08:50 AM. NEW NINJAGO CITY 

"do you think we're doing anything important in lessons today?" y/n asks elena as they sits together in their form room. the two best friends had met up and decided to take the bus to school. did they get attention? yes. was it a lot? yes, of course, it was. but they could do it. together.

elena shakes her head, putting her book down. 

"i don't think so," she says, putting a pink bookmark on the page she's reading. y/n got it for her; just for no reason. y/n loves buying people stuff for no reason. just like her mother. "why are you asking?"

"it feels like something important is going to happen today," y/n says, looking out of the window on the classroom. it's foggy as it's february. but everything goes silent, peaceful even. until there a small tremor in the ground. instinctively, y/n and elena reach out for each other, holding hands as they look around. 

💚

cole looks up, feeling the earth upset. he's not doing this. the rest of the gang look around. what is going on? seriously? a school day?

"everyone under the table!" their form teacher says, guiding people under the table so that they're safer. this is the earthquake procedure but cole would be able to sense an earthquake happening and he would be able to stop it enough or absorb the tremor so normal people wouldn't be able to feel it.

"can we have a hall pass please?" the ninja's all ask at the same time as their form teacher hides behind the desk that they usually teach from.

"it's 'may we'," the teacher says, peeking out from the desk with their big glasses covering most of their face. "'may we have a hall pass'- you know, this is weird but i am too old to question this. go ahead," 

💚

the earth ninja quickly takes off his gloves, pushing his hands into the ground. his ninja family are around the city of new ninjago, making sure that all civilians, who were out and about during the tremors, are safe. and no one has been hurt. that's good. but it's weird. 

cole hums, furrowing his thick eyebrows. it's fake? it's a fake earthquake. who has-he should be saying this. not thinking it.

"who has enough power to create a false earthquake?" he asks, pressing down on his communication device which is sitting snuggly in his ear. he puts his gloves back on, running out of the alleyway and jumping high enough to land on top of a building. he starts to run, looking for anything which is out of the ordinary. 

"do we know anyone that can do that?" the fire ninja asks, helping an old couple walk across the street.

"i do not think we do," the ice ninja says, tapping away at the large computer which is connected to other screens. "this could be another villain at hand. someone or a group of people we haven't had the pleasure of meeting before,"

"where did the tremors go through?" the green ninja asks, looking around as he stands on top of a lamp. this fog is insanely annoying. his eyes go red, seeing everything much better. that's the dragon in him. the oni in him makes his eyes go purple. "can you see where they went through? which parts of new ninjago?"

"i can barely see anything with this fog, you guys!" the lightning ninja says, putting his hands above his eyes like a sailor looking out to sea. which does nothing. but no one is going to tell him to stop. 

"water, do you think you can do anything about this fog?"

"i can definitely try!" the water ninja puts her hands out, trying to rain in the condensed air but nothing happens. "this would be so much better if we had an elemental master who was our friend and could control the air or the wind. we could have pulled an aang and katara,"

"do we know anything wind or air elemental masters?" the fire ninja asks, looking around to find nya. "lighting, see if you can brighten up the city,"

"alright," the lightning ninja mumbles, running over to find the power source of new ninjago city. he knows where he is. the mayor allowed for him to know the exact points just in case of an emergency. jay has enough lightning in his body to power new ninjago city for about a week. not that he would ever do that. well, he might. 

"no one answered my question," the green ninja huffs, narrowing his eyes as he looks around. 

"and what was your question, little man?" the earth ninja asks, jumping back down onto the ground. he can sense things more when he's down onto the earth. 

"how am i the leader when no one listens to me?" the green ninja whispers with a small pout. everyone laughs, making him roll his green eyes under his green mask. "i said does anyone know which parts of new ninjago city got hit by the tremors?"

"i will check that," the ice ninja says, tapping at the keyboard once again. "the boba shop that has been closed down, through new ninjago school, a karaoke bar called laughy's and some streets leading up to those places,"

"that's really weird," the lightning ninja says, arriving at the power source and putting his palm onto it. his eyes go an electric blue as lighting passe through him onto the power source. he can't overload it or everything will go out. "are they targeting something?"

"if they are," the green ninja says, looking at map, the ice ninja has sent to them. there's something he's missing. what is it? "we need to figure out who this 'they' person is first,"

💚

"i can't believe we're not allowed to go home!" samantha groans, lying against william who just allows her to. why wouldn't he? "i think an earthquake is enough of a reason to make us go home, don't you think so?" she says, looking in between jennifer and william. the two both look at each other then both look at samantha. 

"sam, it wasn't a tremor," william says, making the ginger haired girl groan out even louder. the students of new ninjago high are getting an extremely chill day though. which is a bonus. to some people.

william had joined the duo, making it a trio. jennifer honestly didn't mind as much as she though she was going to. he's not that bad. he's a bit awkward, he's a nerd and loves transformers but he's not a bad guy. and he knows that jennifer and samantha will always be jennifer and samantha so there are some days that only the two girl hang out at school. 

"yeah," jennifer says with a small laugh. "and the ninja's gave the all clear so everything is fine and everything is safe. no one got hurt and nothing broke. i don't see it a bad thing at being at school still,"

"but you love school," samantha sighs as jennifer rolls her eyes. 

"everyone loves some part of school," william shrugs. "i want to go get some snacks at the vending machine," he says, putting samantha's head on jennifer's lap. "do you guys want anything? my treat,"

"some skittles please," jennifer says, taking her card from her purse. she gives it to him, but he doesn't take it. 

"i said my treat," he says. "sammy, what do you want?"

"to home,"

jennifer does love school. and she loves cheerleading too, but she's thinking of quitting. yup. she's thinking of quitting and, fully putting her time into theatre. she does love cheer though. and she's never going to stop. but she wants to sing. not just dance. performing in front of people is something that she's wanted to do for a very long time and cheer helped with her confidence, it did. but theatre just helped more. 

she doesn't want to tell samantha this though. why? because samantha has a plan where they stay in cheer for the whole of high school and become co-captains when they're seniors. and jennifer doesn't want to disappoint her best friend.

y/n gets home by bus, not wanting to bother henry. she never did ask him about that day they went to the park. but they have been hanging out a little less. 

"henry?" she calls out, seeing sailor run down the stairs and almost topple her over. "hi, baby!" she coos, rubbing his head and giving him kisses. "how are you? did you go on a walk today? it's okay if you didn't because we're going on one tomorrow! you're also going to see elena, nic and mattias so you'll have more people to love you!"

sailor barks, nuzzling into y/n's hands. 

"not anymore than i love you though," she says, getting up from her knees. "where's henry? is he here? is dad her?" sailor whines, nudging y/n towards the main living room. were she hears her dad talking. 

"we're better, m/n," he says softly, y/n pressing her ear to the door. her eyes go wide as they start to water. "at least, i think we are. i hope we are,"

y/n smiles. 

"we are," she says, listening in some more. 

"but i know there's something wrong with her," he says. in that room, there's a portrait of m/n there. y/n doesn't go in the main room for that exact reason. she's scared. she's scared how alike she looks like her mother. same eyes. same face structure. same nose. same hair. "she loves talking about everything. she's just like you. but i need help. the only thing she hasn't talked about is her soulmate. and i remember her saying it was okay  but would i have not met her soulmate by now? or known anything about them?"

"oh dad..." y/n whispers, sighing out. "come on, sailor," she whistles, lowly, sailor following y/n up the stairs to her bedroom. she falls onto her bed, wanting to...wanting to what? how does she feel?

a knock on her window makes her look up, making her see the green ninja doing a wave. she waves, walking over and opening the balcony doors. 

"hey, i-" she hugs him, making him go rigid and then relax. he hands rest around her waist as she hugs him tighter. the hearts on their wrists go gold, hidden beneath their clothing. "what was that for?" the green ninja asks as they part. 

"thank you for the valentines day gift," she says, smiling ta him. "i love it! a pink dragon and it matches with the green one..."

the green ninja panic. did lloyd get her the green one? or was that him?

"anyways," y/n letting that completely go over her head. "what's up? how are you?"

"i'm not too bad," he says, crossing his arms. "i just wanted to check up on you,"

"uh..." y/n makes a face, the green ninja tilting his head. "i am alive and well," she says, nodding and turning back into her room to get her laptop from it's drawer. she doesn't take it to school. "just want to do some school work. are you busy? come sit," she pats her bed, unlocking her laptop. 

"uh...." and he comes and sits on her bed. this is wrong. is it wrong? "what are you giong to do?"

"i just said school work," y/n says, looking at him.

"yeah, i know but i meant," the green ninja starts, sailor rubbing the green ninja's legs. he rubs sailor's head, the pup loving the attention. "what type of school work are you going to do?"

"oh!" y/n hums, pursing her lips. the green ninja's eyes dilate as he watches her. oh first spinjitzu master. "i don't know. let me look through my emails," y/n gets her emails, seeing one from lloyd. her heart quickens, pressing on it. oh. this was sent to everyone. "i'm just going to do this first,"

"what is it?" the green ninja asks. y/n reads the email properly before letting out a laugh. 

"my best friend and she would be my soulmate if i could chose," y/n starts. "she's doing a sociology project with someone she absolutely despises and he's sent something that's going to be filled in for their project,"

"oh, and what's the project on?"

"colours," y/n smiles. she knows how important colours are to elena. "do you want to help? well, not really help but join in,"

"sure," the green ninja shrugs. this has to be wrong in some universe. 

"great! wait, are you hungry?" y/n says, looking away from the laptop screen. "should i get you something to drink?"

"no, i'm okay," he says, smiling under his mask. 

"let's start then," y/n presses on the link, seeing the first question. 

what objects/emotions/people remind you of the colour red?

🍓☆⋆｡𖦹°‧★🍒

"uh..." y/n starts. "red isn't really a common colour in my life...periods, i guess?" she says, putting that down. "oh! and red tulips; they mean eternal love. do you have anything?"

"anger and the fire ninja," the green ninja says, sailor jumping onto his lap and going to sleep. and his dad's evil form eye's. which are also his eyes at times. 

what objects/emotions/people remind you of the colour orange?

⊹ ࣪˖🍹⋆˚✿˖°🧡⋆.˚

"nicholas ramiez," y/n mutters. "oranges, oh and sunsets! sunsets can be orange. they're actually much prettier when they're orange,"

"uh...oranges," he nods, making y/n look at him as she makes a face. "what?"

"i already said oranges," she says. "you have to do something else,"

he makes a face, and even though y/n can't see it, she still laughs anyway. he rolls his eyes, trying to think of something else. 

something orange. skylor. but no. orange flavoured things? orange...bored? orange, orange, orange. cole's bandana's. yeah, nope. he's got nothing. 

"i don't know," he shrugs. "i don't have anything for oranges,"

"so boring," y/n jokes, sticking her tongue out at him as she moves onto the next one. 

what objects/emotions/people remind you of the colour yellow?

🌻✧˖ °💛୨ৎ

"the sun!" the green ninja says first as y/n makes a face. 

"no!" she whines. "i was going to say that,"

"too bad," he says, y/n letting out a groan. 

"uh..." she hums. yellow. lloyd. not him as a person but his hair. golden yellow. her heart goes golden. but that's not something she's writing down if he's definitely going to see it. "sunflowers, the beach, honey, bees, fluttershy from my little pony. we could have apple jack for orange," y/n goes back a section to add the character onto the list before moving two sections forward. 

what objects/emotions/people remind you of the colour green?

‧₊˚🍋‍🟩✩ ₊˚🌿⊹♡

"you obviously," y/n says, putting him name down. the green ninja roll his eyes. "uh...kiwi's, plants," her soulmate. "emeralds, sam. do you have any? leaves, grass, nature, spike from my little pony, sam from totally spies, jealousy-"

"forests," the green ninja says, y/n looking at him. she nods. 

"forests," y/n repeats, putting that down. "theodore from alvin and the chipmunks,"

"do you think you have enough?" the green ninja asks, seeing that there is more on this section than any others so far. 

"i think so," y/n nods. 

what objects/emotions/people remind you of the colour blue?

🌨️₊˚.🎧 ˚.🩵*🎐✩｡

"nya does and so does jay," y/n says, putting their names down. "water, the sea, the sky, sailor sometimes but he's pink just like me!"

"cotton candy," y/n makes at face at the green ninja as he looks at her. he sighs, ready for it. "what have i said wrong now?"

"you think blue...when you think of cotton candy?" y/n asks in absolute shock. "you think of the colour blue?"

"yeah, i-"

"no, no, no, no, no!" y/n whisper shouts, shaking her head. "no! you do not think of blue when you think about cotton candy,"

the green ninja chuckles, under neath his mask. and y/n has never heard something being so hot before. 

"whatever you say, your highness," her cheeks go warm. this is way different to when nicholas teases her. way different. "what's next?"

what objects/emotions/people remind you of the colour purple?

🫐‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡𓂃 ࣪🪻 ִֶָ☾.

"elena, mattias and jj. monster high, ," y/n says, putting those names down. she thinks some more. "stars, sometimes,"

"why stars?"

"i actually don't know," y/n says. "my mother's favourite colour was purple. and she loved the stars,"

"my mom's favourite colour is yellow," the green ninja says, y/n turning to him slowly. 

"you have a mama...?"

"of course, i have a mom?!" the green ninja says, making a face. what kind of question is that? "how was i born if i didn't have a mom?"

"no wait," y/n laughs. "i didn't mean it like that," she says. "i just...actually, i don't know...i didn't know you trusted me enough to tell me that you had a mom,"

the green ninja raises his eyebrow. 

"i have a dad too,"

"uh...next question!"

what objects/emotions/people remind you of the colour pink?

🌸˚˖𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒✧🩷˚⋆

"you/me," the soulmates say at the same time. y/n laughs, putting her name down. 

"cotton candy," the green ninja says, making y/n roll her eyes. she nods with a hum, putting that down. "sailor,"

"sailor," y/n repeats. "hearts, flowers, love, barbie, girly things...uh-"

"cupcakes?"

"cupcakes!" y/n nods, putting that down. "what else?"

"crushes,"

"crushes-what?" y/n looks at the green ninja, her fingers hovering the keyboard of the laptop. "crushes? why crushes?"

"they just...crushes are sweet and harmless and..." he shrugs. "pink even though it can be a bold colour and it's a strong one that everyone can recognise, it's usually sweet and fun," he's not describing pink anymore. 

"no one has ever described pink like this before," y/n says, her heart rate doubling. and the green ninja can hear it. "i'll...i'll put crushes down..."

oh my gosh. does she have a crush on the green ninja?
