Meanwhile at the hospital, the Stone Family all stand around and welcome their newest family member into their lives after Miyuu has given birth to her. Haru has already gave her name and it is Amanda Sakura Stone aka Amelia Stone. The whole crew gathered together to celebrate her arrival and beginning in Ninjago and on planet Earth. After the gang returns back home from the hospital, they start to show Amelia around her new monastery and introduce her to most of the rooms from upstairs to downstairs at their house.
As they continue to keep showing Amelia more and more things and bedrooms and treasures that they have, Haru and Cloe take a second to bring Amelia into the dojo where he wants to train her and Cloe and teach them how to fight and defend themselves. He even brings her over the area to the family's weapons of swords, bows & arrows, bo staffs, crossbows, and spheres too.
Afterwards, Haru, Cloe, and the family show their new relatives around the monastery and introduce her to her new bedroom. The room is pink with a rocking dragon and a beautifully decorated crib with a pillow & blanket and stuffed panda bear and toy sword inside. Amelia was happily giggling once she saw her new room and the gang began making their way in to put her in bed and tuck her in too. As the crew put baby Amelia in her crib and give her kisses on the cheek say goodnight to her, Haru asks Cloe to stay with Amelia for a little bit to give her some company and cousin time too.
Cloe agreed and shook her head, "yes", as Haru and the others take their leave and head straight out the door of Amelia's room. After the adults leave and let Cloe and Amelia have time alone with each other, Cloe then peeks over the crib at Amelia and glances into her eyes with rapture as she takes her baby cousin's hand and envelopes it with hers.
"Hello little cousin, you're a warrior just like me.
Bet you're thinking it is a pretty cool thing to be
But soon you'll see that the world expects a lot from you
They'll say that there are things heroes should and shouldn't do
But you and me, we, we know better."
3 YEARS LATER ....
3 years later in June of 1994, cousins Amelia, now 3, and Cloe, now 6, are both getting to do their first training with Haru and are about to learn how to master their elemental abilities because he has told the girls that they may have inherited some of their family members' powers when they were born. So without further ado, Amelia and Cloe decide to have their uncle and father teach them different martial arts and special fighting skills for when they might battle bad guys and villains.
When Amelia was still 5 months old, she used to watch billions of martial arts movies all the time in her family's living room on the flatscreen TV and has decided what her new dream will be one day: She's planning on becoming a sensei and opening up her own dojo. She has told Cloe, Haru, Mei Ling, her parents, and grandmother about the idea and they said that it wonderful!
But, Megumi even suggested that when she gets that happy ending she's wishing and working really hard for, she wants Amelia to find a sweet and handsome older or younger husband to marry so that she can get some help with the place and also have kids to teach them how to fight and use their elemental powers, but Mamoru had to tell his mother time and time again that she needs to stop pressuring the girls to settle down and get pregnant when they get older because he wants Amelia and Cloe to focus on their training and learning how to protect themselves, which their grandma gratefully understands.
In the dojo, Haru is teaching Amelia and Cloe how kick, punch, and throw by using wood and the training dummies as their subjects of opponents. Not only is Haru showing his nieces special fighting skills and moves, he is also going to teach them what it truly means to be a hero and save people and the universe from danger. He wants Amy and Cloe to be prepared to go out in the real world on their own and fight to protect those who can't defend themselves.
As the two cousins are sparring with each other in the training room, they decide to stop for a moment and take a long break as Amelia glances at her uncle's breeches that he's wearing and walks right up to him to ask a question.
"Um excuse me, Uncle Haru." Amelia replied.
"Yes, young niece?" Haru responded back.
"What are you wearing?"
"Oh well these are pants and they are called breeches, my sweetheart."
"How come you, Father, and Grandpa Yonji are the only ones that wear them and not me, Cloe, Aunt Mei Ling, Mother, Grandma Megumi, and Grandmother Geisha?"
"Well I don't know, hun. It may be because they're still stuck in their traditional feminine roles and don't want to accept that women can now wear the same clothes men can."
"So if Mother, Aunt Miyuu, Grandmother Megumi, Grandma Geisha, me, and Amelia only wear dresses and kimonos all the time, wouldn't that mean we're girly girls, Father?" Cloe intervened and asked Haru.
He then gave her a confused look and started getting weird feelings about what Cloe actually meant.
"My daughter and my niece?"
"Yes?"
"Can you please explain to what a "girly girl" is?"
"Well Uncle, a girly girl is a woman who dresses and acts very feminine of only doing things her own sex does and doesn't do." Amelia explains to Haru.
"Oh! Okay then. Uh, what do you call a girl who acts like a boy?"
"Father, a girl who acts like a guy is called a tomboy." Cloe says.
"What is a "tomboy", my two young ladies?" Haru asks Amelia and Cloe.
"A tomboy is a girl who does things that boys do and portrays masculine behaviors and mannerisms the other gender has like wearing men's clothes and going hunting." Cloe explains.
"Oh. So, you're telling me that in whatever way the gender acts or conducts themselves, it's how they are?"
"Why yes, Uncle, yes it does."
"Um.....okay then. Well, why don't we continue on with the rest of our training so we can see if your elements have kicked in yet."
"Sure!"
"Alrighty! This will be a piece of serpentine scales."
Haru and the girls get back to their training as they start working on to see if Amelia and Cloe will get their elemental powers or not. We'll have to wait and see.
