When I woke up, the first thing I smelled was perfume. I opened my eyes, to see Jack spraying some on me. Chase had come. It was almost time for the wedding. My stomach quivered at the thought. I sat up, and Jack stopped with the perfume. I looked at him. I didn't have to say anything. He just took my hand and pulled me up.

"Did you look for the shen-gong-wu? Did you find it?" It was my last plan besides murder. I really only wanted to use that as a last resort.

He shook his head. "I looked everywhere I can think of. I even went to pushing random stones on the wall. But I couldn't find it. Then Chase came in and told me to put this makeup on you. It must be almost time."

I nodded. But then, Jack said something that cheered me up slightly. "Chase said that I was allowed to come, and walk you down the aisle. If I promised I wouldn't talk. The others are going to be there too. Chase said something about chaining them to the chairs and gagging them."

I thought about it. It was better than no one being there. At least my friends would be there.

Then, quite randomly, a question bursted into my head. "Jack," I said, "if by some very slim chance we all get out of this alive, will you join the Xiaolin side, or will you stay on the Heylin?"

Jack looked at me curiously. He didn't look angry. He seemed to be pondering the question. "Well," he said finally, "even though the Heylin side has caused all this trouble, I'll probably stay on it. I mean, How would it be for me to say, 'Jack Spicer, not-quite-so-evil boy genius.'?" He tried to grin, but couldn't quite manage it.

His answer didn't shock me. If the Xiaolin side had caused all this trouble, I would remain on it. I had been on the good side for so long, that I would stay on it no matter what.

"So, what will Jack Spicer, evil boy genius do if we get out of this?" I asked.

He was about to speak, when the door opened. A jungle cat walked in. It carried a note in its mouth. I took the note. It said the same dreaded words Chase had said earlier.

It's showtime!

I looked at Jack, to see he wasn't there. Instead, his butt was there. He was under the bed.

"Jack, it's time!" Fear was in my voice. Fear that I had never heard before.

Jack's voice was muffled. He sounded a bit shocked. "Uh . . . yeah. I just dropped my goggles. I'll er. . . be out in a minute."

I started walking to the door. I could've sworn Jack had muttered, "Shroud of Shadows," when I was in the hallway. Finally, Jack walked out. He was pretty good at faking a smile.

"Let's go," he said, offering me his arm. I took it, and started a hushed conversation with him.

"Did you say, 'Shroud of Shadows,' when you were under there. Are you holding back some shen-gong-wu?"

Jack muttered, "I didn't say anything. I thought I saw a rat, and normally, if I see a rat, I say that. It makes me feel invisible." I took his word for it. Jack isn't the bravest person.

Finally, we reached the doors that opened to the dining room. There was a note on the doors. I was getting sick and tired of notes. Couldn't anyone just come up to me, and tell me what was happening straight to my face? Either way, I read the note.

Walk out when you hear music. Spicer, your seat is next to Raimundo.

I was nervous now. Someone had to have a plan! Someone, anyone had to get me out of this! If no one did, then I was doomed. And Chase would probably Lau Men Loong Soup, so he could make sure he rules forever. I could end up drinking DOJO!

After what seemed like eternity, I heard music. Not the traditional wedding music either.

Jack opened the door, and began walking with me. I wasn't sure how exactly I was supposed to walk, considering it wasn't real wedding music.

The music was: Dun, dun, da, dun, da, da, da, da, da, da, dun.

A/N: Wow, it took me forever to update. And I'm surprised to update this. So many things happened today. Today's my cousin's birthday, and this morning, my aunt's rabbit died in the grossest way possible. Plus, it hurts to type, because the roller coasters from yesterday beat me up so badly. But, I rode Drop Zone! I will never ride it again though. No one liked it. My favorite ride was probably Flight of Fear. Roller coasters in the dark are so awesome.

OK, I can't update Monday. It's my dad's birthday, and we're going out to dinner. But, I will update Tuesday for certain. I'll try to update tomorrow too.
