A/N: Hello! So, time to torture Cole some more…

Cole: Wait, what?

Me: What are you doing here!? Get out! I need to write the fact you're failing Flight Aviation!

Cole: I'm failing a class?!

Kai: Wow… you must not be very bright. From what I remember that class was easy. All we did was discussed how to tell the different dragons apart, and how to tell the gender since they take great offense if you mix that up.

Me: Kai? You two? Are all the ninjas here?

Zane: I am afraid Lloyd and Nya are not here. Also, why is Jay's mouth taped shut?

Jay: Hmmhmmhmhmhmhmhm!

Me: Knew he was being too quiet. Eh. He can stay that way for awhile. That, and Cole is TERRIFIED of dragons. Everyone out so that I can torture him some more.

Cole: Can you stop saying 'torture'. It's getting on my nerves.

Me: *pretends to think about it* Nope. You're gonna get tortured.

Cole: Zane! Protect me!

*I smile evilly at Zane, who then gulps in fear.* Zane: I am afraid you're on your own Cole.

Cole: Kai?

Kai: I want to see where this goes.

Cole: Traitor. Jay? A little help please?

Jay: Hmhmhmhmhm!

Me: Sorry Cole. You're on your own this time. Also, out! *throws the ninja out the window*

Phew. Sorry about that. Not entirely sure what the ninja were up to. Anyways! *thinks of hyper, super talkative bunnies* Uh… ok then. *clears throat* I do not own Ninjago in any way, shape or form. But I do own my OCs! Also, the school motto is something I've heard somewhere…but I can't remember where exactly. It also is VERY important!

Chapter Two: The First Weekend

Cole slowly blinked his eyes open, surprised to realize that for once he felt well rested. Stretching, Cole glanced at his watch for the time…and almost fainted in horror. It was eight thirty a.m. He had slept in by four hours. Panicked, he leapt out of bed, only to bang his head on the bottom of the top bunk. The loud thud that was a result of his head hitting the bed ended up waking up all of his roommates. Including the kid.

"Cole! Are you alright?" Zane looked over at Cole, concern flashing through his icy blue eyes.

"I'm a fine." Cole muttered as he rubbed the top of his head, wincing at the bump that had already formed.

"Umm, guys? I think we slept in. It's way too light outside for it to be five thirty." Kai leaned across the edge of his bed, unfazed that it was the top bunk, and what he was doing was highly dangerous.

Panic promptly erupted as they tripped over themselves trying to get ready for the day. Lloyd stared in surprise at them, his mouth hanging open in a small 'o'. Tripping over Jay's school bag, Cole looked over at the only none high schooler in the entire school. Just has Lloyd decided that the scene was funny and started giggling like mad.

"What's so funny, Kid?" Cole grumbled as he reached for his shoe that somehow ended up underneath the kid's bed.

"You're acting as if you have to be somewhere or something." Lloyd giggled as he clapped a hand over his mouth to stifle the giggles.

"We have school. Which started four hours ago." Jay announced, as he grabbed his bag from underneath Cole, sending him toppling.

"No, it didn't."

"Yes, it did!" Kai exclaimed, annoyed that the kid seemed to think they didn't have school.

"No, it didn't. It's Saturday. No school today or tomorrow. Time to do your homework, clean the dorms. Laundry. You name it." Lloyd rolled his eyes at them. "Also, you can play video games!" He got really excited about that part.

Cole stopped fighting his shoe to stare at the kid. Make that, they all stopped what they were doing to stare at him. Lloyd sniggered again, noticing the various states that they were all in. Zane was wearing his shirt backwards, and had one sock on, and the other dangling in his hands. Jay was in the process of brushing his teeth, and actually had toothpaste dribbling down. Kai was frozen in place, with a bottle of hair gel turned upside down above his head, a comb posed to spike his hair. Cole was mostly put together; he just had to get his shoes on…and was trying to put his left shoe on his right foot. After slowly blinking at him for a few seconds, they went back to getting ready for the day. This time without the chaos. Cole and Zane quickly caught their mistakes and fixed them. Awkwardly, they headed out to the study that they shared with Nya that was part of their dorm. Nya was already up and dressed and had five plates of scrambled eggs and toast sitting out on the table. There were also five glasses of orange juice. Nya was reading a romance novel, her feet tucked under her legs.

"Misako had me bring you guys' breakfast down for you. Eat up." Nya gestured vaguely to the plates.

Mumbling their thanks, the boys fell upon the plates, devouring everything on the plates. Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, Kai looked up at Nya.

"So…do you have any plans for today?" Kai reached for his glass of orange juice.

"Sure… email Mom and Dad, like we promised them that we will do." Nya looked up from her book, eyebrow arching up slightly.

"Ok… um. I did all my homework yesterday cause I forgot today was Saturday." Kai gulped the juice down within seconds.

"What about your room? I highly doubt it's clean. And Lord Garmadon did announce that they will be doing a room inspection sometime today." Nya sat her book down to the side, not really liking how the main female character needed help all the time.

"According to my calculations, it should take all of us about five minutes to clean the room. If no one gets distracted." Zane gave Jay a good hard, extremely pointed, look.

"Ok, I get it. No distractions. Consider it done." Jay held his buttery hands up in surrender.

Lloyd snorted as he downed his glass, watching the teens talk with each other. He still had a hard time believing that before this school year started, only Nya and Kai knew each other. They all were complete strangers.

"What should we do after we clean our room though?" Cole pointed out the fact that they still had an entire day ahead of them, with nothing planned to do.

Silence fell as they chewed on their breakfast and thoughts, trying to figure out something that they could do. "Cole's grade." All heads snapped up as they turned to stare at Nya.

"What do you mean my grade?" Cole asked nervously, wondering why Nya would say that. He was doing as well as the others. By that, he was barely passing at the moment.

"Your Flight Aviation grade. At the moment, you have an F. Since you keep fainting every time you go anywhere near the dragons." Nya pointed out, stretching her legs out to keep them from cramping.

"Then it is decided. After we clean our room, we see if we can't help Cole get over his fear of dragons." Zane stretched as he stood up, having already finished eating.

Cole immediately groaned. "Do you guys want to torture me or something?"

"Wait…can we go to the dragon pens when we don't have a class?" Kai questioned.

"Sure you can. You just have to ask Uncle first." Lloyd bounced in his seat, excited to be of some help.

"Really? Is he Lord Garmadon?" Jay asked, curiosity about the relationship between the teacher and kid quickly surfacing.

"No. He's my dad. My uncle is the principle." Lloyd wiggled in his seat.

"Ah yes. I recall that you were always running off during school hours while growing up to be with your father down by the pens." Zane nodded in agreement, reminding everyone there that he was raised in the school too.

"Well, do you know where Sensei Wu is?" Jay asked as he stands up from the table.

"Should be in his study. Course Mom calls it his tea room." Lloyd wrinkled his nose.

"Why does she call it that?" Kai asked even as Cole once again spoke up against this idea. "Do you guys seriously hear yourselves? We're talking dragons here! Snap out of it! This is torture you're talking about!"

"Uncle really likes his tea." Lloyd headed to the door that lead out to the hallway.

"Is anyone listening to me?" Cole slumped down a little, watching the others follow the kid.

Jay stopped to turn around and look at him. "No. If we did, you will just fail the class. Intervention time!" He punched the air before following the others out.

Cole rubbed his forehead and seriously wished that Sensei WU wouldn't agree to it.

"I still can't believe he agreed to this!" Cole exclaimed for the fifteenth time as he followed his friends down to the dragon pens.

"So we've heard. Can't you think of something else to complain about?" Kai rolled his eyes at Cole.

Cole glared at the stubborn boy, before turning his attention back to the kid. Lloyd insisted on coming with them, despite the fact he probably thought what they were doing boring. Scrambling over a boulder, Lloyd jumped down in front of Cole.

"Why are you scared of dragons? Did you have a bad experience with one when you were younger?" Lloyd appeared to have switched places with Jay…and Cole wants them to switch back.

"Doesn't matter, and no. All living dragons are kept here in the school. They're an endangered species." Cole looked up at the sky, wishing he could just explain things to the kid in a way that his mind would understand.

"Oh…yeah! I bet you'll like Rocky! He's real nice…and the strongest!" Lloyd bounced as he ran up ahead again.

"Rocky? That's the one that acts all concerned whenever a certain someone faints, isn't it?" Jay suddenly decided to open his mouth. Jay beamed with excitement when Lloyd nodded his head a confirmation.

Cole wasn't sure what to think about the whole dragon concerned for his health thing.

"Perchance we should try to keep Cole's mind off of the dragons by talking about whatever pops into our minds?" Zane suggested, looking back at Cole's pale face.

"Sounds good to me." Cole whispered, his eyes darting to the gate to the pens, which was now in sight.

"I've always wondered why the school motto can only be found above a broken drinking fountain." Lloyd sprinted back up the path to rejoin them.

"Uh…you're right. When does the fountain get fixed anyways?" Jay blinked, surprise flashing across his face.

"It's not gonna get fix. It's been like that since the school was founded. Back when it was the Monastery for the Elemental Masters. At least that was what Mom told me." Lloyd tilted his head back, confusion flashing across his face.

"So…someone thought it would be a good idea to write 'Thirst after Knowledge', above a broken fountain?" Cole questioned the logic of doing this.

"I know right? Dad says the First Spinjitzu Master was the one to put it there." Lloyd scooted closer to Cole, his arms wrapped tightly around Cole's waist.

"Congratulations Cole. You're about ten feet in the air." Kai suddenly swooped down in front of Cole, Nya sitting behind him on the bright red dragon.

"How…which dragon am I on?" Cole looked down to see that it was the brown dragon from his disastrous first lesson.

"That one is Rocky. This fellow we're on his Flames." Kai petted the dragon on top of his head.

"This is Shards." Zane appeared next to Cole riding the white dragon.

"And I've got Whisp!" Jay cheered as he flew up and above them.

Cole blinked as he looked out at the vast sky, and the vastness of the mountain range below. "Why was I scared of you guys? This…is…amazing!" Cole threw his hands in the air has he laughed.

"I'm still wondering about the broken fountain." Jay butted in.

They all laughed, not really caring about the broken fountain at the moment. Not when they were flying.

~Line Break… No one's POV, same time as above~

The room was dark and dusty from being abandoned many centuries ago. Water dripped unforgivingly from the ceiling to the floor. The single desk sitting in the middle of the room was rotten from old age and water exposure. Six wispy figures where gathered around the table staring at the flickering light in a glass orb. There were several scrolls cluttering a worn out, completely rotten shelf. A rat squeaked nearby as it scurried through, disturbing the dust for a second. The darkest of the ghosts turned to stare in the direction of the rat, before turning its attention back to the orb.

"It is them. I can feel it in my old bones." The ghost that appeared to be an ocean blue color announced.

"You don't have any bones Water. We're just spiritia." The other blue one, this time electric blue, spoke up.

"Oh, hush you Lightning. We've been through this before. I can say I have bones if I want to." Water scolded her friend, floating just above him.

It was obvious by Water's voice that she was female, while Lightning was a male. The other three spiritia shifted slightly, watching the interaction between the two curiously. They seemed to be getting over their pathetic feud, though they could be wrong.

"Can they read anything written in our language?" The green ghost asked, his deep voice making his gender very obvious.

"They are talking about the message that your first Chosen left for the descendants of the chosen ones. But, they won't be able to find anything written in our language unless they come down here." The black ghost spoke with authority. "Does that make sense to you Energy? Or do you need help remembering?"

"Hey…if I'm old, then imagine how old you are. You're even older than me, Earth!" Energy defended himself, glaring at the other one.

The red ghost shook his head, chuckling a bit at the rivalry that was being brought up. They were old and powerful, but they will always be siblings first and far most. The white ghost looked to him funny like, before turning to face the others.

"May I make a suggestion?" Everyone turned to him, his voice holding a deeper wisdom than the others suggesting he was the oldest. "They have a library in the school. We slip in there while everyone is asleep and drop off one of our scrolls. If they can read it, we know it's them. If not, we make the scrolls disappear before anyone else finds them."

"Ice…sometimes I wonder how we're related. That is pure brilliance! And I know just the scroll too." Earth floated over to the scrolls, pulling a particular one out of the pile.

Gasps escaped them as they realized what it contained. After looking at each other for a minute, the red ghost cleared his throat.

"Look, maybe we should talk some more tomorrow. Make sure we want to go through with this, especially if memory serves correctly, if it really is them, then they will find their way here without our aide."

Silence fell as the others contemplated what he said. Finally, Energy spoke up. "You're right, Fire. We are getting carried away here. We need to save our energy in case it is them."

All eyes latched onto the orb again, which was showing the five freshman and one kid flying around on the dragons.

~Back to the School, three hour time skip~

Cole chuckled to himself as he rubbed Rocky on the snout, the others doing the same with their burrowed dragons.

"Looks like I can expect you to stay in my class come Monday." Lord Garmadon suddenly materialized out of thin air behind Cole.

Cole jumped before looking back at the teacher. A wan smile crossed his face. "Yeah. You can count on that."

"Dad! I went flying today!" Lloyd rushed at Lord Garmadon, throwing his arms around the older man.

A/N: See? That wasn't so bad now…by the way? Can anyone tell me anything about what those spiritia thingies were talking about? No? Wonderful. I think I have an inkling of an idea…we'll just have to wait and see then. Wouldn't mind knowing why they're spying on Cole and the others…or talking about them. Ah well. Later.

Can we just say right now that Lloyd is ADORABLE?! I just loved writing about his little interactions with the others in this chapter. Right, I have to go now…

Bye!
