Set between season 5 and 6 (when the ninjas are still famous). Inspired by Beautiful To Me by Olly Murs.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Nya, you in there?" Jay knocked on Nya's door. 

Nya's been locking herself in after dinner. And this is not the first time. This has happened for many, many, days. However, no one cared about it. They just go on with their lives, being a celebrity. Not even caring for their newest and most underrated member. It's time someone notices this and make sure Nya's alright. And that someone is, of course, Jay. Although he and Nya are not that close now, he still has some feelings for her and always wanted to make sure she's alright.

CRACK

There's suddenly a sound of broken glass. Panicked, Jay pushed the door open. There, he saw Nya screaming into her pillow. She's still wearing her maroon ninja suit from an earlier shoot about make-ups with Darreth. Jay sat down on her bed and pat her shoulder.

"What's wrong Nya? You okay?"

Nya pull her head up. Her eyes are both red and puffy and tears streamed down her cheeks. She shakes her head before screaming into the pillow again. Jay looked ahead of him and spotted Nya's phone on the ground. By the looks of it, Nya had thrown the phone to the wall in frustration which is the cause of the earlier broken glass sound and the cause of her crying.

"Is it the media again?" 

Nya nods. Lately, there's a bunch of mean people in Ninjago ho doesn't like the idea of there being 6 ninjas instead of the usual 5. It'll take some time for them to get used to it. But by then, they'll have to endure the bad comments and hates.

"They're insane!" Nya threw the pillow to the wall. "I saved them from the Preeminent. From getting all conquered by ghosts! And this is how they repay me?! Bad comments and hates?! What a spoiled brat!"

Jay can only sit in silence while rubbing circles on Nya's back, trying his best to calm her down. It kind of worked because Nya started to calm down a bit and pull her knees closer to her chest.

"What if they're right?" She questioned. "What if I truly don't belong here? What if I'm not good enough? You know what, they are right. I'm not good enough. I'm not as cool or skilled as you guys. That's why I'm always stuck talking about makeups, girl stuff or even that love triangle. I don't belong here either. I should've stuck as Samurai X my whole life. It's not like I wanted to be here anyway...."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa wait." I stopped her from her self destroying rant. "What do you mean by you don't belong here? You do belong here. You just destroyed a huge monster on your first try. I don't think any of us have done that. Well, except Zane. But the point is you're skilled enough for a beginner."

"Yeah but still I'm not cool enough." Nya slumped backwards, leaning against the headboard. "Everyday they all keep dissing me about my looks. Such as, maroon isn't your colour, should've stick to red. Or bob cut hair are disgusting. And some more insults along the line."

Jay shakes his head. He put one of his hand on Nya's and began singing an excerpt from his current favourite song.

 Love, don't ever change the way you are

You light the sky just like a star

I don't care what you say you're

Beautiful to me

Love, open your arms and let it go

You're so amazing don't you know

I don't care what you say you're

Beautiful to me

Nya chuckled. She never knew Jay could sing this well. Jay stroked Nya's beautiful raven black hair. It might be short but it's still amazing to him.

Light breaks through your hair and

They all stop and stare and

I'd go anywhere oh why can't you just see that

I'm crazy about you

I can't live without you

You don't see it but you're

Beautiful to me

Jay pulled Nya up from her bed. He started twirling her around and stroke her hair and cheek. Her dreamy eyes and pale face glowed under the light. Jay can get lost in them all day.

Love, don't ever change the way you are

You light the sky just like a star

I don't care what you say you're

Beautiful to me

Love, open your arms and let it go

You're so amazing don't you know

I don't care what you say you're

Beautiful to me

You're beautiful to me

"Thanks Jay. You always cheer me up." Nya hugged him tight. Jay smiled back. Even though they're not as close as they were before, at least he can still cheer her up. And seeing her happy is one of Jay's primary goals in life.
