Sorry, as fricking always, for getting this out so late. I've been mighty discouraged to write fanfics lately. I'm working on a book, planning two other books, and planning out a rewrite for another fanfic. A lot right? Not to mention i've been debating to just scrap the sequel to this entirely, after months of planning for it. If I get enough support in the reviews or on tumblr, there's a good chance I will actually write it. The beginning of this chapter is gonna be slightly sad, but then it'll lighten up dramatically. (BTW, i was Madison-the ninja before. Also, I leave off without a authors note, but it's for a reason because it would make the ending seem kinda stupid. Enjoy the last chapter, being posted on the five year anniversary of the Ninjago franchise. Please review with any questions or constructive criticism!) (And this does kinda end abruptly, but I'll explain everything in the 'Next chapter,' which is pretty much just going to be a preview of the sequel and answering any questions!)

Madison paused. "Silver was acting a little oddly lately… Especially on the way here from Jamanakai."

"Do you think something was going on?" Kailee asked. Madison propped herself up with her elbow.

"I think so… I don't really know what it could've been though. He didn't have a virus or anything, but I'd rather not talk about Silver anymore." Madison speedily replied. She sat up, but Kailee stopped her from standing.

"You really should lay down. If you need anything, I can get it for you." Kailee stated.

"Okay, can I have a glass of water please?" Madison asked. Kailee nodded and walked out of the room.

She quickly came back, and handed Madison the glass of water.

"Thanks." Madison said.

"No problem." Kailee replied. "You really should try and get a bit more sleep though."'

"Yeah, I guess it probably would be a good idea." Madison set the glass on the nightstand, and laid down again. She quickly dozed off.

Madison woke up a few hours later, feeling much better than she did earlier. She quickly got up, and noticed that Kailee wasn't there anym

Madison walked out of Kailee's room, and saw everyone sitting in the living room, eating pancakes. They all turned around when they noticed Madison was awake.

"You're awake!" Jay happily said.

"Zane made pancakes for everyone!" Kai celebrated. Zane walked over to her with a plate of pancakes.

"They're not as good as yours though." Zane stated. Madison smiled, and accepted the plate. She walked over, and took a seat on the ground next to Kailee.

"You did a good job protecting Ninjago while we were gone," Kai mentioned. Madison looked over to him.

"You think so? I think it was just a fluke because I reached my True Potential when the snakes got here." Madison replied.

"That's besides the point though. We're wondering if you want to join the team." Kai asked. Madison froze.

"Haahaa… I don't…After everything that happened in these three days… It seems like it's a bit too much for me. Sorry." Madison apologized. Everyone sighed.

"I mean, I need to think it over more…" Madison added, trying to break the awkwardness.

"It's your choice I guess," Kai sighed.

"We should get you home soon, I bet your mom's really worried about you." Cole said. Madison froze.

"Ehhhh. People in Jamanakai don't really like me all too much… Silver… Silver was my friend over there. I'd rather be with you guys than back there." Madison set her plate down.

"So you're going to join us?" Jay excitedly asked.

"I guess I would like it more," Madison decided.

"We should be getting back to the Bounty soon, then." Wu said.

"Wait! I had some stuff I wanted to do." Madison exclaimed. She ran over, and grabbed her slip of paper with her plan on it.

"Some of this stuff seems like a bad idea now, but having a party with you seems like a good idea still!" Madison ripped apart the top part of the list. The ninja thought for a moment.

"I'd say you deserve it." Zane said.

"Where do you want it to be?" Cole asked.

"I guess, Jamanakai. It's pretty peaceful there, especially where my house is. The only people I can think of inviting are you guys anyways." Madison decided.

"Jamanakai it is then!" Lloyd said.

*(*)*

*The party has just finished getting set up, as Madison saw someone in the distance she hadn't seen before, and Jamanakai isn't a place where people usually visit.*

"You over there! Who are you?" Madison asked. The figure looked over at her.

"I'm Marco. You?" Marco asked.

"I'm Madison. I haven't seen you around here before, where did you come from?" Madison questioned.

"Nowhere I guess. I've been wandering around Ninjago a lot." Marco replied.

"So you don't really have a place to stay?" Madison asked.

"Not really I guess."

"Do you wanna, stay here for a bit? I can't promise the ninja will let you come with to wherever we're going, but you can stay tonight if you want." Madison suggested.

"Sure I guess." Marco replied. Madison led him over to everyone else.

"This is Marco," Madison introduced.

"Hi," Marco greeted everyone.

*they had partied for a few hours, ate cake, and generally messed around for a few hours*

Those were the worst four days of my life, even if I did get cake at the end. Madison thought as they packed up the party. But I'm sure I can handle any challenges thrown at me now. I'm ready for the next chapter in my life.
