Ever Been to Rio?

Surprisingly, it was mid-day at the Xiaolin Temple, and allwas eerily quiet.

Omi was out chopping firewood, far away enough not to disturb the peace; Clay had used the Golden Tiger Claws to visit an 'all you can eat buffet' in Texas; Kimiko was quietly sorting out her PDA, and Raimundo was taking a break in his home town, Rio.

Kimiko was sorting out some messages on her PDA, after her inbox had filled up in the blink of an eye, curtesy of her friend Keiko. She was deleting countless e-mails and what not, and the amount of it, surprised even her. Her sky blue eyes flicked down the screen, and she paused her sorting for a moment when she noticed the name 'Raimundo Pedrosa". He had sent it as a distraction one afternoon. The mischievous boy had snuck up behind Kimiko while she had been reading it, and had dumped a bucket of soapy water, right over her head.

She had been none to pleased, but presently, her thoughts turned towards the prankster himself. The familiar clash of a soccer ball and the Brazilian boys' knee, head, or shin, was no longer resonating through-out the central court-yard, making the atmosphere of the temple, somewhat dull. No one was there to remind her how much of a 'computer nerd', or 'technology addict' she was, which made the day feel incomplete.

She brushed the thought away. She refused to believe that Raimundo Pedrosa's antics had become a part of her daily routine.

With that thought, a 'ping' rang from her PDA, signifying that she had a new message.

She fumbled with a few buttons, and pen, and she read the e-mail.

It was from Raimundo, and it read something like this:

Hey Kim

Missing me yet, or are u to busy planning your marriage to your PDA?

Heh, but seriously, I wish I could've brought u guys down here, you'd definitely love the views. Maybe I should take you down here sometime Kim, but on second thought, my bro's might think u were my girlfriend or something.

Kim's cheeks took on a crimson hue at that remark.

Anyway, tell the guys I said hi, and keep Omi away from the sugar. Trust me; the monk is no different to Jack Spicer when he's on a sugar high.

Rai

Rolling her eyes, she continued on deleting some messages until a small lizard like creature, slithered in. Dojo of course, though he was in an agitated manner right now, which meant a new Shen Gong Wu had revealed itself.

"Common kid, we're goin to Rio. The key of Hao has been activated"

Kimiko quickly discarded her PDA, and followed Dojo out to find Omi so they could go fetch Clay.

Looks like they were going to Rio; if Raimundo wanted it or not.
