Chapter 15

A Day in Town

The next morning Selina got ready for the day. She pulled on a short-sleeved light blue shirt. Then went over to her closet and pulled out dark blue shorts. She put them on and then brushed her hair out. She looked at her self in the mirror and smiled. Then she grabbed her watch and put it on. Finally she slipped on comfortable light blue sandals. Then she left her room and went down the hall to the dining room.

Everyone stared at Selina when she entered the room because she had a big smile on her face and looked happier. She entered and exclaimed, "Hey guys! How's it going?"

"Ummm...Good. You… uh… seem better than last night." Clay said.

"Yeah, I am!"

"Is there a reason why?" Kimiko asked.

Selina shrugged her shoulders and said, "No, not really." Then she walked over to her seat and sat down. All throughout breakfast Selina had a far off look in her eyes.

After breakfast Raimundo found her in the garden meditating. He walked over to her and opened his mouth to say something but closed it and decided to leave so that he wouldn't disturb her. Raimundo turned his back on her and was about to leave when he heard a voice behind him say, "Don't go Raimundo, your presence is very comforting."

He turned around and saw Selina still sitting on the ground but with her big brown eyes gazing intently into his own green eyes. A few minutes later Selina got up, her eyes never leaving Raimundo's in the process.

"Raimundo," Selina uttered, "Was there something you wanted to ask me?"

"Yeah, there was. I was just wondering whether you wanted to go to the town with me. I asked everyone else but they're busy and well… I'm slightly bored."

A smile graced Selina's face as she looked at Raimundo and said, "Ok. I'd really like to go to the town with you, besides I was slightly bored myself."

"Great!" Raimundo exclaimed. "I'll met you by the temple gates in ten minutes, ok?"

"Ok."

"Oh, and Master Fung wants us back by noon or else we'll get grounded, ok?"

"Ok."

Ten minutes later

"Are you ready to go, Selina?" Raimundo asked.

"Yes, I'm ready." Selina responded

"Great! Then let's go." Raimundo said.

"Ummm…Raimundo how exactly were you planning on getting us there?"

Raimundo looked at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes and said, "Don't worry. I going to use my element to get us down there."

"What!" Selina exclaimed. "You have got to be kidding me."

"Nope," Raimundo said, "I'm not."

Selina groaned under her breath as she realized exactly how Raimundo was going to do that.

Raimundo went up behind her and said, "Are you ready?"

Selina turned her head around slightly and muttered, "As ready as I'll ever be."

"Great." Raimundo said.

He slid his arms around Selina's waist and said, "Wudai Star Wind."

Selina felt them going up in the air. She looked down at the scenery below her, and her breath got caught in her throat as she saw how beautiful it was.

About thirty minutes later Raimundo landed on the edge of town. He lowered his head down and whispered in her ear, "Did you enjoy the ride?"

Selina turned around in Raimundo's arms and said with a smile on her face, "It was breath taking."

Raimundo smiled and said, "Good, I was hoping that it would be."

Selina smiled again before she asked, "So Raimundo what do you want to do first?"

Raimundo let his hands fall from her back and he said, "Well I was thinking that perhaps we could just browse around the shops."

Selina smiled and said, "That sounds great."

Raimundo and Selina entered the town together and started to window shop. They saw clothes stores, and shoe stores, video stores, and jewelry stores. They were passing by a theater when Selina's eyes lit up. She grabbed Raimundo's hand pulled him over to where the theater was. She looked at the movies that were playing and turned to Raimundo and asked, "Hey Rai, Have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean 2?"

He looked at her and said, "No, Why?"

"Great." She dragged him to the ticket counter and bought two tickets for Pirates of the Caribbean 2. They entered the movie theater and bought gummi worms, Woppers, Starbursts, and two large sodas. Two hours later Raimundo and Selina left the movie theater chuckling. They talked about the movie and laughed at the funny parts in it. Selina glanced down at her watch and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! It's 11:30. We need to get back to the temple or else Master Fung will kill us."

"You're right. Don't worry. We'll get back in time."

31 Minutes Later

Raimundo and Selina walked through the temple gates and right into Master Fung. "You're late." He said.

Raimundo hung his head and said, "Yeah I know. But it wasn't Selina's fault that we were late. I really wanted to see Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and I dragged Selina along with me without bothering to see if we had enough time to see it."

"I see." Master Fung said, "Well in that case your punishment Raimundo will be to hand scrub the Grand Halls tonight. As for Selina I will excuse her this time but the next time you two are late, you will both be grounded no matter whose fault it is.

"Yes, Master Fung, I understand." Raimundo said humbly.

"Good, Now go have some lunch."

"Okay."

Raimundo walked passed Master Fung with his head to the ground. Selina followed him also hanging her head in shame. When they were out of earshot of Master Fung, Selina raised her head to look at Raimundo and asked, "Why did you take the blame? You knew it was my fault that we were late."

"I know. It's just I didn't think that you should get blamed for it. Firstly it was MY idea to go to town. And secondly you're new here and you're trying to redeem yourself for your past and I don't think something like this will be good for you."

"Really, Raimundo. You care about me that much to take the blame for something that I did?" Selina asked with tears stating to form in her eyes."

"Yeah," Raimundo said, "Besides it's really no big deal, I'm known for being the prankster here."

"Really?" Selina asked.

"Really." Raimundo answered.

After that the two walked in silence holding each other's hand until they got to the dining room. They walked in and immediately went to where they sat. They ate their lunch in silence. After lunch they walked to the garden and started to talk about the most random things. When dinner came they ate it in silence as well.

After dinner Raimundo left to go hand scrub the Grand Halls. Selina saw him do that and felt very guilty. About ten minutes after Raimundo had started, Selina approached Raimundo and kneeled down to help. Raimundo looked at her with a questioning glance and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm helping you, Raimundo. I feel so guilty for you taking the blame that I feel obligated to help."

Raimundo smiled and said, "Okay."

The two scrubbed in silence, but sometimes one of them would crack a joke and they would laugh very hard because of it. Finally they finished at 11:00 at night. The two tumbled to their rooms exhausted and collapsed onto their beds to sleep. The last thing that Selina thought of before she slept was Raimundo. And the last thing Raimundo thought of before he slept was Selina.
