Mia, Emily, and Kevin are working out in a training room inside the Shiba House.  Mike walks in carrying his skateboard.  Mike:  Hey guys!  Mike enters the training room.  Mike:  Guess what?!  Emily, Kevin, and Mia stopped working out and walk over towards Mike.  Kevin:  You overslept.  Again.  Mike:  Yeah, well that's nothing new.  Emily:  So what's up?  Mike:  Ji just told me he wanted us to take the day off.  Emily:  Really?  Mia:  This isn't a joke?  Kevin:  But, we just started our workout.  Kevin gives a kick to the punching bag.  Mike:  Dude, you're telling me you're going to disobey a direct order from your Samurai mentor?  Kevin:  Well.  I guess not.  Mia started to pace.  Mia:  What to do?  I could shop for shoes that are designed for fighting monsters, or I can catch a flick.  Emily:  But it's such a beautiful day.  It be a shame to stay coop up inside.  Mike:  And I could teach you how to shred.  This is not what Emily had in mind.  Emily:  Well, I was thinking Rainbow's End.  I've never been on a rollercoaster before.  Mike:  What?  Never?  Emily explains there were not amusement parks where she is from.  Mia, Kevin, and Mike are all for going to Rainbow's End.  The four teens started heading out the door when Jayden walks in.  Kevin tells him what they are doing and Jayden replies to have fun.  Kevin is surprised that Jayden is not coming with them.  Jayden tells them he has something he needs to do and walks away.  Mia tells Emily and Kevin that Jayden is so mysterious sometimes.  Mike pokes his head back in and tells them our day off is a wasting.  Mike isn't worried about Jayden - he can take care of himself.  Emily and Mia grin and head out the door.  Kevin is a little more concern.  He takes one more look back, wondering what Jayden is doing and then heads out as well.  Inside a room, Jayden is holding a small wooden box, with a beetle craved in the center of it.  Jayden opens the box and inside is the beetle disc.  Jayden takes the disc out and stares at it.

Emily and Mike are very excited to be at Rainbow's End.  Kevin is more concern about why Jayden didn't come.  Mia points out Jayden has lot on his mind.  Emily suggests they bring back some cotton candy to cheer him up.  Kevin suddenly stops.  He thinks this is a test - a samurai never takes a day off.  Mia stops him as Kevin turns around to head back.  She tells him to stop being paranoid.  Mike adds if he wanted us to stay, he would have said so.  Mia doesn't think Jayden would take a day off until the last Nighlok is defeated.  Kevin realizes his friends are right and decides to stay for awhile.  Mike leads the charge towards the rides.  The four teens race along, passing by Bulk & Spike who are the cotton candy stand.  Bulk tells Spike in the samurai's life you have to balance the serious stuff with a little fun.  Bulk digs into his cotton candy which Spike to laugh and point.
