(The bird landing on the Destiny's Bounty as whistling was soon heard. In the gaming area, Kai was about to play his game when the one who was whistling, revealed to be Lloyd comes up behind him.)

Lloyd: Hey, Kai! Ha. Saw Cole and Lilly beat your high score. You should have seen it. It was pretty spectacular.

Kai: Uh, you must be talking about Sitar Legend. This is Fist to Face 2. No one beats me on my game.

Lloyd: Huh. Could be wrong. See ya! (He whistles as he walks away.)

(Kai checks the high score on his game and finds the Black Ninja's profile on the scores: 9370, 7277, 5759, 4209. Purple Ninja profile scores :3224.)

Kai: (enraged) Huh? Cole! Lilly!

(In the kitchen, Cole and Lilly is preparing dinner.)

Cole: Mm-mm! Violet Berry Soup, my culinary achievement. If the recipe is not followed exactly. . .
(He lets Lilly tries a bit, but screams from the taste.)

Lloyd: (From outside) By the way, I saw Jay spice things up. I told him not to, but he said your cooking could use it. Bye, Cole and Lilly! (He leaves.)

Cole: (Lilly spits out the taste; Cole furious) Jay!

Lilly: I am going to kill him, ruin yo-, I mean ours food for dinner.

(On the upper deck, Jay has kendo gear on as he prepares for his routine with a sparring bot.)

Jay: (gets out his nunchucks) Let's ease our way into this. How about level 2, shall we?

(He turns the sparring bot on, but it soon comes up to level 9.)

Lloyd: (Whistles) Hey, Jay. I saw Zane try to repair the sparring bot earlier. Isn't that your expertise? Later, bro. (He once again whistles as he leaves.)

Jay: Wait! What? (He tries to turn the sparring bot off, but it laughs as it starts hitting him.) No! NO!! ZANE!!!!

(Further up, Zane, in his pajamas is about to hang his laundry as Lloyd came up to him, whistling.)

Zane: Hello, Lloyd. What brings you up here this fine morning?

Lloyd: Kai wanted me to pick up his ninja suit. He said he threw it in with your whites. (He searches the laundry and finds it.) Here it is. Thanks. (Leaves)

(Confused, Zane gets out one of his ninja suits and discovers it is now pink and gets angry. Down below, the ninja are arguing with their accusers.)

Kai: (To Cole & Lilly) You two couldn't just be happy with the top score. You two had to rub it in my face!

Cole: (To Jay) Do you know how long it took us to make that?

Lilly: (To Jay)Three days. Three days!

Jay: (To Zane) It's an unsaid law, okay? You don't touch a man's robot!

Zane: (To Kai) How am I supposed to strike fear in this? (He shows Kai his ruined ninja suit.) It's pink!

(Master Wu enters as the ninja argue with each other before opening the bathroom door, where
Lloyd was hiding and he laughs evilly. The ninja soon find some spices that he used to ruin Cole's & Lilly's soup, some tools he used to damage Jay's robot and the detergent he used to ruin Zane's ninja suits.)

Kai, Cole, Jay, Lilly, and Zane: (gasping) You did this?

Cole: Guys, I get first dibs on. . . (He goes up to Lloyd to punish him.)

Wu: (stopping Cole) No dibs. I put him up to this for today's lesson. I wanted to show you the destructive power of rumors and that jumping to conclusions can only lead to trouble. Did you ever think to find out if the accusations were true?
