"WHY ARE YOU SO SELFISH?!"

"I'm selfish?! How can you change your look everyday?!"

"DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT! I'M STILL MAD AT YOU!"

"I can hear that! Why don't you go back to that big fancy house that you always brag about, techno geek!"

"WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO THAT HUT YOU GREW UP IN YOU CIRCUS FREAK!"

They meant it. Every poisoning word that passes through the air. Never once have their fights ever escalate into this. Hurtful words exchanged and avoidance of eye contact. But that didn't mean they regretted it. They did. They were closer than anyone else at the temple and to come down to this was only a matter of time. Emotions were high and tearful yells were the only thing heard. Nobody wouldn't be surprised if the Americans on the other side of world heard them.

And to think it only started with a simple confession of the heart. He told her how much she meant to him and she took it the wrong way. At first, she thought it was another one of his jokes. A simple prank. But when he gave that serious look, that's when all hell broke loose. Harsh words let out and their pent up anger let out. By the end, they left with pounding heads and reddened cheeks.

They say broken things can always be fixed. But when the bond between two great friends is shattered, there's no way back. The only way to fix it is to say sorry and move on. Easier said then done. Whatever that's happening to them, it can only be between them, as Master Fung would put it. But unbeknownst to the quartet, their fight was affecting the entire group. How they work together and how they could hold as a team.

But that's the funny thing with fights. They are like a virus. The idea planted in their heads and soon spread to everything around them until the whole is broken. You could say this was the downfall of the Xiaolin and the Heylin prevails. When the final battle comes, it depends on the wrought out foursome. If only they knew that they were the world's last hope for balance. But the two that started it are too stubborn to forgive and forget.

This can't happen, he thought. Being leader, he knows he has to do something. It's either the fall of evil or the fall of the greatest friendship.
