It's winter break! ME SO HAPPY :D Too bad my teachers gave homework :'( Oh well. Here's chapter 20! :) It's a very awesome chapter, because of the beginning... You shall see. READ ON!

**December 24

I decided to get out bed today. When I got to the breakfast table, Lloyd and Kruthika had just finished making pancakes together, and were now putting the pancake stack on the table. I sat down, digging in like everyone else. Then I noticed the stares. Everyone was gaping at me like I was missing an eye or something.

"Good Morning," I said, then going back to my food.

"Morning..." everyone said in unison. I looked up again, making eye contact with each and every one of them, and their eyes told me they were all thinking the same thing: Is she ok?! Then I saw Jay, and he smiled a little. I'm pretty sure we all know what HE was thinking about. I gave him a small smile. Then the stares got even weirder. Nya even looked a tad bit jealous.

"Ok, what the hell is going on?" Amanda said, breaking the awkward silence.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well, for one, I've never seen you get over a break up that quick." Kru nodded in agreement. "Well, except Cole... but that was different. And then there was that look you just shared with Jay. Seriously, what the hell is going on?"

That was a good point. Usually, I'm still crying my eyes out in bed after a break up (not something I'm proud of -_- ). I guess I just felt like getting out of bed. And the look... well, I didn't want to spoil Jay's plans. "Umm... Well, uh..."

"I can answer half of that," Jay said. I saw him reach into his pocket under the table with one hand, and grab Nya's hand with the other. "I was going to give you this for Christmas, but I guess I can give it to you a day early..." He glances at Kai, who gives him a small nod, then gets down on one knee and pulls out the ring. Nya gasped, and her eyes went wide. "Nya, I love you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life -"

"Jay, let me stop you right there," Nya interrupted. There was a long pause. "Yes," she said finally. "Yes, I will marry you!"

Everyone clapped and started congratulating them, but I held back. It reminded me of Kevin... UGH THAT STUPID BASTARD! Oh no, I think I'm gonna cry again...

I started walking away to my room to hide the tears, and was about to open the door, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I whipped around, coming face-to-face with Kai.

"You're not ok yet, are you?" he asked. Instead of answering, I fell into his open arms. "Shhh. It's ok. I'm here for you." Kai was always there for me...

We stood there for a while, me crying into Kai's shoulder, when he said, "Do you think you can go out later?" Wait, was he asking me out?! "Our tradition on Christmas Eve is to go see the lights show at night, but if you don't feel up to it -"

I cut him off. "It's ok, Kai. I think I can handle it," I said, trying to smile. And I think I did... a little. But it was a start.

**Later...

"So we're going?"

"Of course we're going!"

"We ALWAYS go!"

"It's tradition!"

This is what I heard as I walked into the TV room. Everyone was talking about the Christmas lights show.

"Ok. We're going!" Jay said.

"Ok! So let's go!" I joined in.

And with that, we all got in my car (Yes, I still have it) and drove to the Ninjago Lights Show. Jay drove, with Nya in the passenger's seat. In the middle seat, Melissa, Cole, Zane, and Amanda were sitting. Kai, me, Kru, and Lloyd were crammed into the back seat.

It was one of those lights shows where you have to drive through in your car. It was really cool at first, but eventually, I got really bored. So I put my head on Kai's shoulder. And he grabbed my hand and gave it a small squeeze that made me feel jumpy on the inside. His shoulder was really comfortable...

"Julia?! JULIA?! Please, say something!" What just happened?

I opened my eyes and saw Kai still shaking me. "What happened?" I said, rubbing my eyes.

"Oh thank God, you're ok!" Kai whispered, pulling me into an embrace. Then I realized I was no longer in the car; I was on the couch in the TV room.

"What happened?" I repeated.

Kai's P.O.V.

I pulled away from hugging Julia and said, "You fell asleep."

Her face went pale. "I can't sleep," she said. "I've tried..."

"But you were asleep," I insisted.

Then she looked into my eyes, and I looked into hers. Then, she realised something. "It was you," Julia whispered.

"What?"

"You helped me fall asleep."

"You think so?"

She blushed. "Well, you were really comfortable..." I blushed, too. Damn, if only she knew how much I wanted to kiss her right then and there. But it would be wrong since she just went through a break up... Damn you, Kevin.

But I guess it didn't matter whether I kissed her or not. Because she kissed me. And when she did, I didn't hold back my feelings anymore.

Julia's P.O.V.

Wow. He was a really good kisser. And I finally realised why he's put up with me for this long. All this love and passion poured from his lips to mine in that one single kiss. I could tell Kai has been waiting for this moment for a really long time.

I can't believe I was so blind to believe Kevin was my soul mate. I can't believe how stupid I was. I can't believe it took me this long to realize Kai truly loved me. And the best part?

I loved him back.

Lord Garmadon's P.O.V.

Crap. They're together. I knew I should have tried harder to kill her...

Ok, I know what you're all thinking: IT'S ABOUT FREAKIN TIME THEY GOT TOGETHER! But trust me, this ain't over yet! Don't forget there's still a Garmadon to kill! (Hence his little thought at the end there...)
