Chapter 9

Anonymous 5: You'll learn soon ;) and I made you a promise earlier didn't I? Oh and I added a hint int this chapter and I hope you can find out Lloyd's secret before he tells them at the end of the chapter.

The Mayor of Ninjago City: Thanks! I'm very happy (and a little surprised) that it did!

LabRatFlutieKat: That was my exact reaction when I got the idea! It was when
I was on vacation and it randomly came to me... and I might have ran around the resort saying OMG! and AHHH! It got mixed responses from my family. It's also why I put The Art of Roasting Smores on hold, too excited for this... and now that I think about it I should really write the next chapter for that sometime...

there was a awkward 5 seconds were nobody said a thing, in fact it seemed that everybody in New Ninjago City froze during those five seconds, (Lloyd was pretty sure it was actually much longer than five seconds) Lloyd was sure that there was sweat dripping down his face, he was starting to rethink this now. His mom was right to worry about him chickening out, he almost did...

"Yes!"

Lloyd looked about at Cass, had he heard her right? "What? wait really?!" Lloyd asked

Cass nodded rapidly, "Yes!" Cass said again.

Lloyd gawked at her, "Wow! this is actually happening we're engaged!" Lloyd proclaimed to himself.

And then Lloyd cupped his hands around Cass's face and kissed her, it might have been the shortest least romantic kiss that ever took place, but it was Lloyd's and Cass's first real kiss.

"Um... should I come back later?"

Lloyd and Cass broke apart to see there waiter had walked in to take there order, during the few seconds there kiss had taken place.

Cass turned to Lloyd and shrugged, "No its fine, we'll order now" Cass awkwardly said as the two sat down

The waiter timidly walked over too the two, "So, um what would you two like to drink" His eyes widened as he saw the opened black box reviling the engagement ring, surely he knew about the the couple before tonight.

Lloyd was the first to order, "Can I please have coke?" the waiter nodded as he wrote the order down.

Cass smiled at Lloyd, "Can I please have iced tea?" Cass asked the waiter wrote her order down as well, and then quickly got out of there no doubt to tell all the staff about what he had witnessed.

Lloyd groaned, "And by tomorrow this will be public knowledge" Lloyd then noticed Cass hadn't put on the ring yet; Lloyd took the ring out of its box, Cass gave Lloyd him her hand and Lloyd slide it on her finger.

Cass grinned at him, "I'm so excited Lloyd! when were you thinking the wedding should be?" Cass asked

Lloyd shrugged, "I was kind of hoping you would have some idea, i didn't know what season you would want it to be in or if you wanted till you graduated college." Lloyd explained

Cass pondered this for a second, "I would like a early fall wedding, so its not to hot, and I could probably finish college in a year..." Cass said

Lloyd titled his head, "Finish college in two years! how in the world are you going to do that?" Lloyd asked

Cass shrugged, "I actually took all my general classes at a local college during high school, so that cut off a year, and then I could take more classes in the day and go to school during the summer... So we could either do it this year or next year when I graduate." Cass explained

Lloyd nodded, "Okay that makes a little bit more sense.. the smart thing to do would probably be to wait till you graduate, even though I would really prefer this year." Lloyd said as he wondered if he could wait almost a year and a half.

Lloyd turned to Cass, "You know that even once we are married I doubt we will get much privacy, i mean ever. Even after we get married we will probably both both still have to live in the Bounty, because I still have to train and you are probably going to get a full time job as our medic. The main difference would be we would get our own room. And you know we will still have to fight all the time, so not normal at all" Lloyd said frowning a little bit as he said this.

Cass smiled, "Hey it's okay, I figured as much, but we still get a honeymoon right?"Cass asked

Lloyd's eyes widened, "the honeymoon! I completely forgot that part! But of course we are going on a honeymoon! by the way where would you like to go?"' Lloyd asked Cass.

Cass pondered this for a moment, "No idea actually, lets just focus on the wedding first... WAIT! we still haven't told anyone! how are we going to tell them?" Cass asked Lloyd.

Lloyd smirked, "don't worry already planned that, Cass you have a specific date you would like the wedding to be on?"

The rest of the date went almost perfect, except the fireworks at the end, ending with them spelling out Kai's name, Lloyd knew putting Kai in charge of the fireworks was a mistake, Cass thought that was hilarious though.

Lloyd and Cass walk in the Destiny's Bounty to see everybody including Misako and Sensei Wu watching some sort of horror movie, Lloyd walked over and turned it off, seeing it was the credits.

Lloyd smiled at them, "Hey guys, we're back, how was the movie?" Lloyd asked the group.

Jay was the first to speak, "horrible! the children took over! they killed everyone and drank their blood!" Jay shook his heads as if remembering the horrors.

Cole nodded, "yeah I've got to agree with Jay, it was pretty scary." Cole confirmed what Jay said

Nya shrugged, "Eh, I'm surprised the children didn't eat the bodies too" Nya said seeming bored with the whole movie.

All the ninja gave her a look, "What?!" Kai demanded

Nya shrugged, "I'm just saying it would make more sense." Nya tried to explain.

Lloyd frowned, "Um... okay?" and just right as he finished that the door bell rang

Jay shot up, "I'll get it!" and ran to the door.

Jay returned with seven fancy looking envelopes, "Well it seems that we have all been invited to something, there is one for you Kai, Zane, Cole, Nya, ME!, Sensei, and... Misako." Jay said as he finished passing around the invitations, Jay frowned, "Huh, seems they forgot you Lloyd, maybe next year!" Jay said as he turned to open his invitation

Jay started to read, "Save the Date. You have been invited to the wedding of Cassandra Greene and Lloyd Garmadon..." Jay stopped to process what he had just read, "The wedding of of Cassandra Greene and Lloyd Garmadon..."" Jay's eyes widened, "YOU ARE ENGAGED?!" Jay yelled at the couple.

Cole laughed, "Haha funny joke Lloyd..." Cole froze when he saw Cass hold up her hand, showing the engagement ring.

Zane started to spark, "This. Does not. Compute!"

Nya's eyes widened, "Oh my gosh Cass you're getting married! i'm so happy for you!" Nya said, as she started mentally planning the wedding.

Kai held up both his hands, "Wait what about the secret!" Kai demanded to know.

Lloyd frowned, "I thought this was the secret you were talking about... I don't remember any other secrets..." Lloyd frowned trying to remember if he had any other secrets.

Kai gave him a look, "Yeah right! in the phone call you said something about not even telling us, and that you won't chicken out at the last moment!" Kai yelled back, sure Lloyd was lying

Lloyd sighed, "I didn't tell you guys about the engagement till after I asked, and that was about not chicken out on asking Cass." Lloyd explained.

Kai rolled his eyes, "Yeah sure, but there's more, What about, you asking where to get 'it?' and you saying you having a good spot to hide 'it?'" Kai demanded and answer.

Lloyd sighed, "I wanted to know to know where jeweler that made my parents ring worked so I could have him make one for Cass." Lloyd continued.

Kai groaned, "Then what about that last part about, not letting the public know, you acting different, AND! they, which I assume is us, will all hate you now but you have no choice!" Kai said raising an eyebrow, Lloyd was going to have a hard time explaining that one.

Lloyd rolled his eyes, "Well of course I don't want to public to know! have you seen the new companies?! half the world would show up at me and Cass's wedding! And of course of course I'll act different I'm ENGAGED!" Lloyd explained, "And when I said that I was talking about my fans, they are all going to try to murder me and Cass if they find out! and when I said I have no choice you didn't hear the last part! It was something about falling in love and Cass being amazing!" Lloyd retorted back getting annoyed.

Kai frowned, "Okay but still who was on the other side of the line?" Kai asked Lloyd.

Misako raised her hand, "That would be me, like Lloyd said earlier he wanted to know what jeweler had made my engagement ring" Misako explained to Kai.

Kai frowned, "Oh well sorry Lloyd for thinking you wee going to betray us." Kai said

Lloyd frowned at him, "wait what?!" Lloyd demanded, what did Kai think he was doing?

Kai waved off Lloyd's shock, "We are ninja Lloyd, weirder things have happened" Kai said.

Lloyd slowly nodded.

Jay stood Up, "I just have one question!" he turned to Lloyd, "who's going to be your best man?" Jay asked

School starting in two days! Ahhh! So Hope you enjoyed this chapter, tell me in the reviews who you want to be the best man!
