Falling (Lloyd X Reader)

ZANE'S POV:

Zane left to take out the trash, as the others laughed making a mess in the dining area. He put the bag into the bin and took off his apron. That's when Zane noticed a bird sitting on the powerline. The bird was watching Zane.

Zane peered curiously at the bird. The bird copied him. Zane shook his head, so did the bird. Zane mocked a wing flap, dancing. So did the bird. Now, knowing that the bird had Zane's attention it took off.

Zane at first was hesitant to follow, hearing the others laugh but he eventually followed. What Zane didn't know was that [name] had just left from underneath the table to come find him. Only to see he wasn't there disappointed she returned to the others, to eat.

TIME SKIP:

Zane felt as if he had been running forever. At a few points he had to stop to catch his breath. Zane was met by the edge of a cliff, but that wasn't what was interesting it was below the cliff.

If I see one girl in here, that isn't [name]. I'm gonna go ballistic! Lloyd shouted at the snakes, well more to himself. Zane looked at the structure. Lloyd, he was building a tree fortress. But, why? Zane questioned to himself. He then looked up to the bird. He had decided it was a falcon

Thank you, my mysterious friend.

TIME SKIP:

Zane returned very early in the morning, waking the others. He told them that he'd found where Lloyd was now camping. He made sure to leave a note for sensei, before leading the ninja to the tree fortress.

I don't even think Zane knows where he's going. Uh, tell us again how you stumbled upon Lloyd's secret headquarters?

I followed a bird.

Why did you follow a bird?

Because it danced.

Oh. Okay. Was it a cuckoo bird?

Kai, Jay, and Cole laughed, Zane just kept running, and [name] was starting to fall behind. [name] started to suspect this was master's doing, to get them all to do a morning run. Even so, [name] still would have went, she had to argue with big brother Cole first but she got her way. No way was she gonna be missing out on more missions. She was tired of waiting, everyone but her got to use their training.

Of course not. Everyone knows cuckoo birds are not indigenous to these forests.

Then he continued running faster, gosh, [name] was about to give up but it wasn't very far until the boys stopped and [name] caught up.

WATCH IT! A squeaky voice yelled. No, bigger! Come on, we don't have all day. It's not time for a lunch break.

Holy cannoli, Frosty was right!

We can't let that brat and those snakes get a foothold in Ninjago. We got to destroy that thing before it becomes operational.

[name] stood amazed, it was AWESOME. Of course, she wouldn't tell the ninja that. But, Lloyd always used to tell her that he'd build a treehouse for the two of them. As soon as he was out of Darkly's, she wondered if this is what he meant.

Whoa. Are you sure? It looks like a pretty cool treehouse. Oh, Jay. There's a ropes course. Oh, a tree swing.

Hey! Remember whose team your'e on. All right, guys, what do we do?

It looks like the entire place is being supported by those three trees. Once those ties are severed, the whole thing is gonna fall like a house of cards.
