[A/n: I'm sorry if one thing March says at the beginning offends anybody. When I was rereading chapter 3 for typos that just kinda came to mind.]
"Why'd you make me do that? Pick a side already, I'm sick of you being so wishy-washy."
"Maybe I'd rather just ssssit on the fence for a while."
"Maybe I'd push you off that fence."
"That wasss only a metaphor, kid."
"I know. By the way, the green ninja couldn't decide which side of the fence we're on. See, I can use metaphors too!"
March sighed before replying, "He wouldn't be if you were a better actor. And it's the golden ninja."
"I swear, you could be on some ninja-trivia game show. 'And for the million dollar grand prize, what is the green- I mean, golden- ninja's full name?' " Cody said in a game-show host voice.
"Lloyd Garmadon," March rolled his eyes. Everyone knows that, he thought.
"Full name means middle name too. 'That's a million dollars lost to the snake who claims to know everything.' "
"Shut up, kid. I never sssaid I knew everything, only that I knew more than you. But while we're on the topic of ninja, you sssounded ssso gay earlier. 'A ninja remembered my name. Oh, swoon,' " March said in a high-pitched voice, "You got a crush on Kai or something?"
"Says the guy who looks like he got puked on by a rainbow...Hey! How did you-"
"I usssed a bug, kid," Match interrupted, a smug look on his face.
"You used a what now?"
"A bug? You know, a lissstening deviccce?"
"What?! Take it off of me!"
"I never sssaid it wasss on you." Cody relaxed for a moment before March added, grinning, "But it could be."
"What the heck do we do now?"
"We don't have many options. We could go looking for that flower-"
"So we're trusting snakes now?" Kai interrupted, "Next we should invite the Skulkin over for dinner!"
"Or we could do nothing and possibly put Jay's life on the line," Cole finished, glaring at Kai.
"Snakes can't be trusted, Cole, you know that!"
"So Sensei's scrolls lie too?"
"That's not what I said! Look, they didn't have to tell us the prophecy. What if they're planning to do something after we leave?"
"You might be right, Kai, but we've got- what, a week?- to find some flower or Jay dies."
"And who told us the bite was deadly?"
"How about Kai and me stay?" Lloyd said, trying to prevent a fight between them, "You and Zane can go ahead. We'll make sure the snakes don't try anything."
"I think it's a good idea."
"If Zane agrees, it must be a good plan."
"I see you've finally made up your mind," Kai said teasingly.
"Nope, I'm still pretty confused, but if the snakes attack then I'll know they're bad."
"Did you say you're staying-not because you wish to protect Ninjago- but because you wish to know if a few snakes are evil?"
"Gees, Uncle, when you put it like that it sounds selfish."
[A/N: I had writer's block, that's why this chapter sucked, and also why I started with the snakes. Not much happened, but that's because I didn't wanna send them to the Frozen Wastelands until the next chapter.]
