(A/N: Well, I got tired of waiting for some name suggestions since ANIC101 was the only one to provide me one, as well as a gender, so I decided to come up with names myself, and you can take a vote, on which name would suit Zane and Pixal's child)


At the penthouse, Zane had cooked some curry, which the Ninjago Force were having for dinner while talking about their day, which was of course Kai ditching Nya to take Skylor to the hospital, Lloyd applying for Midtown and almost getting arrested, Cole getting acquainted with his former bandmate's sister, Nya planning on going to Jay's family's junkyard, and Zane and Pixal telling them the news about their baby's gender. As they await the news, Zane and Pixal look at each other. "Well?" Kai asked.

They both soon look back at them. "It's a boy." Zane replied.

"A boy?" Kai asked.

"That's so cool!" Jay said. "Hey, have you two thought of a name?"

"Not really." Pixal replied, touching her baby bump. "We only have a month to go."

"How about Carl?"

"No, try Raymond." Kai said. "After my father."

"It should be Larry." Lloyd replied.

"Zachary, after my old manager." Cole said.

"No, give him something nice, like Paul." Nya said.

"We'll see." Pixal replied.

"Hey, how's about a bet?" Kai asked. "I got a 20 that they'll pick my name."

"I got a 20 as well." Jay replied.

"Well, Zane, you'll have to hold onto the money." Lloyd said as he hands him his $20, followed by the others.

"Okay, $100 to the winner when our son is born and we choose a name." He said.

"And if you don't go with any of those?" Nya asked.

"I keep it." This got them to groan while Pixal chuckled. "Now, let's leave it for another day, we have to be ready for our first day back at school tomorrow."

"Ah, yes." Cole replied, not feeling up to it. "Back to Midtown High." He soon turned to Lloyd. "Lloyd, small warning, you see a guy named Flash, ignore him."

"O...K..." Lloyd said, a little unsure.


The following morning, the moment the Ninjago Force stepped into Midtown High, they were greeted with applause from other students, including Peter, who for some reason had a bandage wrapped around his right wrist, Harry and MJ. "Welcome back." Someone called out.

They soon split up to find their lockers while some students start to come up to them, and make small talk with them. By his locker, Lloyd had just unlocked his before Flash soon came up to him. Flash was wearing some sort of t-shirt that said 'Spider-Man' on it. "Hey, Garmadon." He said.

"Let me guess." Lloyd replied, not looking at him. "Flash Thompson."

"Yep. Listen, want to come by my place tonight? Parents are out for the weekend."

"No, thanks."

"Come on. All my friends are either in jail, or space."

"Thanks, but no thanks, Thompson." Lloyd grabs his books before closing his locker, and walks away.


Most of the day went off pretty well for the Ninjago Force. Lloyd had at first struggled with some advanced history. Kai exceeded at sports, although he accidentally deflated most of the balls, so the coach asked him to try and get some fireproof gloves. Jay and Zane became top students in science and engineering. Cole exceeded well in boxing and wrestling. And Nya did well in engineering, but was average in home economics, with Peter helping her a little.


In the warehouse, Alistair was working on a component as there was a machine close by, being worked on by a middle aged man before Wilson then came in. "How goes the device, Smythe?" He asked.

"Progressing perfectly, Kingpin." Alistair replied. "Max just has a few wires to install, a power component and a few inactive Ninjago Crystals, and we're in business."

"Excellent. Speaking of a power component, I think I know where to find one."


In a classroom at Midtown High in the afternoon, Lloyd, Jay, and Nya were among those studying until Lloyd felt someone spitballing him, and turned to see that it was Flash, who had a look of anger, obviously because he wasn't the target. It was supposed to be Peter, who had ducked down to pick up a pencil he apparently dropped. "Grow up, Thompson." Nya muttered, causing him to shrug. Jay on the other hand struggled since he only had one eye but had slightly moved his head to see the test sheet clearly.


In his classroom, Zane was busy writing on a test sheet, trying to ignore the stares around him from the other students, who weren't doing their studying, all of whom were curious about his robotic appearance. "Class, please follow Mr. Toomes' example, and copy down what is on the board." The teacher said aloud, causing the students to resume studying.


In their classroom, Kai and Cole were looking at some textbooks among other students as one discreetly throws a pebble at Cole, but surprisingly, he didn't turn around, almost as he never felt it. Out of curiosity, the student throws a pebble at Kai, hitting him at the back of his neck, causing him to growl and turn to the student, who pretends not to have done it. "Moron." He muttered while resuming his reading.


Once the school day was over, the Ninjago Force had just returned home before seeing Norman, James and Cyrus by the couch. "Dad." Lloyd said.

"What are you guys doing in here?" Kai asked.

"Well, the board has came to a unanimous decision." Norman replied. "You're all free to leave the building."

"Yes." Lloyd muttered. "I do miss my own room and bed."

"Kai, remember we have nowhere to go?" Nya asked.

"This is your choice, you know." Cyrus replied. "We cannot force you."

Kai and Nya look at each other before nodding. "Nya and I would like to stay here." Kai said.

"I'd like to as well." Zane said.

"I really do miss my parents and sister." Jay said. "So I'll move back in with them."

"Mom already wanted me to move back because she was feeling alone in her apartment." Cole said.

"I'll wait outside, son." James said to Lloyd as he got up to leave, followed by Norman and Cyrus.

"But can we also this penthouse as a sort of base of operation?" Lloyd asked them.

"Of course." Norman replied. "It is yours, after all." They soon head into the elevator.


Packing up their stuff with Kai, Zane and Nya's help, Jay, Cole and Lloyd went back to their houses.


At the junkyard, Jay's mother was hugging him, almost to the point he was almost out of breath. "Mom, I can't breathe." He said.

"Oh, I'm just glad you're home." She replied before backing away. "By the way, come outside, you need to see this." She started to drag him out.

She led him to Jay's father, who was standing by something covered by a tarp. "Well, I've been working on your design even after you were in the coma, son." He said.

"Wait, is this-?" Jay cuts himself off.

"Yep, the Thunder Rider." Jay's father took off the tarp to show a big blue rover.

"Wow!" Jay heads over to check it out while his parents watch him.

"I guess he likes it, Ed." His mother said to his father.

"I guess so, too, Edna." He replied.


(A/N: Okay, now this is where you must decide on the baby's name, which is on a poll on my profile page. If neither of them are good, do not be shy to give me a name suggestion of your own in reviews or PM)
