Chapter 2: Songs and IM Chats
Kimiko's POV
I skipped outside a couple minutes after I was humming and putting my new books on my bookshelves.
I had no idea who my secret admirer was and yet I was still beaming.
"Hey Kimiko," said Clay. "You seem really enthused over something."
I just couldn't stop grinning... and for some reason neither could Rai.
"Hey, Rai, do you think you could help me get this necklace clasped?"
He was holding a soccer ball, so he put it down and helped me get it clasped.
"Where did you get that necklace, Kimiko?" Dojo asked curiously.
"Apparantly I have a secret admirer," I replied.
"What do you think of him?" asked Raimundo.
"Well...I think he's sweet for sending me the necklace and the books." As I said this I could have sworn Raimundo's grin got bigger than what it was when I came out here. "But I already have a crush on someone else." At this point Rai looked disappointed.
"Oh, okay," he said and started walking away.
"So, what did he send you?" asked Clay, a slight grin on his face.
"I got the books I've been bugging Rai to get me forever and I got this," I said pointing to my very fancy necklace. "I should probably tell Rai I don't need him to buy me those books anymore," I said looking for Rai. He wasn't there and I wasn't worried about it. I'd just have to tell him later.
Raimundo's POV
Kimiko came outside skipping and holding a necklace. I quickly recognized it as the necklace I had gotten her. I started grinning and couldn't stop, and, of course, Kimiko was grinning too.
"Hey Kimiko," said Clay. "You look really enthused about something."
"Hey, Rai, do you think you could help me get this necklace clasped?"
I put down the soccer ball I was holding and helped her get it clasped.
"Where did you get that necklace, Kimiko?" Dojo asked curiously.
"Apparantly I have a secret admirer," Kimiko replied.
"What do you think of him?" I asked. I just had to know.
"Well...I think he's sweet for sending me the necklace and the books."
When Kim said that I could feel my face start to redden and my grin grew bigger...if that was possible.
"But--"
Oh no! A 'but'!
"I already have a crush on someone else."
There went my hope, crushed into disappointment. "Oh, okay," I said, desperately trying to hide my disappointment as I walked back to the Temple.
The girl of my dreams just shattered my heart into a million pieces. As I thought this I tried desperately tried to hold back the tears that threatened to fall.
Just then a thought hit me like a comet. I hadn't added those songs that I had written down on a piece of paper on my desk. (A/N: If you can't remember them, chck back to the first chapter.
I quickly ran to my room, grabbed the paper, ran to Kimiko's room, grabbed her Mp3 player, glanced out the window to see if anyboby was near the Shen Gong Wu vault (thankfully nobody was there or that would have ruined my plans), the proceeded to sneak to the vault. Once inside, I used the Golden Tiger Claws to get me back home where I could download songs in peace. Thankfully nobody was home in my house in Brazil.
I booted up the computer and was about to relax while it turned on, when something caught my eye. It looked like software that would let you record and download your own songs to an Mp3 player. You could even make the beats, the rhythms, everything just the way you wanted it to sound.
I uploaded the software and tried it out. WIthin an hour I had made a song called "Angel from Another Planet" and downloaded it to Kimiko's Mp3 player, and within another half-hour I had downloaded all the songs I had listed on the paper.
I got back to the Temple by nine.
Kimiko's POV
I stayed up until eleven trying to teach Omi how to play chess and checkers. By ten he understood the concept of checkers and I could tell we needed more than an hour to teach him how to play chess. By "we" I mean me, Raimundo, and Clay.
The next morning I unhooked my Mp3 player from its charger and listened to the songs. So many songs I know I didnl't download like "Congratulations Smack + Katy" by Reggie and the Full Effect, "A thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton, "Walking on Sunshine" and "All Star" both by Smash Mouth, "Seasons of Love" from the musicsal Rent and "Till the Stars Fall from the Sky" (they sounded like a choir versions, so it was just the piano for the background), "A Bridge over Troubled Water" (thank goodness that it wasn't the Clay Aiken version), and a song called "Angel from Another Planet". The last two songs were sung by the same person and I didn't know who the singer was, which was odd because the voice sounded oddly familiar.
"Angel from Another Planet" was beautiful. Here are the lyrics:
Angel from another planet
A mystery in your eyes
Angel from another planet
Stories in your eyes
Angel from another planet
A mystery you behold
Angel from another planet
Stories you have told
Angel living a double-life
In a peaceful human guise
Human living another life
A peaceful life on earth
Human living a double-life
Angel from another planet
Angel from another planet
Multiple stories in your eyes
Angel living here on earth
Angel in disguise
Angel from another planet
A mystery in your eyes
It was so beautiful! Raimundo just had to listen to it.
"Raimundo!" I called. I didn't have to look far. He and Clay were in the front room with Omi trying to finish what I started the night before. "Rai," I said, sitting down next to him. "Listen to this," I said, giving him the ear buds to listen to. "It's from my secret admirer!" I squealed after the song ended.
"Do you like it?" asked Rai some-what shyly.
"I love it! It's perfect! It has the perfect rhythm and the perfect beat and the words...the words are maveralous. It's the perfect love song of all time!"
(A/N: I had to resist the urge to have Kimiko give Rai a huge hug and give him a kiss on the cheek!)
Jack Spicer's POV (finally)
"Wuya!" I called, but got no reply. "She's never here when I need her," I muttered under my breath.
Why. Is there never any food in this house!
(A/N: The period after "why" signals a pause.)
I figured I needed something to eat and not wanting to go to the store, I called up a pizza.
"One withe everything on it, please. Just no anchovies or mushrooms."
"It will be ready in forty-five minutes to an hour, Mr. Spicer.
"Thank you," I said and hung up.
Bored, I turned on the computer.
"Ding! You've got mail," the computer said in its automated voice. "Ding! Windoffire wants to be your friend. Do you accept?"
Of course I clicked yes. My friends list only consisted of Katnappe and frankly I hate cats.
"Ding! Girlsof1000faces wants to be your friend. Do you accept?"
Again, yes.
(A/N: Bet you can't guess who girlof1000faces is! I'll give you a hint: She's the Dragon of Fire. Windoffire is probably a dead giveaway, right? That's right! It's Raimundo!)
girlof1000faces: hey

girlof1000faces: lol! i have a friend who loves that game. that would probly b his reply
(A/N: lol Jacks reply probably is totally identical to what Rai would say.)
There was a knock at my door.
spicynsweet: brb
girlof1000faces: k
I paid the delivery guy and brought the pizza inside.
spicynsweet: g2g
spicynsweet: i liked talking with you girl. i could never talk like this to any of my other "friends"

girlof1000faces: Spice, what do u look like
spicynsweet: tall, red hair, red eyes, goth-somewhat, some facial decorations but no piercings
girlof1000faces: hot-tay
I wish Kimiko would say that to me. At that thought and what girlof1000faces just said, I started to blush. Thank the Wu that Wuya isn't here to see this.
girlof1000faces: im short, my hair is balck and up in ponytails, and i have blue eyes
girlof1000faces: oh, and you can call me Angelfire
spicynsweet: sounds like you look like my crush.

girlof1000faces: that means "talk to you later" right?
spicynsweet: yep
spicynsweet: sweet dreams Angelfire
girlof1000faces: right back at ya Spice.
3rd person POV
I wish a Shen Gong Wu would reveal itself.
Kimiko's, Raimundo's, and Jack Spicer's thoughts all echoed each other.
No names were dicussed during the IM conversion between Jack and Kimiko for obvious reasons.
I need help before I can continue. Please go to my home page (link is up at top) and on there is a link to the picture of Kimiko's necklace mentioned in the first chapter. I need a name for it. It's power is similar to that of the Ring of Nine Dragons, except it only creates only one other carbon or identical copy.
