A Baking Mishap

Every year, comes a new age in life. Whether you're ready for it or not, there is no way of stopping it. Well, maybe for everyone else, but most definitely not for the Master of Energy. Being physically aged up, his mentality had stayed the same. His body may seem like he's 21, but in actuality he was just around the corner to become an adult. 

Jay and Nya were very strict about the 'mental age' rule. It basically stated that Lloyd was not allowed to do anything 18+ while he was mentally a minor. Which meant no drinking, flirting with overage women, or any inappropriate things that the other ninja try to encourage despite the couple's warning. 

Today was a big day for the ninja family. Lloyd was finally turning 18 after a long awaited time. Kai, Cole, and Zane were already assigned on a mission to find more clues about the vengestone buyer, so they were unable to join the ninja family in the birthday celebration for the green ninja. 

So while they were out, Jay and Nya were on their own mission, a baking mission. Their plan was simple, make an 18 layer tier cake, with each layer being a different flavor of Lloyd's favorite candy. There's one problem though. 

They can't bake for their life. 

Once they tried to bake some brownies, and it ended up causing a kitchen house fire. To be fair, they didn't use a recipe for those. Nya had bought a bunch of cookbooks to make each flavor of cake while Jay had bought all cake ingredients imaginable. 

And yet their baking encounter still happened in disaster. 

"Jay, can you heat up the stick of butter please?" Nya asked her Yin as she was starting to mix in the dry ingredients with wet ingredients.  

The Master of Lightning took out a stick of butter and unwrapped it from it's wrapper, "Why do we need to heat it up?"

Nya looked back in her cookbook, "It says the butter need to be room temperature." 

"But hasn't the butter been sitting out of the refrigerator for thirty minutes already? So shouldn't it already be room temperature?" Jay questioned. 

The raven thought about it for a moment while she pursed her lips, "I guess it'll be fine then. Put it in the bowl I guess." 

Jay threw the whole stick in, not bothering to look at the measurements in the book. Nya mixed everything in the bowl, poured it in a pan and stuck it in a 400 degree oven for a good 25 minutes. This was the last layer they had to bake, and once it was done, they could start stacking. 

The water ninja leaned against the kitchen counter and threw a rag over to Jay to wipe away his head sweat. Instead if catching it, it hit him square in the face, slowly falling into his hands from how sticky his sweat is.  

"I'm so done with this," Jay muttered to himself, "We're so close to finishing this cake." 

"At least Cole isn't helping us. We'd never get anything done if he was here." Nya tried to calm her tired Yin. 

Jay walked over to his Yang and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder as she stared down in the cookbook. 

He kissed her cheek lightly and nuzzled into the crook of her neck, "You're so cute, ya know?" 

She sighed, "I feel more gross than cute at the moment." She admitted, leaning into her lover. 

"Well I think you look beautiful no matter how gross you feel." Jay told her, his breath sent shivers down Nya's spine as they just hold onto each other. 

The Master of Water smiled and looked over at the remaining layers of the cake they would have to stack soon, "I really hope that twerp appreciates this cake. I'd ground him and put him in the corner in time out on his birthday if he doesn't." Nya said monotone.
