Disclaimer:I Do not own Xiaolin Showdown
A/N:I am making this Chapter where Clay Alyune and Jack(Who comes in later in the chapter) go up a mountain to get a herd of the temples cattle to a Doctor after a fumigation inhalation by the cattle a little fluffy so I can try to get a little bit of slash out of my system I'm just warning you now so get ready for a little Alyune/Clay/Jack Male Bonding.
It had been a few weeks after they had arrived back to the temple and Alyune started to feel a little closer toward his friends including Clay which was awkward being that he had never felt that way about the boy before.Clay in return had never felt that close to his friend Alyune neither. But there was something that they had in common: They Both Were Xiaolin Warrior and Were In Love With A Girl. And they could never change that but they could be friends and be together in spirit that way they would be together forever. But all that would change.
That Morning Master Fung called the Monks to the Temple's Farm for a meeting. "Young Monks I have some troubling news it seems during our Fumigation of our Temple that our Cows have inhaled the chemicals and have fallen ill to them and I need them to be taken to a Cattle Doctor in town so they can be nursed back to health." "I'll do it Master Fung I have handled Cattle Sickness back in Texas and I can do it here as well."Clay said with enthusiasm "I am very proud of your enthusiasm Clay but the town lies over a mountain in which the cattle can graze but the mountain is also too dangerous to go it alone so I wish for you to take Alyune his experience of mountains on the Planet of Lupine is very well useful as he is also trained in Medical needs so he can help you if you are in trouble; Alyune will you accept this mission?" "In the name of X,hal I shall take this Mission as if it were a quest and accept it."Alyune Said Admorably "Very well Clay and Alyune I shall arrange for the horses to be prepared and I want you to be prepared for whatever comes your way on the mountain." And he left into the Temple followed by Clay and Alyune.
After the three left the rest of the monks started laughing,excluding Omi because he is not sure what they are laughing about. "I KNEW HE WOULD TAKE THE OFFER"Raimundo howled with laughter "You were right Rai and the way Alyune said he would take the job was just icing on the cake for me"Kimiko said while Glaring at Arianna who she refused to speak to or acknowledge after the Quahog mission "Yeah I can't believe that after all this time they will finally have some alone time for them to work things out in their relationship"Arianna said while laughing "How much do you want to bet that they will go all the way?"Vivaley said to the monks while holding out a small box "Put me down for 100 Yuans"Arianna said "100 Yuans for me"Raimundo said to her "I'll put down 200 Yuans for that"Kimiko Replied
"Well I am putting down 100 Yuans as well"Vivaley said as she collected the bet money "But wait how will we know if they did it or not?"Arianna said "DOY the Mind Reader Conch."Raimundo Replied.
After that Clay and Alyune came out in their Cowboy Gear and got outside to get their horses. After that they got their cattle and took off for the mountain and the town. And behind Clay and Alyune's backs Dojo Suureptitiously placed 300 Yuans in the bet box.
When they got on the mountain they felt so alive they saw a lot of Colour and scenery they had momentarily forgot their mission and felt free but a moment later they got back on track and continued
Meanwhile Jack Spicer was flying on his Heli-pack trying
To get to town for the Anime Film Festival but his Heli-pack was going out because of low fuel and obsolete parts. And while the Heli-pack was going out again he saw Clay and Alyune and the cattle and he thought he was dreaming "This has got to be a hallucination or I must be asleep." Jack Thought and he went down for a closer look and his eyes were correct and all that so he sort of broke that silence for them "Well,Well,Well if it isn't Eenis and Jack out for a romantic stroll on Brokeback Mountain how cute"Jack said Mockingly to the two boys whom looked up to see Jack Spicer "Why you no good little varmit I should've known you would have come up here."Clay said "Clay Bailey I am confused I thought your name was Clay not Eenis so which is it?"Alyune said in confusion "It's Clay Bailey Alyune, and Jack you have no business to be here and why are you here anyway?" "I was on my way to the Anime Film Festival and I saw you two lovers strutting the mountain trail so I thought you were just finding a special place for you guys to get together." "How many times do I have to tell y'all me and Alyune are not lovers just because we kissed does not mean we are lovers Do-You-Understand?" "Yes I heard you so I think you two are lovers because you two always hang out together and are always around eachother so I thought that so yeah." "You're wrong Jack Spicer I and Clay Bailey are not in love as I am to be married to Arashi in a month and Clay has his eyes set on Kimiko so I find it very hard to believe that we would be lovers in any way."Alyune said in a matter-of-fact tone Just then the Heli-pack started to act weird and then it died completely and Jack fell onto the Ground "HEY WAIT!!" so they stopped and looked at their enemy "What Spicer?" "My Heli-pack gave out and I was wondering can I come along with you guys it's a long way back to my house and it will take me days to just walk back." They thought about it and they were just also contemplating on just leaving him there but that's not what the right thing was so they decided even thought they would regret it later "All right Jack you can come just no complaining and don't try to steal anything varmit theres no Shen Gong Wu here." "Okay." Jack said as he got on Alyune's horse and rode along with him.
After a while they decided to quit for the night and set up camp. "Hey who is going to help me with the tent?"Clay asked in which Alyune replied "The tent situatin is all taken care off I have brought my Lupine tent it can hold up to 100 people at a time." Then Alyune threw a capsule to the ground then it exploded and there appeared before them was what looked like a Teepee "Well go on in I am sure you will be surprised." So they entered and inside was a whole house it had 50 bathrooms 4 kitchens several gamerooms and a T.V. the size of the brooklyn bridge and 1 bedroom "Whoa Sweet!"Jack said as he placed his broken helipack down on the coathanger and looked around "Well I'll be tanned like a mule tanned 8 ways to Sunday this is a really great place Alyune" "Why thank you Clay Bailey I have tried to make this the best part of the mission." Then Alyune went to the kitchen to make some dinner and Jack plopped down to watch T.V. and Clay just set down his Bindle and looked around the whole tent and saw a lot of interesting things but when Alyune called them to dinner he was about to be more interested. For dinner there was a lot of Earth foods and for some reason wine so the three men chowed down on everything except the wine and then went to bed
Later that night the bed the boys were sleeping on was kind of small so they had to share it and they were unaware of the following events while they were asleep Clay flung an arm around Alyune and Alyune put an arm around Jack then Jack rolled over and placed his arm on Alyune and kissed him on the forehead and on the lips then Clay nipped Alyune's neck which in turn made him shudder "Oh X,hal"He muttered sleepily and it sort of goes on like that for quite awhile
(A/N:Got a little Brokeback Mountain in there didn't I well I managed to see Brokeback Mountain last Sunday on HBO and to me it was a little surprising that guy didn't die the way I thought but I was close wasn't i?)
"Aww I never knew you cared."Jack said to Alyune the next morning waking him up and when he saw his arm around Jack he yelped in terror and it caused him to sweat profusely and that's what woke Clay up and Clay removed his arm from Alyune and shook off the sweat from his arm "Oh man Alyune you are a pretty bad sweater"Jack said to him in which he replied "If my arm was around you why was your arm around me Jack Spicer?" that stopped Jack in his tirade of name calling "Well we were all pretty hammered." "Really if memory serves me right none of us drank the wine" "He's more right than a crooked mule skinner on a hitching post." Clay said in this answer "Well if that's the case then why were we in an embrace?" "Well Jack Spicer we were asleep and science has proven that people were known to do involuntary things in their sleep I was dreaming about my future wife Arashi at the altar and I took her in my arm and she took me in hers and we kissed." "Well I had this dream where me and Kimiko were holding eachother and I nipped her neck playfully.""Well in my dream I was on my date with Lisa Zemo and we were making out and all that" "Well there you go we were all involved in romantic situations in all our dreams and we have some ramification in the real world so we are completely not queer if that is what Jack spicer is thinking." "Well I am glad I am not queer" "Well I think that what happened in the middle of the night even if we didn't know what happened we probably should tell anyone as of right now this never happened." "Right Clay Bailey this had never occurred." "Right I'll keep quiet if you guys do." "Deal" then they shook on it.
You probably think that this is the end right wrong in fact more of that happened on the journey
They had stopped on the trail again to take a bathroom break and Alyune had to go real bad and so did Jack so the each went behind a tree and relieved themselves and while they did that they started to talk "So Al why are you here on our planet?" "Oh that is a sad tale you see my planet is actually the Mars Moon of Deimos but we call it Lupine and it is coinhabited by three species My people the Lupins the Animals and the Xenomorfs a primitive people who are cruel and indifferent to my people and to all others as they believe that they are the superior race and my people believe that we are the rational race so we divided the planet in two but the Xenomorfs sought to unite us under one order in 2005 and they plan to slaugther any who stand against them and my people will not stand for it so they declared war against them and the Xenomorfs declared war against us and that started nightly air raids on our cities by Xenomorf monsterous forces and they sent me and my future wife along with many others of our people to this planet to help us flourish and prosper as a way to protect the Lupine way of life and it was my older brother who said the idea he said 'Get Alyune out of the capital city and off the planet I will find someone to take him in' and that is how I am here and my brother and I parted ways on the way to earth he promised to write me to let me know how the war is coming along and if it is safe to go home but I have not had a letter in 6 months from him,but enough about me how about you?"
"Well ever since Wuya left me for Chase Young I had a hard time making my way but then I met Lisa and the rest of the Heylin Dragons and I fell in love with Lisa and we hit it off ever since and my parents are never really their for me so they never noticed that their were extra people living with them because they are either drunk or off on a vacation somewhere then there is my dad he usually goes off on me whenever there is something broken or I don't make his coffee the way he likes it so he either beats me or throws the coffee in my face and tells me to make it again and he usually calls me a loser and tells me I'll never amount to anything and that I'll end up in a gutter somewhere and I should end my suffering and kill myself right then and there and he wants to be there and watch me die but I am much more sensible than that I want to make myself he best so I want to take over the earth and ally myself with Chase Young that was the case until he put me in the worlds suckiest show that's where I met Lisa nad the rest of the gang then we escaped and that's why I am who I am today and even though my dad beats me I just want the world to know that there is someone who will change all that when I take over."
When Jack finished Alyune was shocked it never occurred to him that Jack was troubled even though he seemed troubled he never knew how troubled Jack was to him Jack was lonely and his friends and lover who were there for him were not providing the comfort he needed when they were done they walked back to their horses and they talked along the way "Jack Spicer you should tell your story to Clay Bailey he is understanding he will hear you out." "Hey just because I told you my life story doesn't mean I'm an open book." "I know you wish not to talk to anyone but Clay Bailey will not tell anyone not even the monks I shall make sure he doesn't." "Well okay but you hold up that to yourself." As soon as they got back to their horses Jack told Clay his life story as soon as he was done Clay was also shocked and he felt for Jack at that moment and he said "You know Spicer I think you will be okay with us if you want to come with us?" "Yeah right just because I had a bad childhood doesn't mean I wish to come with you losers but I will kinda be your friends but just from time to time you know when I feel like it." Clay and Alyune just rolled their eyes and said "Riiiight" and continued.
They saw the cattle were starting to get weaker and the horses were getting more and more restless so they stopped for the night near the town only one more night together.
As Alyune set up the Teepee-Tent again Clay and Jack set up the firepit and when the dinner was finished they went to the fire pit and roasted Smores and sang songs (A/N:Sorry guys but this is the way I thought of when basically going camping so bear with me) "You were right Clay Bailey this marshmallow and Chocolate covered and flavoured Graham snack is delicious you humans are all right." "I told you you would like it little buddy." And he playfully punched him in the shoulder in which Alyune reciprocated "My God are you guys always on eachother?" Jack asked the two boys "No we are not always on eachother if I was on him I could suffocate him."Alyune Replied "Okay heres a song describing you're guys' relationship through my eyes." "Spicer if you make a Brokeback Mountain Joke I will kick-your-ass." But Jack sang the song anyway
"Well there once were two cowboys
on a mountain trip.Herding sick cows to town.
Then they got closer together and their company
Turned their frowns upside down. Then one day
They swallowed their virginity and had Cowboy gay sex
Cowboy Gay Sex!
SODOMY! SODOMY! SODOMY!...sodomy."
When Jack Finished the song Clay and Alyune looked at Jack as though they were to kill him "Jack I am gonna KILL YOU FOR SINGING THAT YAHHHHHH" Clay said charging towards Jack with all the force of a tsunami that could kill at least 100,000 people and Jack did his famous girly shriek and ran behind Alyune who moved out of the way and allowed Clay who tackled Jack to the ground and fell to the ground and Clay screamed at the boy "WHY YOU NO GOOD LOWER PIECE OF COWPIE THAT I HAD EVER STEPPED ON HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF ME AND ALYUNE WITH THAT SONG I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!" "AAAAHHHHH!!" "CLAY BAILEY STOP!!!!" and Clay stopped and Clay said to the alien boy "Alyune this boy decided to…"Clay said with a start "I know what he did but that is not the way to solve your problems but you must calm down." Clay then grudgingly put him down and looked at Jack as though he were a snake. "Jack Spicer sit down and we will finish our dessert" so they did and while they were finishing their sixth helpings Jack absentmindedly placed his arm on Alyune which Alyune didn't notice until he went up to move around and saw Jack's arm on his shoulder
When they went to bed that night Clay,still pretty mad at Jack for singing that song went to lay on the couch while Alyune and Jack were laying in that bed and Alyune snuggled onto a pillow and Jack did like-wise and they sort of had one of those combined dreams you sometimes get when you sleep and think about someone they were in the empty Chemestry lab and they were in an agreeable conversation "Jack Spicer why did you place your hand on my shoulder? "Well after I pretty much poured my heart into yours I sorta felt a bond for you like a friend feels for another friend and I see you as one of mine." "Well what about Clay Bailey he has something for you…deep down." "Well I wanted to talk to him to tell him that he's really a good person and when he challenges me to a showdown I don't know why but he just lets me take a lead for some reason." "Maybe he likes you Jack Spicer and he just does not wish to divulge so much." "Maybe that or something else." "What else could it be?" "Maybe he wants me." "That is crazy he loves Kimiko!" "I know but maybe your friend is gay or something." "Maybe but Clay Bailey would tell me if he was homosexual or not." "That's why he won't tell you." "Oh come on Jack Spicer be logical you state you are an evil boy genius so use the genius part of your title." "Ok lets get off that subject and maybe you know we could be friends?" "Sure lets be friends Jack Spicer." "Hmm we still have 20 minutes of this dream left you wanna do some karaoke while we wait." "Of Course Jack Spicer what do you wish to sing?" "How about "Chemicals React" by Aly & A.J.?" "But isn't that what Raimundo States "A Chick Song"?" "It is but for some reason I can't get it out of my head." "Of course I will sing that if it will alleviate that song clog."
Then the Chemestry Lab changed into a Karaoke Stage and there were 20,000 audience members but they picked up their micro phones and began to sing
A/N:Try to Imagine Jack and Alyune trying to sing Chemicals React but in Aly & A.J.'s Voices and in the band clothes of those guys from that band Gravitation
"
You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm walking on broken glass
Like my world's spinnin' in slow motion
And you're moving too fast
Were you right?
Was I wrong?
Were you weak?
Was I strong?
Yeah!!
Both of us broken.. caught in a moment
We live 'til we loved
Til we hurt
And we jumped, yeah!
But the planets all aligned, when you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react...
The chemicals react
You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm drifting out to the sea
Like the tides pulling me in deeper
Making it harder to.. breathe
We can not deny, how we feel inside
WE CANNOT DENY!!
Were you right?
Was I wrong?
Were you weak?
Was I strong?
Yeah!!
Both of us broken.. caught in a moment
We live 'til we loved
Til we hurt
And we jumped, yeah!
But the planets all aligned, when you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react...
The chemicals react
Kaleidoscope of colors
Turning hopes on fire, sun is burning
Shining down on both of us
Don't let us lose it (don't let us lose it...)
Were you right?
Was I wrong?
Were you weak?
Was I strong?
Yeah!!
Both of us broken.. caught in a moment
We live 'til we loved
Til we hurt
And we jumped, yeah! (yeah, yeah, yeah)
We lived
We loved
We hurt
We jumped
We're right
We're wrong
We're weak
We're strong
We... lived to love..
But the planets all aligned, when you looked into my eyes
And just like that
Watched the chemicals react (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And just like that
The chemicals react (yeah, yeah, yeah)
The chemicals react
"
when the song was over and the audience cheered they felt cathartic and then the dream ended then they woke up.
The next morning when Clay called them to Breakfast the two walked down in a happy mood and they saw Clay was in a happy mood too apparently the previous nights events were forgotten and the cowboy just said sit down and lets talk and while they were eating "So y'all have gotten friendly towards eachother over the past 2 days." "I suppose we have Clay Bailey I suppose we have." "Yeah maybe you know we should all see eachother again sometime." "CAN WE JACK SPICER?" "Sure…but just from time to time you know when I feel like it." "Okay pardner but you know Alyune has taken a real liking to you and I was thinking maybe we could do this again sometime." "I suppose if there is a reason and if I can manage it." "Sure Pardner what you say."
After breakfast they hitched up their horses and rode off with the cattle and finally they made it to town and saw the cattle doctor Clay told them of the fumigation a few weeks back and the doctor said "Thank you for telling me of the fumigation and I assure you that the cattle will be nursed back to health and I will return the cattle to you." Then they left the cattle in the care of the doctor.
Outside the doctors office they were talking "A parting of the ways I think we must do then Jack Spicer." "I guess we may still be friends between you and me and Clay but in the monks eyes were still enemies so lets play that card untill we meet again." "Okay pardner you take care of yourself." "Don't worry with Lisa I'll be okay I'll get by later losers." Then Jack started his Heli-pack and was about to take off when Alyune ran up to him and hugged him "Hey not fair." Jack said but returned the hug then took off "Well I guess we gotta go back now." "I suppose,You think Jack Spicer will hold his friendship?" "Yep I think so but lets go back we gotta long way." Alyune nodded and he and Clay went shoulder and shoulder and horse and horse
When they reached the temple they were greeted by Master Fung and he was proud of their accomplishment and then they went to their room to change into their monk clothes when they were bombarded by a questioning Omi "CLAY ALYUNE I MISSED YOU SO MUCH SO TELL ME WHAT WAS IT LIKE HERDING CATTLE AND GOING UP THE MOUNTAINS?!?" AND THEY ANSWERED IN THE FOLLOWING WAY "It was fun."
I am not going ot update for a while until summers end but please R&R
