My brain went completely blank the last couple weeks, but now I have found a new story idea that I can post right here! And a new OC. And my first. Don't know if my OC will be just a friend or a love interest, or if I should put Chase in their instead. I need to write a Chack sometime, but I have no ideas at the time. I'll find out sooner or later!

Two Jackbots were playing cards early in the morning because they knew when Jack woke up it'd be "Get me a pudding cup!" or "Jackbots! Attack!" Heck, they didn't even know if they'd still be there the next morning to play again! When they heard the door to Jack's bedroom slowly creep open, they quickly gathered up the cards and put them in a drawer. Then out stepped the master in blue PJs and pink bunny slippers. He crept to the fridge and got a pudding cup to eat. The Jackbots, confused why he didn't order them to do it for him, flew over to the sleepy Jack Spicer.

"Um, if I may ask master…" One bot said. "Usually you ask us to get pudding for you. Might I ask what is wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Jack said, slowly standing up. "WHAT'S WRONG?" He threw the pudding cup across the room and, in a fit of maniacal rage, flipped the table over. "I'll tell you what's wrong! Every day I work my ass off getting a Sheng-Gong-Wu, and what does it get me? A black eye and more work repairing robots every night!"

"What are you saying?" The other bot asked.

"I'm saying I'm quitting evil AND good!" Jack yelled, sitting back down. "I'm retiring. All my life I've been obsessed with world domination, but if I know I can never achieve it, why work at it? I want to live my life before it's over."

The Jackbots were very confused at this, but they did as they always do: agree.

"So, what now?" A third bot said as he flew over.

"I'm going to the zoo." Jack said. "You guys can stay here and party, whatever you want to do."

If the Jackbots had mouths they would be smiling their heads off. A whole afternoon without master yelling at them would be robotic heaven. And the best part was it would be the first of many!

For the first time in his 16-year-old life, Jack put on normal clothes. Instead of black, dreary pants and a trench coat, he put on some nice blue jeans and a white T-Shirt. He even removed all his makeup and yellow goggles. For once, he looked normal.

He took his Mom's convertible on his way to the zoo. It was nice to finally feel the wind in his face, because he was always in some sort of cramped cockpit.

The zoo was his favorite place to cool down as a kid. Seeing the lions lounge around made him want to lounge.

When he finally arrived at the zoo, the first thing he saw was the reptile house. Reptiles were his favorite type of animal because of their scaly skin and fierce reputation. It sort of reminded him of a certain 1500 year old heylin master.

Next was the monkeys. All that time of using the monkey staff made Jack pick up some monkey language. He told one primate to stand on his hands and walk around, which he did. He told another to shake his butt at everyone who walked by. He got a kick out of that!

He loved the lion cage. They were his favorite mammal. But being constantly hunted down by one of Chase's lions made him slowly walk away.

Everything was going great until Jack tripped over some sort of book. He feel face-first on the ground. He laid there for a minute until some girl said, "Hey, you okay?" and helped him up. "You took quite a fall there. What happened?"

"Guess I tripped on this book right here." Jack said as he picked it up and opened it. "It's blank. Guess it's some sort of journal."

"My name's Jennifer." She said. "My friends call me Jen."

"Okay, Jen." Jack said. "My name's Jack. Nice to meet you."

"The pleasure's all mine." Jen replied.

Jack was so caught up in his fall that he never got a chance to look at Jen. She had nice pink hair and a red tank top with a white mini skirt and sandals. Not the type that would help Jack stand up, but hey- Maybe she was different.

"So, you look smart." Jen said. "What do you do?"

"I build robots." Jack replied. "But I don't anymore."

"That's so cool!" Jen said in astonishment. "Why'd you stop?"

"Well, I…" Jack was about to answer but people suddenly started screaming. They were probably terrified of the 40-foot dragon carrying 4 Wu seeking monks.

I really think I improved my chapter length and the way I type. Seriously! I'm liking this! But the real question is: are you?
