Chapter 15:
It was the Thursday of Lloyd's auntie's ball and Crystal, Misako and Lloyd were getting ready,
"So Lloyd has an aunt?" Jay asked,
"Yes he does Jay and let's just say she has a…personality." Wu stated as Misako walked down the stairs,
"A very big personality and she's not afraid to say what she wants." Misako added. Misako was wearing a dress with top part being a light tan colour, the bottom part being dark green and reached to the floor and her sleeves reaching from her shoulder to her wrists and were made of this lace-like material and were the same colour as the bottom part of her dress. Her hair was out of her usual plat and now was loose on her shoulders and this was the 1st time the ninjas realised how long her hair was for now it reached past her back so she let Crystal curl the bottom ½ slightly which softened it up. She has a sliver chain with an emerald pendant, sliver earrings that dangled off her ears and a pair of dark green flats. For make up she dark red lipstick, dark green and silver eye shadow and a hint of blush.
"Wow Misako. You look gorgeous." Nya commented,
"Why thank you Nya." Misako replied,
"Let me guess, Crystal made the dress?" Cole spoke up,
"Yes she did." Misako answered, surprised slightly,
"How did you know?" Zane asked,
"Crystal designs so often that now I can recognise it easily." Cole explained,
"Lloyd. Are you and Crystal ready? We got to leave soon or else we'll be late." Misako called up,
"Waiting on Crystal. Would be a sec." Lloyd called back down,
"What's she doing?" Misako mumbled,
"Looking for mum's pin if I'm correct." Cole answered,
"Why?" Kai asked,
"It's this pin that mum always took to special occasions, ever since mum disappeared, whenever there's a special occasion, Crystal always takes that pin." Cole explained.
Crystal and Lloyd came down stairs and Misako smiled proudly at her son. Lloyd was wearing the tux Crystal Made for him, his hair was how he usually had it and he had black, leather shoes. He was linking arms with Crystal who was wearing a light pink dress that was slim but poofed out a tiny bit, the top bit was a bit glittery, around her waist she had a silver fabric with a flower on the side and in the middle of the flower, Cole saw their mother's pin. The pin was a silver pin with a sapphire in the middle. Crystal had the same shoes she had on for her 20th birthday, her hair was in a high, neat bun but she had what ever wasn't in the bun was let down, she had a silver necklace with a pink, heart, crystal pendent which matched her earrings which were silver and had pink heart crystal dangling from them and her makeup was pink and silver eye shadow, light pink lipstick and a hint of blush and Cole could tell that she used a bit of foundation to hide the scars on her wrists.
"I never thought I'd see Lloyd in a tux." Kai stated,
"Shut up!" Lloyd shot back,
"Your father would be proud." Misako stated as she smiled at Lloyd,
"Thanks mum." Lloyd smiled back,
"I guess we're off. Good-bye everyone." Misako said,
"Have fun!" Nya called after them,
"Stay safe!" Cole to Crystal in Spanish,
"Yep!" Crystal called back to her brother in Spanish.
The 3 flew down to where Lloyd's aunty said the limo would met them, with Misako getting on Lloyd's dragon, and sure enough, the limo was waiting for them,
"Misako, Lloyd and Crystal?" The driver asked when the 3 landed next to the limo,
"Yes thank you." Misako answered.
The driver opened the door for the 3 and when all 3 were in, he closed the door and drove off,
"I still down see why we wouldn't just fly our dragons there." Lloyd commented to Misako,
"You know what your auntie's like." Misako explained,
"What is she like?" Crystal asked,
"Aunt Meeka is…well…it's kinda hard to explain but trust me, they may come the same family but Aunt Meeka is NOTHING like mum. They're complete opposite." Lloyd explained,
"You're exaggerating right?" Crystal questioned,
"He's telling the truth." Misako confirmed.
They pulled up at this house the could been confused for a castle,
"Wow!" Crystal exclaimed,
"Wait till you see the inside." Lloyd told Crystal.
They went inside and it was exactly what you'd expect to see in a castle,
"Lloyd, why didn't you ever tell me you were from royal blood." Crystal joked which made Lloyd chuckle,
"Our family is not royal but I'm pretty sure aunty doesn't know that." Lloyd explained,
"MISAKO! LLOYD!" a woman's voice boomed to the 3 and a woman who kinda looked like Misako but with a stronger built facial structure and no glasses and with a light orange ball gown that reached the floor, walked over to them,
"Hello Meeka." Misako hugged her sister,
"Hey Aunty." Lloyd said to his aunt,
"Look how big you are!" Meeka exclaimed as she hugged Lloyd,
"Well I did get hit by tomorrows tea a while back." Lloyd reminded his aunt,
"I know but still! Oh and this must be Crystal!" Meeka smiled, "Darling, may I say you are gorgeous! Misako told me lots about you."
"Thank you. Love your dress." Crystal stated,
"Thank you darling. Misako, Lloyd. Where did you get the outfits?" Meeka asked after she got a better look at them,
"Crystal made them herself." Misako answered,
"You made them?" Meeka asked Crystal,
"From scratch. I even made my own." Crystal explained,
"How long did it take you?" Meeka asked,
"That's not important." Crystal said as her face turned red,
"Why not darling?" Meeka questioned,
"Because it's boasting. I don't like to boast." Crystal explained,
"Darling. If you want to put yourself out there, you got to boast." Meeka explained,
"I still don't like to boast." Crystal stated as her face turned redder,
"Meeka why don't we catch up a bit?" Misako suggested saving the other 2, plus she actually wanted to catch up with her sister,
"Excellent idea sister. It's has years since I last saw you with your hair down." Meeka began to talk and the sisters walked off,
"What did we tell you? Aunty has a personality,
"But she's not the complete opposite of Misako." Crystal pointed out,
"She in a way is." Lloyd added.
20 minuets later, Crystal and Lloyd were talking and making jokes when the band started to play a slow dance,
"Wanna dance?" Lloyd offered,
"Do you need to ask?" Crystal responded and Lloyd led her to the dance floor.
They got onto the dance floor, Lloyd placed his hands on her waist and Crystal placed her hands on his shoulders and they begun to dance.
Misako and Meeka watched from the side as the 2 love birds danced,
"I know he got splashed with tomorrows tea but still…" Meeka stared,
"They grow up so fast." Misako finished and the 2 sisters giggled, "Yeah. If Garmadon could see him now." She added, smiling at the memories of Garmadon, good or evil.
"You miss him don't you?" Meeka asked her younger sister,
"Yeah. I know it's been a while but…I shouldn't of have left Lloyd in the 1st place." Misako admitted,
"Misako, never wish to change the past. I know there are things that we wish that could've gone differently, but if they did, so many things wouldn't have happened." Meeka explained,
"You're right. Thanks Meeka." Misako hugged her big sister who hugged her back.
