Hey y'alls! GOOD NEWS! I'm back to regular updates so...yeah. ENJOY!
Chapter 13:
It had been a couple of months and Crystal was getting back to her old self. She's now eating plenty of food, sleeping the correct hours of sleep and got back on top of her training. Her cuts were now noting but scars, she gained some weight and she refused to return Cole's hoodie to his room and wore it when ever she wasn't training or on a mission.
Crystal was hanging out in the games room with the other ninjas and Skylor was visiting as well,
"You've grown quite an attachment to that hoodie, haven't you?" Skylor commented,
"It helps me feel like Cole is still around." Crystal explained,
"Crystal, you've played this game before right?" Jay asked while playing his new adventure game,
"1000's of times." Crystal confirmed,
"Where do you find the key to the treasure room?" Jay asked,
"Easy! It's behind the weird, fat, golden monkey statue." Crystal explained,
"How? There's no way behind it and wouldn't that be way too obvious?" Jay asked,
"They put it there because people think it's too obvious and you need to press the ruby on its head to make it move forward to access behind it." Crystal explained and Jay obeyed and it worked,
"Thanks." Jay said,
"No problem." Crystal replied.
2 days later, Wu had a mission for them,
"Remember the rock heads?" Wu started,
"You mean the stupid, idiotic things that killed my big brother and dad?" Crystal replied, making her point,
"Yes. Some of them were spotted going under ground at this location," Wu stated as he handed Lloyd a map with the location marked out, "See what they are up to." Wu finished and Crystal was not happy,
"You mean that some of those vile creatures are out there?" Crystal questioned,
"And up to no good. Let's get moving." Kai said and they headed off, with Crystal quickly chucking Cole's hoodie in her room.
They flew to the spot, found the entrance and headed in.
While walking through, Crystal felt like something was going to happen, like an appearance or something, she couldn't be quite sure.
They found an over view of this huge room with a pole with someone with a fabric bag over their head. The ninjas hid and Crystal's feeling grew stronger and stronger.
"Hello everyone!" Stone King announced to his minions who cheered like they were at a concert, "Who's ready to have some fun?" he said and the crowd went crazy as he pulled the bag off the person and he didn't need to pull the bag all the way off for Crystal to know who it was.
Cole was there, looking like he was gong to pass out from exhaustion and the millisecond Stone King pulled off the bag and before anyone could beat an eye, Crystal jumped down, knocking down any rock heads that were in the way and headed towards Cole.
"WHAT THE? GET THAT NINJA!" Stone King shouted and his minions obeyed.
Crystal was knocking rock heads out left, right and centre. If you were a rock head, you got beaten up by Crystal,
"NINJAGO!" Crystal cried before using her spinjitzu to knock more rock heads out. She shot pink, glittery beams of sprit out her hands and she fought and fought until all the rock heads were knocked out, forcing Stone King to retreat. No one has ever seen Crystal do that ever but no one minded.
Just before every thing had settled, Crystal ran at full speed towards Cole,
"COLE!" Crystal called as she hugged her brother but he couldn't hug her back for his hands were locked up,
"Perhaps this would help." Zane said as he picked up a set of keys that were on the floor after Crystal's rampage and unlocked Cole's hands and Cole hugged Crystal back, tightly squeezing her but not enough to hurt her,
"Y-You're alive." Crystal sobbed in her brother's arms, "Wait, is dad ok too?" she asked,
"Yeah, but he's in bad condition." Cole weakly said,
"By the sounds and looks of it, you are too." Crystal said, still crying form the relief of her brother and dad being alive,
"Yeah but he doesn't have my strength." Cole said as he led the group, with the aid of his sister, to the cell where he and Lou were locked up,
"Zane, is the key for the cell on that hoop?" Kai asked,
"Why wait for the key?" Crystal stated as she helped Cole sit down and shot a sprit beam at the lock and the door blew open revealing Lou,
"DAD!" Crystal called as she ran into the cell, giving her dad a hug,
"Crystal, what are you doing here? It's dangerous here." Lou weakly stated, struggling to breathe at points,
"It's ok dad. Those idiots won't be messing with us for anymore. We're getting you guys out of here." Crystal explained, trying with so much force not to cry but a few tears ran down her cheeks, as she helped her father up but struggled for Lou was heavy from not being able to support himself as much as Cole could and Kai and Lloyd ended up taking over with helping Lou so Crystal went back to helping Cole to walk.
They got Cole and Lou to the hospital and they fixed them up and Cole was good enough to head home thanks to being the master of earth resulting him having super strength but Lou had to stay for a few days.
Back at the temple, Cole was going through his stuff when Crystal knocked on his door,
"Hey sis." Cole greeted and it felt like years since he said that,
"Hey Cole. I hope you don't mind, but, I borrowed your favourite hoodie." Crystal said as she handed the hoodie back to Cole and he just placed it on his bed and hugged his sister, who embraced it,
"Now I have even more reason to call it my favourite." Cole said in Spanish.
After a bit, they headed to the games room.
"Hey you 2. Cole it's still awesome to see that you're alive." Kai said,
"How do you think Crystal feels?" Nya stated and the group laughed as Crystal and Cole took a seat and watched the game that Jay was playing, at points asking Crystal for pointers every now and again for it was the new adventure game.
"Jay, you do realise this game is super, mega easy right?" Crystal asked after Jay asked for another pointer,
"That's because you've played it a million times." Jay replied,
"What ever. Whose turn is it to cook dinner tonight?" Crystal asked,
"It's your turn to cook tonight." Zane replied,
"Cool. I'm gonna get started." Crystal said, "Cole, what you want?" she asked in Spanish,
"Anything will do." Cole replied in Spanish,
And Crystal went to prepare dinner and Cole took this opportunity to ask the others something that he wanted to know,
"Hey, how did sis go without me?" Cole asked,
"Why do you ask?" Kai asked back,
"If I know my sister, which I do, me and dad supposably dying would've taken a huge tole on her." Cole explained,
"She made us swear not to tell anyone." Jay said,
"Why?" Cole asked with concern,
"She just did." Jay explained and that's when Cole got really worried.
Soon it was dinnertime and Crystal made a chicken roast with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies and gravy and everyone dug in,
"Hey sis. Did anything bad happen while I was gone?" Cole asked in Spanish,
"No…why?" Crystal asked back in Spanish and Cole knew that she was lying when she said 'no',
"You're lying. What happened?" Cole asked in Spanish but in stead of a response, Crystal filled her mouth up with food so she couldn't speak which made Cole roll his eyes for he taught her that trick, "You still use that trick?" he asked in Spanish and Crystal smiled and nodded.
After dinner, the ninjas went to play video games,
"Cole, you wanna play?" Jay asked
"No thanks. Another day." Cole declined as he took a seat and Crystal took the seat next to him for they wanted to catch up on missed time apart.
"Hey Cole, I hope you don't mind me asking but, what did they do to you there?" Nya asked. Cole paused for a minuet, glanced at his sister and he could tell that she wanted to know too, he sighed before saying,
"Each day, each hour was some sort of torture from whipping up with spikes to electrocuting us to not accessing food and water for only I could assume for days and when we did eat, they made up puke it back up and they tormented us with lies." Cole explained on the edge of tears but tried to hold them back because he may have just gotten back from months of torture but he still believed that he was the strong one of the group and couldn't be seen crying. Crystal hugged Cole, who embraced it,
"What kind of lies?" Jay asked,
"Anything from harming our family in Spain to killing Crystal." Cole explained, cringing at the last one,
"That's…intense." Kai said to break the awkward silence.
"Yeah. It drove me insane. I honestly thought that we weren't gonna make it and that was anything but helpful." Cole said with tears starting to come 1 by 1 but no one judged and Crystal hugged him tighter.
That night, Crystal had the nightmare about her mother again and decided to go out to look at the stars but when she went out, she found Cole already there and looking up.
"Hey big bro." Crystal said as she walked up to him,
"Hey little sis. What you doing up?" Cole asked,
"Had the nightmare again. You?" Crystal asked back,
"Not used to sleeping anymore." Cole simply answered,
"Why?" Crystal asked, worried,
"They didn't let us sleep. When we did, they woke us up until we wouldn't sleep anymore." Cole answered sadly,
"Wow. That's bad." Crystal said, not know what to say, "Do…do you think dad will be ok?" she asked, scared for her father,
"Most probably, they put most of the torture on me for I'm the ninja." Cole explained, "Now, you still haven't answered my question." he remembered,
"What question?" Crystal asked, knowing what the question was,
"What happened while I was gone?" Cole stated,
"Training, worked on dancing and helping people in need." Crystal answered, not looking at her brother,
"And?" Cole questioned for he knew there was more,
"And what?" Crystal asked back, not wanting to mention what happened,
"Crystal Patricia Brookestone. Something happened and you aren't telling me what." Cole said sternly, letting Crystal know that he was going to get and answer out of her,
"*Sigh* I don't want to tell you Cole because you'll be disappointed in me, even…h-h-hate me." Crystal responded, not looking at her brother and started to cry a little,
"Crystal." Cole started, picking up her chin so she was looking at him, "There's nothing in this world you can that'll make me hate you." He explained and he hugged his sister,
"I just don't want anyone to know what happened. I still can't believe what happened." Crystal sobbed, trying not to give any clues on to what happened.
After Crystal calmed down, Cole sent her to bed for she got tired,
"Good-night sis." Cole said,
"Good-night big bro." Crystal said back as she hugged her big brother and headed back inside and Cole thought that maybe Lloyd would give him the answers to what happened.
The next afternoon, everyone was just chilling and Cole took this opportunity to ask Lloyd on what happened so he headed to dinning where Lloyd was alone for some reason but Cole wasn't complaining,
"Hey Lloyd." Cole said,
"Hey Cole." Lloyd said back, looking up at him,
"What you doing?" Cole asked as he took a seat,
"Nothing." Lloyd responded,
"Ok. Hey I need to ask you something." Cole said,
"Ok, what?" Lloyd asked,
"Something happened with Crystal and no one's telling what, what happened?" Cole asked and when he did, Lloyd paused for a minuet, looked around to see if Crystal was around then looked at Cole,
"You aren't going to like it and Crystal may kill me for telling but *sigh* while you were gone Crystal kinda fell into a deep depression." Lloyd started to explain,
"Depression? Crystal? How bad did it get?" Cole asked, scared for what he would hear,
"Well…uh…she stopped eating, drinking and sleeping, started…to…cut who knows how long after you supposably died, almost committed suicide and the cutting got so bad after that, she had to go to hospital." Lloyd explained only because Cole was Crystal's brother,
"Wait, what? That's what happened?" Cole asked, scared to death from what he just heard,
"Sadly." Lloyd confirmed,
"Ok. Thanks." Cole said as he stood up to find Crystal, still not believing what he heard.
Cole got to Crystal's room and knocked on the door,
"Who is it?" Crystal asked from inside her room,
"Your brother." Cole called,
"Come in." Crystal called, and Cole headed in,
"We need to talk." Cole started,
"Ok, about what?" Crystal asked, worried for she felt like it was going to be about something bad,
"I found out what happened." Cole started,
"W-w-who told you?" Crystal asked,
"Lloyd and Crystal, you stopped eating, drinking and sleeping, you started to cut, tried to commit suicide and had to go to hospital?" Cole asked and Crystal sat on her bed and started to cry and Cole sat next to her and supported her,
"You're disappointed aren't you? Please don't hate me." Crystal sobbed,
"Crystal. I'm not disappointed, and there's nothing in this universe you could do that would make he hate you. I'm just scared and worried for you. You've stopped right?" Cole asked and Crystal nodded, "Well, you've stopped and that's the main part. Ok? Just promise me that you'll never-ever do it ever again." He explained,
"Ok." Crystal promised,
"Now, wanna whop Jay, he's play that adventure game." Cole explained,
"Yeah." Crystal smiled.
The siblings walked into the games room and Jay was playing the adventure game,
"No, NO! I'm gonna get through this level with out your help." Jay stated,
"Mm-mm. Ok." Crystal shrugged as she and Cole took a seat and 10 minuets later, Jay was stuck, "Need some help?" Crystal asked and Cole, and Nya chuckled,
"Nope!" Jay said, determined to keep to his word, another 5 minuets later, Jay sighed, "Um…Crystal?" Jay shyly asked and that sent the room laughing,
"Place the ruby on the window and follow the line." Crystal explained and Jay obeyed,
"Thanks." Jay muttered,
"No problem. Do you need anymore help?" Crystal sarcastically asked,
"Shut up!" Jay said as he threw a cushion at her and she threw it back at him as the room laughed.
Soon, crystal bumped into Lloyd in the hallway,
"Hey. So Cole took me that you told him." Crystal stated,
"If you're gonna get mad, he's your brother, I had to tell him." Lloyd said,
"Yeah I know and actually, thanks for telling him. I guess it's a good thing that he knows." Crystal said, smiling up at him who smiled back,
"Hey what was all that laughing about?" Lloyd asked,
"Me annoying Jay with his adventure game." Crystal explained with a giggle,
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" Jay called from the games room,
"YES IT IS!" Crystal called back with Lloyd laughing.
The next day, Crystal decided to visit her dad in the hospital,
"Hey dad." Crystal greeted,
"Hey sweetie." Lou greeted back as Crystal hugged him,
"Cole told us what happened to you guys." Crystal explained,
"Did he?" Lou said and Crystal nodded, "Well, we're fine now. How have things been?" he asked,
"Um…as fine as it can get without you and Cole." Crystal answered,
"And? Crystal, there's something else." Lou stated,
"Why does everyone say there's something else?" Crystal questioned,
"Because we know you and as your father, I know when there's something you're not telling me." Lou said as the nurse came in and it was the same nurse that treated Crystal when she was in hospital,
"Hello Mr Brookestone how are things?" she asked,
"Fine thank you." Lou replied,
"Oh Miss Brookestone, I didn't recognise you. You've improved greatly. How have you wrists been?" she asked,
"All healed thanks." Crystal replied shyly for Lou was lifting an eyebrow as the nurse finished the check ups and left,
"Wrists? Improved greatly?" Lou questioned,
"Um…I'm not getting out of this am I?" Crystal questioned and Lou shook his head, "Just…please don't get angry." Crystal started and told Lou about everything and as she did, she broke into tears,
"Crystal, sweetie, listen. You've stopped, we're back, you have nothing left to worry about and I'm not angry. Ok?" Lou explained, struggling on what words to use,
"Ok." Crystal said.
They talked for a bit more and soon, visiting time was over and Crystal had to leave,
"See you later my little dancer." Lou said,
"Bye dad." Crystal said as she gave her dad a hug and headed back home.
When Crystal got back to the temple, she headed to the games room where Cole, Kai, Jay and Skylor were playing videos games,
"Hey sis, how's dad going?" Cole asked,
"He's going great." Crystal responded, "And he made me tell." She added in Spanish,
"I won!" Jay fist punched the air,
"Again?" Kai, Cole and Skylor groaned and Jay just laughed, then Skylor for an idea to take the smile off Jay's face,
"Hey Crystal, wanna swap?" Skylor offered,
"NO!" Jay called for he was enjoying his winning streak,
"Why thank you Skylor." Crystal said as she took the controller from Skylor,
"NNOO!" Jay called and sent the others laughing,
"Your welcome." Skylor said with a smug look,
"I swear I've asked this before but I'm asking again, how are you so good at video games?" Jay asked,
"Lets just say, I've had a lot of free time growing up." Crystal said sadly and sent off a frown, "Plus, some needs to cream you all." She added, trying to lighten the mood.
Later that night, Crystal and Lloyd were out for dinner at their favourite restaurant,
"So, how is it having Cole and Lou back?" Lloyd asked after they ordered their meals,
"Amazing, but…" Crystal said but trailed off,
"But what?" Lloyd asked,
"You know what…my wrists." Crystal whispered,
"Crystal, you've stopped now. You don't need to worry." Lloyd reassured,
"But…*sigh* but now, since they were alive all this time." Crystal said, constantly looking down at her wrists, which were each covered up by thick bracelets so her scars wouldn't show for she was really self-conscious about them,
"Listen here beautiful." Lloyd started as her grabbed Crystal's hand gently, "You were going through some tough times, you were depressed, you stopped and they turned out to be ok. You have nothing left to worry about." He said, as he looked deep into her eyes.
Crystal took his words in and realised that she needed to stop worrying about her past and look towards the good things in life.
'You can't go forward if you keep looking back.' Crystal thought as she looked at her wrist once more then looked back at Lloyd and smiled. It was great having him as a boyfriend.
They ate their meal and decided to go for a walk together before heading back.
While they were they were walking, a pair of siblings ran up to them,
"Wow! You guys are the green ninja, Lloyd and the pink ninja, Crystal!" The sister exclaimed,
"Yes we are. May we help you?" Lloyd asked, wondering with Crystal where the parents were,
"We're huge fans and we were wondering if you guys would sign our photos." The brother exclaimed while they both held out a photo each with all the ninjas on it,
"Of course." Crystal responded as they took the photos, "What are your names and how old are you both?"
"My name is Patricia and this is my big brother Patrick." Patricia explained,
"I'm 7 and she's 6." Patrick added,
"Funny. My middle name is Patricia and my big brother's middle name is Patrick." Crystal explained as she and Lloyd handed back the photos after signing them,
'THEY ARE?!" the siblings asked in unison,
"Yep." Crystal replied,
"So that's what Cole's middle name is. I guess I win." Lloyd said,
"Wait, what?" Crystal asked, confused,
"Back at the temple, there's a competition to see who can guess Cole's middle name and the winner gets to have Cole do anything for the whole hour and if we can't guess it, he gets to have one of us do anything he wants for the hour." Lloyd explained,
"Why wasn't I in this?" Crystal sulked,
"Because you know his middle name." Lloyd laughed and Patricia and Patrick joined in,
"So who's your big brother?" Patricia asked,
"You guys know the black ninja?" Crystal asked,
"Duh. Cole." Patricia said,
"You can't call yourself a huge ninja fan and not know all the ninjas and their names." Patrick explained,
"Well he's my big brother." Crystal explained,
"COOL!" the siblings exclaimed,
"Hey where are your parents?" Lloyd asked,
"They're at the café at the corner over there." Patricia explained while pointing to the end of the block they were on at the café,
"They're big fans too." Patrick added.
As soon as Patrick finished saying that, the Llama song started playing out nowhere and Crystal grabbed her phone, it turned out it was her ring tone and the others looked at her,
"What? It's catchy." Crystal explained as she looked to she who was calling her, "It's Cole." She added as she rolled her eyes as she answered her phone, "What is it Cole?" She asked,
"Where are you? You were due back 15 minuets ago." Cole said from over the phone,
"1) Talking to a couple of fans, 2) I'm not 6, you don't need to worry about how long I'm taking and 3) how do you know what time we were planning to return?" Crystal asked and there was just silences on the other end of the line, "Yeah that's what I thought. Listen we'll be back soon and don't need to worry, I'm with Lloyd. You trust him with me or you've punched his head into the ground when we started dating, literally." She added,
"Yes I do need to worry, you're my little sister and hurry up!" Cole demanded,
"Whatever. See ya later." Crystal said as she rolled her eyes,
"See ya soon." Cole said as he hanged up,
"Brothers." Crystal said as she put her phone back in her pocket,
"What happened?" Lloyd asked,
"Cole found out what time we planned to get back a freaked out because we're 15 minuets late." Crystal explained, rolling her eyes,
"Why is he worrying? You're an adult." Patricia asked,
"Not in his eyes. In his eyes, in his eyes I'm in nappies." Crystal explained, as the siblings laughed,
"We better get going. It was awesome meeting you guys." Patricia started,
"Yeah. Hope we see you guys again, hopefully with the whole group." Patrick finished as he and his sister head back to their parents,
"Nice meeting you guys too. Bye." Crystal and Lloyd said before they started to head back to the temple.
When they got back to the temple, they headed to the games room where the others were hanging out,
"I got it! It's Harold!" Jay stated,
"Wrong again." Cole said with a smug smile,
"What's going on?" Crystal asked, pretending not to know,
"Crystal, quick, what's Cole's middle name?" Jay asked,
"Why?" Crystal questioned,
"A competition that you can't do." Cole replied,
"Why?" Crystal asked, pretending to sulk about it,
"The others have to guess my middle name and if they get it right, I have to do what ever they say for the next hour." Cole explained,
"And why can't I join in?" Crystal asked as she and Lloyd sat down together,
"Because you know my middle name." Cole said,
"So Crystal, what's his middle name?" Jay asked,
"Not telling." Crystal said, smirking,
"Aww." Jay groaned, "You'd tell Lloyd." He muttered quietly but it was just loud enough for Crystal to hear and so she threw a cushion at him, hard, "Hey! What was that for?"
"I heard what you said and FYI, I would not." Crystal stated,
"Why not?" Lloyd asked, joining in on what Crystal was doing,
"Because you guys have to guess it." Crystal explained,
"Not even a little hint?" Lloyd questioned,
"Nope." Crystal said as she booped him on the nose, which made Cole want to puke,
"How much longer do they have?" Crystal asked,
"The competition ends in ½ an hour." Cole explained, also warning the group on the time limit,
"What about, Randy?" Zane asked,
"Wrong." Cole said,
"Pixal suggested that your middle name is David." Zane explained,
"Sorry Pixal." Cole said with an evil smile,
"I'm sure I got it this time." Jay said,
"What?" Cole asked,
"Jeremy." Jay answered and Cole looked surprised,
"You actually got it…wrong!" Cole said and the room went into laughter for Jay looked so excited,
"I recon it's either: Bob, Mark or Jack." Kai guessed,
"Wrong, wrong and wrong." Cole said,
"It's Dan, Daniel or Damian." Nya guessed,
"Sorry Nya, all wrong and you guys have 5 minuets to go." Cole warned,
"What about Rumpelskiltskin." Lloyd joked and the group laughed,
"As if." Cole said, "Final guesses?" he asked,
"Is it…Patrick?" Lloyd asked,
"Oh no." Cole said,
"What's wrong?" Kai asked,
"He got it right." Cole explained,
"For real?" Jay complained,
"No joke." Cole said,
"Crystal?" Nya asked,
"Lloyd got it." Crystal confirmed, trying not to laugh,
"Now, what am I going to make you do for the next hour?" Lloyd questioned,
"Be nice to him because if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't for known." Crystal said,
"Wait, you told him?" Cole questioned,
"No. Remember when I told you that we ran into a couple of fans earlier?" Crystal started and Cole nodded, "They had the same names of our middle names and I pointed it out so, I never told Lloyd, I told a fan, Jay!" Crystal explained and pointed it at Jay for his earlier comment.
Lloyd had his hour of fun with Cole with him doing embarrassing things like dances and statements to making him answer some questions he been wanting to ask and act as a slave and soon after that, they went to sleep.
The next day, the group were hanging, except for Zane, out in the games room waiting for Zane to come in,
"How was your date?" Nya asked Crystal and Lloyd,
"Ran into a couple of fan and my nosey big brother who doesn't seem to under stand that I'm not in nappies anymore, gave me a call." Crystal said, glaring at her brother,
"What? I was worried. Plus it's my job to keep and eye on you and make sure you're safe." Cole said,
"I would be fine. I was with Lloyd." Crystal explained as Zane came in with a box,
"What is this all about?" Zane asked,
"Cole babying me." Crystal explained,
"I'm not babying you!" Cole argued,
"Hmm-hmm. Sure you aren't." Crystal said,
"What's in the box?" Jay asked,
"Sensei said he picked it up from the post office. It's a bunch of fan letters." Zane replied, "How are we going to sort this out." He asked,
"Dump it all out and we can pick and choose from it." Kai explained.
Zane dumped out the box and sure enough, it was full of letters and even a parcel here and there and the ninjas started to go through the pile. At one point, Zane pulled out a letter that was covered in stamps,
"Why does this letter have so many stamps?" Zane asked the group,
"Looks like someone really wanted to make sure their letter got to us." Crystal explained as she took the off him and opened it,
"Read out loud so we can all hear it 'cos I'm interested." Kai stated,
"Dear Ninjas,
My Name is Simon and I am 8 years old. I have a little sister named Emily and she is 6 years old and she is really sick. She is so sick that they had to put her in a hospital. The doctors said she has a thing called cancer. It must he really bad because she has lost all her hair and has gotten really thin and has to breathe from a tube that is taped to her face. She is so thin that I can see her bones. The doctors also say that she might not be alive for a long time if she doesn't get better. We both really love you ninjas and she really wants to meet you guys. I'm her big brother and it is my job has her big brother is to make my little sister happy and meeting you guys will make her very happy. Can you please come a make my little sister happy? Please because I don't want my little sister sad. She is at Ninjago hospital and is in room 202. The lady at the front desk says that visiting times are at 9:00 am until 9:00pm. She said that it would be ok for you guys to come and visit Emily and all you need to do is come and she will let you come to my sister's room. I hope you guys will get this letter in time because my mum and dad said that the mail is very slow so I put a lot of stamps to make sure you get the letter very fast. Please come and make my sister happy. Please come soon.
From Simon." Crystal read the letter out loud,
"When was the letter sent?" Jay asked,
"A day ago." Crystal said,
"Looks like all though stamps worked." Nya stated,
"Looks like we have something important to do tomorrow." Lloyd said,
"If Sensei says we can, you know how strict he can be." Kai stated,
"I heard everything and I think it would be an excellent idea to go." Wu said from the doorway be fore heading off, back to his room.
The ninjas made a plan for tomorrow and went on with the rest of the day.
Later that day, Lloyd was outside with Crystal, helping her improve her punches,
"Like this?" Crystal asked as she did the punches they worked on,
"Spot on. You know that you really didn't need improvement on your punches right?" Lloyd questioned,
"You know I'm always looking for ways to improve my work." Crystal said she went over to her boyfriend and wrapped her hands around the top of his neck, which resulted in Lloyd wrapping his hands around her waist,
"You can be such a perfectionist at times." Lloyd said,
"Practice makes perfect." Crystal simply said as she they began to kiss and as they did, Cole came around the corner,
"And beginning to puke now!" Cole said as he saw his friend and his sister kissing and he looked away. Crystal and Lloyd saw and heard this and Crystal laughed while Lloyd smiled,
"What's up big bro?" Crystal asked,
"Came out to do some extra training and was not expecting to see my friend making out with my sister which was an image I did not need or want to see and I wish I could delete it." Cole said in Spanish,
15 minuets later, Misako came out,
"Lloyd, may speak to you for a second?" Misako asked,
"Sure thing mum." Lloyd responded as he walked over to his mother,
"What do you think is going on?" Cole asked for Lloyd and Misako were out of ear shot,
"I don't know but I hope it's good." Crystal responded.
The siblings looked over to where Lloyd and Misako were and they saw Misako say something that made Lloyd groan, loudly, and said something back to Misako who nodded to what ever he said and said something before leaving and Lloyd went back to where he was training,
"What was that about?" Cole asked,
"Nothing good except for 1 thing. Hey Crystal, are you busy next week?" Lloyd asked,
"When?" Crystal asked back, sensing that Lloyd was not going to enjoy what ever it is that's happening,
"Thursday, 8 till 10, probably getting back around 11." Lloyd explained,
"Nothing, why?" Crystal asked,
"My auntie, from my mum's side, is having a ball and mum said that aunty is allowing me to bring someone with me." Lloyd explained, with a dead expression across his face,
"What's with the dead look?" Crystal asked,
"My aunty is super annoying and embarrassing. Her balls are also super boring but I'm forced to go and if I'm gonna bring a guest, I'm gonna bring one who can make the ball actually enjoyable." Lloyd explained,
"Oooh. I don't know. If it's gonna be boring. I don't know." Crystal teased,
"Come on. Please don't be like that. Come on, please don't make me face this alone." Lloyd begged,
"I don't know. You're asking a lot here. I'm not sure I wanna." Crystal continued to tease and she couldn't help but to laugh at the expression that he gave, "I'm joking, you know I am. Of course I'll come along to that ball."
"Thanks, and sorry in advanced for how boring it'll be." Lloyd said as he held her hands and put their foreheads together, which made Cole wanna puke. Again.
