Chapter 29

It was 4:30 and the ninja's training had just gotten out of training for the day and Kai and Lloyd both had plans. Lloyd was going to meet up with Cassie when she was babysitting Andy, and Kai was going on a date with Bryn. Lloyd had decided that he and Cassie knew each other well enough to just wear his ninja gi, Lloyd though it was much comfier than normal clothes. This time however Lloyd made sure to tell Cassie he was coming. Lloyd walking in to the bedroom he shared with the other ninja (except Nya of course) to get his phone, to see Kai in a dark red dress shirt and black dress pants carefully re-spiking his hair.

Lloyd smiled, "Getting ready for the big date?"

Kai nodded, "Yep, I am really excited… and honestly… kind of nervous" Kai admitted

Lloyd nodded in understand meant, "Yeah, but seriously don't stress yourself out about it, it will go fine." Lloyd reassured Kai

Kai shrugged, "I hope so"

A few minutes later Lloyd was tumbling down Anderson's family's chimney (just because) to see Andy run up to him and hug him and Cassie, well Cassie just rolled her eyes at his entrance.

Cassie sighed, "Really, did you really have to come down the chimney? I would have opened the door if you knocked!" Cassie argued.

Lloyd smirked, "Well I guess I could…. But I mean what sort of entrance would that be?" Lloyd questioned.

Cassie just smiled and shook her head at Lloyd's antics, "Lloyd why do I even try? Anyway, Andy so now that Lloyd's here what do you want to do?" Cassie questioned the younger boy.

Andy smiled, "Can we play monopoly?" The child asked his two babysitters.

Cassie and Lloyd both frowned, "Um… isn't that game like really complicated… especially for a 5 year old…." Lloyd asked Cassie.

Cassie nodded in agree meant, "Yeah… and takes like 5 hours to complete… we only have 1" Cassie added

Anderson's lip began to quiver and his eyes widened, like he was about to burst in to tears, "But… But but…." Anderson started

Lloyd started to panic, Andy was about to cry, and Lloyd couldn't deal with crying children, his will power crumbled, "OK! We will play monopoly!" Lloyd said as he ran to grab the game.

Andy's face almost instantly turned happy again as Lloyd brought back the board Game and the two started to help him set it up.

Bryn and Kai had just sat down at their table and after about a minute of awkwardness it disappeared. Kai and Bryn were chatting like they had known each other for years instead of just a month.

Bryn was laughing after hearing Kai tell her the story of when there were fighting there evil doubles and needless to say, Bryn though it was hilarious, "Oh my gosh Kai! Then a bunch of tiny children dressed in ninja gi came out and ATTACKED the evil doubles, lead by mini Lloyd!" Bryn continued laughing

Kai smiled and laughed to, "Yeah it was really funny…. And kind of weird at the moment but I mean my entire LIFE is weird." Kai explained

Bryn nodded then suddenly stopped laughing a perplexed look entered her face, "Wait a second… Why was Lloyd a kid… isn't he like the same age as you guys?" Bryn asked the red ninja.

Kai smirked, "Well THAT is actually a really interesting story, you see…."

Lloyd and Cassie stared dumbfound at the board game of monopoly, Anderson, the four year old boy, was KILLING them. Andy owned almost everything and put keys on over HALF of everything he owned! He had already gotten Lloyd to do bankrupt…. And they were only HALF AN HOUR though the game!

Lloyd had his face smashed in to the wall in the corner, half being funny, half really humiliated, "How! HOW! Did I lose to a FOUR year old! How!" Lloyd muttered in the corner

Cassie shook her head, eyes wide in amazement at Anderson's Monopoly skills, "What… WHAT IS GOING ON! HOW AM I ALSO LOSING TO A FOUR YEAR OLD! UNLIKE YOU LLOYD I AM ACTUALLY GOOD AT MONOPLOY!" Cassie also complained.

Just then Cassie landed on one of Andy's MANY properties and wet bankrupt, and had to join Lloyd in the corner of shame.

Lloyd sighed, "How is he so good at that game anyway?" Lloyd whispered to Cassie

Cassie shook her head, "Honestly, I have absolutely no idea…. And the worst part is, I thought I was good at that game" Cassie explained.

Lloyd nodded in agreement, "Or maybe the worst part is my pride is very wounded at the moment" Lloyd explained

Cassie let a out a small laugh, "What? Embarrassed the all powerful green ninja was bet in monopoly by a kid- how old are you again?" Cassie asked

Lloyd froze, how Cassie would react to him being like 13, "Um… well that's um… a difficult question…." Lloyd responded

Cassie raised her eyebrow, "Um…. What?" Cassie asked confused how a person's age could be a difficult question.

Lloyd scratched the back of his head, "Well chronologically I'm 13…. And physically and mentally… at least I HOPE mentally as well…. I'm like 16-20 years old…I'm still not exactly sure what physical age I am…" Lloyd tried to explain.

Cassie blinked, "Um…. Ok…. And how exactly did this happen?" Cassie asked

Lloyd explained the Grundle accident to Cassie who listened without interrupting.

And at the end Cassie look utterly confused, "So your dad brought a evil dinosaur back to life turned the ninjago into kids and to save ninjago you had to dump magic tea on you guys and the dinosaur?" Cassie asked

Lloyd slightly tilted his head, "Ehhh… sort of…" Lloyd said

Cassie nodded, "Ok… well I'm just going to go with your also mentally… 18?" Cassie asked.

Lloyd shrugged "sure, let's go with 18"

Zane, Nya, and Jay had been working on the details of the rollercoaster all day and had sent Jay to Ninjago city to buy them some more books about rollercoaster's and such.

Jay hummed as he strolled down the streets of Ninjago city oblivious that he was getting attention from still wearing his ninja suit when he saw the newest issue of ninjago gossip and saw the cover page was about then. Curious to what story had landed the ninja a spot on the cover page he bought it and headed back to the bounty. Once he got back to the Destiny's Bounty it turned out that Nya and Zane were also very interested on the front story as well. As the flipped though the magazine they saw that the story wasn't about them it was just about Lloyd and Cassie. Somehow Ninjago Gossip found out that Lloyd and Cassie were dating… Nya had LOTS of bad things to say about ninjago gossip, for she had had her own share of stories posted about her, and jay was just sort of stared at the article in awe, how did they even find this out…. Jay took a quick glance out the window… just to be safe.

Zane however said nothing but just had a look of perplexity pasted on his face, as if he just learned something about the article that the others didn't…

Well this is official the shortest chapter I have ever written, it wasn't super fun to write like most chapters are, it was more of a chapter I just had to get done. Also I'm really sorry about the late update, I should have posted this on Wednesday but I got bored 800 word in to it and on Thursday I didn't get home till 9. Well anyway I hope this chapter isn't too bad... but either way I hope you guys still enjoyed it! AveXCninja11
