Ninjago: Zane’s Christmas Wish

Written for: @ninjagofluffytrashbin  - Merry Christmas, and here’s my Secret Santa gift for you!!

“Eggnog, anyone?”

Twinkling lights filled the room, ambient Christmas music played softly, and each member of the team was decked out in holiday spirit. It was the perfect mood for eggnog, but maybe not from Cole.

Cole, who was wearing a sparkly Santa hat, rolled his eyes at the grumbling crowd as he held two glasses of creamy drink. “I promise, straight out of the carton. I didn’t touch it up at all.”

After that remark, people began to accept drinks. Lloyd passed one to his mom and Ronin, only glancing at Dareth who was snoozing on the couch. Jay and Nya took theirs and clinked them together with a smile. Borg turned his down, but Kai and Skylor took theirs with a grin, only to quickly hide them behind their backs and sneak some brown liquid into each of theirs. Cole raised his eyebrows towards Zane, but he politely declined.

“What does eggnog taste like?” the familiar warm voice only Zane could hear asked. “I think it tastes like creamy milk,” Zane responded. “But I have never tried it. It’s very bad for my body.”

PIXAL giggled, making Zane smile. He loved that sound. “I’m sure it’s bad for their bodies too.”

It didn’t seem like it as the team all downed their eggnog quickly. Jay gagged instantly. “COLE! WHY DOES MY EGGNOG TASTE LIKE CREAMY SOUP??”

The room burst into laughter, jolting Dareth awake, but also making the room more joyful than thought possible. “Oh, you got that one?” Cole called from the kitchen.

This year was the first annual Christmas party in the new headquarters for the ninja, the Temple of Airjitzu. They could finally host a fifteen foot tree in the main floor of the temple, which was covered from head to toe with fruit-colored tinsel (one for each ninja color), multicolored lights, and ornaments of all shapes and sizes. On the top of the tree sat Master Wu’s hat, mainly in memory of his spirit, since he was still lost in time.

Zane loved Christmas because not only was the environment constantly gorgeous to look at, but all of his friends just seemed happier. It was also PIXAL’s favorite holiday because she was curious about all the traditions and wonders of the season. It was always a joy to explain some little detail of Christmas to the curious mind of his love. However, the one thing he desired most was unobtainable for him. I was only a damper on his spirit though, he did already have everything he wanted smiling at him in his head.

Jay was still spitting and gagging from his pranked drink while the room was still chuckling at his silly reaction. “I’ll go get you some water, Jay,” Nya patted his leg before walking through the doorway to the kitchen. Unfortunately, she bumped into Cole coming back out with two glasses of eggnog at the door. They both froze when their shoulders collided, both of their faces going pale.

A collected gasp rose from the room, then everyone went silent. Even Jay swallowed his disgustingly flavored spit to gawk at what just happened.

Cole and Nya stared at each other before slowly looking up at the small green plant hanging above them.

“I hate mistletoe,” both Cole and Nya said under their breath in unison.

They awkwardly looked over at the group, who were all awkwardly looking back at them. “Uh,” Cole spoke out-loud, then tried to take a step away from the doorway.

A cry rose from the party forcing Cole to freeze. “That’s the mistletoe, Cole!” Kai snickered next to Skylor. “It’s sacred! Remember when I got stuck under there with Jay?”

“Let’s not bring that up ever again,” Jay wheezed on the couch. His cheeks were crimson red.

Dareth began to dig into his pocket. “I’ve gotta get a picture of this,” he muttered. Ronin and Lloyd nodded, each with a grin.

“I love mistletoe,” PIXAL whispered to Zane. He hesitated before agreeing.

Cole and Nya slowly looked back at each other. “This is embarrassing,” she whispered.

“You’re telling me,” he whispered back. Without trying, he felt his eyes drag towards Jay.

“I’m sorry dude, but it’s the Sacred Mistletoe,” he called to Jay.

“I hate you!”

“I know.”

Dareth was getting his camera pulled up on his phone. “Crap,” Nya hissed when she saw him. Without hesitation she grabbed the front of Cole’s sweater and pulled him down into a kiss.

The room burst into cheers. Nya turned away and vanished into the kitchen. Cole dropped both the eggnogs he was holding.

“Oh, uh-“ Cole jerked away from his trance. “Still getting used to my new hands. I’ll uh, clean that up.” He backtracked into the kitchen to grab a rag and a broom.

Dareth stuffed his phone back into his pocket disappointed in missing the best photo while all the others were back to excited buzzing. Zane sat in silence with a smile, mostly because he was watching Jay try to silently hold back his resentment for Cole.

Nya stormed out of the kitchen with a cup of water; her face was still crimson. Kai gave her a quick whistle, but she had other plans. She put the water down on the table and then pulled Jay into a long passionate kiss.

“OH GROSS!” Kai gagged as he spat out his sip of eggnog. “Give me a warning before you do that!” The room was once again filled with laughter as Nya sat back down and took a quick swig of water. “Sorry about that,” Nya told Jay as she handed him the water. For a moment he stared at her without moving, his entire face now crimson red.

Finally he took the glass. “Are you sorry about the thing with Cole because it’s totally cool now,” Jay answered her. She giggled and then leaned her head on his chest. Zane could tell from her expression and the expression of Cole as he walked back in after cleaning the mess, that they both enjoyed the kiss but will never admit it.

Cole sank into the seat next to Zane. “Never use footage of that kiss, you hear?” Cole muttered into Zane’s ear.

The robot smiled sourly. “Of course.”

The black haired ninja noticed Zane’s expression. “What’s wrong buddy?”

Zane paused, his eyes glued to the mistletoe. “Nothing,” he responded, which was a lie. He could never say his desire out-loud because it was silly and impossible. “Just a thought.”

Cole nodded then took a sip of his eggnog.

“Go under the mistletoe.”

PIXAL was quiet for so long, he almost flinched when she talked. “But-“ Zane began, worried that PIXAL might of misunderstood the meaning of the mistletoe.

“Trust me. Go stand under it.”

He didn’t want to argue with his love, so he slowly stood. Nobody really acknowledged him until he came to a stop under the doorway.

“Uh,” Ronin called to the nindroid. “Who are you wanting a kiss from in this room?”

“Nobody,” Zane answered simply. “I’m curious myself why PIXAL wanted me to come stand under here.”

“Stand still for a second,” PIXAL instructed. Zane tightened his gears, but he was still confused.

“Seriously, Zane-“ Cole started, but he was interrupted with a flash of blue light coming from Zane’s eyes. One second, the doorway was empty, the next, it was filled with a blue hologram.

“Oh my,” PIXAL spoke, but instead of inside Zane’s mind, she was now being formed as a life-size holographic image using Zane’s eyes. “I seem to of run into you under the mistletoe.”

Zane was speechless. The room was quiet, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Kai and Skylor exchange a smile as they looked on.

“PIXAL, you are brilliant,” Zane grinned at his love. He reached out his hand and she instantly took it, as if she knew he was going to reach out to her. “And I love you so much.”

The female robot smiled back. “I love you as well. Now we can uphold the Sacred Mistletoe like Cole and Nya, and Jay and Kai.”

Zane laughed, followed by the room. As the holiday cheer filled the space of family and friends, PIXAL leaned over and kissed Zane, granting his only Christmas wish.

That definitely reminds me of Zane telling Pixal to stop working during the night and sleep with him.

“Having a hard time getting any work done”

That was my favorite part in season 8

“I’m proud of you”

Aww that is just cute!

I couldnt find this gif anywhere so i decided to download it

ANYWHO, WU AND PIXAL BONDING TIME IS CANON

Oh, this is too great!!! I love this!!

I just had to reblog this since it gets me thinking about what might have happened to Pixal in the merge!

She would have gone bad because of something or someone (or even getting controlled) and not knowing who she truly was.

I feel like this would link to what someone mentioned recently in a post about how Jay would have amnesia and how it might as well have happened to Pixal and she might have got memory loss as well

This would link to one of the theories I had about whereabouts Pixal might be after the merge

''You either die as an hero,or live long enough to see yourself becoming a villian''

Pixane headcanon you might like:

Zane was built to protect at all costs, and Pixal was built to assist. Pixal assists Zane in protecting others by being samurai x (also to stop him from being reckless as well) and Zane protects Pixal so she can assist others without putting herself in danger.

I love that headcanon,

I remember doing a similar headcanon in one of my books on Wattpad and it was a headcanon where...

Zane was built to protect those who cannot protect themselves and Pixal was built to assist in protecting as well after she became Samurai X
