Cole was laughing loudly at his girlfriend. She had just explained the whole situation with the giant snake, though not very smoothly. He didn't blame her, if he were in her position, he'd likely have trouble explaining it as well.

The girl growled and rubbed her head as his laughter turned to light snickering.

'Yeh try explaining that yah can communicate with a giant snake in yer head.' The girl scoffed and started to sulk with her hands in front of her face.

The black ninja shook his head and grabbed her hands to keep them away from her face. 'You realize that in our line of work, nothing sounds crazy anymore, we've passed that milestone after the wrecking-ball with a face.' He stated making the girl crack a smile.

'Yeah,' she agreed as she laced their fingers together. 'Though that was one of our weirder days.'

'So, do you go there every night?' He steered the conversation back on track.

The redhead shook her head. 'No, it really depends. There are always intervalls.' She pursed her lips and he waited patiently for her to continue as the kettle started to whistle. The boy stood up and went to prepare the tea.

'Earl Grey with lemon, right?'

There was a small silence. 'Yeah, not as strong as last time, though.'

He turned around with narrowed eyes at her joking tone. 'That was once, and you could've gotten it yourself.' He defended himself as he poured the water in a large mug.

Calli just shrugged with a grin on her face though she was glad for the little distraction this posed. 'Just be glad it was mine and not one of Wu's.' She teased.

Cole just rolled his eyes and quickly pulled her hood over her eyes as he passed her with the mug in his hand before he put in in front of her and handed her the teabag.

'Thanks.' She quickly grabbed hold of the cup and absentmindedly dipped the bag up and down. 'Anything else yeh want to know?'

He eyed her for a few seconds. Her posture was somewhat rigid and closed off and she didn't really look at him. He'd know her for more then a year but he'd rarely seen her like this. The red-head usually was pretty good at putting on a mask or hiding behind sarcastic remarks, but like now she looked vulnerable as she gripped the mug tightly, staring into the steam trough her eyelashes.

Suddenly an idea popped into his head. 'When's your birthday?'

That did the trick, the far-off look melted with seconds and took place for surprise.

'Off all the things...' She muttered, a small smile on her dark red lips. 'I don't know actually. Not that it matters much, never celebrated it anyway.'

The black Ninja gave her a dark look and she caved before he could even say anything. 'Fine, I'll ask Inizio next time i'll see him.'

He grinned. 'Good. I like to know when I need to have Nya dress you up.'

'Don't yeh bloody dare, Steele.'

'Oh you know I will.' He had to laugh when she groaned and banged her head on the table.

'I'm sorry.' He laughed and placed his hands over hers, which were still on the now forgotten tea-mug, making her look up with curious eyes. 'It's hard to tease you so I take any chance I can get.'

Calli had to chuckle at that a bit. 'I guess that's true.' She paused. 'But isn't there anything else yeh want to know?'

Cole shook his head and pushed a curl out of her face. 'No, I just wanted some clearance as to the giant snake thing.'

She gave him another smile and looked down bashfully. 'I'm sorry, I'm just not that good at talking about my problems.'

'I know, others always come first to you, but just know you can talk to me, okay. You aren't less important than any of us.'

'Thank yah.'

Cole smiled at her, glad he was able to help her come at ease a little bit. 'How about I take you out tonight? If your leg is feeling up to it. You deserved it after that disaster.'

'It's just a bit sore, but I could use a calm night after the everything that happened, did yeh have anything in mind?'

'Yup.' He grinned as a knowing look formed on her face.

'Yeh ain't gonna tell me, are yeh?' she pouted, he knew dead well she hated surprises.

He grinned. 'You guessed right. Let's go around 8, after dinner.'

'Alright then, If it's far we could take my bike.'

'That's a good idea, But i'm driving.'

She stopped her mug mid-air. 'It's MY bike!'

'But i'm the only one with official licence, and you know you're not allowed to use it unless on mission.'

'Then we're making it a damn mission, ye're not driving my baby!'

'I'm driving your baby, because I know where we're going.'

Calli narrowed her eyes at her boyfriend and took another sip of tea, she couldn't really argue with that one. 'One scratch and both Nya and I will kill yeh.'

He gave her a mock-salute with a cheshire grin. 'Scout's honour, hun.'

Calli nearly choked on her tea from laughter. 'Now that was cheesy.'

Suddenly Kai burst into the kitchen making the two jump up. 'If the two of you are done being cute, we need Cole for Lloyd's training.'

The black ninja rolled his eyes. 'I'm coming. Give me a second to get ready.' He stood up quickly and gave Calli a quick look. She nodded and gave him a signal that it was fine and she'd join them in a minute.

Lloyd was very distant during the training. He wasn't focussed at all, because he felt he was missing out. The boys didn't help the situation by pointing out that the whole fate of Ninjago was resting on his shoulders.

'Let the kid get his comic.' Calli huffed her head held high in defiance of Kai's orders. Kai shot Cole a look, who in turn only raised his hands as a signal he would not get inbetween this argument, though Lloyd seemed happy someone was sticking up for him.

'He needs to train.'

'He needs to not overwork himself, motivation and knowing when to quit are just as important as knowing when to kick or punch.'

Kai narrowed his eyes. 'If you're in control of the schedule you're welcome to change it.'

The redhead crossed her arms. 'Ye know bloody well why i'm not allowed to do so.'

'Because you've got a tendency to go overboard?' The red ninja scoffed sarcastically.

'No, because my training would require me to dump him somewhere in the middle of a city, point at a house and then go: "Here's a knife, get in and out and try not to die." At least that's how I learned to fight.'

Jay sighed and got in-between. 'Now's not the time to start joking.'

Calli actually let out a laugh. 'He think's i'm joking.' She got a few worried looks. 'It's not the point, the point is that ye'r all pushing him too much.'

Jay opened his mouth to speak as he slapped his hand on Kai's mouth, but before he could utter a sound, Nya rushed onto the deck.

'Guys, there's been a Break-in at the Ninjago City Museum of History and the security cameras picked up you-know-who.'

'Voldemord?' Calli joked with a grin.

'Garmadon.' Cole grabbed her shoulders and pushed her softly out of the way with a look that signalled she should quit.

Jay readied his weapon. 'We have to stop him before he uses the Mega Weapon to start another one of the diabolical plots.'

Lloyd bounced over to the group but one look of all the boys stopped him in his tracks. 'Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I can't go and it's safer if i stay here and train.' The boy pouted.

Calli put an arm on his shoulder. 'I'll stay with you.' she whispered to him with a grin.

Kai turned towards his sister. 'We'll meet up at the Bounty as soon as we're done.'

The girl smiled. 'We'll be waiting for your save return.'

As soon as the boys were gone Lloyd sighed. 'I'm too old for comic-books and too young to fight. When are they gonna make up their minds.'

Nya giggled and grabbed a weapon. 'Come on, pint-size. Show me what you got.'

Yeey another one finished. Hope you liked the little moment between Call and Cole :) I really liked writing that part, if I wasn't terrible at drawing guys i'd draw it in a little cartoon ;P (Though I managed to draw a Lloyd that actually looked like a dude.

Also I just finished episode 98 and I was just squealing at the part with Nya and Jay, that was so adorable. Also, how many more fake-outs could you have, first Zane in S3 and now those two idiots xD

Anyhow, Onto the reviews:

Pappilie: That's okay, I hope the part between them :) and don't worry you'll get many more sibling moments between them.

I hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you in the next chapter.
