Lloyderello

Lloyderello is an episode of the Chronicles of Ninjago

## Plot

Mrs. Beakley is preparing for a holiday fro housekeeping and she entrusts Lloyd to do all the work until she comes back.

While scrubbing the toilet, Lloyd falls asleep imagines himself as Cinderella, going by the name of Lloyderello, and having to put up with his bossy stepfather (Doji) and stepbrothers (Mungus and Killow). One day, Lloyderello learns that Princess Harumi is having a royal ball at his castle, but his stepfather and brothers disallow him from attending, since he is wearing filthy attire. However, when Lloyderello attempts to go to the ball with his family with a newly fashioned set of robes, his stepbrothers laugh at his idea and Killow tears the robes into rags, before leaving Lloyderello behind.

A distraught Kaiarello sadly explains his incident to Bumblebee. There, he is met by his Wizard Godfather (Merlok), who has come to help. He transforms Bumblebee into a Volkswagen Beetle. The Wizard Godfather also gives Lloyderello golden robes and a golden sword, but warns him that the magic will wear off at 3 AM sharp.

At the castle, Lloyderello finally gets his chance to dance with the princess only to have to rush out at the stroke of 3 AM, losing his sword in the process. Harumi set out to find the bearer of the sword. She finds that the sword doesn't suit neither Mungus nor Killow. Ultimately, it is revealed that Lloyderello is the true bearer of the sword.

Before anything could happen though, Lloyd is woken up by Duckworth who cleaned the toilets after he fell asleep.

## Transcript

(At McDuck Manor, Mrs. Beakley is seen with some luggages and Lloyd holds a mop)

Mrs. Beakley: I'm off for holiday, Lloyd. And I want you to take my place as the housekeeper until I come back. Capisce?

Lloyd: \*sigh\* Yes, Mrs. Beakley

Beakley: I'm off now. (leaves) Ta-ta!

Lloyd: (melancholy) Ta-ta

(Cut to: The bathroom. Lloyd is uneasy with the scrubbing)

Lloyd: This is the worst job ever! how is it that I have to stick with toilet duties for the day? It's not like I'll turn into Cinderella by any chance

(Cut to: Lloyd's imagination. He imagines himself as Lloyderello, wearing old rags as clothes, mopping the floor)

Killow: Lloyderello! (shoves a blanket into his face) Make my bed!

Mungus: Lloyderello! Mungus order you to shine tusks!

Lloyderello: \*shrugs\* Alright, alright. I'll do it. (he tries to get on with the jobs but Doji, his evil "stepfather", gets in the way)

Doji: Lloyderello! (pointing at a speck of dust on the floor) You missed a spot!

Lloyd: Got it stepfather.

(Cut to: The dining room. Lloyd pours juice for Doji. The bell rings)

Doji: Lloyderello. Be a good boy and answer the door.

(Lloyd answers the door. It is Zazu, dressed as a Postman)

Zazu: Is this the Doji residence? Very well. I have come to announce that Princess Harumi is hosting a royal ball at the palace tomorrow evening. All are required to wear formal attire.

Killow: Oh yeah! A party!

Mungus: Mungus make the celebrating: Happy, happy, happy!

Lloyd: The Princess is hosting a ball? I've got to be there!

Doji: As if I will let you go, boy! No princess would ever want to marry a scullery man. Now, chop the fire wood!

(The night arrives. Killow, Mungus and Doji prepare to leave for the ball. Lloyd catches up dressed in green)

Doji: And what is this?! I thought I told you you are not coming!

Lloyd: Look! The messenger said you can only go if you're wearing something like this.

Killow: Ha! Robes or not, you're still just our slave!

Mungus: Yeah! Me agree! (he and Killow beat Lloyd up, damaging his robes while Doji watches laughing maniacally)

(Cut up: Bumblebee tending to Lloyd's wounds)

Lloyd: There you have it, Bee. They ruined my robes and I don't even have a mode of transportation.

(a bright light appears. It then flashes into... MERLOK)

Merlok: I AM MERLOK! Oh, dear! I mean your Wizard Godfather!

Lloyd: Wow!
