NINJAGO: Truth or Dare

XD

Chapter 4

"This is a truth for everyone," Lloyd announced. "Have you ever had a bad hair day?"

They were quiet for a moment while they thought. Then Jay spoke up.

"One time I got gum in my hair," he said. "It was pretty sticky and gross. I had to use mayonnaise to get it out..." He shuddered. "Anyways, not fun!"

"Ugh, that sucks," Lloyd responded. "The worst I can think of was back when I was at Darkley's. I woke up and several pieces of my hair had been cut really short. Took me six months to grow them back!"

"When I was fourteen, I was getting ready for Prom my freshman year of high school, and I totally messed up my hair," Nya told them. "Kai ended up cutting it, but I actually really liked it."

"I remember that," Kai said. "I have a bad hair day every time I run out of gel!"

Cole laughed. "I don't doubt that," he replied. "A few months ago, there was this one time where my hair was way too frizzy. I couldn't fix it, no matter how hard I tried. Luckily, I ended up wearing my ninja suit all day, so none of you noticed."

"Nice," Kai said. "What about you, Zane?"

"I have never had a bad hair day," the ice ninja answered.

"Lucky nindroid," Jay said. He drew a new card. "Kai," he read.

"Again?" The red ninja groaned.

"You have to call Skylor and tell her that people ship you and Lloyd," Jay finished.

Kai blinked. "They do?"

"You didn't know?" Cole asked. "I thought everyone knew about Greenflame!"

Lloyd looked down shyly so no one would notice his blush.

Kai thought for a moment before shrugging and dialing Skylor's number.

"Hello?" The master of amber said through the phone.

"Hey, Skylor," Kai greeted his friend. "I was calling because - well - we're playing a game of truth or dare, and I have to tell you that people ship me and Lloyd, so, um, yeah..." Kai trailed off awkwardly.

Skylor laughed. "I already knew that," she said. "I think everyone does."

Kai's eyes widened. "Really?"

"Really," she replied. "Anyways, sounds like a fun game you're playing!"

"It is," Kai agreed. "Zane ate Cole's chili, Cole kissed a turd, and Lloyd and I turned us all into ponies!"

Skylor laughed again. "Wow, this is the real deal, huh?"

"Yep," the fire ninja answered. "You can play too, if you want."

"I'd like that!" Skylor said. "Well, I've got some managing to do, but maybe I'll swing by later and join you, if that's okay?"

"Sure!" Kai said. "Okay, see you then."

"Bye, Hot Tamale!" Skylor hung up.

Kai turned to his friends. "That went pretty well," he remarked.

"You got lucky!" Jay said.

Kai smirked. "That's just how the game goes."

"See, you learn something new every day," Nya observed. "Like Greenflame," she teased her brother.

Kai blushed. "Moving on..." He changed the subject. "Zane, you gotta lick PIXAL's face!"

"Sounds easy enough," Zane said.

Nya flew the Bounty to New Ninjago City and landed it near Borg Industries. The six ninja dismounted from the ship and walked inside.

PIXAL saw them and made her way over.

"Zane! Ninja!" She greeted. "It's so nice to see you!"

Zane smiled. "And you, PIXAL," he replied. "You look wonderful."

The android leaned up and kissed Zane. The white ninja kissed back.

"I need your help," Zane told her.

PIXAL raised an eyebrow. "With what?"

"We are playing a game called 'truth or dare', and I was dared to do this..." He licked his girlfriend's cheek.

"Oh, my!" PIXAL laughed. "Well, I'm glad I could help."

"Thank you, PIXAL," Zane said. "You're the best."

The droids hugged each other. Then they waved goodbye and the ninja boarded the Bounty once again.

Zane chose yet another challenge. "Another one for Nya," he told them. "Go on a boat and sing 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat'."

Nya clapped. "I love it!"

After deciding that the Bounty didn't exactly count, she flew the ship back to Steep Wisdom, which had been back in business for a few weeks. She touched down and exited the ship, then ran to the stream where a small rowboat was docked. The others followed.

The water ninja jumped on the boat, untied it, and began to row.

"Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream," she sang. "Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream."

The other ninja cheered, and Nya slowed the current to a stop before reversing the flow and docking the boat.

"Nice work," Kai said.

"Thanks," she replied.

They all boarded the Bounty and Nya selected another slip from the hat.

"Guess who has to drink toilet water?" She asked playfully, looking at Cole.

"Why do I keep getting these gross dares?" He complained. "I guess this one's not so bad, though."

The ninja walked into one of the bathrooms.

"We didn't get a cup," Jay pointed out.

"Oh, right," Cole said.

He ran back to the kitchen with Zane, Kai, Lloyd, and Nya. Jay stayed behind.

The five ninja returned, and Cole handed the cup to Jay. The blue ninja filled it up with toilet water and gave it back.

"Bottoms up," Cole said, and took a drink. He immediately spat it out, right in Jay's face. "Eww!" He groaned. "Jay, did you pee in this?"

Jay snickered. "Maybe..."

"That's it!" Cole shouted. "Come here, you little turd!"

Jay bolted out of the bathroom, Cole hot on his heels. The others looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"This is the craziest game I've ever played," Nya admitted.

Kai nodded. "We're all still in, which means it's only just begun!"

...
