At the palace everyone was getting ready for the fake speech they were putting up decorations and other things to make sure the palace looked amazing. Eveyone minus the ninja was making sure everything was good. Eveyone felt like they were stressed out and stuff making to make sure everything was good. Wu then turned everyone who was there.

"We are almost ready?"

They all turned to look at sensei Wu, they all had items in their arms after they had been in the final preparations, but of course they all turned to to face him as that would be the most respectful thing.

"Yes master Wu" replied the girls with pigtails, as she was setting down a box of decorations. She looked very please with herself and very happy.

Wu then began to smile and a slight nod, as he began to walk a few steps his staff in hand he was hunched over slightly but no one cares master Wu was him and h wasn't ever really a person you ever had to worry about and that was the truth.

"Good then let's hope this works" Wu says as eveyone nodded, Cloud who had been a decoration in her mouth set it down and was about to say something but she never got the chance as someone spoke first.

"I don't understand why they would fall for this" the cool voice of garmadon speak sending a slight chill down everyone's spine. You would think they'd be used to his voice but I guess that wasn't the case.

"Well we have to hope they do, or they will never get back in shape" nix says. As he was walking in and went to stand near cloud, the two dogs nuzzled teach other and then turned to the group.

"I just thought they would be smarter and realize what is actually going on, even if they are out of shape, and out of practice"

"Oh come on Garmadon, unless you have a better plan this is the best one we got" Mirage says as she gave a small smile as she stretched.

The older man looked like he wanted to refute and say something else and but they were all cutt off by nix and cloud who had ran towards the window sat the sight something that had been outside the window, and they were both barking at it.

The whole group headed over and looked out and saw what looked like the vechile they had rented to pull this off it looked like one of those sketchy cars from the  movies the ones you knew was the bad guys but the characters in the movies aren't aware even though all the warning signs are there.

As they are all looking down at the vehicle they noticed cloud and Nix are still barking and that was something they couldn't blame them for. They were dogs,  dogs barking is normal, it's  their nature. And even though they can talk and almost act human, they weren't dogs and dogs had insistics.

Soon enough they both calmed for and even so the two looked embarrassed to have been barking, and After they assured the two it was okay. And then they all turned and looked out the window.

"So that's the van?" Cloud asked as she was able to look out the window after. Opal nodded, as he looked out towards the van.

"Yes that's it, though I will say it looks even more sus that I would've hoped" she says as she keeps looking out towards the van.

Mirage nodded, "mother is correct, i mean look at the broken windows, and the scrapes it all screams horror movie vibes"

"I have to agree, something feels off about this, like really off I'm getting a bad feeling. Maybe we should just call this off" Cloud suggested.

"I'm sure it is fine, it's supposed to look creepy member, it's all for show"

"But what if it's really a creeper, I don't want Harumi to get hurt" Cloud tells eveyone.

Garmadon was about to say something when the door opened and there stood haurmi all ready in her attire ready for the performance.

"Is everything okay?" She asked Eveyone, no one spoke or said anything.

"Harumi I really think we should call this off the car out there looks really creepy, what if it's an actual creeper" cloud tells her owner.

"Cloud I promise you it's fine, you know I would never do anything intentionally that would put me in danger, I'll be fine"

She saw cloud get sad, and then she signed and then knelt down and petted her head in ressurance as she gave a small smile.

"If it makes you feel any better I promise I'll bring a dagger with me" she saw cloud looked happy at that and her tail started wagging.

She then turned towards Eveyone

"So are we ready?"

Hey Eveyone hope you had a great day, and happy Friday! :3
