Ninjago The Next Generation

Chapter 5

Kirby

"Maya wait!" Kirby yelled as he ran after Maya. To be honest he really liked her too, and maybe it was time to tell her. Kirby eventually found Maya with her feet dangling over a cliff, crying.

"Hey." he said as he sat down next to her. Maya turned and wiped her tears quickly. "Oh, um, hi. Sorry, I shouldn't be crying. Its stupid." she said as she wiped away more tears. Kirby gently grabbed her hand to stop her. "It's okay, sometimes all you need to feel better is to cry. I cry sometimes."

Maya looked into his eyes. "If you don't like me back I understand. Just make sure I won't hold you back." she whispered.

"I like you too," he said. He pulls her into a long lasting embrace. "We should go back, we'll have to go home soon." Maya said and Kirby nods. They both walk back to the others.

"What happened? Are you okay?" Nya asked as she rushed over to Maya. "Everythings fine." Maya replied, blushing a little. "We'll start working on elemental powers tomorrow. Everyone go get some sleep." Lloyd announced. Everyone went back home.

♡♡♡

Cole and Kirby returned to the hotel that Lloyd had paid for. He had gotten them a nice suite, and the hotel had a diner, waterpark, and some crazy activities. When they entered their room it was quiet. Peaceful. But something had been bothering Kirby.

"Hey dad, is anything going on between you and Jay?" Kirby asked. "Like why are you fighting a lot?" Cole sighs with a smile. "That's just how our friendship works." Kirby nods and goes to sleep.

♡♡♡

The next morning everyone showed back up at the monastery. Everyone seemed to be in an awkward state, probably because what had happened the day before. Kirby looked over to where Maya was, talking with Ray. He wanted to go budge in on their convo, but just kept to himself since he didn't want anyone getting any ideas or anything.

He noticed Axel and decided why not hang out with him until Lloyd started the training for today. "Hey Axel." he waved. Axel turned his head to see him, "oh, hey Kirby, how are you?" Kirby shrugged a little, "peachy, what about you, tin can?" he asked.

Axel smiled at the nickname, " good, I hear today we start to use our elemental powers." Kirby nodded, "yeah, whenever Lloyd will start this class. Speaking of which, are they even here yet?" he asked.

Axel turned around, scanning the crowd, "actually no, Lloyd nor Jade is here." he spoke. "They will be here soon," Adrian butted in, " I just got a text from Jade." Kirby nodded, and they waited.

As Adrian said, they came. Jade ran up to the three boys, "Sorry we are late, my dad had to go down to the police station again." Kirby raised an eyebrow, "again?" he asked. Jade tried to catch her breath after running, once she did, she looked at the master of earth, " he gets called down a lot, i'm guessing it has to do with the 'you know what'." she mumbled, so no adult could hear.

At first Kirby was confused. What was this "you know what?" It then hit him when he remembered the sleep over from a couple nights ago, "Oh!" he said, finally getting it, "How often does it happen?" he asked, with a tilt in his head. Jade shrugged, " like three times a week? Four?" she guessed, "I dunno, Nya has to drive me to school a lot." she admitted.

"All right, let's get started." the teens all turned to Lloyd. He had the other adults standing with him as he started to explain what they would learn today, "We will teach you how to work with your powers, you are going to go with your parents and they will show you how to control it, then we will try pairing again. Please don't recreate yesterday again." He eyed Maya and Kirby.
