Chapter one

Disclaimer: I don't own Jack, Omi, Raymundo, Kimiko, Clay, or even any characters in this story…well, except I do, own Ember.

A 14 year old girl. A mysterious past. This is Ember. She has lime green hair, with black roots and tips. She has a black stripe under each sapphire blue eye (like Jack Spicer but on both eyes) and pale skin. She is also Italian (A/N: like me!). She wears a black halter-top, black tight jeans, and a trench coat. She wears black Doc Martins all the time. She likes the dark, getting her own way, smiling laughing at any joke. She is on the Xiaolin side.

Ember sat on the front steps of the temple. She was board. She watched Omi practice his martial arts skills. She watched Clay practice his rope skills. She silently laughed at Raymundo and Kimiko who were writing text messages to each other. She sighed, thinking of the pizza her Nona used to make, back home. She closed her eyes trying to remember the delicious taste. When she opened them she screamed. Omi was less than one inch from her face. The scream caused everyone to rush over. "What's wrong?" Kimiko asked. "Omi scared the crap outta me." Ember said laughing. "I wanted to know if you were alright. Your eyes were closed for so long." He said, in a naive way. Everyone exchanged worried glances. "I was just thinking of my grandmothers home made pizza." She said, shrugging. Everyone sat down. "Home sick, eh?" asked Raymundo. "A little…" she said, pulling her knees to her chest. "I remember every Friday night my Nona would make her special pizza. I remember helping make it, and always eating pepperonis when she looked away. Most of the time she would look away on purpose for me." She said, smiling. "Y'all know, little lady, when you first came here, we thought you were some gothic gal." Clay said, patting g her back. "Yes, but you are a nice happy girl. One of us!" Omi said, smiling. Ember smiled. "I may look gothic, but I'm a little on the happy side…" she said, getting up. Suddenly Dojo ran over with an ancient scroll. "Okay kids! New Wo!" he said, opening the scroll. "The jewel of Kara. It lets you read minds." Dojo said, rolling up the scroll. "Cool." Raymundo said, jumping up and down. Dojo turned into his 40 ft. self, and everyone jumped on.

As they landed, Ember shrieked. She ran to a tree and picked up a ruby red jewel. She gazed into it and saw her reflection in it. She turned around, only to be met face to face by… "Jack Spicer!" Omi yelled angrily. Jack looked at Ember angrily. "You don't really want to take that to the temple do you?" he asked, scowling. Ember looked around. "Uhhh…. Yes?" she said, getting scared. He shook his head. "Just give it to me." He demanded. "No!" she said, crawling between his legs and running to her friends. Jack rolled his eyes. He walked over to her and grabbed the jewel. It started to glow. "Ember, challenge him!" Kimiko whispered. "Jack Spicer...I challenge you to a Xiaolin sh-showdown…" Ember stuttered (this is her first showdown… because she's only been there for 3 weeks). "Name the game." He said, smirking evilly. "Umm… truth or dare… whom ever doesn't answer the question or whom ever doesn't do the dare, loses. 3 strikes you're out." She said shaking. "You got it!" he said. "GONG YE TEMPI!"

Ember: T or D?

Jack: DARE!

Ember: I dare you to… hold your breath for as long as you can!

Jack: T or D?

Ember: Truth!

Jack: Is it true you like guys?

Ember: Yes

Later

Jack: T or D?

Ember: Dare!

Jack: I dare you to… flash me?

Ember looked at him. "What?" she asked. "I dare you to flash me!" he said, smirking. She looked at her friends. They looked away. Blushing, Ember slowly lifted up her top. Jack blushed. Ember looked away. "Truth or Dare?" she asked, putting her shirt down. "Dare." He said, smiling. "I dare you to… flash me!" Ember said, blushing and smirking evilly. She looked at her friends, as they tried to hold in their laughter. Jack stood still. "Well, Jack? Tit for Tat." She said, folding her arms. Jack cleared his throat. "Umm…" he stuttered. "I wanna see ya, Jack!" she said, smirking. "I give up!" he yelled. "Strike 3, you're out!" Ember squealed. Jack blushed and took off.
