Who looked at the list of the main story and pointed out a problem with the Garmadon X (Y/N) X Wu ending.


This lead to a cute story about a young Morro and (Y/N) to being longer and adapted to solve the problem :D



(Third Person P.O.V)

____ The Past ____



(Y/N) gently sat Morro down on her lap after noticing how quiet he was like this. Morro still looked rather scared and frightened. She wanted to reassure the small boy that everything was going to be fine.



Garmadon sat on the now free seat next to (Y/N)'s right side. Cautiously Garmadon took (Y/N)'s hand in his own to inspect the birthmark up close. He ran his hand over the birthmark running along the length of her forearm.



"I promise," Garmadon said looking back up at (E/C) eyes. "You don't need to worry. I'll take care of everything for you (Y/N). So just tell me what you need."



Garmadon then brought the hand to his mouth and placed a feathery light kiss to it. (Y/N)'s eyes widened impossibly big and Garmadon's blush went ten times brighter.



As much as his heart was hammering right now he needed to take care of the person in front of him.



"Sensei." Morro called out and (Y/N) let him go. Unfortunately, Morro hit the plates of food as he scuttled over to his beloved Sensei as quickly as his legs would take him as the young Sensei Wu swiftly walked into the room.



Morro quickly throwing himself at his Sensei, wrapping his arms tightly around his Sensei's waist to rub his face into his side.



(Y/N) chuckled slightly with a small smile on her face. It did her good to see Morro especially when the boy was happy. Even if it was at the cost of herself being covered in spilt food now soaking her clothing.



"Oh dear." Garmadon said grabbing for something to help dry her off. "Sorry (Y/N)." Morro called out to her. "It's ok Morro. It was an accident." (Y/N) responded with a smile.



"Oh no have we had an accident." Chen said walking into the room and spying the mess.



"Oh I know, Lord Garmadon, why don't you take (Y/N) to the indoor onsen while I have the kabuki clean her clothing." Chen offered with a cheeky smile on his face.



Both Garmadon and Wu went bright red at the mention of an onsen. "What's an onsen?" (Y/N) asked Garmadon.



"An onsen is a hot spring/bathing facility. Where people are required to wear swimsuits, yugi or yuami-gi, which are specifically designed for bathing." Garmadon explained to her his face still slightly burning.



"Hot spring? Bathing facility?" (Y/N) asked completely confused by these terms she'd never heard of before. "I don't think those exist where I'm from?"



"We just swam around in lakes, rivers or ponds if we wished to clean ourselves." (Y/N) disclosed to the Lord.



"Think of it as a heated indoor pond." Master Chen revealed to the confused outsider.



"Heated indoor pond." (Y/N) repeated to herself as she tried to pitcher it in her mind.



"I'm sure you'll enjoy it I'll have some of my kabuki's send yuami-gis and towels to the onsen for you." Master Chen offered his cheeky skimming grin getting wider.



"Do you lot wish to participate?" (Y/N) asked the others. "Okay!" Morro chirruped a wide grin now on his face. Garmadon and Wu both chuckled at the child's excitement.



(Third Person P.O.V)

____ The Past ____



(Y/N) steeped out of the changing rooms wearing a simple grey yuami-gi and a towel dangling over her shoulders like a shall.



Morro led the way to the onsen retracing the way back from when his Sensei had walked him there before letting him wait for (Y/N). This onsen had some sort of piped music playing from somewhere behind the paper screens and a small gushing waterfall at the end.



Whilst (Y/N) stood at the edge of the onsen dipping her tiptoes into the water to test the temperature a small hand gripped her side as Morro peered into the onsen.



"It's warm." (Y/N) commented turning to Morro, who was lifting up his arms expectantly. The green yugi he was given was so big it was always in danger of sliding off his shoulders, but bowing to Morro's whim she lifted him up and carried him into the bath.



They were soon joined by Lord Garmadon who was wearing a black yugi while Wu was wearing a straw coloured yugi.



"Nice to see you both enjoying yourself." Wu chuckled as he stepped into the heated water and found a place to sit.



Judging by the look on both (Y/N)'s and Morro's faces he could leave them there for hours if he wanted to and they would still be as happy as they were now.



Morro's eyes watched transfixed on the cascading waterfall. He smiled up at (Y/N), as though he had just been given the best present in the world. "Can we go sit under the waterfall?" Morro asked (Y/N).



(Y/N) nodded to Morro and slowly swam after the boy. Both Wu and Garmadon smiled as they watched her follow the excited Morro, only both brothers witnessed something that made their smiles falter.



The colour draining from the brothers faces. As they stared at (Y/N)'s back, eyes fixed there. All they could see were scars rupturing the skin on the girl's back.



They looked old, though how such scars could be old on such a young person's back was something that was beyond comprehension.



Wu pulled his hands over his mouth just to be safe. Garmadon clenched his teeth and fists tightly, anger rising up in him.



Both brothers shared a look, asking the other if they knew, or how they should approach the subject.



"Sensei?" Morro called out the younger spinjizu master. His gaze snapped back to Morro. "Sensei look." Morro called out again from underneath the small waterfall.



"Having fun, Morro?" (Y/N) asked smiling again and making small waves with her hand. Morro giggles and made a splash as he leapt back into the heated water.



"Morro, this is for relaxation not playing." Wu instructed his young pupil. "Oh, Wu don't ruin their fun." Garmadon scolded his brother and playfully splashing Wu with water.



Wu went to object and caught some water in his mouth. Morro and (Y/N) stifled a laugh.



The four frolicked in the water together enjoying the time together, time passing them by.



"Morro, (Y/N). It's time to get out." Wu called to the pair. "Come lunch is waiting for us, and (Y/N) your clothing has been cleaned." Garmadon added, hoping to sway the stubborn pair out of the water.



Morro sighed, knowing he wasn't going to win and reached his arms up, waiting for (Y/N) to lift him out of the water and carry him back to the dressing rooms.



Soon, (Y/N) was dressed in her newly cleaned clothes and taking special care in drying Morro's hair, he seemed rather pleased with, his messy and damp hair getting such a loving treatment from (Y/N).



"You're a good boy Morro." (Y/N) said as she finished drying his hair.



She was about to stand up before she felt a hand pulling her back down. It was a small fist tugging at the front of her clothing. She sat back down again, surprised when Morro climbed onto her lap and tried wrapped his arms around her back.



(Y/N) froze confused as to why Morro wanted a hug until he ran a hand over (Y/N)'s back and had to repress a shudder.



(Y/N) realised that he must have noticed the scars on her back and was trying to comfort her.



"It's okay, Morro. I'm sorry if my scars scared you." (Y/N) apologised giving this precious child a hug.



"I forget that humans are more prone to fearful actions." (Y/N) continued to apologise to the young Master of Wind.



"No!" Morro declared pulling out of the hug, placing both hands on (Y/N)'s face, gazing into her eyes with such seriousness, "Don't be stupid! Don't be sorry." he pouted a little, sadness seeping into his gaze. "Please don't be sorry. Don't be sad, please."



(Y/N) managed to smile a little. "Not ever, Morro? Not even a little?" (Y/N) teased and Morro thought for a minute, "Okay. But only sometimes. Not all the time." Morro compromised his smile growing a little.
