I love JayxNya fics! That's why I decided to write one of my own! Yaaay!

Warning: This story is super cute.

"Jay! Don't run so fast!" the six-year old girl squealed as she chased said boy around her small backyard. Jay didn't stop running as he turned his head and smirked at her, bright blue eyes gleaming mischievously. His striped, aqua pyjamas were loose on his slender frame, about two sizes too big for him, and flowed behind him as he ran, still evading the girl's grasp. His chestnut hair had long overgrown, it now reaching the base of his neck, but the girl couldn't help but note how cute he looked with it dangling in front of his eyes.

"You're running too slow, Nya!" the seven-year old boy shouted back, allowing an eager joking tone to enter his words so that Nya wasn't offended. "You'll never be able to catch me! I'm as fast as a ninja!" Seeing his best friend's growing frustration, Jay pretended to trip, landing lightly on his hands in the soft grass. He heard Nya's swift footsteps coming closer to him until the weight of one of her feet was placed on Jay's back.

"I got you!" she said triumphantly. She quickly released Jay and helped him up, only for him to mess up her hair in return. Jay took delight in her giggle, and heard a call from Nya's house. He bolted inside the nice cottage, Nya close behind him, and sat down at the table.

Nya's mother had a warm smile as she held a platter of snacks and laid it on the table before the two friends. "Thank you, Mrs. Igneous," Jay said, grabbing a chocolate chip cookie and unceremoniously stuffing it in his mouth. Once he swallowed, he asked, "Where's Kai?"

Before her mother could reply, Nya said, "Daddy's teaching Kai how to make a sword!"

"Not a sword, Nya," Mrs. Igneous giggled, "just a small knife. Kai's too little to make a sword."

"But he's eight!" Nya protested, as Jay ate yet another cookie.

"Daddy first made a real sword when he was twelve," Nya's mother pointed out. She handed Jay a napkin to clean his chocolate-covered face. "Oh, Jay, you're mother called. I'm going to drive you home today. You two have about thirty more minutes."

Jay nodded. "Okay." He placed a cookie in his mouth, another in his pyjama pockets, and jumped down from the table. He waited for Nya to eat her share of snacks, and the started walking to their shop after she finished. Kai and Mr. Igneous were working in the fire, though the elder didn't let Kai near the hot coals. "Hi, Kai!" Jay said. Kai was like his older brother, just as Nya was a little sister to him. He spent almost every day at the Igneous's house while his mom was at work and his dad was busy inventing things. Not that he minded. Nya was tons of fun to play with and Kai was a good person to just talk to. In fact, they were so much like his family that on multiple occasions Jay had accidentally called Mr. and Mrs. Igneous Mom and Dad.

Kai smiled widely. "Hey there."

"Are you really making a sword?" Jay asked, wide eyed.

Kai chuckled. "I wish! But Daddy says I'm still too young. But look what I did make!" He held out a small pointed object, it gleaming in the dim sunlight. Jay gasped. It was a dagger, about as big as Kai's forearm, but a little bit curved.

"Cool! I wish my mom would let me try!" Jay pouted. As much as Jay's parents loved and trusted the Igneous's, they didn't want to risk putting their boy in danger. That doesn't mean helping his dad with his inventing career, but it does mean making a sword with Mr, Igneous. What the difference was, Jay didn't know, but he never questioned it.

"Jay! Nya! Time to leave!" Mrs Igneous called. Wow, thirty minutes had passed already?

"Can I come too, Mom?" Kai asked.

"Of course," came her sweet answer.

All three kids piled into Mrs. Igneous's minivan and set off for Jay's house. Jay knew that his mother would talk to Mrs. Igneous for hours, so they would get extra time to play!

After what seemed like no time, they pulled into the driveway of the Walker residence. Jay, Kai, and Nya jumped out of the car and ran into Jay's house, while Mrs. Igneous and Edna started conversing. Kai and Nya ran through the house and into the Walkers' extensive backyard, while Jay hung behind to get a drink of water. He heard a low chatter coming from the family room. Curious as to what the mothers might be talking about, he sneaked into the room, stealthy as a ninja.

"...moving to Ninjago this summer. We're having some financial issues since Ed got laid off from his job," Edna concluded.

Jay had no idea what 'financial' meant, but he understood the words 'moving to Ninjago this summer.' Confused, Jay stopped his stealth mission and ran to his mother. "What do you mean moving, Mom?" he asked softly. "Are we leaving Ignacia?"

"Jay..." Edna clearly thought through her words. "Daddy's having some trouble at work and he needs to move to Ninjago to find a new job. We were going to tell you after it's all sorted out, but..."

"But what?!" Jay nearly screamed, now crying his eyes out. "You said this summer. Nya's turning seven in November! We can't miss that!"

"Jay, let's talk about this..."

But Jay ignored her and ran into his room, jumping on his bed and crying into his pillow. How could Mom and Dad do this to him! Making him move away to Ninjago, of all places, away from Kai and Nya, who were nearly siblings to him. He couldn't move, he just couldn't! He would never see Kai make a sword, never see Nya turn seven! Jay cried harder and harder. He hoped Kai and Nya already left. He didn't want them to see him like this. He didn't want anyone to see him like this.

Why Ninjago?
