Only two weeks and a day (not counting today) until my birthday. Anyway, just wanted to give you the heads-up that the second oneshot is another ninja/Serpentine yaoi, so feel free to skip it if you're not comfortable with it.

*Hot Wings*

The ninja and Serpentine were holding up a picnic party in the park as part of the celebration of the founding of Ninjago City. The ninja's families were there too, including Cole's father.

At one of the buffet tables, Skalidor couldn't help but check out the wings: teriyaki; buffalo; barbeque…even those hot wings look pretty tasty. Cole noticed this as he was bringing in a bowl of potato salad.

"Skalidor?" he then said to the Constrictai. "If you're going to try one of those hot wings, then be careful. They're so hot; they'll feel like a hot coal lathered with lava in your mouth."

"Nah, I'm sure it can't be that hot," Skalidor replied with confident shrug. He then took one of the hot wings and popped it into his mouth. Bad idea…

"AUUGGH!" he cried, his entire head red as steam shot out of his nostrils like a couple of teapots. "HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT!" She then sped past Pythor and the other Generals, causing them to watch after him with surprise before he stuck his head into the water basin of the fountain nearby. The four Generals turned to Cole with wide eyes.

"What?" he asked with a shrug. "I warned him about the hot wings." Skalidor stuck his head up out of the water, steam billowing out of his mouth.

"I wondered why Jay asked me to bring the blue cheese dressing," Acidicus said, looking down at the dressing bottle in his hands.

*Keeping Warm*

Zane shuddered a little as Skales brushed the fallen snow off of the bench. Although it had just started snowing about five to ten minutes ago, the Nindroid couldn't help but feel chilly. Probably from the winter air flowing through the park.

"What's wrong, Zane?" Skales asked, giving his fellow Attribute a concerned frown when he turned to him. "Are you cold? You're shivering."

"Yeah," Zane answered, rubbing his arms to keep warm. "Even though I am wearing my coat and scarf, I'm still freezing my gears off. And Ice is supposed to be my Attribute. I'm surprise that you can handle the cold when you're a reptile." Skales chuckled in reply.

"Well, when you've been locked away inside of a tomb in the Frozen Mountains for as long as I have," he explained, "you learn to tolerate it that you barely even notice the cold." He then thought of something. "I think I have an idea on how to warm you up more." He then laid his body across the bench and backed up against it the best he could. Then he patted at the spot in front of his waist to indicate to Zane where to sit. Getting the idea, the White Ninja sat down on the spot on the bench and held still as Skales wrapped his tail around his waist and down around round his legs.

"Does that feel better?" the Hypnobrai then asked.

"A little," Zane answered, "but I'm still a little cold at the upper body." Skales smiled before wrapping his arms around him and giving him a gentle hug.

"How's that?" he purred.

"Much better," Zane replied, resting his head into his scaly shoulder and against his hood. Skales simply smiled down at him before pressing his lips against the Nindroid's forehead.

*Made Ya Look (sequel to Telescope)*

"You sure it's a good idea?" Acidicus asked as he sets up the telescope.

"Trust me," Skales answered. "It'll be so good; you'll be laughing your head off." He then looked into the telescope until he got it aiming at a familiar couple he knows very well: Lloyd and Elaine. As he was checking it out, he saw Cole coming up to them.

"Oh, this is just cute," Skales cooed to Acidicus as he then looked into the telescope. "Lloyd and Elaine are making out." Cole looked up in reply.

"Aw, I trust Lloyd," he replied with a wave. "He's got a crush on her since she came here, so he'd never do anything to hurt her."

"Whoa, boy!" Skales suddenly said with a bit of worry in his voice. "They just went from Step 2 to Step 5 in a matter of seconds!"

"WHAAAT?!" Cole rushed over and pushed the Hypnobrai aside before looking into the telescope. Through it, he saw that Elaine was just talking with Lloyd and laughing at his jokes.

"What the—"

"Made ya look!" Cole turned to Skales and Acidicus as they started to laugh their heads off at the Black Ninja's reaction.

"Omigosh, Skales!" the Venomari laughed as he clutched his sides. "You were right; that was just hilarious!"

"You should've seen your face, Cole!" Skales laughed, pointing at the flushed Black Ninja. "The whites in your eyes were practically the size of dinner plates!" They stopped laughing when Cole took out his scythe.

"You are SO dead meat…" He then started chasing Skales as he dashed down into the Bounty.

"Cole, hold on! It was just a joke!"

"Maybe playing that joke on Cole wasn't the best idea," Acidicus said with a sweat-drop.
