Chapter 4: Tea House:
Chuckie's POV:
"It's 'new horizons' and it is the hottest color going," I said, "the kid with the blackheads at the hardware store told me. So, grab a roller."
"New Horizons? Please tell me you're not painting Kimi's room with that," says Dil.
"Why not," I asked.
"Big mistake. According to the Bagwa, the left hand /th of this space is Kimi's prosperity center," says Dil.
"Bagwa? Prosperity center? What are you talking about," asks Tommy.
"Feng Shui, T," says Dil.
"Usually, I catch on to what he's saying within a couple of sentences, but this time he totally got me," says Tommy.
"It's the ancient art of design to increase your positive energy flow, and I'm telling you, you put yellow on that wall and Kimi's energy flow is glowing negative," says Dil.
"I have purple," I said.
"Purple's good- and you'll need wind chimes, and some kind of running water," says Dil.
"We don't have wind chimes and running water," I said.
"You don't want death and destruction for this room, do you," asks Dil.
"This is insane. Don't listen to him," says Tommy.
Jackie's POV:
"Here it is," says Cosmosis.
"A tea shop," I asked, "this is where Uncle's locator says Jaycee is at."
"Seems more like your uncle just wanted us to get some tea," says Cosmosis, "wait, never mind. I see Captain Black... or at least his body!"
"Let's go," I said.
Chuckie's POV:
"Okay, just a smidge to the right. No, now the left. Okay... no. Yes. No," says Phil.
"Phillip, now you decide to become a perfectionist," says Lil.
"Ah, no, no, it's all wrong. Take it off, we got to start again," says Dil.
Kimi's POV:
"Problem," I asked.
"I'll say. My back hurts, my feet are asleep, and these bathmats we're squatting on are prickly," says Angelica.
"They're called tatami," I said.
"So, what's that? Japanese for butt-burn? And what's with raking these pebbles? Back and forth, back and forth- what's the point in that," asks Angelica.
I invited her in the first place because I thought it could help with her attitude, but she is being too stressful! "It's relaxing," I shouted.
Everyone shushes me.
"Well, if you ask me, it's too peaceful. This place will need to kick it up to stay in business," says Angelica.
"If you really feel this way, let's go home," I said.
"What?! No! You... you can't," says Angelica.
"Why not," I asked.
"Uh... I haven't finished my extremely bitter tea yet," says Angelica.
"Oh, that's it, I'm going," I said, "bye."
Jackie's POV:
"So, where's Tohru anyway," asks Cosmosis.
"He's running errands," I said. We then confronted Captain Black.
"Jackie, Cosmosis, the Dragon is in me," says Captain Black, "and he kidnapped your kid!"
"I know," I said, "Uncle will be arriving with the spell to banish Shen Du!"
"You didn't think of bringing him," asks Captain Black.
"He's busy getting the stuff we'd need," I said.
Then Shen Du takes control. "Jackie Chan and your alien superhero friend," says Shen Du, "how ni-"
We then heard someone that sounds like Angelica screaming. We were all confused. She was screaming about her tongue.
"You were saying," I asked.
"Anyway, I have your child," says Shen Du.
"And we are here to save him," says Cosmosis. We then looked and saw that Jaycee wasn't there!
"Where is he," I asked.
"I have him hidden," says Shen Du, "but there is a clue right there!"
We looked and it's a picture of a bridge. "So, the Golden Gate Bridge," I guessed.
"I suppose it was rather obvious, wasn't it," asks Shen Du, "the clock is ticking!"
Cosmosis and I then ran out.
Shen Du's POV:
I then saw two of those children. "So sore... so sore," says the Blonde one.
"Don't ask," says the Daughter of the Left Eye.
