(Y/N)'s POV
When I woke this morning, I saw that I wasn't in Cole and Jay's room anymore, but mine and Melody's room. So I went to go get dressed. I chose to wear my black crop top hoodie with a (f/c) hood, my favorite hat, and some tennis shoes. Melody was already up by the time I was dressed and heading to Cole and Jay's room to see if Cole was ready to go, so I started to sing Sleep At Night by The Chicks (originally called Dixie Chicks).

Not that you asked
But I'm getting past everything
Everything
I'm doing okay
Just glad it's not yesterday
Huh

My husband's girlfriend's husband just called me up
How messed up is that?
It's so insane that I have to laugh
But then I think about our two boys trying to become men
There's nothing funny about that

How do you sleep at night? (ooh)
How do you tell those lies? (ooh)
Lookin' me in the eye
Livin' a double life
Tell me, how do you sleep at night? (ooh)
How do you sleep at night?

You're only as sick as your secrets
So I'm telling everything
Half of the shit
You won't believe
But I know it's not unique to me

Remember, you brought her to our show at the Hollywood Bowl?
She said, "I love you, I'm such a fan"
I joked that you can love me as long as you don't love my man
There's nothin' funny about that

How do you sleep at night? (ooh)
How do you tell those lies? (ooh)
Lookin' me in the eye
Livin' a double life
Tell me, how do you sleep at night? (ooh)
How do you sleep at night?

So caught up in your story
You don't care what you're ruining
So caught up in your story
But you don't care

How do you sleep at night?
How do you tell those lies?
Lookin' me in the eye
Livin' a double life
Tell me, how do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?

Ooh
How do you tell those lies?
How do you tell those lies?
Lookin' me in the eye
Livin' a double life
Tell me, how do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?

By the time I was done singing the song, I was already at Cole's room, so I knocked on the door to see if he was up and ready to go.

"Hey Cole! You ready to go? We have to leave here in about ten minutes!" I called from outside his bedroom door. When I didn't here anyone answer, I started to leave. Just then, a sleepy, lethargic Jay opened the door.

"Oh. Morning Jay. Have you seen Cole anywhere? We're supposed to leave for the dragon race in about ten minutes."

"Mm. No, wait. I think he was up before Melody was and went outside to get Rocky ready for the race, if that helps you out. Good luck." Jay said, clearly still tired. "And were you singing earlier? Nice."

"Oh, thanks. And yeah, I was. Anyways, see ya later. Let's just hope that the Sons of Garmadon don't try to cheat today." I replied. "Tell everyone to not worry about me and Cole eating breakfast or lunch. We'll eat at the race track. And please tell Wu where Cole and I are going, ok?"

"Will do. Wait-- did you say the Sons of Garmadon? They're who you guys are racing against?! Tell Cole to keep an eye peeled. They might try to cheat their way to victory. I would suggest you do the same, ok?" Jay said. He then told me about how they were led by former Jade Princess Harumi and how they tried to bring back Lord Garmadon from the Departed Realm.
