Later that day, Maya was asleep in a snow drift, until she heard the screams. She yawned, stretched and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Standing up, she walked into the town and saw Lloyd and the serpentine?! She stood there, petrified, until Lloyd came up to her. "Maya, come on! Let's get some candy!"

"A-are they safe?!" Maya asked, scared out of her mind. "Snakes are my biggest fear, Lloyd!"

"Course they are! Now come on!" The two ran into a candy shop. Lloyd filled a cart with candy and ordered his snake followers to take all the candy. He passed Maya a lollipop. She hugged him. Then Maya noticed a woman in a pretty red dress was hiding.

"Hi." The woman in red nearly screamed, but saw it was only a child. "Who are you?" Maya asked.

"I'm Nya Flamey. Are you with Lloyd?" Nya asked.

"Yes . . ." Maya replied, with distinct guilt embedded in her voice. "My name's Maya Flamey."

"Flamey?" Nya asked. "Who're your parents?"

"My mom died last year, but her name was Penny. My dad doesn't know I was born and I don't know who he is," Maya replied, sitting beside Nya.

Nya looked nervous. "I've gotta go, but I'll see you later, okay Maya?"

Maya nodded and returned to where Lloyd was. She sat onto of his cart of candy. They both were eating candy and Lloyd was laughing. "I'm never going down from this sugar high! Woohoo!" Maya just laughed at him, until the ninja jumped in front of them.

"Sorry to bust your buzz, little Garmadon," Cole said.

"But it's already past your bedtime!" Jay finished.

"GET THEM!" Lloyd cried.

"Seize them!" The General of the Hypnobrai ordered.

"The serpentine? They're real?" Kai asked.

Lloyd pulled Maya away. "Come on, we don't want to get in the way." The ninja seemed to retreat, but then they were back in the game. Except they were terrible. Maya couldn't help but laugh. The two went back to the candy cart and Maya sat on it again as Lloyd pushed it away from the scene. "Consider this a warning, ninja!" Lloyd laughed, until Zane used his shurikens and the cart fell over them. Maya fell over, and started to cry. Lloyd didn't care about to candy anymore; he just wanted to see if his friend was alright. "Are you alright?" Maya nodded weakly and Lloyd cried, "RETREAT!" The snakes and children began to retreat, back to the Hypnobrai's lair.
