Suddenly, at Two AM in the morning, someone was playing the piano and singing off key.

" OoOh, My BeAuTiFuL wIiIfE iS sO AdOrAbLe."

Mia groaned and peeked into the hall. " What did you tell Jay niw?*

Kai came out of his room, rubbing his eyes. " What?" He asked, yawning.

Mia slapped her head. " He's losing it."

Kai looked at Jay, who was still singing. " I think it was Lloyd or something."

The cacophonous sound of the piano and the off-key singing pierced the quiet of the night. Mia, her eyes bleary from lack of sleep, peeked into the hall to find Jay in a most unexpected state. The normally composed ninja was now belting out a lovelorn ballad with all the grace of a toddler learning to sing.

"Ooooh, my beaauuutiful wiiiife is sooo adorrrable," Jay sang, hitting notes that only a cat in distress might rival.

Mia groaned and nudged Kai, who was just emerging from his room, looking groggy and confused. "Kai, what did you tell Jay now?"

Kai blinked, rubbing his eyes as he took in the scene. "What? I didn’t say anything. I just got up because of the noise."

Mia slapped her forehead in exasperation. "Seriously? He's losing it."

Kai's gaze shifted to Jay, who was now attempting a dramatic flourish on the piano, his hands flailing about as if he were conducting an imaginary orchestra. "I think it was Lloyd or something."

Just then, the other ninjas began trickling out of their rooms, drawn by the bizarre noise. Cole looked around with a mix of confusion and amusement, while Zane adjusted his glasses, trying to process the situation logically.

"What’s going on here?" Cole asked, stifling a laugh as he took in the sight of Jay’s toddler-like antics.

Zane peered at Jay with a scientific curiosity. “Jay appears to be exhibiting behavior characteristic of extreme overexcitement. It could be due to excessive intake of orange juice.”

Mia’s eyes widened. “Wait a minute. Orange juice?”

Kai frowned, looking back at Jay, who was now dramatically blowing kisses to an invisible audience. “Wait. You don’t think he had too much orange juice, do you?”

Mia shrugged, trying to stifle a giggle. “Maybe. It would explain a lot.”

As if on cue, Jay’s singing took an even more bizarre turn. “Oh, my love, you are the cuuuuuppy of my heaaaart!”

Nya emerged from her room, looking both annoyed and amused. “Seriously, guys? What’s up with all the noise?”

Cole, who had been trying to hold back his laughter, finally cracked a smile. “Jay’s apparently discovered a new talent for performing. Too much orange juice, maybe?”

Mia nodded, trying to contain her own laughter. “Definitely. He’s acting like a two-year-old who’s had too much sugar.”

Jay, oblivious to the commotion he was causing, continued his off-key serenade. “I will love you foooorreeeever, and ever, and ever…!”

Kai shook his head, stifling a chuckle. “We need to get him to bed. This is definitely not the Jay we know.”

Zane, ever the problem-solver, stepped forward. “I will try to calculate the exact amount of orange juice that might have led to this state.”

Nya gave a dramatic sigh. “I guess it’s up to us to get him back to normal.”

Cole, still chuckling, added, “I can’t wait to hear the story of how we got Jay off the piano and back to his senses.”

As the group gathered around Jay, who was now attempting to play the piano with his feet, Mia grabbed him gently by the shoulders. “Jay, time for bed. You’ve had enough orange juice for one night.”

Jay blinked up at her, still grinning widely. “But I’m having so much fun! My wife is the best!”

Mia and Kai exchanged amused glances before guiding Jay towards his room. “We’ll let you have more fun in the morning,” Kai said, trying to keep a straight face.

With a mix of laughter and exasperation, the ninjas finally managed to get Jay settled back into bed, his melodramatic singing fading into muffled snoring. As they headed back to their own rooms, the night’s events became the subject of light-hearted teasing and laughter.

“Remind me to keep an eye on Jay’s orange juice intake from now on,” Mia said with a grin as she headed back to her room.

“Definitely,” Kai agreed, chuckling. “Tonight was one for the books.”

As something took my brother into the fog, Mia couldn't help but yell, " JAY?!"

When there was no answer, she lunged forward, but Cole stopped me.

" It's da-" he stared, but she quickly cut in.

" YOU DON'T KNOW HOW ITS LIKE FOR YOUR BROTHER, THE LITERAL ONLY FAMILY I HAVE, TO BE TAKEN BY SOMEONE. YOU KNOW NOTHING!"

Kai winced. " Mia, that's not fair. He was-"

" IS, Kai. He IS." Mia snapped.

Kai nodded. " Yes. IS my brother.nand Nya's boyfriend."

Mia turned to her, even more angrier. " You're his wife, aren't you?" She said in a dangerously low voice. " Why didn't you do something. Anything?!"

Nya staggered back. " M... Mia, I tried."

" No, you didn't."

Before nya could reply, Lloyd cut in. " Let's get back to the island."

----------

" It cost you nothing. But it cost Jay everything." Kai yelled.

Mia, who was pacing around, whirled to the keepers. " YOU STUPID IDIOTIC PEOPLE! YOU LET MY BROTHER GO INTO THE UNKNOWN JUST BECAUSE YOU SAW A WOODEN SHIP THAT WAS TO IMPERSONATE WOJIRA!"

" The FSM ( First Spinjitzu Master- no, it's not f*** so much. I thought it was that until I searched it up). Told us to protect the amulet with ALL costs. Not SOME. ALL."

Mia's Anger was simmering, but now it erupted. With a yell, she kicked their stomachs and heads and threw them on trees.

" YOU STUPID IDIOTIC PEOPLE." she yelled.

Kai groaned. This is bad....."

" Tell me about it." Cole replied.

-----------

" Maybe," Lloyd said. " But he's OUR problem."

The goons looked up, and saw the ninja. Cole swung to Jay and helped him from getting dropped into the sea.

" Oh, it's so good to see you guys!" Jay exclaimed, hugging him.

Cole nodded as he set Jay down. Then, someone knocked him over on his back.

" Oof." He grunted. He opened his eyes, to see a bunch of brown hair and arms that didn't want to let go.

He also realized his shirt was getting wet.

" Mia, I'm here. I'm okay!" Jay said softly.

Mia looked up. "Never do that again, brother* she said.

Jay smiled some more and nodded. " Sure."
