------------
The next day Jesse and Jack worked for hours to make a plan that had the slightest chance of being successful. Their plan was to trick Kimiko and Raimundo into admitting their feelings, but not to each other. The plan was for them to tell Jesse and Jack. Of course Jack didn't want to have anything to do with this, but he was pretty much forced to. Jesse was to get Kimiko to tell her and Jack had the task of getting Raimundo to tell him if he liked Kimiko or not.
"You're kidding, right? Guys don't talk about that kind of stuff!" Jack shouted to Jesse as they walked toward the dinning area of the temple. But he already knew there was no way out of this.
"Well, then just act like you know he likes her, or like you like Kimiko. Yeah! You should do that! And then he'll get all jealous for sure!"
"I can think of something myself." Jack said bitterly as they walked into the dinning room.
"Whatever. My idea would work for sure. I doubt you'll even think of one." Before Jack could yell about how he was an evil genius Jesse squealed "Look! They're sitting by each other! And he's flirting with her!" Jesse whispered excitedly. She was shocking Jack even more each second, he had no idea she was the slightest bit girly. Then they both took their sets across from each other.
The meal went as usual, Clay ate almost everything on the table, Raimundo teased Kimiko, Omi asked about the strange things Jesse spoke of "Who is this McDonalds you speak of?", Dojo explaining things to Omi, Master Fung eating with his eyes closed probably pretending to be somewhere else, and of course Jack glared in Rai's direction. Dinner went as normal as it could go. After dinner Jesse and Jack went their separate ways to fulfill their plan.
------------
Jack walked into Jesse's room feeling worse than before. "It didn't work." He said sourly collapsing onto Jesse's "bed".
Jesse looked him over from the floor where she was reading a magazine. She noticed that he had a black eye and raised an eyebrow "What exactly did you say?"
Jack groaned "I'm in to much pain! I can't speak! I'm going to go now…" He whined.
"Jack! Why didn't you say what I told you to say?" Jesse was furious, how could Jack screw this up? All he had to do was find out if Raimundo liked Kimiko.
"Calm down! I still found out that he does in fact like her." After saying this Jack was once again in a horrible mood.
Jesse narrowed her eyes suspiciously "If you didn't say what I told you to say than what did you say?"
"Well…" Jack began to laugh nervously "It's kind of funny actually… I started the conversation by asking what he thought about Kimiko… and he just said 'She's ok I guess.'… And then I stared ranting about how they'd never work out and how Kimiko is to good for him… than he punched me…"
Jesse looked stunned "Kinda funny?" Jesse asked eyeing Jack. He cringed, was she mad at him… again? "That's hilarious! And the fact that it actually worked is great! I guess you didn't need that much help!"
"What do you mean 'that much'? I did that all on my own!" And not to mention by accident…
"You wouldn't of thought to make him jealous if it wasn't for me!" Jesse proudly shouted back.
"Whatever! I did that all on my own! It was my idea and I did it so… Yeah!" Jack yelled back.
"You can't even come up with a good come back! You really think you could of come up with that plan on your own?" Jesse shouted.
Jack took a second to think "Hey, I-"
"What are you two fighting about?" Kimiko asked coming into the room. Jack and Jesse both starred at the girl as if they were seeing a ghost.
"We were just, ya know fighting… because Jack said he can beat everyone here in a showdown and I don't think he can! Right Jack?" Jesse explained elbowing Jack in the ribs.
"Oh yeah! I so could!" Jack fallowed her lead, but unfortunately Kimiko saw Jesse elbow Jack in the ribs.
Kimiko smiled "Oh, I see." She said before she left. She thought she had it all figured out.
Jesse and Jack both sighed when she left. "That was close." Jack said.
"Ya think?" Jesse asked.
"Um, yeah! That's why I said it!" Jack answered angrily.
"Be quiet! We don't want her, or anyone else for that matter, to come in here!" Jesse whispered.
"Whatever." Jack retorted looking away. The pain from his black eye made him remember why he was in Jesse's room in the first place. "Now what are we going to do about this whole Kimiko lose- Raimundo thing?"
Jesse took a few seconds to think it over "Well, I did see this one thing on TV once." She started.
"Was it the magic bullet? I saw that infomercial and it was awesome! It can cut up-"
"That's not what I'm talkin' about!" Jesse yelled. She quickly covered her mouth after she did so. "I was talking about writing love letters for the both of them. We'll write them, but the letter to Raimundo will say it's from Kimiko and vice versa." Jesse explained.
"Why didn't we just do that in the first place?" Jack asked trying to hide his anger.
"Because I just thought of it, duh!" Jesse bluntly answered.
Jack starred at her blankly "That sounded like something I would say."
Jesse made a face like she was going to be sick "I've been hanging around you far to long."
"Well it's just been dandy working with you!" Jack changed his tone. "Can't I please take a nap before we start one of your crazy plans again? Please?" Jack smiled sweetly and fluttered his girly eyelashes.
Jesse smiled "Now how could I say no to that?" Jack grinned hearing her good-natured tone "You got ten minutes!" She shouted now angry. "I'm going go get some nice paper from my brother. It's kinda weird that he has all that nice stuff…"
------------
Jesse walked back into her room holding a pile of fancy paper, envelopes, and other related items in her arms. Clay had kept her in his room for a good 45 minutes showing her all of his stationary and picking color schemes. She set it all neatly by her 'bed'.
As she looked around her 'room' she noticed a sleeping Jack Spicer deeply asleep on her 'bed'. As he slept she gazed over the redhead. She noticed how messy his neon orange hair was, how badly applied his eyeliner was, and how glow in the dark his ghost white skin was. But strangely none of these qualities annoyed her. Instead they brought a curvy smile to her face. Maybe he wasn't all bad in two aspects…
But of course this curvy smile soon became a yelling mouth as she woke Jack up.
