Jaqulin decided to get brave one day and cautiously exited the plane. It was freezing outside, with the temperature being about -18 degrees Celsius, but she wasn't surprised. After all, it gets pretty cold in the Arctic. Pulling the thick coat tighter around her, she made her way in the same direction she watched her cousin go.
I don't know why I come if I never do anything.
Her boots crunched on the ice and snow underneath her feet as she walked. Her breaths visibly puffed in front of her face as she exhaled. Her face stung whenever the wind blew. Just as she was getting used to the weather, the ground ended suddenly and she found herself falling. She screamed as she fell and landed in a large pile of snow.
She was sure she had rolled her ankle because when she tried to stand it throbbed painfully. Jaqulin cursed under her breath as she forced herself to stay vertical.
This is what I get for getting out of the plane.
Hobbling uncomfortably, she pressed on. The wind blew again and she found herself pulling the DOMO beanie over her ears and Jack's extra pair of goggles over her eyes.
Jeeze, does it have to be so cold? She thought right as she heard voices; they were unfamiliar until she heard her cousin speak.
"I'm NOT a MOMMA'S BOY!" he bellowed. Picking up her pace, Jaqulin ignored the pain as she followed the voices.
The oddest thing in the world greeted her vision.
There were six people in a group standing below Jack who was using his heli-pack at the moment. That wasn't what confused her; a green lizard thing was sitting on the shoulder of the tallest of the six people. She only had a moment to stare at the scene when suddenly she found her cousin landing right beside her.
"What are you doing out of the jet?" he asked.
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay," she told him lamely. In all honesty, she found herself not liking the contraption and felt claustrophobic. But she wasn't going to tell Jack that.
Suddenly both cousins turned to the sound of someone talking to them.
"I didn't know Jack had a twin!" a short Asian kid said.
"It doesn't matter, they still won't find the Wu before we do," the tallest said. With his hat and Southern drawl, Jaqulin could have sworn that the guy was a cowboy.
Maybe he is, she thought, after all, he does resemble the guy that Jack told me about. Suddenly something caught her attention from the corner of her eye. She turned to look at it at the same time everyone else did.
Sitting in a pile of snow was the Shen Gong Wu. Everything happened so quickly after that moment that Jaqulin didn't realize what she got into until Jack and another Xiaolin Dragon yelled.
"GONG-YI TEMPAI!"
A/N: Well, I do believe that this is the longest "chapter" I've done so far in this story. Hope you enjoyed. Also, for those wondering what temperature -18 degrees Celsius is in Ferenheit, it's about -0.4 degrees.
