Chapter 25: Raimundo's Present, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Kimiko's P.O.V.
Today was Rai's B-Day! Raimundo was sleeping... "I'll be back Raimundo." I whispered and tip toed to my room, I had to wrap my present for him now. The telescope also had a booklet that told all the constellations... Even though Raimundo seemed like he knew more I still will give it to him. How to tear wrapping paper silently? I need more than one person. "Clay! Omi! Open up NOW!" I was hammering on their doors. "What now Kimiko, did you have to wake me so early?" Asked Clay, Omi didn't say anything, he was still rubbing his eyes. "Get Xian and Jill, they need to wake up too, it's Raimundo's B-Day, and if you didn't get him something then I'm going to..." My voice was getting louder, but I could still hear Rai's snores from the other room.
"What Kimiko?" Jill popped her head from Clay's side. "Raimundo's Birthday! Did you get him something?" I asked. "Yes, Clay and I did, a new surfboard." She whispered. "Good. Omi and Xian, what did you get Raimundo? Omi if you didn't get him something I'm going to burn you till you..." "No worries here my loyal friend Kimiko, Xian and I got him a pet fish." He said as he extended his hand, their was a bowl; some fish food, and a goldfish, which was swimming in circles.
"Okay everyone, we need to wrap presents, but Omi and Xian, I don't think you would to wrap our little friend here..." I pointed to the goldfish. "Very good. Omi and I will wrap the presents, while you, Clay and Jill go decorate." Said Xian, who peeped out of Omi's door. "Okay, let's go split!" I ran to the Great Hall with Clay and Jill. "Do we need to get Master Fung?" Asked Jill. "No, he wakes up at 7:30, and now it's 9:24." I replied and glanced at my watch.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
"Good Morning Kim." I whispered, no answer. I finally opened my eyes, she wasn't there. "Guess she went back to her room." I said to no one. Now I really needed a shower. The clock said it was 10:45. I took a quick shower, put on my outfit, and looked at the calender... Today was my birthday!
I ran outside and saw no one. Then I went to the kitchen, not even Master Fung was there. Did they forget? Someone tackled me from behind, followed by a burst of noise and music. "Happy Birthday Raimundo!" Master Fung, Dojo, Clay, Jill, Xian, and Omi came out of their hiding places... Kimiko was the one that tackled me. "We all got you presents Rai!" Shouted Kimiko. I was happy, this was probably the best Birthday I ever would have.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
Raimundo's expression was priceless, he was so happy! "Raimundo, since you hid on my birthday, I hid all the presents!" I said, and he flashed me a smile. "Go ahead and try to find them all!" Clay yelled, and Raimundo was out of the door. "Okay guys, this gives us time to decorate! Master Fung, Dojo: Great Hall. Clay and Jill: Sleeping quarters. Omi and Xian: Hallways. I'll get the kitchen and garden. Let's go!" Everyone scrambled to the places I assigned, now being a Xiaolin monk really helped right now.
Yes, I hid the presents really well... He would find them in a long time. The streamers were up, and the table cloth was set, now I needed to go to the garden. I rushed over there and I heard. "Kimiko! It was nice of you to visit me." It was Peaches, and since I talked to her so often, I didn't need the Tongue of Sai ping. "Hi! Can you help me decorate, today is Raimundo's day." "Really? The handsome boy is getting older? My, my, people grow so fast. Of course I'll help!" She said and took some streamers under her wings and flew away.
We all met back at the kitchen, and it was 11:26. "Did you all finish your work? Clay and I did." Retorted Jill. "Yes I did, with some help. Anyways, Dojo, where is the cake?" I asked and flipped some hair behind my shoulder. "Yes, I did bake it, and it's delicious! All we need is your statues." He said and placed his dragon on the cake. "This is going to be so cool!" Exclaimed Xian. Everyone made theirs last night when Raimundo was sleeping. I looked at my sculpture, it had Raimundo and I hugging... It was perfect.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
If Kimiko hid these presents, then the last one I needed would be somewhere in the Temple. I got the fish from the Waterfall (I liked it!), the rectangular box from a treetop, but I didn't know where Kimiko's was. I strolled into the garden, a bird zoomed toward me, the one Kimiko had the other day. It started to chirp madly at me, and then fly away. Kimiko was standing at the window watching me, with a smirk on her face. "Kim! Stop doing that! You know it's annoying!" "Come on Raimundo, find the last present already! It's close by, and if you can understand bird language then she just told you where it was!" She shouted and closed the window.
This was going to take a while, if it was nearby then that meant it WAS in the garden... Well probably. In a flower bed? No. In a tree? Nope. In the fountain? Let's find out... I looked around the fountain, there was a bosh next to it, and the roses Kimiko planted. My first reaction was look at the roses... But then I stopped myself, that's what Kim wold want me to think, so instead I chose the bush. In it was a box, I didn't know what was in it because all my presents were wrapped... except the fish.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
I saw him take the scope, so I told everyone to meet back at the kitchen. "Okay, on the count of 3! 1..2..3!" I shouted. "Raimundo!" Everyone yelled, and he came into the room. "What?" He asked. "It's your birthday Rai! Why do you always act so clueless! Anyways, open your presents, I need to get my camera." I ran back to my room and found out that my cell phone was ringing. "Hello, this is Kimiko." I said and pressed the phone against my ear. "Kimiko, this is your mom, I just wanted to wish Raimundo a happy birthday, remember to tell him that!" "Okay mom, I need to get going talk to you later! Bye!" "Bye Honey."
"Raimundo, my mom says hi, and did you open your presents?" I asked and sat down next to him. "No, I was waiting for you." He replied and started to open Clay's and Jill's presents. This was going to be exciting, I couldn't wait to see his face.
