If you watch Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, this takes place between season 2 episode 5 ("Child's Play") and episode 6 ("Wrong Place, Wrong Time"). Lord Garmadon still has the mega-weapon, Lloyd is the older version of himself, and Garmadon still has Destiny's Bounty (even though one episode says they have it back). Please read this if you love Ninjago! :)

Amanda and I walk into the training room 803 and there he is – Kai, Ninja of Fire. "He's a lot hotter on TV than in real life," Amanda whispered. Amanda is my best friend, and she only joined this school for one reason: to meet Cole. When I showed her the application, her emerald-green eyes lit up as she saw his name under the list of trainers. All the ninja – including Lloyd and Nya – were trainers, but I had my hopes on Kai. Luckily, my wish came true.

"You're only saying that because you wanted Cole," I told her. "Kai is a lot better looking in real life." Then again, I didn't really care. For some reason, I've always felt a connection between Kai and me when I watched him on TV (I don't know why they're being filmed as they battle Lord Garmadon, though).

Amanda shot me a doubtful look, rolled her eyes, and sat down on a bench. Just then, Kai started talking.

"Ok, everyone. Please take a seat on the benches," Kai announced. After the class followed the order, he continued. "Welcome to the Ninja Academy. For those of you who don't know, my name is Kai, and I will be your trainer. I am going to take attendance, so when I call your name, just say 'here'." As Kai went through the list of students, that's when I noticed it: the class was full of boys. The only girls were Amanda and I. In a whisper, I pointed this out to my friend.

"Hey, you!" Kai shouted, making me jump. "Stand up!" After a couple of seconds, I realized he was talking to me. I rose from my seat and stood as still as I could, trying to hide the fear building up inside me. "What's your name?"

"Julia," I said, trying to stabilize the tremor in my voice. What is he going to do to me?! I thought.

Then, I realized that the rest of the students were laughing at me. "A girl ninja? Yeah right!" Someone said between fits of laughter.

"SILENCE!" Kai bellowed. And just like that, it was so quiet that you could hear the class next door. Directing his attention back to me, he said, "Step down here." I did. Motioning to me, he told the rest of the class, "This is an example of what will happen when you talk when I am talking. I am your mentor, and you will give me the respect I deserve." Crap. I'm in trouble on the first day.

He led me to the other side of the room, motioning for the rest of the class to follow. "This is our most difficult obstacle course," Kai said. "As you can see, it starts off as climbing a pole – and yes, it is buttered. You will have to jump onto that rope swing in order to swing across that pit filled with robotic snakes. Then, grab a weapon and fend off the robotic skeletons that try to stop you from reaching the ending platform, where you will have a surprise enemy to defeat." Looking at me, he added, "You have five minutes to complete it. If you fail – which all of my other new students have – then you will be kicked out and never allowed back in. If you succeed, then you can stay." Wonderful! So I'm getting kicked out because I was talking once on the first day. "Ready?" I nodded. "GO!"

I ran at the pole, then jumped as high as I could. Now being halfway up the 15-foot pole, I noticed that only parts of it were slippery. With that in mind, I finished climbing up, and stood on that platform on top. The rope swing was several feet away, so I used another running start to get on the swing, and I literally flew across the snake pit. I grab a sword before I landed, and ended up in the center of a group of six skeletons. Because they were obviously stupid as robots and in real life, they were an easy defeat.

At the ending platform, I glanced at Kai. He seemed pretty impressed. "Three more minutes!" he shouted, as my final obstacle appeared: a robotic Samukai. And yes, he had all four daggers. Suddenly, I had a brief flashback to the very first episode of Ninjago, when Kai was battling Samukai for the first time. Remebering his mistakes, I charged at Samukai. Before I reached him though, I did a baseball slide into his legs. Then, I chopped them off. Seeing the top half of his body still alive (or dead, or whatever you call a skeleton), I sliced off his hands, rendering his weapons useless. Then, without waring, Samukai said "Power mode off", and that was it. The battle was over.

A new confidence within me, I turned to Kai and said, "So, am I good enough to stay?" Everyone sat there gaping at me in shock – except Kai. I could still tell he was impressed, though.

"Not bad, Jules. Not bad at all. Well, for a beginner, at least." A rush of butterflies flew through me as he called me "Jules". Probably seeing the redness in my cheeks, he added "Is it ok that I call you that?" I nodded. "Ok then. Lets get started everyone!"

Kai sent everyone to a different training station, explaining the rules of each one. "Which one do I go to?" I asked him.

"You? You're coming with me."
