(Years ago in the Monastery of Spinjitzu, in your POV)

"My niece, may you please go see if the rest of the Ninja have arrived?" My uncle asked making me bow in reply, "Of course, Uncle Wu. I'm sure they won't be long!"

I stood near the statute of the golden dragon, waiting for the others.

Lloyd, Zane, and Nya were first to arrive, "I take it you got the same message?" Lloyd asked the others, taking off his hood while speaking.

Nya adjusted her hair before answering, "From Master Wu? Saying there'd be special training today?" Kai and Cole arrived while she was speaking.

"Sensei!" Kai grinned when seeing me, "Hi, K.S.!" We both did our handshake before hugging each other.

Lloyd was next to embrace me, "Hi, sis! Did you also get the message?"

I smiled at my younger brother, "Yep! But he's not saying anything to me..." I whispered the last part before hugging Nya and Zane.

"Yeah, we heard the same thing," Cole took off his hood before smiling my way, "Hello, beautiful," he kissed my hand making me smile, "Hey, hun'!"

Jay appeared from the inside of the monastery, stretching his arms as he yawned, "I see you received Master Wu's message as well, Jay," Zane said playfully.

He looked a little startled to see all of us here, "Uh....totally! I wasn't playing video games for so long my legs went numb and I needed a walk. That message, which I absolutely got, is definitely why I'm here."

"Yeah, right, JJ. I can see your eyebags," I teased making him hide his face, "W-WHAT?! H-Hey! Bestie! Not funny!"

"Toats was."

"Was not."

"Was."

"Not!"

"Was!"

"Not!"

We just laughed before hugging each other, it's been a while since we've all been gathered in the same place.

"Excellent," Master Wu appeared from the doors, "It is time for an important lesson. Today we are going to dance."

We all groaned at hearing we were doing the same lesson we had done numerous times, "Not more 'Spin Harmony'...!~" Lloyd whined.

Cole was next to complain, "Come on, Master Wu, you know I ran away from that dancing school my dad put me in when I was a kid."

But he wasn't having it, "Focus. Just like a warrior, a dancer is completely in tune with their body. The dance will only improve your fighting skills. Plus, you might have fun in the process," Uncle Wu smiled, playing a piece of gentle waltz music.

"Now, follow me. One, two, three, one, two, three," our teacher instructed us to follow his movements.

I saw Jay ask Nya to dance making me awe at how adorable they were together, "How cute!~" I squealed, jumping in the air a few times.

"I'm sure we can do better," I heard Cole say to me, stretching out a hand for me to take.

His words made me look up at him with a raised eyebrow, "Oh? Are you asking me to dance, Brookstone?" I questioned, "Didn't you say you don't like it?" While teasing him, I nudged his rib.
