Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon has the skills of a ninja. The capabilities of a dragon. The expertise of an oni.
So why has he fallen for [Name]?
Oh, not romantically. Lloyd has quite literally fallen for [Name].

The head cheerleader sits on the stairs outside the school, rubbing her eye with her pointer finger. Her dad forgot her again. Not surprising. She is the oldest daughter. She is meant to be able to do all these things by herself.
But he promised. He promised that he would pick her up after her cheer training. And she believed him. And how foolish she was.
Does she take the bus home now? Or does she call him? Or she would walk and have a bit of tine to herself? Yeah, walking seems like the best option.
She sighs, pulling her backpack onto her shoulder and standing up. She wipes the dust off her butt, thankful that she fought for joggers to be a part of the cheer team uniform. At first the headteacher would not allow it, but when [Name] brought it up with the cheerleading committee of New Ninjago City, he had no choice but to allow and fund for a much more improved uniform.
The [colour] lover girl puts on her headphones, adjusting them slightly so that they do not hurt the new piercings that she got a few weeks ago.
Now, she walks home. All by herself. Because her father broke his promise. Oh well, what can you do? Cry probably.

The green ninja flips with ease, landing on the building without a single sound. He looks around, his eyes flickering to red. Dragon eyes are useful to notice strange things happening in New Ninjago City. His eyes rake through the buildings, before hitting the ground.
A woman and two kids.
A police officer.
A hot dog vendor.
His crush.
A bike rider.
A bus-wait. The green ninja looks back, seeing [Name] walking the streets of New Ninjago city. His eyes narrow. Is she by herself?
He goes to step to the left, completely missing his step. Why did he not remember the fact that he is, well…was, on top of a building. And now, he is falling. Great.
He can’t even save himself. He’s going to land in a harsh position and it will hurt his back. Not for a long time though, his oni genes have regeneration and healing perks.
How did he even let himself get distracted by [Name]? Seriously?! Yes, she is very pretty but that should not interfere with his ninja work! But she is pretty. And kind. And he just fell off a building after seeing her. This can’t be good.
Wait, how long has he been falling for-
The green ninja lets out a shocked yelp as he lands on top of a pile of rubbish. He grimaces, turning body so that he is face up. Maybe this is his fate. Falling for her whilst literally falling for her.
"Yo, Lloyd," the green ninja blinks, moving his arm as he presses down on his communication device which is snuggly in his ear. He hums, blinking as he is looking upwards. The sky is pretty. The same way [Name] is pretty. But she is way more pretty than the sky is. When he sees her in school and she smiles at him, it feels like nothing else matters at that moment. "Can you get some snacks after patrol?"
Seriously?
"Sure," he whispers, taking his hands off the communication device. Just after his back stops hurting.
