Author's Note: Okay guys, this is kind of a new story, but all the same characters! You'll find out a bit more about Lupe and Noname in this story. Now, the reason I have this little insert is because this vacation week story was originally written by my friend .Assassin, who gave me permission to edit, post, and continue this story since she kinda stopped in the middle. So thank her for this!

"C'mon guys," Lupe begged. "We wouldn't even have to pay since my parents let my friends and I stay for free."

The group of Xiaolin monks had just successfully found yet another of the Shen-Gong-Wu near Barcelona, Spain, where Lupe had grown up.

They were flying on Dojo's back when Lupe suggested that they take a week vacation at her family's hotel. Everyone was okay with it, but nobody knew if they were allowed to.

"Well…I do not know…" Omi said. "I am not sure if Master Fung would be alright with us taking such a vacation so far from the temple."

"I actually asked him before we left, when I figured out we were going to Spain," Lupe said quickly, anticipating Omi's worry. "He said it would be okay as long as we all agreed on it. So what do you say? The hotel has comfy beds, a complimentary breakfast buffet every morning, large heated indoor and outdoor pools with a waterslide, a beautiful beach, and a day spa. It'll be fun!" Lupe exaggerated all of the luxuries, trying to persuade the group.

"Well, I agree," Raimundo nodded and smiled. "It'll be nice to sleep in a normal bed for a week, and not that stupid mat."

"I'm with you too, partner," Clay agreed. "It'll be mighty nice to have a break from all that training."

"I'm in too," Kimiko chimed in with a wink. "That day spa sounds pretty good."

"Oh, alright," Omi said. "I have never been to a hotel before. Is it like the temple, or maybe a castle? It sounds very fancy."

Raimundo laughed, giving Omi a little bonk on the head, "No, chrome-dome, it's a big building that has a bunch of small or medium sized rooms."

Kimiko popped her head over Raimundo's shoulder, "People rent out and stay in the rooms for a night or more. They're pretty common. Don't worry about it; you'll see when we get there."

"Yay!" Lupe cheered, getting off of the subject of explaining what a hotel was to Omi. "So it's agreed?"

"One question…" Raimundo interrupted. "What about our stuff?"

"Yeah, it's not like we packed before we came here," Kimiko said. "You know I don't wear the same outfit two days in a row."

"That's where I come in," Dojo smirked. "I knew you guys wouldn't be able to resist a week vacation, so I took the liberty of packing for you!"

The five Xiaolin monks cheered as Dojo flew down and landed in front of a large hotel. Every one climbed off and Dojo shrunk down to original size. He shook his head a little and a bunch of tiny suitcases fell out of his ear and onto the ground. Kimiko took out the Changing Chopsticks from her back pack and made the suitcases change back to normal size.

Everyone grabbed their suitcases, checked in, and headed towards their rooms.

The boys (Raimundo, Clay, and Omi) got a large room with two beds and a couch that folded out into a bed. Raimundo and Clay each got a normal bed and Omi got the couch-bed.

"Ah…this is sweet," Raimundo said as he immediately plopped down on the bed closest to the large window that overlooked the beach.

"You got that right, partner," Clay said as he set his suitcase down on the other bed. "That was mighty nice of Lupe to do this for us."

"I agree, my friend Clay," Omi said as he struggled to fold out the couch-bed. "This hotel is much different than I had imagined, although it is still very nice."

"Here little buddy, let me help you out," Clay said as he folded out the couch bed for Omi. "We certainly owe Lupe one."

"One what?" Omi asked obliviously, tilting his head

"It's an expression, Omi," Raimundo said, slightly annoyed at the small monk.

The girls got a small room with two beds next to the guy's room.

"Wow this is amazing!" Kimiko said as she set her suitcase down by the bed nearest to the door and looked out the window with a view of the beach. "I definitely owe you one."

"No thanks are necessary," Lupe smiled as she set her suitcase on the other bed. "I just thought it would be a good idea to have a week off to get to know each other, since I'm still pretty new to the group. Maybe once everyone is settled we can grab the boys and go down to the pool!"

"That sounds awesome!" Kimiko said.
