 (On the Destiny's Bounty the boys are sleeping. Meanwhile, Elenora and Nya are walking on the deck.)

Nya: (Looks at the ship) This ship really needs a fix. New sails, rope, better steering wheel, plumping, electricity. The list goes on.

Elenora: (Play's with her bracelet) Um-hmm.

Nya: (Notices Elenora playing with her bracelet) So Elenora, you never really told me why that bracelet is so important to you.

Elenora: I've had it since I was 10. 

Nya: Who gave it to you?

Elenora: Someone who was very close to me.

Nya: And now they aren't?

Elenora: It's...complicated. (Nya nods in understanding)

(Elenora and Nya keep walking until Nya brings something up)

Nya: So, how's your reading with your Spell Book?

Elenora: I haven't read it yet. 

Nya: (Confused) But I've seen you reading it-

(A loud noise comes from the boys' bedroom)

Elenora: It seems the boys are up now.

Nya: (Giggles) Come on. 

Wu: Evil doesn't sleep and neither should you! (He bangs a cymbal.)

(The four Ninja groan.)

Wu: In order to reach your full potential, we must greet each day as an opportunity.

Kai: (Gets up) Okay okay, we're up. But if you want us to reach our full potential, shouldn't we at least get a full night of rest? (yawn)

Cole: (Stretching his back) You call that a rest? I think my back had more lumps than the mattress.

Jay: We were up so late, talking about how cool it is to have a new headquarters, I guess we lost track of time. Since the Serpentine burned down our monastery, I'm just glad we have a roof over our head... (He starts to brush his teeth and spits out some dirt that replaced his toothpaste.)

Zane: What is our lesson today, Sensei? Mastering the strike of the Scorpion? Or perhaps the grace of— (the ground break underneath him)

(Elenora and Nya come into the room and see Zane)

Elenora: I knew it was only a matter of time until something fell apart. 

Wu: I think today's lesson would be chores.

Ninja: Chores?!

Cole: Ninja fight, Sensei. They do not clean.

Wu: In order to respect ourselves, we must respect our new home and where we are from. And this place is a long way from becoming a ninja headquarters. I expect things to be spotless when I return. And put your backs into it. (Bangs the cymbal again and walks out of the room)

Kai: (Grumbling) This place is gonna take forever to clean and fix up.

Nya: Well, while you boys clean up this place. Elenora and I are leaving to decorate our room. 

Cole: Wait, but-

(Nya shuts the door behind her)

Cole: (Groans) Seriously?
