Ninjago Stories Part Two

Chasing Emma Part 2

Mia nervously tapped her phone as it rang. After a few moments, Morro's voice answered from the other end. "Yeah?"

"Uh, hey, Morro?" Mia began cautiously, rubbing the back of her neck. "I was wondering if you could possibly, oh, I don't know... convince your wife to... um... get off Europa?"

A pause. "Where?"

Mia grimaced. "Europa. You know, one of Jupiter's moons?"

There was a longer pause this time. "What do you mean, get off Europa?"

Mia awkwardly cleared her throat. "Well... there's no easy way of saying this, so... Morro, your wife is in space."

Silence. Then, in complete disbelief, Morro finally said, "My wife... is on Jupiter's moon?"

"Yeah," Mia mumbled, wincing. "And she's, uh, kinda just hanging out there. Maybe you could, you know, talk her down?"

Morro sighed. "Why is this even happening?"

" O-kay..... That's bad." Morro muttered as he looked through the telescope, then looked at Annie and Mia. " What are we gonna do?"

" We were thinking you could go up there and.... Drag her down." Annie said sheepishly.

Morro blinked. " Pardon?"

" Well, you see.... You're a ghost."

" Yeah..."

" So you don't need to breathe air...."

" Yes I do!"

Annie blinked. " What?"

" What makes you think I don't need to breathe?!"

" Well, it's just.... You're a ghost."

Morro narrowed his eyes. " Just tell me what you mean "

" She means that since you're a ghost you don't need to breathe air so you could go up there and drag your wife down."

" But I need to breathe air!"  Morro cried.

Annie snapped her fingers. " I got it!"

Mia and Morro turned to her

" We can hitch a ride on a rocket!"

Morro seemed to like the idea.

Mia.... Not so much.

" That's not a good idea."

Annie raised a brow. " Why?"

" Because it takes about seven years to reach Europa."

Annie blinked. " What?!" She screeched.

Mia nodded.

" But how did she get there in... I dunno... Ten seconds?!" Morro yelled.

Mia sighed. " How should I know? She's your wife."
