Thank you everyone who rated! Sorry the last chapter was so short ( 1st I thought it was long when I saw it in word). It was kind of rushed. So here's chap. 3…

Disclaimer- I don't own XS, "Dancing through Life" or any other song in this story. Also don't own Wicked or Us Weekly.


Shakera's POV

As soon as I got off the plane, there was a guy, who I assumed was a monk from the temple, holding a card with my name on it. It was so beautiful in that part of China; I've never been outside the U.S. before so it was really nice to see something different. It would be another hour before we would get to the temple so I decided to listen to one of my favorite songs.

Dancing through life
skimming the surface
gliding where turf is smooth
life's more painless
for the brainless
why think too hard?
when it's so soothing

dancing through li . . .

"We're here." The monk announced as the taxi stopped in front of the temple. I turned my ipod off and opened the door. There I saw a huge temple that looked like it came straight out of a Social Studies textbook.

"Wow," I gasped. Then I remembered my manners and thanked the monk for the ride. I grabbed my two suitcases and walked towards the entrance. There, I saw four people waiting for me.

One was a short, monk with a big yellow head who I guessed was Omi. Playing soccer with him was a hot, Brazilian kid with brown hair and green eyes. I assumed that he was Raimundo. Playing Kochica (sorry don't know how it's spelled) Radar, was a pretty, Japanese girl. I knew that she was Kimiko because she was the only girl in the group.

"It must suck to be the only girl at the temple," I thought "But then again, it might be kind of cool."

The last person was a cowboy who was practicing with a lasso. He looked really strong and tall. He had blond hair and blue eyes. I knew some people wouldn't think this but I thought he was cute. Since I guessed who everyone else was, the only name left was Clay. When I reached the top step they all stopped what they were doing to greet me.

"Hey," I said smiling. "I'm Shakera, but I like Kera better."

Kimiko's POV

"Hey," said a pretty girl with dark, brown hair and green eyes. She was a few inches taller than me. "I'm Shakera, but I like Kera better." I quickly looked at the boys, to see if they were drooling over her "gorgeousness." They always acted like this around pretty girls, just like they did with Dyris. Just remembering how they acted like her slave made me want to barf. I was surprised to find only Omi and Clay in awe, Rai just had his normal, board expression on.

"Weird." I thought "At least I was right! The new kid is a girl!"

"Hey," I said smiling back "I'm Kimiko." I introduced the rest of the boys.

"Sup," Rai said.

"That is really weird! Rai's not flirting with this new girl!" I thought "He normally flirts with any girl he thinks is hot. Ugh, I hate that about him! But he's not acting like an annoying perv. Today! That's good!"

"It is a pleasure to meet you," Omi said while bowing.

"Howdy ma'm" Clay said and tipped his hat. Then Master Fung walked over with Dojo on his shoulder.

"Ah, Kera it is nice to see you again," Master Fung said "I see you have met your fellow dragons."

"Hi, Master Fung! Nice to see you to." She replied still with that slightly annoying smile on her face. "Yeah, I just met them." She paused when she saw Dojo. "Is that a dragon?" she asked puzzled.

"Yes, I am" Dojo said proudly. "I'm Dojo".

"Wow!" she exclaimed "I'm Kera."

"Would you like a tour of our temple?" Master Fung asked.

"Sure" she shrugged. For the next hour Me, Rai, Omi and Clay showed her around. After we finished Omi and Clay had to go somewhere. They didn't say where, so me, Kera, and Rai just walked around talking.

"So what do you guys do for fun around here?" she asked. Rai smiled a mischievous smile at this.

"Well, I always pull pranks on Omi and Clay and play soccer; Kimiko always obsesses over her hair and clothes or is downloading annoying ring tones on her cell phone-"Rai stopped when I punched him hard in the arm. I knew he was kidding but I still liked to hit him.

"Ouch!" Rai said rubbing his arm again. Kera and I laughed at this.

"So what do you do for fun?" I asked.

"Well, I love going shopping, playing tennis and soccer, buying and listening to songs on my ipod and playing video games" she paused for a second before saying " I think that's about it. Oh and reading the 'who wore it best' in Us Weekly." Finally someone who I can talk to about clothes! I was so happy that the new dragon was a girl! It was turning out to be a good day until I heard . . .

"New Sheng Gong Wu!"
