The Lego Ninjago Series 2

The Benefit of Grief

(In the desert, Kai, Blackmagic, Zane, and Dareth are walking exhaustedly.)

Dareth: So ... you're not ... thirsty at all?

Zane: No. Being a Nindroid is not without benefits.

Dareth: I wish I were a Nindroid.

(Kai spots a van driving by.)

Kai: Hey. Hey! Hey wait! Wait wait wait! Stop, stop please! Help! Help!

Blackmagic: HELP!

(The van stops and reverses to the ninja. Zane cloaks himself with his hologram.)

Sally: Hi, guys! Whatchu doing way out here?

Kai: We were, uh, camping. And we got a little lost.

Sally: Ah. How come you're dressed up like the ninja?

Dareth: We were, uh, costume camping. It's a thing. Lots of people are doing it. Anyway, yeah, we could really use a ride.

Sally: Sure! Hop in.

Kai: Thanks.

(They board the van. Sally turns on the music, and Sally's song begins to play.)

Dareth: So, you don't recognize these guys?

Sally: No, why? Should I?

Blackmagic: He's just joking. Hehahaha. (She nudges Dareth.)

Kai: Uh, so, are you moving or something, Sally?

Sally: Yep! All the way to Ninjago City! I'm gonna be a singer. I'm gonna be like, on the radio, and TV, and in concerts and stuff.

Zane: Is this one of your songs?

Sally: It sure is! What do you think?

(The song plays "Dig deep inside, and you will feel: an inner strength, an inner steel." Zane notices the lyrics.)

Dareth: Wow. You wrote that? That's great!

Sally: Thanks!

Zane: But humans are not made of steel.

Sally: Of course not, silly! It's a song, to make people feel better! Songs can help people come together and find their way. That's what I want my music to do. Got Inspired Lilly, wrote and sing a song.

Zane: That is a worthy cause.

Kai: Yeah! It's great, Sally.

Sally: Oh, you guys are sweet.

Blackmagic: You said you got Inspired Lilly, write and sing a song.

Sally: When she did Musical performances I got inspired do to write and sing songs. I hope to meet her too.

Zane: And who is that? (He points at a photo.)

Sally: Oh, no! (She starts crying and lets go of the wheel.)

Dareth: Oh! Look out!

Kai: Sally? What are you doing?

Zane: She has released the wheel.

Blackmagic: I know, Zane! Do something! Grab it! Grab it!

(Zane pulls the brakes and the van stops. Sally bursts out of the van sobbing.)

Dareth: What was that about?

Zane: I do not know. (He approaches her.) Sally, what is wrong?

Sally: I - I ran away. From - home ...

Kai: Why?

Sally: Because - I wanted to go to Ninjago City. But, my dad said I'm not old enough. So - I went anyway, even though I knew it would hurt his feelings. Because I'm selfish, selfish, SELFISH! (Her voice echoes through the desert.) I - I have all these songs inside of me, and - and - and some - sometimes I feel like I'm just gonna pop! So, I - I kind of, sort of, borrowed his van without asking.
