After eating dinner Zane stayed with you and helped with your wounds, now taking proper care of them. You had no broken bones so it was safe to say your gi was the more damaged one. But let's think positively! No green gi equals no green ninja, am I right? Not to mention you felt... out of color anyway. You just preferred (color) better.

***

As you woke up you almost immediately heard the sounds of a video game. Wait, what? You may not been able to look around the whole ship but you were sure you didn't have any gaming devices.

Your leg still hurt, but your confusion mixed itself with curiosity ultimately making you stand up and slowly make your way to the room where the sounds were coming from. "(name)!" You turned towards the voice as Nya quickly rushed to your side to help you stand. "You should be in bed!" You looked away as you felt your cheeks getting warm.

Even though she wanted you back in bed as quickly as possible she, too, was curious about the noise, so all four of you walked through the door. "What took you so long?" Kai turned his head towards you with a smug smile. Then he noticed you, "(name)? You should be in bed!" Him yelling caused the rest to stop the game and turn to stare at you.

"Wow, this place looks amazing! You guys did all this?" Nya asked seeing how clean was the place.

Cole smiled and crossed his arms. "Ninja don't just fight, Nya. We clean" You squinted your eyes at the statement, like you knew they somehow tricked all of you.

"Oh, you have exceeded my expectations" Wu stroked his beard, at once proud of his students, which was rare. You could hear a faint honking noise from outside. "...But can you keep it up?"

Kiko flew up to the closest window as more honking ensured. "Looks like we're about to have some visitors, and loud ones at that" Nya giggled while Jay sighed.

"Ugh... It's my parents. Please, if they start yapping, just don't let them going, okay? They don't know when to quit. And if you start talking then they'll start talking, and suddenly half the day is gone be—"

"We get it! They talk a lot..." Kai rolled his eyes, then added whispering, "The cherry doesn't fall far from its blossom"

Jay sighed, put his controller down and started to go out to greet his parents like a good son, even though he didn't really want to talk to them. The rest followed him, including Kiko. "Nya, go greet our guests, I need to talk with (name)" Wu exclaimed. The girl looked at him, then at you and hesitated before nodding. You watched as she left with everyone else.

Wu motioned for you to go with him, he took you to your new, small kitchen and started to make tea. You quickly caught up with what was going on. "You visited Auntie, didn't you?"

"That I did" Even though you were facing his back you could tell he was smiling.

It took a few minutes but as soon as the tea was done, and wasn't hot to the point where it could burn your tongue and throat, you took one sip and instantly felt better. You quickly joined the others, cup still in hand, as your wounds were healing in acceleration. It was clear that Jay was suffering every second with his parents there, until he finally have had enough. "Hey, look at the time. Don't you need to go back before it gets dark? I told you, there's dangerous Serpentine out there"
