Jade sat in her room, trying to focus on writing an essay. A new Shen Gong Wu hadn't activated for a few weeks, and she was feeling a bit bored from the lack of excitement. Suddenly her cellphone rang. She jumped a bit at the noise, but then hurriedly reached for the phone and answered it.
"Hello?" Jade asked.
"Hey, Jade." Came Jack's voice. "Could you come over for a bit? I need your opinion on something."
Jade was a bit disappointed that it wasn't news about another Shen Gong Wu, but she agreed to go over to Jack's house. She hung up the phone, left a note for her parents about where she was, and made her way to Jack's house.
When she got there, Jack's mom answered the door and pointed Jade in the right direction. Jade carefully opened the door to the basement. From the top of the stairs she could see Jack working on a robot. Jade, not wanting to disturb Jack, quietly started walking down the stairs, watching him the whole time. She quickly realized that she should have paid more attention to where she stepped and not Jack, because halfway down the stairs she misjudged a step and tripped.
Jade let out a yelp and closed her eyes tightly as she tumbled down the stairs; she hit the bottom, landing flat on her back. She opened her eyes only to see Jack looking at her in a strange way.
"Ouch…" Jade said as she slowly stood up, a bit embarrassed. The room seemed to spin for a bit and she wobbled a little but managed to regain her balance.
"Are you okay?" Jack asked.
"Uh, yeah. I'm fine. I just kinda misjudged one of the steps." Jade felt her face turning red. "So, um…why'd you want me to come over?"
"I just needed your opinion on something." Jack said, walking back to his workbench. "It's not quite finished, but I'm almost done with it. You can watch if you want to."
"Oh. Okay, I can do that." Jade said as she walked over to Jack's workbench and watched. "So what have you been up to?"
"Nothing much." He replied. "Just this."
There was a few minutes of silence between the two before it was interrupted by a high-pitched beeping noise. The Shen Gong Wu detector was going off.
"I'll have to finish this later. Come on." Jack said, as he motioned for Jade to follow him to his rocket-car.
