Hannah lay in her bed staring at the ceiling; she had been at home for almost an hour, with nothing to do. It had seemed like forever since the cake shop, and she still couldn't get Lloyd out of her head. She remembered him perfectly.
Her phone buzzed across the room. Hannah sighed, got up, and picked up her phone. It had been a text from Allie, her best friend.
She walked across her bedroom floor, reading the text.
Get over here, fast. I don't think I can handle this kid much longer! Allie
Hannah laughed; her family had recently given her the option of babysitting for some extra money. Allie had accepted and Hannah had recommended her to some people. She didn't know the name of the kid, but they sounded like a handful.
Be there soon Hannah
Hannah grabbed her jacket and crutches and went down the stairs, grabbed the car keys, and limped out to the car. Maybe spending some time helping Allie babysit would take her mind off of Lloyd.
Hannah backed out of the driveway and drove her way to Allie's house. When she had arrived, she parked in the driveway and opened the door. She limped in to find a young boy, maybe seven or eight, pulling at Allie's hair, and Allie yelling at him to let go.
I slammed the door and they both looked up. The boy quickly let go of Allie's hair and rushed over to the couch. Allie waved as I sat down on the couch.
"Okay, now I was trying to get this monster, Alex, to just Sit Still for One second!" Allie raised her voice "I was trying to finish some homework, while he finished his, but he won't!"
Hannah rolled her eyes and set her phone and wallet on the table in front of her.
"Homework." she said to Alex, holding out her hand
He quickly got up and grabbed his homework, brought it back to her, and set it in her hand. Hannah flipped through the pages, looking through the many assignments.
"You do these," Hannah set, setting a few papers down on the table "Now, and then we can go eat something, your choice. Then when we come home, you finish the rest. Got it?"
Alex quickly nodded and grabbed the stack of papers. Picking up his pencil, he started writing things down.
Allie stared at me in shock "How did you do that? I've been trying to get him to do his for the longest time!"
Hannah shrugged and leaned back on the couch, carefully moving her leg. Allie looked back down at her, almost done, homework, and slammed down her pencil.
"I've done too much, my head hurts." She complained
Hannah rolled her eyes and sank farther into the couch and looked up at the circling fan, letting thoughts run through her head… and then she thought of something interesting.
"Huh…" Hannah said opening her phone and leaving forward on the couch
"What?" Allie mumbled
"Huh!" Hannah repeated
"What?" Allie looked up from the homework she was staring at angrily
"I had an idea…" Hannah trailed off, Allie gave her a 'well?' look and she continued "Well I met this guy at that cake shop, and he was really nice, and sweet and-"
"Hot?" Allie interrupted
Hannah blushed "Not hot, but fair."
"And this idea?" Allie asked, with a puzzled look on her face
"I thought of trying to find him, on instagram, or twitter or something!" Hannah opened instagram
Allie moved closer to Hannah and looked at her phone
"Name?" she asked
"Lloyd," Hannah said softly "his name was Lloyd."
Allie took the phone from Hannah's hands and swiped to the search page
"Well first we type Lloyd, and see if there's a profile picture that matches his face… there a last name that goes with that?" She looked at Hannah, who shook her head
Allie pressed search and looked through the profiles, Hannah took the phone and looked at the profiles and the pictures, but nothing. It took her thirty minutes, and by the end of it she was just frustrated.
Hannah leaned back into the couch and sighed, loudly.
"Nothing!" she sighed "I can't find him, I guess I never will."
Allie set down her pencil and looked over at Alex, who was on the last paper.
"Maybe you will eventually." Allie said
They sat in silence for a minute, until Alex set down his pencil.
"Done!" he smiled "Can we go eat now?"
Hannah nodded, stood up, and grabbed her wallet. Leaning on the couch to support herself. She hopped over to her crutches and limped her way to the front door, Allie and Alex following behind her.
She started the car, with Allie in the passenger seat next to her and Alex in the seat behind her. She started the engine and turned down the radio.
"Where to?" She asked Alex
"Chen's Noodles!" Alex cheered
Hannah nodded and started the car; Chen's was a regular stop on the way home from school. She and Allie would often get dinner, and go watch a movie at her house.
Hannah took the familiar route and soon they were parked in the parking lot of Mr. Chen's Noodle House. They walked inside and the girl, Skyler, working as cashier waved at me.
"Hey Hannah, Allie, who's this? A younger brother?" Skylor asked
"No, I'm babysitting him, she's helping me." Allie pointed at me
"Ah, that makes sense, well what would you like?" Skylor asked
We ordered our usual, Moo Shu Wu Shu, The Three Ingredient Sizzling Rice, and of course a side of the Puffy Potstickers. Alex ordered the Egg Roll and Fried Rice.
They made their way to their seats and waited for the conveyer to bring them their food. It only took about five minutes, and soon they were eating happily and silently.
While they were eating a group of five boys walked in, each in a different color hoodie. The boys walked over to Skylor, exchanging a few words then walked over to the booth across from the girls and Alex. Hannah had happened to glance over when she saw him.
She panicked and slid under the table, quite loudly, and everyone looked at Allie, who blushed and looked down at her food.
"Hannah," she said through gritted teeth "What are you doing? People are staring."
"It's him!" She hissed
Allie looked over to the group of guys and then looked at Hannah
"Lloyd?" she whispered
Hannah nodded and Allie pulled her back up, she rolled her eyes as Alex gave them the funniest look.
"Girls." He muttered, disgusted
Hannah gave him a blank look and Alex returned to his rice. Allie looked over to the boys and then nudged Hannah, who swatted her off until she finally gave in.
"What?!" She whispered
"He's looking at you," Allie whispered "smile!"
Hannah looked over at the boys, Lloyd was already looking at her, he smiled at her and winked, Hannah's stomach felt full of butterflies. He motioned with his head out the door and Hannah nodded.
"I'll be right back." Hannah said, getting up and limping out the door. Lloyd followed her out.
Allie, Alex, and the boys in the booth watched them go out. The groups looked at each other, shrugged, and went back to their food. Not caring enough to see what their friend was doing.
Carson: So the character Allie is also an OC from Kat's story, highly reccomend you go read that! If you haven't read it yet, not a big deal, but you should go read it to get a bigger picture on Hannah and Allie, it isn't a soulmate au though, it's the normal life of the characters in Ninjago!
Jay: Wait, we're characters?
Kai: I did not sign up for this!
Carson: Too Bad! Anyway, if you guys have any questions about the story or the characters-

Carson: IN GENERAL then please ask, I'll answer them to the best of my abilities. Now, we have ONE QUESTION! YAY!
*The group stands there silently and looks away*
Carson: Ah, come on! Well, this question is from CHEESEPUFF! Who asks:
Yay
Happy Ending
But I'm confused, when is this set, how old is Lloyd?
Good question, it does get confusing since the whole potion incident!
Hannah: whAT?!
Lloyd: I'll tell you later
Carson: ANYWAY, Lloyd would be about seventeen right now, the same ages as the ninja, this takes place after season four, the only changes are that Zane isn't the titanium ninja, Pythor is still evil (and not tiny), and Garmadon is... yeah (spoilers, won't reveal too much!), hope this helps a little!
I'll have the ninja, Hannah, and Allie do the goodbye's this time!
The Ninja: R&R!
Hannah and Allie: Ask us some questions!
The Group: Until next time!
