In the air looking for another Shen Gong Wu? I am happy to say enough that we're not for a change. Jack just wanted to go out for some reason in the jet. He put one hand on the throttle while I leaned against the glass watching the serene scenery go by, we had been flying for nearly half an hour. Coming up to a mountainous area he hovered over an area of green grass at the mouth of a lake that glossed the mountains reflection. The landing gear made a grinding noise as he flipped the switch, "I'll need to look at that." He said, but I held up my hand, "Don't bother, I will." I smiled. He flushed a pink color, "You never cease to amaze me…" Clearing his throat he lowered the jet flipping up the hatch.

"What are we doing here Jack?" I asked looking around. Getting out Jack wondered to my side offering his hand I got up, but tripped over the side of the jet as I fell he caught me, his goggles falling half over his eyes. Giggling I put the other side of his goggles over his eyes, "Thanks Jack…" Hopping from his arms I took in a deep breath of the mountain breeze, "It's beautiful up here." Jack came up behind me putting his hands on both sides of my arms, "Not as beautiful as yourself…" He sounded like this came out from a lump in his throat; I could even feel his hands getting hot.

Putting his goggles back on his forehead he sat down as he motioned me to sit next to him. Happily sitting next to him I laid my head on his shoulder, "Why would a girl as fascinating as you…fall for a guy like me?" He asked. Sighing I stretched my arms and laid back, "You are the guy who no one would expect to be courageous, sweet, and incredibly witty. You're smart, funny, and the last person someone would expect me to…like…No one has gotten a chance to really know who you are Jack Spicer…" Jack wiped a stray tear from his face, "You are the only girl who has ever talked to me that way, well, the only girl whose ever talked to me." He said.

There was a cackling that ruptured around the area. Shooting up from where I was my eyes wondered around the area to see a figure appear closer and closer. Before I knew it Chase Young was standing right in front of us. Jack's eyes twinkled, "Chase Young in the flesh! What can I do for you, anything at all?" Chase's eyes flashed yellow as he turned into a giant lizard, his claws swiping to the side. "You can get out of my way Spicer…You pose too much of a threat and you must be eradicated!" He said. Jack started with a smile, "Oh definitely Chase I…wait…" Jack's smile dispersed to a drooping lip, "Eradicate me?" Chase swiped his claw at Jack who went flying and screaming into the side of the mountain.

"Don't you get it Chase, I won't work for you and I never will!" I snapped. Chase laughed, "You want Jack to live?" He asked as I turned around looking at Jack, Wuya was holding him by his ankles, but she was in her solid form and held a green energy to Jack who was unconscious. Clenching my fists I growled, "Do not get me angry Chase Young, I don't care if you have Wuya on your side, you still can't win…" I said, my eye wandering towards the jet behind me thinking of an escape plan. Normally I wasn't one to run, but this would end badly and wasn't about to lose Jack to Wuya or Chase. "Then what are you going to do Rachel?" Chase asked motioning towards Jack.

My fists started to glow and Chase looked pleased with this Wuya shrieking, "Well what are you waiting for Chase?" Chase held up his hand hissing, "Patience Wuya, hold your tongue!" He said. Taking a few steps forward towards him I said, "Mantis Flip Coin!" Leaping backwards into the air into the jet I motioned my hand towards Jack, "Ruby of Ramses!" As Jack's whole body glowed a red and flew into the jet with me I quickly closed the hatch, but Chase leaped up onto the top and started punching at the top hissing violently. Flipping the ignition switches I gritted my teeth, "Come on!" I put Jack's goggles back on his eyes as the jet burst forward and I pulled up hard on the control wheel.

Chase was still on the top as he ripped off the top, air flowing into the cockpit as alarms blared and Chase swiped at Jack constantly. Strapping Jack in I shot upwards my head becoming dizzy with the g force; Chase was flung to the back hanging onto the rudder. "Alright you gigantic lizard, this is where you get off!" Snapping the wheel forward I felt my face peel back as I heard Chase screaming, flying off of the jet falling to the ground. Holding onto my chest I put the jet back to cruising speed, lowering the throttle my eyes burned from the wind. I tried putting up the landing gear which was creating drag, but it would just grind and make a heinous noise.

Landing on the outside of the lair in the driveway I whipped off the seat belt and ran my fingers through my hair, "Man…" Turning back toward Jack who was just coming to I rubbed my forehead, "Oh thank goodness…" Jack's eyes grew huge with sadness, "What happened to my jet?" He asked. Rolling my eyes I jumped out of the jet as he followed behind me nearly falling on his face, "What did I miss?" He insisted. Turning around quickly I hugged him tightly, "You don't need to know, and point is it is all fine now…" I said. Jack's face turned tomato hot red, hesitantly hugging me, "Okay…" He said going back into the lair.

Following him I started grabbing tools as he passed out on the couch and a pair of goggles that I put over my eyes I went back out to the jet and crawled under it starting to work at the landing gear, a drop of oil falling onto my face, "That would explain the noise…" I said taking a wrench loosening a few bolts I swapped them out with new ones. Finishing with the front landing gear I hopped into the cockpit and hovered in the air as I heard the nice smooth sound of the gear moving up, "Beautiful…" I smiled as I set it back down then I heard a loud pop from the back. Moving under the belly of the jet again I started working on the popping noise from the rear landing gear which was jammed.

I had been working for nearly an hour when I felt a tug on my boots and a face right up to mine, "Why hello there…" Jack said smiling deviously. Laughing I pushed his face aside and took off my jacket, putting the goggles on my forehead leaving my red undershirt on, Jack clearing his throat, his eyes trying to wander. Taking a cloth I wiped the mess of oil and grease off of my face and hands, "Well, your landing gear is fixed and now…just the top…" I said sighing looking at the sad shattered hatch. Climbing up the side I started to unbolt the remains of the hatch when I felt a hand on my arm as Jack climbed up to me taking the tool from me stared into my eyes, I felt my cheeks get warm.

"I am terrified, to say this, I can't believe I am saying this…" He started, "I know I have said this a lot, how amazing you are. Kind, generous, clever, courageous…and at the same time evil…but…how to be evil and kind at the same time…? I am amazed with your power…but more with who you are…and…and…" He looked stumped, lifting up his chin I smiled, "You Jack Spicer, are on a role…what's stopping you?" I asked, a few brief pausing moments later Jack continued, "I…I like you, but…more than like…" He started again as I held my fingers to his lips, my lips curving to a half smile, "Oh Jack…you are such a klutz, but I…like…like you too…" Quickly kissing his lips he held me in close as if taking in the moment.

I had to catch myself as I found myself leaning more into him as if in a daze. Jack's lips twirled to a smile like several times before, "You're impressed with me aren't you?" Pushing him back I laughed, "Jack Spicer!" Before he fell his helibot came open from his back and he hovered laughing, pointing an index finger at me, "Hahaha!" He burst out. Putting the goggles back on my eyes I pointed to the new hatch, "Be useful Jack Spicer and lift that up here would you?"

Putting the red hatch onto the top I bolted down the back and played with the hydraulics. Slipping on a grease spot the tool flew out of my hand as Jack caught me under my arms. Smiling up at him I managed, "Oops…" Smiling the tool smacked him in the head as he cried out, "Ow!" Flinching at him he continued fighting back tears, "You are something else Rachel…" He said placing me back where I was holding me up by my waist; I found my legs wobbly and my face hot finding it hard to concentrate on bolting in the rivets. He just smiled, "Don't fall again now…"

Jack looked out in the distance, "Is that…cheese head?" He asked. Putting the goggles on my forehead Jack lifted me down to the ground as he landed next to me, "It is, what does he want?" I wondered. Omi had no Shen Gong Wu, but his hands were folded neatly together, "Thanks to you, we have been getting more Shen Gong Wu, but there is a new threat, Chase Young." He said. Favoring one hip I pointed out my tool to him, "So did you get your Shen Gong Wu back?" I asked. Omi smiled brightly, "Oh yes, Chase wasn't even home! We slipped right under his face!" He said. I tapped my chin, but Jack leaned in towards me, "Right under his nose…" He said. Omi continued, "We hear he is after you, and I was wondering if you had considered my offer before, about coming to the temple?" Omi asked.

Shaking my head I smiled wrapping my arm around Jack, "No thanks Omi, I'm staying here, thank you for the offer though. I can guarantee you Chase Young will be at your temple very soon…" I said, Omi tilting his head, "What makes you say that?" He asked. I motioned towards the jet, "We had a run in with him and Wuya, barely got away too." I said a large rumbling echoing in the distance, Omi's glance shooting towards the area of the rumbling, "The temple!" Jumping a few times Omi was already half way gone from us, Jack asking, "How did you know that?" Shrugging I managed, "Call me psychic, but I think Chase is being clichéd…getting to me by getting to you, trying to distract me…"

Jack tilted his head at me, "Well, are you distracted?" He pulled me in closer to him. Honking his nose I laughed, "Yes…but not by Chase Young…"
