Ready or Not (A Ninjago Fanfiction- ORIGINAL)

Prologue

It's been a normal day at the noodle house, and as is not uncommon, the Ninja have been eating dinner there. At first things seem to be uneventful, until an all-too-familiar figure walks in the door...

Chen: Hello, noodle house! I've missed you so much!

Skylor: Dad??? I thought you were... well... banished... O.o

Chen: Skylor! I've missed you too! *tries to hug her, but she steps back. He sulks slightly* Yes I was banished, but I escaped!

By now the Ninja have approached, confused by this strange reappearance of an old enemy.

Kai: That shouldn't be possible- no one escapes the Cursed Realm! How in Ninjago did you get out? And how are you... well, not a ghost? Or a snake?

Chen: Well, the author couldn't figure out anything logical, so she just left the plot holes-

Chen! We agreed you wouldn't speak of this to anyone!

Chen: Ah, right, right, I'm sorry.

*awkward pause*

Jay: ...And that's not disturbing in the slightest O.o

Skylor: *hands on hips* Alright, so you escaped. That brings us to the next question- what do you want???

Chen: I've changed my ways! Being evil is so boring! I thought I'd be better off using my time to get to know my future inlaws! *puts his arm around Kai*

Kai: *quickly steps back* Um, that's a nice thought, but I think I'm okay-

Chen: But why not? Don't you want to get to know your future father-in-law?

Skylor: Dad, I think what he's trying to say is we're all extremely busy... like, I dunno, for the rest of our lives...

Chen: Nonsense! No one is too busy for a little road trip!

Skylor: Yeah, you know what, definitely too busy-

Chen: Oh come now! You're no fun! It would only be for a week or so! Besides I already made arrangements for the noodle house while you're gone! *starts dragging Skylor toward the door*

Skylor: *pulls away* Alright, alright- under one condition...

Chen: And what is that?

Skylor: ...I get to drive. *grabs her keys*
