(Jay's POV)
"Cole! Jay! Kai! Zane!" A little voice calls. I groan.
"What is it Lloyd?" Kai asks, annoyed.
"Uncle wants you!" Lloyd yells back.
"Tell him we're playing!" I shout.
A blonde head looks round the corner into the room,where we're playing video games.
"He says you have to come now," Lloyd insists.
"No!" I plead.
"Come on Jay," Cole sighs. "It might be important."
"Indeed. We must go and see what Sensei wants," Zane agrees, smiling comfortingly.
"Ugh, fine," I mutter.
We walk down the hallway towards the meditation room where Sensei basically lives. He's always meditating!
I however, hate meditating. Sitting still, with my eyes closed, and - worst of all - not talking, is horrible. I like talking. Cole calls me 'Motormouth', 'Zaptrap' or 'Mouth of Lightning'.
"Uh, Jay?" A voice suddenly says next to me.
"Kai?" I yelp. "You scared me!"
He rolls his eyes. "Probably 'coz you were daydreaming," he retorts.
"Yeah..." I chuckle. Then I walk into a wall. Kai sighs and grabs my arm.
"C'mon," he says before dragging me to the meditation room.
"Ah, Jay, you made it," Sensei says, amused. But his smile is soon replaced by a serious face. "Now, the reason I have called you hear is..." he takes a deep breath, as if to calm himself. "My tea has been stolen."
All four of us stare at him in silence for a few moments. Then we burst out laughing. "That's why you called us here?" I manage to say in between fits of laughter.
"It's more serious than it sounds," our teacher interrupts gravely. We all stop laughing and stare at him. "My tea, if drunk, can enable the drinker to do spinjitzu for that day."
"Wait... so you can't actually do spinjitzu?" Kai exclaims.
"I can," Sensei replies. "I just really like the taste of it."
"So what do we do?" Cole asks.
"You must find the other ninja," Sensei tells us. One by one, our jaws drop.
"Other ninja?" I splutter.
