After finally catching up to her, Nelson asks a bunch questions to Antonia about the giant cobras, but she tells him to keep pedaling. They see P.I.X.A.L in her Samurai X Mech, fighting off the cobras. Nelson wants to help her, but Antonia has faith Samurai X will defeat them. She successfully defeats the cobras, Nelson and Antonia then continue cycling.

They stop at an alley for their lunch break. Antonia tells him that Ninjago City can pretty crazy, being attacked by many enemies. Nelson pulls out his sandwich, only to find it was burned by a fireball. So Antonia offers him another sandwich, he accepts the offer. Continuing their talk, Antonia tells him that they may not be ninja, but everyone has to do their part.

After their break, they continue delivering newspapers. They avoid getting burned by an Elemental Cobra and jumped over a wall of fire with a ramp. They then see Clutch Powers falling from the sky. They approach him, he tells them that the Ninja are trapped and need help at a pyramid. He then was taken to a hospital, Antonia tells Nelson that it wasn’t their problem to help the Ninja. Nelson reminds her that the news never sleeps, which is the Paperboys motto. Antonia then points him the way to the monastery, but he has to go through Route 23, which she says he shouldn’t go. She was about to pedal off, but Nelson uses Antonia’s words about everyone doing their part. She agrees to lead him to the monastery, telling him to stick close.

They reach Route 23, which is a street that has a giant hole. Antonia asks him if he was sure to continue. An Elemental Cobra approaches, Nelson panics and thinking it wasn’t a good idea after all, but Antonia tells him to do what she does. She uses a road as ramp and successfully lands on the other side. She tells Nelson to do the same. As the cobra approaches closer, Nelson goes for it and makes it too.

Fanon
The two aren’t that popular due to them being supporting characters who appear a few times through out the series to help the Ninja. However, a decent amount of people do enjoy Antonia and Nelson’s friendship. People in the fandom would always see the two as platonic relationship. Some even view the two as having a sibling/family bond. They have a few fanarts and fan fictions, sometimes alongside other Ninjago characters like Unagami, depicting he three as a friend group.
