Kelly ran fast through the streets. Being homeless was hard, especially in ninjago city. She had in her arms some food she was able to get. Some jerk thought she has stolen it. Kelly had actually payed for it, but they way she left in a hurry, the man thought she was a little thief. She raced away, until she was cornered into an alley.

"Give the food back, little girl." The man growled. Kelly held the food she was able to get close to her.

At that very moment none other than Jay Walker was walking down that street, when he heard a small voice say, "I'm telling you, I payed you." Jay looked into the alleyway to see a young girl cornered by a large man.

"Give it back, you little thief." The man lifted his hand to hit the girl.

"Hey. Leave the kid alone." Jay said.

"This thief? She stole twenty dollars worth of food."

"I keep telling you, I paid for it." Kelly murmured.

"Here's twenty dollars. Leave her alone."

The man took the money, and gave the child a harsh look. The mouthed "next time you won't be so lucky." Then he left.

"Thanks." Kelly said

"Why did you take it anyway?"

"It's not exactly all for me. Most of it is for my mom. She's..um...well...it's complicated. We don't really have all that much. And I didn't swipe it. All I have is meds, and a bit of food for her and I."

Jay saw she had meds and some soup. "That's all you have? Mind if I walk you home?"

Kelly brightened. "That'd be great! Thank you so much!"

They began walking.

"So what's your name?"

"Kelly. Kelly Nickels." Kelly smiled. "And you, are Jay Walker, blue ninja."

"Yeah. You've heard of us, huh?" Jay asked.

"Yeah! And in all honesty, you're my favourite." Jelly giggled.

"Really." Jay said.

"Yupers! You're really funny, and cool." Kelly smiled. "You're awesome in my book."

"Thanks." Jay smiled, at the homeless girl. "So where do you live?" He asked.

Kelly stopped out side a building. The soup kitchen/homeless shelter. "Here."

"You're homeless?"

"Yeah. Me and my mom. I really don't wanna go into detail. Uh, hey. You wanna have dinner with us? It gets kinda lonely sometimes, but I know this is a long-"

"I'd love to." Jay said.

Kelly's face lit up instantly. "Really?!"

Jay was glad to see her smile. It was adorable. "Yeah."

"Yes!" Kelly smiled, and grabbed his hand. "Come on, come on, come on!"

That night, Jay talked to Kelly, and her mom, and had dinner. He really had a good time talking with, and getting to know them.

"It was nice meeting you both."

"You too, Jay." Kelly smiled.

Her mother, smiled. "I'm glad I got to meet you."

Jay nodded. He was shocked at how young Kelly's mom was. Only 27, 28? That's what she had said, anyhow. "Hey, let me give you my number. Just in case, you know, you get in trouble again."

"Hey, great! Thanks." Kelly smiled.

"Your welcome. See ya later, Kelly. Good bye miss Garcia." Jay said.

As he left, Kelly was filled with hope.

And, sadly, Kelly's mother, knew who to leave her prized possession to.
