Chapter 3

Marlo

Sudenly ground started to shake violantly and in couple of seconds we were sitting on horses and 3 miles away from us were finish line. Pff, piece of cake.

I allowed Jack have head start and waited. Almost all of my team mates (except Clay - he was a cowboy, and he knew that if I grew up in Texas, I have horse riding in blood) were yelling at me to move, but I didn't. I waited until Jacky was halfway there and started to gallop. When goth-boy finally noticed that I'm really near him (like, really, really), he used his Shen Gong Wu. Sudenly there were eight Jack's plus one, original, on horse. I smirked. It would be fun!

"Oh, boys!" I started looking at them innocently. "Could you help me and get out of the way?" I blinked couple of times. One of Jack's clones, the one looking like donkey, quickly shoved the rest of clones out of the way.

"Thank you, handsome!" I bleved a kiss at him and he nearly fainted. Ah, this donkey-looking clones.

I smirked and fastened my horse. Jack was almost at the finish line when I passed him and won. Ground started to shake again and we were back in front of saloon.

"You're good" said Jack, looking at me with wicked smirk. He slowly walked up to me. "But you were just lucky."

"Of course, Jacky!" I said sarcastically, taking one step forward. He was almost head taller than me and now I could feel his breath on my forehead. "Because ya always win, don't ya?"

"No," Goth-boy smiled, leaning a bit. His lips were inches apart from my right ear. "I always get what I want."

I shivered a bit. God, he was good! And a tease. Yeah, he definitely was a tease.

Jack took one step back and shouted something like "See ya, Xiaolin dorks!", before he once again looked at me.

"See ya, Mary." He winked and took of.

"See ya, Jacky." I murmured to myself. I was almost looking forward to seeing him.

"What was that?" Bobo shouted.

"What was what?" I asked him, turning around.

"You two were... flirting!" He screamed.

"And?"

"And... He's the enemy!"

"So?"

"He's Jack!"

"So?"

"Ewww...!"

"Oh come on, Rai, no one really cares what you think!" Surprisingly, I didn't say that.

It was Kimiko.

"It's kinda sweet that Marlo digs someone."

"I don't dig him!" I blushed a bit. "I... I just think that... He's... Well..."

"Oh, you totally dig him!" Kimiko smirked. "And Rai, shut up."

I must say, Kimi was a good ally.

"Please God, kill me!" I prayed, but as always, God didn't listen to me.

"Oh, you look cute in this dress, Marlo!" Kimi squeaked, jumping like a little ball. "Hot pink suits you!"

"Stop yellin' and help me take this thin' off!" I groaned, trying to rip the dress off. "And remind me, why ya wanted me to try this on?"

"Because" she smiled knowingly "Jack would love to see you in this dress!"

"Every male on the planet would, because I look like whore!" I shouted and looked at her threateningly. "And just so you know, I don't care what Jack thinks about my clothes! And, by the way, he's goth, he likes black, not pink."

"You always complain, don't you?"

"Yeah, it comes naturally" I murmured, praying that some big asteroid would just fall on top of me and kill me. "My mother says that... Auch!"

"Sorry" Kimiko pinned material in couple of places. "But I want it to fit you perfectly."

"I see..." I looked at her like she was an alien and earned deadly look from Japanese girl. "Remind me, why I need a dress?"

"Because I'm organizing Christmas Ball tonight, and you must look presentable enough for me to not feel embarrassed."

"Hey, I always look presentable!"

"Of course..."

"I hate ya, ya know?"

"Yeah, yeah, just stand still..."

"Kimiko, how..." Bobo walked in and looked up from his untied tie. "O my God! What did you do to Marlo?"

"Shut up, Bobo, or I will kill ya" I treated him, but he just smirked. I didn't look frightening in pink dress.

"What would you do? Sing 'Barbie Girl' for three hours?"

"Oh, ya didn't say that, did ya?"

"Quiet, both of you!" Kimi yelled and looked at Bobo. "What do you want?"

"Can you help me with these?" he pointed the tie and looked at her innocently.

Kimiko sighed and walked up to him. She tied it with silence and patted Bobo's chest when she finished.

"Okay, guys, I understand you got your 'moment', but Kimi, come here and end your work, so I can change back to my normal clothes" I groaned and looked at them again. "And please. would ya stop staring at each other like that? If ya keep it up, I'm gonna barf!"

"Can I change back now?"

"NO!"

"Why not?"

"The Ball will start in, like, an hour!"

"So?"

"'So' I must do your hair and make up!"

"Ya just love to torture me, don't ya?"

"Yeah, kind of."
