10:21 AM. NEW NINJAGO CITY

y/n sits in the boba store, slurping on her favourite flavour. her, nya and elena are going to hang out today. and she's slightly excited. not excited to talk about her and lloyd, but excited to know about how her friends spent the holidays and how their new years went. 

cut to the feeling plays into her ears, making her move slightly to the beat. she loved the movie ballerina when it came out. it made her want to be a ballerina but she chose cheer. obviously. 

some younger kids wave at her, making her smile and wave back. she feels a bit better as she's dressed up in a pink jumper with a black skirt and black boots. she didn't hang put with her dad yet. but she might. maybe. 

"you're here early," nya says, sitting down next to y/n. y/n lowers her music, taking [out/off] her [headphones/earphones/ear buds].

"nya!" y/n smiles, hugging the girl. "oh my gosh! you cut your hair!" y/n says, motioning to it. 

"i did!" nya giggles, touching her straight black hair which has been cut short. it's a cute bob. she smiles, her beauty mark moving up. "do you like it?"

"i love it! has jay seen it?" y/n teases, marking nya shove the girl softly. 

"yeah, he couldn't stop telling me he loved it," nya smiles with a laugh. "i feel like it was a good idea. my hair was getting harder for me to manage anyway,"

"well, you are even more beautiful than before," y/n says. 

"oh, i have something for you," nya says, shuffling through her bag. she brings out a book, passing it to y/n. 

"what's this?" y/n laughs, holding it. she reads the title, her jaw dropping. "my favourite book series! how did you know? where did you get this? i've been looking for this!"

"i remember you reading it once in the library when i was getting some books for engineering," nya says. 

"jay better watch out, nya. i might steal you away from him," y/n says, looking at the book cover in awe. it's even pink! she opens the first page, seeing that the author has signed it too. 

 nya laughs just as elena arrives to the table that the two girls are sitting at. 

"your hair!" the mousy brown haired girl exclaims, sitting opposite the two. she holds two boba cups, passing the extra one to nya, seeing that y/n already had her own. "i like it,"

"thank you," nya says, taking the boba. "and thank you for the boba, elena,"

"no problem," elena says, pushing the straw in and drinking some. "so are we going to ease ourselves into this conversation or go straight to it," elena says, looking at y/n. 

"elena," nya says, looking over at the mousy brown haired girl. 

"what?"

"it's fine, nya," y/n says, mixing her boba. "we'll just go straight into it. nya, i don't know you know but lloyd is my soulmate-" nya smiles, her eyes going wide. 

"oh my gosh! yes! finally! congrats!"

"but he doesn't want to be," y/n continues, making the smile on nya's face drop. 

"what?"

"buckle in, nya," elena says, lying against the chair slightly. "it's a lot,"

💚

"oh my gosh," nya mutters, everything clicking in her brain. the girls have been in the boba cafe for about four hours now and have ordered everything thing else on the menu to stay there. "that explains why he's so sad..." and it also explains why he hasn't left his room. and is barely eating. he's going back into his bad habits. should she tell y/n this? "and you guys haven't texted, i'm guessing?"

y/n shakes her head, trying to eat the last pizza bagel she ordered. 

"i don't think they should," elena says, getting her friend's attention. "he made it clear. even though he won't give you a reason, you should respect his wishes,"

"i still have faith," y/n says, stacking up the rubbish to put in the bin. "so i'm probably not going to do that," elena looks at her with a frown on her face. "i won't text him. and i'll let him have his peace if that's what he really wants. but he's my soulmate. i will always be there for him,"

elena and nya look at each other. 

"even though he's my friend and i love him," nya starts. she's not in love with him. she's in love with jay. "i think you should slap him,"

"what?"

"it's just," nya scrunches up her nose in annoyance and confusion. "i don't understand why he doesn't want to be your soulmate," she says the last word in a whisper. actually, to be honest, the whole conversation was just them passing notes. speaking too loud could cause a load of drama. she is the mayor's daughter. who wouldn't want to know about her love life. expect morro. 

"and the fact that he's breaking the bond," elena mumbles, making y/n cover her wrist with her pink jumper even more. "pinky, are you sure you still want to wait for him?"

"yes,"

💚

y/n locks the door behind her, sailor running at her at full speed. she gets on her knees, catching her dog, looking at his collar. 

"did someone change your collar?" she says, looking at it. the pink shade is darker than usual. 

"uh, i did," d/n says, coming out from the corridor. not wearing his usual smart clothing. no suit, no dress shoes. a black jumper and some jeans. for some reason, y/n could see her mother's touch in this outfit. "he wanted to go on a walk,"

"oh," she says, getting up from her knees. "you can take him on a walk then, i don't mind. i-"

"did you want to come?"

y/n looks at her dad, her eyes wide. he really did want to try. and she'll let him. but the second he hurts her, she'll just go distance. 

"uh sure, just let me go and wear something a bit more relaxing and i'll be out in a second," d/n nods as sailor barks, jumping up. his two favourite humans are together!

"so how was-" the two l/n's start before realising that they're both talking at the same time. "you can-i..."

y/n sighs with a laugh as d/n groans internally. he's not doing well.

"you can go first," y/n says, letting sailor pull her along the river bank. he barks, seeing a butterfly which he tries to bit.

"i was going to ask how hanging out with your friends were," d/n says, his trainers hitting the dirt path.

"oh," y/n smiles. "yeah, me and my friends were just talking about..." why she was sobbing in her dad's arms a few days ago. "girl stuff,"

"girl stuff?" d/n repeats with a confused look on his face. he looks at his daughter as she nods.

"girl stuff," y/n confirms as sailor starts to paw at her legs. she bends down separating his collar from his lead. sailor barks as he's free from it, running along the river bank. "cheer, love life struggles and stuff like that,"

d/n hums, watching sailor. he might be getting bigger but he doesn't want m/n's and his daughter's dog to fall down into the river.

"so i'm suspecting all those things are good?"

does y/n want to confide in her dad? more than anything. she wants to tell him about lloyd, about how cheer is going well. and most importantly she wants to ask why he was at the first basketball game of the season.

"yeah-" she's lying. "how come you were at the first game in the season?" y/n asks as she stops to see some of the fishes swim in the river.

"i always promised your mother that i would make it to your first games," he starts before realising his mistake. his daughter doesn't play basketball. "no game. your first dance? cheer dance? your first cheer routine infront of the school,"

"pep rally?" y/n says with a small laugh.

"that's the words i was looking for, yes,"

"oh," her mother still cares about her even when she's gone. "thanks...dad," d/n nods with a smile, looking up and seeing sailor has jogged far away from them.

"sailor!"
