Still by Your Side -||Lloyd x Reader||-

35

I felt at home in the Temple of Darkness. I laid against the Overlord as he was curled up. Currently, he was napping. I could feel myself drifting off to sleep as well. I closed my eyes and sighed. The darkness felt strong and I could feel it hold me like a warm blanket. Almost like a bat. Its wings hugging themselves as they hang upside down. I soon fell asleep in the cold inviting darkness.

When I arose, I was back in the Bounty. I was laying in Lloyds bed and no one else was in the room. I got up and stretched. I left the room and looked around. I searched the whole Bounty but didn't see anyone. " Guys?" I looked around. " Hello!?" I call out and start to get worried. Everyone's gi were still here and so they hadn't left on a mission. A kettle was boiling water and a book was left out as well.

I punched the wall and sent out a search ring but, no one. I really started to get worried. My search ring came back and detected someone on the deck. I ran out onto the deck and it wasn't anyone. It was a black figure. I could tell it was a woman. I felt angry, betrayed, sad, and so many more emotions I can't understand. My back started to burn. My arms felt like something was ripping out of them. My nails sharper than any knife. I screamed as pain ripped through my head. I fell onto my knees as the figure laughed.

I gasped loudly as I woke up. Wait? I woke up? I looked around and saw I was in the Bounty. Oh no. Everything is the same. Is this hell? I got up and walked out of the room. I walked into the kitchen and sighed happily. I smiled as I saw everyone in there. " Good Morning, (Y/n)." Zane greeted me as he set down plates for everyone. " Morning Icy," I took a seat at the table next to Lloyd. " Are you alright? I sense you were anxious," Zane looked at me causing the others to. 

" I just, had a really bad dream." I rubbed my arm. I flinch as a slash of pain ran down my back. " (Y/n) are you ok?" Cole asked seeing me flinch. " Yeah, just slept wrong." I slump over but straightened my posture even though it hurt more. " (Y/n)? Are you sure you are alright?" Wu asked, looking worried. I nodded, " Like I said, it was just a bad dream." I smiled a bit.

We all ate breakfast and I soon forgot about the dream, mostly. I continued to sit at the table and talk with Jay as Kai did the dishes. Everyone else having to do something else. " What I'm saying is that there is no way that an actual cabinet of Prime Empire exists," I argued with Jay. " How do you know?" He asked. " I'm just saying, its an old game. I was never released so why would a cabinet be made? Better yet, if there ever was one, it was probably destroyed." I roll my eyes.

" But what if it still exists?" Jay pushed once more. " I'm not wasting any more brain cells on you Jay." Jay pouted. Misako walked into the kitchen and spotted the three of up in there. " Oh there you three are!" She smiled. " Hey Misako, whats up?" I smiled at her. She walked over and showed us a letter, " A letter was sent to us inviting us to a party." She informed us.

" A party?" Kai looked over, taking a break from the dishes. Misako nodded, " Mmmhm!" She reopened it. " A man by Xvile is hosting a party and would love for all of us to attend." Misako added. " Xvile? I heard his parties are formal. That means dresses, suits, and put your stupid attitudes away." I looked at Kai and Jay. 

" That would be most wise. And you all are attending by the way. Nya says get ready to go dress shopping (Y/n)." Misako walked away. " Fuck." I groan and get up. I already hate this. The shopping fine. I just know that a party meant dancing, and I such at dancing. I quickly change into some jeans are blouse before finding Nya. " Let's hurry this up," I sigh. Nya rolled her eyes, " So much enthusiasm!" Nya joked.

A quick summon of our dragons and we were off. Into Ninjago City where we quickly had to hide for a bit because of fans. I had Grim fly somewhere else so people would go that way. " Ready to look for fancy dresses?" Nya nudged me as a joke. " You know, I have my dress the Stone Warriors gave me." I suggested. " Yeah but, would you really wear that? I mean like, the whole skeleton ribbon neck thing?" Nya gestured around.

I shrugged, " I would wear it. Might not be the best for the party though huh?" Nya nodded, " I hate that it's such a short notice too!" She added. " How long until the party?" I ask as we enter a store which was pretty famous for having the prettiest dresses. Expensive but very very pretty. " Like 6 days." She started to look around. " Are you fuckin-" I cut myself off and sighed. " Great." I mumble something before looking at dresses as well. " What type of dress should I get?" I asked, looking at different dresses.

Nya shrugged, " Lets just find a few we look and try them on, then get each other's opinion on it." Nya suggested. " Good idea." We split off to look at different types and colors of dresses. I wanted to stick to my colors. Purple. I started to look at black dresses too since black they were really pretty. I also just like black too. I also glanced around at other colors

I found a couple of dresses that I thought were cute enough before me and Nya met up again. She went in first. She came out in a light blue short dress with long sleeves. I gave her a thumbs up and told her how pretty she looked in it. She then tried on an off-the-shoulder grey and red dress. It was pretty but not quite here. Next was another off-the-shoulder dress that was blue with sparkles. " That reminds me of water. It's perfect," I giggle.

The last dress she tried on she didn't even come out in since it didn't fit her. " Yo next!" She pushed me to the dressing room. I put on on a long purple dress with a slit out of it. Lace covered the top which was straight across my chest. I walked out and showed Nya. I only shrugged since I didn't really like it.

Next was a short black, purple, and black dress. It was a sweetheart top with two purple straps that laid on my arms. The top was white with the skirt black that was rimmed with purple. It was a bit too short for me because if I bent down, you could just barely see my ass. Yeah no. It was super pretty though.

Next was another dress that slit to show my legs, the rest going down in between and behind. A fluffy boa-like add-on wrapped around my arms. The top had a collar that wrapped around my neck, my shoulders exposed. I actually liked it. It was plain black and white but it was still pretty. Nya seemed to like it a lot too

The next one had a top like the last one. The skirt part flowed down and cut in a way where the back is longer than the front. A belt wrapped around the waist. It was tanish and looked like it was from an antique photo just by the color. I walked out and Nya thought it was super cute on me. It was definitely a choice.

But this last one. Oh, it was my favorite. It was another sweetheart top that was a bit more pointy than the usually rounded edge. It was black and faded into an elegant purple at the end. The inside was also purple. A purple belt wrapped around the waist that led to the ballgown skirt.  I look at myself in the mirror in the changing room and just, really, really, liked the dress. I pull the top up to cover my chest a bit more.

The dress wasn't too fancy, but not bland. It didn't have lace, sparkles, little add ons. It was, plain. But so beautiful. I few accessories, shoes,  makeup, hair done, and I'd be the baddest bitch in the whole 16 realms. I came out of the changing room and Nya just stared at me with wide eyes. " If you don't get that one I will personally kill you. (Y/n) you look beautiful!" Nya compliemtned. I smiled, " Thanks Nya, you're the best."
