Later
The party was in full swing! Everyone was laughing, eating, having fun...And sharing embarrassing stories about their kids! "So, please tell me again how Cole first wet his pants on his debut as a dancer." Lord Garmadon asked Lou and Belinda, who smiled unknowingly as their older son blushed as his parents retold the story to his Girlfriend (Grace, duh) and her dad. "Well, on Cole's first day as a dancer he had been told that drinking a lot of water helps you stay hydrated and..." Belinda started to retell the story just as Cole was dragged away by Grace, the 2 were unseen by Cole's family or Lord Garmadon.
"Thanks." Cole sighed as the 2 sat on the edge of the now-sailing (in the water) ship, their feet just barely missing the water. "No problem...Buuuut if you realise it, my dad can't interrupt us while he's busy." Grace whispered into Cole's ear, Cole lightly shivered and smiled at her. "Oh? And what exactly would he be interrupting?" Cole asked as he placed a arm around Grace's shoulder, she smiled up at him. "Ooooooh, I have a...Few...Things in mind." Grace whispered as her head was tilted up by Cole's hand, slowly the 2 leaned in and close their eyes as their breaths batted against each other.
Aaaaalmost
"GRACE! *Grace's arm gets grabbed and she is then carried away" 2 loud voices interrupted the 2, before Cole accidentally fell forward and ended up kissing the floor...Sigh, can't he just kiss her once?
With Bunny, Kim-Ly, and Grace
Grace's eye twitched as the 2 girls placed her down in a corner a little bit outside of the party, where the 3 were technically alone. "What? Does EVERYONE on this ship not want me to kiss my boyfriend?" Grace grumbled under her breath before her attention went back to the 2 nervous looking girls, her (Grace's) eyebrow rose a bit. "Do you think you could...Uh...Start dancing with Cole? Th-That way it isn't all that,...Um...Awkward when me and Kim-Ly ask Kai and Zane to dance." Bunny asked Grace, who's eyes flickered from between the 2 girls before she (Grace) gave a smile.
"Sure! I think I can start up some dancing fever." Grace chimed happily, earning relieved and happy looks from the Ninja of Metal and the Ninja of Nature. "Great! (Bunny)" "Thanks a million! (Kim-Ly)" the 2 girls chimed as they tried to walk away, only for Grace to stop them. "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I never said that me and Cole would dance!" Grace stated with a grin as her 2 friends looked confused. "Wh-What did you have in mind then?" Bunny asked nervously, the grin on Grace's face sent a chill up both girl's spines.
Moments Later
Everyone was stationed at a table. On the red table was Kai and Kim-Ly (who was gone for some odd reason), on the blue was Jay and his family along with Nya, on the green was Lloyd and Bruce (who were talking about video games and comics), on the white was Zane and Bunny (who was also gone for some odd reason), on the dark purple was Lord Garmadon and Cole's family along with Cole and Grace (who was gone for some odd reason), then on the black and grey was Sensei Wu and Lila.
Suddenly the light dimmed as a large circle suddenly became light up in the glowing yellow spotlights in front of the 6 tables. Quickly Kim-Ly and Bunny suddenly ran into the spotlight, forced smiles on their faces. "This dancing has been brought to you by Grace Garmadon-! (Bunny)" "-Who we are going to kill after this! (Kim-Ly)" chimed before 2 other figures stepped out into the spot light; everyone who didn't know about Grace's newest powers was confused.
Beside Bunny was the water version of Zane, who was wearing the same thing as before. Then with Kim-Ly was the water version of Kai, who was also wearing the same thing as before. "Say whhaaaaaaa?" everyone (besides those who knew about Grace's water powers) chorused together, Grace couldn't help but laugh as she turned on the sterio and the 2 couples began dancing as they did before. (check Chapter 36)
Though their dancing was technically forced, both girls were calm and collected while still feeling embarrassed at the parts like when they nuzzled their necks. Yet at the same time the real Zane and Kai felt a bit jealous (Mayhemb; They be jelly!) at the water clones of them, wishing that they really were the ones they were dancing with. Soon though Cole felt his inner dancer kicked in when the song ended.
Swiftly Cole raced over to Grace and took her hands, and the 2 went to the spot light along with the other 2 couples. "Hey! No dancing with my daughte-ugh!" Lord Garmadon was cut off when Lila levitated a anvil, where she got it no one knows, into Lord Garmadon's face. As the Dark Lord laid on the ground knocked out, Cole smiled at Grace. "I love your Grandma." Cole whispered to Grace, who giggled before a slowly dance came on the stereo. Swiftly Lou pulls out a video camera along with Ed and the 2 video tape the couples.

-Italics is the song while Bold Italics are what's happening-
I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky The three couples come together softly
And I swear like the shadow that's by your side The boys slowly twirl the girls, who afterwards rest their head on the boys' shoulders
I see the questions in your eyes Kim-Ly smiles as she feels the warmth of the water version of Kai, while the real one watches enviously
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my heart
'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years Bunny smiles happily as she and the water Zane slowly spin in another circle, while the real one watches closely
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I make mistakes
I'll never break your heart
And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky Grace smiles at Cole as the 2 twirled slowly, he smiled back down at her
I'll be there
I swear like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there The 3 boys slowly rest their forehead's to the girl's, almost in perfect sink
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear The 3 boys slowly dip the girls before turning them back up right and going back to dancing
I'll give you every thing I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands Softly the girls rest more on the boy's shoulder
We'll hang some memories on the walls
And when just the two of us are there The boys, in return to the girl's previous actions, hold them closer in their arms
You won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as the time turns the page, my love won't age at all The couples softly and elegantly did a 180 before shuffling slightly
And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
I swear (and I swear) like the shadow that's by your side The boys softly kiss the girl's on the forehead, Grace is the only one not to blush while the real Zane and Kai looked ready to kill their water clones
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart All 3 couples start to slowly speed up in pase as the music grows a bit faster
And I swear
I swear (I swear) by the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every (single) beat of my heart
I swear, I swear, oh, I, swear The boys dip the girls, with Cole and Grace sharing a small kiss as the song ends completely

All 3 couples go stand straight before bowing, then the water versions of Kai and Zane dematerialized. "Okay, can someone tell me what the heck happened? I-I mean...THERE WERE 2 KAIS AND ZANES!" Jay yelled out, Grace giggled lightly as she explained her power of being able to bend water and using dye to make "people" in a sense. "Ugggh, what happened?" Lord Garmadon asked as he got off the floor, Lila groaned. "Oh great! He's alive." Lila groaned, at this Cole laughed at lightly.
"Oh be quiet boy, at least I didn't pee my pants in front of people." Lord Garmadon growled, at this Cole looked away in shame and embarrassment while Lila looked kind of smug. "Nooooo, but you were the boy who was pantsed in front of a entire carnival over a flat screen." Lila stated, at this Lord Garmadon blushed while everyone laughed at him. "Oh you old bat! I'll get you for tha-wha?" Lord Garmadon asked as suddenly the air picked him up, placed him in the corner, made him put his thumb in his mouth, then turn him around (Mayhemb; This scene was inspired by the Hotel Transalvania commercials).
"Okay, I love your family to Grace!" Kai laughed as he watched Lord Garmadon fidget in the corner of the deck, the rock he (Lord Garmadon) was sitting on probably wasn't comfortable. "Okay, come now people, there is cake to cut!" Grace cheered on, at this Cole picked her up happily. "CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!" Cole yelled as he ran and carried a laughing Grace to the buffet table, everyone followed behind them...Even Lord Garmadon, who was taken out of "time out" by Lila due to Grace's request.
Bunny softly started to walk to the table, before a hand was placed on her shoulder. Slowly yet quickly Bunny turned around, to see a slightly embarrassed Zane behind her. "Oh, hi Zane..! I-Is something wrong?" Bunny asked Zane, who blushed slightly as he fidgited with his under shirt that was jutting out from his tuxedo jacket. "Y-You seem to enjoy dancing very much." Zane calmly stated, at this Bunny blinked before slightly smiling.
"It seems so." Bunny whispered to Zane, who slowly met her eyes. "Then...Would you like to dance with me?" Zane asked Bunny, who's heart skipped beat at the question. "I...I would lo-" Bunny was cut off when Edna and Belinda grabbed Bunny and began talking to her (Bunny) as the 3 girls walked to the buffet table. Bunny looked apologetically to a slightly sad Zane, who seemed to cheer up when Bunny mouthed the words, "dance later."
Kai and Kim-Ly were comfortably leaning against the railing, the water reflecting the bright full moon perfectly to where the 2 were on both sides of it as they ate their cake. While Kai had a dark chocolate, Kim-Ly had a strawberry cake. "I...Uh...N-Never knew you liked strawberries." Kai commented, trying his best to strike a conversation. "S-Sometimes I do...There pretty good once you get use to their sweetness." Kim-Ly replied, before blinking at Kai.
"Wh-What?" Kai asked as Kim-Ly continued to stare at him, and he could feel his chest hurt from how hard his heart was pounding when Kim-Ly suddenly came a little bit further then face to face with him."U-Ummm." Kai uncomfortably said, before Kim-Ly's hand found it's way to Kai's cheek...Kai thought, even though it lasted for only a little while, that he was feeling pure velvet.
Yet as soon as her comforting hand came to his cheek it went away, to reaveal some chocolate frosting on her fingertips. "Heh, next time you want to eat chocolate cake Kai, make sure that you eat the frosting to. Okay?" Kim-Ly asked in a teasing fashion before licking the froasting off her fingers, if her eyes weren't close she would have seen the embarrassed look on Kai's face.
"F-Fine." Kai grumbled as he stabbed his cake for a peice, almost spliting the fork. "Geez, relax Kai! The thing is only plastic." Kim-Ly said, motioning to the plasic fork Kai was using that was slightly shaking with how much force was on it. "*sighs* Here, let me help." Kim-Ly stated as she took the plastic fork from Kai's hand (he willingly gave it to her) and lightly dabbed the cake as she took a good bite-sized peice, with frosting, out of it.
"Aaaaah." Kim-Ly whispered softly, to where only the 2 of them could hear. "A...Aaaaahh." Kai mimicked as a blush was painted on his cheeks, and when the cake hit his tongue he could have sworn it tasted a million times better then when he fed himself. Kai didn't realise that the fork was still in his mouth as Kim-Ly went back to watching the others. Suddenly Kim-Ly grinned as she saw one thing; Zane and Bunny dancing with each other.
Right at the moment Zane actually danced pretty well, which Bunny was greatful for since he didn't step on her feet. "Bet Grace taught him some stuff." Kim-Ly mummbled as she chewed on a strawberry, Kai made a mental note to ask Grace for dance lessons some time soon. "A-Any way...D-Do you want to dance?" Kai asked Kim-Ly, who laughed slightly. She had enough dancing for tonight. "No thanks, I've already danced with you- (Kim-Ly)" "B-But that was my water version double ganger!" Kai yelled as he cut off Kim-Ly, who placed a hand on his lips to keep him quiet.
"I may have already danced with you, but that doesn't mean that I won't spend time with you." Kim-Ly stated softly, before blinking and uncomfortably took a few steps back. 'Why does she push herself away?' Kai asked, yet he didn't mind, as long as he spent time with her.
Morning
Everyone was dressed in their regular (non ninja) clothes. Bunny, Kim-Ly, and Grace were all wearing their regular clothing (Chapter 21). The ship was now in the sky, and the deck was cleared of any signs that there had been a party there. "There it is." Kim-Ly told everyone, who then looked over the side. The village was medium sized with lots of stalls, markets, a few houses, a appartment or two, 2 large lakes, and then there was a forest circling it completly.
"Going down then!" Nya cried out as she started to lower the ship into a area near the village entrance, Kim-Ly was freaking out...Could her past catch up to her before she could think of a way to respond?
