Rise of the Snakes: Charlie's Story

Never Trust A Snake

Charlie was getting dressed when she heard a thud come from the boys' room. Curious, she tied her belt and went to see what it was and walked into their conversation.

"How come no one awakened me?" Zane was asking.

"We didn't know you wanted us to." Kai shrugged. "You looked like you were having some dream."

Zane looked around suspiciously. "How do I know this isn't a dream-"

Cole hit him in the face with a pillow, getting a snort out of Charlie. "Does that feel like a dream?"

"No. Thank you for your help." Zane said with a mouth full of feathers.

Charlie laughed with the others as they headed out onto the deck to train.

"Hehe." Kai chuckled. "Little slow today, huh? What exactly did you dream about?"

"I saw the Falcon again."

Jay gasped. "Whoa. Zane, every time you see that bird, something big happens."

"First, it lead you to the secret tree house." Charlie said.

"Then it lead you to the Bounty." Cole said.

"All right." Wu said as he made his way to the ninja. "Stretches. First, the Swooping Crane." He lead them in the poses.

"This time, it showed me the Green Ninja." Zane whispered.

"The Green Ninja?" Charlie, Cole, Jay, and Kai asked.

Wu turned around to look at them. "That looks more like the Shocked Monkey. Bad form, more focus."

"You can't just drop a bomb like that. Spill the beans." Jay whispered.

"Yeah, what else did you see?" Kai asked.

"He was fighting Lord Garmadon." Zane said.

"That's what the prophecy said." Kai said. "That the Green Ninja would defeat the Dark Lord. But did you have a chance to see which one of us was him?"

"Yeah." Jay said.

"Did you see?" Cole asked.

"I could not tell." Zane said. "He shared attributes each of us possess."

"Now, Pinching Crab." Wu said as be changed position.

"Well," Kai said. "Tell is everything. And don't spare any details. There has to be a clue that tells us which one of us is gonna be the Green Nin-" Wu pulled his hair. "Ow, ow, ow! Hey!"

Charlie stifled a snicker as Wu scolded them. "What was so important to ignore my teachings?"

"Uh, nothing." Kai lied.

"It was nothing, Sensei." Jay said.

"Yeah, we don't talk while you teach." Cole said.

"Everyone was paying attention." Zane assured him.

"Since you all appear to be lacking in focus, then you can all share in the punishment." Wu turned to Charlie. "Except for you, Charlotte. You were paying attention."

"What?" Kai was dumbfounded.

"Punishment?" Jay moaned.

"It was all Zane." Cole said.

"I was merely answering their questions." Zane said.

"No free time and no video games." Wu decided. "The rest of the day can be used for training. And tomorrow for, that matter."
