Inside a small brown house with a white picket fence around it, a happy couple sat at the dining room table eating breakfast and contemplating the change their family was about to undergo. This couple was former Jem security guard Zack Morgan and his wife Raya Morgan. The day before, Raya had found out that she was pregnant. She had told her husband the wonderful news by buying him a white mug with the word 'DADDY' printed in big black letters. The only thing left was to break the news to their friends since they had told their parents at the previous dinner.
"Are you happy?" Raya asked with wide eyes.
"You bet I am!" Zack replied with a kiss.
"I'm glad because I am ecstatic!" Raya beamed.
"The happiest moment in my life was when I got up at dinner and told the news to our parents," Zack declared. "For a brief moment, I couldn't tell the difference between my parents and yours."
"I know what you mean!" Raya laughed.
"Although…" Zack sighed.
"What's wrong?" Raya asked.
"I'm scared," Zack confessed.
"Honey, we've had discussion before!" Raya protested. "You'll make a wonderful father!"
"That's not what I'm scared of," Zack replied with a shake of his head. "Well… it's not the only thing."
"Then what is it?" Raya pressed.
"You are my best friend and if something happened to you, I don't know what I'd do," Zack whined.
"Lots of women have babies," Raya pointed out.
"I'm not married to them," Zack answered.
"Your momma survived and mine has several times," Raya explained.
"Yes, you have a very Weasleyish family," Zack put out with a grin.
"What?" Raya squeaked with a look of surprise.
"It's from Harry Potter," Zack replied.
"I haven't read any of those books even though most of the foster girls have," Raya admitted.
"One of Harry's best friends is Ron Weasley," Zack declared. "Every one of the many Weasley children is a boy except for the youngest. That's definitely you except that the Weasleys are British and no one in your family has red hair."
"Oh, I see," Raya giggled.
"How do you want to tell our friends?" Zack questioned to change the subject.
"The Misfits are coming to Starlight house tonight for game night," Raya revealed. "We'll be able to tell everyone at once."
"That's good," Zack agreed.
"Why don't you call Jetta and make sure she brings her Scrabble board?" Raya suggested.
"Okay," Zack conceded while getting up to dial the phone.
Zack was stunned when his least favorite person answered the phone.
"Hello?" Pretty Boy, or Riot if you prefer, asked.
Zack was too stunned to speak for a second.
"I said 'Hello!'" Riot barked.
"Uh… is Jetta there?" Zack asked.
"Oh, its you," Riot groaned.
"What is it, mate?" Jetta asked after Riot summoned her.
"Could you bring your Scrabble board tonight?" Zack requested.
"Sure," Jetta agreed.
"Thanks," Zack acknowledged.
"Bye!" Jetta replied just before hanging up.
"What did Zack want?" Pizzazz wanted to know.
"He wants me to bring my Scrabble board tonight," Jetta revealed.
"That's odd," Pizzazz murmured.
"Why?" Jetta probed.
"We've gotten together with the Holograms several times to play games and he's never cared which one we've played before," Pizzazz explained.
"What do you think it means?" Stormer questioned.
"Bring me your Scrabble board, Jetta," Pizzazz ordered. "I have an idea."
"So are you going to spill it?" Roxy demanded.
"What if this is Zack's and Raya's way of telling us something?" Pizzazz mused.
"And?" Stormer probed when Jetta brought the Scrabble board.
Pizzazz paused for a second while opening the box and rummaging for the letters that she wanted.
"If Raya doesn't spell this word tonight, I will pay each of you Misfits ten dollars," Pizzazz promised after laying the letters on the coffee table.
"Wow!" Stormer marveled. "Do you think…"
"Yuck!" Minx interrupted.
"What are you talking about?" Stormer demanded.
"My condolences to them," Minx snorted.
"You are crazy!" Stormer thundered. "I think it's wonderful!"
"Okay, okay!" Pizzazz cried. "This is not worth fighting over!"
"When did you become such a detective?" Roxy wondered.
"I guess Zack is rubbing off on me," Pizzazz guessed. "If I'm right, let's try not to spoil the surprise for the Holograms."
"Why were you so stunned on the phone?" Raya asked.
"Riot answered," Zack revealed.
"You still don't like him?" Raya wondered.
"That idiot is so conceded that I think it would be very funny if aliens landed and asked him to take them to his leader," Zack grunted.
"I guess," Raya gave in.
"I better head for work," Zack spoke while kissing his wife good bye.
"Bye!" Raya echoed while hugging her husband.
Zack got in his brown station wagon and headed for Tao Dojo. He had two classes for adults and one for children. It was the children's class that he looked forward to because five of the Starlight girls were taking the class and mimicking every move of their hero. Zack also did most of the setup work such as laying out the mats and putting him away.
After taking all of his young students for a run in a nearby woods to end the day, Zack put everything away when his employer told him to take out the garbage. He had just thrown the garbage into the dumpster when a stone brick nearly hit him in the head. He looked up and he saw something shining in a hole near the top of the building. Curiosity got the better of Zack so he climbed up the fire escape. Upon arriving, he reached into the hole and pulled out a vial with the letter T on it. Soon after Zack put the vial in his pocket to study it later, a gargantuan arm reached around Zack's chest and pulled him on top of the building.
"That's mine!" the voice roared.
"What the…" Zack protested
