This is the AU, where Ash gives Vania a tour of the city. I wrote this one about two years ago at most so it's not the best, but I hope you enjoy it.

Ash is a formling.

May 20, 2021 10:30 AM (first time that Ash meets Vania)

Ash was relaxing at home when there was a knock on the door. She got up to answer it and as soon as she opened the door, Ash was pulled into a hug by the person. "Cole, it's so good to see you again." The female voice said.

"Uh, hello there." Upon hearing Ash's voice, the stranger let go but got even more excited.

"Oh my gosh, you're Ash, Master Wu's daughter. My name's Vania and this is Chompy." She said, picking up a small dragon. "I flew here on his back."

"The others told me everything about what happened in Shintaro. I was also told that you really wanted to meet me."

"Yeah. Cole said you were sick with a high fever and your boyfriend Shade stayed with you. But you feel better now?" Ash nodded. "I wanted to ask Cole if he could show me around but he's not here. But where is everyone?"

"Everyone decided to spend time with their families today." as they were talking, Morro walked over to them.

"Ash, you were gone for a long time." He then noticed Vania, who ran up to him. Morro jumped back.

"Hi, I'm Vania. You used to be a ghost, but now you're alive because you jumped through a rift." Morro turned to Ash.

"Vania knows a lot about Ninjago and the enemies we've faced in the past. She doesn't mean any harm." Ash told him.

"Good to know. Are you going to show her around?"

"Yes, since the others are out. Tell dad I'll be back." Morro gave Ash a thumbs up. She and Vania then left. Chompy stayed to chill with Wu.

"This is so cool. Riding on the back of a formling. I'm sorry for knowing so much about you. Where are we going to go first?" Ash landed and turned back into a human.

"It's up to you." Ash said. She and Vania went to the shops before stopping at the Noodle House for lunch. "Just don't mention anything about Skylor's dad. She doesn't like talking about him. Vania agreed and the two walked in.

"Hello Ash. And you must be Queen Vania." Skylor said.

"You can call me Vania. And I'm not looking for special treatment. I just came here to enjoy some noodles. Ash is showing me around." Skylor seated them. As they were eating, someone was sneaking up on Ash.

"Hey, that guy is sneaking up on you." Ash turned around.

"Sup' Griffin. Where's Neuro?" Ash said.

"Aw man, I wanted to scare you." He replied. "Neuro is in the restroom. So, who's your friend?"

"Griffin, this is Vania, Ruler of Shintaro. Vania, this is Griffin, the master of speed." The two shook hands. "Why don't you and Neuro sit with us? I'll pay." Ash said. The four ate and parted ways.

"Now I want to meet every other elemental master." Vania said.

"Do you want to meet a really good friend of mine? He's an elemental master and used to be bad. But he and his brother have since reformed." They walked into the museum where Ash saw Krux walking around, making sure everything was in place.

"I should have known it was one of the time twins. That's Krux, but isn't he supposed to be old?"

"He fell out of a time stream and it made him young again. Krux is about my age. When you meet him, just shake his hand. Krux isn't a touchy-feely kind of person. And the only people he'll hug are Nix and I." Vania understood and they walked up to the twin.

"Hey Sandy." He turned around.

"Hello Ash. Who's your friend?" Ash introduced them to each other. "We'll it's a pleasure to meet you Vania." Sandy shook her hand.

"So, do you have your two aspects of time back?" Vania asked.

"Yes, but I don't use them often. So what is Shintaro like? And I'm sorry for what your father did."

"Shintaro is beautiful. And it's alright, I hope he realizes how wrong he was. But my father will never regain the throne."

"I can tell you still love your father. Things will get better with time. I promise you that." Vania smiled. So how about a tour of the museum?" Sandy asked. The two agreed and Vania was surprised that there were some things she never knew about. After the tour was over, Vania couldn't help but hug the twin. Sandy accepted it and said bye to her and Ash.

"This is awesome. Man, it's getting late. I should be getting ready to go home."

"It is getting late. But I have to stop at Borg Tower. If that's alright with you." Ash said.

"It's fine. I wanted it to be the last thing I see you before I leave." Ash nodded and the two walked into the building, and went up to the top floor. As soon as they stepped off, Nix tackled Ash to the ground and put her in a bear hug.

"BESTEST FRIEND! I didn't know you were gonna show up today." Nix said.

"We'll, your brother wanted me to bring this to you." Ash handed Nix his wallet

"I totally forgot about this. Thanks." Nix then turned to Vania. "And must be the ruler of Shintaro. It's nice to meet you."

"You too. Ash has been showing me around the city. I should get going." She and Ash left after a few minutes of talking. When the two got back to the monastery, Vania got to see Cole before heading home.

"Did she have a good time?" Cole asked.

"Vania sure did. And Sandy accepted her hug. Which was a surprise." Everyone then went inside to relax.

There you have it.
