DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NINJAGO OR THE CHARACTERS, JUST THE PLOT!

Hello everyone! I'm super excited to write this! THE CHANGES HAVE BEEN ADDED AND THE NEW SHIPS ARE IN! I'm think I'm going to be switching from POV'S today. Thank you all, I don't really have any announcements so I'll just jump into it!

Harumi's POV

I flip on the lights to the bathroom and waltz to the sink. I sigh in happiness, me and Lloyd have a date later today and saying I was excited would be an understatement! I'm trying to keep myself still and composes while putting on my make up, but it's getting harder by the second. I will myself to stop moving and carefully put on my foundation.

I walk out of the bathroom, a smile painted on my red, rosy lips. I happily walk into Lloyd's room to see him at his desk. I gasp at his appearance. His head, craned like a bird, looking at the paper with his one palm on his forehead, supporting him. His skin a ghostly, and possibly unhealthy shade. Dark bags hanging like bats underneath his eyes. They look almost like coal. Lloyd coughs a little and continues to stare at the paper. I wearily look at him and approach, cautiously.

Lloyd's POV

So sleepy.... So sleepy..... I've been so tired these past few days. My days used to be filled with laughing, friends, jokes, walks, Rumi.... And now it's just filled with missions, work, staying up late, missions, staying up, work, so on and so on. This has been going on for what..? About a month? 5 weeks maybe? My brain starts to hurt from thinking so much. At this point, I think I'm starting to forget things.

What was I just saying? Oh yeah, forgetting things. My ninja skills have been off my a mile shot and my training is now sloppy. It's not like I haven't noticed, believe me I have! It's just... being the Green Ninja means work... so much work... and now that I'm around 18 and I'm master, and have a girlfriend, it's.... getting to be a lot. Im never giving up ANY of them, so instead, I'll just juggle them all....

Just then I fell someone touch my back lightly. I quickly whip my head around, instantly regretting as my head spins. How did I not hear someone enter? I wait as my eyes finally focus on my target. Their brown eyes are unmistakeable, brimmed with worry and concern. Rumi.

"Hey love," I mumble, annoyed about how sleepy I sound.

"Hey," she smiles kindly. She looks a little lost in though for a moment and looks a little hesitant to ask something but finally does.
"How much sleep have you gotten lately?" She questions wearily.

Good question, I think to myself. I peel my fingers away from the map, finally realizing how sweaty it has become. I use my fingers to count because my brain clearly can't. I've tried, it's just a foggy mess. "Maybe 7 days....?" I respond while slurring, almost like I'm drunk.

"Lloyd! 7 days?! That's not good for you!" She shrieked in utter concern.

I ignore her, asking something that has been concerning me ever since she walked into the room.

"Rumi? How are you flying upside down?"

"Flying upside dow- oh Lloyd! That's sleep deprivation! Do you know what that does to you?!" She yells.

I flinch a little at her volume and shake my head.

"It can make you hallucinate!" She yells again. She breathes a little, most likely willing herself to calm down as she starts again. "Lloyd, thats seriously not good for you. You need to rest, relax for a little, just because you are the green ninja doesn't mean you always have to wo-" she's cut off by the speaker I have in my room going off. I turn my very slow head toward it and sloppily get up and make my way to the speaker. It's a miracle I haven't collapsed.

I reach it and hit the speak button, trying my best to sound alert, "Hello? What seems to be the problem commissioner?"

"There seems to be some sort of rouge snakes attacking Anacondia! Can you guys please come and help take care of it," he asks.

"I'm on my way!" I respond quickly and leave the device grabbing my swords as I head to the door.

"Lloyd wait!"

I turn around to see Rumi holding my forearm. She lets it go and looks me in the eyes.

"Your way to tired and exhausted to fight Lloyd! You need to rest!" She tries to persuade me but I push her off, slightly annoyed.

"We can talk once you get off the damn ceiling!" I yell, anger quite evident in my voice. I honestly surprise myself.

She takes a step back, slightly surprised by my minor outburst but quickly recovers.

"Lloyd this isn't something to joke about! This isn't funny! You seriously need rest!" She yells back. I would warn Rumi but it's too late.

"Listen hear, and listen well," I whisper lowly, worse than before. It's like I can't controlI or can't even stop myself. Apparently anger is a sign of not sleeping. "I AM going to the damn mission wether you like it or not. So why don't you sit here princess and stay out of my god damn business. Let me do something I want to do for once in my life. Oh, who am I kidding? Your no princess! Your just some adopted child that they picked off the road out of pity. Then, you killed the only people who ever slightly loved you. Now you better learn some manners princess, before I have to teach them, forcefully." With that I jump out of the window, disappearing into the darkness.

Yes, I know, Lloyd was a little aggressive in this one, but it's just the sleeping I suppose. Don't got much to say so I'll see you all next time!
