(for young Ray)

Have you met Gregory's son yet? You two seem like you'd get along pretty well.

- Spring, 2001 -

“I babysit Miles sometimes when Mr. Edgeworth and Detective Badd decide to do some investigating on their own. He’s such a nerd- he knows more about legal codes and global issues than some adults I meet!

And he has no friends. Well, did. I think Mr. Edgeworth said something about him and these two other boys in his class… who knows.”

Sleep talking

Oneshot in which Garmadon talks while sleeping.

Request from ao3!

"I don't talk while I sleep!" Garmadon shouted angrily and slammed the door behind him.

He knew he was behaving like a child, but he couldn't help it. He hated that he talked in his sleep; everyone always laughed about it...

"Brother?" Wu quietly peeked into the room. It was Wu; of course, he immediately felt sorry for him.

"We're sorry." Ray said as he entered the room with Wu.

"I just can't help myself." Garmadon sighed.

"We know." Maya smiled gently. "You're not to blame, but of course, we find it funny."

They all chuckled lightly at that, and Garmadon blushed. "I'm afraid to say something wrong..."

"You've said a lot of wrong things, brother." Wu sighed with a smile. "But it’s endearing..."

"Listen." Ray whispered into Garmadon's ear. "If you like that Misako so much, maybe you should ask her out, huh?"

"Pardon?" Garmadon flushed even deeper.

"Well, you talk about her all the time in your sleep..." Ray shrugged.

~~~~~~

"Garm?" Misako yawned and turned over in bed. "I can't hear..." She began, then remembered.

Garmadon was talking in his sleep again. She lay down next to him and listened a bit as he spoke.

She couldn't understand much, but she clearly heard her name... and a birthday surprise. Misako turned over and put a pillow over her head so she wouldn't hear it all.

She started to laugh.

"What happened?" Garmadon sleepily asked.

"I just don’t want to hear everything about my birthday surprise." Misako giggled. It took Garmadon a few seconds for his sleepy brain to process what was really happening.

"I'm going to die..." He said, burying his face in the pillow.

"I actually think that’s really sweet." Misako comforted him and kissed him on the temple.

"Really?" Garmadon was astonished. "I can barely hide anything."

"That's good." Misako reminded him and smiled once more.

And Garmadon smiled a little too. Perhaps because of her, he would accept talking in his sleep.

~~~~~~

Garmadon and Wu were riding a train.

"Watch out!" Garmadon suddenly shouted loudly, and the entire train turned to face them.

Wu dropped into a fighting stance until he realized what was happening. Garmadon was talking in his sleep again.

"Wu eats his boogers!" Garmadon then yelled, and the whole train looked at Wu with disgust.

"Pardon? I swear I’m not..." Wu began, but Garmadon shouted again.

"Wu eats his boogers!" Passengers began commenting among themselves, and Garmadon wouldn't stop.

"WU.."

"Stop!" Wu pleaded desperately, shaking him. "Wake up, please!!"

"WU, DON’T STICK YOUR FINGERS IN YOUR NOSE, DON’T EAT BOOGERS!!!" Garmadon asked one more time before waking up.

Now the whole train was commenting on Wu and supposedly... "I dreamed that..." Garmadon said, confused, scratching his head. "I dreamed that..."

"I know what you dreamed." Wu said, utterly red, burying his face in his hands.

~~~~~~

"Mom." Lloyd said, walking over to Misako. "Dad fell asleep on the couch, and he..."

"Talks in his sleep." Misako smiled gently.

"I thought I’d say something different." Lloyd laughed. "I didn't know!"

"Come here." Misako said, sitting next to Garmadon.

"Garm." She whispered softly in his ear and gently shook him.

"Dad, wake up." Lloyd chimed in after her.

"Monkey in red underwear..."

"What?" Lloyd asked, astonished.

"Garm... Now it’s time to wake up." Misako giggled, shaking him lightly.

"The monkey climbed up on Wu's shoulder... and Wu screams..."

"Dad!" Lloyd said, laughing like crazy.

"I'm feel sorry for Wu." Misako laughed. "He always dreams something embarrassing about him..."

"Wu and I are monkeys in red underwear." Garmadon repeated, and Misako and Lloyd began laughing loudly.

"Red underwear? What?" Garmadon said, confused, looking at Misako and Lloyd.

"You talked in your sleep again." Misako smiled.

"I don'r remember." Garmadon frowned slightly. "Did I dream something interesting?"

"Did you remember anything about red underwear?" Lloyd was still cracking up.

"I..." Garmadon said, turning beet red. "How much did I say?"

"Too much love." Misako said, stroking his hair.

"That stays right here between these walls, okay?" Garmadon asked, looking at Lloyd.

Oh, God, he hoped he wouldn't tell the ninjas.

Part 2 of Movie Madness

IMPORTANT or not idk:

This comic is from an o.g ninjago perspective so no oni half dragon stuff. If you can see how this fits with the oni thing that's cool too.

Thank you for reading.💕

This is an au where Wu is made into an elemental master my the FSM later in life, and elemental masters are seen as monsters.

Tw for gun violence in one shot

Wu took a step towards the door against his better instincts. His voice wavering as his pleads fall on def ears.

"Ray, please- I can protect you and your family! The power of creation, the element user at your bec and call!"

Wu took another step forward, his heart shooting with pain and hurt as his once kind hearted best friend glares at him with venom and disgust. Wu could hear the click to the shot gun as Ray points it at him.

"I already told you."

The coldness in Ray's voice brought tears to Wu's eyes. This can't be him- This can't be the Ray that used to make jokes of being a package deal.

"Ray-"

Click

"Wu, get out of here. I don't want to shoot you if I don't have to."

"Ray, please-"

Bang

Before Wu can ever reach out towards Ray, he felt the bullet tear through the end of his tail, and he let out a blood curdling scream. Of pain, not just of the wound, but of who shot at him.

Backing away out of fear, he gave Ray a teary eyed look. Ray however showed no remorse.

"R-Ray?"

Click

"If there's anything human left in you, you'll leave."

He pointed the gun back at Wu.

And Wu retreats. This isn't his best friend anymore- he's not sure Ray has been his best friend in a long time.

The hard side of growing up-Part4-New Year's

Part3

Thanks @master-jarrus for the request!! Sorry, I know it took to long..

Garmaodn and Wu were always forced by TFSM to eat healthy and train. When it came to New Year, they couldn't enjoy themselves like the others.. Misako and Ray decided to help them overcome the mental consequences of growing up like that, but could they disappear?

"Come on, Wu and Garmadon!" young Ray laughed and called the brothers inside.

"Why don’t you want to eat cake with us? It’s New Year’s!" Young Wu and young Garmadon exchanged glances.

"We’re just not in the mood..." Garmadon explained for both of them.

"You must celebrate with us!" Lilly came onto the balcony. "Come on, calories don’t count on New Year’s. It’s not the same without you."

"You don’t understand," Wu said quietly, and everyone looked at them in surprise.

After a few more attempts to persuade them, they finally gave in.

~~~~~~~

"Where are Wu and Garmadon?" young Misako asked when she woke up at nine in the morning.

"They’ve been running since six," Maya sleepily replied.

"Don’t tell me it’s that New Year, new me thing..." Misako sighed.

"That’s just how they are all the time." Ray clenched his jaw. "You know, they had a strict father. He always pushed them hard about health and training..."

"That’s..." Misako couldn’t find the words to express her thoughts.

"Weird, yes," Ray said. "A bit abusive, but he wanted the best for them..."

~~~One year later:~~~

"Wu!" Ray had been trying to find Wu for a while.

He searched everywhere in the house where they were celebrating, but it seemed Wu didn’t want to be found.

"Found you!" Ray exclaimed when he saw him standing with his head in his hands, sitting in a corner.

"Are you okay?" Ray looked at him with concern.

"No..." Wu said somewhat hysterically.

"Wu..." Ray cautiously sat down next to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. He had never seen him like this.

"I ate too much!" Wu gasped. "A piece of cake, two pieces of pizza, and..."

"It’s okay, it’s okay," Ray tried to calm him down. "Why is that such a problem? It’s New Year’s..."

"But my father always insisted that we’d die eating unhealthy," Wu said as he slowly began to calm down.

"Your father hasn’t been around for a long time... And you know that once in a while, an exception doesn’t hurt."

"I know, but..." Wu continued to gasp.

"But what?" Ray gently patted him on the shoulders to help him relax.

"But I can’t help that feeling... Every time I do something like this..."

"You have to pull yourself out of that mental state," Ray hugged him. "I’ll help you, my friend, I promise."

"Thank you," Wu returned the hug. "If it’s possible..."

"Yes, you’ll see."

~~~~~~

Garmadon was panting as he checked the time. Eight o’clock, which meant two hours of running...

"Hey," Misako said, and Garmadon jumped.

"What are you doing here?" he said in surprise.

"I tried to get up at six, but I didn’t manage..."

"You were partying until five," Garmadon smirked slightly.

"Why aren’t you with us?" Misako raised an eyebrow. "You and Wu both went to sleep a second after midnight."

"We had to rest," Garmadon sighed.

"Anyway, I got up at seven and have been waiting for you since then."

"You were waiting for me?" Garmadon asked, his heart fluttering at that, but he wanted to push it aside.

"Yes... Didn’t you tell me you hated these morning runs?"

"And I do," Garmadon said as he sat down.

"So why do you do them?" Misako sat across from him. "Especially on New Year’s..."

"I have to," Garmadon rubbed his head. "It’s a mechanism that has really been instilled in us... If I don’t do it, I don’t feel... Actually, I can’t not do it."

Misako frowned and looked at him. "Are you happy doing that?"

"Of course not," Garmadon sighed. "I can’t even enjoy myself... But it’s stronger than me."

"Maybe there’s a way to overcome it," Misako suggested optimistically. "Slowly but surely."

Garmadon looked at her in surprise.

"Do you really think so?"

"I’m sure," Misako said, smiling. "I want to help you with this."

Saying that, she reached out her hand. If anyone else had told him this, he wouldn’t have believed them.

But this was Misako... He didn’t yet know what he felt for her, but he was sure he could trust her.

"I’d be very happy to," Garmadon smiled and shook her hand. "Thank you. But please go back to sleep; you look like you’re about to collapse."

~~~A few years later:~~~

"Okay, these are trial cookies for Maya’s birthday," Misako said as she placed them on the table. "They’re good, but they need to disappear before Maya arrives."

"I’ll get a trash can!" Wu offered, but Misako’s gaze stopped him.

"I think we have to eat them," Ray said. "All of them."

"What?" Garmadon looked at Ray and his fiancée in surprise. "But..."

"Exceptions aren’t always bad..." Wu repeated as he ate a cookie.

"Actually, it’s not hard to get used to this." Garmadon said in surprise, "But I still feel a bit guilty..."

"All of that will settle with time," Ray reassured them.

"I agree," Misako smiled.

Part 1

I don't know the name of the ghost but it's an urban legend I heard from a YouTube video a long time ago that I found kinda funny. I do believe it's a Japanese one.

Oh I forgot, Garmadon is not an oni half dragon person thing in this. I do OG ninjago stuff. Sorry if you like the whole oni thing.
