(At the Destiny's bounty, the ninja are sleeping, but the alarm clock starts blaring, waking them up.)

Cole: Ugh. (He hits his head on the top bunk.)

Jay: Uh, Aah! (He falls off his bed.)

(Kai throws a pillow at the clock, making it hit a gramophone which makes it louder. The ninja groan, except for Zane who's unaffected by the noise. Lloyd uses his energy to shut it off.)

Lloyd: Is it Wednesday already?

Destiny: (kicks door open) Yes it is! And that means it's time for some sunrise exercise.

Jay: Sunrise exercise. I hate sunrise exercise.

Kai: Please. Another day. (Destiny snatches his pillow) Hey! I'm trying to sleep.

Destiny: Yeah, yeah. It's time to wake up. (she throws the pillow behind her, which lands on Zane's head)

Wu: (Comes in, ringing a mini gong) Ah. Good morning, morning, morning! Up, up. It's a new day, students. Before we begin sunrise exercise, I noticed the Dragon made another mess outside. It looks like a two-person job, hehe.

Cole: Uh, what was that, Sensei?

Kai: Did I hear an SOS call come in?

Zane: I sense I need to be somewhere else.

Destiny: I can't think of an excuse, so.... bye!

Jay: Lloyd, haha. I'm sure you got this, heh.

Lloyd: Aww, you might've been able to dump chores on me when I was smaller, but I'm grown up now. That's not fair!

Kai: (Sighs) You're right, Lloyd. We need to settle this like grownups. With a round of Rock, Paper, Clamp! 

Destiny: That is?

Kai: Uhh (does hand motions) pick rock, paper, or clamp.

Destiny: Uhh, ok?

Kai: Okay, on three! One, two, three!

(Lloyd chooses rock but everyone else chose paper, and Destiny pulls out actual paper.)

Destiny: Oh, you were supposed to use your hands. (shoves paper in her pocket) Gotcha.

Jay: Yeah, anyway, paper beats rock!

Lloyd: (Groans) How does paper beat rock? (Lloyd prepares to clean up the Dragon.) I always have to do the dirty work.

Cole: Hey, having a pet Dragon requires a lot of responsibility.

Destiny: Yep. When you grow up you gain a lot of responsibility.

Jay: Didn't your mom ever let you have a pet?

Lloyd: I don't remember my mother. She abandoned me when I was really young.

Kai: She just left? Who took care of you?

Lloyd: I spent my whole life at Darkley's Boarding School.

Kai: I- that's horrible.

Destiny: (hits Kai in the shoulder) Hey, I don't know what happened to my parents, and I don't think I ever will. It's not that bad.

Kai: Destiny, I don't think that's the right choice of words. The kid had to grow up without a fam- (Destiny covers his mouth)

Destiny: (whispers) Kai, don't make it sound more worse then it has to be.
