(Continuing on from the last chapter, the lights go dim as the audience settles in for the performance)
Garmadon: Ugh, this play would have been SO much better if my son was in it.
Misako: But he is in it. Lloyd's the narrator.
Garmadon: PSH, that's it? That's not even a role.
Wu: I- never mind.
Morro: Well, I for one can't wait to see what you came up with, Cole.
Cole: Right, right, hehe...
(The curtains open to reveal Lloyd standing on a podium)
Lloyd: (taps microphone) Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3. (the mic screeches)
Garmadon: MY EARS- it's official, I'VE GONE DEAF!
Wu: Is that a pizza I see over there?
Garmadon: WHERE? (Wu glares at him) Why are you looking at me like that, Wu-ser? You look like you just proved a point.
Wu: (insert facepalm)
Lloyd: (covers mic) Oops! (clears throat) Once Upon A Time-
Garmadon: Seriously? That's the best you could come up with? Who wrote this script, cause it definitely wasn't my Luh-Lloyd.
Cole: Hey, that is a GREAT starting, thank you very much!
Lloyd: (continues) Once Upon A Time, there was a-
(Suddenly, Lloyd's script is blown away from the wind. Everyone looks at Morro accusingly)
Morro: Don't look at me... look at him! (he points at the window where Lloyd's script escapes into the night)
Lloyd: No! My script!
Cole: Uh oh. Well, drastic measures call for drastic times. (he runs up to Lloyd)
Morro: Yeah, that's not the saying- and... he's gone.
Cole: Lloyd, take this. (hands Lloyd some papers)
Lloyd: But- but, this is literal chicken scratch!
Cole: Kai wrote it.
Lloyd: Oh. Makes sense.
Garmadon: Can we start already? Ugh.
(The audience settles as Lloyd starts once again, struggling to read the chicken scratch)
Lloyd: Uh- our story starts in Ninjago City in one small police firm. A... guy is seen dashing through the halls?
Kai: Can't be late, can't be late, can't be late!
Lloyd: But... suddenly!
(Jay comes around the corner holding a coffee, bumping into Kai, spilling it all over him)
Jay: Oh my- I'm so sorry! Your uniform!
Kai: Aw, no worries. (he takes off his uniform to reveal another uniform underneath) I always keep a spare!
Jay: Oh, you must be the new recruit.
Kai: That's me! I should get going, don't wanna be late. First day on the job, you know?
Jay: Heh, I remember mine. Put me in a whole new perspective. You know, in a world of un-found justice, it's easy to get lost in the chaos.
Kai: I don't get it.
