A/N: Hello, so...to start out, FeMalDives77s  requested some platonic Lloya pranking, so, that's what this is! I got slightly carried away (It's 3000+ words), and since I've been low on free time lately, it took a little longer than I expected to finish, but I'm happy with it! Though, I'm also glad to be finished with it. I'm not the best at writing Lloyd, that title in my book personally goes to browhal1, the queen of fanon Lloyd, but I tried my best. I hope you enjoy it! Oh, and one more thing, the title of this kept making me get "Total Eclipse of the Heart" stuck in my head while I was writing it. So yeah, that's all!

Lloyd Garmadon was tired of being babied.

The newly-dubbed "Green Ninja" was sick of being treated like a little kid when as of the past week, he was officially ten years old.

When his uncle Wu proposed that he could be the destined one, Lloyd told him that if being the green ninja meant eating those canned vegetables, then he didn't want any part of it.

Thankfully, that wasn't part of the job description. But it was almost as bad. He had to fight his dad, save the world, and they all treated him like either a helpless child or an expensive vase that could fall over and break at any second.

Unlimited power, and he couldn't even go on missions with the guys!

And when they weren't on missions, they were calling him "Shorty," or "Greenie," saying, "One day you'll be able to go on missions with us, when you're older. Closer to the final battle."

That final battle business really got on his nerves.

Why did the universe have to say, "Lloyd should be the one to fight the greatest evil ever known, that is also his father!"

Stupid green gi. Stupid spinjitsu dummies. Stupid Serpentine. Why'd he have to release them anyway? Oh, right. To impress his father, who he now had to fight!

Why couldn't he just grow up and get all this over with right now?

Zane's voice appeared in his mind. "You have to be patient, Lloyd. Things may seem hard, but you can persevere. You just have to believe in your own strength."

Yeah, believing in his strength wouldn't help him grow up and learn spinjitsu any faster.

It didn't really surprise Lloyd that much that Zane wasn't human.

Well, of course, he was a little shocked at first. When the guys came back from following the falcon and showed him and Nya, it was a bit of a surprise.

He couldn't lie; he did flinch when he saw Zane's control panel.

But looking back on it, it did make sense. He and the falcon had a special connection, and the falcon seemed way too aware of what was going on to be your average bird.

And Zane, well, Zane had always been different.

He didn't understand humor, sometimes he hung out in the cabinets, fridge, or on the roof, and he was very easily distracted.

Well, maybe that was something that made him more human.

He also spoke very formally, with words that Lloyd thought hadn't been in use for at least a hundred years. That was probably an exaggeration, but I digress. The way he spoke made him seem much older than he looked and acted.

Sure, he was mature, sort of, but he still acted like a teen or young adult. But now that Lloyd thought about it, Zane definitely could've been forty if you ignored how he looked.

Maybe that was right.

Anyway, Lloyd was frustrated and bored around The Bounty. The others were doing their own thing, as usual, and he was extra hung up on the fact that he hadn't been on any missions, mostly because he had just finished reading the latest Fritz Donagan comic and had nothing else to do, as Jay was using the XBorg.

So, he devised a master plan. He would prank the guys so elaborately that they would never forget it. They would never treat him like a little kid ever again.

But this plan was big. Real big. So Lloyd needed some assistance from the only person he could trust.

Nya was annoyed. The guys always singled her out. It wasn't their fault; that was just what the world taught them to do. But it still made her mad. Not only was she the only girl on the team, but she was the only non-elemental master. That would make anyone underestimate her.

But she was the toughest and most determined samurai that anyone had ever seen. She had potential that they just couldn't comprehend yet.

Every time she would try to help, they would brush her off and call her annoying, or treat her like she had two brain cells.

She was no one's damsel in distress. It honestly felt pretty good to save Jay from the railroad tracks. She could be the hero for once, and he would understand what it felt like to be treated like a helpless little girl.

She wasn't even that much younger than the guys!

She could kick butt just as well as any of them, maybe even better! But the best she ever got was babysitting the green bean boy of destiny or being "an honorary member."

When Kai teased her, she didn't care. He was just kidding. But the others made her mad sometimes, even though they probably didn't mean it.

Stupid boys club. She really wished there was another girl around here sometimes. She wanted to teach the guys a lesson. What it felt like to have no control of your situation but want that so badly.

And there was only one other person who understood that.

The blondie climbed up on a stool. "I have a great idea."

Nya rose a raven eyebrow. "What kind of idea?"

"The ultimate prank. To teach the guys a lesson for not taking us seriously." Lloyd smirked mischievously. "It'll be legendary."

"I'm listening."

The green-clad boy gestured for emphasis. "So, we take all of their weapons, and their things, and then we-"

He leaned over and whispered the rest in her ear.

Nya's eyes were wide with excitement. "Ooh. That is good."

The greenie put his hands on his hips proudly. "What did I tell you? I'm the best prankster. I didn't spend four years at Darkley's for nothing!"

Nya looked back at him. "Well then, let's do this."

Wu walked over. "Do what?"

Nya blinked. "Oh, Lloyd and I were just going to play a game I thought of."

"Oh," the sensei didn't bat an eye. "Have fun then," he said, returning to folding laundry.

And once the coast was clear, the samurai let out a huff. "Phew! That was close."

"Yeah, it was." Lloyd gave a Cheshire grin. "Now, let's go show them what we're made of.

Lloyd was excited. His last prank would be nothing compared to this. And that one he was allowed to spend all day on!

With Nya and his super-genius powers combined, they would be unstoppable!

And the ninja would know how it felt to be in their shoes.

So, they began with Kai.

Everyone knows that the things Kai loves having control over most are his appearance and his entertainment.

So, they filled his hair gel bottles with weighted cream, so his hair would end up looking like a pile of floppy curly fries.

And then, they took all of his videogame disks and switched them so that they would be in the wrong cases.

Now, on to Jay.

He had the most control over his inventions and his routines.

So, they rewired his gadgets so they wouldn't work right (only temporarily, they weren't that cruel) and changed all the clocks two hours ahead.

Then, for Cole.

The things he valued most every day were his training and his food.

So, they took all the weapons and hid them in a cave where no one would find them. And they poured all of his food ingredients into different containers and put pepper on his cake.

Hopefully, he wouldn't try to kill them when he found out.

And finally, Zane.

He was tricky. He usually didn't get upset over anything. But if there was one thing he had the most control over, it was rules and regulations.

So, they found some of Wu's papers and replicated his handwriting. They wrote, "New rules. You can't eat cheese at the table. Sunrise exercise should be performed upside down." And finally, the cherry on top, "You must only communicate in pig Latin during fights of any kind."

They set it on the kitchen counter, where Zane frequented.

This would be perfect.

And finally, they formed the last part of their plan.

But that was a surprise.

Now, to go to bed and await tomorrow's chaos.

Nya was happy. It was going to be good to see the guys totally confused and have no idea why. It would be a beautiful sight.

And it was.

The first sight the other ninja saw when they woke up was Zane hanging from the ceiling.

Jay wasn't up yet, as he turned off his alarm, thinking it was two hours too early.

But the other two were weirded out of their minds.

Cole tried not to snort. "Zane, what are you doing?"

The ice ninja didn't even flinch, his feet stuck to the ceiling as he exercised. "I am doing sunrise exercise, as we are supposed to be doing."

"But why on the ceiling?" Kai questioned. "The stuff you do is usually weird, but this is a new level."

Zane rose his eyebrows. "I glued magnets to the ceiling so that I could follow Sensei's instructions."

"Uh, I don't remember him telling us we had to do it upside down, but I'm not up for that," Cole replied.

"Me either," Kai concurred. "You may want to do that, Zane, but I'm not even gonna try. No thanks."

And the red ninja went into the bathroom to get ready. He put his favorite red gi on, took a shower, brushed his teeth, and then started fixing his hair.

He put his hair gel on, as usual, looking in the mirror as he did it, but after it set, something weird happened.

Cole turned to the usually porcupine-haired boy. "What happened to you? You look like the eighties just threw up all over your head!"

"WHAT?!"

Kai raced to the nearest mirror he could find, which happened to be a full length one. "I look like someone just ran over my hair with a demon curling iron! WHO MESSED UP MY HAIR?"

The hiding Lloyd and Nya duo tried not to bust out laughing. This was fantastic already. And it could only get better from here.

Cole went to do his morning workout, but he couldn't find a weapon for the life of him. No scythes, no shurikens, no swords, no nunchucks, and no barbels! How would he get his daily burn now?

Oh well, at least he had his one true love, cake.

So, he went to the fridge awaiting his precious dessert.

And found it untouched. Thank goodness. He took it out and sat down, ready to take a bite. But when he did, the chocolate was masked by a weird taste.

Pepper! He needed water. He ran to the sink and let it flow over his tongue. He must've put the pepper on thinking it was chocolate sprinkles in the middle of the night. He hated his past self so much right now!

He thankfully salvaged the clean part of the cake, which was still tasty, and moved on.

But Jay was only just getting up.

He went to do sunrise exercise and saw some magnets on the ceiling, but there was something weirder. No one was doing it anymore!

They must've forgotten about daylight savings time. That was today, wasn't it?

Of course it was.

So, he went to get a cappuccino and some breakfast before getting ready and going into the training area to spar with the guys.

But there weren't any weapons!

The four were very confused.

Regardless, they were supposed to train, so they decided to spar with just fists. They probably lost their weapons in some weird place, like the washing machine, no big deal. They'd figure it out later.

So, Jay and Zane would go against each other while Kai and Cole watched and refereed.

They both raised their fists and ran at each other. Zane hit first, knocking Jay to the ground.

The blue boy laughed. "I guess I haven't fought much without weapons lately."

"Hat-tay eems-say oo-tay e-bay o-say." Zane helped him up.

The ginger teen rose a slit eyebrow. "What?"

"He-tay ules-ray." The nindroid gestured for emphasis.

Kai shrugged. "He's probably malfunctioning or something."

Zane shook his head. "I-way am-way ine-fay. Et's-lay ust-jay eep-kay ighting-fay."

"He seems fine," Jay remarked, "Let's just keep fighting. I'll look at it later."

Zane got back in fighting stance and rolled his eyes. "Hat's-tay hat-way I-way aid-say."

Jay threw a punch at him, and Zane yelped, "Ot-nay et-yay!"

"Okay, okay, what is it?"

"On-way ree-thray," the ice ninja responded.

"Okay, I guess?"

They got back into fighting stance, and Zane went, "One-way, woo-tay, ree-thray!"

Jay dashed forward and tried to punch Zane, but he dodged out of the way quickly.

Zane chided, "Or-yay eaction-ray ime-tay is-way low-say."

Jay waved his arms, stopping the match. "This is weird. Let's just use the training robot."

Zane shrugged. "I was only following the rules."

"What rules?" Cole stood up.

Zane walked with his brothers. "The ones Wu left for us."

"Well, you must have misunderstood," Jay chimed in. "Because I only remember him telling us to clean up our messes and no videogames during training time."

"Eh, whatever," Kai said. "Let's just use the dummies and get training over with."

So, the four ninja made their way to the part of The Bounty where the training dummies were.

And Jay turned them on.

He gestured. "Why don't you go first, Kai? Since Zane and I already started."

"Okay," Kai replied. "Let's get this over with."

So, the red-cloaked boy with curly fry hair walked up to the training robot and raised his fists.

He punched it, and it hit back, but in the wrong direction, and bent its limb backward. It fizzled, almost zapping Kai and powering off.

"What was that?!" Kai exclaimed, jumping back.

Jay groaned. "Ugh, Lloyd must've tried to use it again without asking me. He's such a troublemaker sometimes!"

"Whatever," Cole remarked. "Let's just play videogames instead."

Jay's expression brightened. "Always down for that."

So, the four went back into the lower deck to find the game console.

They sat on the couch while Kai picked out a game. Once he found his favorite, Fist to Face 2, he opened it up. But inside the case was Sitar Legend!

And soon, the ninja quickly found that all the games had been switched. And once he found Fist to Face 2, he put it in, but the console wasn't working!

Jay investigated further and discovered that the cord used to plug the XBorg into the wall was gone!

"Darn it," Kai swore. "Sensei must've took it because he thinks we play too much. But now what are we going to do?"

"Eh, we could watch tv," Jay suggested.

"I am going to go read a book," Zane said.

Cole piped up, "And I'm gonna go draw. See you guys later."

So, Jay and Kai watched tv, Cole drew in his bedroom, and Zane read an adventuring guide.

Until Nya and Lloyd came out of their rooms and announced something.

"We're going to go get pizza!" Lloyd rang out, a grin on his face.

"Pepperoni!" Kai said.

Cole added, "Hawaiian!"

"Extra cheese!" Jay said.

And Zane finished, "Mushrooms, please."

Nya rose her eyebrows. "You only get pizza if you're in our club."

"Well, can we join?" Jay asked, giving her puppy eyes.

"Nope," Nya answered.

Lloyd looked to be holding back giggles. "You're too old."

So, the duo left to get their food and left the four remaining ninja in frustrating solitude.

They were lying lazily on the couch.

"Ugh, I hate being bored!" Jay exclaimed.

Cole threw his head back into one of the couch pillows. "What's worse is, being left out! I can almost smell that thick, cheesy pizza! And we can't have any of it!"

"I know!" Jay concurred. "This is terrible!"

Kai nodded. "Yeah. It really sucks not to be able to go anywhere or do anything."

"Guys?" Zane said. "You do know this is how Nya and Lloyd feel every hour of the day, right?"

Jay's jaw dropped to the floor. "Oh. That's probably why Lloyd messed with my training robot."

Zane rose his eyebrows. "How many strange happenings have occurred today?"

Cole looked up. "More than I can count."

"That must've all been Lloyd and Nya!" Jay exclaimed. "They must have done it because they felt left out."

"That seems to be the logical conclusion," Zane replied.

"I feel bad." Kai groaned guiltily. "If they feel like this every day, no wonder they pranked us! We've been real jerks lately."

Cole made a face. "Yeah...we have left them out more lately."

"We should apologize when they come back," Jay suggested, talking with his hands.

Zane nodded. "I agree. We would not want them to think we intended to hurt their feelings."

"Still want that pizza, though," Kai remarked.

Nya walked through the hall. "Did someone say pizza?"

"Nya!" Jay said happily, jumping up from the couch. "We're so sorry."

"Sorry for what?" Lloyd asked, acting innocent.

Kai rolled his eyes. "About how we left you guys out. That's why you pranked us, right?"

Nya laughed awkwardly. "Prank you? What made you think that?"

"We know that you and Lloyd are the cause of all the odd happenings today," Zane deadpanned.

Lloyd smacked his lips. "They got us."

And as he looked up at Nya, she sighed. "Alright. Yes, we pranked you guys."

"I knew it!" Jay interjected.

The ravenette put her arms out in front of her. "And I'm sorry, but we were just sick and tired of you telling us we couldn't do this and couldn't do that! That we were too young and too inexperienced all the time."

"Yeah," Lloyd added.

"We are sorry," Zane said apologetically. "We did not know you felt that way."

Kai stood up. "Zane's right. We should have thought about how you guys felt more. That was a jerk move."

Cole agreed, "Yeah, we won't leave you out anymore."

"On one condition!" Jay remarked.

Nya crossed her arms, clearly unimpressed. "Alright, what is it?"

"That you never prank us ever again!" Jay finished.

"Yeah!" Cole concurred. "That was a nightmare!"

Kai glanced at them. "Absolutely! What the heck did you do to my hair gel?"

Nya looked off into the distance. "Alright, no more pranking." She changed the subject to avoid her brother's anger, "Uh, anyone want pizza?"

"Always."

Jay took a big bite of his cheesy pizza. "Mmm. I think this is worth all the pranking after all."

"Jay, may I remind you; cheese is not allowed to be consumed at the table?"

And everyone laughed.

The End.

A/N: So, how did you like it? I hope it was a fun read. I'm not sure when my next oneshot will be out, but it's going to be the sequel to my Pixane one, "The Ninja Merman." So that'll be fun. Have a great whenever, and peace out!
