Countdown to Destruction: Day 0
          
          “Endings are never really endings, but only new beginnings” ~The First Spinjitzu Master
          
          Here’s to hoping this isn’t the end of something, but rather the beginning of something beautiful!
          
          Nya: You have to make your last wish. You're the only one who can stop him.
          
          Jay: No. Not if that means losing you.
          
          Nya: I never wanted to be part of your boy's club anyway.
          
          Jay: No, Nya. Don't say that.
          
          Nya: Guess it's true. The greatest love stories do always end in tragedy.
          
          (She dies. All the ninja look on in grief. Nadakhan takes the sword. Jay sobs silently.)
          
          Jay: I wish you had taken my hand, (sobbing silently.) and no one ever found that teapot in the first place.
          
          Nadakhan: (He drops the sword.) Your wish...is yours to keep.
          
          (Nadakhan falls and time starts to reverse.)
          
          Past Nya: The reason you're the only one I've ever let into my heart. Even before you saw a glimpse into our future, I saw it too. You have the wish.
          
          Past Lloyd: You'll need it.
          
          Past Jay: For when?
          
          Past Lloyd: For when it's said from the heart.

@vj_buchanan Well...
            
            After originally planning on telling her, in person, how I felt on June 7th, I aborted the original plan due to how emotional that day was for her. I then decided to call her on June 9th to tell her how I felt. In that phone call, I started talking about how great of a person she is and how much she made me smile whenever she was around. I ended the phone call by confessing that I have feelings for her. She then commended me on how brave I was to confess to her, stating that she'd never have the guts to do something like that. She then mentioned that she isn't really looking for a relationship right now. Lastly, she said I could still visit her at her work if I wanted to, so hopefully that means things won't be too awkward between us. 
            
            On a brighter note, although this Is unrelated, and I'm not sure if you remember me talking about her, but I saw Sophie at the BLS graduation yesterday! I wasn't sure if she would be there, but she messaged me out of the blue while Concert Choir was performing a song. She said that she missed singing with me so much. I told her that I was also at the graduation. We talked for a few minutes after the graduation ended. We gave each other a hug and took a few pictures. I still feel quite happy from seeing her yesterday which has caused me to feel somewhat better about the rejection from my crush. I also saw Dylan, Jadelyn and Devin at the graduation which was pretty cool!

Countdown to Destruction: 1 day?
          
          So this video showed up on my YouTube recommended page:
          
          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BnU5a5z1J8
          
          Considering the majority of the people there ended up getting their crush to say yes, I hope this is a good sign for what might happen tomorrow.
          
          Lloyd: Morro is the Green Ninja. And he's stolen the Realm Crystal. I tried, Father...
          
          Garmadon: You must not give up. If he has the Crystal, all is endangered.
          
          Lloyd: But how? I'm not the Green Ninja anymore.
          
          Garmadon: It was never the color of the gi that made you who you are. It was the color of your heart. Don't give up.
          
          Lloyd: I won't, Father.
          
          Garmadon: You must leave here and destroy the Preeminent. Save Ninjago. Save the Realms.
          
          Lloyd: But if I destroy it, it could destroy you.
          
          Garmadon: Whatever happens to me, wherever I am, I will always be with you. There comes a time when every boy must become a man. What sort of man, is up to him.

          You know what's strange? I have had this odd confidence boost in the past couple of days. Part of me now feels like this is actually going to go really well. Maybe this additional confidence boost is exactly what I need. I already have a plan in motion for how things are gonna go, and I know what I want to say. The issue is gonna come in whether I follow through with the plan.
          
          (From the episode "The Temple on Haunted Hill" from Season 5 of Ninjago)
          
          Kai: Just so we're not surprised, Zane, Jay, what sort of things are you afraid of?
          
          Zane: Ah! I think I know what I'm afraid of! (They see Morro.) It's Morro! (Everyone screams.)
          
          Cole: Of all the times to have to fight him again.
          
          Jay: Ugh, and he already knows Airjitzu. We don't stand a chance!
          
          Kai: Wait a minute. If we're all afraid of Morro, this must be the next test. And how are we supposed to save Lloyd if we don't even have the courage to face him?

          Jay: I know we've always drawn a crowd, but this is ridiculous. (Fighting the Stone warriors)
          
          Kai: How can you be making jokes at a time like this?
          
          Jay: Hey, if I'm going down, might as well go down laughing.
          
          Zane: If this is how we're going to go down, I'm proud to be fighting alongside my brothers.

Countdown to Destruction: 4 days?
          
          Cole: That's not gonna last forever. (Referring to the barrier used to keep the Oni away from the Monastery)
          
          Jay: (Realizes what he must do) Nya. I have to ask you something important.
          
          Nya: What? Now?
          
          Jay: Yes, now. (Gets on one knee and looks at Nya) Nya, you make me so happy everyday. When we're not together, I miss you so much that it feels like part of me is missing. Will you be my Yang? (Ninjago's equivalent of Will You Marry Me)
          
          Cole: Now you're asking?
          
          Kai: We seriously need to talk about your sense of timing, Jay!
          
          Jay: There may not be another time.
          
          Jay is right. There may not be another time, so I have to make sure I do this right. Moments like these are why Ninjago will always be my comfort show to watch.

Countdown to Destruction: 5 days?
          
          I might as well just confess. After all, I’m never gonna see her again after Tuesday. I guess there is no turning back. I’m sorry, me in about a week from now, if you go through another summer of sadness because of this. Hopefully it won’t be as bad as it was last year

Countdown to Destruction: 10 days?
          
          Fear is beginning to step in on how things could end. Each day, I grow less and less confident that a friendship could be maintained if she doesn’t reciprocate. Today, I saw her and I couldn’t help it stutter when I tried talking to her. Where did all my confidence go? Not like I had much to begin with, but at least before I seemed to do just fine. Now I can’t seem to do that anymore. Even before I walked to her, I could feel my stomach tightening at the thought of seeing her, as if I was scared or something. 
          
          Maybe I shouldn’t do this. After all, it’s not like we’ll ever see each other again after 10 days. 
          
          I wish I can turn off my emotion meter like Zane from Ninjago.

Countdown to Destruction: 11 Days?
          
          Of course, it has to rain tomorrow, ugh. Why couldn't the rain wait until Sunday or Monday? I guess it's just gonna have to be a repeat of my birthday when I visited her while she was working and it was raining

Countdown to Destruction: 12 Days? 
          
          Yesterday, someone told me that perhaps I shouldn't decide to tell her how I feel on an arbitrary date. They said I should wait until the moment is right. If I go with this, I guess that would mean the Day of Destruction would come like a thief in the night; without warning.
