SpicerFreak: Wow, that's one of the sweetest reviews I ever got. Thank you! I'll dedicate chapter 10 to you!

Firewu and tamerterra- I'm sooooo sorry firewu! When I reviewed your story, for some reason, I thought you were tamerterra. As for tamerterra. Yes, it is getting trianglely, but it'll clear up by chapter 11, and be more Jack/Kimiko.

This chapter is dedicated to StephanieFan. Who has reviewed every single chapter.

I walked around the new cell. It was practically the same as Jack's room. Except the mirror was still intact, and there was a window connecting to Jack's room. And, there was a blanket on the bed.

I walked over towards the window and opened it. Jack walked over towards it, and I began talking.

"The wedding is tomorrow at noon! How am I supposed to get out of this?" I wasn't going to panic until the absolute last moment. The moment when it was my turn to say, 'I do'

I saw Jack shake his head. "I dunno. I'm trying to think of a way myself. Why do you think he separated us?"

I remembered the jealousy in Chase's voice. I couldn't help but grin when I said, "Oh, I have an idea. Let's just say, if it's true, it would be pretty hilarious."

Jack looked at me confused. So he hadn't heard the envy in Chase's voice. I looked at him, staring in disbelief. "Don't you get it? Chase is jealous of you! Because . . . I uh . . ." Crap, I thought. How the heck am I gonna get out of this fix?

"You 'uh' what?" Jack looked at me suspiciously. I took a deep breath, and said it really fast. "I really, really like you, and I would rather marry you any day, then marry Chase. And Chase found out at dinner, and now, I think he's really jealous of you."

I could've sworn I saw Jack's jaw drop. I looked down at my feet, blushingly. Finally, I heard the words, "You actually . . . like me?" His voice sounded if it was surprised, and . . . happy? I dared to look up. All I saw was pink. Jack was blushing too.

Then, I thought of something. If my door opened at the push of a stone, why wouldn't this one? Then, I could actually see Jack. It would help, and I'd feel better.

"Jack, stand back," I said. He looked at me curiously, but stood back all the same.

I looked. I needed to push the center stone in the center row under the window. I counted the stones in the middle row. 20. I pushed the tenth stone in the row.

It worked. The wall became a door, and it opened. "Thank you for paying attention," I muttered to myself. I ran through the doorway, and straight to Jack. I pulled him into a hug almost immediately. He stood there as still as a tree. Obviously me opening the door had been a shocker to him. I kissed him on the cheek, and whispered in his ear, "Don't ask. I saw Chase open my door."

I felt him nod. He turned his head, and kissed my neck. It felt nice. Really nice. I wanted to stay like that forever. But then trouble sank back into my heart.

I broke away, and sat down on the couch. I was about to say something, when I heard a distant knock.

"Oh crap!" I ran back into my room. I prayed that whoever it was wouldn't notice the second door was open. I didn't know how to close it.

I opened the window. I heard Chase's voice say, "I have a message for you from the Apprentice of Wind."

Rai was sending me a message? "OK, so what is it?"

"I couldn't understand it much, but he said, 'Hasecay tolesay hetay pheresay foay unyay.' Do you understand it?"

Pig Latin, I thought. I hadn't heard that in a long time.

"Uh, can you repeat it?" I asked. I tried to sound nice.

"'Hasecay tolesay hetay pheresay foay unyay.'"

Chase stole . . . the sphere of . . . yun? Chase stole the Sphere of Yun! Thank Rai when I get out of this, I thought. I couldn't believe it. It was perfect! If I could find the Sphere of Yun, then I could trap Chase, and then be free! It was the best idea I could think of for the current moment.

"Uh, no I don't understand anything he said. But if he's gonna talk nonsense, tell him, hanktay ouyay."

I saw Chase roll his eyes, as he shut the window. As soon as I was certain that he was gone, I ran back into the other room to Jack. And before I even knew what I was doing, I was pressing my lips to his.

It was so sweet. I thought that it was a dream. I couldn't believe I was doing this. And I could've sworn I felt him smile. It was perfect.

I broke away, blushing furiously. I couldn't believe I had just done that. But, I was so happy. It just kind of took over.

I chanced a look at Jack. I muttered, "I'm sorry."

He shook his head, and looked up. He was trying to act normal. "It's ok. You er . . . must have gotten some good news. Um, what happened in there."

I remembered why I was happy. "Oh, Rai sent me a message. In Pig Latin. I guess Chase didn't understand what he said. The message was, 'Chase stole the Sphere of Yun.'"

Jack blinked. "So, you're saying that Chase made sure that one of the only items to stop him was out of the way. So, does that mean . . ."

"That the Sphere of Yun is somewhere in the building? Yes, I think so."

Jack looked as though he could dance. So, I made him. I took his hand, and started skipping around. Clay had showed me how to do a ho-down a lot. It seemed to fit my mood at the moment. I think Jack finally understood what was going on, and tried to dance with me. He did pretty well, but he tripped over his feet a lot.

After five minutes or so, I laid down on the bed. I was so worn out. I was completely full of excitement. I might be out of here before I can deal with anything dealing with the words wedding, dress, and Chase Young. My last thought was, And maybe I can marry Jack. I fell asleep in Jack's room.

A/N: I don't know whether I like this chapter as much. Mostly because I kinda wanted them to kiss at the very end instead of now. Next chapter will probably be my favorite. It's gonna be good.
