"Nya?"
"Nya?"
"Nya?"
"What!?"
"Are we there yet?"
The raven flared her nostrils "For the millionth time, No Lloyd we are not there yet!"
It had only been three hours since they set off for the road and Lloyd was of course bored out of his mind.
At first he decided to look at the road but then he got tired of looking at the continuous chain of buildings of different sizes. Then he decided to see if something good was finally airing on cartoon network but unsurprisingly, there wasn't. So watching T.v. was scratched of his metamorphical list of things-to-do-on-a-long-car-ride. Then he decided to make a paper boat city but realized that he didn't know origami so he immediately gave that up. He even tried to play catch with Jole but the robot either wasn't programmed to such a thing or simply didn't want to.
And that's how he ended up behind Nya's seat, he would sometimes kick it, but most of the time he would ask if they had arrived to their destination.
"Listen, why don't you go and play with Jole or something." Said Nya who was very tired of him complaining and kicking her seat.
"I already tried playing catch with him! He didn't understand anything!" The blond replied.
"What are you talking about? He's able to understand my physics lectures! There's no way he can't understand a simple game of catch!" Nya protested. She then proceeded to crumple the coffee cup which was emptied by her a few minutes ago "Hey Jole! Let's play a game of catch!" She threw it at the said robot who immediately caught it and threw it back at her.
"How did you-"
"Just politely ask him. You did do that right?"
Lloyd suddenly remembered screaming 'Catch the ball!' To Jole.
Never did he think that he would be able to annoy an emotionless hunk of metal on wheels.
"I see a diner nearby. Anyone hungry?" Kai asked a while later earning a chorus of "yes", and a particularly loud one from Cole.
But instead of getting outside as Lloyd hoped too, they pulled up at a small window and grabbed their meal to-go.
But on the bright side, his mom wasn't here; which meant that he and his dad could get whatever they wanted without being scolded for getting something too unhealthy.
"And if you find this girl." The girl at the window showed them a picture of a girl with short hair "Tell her that if she admits to ship Garmeena, she's getting free meals for life!"
"Yes we will, bye." Nya answered as though she was reading a shopping list and drove off.
Burgers were then passed around the R.V with Cole getting a large tray full of them. "What? I paid for all of these so I am going to eat all of these!" He responded to the amount of people staring at him.
Lloyd immediately munched his double cheese burger while spilling a bit of sauce here and there.
What was even better was that an awesome performance had started! What happened was that Kai opened a sauce packet a little too violently and accidentally spilled some sauce on on the floor including his hair and Jay's phone. The latter started freaking out and frantically tried wipe off the sauce while trying not to dissconect from the game he was playing. Meanwhile Kai started screaming and rushed to the bathroom to fix his hair and accidentally knocked over one of Cole's many burgers which made the raven attack him with a shoe.
Poor Jole was zooming around the place the entire time, completely overwhelmed by the large mess of sauces, shoes and burgers that the three boys had created in just two minutes. In fact he got so overwhelmed that he put a paper bag over his head and ran into Nya's arms for comfort since she was his only comfort human.
Garmadon clapped his hands "A marvelous performance! Though I would've preferred if there was less screaming, It really makes my ears hurt."
~*~*~*~TWO HOURS LATER~*~*~*~
"Lloyd, you really shouldn't drink too many of those. It'll turn into the water park incident all over again." Kai said in a warning tone as he watched Lloyd sitting on the floor, emptying juice box after juice box.
"I agree, we don't want that to happen all over again." Garmadon said.
"I was promised that there would be yoyos inside these and I've found four so far. So there's no way I'm letting the yoyos in my remaining juice boxes to rot in the juice." Lloyd ripped open the now empty box to find an inch long, lime green yoyo inside it.
"What exactly happened in that incident?" Zane asked.
"One time I took Kai, Nya and Lloyd to the water park when they were little. Lloyd drank too many juice boxes so we had to stop at a gas station so he could use their bathroom and then we got very late and by the time we got there the water park closed." Garmadon explained.
"I still haven't forgiven you." Kai crossed his arms and glared at Lloyd.
A few more minutes pass by and they finally get out of ninjago.
The sun started to set and everyone was sleepy and drowsy but Nya on the other hand was paranoid. She knew that this particular area was a hotspot for creepy and scary beings. Their R.V was bound to be a jackpot for them.
"I really shouldn't have eaten all those burgers." Cole clutched his stomach and ran to the bathroom but not before Wu sleepily mumbled "and 'member to... flush toilet.... 'ooligan."
Clunk!
Clank!
"Uh... Cole? Are you okay in there?" Jay asked. His voice filled with concern.
"I don't think that was Cole." Morro said and looked outside the curtained windows.
Clonk!
Why did Nya see a figure fly past her?
Crash!
Kai immedietly woke up from his short nap "What-What is going on!?" The atmosphere immediately went from sleepy to alert.
Nya picked up more speed and silently started praying that there was enough fuel to get them out of here.
Then suddenly the R.V slowed down with a loud hiss.
"Something happened to one of the tyres!"
The door suddenly burst open and a group of three men dressed as different kinds of birds burst inside.
"People of this RV! It is I, Fugidove! With his Fugigang!" They man dressed as a pigeon who they assumed was the leader shouted. The two men who were dressed as a parrot and an eagle ran inside and looked for any valuable that they could get there hands on.
Nya hit the brakes and immediately started attacking them with her shoe along with Morro. Garmadon and Wu soon joined in, hitting the bird men with their bamboo staffs which they would normally use on Morro and Lloyd when they weren't behaving.
Jay stared at the scene in confusion and Kai started shrieking like a girl who saw a cockroach.
The gang must have realized that they weren't welcome because they soon left.
But not without taking Wu's staff, Kai's hairgel and Nya's fuzzy dice.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Kai screamed in a high pitched tone. "They took my hairgel! The took my precious hairgel!"
Wow. Those thieves really can't tell the difference between a valuable and a non-valuable item.
"Nya you have to follow them! I refuse to exist without my hairgel I don't care how slow we go, I just want my hairgel!" He begged his sister.
"We can't! I have to use the bathroom!" Lloyd said while jumping up and down.
"Then use the R.V's bathroom!"
"Cole's in there!"
The door of the bathroom violently shakes "Guys, I think I'm stuck in here!" Came Cole's voice from the bathroom.
"We don't have time for this!" Kai's raged "They're gonna get away!"
"And they already have." Nya added as she watched the three silhouettes dissapear in the darkness.
Kai let out a loud groan and flopped onto his bed.
There was suddenly a large thump, everyone turned their heads to see Cole come out of the bathroom "I'm out!"
"Thank the first spinjitsu master!" Lloyd screamed and ran inside.
Garmadon let out a sigh "This is the water park incident all over again."
~*~*~*~THE NEXT DAY~*~*~*~
The tires weren't the only thing the thieves damaged last night.
They had made a few dents here and there, puncture not one tire (as nya had thought) but two tires, blew up the engine by putting a bag of potato chips inside. They even managed to make a small hole in the roof (a bird sat on that and Kai was unfortunate enough to get hit by it's droppings) And to top that all off, the nearest garage was seven miles away.
If it wasn't obvious, they had to repair the R.V as much as they could before they set off for the garage.
"What are you up to?" Jay asked as Nya tried to dismantle the engine so she could get the potato chips out of there.
"What does it look like I'm doing? Constructing a unicorn!?" Nya shouted.
"Did someone say unicorn?!" Lloyd's voice came from the inside.
Nya groaned. This was gonna be a long day.
~*~*~*~
"I think you'll be able to dismantle it more easily if you take out that screw."
Nya jumped and turned around to see Jay still standing behind her.
"You're still here?
"Yup."
"Don't you have anything better to do?"
"Nope." He said "and please just take out that screw already!"
Nya looked at him suspiciously "I think I know what I'm doing."
Jay then grabbed the screwdriver earning a 'hey!' From Nya. He proceeded to unscrew the screw and was then able to easily dismantle the engine. Making it much easier to remove the burnt potato chips.
"Thanks." Nya said through clenched teeth making a huge grin grow on Jay's face. "But I was going to do that before you came and interrupted me." She quickly added.
"Yeah you definitely didn't need my help." Jay said sarcastically.
For the next half hour, Nya dragged one of the spare tyres outside and fit it where the previous one had been the night before. And she totally didn't (begrudgingly) ask Jay to help her fit it in. That would be crazy!
Next came the hole in the roof which she closed using duct tape since it was the best material at the moment.
Soon the R.V was able to go to the garage to get properly fixed.
Except no one could go to the front left corner since a tyre was still missing but then again, that's the reason why they were going to the garage!

Aleena's gonna kill me isn't she?
You know the drill ->
Bye!
