Well, I really hope more reviews start coming, I'm trying to make this story adventurous and romantic

Chapter 2

Everything around them felt different, good different, but neither of them could find the answer as to what could cause this difference. Sure, there really wasn't anything different, but the way the air felt, just was weird. The sky still blazing with the Aurora of red, orange, and pink, set off the glow around them, it made them feel at peace.

"Dojo, have you ever seen such a sight as beautiful as this?" Kimiko wondered her eyes gazing at the sky lovingly.

"Yes. It's very rare actually, and the colors change a bit, almost like the northern lights." The forty foot dragon answered.

As soon as Dojo had made that comment, the sky changed, but it looked natural, and beautiful. The glow of red, orange, and pink, changed to a glow of blue, green, and purple. If anyone could describe it, they would say it looked as though it were shimmering, and you could only stare. That's it. Stare in wonder, trying to figure out what made the Aurora change like that, and where the shimmering came from, because it wasn't the stars that caused it.

"I've never seen anything like it, well, like you said, the northern lights are close to what this is, but…" Raimundo trailed off, his mind thinking of the sky.

"Some say there's a tool that lets you control it, but it's just a myth." Dojo said.

"Kinda obvious Dojo, no one can control the sky." Clay said.

"Oh, my friend! You can control the moon though, with the Lunar Locket!" Omi stated.

"Yeah, but something like this… it's just—" Kimiko started, but couldn't find the words.

"Omi's got a point though Clay. After all the things we've seen I wouldn't be surprised if we could control the sky." Raimundo said.

"Sorry Raimundo, but it's been proved wrong, but some also say there's a different world up there." Dojo said.

The four gazed some more as the sun started to set, and the colors changed to a misty pink, yellow, and blue. Soon, the sun had set, and took the Aurora with it.

Kimiko stopped looking at the sky, and changed her gaze towards the Brazilian they've all come to know and love. Raimundo looked at her too, and flashed him a smile, as she too smiled. Then Kim blushed and turned away, they'd been smiling at each other far too long.

"So, kids, why don't you get some rest, our flight may be a while, and you have a long day a head of you." Dojo stated.

They all nodded, and found a comfy position on the forty foot dragon. Soon, all four were falling into a vast sleep.

—

"Wake up! Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay! It's time to get up!" Omi yelled as he summoned his power of water and woke his three sleeping friends.

Raimundo woke with a jolt. "Omi! I was having the best dream! My soccer team just one the World Cup, (A/n: Is that soccer? Oh well) and I had all kinds of pretty girls around me!" Raimundo whined, annoyed that he didn't get to finish his dream.

Kimiko made a 'hrmph' sound as Raimundo explained his dream. "Yeah well, he woke me up from my great dream too!" she fibbed. "My friends and I we at a mall and we had all kinds of guys flirting with us!" she lied even more.

"Well, right as Omi woke me up one of the cuties was about to kiss me!"

"Yeah, well, one of the guys had already kissed me!"

The two glared at each other for quite some time until Kimiko growled and turned her head sharply away from the Brazilian boy.

"Ok, now that that lil' feud is over, where in tarnation are we?" the cowboy asked, his words heavily coated with his Texan accent, like caramel and chocolate mixing together smoothly.

"We're in Sydney, Australia everybody!" Dojo said in a fake accent.

"This is awesome! This place has some of the most deadly animals in the world!" Raimundo said as he looked around.

"Deadliest….? Animals….? Here…." Omi stuttered. "Please don't have deadly squirrels!" he prayed to himself.

"Alright… Which way do we go?" Kimiko asked, pushing her now straightened black hair behind her ear.

Dojo thought for a second. "This way."

The green dragon slithered on for a bit.

"Clay do you have any water left?" Kimiko breathed.

Clay took out his water canister. "Nope…"

"Omi?" Kim pleaded.

Omi sighed, for he too wanted water. "I am sorry my friend, I do not have any water left."

Kimiko gulped, trying to make her mouth moist. "Rai…?" she coughed.

"Yeah?" he asked, even though he knew what she wanted.

"Water?" she pleaded.

"For?"

"You have some left?! Please! I need water!" She begged.

"I do too." He said.

"Raimundo please." She begged more, putting her hands together and shaking them slightly.

Raimundo rolled his eyes and sighed. "Here." He held out his water canister. "Just don't drink it all."

"Thank you!" She said quickly, as if him letting her have his water saved the world. Then she snatched the water from his hands and took a big gulp.

"Girl! I said don't drink it all!" Raimundo smirked.

"Sorry…" Kimiko huffed. "I needed water—" then she added in a mumble "Because of his stupid heat."

"It's fine…" Raimundo sighed as he took back his water, smiling slightly.

Clay chuckled.

"What?" Kimiko and Raimundo asked in unison.

"Nothing, just nothing."

The two gave him a questioning look, but let it go, for Dojo had just hollered something.

The dragon had been yelling and waving his arms in the air like a maniac screaming "IN HERE! IN HERE!" and pointing crazily to a small building in the middle of no where.

"I wonder who lives there… maybe they're most kind, and they'll supply us with more water!" Omi smiled, and looked at the shack with hope streaming through his body.

"Maybe….hopefully…" Kim mumbled as she looked up at the house, determination in her eyes. "But they have what we're looking for, right Dojo?"

Dojo sniffed and thought. "Yep." He answered.

"Well then," Raimundo started. "Let's go get it."

"Right behind you partner." Clay said.

"What Clay said." Omi added.

The four monks made their way to the run-down building, the air around them dry and hot, and very uncomfortable for them.

Worst of all, there was no shack. They were all becoming delusional from dehydration and the immense heat. Raimundo barely had any water left, but enough for everyone to have a sip to moisten their droughty mouths.

"H-has that shack gotten any closer?" Clay breathed. Obviously he was tired and hungry.

Kimiko, her eyelids dropping from exhaustion, and lack of water, managed to answer "No—" She sat on the sand and lied down. "But this bed is really soft... I think I'll take a—"

Before the Japanese heroine could finish her sentence, she fell into her own little dream land, forgetting she was in the middle of the Outback in Australia.

Raimundo sighed, his weariness showing also, but being Shoku Warrior, and leader of the group, he hoisted the Dragon of Fire up, holding her bridal style. "We have to find civilization, we all need water badly, and a bed to sleep in." he groaned as he shifted Kimiko a bit. "Let's go."

Omi was tuckered out more than anybody. He only had his dark red temple robes on, adding heat to his chest. And then he had on his black pants, not good.

Clay, even though he too was tired, carried Omi, as he followed the determined Dragon of Wind.

"Daddy! Daddy! There are a few people in the Outback! I saw the mates through my spy glass! They look as though they're exhausted! Help them daddy please!" little Lachlan and Labie Smith cried to their father.

These two were one hundred percent Australian twins.

Labie, she was a smart one, yes she was. Beautiful almond brown hair, with natural highlights of blonde from sun she had, and her skin was perfectly tanned, not too dark, not too light, and defiantly not burnt, and her eyes, oh! She got the color from her mother, a magnificent shade of violet that stunned everyone.

This girl spent her days sitting on the porch of her home, studying, or reading, and always came home with choicest grades, but just because she was a book worm, didn't mean she never has fun.

Labie does everything she can with her brother Lachlan, she has rock climbing races with him, chases geckos and lizards with him, just about anything Lachlan asks her to participate in, she does.

Lachlan, he was the one who always wanted to have fun. His light brown hair that glistened in the sunlight, also having nicely tanned skin, and his mother's eyes. You could obviously tell that him and Labie were twins.

Sure he didn't mind school, he keeps his grades to a good average, and normally got studying help from his sister. But this kid was the type who would beg his father to take him into the Outback to try to catch, or get pictures of the wondrous animals that lived in his country, and he always had adventure on the mind.

Lachlan would have his father take him and some friends (who had parents permission) into the Outback, and try to get as close as they can to animals, but never too close. His father would always stand in the front, protecting them for if they were ever attacked, and if they were, his dad would take the onrush and then they all knew the drill, they always practiced before they left. Run and scream for help.

"Oh, there is now?" their calm father asked as he put the last shackle on the rooftop that he'd been repairing.

"Yes daddy!" Labie started. "The mates look like they need food and some water! Daddy! They're probably dehydrated! It was so hot today!"

"Hm… alright, get your mother and we're going to get them, be ready in five minutes understand?" Mr. Smith said.

The twins nodded, making 'yes' noises, and then running of to get ready for a ride out, and to get their mother.

'It's been a while since we've had strangers wandering around in the Outback… I wonder what they're here for—' Mr. Smith thought to himself as he rubbed his chin in thought.

But he decided to shrug the thought off and get the camels ready for a ride. So he climbed down from the rooftop, washed his hands with the hose, and walked over to where he too good care of the family came. He gave it some water and some camel food, then hooked up the harness and connected the carriage to it.

"Hun! Are you going to save those mates over in the Outback?" Mrs. Smith called as she hurried Lachlan and Labie over to the cart, helping them in, and then getting in herself.

Mr. Smith nodded as he made sure everything was securely fastened.

"Aw! You're a good man hun!" Mrs. Smith said as she kissed her husband on the cheek.

"Ew!" Labie and Lachlan moaned as they turned away from their parents with disgusted faces.

Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith chuckled at their children's behavior as Mr. Smith got in.

"Ready?"

"Ready."

"Go on boy! To the Outback! Go!" Mr. Smith said as he blew a special whistle, and the camel started out to the Outback.

Ok, I didn't want to hurt the camel, and neither does Mr. Smith, so I came up with that? No animal abuse. I'd hate to ever know anybody who commits that crime.

Anyway, here's the second chapter! I really hope you liked it! Please review! Useful criticism is accepted! -
