On another day, after training, Jay decided to take Nya out for a walk around the forest. Usually both of them just stood around the city, but Jay wanted to bring Nya somewhere different, so he asked if she would like to just take a walk around the forest. Nya agreed, and then they both were off.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful. I would've never guessed a place like this would even be here," Nya said, as they were walking passed some forest trees.
"Yeah I know. I'm still mind-blowned by that," Jay replied.
Nya giggled, which made Jay blush, as he said outloud without realizing, "Nya's so cute when she laughs."
Nya's eyebrow raised, as she looked at Jay, who put his hand over his mouth when he realized he spoke outloud. After a moment, Jay lightly laughed, as he rubbed the back of his head and said,
"Heh heh, I guess I thought I was saying that in my head."
Then Nya smiled and said, "Aw, Jay's so cute when he laughs."
Jay was surprised, but then he smiled, as he continued to walk alongside Nya.
"Hey Nya. We've been through a lot together, haven't we?" Jay asked.
"Yeah, it's been a long journey," Nya said, and then she wrapped her arm around Jay's and said,
"But I've enjoyed it, especially with you."
Jay rubbed the back of his head and said, "Aw thanks. You know, I think the same thing, about you of course."
Nya smiled at Jay, as he smiled back.
Then they heard what sounded like shifting water. They both looked at one another, and then they sneaked over through the trees and bushes towards the sound.
When they looked out from behind some bushes, they saw one of the fountains that were in the forest. This particular fountain was very large and shaped like a rectangle, and there was a statue in the center of the fountain that had fish jumping up from the bottom, and birds flying up from the top. Near the front center of the fountain, closer to where Jay and Nya were hiding, Raven was standing on the water with her eyes closed, while holding her water staff in front of her.
"What is she doing?" Jay whispered.
"I don't know," Nya replied in a whisper.
Then they became silent, as Raven started to move. She started spinning while moving her staff around in the water. Then she jumped up from the water, as the water spiraled upward, as she spinned in the air. Next, Raven started to spin even faster, as she yelled out,
"NinjaGOOO!"
In mid-air, Raven started to spin in a dark blue and silver spiral.
"Whoa," Jay and Nya said, as they continued to watch.
The water spiraling around Raven, then converged with her spin into a large tornado of water. The water below was spiraling along with the tornado of water like a whirlpool. What made it more amazing was that the water was changing into different colors, as it spiraled upward.
"That's amazing. She's really got the hang of it," Nya said.
"Yeah, she's awesome! How did she learn to do spinjitzu like that?" Jay said, as he looked around and noticed someone standing near the fountain.
"Hey, Nya, look! Is that..." Jay said, as he pointed towards the side where he noticed someone was standing.
Nya looked towards where Jay was pointing, and then she gasped and said,
"Lloyd?"
Towards the left of Jay and Nya 's position closer next to the fountain, Lloyd was standing there in his golden and green attire looking up at Raven. He had a smile on his face, as he watched Raven use her spinjitzu with much precision and a decent amount of power. Then the water tornado started to slow down, and Raven was seen at the top, as she took her water staff and surfed down with the spiral of the tornado. As she did so, the water followed behind her down until she continued to surf in a circle just above the surface of the water. Then she jumped away and landed on the edge of the fountain. The water continued to spiral around until it slowed down and fell into the rest of the fountain water, returning to it's habitat.
Raven nodded and turned around, as she jumped down off the edge to where Lloyd was standing.
"Great job. Your getting better," Lloyd said, as Raven turned to him and smiled.
"You really think so? That's so awesome," Raven said, as she clasped her hands together and jumped up in excitment.
Lloyd looked at Raven with a soft smile.
"Okay okay. Your doing much better now, and with some more practice, I think you'll be closer to becoming a Spinjitzu Master," Lloyd said, as Raven straightened up and asked,
"You really think I'll become a Spinjitzu Master one day?"
Lloyd thought about it, with his hand under his chin. Then he put his hand on Raven's shoulder and said,
"I know you will. Your strong, and not just physically, mentally too."
Raven smiled widely, as she hugged Lloyd. He was a little surprised because of how fast she moved.
"Your strong too Lloyd, especially your heart," Raven said, as Lloyd smiled and stroked her hair.
"Aww," Jay and Nya said in unison, as they both looked at each other and smiled.
Then Jay took Nya by her hands, and they both continued to look into each other's eyes, lovingly. Slowly, their faces came closer together, until they actually kissed for a few seconds. Then they pulled away and both blushed as they looked away from one another. Jay held his hand to his chest, and Nya put her hand on her cheek. Although they weren't looking at one another through their shyness, their hands slowly clasped together.
Upon one of the cliffs from the cave wall stairs, Sensei Wu stood looking out at the view of Fountain Falls. He was keeping watch, and enjoying the view. However, he felt that someone was approaching from up the stairs to where he was, but they didn't seem like a danger of any sort. Sensei Wu turned to see that Misako was the one who was walking up the cliffside to him.
"Hello Misako," Sensei Wu said, as Misako smiled and said,
"Hello Wu."
Then Sensei Wu asked, "What are you doing up here?"
Misako replied, "I came to tell you that dinner will be ready soon. The Viporeons are making a pretty special dinner and wanted to make sure that everyone attends."
Wu nodded and said, "Oh, that is very generous of them. I will join shortly."
Sensei Wu then continued to look out around Fountain Falls. Misako looked down with some sadness, and said,
"Wu... I'm sorry about what occurred between us before. It shouldn't have happened."
Wu turned towards Misako, as she continued,
"Although Garmadon was evil before and tried to take over Ninjago, that didn't give us the right to just give up on him. Well, it didn't give me the right to abandon hope that he would return to me, and try to 'move on'."
Sensei Wu then signed and said, "Don't blame yourself so much. For apparently, I had also abandoned hope to believe that my brother would return to us. And that a future with you, would redeem my past errors, somehow... But my brother has returned to us, and this time..."
Sensei Wu became more stern in his expression as he said,
"We will never abandon our hope again."
Misako nodded, as she smiled,
"Right."
Sensei Wu nodded and turned to continue over-looking Fountain Falls, as Misako turned and started walking down the stairs.
As she neared the bottom, she saw Garmadon was waiting for her to return. She smiled widely when she saw him, as he did to her.
"So, is he coming?" Garmadon asked, as Misako answered,
"He said he'll be joining us soon. I believe he enjoys the scenery from up there."
Garmadon nodded and said, "Ah yes. Who wouldn't enjoy such a sight for sore eyes. This kingdom is beautiful."
Misako nodded and said, "It's like a master piece brought to life. All of the kingdoms are."
Then Garmadon extended his hand, as Misako looked at his hand and took it. They both walked away together towards the feasting hall with smiles on their faces, as they looked towards one another occasionally.
