(Y/n)'s POV:

"This ends now, Samukai." Jay says dramatically. He then sighs at the mannequin skull he's holding. "Nope, pretending this is the actual Samukai doesn't make cleaning up the museum any more interesting. This is so lame. We're ninja, not janitors." Jay complained to us all as we moved boxes or cleaned up debris. 

Lloyd walked by with a broken mannequin of chen in a wheelbarrow. "Come on, Jay. We're all kind of responsible for the damage to the museum." As Lloyd says this I set my boxes of broken mannequin parts on the ground and then stretch my back. This sucks.

"After all, if we hadn't had that massive battle on the Day of the Departed, this place would still be in one piece." Lloyd says as he walks out of the room. With that comment Jay turns his attention to a certain raven-haired ninja. "Yeah, and whose fault is that, Cole?" Jay groans. And that's my cue to leave. I quickly pick up my boxes and go out of the room to follow Lloyd.

I head to a back room and see Lloyd unload his wheelbarrow into some boxes marked for disposal. "Hey, stranger." I say as I walk towards him. He turns from what he's doing and shoots me a smile. "Hey (Y/n), you doing okay?" Lloyd asks as he finishes packing the box in front of him. I set my boxes down next to him and lean back on them. 

"Eh, this isn't the best, but I'm doing much better right now." I say to Lloyd in a teasing way. He looks up at me and I see a blush go across his face. "You're so cheesy." he scoffs, still grinning from ear to ear. "Like you're any better," I say as I walk towards him and pull his collar gently. "You love it." I whisper before we lean in to kiss each other.

Lloyd sighs happily and cups my face with his palm. "Been a while since we've done that." he states. "Well its hard to find some alone time with our group and all this," I say gesturing around the room, "has been keeping us busy." Lloyd chuckles, "Yeah, but it doesn't look like you're struggling too much." I pull away and start to hunch over playfully, "Oh! My aching back! If only I had someone to help little old me." I say with some very terrible acting.

Lloyd jabs my side with an elbow, "I'm sorry, which one of us has super strength." Lloyd teases before grabbing my hand. I give his hand a squeeze as we start to walk. "Well maybe I just want to be cared for by you again. Get one of those massages you gave me after Morro captured me." I tease. Lloyd rolls his eyes, before noticing something.

"Whoa I never noticed this before." he stated, causing me to turn my attention towards the sculpture in front of us. My eyes widened in surprise. It was a statue of two women in battle. One of them wore a ninja mask and had two swords, the other one I recognized from an old photo my dad had shown me long ago. Mom? The plaque underneath the statues read "Sisters of Stone. Honorable warriors brought together in battle."

"Y-Yeah really cool. We should get back to the others." I say as I started to walk away from Lloyd and the statue. Lloyd ran after me and looked at me with that cute concerned face of his. I couldn't look him in the eyes. "What's wrong (Y/n)? You look like you've seen a ghost or something." He asked, putting a hand on my shoulder. 

"Heh, like we need another attack from a ghost right now." I tried to joke off but Lloyd just stared at me unfazed, worry all over his face. "I'm fine. I promise." Before he is able to pry Cole calls over to us. "Lloyd, that's your dad." Cole states. The others are all standing in front of this big portrait of a battle with a young Wu and Garmadon in the courtyard of some monastery.
