Chapter Eight

"Jay," Cole read. "Eat mud with worms - all of it - and wash it down with toilet water!"

"Gross!" Jay complained. "That's just awful! I can't do it."

"Do you give up?" Lloyd asked.

Jay thought for a minute, then shook his head. "No. I'll do it."

Nya landed the Bounty in the middle of a field. All of the ninja climbed out of the ship. It had been raining recently, so the grass was all wet and muddy.

Jay scooped up a handful of the mud, complete with worms and everything. He wrinkled his nose.

"Sometimes I really hate this game," he groaned. The blue ninja took a bite of the mud. "This actually isn't that bad," he remarked. He bit into a worm. "Nope! It's bad!"

After about five minutes, Jay finally finished his handful of mud, gagging consistently. He bolted back onto the Bounty and ran to the nearest restroom, his friends following close behind. Jay knelt down and drank from the toilet.

"That's nasty!" Lloyd remarked.

Jay looked up. "Ya think?"

He finished drinking and selected a new challenge. "Zane has to punch Sensei Wu in the face."

The ice ninja winced. "I can't. That would be terrible!"

"More terrible than forfeiting?" Jay asked.

Zane sighed. "Fine. But I won't punch him hard."

He walked into Wu's room, the others close behind.

"Good afternoon, Sensei," Zane greeted.

"Hello ninja," Wu responded. "What brings you here?"

"Zane has to punch you in the face!" Lloyd chirped.

Wu rolled his eyes. "When are you going to stop playing that game?"

"When one of us wins," Kai replied simply.

"Go ahead, Zane," Sensei ordered. "I'm stronger than I look."

Zane lightly punched Wu.

"What was that?" Their Sensei exclaimed. "That was the weakest punch in the world, grasshopper! Try again."

The other ninja laughed.

"But Sensei," the white ninja argued. "I don't want to hurt you."

"Trust me," he said, "you won't."

Zane punched him again, harder this time.

"That was still awful," Wu teased. "But better. You pass."

Zane bowed. "Thank you, Sensei."

The ninja left Wu's room and gathered in the living room to continue their game. It was Zane's turn to choose the challenge.

"Cole, this says to be a ghost and touch the water."

"No!" Cole argued. "It hurts!"

Kai opened his mouth to respond, but Cole cut him off.

"I know, I know," he sighed, "I have to. Well, so be it." The black ninja shape-shifted into his ghost form and floated over to the sink. He turned it on and touched the water.

"Ow!" He screeched, cursing loudly.

His friends were trying not to laugh.

"You guys are evil!" Cole groaned, shifting back to a human and grabbing some ice for his hand.

"Sorry, Cole," Nya apologized.

Cole shrugged. "Eh. It's how the game goes." He used his uninjured hand to draw the next truth or dare.

"This is a truth," he announced. "How are you guys so awesome?"

Kai smiled. "That's so nice!" He remarked. "I'm probably awesome because of my awesome hair!"

All of the ninja laughed. Kai shook his head.

"I'm just kidding. I think we're all awesome...because we're ninja!"

"And ninja are awesome!" Lloyd added.

Jay looked at Nya. "Nya was awesome before she was a ninja," he said.

"Aww, thanks," she replied, and hugged her boyfriend.

Jay turned his gaze to the fire ninja. "Kai wasn't," he joked.

Kai flipped him off, causing Lloyd to laugh. The green ninja picked up a sock and threw it at Jay.

"Eww!" He groaned. "That's disgusting, Lloyd!"

Kai gave his younger friend a high five, and Jay glared at them. He then selected another challenge.

"Kai, you were dared to listen to 'Baby' for five hours!" Jay read.

"Ah, crap!" Kai said. "I hate that song."

"Who doesn't?" Lloyd asked.

Kai nodded. "Good point." He put on his headphones and played his least favorite song. "These are going to be the longest five hours of my life."

"Poor Kai," Nya said.

"He had it coming," Jay responded.

"I heard that!"

...

"Ugh!" Kai groaned as he took off his headphones after five long hours. "That was awful. I'm going to be hearing Justin Bieber for the next week. Heck, I'm gonna have dreams about him!" He shivered.

"Sorry," Cole said. "Anyway, it's your turn to choose a dare."

The red ninja reached into the hat. "Lloyd," he read. "Eat Cole's cake in front of him."

"Not again!" Cole sighed.

Lloyd winced. "I'm really sorry, Cole," he apologized. "I'll make it up to you, I promise."

"It's fine," Cole replied. "You don't have to. I mean, if it were anyone else, yeah. But not you, you're too nice."

"Why, thank you," Lloyd said.

Kai walked into the kitchen and found Cole's piece of cake. He handed it to Lloyd.

"Aww, I feel awful," the energy ninja sighed.

"Don't worry about it," Cole reassured him. "Cake will come and go. It's no big deal, really."

Lloyd smiled. He reluctantly took a bite of the cake. It didn't take him long to finish, as he purposefully are it quickly.

After he was done, he ran into the kitchen and set the plate and fork in the sink. He then dug around in the fridge before returning to his friends, carrying a chocolate cupcake.

"This is for you," he said, handing the cupcake to Cole.

"You're the best, Lloyd," the black ninja replied. "Thank you!"

As Cole ate the dessert, Lloyd fished for another challenge. He pulled out a piece of paper and read it.

"Nya, this one's a dare for you," he said. "It's a wild card. You have to dare any of us to do whatever you want."

"Sweet!" Nya replied. She was silent for a minute while she thought.

"Please don't make it something really bad," Kai pleaded.

She got an idea. "Everyone has to tell me - secretly - who they like. I promise I won't tell anyone."

Kai rolled his eyes. "That's such a girly dare!"

Nya jumped up. "What did you say?" She asked, standing threateningly over her brother.

Kai gulped. "I said that's such an awesome dare."

"Nice try," Nya said. "You can go first." She sat down next to him.

"Fine," he sighed. He whispered in her ear. "I like Lloyd, but everyone knows that."

Nya nodded. "Cool. Okay, who's next?"

Jay walked over to her. "I like you," he said quietly.

The water ninja smiled. "Good answer!" She stood up and approaches Zane.

"I like PIXAL," he told her.

She nodded. "Of course," she replied, and turned to Lloyd. "What about you, Green Machine?"

Lloyd blushed. "I...I don't know," he whispered.

Nya tilted her head. "You don't know?"

He shrugged. "I don't. I might, but..." He shook his head. "It's complicated."

"I see," Nya said. "Well, that's okay. Love is complicated."

She walked over to Cole. "Your turn, Cole," she told him. "Who do you like?"

Cole thought for a few moments. "I'm not sure," he replied.

"Do you still like me?" Nya asked.

Cole shook his head slowly. "I like you as a friend," he answered. "But I got sick of competing for your attention. I knew Jay had won all along."

"You're a smart guy," she remarked. "So, do you like anyone?

"I guess," he responded. "There's this girl I kinda know...I'd say I like her."

"What's her name?" Nya asked.

"Claire."

"Alright," Nya said. She raised her voice. "That's everyone. Now I know who you all like!"

...

I was just trying my luck with that :P

*WARNING: SPOILERS (season six rumor)*

If you didn't know, there are rumors that Claire, a character from one of the Season 5 sets, will be the new ninja next season. I don't know much about it, but she's wearing a necklace with the number 8 on it (a complete coincidence that this is chapter 8, by the way). Considering Lloyd had a green 5 on his shirt, foreshadowing that he would be the fifth ninja, and with Skylor and Nya as the sixth and seventh (I know Skylor's not part of the team, but still), some people think Claire will be the eighth. Just a theory...

My apologies to anyone who doesn't like the ships in my story. Everyone has their own opinion.

Till next time!
