G.O.O.D vs. E.V.I.L Reloaded #2
"A Date with Disaster"
Chapter 1: Double Dating Disaster.
G.O.O.D HQ, 8:15 a.m.
"There we go" Donatello said as he tightened the last screw "our own dimensional portal is complete."
"Are you sure this thing will work?" Leonardo asked him.
"Theoretically, but it couldn't hurt to test it" Don replied "if it does though, we'll be able to pull anything, or anyone out of other dimensions. That should help our allies and give us equal footing with E.V.I.L."
"All right, let's make sure this thing works" Leo instructed "then we'll decide the best way to use it."
"Yo, is that the dimensional gate thing?" Jake asked, as he entered the room.
Leo nodded "Donny just finished it and now we're going to test it."
"Okay, I just turn the dial to pick a particular dimension, and it shows up here on the little screen" Don explained "then, I pull this lever, like so" he added, with the empty doorframe now filled with an unearthly light "and voila, instant dimensional travel."
"So, how do you get something out of there?" Jake asked.
"Observe" Don replied and walked into the portal; after a few minutes, he emerged but he wasn't alone.
Accompanying him was a small humanoid fox with red tennis shoes and two tails.
"Is it true you guys know where Sonic is?" he asked.
"Guys, I'd like you to meet Miles Prower, a.k.a. Tails" Don said, "I ran into him while I was in the dimension, and apparently, he's one of Sonic's friends."
"Neat place you've got here" Tails commented, before noticing the dimensional portal "ooh, what's this do?"
"That's our dimensional gate" Don explained "that's how I brought you here."
"I'd sure like to take a look inside that thing" Tails replied.
"As you can see, the experiment is a success" Don said "we can allow our friends to go to and from their home dimensions, and they can bring whatever weapons or allies they need to help us."
"Good work Don" Leo said.
"Thanks, but I can't take all the credit, I did follow Dr. Wakeman's design after all" Don replied "plus some of the technology left by the Plumbers also helped."
"This is all real interesting and everything, but if you guys don't need me today, I'd like to take off" Jake said.
"Go ahead" Leo replied "so far, things have been pretty quiet."
"Thanks boss man" Jake said, as he headed off.
"Wonder what he's got planned for today?" Don asked.
"You look happier than usual today" Danny commented, as he walked down the hall with Jake.
"That's cause Rose is coming into town" Jake explained.
"Your girlfriend that lives in Hong Kong?" Danny asked.
Jake nodded in reply "yeah, her dad's got some kind of business thing in the NYC, so I figured I'd pop in to see her, and maybe we could do a date or something."
"Sounds nice" Danny said, "how many dates have you two gone on?"
"Well, the Am Drag doesn't like to brag about his romantic exploits" Jake said, "but let's just say we've done our fair share in the romance department."
"So…none then?"
Jake hung his head "the truth is, we only ever went out in our dreams" he explained "all kinds of stuff happened before we could have a real 'date' date, ya know?"
"Not really, but go on" Danny replied.
"I've never taken Rose to a fancy place before, but I really want to" Jake explained "but like, what if I mess up or something?"
"Tell you what" Danny said "how about I come with you? I'll bring Sam and we'll double date. It'll give us a chance to better know each other's girlfriends."
"You'd do that for me dawg?" Jake asked.
"Sure, as dragons go, you're all right" Danny replied "not at all like this prince I once had to battle, but that's an entirely different story."
"This is gonna be so sweet!" Jake said, "I can't to see Rose's face when I tell her the good news."
"This should be an eventful evening" Danny added.
Abandoned warehouse, 9:07, a.m.
More eventful than he thought, for at that moment, two people were making their own sinister plans.
"Hanging out in an old warehouse, this is what I've been reduced to, thanks to Jack Fenton!" Vlad Masters complained "now I have to rebuild my empire from the ground up! But I shall have my revenge, and I'll get it through his son."
"I too know what it's like to have everything taken from me" Huntsman added "and I shall revenge myself upon my traitorous apprentice, once I discover where she's hiding. And watching the dragon will lead me straight to her."
"I am certain it will only be a matter of time before our enemies make a move, and we shall make ours when they do" Vlad replied "I've sent out spies to observe them, so we'll know when to strike."
"Soon, I hope" Huntsman said.
The Long household, New York City, 4:15 p.m.
"Oh, don't you look so cute in your little suit!" Susan Long said to Jake "Jonathan, get in here and take his picture!"
"Moooom!"
"I'm sorry honey, but it's not every day that my son goes on his first real date" Mrs. Long replied.
"Remember son, never let the woman pay" Mr. Long added "I learned that the hard way with your mother."
Mrs. Long playfully nudged her husband "you did not" she said.
Their playful banter was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell ringing. Saved by the bell Jake thought happily.
Mrs. Long opened the door, to reveal Rose, dressed in an elegant blue dress and wearing a jewel necklace.
"Hello Rose, won't you come in" she said.
"Thank you Mrs. Long" Rose replied, and entered the house, standing next to Jake.
"Sweet dress Rose" Jake told her.
"Thanks" the girl replied "it's not every day a girl goes on a date, so I wanted to look my best."
"Jonathan quick, get a picture of them!" Mrs. Long shouted.
"Okay kids, say cheese" Mr. Long said, pointing a camera at them. After they got their picture taken, Haley entered the room.
"Nice suit Jake, are you going to a funeral?" she asked.
"Yeah, yours if you don't leave me alone" Jake replied.
"Now Haley dear, you know your brother is going on a date tonight" Mrs. Long said "please don't bother him, okay."
"If you say so mommy" Haley replied "if anyone needs me, I'll be up in my room studying."
After saying their goodbyes, Jake & Rose headed out the door.
"I'm totally sorry about what happened in there" Jake began.
"Don't be, I know parents can be a little embarrassing sometimes" Rose said "even mine. So, are we just going to walk to this restaurant?"
"No way, when you date the Am Drag, you travel in style" Jake said "dragon up!"
"Ooh, I get to ride on a dragon, how many girls can say they've done that?" Rose asked.
"Only one really fine mama" Jake replied, as Rose climbed on his back "yo, welcome to Jake airlines."
Unknown to them, some type of winged creature was following them…
In the next chapter, Danny prepares for the date and both boys arrive at the restaurant. Meanwhile, the villains make their move.
