I Miss You.
Miss you so Bad.
I don't forget you.
Oh, it's so sad.
Spicer's Dead.
Dead.
We couldn't believe it. Jack Spicer. Evil boy genius. Heylin Lackey. Our Arch enemy.
Dead.
In the night, they say. Hung himself. Suicide: The coward's way out.
That's Jack alright.
I sit in the garden of our temple, thinking. Why would he do it? I punch the ground with my fist, then rubbed the tan skin. Too bad…but I can't help thinking about what they said:
There was a smile on his face.
I hope you can hear me,
I remember it Clearly…
The day you Slipped Away,
Was the day I found it won't be the same…
I can hear the rain outside. It only rained when I was depressed. And I am…
Jack's gone.
You may say I'm a fool for being sad about the death of my rival for Shen Gong Wu. You may call me a "lily", as Raimundo says.
But I'm not.
But why do I weep for him? The boy who was my enemy…Why am I crying for thief, liar, and evil-doer? Because even thought he didn't know it…
He was my friend.
And I'm glad he's free.
I didn't get around to Kiss you
Goodbye on the hand.
I wish that I could see You again…
I know that can't.
Sobbing.
Sobbing for the past 2 straight hours.
Wuya. She won't shut up. Crying for that fool of boy. Jack Spicer. Maybe I'll rip her fucking head off to shut her up. My golden eyes look into the flame before me and remind me of him. I smirk. At least he could do what I could not.
Free himself from these chains that bind.
He was annoying, yes. He was a prick, yes. But he…he was Jack. Jack Spicer, evil boy genius. Jack with his robots and his lust for Shen Gong Wu. Jack, the punk kid. Jack, the imbecile.
The Jack who wanted to be my friend.
I feel this knot in my stomach. Maybe Guilt? No, I shake the thought from my mind. But, even though I didn't like him…
I'd be damned if I didn't respect him.
I hope you can here me,
Cause I remember it clearly…
The day you Slipped Away,
Was the day I found it won't be the same.
Tears fall from my eyes and my breath hiccups.
I was crying.
Crying for first time in 1,500 years.
Over a boy.
An idiot boy who was a disgrace. A disgrace to evil everywhere. A failure, a boy with a trivial plan for "world domination". That's why I left him for Chase.
But why couldn't stop weeping over him.
His short, red hair. Little beady eyes. Annoying voice. I missed every inch of the young boy that freed me from the prison that Dashi placed upon me.
The fool…
I've had my wake up,
Won't you wake up?
I keep asking why?
And I can't take it;
It wasn't a fake it.
It happened you passed by.
Now you're gone,
Now you're gone.
There you go,
There you go.
Somewhere I can't bring you back.
Not Spicer.
That's what I said when Master Fung told us at breakfast. Not Jack Spicer, the cocky snake that slithered like a trickle of water down a glass on a hot day. Not Him.
None of us ate.
Even though we didn't see eye to eye, Jack being evil and all, I did like the fact we did have someone to up against that was like one of us.
One of Us.
He was a honorary Xiaolin Dragon. At least in my eyes.
The day you Slipped Away,
Was the day I found it won't be the same.
Oh.
The day you Slipped Away,
Was the day I found it won't be the same…
"Jack."
"Jack." I whispered his name over and over. Jack. My mascara-filled tears soil the pillow my face was buried in.
Jack was an idiot, that was a given. But, what was beneath that foolish overcoat with fire colored hair and pale skin? Would it be a kid who wanted to be noticed. A kid who was just like us?
A kid in pain?
That I would never know. He was gone from me now. He could have been my friend, my confidant, maybe even…
Something more.
But that was trivial thinking. I sat up, wiping my face and grabbed the helipack that Master Fung gave me to pray over. I clutched to my chest and let words escape my lips:
"I Miss You."
