"Ugg," Jay holds up a thin sheet of paper as we leave the bunk, "How'd I get so many chores?"

I half roll my eyes as Willow and Kit have been roped into a few chores, "Mabey it was because you skipped a few dozen other chore days."

Zane finds a small shed with all our cleaning supplies, "We kept telling you to do them."

Cole reaches in and passes out sponges, "At least we'll have quite for a little longer."

Jay sighs as Lloyd gives him a dust pan, "I'm gonna be up 'till midnight."

Willow half ignores us as she hands Kit a duster, "No. If you start now, you'll only be up until 11:59."

We snicker as Jay huffs and walks away while looking like a super maid.

[Hours later]

"Almost," I have Lloyd cornered in the Fist2fist2 game as Zane, Cole, and Kit cheer me on while Willow is freakishly quiet, "Wait...no.no. no!"  I almost burn up the controller as Lloyd used that one cheat move against me.

Lloyd whoops and hollers, "I FINALLY DID IT! AFTER PLAYING THAT GAME FOREVER, I FINALLY BEAT KAI!"

Katara then walks in while covering her ears, "That's what all the excitement is about? A video game?"

I toss the controller down as Lloyd looks for his next opponent, "It's not just a game. It's Fist2fist2. That game I once ruled at."

Lloyd snickers as Nya rolls her eyes with Willow, "You know the only other person I'd like to beat? Morro."  We look around but no sign of the Master of Wind, "Where'd he go?"

"Oh," Katara points towards the hallway, "He's cleaning something as Jay 'supervises'."

That's not right, Sensei said that our brand new guest wouldn't have chores for a while. I stand up and lean out the doorpost to see Morro sweeping as Jay plays Angry birds on his phone.

Jay must have just lost with how a piggy snorts, "Nice! I've never seen a cleaner floor."

Morro gives some weird smile as he stands up, "So...are we good?"

Jay gets a devilish smirk on his face, "Almost."  He pulls out the thin piece of paper from earlier, "I just don't know if I can trust you with-"  Jay's smirk grows wider as he puts more emphasis on the word trust.

"No. No, you can trust me."  Morro takes the paper.

"Good, I'll be right back. I have to investigate the inside of my eyelids while on my bed."  Jay turns around towards the boys' bunk as Morro drags a pile of cleaning tools with a rope.

I can feel my brothers close to me as they watch too. Kit grunts a little, "I knew Jay wasn't the hardest worker but.."

I stand up as Morro keep pulling the stuff down towards us, "No. That's just not cool," then an idea pops into my head, "I have a plan," everyone looks scared except for Willow, who looks more like stone, "It's not that bad. I just need Jay distracted while the guys and I talk to Morro."

Nya heads out first, "I guess girls are distractions this time around."  She leads Kit, Katara, and Willow to where Jay's taking a nap.

I step out in front of Morro as he fades thought me, "Whatch ya doing?"

Morro keeps walking and almost runs me over with the cleaning tool pial, "Take a guess."

Zane leans on the cleaning pial as Morro's forced to stop, "You know you do not have to do this, right?"
