Book 1: The Other Garmadon

Double Trouble

Lyric POV: 

Back to the Dojo mojo, the ninja are trying to train Lloyd's electric powers, which seem not to work. 

They're trying to teach Lloyd how to light a bulb without breaking it, but over time Lloyd became frustrated because he couldn't get it right, now they are at the last bulb. 

"Focus, Lloyd. Control the power inside you. When you feel a surge welling up, harness it." Jay told Lloyd. 

"I understand. I am in control." Lloyd groans trying to concentrate. 

"Come on, Lloyd. You can do it." Jay said.

The bulb broke. " Aah! Stupid light bulb! You're putting too much pressure on me. Let me have one more try." 

"Ugh, sorry, Lloyd. That was the last light bulb." Kai stated. 

Cole hands Lloyd a broom. "Clean up, Lloyd. We'll continue training tomorrow." 

Lloyd takes it and instead of cleaning up, he used it as a weapon to punch the punching bag. 

I shook my head at my brother's antics and went up to him while the others converse about something. 

"You know the broom is used to sweep, not as a weapon." I told him but he ignored me. 

I sighed in exasperation and took the broom away from him. 

"Hey!" 

"Don't 'hey' me, clean up." I scolded. 

My brother groans and complies sweeping the floor as I smiled in triumph. 

"Lloyd, Lyric!" 

We heard Cole call out, walking towards us. 

"Yeah, Cole?" Lloyd and I questioned. 

"We're heading out." He said. 

I tilted my head and asked. "Where?" 

"To Darkly's." 

Lloyd and I exchanged looks. "Why will we go to our boarding school?" This time Lloyd asked. 

"Apparently we've been invited into a ceremony, and give you Lloyd an honorary degree in excellence." Cole said. 

My eyes turned saucers at what Cole said. Darkly's good? That's Impossible! 

"Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. You're telling me that our boarding school became good?!" I said in shock and disbelief clear in my expression. 

"That's impossible!" I exclaimed throwing my hands in the air. 

If I knew better I bet those boys have something else in mind than just a ceremony. 

"Maybe they've turned good Lyr." Lloyd said but I argued. "Do you remember the last time we thought of that?" 

"Yeah?" 

"And what do you think happened?" 

My brother opened his mouth.

I raised a brow at him, waiting for an answer. But as expected not a word or sound came out of it. 

I crossed my arms in triumph with a smirk, knowing I was right. 

"Lyr, Lloyd's right, maybe they did change." Cole said trying to convince me but I huffed and turned away. 

"Alright, how about we turn this into a bet?" Lloyd suggested. 

This is rare, usually, I would be the one suggesting these bets, but now he's making the move? Well, I'll be.
