Ch.2: Reunion Party

During the party, everyone was having a great time, most of all Pam and her mother now that they are happily reunited. Ed, Edna, Lou, Dr. Julien, and Nya got along well with Patricia, Pam's mother who would tell them many stories about Pam and their life in New York. Whenever she gets to an embarrassing part of the story, her daughter would stop her with "Ex-nay on at-thay art-pay, Mom!" That caused them to just laugh at the sheepish blush on her face, but she just brushed it off with amusement.

"Your mom's really something, Pam," Cole said to her as they drank some Mountain Dew together.

"Yeah, but she can be a real handful sometimes," the tri-head replied, "especially when she has to put up with her students."

"Oh, she's a teacher?" asked Jay.

"High school English. And most of her students are Hispanics who think they 'don't need no stinkin' English'!" The ninja laughed when she said that last part like one of those banditos from the Wild West.

"Honey, just because they're doing bad on their tests," her mother said, "that doesn't mean you have to make a big deal about."

"Mom, you said so yourself that they're rebellious."

"I know, honey, but—" She stopped when Nikolai placed his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sure your daughter's simply stating that she's agreeing with you," he explained. "And if I don't know any better, I'd say you're overworking yourself." Patricia just blushed in reply but smiled.

"Eww," Lloyd whispered with a wrinkled nose. "Zane, is your dad hitting on Pam's mom?" Pam and the Nindroid sputtered and choked on their drinks in answer.

"Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon!"

"Hey, I was just asking. I mean, your mom blushed as his comment."

"Somehow, I can't help but get the feeling that your daughter's acting too much like you, Patricia," Kowalski said to her.

"Because she acts so motherly towards Lloyd like a big sister?"

"I be of de dinking dat it's her calling Lloyd of de full-y name," Julien corrected. "And what kind of a middle name is 'Montgomery'?" That's when Pam bopped him on the head with a throw pillow.

"Oh, don't you even start, mister!"

"Hey, watch de crown!"

"I take that Julien complained about her middle name?" Kai asked Kowalski.

"He even got a noogie for it," the penguin answered flatly. Everyone just laughed in answer.
