Me: And we are back with yet another chapter!

Clay: Chapter 10

Rai and Jack: ten chapters?

Me: yes ten chapters! I am so happy I have made this many! And I only started a little while ago too!

Rai: you should go to the chapter!

Me: right! Now were up to chapter 10!!!

The next morning Alicia rolled out of her mat/ bed thing about ten in the morning. She got up and stretched sleepily. She walked out and down the hall. She looked into Raimundo's room to find he was still asleep. Alicia got an idea and pounced on top of him. He yelped.

"What!" he yelled unaware of his surroundings just yet.

"Hi." she said. "Sorry I had to." She said with a laugh. Raimundo grumbled and got up.

"You know I don't know if anyone told you but I am more of a crack of noon person" he said sleepily

"You don't know the half of it." Alicia said. They both walked down to the kitchen slowly to find the other three eating breakfast.

"Well lookie here. Rai's up before 10:30 congratulations" Kimiko said clapping.

"Ha ha very funny. I would have slept later if someone hadn't attacked me in my sleep" Raimundo said glaring at Alicia. The others laughed.

"That's great!" Clay said laughing. Alicia bowed.

"Thank You! You've been a great crowd!" Alicia said pretending to bow. "But really. I could not have pulled this without my lovely assistant Raimundo." Omi just sat there wondering what was going on at the time as the others laughed. After a minute of making fun of Rai, Alicia and Rai sat down. The five ate breakfast and Master Fung came in. He waved cheerfully.

"Finish your breakfast and then come see me in the garden for your duties." He instructed and he walked off.

"After our instructions for the day who shall be washing the dishes? I did it three days ago" Omi asked.

"I did it yesterday." Clay announced

"Two days ago." Kimiko replied.

"I have no clue" Raimundo said

"What? Oh right never did it here" Alicia said regaining some of her attention span. Alicia did not have much to offer either way.

"Alicia and Rai you two should wash the dishes then" Clay suggested giving a quick smirk to Raimundo.

"Sure" Alicia said. Rai just nodded.

"Well then let's go. We should not leave Master Fung in the dirt." Omi said.

"That's leave him in the dust" Kimiko replied.

"That too!" Omi said and the five of them walked to the garden. Master Fung was sitting on the bench with various cleaning supplies. Everyone sighed except for Alicia who had no clue what was going on because A, this is only her second day and B, her attention span was too small to care in the mornings.

"Do we have to?" Kimiko asked.

"Yeah, it's so annoying" Raimundo.

"I will make it easier on the account of our new student. One chore per person. I shall let you decide what chore is for whom." Master Fung said. Alicia piped in.

"Does washing the dishes count?"

"If you do it for every meal yes." He replied. Alicia ad Raimundo smiled. The others picked their chore. Mopping for Clay, dusting for Omi (he was small enough to go into the cracks) and sweeping for Kimiko. They all walked away to do their chores.

"We got lucky" Raimundo said.

"Yeah. If we are fast enough we can hang out a little before lunch." Alicia said walking inside and into the kitchen. "You'll wash and I'll dry?" she suggested.

"Sounds good to me." He replied walking over to the sink running some warm water. Alicia grabbed a dish towel and stood next to a drying rack. Raimundo handed the wet dish to Alicia.

"So, you never answered my question last night after the showdown." She began. "Or the question during it."

"I'll answer the one during now and the one after the showdown later." Raimundo said handing her a dish.

"Alright. You've wanted to be evil?"

"Yes, sadly I have" Raimundo said looking down

"Why" Alicia asked confused.

"I don't know. I guess with lack of attention when I was small made me want to act out and such. Or even to be different in a way"

"Lack of attention?"

"5 brothers, 4 sisters" Raimundo replied matter-of-factly

"Ouch. Only child and proud of it."

"Oh. That's nice. "

"Hey we only have two more dishes left." Alicia said looking at the sink.

"That's great"

"I guess time really does fly when you're having fun."

"Yeah." Raimundo said grabbing for another dish only to grab air. "We are done." He said wiping his soapy hands. "C'mon. Let's go." He said pulling her. They walked off to the front of the temple on the steps and sat down.

"So tell me the truth. As if you were atop that balloon thing once again, is it a xiaolin warrior?" Alicia asked Staring at him. Raimundo looked to the ground. He mumbled something that was hard to understand. "Come again?" she asked. He stated it a little louder but not enough. "A little bit louder please." Raimundo cupped his hands around her ears and whispered

"Truth" Alicia was a little bit in shock. Could it be me? No of course not. Probably Kimiko or something. Her thoughts danced. "Could you tell me if it is Kimiko?" Alicia asked.

With Kimiko

A few minutes ago…

Kimiko was busy sweeping a porch when she saw Raimundo and Alicia going out and to the gate talking. I wonder what they're up to. She thought and quietly followed them. She started to listen on their conversation when she heard her name.

Back with the other two.

"Well is it?" Alicia asked. Raimundo looked at her. It feels so weird to tell her strait out. He thought. Let's just hope this idea works. Raimundo leaned in and kissed her cheek lightly. He was the one that went a little red actually. Alicia looked at him. "Me?" she asked a little confused and he nodded. Kimiko was watching and quietly ran off.

"Did you hear something?" Raimundo asked veering off the topic.

"No." Alicia said "But really you do?" she asked back on track.

"Yes" He said. Alicia kissed him back.

"You're too sweet." She said when all the sudden she heard someone call out lunch and together they ran off and back to the kitchen.

Me: Ten is finished! With a little romance too! How kawaii!

Clay: Kawaii?

Raimundo: it means cute

Clay: right.

Jack: I'll never win!

Me: what did I say l a few chapters ago! I may change it up. You never know how it is going to end. Like before it was you and Alicia now it's a little Alicia and Raimundo. Man it feels weird saying Alicia over and over.

Clay: what do you mean?

Jack: you're so oblivious, Alicia is her name!

Clay: right, and don't call me oblivious!

Me: see you all next chapter!
