Jay sat at the table poking around his food with his fork as he you held a very flat expression on his face.
"Are you going to eat?" Lloyd asked him. He shook his head no and pushed his plate towards the center of the table.
"Jay, what's going on?" Cole asked Jay knowing something was up. Jay never turned down one of Zane's meals, no one did.
"I don't feel like we are safe ever anymore, we can hardly defend ourselves when we are like this." Jay retorted motioning to his body. "The only way I feel we would be safe is if we were normal again."
"I think all three of us feel like that." Cole responded trying to comfort him.
"Now you all know what I feel like!" Lloyd said throwing his hands in the air.
"Really? Why didn't you ever tell us that before?" Kai asked in disbelief.
"Because I thought you guys would think I was joking." Lloyd mumbled as he started to fiddle with his fingers and look at the floor. The ninja all looked at each other and back to Lloyd.
"Why?" Jay asked finally.
"I just felt like you guys wouldn't understand what I was feeling. I would always be watching you all run off and fight and you would leave me here all by myself to train. Training is all you guys ever let me do, playing videogames sometimes if I am lucky. Training can get boring and exhausting though, I need more action in my life." Lloyd explained.
"Wow, I never thought of it like that." Jay said to himself.
"We were just trying to keep you safe, as the green ninja, if anything happened to you, we would be our fault and Ninjago could possibly be doomed." Cole said to him.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm the green ninja so I am so important that I can't do anything." Lloyd responded irritated. The ninja all looked at each other again.
"You want to go on missions with us more? You did put up a good fight earlier today." Kai asked and Lloyd looked at them like he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"You serious?" Lloyd asked thinking they were joking.
"Sure." Jay replied.
"Yes!" Lloyd said jumping up and start dancing and making everyone laugh. Sensei Wu stood up.
"Students, I would like to talk to you. Zane you can stay here." Cole, Kai and Jay all looked at each other and followed Sensei Wu out the door.
"What is it Sensei?" Jay asked when they were all in private.
"I think it is time I gave this to you all." Sensei Wu replied handing Cole a thermos.
"What is it?" Cole asked looking at the thermos he held in his hand.
"It is called Tomorrow's Tea; it will return you all to your proper age. All you have to do is be exposed to the mist from it." He answered.
"Really?" Kai asked like he didn't believe him.
"What about Lloyd?" Jay asked, "Didn't we just make him really happy? What if us becoming older again makes him uncomfortable around us again?"
"That is for you to all decide." Sensei answered and walked out of the room.
"What do you all want to do?" Kai asked.
"Let's talk to Lloyd." Cole replied and they all walked out of the room, careful with the tea, and found Lloyd.
"Lloyd? We need to talk." Cole said when they found him. Lloyd looked at the nervously but walked over.
"What?" He asked.
"Sensei gave us this tea, and it is supposed to make us older. We were worried that you would feel left out again though, and we don't want you to feel like that." Jay responded.
"Yeah? What do I have to do with you all using that tea?" Lloyd asked with slight sadness in his voice.
"Well, maybe you could use it with us?" Jay replied unsure and getting a look shot at him from Kai and Cole.
"You would really do that?" Lloyd asked in shock.
"N-" Kai started to say but got cut off by Cole.
"I Think so. Yes."
"Want to do it now then?" Jay asked.
"Sure." Cole, Kai and Lloyd all replied at once.
"Ready?" Cole said raising his arm with the thermos in it "Three. Two. One." And he threw it on the ground making it shatter and mist to fill the room. Eventually the mist cleared away to leave them all standing there coughing. They all looked down at themselves.
"Yes!" Kai, Cole and Jay all cheered at the same time and Lloyd just remained in place staring at his body in awe.
"Whoa, Lloyd." Jay said looking at him and Lloyd looking up and running off to the bathroom. The ninja all ran after him.
"Lloyd where are you going?" Jay asked as they were running but got no response. When they got to the bathroom they saw him standing there staring into his reflection in the mirror.
"Whoa." Lloyd eventually said and brought his hand up to his mouth. "Whoa, my voice changed a little too."
"You done?" Kai asked breaking his moment.
"Guys, I'm older." Lloyd said spinning around to look at them.
"No really? I didn't notice!" Kai responded sarcastically.
"Let's go tell the others." Jay said.
"Yeah!" Lloyd exclaimed running down the hall.
"He sure does still act like a kid." Cole stated making them all laugh and follow him.
