"So, Lloyd, you're the Green Ninja." Stone hummed as the four walked through the filled streets. Everyone heading off to the celebration.

Lloyd nodded. "Erm, yeah." He looked to the werewolf and said. "Thought that was a bit obvious."

"To be honest, it took me a bit to realize that. I'm not kept up that much with what happens." Stone admitted.

"S'all good. I rather make friends with someone who doesnt know." Lloyd admitted with a smile. "Makes things easier in my opinion."

"I agree." Lark hummed. "I'd prefer for no one to know who I was. Never know how many people are faking it."

Stone tilted his head and asked. "Are people honestly that dishonest?"

"Yes." The other three said at the exact same time.

Misty threw an arm over Stone's shoulders and said while jabbing her finger into his chest. "My dude, you need to get out more."

Stone looked down at the pavement. "Sorry." He mumbled out.

"No need to apologize!" Lark reassured him with a warm smile. "We love you regardless of how clueless you are at times!"

Stone raised his head up again. "Yay!" He cheered quietly. "I'm loved!"

"Always will be!" Misty grinned.

The group feel into a comfortable silence after then, silently walking along the path.

"So you have no problem walking with strangers?" Lark asked Lloyd. "Despite being a celebrity?"

Lloyd looked to the three and shrugged. "I'm not usually concerned about those kind of things." He explained. "And I'd be stuck with strangers anyway." He pointed out. "I'm just skeptical of you lot."

"You should worry." Lark responded, a slightly crossed tone in her voice. "You never know what people could do. There are a lot of cruel people in this realm."

Lloyd stared at her for a minute. "I'll take it in consideration next time." He assured her.

"Thank you." Lark put crossed her arms slightly. "Sorry for momming you." She sighed. "I'm just the mom friend."

"S'all good." Lloyd smiled, looking at her. "I dont mind."

"Says you." Stone growled out. "No, Stone, brush your hair better, you look like you just got out of bed."

Misty scoffed and joined in. "No Misty, wear sunscreen, I dont care if you're going for a walk, wear sunscreen."

Lark went bright red and yelled out. "Misty! Stone!"

"She's gonna kill us again." Stone whimpered out.

"Not if I kill her first." Misty grinned.

"No!" Lloyd yelped out. "Bad! No killing!"

"Please don't, Misty." Stone whined out, his tail waving slightly.

"Come at me!" Lark stretched out her arms and stuck her tounge out as Misty, who simply huffed.

"Greenie would probably blast us if I did." She teased the green ninja.

Lloyd tilted his head and said. "I would love to join this fight!"

Stone forced a smile and said. "Optimism is here!" He gave a shakey thumbs up and then lowered his ears. "You guys are kidding, right?"

"Yes, Stone." Lark sighed. "We are. You're still not scared, are you?"

"Terrified. That could of been so bad."

Lloyd tilted his head and asked. "What happened?" Lloyd knew when there was a story.

Stone looked to the ninja and began. "We all got into a play-fight."

"Then suddenly I kept phasing through everything." Misty continued. "We dont know what it was."

"We just know it came from Stone." Lark finished.

Lloyd tilted his head slightly. "Fascinating, did this power come from someone in your family?" He asked.

Stone shrugged. "My mother didnt have anything like this and I dont know if my father did, or if anyone before them had something like this."

Lloyd seemed thoughtful for a moment before smiling and asking. "Mind if I bring this up with Uncle Wu? I'm sure he'll know what's up."

Stone lightened up at that and said with a small wag of his tail. "Please? Having this mystery solved would be great!" He chirped happily. The group fell into silence again, walking side-by-side through the empty streets. The street lights shining brightly overhead of them. The moon's light reflecting off the puddles nearby them.

Lark glared at Misty the whole time as they walked and she growled lowly and said. "I have powers too. Can you please bring it up with Wu as well?" Lloyd smiled and nodded. Lark smiled and patted Misty's shoulder.

"I'll have my lips sealed about this." he promised them.

The silence was taunting. Like they could be swallowed whole by the silence, and not from the group. It was just so silent for a walk. There should atleast be a little noise.

"We should probably head back to the party." Lloyd suddenly spoke up. "We wouldnt want to be gone for too long."

"Yeah..." Misty breathed out. "Let's go."

Lark and Stone exchanged a look before turning back around with the rest of the group and pausing. Lark looked over her shoulder and felt a cold breeze hit them roughly.

Lloyd turned back and breathed out. The cobblestone roads starting to have frost appear on them.

"We should go." Misty said, backing away slightly. "I don't think that's natural."

"Me neither." Stone stammered out.

Lloyd nodded and said. "Let's go back to the party..." His eyes showed nothing but confusion. Zane wouldn't do this? But he knew of no one with ice powers. But would Wu tell him?

As the group turned and began to walk back towards the party with urgency in their steps, the frozen wind grew nearer and stronger. It was following them. Lloyd spun around, his hands a lit with his powers. Nothing. His threw his hands down, his powers vanishing. He narrowed his eyes, he wanted to catch something in the ice cold air. But he could see nothing.

"C'mon, Lloyd. We dont want to wait around." Lark whispered, she was suddenly next to Lloyd, her hands resting in his, trying to pull him away. He was surprised he didnt notice or feel her. He turned his head to look at her and then down at their hands. He squeezed down on her hand and slowly turned around, not letting go. Lark following after him and walking close to him. She was just human afterall. Nothing to defend her. Misty knew how to fight and had powers.

Stone had amazingly sharp teeth, and also powers, Lloyd was a savior... what was Lark? Nothing. Just a flesh bag. He wanted to protect her. She needed protecting. He could feel it.

Since they were hurrying it didnt take long for them to return to the party, slipping in unnoticed. Once they were in Lark tugged her hand free and walked to the window. She looked out, hugging herself slightly and tightening her grip on Lloyd's weisket. Her eyes widen as she spotted something glowing moving. The frost disappearing as the creature walked away. She could make out that it was large and that it moved a bit sloppily. It was hurt. She could also make out antlers with things hanging off them.

"Are you okay?" Lark jumped at the sound of Misty's voice and spun around to face her.

"No..." Lark got out. Despite being with many people she still felt so unsafe. It followed them... it was... terrifying.

Lark felt a pair of arms wrap around her and melted into the touch. "It's okay." Stone mumbled to her, his voice soft. "You're okay. We're okay."

Misty patted Lark's back and added. "C'mon, let's head to the back."

"You guys go ahead." Lark forced out, slowly pulling away from Stone. She looked to both her best friends. A smile on her features as she started at them. "I need to return this to Lloyd." She explained. "It's gone now so we should be okay." She added quickly when Misty opened her mouth to argue.

Stone nudged Misty and she sighed in defeat. "Okay. Half an hour. And if we dont see you we will be destroying this place trying to find you."

Lark smiled. "Works for me."

The group seperated as Lark went Green Ninja hunting. Though, she had to admit it wasnt hard to find him. He was in the center of a circle, people were gushing over him and the poor guy was just not being left alone. Was it worth it? I frowned and slowly walked to the circle. It was so crowded. I didn't want to make a big deal.

I backed away slightly and watched as Lloyd tried to leave the circle of people. Now that I actually looked around... all the ninja were surrounded. I frowned slightly and looked up to the stage. I gulped and slowly walked over to the stage. I looked up at the mic and could feel myself shake.

I tightened my jaw and immediately looked away. No way in hell was I doing that. I slowly walked to the circle once more and tapped one of their shoulders.

"Could you please give him some space?" I asked. The person stared at my like I grew a seventh head and rolled his eyes. I sighed and began to walk to the back to join my friends. I could try again later.
