"Agh!"

John woke up in a cold sweat. For some reason, he felt like he needed to do something. Something…..important. He tried to stand up.

"Woah! Head rush!" He cried.

John flopped back over onto his bed, making sure to avoid crushing the stuffed bunny lying there. How he loved his dear, sweet, bunny. That bunny was the best birthday present his friends had ever given- His friends! John bolted upwards.

Quickly, John clambered out of his bed, only to fall face first on the floor. With a quick adjustment of his glasses, John picked himself up and rushed over to the adjacent room, where his cousin was staying.

"Jade! Are you alright?" John exclaimed.

Jade sat up. "What are you talking about, John? Don't be silly, I'm perfectly fine!" She said as she stepped out of her bed.

"Oh. Sorry." said John. "I just…"

"Nightmares again? John, I know you're upset from the accident, and I know we shouldn't have been messing around in Grandpa Harley's lab, but you are acting very strange for no reason at all!"

John kicked at a stray Tangle Buddie™, sending it flying across Jade's brightly colored room.

"I dunno, Jade. We were just in a big lab accident, and if there's one thing I've learned from movies, it's that weird and special things happen after big lab accidents! So I'm just saying, we should definitely keep an eye out for any sort of danger or weird stuff."

"John, that is even more silly! You are all worked up just because of your stupid movies! I'm fine, Dave and Rose are fine, and you are perfectly fine as well! I'm sorry that you feel so put off, John, but you should do something other than fret in your room all day long."

"Okay, okay. You win this round, Harley." John teased. "Can we at least go see Dave and Rose? I think we should, just in case."

Jade sighed, and began brushing out her long, messy hair. "Okay. I suppose there isn't really a bad reason to say hi to some friends."

"Sweet! But, I guess you're right. Maybe I should get my mind off this whole mess."

While Jade was busy arranging the trip with John's dad, John ran off into his room to grab his things. Grabbing his bag, he began shoving in anything he thought he might need. His PDA, a clever disguise, some smoke pellets, and a delicious box of Gushers were all tossed into his backpack. Before long, he couldn't help but losing himself in thought, a rather uncharacteristic action for him.

He knew he probably shouldn't worry too much about the accident. After all, they were all alive, intact and nobody was showing signs of radiation poisoning! Plus, Jade reassured him of everyone's safety. Jade's gut instinct was almost always right, and if she said that everything would turn out fine, it usually would. But still, something nagged at him. Something he couldn't quite put his finger on. He knew something fishy was going on at Skaianet Laboratories…

"John! It's time to go!" Jade called out.

Grabbing his bag, John rushed to the door on the other side of the room. Just before he crossed the threshold of his room, he screeched to a stop. He wasn't sure why, but he walked over to his nightstand and picked up the only treasure garnered from his escapades in Grandpa Harley's lab. The flamboyantly colored hammer was slightly heavy, but balanced perfectly in his hand when he picked it up, like it was made for him to wield. With some considerable effort, he shoved it into his bag along with the rest of his things. Something told him he shouldn't leave home without it. This, of course, was ridiculous! Why would he need a war hammer to go and see some friends? It wasn't like they were going to be in any danger anyway.

Bluh, He thought to himself. Might as well bring it. Rose might have something to say about it!

He heaved the bag over his shoulders and rushed down the hallway of his house.

"John! Hurry up, we're about to leave!"

"Don't worry, Jade, I'm heading to the car right now!" John responded.

A gust of wind greeted him as he opened the front door. The sun shone down and warmed his body as he stepped outside and stretched. It truly was a lovely day outside. Good thing he could leave his house to see it! John was very glad that he wasn't... What's the word….

Housetrapped. Yes, that was it.

John, be the flighty broad.

What? John thought. Why would I-

BE THE FLIGHTY BROAD.
