Darkrainbow (guest): Yeah, I often have seen Kai as a jerk in stories.
Pinkie Pie luvs Ninjago: I just had the chapters done, so I decided to post them. I had no idea when I's be able to update again, so I just did it, kinda without thinking.
"There's really no grown-ups here?" Lloyd asked. The three of them had parked (dropped) their bikes near a tree and were sitting under said tree. Jay kept trying to climb the tree, though the lowest branch was eight feet off the ground.
"Only kids." Cole said.
"Y-Yeah! Kids run everything here!" Jay said happily. "And we're going into the next t-town today!"
"We are?"
"Yeah. Kai's supposed to come with up, and so's the leader of our cabin, Don." Cole said. "The teen you met earlier is Dylan, but he's a night owl, and won't be coming with us."
"What's a night owl?" Lloyd asked. Jay began to explain it to him, sitting down. Cole saw Kai biking to where they were, then dropping his bike with the other three.
"We still going into town today?" Kai asked.
"Probably. Have you talked to Don yet?"
"Uh, no."
"Of course you haven't." Cole muttered. "By the way, this is Lloyd, and you're his guide." He said, gesturing to the seven year old.
"I know that!" Kai snapped.
"Then I'm going to look for Don. Jay, are you coming with me, or staying here with Kai and Lloyd?"
"I'll come." Jay said, standing up. The two of them walked over to the bikes, finding theirs and taking off down the road.
"Don's working right now, and all the jobs are in the main building." Cole said as the two of them went down the road. "If I remember correctly, he's in electronics..." Cole muttered, parking his bike. The two walked into the building, Cole leading the way to electronics. When they entered the room, Jay's eyes widened.
"C-Can I look around?" He asked.
"Uh, sure. Just don't leave the room." Jay nodded, and went off to one of the computers. Cole rolled his eyes, walking to the back.
"Cole, what're you doing here?" Someone asked.
"I'm looking for Don. Where is he?"
"I think he's in back, probably working on developing some weird tech. He's pretty good with that stuff."
"Thanks." Cole said, nodding slightly as he walked to the back, seeing Don sitting at one of the tables, a small machine in front of him. "Hey, Don." Cole said, tapping his shoulder.
"Yeah?"
"We're going into town today, remember?"
"Oh... that's today?" Don asked. "Oh! Right, we are! Sorry, it slipped my mind a bit." Then he looked behind Cole. "Where's Jay?"
"He went off to look at some of the tech. And Lloyd's with Kai."
"Huh. I didn't know Jay was a tech nerd." Don said, walking to the front of the room with Cole.
"Well, he never said anything about that." Then the two of them saw Jay sitting at one of the computer, typing something. "Jay, you ready to go?"
"He's amazing with computers!" One of the girls said, her brown hair twisted up in a loose bun. Jay turned to Don and Cole, grinning.
"D-Did you hear that?" Jay asked.
"Yeah." Cole said. "So, are you ready?" Jay nodded.
"Can we come back here?"
"We can try."
"I can take him with me tomorrow." Don offered. "I think Kai's gonna need some help with Lloyd, anyway."
"Knowing his temper, he definitely will."
"This is the same town I had to go through yesterday." Lloyd said as the group stashed their bikes just out of sight.
"I think everyone has to come through here." Don said. "I know I did."
"I was six at the time." Kai said. "I don't remember." Cole rolled his eyes, and Don lightly hit the back of his head.
"Why aren't the r-roads in the village paved?" Jay asked.
"None of us know how to pave a road." Cole said. "And we don't have enough money to buy the equipment needed."
"How do you guys even get money?" Lloyd asked.
"We sell what we can." Don said, tugging the strap of his backpack. "The tech gets more money, though." Then he handed Cole some money and a piece of paper. "Don't get anything other then what's on the list. Kai and Lloyd, come with me."
"Alright." Jay and Cole went down the road, Cole occasionally glancing at the list.
An hour later, Cole's backpack was full, everything on the list was crossed off, and there was only a dollar left.
"Were we supposed to meet everyone somewhere?" Jay asked. Cole had noticed that his stammer was less now, which meant that he wasn't as nervous.
"I'm not sure..." Cole said, laughing a bit. "That probably would've been a good thing to ask."
"Yeah..." Jay said.
"Well, if we keep walking, we're bound to run into them, right?"
"I guess s-so." So the two of them walked down the road some more, until Cole heard Kai. The two of them went over to where the voice was coming from, and Don, Kai and Lloyd were standing.
"We were looking for you two." Don said. "Where've you been?"
"Looking for you guys." Jay said.
"Didn't we set up a meeting point?" Lloyd asked.
"Uh... no." Don said. Kai let out an annoyed groan.
"We never set up those kinds of things." Kai muttered. "Our cabin is probably the most disorganized in the whole village."
"Kai, knock it off." Cole said. "Nobody asked you."
"Okay, changing the subject now. Cole, did you get everything?" Don asked.
"Yeah. And... here." Cole dug through his pocket, pulling out the dollar and handing it to Don.
"You're lucky I got a good amount of money." He said with a sigh.
"Are we heading back n-now?" Jay asked.
"Yeah." Don said.
The ride back to the village was uneventful, and when they did get back, Don took the backpack from Cole and went inside the main building, giving it, and the money to Grace.
"I can take Jay with me for the rest of the day." Don said, walking back outside. "I can come and find you guys at dinner."
"Can I?" Jay asked Cole.
"Are you sure it's okay, Don?" Cole asked.
"It's fine. Apparently he's great at technology, and I've been needing help with something for a while now."
"Alright." Cole said. "But you're with me tomorrow, Jay."
"Yes!"
"Well, in that case, could you take Lloyd for me?" Kai asked. "I told Nya that I'd help her with something..." Then he raced off on his bike, leaving Lloyd and Cole.
"Did you even give me a choice?" Cole asked, but Kai was too far away to hear him.
Wow, Kai's being a total jerk, especially to Lloyd. I feel kinda mean now. CameronNinjaDragons, signing off.
