Hey, everybody! School just started so it might take a while for me to add new chapters, but I'll update whenever I can so don't give up on me :)

And P.S. I had to change the rating due to future violent language and actions (thanks a lot, Garmadon)

Enjoy!

I gulped. Will he ever stop scaring me?

"Lloyd," Kai said into a walkie-talkie. "I need you to watch the students in room 803." Within a minute, Lloyd Garamadon – the Green Ninja – stepped into the room.

"Yes, Kai?" he asked.

He responded, "Keep an eye on them for me? I'll be back soon." And with that, Kai motioned for me to follow him.

Where is he taking me?! I thought as Kai lead me out of the room and down a long hallway. There were no doors except for the one at the end, and the walls were so brightly white that I had to stare at the floor to see properly.

"Here we are," Kai said, knocking on the door quietly.

"What's behind that door?"

"Sensei Wu." He must have seen the puzzled look on my face, because he quickly added "Once a student has completed the course – the one you just completed – in under five minutes, the must report to Sensei Wu to learn Spinjitzu. He'll be impressed. No one has ever done so well, well, ever."

My eyes widened with delight. "So I'm special now?" I asked with a grin.

Kai smiled back, just as the door opened. There stood Sensei Wu.

"She's ready," Kai stated.

"Already?" Wu questioned. "I see we have a fast learner. Please, step inside." I did so, with Kai right behind me.

Inside was a replica of the training course Sensei used to train the ninja to use Spinjitzu. "What is your name?"

"Julia."

"Well then, Julia. You have until I finish my tea to complete the training course," came the old man's voice from a chair on the sidelines.

I was in shock. What's happening?! Am I dreaming? Can we slow down a little? What am I doing? I want my mommy! Thoughts raced through my head – so many I wanted to voice – but no words came out. Unsure of how to begin, I ended up standing there like a loser as Sensei Wu finished his tea.

"Today, you have failed," he said. "You will try again tomorrow. Please go back to your training room."

Kai practically had to drag me out of the room. Finally, I snapped out of my trance.

"What just happened?" I asked him.

"You just repeated my first day of training to become a ninja." That's when I realized it: that was exactly what I did.

I felt my cheeks burn red hot. "Sorry," I mumbled.

"Don't worry about it. You'll get better at it over time." Then, he led me back to room 803 to train with the normal people.

As the days went by, the same thing happen: Kai took me to Sensei, I attempted the course (failing each time), and was sent back to my training room. Each time, though, I got better and stronger.

My relationship with Kai got better, too (yay!). As the days went by, we became closer and closer friends. Honestly, I think I was getting a major crush on him.

Then, one day, I got a letter from my mother:

Dear Julia,

This weekened is our 4th of July barbeque! Please come home to celebrate with us. Your father and I miss you very much.

Love,

Mom

I looked at the letter. Did my mother change her handwriting? I thought. My mom's handwriting was neat, and almost looked like a font on the computer. This handwriting looked sloppy and carelessly composed. After a while, I shrugged it off, assuming it was just her old age kicking in. Then, I got in the car to go to Ninja Training.

Don't forget to review! :)
