"W-w-w-wait! Don't you guys wanna, uhh... Watch that robot science Thingy with my Mom?" Jenny shouted, attempting to back-peddle, while her friends strained in their effort to drag Jenny to the television.

"Normally I would watch robot science documentaries, but I'll pass, just so you have someone to cling onto in fear." Sheldon swooned. Digging her feet into the ground (and sending Tucker and Brad tumbling), Jenny looked at Sheldon in disgust.

"I'll watch...that movie...but only if Tucker sits next to me...and I get an end of the couch!" Jenny exclaimed. Brad and Tucker made some whoop sounds, while they dragged Jenny off, leaving Sheldon to wallow in failure at his latest attempt at Jenny's heart.

"Well...at least she is going to watch the movie now. Maybe Tucker will freak out and have to go home."

"OH MY GOD! OHMYGOD, OHMYGOD, OHMYGOD! That thing is supposed to hit her, isn't it? Get out of there, girl! EEKKK, IT'S STARTING UP! Oh man...oh man, OH MAN! IT'S GONNA-AHHH, IT HIT HER!"

"Jeeze, Jen. You're freaking out more than Tucker! You need to reeelaaaax. Nothing to fear, either! The Bradster is here." Brad said with a relaxed and smooth tone. Jenny wasn't listening, however, as she was too busy covering her face with a pillow. Just as Sheldon was reaching around Tucker to place his arm around Jenny, the power went out. In his surprise, he grasped Jenny's shoulder hard, causing her to shriek, promptly followed by her pummeling the rest of Sheldon out of reaction. After a search for everyone in the dark, a first aid kit, and some bandages later, everyone collected in the atrium where the annual Menution invasion was again dealt with a few months ago.

"I should probably head back home, guys. My Grandma might need some help." Sheldon said with a sigh. Just as Brad was about to say something on the subject, Mrs. Wakeman made an appearance.

"Not in this weather, you're not. It's a full blown blizzard out there! Mr. Lee, I phoned your Grandmother at the beginning of the outage, and she requested you stay the night. You two are spending the night here, as well, particularly since your parents are out of the country."

Mrs. Wakeman Stated in a tone of finality. Turning her gaze to focus on Jenny, Mrs. Wakeman spoke again. "XJ-9, I need to speak with you in private, immediately."

Thrown by her mother's sudden request, Jenny made a hasty 'be right back' motion to Brad and company. Following her mother to the linen closet located on the top floor in silence, she became uneasy. Had she done something wrong, or was it what she had asked about? Was she outdated? Unable to stand the silence any longer, Jenny broke the ice.

"So...what is it you wanted to talk about, mom?" Jenny asked with a sheepish grin. Worried about the reply, she also started scratching the back of her head. When her mother span around, Jenny flinched, but she was surprised to see a look completely different than what she expected.

"What's the Boys name, XJ-9?" Mrs. Wakeman demanded with a devilish grin.

"Boy? What boy?" Jenny said with a cocked eyebrow.

"Oh, please, XJ-9! It was even reported on the Tremorton News at 9! It interrupted my documentary! How you're in contact with an extremely handsome and rich teenager! What's his name?"

Extremely confused now, all Jenny managed to stammer was an "I-I, but I..." before being cut off by her mother.

"Oh, fine XJ-9, don't tell me...just be careful who you interact with!" Mrs. Wakeman said happily, while she returned to the basement with linens, blankets, and pillows. Jenny stood, rooted to the spot, looking extremely dumbfounded.

"A rich, handsome guy? Maybe Don Prima...? Ohh, I'll figure out that mystery later."

Upon returning to the basement where the three boys were setting up their makeshift beds, Jenny handed them all flashlights. "I know you guys have been in my house alot, and know the layout during the day, but...the house is really different in the dark. I got lost in it during my first night watch." Jenny stated, recalling her panic in the dark with a shudder. Noticing Jenny didn't have one for herself, Sheldon jumped up in an attempt to be a gentleman.

"I noticed that you don't have one Jenny, so if you need anything during the night, feel free to wake me up! It won't bother me in the slightest." Sheldon stated proudly, with his chest puffed out. Jenny slouched over at Sheldon's latest attempt, and in a lazy response flicked her eyes over into flashlight mode.

"Thanks for the offer Sheldon, but I'm fine with these." Jenny stated boredly. After a few moments more of getting the boys comfy, Jenny brought out a couple board games.

"My mom had these stashed away somewhere and handed them to me. I don't think they're working right though, I looked at them earlier and the silly things wouldn't turn on." Jenny said in a defeated tone. Brad and Tucker looked at each other and laughed, but Sheldon looked at them angrily.

"Its not her fault! Shes only been around 7 years!" Sheldon shouted in her defence. Looking back at Jenny, Sheldon began to explain.

"Most older board games don't have electronic parts to them Jenny, they work by manually moving the parts with your hands and fingers. These, for example," Sheldon was saying as he grabbed some whiteish cubes, "are dice. You shake them in your hand and let go of them. They end up telling you a number, and you use that number to do various functions in the games, depending on the game itself. Sometimes its how many spaces you move your little character, sometimes its to tell you how much damage you inflict on an enemy player's character. There are rules for board games which also tell you how to play. Which game did you want to look at first?" In response to Sheldon's question, Jenny took a look at the stack of games they had, and picked on at random.

"This one, maybe...? Its so dusty and worn, I can't tell what game it is." Jenny said in a tone of curiosity. After opening up the box, the four friends found that the game was called Monopoly.

"Monopoly..? I think I've heard of this game before, in History class." Brad mentioned with his eyebrows scrunched. The group took about half an hour trying to figure out how to set the game up, and were still not entirely sure what the rules ultimately stated, so they gave up on any of the board games, and took to swapping stories. Jenny was the one who talked, mostly, as once she recalled the story of her first fight, Tucker and Brad pestered her for more stories of adventures, while Sheldon sat in quiet reverence of his Hostess. Just as Jenny was recalling her horrific near death experience on the inside of Armageddroid with Killgore, Jenny's pigtails started moving around. Not skipping a beat, Jenny removed all outbound power cables from her and rushed upstairs to her mother to see what was wrong.

"XJ-9! There is a commercial airliner going down to the south of the carribean country of Toboco! The local authorities have requested your assistance!" Mrs. Wakeman shouted to her daughter as she opened up the ceiling hatch for Jenny to fly out. "You must leave straight away! This is a priority call, there are 154 souls on-board! You cannot fail! We don't have time to attach your extra fuel tanks for your boosters, but you should have enough to land safely and arrange for refuel once you reach the tarmac!" Mrs. Wakeman paused to await clearance for flight from Skyway Patrol, the only section of Skyway Patrol not suffering from the Bureaucracy the rest of the organization has to deal with.

"You are clear for takeoff, G.R.R.U. XJ-9." came the bored voice of an airways controller. Not even waiting for the controller to say "Have a safe flight", Jenny was already in the outskirts of town, battling the feirce blizzard that was constantly knocking her off-course. After finally getting out of the storm system, Jenny looked at her GPS system to see that she had flown over 5 states already, but was facing a bit too far to the east. She shot upwards to space, adjusted her course towards the Carribean, droped towards the earth again, amd began scanning for the aircraft in distress.
