Chapter Five: First Day Subbing… let's watch Ninjago!

Two days in the movie verse and I already had my first job subbing for one of the many not cool teachers that the ninjas had to deal with. Not wanting to appear unprofessional, I had dug out my tan slacks and then a nice long-sleeved light blue shirt. I also was still wearing my somewhat worn out sneakers. I had packed my lunch in my teal and white polka-dot cheap lunchbox, and had my purse has well. After making sure that my motorcycle was locked up tight, I took a deep breath, and walked into the school.

It was a bit too similar to my old high school in my opinion. Crowded hallways and lockers with peeling paint. Tightening my grip on my purse, I ducked into what I hoped was the secretary office. "Excuse me? But um, I'm the new substitute…" Who doesn't know a thing about what's she's doing…

A nice looking lady beamed at me, before handing me a clipboard with a whole bunch of papers clipped onto it. "Here is the roll call for all of your classes. Just send them down to here after roll call so we can mark them here… understood?"

I nodded, recalling how all of my substitutes always did that when I was still in school. "Yes ma'am."

"Oh good…" She paused, clearly wanting to tell me something but being completely uncertain on how to do so. Finally she decided to just take the plunge. "Look, not to scare you off…but we do have some trouble kids… I'm afraid it was bad planning on our part that they all are on the same schedule… each of them will be in your second hour class. Just as a warning."

"Ok…" I thought back to the kid that was bullying Lloyd the other day and decided that was who she was talking about. "I'll see you later." I waved goodbye and hurried from the office.

…

Ten minutes later, the tardy bell had already rung and I was hurriedly unlocking the classroom. Next time ask for directions to the class…knowing exactly where it was and not just what the subject was would really be helpful to know.

Shoving the door open, I waved the impatient, and snickering, students inside. "Sorry about that…kinda new around here and I got a little turned around."

They settled down in their seats, pulling out their history textbooks. Right…history…I know a bit from my dimension…but nothing on this dimension. I glanced around, before noticing something interesting. A projector set up…and it had a cord that looked like it would attach to my phone. "Ok…since I am your sub and I don't know what it is your supposed to be learning besides history… we're gonna watch a couple of episodes of my favorite show, well, one of them." I pulled out my phone as I dropped my stuff on the teacher's desk. Plugging it in, I bit my bottom lip as I wondered what show should I turn on. Somehow I had a feeling that I really shouldn't turn on Ninjago. "I know! How does Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir sound? We can either watch it in the order it's listed…or we can skip ahead to the origin episodes…or we could totally watch Weredad! That was an awesome episode…." I glanced over and noticed their confused faces. "Or we could just watch Lolirock for now." I quickly pulled up the first episode of Lolirock, turning the projector on.

….…

First hour was a breeze…except that no one liked the fact that Lolirock was about three princesses with magical powers that form their own girl band. I reached into my purse, pulling out my water bottle, taking a quick drink. Screwing the lid back on, I slipped it back into my purse. Scanning the room, I noticed with utter eagerness that all six of the ninja were here. Of course by the looks on their faces, Lloyd and the siblings had warned them about me, and they weren't sure what to think that I was the mysterious substitute.

"Right. As I told the last class. instead of teaching you, we will be watching the first couple of episodes of one of my shows. Last hour we did Lolirock because…will I was in a Loloirock mood…" And I was seriously getting into a Ninjago mood with them right there… "Must resist showing that show though…" I mumbled under my breath, without thinking.

"What show? Can we watch….please!" Some kid begged, while Zane shifted slightly in his seat.

"If she doesn't want to show us a show…I am sure there is a good reason why. Though I am curious…what is it about?" Zane turned to face me, his eyes flooded with interest.

I mentally noted to scold myself later, before answering his question in a way that I hope would deter them from wanting to watch it. "Ninjas with super powers…of course they had magical weapons before they got their own powers, but still. Ninjas with super powers."

"Turn it on! That sounds amazing!" Nya squealed loudly, nearly whacking Cole in the back of the head as she launched forward.

Note to self, tell them that it is similar to Lolirock and is about princesses….they'll by that right? "Oh boy… Um, the first half of the pilot episode is roughly an hour long… so I'll only play that." Didn't that end with Samukai talking with Garmadon and Garmadon laughing cause everything was going as he had planned?

…

I nodded as everyone stood up and left, though the students were shooting the ninjas weird looks. Must be because not only did they have the same names as the main characters, but also similar looks. Nya however was fuming. "Seriously?! I was captured by Garmadon? That makes me look so lame!"

"Season two we found out that if he had never captured you, then he would never had became a ninja…and if he never became a ninja then Lloyd would be dead by now. And the Overlord would be in control of Ninjago." I, helpfully, pointed out to the fuming ninja of water.

"Um, Mai? I'm not sure that is helpful to know… and why can't we have those weapons!? I mean seriously?!" Lloyd whined to the others, before remembering where he was at. "Um… We are such huge fans of the ninjas…?"

"I already know you all are the ninjas. I'm from a different dimension. Next time I'll just make sure that you all watch Lolirock. Despite being about princesses hiding from an evil warlord that is holding their families prisoner, it is really good." I dropped the whole magical powers and actively fighting against him.

"Ok…please tell us that Sensei knows this?" Jay nervously hid behind Cole.

I gave him an unimpressed look, before turning to look at Lloyd. "Yeah. He overheard me talking with my best friend the other day and is concerned for our sanity for some reason. Oh…another thing, I prefer the personality of the Jay in the show over yours. Far more interesting in my opinion."

"Oh…I was trying to figure out what you thought of me compared to my…counterpart. We need to get to our next class." Jay squeaked out as he somehow shrank in size.

I rolled my eyes, before waving bye at them as they finally left the room. I can totally do this. Sinking down into my seat, I began to bang my head. Not. I can't do this… ugh. I couldn't even keep them from watching their show counterpart!

A/N: Done! Yeah, so when I ask in the story what their last name is….i seriously mean it! What is Kai and Nya's last name in this!? Is it Smith or something else?
