I unpack all of the boxes by myself. By the time I'm done, it's midnight, & my mom's asleep at the counter. I'm not tired, so I sit down on the couch & turn on the Ninjago History channel. Right now it's a documentary about some sort of Serpentine war from 150 years ago. Serpentine… I had a Serpentine neighbor. She was okay. I change the channel to a Dimension Film & fall asleep as the sword fights & drama surround me…
"Mikael!" Wah! I wake up. The light is streaming through the windows. My mom is frantically searching through boxes. "Mikael, where's the droid?" My mom sounds frantic.
"Why do you need to find him?" I say while rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.
"If I don't return him by noon," my mom says "I have to pay for him. Those things are expensive!"
I groggily get up off the couch. Uh, my neck hurts. "Want me to go look outside?" I ask.
"Yes, I'll look down in the basement." she walks over to the basement door & goes down the steps. I pull a pair of flip flops on & step outside… into snow again. "Ah!" I yell as I jump back into the house. There's at least a centimeter of snow outside! Once again, in July! I notice tire tracks in the snow leading towards the forest. Maybe the snow's not that bad, I just need to prepare. I go back inside & look for better footwear. I give up after a minute. My winterwear is probably shoved in a closet underneath canned tomatoes. I'm not a good unpacker.
I settle on tennis shoes instead.
I set off into the woods, following the droid's tire tracks. As I get into the forest, the snow gets deeper. I start to wish I'd been more patient, & had gotten snow boots. I push on though. Apparently, wr literally can't afford to lose that droid. I see a glint up ahead, maybe it's the droid? I take off on a run. Partly to get the droid quicker & partly to warm up. As I approach the glade, I notice it's completely devoid of snow, in a perfect circle. I pause & kneel down. I pick up a handful of snow & drop it inside the circle. It melts instantly. Hmm? Altitudes & stuff, right Mom? I look up at the glade again, & see a woman! I can only see her from the back, & she has a hood on, but I can tell she's a woman. I can see her hands. She seems to be talking to something, is that…
*CAW
Ah! I look behind to hear wings rustle as a bird takes off. I look back at the glade & the woman is gone. The only thing in the glade is the droid. I step forward. Hm? Snow goes into the glade now. I walk up to the droid to check it out. It seems ok, better than before actually. All of the nicks & stains are gone! I try turning on the droid, but it seems to be updating. I lug it all the way home. So much work in moving!
(Tell me your theories! Sometimes I change my story to add in cool ideas I get from reviews. The droid IS bad news. This is in the normal world of Ninjago, by the way. Not real world or a.u. it's in the future. Dimension Films are like 3ds's but movies! No obnoxious glasses. The future! I won't be too scifi techy in this story, I want it to be relateable. Once again, please review and read some of my other content!)
