And by the way don't tell him I said this but I think Garmadon is a jerk-face :( And Kai is super sexxy :) You can tell him I said that... Just putting that out there...

Here is Chapter 6! Sorry it took so long...

Julia's P.O.V.

When I moved in with the guys, I saw that everyone had their own room (unlike the televised version of the show). Nya gave me her room and she moved in with Jay. Turns out things were getting pretty serious between them. My room was on the end of the hallway, right next to Kai's. That first night, everyone went to bed early – except for me. I just claimed to also be tired and went to my room.

I looked at my near-empty room. The walls were a bright, happy shade of turquoise, with white molding and a white ceiling. The closet contained all of my clothes, and I also kept my sword in there. Besides that, I had a white desk and chair, containing my only other belongings for the moment: an Ipod, a drawing notebook, a set of pencils and colored pencils, and a photo album. of my family.

Settling in the chair, I pulled out the photo album. There was a section for each one of my family members: my mom, my dad, my older brother (Brad), my little brother (Drew), and my two dogs. I looked at a happy picture of Brad, Drew and I before Brad went off to college. It was the only picture I had of us actually being happy – together. And now that could never happen again.

For hours I sat there, looking through the pictures. Suddenly, there was a knock at my door. I got up and opened the door, putting the book on my bed. "Hey, Kai," I said. Why is he here?

"Hey," Kai responded. "I didn't wake you, did I?" I shook my head. "Ok, good. Can I come in? I just want to talk."

"Sure." I let him in, sitting down on my bed and patting the spot next to me. He sat, and there was an awkward silence. Finally, I decided to speak. "So what's up?"

Kai's P.O.V.

What's up? What's up is I want to go out with you and I was dead when you were gone and seeing your face brought me back to life because you are beautiful. I really wanted to say that, but I didn't. That would just be too awkward. So instead, I said "Nothing, really. I just couldn't sleep." After thinking about it for a second, I added, "Why weren't you sleeping? It's almost midnight."

Jules took a deep breath and looked down. "I don't sleep anymore. I gave it up."

"What do you mean?"

She looked at me. "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes, I do." Why did she look so upset?

Julia's P.O.V.

I took another deep breath. I didn't really want to go into detail about my little "vacation", but I knew I could trust Kai.

So I spilled everything – from how if I didn't pass out at the training course then I would've been in the explosion, to stealing the mega-weapon, and I even told him about the dreams. Through every detail, Kai listened carefully. I teared up a little at one point, but quickly wiped them away. I didn't want him to see me cry. Finally, when I finished, he looked me in the eye.

"I'm going to be completely honest with you," Kai said. "It doesn't go away. It gets better, but you never stop missing them. The memory stays with you forever."

"Is that how you felt with your parents?"

He nodded. Then, not knowing what else to do, I hugged him. He seemed surprised for a second, but he hugged me back.

We stayed like that for a while, but eventually, we pulled apart.

"So is this what you always do when you can't sleep? Go into someone's room and talk about your feelings?" I mocked, smiling. He smiled back.

"Nah. Usually I make Cole read me a bedtime story about rainbows and unicorns," Kai joked. We both laughed.

Kai eventually went back to his room. Ever since that night, Kai always came into my room after everyone else was asleep. As it turns out, we both like running, so sometimes we go for a run into the darkness.

The next morning, everyone got up early to get ready to teach at the Ninja School. I "woke up" shortly afterwards.

I poured myself a bowl of cereal and joined them at the table.

"Are you going with us today?" Nya asked me.

I thought about it. Based on this past weeks events, I didn't really think I was ready to go back there.

"I don't think I'm ready yet. Maybe tomorrow."

On his way out the door, I stopped Kai, remembering my best friend.

"How's Amanda doing?"

"She acts like she's fine, but you can tell she's a little depressed." He paused, then added, "And that thing about her and Zane? Well, let's just say they have another date tonight."

I smiled. Somehow I knew they would be perfect for each other. "Ok, then. Tell her I said hi and congrats."

"Kai! Let's go!" I heard Cole yell from outside.

"Well, have fun teaching!" I said sarcastically, added an exaggerated smile and a thumbs up.

Kai rolled his eyes. "Yea right. See ya later!" He called as he walked out the door.

"Bye!"

I watched the Ultra Sonic Raider drive away, then I went to my room.

Awww. You and your fire freak are soooo cute together! came a disturbing voice from inside my head.

Garmadon. I had forgotten all about the stupid mind communication.

Me: What do you want?

Garmadon: To kill you. Smart shit. And they wanted to make you a fucking ninja...

Me: They might still make me a ninja, dumb ass.

Garmadon: Not with your powers, they won't.

I thought about this. What powers am I supposed to have besides having his voice in my head forever?

Me: And what exactly are these powers, Mr. Know-It-All?

Garmadon: *Laugh* Being near each ninja will unlock your new ability to channel each element. But it's not like a stupid mortal like you can control these powers, so you'll just die a slow, painful death instead. And since you like that candle-stick, you'll probably burn to death.

Me: Kai is NOT a candle-stick!

I realised too late that it made me sound like I had a crush on him. Crap. Just another thing for him to annoy me about.

Garmadon: Compared to that HUGE explosion he is.

Me: Fuck off. And why the hell did you blow up a whole FREAKIN city?!

Garmadon: To stop THIS conversation from happening.

Me: Wait... You knew this would happen?!

And with that, he stopped responding.

Me: Wow. How did Lord Garmadon know that would happen?

Julia: Cause he's a BITCH.

Me: WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE MISSY!

Julia: Whatever.

Me: That's what I thought... Now it's time to review!
