A/N: Yeah, yeah, I know it was supposed to be a one-shot, but I liked it and wanted to continue it. XD I can't help myself.

Jack: Yes you can. You just choose not to.

A/N: You sound like my mom. Now, to answer my fans…

TamerTerra: Yeah, I agree with you, I upped the rating. Thanks for the positive review! Made my day. It was supposed to be a one-shot, yes…heh. Jack and Clay are my two favorite Xiaolin characters ever, so I couldn't resist writing about them. You'll find out what happened to Jack in this chappie.

Jack: Yeah, what did happen to me? This sucks.

A/N: Shh, I'm still talking.

Chrystalas: Thank you, thank you, thank you! You win a cookie.

LiviorX: I thought Jack with his goggles on looked like a surgeon in one episode, so I wrote a story on it!

By the way, my peeps, Wuya was defeated before this fic happened. Not even her ghost form will bother them now. And now, with no further ado, the next chapter!

Jack: Whee!

Story: Not Half Bad

Rating: T

Summary: When Clay has an accident, there's only one person there who can help him. Can worst enemies learn to be friends?

Clay handed Jack his goggles.

"I found 'em danglin' from your shoe. I wasn't sure if you'd lost 'em or what, but I figured you'd want 'em back."

"Thanks, Clay," said Jack. He strapped the goggles to his head and smiled.

"How'd you get like that?" Clay asked, indicating his broken leg and black eye.

"Chase Young," Jack spat. "He was mad at me for saving the life of a Xiaolin Dragon. He ambushed me while I was flying my plane. He socked me in the eye, slammed me in the chest and pushed me down. Then…he took my jacket. He knew how much I liked it. He said, 'You don't deserve to live,' then opened up the bottom of the plane and dropped me. I was so focused on not landing on my head—the direction I was going—that I landed on my leg. I kind of crumpled, and when I woke up, my plane was gone. I don't know where it is, or my jacket." He sighed. "That was my favorite jacket, too."

"Jus' be glad you're alive," said Clay. He held out a pair of smooth, new crutches. "I made 'em. I figured you needed to get around somehow."

"Cool!" said Jack, trying them out. They worked perfectly. He crutched out to the courtyard, Clay following behind. The breeze felt good on his hot face. He wasn't wearing his makeup, but the hair and goggles were enough Jack Spicer for him. He blinked his red eyes in the pale, cold sunlight. The clouds looked like rain, or snow. He tried taking one step, then two, Clay spotting him the whole time. If he fell, Clay would be there to catch him.

Unbeknownst to them, three kids and a dragon were watching from the tea house.

"What's he doing?" asked Dojo from his perch atop Omi's head. "I thought Jack was the enemy!"

"He is," assured Kimiko. "Clay's just helping him get back up on his feet. He saved Clay's life, Clay saved his, they're square."

"No way, Kim," said Rai. "That's full-blooded friendship right there. Just look at them!"

"This is most confusing," said Omi. "First he is the enemy, now he is our friend? My brain is joggled."

"I think you mean boggled," said Rai. "He's just lost with Wuya gone. He needs something to hold onto. Maybe he's changing his scales."

"Whatever," said Kimiko. "Keep listening."

The two had gotten to a bench. Clay sat down next to Jack, striking up a very important conversation.

"Jack, I was wonderin', how'd you like to join the temple? What with Wuya gone…" he trailed off.

Jack seemed to consider it, then turned to Clay and answered, "Sure, why not?"

There was a collective gasp from the hidden Dragons.

"You're serious!" yelled Rai, running over

"Yeah. I've got no other friends, so why not join the friends I do have?"

"You have deeply shocked me, Jack Spicer," said Omi, emerging with Kimiko and Dojo.

Jack shrugged. "I was supposed to be a Dragon anyways, but my mom wouldn't give me up. I'm old enough to make my own decisions now."

"Hold up," said Kimiko. "You were supposed to be a Dragon?"

"Yeah. My mom told me the other day. She noticed how I was always 'playing' with you guys."

"Jack Spicer," said Omi formally. Dojo slid off his head. "Look inside yourself. Find your inner Dragon."

Jack closed his eyes, frowning in concentration. Abruptly, he smiled. Omi knew he'd found his Dragon.

"Ask if you may harness it."

'May I harness you?' Jack asked inside.

'Yes…' came the relieved reply.

Jack was surrounded in a bright, white light, and when it faded, he was in the robes of a Xiaolin Dragon.

"Ahem," said Dojo. "Master Fung told me to give you this when you were ready." He held out an indigo sash. "For saving the life of a fellow Xiaolin Dragon, I hereby present you with the sash of a Xiaolin apprentice. Congratulations, Dragon of Lightning."

Raimundo slapped him on the back, Kimiko smiled at him, even Omi gave a little bow. Clay gave him a great big bear hug.

"Congrats, buddy," said Clay, smiling.

"What's that?" asked Rai suddenly. There was a loud droning noise coming from above. Everyone knew what it was, but no one wanted to admit it.

Suddenly, the noise got form. Out of the clouds came Jack's plane. It touched down and the top opened, revealing Chase Young. He looked around, his eyes finally resting on Jack.

"You didn't deserve to live, Jack," he said calmly.

"What do you want, Chase?" asked Jack.

"What does it look like?" countered Chase malevolently.

He threw down a can and it opened, a purple gas spilling out. One by one, the Dragons of Water, Fire, Wind, and Earth fainted. Last to faint was Jack, to the sound of Chase's evil laughter.

A/N: Eh? Eh?

Jack: Eh! I'm good! Whoopee! (celabrates)

A/N: Yes, Jackie. You're good. Whee. Rate and review, peeps, I really like this chappie, but you'll really like the next one too. I'm not going on until I get a review from all three of you, TamerTerra, Chrystalas, LiviorX. K? Tell your friends! ;)

Jack: (still celabrating)

A/N: (smacks him)
