Watching Kickin' It and just saw Seaford We have a Problem and I was like "What was Milton thinking while Jerry fell?" and then BAM! I wrote this.
"Milton I'm afraid."
When I heard those three words, I swear my heart stopped. This was Jerry, the Jerry who was scared of nothing. The Jerry who kept me company throughout High School. The Jerry who comforted me when Julie dumped me and Jack got sick of me. The Jerry who, when Eddie moved away, chose to hang out with me instead of Rudy when I was lonely.
I didn't know what to say to reassure him. He was the one always reassuring me. So many different thoughts ran though my head at that moment I almost froze. But I had to say something.
"Wasabi?" I didn't even think he would respond, but I wanted-no needed-to tell Jerry we were there for him.
"Wasabi"
When he responded, I knew it was time. He jumped, in true Jerry fashion, and all was going smoothly. Then something went wrong. The screen went blank and the sound got cut off. I swear, my heart stopped, and didn't start up again until I saw Jerry falling with the parachute.
"Jerry, look for familiar landmarks." I needed to know that he was close by, that he was safe.
"I can see the school's football field!"
I breathed a sigh and cheered along with the rest of the people in the station. When we got to Jerry at the school, I felt as if a giant weight was lifted off of my chest. Because I knew that Jerry was safe now. And I don't know how I would be able to deal if something happened to him.
