Hey y'alls! This just came to me randomly one night and I thought it'd make a good story. (Important note at the end) Enjoy!
Chapter 1:
Lloyd walked into the games room,
"Hey guys. We got an invitation to do a talk at a near by primary school. What do you guys think?" Lloyd explained,
"Why?" Kai asked,
"Something about inspirational people week." Lloyd explained,
"Would we have the time?" Zane asked,
"I don't see why not. Things have died down and we would have the time." Zane stated. Lloyd turned around as Wu walked in,
"It's your call nephew." Wu stated,
"If everyone's cool with it. Be ready tomorrow at 9 sharp." Lloyd stated as he left the room.
The next day, the ninjas and Pixal headed to the primary school and saw little children running around everywhere. The boys in a white button up shirts and black pants and the girls in white button up shirts, tan, red and dark brown plaid skits and black tights,
"Ninjas and Samurai X! It's a honour to meet you all." A woman with dark brown hair that was extremely curly and reached just below her shoulders and chocolate brown eyes. She wore a light purple button up shirt with a slightly darker purple blazer with matching pencil skirt and light purple heels with darker purple details
"I'm Ms Katherin. Lloyd, I spoke to you over the phone." Ms Katherin explained,
"Hi. Nice to meet you too." Lloyd stated as they shook hands,
"The children will be thrilled to meet you all. They're all fans of you all." Ms Katherin explained as the bell went, "If you all will follow me, I'll show you the way to the front office and someone there will show you to my classroom." Ms Katherin explained. The ninjas and Pixal followed Ms Katherin to the office, signed in and someone showed them to a classroom.
The classroom was brightly coloured with pictures hung up everywhere,
"Ok class. Please sit on the mat. We have some special guest." Ms Katherin announced. The children hurried to the front of the class where it was clear as Ms Katherin walked over to the ninjas and Pixal,
"Are you ready?" Ms Katherin asked,
"Yep." Jay replied. They followed Ms Katherin and saw how the children's jaws dropped and eyes widened at the site of them,
"I want you all to be very respectful of our guest for they have taken time out of their busy day to come talk to you all." Ms Katherin explained before stepping to the side and giving the floor over,
"Hi. If you don't know us, I'm Lloyd and this is Kai, Nya, Jay, Cole, Zane and Pixal." Lloyd started out before for looking lost on what to say,
"Why don't you tell the children what it takes to do what you do?" Ms Katherin suggested,
"Well to be a protector of Ninjago, you need to have balance." Lloyd started,
"You need to know when to be tough." Kai continued,
"And when to go with the flow." Nya added,
"How about some questions so we know what to talk about?" Pixal suggested as children raised their hands,
"How can you be tough and go with the flow?" a boy asked,
"You need to be tough for the physical work like jumping from roof tops or punching the bad guy and you need to go with the flow to map out a plan or figure out how to fight the bad guys." Cole explained. A couple questions later, Ms Katherin soon got the children to work on a worksheet,
"Are you guys staying?" Ms Katherin asked,
"If it's ok with you." Lloyd replied,
"Wonderful!" Ms Katherin exclaimed as she looked at the clock, "There's an hour till recess if that's how long you guys are planning to stay." Ms Katherin informed,
"That'll work just fine." Lloyd stated. The ninjas and Pixal helped out the children who need it.
Cole spotted a little girl with dark blond hair that was tied in a high ponytail, and looked extremely long, and vibrant green eyes, had her hand in the air. Cole had spotted this child while answering questions. She didn't raise her hand but she constantly looked around as if she was waiting for the others to finish. When the questions got cut off, Cole saw that she was disappointed but smiled when she saw the smiles on the children who asked questions faces. Cole walked over to her,
"Can I help you?" Cole asked and saw how her eyes seemed to shimmer with excitement at the site of him,
"Please." She replied,
"What's your name?" Cole asked as he knelt down next to her,
"Kalara." Kalara replied,
"Nice to meet you Kalara. What do you need help with?" Cole asked,
"The sheet is asking us to draw what we want to be when we grow up but I don't know." Kalara asked. Cole glanced down at the sheet and saw a large box with nothing in it, 'When I Grow Up, I Want To Be A' written at the top next to a line where the teacher would write in what they drew a picture of,
"Well, what do you want to do?" Cole asked,
"I don't know. I really like dancing and I want to help people." Kalara explained. Cole looked at the other seats at the table Kalara sat at and saw they were empty,
"You like to help people huh?" Cole asked,
"Yeah. It gives me a feeling like I made someone happy." Kalara explained,
"Well, how about you do both." Cole suggested,
"How?" Kalara asked,
"You could work towards dancing as a career and when you're not dancing, you could help people out like charity work, helping the homeless or other stuff like that." Cole explained,
"That's great! Thank you Cole." Kalara stated as she started to draw. Cole smiled as he stood back up and walked over to Ms Katherin,
"Hey. Why is that Kalara girl sitting alone?" Cole asked,
"Oh Kalara. I don't know. The other kids don't seem to connect with her. Although she's always trying to help the other kids, they still can't connect to her. I've tried everything I can to try and help the problem, nothing has worked. I'm still trying, I'm just lost on what to do." Ms Katherin explained. Cole nodded at the teacher's dilemma,
"Well I'm sure something will happen." Cole reassured and Ms Katherin smiled. Soon the bell for recess went and the children ran out,
"Thank you all for coming in. The children loved it." Ms Katherin stated,
"Any time. It was fun." Lloyd stated. On their way out, Cole spotted Kalara. Kalara was jumping across some flat stones that were lined across the fence,
"A sailor went to sea, sea, sea. To see what he could sea, sea, sea." Kalara sang as she jumped from stone to stone, until she missed her footing and fell, but Cole caught her,
"Easy there. Don't want you getting hurt." Cole stated as he helped her up,
"Thank you. Don't worry. It happens sometimes." Kalara reassured,
"Where are your friends?" Cole asked, curious on what she would have to say about what he learnt from her teacher,
"I don't have any friends. I tried to go play with them but I just got forgotten. At least I won the 1 game of hide and seek." Kalara explained, finishing with a smile as she rocked from heel to toe in her pink butterfly sneakers,
"So you do this everyday?" Cole asked,
"Recess, lunch and outdoor playtime." Kalara explained a car horn sounded,
"YOU COMING OR WHAT?" Jay asked,
"HOLD YOUR HORSES! I'M COMING!" Cole replied before turning back to Kalara, "I hope I see you round sometime." Cole stated,
"Bye Cole." Kalara stated,
"Bye Kalara." Cole replied as he walked over to Jay's car and jumped in,
"What took ya? One second, you're behind us. The next you're talking to a kid." Jay stated but Cole just rolled his eyes.
Back at the bounty, Cole was searching around, looking for something,
"What ya looking for?" Kai asked,
"My keys. They were in my pocket but they've disappeared." Cole explained,
"Maybe you dropped them at the school." Kai suggested,
"I'll get the phone number off Lloyd." Cole stated. Cole got the number from Lloyd and dialled it,
"Hello?" a female voice asked,
"Hi. Is this Ms Katherin?" Cole asked,
"Yes it is. Who is this?" Ms Katherin asked,
"Cole Brookestone." Cole replied,
"Oh! Hello Cole. How can I help you?" Ms Katherin asked,
"Did you find a set of keys in your classroom today?" Cole asked,
"In fact, Kalara handed in a set today." Ms Katherin informed, "Do your keys have a rock dragon key chain?" Ms Katherin asked,
"Yes." Cole replied,
"Unfortunately I placed them in my draw in my classroom. Would you be able to pick them up tomorrow?" Ms Katherin asked,
"Tomorrow will be fine. What time does the school day start?" Cole asked,
"The school day starts at 8:40 am but I get in at 7:45 am." Ms Katherin explained,
"Would 8 be ok?" Cole asked,
"Of course. I'll see you then." Ms Katherin stated,
"Thank you. See you then." Cole replied,
"So?" Kai asked at the doorway,
"You were right. Gonna pick them up tomorrow." Cole explained.
The next day, Cole borrowed Jay's car and drove to the school. Cole knocked on the door of Ms Katherin's class and she opened the door,
"Cole. Do come in." Ms Katherin stated as she led Cole into the class and opened her top draw and pulled out a set of keys and handed them to Cole,
"Thank you. Sorry about that. They must've fallen out while I helped the kids." Cole stated as a tiny knock on the door. Cole and Ms Katherin looked to see Kalara but her uniform was dirty and her hair was messy,
"Kalara. Come in." Ms Katherin stated as she pulled out a clean uniform from her cupboards and handed it to Kalara, who took it with a smile and walked to the bathrooms that joined Ms Katherin's room and the room next door,
"If you don't mind me asking, what was that about?" Cole asked,
"Since the start of the year, Kalara's parents haven't been taking as much care as they did last year. Whenever I bring this up with her, she simply states that her parents are just busy. I've tried to contact them but both their phones have been disconnected and she doesn't have any other family." Ms Katherin explained. Cole nodded as Kalara walked up to them in the clean uniform and handed her dirty 1 to Ms Katherin, who took it and put it where the clean one was, before pulling out a hairbrush and started to brush Kalara's hair,
"Thanks for turning in my keys." Cole stated,
"No problem. I figured they might be yours because when I came in from recess, they were where you were helping me." Kalara explained as Ms Katherin finished brushing her ponytail and took out the hair tie. Cole saw as her hair just dropped so it was now to her ankles,
'When was the last time she got a hair cut?' Cole thought as Ms Katherin finished with Kalara's hair, which was now back in her ponytail,
"Thank you Ms Katherin for helping me." Kalara stated,
"It no problem. Just remember to tell your parents to come in at some point." Ms Katherin reminded,
"I'll tell them when they're no longer busy." Kalara stated as Ms Katherin motioned her to go play outside. Once Kalara left, Ms Katherin sighed,
"You ok?" Cole asked,
"Yeah just worried for the girl." Ms Katherin informed,
"If it makes you feel better, I can see into Kalara's parent's work forces and see what they do for a living." Cole stated,
"That'll be wonderful. Thank you." Ms Katherin stated,
"I'll try and do that when I get home. What's Kalara's last name?" Cole asked,
"West." Ms Katherin stated,
"Kalara West. Got it. Thanks again for my keys. See ya." Cole stated,
"Bye." Ms Katherin stated as Cole walked out and drove back to the bounty.
