The Ninja are sleeping when a ringing wakes them up.

" Evil doesn't sleep and neither should you!" Wu shouts as he bangs a cymbal

All Ninja groan.

"Whyyyyyy" Aria whines

"In order to reach your full potential, we must greet each day as an opportunity" Wu said

Kai gets up "Okay okay, we're up. But if you want us to reach full potential, shouldn't we at least get a full night of rest?"

Cole stretches his back "You call that a rest? I think my back had more lumps than the mattress" 

"We were up so late, talking about how cool it is to have a new headquarters, I guess we lost track of time. Since the Serpentine burned down our monastery, I'm just glad we have a roof over our head" Jay says as he starts to brush his teeth and spits out some dirt that replaced his toothpaste. "ugh ew"

Aria laughs

"Real funny Aria" Jay says annoyed

Zane stood up "What is our lesson today, Sensei? Mastering the strike of the Scorpion? Or perhaps the grace of—"

"I think today's lesson would be chores" Wu says quickly

"Chores?!" the ninja shouts

"Ninja fight, Sensei. They do not clean" Cole argues

"In order to respect ourselves, we must respect our new home and where we are from. And this place is a long way from becoming a Ninja headquarters. I expect things to be spotless when I return. And put your backs into it" Wu bangs the cymbal again "Aria you may go back to sleep"

"thank Lucifer" Aria covers herself with her blanket

"That's so unfair" Jay complains

"Well she is still a child Jay" Cole defends

"All children need their sleep" Zane adds

"Correct, now i will be back later, do not wake Aria up" Wu instructs before leaving

Aria walks down the stairs to see the ninja and Wu all gathered around.

"Now that they have left, maybe Jay can teach us the art of kissing pillows" Wu snickers.

"Ugh!" Jay shouts in frustration

"What's this about Jay kissing pillows?" Aria questions

Kai smirks "Aria you're never going to believe this Jay-"

"Nothing for a kid to worry about" Jay interrupts

"I'm not a kid" Aria puts her hands on her hips

"you're 10, you don't do chores, you're short, you're cute, your nickname is princes, and you sleep too much" Kai lists "you are a kid"

Aria sticks her tongue out at him "Just wait until I'm older"

"yeah yeah" Cole waves his hand

-

The next morning Jay is working on a button. Kai and Zane pass by.

"Sure got a lot of junk piling up. If only there was a place we could get rid of it..." Kai says

"If you don't mind, I'm trying to focus" Jay says annoyed

Cole then passes by pretending to be on the phone "Hi, mom and dad. Of course, I'd love to visit. What kind of son would I be if I didn't want to?"
