So… I got addicted to butterflies (thanks to Encanto-)

I do not own Ninjago

Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly.

What a special creature you are!

You're very beautiful, I can't deny.

Very, very bizarre.

Jay's POV

The more I thought about the good old memories, the heavier my eyes get.

It wasn't long until I finally chose to give in to sleep.

Cole is probably asleep by now, hearing his light snores. Or were those Morro's? Wait, does he even need sleep?

I just shook those thoughts away. I just wanna sleep right now.

I deserve some—no, lots of it, after everything…

Still Jay's POV

I was awakened by the feeling of sunlight on my skin.

I blinked owlishly while looking at my surroundings.

What happened? Why am I here? Wait a sec— Oh yeah… I suddenly transformed into my Oni form. Why do I even have that, like seriously? I'm just a QUARTER Oni!

I looked at my hands, expecting the same grey with white tattoos(?) that I saw yesterday. But luckily, I was greeted with my porcelain skin.

I guess I transformed back while I was sleeping.

When I looked up from my body, I saw 3 colorful butterflies flapping around us.

One was half orange and half yellow. The other is green with bits of teal. And the last one was blue fading to cyan.

For biased reasons, the blue one is the prettiest of them all.

Though I also feel oddly connected to it, I don't know why or how. I just feel it.

My train of thought was cut off when I heard someone shifting. Man, Oni senses are something to get used to.

I then heard a yawn, followed by another one.

Is it just me or is everything loud all of the sudden?

"G' morning," Morro croaked.

Morro's POV

Why are we here again? Oh right, the Oni Jay situation.

"And here I thought Cole will wake up before you," Jay commented.

I looked at him, he was back to normal. That's good.

I looked to my right and saw Cole sleeping like a log.

"Oi, Cole, wake up," I said as I shook him.

Cole grumbled, then shifted his position, "Sólo cinco minutos más."

(Just five more minutes)

What in the name of FSM did he just say?! Does he even realize that he's not in his room?!

It seems like Jay noticed my reaction to that and said, "He said 'Just five more minutes'."

Wait— When did Jay learn how to speak Spanish— That doesn't matter, the others are gonna be even more worried if we don't come back yet.

"Cole, wake up, dude," I shooked him even harder.

"You do realize by now that he's a deep sleeper, right?" Jay asked.

"Can't you just shock him awake?"

"No can do, you already said so yourself that he's a living, breathing conductor."

"AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!"

"Okay, Cole, I think you've ticked him off too much already," Jay spoke up.

Hold up, he was awake? THE WHOLE TIME!

I peeked at Cole again. He had a small smile on his lips.

That frickin' rock-head is so dead.

How the heck did they even plan this?!

Just as if Jay could read my mind, again, he said, "We didn't plan this. He was just giving off obvious points that he's awake."

The soon-to-be doomed rock-head then shifted closer to Jay, "Have I ever told you we're my best friend?"

"Plenty of times, Rocky," Jay smiled. "Plenty of times."

So… y'all familiar with the calm before the storm in stories? This is it.

Anyways, thanks for reading
