{Location: Over a large lake}(Jay's POV)

"It's always something attacking Ninjago, huh?"  Nya tigtly grips my waist as I soar over stretches of water.

After our last few weeks together, this gets me to suttor and blush a little, "At least we got a little time to um..."

"Get to know each other."

"Yeah," even if the first time was above and beyond awkward, "But's going to be great to see the guys again."  Once we saw the city being attacked (again) on the news, we had very little time to get out. And we didn't exactly plan to pack for when we got back. Leaving me and Nya to were embarsing torusty style clothes. Matching t-shirts with flowers. Lucky us.

"Hope Kai's holding out ok."  Her fingertip brush over my thighs as I squill like a little kid on the inside, "But I'm sure they understand if we were a bit longer."

I catch myself lowering the dragon, "I um."

BANG!

The sound of a gunshot steals my attention.

I lower the dragon much faster now, "Was that a gun?"

"I guess we are making a pit stop," Nya doesn't sound too happy about the idea this time.

Oh ew, Stixxs.  "We can always stop somewhere else if you want to."

"Nah, we might as well when we're in the neighborhood. Just wished," she stretches that word out just to tease me, "we brought our ninja uniforms."

My dragon disappears on the dock as we spinjutzu towards the sound, "I think we'll be fine."

More gunshots rings.

Nya actually gets thers first.  "Ronin?"

I spin to a stop and gawk at the mess in front of his shop. It looks like the crappy pawn shop threw up all of the junky insides. And sure enough, Ronin holding a shotgun of all things sits near a pial of cash, "Since when do you own a shotgun?"

Ronin pulls out the empty bullet, "For a while. You guys are so busy saving the world, it's kinda hard to keep up with what your allies are up to."  He reloads it as a kid tries swiping a set of toy keys, "Timmy,  you touch it you buy it."

Timmy scrams, half hiding behind a crat.

Nya stomps over his stuff and grabs the barrel end of the gun, "Ok, mabey you've had enough of this."

"What?"  Ronin lets go as I climb up, "I was just having a friendly yard sale."

"While threatening thieves with a shotgun," I steady myself on a crate, "Why happened to selling this stuff INSIDE your store?"

"Eh," Ronin wipes his brow, "I sold it."

"What?"

"I sold it. Look, I'm doing whatever I can to sell this crap off and be on my way. Either help out or get off my junk."  He takes the gun back.

"So why don't you just claim that all of this is ninja stuff?"  Why would I say that? 

Ronin's face lights up, "There's a thought. Now scram, I've got merch to push," he pulls a megaphone out from the pial, "ATTENTION EVERYONE, I HAVE LIMITED NINJA MERCHANDISE. AND AS AN ADDED BONUS, I'VE GOT THE NEWLYWEDS JAY AND NYA HERE FOR AUTOGRAPHS!"

Sooner then I can blink, I'm surrounded by teenage girls with posters and sharpies for me.

Nya growls as she automatically starts signing stuff, "Thanks."

"Each item signed is 5 dollars. Come over here to pay up!"  He tosses the megaphone and the gun away, "Almost forgot, congratulations on the marriage."

"Yeah," I put on a fake smile as I sign away, "Thank you for exploiting it." 

I moan on the insides. Knowing my brothers they'll be able to hold off the brunt of the attack.

Probably.
