And here I am yet again, folks. Now's the time for the next part of "A Spying Dragon".
Same disclaimer apply.
And now Let The Magic Begin.

"That was so close." said Clover putting the team's latest Shen Gong Wu in the WOOHP safe.
"I am so sorry about that. I forgot the Shen Gong Wu powers up when you say its name." said Alex.
"When dealing with the Two Ton Tunic, you need to be careful where you use it. Cause when turned on it really is that heavy. Lucky I was there to catch you when it broke that rope bridge you was on." said Dojo.
"I know now. And it was my fault that Tim got the Tongue of Saiping! I am such a jinx!" said Alex starting to cry.
"No you're not!" said Ranma. "Alex, you are 1 of the most skilled fighters I've ever seen. It took you 2 days to master the Chestnut Fist. And you're wicked fast too. You didn't get to be the Dragon of the Wind for nothing."
"You think so?" asked Alex sniffing a bit.
"I know so. Mom has some things for me to get for the cafe so why don't you come with me?" asked Ranma.
"Ok." said Alex. Clover and Sam quickly ran out of sight.
"Looks like Alex's date has come at last." said Sam.
"You know it. Let's help her get ready!" said Clover.
"And we'd better warn her about Ranma's mother." said Sam.
SCENE CUT TO THE DOUBLE DRAGON CAFE
'Well, here goes.' thought Alex knocking on the front door.
"Oh, hi, Alex. What brings you here on a off day?" asked Nodoka opening the door.
"Ranma asked me over so we can--ACK!" Alex was cut off by Nodoka yanking her in.
"Ranma asked you over? How many grandchildren?" asked Nodoka starry eyed.
"Mom! I asked Alex over so I can have some help with your shopping list. Must you do that everytime the girls come over?" asked Ranma as he came downstairs.
"I can't help myself." said Nodoka playing with her 2 index fingers.
"Well now that all 3 of them are greeted like that, they are prepared. See ya later." said Ranma going out with Alex in tow.
'Now that all 3 of the girls have had their first dates with Ranma. I can call their mothers and tell them. It would take some convincing, but Ranma can be protective which will put Sam's mother at ease. And I've been teaching him my sword style which has been passed down from generation to generation, that can win over a fan of the past like Clover's mother. And Alex's mother has been pushing her to find a boyfriend and Ranma will soon fit that bill which will turn into something more. On the plus side for all of us it can give us lots and lots of grandchildren!' thought Nodoka as she skipped to the phone.
SCENE CUT TO THE MARKETPLACE
"Clover and Sam warned me about that but I thought they were kidding." said Alex.
"Trust me on this Lexichan, with mom's hunger for grandchildren, she should be on the Book of World Records." said Ranma.
'HE GAVE ME A NICKNAME!' thought Alex blushing.
"Well, that's the last of the stuff that Mom asked for." said Ranma after packing the last of the goods on his list when he heard a sneeze from his backpack. Ranma opened it and Dojo came out.
"Why are you living in my backpack, Dojo?" asked Ranma.
"Master Fung asked me so I can ACHOO let you know about a new ACHOO Shen Gong Wu that'll go active at a ACHOO moment's notice." sneezed Dojo.
"Are you sick, Dojo?' asked a worried Alex.
"The good news is no, a Shen Gong Wu just went ACHOO active. The bad news is that I'm allergic to it and I won't be able to stop sneezing untill ACHOO someone picks it up." sneezed Dojo.
"So what are we hunting now?" asked Ranma before he was handed the scroll
"The ACHOO Sword of the Storm." sneezed Dojo. Ranma unrolled the scroll.
"The Sword of the Storm is a Wu that can control the wind and make tornados. However, when someone's holding it he or she cannot be harmed by his or her foe. And what's more, the holder can't make contact with anything else. And here's the real kicker. It can combine with the Eye of Dashi to make the holder fly at great speeds." read Ranma.
"It's nearby. but ACHOO my nose is too out of wack to pinpoint ACHOO it." sneezed Dojo.
"Then I guess we'll have to fan out. Alex, you take 1 side of the Marketplace and Dojo and I will take the other. If you find it, call." said Ranma.
"Ok." said Alex walking off to her side of the Marketplace. Soon she ened up at the beach where she heard laughing. It was Tim, and he was holding the Sword of the Storm.
'OH NO!' thought Alex as she used her X-Powder to call Ranma. "Ranma, I'm at the beach. Good news: I found the Sword of the Storm. Bad news: Tim beat me to it."
"Dojo had a feeling someone had it when his sinuses cleared up." said Ranma via his X-Band. "We'll be right there. See if you can stall him."
"On it!" said Alex switching to her spy suit. 'This time I won't mess up.' she thought running to the scene.
"Now that I have the Sword of the Storm, I can blow WOOHP HQ to nothing! And no one will stand in our way for getting all the Shen Gong Wu!" said Tim laughing.
"Will you stop gloating? The Xiaolin may be here even as we speak!" said Wuya.
"Oh how right you are!" said Alex coming into the light.
"So the airhead is here. No matter. As long as I have the Sword of the Storm, you can't hurt me." said Tim.
"Then I'll just have to get you to drop it!" said Alex.
"Ha! I'll blow you away before that happens! SWORD OF THE STORM!" Tim made a mighty wind and tried to blow Alex alway.
"YOU FOOL! SHE'S THE XIAOLIN OF WIND! YOU'RE MAKING HER STRONGER!" shouted Wuya after seeing the attack made Alex glow with an aura almost the size of a supernova.
"Oh, guess that puts us in a stalemate." said Tim when a hat charged with ki knocked the Sword of the Storm out of his hand to a spot 20 feet away.
"And I guess THAT puts the odds back in our favor." said Ranma as he appeared and caught the returning hat.
"Don't tell me Wuya, I know. Scam Bots, attack!" ordered Tim.
"Alex, get the Wu. I'll cover you. Use your Element to gain more speed!" said Ranma unleashing his Ki Claws and slashing at the bots.
"Here goes. WIND!" Alex's Element gave her the speed she needed to get to the sword, but Tim was there as well so they both had their hands on it and it started to glow.
"Alex, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! The game is collecting seashells while surfing. Whoever gets the most wins and also, whoever falls of a surfboard loses." said Tim.
"Fine, but I invoke a Shen Yi Bu Dare." said Alex.
"A what?" asked Tim.
"A Shen Yi Bu Dare. It's something I read about on my way to Ranma's house. This type of showdown we have to each wager 2 Shen Gong Wu to use." said Alex.
"She's right." said Wuya.
"I hate to say this, but I agree with the old hag." said Dojo after checking the rulebook.
"Fine by me. I wager the Monkey Staff and the Tongue of Saiping." said Tim.
"And I wager the Mantis Flip Coin and the Eye of Dashi." said Alex.
"LET'S GO! XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!" With that, the Showdown area was set up and the players was each on a surfboard while the wagered Shen Gong Wu appeared before them.
"GONG YI TEMPAI!"
And thus the Showdown began.
"Wow." said Dojo a while later. "2 more yards to go and they're even on getting seashells. And I didn't know shells can float on water during showdowns."
"Come on Tim, win this!" ordered Wuya.
"MONKEY STAFF!" Tim jumped to get more seashells.
"MANTIS FLIP COIN!" Alex did so as well.
"This'll win it for sure. TONGUE OF SAIPING!" Tim ordered some flying fish to knock Alex off.
'Uh-oh! I'd better get away from this seafood.' thought Alex as she swinged her board left and right to dodge her attackers. "Sorry Tim, but I'm on a fishfree diet. EYE OF DASHI!" with a bolt of lightning, Tim was knocked off his board. Thus making Alex the winner.
"Wow! Now that's some surfing, kid! I've been around since it was thought up, and you could even give the genius behind it a run for his money. Or was that genius a she? I forgot." said Dojo.
"See Lexichan? Let that be a lession to you: if you put your mind to it, you can do anything." said Ranma.
"Clover taught me how to surf Ranma, but it took me--MMPH!" Alex was cut off by Ranma's lips on hers.
SCENE CUT TO THE SPIES' HOUSE
"Looks like someone had a good time." said Clover as she saw a dazed Alex walk inside.
"You and Sam are right, he is a keeper." said Alex as she flopped on the sofa.
"Tell me about it." said Sam as she came into the room.
"Well now that we each got some alone time with him, I say we plan on upcoming dates and paint the planet red!" said Clover as the phone rang.
"I'll get it." said Sam picking it up. "Hello?"
"Sam, it's Ukyo. I just want you to know your mother is here giving Ranma an interview. And tell Clover and Alex their mothers are here as well." said Ukyo on the other line.
"Well, GULP how's their moods?' asked Sam who's now a bundle of nerves.
"Very well. Right now Ranma's going upstairs and my Mom's giving them fans. I think she's going to teach them her grandmother dance." said Ukyo.
"I see. Thanks for telling me, Ukyo. See you later." said Sam hanging up.
"Sammie? What's going on?" asked Clover.
"Our mothers have met their soon to be son-in law." said Sam.
"WHAT?" Clover and Alex screamed together.
"At least it's going well." said Sam.
"So it's all coming together. We found someone to spend the rest of our lives with which our Moms like." said Clover.
"I never thought this day would come, now it's coming all too fast." said Alex.
"If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up." said Sam.
"That's the last straw! I say we go out and pick our wedding dresses!" said Clover.
"Clover, we're too young to get married." said Alex.
"Master Fung said he can marry us no matter how old we are and he's helped the right lawmakers." said Clover.
"Alright, but let's not rush Ranma or he'll run out of town like a chicken with his head cut off." said Sam.
"I was just saying we should be prepared." said Clover.
"Then let's go." said Sam.
"SHOPPING SPREE!" shouted all 3 girls as they went to the mall.
