Fishing

@bravetheperson- Thanks for the request!!

Sensei Garmadon teaches Lloyd to fish.

"Lloyd!" Sensei Garmadon called Lloyd. "Are you ready?"

"Just a little bit more, dad," Lloyd sighed as he brushed his teeth in the bathroom.

"You're taking a long time as if you're a model," Sensei Garmadon laughed.

"I'm not to blame for finding out 10 minutes ago that we're leaving an hour earlier." Lloyd said as he walked out of the bathroom.

"It's always important to be ready, son," Sensei Garmadon playfully teased Lloyd with his staff. "You, as the green ninja, should know that."

~~~~~~

"And here we are," Sensei Garmadon took in a breath of fresh air. "Finally in nature."

"We live in nature," Lloyd noted, looking around. "But yes, it is beautiful."

"The most beautiful lake in all of Ninjago and beyond," Sensei Garmadon said as he began to unwind the rope from the boat.

"Indeed," Lloyd looked in awe at the clear lake.

"Come on, son, help your old father untangle this boat."

"Gladly," Lloyd scratched his head uncertainly. "But I don't know exactly what to do."

"That's why your father will teach you now, Ha!" Sensei Garmadon said as he got into the boat. "Hop in, son!"

~~~~~

"Now slowly," Sensei Garmadon instructed Lloyd as he helped him bait the fishing rod. "Cast, like I taught you."

Lloyd cast the rod.

"You're doing well," Sensei Garmadon nodded proudly.

"What now?" Lloyd asked.

"Now we wait."

"How long?" Lloyd asked desperately.

"Maybe long, maybe short," Sensei Garmadon calmly replied. "Or maybe we won't catch anything."

"Really?" Lloyd sighed disappointedly. "I'm already hungry."

"Don't be like me," Sensei Garmadon suddenly said sharply.

"Like you?" Lloyd suddenly became interested.

"My father once took me to learn how to fish," Sensei Garmadon began the story. "Me and your uncle Wu. I was just much smaller than you."

"And what happened then?" Lloyd listened with interest. "Were you impatient?"

"I was impatient and rude. Just as I always was," Sensei Garmadon said with a strange sadness in his eyes.

It always hurt Lloyd to hear his father talk about his younger self, especially because Lloyd was similar.

"Father said all we need is faith. Wu catch a fish, and I didn't. That made me very angry."

Sensei Garmadon continued the story.

"I thought Wu always gets everything. But maybe it's because he listened to his father. Maybe we can try that too."

"To have faith?" Lloyd asked him. Sensei Garmadon nodded affirmatively.

Lloyd closed his eyes and listened to his father. He was very hungry, so he truly hoped that his grandfather's method would work.

"You did it!" Sensei Garmadon exclaimed with delight when he saw Lloyd's rod starting to move.

"Help me pull it out, it's a big one!" Lloyd groaned as he tried to pull the fish out of the water.

Sensei Garmadon helped him, and after a lot of effort, they finally pulled out the fish.

"You really did it," Sensei Garmadon said proudly and with a gleam in his eyes. "You accomplished what I always wanted, this is a huge fish!"

"We did it," Lloyd said, hugging Sensei Garmadon. "You are the best sensei to me, and the best father."

"I couldn't ask for a better son," Sensei Garmadon said and kissed Lloyd on the forehead. "You always manage to correct my mistakes."
