"C'mon Jack…please?" Noname gave Jack her best puppy-dog eyes. "It'll make you feel better."

Jack had lost yet another Xiaolin Showdown…and to Lupe. He had a crush on her for about a week until he figured out she wasn't interested in him at all. He still wasn't taking it well. Noname decided that a visit to Lupe's parent's hotel would help a bit.

"No," Jack said bluntly as he drove the Jack Car. "I don't want to."

"But I have a free pass for two that Lupe gave me for New Year's and it expires in a week!" Noname whined. "C'mon Jack! When's the next time we're gonna be in Barcelona, Spain? Huh?"

"Well…uh…" Jack knew Noname was doing it again. She was doing what she had done as a kid to make him play house with her; she did her 'Special Noname Whine'.

This was different than when Jack whined about something because Noname's whine actually worked. She had gotten him to not only play house when they were kids, but more recently she had gotten him to let her use his computer, help her bake cookies, and to play videogames with her. There was just something about her tone of voice that wasn't intimidating or annoying, but sad. He couldn't help but feel bad about denying what she wanted. Plus, it didn't help that Noname tended to add logic and excuses that just couldn't be argued with.

"Please Jack…?" Noname looked at him with her golden eyes, one eye covered by the bangs of her dark brown hair. "Just one week. Seven days. Then I'll do whatever you want for a week afterwards. I'll even do your homework if you want."

"Ugh…fine…" Jack grumbled as Noname cheered. "But you have to do all my homework, and my chores… without any robot or Shen-Gong-Wu help. Math homework and cleaning the bathrooms included."

"Oh man, you drive a hard bargain…but I accept." Noname said with a cheerful smile. "Besides, I already packed since I knew where we were going!"

"Wait…what!" Jack asked, surprised. Noname just laughed.

Soon they reached the hotel. Noname and Jack grabbed their bags and checked in. They got a somewhat large room with a separate bedroom, a normal bed, and a main room with a fold-out-couch-bed. The two rooms were separated by a 3 foot hallway and a door.

"Do you want the bed or the couch?" Noname asked Jack as she put both their suitcases by the TV. He had forced her to carry up both their bags and she knew that he would probably want the actual bed.

"You know what, you take the normal bed," Jack said, rather passively. "After all, next week you'll be doing all my chores and homework," he snickered as an evil smirk spread across his face.

"Yay!" Noname quickly grabbed her suitcase, ran into what would be her room for the week, and shut the door.

Jack blinked a few times, trying to once again understand why Noname was so hyper sometimes, then shrugged it off and turned on the TV.

Halfway through the program he was watching, Noname burst out of her room wearing a black bikini with orange polka dots and a tiny skirt-like bottom half, almost like a child's swimsuit. It only added to Noname's child-like cuteness. Jack couldn't help but stare a bit, his grey face smudged with pink

"Jack, get changed so that we can go swimming!" Noname said.

"Um...I'm not very much of a swimmer," Jack said, shifting his focus towards the TV. "Maybe you can go alone."

"C'mon, just because you can't swim, doesn't mean you can't get in the water," Noname said with a now mature tone of voice.

"Hey! I can swim!" Jack snapped. "I just don't want to!"

"Sure you can…" Noname said teasingly, as she rolled her eyes. "Whatever helps you sleep at night, dude…"

"FINE!" Jack yelled. "I'll swim with you! Happy now!"

"Yes," Noname said with a smile.

Jack grabbed his swimming trunks out of his suitcase and stormed into the bathroom to change. A few moments later he came out wearing a pair of black swim trunks with red across the top of the waist and around the bottom of the legs. He wasn't wearing his goggles and his arms were crossed over his pail chest almost as if he were self-conscious about himself.

"I don't even wanna swim…" He muttered.

"C'mon," Noname said as she grabbed his arm and led him out of the hotel room and into the hallway.

As they burst into the hallway a familiar voice came from a few feet away.

"Uhg, its Spicer!" Kimiko groaned in disgust.

Noname and Jack turned to face the five Xiaolin monks. They were also in their swimsuits. Kimiko wore a blue bikini with pink around the edges; Raimundo wore green swim trunks with red across the top; Omi wore purple swim trunks, oranges floaties on his arms, and a blue inner tube around his waist; Clay wore blue swim trunks; and Lupe wore a burgundy tankini (like a bikini, except the top comes down and covers the stomach a bit more) with white stripes.

"What's he doing here?" Raimundo asked spitefully, slightly stepping in front of Lupe.

Jack crossed his arms and scowled, clearly not wanting to deal with them.

"It's nice to see you too," Noname muttered. "I see you guys are on vacation too."

"Yep," Lupe said as she nudged Raimundo out of the way. "Did you use my gift certificate?"

"I sure did!" Noname said with a smile. "Thanks again for that. I see you guys are going down to the pool."

"Yeah," Lupe smiled. "I see you are too. Inside or outside pool?"

"I thought the outside one would be nice since it has a waterslide, plus it's sunny and warm out," Noname said. "Would you like to join us?"

"Sure," Lupe chimed.

As they walked down to the pool, Noname and Lupe chatted away, and Jack scowled at the others as they whispered amongst themselves, doubting Jack and Noname were just there for a vacation.
