"That's the house next door to mine," Jett said super shocked (I'm using 571 Maple Drive as his address cause I'm not sure what his real one is).
"Wow, what are the chances of that?" Crystal said with a small laugh as they neared her house.
"Yeah," Jett said with a smile as they walked up the driveway and up the porch to the front door. "So, when did you move in? I never saw any moving trucks."
"Do you want to come in for a minute and have a drink?" Crystal asked unlocking the door and going in.
"Sure," Jett said following Crystal through the house to the kitchen.
"Do you want Coke, Mountain Dew, or Sierra Mist?" Crystal asked opening the fridge.
"So when did you move here?" Jett asked again. "Sierra Mist is fine."
"Well, my family has owned this house for about fifty years now, nobody has lived here for the last twenty, though," Crystal said handing Jett a can of Sierra Mist. "I just moved in with my mom a month ago."
"Then why haven't I seen you in school?" Jett asked sitting down on a stool at the kitchen island across from Crystal.
"Home school, I'm getting my diploma in about two days," she said. "I'm already doing collage computer technology classes and a couple of psychology classes. Plus I like to keep a little more private than most people realize."
Jett just sat there quietly not sure what to say.
"There's a lot more to it than most people realize," Crystal said right before the phone next to her rang.
"Hello," she said answering it, "Oh, hi, Ames…Yes, I've already started patrolling…No, I haven't seen anything strange yet…Everything arrived yesterday…Jason is staying at a near by motel…I'll ask him…Alright…Bye, Ames."
When Crystal turned around, Jett saw that she had a look of worry, and almost, pure terror, on her face.
"Is everything ok?" Jett asked unsure what else to say as she sat back down across from him.
"Yeah, everything's fine," Crystal said with a forced smile trying to hide something. "That was my mom, she has to stay in Paris another week so she can take care of some last minute things. She was just calling to check up on me."
"I should be going now," Jett said noticing that Crystal seemed uncomfortable all of a sudden.
"Ok," she said as they walked to the door.
"See ya, tomorrow," Jett said as he walked out the door and to the left towards his house.
"See ya," Crystal yelled after him before he got to his yard.
"Hey dad," Jett said as he walked through the front door.
"Where've you been, Jett?" Wood Jackson asked.
"Next door, why?" Jett asked.
"Your mom's in the kitchen waiting for you," Wood said before Jett took off at full speed toward the kitchen.
"Hey, mom, I'm sorry for being late," Jett said when he got to the kitchen.
"It's ok, I heard you got a new co-star on the show," Jett's mom said standing up and giving him a hug.
"Yeah, actually I was showing her around town," Jett explained. "Her name's Crystal Jewels, and she live next door."
"Next door," his mom said a little surprised.
"Yeah," Jett replied.
"Well, are you ready to go?" his mom asked quickly changing the subject.
"Yeah," Jett said before they went out to her car.

Next chapter will be out as soon as I'm over the first day of school homework rush. Or it may be out sooner. Pleaz r/r. I'd love to hear what you think about it as long as it's not a flame. I can't take flames their worse than not getting any reviews, and THAT is bad enough. Also this chapter was longer in my notebook than it is in my word program.
