It was a regular morning in Ninjago City. The ninja, Sensei, Lloyd and I were training in Dareth's dojo. Sensei wanted us to do something weird. He asked Lloyd to get on his hands into a handstand and then for us to stand on him in some positions to make us able to stand on him and stay balanced.

Which is exactly what we did and what we are doing right now.

"Focus. In order to bear the fate of Ninjago on your shoulders, you must first learn to bear the weight of all of us. Focus." Sensei says, trying to calm everyone down, but all of the ninja, including me, were freaking out — which is not really helpful to Lloyd.

"Uh, Sensei, I'm starting to think this was a bad idea." Jay speaks up, looking up at the sage man, who was standing on my shoulders.

"Yeah, Sensei, he's just a kid." Cole adds, looking down as his hands were placed on my thighs, trying to keep me still as I was sitting on his shoulders.

Now, I usually don't mind physical touch(I actually appreciate it a lot), but this one just makes me feel a little different than when it's with the others — in a good way, tho... I think. He did ask me before if it was okay(which I find really sweet) and I confirmed that it was okay, but now, feeling the way my heart beats increases more and more as the seconds are passing by while my stomach keeps doing weird flips are some unusual sensations I have yet rarely experienced. Plus, the way his hands were on me just gave me a sense of comfort and safety as I felt like I could trust him to not let me fall, but also the placement of his hands clearly didn't help with my flushed face and the lump in my stomach.

"In order for him to succeed, we must all trust one another." Wu replies while taking a sip of his tea. I hear a honk from outside, which picks up my curiosity as the noise was near our position. I furrow my brows, trying to listen for any more sounds. Wu, who must have felt my muscles tense up, raises his voice. "Is something wrong, Moki?"

"Yeah, I just thought I heard something outside." I answer, still listening for any kind of similar noises.

We all stay silent, not a sound, except the groans coming from Lloyd, could be heard — trying to listen for any kind of noises. A loud window crashing sound gets itself known as we all fall at our sides. My back against the floor, I cough and shake my hand due to trying to dispersing the dust and smoke from the impact of whatever caused it.

"What was that?" Cole asks, his voice groggy as he sits up from the floor.

I rub the back of my head, an eye closed as I caress the part that my head had been affected from the fall. I notice a hand appearing right in front of me, which makes me open my eyes that were shutted and trail my gaze up, only to see Cole offering his hand to me — the expression on his face soft and warm. I grab his hand, in which he helps get up on my feet. I blink, giving him a smile, which he happily returns.
