A/n: Hi! I'm here with another chapter of Our Little Past! Thanks to The Titan's Shadow for your review! I'm posting this a few hours earlier today so I don't mess it up this time. Anyway, here it is!

"Brother!" Echo exclaimed as he stood up from the table. Echo and Zane ran and hugged each other, happiness in their eyes.

But what they didn't know was that PIXAL had met Echo before, and things were about to get complicated.

"Um…Let's give them a minute." Code whispered to PIXAL. The female android nodded, and Code walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

"What's all this?" Zane asked, looking at his brother's pink dress and blonde wig.

"Oh, the others wanted to have a tea party and, since I was small, I couldn't stop them." Echo explained, "Thank you for coming."

"Of course." Zane said, "Although, I still do not understand how you became small, too. You were never exposed to dark matter, of any sorts, were you?"

"No, but I do sense the presence of golden power in my system." Echo said simply.

"Hmm. When Code created that explosion, it must've hit more of Ninjago than we thought." Zane said, thinking out loud, "I didn't know she was capable of shrinking anyone. And why didn't it affect anyone else?"

"Maybe it only affected droids. It was just you and I, right?" Echo inquired.

"You're right!" Zane said.

"How will we get back to normal?" Echo asked.

"I don't know yet, but until we find out, you can stay with us." Zane told him.

"Really?" Echo asked, "Thank you, brother!"

He pulled Zane into another hug, joy overwhelming him. It felt good. He hadn't been this happy in a long time.

Come to think of it, when was the last time he'd felt such joy? He had a flashback.

-FLASHBACK-

It was just like any other evening in the lighthouse. Echo was playing chess, when he heard gun shots outside. He ran to the window, where outside, he could see skeletons on bikes. They were returning to see about Dr. Julien's progress on their vehicles. Echo felt sad at this. His father was gone. He'd abandoned him years ago.

The skeletons banged on the door, but it was too late for him to hide. They had already broken it down. Echo ran up the stairs, the skeletons hot on his heels. After he got to the top, he realized how many problems this plan had. The skeletons had now cornered him. They were quickly advancing on him, weapons raised. Echo tried his best to fight, but his right arm fell to the floor. Then he landed on his back. The skeletons were getting closer, and Echo knew that this was the end.

But then he heard something; the roar of an engine. Suddenly, a blue, gold, and white car with the letters "VXL" written on it smashed through the roof, crushing several of the skeletons in front of Echo. Just before the car drove down the stairs, a stranger in a white, gold, and blue suit with a matching helmet jumped out. Based on the helmet's style, Echo could tell the stranger was a Samurai. The small letters "SX" were printed on the back of the helmet. Echo guessed this stood for Samurai X, or something along those lines. The car raced down the stairs, crushing every skeleton in sight.

The stranger stood between Echo and some of the skeletons, drawing their sword. Echo watched as the stranger fought and beat every skeleton in sight, making it look easy. As if they did it every day. Echo realized that this was probably because they did do it every day. After getting rid of every skeleton in the lighthouse, the stranger put their sword away.

They walked over to Echo, and helped him up. They then handed him his right arm. He took it, and placed it back into its socket. His gaze never lifted from the stranger. He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Just then, one skeleton stood up, and ran to the stranger. However, the stranger was prepared for this. They grabbed the skeleton's right arm, flipped him upside down, and threw him to the wall with ease. However, just before, the skeleton managed to grab the stranger's helmet, pulling it off and revealing their true identity.

She was a girl. And, like Echo, she was a robot. With white skin that had purple wires and designs on it, and silver, metallic hair. And her glowing green eyes seemed to sparkle in the moonlight. To Echo, she was the most beautiful person in the world. His heart was pounding out of his chest. He'd never felt this happy. Was he…In love? With someone he just met? No, it couldn't be. Robots couldn't love, could they? And they especially couldn't experience love at first sight, right? He decided to try and talk to her.

"Who are you?" he asked, in awe. The girl smiled, and picked up her helmet. She pressed a button, and it retracted into a small, circular device. Then she walked to the window. Echo realized what she was doing.

"Wait!" He called, but it was too late. The girl had already jumped out. Horrified, Echo ran to the window. Just before she hit the ground, the car from earlier caught the her. Echo was relived she was safe. He watched as she drove towards the water. Upon hitting the water, the car transformed into a boat. (A/n I know this never happened in the show, but I think it would be cool if the VXL could transform into a boat and/or a plane.)

As Echo watched the boat drive away, he hoped he'd see the girl again. But, sadly, he never did. He never even knew her name. Yet, having fallen in love for the first and only time in his life, Echo's joy could not be measured.

-END FLASHBACK-

"Code?" PIXAL asked, looking up at her sister. They were sitting on the floor near the stairs, looking out the window across from them.

"Yes?" Code answered, not looking away.

"I believe I have met this…Echo, before." PIXAL told her.

Code froze, and turned to look at her. She had such a look of shear surprise on her face, PIXAL thought she might pass out.

"SERIOUSLY?!" Code practically yelled, but realized Zane and Echo could probably hear her. "When?" She whispered.

"On a Samurai mission, when I was first beginning." PIXAL answered.

Code grew so pale; she could've passed for a sheet of paper. Her eyes were practically popping out of her head, and PIXAL could tell that her anxiety levels were rising. Code took a deep; long breathe in, as if preparing for a long, dramatic scream.

PIXAL braced herself, covering her ears. Code continued to breathe in, until she finally spoke.

"Cool." She said, uninterested.

PIXAL mentally face palmed, but stopped herself from saying anything mean to her sister.

"I had read on one of my scanners that the Skeletons were here, and came to help." She said, earning a nod from Code, "I saved him, however, there was a small…issue."

"Oh?" Code said, looking back out the window, "What was that?"

"He was the first to discover my identity." PIXAL told her.

"Wait, seriously?!" Code asked, once again surprised.

"Yes. And, if this 'Meet and greet' goes the way I think, we are in for a few problems." PIXAL said.

"Echo, this is Code." Zane was later introducing the girls to his brother.

"Hello!" Echo shouted up to her.

"Um, I appreciate that you're making an effort to be heard, but you can just talk normally." Code said.

"All right." Echo answered.

"And this is PIXAL." Zane said, standing next to the female android, "She was also shrunk by the explosion."

Echo's eyes widened.

"Wait, I know you!" He exclaimed, "You saved my life!"

"You did?" Zane asked, turning to PIXAL. She just nodded, refusing to make eye contact.

"Now that we've got Echo, we should head back to the city." Code said, trying to change the subject.

"Indeed. PIXAL, you know someone who can help us, correct?" Zane asked.

"Yes." PIXAL said shortly.
