Alora's POV

I was pacing in the airport as I waited for my friends. "Alora," Lloyd said.

I glanced at him. "I'm restless."

Ash smiled. "Want to play tag then?"

I smiled. "Ash, we're in an airport."

He grinned. "Having an obstacle course will make it even more fun." He touched me. "Tag, you're it!" And he ran off.

I sighed and gave chase catching him in the corner. I jogged backward having fun dodging him. He stopped and groaned. "You're too fast."

I smiled. "I'm only jogging. Come on. Use some of the flips Lloyd taught you."

"How will that help?"

"You'll move faster."

He jumped in the air and flipped and landed beside me. "Cool!"

I snorted. "Now come get me." I ran this time and he ran too. He caught me as he did another slip. I grinned. "See?" Someone clapped and I turned. "Darla!" I exclaimed and hugged her.

She hugged back. "Hello, Miss Ninja."

I gave a sheepish smile. "I live with them and have powers. Might as well be one of them."

Darla looked around. "Where are the others?"

I snickered. "Come on, dork." I led her to the others. "Guys, this is Darla and her boyfriend Zeke. Darla, Zeke, this is Nya, Kai, Cole, Jay, Zane, Pixel, my boyfriend Lloyd, Lloyd's little brother Ash."

Darla blinked ."Boyfriend?"

I smirked. "I can date too you know."

"But you've always thought love wasn't for you!"

I rolled my eyes. "You try sensing everyone's feelings. Then see if your beliefs change."

Zeke smiled. "Nice to know it took the Green Ninja to make you believe that you are lovable."

I wrinkled my nose. "I am not!"

"Are too," Lloyd muttered.

I whirled. "Lloyd!"

He grinned innocently. "What? I didn't say anything."

"Liar."

He snorted. "Well, you are adorable."

My narrowed. "Say that again and se what happens, Garmadon."

He smirked. "You're adorable."

I launch myself at him and we both go down. "Take it back!"

"No." He pinned me to the ground. "I win."

I glared. "Screw you."

Darla grins. "Aw."

I tilted my head toward her. "Don't you start."

A loud explosion is heard and Lloyd pulls me up quickly. We turn to see a guy. He looked around and then his eyes landed on me. "There you are, Alora, Drew," he said.

I gulped. "Who are you?"

He smirked. "The person who wants you pow..."

Lloyd shot energy at him. "You can't have her."

He threw a knife at Lloyd. "See if you can stop me."

Lloyd dodged and soon they were all fighting. Lloyd was stabbed in the stomach and everything slowed. I grabbed one of the knives that had missed me and chucked it. It hit the guy who is after my in the chest. He fell and I watched the life leave his eyes. I ran to Lloyd and pulled out the knife. My hands started glowing with blue healing light. "Hang on, Lloyd," I whispered.

He cracked his eyes open. "A...Alora?"

"I'm here."

Lloyd's POV

When I woke up, Alora was sitting beside me. "Alora?" I said.

Her eyes snapped to me. "Lloyd!"

I hugged her. "You healed me."

She winced. "It took three weeks but yeah, I did."

I blinked. "I was out for three weeks?"

"Sadly. I couldn't heal it all up at that moment. I tried but I passed out. I killed the guy who was after me too." She smiled. "So now we'll only have normal bad guys to deal with."

I smiled. "That would be fun. Where are your friends?"

She flinched. "Darla and Zeke freaked out when they saw the battle. They got a ticket back and left. They blocked me on social media and the blocked my number. They don't want to be friends with me anymore."

I stood. "Are you okay?"

She nodded. Then opened the door. "Ash? Lloyds awake!"

Oh, boy. I glared. "Cheater."

She smirked. "Paybacks a bitch."

Ash burst into the room. "Lloyd! You're okay!"

I picked him up. "Thanks to Dr. Drew."

Alora snorted. "Thanks, Lloyd."

I moved Ash so he was on my left hip and wrapped my right arm around Alora. "We're all family now."

She smiled. "You can say that again."
