Lloyd couldn't stop thinking about Willow. He sighed. He and his friends were in the break room while the kids went out to reccess.

"You okay?" Cole asked.

"No." Lloyd replied."I-I can't eat, can't sleep. I think I'm coming down with something."

"Yep." Kai chukled."I think you came down with a good serving of Love-sickness." He high fived jay as they laughed.

"What?" Lloyd asked."W-what... What do you mean?"

"Dude." Jay said."It's totally obvious you're falling for Willow. Congrats, kid, you're officialy a ninja."

"Oh, haha." He faked."No. I am not in love with Willow."

"That's what they all say." Kai said. Nya punched his shoulder."Hey! What was that?"

"Since when are you a love expert, Kai?"

"What was the question?" Kai smirked, rubbing his shoulder.

"Ugh." Lloyd said."You guys are wierd." Lloyd walks out of the room and into the hall. There was a knock at the door. He opened it. No one. Although, there was a note on the ground. He picked it up and read.

Dear Lloyd,

       Hey. It's me, Willow. Uh... Meet me behind Master Chen's Noodle house at midnight. Don't tell anyone and come alone.

                       Your Friend,
                                  Willow

Lloyd read the note over and over. What? Come alone? Tell no one? Midnight? Lloyd Folded the note and tucked it in his pocket.

"Lloyd!!!" Jay called from inside."Get in here! Kai's saying you should ask Willow on a date!!!" He heard laughter. Lloyd looked at the sky.

Can Willow be trusted? He asked himself. Why would she ask him to meet her? At midnight. Alone. A trap? No. She wouldn't do that. Would she? Then again, Lloyd barely knew her.

"Lloyd!!!" Jay yelled.

"Coming!" Lloyd ran outside, ignoring the thought in his head that Willow could be hiding something.

As Jay snored like a dying walrus, Lloyd sneaked out of their room and to New Ninjago City. It was actually pretty quiet at night. He walked down the alley to the area behind Chen's Noodle House. Nobody was there yet. He leaned against the wall and waited.

Footsteps.

He looked up and Saw Willow running to him."Lloyd!" She cried.

"Willow?" She took his hands.

"You have to get out of here! They're not to far behind."

"What? Who's not to far behind?"

"The Controllers." She panted, frantically looking behind her."T-They followed me here. I-I found out they were the ones corupting the tree-horns and I tried to take them on. If they find you, the golden ninja, They'll--"

"Hey!" Someone shouted. They whizzed around and saw four men, all of them vicious-looking."You!" The one yelling was reffering to Wilow. Lloyd released Willow's hands and stood in front of her.

"You want her, you'll have to get through me!" Lloyd used his spinjitzu and chased them away, the men screaming with terror. Lloyd Looked at Willow.

"So what is it? Why did you ask me to meet you here?"

"W-well..." Lloyd suddenly felt something hit the back of his head. The world started spinning and he fell."Lloyd!" Willow shouted. She screamed as someone stepped towards her.
