When Maddie got to the kitchen and explained the situation to Jack and Jazz, it took both girls to keep one Jack Fenton from rushing to the basement to aid his son. The last thing he needed was to be crowded right now, and the best thing they could do for him was to give him some space. Or, at least, that's what Jazz said. Making her way back downstairs with breakfast in hand, Maddie couldn't help but think that all this stress was going to make her gray early.

Once she reached the bottom, she saw that Danny was patiently sitting where she left him, kicking his 'feet' through the water. Turning around, his head frills perked up when they noticed her, or more specifically, the food she was holding. Chuckling to herself, she handed the plate to the excited boy. Taking the plate from his mother, Danny immediately dug into his food, happy to have something to eat. Several minutes later, he had cleaned the plate of all it's contents. Looking back, he saw his mother standing there with a gently smile on her face. Without saying a word, she stuck her hand out for the plate; Danny giving it to her. Now that the food had settled, he was getting extremely sleepy; he didn't sleep much last night. His exhaustion must have shown on his face, because Maddie started helping him back down into the water, where he sunk to the bottom. Laying down, he mouthed a 'thank you' and then he was out like a light.

_LINE BREAK_

Emotionally exhausted, despite it still being morning, Maddie flopped down on the couch with a sigh. Sitting down next to her mom, Jazz showed her concern.

"You okay, mom?"

Turning her weary gaze to her daughter, "I'm fine sweetie. Just tired is all. This is a lot."

Biting her lip in indecision, Jazz seemingly made up her mind about something. "Why don't you and Dad take a day off, and I'll watch him."

Shaking her head, "No, we can't leave him, Jazz."

"Mom. You won't help anyone if you're too tired to do anything. Trust me. Take the night off with Dad, and I'll watch him. And if anything happens, I'll call you."

"Oh, I suppose." Jumping up from her position on the couch and running upstairs, "Jack!"

_LINE BREAK_

"Now remember to call us if anything goes wrong. And don't leave your brother alone for too long."

"Yes, mom. I got it. Now go."

"BYE JAZZERINCESS, KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR BROTHER FOR US!"

"Go!" With that, she pushed her parents out the door. Sighing in relief when they were finally gone, she made her way to the basement to check on her brother. When she got down there, she saw Danny sitting on the floor of the tank, looking bored out of his mind. It made sense, she supposed. She made a mental note to laminate some of his comics for him to read. Knocking on the glass, she met her brother's gaze.

Upon seeing her, his face lit up, and he pushed himself to the surface, then over to the side where he held on so he wouldn't have to tread water.

"Hey, Jazz."

"Hey, little brother. How you doing?"

"Good, all things considered. Bored out of my mind though."

"I figured as much. Do you want to come upstairs and watch some tv?"

"That would be great! But how..." He trailed off as Jazz started climbing to the top of the tank. Bending down, she held her arms out.

"Oh no! That is so embarrassing!" Jazz, in response, merely raised a single eyebrow. Sulking, he relented. "Fine." He latched himself onto the platform where his sister was waiting patiently, then hefted himself up to sit on it. Nodding to herself, seemingly pleased, she bent down the rest of the way, and picked her brother up bridal style. The boy in question grumbling the whole way. Slowly, as not to drop him, she made her way up the stairs and into the living room. Danny had to admit, it felt so nice to finally see something else other than the lab. Setting her brother down on the sofa, the older sibling went into the other room. Coming back with a blanket in hand, she went over to the kitchen sink and stuck the whole thing under the faucet. Walking back to where she left her brother, she draped the soaking wet cloth over him. Smiling at Jazz in gratitude, he turned his attention to his surroundings. It felt REALLY good to be out of that damn lab.

That evening was spent watching tv and laughing at stupid jokes. It wasn't until later that night that something went wrong. It was around 9:00, when the young teen was half asleep leaned against his sister. He awoke with a start, however, when he felt a pulling on his legs. It was then, he also noticed he couldn't move them. After feeling a pulling on her shirt, Jazz looked down to see the very panicked face of her brother. Immediately on high alert, "Danny? What's wrong?"

He rasped out, "My legs..." Eyes widening, she looked down at the offenders, but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. That is, until, she noticed weird movement under the boxers. (NOT LIKE THAT, YOU PERVS XD)

Looking to her brother for permission, and after receiving it in the form of a subtle nod, she gently started sliding the boxers off. She stopped halfway, however, when she saw what was wrong. The top half of his legs were starting to fuse themselves together. Looking over to her brother, they seemed to come to the same conclusion.

'What do we do now?'
