(Y/N) was chuckling mischievously at the messy aftermath of the food fight and Kai couldn't help give her a love-struck look.
Jay rolled his eyes. "I can't believe you! Her boyfriend is standing right beside her, does infidelity run in your family or something?" Jay hissed disapproving at Kai's antics.
"Hu, oh Nah, Echo isn't her boyfriend and... Wait a minute... HEY!" Kai growled at Jay smacking in the back of his head.
"Wait! Go back to that first part." Lloyd demanded grabbing a hold of Kai and shaking him in a desperate attempt to get the answers he sought.
Cole was staring at Kai not taking his eyes off of him and Jay was doing the same as he rubbed the back of his head soothing the growing lump.
Sensei Garmadon studied all the present Ninja's faces and winced. This was going to be painful for all involved.
"Why did this have to happen now?" Sensei Garmadon reflected to himself.
"What? That (Y/N) and Echo aren't boyfriend and girlfriend?" Kai asked raising an eyebrow.
"How do you know?" Cole inquired, looking back up, thinking Kai was just trying to cover for himself.
"I asked around, turns out (Y/N) and Echo are just friends and bandmates." Kai answered.
"But Echo called her his girlfriend?" Lloyd questioned still holding onto Kai gi.
"Echo, had some kind of glitch that Cyrus Borg treated for him and it's not like (Y/N) understood what that word meant." Kai clarified for the team.
"(Y/N) is too innocent for her own good when it comes to social activities." Jay worried looking over at her.
(Y/N) was wiping some cream off of Snappa's head with a smile. Chokun was sinking his two giant fangs into giant ham sandwich beside her.
(Kai's P.O.V)
I can't help it every time I see her now I wanted to kiss her. (Y/N) is such a beautiful, gorgeously stubborn girl who needed a good romantic smooch every day for the rest of her life.
I let out a large lovestruck sigh as I watch her laugh mischievously at the mayhem she'd caused. I couldn't stop looking at (Y/N)'s alluring lips.
Sensei Garmadon cleared his throat I had to shake my head to clear my thoughts.
Sensei Garmadon glared as I shifted my seats I had been caught ogling my hopefully soon-to-be girlfriend and not listening to Sensei. Oops.
(Jay's P.O.V)
Her laugh is so pretty. So is her smile. And her eyes. And....pretty much everything else about (Y/N) is amazing.
She just had to be awesome. She just had to be smart. She just had to be funny. She just had to be... Everything I like in a girl.
I'm lost in my thoughts once again, It hurt me when Nya cheated on me with Cole.
It hurt a lot...
But (Y/N) had been there for me, with Zane, helping me through the dark betrayals of my girlfriend and best friend.
I need them both back in my life, I need to get Zane back and after I done that I'm just going to have to ask (Y/N) out.
I jumped at the sound of Sensei Garmadon cleared his throat. I gulped, staring wide-eyed at Sensei Garmadon as he glared I nervously shifted in my seats, I had been caught not listening. Not good.
(Lloyd's P.O.V)
I wondered about the sensations I was feeling. (Y/N) always made me feel safe, comforted and secure; as if she was the home I'd been looking for my entire life.
My eyes widened, filling with realization and determination I was beaming like a child who had received all their Christmas and Birthday gifts at once.
I felt your cheeks get warm, and pulled some of my hair over my face, hiding the blush.
I jumped at the sound of my clearing his throat. I chuckled nervously as he glared. Guess I should have been paying attention. Sorry, Dad.
(Cole's P.O.V)
An intense feeling of apprehensiveness overcame me. When I saw (Y/N) laugh, struggling not to smirk.
I suddenly felt very insecure when my gaze fell on (Y/N).
I couldn't face her, I couldn't face that expression of disappointment from her. It hurt more than the look of betrayal on Jay's face.
It stung that Jay thought that I had betrayed him for Nya...
I didn't even like her that way, I liked her as a friend and only wanted to support her in finding out the answers she needs.
Emphases on 'Liked' I've started to loth her very being. Nya cost me, Jay, my best friend and (Y/N) the only girl whoever made my stone cold heart beat again.
Sensei Garmadon cleared his throat. I shifted my attention back to Sensei Garmadon. I really needed some time to think and clear my mind. This was only going to get worse if I didn't. Sorry, Sensei Garmadon.
(Third Person P.O.V)
Sensei Garmadon winced again looking at the three other faces as they blushed heavily and look back down at the weaponised food smeared across the table.
It would take a miracle to keep this team together now.
Lloyd let out a small sad sigh. "What the matter?" Kai questioned the blond.
"When the Hypnobrai sent me away from their crypt. They offered to let (Y/N) stay but she had declined their offer saying that she was not one that turned her back on a child." Lloyd said but held back saying something.
"But you're not a child anymore?" Sensei Garmadon said patting his son on the head.
Lloyd nodded. "I can see that she happy living with them; a lot more happy then when she was living with us." Lloyd said sadly and the three other ninjas all pulled faces as Lloyd continued.
"When Jay and I went to see her to try and convince her to stay and help she was more concerned about getting them to safety. I..."
Lloyd was cut off by Cole. "You and Jay went to see her?" Cole gave Jay a glare.
"(Y/N) and I stayed in touch after everyone went their separate ways, Got a problem with that?" Jay hissed back.
"You two stayed in touch?" Kai questioned. Jay just shrugged at Kai's questioning. "We're on the best of terms we've ever been with one and other. Nothing wrong with that."
Kai let out a little growl but everyone seemed to ignore it. "Wish I still was." Lloyd sighed. Sensei Garmadon just stroked his son's hair. "I'm sure you two can still be friends." Sensei Garmadon said trying to comfort his son.
Lasha burst out laughing at Mezmo who had a whole turkey stuck in his mouth. (Y/N) shook her head and went to help Mezmo. The laughter had humours seen draw the other attention in the room.
Keeping them from hearing what Lloyd quietly admitted. "I don't want to be just friends." Lloyd mumbled to himself. Sensei Garmadon spluttered unsure of what to do.
"So what did (Y/N) say?" Cole demanded giving Jay a shove. Jay glared back at his former friend.
"Echo called in something 'His One' and (Y/N) will be staying on the island to look for Zane." Jay answered.
"His One?" Sensei Garmadon asked looking to Lloyd for an answer.
"I don't know what it is but the Serpentine made a huge deal about him wasting it saying that 'it could get him anything he wanted and he was wasting it on something that might not be here'." Lloyd answered resting his head on a clean spot on the table.
Sensei Garmadon looked at Jay. "He asked her to look for his brother, she agreed but they had to leave the island a go home where it was safe." Jay told him.
"Yeah, when I took Skylor to go get autographs from them all they were really angry about Chen's people walking around in Serpentine bones and skin and how offensive it is to them." Kai pointed out.
"What am I the only one who hasn't gone all stalker and snuck into their room for something?" Cole huffed folding his arms across his chest.
"I didn't." Sensei Garmadon pointed out with a chuckle. "Though I'm pretty sure half the people on this island have done it. They are a very popular band by the sound of it."
"Karlof did," Karlof said walking past. "They even sighed Karlof's Gauntlets for Karlof."
"See, others have gone to them to get autographs, no big deal." Kai pointed out.
"Kai, that not the point-Oh forget it." Cole grumbled not wanting to talk about it anymore.
"Are you sure you won't be staying?" Chen asked the Treble Makers. Echo shook his head and the four Serpentine turned their collective noses up at Chen.
The ninja and Sensei Garmadon watched intently. (Y/N) wasn't paying Master Chen any real attention though that didn't bother him.
"I'll be staying to play for the tournament, but the others will be going home." (Y/N) told Chen but she was more focused on Clouse who was hiding behind Chen.
"What's up with him?" (Y/N) asked nodding towards Clouse who tried to make himself smaller behind Chen. "Oh, Clousy Clouse is afraid of you." Master Chen admitted waving his hand dismissively.
"So he's smarter then the average idiot I encounter. Good to know." (Y/N) answered plainly not taking her eyes off Clouse.
The Serpentine were pulling faces at Clouse. Teasing him about his impending doom at (Y/N) hands.
"It's going to be all sorts of fun tormenting you, Clousy Clouse." (Y/N) bearing her teeth in a cruel smile making Clouse shutter. "Pleasent dreams." (Y/N) said laughing as she walking out of the cafeteria and back to her room followed by the rest of the Treble Makers.
"You're a dead man, Clousssy Cloussse." Lasha said burst out laughing as he walked past Clouse.
"We'll play at your funeral." Snappa chuckled as he closed the door behind them. Leaving Clouse with a horrible overwhelming sense of dread.
Author note: Did you spot the foreshadowing. XD
