The Pink Sister

by A Huge Fangirl

What basically happens is (I'm taking this back to when the serpentine was a problem but after they have defeated the devourer) Cole gets a letter saying that a girl named Crystal has gone missing but it's turned out that the serpentine has taken her. I don't want to give away too much so you'll have to read this (I don't own Ninjago) (Rated T just in case I rate it wrong)

3. Chapter 3

Hey people. Hopefully you guys are enjoying the story. Here's the next chapter. Enjoy! :)

Chapter 3:

After the movie they all went to their rooms to get ready for bed.

"So how close are you and Cole?" Nya asked as Crystal walked out of the bathroom with her pjs on.

"Really close. Why?" Crystal asked back confused on why Nya asked that.

"Kai told me at one point of the movie, you 2 were throwing popcorn into each other's mouth." Nya explained

"Oh. We always do that, since we were little. Cole isn't just my brother, he's my best friend." Crystal explained with the biggest smile on her face.

"Wow. Not even me and Kai are that close." Nya said, impressed.

"There's just 1 thing I don't get. Crystal started as she sat down on her bed

"What?" Nya asked

"Why do people always think that we're dating instead of brother and sister?" Crystal asked, 100%ly confused.

"I think it's because you 2 look nothing alike and the way you 2 act, really close." Nya explained.

"Well I think people shouldn't be so judgemental. Siblings don't always look the same. I know plenty of siblings that don't look alike." Crystal explained with her arms folded.

Nya just laughed and said, "I'm glad you came along. It feels nice to not be the only girl on the ship."

"Yeah it's hard not having another girl around. Trust me, I know." Crystal laughed

"Why?" Nya ask curiously

"Well, when I was 7, after the boat crash, mum disappeared without a trace and that left me being the only girl in the household," Crystal explained, sadly but then she smiled and continued "but I didn't mind, I had Cole and dad and I had a few friends that were girls, but I mostly grew up around boys." Crystal giggled

"I'm so sorry." Nya said with some sinfonie for her and Cole losing their mother for she knew what it was like.

"It's ok, we managed." Crystal reassured

"How come Cole isn't as open as you are?" Nya asked realising how different the 2 are.

"I guess it's because, well, after mum disappeared, I think Cole felt like it was his duty to look after me when dad couldn't so he built up this emotional wall around himself to seem like a tough guy, only letting it fall to me, and…yeah, I think that's why." Crystal explained.

"I guess that makes sense, the same thing happened to Kai but not a strong." Nya said

"I'm sorry what happened to your parents." Crystal said

"It's all right. Kai looked after me well enough." Nya said "But our relationship isn't as strong as yours and Cole's, why's that?" Nya asked, wanting to find out more about her roommate

"Are you sure?" Crystal asked, Nya just nodded, "well, after mum disappeared and got my hydrophobia, our school at the time, liked to do lots of activities, like going for a swim in the nearby creek. I used to always be the 1st one in the water but since I had gotten hydrophobia and I didn't want to tell anyone about it, people were asking me why I wasn't going to go into the water. I just said I didn't feel like it. Sometime later, some kids were keeping Cole busy while some other kids, snuck behind me and pushed me into the water. I started to drown but the other kids thought it was just from the shock but the teachers and Cole knew I was drowning. They pulled me out of the water and only Cole could calm me down from my panic attack. The kids that pushed me in was in big trouble but that wasn't then end of it, the next day onwards, people started teasing me so Cole never left my side because everyone knew better to tease my while he was around. It happened all the way through primary school and a lot through high school and…yeah. That's how me and Cole got so close and how I realised who my real friends were." Crystal finished her story with some tears in her eyes, Nya hugged her but little did they know Wu was listening in and he got an idea but also little did they know that Cole could hear them for his bed was the closes to the wall that separated the boy's room and the girl's room and Lloyd could see that Cole had a some tears in his eyes from the horrible memories.

"You ok Cole?" Lloyd asked with some concern for is friend.

"Yeah I'm fine." Cole responded in his normal tone but not turning around, he was meant to tough one of the group, he couldn't let him be seen by the others with tears in his eyes.

The next morning at breakfast, the ninjas, Nya and Wu were eating breakfast and Crystal was looking more tired than usual.

"You had that dream again?" Cole asked in Spanish because he knew that if they others heard, they'll ask questions and Crystal doesn't like talking about it. Crystal nodded tiredly

"We'll work more on your powers today Crystal, ok?" Wu stated and Crystal just put her head on the table on the table and nodded

After breakfast, Wu and Crystal were in Wu's room

"Now, is there an event that had a big impact on your life?" Wu asked seeing if she was able to talk about it to him as she did to Nya

"Like what?" Crystal asked

"A bad one that doesn't involve a death." Wu answered putting it like that so he would get the answer he wanted.

"Why?" Crystal asked, confused, but Wu just sat there waiting for his answer. "No…" she answered not making any form of eye contact with Wu who just lifted an eyebrow and gave her a stern look. Crystal sighed and corrected herself "Yes but I don't like to talk about, only to certain people."

"What kind of people?" Wu asked

"I don't know. If there's a person I come a cross, I don't know what it is, I get this feeling and I tell them." Crystal explained

"It's your powers." Wu explained as Crystal looked at him confused as he continued, "your powers have always been unlocked but you just don't know how to use them. That feeling you get with telling people the story of the boat crash is your powers saying you can trust them." Wu explained then waiting for a response

"Oh...wait...did…did you say boat crash!" Crystal asked confused and freaked out "I didn't tell you it was a crash. How did you know?" crystal asked really wanting to know how. She got told by Cole that Wu knew a lot but Crystal was starting to think he knew everything, which Crystal says is impossible but maybe Wu was an exception

"I know because last night I heard you telling Nya." Wu said calmly as Crystal freaked internally, "the walls are really thin you know but only me and any one near the wall heard." Wu said to clam her down

"How do you know?" Crystal asked, how could he so sure

"I know the ninjas, if any of them heard, except for Cole of course for he knows, they would be asking questions and talking about it." Wu explained them he went to work on her powers.

"Now, go back to the crash." Wu talked as they both meditated, Wu talked Crystal through what to think then Crystal's chest started to glow, as soon as that happened, Crystal snapped out of her relaxed state, freaked out and when she did, the glow instantly stopped.

"What…was…that?" Crystal asked totally freaked out for nothing like that had happened before, that she knows of

Wu smiled and answered, "It means we're getting somewhere."

"What?" Crystal asked

"As you went back to the event, your powers shot out to protect you like they would've done at the event." Wu explained

"At the event?" Crystal questioned, she didn't remember that happening

"You said that you passed out?" Wu asked and Crystal nodded "It must of happened then, most probably getting rid of what had grabbed you and then you must've floated to the top of the water as you were light." Wu explained

Later that afternoon, Crystal went out to train with the other ninjas.

"How did it go?" Cole asked as his sister walked out to the deck

"Better than last time. We actually got somewhere." Crystal answered

"Nice!" Cole said as he gave Crystal a high-five

"We also answered a question about the crash." Crystal added in Spanish

"Which one?" Cole asked back also in Spanish

"How I got away from the…thing. Apparently, after I passed out, my powers might've shot out of my chest most probably getting rid of the thing and as I was light, floated to the top." Crystal explained in Spanish

"Wu heard you?" Cole asked in Spanish

"What do you mean?" Crystal asked in Spanish

"I heard you telling Nya last night." Cole explained in Spanish as he rubbed the back of his neck

"At least it was you and not anyone else." Crystal said in Spanish

"You 2 need to stop speaking in Spanish!" Jay exclaimed

Cole and Crystal laughed

"Why's that?" Crystal asked, teasing

"Because it's annoying not knowing what you guys are saying." Jay complained

Cole and Crystal laughed again

"Handy for when there are eavesdropping ninjas around." Cole said, looking Jay right in the eye

Everyone laughed.

After dinner the ninjas and Nya played video games.

"Hey Cole. Can you beat your sister at video games?" Zane asked

"Last time I versed her, she won." Cole explained as Crystal smiled

"How long ago was that?" Kai asked

"Since I became a ninja." Cole answered

"Wanna see if you can beat her now?" Lloyd asked, handing Cole controller

"Beat he can't." Crystal stated, playfully teasing her brother. She wanted to verse him and this was a way to make sure he took the controller

"Oh it is on!" Cole said to his sister. He knew what she was doing and he knew that Crystal knew and he knew what she was doing, but they did it anyway.

They played the same game that they played the other night. After a bit, the game ended with Crystal winning but it was a close call.

"You almost got me there, but…I still won!" Crystal playfully teased her brother

"Can one beat this girl?!" Jay asked loudly

"Nope." Cole answered "Yet." He added

"Is that so now?" Crystal asked lifting an eyebrow at her brother

"Yep, starting…now!" Cole said as he pushed play on the next game.

Nya laughed at their childness behaviour.

That night, the ninjas and Nya were getting ready for bed.

In the boys' room Kai asked Cole "So how are you and Crystal so close?"

"Why do you ask?" Cole asked back

"Not even me and Nya are that close, so, how are you 2 so close?" Kai asked again

"Just…she was getting bullied in school after something happened and so I never left her side because no one would bully her while I was around." Cole explained, being more proud at the last bit,

"What happened that got her bullied?" Zane asked

"Just something, ok." Cole answered sternly, he knew that Crystal didn't like people knowing about the event on why she got bullied.

"But why though?" Jay asked

"Look, Crystal doesn't like people knowing, ok, so I'm not telling!" Cole snapped

"Ok." Jay answered for everyone cos they knew when Cole got annoyed, he got annoyed and, as they recently found out, Cole, if it was about his sister, he gets really protective, which Kai could understand.

Little did they know that Lloyd was just sitting on his bed trying to figure out some new emotions, Crystal hasn't been there for long so he couldn't be sure so he just sat there trying to figure it out.

Also little did they know that, Cole had snapped so loud, the girls had heard it crystal clear.

"He got loud." Nya laughed

"Isn't that what he's usually like around here?" Crystal asked while still laughing. She wasn't 100% new around there but she was still learning about how things worked around there.

"Yes and no. Yes, he can be loud and cranky at times. No, it's not about another person, it's usually about food." Nya explained, chuckling at the last bit

"That's Cole for you. He loves food and I love sleep." Crystal chuckled

"What about your parents?" Nya asked

"You like asking questions." Crystal stated, Nya just shrugged and chuckled as Crystal started to answer, "Well dad is preforming and mum was sewing."

"Sewing what?" Nya asked

"Anything. She use to sew blankets, pillows, stuffed animals and we hardly ever buy clothes because mum would make them for us…mostly shirts for Cole." Crystal explained, laughing at the last bit.

"Why mostly shirts for Cole?" Nya asked, confused

"Cole used to HATE wearing shirts. He would take them off and hide them anywhere and everywhere and I mean everywhere!" Crystal laughed at the memories of Cole getting told to wear a shirt all the time.

"Where?" Nya asked, wanting to know more about her shipmate

"Where do I start?! He use to bury them in the backyard, throw them in the bin and when we moved to Ninjago, we had a tree house, he would hide them in there, even when we were packing to move to Ninjago from Spain, he purposely left his shirts out of the packing box. And when he couldn't find a spot to hide them, which was hardly ever, he would cut up his shirts before throwing them in the wash and so when they came out of the wash, they were all tattered and he would blame it on the washing machine." Crystal finished the story and the 2 busted out laughing when Cole knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Crystal called out, still laughing from the memories

"What's so funny?" Cole asked on behalf of the other ninjas

"I told Nya about how you use to hate wearing shirts and how you use to hide them everywhere and cut them up." Crystal laughed while Cole just looked down and laughed with them, but not as loud.

"What they were uncomfortable." Cole said trying to defend himself from Nya but not Crystal for he knew that there was no hope of doing that to his sister, "and they still are." Cole added in Spanish before he left leaving Crystal laughing so much that she was in tears.

It's a week since Crystal arrived and she was learning fast on to work and control her powers and more tips on fighting and Lloyd was still trying to figure out his feelings towards Crystal but they were becoming more clear and he knew it.

"So, how's it being a ninja?" Lloyd asked Crystal while they were taking a break from training.

"It's great, took a bit to get used to but great. I just wish I had a bit more time to work on my dancing though, because of training and working on my powers and being a heavy sleeper doesn't help." Crystal answered

"Yeah, I get what you're going through, except the dancing and being a heavy sleeper bit." Lloyd said

"So apparently, you're supposed to be a little kid, how's that?" Crystal questioned, remembering what Nya had told her when she was telling her about previous adventures they have had

"Yeah, well we were fighting something that my dad had brought back from extinction, which turned the others into little kids and to defect it and turn the others back to normal, I had a pot of tomorrows tea that I needed to break but when I did it turned me older." Lloyd explained.

Crystal was just about to ask something when Cole walked by and said in Spanish "No did not try and ditch my shirt." then he walked off leaving Crystal laughing a bit,

"So did you say your 'dad had brought back from extinction'?" Crystal asked, wanting to make sure she heard him correctly

"Yeah. You know Lord Garmadon?" Lloyd started and Crystal nodded, "Yeah, he's actually my dad." Lloyd explained

"He's your dad? Nya never said anything about that." Crystal said in shock

"Yeah, well he wasn't always evil. That was the work of the devourer." Lloyd explained sadly

"You must miss him." Crystal said sensing his sadness with her powers

"Yeah, sometimes more than others cos I'm not really allowed to see him." Lloyd explained again sadly

"Yeah Nya told me. Because of the great fight thing." Crystal said, Lloyd nodded then she looked him in the eyes, "Hey. I'm sure it'll turn out great in the end. Ok." Crystal said as she tried to cheer up her friend. Lloyd smiled at her and then they went back to training.

Late that night, Crystal sat up in her bed, startled. She laid in bed for a bit, trying to get back to sleep but in the end she thought some fresh air could help her out. She walked out to the deck, to the edge and looked up at the stars and thought about the nightmare she had, again. She stood there for a bit when she heard footsteps, she turned around to see Lloyd walking on the deck.

"Did I startle you?" Lloyd asked, seeing on how fast she turned around

"No. Did I wake you?" Crystal asked back at him.

"No. Just couldn't sleep." Lloyd explained

"Same. What's your reason?" Crystal asked so there wouldn't be an awkward silence

"Had this weird dream about dad." Lloyd answered with a confused face "You?" Lloyd asked

"Same, but I keep on having the same dream." Crystal explained

"What about?" Lloyd asked curiously

"About an incident that almost killed me and of my mother." Crystal explained

"What incident?" Lloyd asked, really wanting to know since she mentioned that it almost killed her.

Crystal paused, not wanting to tell, but then she got a strong feeling about him so she took a deep breath and said "You aren't allowed to tell anyone. Ok?"

Lloyd nodded. Crystal took another deep breath and told him the story of the boat crash and how she got hydrophobia and how she and Cole got really close and again she had tears in her eyes.

"Wow. That's pretty heavy." Lloyd said, struggling to find the words for he didn't know what to say, "Is that what Cole was upset about the other night?" Lloyd asked, remembering how his friend was laying on his bed with tears in his eyes.

"Yeah. It impacted both of our lives so much. With me having hydrophobia and Cole being more protective of me." Crystal said as she once again looked back up to the stars and Lloyd got a glimpse of the bright blue eyes glittering with tears from horrible memories. Lloyd didn't want her to cry so he told her so funny stories from before he was a ninja and some about some of the funny moments that happened like when Kai got sprayed with venom that made him see funny things like elves and gingerbread men, as Lloyd told the stories, he tried to tell the ones with Cole for they were the ones that made her smile more. Soon Crystal's tears were gone and she had the biggest smile which Lloyd thought was beautiful. Soon they went to bed for it was late with Lloyd felling more certain on his feelings for Crystal but he was unsure about one thing though, how would Cole feel about Lloyd having feelings for Crystal?

The next morning, after Cole woke Crystal up (he found a new technic to wake her up instead of pouring ice down her but he wouldn't share it with the others and he still did the ice way sometimes is he felt like he needed to or wanted to because, brothers.), Crystal felt sluggish because of the dream.

"Had the dream again?" Cole asked in Spanish and Crystal just nodded as Cole added in Spanish, "We really need to figure out what's the deal with that dream. If you keep on having it, it must mean something. Right?" Crystal shrugged as Cole continued, in Spanish, "Why don't you talk to Sensei about it? I'm sure he would know."

Crystal looked at her brother, taking what he said into consideration. Maybe he's right.

After breakfast, Crystal and Wu went to work more on Crystal's powers for there was heaps to know about her powers.

"Um…Sensei. Can I ask you something?" Crystal asked after a bit of working on her powers

"What is it Crystal?" Wu asked back

"It's about this dream I keep on having." Crystal started as Wu sat there listening, "You see...um…it starts out the same way as it did on the day of the boat crash, all the way to the part when we hit the rock, then it starts getting weird. It goes more dramatic than it was and a tentacle comes out of the water and grabs me where the…thing grabbed me and pulls me under and that's where things get really weird. My mum's voice plays all around saying all types of things from 'I love you' to her telling Cole off to her just laughing but in the dream, it's not put a sweet as mum was, it's put all creepy and ghost like to a point to where mum is saying 'I'm here, come and find me' and after that line always, I wake up." Crystal finished, freaked out.

"Did your mother ever say that last line?' Wu asked

"Yeah, whenever we played hide-and-seek. I had trouble counting at the time so mum would help out by, when she, Cole and dad, if he was playing, had hid, she would say that as a signal to go find them." Crystal explained

"When did you 1st start having this dream?" Wu asked

"After mum disappeared." Crystal answered as Wu just nodded, "Why? What does it mean?" Crystal asked, wanting to get some answered.

"I can't be too sure yet so I won't say just in case I'm wrong but I have a hunch. Wu explained and Crystal understood 100%ly.

Later that afternoon, all the ninjas were training when Cole asked Crystal in Spanish,

"Did you ask Sensei about the dream?" as Crystal nodded as Cole asked in Spanish, "What did he say?"

"He said that he didn't want to say encase he's wrong." Crystal responded in Spanish.

"Why do you 2 always speak in Spanish?" Jay blurted out, annoyed

"Because we're plotting our plan to take over the world starting with you." Crystal joked

"Sis, you're giving it away!" Cole joined in and when they saw Jay's face, everyone couldn't stop laughing.

"For real though, what do you 2 talk about?" Kai asked and he tried to recover from laughing

"Stuff." Cole answered as he started training back up for Crystal and himself.
