Challenge: Lloyd back before the Tomorrow's Tea, demanding a bedtime story from whichever ninja you choose.
Zane's monitor beeped and the little clock on the dresser chimed midnight, Cole looked up at the creaking of floor boards. There, in black PJ pants and a snarling skull shirt sagged Lloyd a little pout on his face and a book clutched in both hands. Cole whispered at him, "What are you doing awake?" Lloyd made a face and stuck out the blue book. Cole raised two black eyebrows. "No." Lloyd countered, "Yes!" On the other side of the room Jay muttered in his sleep. Cole frowned, "Go away!" His voice a fierce whisper. "No!" He gave the little kid an 'I'm bigger then you' look. "Go to bed!" Lloyd sniffed, "But uncle Wu is out!" There was an irritable sigh and Kai threw a pillow, "Shut up!" There was creaking and covers shifted as the red ninja shoved his other pillow over his face and repositioned in his bunk. "Too bad. You can sleep without a story." Cole whispered unsympathetic. Lloyd's face screwed up ready for a lot of very loud tears. Cole jumped from bed and pushed the kid out the door. "Fine!"
Lloyd snored in his green covers, Cole looked on with a smile despite himself. Wu's voice made him start. "Been busy while I was away?" Cole flushed, "Nah! I just can't do tears." Wu raised a white eye brow. He knew. "It is wise to show love to one while a child, so that child may show love to another someday." Cole scrunched up his nose and shook his head then walked to bed.
