Chapter 2

Raimundo arrived the Spicer's house and stared at the windows. There were no lights on. 'Maybe he's already in bed…' He thought to himself. Then he remembered that the mansion had a backyard. 'Maybe…'

Rai surrounded the house and saw a light coming from a window. He looked at the large window and wondered if it belonged to Jack's bedroom. That question was quickly answered when he saw someone walking in the room, and after a while he noticed who it was. 'That girl…'

Dojo hid in a bush and watched as Raimundo grabbed some little rocks and threw them at the window, each at a time. After three of them hit the glass of the window, Wuya appeared, passing throw it.

"Well, well, well…came to join me in my evil task, Raimundo?" she asked.

"No." Rai replied. "I came here to talk to Jack."

Kimiko was coming back from another trip to the fridge when she noticed something. Raimundo's bedroom door was half open. She peeked throw it, but Rai wasn't there.

'What the… where the hell is he?' she thought to herself.

"Oh, I don't think he'll tell you anything. He lost his voice because of that last meeting." Wuya informed, smiling wickedly. She was hoping Raimundo would change his mind about wanting to talk to Jack and join her instead.

"Oh…I didn't know…" Rai replied in a sad tone. Guilt ran throw his mind. Did Jack lose his voice after Raimundo saved him from the snake? Was it his fault?

"But…I still want to talk to him." Rai said.

Wuya frowned before getting back in the room the same way she got out. For a moment Raimundo thought she just left him outside without telling anything to Jack. But he was soon proven wrong.

Jack appeared on the other side of the window and stared at Rai. Then he opened it and came out to the little veranda. He was in his boy look again, with his black clothes and boots, short red hair and yellow goggles on his forehead.

"Can I have a word with you…alone?" Rai asked.

Jack nodded and went back into his room. A minute later, the living room's back door opened and Jack came out to meet him.

They stared at each other for a while, until Jack made a gesture that Rai understood as an invitation to come inside.

"Actually, I was thinking that… well…maybe we could… talk outside?" Raimundo suggested."

Jack looked at him for a moment. Then he grabbed his hand and took him to the little forest in the backyard. They walked about fifty metres inside the forest until they got to a small lake. Near the lake was a large bench. Jack pulled Raimundo by his arm and before he knew it they were both sitting on the bench.

The brazilian boy glanced at Jack for a minute and then put his hand in his coat's pocket, taking something out of it.

"I believe this is yours…" he said, giving the collar to Jack. Jack stared at it for a while and then took it from Raimundo. "and… I really need to talk to you."

The albino looked at Rai, expecting him to talk.

"Well…" he started "when I was in front of the Mirror of Truth I saw my secret, and then Wuya's…and then I saw your secret. You're a girl, aren't you?"

Jack putted the collar around his neck and was about to answer, but Raimundo stopped him.

"Wait…" he said. He finally understood it. Jack being unable to speak was a made up story. The truth is that that collar changes his voice. Jack was trying to hide his real voice.

Raimundo slowly grabs the collar and gently takes it off of Jack's neck. "I want to hear your real voice…the one I heard after I saved you from the snake. And I know it wasn't Kimiko's voice. It was yours, right?"

"Yes…" Jack replied, his voice now sounding like a young woman's.

Rai stared at Jack and holded his, or should I say, her hands. "Then you really are a girl…"

Jack nodded, looking at their hands. Raimundo noticed that she was worried.

"Don't worry," he said "your secret's safe with me."

"Does that mean that you won't tell anyone?" the albino girl asked shyly.

"Exactly. It's your biggest secret. I can't just walk around telling everyone about it!"

Jack smiled a bit and then gave Raimundo a big hug. "Thanks" she said.

Rai's cheeks turned a shade of red while the pale girl hugged him. He broke the hug, holding her shoulders, and spoke again. "I really need to ask you some questions, if that's okay…"

"Sure" she replied "what do you want to know?"

"Well, for starters, I'm pretty sure 'Jack' isn't your real name. So…what's your name?"

The girl giggled. "It's quite similar, actually… my names Jackie."

"Jackie… You know,… I kinda like it."

"Thanks." Jackie said, blushing.

"Okay, next question. Why did you keep this as a secret?"

"Because my father didn't want a daughter. What he really wanted was a son. So he made me disguise like a boy. Then time passed and there were too much people that thought I was a boy. So I kept it as a secret."

"Wow… that's really bad. I never imagined anyone having such a mean dad."

"Yeah, it sucks…" Jackie replied.

"Okay… third question. When I saw you in the mirror, I noticed you were sad. So I've been wanting to ask you… what's the matter?"

"It's mainly because of what my dad does to me… but nevermind that…"

"Oh… alright then…"

They stayed quiet for a while, until Rai finally said something.

"May I?" he asked, raising his hands so that they were at each side of Jackie's head. She understood what he wanted to do.

"Yes, you may." she answered.

Rai gently took Jackie's goggles off her head, and then he carefully pulled her hair, which happened to be a wig. Her real hair was released from the wig, and it was shorter in the back of her head and longer at the front. Raimundo stared at it with a charmed look.

Putting the wig next to him on the bench, Rai glanced back at the white girl. She was just like the girl he saw in the mirror. Beautiful, with innocence and suffering in her eyes. She was gorgeous…

"I wonder…" Raimundo started and then stopped.

"What?" Jackie asked, expecting him to finish the sentence.

"I wonder how can someone make his daughter hide her real self, knowing that she's so pretty."

"You… you think I'm pretty?" She questioned, blushing a little.

"I don't think you're pretty… you are pretty! And I still think your father's being completely unfair! You should show the world the sweet person you really are. Disguise yourself doesn't make you a boy… or a better person."

"Aww… that's so sweet. Thanks Raimundo." Jackie said, hugging him once more.

This time, Rai didn't blush so much (but he still blushed!) and when the albino girl broke the hug, they started talking again, and they kept talking and laughing all night. Even though it was cold outside, they didn't even notice. They were having so much fun…

Then, the sun began to rise, and it was time for Raimundo to leave. Jackie was saying goodbye to him.

"Until next time…" Jackie said "I mean, if there is a next time.

"Oh, don't worry, there will. How about tonight?"

"That sounds… great!" she replied.

"Good. I'll see you then."

"Bye. I really had a lot of fun tonight."

"Me too."

They said their goodbyes and Raimundo left.

After Rai left and Jackie got back inside the house, Dojo came out of his hiding spot. "I have to tell Master Fung about this!" he said to himself, and then flew back to the temple as fast as he could, so that he would arrive there before Rai.

"Gah! Jackie! Stop that!" Wuya screamed while Jackie hugged her and danced around the room in circles.

"Sorry, Wuya," Jackie apologized "It's just that I'm so happy!"

"Why would you be happy? Just because Raimundo came here to give your collar back and talk to you?"

"It's not just that." Jackie replied. "I mean, would he come searching for me if he didn't care about me?"

"Of course he doesn't care! He's just using you!"

"What do you mean?" Jackie's smile faded.

"What makes you think that Raimundo isn't trying to discover your biggest weakness and how to use it to beat you up for good?" Wuya questioned.

"But… why would he do that?…" Jackie asked, her happiness fading away at every thought of Raimundo using her.

"Because despite what he discovered about you, you're still enemies!"

"You're right… but I…" Jackie started, but she was immediately interrupted by the evil witch.

"You what? You didn't think he wants to make friends with a creepy girl like you, did you?"

"You… you mean…"

"Believe me, Jackie. He's using you." Wuya left Jackie's room.

The albino girl sat on her bed, staring at her feet. 'What if she's right?…' she wondered 'What if Raimundo is actually using me?'

She kept thinking about it for a moment and suddenly got up, talking to herself, "No! I don't believe it! Raimundo isn't that mean. I'm sure he came here mainly because he was worried about me. There's no other explanation!"

She put her hand in her overcoat's pocket, taking the collar that she used to change her voice out of the pocket and holding it. 'There can't be another explanation…'

She changed into her pajamas and went to bed, quickly falling asleep.

When Raimundo got back to the temple, Dojo had already told everything he saw and heard to Master Fung.

"I see…" the old man said, with comprehension in his eyes.

"Should I tell the other monks to keep an eye on him?" Dojo asked.

"No, Dojo. If you do that, the other monks will discover what Raimundo's hiding. Remember that he made a promise to Jackie. He promised that he wouldn't tell her secret to anyone. If we tell the young monks about it, we're instantly breaking his promise, and Jackie won't ever trust him again." Master Fung explained.

"Oh… well… maybe we should help him keeping her secret then…"

"Yes… good idea, my friend. But remember. We can't let Raimundo discover that we know about his meeting with Jackie."

"Got it!" Dojo answered, and then left the room, heading to Rai's.

"Where have you been?" Kimiko asked Raimundo.

"Gah! Oh… hi Kimiko… you scared the hell outta me!" Rai exclaimed.

"Where. Have. You. Been." Kimiko repeated both slowly and angrily.

"I… I had to go get some fresh air."

"The whole night?"

"Y-yes… I was feeling sick… but I'm better now." Raimundo said, starting to feel nervous.

Dojo arrived at the scene soon enough to hear that last part (luckily for Rai). Kim didn't even notice Dojo's arrival.

"Oh, really?…" she said in a suspicious tone "How can I be sure that you're not lying to me?"

"Feeling better now, Raimundo?" Dojo interrupted.

"Yes, Dojo. Much better, thanks." Rai replied.

Kimiko gave them a last suspicious glance and left.

"Thanks, man. You saved my butt."

"Ah, don't mention it, boy. What were you too talking about anyway?"

"She was asking me where I've been."

"And where have you been?"

"Outside. I felt sick and stayed there all night."

"Wow, you must be really tired then. I'll ask Master Fung to give you some more hours to sleep."

"Thanks, Dojo. You're the best!" he exclaimed, hugging the dragon. When he released Dojo, the little dragon flew in the direction of the old monk's room.

Raimundo went inside his room, got undressed, except for his boxers, and went to bed. In a blink of an eye, he was asleep.

"That's a very good idea, my friend" Master Fung said. He was in his room, talking with Dojo.

"Why do you say that?" the mystical dragon asked.

"If Raimundo sleeps until 10:00, he'll have to leave his chores to the end of the day, and he can't do them in the afternoon because he will be too busy training and doing other things." Master Fung explained "By the time he finishes his chores, all t6he other monks are already asleep, which will make it easier for him to sneak out again and go to meet Jackie."

"Wow… How didn't I think of that?… So, does that mean that we should make it easier for Raimundo to sneak out?"

"The easier, the better."

"Okay then… I'll try my best…" Dojo got out of the room.

Jackie woke up with the sun hitting her face. Her eyes narrowed at the intense light. She looked at her alarm clock. It read 10:03, which meant that she has been sleeping for about four hours.

Suddenly someone knocked at her bedroom's door.

"Yes?" she called.

"Jackie, sweetie, are you feeling alright?" a woman's voice was heard from the other side of the door.

"Yeah, mom… I'm fine." she replied.

"Oh, thank god… for a moment I thought you were sick…"

"No, I'm… I'm just tired…" Jackie said with a big yawn.

"Well, then, please get dressed. We're going shopping."

Jackie did what she was told to. About twenty minutes later she was in her 'boy look', leaving the house and getting in the car with her mother.

When they got to the mall, Jackie's mother took her to buy some clothes. They spent all morning trying on clothes.

The albino girl sighed everytime she looked at the mirror. She always hated shopping. Nothing seemed to look good on her.

Then a question ran throw her mind. 'Why does my mom want me to try on so many clothes?' She remembered that in the past few were the times her mother took her shopping, and that she only did it when there was a special event coming up.

She tried to recall what occasion would it be this time. Suddenly she remembers.

"My birthday's in four days!" she exclaimed to herself. But she understood another thing. If her mom wants to buy such pretty clothes, it just meant one thing. Jackie's father was coming for a visit.
