Jonny Quest was downstairs watching TV, trying to ignore the increasing volume of music from upstairs. He shifted uncomfortably, rearranging the cushions on the couch, and changed the channel again. Loud music from Jessie's room was never a good thing. Really, he didn't screw up that bad... he didn't. It wasn't completely his fault, at least. Some of it was Hadji's.

"All right, that's it!" he said, as he began to walk upstairs to Jessie's room. He couldn't stand it anymore... the grrrl rock was really too much for a 14 year old boy to take.


Jessie Bannon was in her room, fuming. "How dare he..." she thought to herself, as she cleaned out her closet. She was so angry she had to do something before she did something she regretted... like decking Jonny. Or using his face as a dart board, or replacing his sports posters with Fabio ones and seeing how long it took him to notice... no... she should tell Dr. Quest he had a Playboy and a Victoria's Secret catalog stashed under his mattress... bet he didn't know she knew about that one...

"Damn boots..." she muttered as she tugged on one and it suddenly gave way from the corner it was shoved into, sending her flying to land on her butt. "Great." She sat on the floor fuming before getting up and throwing the boot back into the closet.

She got up and turned the stereo up even louder, since her father and Dr. Quest weren't home. She felt it was safe to listen to her Poe CD without any adult supervision. Her father didn't approve of a great deal of the lyrics, but since he wasn't home and she was greatly irritated. . . well. . . it was time to bring it out from her hiding place.

A grin came across her face as she realized what song was starting. Quickly she reached for the volume control and cranked it up even more.


Outside her door stood Jonny Quest, who stood listening, beginning to be afraid. Very, very afraid. If there was any song he hated with a fiery passion, this was it. The only thing he hated more than hearing the song on the radio was what he was hearing through the door right now.

Inside Jessie was screaming the words along with Poe on her favorite song of the moment. . .


"Jonny, Angry Jonny, this is Jezebel in Hell
I wanna kill you, I wanna blow you away. . . "


Jessie stopped singing, she had the feeling someone was outside the door, and, hoping to God it wasn't her father home early, yanked open the door and instead found Jonny, white faced.

Jonny looked at Jessie when she yanked open the door, and thought she looked mad enough to carry out the lyrics of the song, and turned and ran, fast. He ran down the stairs and out the front door.

Jessie stood staring down the stairs he'd just run down in amazement. Then, she laughed. For a long, long time. It would be a long time before she let him forget this one!

The End!
