Jay and Cole laughs laughter echoed around the Temple as Nya cuddled up with her brother on the couch in the gaming room. They were watching a movie with Lloyd lounging in the bean bag chair to the right of them. Kai was still adjusting to life back at the Temple, especially seeing that he was now having to get used to Jay and Cole being werewolves all the time.

Kai jumped, tensing up as a loud bark from across the Temple hit his ears. His grasp on his sister tightened as Nya looked over at him.

"You're fine," she brushed him off. "They aren't going to hurt you."

"Yeah, right," Kai breathed in and out, calming himself down.

Lloyd glanced back at him, concern written all over his face.

"You weren't this jumpy before," Lloyd frowned. "Every time Cole or Jay bark, howl or make any noise, you jump. What's up?"

"It's because I haven't come in contact with a werewolf in years," Kai replied. "Other than the recent events. Before that, it was years ago, and it nearly killed me!"

Lloyd turned away, realizing he had struck a nerve. Then Zane walked in the door.

"Is everything alright in here?" he asked.

"Yeah, we're all fine," Nya nodded to him.

Zane smiled, glancing to see Lloyd back to watching the movie. Then there was shouting from upstairs.

"Give that back!" Jay's voice shouted. "I need it!"
"I just wanted to see!" Cole cried.

"Then I'm going to go look in your sketchbook!" Jay responded.

"Don't you dare!" Cole shouted. "Jay!"

Then there were multiple loud thumps, which sounded like something, or rather, someone, falling down the stairs. Everyone was on their feet and racing towards the stairs, seeing Jay and Cole on the ground, moaning.

"That was your fault," Jay muttered.

"Yeah, yeah," Cole groaned.

"Are you two alright?" Lloyd asked.

"Yeah, we're fine," Jay answered.

Cole scrambled to his feet while Jay spoke with Lloyd. Jay noticed and grabbed Cole's ankle and he face planted.

"We aren't done here," Jay growled.

Cole rolled onto his back, watching Jay turned to him.

"Hey, why don't we play a game?" Lloyd suggested, hoping the two wouldn't tear each other apart.

"Hide and seek," Cole said, pushing away from Jay and jumping to his feet. "Jay's it."
Before Jay could argue, everyone bolted off. He sighed, sitting on the floor.

"Every single time," he muttered.

He counted to thirty before getting to his feet and heading off to find the others. He walked towards the bedrooms and picked up Lloyd's scent almost immediately. He turned and walked into his room, where he found Lloyd in the closet.

"I thought I would have lasted longer," Lloyd muttered.

"You hide in one of the easiest spots to find," Jay said. "Plus, you should know that I check the bedrooms first."

Lloyd sighed, following Jay. He looked around, trying to figure out where someone else might be. Hen he heard Lloyd chuckled behind him. He turned around, seeing Lloyd smirking.

"What's so funny, greenie?" Jay asked.

"Nothing, nothing," Lloyd chuckled.

Jay turned, looking around him. Then he noticed Nya's head pop out from behind the couch.

"Found you, Nya," Jay grinned.

"I know," Nya grinned, climbing over the couch. "I've been watching you."

Jay shook his head, laughing. Then he walked towards the kitchen. Instead of finding someone hiding, he found Zane making food. He frowned.
"What happened to hide and seek?" Jay asked.

"I thought that since it was almost lunch time, so I would make lunch for everyone while you all play," Zane explained.

"Fine, you two can stay here," Jay told Nya and Lloyd. "If you want to, I mean."

Nya and Lloyd both took their places at the table and Zane cooked and Jay headed off to find Kai and Cole.

Kai glanced to Cole, who smiled at him as they hid on the balcony on the second floor. Although Kai would be startled at moments, they were all still a family and had fun together. They hadn't been found yet, and were enjoying catching up.

"So, you're adjusting well then?" Kai smiled.

"Yeah," Cole nodded. "I mean, when Jay and I aren't at each other's throats, he's teaching me a lot."

"Werewolves are known for being aggressive around others, and fight for dominance," Kai said.

"You know that?" Cole asked.

"I've studied werewolves, felines, fledglings and chameleons," Kai smiled. "I know all about every one."

Cole smiled.

"Like how you can't have chocolate anymore," Kai sighed.

"Those chocolate cakes," Cole sighed. "They were my favourite."

"You know there are substitutes for chocolate," Kai said. "It's what Jay always has. I know because he bought it once while we were out."

"Cool," Cole smiled. "That means I can still have my cake."

"The place Jay and I would go to was called Chocolateer," Kai said. "They have the best chocolate in Ninjago, and substitutes too. It's only a couple blocks from the Noodle House."

"We should go the three of us," Cole smiled.

"Yeah," Kai nodded.

"Found you!"

Kai and Cole both screamed, Jay jumping out onto the balcony. Kai jumped to his feet, stumbled backwards and into the railing. Cole scrambled to grab his hand as the railing gave out, but missed. Kai fell a couple feet before something grabbed his ankle. He looked up to see Jay holding his right ankle tightly. He looked down, seeing Nya, Lloyd and Zane run outside.

"Hold on, Kai," Jay muttered.

Jay attempted to pull Kai up, but started losing his grasp. Cole reached down.

"Grab my hand, Kai," he said.

Kai reached for it, hoping to grab it. They were inches apart when he slipped from Jay's grasp and started tumbling through the air. Cole and Jay both screamed to him, but Cole was the first to act. He pushed off the balcony, grabbing Kai's hands as Jay grabbed Cole's ankles. They all stopped falling as Jay held them up.

"Lloyd! Get on my shoulders!" Zane cried. "We need to get them down!"

Lloyd nodded, running over to Zane. Zane kneeled down as Lloyd climbed on his shoulder. The nindroid lifted him up and he was able to reach Kai's legs.

"I've got you, Kai," Lloyd said. "Cole! Let go!"

Kai looked too Lloyd as he and Cole released each other. Lloyd and Zane got Kai to the ground as Jay pulled Cole back up onto the balcony.

"Alright, new rule," Lloyd muttered. "No one goes on the balcony until we get the railing replaced."

Everyone laughed, nodding in agreement. Life was back to normal after their adventure, and they could finally relax.

That's it. It's done. Another story is finally complete. I hope everyone enjoyed it.

As for the next while, there might not be a new story. I know, I know, it's summer, I can totally upload a bunch. My issue is, I'm having difficulties with a couple of the stories I want to write. My thought, I might write through the summer, but work until i finish the stories before I upload them to make the the best I can. Then again, I might not. Who knows. I don't. XD

Anyways, I'll be gone for a while, so I hope you have a great day, enjoy summer (or winter wherever you are) and see you later.
