Lloyd was bored. Completely and utterly bored.

You would think that after defeating the Overlord in the destined Final Battle, the green ninja would appreciate a chance to lay back and relax.

And you'd be right. Lloyd loved being able to kick back and take a load off. Having his mom and newly-reformed dad with him was the icing on the cake, and when they weren't around, he could hang out with his friends and his uncle. 

But after a week straight of doing nothing spectacular(aside from being hounded by a bunch of fangirls who apparently thought that he and Kai would make a great couple--ew! Kai was like Lloyd's older brother), Lloyd found himself completely bored. He couldn't even find joy in playing his favorite videogame or his favorite comic book. 

Lloyd sighed heavily as he stared up at the blue sky above him. "I'm bored," he declared to no one, seeing as he was the only one on the deck of the newly rebuilt Bounty.

The young teen sighed and rolled over onto his stomach, trying to come up with a way to do away with his boredom. 

Suddenly, an idea came to him. Lloyd gasped and flew to his feet, emerald-green eyes widening with excitement. 

Smirking, Lloyd raced to his bedroom(The ship had been rebuilt bigger than before so everyone had their own room, though there was still a room filled with bunkbeds in case they all came down with a case of nostalgia) and dug underneath his bed. He pulled out an old, brown back with a paper label that read "LLOYD'S PRIVATE KIT OF PRANKS: DO NOT TOUCH!".

Lloyd smirked. "This is gonna be fun..."

~~~~~

The next morning dawned bright and beautiful. There could not have been a better way to start the morning.

That is, until Kai screamed loud enough that people heard him all the way in Ignacia.

"WHO PUT GLITTER IN MY HAIR GEL?!" he roared, waking up all of his teammates. "WHOEVER DID THIS HAS EXACTLY TEN SECONDS TO CONFESS AND GET A LESSER SENTENCE! OTHERWISE I'M GONNA MURDER THEM!!!"

"Wasn't me!" Jay quickly piped up. "I like living!"

"Kai, calm down," Zane said softly, walking out of his bedroom to face the irate ninja. "I am sure that it cannot be that...bad. Oh," he gasped when he saw Kai. "I see...that is quite a lot of glitter in your hair."

"I LOOK LIKE THAT SPARKLY TROLL FROM TROLLS!" Kai screeched. 

At that moment, Lloyd(who had been listening from the safety of his room) couldn't hold back his laughter anymore and collapsed onto the floor, laughing like mad.

"LLOYD MONT-FREAKING GARMADON!" He heard Kai roar. "DID YOU DO THIS?!?!"

"Maybe," the green ninja replied cheekily, grinning from ear to ear. "I thought you'd look nice with pink sparkles in your hair."

"YOU LITTLE--!" There was a series of fierce knocks on Lloyd's door. "OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW, YOU GREEN PEST!!!"

"What's the password?" Lloyd said.

"LET ME IN!!!"

"Bzzzt, wrong."

"LLOYD!"

"Incorrect."

"LET ME IN OR I'LL BREAK DOWN THIS DOOR!!!"

"Wrong again. Sorry, you've used up all your attempts. Please try again in ten years."

"RAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!"

"Whoa, cool it, Flamehead," Lloyd heard Cole say. "Don't break down the door."

"LLOYD FREAKING PUT GLITTER IN MY HAIR GEL!!!"

"Oh no, what a tragedy," Cole replied sarcastically. "Just wash out your hair, the glitter will probably be gone after you shampoo really well."

"Actually, I put purple dye in it," Lloyd said.

"YOU WHAT?!" Kai shrieked. "YOU BETTER BE JOKING!"

"I am," Lloyd admitted. "....the dye's neon orange."

"Lloyd..." Cole scolded over Kai's loud cursing.

Lloyd rolled his eyes. "Kidding. I'm kidding Kai, the only thing I touched was your hair gel."

He heard Cole sigh. "Kai, calm down and go wash out your hair. Lloyd," he spoke, using his 'no-nonsense, I'm the leader' voice. "You are going to come out and apologize to Kai and then go and get him another thing of hair gel. 

Lloyd sighed but complied, opening his bedroom door and shuffling outside. "Sorry about your hair, Kai," he mumbled.

Kai glared at him(which looked ridiculous with his sparkly hair) and huffed angrily. "Yeah, whatever," he muttered. "Just get me a new thing of gel. And it better be the exact same brand!"

Lloyd nodded and took off outside, conjuring up his golden dragon to take him to Ninjago City.

Only once he was out of earshot did he dare laugh.

~~~~~

Lloyd expected retaliation from Kai for bedazzling his hair. Even forking over a ridiculous amount of money in order to buy a replacement tube of hair gel wasn't enough to completely put the green ninja back in Kai's good graces. So, he remained on the alert for any signs of retaliation.

When it happened, however, Lloyd wasn't prepared.

The green ninja had been reaching into a box of Poptarts, hoping that Cole hadn't eaten them all again, when he felt something that made him freeze.

It was cold, it felt scaly, and it was moving. 

Lloyd screamed and threw the box as far away from him as possible. 

The others came racing in. "Lloyd, what is it?!" Cole demanded.

Lloyd pointed at the discared box. "SNAKE!"

Sure enough, a long, black-and-yellow snake slithered out of the box, tongue flickering out almost as if it were annoyed.

Cole relaxed. "Oh, it's alright Lloyd," he said soothingly. "It's just a garter snake, they're basically harmless."

"I don't care! Just get it away from me!" Lloyd shouted, shivering. He had never been fond of snakes, be they humanoid Serpentine or the natural kind. 

Cole rolled his eyes and bent down, gently picking up the snake. "It's okay, little fella," he addressed the snake, escorting their little visitor outside. "Let's get you back where you belong."

"I wonder how he got in that box," Zane hummed.

"Yeah," Jay chimed in. "I thought Kai would throw the box away when he ate the last Poptart."

Lloyd started. "What the--KAI!" he yelled, turning towards the smirking red ninja. "WHAT THE HECK MAN?! WHY'D YOU PUT A SNAKE IN THE POPTART BOX?! YOU KNOW I HATE SNAKES!!!"

"Consider it revenge for bedazzling my hair gel," Kai replied, crossing his arms over his chest and smirking at the green ninja.

Lloyd pointed a finger at Kai. "You, my friend, have just declared war."

"Hah! Bring it on, Pipsqueak!"

"I sense that this will not end well," Zane sighed.

Welp, after a week of no WiFi, I finally got a chance to post this! :D

Well, since I STILL have writer's block for everything else, and since a lot of people requested a bromance fic for all of the ninja, I decided to write a small series of oneshots(or two shots, whatever), where the ninja get into a bunch of shenanigans and hijinks. And here's the first one. :D

Hope you guys enjoyed this! Next chapter will feature the actual prank war. :D
