The kitchen didn't have a whole lot to work with.

Of course, it didn't have a whole lot. After that long journey, food was low.

You initially decided on spaghetti, as you had enough pasta to feed everyone on the Bounty, though you quickly realised that there wasn't any meat, vegetables, or even tomatoes for the sauce. There was hardly any other food left, and whatever food was left had gone bad to the point where you had a difficult time figuring out what they were supposed to be.

So, with your ninja mask up and thick gloves on your hands, you began cleaning out the kitchen.

You suppose this should've happened. You and the others had left the Bounty behind on the Island of Darkness for a short while. It had only been brought back by Acrylic just earlier this morning. Whatever animals that lived over there could've easily ransacked the ship for food and spread their diseases all over.

Come to think of it, maybe you and the others should've cleaned and repaired the Bounty before attempting to move back in.

You stood in the kitchen with a large plastic bag within your grasp. You took a moment to glance over the remaining shelves you've yet to clean. Maybe you should drag the others out here to help out so you could make something edible. 

"Hey, (Y/n)—"

You let out a shout before whipping around. Lloyd stood within the kitchen's entryway, a small plastic bag within his hands.

You relaxed. "Hey, Lloyd. You're back early..."

"Dad said he wanted to take a break," Lloyd said. "I, uh... kind of dragged him around too much."

You quietly laughed. "Can't keep up with the Green Ninja, huh?"

"Hey!" Lloyd argued. "For the record, it's Golden Ninja, now! And I'm just excited! I haven't seen my dad in years!" Lloyd threw his arms outwards to emphasise how long he hadn't seen his father. The plastic bag in his hand violently swung with his movement. Lloyd glanced at the plastic bag in surprise before lowering his hands. "Oh, right... I got something for you."

"For me?" You hesitantly asked. "What about you?"

"Spending time with my dad is more than enough for me!" Lloyd excitedly stated. "And Mother Doomsday didn't want to let me leave the store without getting something for myself, so I got something for you instead."

"You went do Doomsday Comix?" You did your best to hold back a laugh. "Well... I can't really open it right now," You held up your gloved hands. The gloves were stained in expired food. "Maybe later?"

"Please?" Lloyd begged.

"...You okay with opening it for me?" You asked. "I don't... want any chance of staining anything at all."

"Yeah!" Lloyd walked up to you as he reached into the plastic bag. He pulled his hand out and extended it to you. Within his palm lied two large keychains.

A multicoloured feather and a miniature polaroid camera.

"I didn't... really have the time to wrap them," Lloyd finished. "I kind of wanted to, though I didn't want to make Dad walk around more since he was tired."

You stared at the two keychains. "Oh, Lloyd..." You quietly spoke. "You didn't have to..."

"I saw the two keychains and immediately thought of you," Lloyd said. "I know I can't really help much with Polar and Pirate since... I don't remember them, but..." An idea popped into his head, and he suddenly held a bright smile, "Oh, whenever you bring them back, you should give these to them!"
