A Deal is a Deal

Ninjago was back at its peaceful state. After everything that happened, the ninja tried to accept Harumi (mostly because of Lloyd). But trust doesn't rebuild overnight. They kept their guard up, because with Harumi, you never know what might happen.

Harumi had moved into the Monastery after its reconstruction, thanks to the people of Ninjago. She acted like she belonged there, because in her mind, she did, but peace never really lasted long when she was around.

Especially when it came to Kai.

The red ninja and Harumi had an ongoing rivalry that nobody asked for and nobody could escape from. Arguments were frequent. Peace was never optional.

Kai complained about it constantly to Lloyd, who had long since stopped responding properly.

Then one morning at exactly five o'clock, everything escalated.
Kai's hair gel went missing again

What followed was a chase through the monastery, a stolen item, a locked bedroom door, and a very exhausted Lloyd who had absolutely no intention of being involved in any of it.

But somehow, he ended up in the middle anyway.

And in a moment of sleep-deprived frustration, Lloyd made a joke.

A very stupid joke.

One Harumi took seriously.

And that was the moment everything went wrong.

But what was the bet that made Lloyd suffer?
