3. Double Trouble.

—JAY: "FOCUS, LLOYD. Control the power inside you. When you feel a surge welling up, harness it."

—Lloyd: "I understand. I am in control..."

Lloyd groans.

—Jay: "Come on, Lloyd. You can do it."

Lloyd tries again but the bulb explodes.

—Lloyd: "Aargh! Stupid light bulb! You're putting too much pressure on me. Let me have one more try."

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

Cole hands him a broom.

—Cole: "Clean up, Lloyd. We'll continue training tomorrow."

However, Lloyd uses it to punch a punching bag.

—Jay: "Sigh... What am I doing wrong, Sensei Wu? I can't seem to teach him to control his power."

Lloyd's broom hits him on the head.

—Lloyd: "You dare defy the Green Ninja!?"

—Wu: "Patience, Jay. Sometimes, the greatest opponent we face is ourselves, and that's especially true of Lloyd. Remember where he came from. He's the son of Lord Garmadon. It's going to take time for him to embrace the light."

Nya enters the room.

—Nya: "Hey, guys."

—Ninja: "Hey, Nya!"

—Nya: "I have a letter for Lloyd"

She hands Wu the letter.

—Wu: "Hmm. It's from Lloyd's old school."

—Cole: "The Darkley School for Bad Boys?"

I raise a brow.

—Me: "Why does such thing even exist?"

—Wu: "Formerly bad boys. Since the last time we were there, they've changed to the Darkley School for Great Children."

—Kai: "Heh, wait. They've turned good?"

—Wu: "Hmm, it says here there's going to be a ceremony."

—Cole: "I love ceremonies. That means there's going to be cake!"

—Wu: "Lloyd's change inspired them. Now they've invited Lloyd to give him an honorary degree in excellence."

Lloyd breaks the broom and headbutts the punching bag.

...

—Kai: "Are we sure we're talking about the same Lloyd?"

[...]

I approached Nya and she smiles when she noticed me.

—Nya: "[Y/n]! I thought you went with the boys?"

—Me: "I'm on my way there. I had a photoshoot just now."

—Nya: "I must admit I'm jealous"

She chuckles. Suddenly we see Jay coming.

—Me: "Jay? I thought you went with the boys to Darkley's?"

—Jay: "Oh? Ahem—! Right! I was going! We were just waiting for you, [Y/n]"

He smiles snugly. I raise a brow but shrug.

—Me: "Goodbye then, Nya. We'll be on our way"

As we walked away Jay holds my waist.

I raise a brow and look at him questioningly. He simply shrugs and smirks.
