Serendipity | Ninjago One-Shots II

i know there's more that's out there | ninjago oc's next gen

At last, I have made this! It took some time, deleting a bunch of paragraphs, and then mulling over my various characters a million times but we are here now and I couldn't be happier!

This features my OC's next generation so if you've read Playing With Fire or Musically Me then I'm using the characters from those books.

Title from the lyrics of What More Is Out There from MLP Equestria Girls Friendship Games.

"Okay! It's Kaida's first day at NCH and I want you both to be welcoming and friendly, so put your nice faces on." Kai rubbed his hands together in the way he does when he's making an announcement.

Usually, the news consisted of things like: "The neighbours think they're superior to us because they got a cat! Let's teach them a lesson by letting Toast loose in their yard!" or "Mom's birthday is today and I totally forgot, anyone interested in sharing their gift?", and even "I clogged the toilet again someone help me." At least today's announcement was something interesting.

The teens immediately pulled on their fakest, cheesiest, smiles. The movie-star grins spreading a little too wide and showing a little too many teeth. Isla snorted as she looked at her children, sipping her coffee with a small smile while Kai grimaced.

"Aidan," Kai paused as he worked out what he was going to say next. "Do you have any other expressions you can use?" Kai asked, his voice getting higher as he talked.

Ash leaned over the table so she could look at her brother's. She laughed saying, "You look like you want to kill someone."

Aidan dropped the smile and scowled at them. He glared at his family with shrew-eyes, the amber colour turning flinty. Ash seemed unbothered and replied with a solid kick in the skin, making her twin groan in pain. Aidan tried to retaliate with an elbow but Ash easily dodged it.

"Hey!" Kai gave them a look. "That's not being friendly, that's being a jerk."

"She started it!"

"Don't be a baby! You were making that stupid face at me!"

"You're face is stupid!"

"What are you talking about? My face is gorgeous!"

"Hey!" Isla cut in before they could continue. "You're twins! Both of your faces are stupid."

Isla let out a loud laugh when the siblings began yelling at her. "It's not my fault!" She raised her hands in surrender. "You get it from your dad."

Kai gaped at her. "That was uncalled for!"

"MOM!"

"Don't worry, I will be the most friendliest of friendly
people. She will not be able to think anything other than 'Wow, Lynn was so friendly'." Lynn said, her face determined. It was weird to see such an intense expression on the face of a girl wearing a sparkly headband and a rainbow temporary tattoo.

"Well, you don't want to scare her, honey." Jay laughed awkwardly. "Lloyd's a little nervous about all this so it's bound to rub off a little on Kaida. Just... be calm. Try not to overwhelm her."

Charlie grinned, stuffing a spoonful of Princess Cupcake cereal in his mouth. "That means you can't jump her in the hallway." Charlie told his sister.

"I'm not going to jump her," Lynn protested. "I was just going to give her a hug!"

"The kind of hug that involves you sneaking around her, wrapping your arms around her neck, and screaming?"
