Lloyd sat up in his bed. It was around midnight, and the young boy couldn't help but think. 'It's been months since my father tried to take me to the Underworld. My ankle is nearly healed and Kai's all better... Maybe he thinks I'm dead.... I did jump out of a helicopter....' Lloyd thought as he stared at the wall 'Or maybe he's gonna walk in any second now and try to take me again...' Suddenly Lloyd heard someone walking down the hall, mumbling something about goats and Donkey Kong. "H-Hello?" Lloyd called

"Huh what?" A voice questioned. Kai poked his head in the door "Why're you up?"

"Why were you talking about goats and Donkey Kong?"

"Fair enough." Kai chuckled "Now go back to sleep, it's really early."

Kai started to close the door "Wait, Kai?"

"Yeah Shortie?"

"Do you think... Do you think my dad thinks I'm dead?" Lloyd asked as Kai walked back into the room and sat next to Lloyd's bed "I-I did jump out of a helicopter."

"If he does then that means you're safe, but I'm sure he doesn't think you're dead Lloyd."

"I'm scared Kai... What if he finds the Bounty? What if he tries to you and the other Ninja? What if-"

"Everything is gonna be okay Lloyd. You're safe." Kai checked the time on the Starfarer clock on the wall, 4:45 am "You wanna play some video games? Everyone's gonna be up in fifteen minutes anyway."

"Okay!"

Kai smiled as he gave Lloyd a piggyback ride to the living room. "Hey, maybe when your ankle heals we can teach you how to fight. Or maybe even Spinjitzu."

Lloyd's eyes lit up when Kai said that "Really!?" He exclaimed quietly

"Yeah. If no one else will, I'll teach you." Kai grinned. Lloyd smiled as Kai set him on the couch and handed the blond a switch remote. "Mario Kart 8?"

"Mario Kart 8."

After fifteen minutes had passed, the other Ninja and Wu came into the living room, and ended up watching the races. "Yeah! Go Lloyd!" Cole and Jay cheered as Lloyd, who had chosen Waluigi, passed Kai, who had chosen Wario

"C'mon Kai! You can get back in first!" Nya cheered for her brother

"Go Lloyd Go! Waluigi for the win!" Jay grinned as Lloyd won the race

The group laughed as Kai groaned and threw his remote at Jay. "C'mon Kai, we all know Waluigi is the best Mario Kart 8 charecter, why'd you choose Wario?" Cole asked

"Lloyd got to the charecter before me..." Kai mumbled

"That makes sense."

Lloyd smiled as he followed Zane to the kitchen "Hey, Zane, can I help?" He asked

"Sure Lloyd. We can make waffles." Zane smiled as he grabbed the flour and some other ingredients from the pantry. "Could you get three eggs from the fridge?"

"Sure..." Lloyd said as he hopped over to the fridge

----

The Ninja all sat at the table. "What'd you make today Zane?" Cole smiled as Zane and Lloyd walked out

"I helped Zane make Chocolate Waffles." Lloyd grinned as he set forks on the table

"Mostly he just ate chocolate chips, but he did grab a few ingredients from the pantry and fridge, as well as stir a little." Zane said as he set the waffles on the table

Everyone laughed as Lloyd smiled dorkily "I was making sure the chocolate chips tasted good?"
