Lavashipping oneshots

Almost drowning

This only has a little bit of lavashipping not a lot tho and it wont be very noticeable.

"Alright, bad news, guys," Jay's high-pitched voice came from behind a pile of snow. He hurried around it and stood panting for a moment as he tried to catch his breath.

"Sensei says we have to actually spend the night in it."

The three others groaned loudly, and a short chorus of muffled curses went around the group.

Kai sighed. He had only just met these three other guys, and their sensei was already giving them team building exercises. Only a few hours ago, Sensei Wu had come up to them and informed them that they were going to fly their dragons up into the snowy mountains to build a fort. They had all decided to just make a crude square, but thanks to Jay's new information, they would have to do better.

Kai had to admit; the bunch of hooligans he had been put in a team with was certainly something else. The three of them weren't too bad, but Kai found them a little... weird.

Cole, master of earth, was a pretty rock-hard guy, and not a bad leader. But Kai didn't need, nor want, a leader. He didn't want anyone bossing him around.

The master of lightning, Jay, who was already turning blue in the cold, was an interesting one. He talked too much and had bad puns. What wasn't annoying about him? Plus he was trying to hit on Kai's sister. Kai would have to keep a close eye on that.

Then there was Zane. He was the master of ice, and supposed "seer of the sixth sense." Kai wasn't sure what that meant, but he did know that the white ninja was very odd. Jokes and sarcasm went right over his head, and he didn't seem to be very normal. For instance, sitting in the fridge at midnight. That wasn't the sort of thing people usually did.

"We should probably get started," came Cole's rough voice, snapping Kai back to the present. "We only have until tonight, and I don't know about you three, but I don't fancy being a human Popsicle by morning."

Zane had his finger up, and he was about to say something probably scientific, when Kai broke in.

"Yeah, yeah, Zane, human Popsicles aren't possible and blah blah something boring about only having whatever degrees and what the hey... Let's just get on with it." He finished with a huff and turned around, starting to trudge through the snow towards the area they chose.

"Also, this spot might not be big enough for a four-person fort," Kai grumbled.

"Unless we sleep on top of each other," Jay pointed out, a small snicker escaping his shivering lips.

Kai just rolled his eyes and folded his arms. "This isn't really a great time to be making jokes, you know," he retorted, already feeling irritated about the whole stupid exercise. "I'm not sleeping within three feet of you people."

Jay just gave him a fake pout and went back to his shivering. Cole was giving Kai a glare, but the red ninja pretended not to notice. Finally he just sighed.

"Fine, we'll find another place. But you don't have to get snappy with us. We're supposed to work together," Cole told him, trying to stay calm. But Kai could see in his eyes that he was pretty much ready to blow up any moment.

"Let's just split up and try to find a bigger place. Jay, you go with Zane. I'll go with Kai," he added with a small sigh. Kai just shot him a nasty look and folded his arms. He would much rather go off by himself, but apparently that wasn't going to happen.

Zane and Jay nodded and were about to take off, when Cole motioned for them to wait a moment.

"Watch out for the thin ice. Sensei told me there was some around here somewhere..."
