Lloyd and Jay eagerly ripped open two packets of Kraft Microwave Mac N Cheese with glee, putting the macaroni into two separate bowls. Jay snatched both bowls and put them in the microwave, and Lloyd ran into the living room, which was already prepped for their Starfarer movie marathon.
Lloyd sat down, loading the movie up when he sniffed the air. “Is something burning?” Lloyd asked, and Jay smelled something burning coming from the kitchen.
“Uh, is it the Mac n cheese?” Jay nervously asked, and Lloyd shrugged.
Jay and Lloyd ran into the kitchen to find the source of their problem. Jay stopped the timer on the microwave, opening the door and the two were hit with a thick cloud of smoke. Lloyd coughed as Jay fanned the air in front of him with his arm.
“Close the microwave, Jay!” Lloyd urged, running over and opening the windows to let in fresh air.
Jay closed the microwave and turned on the dining room fan. The smell of the smoke still burned Lloyd’s nostrils, causing him to cough more.
“I’m just going to uh, leave that in there, hehe,” Jay chuckled as he and Lloyd walked out of the kitchen.
“Oh well, we still have plenty of other stuff to eat,” Lloyd sighed, walking back into the game room, sitting back down onto the couch. He played the movie and got comfortable as he opened a box of Nerds. Jay sat next to him, too tired to clean up.
As they continued to watch their movie, Lloyd got up and walked into the kitchen, grabbing a popcorn packet from the pantry. He glanced over to the kitchen counter and screeched, jumping up onto the fridge. Jay ran in, thinking something was wrong.
“What’s wrong?!” Jay yelled, panicking as he saw Lloyd on top of the fridge.
“Kill it!” Lloyd demanded, pointing at a spider the size of his hand that was chilling on the counter across from the fridge
Jay shrieked once he spotted it, also jumping on top of the fridge. He bumped into Lloyd, who grew annoyed.
“Find your own hiding spot!” He complained, but Jay began panicking as he spotted the spider crawl down to the floor.
Lloyd and Jay eyed the spider as it crawled towards the fridge, Lloyd panicked, throwing a cutting board at it, but missed by an inch.
Lloyd looked at Jay, who looked at him. Jay suddenly grabbed Lloyd and threw him down. Lloyd shrieked as he landed on the spider. He jumped up, screaming as he saw the now freshly crushed spider on the floor. Its guts, and even its leg was stuck the the back of his gi. Jay laughed his ass off from on top of the fridge. Lloyd threw the cutting board from earlier at him, effectively shutting him up as it hit his face.
Lloyd ran into his room and changed into a different gi, scowling as he tossed the spider-infected one into his laundry basket.
He walked back into the kitchen and saw Jay open the popcorn packet Lloyd took out and opened the microwave, forgetting that they still had burnt macaroni in it. Jay coughed as smoke hit him immediately as Lloyd laughed at him.
Jay shot him an unamused glare as he shut the microwave door, tossing the popcorn packet onto the counter.
The two sat back down onto the couch and watched their movie marathon in peace.

As the last movie ended, Jay turned off the TV and turned to Lloyd, who dozed off to sleep. Jay smiled and picked Lloyd up, carrying him into his room.
Jay set Lloyd down in his bed and covered him with his comforter, picking up Lloyd’s favorite dragon plush and placed it in his arms. He smiled, ruffling Lloyd’s hair gently.
“‘Night kiddo,” he said, leaving Lloyd’s room, closing the door behind him.
Jay picked up all of their trash and threw it away, putting the remotes back and folding the blankets. He went to his room and passed out the second his head hit the pillow.

Kai walked into the monastery, followed by Cole. They’re mission was lengthy and tiring. Kai would kill for some dino nuggets. After setting his stuff down, Kai walked into the kitchen and screamed a little from shock.
On the floor was a crushed spider the size of his hand, its guts smeared on the tiles, which grossed Kai out. Cole walked in and paused.
“What the heck happened here?” Cole asked out loud, staring at the smashed carcass.
Kai sighed dramatically, rubbing his temples. “Can you clean that while I make us some food?” He asked, and Cole nodded as Kai grabbed the box of dino nuggets out of the fridges. He grabbed a plate out of one of the cabinets. He set the plate down and began putting a bunch of nuggets on the plate.
Cole finished cleaning up and Kai opened the microwave and was met with the sharp smell of smoke. Cole and Kai coughed as Kai quickly shut the microwave.
“What did they do while we were all gone?! This is why you can’t leave these two alone in a highly flammable monastery that’s already been burned down three times already,” Kai grumbled as the air finally cleared.
Cole sighed, preheating the oven instead. “Doesn’t matter, the oven makes dino nuggets crispy anyways,” he said, finding the positives. Jay and Lloyd were going to be in some serious trouble with Zane and Nya once the two got back.
