Jade's Discovery

            The next day, Jade awakens to discovery she has woken up late once again.

Jade: "Damn, I got to get ready for the trip."

Jackie: "Are you awake Jade were almost ready to leave."

Jade: "Yeah Jackie I'm almost done just have to brush my teeth and get changed."

Jackie: "O.K. but hurry up alright the cab arrives in an hour."

            While Jade is brushing her teeth she reminisces about the dreams she had the previous night.

Jade: "I can't stop thinking about those dreams and how they make me love Jackie even more."

            While Jade is brushing her teeth Jackie is also is having some thoughts that are less than pure of his niece.

Jackie: "I can't believe how much Jade has grown in these past few years, she has really matured into a very beautiful woman.  I just can't understand the dreams I have been having these past few weeks where Jade and I have been in some compromising situations."

            While having these thoughts Jackie does not notice that he is turning a faint shade of pink due to his naughty wanderings.  Jade arrives just as the Jackie finishes his thoughts on the past few weeks and what they mean to him.

Jade: "I'm all ready for the trip Jackie where are we going again?"

            After Jackie recovers from a face fault, as well as producing quite a bit of sweat coming from his forehead he explains the plans once again to Jade.

Jackie: "Jade I told you already that we are going to Japan to go over a new excavation site that proves to be the most earth-shattering discovery in this millennium."

Jade: "Oh that's right another excavation where Uncle and me will see the sights while you are away doing fun stuff."  This was stated with more than enough concealed venom to get through even Jackie's dense head.

Jackie: "Jade now don't be that way I can't help it if being a archaeologist sometimes causes me not to be there for you and Uncle."

Jade: "I know Jackie but I just wish you spent more time with us (mostly me but)."

Jackie: "I will try my best, come on the cab is here we have to get to the airport let's go."

            Thus they arrive at the airport and catch the 9:15 a.m. flight to Narita airport in Japan.  After the arduous 12 hour plane ride from Los Angeles to Narita, Japan the Chan clan is all but asleep on their feet.  Jackie must carry Jade from the airport to the cab awaiting outside to take them to their hotel.  While Jackie is carrying Jade he does not notice the pale pink shade of her skin, this is due to the fact that Jade is not asleep just very tired and warm next to the embrace of her favorite uncle.

Jade: "I can't believe I am riding piggyback on Jackie's shoulders I wish this moment would never end."

            But as Jade learns all too soon good things never last forever, Jackie deposits Jade in the backseat of a waiting taxi cab and returns for their luggage while Uncle watches over Jade.  Jade smells the distinct odor of Uncle and is pulled from her stupor by his strong aroma of garlic.

Uncle: "Oh Jade you are awake Jackie's gone to get the bags, one more thing he also carried you to the cab so when he comes back thank him."

Jade: "I will Uncle but isn't Jackie taking an awful long time?"

Uncle: "I suppose so let me check on him you wait in the cab, one more thing don't speak to the driver, one more thing don't touch anything."

Jade: "O.K.,O.K. just go and find Jackie so we can get to our hotel."

            While Uncle leaves the taxi cab driver turns around and speaks to Jade in Japanese thus Jade doesn't understand and shakes her head.  In heavily accented English the driver queries when they are going to be leaving the airport.  Jade answers that she does not know thus they both wait for Uncle and Jackie to return.

            When Uncle and Jackie do return they have the luggage and place it in the truck of the cab and off they go to their hotel.  During the ride there is awkward silence due to the language difference between the driver and his passengers.  Once Jackie breaks the ice the atmosphere turns much more hospitable.  They arrive at the hotel, The Hilton Regency, where they unload their luggage and Jackie pays the driver.

Jackie: "Well were here what do you want to do check in first or have dinner?"

Jade: "I wouldn't mind getting settled in first so I can take a bath after that long plane ride."

Jackie: "Okay how bout we check in then meet in the lobby in exactly 30 min. to eat dinner?"

Jade: "Great then I can take a bath."

Uncle: "Sounds good to me, but one more thing let's eat something other than sushi, one more thing something along the lines of Chinese food is good okay?"

Jackie: "Whatever you say Uncle, let's get checked in first."

            As they are checked in Jackie happens to see a beautiful Japanese woman pass by, while Jade is fuming silently right next to him.

Jade: "Why can't he stare at me like that it's not fair."

            Now on the verge of tears Jade tears away to the elevator with her luggage and runs to her room.  Leaving a perplexed Uncle and Jackie so they follow more slowly and reach the elevator to bring them to their rooms.  Jackie is worried about Jade's behavior and knocks on the door of her room.  It is open so he steps inside to see an empty room at first he is confused but he soon hears the telltale signs of the shower running.  He can also hear sobbing inside the bathroom so he goes to investigate, what he finds surprises him.
