Lica's POV
Booorrriiiinnnnggggg I was sitting in class, listening to the teacher go off about s something very boooorrrriiiinnnnggg. I hate this class… My best subject and my teacher has to be an old windbag! Man, nothing interesting ever happens here….
The door just opened and look who's here, the principal. But who's that with him? A guy? A cute guy? He looks about 15; I wonder where he's from? Brazil?
"Okay, class. We have a new student, Raimundo Pedrosa."
Raimundo…Raimundo, where have I heard that name before?? That name, I felt like I'd heard that name before…
"Raimundo, please choose a seat." The principal urged him.
Oh my goodness, there's an empty seat right next to me…Is he gonna sit here?? I hate this uniform! It's so…so… unflattering.

Raimundo's POV
'Great, just great…I have to get separated from the rest of the Xiaolin Dragons in this school…WITH A UNIFORM! This tie is murder! Grrr…Relax, no using of powers now. I just entered this classroom and where am I supposed to sit?' I walked through the class, ignoring looks from the other students.
'Hey, there's a seat, next to that girl…'
"Hi! I'm Lica, welcome to the class." She said
"Hi…"
She turned her attention back to the board and I tried to listen to the teacher but my mind kept drifting back to the Temple, ' wonder if any new Shen Gong Wu were activated.' I just shouted something in Spanish that would make any teacher go nuts and right now everyone's looking at me like I'm a freak in a glass case.
But Lica's looking at me like she's about to laugh but she doesn't. Everyone just stopped staring and Lica just tossed me a note. I look at her and she just grins.
"Good one…" the note read.
"You understand Spanish" I said to her.
Lica opened her mouth and just gave her introduction, in perfect Spanish! Maybe this school's not gonna be so bad after all…
A/N: Sorry for not elaborating but I'm lazy…P Hehe…Soon, Raimundo and Lica began hanging out with each other. They developed a friendship, no, something deeper…Lica couldn't shake the fact that she felt that she knew him from somewhere before…
Then, one afternoon, when Raimundo came over to her house for their weekly monster movie marathon…

Raimundo's POV
'Well, another week of watching monster movies till your brain turns on mush….Ahhh, good times, good times…Here I am, carrying a stack of DVDs down to Lica's family room just like last week.'
I set the DVDs on the table near the TV and waited for Lica to return with the popcorn. I leaned back against the couch and closed my eyes…
"Hey, Raimundo!" Lica said from up the stairs…
I opened my eyes and saw her walking down, carrying a big bowl of popcorn and glasses of soda. I've been talking to the other dragons lately. Its been pretty boring without me there to make fun of Omi, infect Kimiko's PDA with viruses and cut Clay's ropes into strips…
Lica let out a scream and I saw her fall. The popcorn and soda flew out of her hands and it's flying straight towards me! I shielded myself with the hands and braced for the sticky, buttery feeling but…
"STOP!" Lica said. I saw a blue flash of light from her hand and it stopped the popcorn in its tracks.
"How? Wha? Why?" I said to her. SHE HAS POWERS?!?!?!

Lica's POV
'Oh no!' I just used my force field! My powers! In front of Raimundo!!! I was born with these special abilities. I could make force fields and play with the elements, but I wasn't all that strong…Mom told me never to reveal my secret but Raimundo just saw me use the force field…'
'What am I supposed to do???' Raimundo just stared at the blue sphere, with the popcorn and soda in it. I lowered it down and sat on the couch next to him…
"I can explain…" I said to him, he just looked at me and stood up.
"I have something I want you to see."
He stood in front of me and said "Wind!" I felt a strong wind blow through the room, even if the window was closed and a bright flash. I had to shut my eyes and when I opened them, Raimundo was wearing a type of uniform.
He has powers too?? I thought.

Raimundo's POV
Okay, now I know she has powers and she knows I have magical powers…What now?
"Uh…Rai…I also have another talent." She said and with that, she ran up the walls and jumped onto the couch near where I was sitting and back flipped onto the floor, "Ta dah!" She said with a giggle.
Well, I'm not sure if being a gymnast was a talent but…She just flew into the air!
"Wow…hey! How come you never do any of that stuff in school, during gym?"
"Uh…I just don't wanna…"She answered, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable…
"Aw, c'mon. You gotta show off a little…" I urged her
"Fine…But you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone about my powers…" She said to me, with a smile.
"Okay, as long as you make the same promise to me…"
She nodded and asked, "Hey, Rai. What's the dealy with your powers?"
I wasn't sure if I should tell her but she was my friend…

So, Raimundo told Lica all about the Shen Gong Wu and the Xiaolin and about Jack Spicer. Lica listened eagerly, she was fascinated by all this.
In turn, she told him about her powers, how she'd kept them secret ever since she'd hurt someone when her powers went out of control…
By the time Raimundo had to go home, they knew all about the other's secrets and they made a promise to never spill it to anyone…
"Okay, bye! See ya at school!" Raimundo shouted as he rushed down the street.
"Bye!" Lica shouted right back. She leaned against the door frame and sighed. It was nice to finally meet someone who understood her abilities.
