《Energy: A Lloyd Garmadon Fanfic》~Chapter Twelve~
Advertisement
You and your dad arrived home and there was a big 'Welcome Home.' Sign outside the door with cyan balloons on each side. You put Lloyd's bandana in your pocket and you and your dad got out of the car. "It's good to be back!" You said in relief. "And it's good to have you back!" Your dad says as he unlocks the front door and opens it.
When you both enter, balloons and more banners were around the house. You followed your dad to the living room and out popped Jessie and Jason from behind the couch. "SURPRISE! WELCOME BACK ALEX!" They both cheered. You ran over to them and laughed, giving them a thank you hug. "Last time I check it isn't my birthday!" You say and they join in on your laughter.
"Tonight we celebrate! The mission was successful and Alex has returned!!" Your dad says bringing out cans of soda for you all. You looked at the coffee table and saw a small cake that had your symbol on it, surrounded by the cans of soda and two bags of your favorite chips. "Aw! You guys are the best!" You say grabbing a can and opening it. The other three follow your move and hoist up their cans.
"To Alex! For another successful job as a samurai!" Jason says. "And! To Lloyd and Garmadon for helping out!" You add. "Haha to Alex, Lloyd and Sensei Garmadon!" Jessie said and you all clinked your cans and took a chug before sitting down on the two couches. You sit In between Jessie and Jason while your dad sits on the other couch. Jessie Ruffles your hair and nudges your shoulder. "You gave me a heart attack when you went into the hospital! Don't do that again loser!" She says and you chuckle and stick your tongue out at her.
"Hey now! You aren't the only one that got a scare! I was worried too." Jason says and puts his arm around you. You smile and blush, leaning on him. "So! While we enjoy this awesome vanilla cake and chips, I think it's time I fill in everything you forgot, well from what we saw on the screen down at base." Your dad said and you nod as he cuts you a slice and gives you a plate.
Your dad then explained that there were elemental masters and that you saw them all trapped in chamber tubes. But you transferred all powers to your mech and destroyed it, giving back their powers. After that the building collapsed and they lost signal at the base. You started to gain your memory back as you remembered the events. But you still didn't remember how you and Lloyd ended up on the ground.
"Alex...listen to me. Garmadon gave me and all of us orders, not to remind Lloyd of the elemental masters. The secret of them must remain a secret for now. The ninja must believe they are special and they cannot get suspicious. But don't worry, all the elemental masters had amnesia, which means they don't remember you or Lloyd or any of the events at Leiko's. But do not tell Lloyd, understand? Even if he remembers, it's for his own good, deny it." You listen to every word your dad says and you nod your head.

"Yes sir.." You obey and he restrains from his serious expression to his happy expression. For about 3 hours you all hung out and talked some more on the mission. Until eventually Jessie and Jason had to leave but they promised to stop by tomorrow. As you helped your dad clean up the mess, he noticed the sad expression on your face. "What's wrong lexy! Aren't ya glad to be back?!" He asks, trying to cheer you up.
You give him a small smile and close the trash can. "I am! There's no way I'd stay in that forest again! But it's just...I sorta miss Lloyd." You say with a frown. Your dad chuckles and Ruffles your hair. "Sheesh dad! Why does everyone keep doing that to my hair!" You say trying to fix it and he laughs. "You really think Garmadon and I would cut off communication between you and Lloyd! Haha that's preposterous!" He says and you tilt your head in confusion.
"Lexy! Pumpkin! You two are pretty close after that mission! There's no way we would cut off your friendship! Why not call Lloyd tomorrow!" He says and your eyes widen. "Really?!" You say getting excited again. "Sure thing pumpkin! This isn't goodbye! Here, Garmadon gave me his number and Lloyd's!" Your dad said and gave you a sticky note with two numbers on it. "Sweet! So do they have ours?!" "Yup! My number, the house number, your number, the base number, and even Jessie's number since she works down at the base." He says and you cheer and give him a hug.
"Woah! Didn't know you'd be that happy! Haha! Save the numbers to your phone and put it up on the fridge when your done. I'm gonna go see what's on Tv." Your dad says then leaves you alone in the kitchen. You add the numbers then check the time, it was probably too late to text Lloyd or call. But definitely, you'd hang out with Lloyd tomorrow.
The next day you woke up to your phone ringing and the sun's rays shining on your face from the window. You groan and grab your phone, checking to see who was calling. It was actually from Lloyd! You sat up and answered it. "Hello?" You asked in a sleepy voice, still trying to wake up. "Oh! I'm sorry Alex! I didn't know I woke you up! I'll call back later!" Lloyd says and you instantly wake up.
"No! No! No! It's fine Lloyd! I have to wake up anyways. So what's up?" You ask getting up and stretching. "Oh I uh was just seeing how things are now that we're back to the regular schedule." He says and you put him on speaker as you head to the bathroom to wash your face. "I'm doing fine, we had a little welcome back party last night with some cake and chips." You say then wash your face with the water from the faucet.
"Oh cool! We didn't really have a party or anything, but the ninja were glad that I came back. I'd tell them the truth about where I really went but my dad wants it to be kept a secret for now. Which means, they can't know about you either." Lloyd said and you dry your face with a towel then stepped out of the bathroom.

"Well no problem then, I didn't really care about meeting people. But I mean, we can still chill out and hang out right?" You open up the curtains and then grabbed your phone. "Sure! But not at Wu's monastery, but we can hang out at my dad's monastery, and maybe your house too if your dad doesn't mind." "Yeah he won't mind. How about we hang out sometime this week!" "Sure! Why not!" "Okay cool! I'm gonna eat breakfast now but I'll get in touch later." "Okay. Bye Alex!" "Bye Lloyd!" You then hung up and went to the kitchen.
When you arrived at the kitchen, you found Jessie sitting at the table eating cereal. "Well! well! Sleeping beauty finally awoke from her slumber!" She says with cereal full in her mouth. "Says the chipmunk who came here early!" You say as you open the fridge and pull out the jug of orange juice. "Someone's trying to be smart in the morning! Haha touché!"
"Pfft whatever! Haha what are you doing here early anyways!" "I am not early for anything, it's 09:00! Your father let me in, as usual!" "Well what brings you in today?" "We head down to the city and walk around! Ya know! Best friend bonding!" "....oh alright. Gimme some time." You say and turn around putting the jug of orange juice away after you took a chug from it.
Jessie laughs, "You take forever in your room! Sure you don't have a boy in there!?" She teases and you growl and push her off the chair. She falls to the ground, laughing harder. You roll your eyes and go to your room to get changed. When you finished getting dressed in something casual and comfy, you head back downstairs to find Jessie sitting on the couch watching BBC.
"What the heck are you doing?" You ask her. She looks at you with a sly smile on her face. "I am channeling my inner British..." "Well could ya channel it later! You have a tv at your house! Are we going or not?" You say and she chuckles then turns off the tv. She gets off the couch with a grin on her face. "Okay! We can go now! Haha!" She says and you roll your eyes with a smile, walking to the door.
Eventually you both made it to Ninjago city and made a stop at both your favorite frozen yogurt place. After you both paid for your FroYo, you two took a walk down the sidewalks in the city. "So! You found a guy yet?" You coo and Jessie scoffs and puts a spoonful of her sweet treat in her mouth. "You know me! I'm practically one of the guys! They'd be better as my friend then as a boyfriend." She say and you chuckle and swallow what was in your mouth.
"Haha I know! I was just checking in anyways!" "Well same old same old! BUT! You on the other hand Alex, I'm very intrigued to hear about what's going on with you and Lloyd!" She teases and elbows your shoulder. You surprisingly felt heat rise to your cheeks when you heard that. "Why the heck does everyone keep saying that! Oh! Is Lloyd your boyfriend!? You two obviously like each other! Haha NO! I'm just his friend! And that's it! I have a boyfriend named Jason and I'm happy! So would everyone do me a favor and stop it!!" You rant practically stabbing your frozen yogurt with the spoon.
"Woah woah woah! Haha take a chill pill mate! We're only joking! I know you have Jason, in fact if anyone should be proud of you it should be me! I set you both up! But we just joke with you and Lloyd because well, you two have been together alone out there for awhile and it kind of sounds cute!" You almost choke on your yogurt when you hear the last sentence of her words.
"CUTE?! I wanted to Strangle him!! He drove me crazy!! He's so clumsy! AND he just...he uh...S-sounds weird...yeah!" You said trying to defend yourself but failed at adding more to what you wanted to say. "Sounds weird? Haha that's a serious excuse! His voice is fine! But hey, if one day, you ever do fancy Lloyd, I will support your choice if you want to break up with Jason." Jessie says and you roll your eyes.
Just then your phone rang and you both stopped walking so you could see who was calling. Your heart raced when you saw it was Jason! "Oooohhh!!! Haha answer it already!" Jessie coos and you shush her and answer it. "Heyyy lexi bear!!" Jason greets you and you chuckle at the nickname he uses. "Heyyyy babe! Haha what's up?" "Oh well I was just wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me tomorrow." He said and you imagined him smiling on the other line.
You smile as heat started rising to your cheeks. "Of course!" You agreed happily. Jason always asked you out just to be polite. "Great! I'll tell ya where we're going tomorrow when I pick you up at...let's say 2ish?" "Two is good for me!" "Cool! So see ya tomorrow." "Alright! Bye babe!" "Bye Lexi bear!! Haha!" You then hung up and put your phone back in your pocket.
"He asked you out again didn't he?" Jessie asks and hands you back your frozen yogurt cup. "Yup! You know the drill." "Well yeah, I do haha! So! How about we make our way to Ninjago Mall? Maybe watch a movie in the cinema? Or go to the shops to check on the clothes!" "Well let's do both!" You choose then you both head to the nearest trash can and threw away your cups. "Nice! Let's go!" Jessie says and you both arrive at the mall to chill out.
