A/N: Hey guys, before you start reading, you should know that my school's opening up again on Monday, so I might not be updating as quickly as I usually do, I know my teachers and they'll murder me with pop quizzes and home work but I'll update as much as I can today and Sunday so you'll get your full and be able to wait for new chapters.

Lloyd: Aw, so they're not gonna' know what's gonna' happen between Scarlet and I yet?

Scarlet: Yeah, we want them to know that we'll-

Me: Shut up or you'll spoil the story! *Sigh* let's just move onto the story, please.

Chapter 4: A reason to stay

Lloyd found his uncle drinking tea on deck of the ship. "Ah, Lloyd, did the ninja speak to you about-"

"I don't wanna' talk about it, that still makes my stomach turn. But, I really need a favor, Uncle Wu."

The old man looked up and put down his cup of tea. "And what is that?"

"I really want Scarlet to stay with us, so I need you to help me come up with something to make her stay." He sat in front of his uncle and gave his puppy eyes; they weren't as effective now as when he was a child.

Eventually his uncle gave in and sighed. "Alright, Lloyd, but I must ask this."

"Sure, what is it?"

"Will you please stop making that face?"

Lloyd smiled and let his puppy eyes fade away. "Good, now what's the reason she'll stay?"

Meanwhile…

Scarlet gave a confused look to the others after Lloyd left. "What's up with him?" she asked everyone else.

They all shrugged, but the four ninja looked like they were hiding something. "Uh…Okay…" she folded her arms, under her chest uncomfortably. "How do older girls deal with these things? I can't jump up and down 'cause it hurts my chest and I sure as hell can't run with two balloons attached to my upper body." She thought.

Then something felt strange. "I'll be right back, where's your bathroom?"

"Down the hall, the third door on your left," Kai said.

Scarlet walked off, following Kai's directions. Finally she found the bathroom and walked in. When she locked the door and was finally alone, she dropped her pants and looked down in her underwear. There was a slimy liquid in her underwear and it was blood red. Slowly she pulled her pants back up and looked in the mirror with wide eyes. She took a deep breath, begging herself not to scream. Too late… "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Everyone on the ship heard Scarlet's scream and ran in the direction where they heard it. They all stopped in front of the bathroom door. "Scarlet, what's wrong?" Lloyd asked through the door.

"Why'd you scream?" Kai joined in.

Slowly Scarlet opened the door and looked at everyone. "I-I'm…I'm b-bleeding…I s-saw b-blood…"

"Are you okay? Where are you bleeding?" Lloyd asked.

She pointed downward. "Wait…" Nya trailed off.

Suddenly, Nya, Kai, Jay, Cole and Zane all burst out laughing. "What's so funny? She might be hurt!" The Green Ninja hissed.

The four teenage ninja sighed and Sensei Wu quickly snuck away to avoid explaining. "Okay, Lloyd there's more to women then you know, c'mon and we'll explain what happens to them every month." Cole patted his back and led him away with the other ninja following behind.

Scarlet stood confused and Nya smiled. "Scarlet, the bleeding is normal for girls our age, let me explain…"

A little while later…

"So, do you have any questions?"

Scarlet sat down with a face full of shock and curiosity. "Uh…Should I use a tampon or a pad?"

"For a beginner like you, a pad would be good for now."

"How do I know when my period is supposed to come?"

Nya pulled out a calendar. "Mark the day that it came and usually around that same time each month, it comes, but if your period's irregular, you have to take some special pills to fix it,"

Scarlet nodded, but then cocked her head. "What do you mean by special pills?"

"Oh boy…" the samurai sighed.

Meanwhile…

Lloyd's face was twitching by the time the four ninja explained to him what was happening to Scarlet. "What…So…Scarlet's gonna' be fine?"

"Yeah, this stuff is normal for girls." Kai said. "That means a girl is turning into a woman."

"Oh c'mon, she gets to become a woman and I'm stuck as a boy!" Lloyd whined. "No fair!"

"Speaking of which, we should tell you what an erection is." Cole pushed Jay forward. "Tell him, Jay."

"What? Why does it have to be me?"
"Just do it." Kai ordered.

Jay sighed. "Okay, Lloyd when a guy likes something…a lot, all the blood that swims around his body goes down to his…Um…Uh…" he cleared his throat. "His…Oh God…"

"For God sake, it goes to his cock!" Cole burst out. "It's called a boner, Lloyd."

Lloyd cocked his head. (Me: Get it? Get it? Never mind). "What's a cock?"

"Mother-"

Back with Nya and Scarlet, QUICKLY before Cole loses his patience…

Suddenly Sensei Wu walked into the room with a reason for Scarlet to stay. In his hands were a royal blue ninja suit and a Bo staff. "Hey, Sensei," Scarlet waved. Nya had explained everything clearly and she was now calm. "Watcha' got there?"

She stood and examined the items curiously. "NinjaGO!" he spun around her in a gold tornado and when he stopped she was wearing the suit and holding the Bo staff. "Scarlet, the master of wind,"

She smiled. "Oh, cool! I can kick bad guy butts! Can I learn to do that cool spin thingy?"

"You mean spinjitzu?" Nya asked.

"Uh, yeah let's call it that." She ran off to go find Lloyd.

Let's go back to Lloyd since Cole cooled down…

"Okay, do you get everything now?" Kai asked after they finished explaining.

Lloyd slowly nodded. "It's sorta' a lot of stuff to remember, but…Yeah I get it."

Everyone but Lloyd sighed with relief. "Good, if you have any more questions, please, hesitate to ask." Jay said.

Suddenly someone in a royal blue ninja suit burst through the door and hugged The Green ninja. "Dude, your uncle said I'm the master of wind, I can kick bad guy butt!" Lloyd was confused for a moment, but the person pulled back their hood. "It's me, Dummy!"

His eyes widened a bit. "Scarlet?"

"Yeah, it's me; I can't believe I get to train with you guys!"

He smiled and looked over to his uncle who was smiling back. "So…You're gonna' live with us, right?"

"How else am I gonna' train?" she squealed, hugging him tighter.

Inside, Lloyd said a silent yes while hugging Scarlet back.
