Today Jade was dressed in a dark navy hoodie, a dark green shirt and brown shorts. She blended into the background quite neatly, scaring a few secret agents and squirrels. Not to mention Captain Black. How did she blend in with blank grey concrete with such nature-like colors?

One would never know.

"Augh!" Captain Black shuddered, patting his chest with his fist adopting Jackie's reaction to things that surprised him. Captain Black might even repeat Jackie's catch phrase 'bad day'.

Jade smiled innocently, as if she hadn't nearly scared the crap out of the leader of Section 13. "Can I join Section 13?"

Captain Black paused, seriously thinking on the pros and cons of her joining. One, they wouldn't have to tell her to 'stay' and have her disobey them only to pop up in some small place and scare the crap out of them. Two, their chances of wining would go up.

The cons were that she was underage, Jackie would kill him, Jade would get herself killed, and lastly trouble follows Jade making small incidents much worse. Oh and also the massive property damage.

What a migraine.

"Please Captain Black?" Asked an earnest Jade, eyes wide in her best puppy dog expression.

Captain Black merely raised an eyebrow. "No."

"Awwww." Jade pouted for about two seconds before skipping away. "I'll ask you next year!"

Captain Black sighed. "It's going to be no until you turn eighteen." He called back, hands cupped over his mouth.

All he got was a wave, a cheeky smile and then an empty corridor. Captain Black sighed again. It has become a ritual since she turned fifteen. It seems her duty and desire was to drive him made before she could legally join.

Captain Black could only shudder in what Jackie would have to endure. She was becoming quite the energy ball in her teenage years which was saying something since as a child she was already a handful.

KKKKKKKKK

Jade walked to school, shouldering her backpack with the ease of a stressful high school child. Her gait was light, her feet seemingly sliding over the concrete. It was the product of training by a great kung fu master and her own innate agility.

However, this didn't mean she didn't run into things.

"Awk." Jade crashed into a tall thin fellow. Hurriedly, Jade picked herself up.

"Watch where you're going!" That voice was familiar. It was Drew the bane of her existence.

"What do you want Drew?"

"Hey I'm not at fault ninja girl." Drew sneered. "You're the one who walked into me you fake ninja."

A long time ago, they would've got into trouble and argument about the existence of demons and ninjas. Now in high school the two just sparked once in a while but in such a vast population of teenagers, it was a rare occurrence.

Thankfully.

Jade bit her tongue before she fired off a witty retort and shouldered past Drew. If only Jackie had seen her now, she actually took Jackie's words to heart and not started a fight. Years before Jade would've started a fight, gotten into trouble and get grounded.

Hours later, it was the last period of the day and Jade found herself in her seat with head in arms. She was dead tired. She wasn't anywhere near her period and yet she was exhausted. Had she had more energy in her brain, Jade would be formulating ideas in why she was so tired.

The hour dragged on, each second like a minute, each minute like an hour. It was boredom city. Ten minutes into class, her eyelids closed and she drifted off into dreamland.

Her dreams were strange just like her uncle Jackie. The one time she jumped into Jackie's dreams, it was a life and death matter. In her astral form, she was able to invade Jackie's mind and experienced one of the stranger things she had ever seen. Jackie was sweeping with his broom when the ground beneath his feet turned into a train that was running off a cliff.

Jackie had a penchant for sleepwalking. It was only due to Jade that he didn't walk off a roof in the real world. That was a close shave.

Jade's dream world is usually one that is light filled, a part of it filled with martial arts tools, her super moose doll, and some miscellaneous odds and ends. Unlike other children's dream world's Jade is one out of a fantasy/horror novel/movie. There were many cool things and sometimes during a nightmare many dangerous things that would make Freddy scream his head off in shock before complimenting the horrific position the remains were.

Mercifully, those images were few and far between.

Today, Jade's dream was full of sun light, rolling hills and enough grass to make a cow happy. A lone tree dotted the landscape. There was no cow anywhere but there was a stranger sitting under a tree shade, scowling.

The dark being was wearing all black and a bit of purple, pointy with glowing red eyes. Someone who you wouldn't want to meet in an alley at the stroke of midnight.

"I hate this." The dark and rather short being gestured around her. "All this sun shine, all this-" She shuddered again. "Grass and blue sky. How did it come to this?"

"Don't be such a whiner." Muttered Jade, sitting on the grass, head on knees. "Soooo sleepy."

"I am not whining!" The girl scowled at jade. "Besides when did I ever listen to you?"

Jade sleepily glared at the girl. "Cause you're a figment of my imagination and you do whatever I tell you!" Her head grew to enormous proportions. "Alright?"

The force of her yell nearly blew the smaller girl away. The tree shuddered and the grass flattened.

"Gah." The girl fluttered her arms to stay on the ground before the wind died down.

Jade groaned. "Head hurts, legs hurt...ugggh...need sleep."

"Jade Chan!" A big head appeared in the sky. It was the teacher Mrs. McLane. "I do not tolerate nappers in my class."

A loud snapping sound shook Jade away to a laughing classroom and an irate Mrs. McLane.

"Hehehe...oops?" Jade said, rubbing the back of her head.

Mrs. McLane was not pleased.

KKKKKKKKKK

Yeah, I venture into Jackie Chan Adventure land! I'm a fan of the show when it was on TV. It was great. I always loved Jackie and Jade. Uncle was a favorite as well.

Guess who the dark girl was!
