I finally got the song out of my head and followed the other girls down to the kitchen, where we had to grab the food to bring to the masters.
"Did you hear?"
I turn to the girl next to me, curious.
"Hear what?"
"There's going to be a ton of fights today. And a feast for dinner to celebrate."
Of course I knew this. But I had to play along. Nobody could know that Chen and I were working on this together.
"No, I didn't hear," I murmur, and she nods triumphantly.
I looked at my fellow Kabuki and saw one that I didn't particularly recognize.
She had black hair like all of us- but half of us, exception of me, had wigs- and sparkling green eyes. She was petite, around my size, and I knew I'd seen her around somewhere. But it wasn't here.
As we stood in line, waiting to grab the food for the masters, she turned to face me.
"I heard that song you were humming earlier," she whispered, "how do you know that song?"
What does she mean, 'how do you know that song'?
"I heard it around somewhere," I fib, "I must've picked it up somewhere and it popped into my head just now. It's nothing, really."
"You heard it somewhere? That very song," she replied, "that song you were humming earlier, I've only known one person who knows that song. And Lloyd said that only his older sister knew it other than him, and she's been missing for the past decade or so. Wait..."
I am thankful that someone hands me a tray of biscuits at that moment, because I was so close to possibly being discovered.
After all of the tournaments, there are major preparations for the feast.
I am invited into Chen's throne room, though, instead of being asked to help.
"We weren't able to eliminate any of the ninjas," Chen starts.
"I could tell," I retort, rolling my eyes.
"So, do you have any other ideas or plans, then, Miss Garmadon, or do I have to think of anything for you?"
"Sir, I did have an idea," I say, because a thought was forming in my mind right at that moment, "some people take fortunes to heart, right? And we're having fortune cookies at the feast? Lloyd was always one to follow what his fortune cookie says. So, if we send him a message through one, he might be easier to get to."
Chen just nods and I'm off.
