Author note - Hey guys!! I'm finally posting my Ninjago "Next Generation" holiday story. Some of the first chapters I wrote last year, but I have some new ones in the works as well. I don't have it finished but hopefully you guys enjoy the chapters I do manage to post
Chapter 1.
It was a cold and snowy afternoon in Ninjago on Christmas Eve, and the teenage children of the ninja were walking about and looking in store windows at the things on display. They were all in warm winter clothes, scarves and hats. Snowflakes gently fell from the sky everywhere.
They were walking past a electronic store when suddenly Tara, the daughter of Cole, saw a pair of blue and black headphones on display.
She blew her similarly colored hair out of her face and gasped a little. "Oh my gosh, I haven't seen those anywhere. I've only seen them online!"
"Well technically speaking, that would mean you would have seen them," Morgan said.
Tara nodded, she was used to these kinds of logical statements from Morgan. Morgan was a robot after all, built by Zane and Pixal.
"They look nice, did you have it on your Christmas list?" Xavier, Lloyd's son, asked.
"Actually, I already have a pair, I got them as a present from my dad a while ago as sort of 'start of the Christmas season' present. But I couldn't find them in stores anywhere afterwards. They were sold out." Tara explained.
"But if you already have them, why would you need another pair?" Morgan asked, tilting her head in confusion.
Tara smiled. "They are really high quality headphones and I wanted to get a pair as a present for Aaron when he comes to visit. He's supposed to arrive tonight."
"Oh, that would be a kind gift for your cousin," Morgan agreed happily.
Aries nodded. "He'd love it."
With a look at her watch, Tara looked at the door of the store. "I gotta see if I can buy it. Do you guys mind if I...??"
"That's fine, we'll see you later at the tree lighting, right?" Isaac said with a laugh.
Tara gave him a smirk and started to walk to the store's door. "Like you could keep me away! I'm helping with it! See you guys later!"
The others laughed and kept walking.
"You know I should probably get going too," Isaac said. "I always help my mom and my sister bake cookies before the tree lighting."
"Just as long as you remember to not let your dad try to bake them with his lightning powers. Remember that charred chocolate chip cookie batch you told us about last year?" Xavier reminded.
Isaac laughed. "Yeah, I remember. Hey, Morgan do you want to come with? You and your parents are staying with us until after the tree lighting, after all."
Morgan nodded happily. "Yes, I'll come with."
Isaac smiled then started to run off in the snow covered sidewalk, Morgan followed him quickly.
"We'll see you guys later!!" Isaac called back to Aries and Xavier.
"Okay! Don't slip on the ice, guys!" Xavier called back.
"We won't!" Isaac said, sliding a bit on the ice but caught himself, and laughed. "We'll try not to!"
Xavier shook his head with a grin, then looked at Aries and frowned. "You're quiet. Something wrong?"
Aries forced a smile. "No, I'm ok."
Xavier smiled. "Okay, if you say so. ...I should probably go home too, all of my relatives are probably even there already."
"Really? All of them?" Aries asked.
"Yeah, my parents obviously then my grandfather, my grandmother, my great-uncle, my great-aunt, my father's cousin, his wife, their daughter, my half-uncle, his wife, and their kids," Xavier said, trying to remember. "My other half-uncle and his wife can't be there but it's almost my entire family."
"That's a lot of family," Aries said, surprised.
"Yeah," Xavier admitted. "And my dad is going to want to know where I am so I can greet them as the..." he put the next words in air quotes. "'Next Green Ninja.'"
"I guess you better get going then." Aries said with a huff of a laugh.
Xavier nodded and adjusted his scarf so it looked more neat than the mess of fabric it was before. "Are you going to have trouble getting back in the snow or..?"
Aries shook his head. "No, I'll be fine. Luckily the vehicles have good traction in the snow and ice."
"Alright, see you later then," Xavier said, waving goodbye then started going back in the direction of where he left his vehicle.
Aries waved goodbye back then frowned when Xavier was far enough away. He sighed sadly then started to go back to his own vehicle.
