Me: (runs back) I'm back!

Kimiko: I'm here.

Me: no you're not. This is lead cast only. (Throws Kimiko out the window)

Kimiko: (outside all mangled) (twitch)

Clay: Am I allowed?

Me: oh fine. Your not to annoying. And your one of the main character's friends. Now lets just hope Jack and Raimundo are ready.

Last time on Xiaolin Affairs…

"I accept your challenge" Raimundo said

"Great" Jack said………..

"GON YI TOMPAI!" they each cried and the showdown begun.

Now we start chapter 9…

"Well doesn't this look familiar?" Raimundo asked remembering when Jack and Omi played truth or lie in a showdown after an attempt for jack to be good.

"Sure it does" Jack said. "Now let's just get rolling. Alicia isn't going to last long."

"What do you mean?" He asked and looked over by Alicia. "She looks fine to me."

"That's what you think. I forgot the most important part. Every other question the cadge goes an inch smaller. So we got to get her out before she is squished." Jack explained.

"WHAT!!!" Alicia screamed.

"Oops I almost forgot to tell you that didn't I? Sorry." Jack said.

Why in the world would he apologize? Raimundo thought. Unless…

"Jack C'mon lets go!" Rai urged. Jack looked over.

"What? Oh yeah sure. I picked it I think that means you start." Jack said sitting down on one of his balloons.

"Alright, do you like anybody?"

"Truth" Jack said and the balloon confirmed it. "Same question"

"Truth" Raimundo said and the balloon confirmed it. Hmm... He may throw the same questions back a lot so I shouldn't ask too much. He thought for a second when suddenly Alicia's cadge grew a little smaller. She shrieked a little. "Did you ever want to stay good instead of just mooch off us?" he asked as his last resort.

"Lie" Jack replied and the balloon popped. Jack jumped onto the nearest balloon so he was safe. Alicia looked confused. "Have you ever wanted to be evil or was it just because you weren't as good as the others?" Jack asked as a smirk rose on his face. Raimundo's eyes popped out for a second like he had been punched and he looked down.

"Truth" he choked and the balloon confirmed.

"You were evil?" Alicia asked.

"Yes, it was a little while ago. I'll tell you about it later when we go home." He said.

"That is if you are." Jack said

"You bet I am" Raimundo said. If I hit him hard enough with a question maybe I can knock him out, but he will throw it back tenfold. His thoughts raced in his head. "A question or two ago I asked if you liked anyone and you said truth, do we by chance know her?" he asked.

"Lie" he answered and the balloon popped. Jack jumped onto a balloon and slipped and was now holding on for dear life. "Same question." Hahahahaha I have him now, Jack thought,

Oh shoot! I can't tell him. Well there was that girl I used to like and I still do a little. But then it might be considered a lie. But I must.

"Truth" he said and it confirmed.

"I wonder who it is" Kimiko asked Clay. He shrugged. At that second Alicia's cadge grew a little smaller.

"Could you two just hurry it up? I am getting a little claustrophobic here!" Alicia cried out.

"Just one minute." Raimundo muttered to himself and thought for a second. I got it. If he says lie I will win and if he says lie he give me the same question and I'll be in some trouble. He thought and took a deep breath. "Is it a xiaolin warrior?" he asked. Jack paled (a/n: well paler than he usually looked.)

"Lie." He said and the balloon popped. Jack was without a single balloon in reach and he fell down. Raimundo and the others laughed except for Alicia who was too squished to do anything. The showdown ended and Raimundo had the Achilles heel, jetbootsu and shroud of shadows in hand. Alicia was out of the cadge. She ran over to Raimundo and hugged him.

"You did it! I am no longer in the cadge and I am still a xiaolin monk" she cried and hugged tighter. Jack looked at her a few feet away. Wuya floated over and started to yell at him.

"What was wrong with you? You lost more of my shen gon wu!" she said scolding more and more. Jack looked at her sternly.

"Shut up." He said monotone and started to fly away. A tear streamed down his face. I am such and idiot. How could I have lost? It would have been perfect if I won. Alicia looked up from the others smiling and laughing. She saw the figure of Jack leaving. She was shaken off the thought with Raimundo's laugh,.

"Good job" Clay said.

"Thanks" Raimundo said smiling.

"Where did you get the questions from anyway?" Kimiko asked.

"I don't know." Raimundo answered with a little white lie.

"Whatever you did it was great." Alicia said. "But on a side note, is your little crush a xiaolin monk?" Raimundo looked over to her.

"Why should I tell you?" he asked going a little pink.

"Of course." She said with a smile. "All that matters is I am still here!" she said hugging him again. Dojo went onto Clay's shoulder.

"Well we better get going before master Fung wonders what happened to us." Dojo said and jumped down gaining size. All five of the others went on and flew off. Alicia fell asleep on Raimundo's lap. After an hour they all flew back and Raimundo carried Alicia into her room and tucked her in. Raimundo walked away to meet up with the other three.

"That was some day" Omi said.

"You can say that again" Kimiko said.

"That was some day" Omi repeated.

"It was an expression" Raimundo said.

"But Omi is right. We have yet to do a kidnapping rescue and wu fight with a life on the line." Clay said and the others nodded.

"Let's hope it doesn't happen everyday." Kimiko said with a yawn "I think I am going to follow Alicia and get to bed." She walked off and Omi soon followed. Clay chuckled and looked at Raimundo.

"What?" he asked a little confused.

"You. I knew it." He said.

"What?" He asked.

"You like her don't you?" Clay asked.

"Who?"

"Alicia?" Raimundo nodded slightly. "Knew it" he said to himself. "I think Jack likes her too." He said

"As if I didn't know. You think Alicia does?"

"No. Don't tell her until you tell Alicia how you feel or it might be trouble." Clay said. "We better hit the hay or we are going to be more tired than an animal after hibernation" (a/n: told you I was bad at clay and his clayisims) Rai nodded and went to bed.

Me: The end of chapter 9!

Rai: And I won! Ha!

Jack: (gloom)

Me: sorry jack but it was under special request. (Yes I read reviews for help)

Jack: (more gloom)

Rai: get over it.

Me: don't be a sour winner Rai

Rai: (pout)

Me: well see you all next chapter!

Clay: (waves goodbye to everyone AKA you fellow readers -.-)
