[ID below the cut]

[ID: An animatic of Zane and Jay from Ninjago to the song "Lonely Dancers" by Conan Gray. It opens with the title "Lonely Dancers: Zane and Jay Animatic" before cutting to a shot of Zane's feet, which shuffle to the side as he gets ready.

There's a singular singer in the background, singing, "we're lonely dancers, join me for the night..."

Zane puts on his blazer and then his earrings, smiling as the little studs sparkle on his ear.

The singer continues: "We're lonely dancers, baby, dance with me so we don't cry..."

We see Zane from the back as he straightens up and runs his hand through his hair. The camera cuts to an old record player that's playing the song on the outside deck of the monastery.

A second singer joins in: "We're lonely dancers, there's no need to hide-"

Jay is shown adjusting his belt and quickly tugging on his blazer before clipping on a necklace with a smile.

Singers: "I know the answer baby-"

Zane and Jay are shown walking towards each other.

Singers: "-dance with me so we don't cry!"

The two of them stand dramatically back to back as the camera zooms out and we finally see both of them in full. Zane laughs as Jay cheekily leans further, sliding down on Zane's back, and then Jay hip-bumps him, telling him, "Get movin', dance machine." Zane stumbles and replies, "Ok, ok-" and quickly recovers to stand beside Jay as they sing along to the song.

"La la lala laa-" Zane shifts to lay dramatically on Jay's back.

"-Cry!"

They both giggle a bit at the antics and continue singing: "La la lala laa-"

Jay grabs Zane's shoulders, turning him around to face him and sings: "Your lover left you, broke up tonight!" Jay clenches his fist in mock anguish as Zane nods sadly.

A doodle of Pixal is shown in the upper corner, it says, "Went shopping."

Jay flops into Zane's arms. "My lover's busy, kissing other guys..."

A doodle of Nya is shown in the other corner, it says, "Went with Pixal."

Jay sings, "We're both alone now, tears in our eyes." The whole of the courtyard is shown as Jay lifts his hand and gestures around them at the emptiness.

The camera focuses back on them as he sings with a mischievous grin, "I know the perfect way to waste our time!" He slides his arm off of Zane's shoulders in a smooth motion and tugs the both of them into a spin as he sings the line, eventually letting go of Zane and letting him spin off to the side in a whirlwind while he regains his balance.

Jay straightens up with a smirk and the camera goes back to Zane, who finally stops spinning with a shocked, wide-eyed expression. Jay slides up next to him not long after, offering his hand with a smile.

Singers: "We're lonely dancers... join me for the night-

Zane glances incredulously between him and the offered hand before relenting and grabbing it. This time though, he confidently takes control of the dance, saying, "My turn." /end ID]
