BEWITCHED - L. GARMADON

A DAY OF FIRSTS

The sun rose high above the monastery, the warm rays of light casting down a golden glow on everything it touched and creating a peaceful atmosphere. A rooster crossed in the distance, signaling that it was a new day, but the residents of the monastery remained in a slumber. [Name] laid in their bed, having piled blankets and pillows around her to create a nest shaped sleeping area and sleeping soundly, snoring lightly and oblivious to any noise.

Her door slowly slid open, and a figure slipped in, sneakily creeping towards [Name]'s bed with careful steps. The floorboards creaked under their weight, but the girl laid blissfully unaware of another's presence in her room. The intruder stopped, staring weirdly at the mass of blankets surrounding the girl before winding up, and body-slamming into the sleeping girl.

"WAKE UP!!" exclaimed the voice of the young Lloyd Garmadon.

"ACK—!" [Name] shrieked, jolting awake startled and tangled in her blanket and Lloyd's embrace. She thrashed for a minute, before pausing when Lloyd's face came into view, letting out a groan at his mischievous grin as he snickered at her sleeping getup. "It's like.. six in the morninggg." She grumbled, pouting as she flopped back down in the bed and tried to go back to sleep.

Lloyd blinked at that, shaking her awake with annoyed confusion. "Yeah, why?" He innocently asked.

Swatting his hands away, [Name] let out another frustrated whine. "Breakfast doesn't start till laterrr.. and then I have lessons, and then lunch, and then—" She started listing the schedule they had at the monastery, before pausing and shaking her head. "Well I guess you being here has ruined the schedule.."

"Why—?!" Lloyd began, before he finally processed her final words, pouting "Hey!"

"Just.. let me sleep for a little longer," [Name] groaned, closing her eyes and snuggling farther into the sheets. "'m tired.." And then she was out.

Lloyd grumbled at that, rolling over so he was laying right beside her with crossed arms and glaring at the ceiling. How dare she fall asleep on him! It was unbelievable!

But.. now that he was laying in her nest-bed thing.. Lloyd had to admit. It was pretty comfortable here. And warm. Maybe a little more rest couldn't hurt...

He was out.

Sensei Wu wasn't exactly sure what he was expecting to see when he entered his students room. Maybe the room was pitch black again, no light coming through the window despite the sun being well past its rising hour. Or maybe she was sleeping in the rafters again. What he didn't expect was to see his nephew also passed out in the nest of blankets, pillows, and other clothes alongside her.

The young Garmadon's left arm was strewn lazily across [Name]'s chest, laying spread-eagle as if he was trying to take up the whole bed, drooling and using his cloak as a blanket. His student, on the other hand, was snuggled up into the bed comfortably, having stolen the one usable blanket in the nest-like configuration and hogging it all to herself. Lloyd let out a snore, smacking his lips as he mumbled something about candy and somehow leaving [Name] sleeping soundly with all his sleep-talk.

Sensei Wu let out a chuckle, and gently shook [Name] awake, waiting until her [Eye color] eyes opened and she sleepily lifted her head up, smelling the beginnings of breakfast wafting through her open door. "Sensei...?" She mumbled, her eyes bleary with sleep.

"Good morning, [Name]," Sensei Wu smiled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Did you both have a sleepover?"

"...Huh..?" [Name] blinked, having a hard time processing the old man's words. "Who?"
