"Jonny, time to wake up." Benton lightly shook Jonny awake. "Wake up, son."

"Mmph." Jonny rolled over.

"Jonathan, get up." Benton pulled Jonny's covers away. "You're going to be late for school. I still have to wake Brittany up."

Jonny jumped up. "I gotta get ready!"

Benton chuckled as Jonny ran into the bathroom. He left to wake Brittany up. Benton quickly finished getting dressed and went to the kitchen.

Jonny was already there eating breakfast. Benton was surprised since he was usually the last one ready. Then Benton understood why. Jonny was dressed in a nice shirt and his dressy pants.

"Jonny, why are you so dressed up?"

Jonny shrugged, his eyes glued to the stairs."

Benton smiled to himself.

Race came down the stairs in jeans, a sweatshirt, and carrying a sleepy Jessie, followed by Brittany.

Benton chuckled. "Race, you're treating her like royalty."

Race grinned. "Nothin' but the best for my little girl."

Brittany sat down next to Jonny and poured herself a bowl of cereal.

She and Jonny began to whisper to each other.

Benton watched as Race sat Jessie down on the counter and poured two glasses of orange juice. He walked over to Jessie. "Good morning,

Jessie. How do you feel?"

Jessie smiled. "Much better, thank you."

Benton hugged her. "I'm glad."

Race handed Jessie the glass. "Yep, and she wants to go to school this

morning."

"Please, Daddy? I don't want to stay home."

Race winked at Benton. "Well, what do you think, Benton? Should we make her stay home and have fun, or let her go to school," Race made a face, "and learn?"

Benton pretended to think. "Well, I don't know."

Jessie giggled. "School! School!"

Race shook his head. "But you have to LEARN!"

Jessie stood up on the counter and jumped onto Race's back.

Race pulled her off and held her upside down by her ankles.

Jessie giggled until her face turned red. "Lemme go!"

Jonny ran up to Race. "My turn! My turn!"

Race gently lowered Jessie to the gourd. "Sorry, kiddo. You all need to get ready for school. Especially you, Ponchita."

Jessie hugged her dad and ran off to get ready.

When she finished in the bathroom, she went to her room to get dressed. There was a note on her bed. It didn't say much, just "I'm sorry. You're best friend (I hope), Jonny."

Jessie quickly got dressed and ran to Jonny's room. Jonny's door was open and Jonny was sitting on his bed, playing with Bandit. Bandit jumped up and ran to Jessie.

Jessie laughed and knelt down. "Hey, Bandit."

Jonny knelt down next to her. "Jessie, I'm sorry for yesterday. I hope we can still be best friends."

Jessie sat up and looked at him. "What about Brittany?"

"We've been friends for a long time. But she's mean sometimes. And she's also dumb. She doesn't know what four times four is."

Jessie grinned. "Do you know?"

Jonny nodded. "Yup. It's," he paused, "um, twelve!"

"Kids! We need to leave!" Benton shouted.

Three pairs of feet thundered down the staircase.

Benton came up to Brittany. "Brittany, you're mother called. She's going to pick you up after school today since she'll be home soon."

Brittany smiled. "Thank you, Dr. Quest. Thank you, Mr. Bannon."

The three kids ran outside to the van.

Race turned to Benton. "Well, looks like Jessie and Jonny are back to

being best friends again."

Benton smiled. "Thank goodness."

Race shook his head. "Kids are about as unpredictable as the weather in

Texas."

There ya go.. and just so you know.. I like to write Race as the Race from Season 1, Jonny Quest: TRA (You can tell S1 Race from S2 Race, cause S1 Race has the southern accent, his famous expressions (Race-isms, we call em…) and so forth.

Let me know what you thought! Yes I wrote this years ago and I decided not to change any of it. Original plot, gonna stay that way! Please review!
