Jamie looked over at Drago. Watching the way he affectionately scratched the Spiders head, just behind his eyes, and
the way Gary leaned into his touch, making a chittering noise Jamie took to be the giant-spider equivalent of a purr.
It was almost cute...in an insane, terrifying way.
"So, what do you intend to do, now that that you've been reunited with your little pet?" Bai Tsa asked
"Take him with us, duh..."Drago said. Jamie stiffened
"Whoa, hold on just minute, we can't take him with us!"
"Why not?" Drago asked, standing and putting his hands on his hips.
"He's 8 feet tall, He'd freak people out, He freaks ME out, he eats people-"
"That's debatable,"Drago said, "I don't see any bodies in here.
Jamie gave him a look, "He tried to EAT me," she said
"Well...Uh..." Drago said, not really having a response to that. She had a point. Jamie crossed her arms.
"Come on Jamie,"Drago said, "He won't do it again. I can't just leave him here..."
Jamie felt herself beginning to weaken, "What if he eats my cats? Or Hsi Wu's dog?"
"I'd kill him," Hsi Wu muttered. Drago ignored him, "He won't I swear!"
Jamie tried, failingly, to hold her resolve, "And just how do we go back to the hotel, or even the cannery without someone
noticing an 8 foot spider?"
"Uh...We could...Um..." Drago said, thinking hard, grasping at straws. Tchang Zu and the other demons seemed to find
his behavior amusing. Shendu, however, seemed to be on Drago's side for once.
"I could turn him into something smaller with my talisman."
Drago gaped at his father, eyes wide with confusion, and more than slight traces of gratitude. He then looked at Jamie
expectantly.
"I- I don't think- what I mean is-...Oh! What's the use?" she said, giving in, "Alright, we'll take him home with us...But he
has to live in the basement!" she said quickly.
"We have a basement?" Hsi Wu asked raising an eyebrow.
"Jamie and I found it when we were doing the laundry last Thursday,"Tso Lan explained.
"Oh...So, how do we get out of here?"
Gary stood his full height and made a screechy, chittering sound. Shendu nodded
"Brilliant. Thank you Gary."
"What'd he say?" Jamie asked.
"He says he's been down here so long he knows all the tunnles by both his hearts. He's going to lead us out."
"Well then, let's get going," Xiao Fung said, "I can't stand being in down here much longer..."
Izzy sat in Dai Gui's lap, playing with his earlobe affectionatly as they waited for the others to return. Dai Gui sat indian
style on the ground, smiling to himself. Izzy gazed up at him lovingly
"Dai Dai," she said sitting up and leaning against his chest, remember back in the Aztec city and I was sick?"
"Yes..." he said, remembering, upleasantly, about having to hold her hair while she vomited.
"Well, I found out why when I visited to the healer," she said snuggling deeper into his chest.
"Why?" he asked.
Izzy gave him a grin, "I'll tell you when we get out of this cave..."
Dai Gui made a light growling noise, "Why can't you tell me now?"
"You'll see, Dai Dai..." she said sitting up and kissing his Jaw as footsteps approached.
"We're gone 10 minutes and you're practicaly groping each other?" Came Bai Tsa's voice from the darkness. Izzy beamed
"Did you find Jamie?"
"Oh, we found more than just Jamie..."
Strikemaster Ice, DJ Fist and MC Cobra looked bored. The sun was already making it's decent.
"Ice...I know D-man and the others can look after theyselves and everything, but I'm startin' to get a little worried, Dawg..."
Ice sat up, " they have been gone a long time...And I don't think I can sleep on the beach again..."
DJ Fist nodded. Suddenly he perked his head up.
"Yo, DJ, You hear somethin'?" Ice asked.
He nodded, pointing at the mouth of the cave. They leapt to their feet, seeing something large and black looming up
out of the caves depths.
"What in the name of Stuffed crust?!" Ice yelled as its shape became clear. A giant Spider crawled forward, the demons,
andJamie walking along behind him, and on his back was...
"D-man?" Cobra asked staring up at Drago, who was perched on the spiders back
"Who else would it be?" Drago asked as he leapt down, "Spring Heeled Jack?"
Ice was about to open his mouth but Drago waved his hand dismissively, "Nevermind. Guys, I want you to meet Gary."
He reached up and petted the Zhi Zhu fondly.
The Ice gang exchanged looks
"Uh...Hi?"
Izzy giggled at their faces as Dai Gui set her down from riding on his back. She stared up at the sun, closing her eyes
and letting it's warnth seep into her skin" Mmm...feels so good to warmed by the sun..." she said.
Dai Gui shrugged, "Are you going to tell Dai Gui why you were vomiting or not?" He'd been waiting for her to tell him since
she'd mentioned it in the cave.
Izzy beamed,"Alright, Dai Dai..." She turned to everybody, "I have something very important to say...About Why I sick this
morning."
" What is it? You have the Flu?" Bai Tsa guessed, rolling her eyes.
Izzy laughed, "No Silly! I'm pregnant!"
The demons jaw's dropped. The color rushed out of Bia Tsa's face.
"Oh...is that all?"
Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she maoned, fainting. Hsi Wu caught her as she collpased
" Sister Bai?"
"Hmm," Tchang Zu said taking her from ,"Normaly it's Jamie who faints..."
