In the desert, Kai, Zane, and Dareth are walking exhaustedly.
Dareth: So ... you're not ... thirsty at all?
Zane: No. Being a Nindroid is not without benefits.
Dareth: I wish I were a Nindroid.
Kai spots a van driving by.
Kai: Hey. Hey! Hey wait! Wait wait wait! Stop, stop please! Help! Help!
The van stops and reverses to the ninja. Zane cloaks himself with his hologram.
Sally: Hi, guys! Whatchu doing way out here?
Kai: We were, uh, camping. And we got a little lost.
Sally: Ah. How come you're dressed up like the ninja?
Dareth: We were, uh, costume camping. It's a thing. Lots of people are doing it. Anyway, yeah, we could really use a ride.
Sally: Sure! Hop in.
Kai: Thanks.
They board the van. Sally turns on the music, and Sally's song begins to play.
Dareth: So, you don't recognize these guys?
Sally: No, why? Should I?
Kai: He's just joking. Hehahaha.
He nudges Dareth.
Kai: Uh, so, are you moving or something, Sally?
Sally: Yep! All the way to Ninjago City! I'm gonna be a singer. I'm gonna be like, on the radio, and TV, and in concerts and stuff.
Zane: Is this one of your songs?
Sally: It sure is! What do you think?
The song plays "Dig deep inside, and you will feel: an inner strength, an inner steel." Zane notices the lyrics.
Dareth: Wow. You wrote that? That's great!
Sally: Thanks!
Zane: But humans are not made of steel.
Sally: Of course not, silly! It's a song, to make people feel better! Songs can help people come together and find their way. That's what I want my music to do.
Zane: That is a worthy cause.
Kai: Yeah! It's great, Sally.
Sally: Oh, you guys are sweet.
Zane: And who is that?
He points at a photo.
Sally: Oh, no!
She starts crying and lets go of the wheel.
Dareth: Oh! Look out!
Kai: Sally? What are you doing?
Zane: She has released the wheel.
Kai: I know, Zane! Do something! Grab it! Grab it!
Zane pulls the brakes and the van stops. Sally bursts out of the van sobbing.
Dareth: What was that about?
Zane: I do not know.
He approaches her.
Zane: Sally, what is wrong?
Sally: I - I ran away. From - home ...
Kai: Why?
Sally: Because - I wanted to go to Ninjago City. But, my dad said I'm not old enough. So - I went anyway, even though I knew it would hurt his feelings. Because I'm selfish, selfish, SELFISH!
