Me: I updated…

Rai: Yep…

GIR: Sarah doesn't own Xiaolin Showdown, Congratulations Smack and Katy by Reggie & the Full Effect, Kimi, Lee, and Kathy…but she does own Sarah…

-----------------

Raimundo's POV:

I yawned and stretched when I woke up the next morning. I felt something small in my lap. I looked down and saw Muffin-cake sleeping like a…well…kitten. I looked in front of me and saw Sarah in a tight beige spaghetti strapped shirt, warm orange bubble skirt, and beige sneakers. Her hair was put into a pony tail.

"Hi…" I smiled.

"Uh…good morning…" she sat down.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"I…uh…I don't know…I was just, well in the mood to see you…" she stared at the floor.

"I know, I'm hot," I grinned.

"You should really wait for the complements," she giggled.

"So…uh…aight…wanna…I don't know…make out?" I asked nervously.

"It's your birthday, so…um…yeah…" she scooted next to me and we leaned into each other slowly.

"Rai-wai! Time for breakfast! It's your favorite…BACON AND EGGS!" Maria shouted.

"I'm a little busy here, Maria!" I backed away from Sarah, and stood up, making my covers fall off.

"What's she doing here? I thought you liked Kimiko, and don't say you don't or, you will get the worst beating ever!" Maria threatened.

"I like her as a friend, always and forever, okay?" I helped Sarah up, but she was so busy looking at my six-pack, that she probably didn't know what was going on.

"I'm leaving to tell mommy that you won't love Kimiko!" Maria ran off.

"Like what you see? Because what you see, you can have," I smirked.

"Huh? What? Oh…um…maybe…" Sarah was sorta nervous.

"I'm your boyfriend, right?" I asked.

"I thought we were just going out on a onetime date thing…but I would love to be your girlfriend," Sarah glanced back at my six-pack.

"Really, well, let's start off where we were last…we were about to make out…so…" we sat down and leaned in slowly, again.

"Raimundo!" Omi ran into my room thing.

"What?" in a flash, Sarah and I were backed away from each other.

"Breakfast, now!" Omi shouted and left.

"Darnit!" I whispered to myself.

Sarah gave me a small kiss on the lips and left the room to get breakfast.

Kimiko's POV:

"Hi, Sarah," I smiled sitting down at the table next to where Rai was going to sit. Clay was sitting across from me.

"Kimiko, Rai told me that Omi was sittin' there," Clay said.

"But, I want to sit next to Rai!" I whined.

"I think if you won't agree that you'll have to sit on the other side of the table of Rai," Sarah pointed to the other head off the table.

"Fine, anything for Rai," I got up and went to the other side of the table.

"Thanks, Clay," Sarah sat in the seat I was just in.

"Well, what are friends for," Clay smiled at her.

"Hey," Rai walked in in his shen-gong-wu hunting outfit.

"Hi, Rai," I looked down a my emerald green skirt and dark brown long sleeved shirt, and dark brown high socks, and emerald green tennis shoes. My hair was its normal way, but with emerald green highlights.

"Howdy," Clay smiled. He was in his cowboy outfit.

"Oh, hello," Omi was in his robes.

"Hi," Kimi was in a light pink T-shirt, blue jeans, and black flip-flops.

"Hey," Haley was in a green T-shirt, black jeans, and blue flip-flops.

"Hi," Kathy was in a purple T-shirt, kakis, and white tennis shoes.

"Hey," Sarah smiled.

"Hey, Sarah," Rai sat down.

"Rai-wai, I want you to sit next to Kimi-kim!" Maria whined when she sat down next to Kathy.

"But I want to sit next to Clay, and Sarah got here first, so what you want can't be true," Rai smiled.

"I SAT THERE BEFORE THAT BITCH!" I yelled across the table.

"Kimiko! That is horrible language to use in front of children!" Mrs. Pedrosa hit me in the back of the head.

"Yes, Kimiko. No cake for you!" Mr. Pedrosa sat down next to Maria.

"But-" I began.

"No buts, be a good role model, like Sarah, or Kathy, or Kimi, maybe even Lee! Just don't be yourself! Especially because you completely got us off guard! Our children don't need that trash! They get enough of it from Raimundo!" Mrs. Pedrosa put scrambled eggs on everybody's plates.

"Yes, ma'am…" I began to put food in my mouth.

"Don't eat until we say the blessing!" Mr. Pedrosa hit my hand.

"Yes, sir," I dropped my fork and crossed my arms over my chest and pouted.

After Mrs. Pedrosa finished putting out the bacon and biscuits, she sat down and looked at Rai.

"What?" he said.

"You are a man now, which means, you lead the blessings," his father smiled.

"Uh…sure…Dear Lord, please bless this food, Amen?" he said quickly.

"Good enough," his father sighed.

"Yes!" Rai began to stuff his face.

"He could do better," Marso yawned.

"So what! It's not like you're a woman!" Rai said with a mouth full of food.

"Rai, just forget about it," Sarah said.

"You're right," Rai gulped down his food and smiled at Sarah.

"Yeah, she's always right," I whispered to myself.

"What was that?" Kimi asked, looking over to me.

"Nothing," I ate as much as I could and waited for everyone else to finish.

"Okay, everybody's done," Mrs. Pedrosa smiled, "You may leave to do whatever you do here."

Rai and Sarah walked down the hallway next to each other, while I stayed at the table and watched them grab each other's hand.

"What's wrong, Kimiko, are you angry that I snapped at you?" Mrs. Pedrosa asked.

"No, it's just, Rai doesn't like me," I looked at my place matt.

"I thought you were best friends?" Mrs. Pedrosa sat down next to me.

"Not like that, I mean, like-like me," I twirled some of my hair with my finger.

"Who told you that?"

"Kimi said that when she got here, she heard Rai talking to Clay about the way he felt about me…he thinks of me as a friend, he used to like-like me, but he said I was way out of his league…" I wiped a tear from my eye.

"Don't worry, we have a tradition, when a boy becomes a man, he has to kiss a girl, but he'll be blind folded, and the girls will be shuffled around. It's sorta like spin the bottle, he doesn't know about it yet, and only the girls not related to him are allowed, so, we're glad your cousin and her friends came.

"I hope it's me," I said walking down the hallway.

"Bye," Mrs. Pedrosa went the other way.

Sarah's POV:

Rai pushed me against the wall and began to lean in. I could feel his breath on my lips. He pressed his lips against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck, slowly, to treasure the moment. He wrapped his arms around my waist, slowly as well. It felt like everything else just slowly melted away. The noises of Rai's siblings fighting. The sounds of Clay and Omi playing war. The whispers that were exchanged from my friends to the others. The foot steps Kimiko made when she walked by. It just melted away.

We broke apart for air and stared into each other's eyes, "Sarah, I-I, uh, I…" Rai began, but was cut off.

"Shen-gong-wu, people!" Dojo yelled.

"Crap," Rai whispered.

I kissed Rai sweetly on the lips and went back to my room to get a backpack.

When I came back everyone was arguing on who was going with who.

"I have an idea," I said.

Everyone stopped fighting and looked at me.

"Okay, who can drive what?" I asked.

"Omi can drive the tunnel armadillo, I can drive the crouching cougar and the flying manta ray, so that's it, 'cause Dojo drives himself," Rai said.

"Okay, I think it might not be that hard to drive the crouching cougar or flying manta ray, so Kimiko, you drive the cougar, while Clay drives the ray," I smiled.

"That's a great start!" Rai smiled.

"Okay, how much does each one hold?" I asked.

"Four each," Rai said.

"That's sixteen people, and we have twenty-one…five will have to stay behind.

"We'll stay," Rai's brothers said.

"I'll stay, too," Mrs. Pedrosa smiled.

"I think I'll stay, too, don't want to get in the way," Mr. Pedrosa said.

"Okay, so that's only fourteen people going," I said.

"So who rides where?" Andrea asked.

"Okay, Andrea, Amelia, and Regla go with Kimiko. Kathy, Kimi, and Lee will go with Clay. Marso, Aimee, and Maria will be with Omi, and I will go with Rai," I smiled.

"Let's go!" Dojo set off into the sky.

"Whoa," I almost lost my balance.

"Let me help you," Rai wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Thanks," I smiled.

"Next stop, the artic," Dojo said.

"What?" I wanted to turn back around and change into something warmer.

"I'll help keep you warm," Rai whispered in my ear.

"Thanks," I whispered back.

"Here we are," Dojo landed, as well as everyone else. The people on the cougar went down the tunnel the armadillo made.

"It's c-co-c-cold," I shivered.

"I said I'll keep you warm," Rai whispered in my ear. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him.

"I c-co-could d-di-d-die," I shivered.

Dojo changed into a sweater and I slipped him on over my head, keeping me a little bit warmer.

Kimi, Lee, and Kathy pulled their arms into their shirts, so they weren't as cold. Kimiko wasn't even affected. Omi and Clay weren't either. And as I mention this, Rai was the only one in his family not shivering…how weird is that?

"Rai," my stuttering stopped, "why aren't you cold?"

"I'm the dragon of the wind, I like it cold," Rai held me closer. "But I'll do anything to make you warm."

"That way," Dojo made my arm point towards the water.

"It's in there?" I shivered.

"Good thing I have the gills of hamagi," Rai smiled holding me tighter every second.

As everyone argued on who was going into the water, I escaped Rai's grasp…damn, did he have a grip…and I went over to the water, but I took off Dojo, because he was arguing, too…and besides, he was itchy…I looked into the water, and saw a few ripples. I put my finger in the water, and it wasn't just cold, my finger got tangled up in something. I tried to get my finger out, and when I did, someone's head came out of the water and smiled at me…you could figure out I was probably scared, but it was more amazing then scary…

"Hi, I'm Dyirus, what's your name?" she held up a hand out of the water so I could shake it.

"I'm Sarah," I grabbed her hand and I felt like I wasn't myself anymore…

"Sucker," I felt someone pull something out of my hand…when I looked at them, it was…me?

"What?" I looked at myself…I was in the water now…I had curly hair…I had…a tail?

"Now, you're Dyirus…last mermaid ever. Look out for Klofang, he might kill you," she laughed a little and walked back to everybody, "I have the shen-gong-wu."

"Wow, Sarah, you're awesome!" Rai gave her a hug. I missed the way Rai hugged me…

"I know," she got up on a now super sized Dojo and she flew off with everyone else following them…

"Dyirus, you evil mermaid, I'm glad you actually showed your face, now it'll be easier to kill you," an ugly guy said.

"Bye," I went under water and began to swim for my life. I went under Orcas (Killer Whales for cruel peoples), Humpbacks, and a variety of fish and cute little seals, until I got to warmer waters…I kept swimming until I ended up near the shores of a country. I swam up towards it and climbed out of the ocean…my tail turned into a pair of legs…I was now wearing long baggy pants, it looked like the tail, with the side belt thing, but it was comfortable cloth.

"Hi, I'm Roger," a boy said in a British accent.

"I'm Dyirus. Am I in England?" I asked.

"No, the shores of Florida," he said without an accent.

"Whoa, I've been swimming for a long time," I said, getting down on my knees.

"Well, you are the most beautiful fish out of water I've ever seen," he smiled, he had carrot colored hair, blue eyes, and he was a little muscular…he had pale skin, and he had a censer smile…I loved it...what? But I'm with Rai…well Dyirus is…but I should be with him…GAH!

"I need to rest," I said trying to get up.

"You can stay at my place," he helped me up and we walked over to a nice house by the beach.

"Once you're done resting, all you have to do is keep walking in the opposite direction we took to get here until you see a dance club, it isn't that far away, and my parents own it, so hope you rest up well, see you there!" he left out the door.

I lied down on the couch and stared at the ceiling. I was stuck in Florida…I thought about my friends…my sister…my friend's cousin and her friends…my boyfriend…they were probably falling for Dyirus' tricks…why was I so foolish…I think my sister might smell something funny…or maybe Kimi or Lee…gosh…this might get Rai and Kimiko together…this isn't good…

Dyirus' POV:

We were flying over the ocean…and Rai had his arms around me…I guess Sarah and him shared something…perfect…

"Sarah, how'd ya get the wu?" he asked.

"I…umm…found it floating in the water," I held up the small cube…it was the brain-switcher (at least that's better than ants-in-the-pants)…it can switch two people's brains, once used, it can't be used again until the brains are back in the body they were in originally, or if the brains have been in those bodies for five months.

"Wow, well, I guess we have to lock that up…we don't want evil to trade brains with any of us," Rai began to nibble on my ear.

I giggled, "Yeah, that would be horrible."

"Certainly," Rai quickly kissed me on the check, and Dojo began to fly faster.

"Uh-oh, another shen-gong-wu, in Florida, okay," Dojo turned around, making the manta ray turn around, but how could everybody follow, when most of them were under ground?

"There," Dojo pointed to a dance club.

"Let's party," I laughed.

"We aren't here to party," Rai said.

"So," I whispered.

"Okay, we'll party after we get the shen-gong-wu," he whispered in my ear.

"You're the best," I whispered.

"Only the best deserves the best," he whispered even softer.

We landed and went in, it was called Roger's Playhouse…what a stupid name, but rockin' music…I started dancing to the beat, when some girl tapped me on the shoulder, "Sis, we are here for a shen-gong wu! Stop fooling around! That's my job!"

"Huh?" do I know her?

"Kathy's right, we have to start looking, even though we don't know what it is," said another girl.

"Yep, Kimi," Kimiko hugged the last girl who talked.

"Thanks, cuz," Kimi hugged her back.

"Well, let's start looking," said another girl.

"Right, Lee," Kathy smiled and went towards Dojo. "Which way is the shen-gong-wu?"

"It's in that crowd," Dojo pointed to the crowd.

"Okay," I took Dojo and scanned everybody that crossed my path to the wu.

"Wow, she probably knows what she's doing," Clay said.

"Why didn't I have that idea?" Omi said.

"That's 'think of that'," Rai said to Omi.

"My badness," Omi bowed.

"My 'bad'," Rai corrected again.

"There it is! In her hair? Isn't that…Dyirus? With legs?" Dojo pointed towards, well, me…

"Dyirus has legs?" Rai gasped.

"That's a bad thing?" Kimi walked up to Rai.

"Are you kidding, now she doesn't need boys to help her flood the planet, now she can just walk around and rule the planet," Kimiko said.

"She's pretty," Omi drooled.

"She's hot," Rai drooled, too.

"She's beautiful," Clay drooled, more than Omi and Rai's drool combined.

"Wow," every other guy here began to drool.

"Hey, Dyirus, over here," she turned around to face a boy with carrot colored hair.

"Hi, Roger," she ran over to him.

"So, are you better?" Roger asked, smiling.

"Yeah," she blushed.

"Why would she go for him, I'm way better looking!" Rai said.

I cleared my throat.

"Sorry," Rai whispered.

"You have nothing to be sorry about," Kimi said.

"Yeah, but that Roger guy is pretty cute," Kimiko said.

"I knew you would fall for him, he's probably rich," Rai said.

"No, it's his accent," I said.

"Sarah, not you, too!" Rai almost burst into tears.

"That's all that's special about him, he's faking a British accent, and no, I'm not falling for him," I smiled and faced Rai, who was now smiling.

"So, Dyirus…what do you want to request?" Roger asked her.

"Um…I don't know…maybe…uh…Congratulations Smack and Katy by Reggie & the Full Effect?" she smiled.

"Sure, the next song you here is going to be that song," Roger ran to some guy, who went to another, and so on and so on…so Rai just ran to the DJ, gave him five dollars and told him the song that Dyirus requested…he smiled and pulled out the record and put it on the spinner and dropped the needle on it…

Girl, where's your head full of lead?
Can't you see what you're doing to me?
Wipe that disgrace off your face
Look and see what you've done to me

Girl, you look bored
I wish everything about the danger wouldn't make you such a stranger
So what's the deal?
Don't you feel what i'm dealing with?
But it's alright

Girl, come on, I'll show you how to deal with this.
But not tonight.

Girl, you look bored
I wish everything about the danger wouldn't make you such a stranger
Hold me so close
I can tell you have the best intentions, one of those simple inventions
Never a dull situation, we could just stay on vacation

Never start an argument with you
Something I won't do

Girl, you look bored
I wish everything about the danger wouldn't make you such a stranger
Hold me so close
I can tell you have the best intentions, one of those simple inventions
Now that I have your attention

"Rai, did you request that song for me?" Kimiko had hearts in her eyes.

"Uh-" Rai began, but Maria cut in.

"Of course he did! Aren't you a hot head and one of those people that other people don't like making arguments with?" Maria smiled.

"Yes, and yes…so…Rai, you are the sweetest guy ever!" she kissed him on the cheek.

"Grr," I wanted to kill her.

"Don't worry, there are plenty more fish in the sea," Kimi patted my shoulder and smiled.

"I don't want to go back there," I whispered to myself.

"Dyirus," Rai went up to her, but she wasn't paying attention, she was sitting against the wall with her head on her knees, she hugged her legs close, too.

"Go away," she said.

"What? Fish have PMS or something?" Rai laughed.

Dyirus lifted her head and frowned. She looked like she didn't need this right now.

"Sorry about that crack," Rai sat down next to her.

"Leave me alone," she said.

"Wow, you don't want guys to be all over you for once," Rai scooted closer.

"UH!" she said. She stood up and walked away.

"Wow, major personality change," Kimiko said.

"It's like she's a totally different person," Kimi shivered.

"It's probably just PMS…for fish," Rai smiled.

Kathy, Kimi, Kimiko, and Lee wanted to kill Rai right now.

"WE'RE GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THAT!!" they yelled.

Rai covered his mouth.

"Wait till we get back to the temple, Rai made us loose the shen-gong-wu with his big mouth, so he'll have to tell Master Fung what happened," Maria laughed.

"Okay," everyone said…we all went back on our transportation vehicles and left for the temple.

When we got back, Rai told Master Fung what happened and went to his room to sleep it off…I just wish I knew why he did that…and why Kimiko couldn't hear that Dyirus was going to request that song that she heard…and why was Dyirus crying?

Rai's POV:

I was in an empty gym, practicing my punches and kicks on a large punching bag. I was in a black muscle shirt and dark blue shorts. I saw Sarah walk in. She was wearing a short flowy blue jean skirt and a tight white tank top. She lied down on the bench and she faced herself towards me. Some of her hair fell into her face.

"Hi," she whispered. It sounded like she was whispering in my ear.

I hit the bag hard and stared at her for a second, and the next thing I knew the bag swung back and knocked me down. Sarah walked up to me. I could see the fresh layer of lip gloss on her lips. She sat down and stared at me with concern. Then I sat up and smiled.

"I'm glad you're okay," she said smiling.

"Thanks," I said. I stood up, and so did Sarah. I began to walk to the dumbbells, but Sarah followed me. I turned around when I reached a corner and she was right up in my face. I gulped.

"Come on, you're making me fell like you've never seen me before," she pushed me against the wall and leaned in with her eyes shut. She gave me a passionate kiss. I could feel myself sliding down the wall. I closed my eyes. She was sitting in between my legs (Me: EWW! Doesn't that sound wrong???). I could feel her running her fingers through my hair. I could tell I was about to take off her shirt-

I woke up in my bed, "Five more minutes, Mommy."

"I'm glad you're right for once," I heard my mom's voice.

"Oh, did I sleep through the party again?" I said as I began to grab some new clothes.

"Actually, you really aren't having a party," she smiled.

I had a confused look on my face, "Then why'd ya say I was havin' a party yesterday?"

"It's a secret…but I bet you'll like this more than a party," she smiled.

"Is it a car?" I smiled.

"No," she frowned.

I frowned, too, "Then I think I won't like it."

She grabbed my arm and turned me around and put a blindfold on me. She pulled me out into the hall way, and I felt somebody pick me up and carry me somewhere. They tossed me in a room and pushed me against the wall, "Sweetie, stay here, and don't take off the blindfold," my mom said.

I stayed there standing.

Kimiko's POV:

I smiled. Kimi, Lee, Kathy, Sarah, and I were standing in a circle. Mrs. Pedrosa came up to us holding an empty plastic bottle. She put it in the middle and spun it. Sarah just sat down, while I traded spots with Kimi, then Lee, then Kathy, then Kimi again…soon the bottle began to slow down…it landed on Sarah!

Mrs. Pedrosa helped her up and walked her over to the closet, and opened the door. As soon as the door closed Mrs. Pedrosa locked it and let us leave…why couldn't it have been me?

-----------------

Me: CLIFFY!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAcoughhackcough…evil moment over…

Rai: Thank god…

GIR: R&R! FLAMES ALOUD!
