How to Train Your Dragonblood

Fight or Flight?

The next day Cole and Jay were standing out front of the arena, and within five minutes before class started Jay was beginning to worry about the other two, Zane and Plundar. Even Cole was looking around, more frustrated than usual. Jay looked around hesitantly, before sighing. If Zane was late he could be kicked out of Dragon Training.

"I'm... I'm gonna go get Zane." He said but Cole simply rolled his eyes and mumbled something.

As Jay walked off he couldn't keep the smirk off his face. Now it was payback time. He broke into a sprint, turning down Zane's street. He slowed to catch his breath, walking down a small garden path towards a small cottage. Right when he was about to knock, a tall man walked out. Jay recognized him as Dr. Juilen, Zane's father, and Ninjago's newest doctor. Dr. Julien was must older than any of the other parents in Jay and Zane's training class.

To the unknown, that might have mistaken him for Zane's grandfather.

He had bushy snowy white hair, an aged face, and hazel eyes behind a pair of thick glasses. He wore a white lab coat jacket with smart black pants and shoes.

"Hello, can I help you?" He asked when he saw Jay standing on their doorstep.

"Um... I'm Zane's friend, I just came to make sure he was ready for class." He replied and the man sighed, before looking at his watch and his eyes widened.

"Oh no, I'm going to be late for work!" He cried as he ran past the teen, before turning back to the freckled teen, "Zane's bedroom is down the hallway and to the left, goodbye!" The older man yelled as he kept running off and Jay hesitated for a second, before deciding that probably meant he could go on inside. After all, he didn't shut the door behind him. Following the man's instructions, Jay quietly walked down the hallway before coming to the said door.

The sound of faint snoring came from inside and Jay couldn't help but grin.

He opened the door a crack, before walking inside. Zane was lying on top of all the blankets, and the fact he was in the same clothes as yesterday told me he'd probably been up all night studying the captured dragonbloods again. The grin on his face widened, and he quickly looked around for a clock or something. A small digital clock flashed at him, the alarm had already gone off. Jay fiddled around with it for a second, but it appeared the alarm was broken or something.

He sighed, deciding to go to plan B.

He shook Zane gently because even though the thought of getting even was a nice one he still didn't want either of them to be late.

"Zane, wake up."

"Five more minutes." The paler teen groaned, before hitting Jay's hands away and rolling over. He laughed, shaking Zane again.

"Earth to Zane, come in Zane." He called out quietly as the blonde-haired teen's eyes opened, and he looked at his friend for a second.

"Jay, what are you doing here?" He asked and Jay grinned at him before it hit Zane and he jumped up. "I didn't!" He exclaimed and Jay's grin widened as he lifted up the alarm clock. Zane saw the time and swore, jumping up and running to grab his shurikens. Jay started to laugh before Zane started dragging him out of the room.

"Jay, come on, we're gonna be late!" He exclaimed as they both raced down the hallway and out the door, Jay still laughing like mad. By the time they both got to the arena, Ed and Edna were just walking through the door. Ed saw them running towards the arena and sighed, shaking his head in disappointment.

"Whose fault was it this time?" Edna asked. Zane and Jay looked at each other, before laughing, realizing this was starting to become a routine. Ed rolled his eyes, trying to become all official and businesslike.
