A/N: An almost pointless chapter...

"Has anyone seen Jack?" Kimiko said as she reached the training grounds.
"Nah," Raimundo said, barely looking up from his magazine.
"I can't find him…"
"Why do you care?" Raimundo asked accusingly.
"It's just unlike him to miss breakfast and lunch…"
"Kimiko," Clay turned from his ever important task of playing with toy cowboys, "I wouldn't worry about him…"
"He's useless anyway," Raimundo muttered.
"What?" Kimiko glared at him.
"Oh come on. What good was he really? Sure, he lightened the chores by being another apprentice, but that's it!"
"He won a lot of Shen Gong Wu," Clay explained.
Raimundo shook his head, "Sorry, guys, but let's just hope that Jack doesn't come back."
Kimiko cringed.
"I agree with Raimundo. Jack is our friend, but he is not worthy of the honor of Wudai warrior."
"Yeah, but didn't ya' hear?" Raimundo put the magazine down, "Jack's Wudai now. Master Fung felt bad, I guess. Anyway, there's no further that he can go. Wudai's the end of the line for him. So technically, he graduated, I guess."
"How do you know all that?" Kimiko glared at him.
"I used the Manchurian Musca to follow him into the meditation room."
"Rai! How could you do that? Spy on a fellow dragon!" Kimiko screamed.
"I recon that it ain't Raimundo," Clay explained, "It's Hannibal Roy Bean again in Rai's clothes. Go away, ya' nasty critter!"
Clay, Omi, and Kimiko took formations.
"That sounds right, Clay. You should try and come up with a better tactic than that, Hannibal!" Kimiko shouted
"Hannibal?" Rai's eyes bulged, "Me?"
"Do not play tricks with us, Mr. Bean, we know that it is you!" Omi pointed angrily at him, "Return our friends, Raimundo and Jack, and we will let you go!"
"You guys, it's really me! You mean you honestly can't tell the difference between and imposter and the real deal!"
"Fine," the formation lightened, "If you're really Rai, prove it!" Kimiko barked.
"How?" he squealed.
"Platypus!" Omi yelled
Rai bit his lip to stifle a laugh.
"Well that was dumb, Omi," Clay explained.
"Ah, it may seem dumb, but it is not Raimundo always laughs at that word. If it truly is Raimundo, he will, as you say, break up."
"Crack up, I think," Clay corrected.
"Platypus!" Omi screamed again.
"This is so stupid," Kimiko pinched the ridge of her nose.
Rai was on the brink of laughter.
"Lemme try. Platypus!" Clay called.
Tears welled in Rai's eyes.
"Oh my god…" Kimiko sighed.
"Platypus!"
Rai was on his side.
"Come on, Kimiko, give it a shot, it's fun!"
Kimiko growled, "Fine… Platypus," she scowled.
That was it, Rai broke up.
"I still don't see how this helps us any," Kimiko grimaced.
"You see, Hannibal Roy Bean could never understand the level of stimulation the word 'platypus' gives Raimundo," Omi explained.
"Okay," Kimiko said slowly, "That was only a little unconventional…"
"Indeed, but effective, no?"
Kimiko glared at Omi and walked off.
"You're an ass, Rai," she spat as she walked by him.
