Ultimate Jaya Book!!
❗❗❗Before anything else, do view the first chapter, it has some words for you to read before you dive into this book. This rushed story was written by a pre-teen so bear with it (Actual writer talking here, this was 4 years ago already)❗❗❗ My Ultimate Collection of Fanfics of Ninjago's Power Couple: JAYA! Some Chapters May Include This Little Emoji: '💚' It means that in said chapter Lloyd is adopted by Nya and Jay! CTTO for the Story Cover!... I do not own Ninjago or any of the characters used, I only own the story and my OC's! Highest Ranking: #1-NinjagoJaya (Like 4 years ago)
