A/N: Chapter 5, finally updated! Man, it has been a while! Okay, so Omi defeats the Crimson Gladiator in the Xiaolin Showdown, and little does he know that he fears that his friends might give Ryan attention again. Meanwhile, Jack is brewing up a plan to do so.
"Jack!" Wuya shouted. "Is your plan done now!"
"Not yet! I still need the money..."
"Money! What money?" Katnappe asked.
Jack responded, "I still need the money to buy flowers. Okay, so I'm going to act like Ryan, and 'purchase' a new soccor ball for Raimundo, a new indestructable rope for Clay, and flowers for Kimiko! Then, I will write a nasty letter to Omi, saying that I hate you, and you'll never ever be my friend! It's so awesome!"
"Jack," Katnappe continued, "don't you even know how much they cost?"
"Okay, so they're too expensive, but it's like they say! When there's a will, there's a way... uh-oh."
"Uh-oh what?" Katnappe asked. "What did you do!"
"Well... it's none of your business!"
"Well, I have ways in making you talk!" Katnappe raised her claws. She's about to slash Jack in the face, but then Jack screams out, "All right! I'll tell! I'll tell! But promise me you won't slash me in the face!"
"I will get mad at you, but I won't slash you in the face, because you're my friend."
A/N: Sorry to interrupt, but remember in my last story, "The Mystery of Omi's Parents," I said that Ashley was Jack's sister, but I realized my mistake, and now know that Ashley is actually Jack's friend. Okay, moving on!
"Okay... if you say so! I used half of your money and half of my money to buy all of this stuff," Jack finally said.
Katnappe looked at him for a moment, then slashed him quickly in the face. Jack faints to the floor, writhing in pain. Katnappe then looked at Wuya. "It's a teen girl's right to change her mind!" She said to her.

Omi sat on the steps while watching Ryan perform his kung-fu tricks. Ryan than decided to call it a day, and sat next to Omi.
"Isn't this great or what? New friends, new powers, and lots of kung-fu tricks... uh, are you okay? What's wrong? Didn't you remember that you won a showdown yesterday? It was so amazing!" Ryan exclaimed.
Omi could only sigh. "You know, my friend, it is not that I am jealous of you... but do you not think that you should take all of this stuff... just a little... easy?"
"Why?" Ryan asked.
"Well, ever since you have been here..."
"You mean 'got here.'"
"That too. Anyway, it seems that all of my friends are starting to like you and they do not have time with me..."
"It sounds like you're jealous with me," Ryan said suspiciously.
"No! No! I mean... well, I guess I am."
Ryan glared at him for a little bit, then started to sigh. "I guess you're right. I had the same problem at school. Sometimes, I always want to take the spotlight as being one of the best kids in school, but I completely went overboard, and I lost every friend I have. I'll tell you what. I'll make a promise so I won't make the same mistake I made in the early years. I'll try to take it easy with your friends, so they will have so much time with you."
"Are you so sure?" Omi asked.
"Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye I will! I mean, it's not like I'm going to give Clay an indestructable rope, or Kimiko flowers and a new advance PDA, or Raimundo a new soccor ball played by the pros. Besides, they're really too expensive in my blood. What do you say?"
Ryan reached his arm out to Omi, as if he wants to shake his hand. Omi thought for a second, but then reached his arm out to shake hands with him.
It seems that they now became friends.

The Crimson Gladiator went to shut-down mode, while Wuya and Katnappe were both waiting for Jack.
"That traitor! I can't believe he used HALF of my money to buy stupid things! Actually, I kind of like flowers myself, but that's not the point!" Katnappe shouted.
"And your point is?" Wuya questioned her.
"'And my point is!' Wuya, I was going to buy stuff when I'm going shopping, and now that Jack is taking half of my money for his geeky plan..."
"I GOT THEM!" Jack suddenly bursted through the door.
"Good work, Jack! Now we can begin our evil plan!" Wuya said.
"Yeah, but first, let me rest for a moment. I had a tough day! Hey, even evil geniuses have tough days!"
Wuya's grunts were drowned out by Katnappe's bad news. She looked at her viewing watch.
"Uh, I hate to break the bad news, but it seems that we're too late."
She shows her viewing watch to Jack and Wuya that Omi and Ryan were shaking hands.
"NOO! We ARE too late! They've made friends with each other! Well, another evil plan goes down the... uh, Jack, what's the word I'm looking for?" asked Wuya.
"Uh, drain," Jack told her.
"DRAIN!" Wuya finally exclaimed. "Now I'll have to use the Crimson Gladiator to finish the job, but he's not in full health yet!"
Jack interrupted her. "Uh, have you ever heard of the word, 'BACKSTABBING?'"
"Backstabbing? What are you talking about?" Katnappe asked.
"It's quite simple. Omi and Ryan may have became friends now, but I still have an evil plan! When Omi and Ryan aren't looking, I'll sneak in, and give everything to the other warriors. Then, I'll write asnobby letter to Omi, with Ryan's handwritting thanks to my latest invention, and Omi will get so mad, thinking that Ryan backstabbed him, and he'll have to fight with him. That's called 'backstabbing!'"
Katnappe thought for a second, then hugs him. "Jack, once again, I can't believe I'm saying this, but you rule!"
"Aw, I try," Jack said.
"But," Katnappe interupted, "you still suck, because you used half of my money, and now, you're going to pay!"
Jack screams like a girl, as Katnappe chases him out the basement.
"Ugh. It'll take a miracle to do so," Wuya said.
A/N: Well, it seems that Jack Spicer has a plan rolled up in his sleeves, but will it finally work? And how will Jack say sorry to Katnappe for using half of her money on the things for his evil plan? Rate and Review, and please, NO FLAMES AT ALL!
