I came home from school later on. My golden retriever, Timber jumped on me and I stumbled back and fell.

"Hey how my little super genius?" Mathew asked me. I got up and have Timber a treat.

"I'm ok I guess how's Tiny?"
Tiny is my turtle.

"She's getting sicker." Mathew told me. Mathew is a veterinarian and Claire is a science teacher at Ninjago University.

I went to my bedroom. I got on the balcony. I sat on one of the garden bench that Mathew set up for me.

I started to think about what happened at lunch and tried to come up with a plan. I couldn't think so I took out my violin and started playing. I just closed my eyes and let the notes flow into my ears.

My mind was clear when I finished. What I didn't know was that someone close by was listening.

"That was a beatiful tune." a familiar voice was heard. I looked over to the right side of me and saw Lloyd?

(skylor x kai balcony reference here)

"Lloyd?" I questioned out loud. My glasses slid to the end of my nose and I quickly pushed them up.

"Hey, looks like we're neighbors. But you play violin?"he asked me.

"Yeah it's another one of my avocations. But what about this morning. You were at a different bus stop."

"Oh yeah. I guess I should tell you. I am not a morning person. I was late this morning."

"That explains a lot." I chuckled. I realized that my scrapbook was still missing. I know it sounds silly but I got to tell him.

"This morning after the fight."

"Yeah?"

"Um,well when we went in science I realized that my scrapbook was gone. I know it sounds silly but it's important to me. It has the only picture of my real parents. And I was wondering if you would like to help me search tomorrow?" I told him. He looked at me in the eyes and so did I it went on for a while. We blushed and looked away. I pushed my glasses up.

"Oh yeah about that,"he reached down and grabbed my scrapbook, "I was wanting to give it to you but I didn't want you to think of me as a thief. You see when we went inside for science. I saw something shining and I went to see what it was. It was a scrapbook. What was shining was the glitter on it. I looked at the first page it had your name."

"Don't be silly. I would never acuse you of a thief. What kind of friend would that be? Wait you looked through it didn't you?"I said to him.

"No,I knew it was private and it's wrong to look into someone's things without permission." He said and I agreed with him.

I realized something.

"Wait. How are you going to give the scrapbook when your over there and I'm over here, there's a gap between our houses. I don't want you to throw it."I asked him.

"Easy."he put the book in his backpack, stepped back, and jumped. I thought he wasn't going to make it.

"Lloyd!" I shouted. He was about to land on the rooftop(the balcony is on the roof). He landed lightly on his feet. I was surprised. He climbed over the balcony bar. He smiled and handed me my book. I thanked him. He sat on the bench with me.

"How did you do that?" I asked him.

"Do you promise to keep a secret?" He asked me and I nodded. I was always good at keeping secrets thanks to my shyness and quietness. Lloyd sighed.

"I-I am actually a ninja. My uncle is a sensei of spinjitzu. He taught Kai,Cole,Zane,Jay, Nya and me. Kai is fire, Cole is earth, Zane is ice, Jay is lightning, Nya is water and I am energy. I know I sound crazy but......it's true. It's true...." his voice faded.

"I.......believe you." I told him. His face looking at mine with a questioned expression.

"How else would you and Zane have done spinjitzu to save me? You'd have to learn it first." I told him we just kind of stood there sitting side by side. Then The Weekend Whip started playing. I realized it was a ringtone. I looked over at Lloyd.

"Oh sorry about that."he said while looking at the contact. He didn't look happy.

"It's Kai." he said quite annoyed and ignored the call.

"Sorry about what happened at lunch. I should have never mentioned the spinjitzu thing." I said.

"I should be the one to blame. I agreed to never see each other agian and left you alone. Even after I said we would be friends forever." He told me. I forgave him and we stayed there and watched the sun set. I left Lloyd and ran to get my camera I came and took a picture of the sunset.

The picture came out and I put it in the scrapbook. I didn't realize Lloyd was watching until we bumped our heads. My glasses slid on my nose agian.

"Sorry." we both said in sync and we laughed but not so loud that Mathew and Claire would hear. Lloyd pushed my glasses up by the center. I giggled. He looked at my scrapbook.

"Mind of I take a look?"he asked. I told him sure. He started looking through my book.

"How did you manage to get this close the animals?"he asked me. While flipping through the pages.

"I guess they just trust me. I approach them slowly and even though I'm only a foot away they don't run. Well except for Tiny and Timber. Their my pets." I explained. And I pointed at a picture of Tiny on Timber's head. Which Lloyd chuckled at.

"That's a true talent. And amazing photos." he got to a certain part of the book and stopped.

"About Me?" he questioned.

"Oh yeah. I don't know why I put that there. I guess I thought it would be fun. And it was." Lloyd started to read it.

"So your favorite color is purple and green huh?" I nodded in response.

"Yeah." I heard Claire call my name.

"I.....better go." I said to Lloyd.

"Me too. It was nice to learn a little bit more about you. See you around." Lloyd said and he left.

"Wait. See you? That's it!" I got my idea.
