This one is Ninjago, YAY! the concept is that the ninja meet each other when they were kids, I think It's pretty fun to think about the ninjas as little kids, and I had a lot of fun writing it, so enjoy.
the ages of the ninjas are as follows
Kai = 5 1/2
Nya = 4
Jay = 4
Cole = 6
Zane = technically like 6 but he looks and acts like a 13 year old
Disclaimer: I do not own Ninjago or any of the characters associated with it, that honor belongs to Lego (Thank you Lego, we love you)
========================================================
Chapter 1: ninjago city
Zane’s POV.
It was an ordinary day, my father and I had been inventing when he started to put away the tools and told me to go get in the car.
“Where are we going father?” I asked him as I started up the stairs.
“To ninjago city, an inventor friend of mine is going to be there today and he called to see if I wanted to have coffee and catch up” he told me, I was confused so I asked
“Catch up on what father?”
“Catch up with each other, you know see what each other have been doing recently” my father explained. That clarified things, they were going to talk, and I was going to be bored. We got in the car and started driving towards ninjago city, my falcon friend was flying low behind the car, I had built him with the help of my father and he was now my best friend. I watched the snow fall peacefully until we left the birchwood forest, than the city came into view and I started getting very excited, it wasn't very often that I got to go to ninjago city so I couldn't wait to get there, even if I only got to sit and listen to my father talk to his friend.
Jay’s POV.
“Come on Edna, were gonna be late” my dad called to my mom from the front seat of our jalopy, I stood up from the back seat and leaned over my dad's shoulder to ask
“Be late for what dad, I thought we were going shopping?”
“Yes son but first we are going to meet a friend of mine for coffee” my dad explained to me. I sighed and settled back into my seat, this meant that instead of exploring the city I would have to sit and listening to my dad and his friend talk, but I was still super excited because this was my first time going to ninjago city. Finally my mom got in the car.
“I found it” she said and then plopped an old leather helmet and goggles on my head. I thought they made me look like a spaceman, so I pretended to be Fritz Donegan as we drove out of the junkyard towards ninjago city.
Kai’s POV.
I stood on a stool at my dad's side watching the metal in the furnace turn red as it got hot, when it was hot enough my dad pulled it out of the furnace and started pounding on it with a hammer to finish shaping it into the blade of a sword, than he dunked it into a barrel of water. I was fascinated by what my dad did, one day I wanted to be a blacksmith too. My dad then hung his apron up on a hook and turned to me.
“I have to go into ninjago city to pick up some more metal, you want to come help me out buddy?” He said with a smile and ruffled my hair.
“Sure thing dad” I said, then mom walked into the room holding my little sister Nya, mom put her down and she ran over to me and dad
“Well it's been pretty slow today, why don't we close up shop for the day and make it a family trip” My dad said while he scooped Nya up in his arms.
“Make what a family trip?” My mom asked him
“I need to go to ninjago city, I just thought you could all come along” he said and my sister started bouncing in his arms
“Yeah, yeah daddy let's go to ninjago city” Nya shouted, she always got excited when we went to ninjago city, she hadn't been there as many times as I had. My mom agreed and we all got in the car set of for ninjago city.
Cole’s POV.
I felt like my legs were about to fall off, my dad had been trying to teach me a dance move for the past two hours, which is why I was relieved when he finally stopped drilling me and said.
“Cole, I need to go into ninjago city to run some errands, do you want to come?” I shrugged
“Sure” I said, it was better than dance class anyway, even though all I would get to do is follow my dad around as he ran errands. I had been to ninjago city lots of times for dance competitions so it didn't exactly thrill me to go there anymore, but if it meant I didn't have to dance or stay home and be bored than I was in. I hopped into the sidecar of my dad's motorcycle and strapped on my helmet. My dad revved the engine and we were on our way to ninjago city.
Chapter 2: Old friends and new friends
Zane’s POV.
We arrived in ninjago city and found a parking spot not to far from the coffee shop, Falcon landed on my shoulder as I followed my father down the street. I was busy looking around at all the colorful excitement around me when I heard my father say
“Aiden?” I looked in the direction he was looking and saw a man and woman walking with two small children. My father then raised his hand to wave and yelled a little louder
“Aiden, Kailona!” The people my father was apparently talking to, didn't seem to notice, so my father started across the street towards them and I of course followed him. When we were on the other side of the street my father called the man's name once more and this time the man turned around to see us.
“Doctor Julian?” The man said, he motioned for his family to stop as we caught up to him. My father shook the man's hand and the man asked
“Julian, what are you doing here”
“Meeting with an old friend, but I didn't count on meeting two old friends, or should I say three” my father said turning to the woman and giving her a hug, we were then introduced to the children Kai and Nya. The man looked at me.
“And who is this handsome lad over here, I don't remember you having a son when I last saw you?” The man said, turning toward my father as he spoke. My father put a hand on my shoulder (the one not inhabited by Falcon) before saying.
“This is Zane, my most sophisticated invention yet”
“Ah I see, a robot” the man said turning to face me again
“Not just a robot” my father said, looking offended. “But my greatest accomplishment and my son”
“My mistake, it's nice to meet you Zane” he said, extending a hand toward me, I put out my hand to shake his and said.
“It's a pleasure to meet you too sir” my father then invited them to come have coffee with him, they accepted and we all walked back across the street to the coffee shop.
Jay’s POV
I was getting bored of waiting in the coffee shop, my mom had ordered me a scone but I already ate it, now I was breathing on the glass window and drawing with my finger. I turned around when I heard the bell on the door ring, I saw a man with white hair, and a teenage boy walk toward our table great, no one my age to play with I thought, I was about to go back to my drawing when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a little girl with black hair and a pink dress, she was the prettiest girl I had ever seen, all I could do was stare at her. I heard the man with white hair introduce the girls parents, than my mom asked the kids what their names were.
“I’m Kai and this is my little sister Nya” said a boy who looked a little older than me. Nya that was a pretty name. Then my mom gestured toward me and said
“This is our son Jay, say hello Jay” Nya was looking at me, this was my chance, I smiled and said
“Hello Jay” it worked! She laughed, and so did her brother, maybe this wouldn't be so boring afterall.
Nya’s POV
I liked Jay, he was funny, and his shirt was blue, which is my favorite color. me and Kai sat down next to him at the table, so did Zane. we had a lot of fun talking and playing, then Jay said.
“How old are you guys?”
“I’m five and a half” Kai answered him, than I said
“I’m four” Jay looked really happy when I said I was four
“I’m four too! how old are you Zane?” I forgot that Zane was there because he hadn't talked in awhile, we all looked at him and waited for his answer
“I am six years old” Zane said. Jay looked confused, me and Kai already knew that Zane was a robot so we weren't surprised.
“How can you be six? you're a big kid” Jay asked Zane
“I am a robot, my father built me six years ago” Zane said
“Wow you're a robot, that is so cool” then Jay kept asking Zane questions, and they talked about roboty things that I didn’t understand. While they were talking I turned around in my chair to look around, I saw a boy with black hair, sitting with his dad, He looked bored. I sat back down and looked at the three boys
“That boy over there looks bored, we should ask him to come sit with us” I said, pointing. The three boys looked behind me then Jay said
“Okay, let's go” me and Jay got up and started walking towards the boy.
“Nya, where are you going?” My mommy said from behind me, I turned around and told her
“We are going to ask that boy to sit with us” she looked to where I was pointing
“Alright sweetie, that's fine, you can ask his father to come sit with us too” mom said to me. I turned around with Jay and we walked over to the boy’s table
Cole’s POV.
I sat at the table with my dad and finished my scone, we were supposed to be running errands but my dad was “taking a break” to drink coffee and read the newspaper. I was bored, so I started tracing shapes on the table with my finger. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed someone walking toward my table, I looked up to see a boy with orange hair, and a girl with black hair standing in front of me.
“Hi, i'm Nya and this is Jay (the boy waved) we thought you looked bored so we came to see if you and your daddy wanted to come sit at our table with us” the girl said to me. I looked up at my dad
“No, no, we don't want to disturb you” my dad said to the girl who responded by saying
“It's okay, my mommy already said you could” my dad hesitated before saying
“Well, okay” I smiled and followed the girl and boy to their table, I sat down next to Nya and Jay while my dad introduced himself to the adults.
“Hello” said two other boys who were sitting at the table, Nya introduced me to them
“That's my brother Kai, he’s five and a half, and that's Zane, he’s six, me and Jay are both four”
“Hi” I said to them, I was surprised that the bigger boy was only six
“What’s your name?” Kai asked me
“My names Cole, i'm six”
“Hey that makes you and Zane the same age” said Jay
“So who is older, when is your birthday Cole?” Kai asked me, I thought about it for a second before answering
“I will be seven in two months” then everyone looked at Zane
“My birthday was last month” Zane told us.
“That means you're the oldest Cole, so you get to decide what we do next” Nya said, everyone sat waiting for my decision, I thought for a while then told them
“Lets play table football” everyone agreed and I showed them how to play. I was having fun laughing and playing with them. This must be what real friends are like, not like the kids who only wanted to be my friends because my dad was a famous dancer, we played for a long time before my dad said it was time to go. I said goodbye to my new friends and followed my dad out the door.
Chapter 3: Family
(at some point between seasons 2 and 3 of ninjago)
Cole’s POV.
This was what real friends were like, these guys weren't just my best friends, they were also my brothers (and sister), which is why I knew I could count on their advice when I walked into the living room with a letter from my dad. Jay, Lloyd and Kai were playing Video games, Zane was reading a book, and Nya was typing on her laptop.
“Hey Cole, jump in, we're only on level two” Kai said without so much as raising his head, Lloyd tossed a controler to me which I caught, but didn't turn it on.
“Actually guys, there's something that I want to talk to you about” I said. Kai paused the game and he and Lloyd leaned back against the couch to look at me, Jay sat up from laying on his stomach on the floor, Zane put down his book, and Nya closed her laptop.
“We're all ears” Kai said.
“My dad wrote me a letter, he says it's high time I invite him to visit” I explained to them as I held up his letter.
“My parents have been wanting to visit me for a while, I should invite them too” Jay said
“I too have been meaning to invite my father to visit” Zane agreed.
“I guess I could invite my parents over too” Said Lloyd
“Really, you guys would do that for me?” I asked them
“Sure, it'll be like a family reunion, that way there'll be an even spread of embarrassing stories all around” Jay laughed
“We would invite our parents too but…..” Nya trailed off, she didn't need to finish we all knew what she meant. I wanted to make her feel better so I said.
“It's okay Nya, look, we're like family, so our parents are basically your parents” this seemed to make her feel a little better. After that conversation we all called our parents and invited them over. Then I sat down with the other guys, and we started a video game tournament, Soon Zane joined in, and even Nya played a round. In the end Kai won, as always, but it was a fun time for everyone.
Chapter 4: Remember
Jay’s POV.
The day came when all our parents we're supposed to come visit, we all spent the morning cleaning up, and making sure everything was in order before our parents got here. My parents we're the first to arrive, I ran out to greet them and they hugged me tight, I led them into the house where they we're greeted by everyone else. They started asking questions about how everyone was, and what we had been upto lately. There was a knock at the door and Kai went to answer it, in a few seconds I heard Kai say
“Dr. Julian, welcome” Zane must have heard him too, because he immediately ran off to the entry way, I heard Zane and his father greet each other, and then there was a pause, I assume for a hug, before they walked into the room
“Father this is...”
“Ed, Edna!” Zane was cut off by his father's exclamation
“Um, well, yes” Zane said confused, Dr. Julian ran over to my parents.
“Julian, what are you doing here?” my dad asked
“I'm here visiting my son”
“Oh yes, Zane is your son, how could we have forgotten. Edna make a note of that”
“Of course Dear” my mom pulled a notebook out of her pocket and started writing something down. They continued talking about us, and by this time Zane and I we're thoroughly confused. The doorbell rang, and Cole pulled himself away from the conversation to go answer it. Cole came back several seconds later, followed by his father, and the Garmadons (who had apparently shown up at the same time)
“Dad this is Ed and Edna, Jay’s parents, and Dr. Julian, Zane’s dad, you've met Lloyd’s Parents”
“Ed and Edna, haven't we met before? Yes I remember, it was that day at the coffee shop in ninjago city” Cole's dad said, furthering our confusion.
“Oh yes, we we're just talking about that day, I remember you and your son coming to sit with us” my mother responded
“I think I remember that, wasn't it my first trip to ninjago City?” I asked, beginning to understand
“Is this that quiet little boy who came up to my table hiding behind a girl?” Cole’s dad asked me.
“Nya and Kai!” Dr. Julian interjected suddenly, turning towards them “that’s right, you were there too, but where are your parents?” at this question Nya and Kai visibly tensed up, I slid my hand into Nya’s to comfort her.
“Our parents died several years ago” Kai said as calmly as possible
“I’m very sorry to hear that, they we're good friends of mine” Dr Julian almost whispered. There we're several seconds of awkward silence before the parents slowly started back up the conversation. After a few minutes everyone was talking and laughing once again, by this time we we're all beginning to remember that day, except for Zane, who had apparently ‘lost that memory in a system update’, as his father put it. The day went by fast and soon it was time for our parents to leave, they all left one by one, leaving only Lloyd’s parents, we all settled down in the living room and Cole said
“I can't believe we met each other all those years ago and didn't even know it” Kai got up and turned on the tv
“yeah, what a weird coincidence”
“It sound like the four of you we're meant to be friends” Misako said in her wise sounding voice, than she and garmadon got up to leave.
“Is she saying it was fate that I got stuck with you guys as roommates?” I joked, that earned me a punch on the shoulder from Lloyd.
“Perhaps it was fate that we we're brought together so that we could keep you out of trouble Jay” Zane laughed, that made everyone else laugh, and we all talked and laughed for the rest of the evening, as brothers.
