"I'm going to kick his ass." I said, while looking at my watch. So, you're probably wondering who I'm talking about, right? Well, his name is Carter Witt, and he's the biggest jackass in this world, and the next.

"And, just who's ass are you going to kick, Terra-chan?" Sadly, he's also the only person I would ever consider my friend. I spun around, only to see Carter, with that same goofy looking grin on his face.

"Your's, damn it! You told me to meet you here, at 'three o-clock sharp!' now tell me… what time is it now?"

His grin got wider, "It's party time!" I just stood there, my right eye twitching. After a minute of him just staring at me, I sighed, already exasperated, and said;

"…let's just sit down and get some coffee, before I strangle you to death." Yes, I know I'm a very negative person. But, I was already having a bad day, I'm not sure why, but I've been really off lately… and I just couldn't shake this weird feeling I had…

We walked in to the small café, I turned left a sat in the nearest seat, right next to the window. Carter sat in the chair opposite of me. A few minute's later, I noticed that Carter was being very… un-Carter like. I mean, he hasn't said one sexual remark to anyone… in fact he hadn't said anything at all. 'He's holding something back… I'll have to work it out of him…' I took in a deep breath and sat back in my chair. If there was one thing I knew about Carter, it's that he was definitely smarter then he acted.

"So, Carter, any particular reason you made me come all the way to Paris? And just to get some information?"

His head snapped back to look at me, and for a second I could see nervousness in his eyes… but it was quickly replaced with silly playfulness. "Well, too look at all the pretty ladies, of course!" I rolled my eye's and nodded sarcastically.

'Your lying Carter….' and that little fact just made the feeling in my gut worsen. He must've known that I didn't believe him, because he suddenly looked down, eye's once again filled with nervousness.

"Actually, I really wanted to meet with you in person… because I feel I should tell you face to face…" I didn't like the sound of this.

"Tell me what, Car--" Before I could finish my sentence, a young waitress walked up to our table,

"Hello! My name is Taylor, is there anything I can get for you sir?" The girl was obviously American, that or she did a good job at hiding her accent.

'How about a nice cup of screw you Taylor! Damn you, can't you see we're talking?!' This always happened. Carter was an attractive guy, but geez, did girls always have to swoon over him!? I folded my arms, waiting for them to get done,

"Just a black coffee for me, and… do you want anything Terra-chan?" He smiled at me. The waitress slowly turned to me, her all-to-preppy smile becoming strained.

"Same," I simply said. She nodded and scribbled down the order on a small note pad.

"So… two black coffee's coming up!" She winked at Carter and walked away. I slowly turned my head back to Carter,

"I really don't see how so many women can be insane enough to be attracted to you." He shrugged,

"Don't be like that Terra-chan! I'm not the only one that attracts attention!" He pointed behind me. I looked over my shoulder, and saw a young teenage boy--maybe sixteen--staring at me. But as soon as he saw me look at him he turned away with a blush. My eye's narrowed, and I turned back around to glare at the table.

"Well, he's insane to…" Carter sighed. We sat in silence for a few seconds. Me, tearing apart a napkin, and him, trying to get the courage to say what he needed to say.

"Terra…" I looked up, Carter was in his nervous state again. I didn't like seeing him this way. I would never admit it, but he was like a brother to me. "about the information you need." He paused. After awhile, I was getting tired of waiting.

"Yes?" I urged. I was getting restless. Carter was never like this, unless there was some sort of trouble.

"Terra… it's in the Xiaolin Temple." That hit me like a slap in the face. It took me a minute, but I recovered,

"…O-okay… well, that's not a problem. I'll--"

"Terra…" he looked me in the eye. His bright green eye's where shimmering with sadness. "Chase Young and Hannibal are back." I froze.

And that was the moment my true journey began.
