Realized that we hit 800 reviews; going for 900 now! First oneshot is yaoi. I also don't own the book mentioned in the third oneshot; sorry for the little spoiler I've put in.

*Hickey*

Lloyd gasped with surprise when he felt a pair of strong arms wrap themselves around his waist. But then he relaxed when he saw that they belong to a certain blue snake.

"Skales…"

"What?" the Hypnobrai chuckled, resting his chin on the blonde's shoulder. "Can't I sneak up to see you once and a while?" He then started to kiss and nip the human's neck, smirking when he heard Lloyd whimper.

"Skales, not here…what if someone sees us?"

"Let them watch…it's their problem, not ours." He then proceeded with the hickey.

*Showering Snake*

"Has anyone seen Pythor?" Zane asked his ninja brothers in the living room. "I need to see him right—" He stopped and turned to the bathroom when he heard Pythor singing inside. "Oh, never mind."

"Uh, Zane," Jay said to him nervously, "I wouldn't—" But the White Ninja didn't head him; he just went in anyway.

Pythor meanwhile was unaware of Zane's presence as he was too busy scrubbing himself with body wash and singing that song he heard Eurobeat Brony sing on Youtube.

"Diamond Dogs, Diamond Dogs

Living underground in a world of thunder

Diamond Dogs, Diamond Dogs

Do you think we care about the pain you're—AUGH!" He was cut off by his own scream when Zane pulled back the shower curtain.

"Zane, what the devil?!" he yelled, holding the curtain in front of his body. "I thought we'd agreed to knock before entering someone's privacy!"

"I'm sorry, Pythor, but Sensei needs to see you right away," Zane explained, unaffected by the snake's reaction. "It's urgent."

"Well, give me a few minutes to finish up first," Pythor snapped before grabbing a washcloth and slapping him with it. "Now get out of here!"

"Alright, alright! I'm going!" Zane then left the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

"I tried to warn you, dude!" Jay stated as Cole and Kai snickered.

"I apologize," Zane explained, "but it was so urgent, I couldn't even wait to tell him…so it made me forget about the whole shower thing." And the two snickering ninja completely lost it as they fell to the floor.

"Yeah, yeah," Pythor called from in the bathroom. "Laugh it up, you guys!"

*Understanding Elphaba*

"You know, Kai," Skales said to the Fire Ninja as he kept on reading Wicked by Gregory Maguire, "I think I'm starting to understand Elphaba."

"Who?"

"The woman in this book who comes to be the Wicked Witch of the West," Skales explained. "After reading Part One, I'm actually starting to understand what's leading her to be what she was. I mean, her mother commits adultery. Her father favors her younger sister over her. She wore a muzzle at a young age because of her biting rage. I mean, jeez! With a lousy childhood like that, it's no wonder she became the Witch of the West in the first place."

"You do know there's four more parts in that book, right?" asked Kai.

"I know, I'm just saying that a childhood like that could make anyone bad to the bone."
