Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown, Have a Nice Day Café, or the song 'Fall to Pieces,'
A/N: I forgot to mention who sings the songs in real life, for those who don't know. 'You and Me,' is done by Lifehouse, 'Listen to Your Heart,' is by D.H.T., 'I Hate Everything About You,' is done by Three Days Grace. In this chapter, 'Fall to Pieces,' is by Avril Lavigne.

When Kimiko started singing, I was hooked. Her voice practically cast a spell over me. All I could do was listen.
I looked away
Then I look back at you
You tried to say
Things that you can't undo
If I had my way
I'd never get over you
Today's the day
I pray that we make it through
Make it through the fall
Make it through it all
And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you
I don't wanna talk about it
Cuz I'm in love with you
You're the only one
I'd be with til the end
When I come undone
You bring me back again
Back under the stars
Back into your arms
And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you
I don't wanna talk about it
Cuz I'm in love with you
Wanna know who you are
Wanna know where to start
I wanna know what this means
Wanna know how you feel
Wanna know what is real
I wanna know everything
Everything
I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't wanna conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't wanna conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you
I don't wanna talk about it
Cuz I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
Cuz I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I blinked, then let out a roar of applause. Everyone in the café clapped, for either a short time, or a long time. I clapped the longest. I made sure I turned off the camera before walking to the blushing girl.
"See, told ya you were amazing," I gloated. Yeah, I was a bad singer, but at least I knew a good singer when I heard one.
Kimiko looked down at the ground. "Yeah, yeah, no need to brag about you being right."
"Sorry," I said. "I'm kinda used to the whole 'I'm better than you' stuff. Guess I should stop that soon." I grinned a little, but she couldn't see it. She was still looking at her feet.

Gosh, why does Jack have to be right so often? So not fair. And why does he have to be nice to me right now? Why can't he go back to his rude self? Why am I getting the feeling I don't hate him as much as I thought? I felt him put his hand under my chin. I looked up, to see him. How can my enemy look at me with so much concern?
"You OK?" he asked. There was more concern in his voice then I had ever had for him. Or more than I had for him before tonight.
I nodded. "Yeah, I think I wanna just sit down for a while though. I'm hungry." I tried to look somewhat ticked that he touched my face. I failed miserably. Gosh darn it, why does he have to look at me like that? He moved his hand from my chin to my own hand. Now he's holding my hand! He's making sure I fall for him. . . Not that I mind much.
He took me over to the table, and I sat there for a moment. Finally, he said, "Are you going to get something?"
I shrugged. "Maybe later. I'm tired."
"Wanna go back to my place?"
"No. This is better." I leaned my head on his shoulder. I didn't care that it didn't feel one bit awkward either. I was over it. One more night, and I'd be back at the temple, dealing with my dang feelings I have for Jack.

A/N: My b-day is Friday. 14! I can't believe it. And for those who read it, the sequel to Inkheart by Cornelia Funke is out. It's called Inkspell, and it's the first thing I'm buying. Yup, I already know what I'm getting for my birthday. $100. And then some more money from my grandparents and all. Yeah. I might post chapter 7 today, it depends when my folks get back from fishing, and if I keep glancing at what my bros are watching. Can't believe they're watching Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
