Hello my pretties! I'm turning 13 this Sunday! Yay! But anyway, here's chapter 22.

Lloyd still felt guilty for making his girlfriend cry last night. That night would follow him forever. Kennedy looked so small and she seemed to get smaller every time he raised his voice. But she was still very young so Lloyd couldn't blame her.

But even so, Lloyd had to be more careful. He was growing up and beginning to seem a little more aggressive than he is already. The problem is puberty does its thing. And in Lloyd's case, it does terrible things.

Lloyd woke up in the chair. His back ached for sleeping upright. He stood up and stretched his arms and legs. Lloyd looked at the bed. Kennedy was gone. For a moment he thought she had snuck out again when the door opened. Kennedy stepped in with a plate of waffles. She looked at Lloyd.

"I made you breakfast."

He took the plate, hungry for waffles and munched on them. "At least tell me when you're gonna wander off somewhere out of my sight." Kennedy nodded. She walked out.

Lloyd stopped eating at stared after her. She didn't call him any of her nicknames for him. No Blondie, Butt-Face, Knuckle-Head, or Luigi. She always used one of those nicknames on him. Lloyd noticed something else. She wasn't wearing anything colorful today. Not even pink! There wasn't the slight shade of pink anywhere on her body. Just…gray. She was like a lifeless rainbow.

And worse, no ring.

Lloyd felt extra bad now. His fears turned out to be even worse. Did he mentally cripple Kennedy? Did he destroy all the light that had once lived inside her? He suddenly felt sick and didn't eat the rest of his waffles. "No…" he thought. "No, no, no!" Lloyd ran out of the room leaving his breakfast on the night stand.

Yeah. I know it's short but at least you got something from me! And to all you guys wondering when Normal Ninjago is going to be updated, it will soon. I promise. I just have to figure out what to do for the next chapter. If you have any suggestions or requests, please PM me. Another thing. I am going to try and take only a FEW OCs into Normal Ninjago. When I receive your requests, I will try to fit them into a chapter. If all else fails, then I will sadly have to cancel your requests. But at least you'd understand and know that I've tried and did my best, right? But anyway, if you have any suggestions for Normal Ninjago, PM me.

Have a nice first day of Fall tomorrow!
