Ever hear a werewolf sing?

{Location: Steeper Wisdom in New Ninjago city}(Lloyd's POV)

I grimace as our customers throw rotten fruit at Dareth as he completely butchers whatever garbage he's singing. I half close the bamboo doors and turn to my brothers, "This is a nightmare. He's going to chase away all our customers." I'm barely aware of Morro in the back sweeping.

Kai covers his ears as Dareth hits a high note, "Shorite Rosie and the girls are out looking for Jay's, Lloyd's, Morro's and Skylor's dark halfs. So they won't be back for a while."

Jay watches as a teacup shatters, "We're doomed."

Cole claps his hands, "Come on guys. We've saved the world. We can save a karaoke night. Think."

Zane grimaces as Dareth plays another song, "If anyone can sing I do not think they are here."

Then one of the most crystal clear, sweet sounding singing voice echoes from behind the tea rack, "It's another bad dream. Poison in my bloodstream." Morro steps out to collect more dust. I spot headphones over his human ears as he's completely oblivious to us, "I'm dying but I can't scream. Will you show me the way?" He half sings into the broom as his back is to us, "It's another wolf bite. Howling in the moonlight. I wanna get my life right." He turns around half frozen at us watching, "Will you show me the way tonight?" He takes his headphone off, "How long have you guys been standing there?"

Kai claps his hands excitedly, "Dude, that was amazing."

I clap a little too, "Where'd you learn to sing like that?" Then I have a lightbulb moment, "Wait, nevermind," I side in and hold his shoulders, "You're gonna save karaoke night."

Morro pushes my hands off as his broom falls over, "Are you crazy?"

Everyone else sings his praises and gives encouragement. Jay takes a peek out the bamboo doors, "We better hurry. We're losing people."

"No way." Morro folds his arms as his ears bend back.

Kai smirks as people boo outside, "Why not? You got stage fright?"

"No!" Morro protests, "Because I look like this," He points to his tail than to his teeth, "Not to mention I tried destroying an entire village. Last I checked that's not the best impression to leave on people."

Jay snaps his fingers, "Is that all? No problem. Kai will go on stage."

This gets everyone else, even me, to shout, "WHAT?"

Kai, even though he loves the spotlight, looks surprised, "No way. I sound like a dying cat taking a bath."

"No," Jay reaches to the front counter and grabs the microphone, "Kai will go on stage and lipsynch while Morro's back here actually singing." Jay clicks on the microphone, "It's perfect."

I smirk as Dareth finally stops singing, "I don't see a problem with it."

Zane titles his head, probably crunching numbers, "My data says otherwise but this plan is better than nothing."

Morro holds his hand out for the mic, "Fine. I've always wanted to not sing but sorta sing in front of people."

I high five Kai, "Perfect." I open the doors and lead Kai out, "Best idea ever." I lead Kai to the stage while avoiding flying tomatoes, "Sorry about that folks. I know you were promised a show and you deserve one." I give Kai a mic turned off, "So, here's Kai. Now, this is his first time singing so don't be too hard on him. Enjoy." I sprint off the stage and to the back as Zane holds out a hologram of some lyrics.

I nod over to Kai as he receives the same lyrics on his robot-arm. I give the thumbs up to Morro as Cole and Jay set up a speaker in the window to draw more of a crowd.

Morro takes a few steps back as the song starts aloud this time, "It's another bad dream. Poison in my bloodstream. I'm dying but I can't scream." He pauses as Kai's lips match ever syllable perfectly, "Will you show me the way? It's another wolf bite," Morro starts getting into it as people come inside to watch Kai, "Howling in the moonlight." Morro looks like he's enjoying himself as Cole and Jay smile, "I wanna get my life right. Will you show me the way, tonight?"

The crowd is cheering now as some minor problem itches the back of my mind. I smirk, "It's working."

Morro smiles as the music keeps going, "If the darkness falls and my angel calls. In my despair, will you be there? In the darkest night when I need your light. Will you show-wooo!" He starts howling!? I now notice the full glow of the moon shining where he stands.

Jay jumps behind him, covers his eyes as Cole closes the blinds.

Morro gets his focus back as Cole holds the blinds closed, "If my time runs out and the sky falls down. Despite my fear, will you appear? If the world goes blind and I lose my Mind-woooo!"

Again? I spot a pile of spoons reflecting what Cole can't cover in the blinds. I reach over only to hit and knock down more silverware all reflecting onto Morro. I do my best to cover them there's way too many. Jay ends up having to push Morro closer to Zane.

Morro shakes his head as Kai does his best, "The way tonight?" He keeps repeating the chorus while trying to get Jay off of him. I lay down on the sink, getting the back of my shirt wet and splashing the faucet on the sink. There's a small mirror on the window sill the I can't cover as that reflects onto Zane. Who's moved so Morro can see the lyrics better.

Morro pushes Jay off, "It's another nightmare. I swear there's something out there. So save me 'cause I'm so scared." His lips move to howl again as Zane now reflect moonlight. Jay jumps and tries covering Zane's metal body with his own. Zane also tries to keep holding up the lyrics as Morro goes in and out of a moon trance, "Will you-woo, show me the way-wooo?" Now Cole, Jay, Zane and I keep scrambling around to keep the moonlight off of Morro, "It's another were-wooo-wolf. All dressed-woo up in sheep's wool." With that, the back door opens as the girls come in. Seliel leans in the door and her armor acts as a new reflector, "And changing-woooo when the Mooooooooon's full-woooo," Morro does his best as Nya and Skylor are somewhere between laughing and calling the straight jacket police on us, "Will you show-wooooo me the way?"

I wave, trying to tell them to move but the door stays open until Uncle and Willow come in, "Move. We're trying to save karaoke night."

Katara leans on the wall, "You're having a karaoke night in the storage room?"

Morro grimaces as this plan is falling apart, "If the darkness calls-woooo and my angle-wooo calls. In my despair, will you-woooo be there?"

As if all of this isn't crazy enough, Dareth opens the bamboo doors, "Guys. Did you know Kai can sing? He's fantastic." The fake medal he wears reflects even more moonlight.

Morro shivers a little as his hands start becoming harry, "In the darkest night when I need your-wooo light. Will you show me the way?" He starts swaying as the girls catch the keep moonlight away from Morro message. Kit stands next to me but her sword reflects onto Seliel who's helping Cole keep the curtains shut. Sensei tries to cover Zane but pulls a sheet off a very shiny teapot. Morro's really trying to hold onto himself, I've never seen so much determination, "If my time runs out and the sky falls down. Despite-woo my fear, will you appear? WOOOOOO!" He's lost to his wolf side as Kai flees off the stage.

Kai pushes Dareth aside as people turn to us, "I don't think this is working." Kai tries holding the doors shut only for Ronin to pull them open.

At first, he's shocked, then he gets a businessman smirk on his face, "Hey look, everybody," He points to us as he holds out a tray of rotten foods, "Morro's back."

Our customers turn into an angry mob as they give Ronin coins and throw food at Morro as he keeps howling. We all look to my Uncle, who looks very, very, very upset. He sighs as more and more things are thrown, "Get them out of here, please."

I, Kai, Jay, Cole, and Willow jump into out spinjitzu and escort(read: forced) the angry mob out. I toss Ronin out last as everyone rushes around closing windows and blinds, "Sorry everyone we're closed now."

Ronin gives me a farewell gift of a tomato to my face as I close and lock the doors.

"Yuck!" I search blindly for a napkin, "Well that was a bust."

Kit and Katara push Morro into the middle of the restaurant. Morro's really getting into his howl despite being covered in gunk, "WOOOOOOOOO!"

Skylor covers her ears as he won't stop now, "We get it. You're a werewolf. SHut up already."

[The next day]

At some point, we fell asleep to Morro's howling. I slowly wake up under a table. Morro's sitting on a chair with his arms folded and his mouth closed. My brothers, the girls and Uncle are still out cold as a sheepish grin covers my face, "So....about last night."

Morro raises an eyebrow as he shows his much sharper looking teeth, his now furry hands and his pure black finger nails.

"Ok. Maybe it was a bad idea."

Morro texts on his phone. Mine beeps as I open my texting app, 'Bad IDEA!? I lost my voice because I couldn't stop howling last night.'

"Ok, definitely a bad idea. Anyway, I could make it up to you?" I rub the back of my neck.

Morro puts his phone away, turns around and holds up a broom and dustpan then forces them into my hands.

"I should have seen this coming." I start sweeping as Morro watches on.
