Raimundo Pedrosa had been facing the bathroom mirror for an hour and a half. He was practicing getting something important off of his chest.

Raimundo Pedrosa: Kimiko, I_ you see, Kimiko, I've always_ Kimiko, I've been meaning to tell you_ OH, why can't I do this even in front of the mirror?!

Dojo Kanojo Cho: Raimundo, shen gong wu alert! What are you doing in here anyway?

Raimundo got a little nervous about the subject and swiftly attempted to avoid it. So, he played dumb and just denied doing anything.

Raimundo Pedrosa: What are talking about, Dojo? I wasn't doing anything in here!

Dojo Kanojo Cho: If you say so, kid. I've already called on the others and they're all ready to hear what the wu and its primary purpose are.

Raimundo followed Dojo to the hall where the others were. Omi, Ping Pong and Clay had their suspicions about what Raimundo was doing when he was facing the bathroom mirror, but Kimiko just thought he was in there just to compliment himself like she thinks he usually does. It was a good thing for Raimundo that Kimiko thought too much that he was an egomaniac to be aware of his feelings for her... but it sure did a number on his heart that she was still completely oblivious to the crush he had on her ever since they had all joined the temple.

Clay Bailey: You sure took yer time facing the bathroom mirror, didn'tcha, partner?

Omi: Most certainly, Raimundo. That is usually something we would expect from Kimiko.

Ping Pong: Oui oui! You must've been quite busy with something in order to have not heard any of us calling you from where we were to where you were.

Kimiko Tohomiko: Come on, guys! Get real, will ya? He was probably just complimenting himself in the mirror like he usually does. You all know how egotistical he can be.

Raimundo Pedrosa: Hey, I resent that statement, Kimiko!

Raimundo Pedrosa's brain: But it's a good thing that she doesn't know what I was really up to before I can even tell her.

Ping Pong: Any way, Dojo... what magic does the "Watch of Hypnos" shen gong wu possess?

Dojo Kanojo Cho: It has the power to hypnotize anyone whose eyes are facing the watch. The hypnotic command on the victim can only be broken by the one who hypnotized them... or someone who the hypnotized one feels very close to if the person they feel close to yells at them just loud enough to wake them up.

All of the monks reacted the same way.

Omi: We better not waste any time getting a hold of this watch! We can't let any of the Heylin forces get their hands on it!

They flew on Dojo to the city of New Orleans, Louisiana in the US of A. They had arrived just in time for Mardi Gras. But they did not have the time to celebrate it... for they were on a mission. Kimiko wound being the one to find pocket watch-like shen gong wu. She reported back to the others and then, Dojo confirmed that it was, in fact, their wu. But Jack Spicer came out of nowhere and snatched it from out of Kimiko's hand.

Jack Spicer: So long, xiaolin losers!

Raimundo went after Jack, grabbed the Watch of Hypnos, and challenged Jack to a xiaolin showdown.

Raimundo Pedrosa: Jack, I challenge you to Xiaolin Showdown! My Sword of Lucida against your Monkey Spear!

Jack Spicer: I accept, loser! Name your game!

Raimundo Pedrosa: A timed race to the watch! First one to beat the clock and take the wu for himself wins!

Raimundo Pedrosa and Jack Spicer: Let's go! Xiaolin Showdown! Gong Yi Tan Pai!
