Dudley tried getting off his bed, but had trouble.

"Morning already?", he asked still drowsy.

He then turned to see his alarm clock still ringing and he smashed it with his fist or at least tried but he missed and hit the desk it was on instead. Luckily he clicked it off and tried to stand.

"Better start the day.", he said with a yawn.

"Dudley!", called Peg from outside, "Did you stay up past bedtime?!"

For the record, Dudley spent the night in his tree house, but every so often, Peg came knocking. Now Dudley was sleep deprived and kind of sour and he certainly had a mood when this went off.

"I'm getting there Mom!", he yelled back.

Peg didn't answer, but after Dudley splashed some cold water on his face, he felt more awake. He then made himself some cereal and got his shirt on. He was about to go but stopped suddenly.

"Oh right. Jeremiah expects me to wear pants."

"And don't you forget it."

Dudley turned to see Jeremiah on his windowsill.

"Jeremiah?", Dudley asked completely in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Jeremiah smiled.

"I heard you practiced the Air techniques last night and didn't sleep til three this morning. Also I was bored and thought I'd drop in."

Dudley frowned.

"Why are you really here?"

"I came to pick you up.", Jeremiah answered still smiling, "You're not a good driver when you're tired. Also you'll sleep on the ride over."

"Touche.", Dudley said, "Just as soon as I get my pants."

Dudley went into the bathroom and after a couple crash sounds, Jeremiah knocked.

"Is everything alright in there?"

"Just dandy.", Dudley called.

Jeremiah opened the door and saw Dudley clearly was having trouble with his pants.

"I think I should help.", Jeremiah stated.

"I assure you Jeremiah that I can get my pants on.", Dudley said proudly.

That was when Dudley slipped on the soap and after flipping a couple times, landed face first on the floor in front of Jeremiah. Dudley looked up with a guilty look on his face.

"Can you please help?"

Jeremiah raised an eyebrow. Then he took out the element device he used that one time and set it to Air.

"Jeremiah?", Dudley asked, "What are you doing?"

"Helping."

Jeremiah flew his palm forward and a small tornado spiraled toward Dudley sweeping him off the floor and his pants slipped on with hardly any effort. Then it dispersed and Dudley landed on his feet with his pants on.

On Jeremiah's bike, Dudley slept a little. Jeremiah looked at him still smiling.

"Well, he's on day two and already he's showing dedication. Should I tell him the secret of Air? Nah. Why ruin the experience?"

Dudley woke right away.

"There's a secret?", he asked.

Jeremiah didn't answer.

"Can you tell me?", Dudley asked.

Jeremiah still didn't answer. Then they pulled over to the Park where Dudley and Jeremiah practiced yesterday. Jeremiah led Dudley to the same field.

"What is Air?", Jeremiah asked.

"What's that have to do with mastery of elements?", Dudley asked.

Jeremiah looked concerned.

"Air is a very powerful force. Elements are a force unlike any other you used. Mastery of Air requires something you need to do."

Jeremiah took out the element device he had and helped Dudley strap it on.

"Now watch closely."

Jeremiah stepped a good three feet away and set his device to Air. Slowly he waved each arm around and small gusts formed a cyclone around his feet. As the air got faster, Jeremiah still looked calm and collected. Then Jeremiah stopped and pressed both arms forward and the winds around him dispersed.

"Now you.", Jeremiah said.

"What no directions?", Dudley asked.

"All you need to know is to let go.", Jeremiah said.

"Let go of what?", Dudley asked.

Jeremiah didn't answer. Dudley then followed Jeremiah's movements and slowly, the same thing happened. Dudley closed his eyes and heard the air whipping around him as if it was alive. Then he felt as if he was being lifted. He stopped for a moment and opened his eyes. After seeing the wind cyclone he made around him, he pressed both arms forward and the cyclone dispersed.

"Well it looks like you learned something.", Jeremiah said.

"Learned something?", Dudley asked.

"Air is to let go of all your concerns and distractions.", Jeremiah said, "Only then can mastery be obtained."

They trained until nine before leaving.

At TUFF, Dudley walked in to see that the decor was changed. Normally it was the usual office but today it had Arabia style rugs, furniture, tables and such.

"What's going on?", Dudley asked out loud.

Keswick was nearby so he answered.

"We got an order from Arabian internal decorations in the mail today. Herbert ordered them for the culture theme of the day."

Herbert hopped over and landed on Dudley's nose.

"Dudley, you look a little winded."

"Sorry Chief.", Dudley said, "I was up all night trying to perfect some control techniques. By the way, where's Kitty?"

"She's helping with the decorations in the back.", Keswick said, "Herbert and I will keep an eye out if anything comes up."

Dudley went in the back only to find fancy curtains where a door normally was. After pulling them back, he found Kitty who was putting a full length mirror in place near a dressing room.

"Hey Kitty. ", Dudley said, "You busy?"

Kitty turned to face him.

"I just finished up here. What's with you?"

Dudley sighed.

"I trained all night trying to get Air down, but I can't seem to get it into place."

Kitty walked over and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, you'll get there. By the way I see it, you'll master Air in no time."

Dudley felt better. Kitty always knew what to say to cheer him up.

"Hey Kitty, I was wondering something."

"What's that?", Kitty asked.

"Kitty, can I take you out?", Dudley asked, "Maybe with you around I'll be able to get Air down for sure."

Kitty smiled.

"Sure. I'd like that."

Just then, the alarm went off. Kitty and Dudley hurried into the room to see a crime underway. Apparently there was a disturbance in the market district and as usual, Kitty and Dudley were sent to investigate.

It didn't seem like a big deal, but when they got there, they notice that it was Damian with a couple of his underworld soldiers causing calamity. Damian saw Dudley coming and pressed his hand forward.

"Oh look. Target practice."

A blazing fireball shot out and aimed right for the car. Kitty managed to swerve out of the way barely as Damian's soldiers opened fire. Dudley however looked in awe.

"How did he do that?", he asked as he noticed Damian's shot.

"I overheard you were practicing elements.", Damian snickered, "So I took the liberty to see which element I could master. Care to test your might?"

Kitty took a couple blasters and took on Damian's goons while Dudley took Damian on. Then he noticed something: he didn't have the device Jeremiah had to control elements. Damian saw this and smiled devilishly.

"What's wrong? Can't call anything to aid you?"

Damian swirled a hand in the air and a large ring of fire erupted around Dudley sealing him off from moving and the heat was pretty bad too. Dudley staggered under the heat, but just when it looked like it was over, Dudley tried something. As he did the cyclone technique he learned, the flames blew back and the heat went down. Damian looked impressed( or pretended to be) as he fired several shots of flames at Dudley. Dudley tried to maintain the cyclone, but he felt a strain as he focused harder a couple other cyclones formed the same way Jeremiah had shown the first time only then they dispersed as Dudley dropped exhausted. As the fire shots were deflected, Damian and his goons shimmered and vanished. Dudley and Kitty stopped fighting then they turned to see Jeremiah and Iris standing nearby with a hologram projector.

"Nice work.", Jeremiah said, "You almost had it."

Dudley and Kitty looked perplexed.

"What's going on?", they asked together.

"A training exercise.", Jeremiah said, "Dudley had to learn how to counter other elements and Kitty could use a sharper combat edge. So Iris and I made a little phone call and arranged Herbert to set up a place for the hologram testing."

"Wait, so this mission was a false alarm?", Kitty asked.

"And the fleeing pedestrians and damage were all fake?", Dudley added.

"Yeah pretty much.", Iris said.

The area shimmered too and all the damage disappeared to reveal nothing bad happened.

Back at TUFF, Dudley couldn't help but feel a little concerned. Jeremiah normally didn't fake him out like this, but he also knew it was a good way to test his Air abilities. As Kitty and him got ready to end the day, he noticed that Jeremiah and Iris were outside and Jeremiah's bike wasn't out.

"What are you here for?", Dudley asked, "Another training program?"

"Nothing like that.", Jeremiah said, "I heard you two were going out so Iris and I would like to accompany you."

"I'll get the car.", Kitty said as she turned to leave.

"That won't be required.", Jeremiah stated, "You two don't want to go for a flight do you?"

"Flight? As in fly?", Dudley asked.

"Precisely.", Jeremiah said.

Dudley looked confused.

"Don't you need a jet pack or something?"

Jeremiah got a gleam in his eye.

"Dudley, it's time you learned to extend your wings."

"My what?". Dudley asked.

"His what?", Kitty asked just as fast.

Jeremiah didn't say anything. He just stood there as a giant pair of bird wings shot from his back and folded neatly behind him. Dudley and Kitty were stunned.

"How can you do that?", Dudley asked.

"Just hold Kitty and I'll give you a head start.", Jeremiah said calmly as he walked over.

Dudley cautiously held Kitty in his arms still looking confused.

"Okay, now what?"

Jeremiah just hurled Dudley straight up into the air with a huge thrust that Dudley and Kitty shot up like a rocket. As they got a good few hundred feet in the air, they began to come down. As the ground got closer and closer, Dudley and Kitty started to get worried until they stopped suddenly. Luckily they were in front of a reflective window so they could see why they stopped falling. Extending from Dudley's back were the same wings Jeremiah had and Jeremiah came up beside him with Iris sitting in his arm with her own around his neck.

"Now begins your first flying lesson."

Jeremiah leaned forward with Dudley following and just like that, they were off. As they flew Dudley felt like nothing he felt ever.

"How did we get these?", he asked Jeremiah.

"No idea.", Jeremiah stated, "Just roll with it."

They flew all afternoon and late into the night flying anywhere they could. They flew across the lake making wake as they flew by, above the clouds gazing at the countless stars glittering like diamonds in a pond, even through the Petropolis orchards where they got a couple apples and finally they wrapped the whole thing up with a visit to China Town. All four seated comfortably on a roof as they watched the Chinese parade going on below. Finally, it was late and Dudley flew Kitty home with Jeremiah and Iris following.

"Goodnight Kitty.", Dudley said as he set Kitty on her newly installed balcony(she had this built a while ago).

"Sleep well Dudley.", Kitty answered.

Then it happened again. Dudley and Kitty felt like getting closer and closer, but then this happened:

"Dudley!", Peg called from a few blacks down, "It's almost bedtime!"

Dudley and Kitty just settled for a hug and as Dudley flew home, Jeremiah smacked himself across the forehead with his free hand.

"Dang. Missed again."

They flew off and Dudley meanwhile had flown into his tree house and shortly after landing, his wings slid back into his shoulders. He hardly felt anything physically, but mentally he was a bit bummed he missed yet another kiss. He took a bath and got into bed.

"What a day. I almost got Air down and I learned I got wings. What else can Jeremiah and I do?"

Just before he drifted off, he felt a bump on his back and he saw his wings out again.

"This is going to take some getting used to."
