Jenny is in sleep mode until 6 AM rolls around and her systems activate. 'Good morning self' is the message that greets her from her eyes. She lets out a yawn, stretching her arms. "Another 8 hours of uneventful sleep mode successfully completed."
"Aah!" She hears Tuck screaming from down the street. "M-Monster!"
She dashes out the bedroom window and crashes into Tuck's room through the wall. She lifts up the racecar bed as she looks around, but doesn't find any danger. "Um, Jen, you might wanna try the door next time," He suggests just as Ms. Mecha flies in from the hole in the wall.
"Oh, Tuck, not again!" She complains at this, crossing her arms. "I thought we both told you not to call for us if it's not an emergency. Unless you would like a reminder."
"Cool, Ms. Mecha's in my room!" Tuck points to her and she raises a brow as he misses the point. Brad opens up the door, his hair a mess.
"What's all the racket?" He rubs at his eyes.
"Tuck was screaming about a monster, but it seems to have run off," Jenny explains to him and Amy shakes her head slowly. Tuck laughs and Jenny just looks confused at him for this reaction.
"There's no monster, you sill robot. I was just having a dream."
"A dream?" She's even more confused since when she goes to sleep mode, all she gets is a black screen until she wakes up. The trio glance at each other and then look back at her.
"You don't know what dreams are?" Brad questions in disbelief. "Dreams are images that enter your subconscious mind when you sleep. But they're not all nightmares. People have awesome dreams where impossible things happen."
She raises an eye and then he gets why. "Well, I guess you can't really understand dreams unless you've had one."
"Why?!" Amy exclaims at him and he looks confused.
"What?"
Jenny opens the door to her house as Brad's words sink in for her. "Well, I guess you can't really understand dreams unless you've had one...had one...had one...had one."
"Can I have one?!" Jenny exclaims in agony to her mother in her lab.
"One what, dear?" Dr. Wakeman asks, her back turned to Jenny.
"A dream."
"A dream?" She raises her eyebrows in alarm. "What do androids dream of?" She rubs her chin. "Electric sheep? An interesting project. I'll put it on my list of things to do. My long, long, incredibly long list of things to do," As soon as she says this, Jenny drops her arms in dismay, a deep frown on her face.
She grumbles as she sits in bed, her arms crossed as it's now nighttime. "Great, another night of dreamless sleep function."
The door knocks and she glances to it to see her mother peeking in. "Are you still awake?" She asks excitedly. "I've come up with a new dream program," She holds up a chip for Jenny, who sits up with a happy smile on her face.
"I don't believe it. What about your long list of things to do?"
"I put this on the top of the list," She reveals to Jenny, winking at her. "Now, open up." Jenny turns her head around and opens up her panel. Dr. Wakeman reaches in to fiddle around and when she hears a snap, the two smile. Jenny turns back to her mom. "The chip will automatically kick in when you enter sleep mode, and send you into dream mode."
"Dream mode!" Jenny responds excitedly and the woman stands at the door, gripping the doorknob.
"Sweet dreams," She chuckles as she turns around and closes the door behind her.
Jenny lays down in bed, snoring quickly so she could get to dream mode as soon as possible. As she does so, dream mode turns on and she opens her eyes, finding herself in a soft, colorful and bright world with lots of creatures in town. It seems to be a fairytale land given the fairies and trolls. All of them seem to be line going towards a building. Don Prima is greeting people as Jenny enters as a fairy. She looks up ahead, seeing that Amy is the fairy queen, smiling happily at her people. Don Prima offers his hands and a banana appears from it. "That banana is larger than soup," Jenny speaks distortedly to him.
He speaks in gibberish and the banana turns into a bunny, flying into the sky. The two hold each other as they dance, twirling around and floating into the air.
"Oh my gosh, and then I enjoyed a glass of juice for the first time..." The next day at school, Jenny's recounting her dream to her friends. "Orange juice! It tasted like apple. Then Don and I sat in a hot tub and I didn't electrocute him!" Brad looks away, annoyed. Amy just flips through her book.
"You know, Jen, dreams are more fun to have than to hear about," He remarks since he didn't need to hear her dreams.
"Oh, shut up," Amy elbows him and he grunts, rubbing his arm. "Not that I'm not happy for you, Jen, but we're also in class," She reminds her robot friend. She doesn't mind hearing about Jenny's dreams, Brad was just being a hypocrite. "I'm sure it's as exciting as it sounds, but that's reserved for nighttime."
"I know exactly what you mean. You can't really understand dreams until you've had one, and boy, did I have one. Did I tell you about the hot tub?" The bell rings, interrupting her as the teacher walks into the classroom.
"Good morning, class," He starts off as Brad smiles in relief. "Today we are going to discuss the Kraken and its fight with the hero Perseus."
"Bo-ring," Jenny deadpans to her friends. "I've already downloaded that lesson into my memory bank." If Amy wasn't a secret superhero, she'd download it too...she watches Jenny place her chin on the desk. "I wish it was time to sleep so I could dream. Hey," She raises an eye with a sly smile. "I wonder if I can activate the dream chip now."
"I don't think you wanna do that," Amy whispers to her. "He might notice."
But Jenny closes her eyes anyway while the teacher talks, the brunette rolling her eyes. "But Perseus bravely set sail to conquer the beast..." The dream chip activated and she opened her eyes, and they're now blue. "And the Kraken and Perseus were locked in fierce combat." She smiles as she looks up ahead.
Two weapons clash against each other as suddenly everything looks like a story book. "Release them, Kraken!" Perseus demands, the Kraken roaring from the sea.
"Hold on!" Jenny suddenly flies between them, joined by Ms. Mecha. "We've got the answer!" They fly forward, Perseus gasping sharply. "Onion doughnuts!" They approach the Kraken and then toss the giant doughnuts into the sky. They trap the Kraken and then the weight of the giant doughnuts causes it to sink into the water. The two heroes stand proudly as the crowd cheers for them on the ship.
"Is there something you wish to share with the class, Ms. XJ9?" The teacher scolds, Amy's hand over her face. Because Jenny is actually standing on the desk, living out the dream. Brad stares at her weirdly while the other students look amused and almost everyone starts laughing at her. The bell rings for the end of class.
Brad walks down the hallway, waving to people that he passes. "Sup, Bonnie?"
"Hi, Brad," She waves with a smile.
"Sup, Jarvis?" He asks a blond boy.
"Hey, Big B," He greets back...and then he comes across Jenny riding the water fountain like a horse.
"Sup, Jenny?" He replies to her just as Amy comes from the opposite hallway. She drops her books in shock at her robot friend.
"Howdy, partner!" She waves to him. "That's a swell ten-gallon hat you got thar," She comments as they walk up to her, both of them baffled to see her like this.
"Uh, Jen?" Brad frowns, his hands on his hips.
"Um, do you not realize that you're acting crazy?" Amy gestures to the robot, but she still thinks she's dreaming thanks to the chip.
"Yahoo!"
"Oh my gosh," Amy facepalms at her, placing her hands on both sides of her mouth. "Earth to Jenny!"
Brad smiles and activates the water, shocking her out of it. "Yow!" She jumps out, rubbing her back.
"Jenny, why weren't you listening to us?" The boy asks her in annoyance, his eyes narrowed.
"Why listen to boring old you when I can activate my dream chip while I'm awake?" She dismisses the both of them. "School has never been so entertaining!"
The two glance at each other wide-eyed before looking back to their robotic friend. "I don't know, Jen. You seem to lose touch with reality pretty quick when you turn that on. Maybe you should give it a break," Brad suggests to her.
"Yeah, I'm with him on this one. What's gonna happen if the city is in danger again, but you're too busy with that chip to notice anything?" Amy jerks a thumb to him. "Not to mention that you just called your friends boring, and that's not you."
"I can turn my dream off any time I want to," Jenny defends herself to them. "I'm in total control."
"Is that why you've been jumping on desks and riding drinking fountains?" Brad retorts back and she freezes.
"You're just jealous of my superior dreaming ability," She accuses him, crossing her arms and holding her head up high. "You can't really understand a superior dream unless you've had a superior dream."
"This has nothing to do with that stupid chip," Amy rolls her eyes to the back of her head in exasperation. "We're happy that you get to experience dreams, we're just asking that you dial it back a bit."
"I can!" Jenny clenches her fists in argument to Amy, who reacts in the same way, the girls staring each other down.
"So then do it," Amy challenges back to her.
"I would, but jealous people could just backstab me. Ta-ta," She waves off and they look annoyed as they watch her leave.
"Oooh, I love Jen, but sometimes she can be so stubborn and blind," Amy growls angrily, storming off and Brad stares after her. The three were best friends, but Jenny's definitely going way too far with that chip.
"Oh, those guys," Jenny complains as she storms down the sidewalk. "Dreaming is perfectly healthy and normal. In fact," She gets a devious look on her face at the reminder. "This walk home would be a lot more pleasant in dream mode." She closes her eyes to turn dream mode on, her eyes turning blue again. Her eyes widen as she looks up ahead...and sees a 50s cartoon come to life in front of her. Everything dances, and everything is alive. Jenny dances down the sidewalk, surrounding by dancing bread with a happy sun up ahead. In reality, she's dancing, but she doesn't notice herself heading for the road...where a bus drives in! And the guy driving it isn't the most mentally stable...
"I just set a personal record," He's shaking and his eyes are red. "I've driven across six states straight on one cup of coffee." He laughs as the sugar high is getting to him, and then he falls asleep. Jenny is walking across the crosswalk and then sees the bus.
"Hi, Mr. Elephant," She greets happily, opening up her arms. "Give me a hug!"
The bus approaches and Amy gets an alarm from her system. The monitor is brought to her while she was on her computer and she notices that someone's in danger. She gasps sharply and stands up, transforming and flying out the window, breaking it into pieces. "Oops," She winces at this. "I'll deal with that later!" She takes off to go to the street where Jenny is.
The bus gets closer to Jenny, the driver still asleep, and he throws his head back, snoring. Amy flies in and notices what's going on, gasping sharply. "Oh my gosh, Jenny!" She shouts in alarm, swooping in. The bus is inches away when Amy grabs Jenny and saves her from being crushed or broken apart. As soon as she does, the driver swerves into a pole, breaking it as Amy flies above it. The wires fly up and then touch her, electrocuting both her and Jenny. This messes up the chip and sends it on overload, both of them moaning in pain. Both of them fall onto the ground, Amy groaning in pain.
"Ow..." She murmurs, shaking a little as she gets shocked one more time, connecting it to Jenny's body. This transfers the chip's effects into Amy's brain, and when the electricity finally stops, Amy opens her eyes. Her eyes now have blue pupils instead of black, just like Jenny's.
"What hit me?" Jenny groans in pain, sitting up and then flinching in alarm. Amy rubs the back of her head, blinking. "By the gods!" Jenny looks at the broken electricity pole and sees it as a blue/red monster.
"What is that?!" Amy recoils back in shock as she sees it too, no longer seeing reality.
"The Kraken!" Jenny glares at it, standing up. Amy does a double take.
"Wait, the what?! But isn't that from your dream from history class?"
Jenny flies into the sky, facing the 'Kraken.' "Surrender, foul beast." She punches it, but gets electrocuted instead, and falls down into a store, causing a mess. Amy rushes over to the damage. "Do not worry. I have slain the monster..." Her eyes then widen at something. "It still lives."
"Okay, why are you talking like that? Matter of fact, when did we start talking like that?" Amy points out, but Jenny ignores her and thinks that the butcher from the meat shop is a Kraken.
Tuck and Piri ride by on their bicycles down the street when they hear screaming. They look to the people running out of the butcher shop, and they look scared for their lives. "I think they're crazy!" He hears crashes, looking up ahead to see the destroyed butcher shop.
"What's going on in there?"
"I think someone's attacking that shop!" Piri points down to it.
"Hello?" The two kids peek in, seeing Jenny...attack a sausage. Amy is blasting some steak with her lasers. "Uh, Jen, Ms. Mecha, I like to play with my food as much as the next guy, but this is undignified," Tuck speaks up, gesturing to the two.
"And since when do you two actively destroy property?" Piri raises a brow in confusion. Jenny raises an eye and then notices the two kids.
"You? So you're both behind this!" She accuses the both of them and they back away in alarm.
"Behind what?"
"What are you talking about?" Piri hides behind him.
"Don't play coy with me, goat people," Jenny glares at the duo.
"What?" To the two girls, they look like goats in a blue world with sketchy styles. Jenny then summons her gun.
"Why do I have a weird feeling about these two?" Amy murmurs as she doesn't prepare her weapons. Something about all of this is off, like why is she seeing Jenny's dreams and how, as well as the...weird worlds and creatures they're seeing. But these two goats to her just give her a nagging feeling, she doesn't know why.
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way," Jenny narrows her eyes, the two kids/goats screaming and running away. They jump onto a person and smack his behind.
"Hyah!"
The person/horse neighs, taking off with them. "Halt, you horned hooligans!" Jenny shouts while pointing her guns at them. In reality, the two kids are just riding away on their bikes.
"Jen, wait! Don't you think we should stop and talk about this?" Amy asks while chasing after her. The robot turns around and points the weapon at her friend, causing her to hold her hands up.
"No! We know who they are and what they're doing! We have to stop them as heroes. Now stop distracting me or you'll make me lose them," She turns around and points her gun at them, firing a huge laser. Thankfully the two duck down into a small hill to avoid it, and then the two rush into an alleyway. They take some hiding spots as the two arrive and look down the alley, seeing just random objects. "Where'd the little tricksters go?" She murmurs in confusion and Amy sighs in relief.
"Welp, they've escaped, time to-" Suddenly a small car screeches to a stop near the duo, followed by three more cars. They all start honking at them, and they turn around to see alive cars that look like monsters to them.
"More minions from Hades," She flies into the air, summoning a hammer. Amy looks up at her as she swings.
Tuck and Piri pant as they continue riding, only to come across Brad, Emily, and Claudia, and then they stop. "Whoa, what's the rush, you guys?" Brad wonders to them. They get out of their bikes and then talk so incoherently that it's a wonder that they could still stand and watch them. Claudia rubs her chin and is about to speak up when Brad beats her to it. "So, Jenny thinks you're both goats because she's stuck in dream mode due to an electrical accident that none of us should know about because we weren't there? And because Ms. Mecha touched her, she also got affected?"
"Yuh-huh!" The two smile happily at him.
"How'd you know what I was gonna say?" Claudia asks Brad incredibly.
"Little kid talk like this is easy to figure out, Claudia. Duh. Why didn't you know?" Emily smirks a little, crossing her arms. Claudia glares at her in annoyance as she was about to explain, but Brad did first.
Meanwhile, there's a traffic jam where Jenny and Amy are, Ms. Wakeman included in the heap of cars. "Doh, what's holding things up?" She complains and then gets out of the car. "Some of us have petri dishes percolating, you know!" She gasps sharply as she sees a woman running out of her car screaming. Jenny smashes it with a giant fist.
"Wicked monsters!" She hisses, Amy holding her head as she tries to see reality but can't. "Vile creatures!" She then spins around so fast that she takes the car apart, and leaves the man without most of his clothes outside of his underwear. His car falls apart as Jenny holds up a van and tosses it, which lands right in front of Dr. Wakeman.
"XJ9," She opens up the car door to get to the other side, walking through perfectly fine. "Just what do you think you're doing? How dare you cause all these insurance claims?"
"Gee," Jenny looks away innocently. "I don't know what came over me. I'm so sorry...Medusa!" She sees her mother as a blue/red Medusa. "So you are behind all this madness!"
"Uhh, Medusa?" Dr. Wakeman asks in confusion and Amy gasps as she recognizes the voice.
"Wait a minute...Dr. Wakeman?" She murmurs as she stares at 'Medusa.'
"If you've come to defeat me yourself, you're out of luck! My metal body cannot be turned to stone by your evil gaze," She points her finger at Dr. Wakeman's nose. "Prepare to meet Zeus," A head cannon appears from her and fires up. Dr. Wakeman runs away screaming, Jenny literally vaporizing cars.
"Oh, young lady, you are so grounded!"
Amy gasps and flies after the woman just as Brad, Tuck, and Amy's three sisters appear. She dives down and grabs Dr. Wakeman to keep them from crashing into each other. "Wait, wait!" She steps in and stops them by landing in front of the group. She turns around to the woman. "Dr. Wakeman, is that really you?"
"Yes, Ms. Mecha!" The woman answers in surprise that Amy recognizes her. "What's happened to XJ9?"
"Dr. Wakeman, Jenny's gone crazy! And...Ms. Mecha was too," Brad raises an eyebrow at her.
"I know! I know!" Dr. Wakeman lifts up her head and Jenny lands in front of them.
"So, your goat horde has joined the battle. And my partner has betrayed me! Any last words, evil ones?"
"Jenny, none of this is real! It's part of that dumb chip!" Amy tries to tell her, but the robot doesn't listen.
"Lies!"
They all scream and run away, seemingly hiding in a giant griffin, Jenny appearing in front of it. "Jumping into the mouth of a griffin won't save you! Cough 'em up, you overgrown turkey!" She starts punching the car that they're actually hiding in.
"Oh, we're doomed," Dr. Wakeman looks up at Brad. "As long as XJ9 is stuck in dream mode, we can't reason with her!"
"Wait, if the electricity got her to be like this, there's gotta be a way to re-do it so that she's back to normal," Amy explains to them. "Right before this happened, she got electrocuted and because I saved her from a car, I got affected too. We'll need something as strong as electricity though..."
Brad notices a fire extinguisher across the street. "I know a way to shock her out of it!" He gets an idea, turning around to the others. "But I need someone to distract her." The roof then caves in thanks to Jenny, Amy ducking her head.
"But how?" Jenny punches the other side, Brad moving his head forward. "In her twisted reality, XJ9 sees us all as either monsters or a traitor," Dr. Wakeman glances towards Amy. She then ducks when Jenny punches the area right above her head.
"Weird monsters at that. I'm not a goat," Piri pouts, crossing her arms.
"Yeah, it's almost like one of us has to look really weird in the real world so we'd look normal in her dream world," Tuck explains to everyone as because he's too short, he's not affected by Jenny's attacks.
"Hmm," Everyone except him smirk at each other.
Jenny continues punching the car. "Uh, hello, Jenny," Tuck greets her as he looks normal to her.
"Oh, it's so good to see a friendly, normal face," She runs up to the boy as he's got a helmet, a can over his eye, gloves, and some other equipment.
"Uh, yup, that's right; it's me," He chuckles nervously at her. "Normal Tuck—just as normal as you are." He continues laughing as he tries to keep up the charade long enough for her to be fixed.
"You're acting kind of weird, Tuck," The robot recoils back a bit, Brad peeking at her from behind the car. "What are you up to?"
He gestures for Amy to come forward and she grabs him, silently flying over to the fire extinguisher. She looks to Jenny to make sure she doesn't see them. "I'm acting weird?" Tuck gestures to himself. "Look, Jenny, don't take this the wrong way, but you're totally hallucinating and have gone completely nuts!"
"You've been talking to Brad and Amy, haven't you?" She asks knowingly, her hands on her hips. "Look, I'm in complete control of my dream chip," As she says this, the duo appear around the corner to stare at her. "Hey, did you hear something?" She hears a clink from the two, who immediately duck backwards.
"Huh? Nope! Nuh-uh!" Tuck jumps up and down so that she can focus on him, but she doesn't seem to be buying it. "No one here but us normal people." The back of his costume falls off and she grows even more suspicious.
"Say...what's going on here?" She sees that he has a goat's tail. She picks him up and then peels off his disguise to reveal him as a goat. "Goat Boy Jr! This has all been a trick!"
"Put him down, Jenny," Brad, as a goat to her, waves his arms. "Pick on someone your own size."
"And me too while you're at it!" Amy appears behind him.
"With pleasure," She fires her head laser and Amy pushes Brad away onto the ground. Candy emerges from the object she destroyed and it washes over her. "Ooh, candy!" She rushes forward and tries to eat it, but gets electrocuted as it was just the water. "Hey..." She shorts out a little, looking confused to find herself back in the real world. "What's going on here?" Brad and Amy stare in worry as her vision shifts back and forth between reality and her dream. "Wow..." She stands up in thought, Tuck, Dr. Wakeman, and Amy's sisters all glaring at her. "I guess I really am stuck in dream mode." She laughs nervously at their looks, since she caused a lot of damage and attacked them...which she wouldn't have done if she had given the chip a break. "Boy, you won't believe the day I had. Heh heh, heh heh, heh..."
"I'm sorry about my behavior earlier," She tells everyone, glancing up at her mom. "I have to admit that I did abuse the chip, despite Brad and Amy's warnings."
"Now, hold still, XJ9," Dr. Wakeman is standing above her head, trying to dig it out. But everything still looks like her dream to her... "I'll have the dream chip switched off in a jiffy."
"Uh, can you hurry it up a little, Mom?" Jenny states nervously as a giant steak car passes by. "We just missed the T-bone steak, and the next one's not due for another hour..." She groans that she has to look at this dream world for who knows how long...
"Trust me, my eyes hurt from this too," Amy pinches her nose.
"I'm sorry I got you involved, Ms. Mecha. The effects must've transferred into your brain after you got electrocuted."
"Don't worry, dear. As soon as I switch the chip off, the effects should immediately wear off from Ms. Mecha," Dr. Wakeman assures her and Amy places a hand on her cheek, annoyed.
"Well, now I know why you wanted to leave reality so much..."
