Specs: A promised update! No tomatoes today, Jason!

Jason TnT*

Specs: I don't own anything but the OCs!

It was eight in the morning and Jason, still in his pajamas, was doing his early in the morning weekend routine. He was working on his new drawing, listening to music, and eating the chocolate that he hid underneath his mattress two days before. He was in a relaxed position, placing his feet on his bed and leaning heavily against his chair. He glanced to his computer every once in a while to check if anyone was online on chat. Actually, he was checking if the ONE person on his chat list was online. Blake. He was the only friend Jason ever trusted, even right before they went to school. They had first met when Blake's father, Maxwell Hutcherson, came over to Danny's house to discuss important matters regarding the new project in NASA. Maxwell was one of the main scientists in the project and he was also a close friend of Danny's at work. On that day, he also brought his son along since his wife was off to visit her mother again. As soon as Blake was introduced to Jason, they were left on their own. The first few seconds of their meeting was awkward, due to the fact that Jason was shy as a kid but luckily for him, Blake was a chatterbox and they became almost instant friends even if Blake did most of the talking. Until now, it still worked that way except for the fact that Jason began to speak his mind out more than when he was a younger and was able to make his own comments every chance he got.

He was already finishing the final touches to his sketch when the computer notified that someone was online. Jason dropped everything, removed his headphones, swallowed his chocolate and was about to go chat Blake when he suddenly phased through his chair. He struggled to get back on it as he silently cursed and swore that he wouldn't multi-task when he had no control on his powers. When he got back on, he clicked on the name and typed away on his keyboard.

Anime_freak: What, the girl? Gladly.

flimboy: no... i mean the ghost part... not comfortable dude...

Jason was staring at his screen. Blake had never told him that he had a fear of ghosts. He had somewhat understood that. Maxwell had died seven years ago due to a lab accident so he couldn't blame him. He had remembered pretty well that Blake had stayed unusually silent on that day. On the downside, how was he gonna break to him that he was probably a ghost himself. Well, according to Toni anyway. Speaking of which, he checked the time in his computer. He had to meet up with her later at the abandoned restaurant down the street. He groaned in annoyance when he saw that it was almost time to leave. He placed his head against the computer monitor, thinking on how the whole ghost business was driving him up the wall. He probably wouldn't have any time to be by himself if Toni insists on doing this every weekend.

He let out a sigh when suddenly, a tingling sensation went down his spine. It was a little too late when he realized that his powers were acting up again. He was suddenly sucked into his computer and yelped in suprise as he felt himself shoot through cyberspace. Just as he got in, he already flew out of another computer, head first into a familiar room. He didn't see it clearly but this is what the room was like. There were random assortments of pictures that were pinned to the wall and photo albums stuffed underneath the bed. A professional camera sat on the desk and the bed looked like it was a war zone. Next to it were a couple of windows which has a clear view of the neighborhood. There weren't many cars that passed by and it was a pretty clean street.

Jason landed with a loud thud and rubbed his head from the pain. Fortunately, he landed on something soft enough to save him from the impact. Unfortunately, that something was groaning. Jason winced because if anything, he knew that groan of pain anywhere, especially during P.E. classes. He dared himself to look up. Slowly, he did just that and was now staring into the horrified blue eyes of his best friend.

"Uh, hi?"

"Jason, what the heck? How in the world... I mean... It's just... How did you come out of the freakin' computer? I'm just, you know, there and the computer was acting funny and out you come! I mean seriously dude, I had a heart attack!"

"Jeez, you never learn how to shut up do you?" Jason said as he got onto his feet and glanced at the computer."Talk about instant messaging."

"DUDE!"

"Alright, alright. Can you shut up for once?"

"I can't when you just came out of my computer! You have to tell me what the heck is going on!"

Jason rolled his eyes. A nuisance as always. Still, Jason didn't feel like explaining the events of the past few days and his ghost side as well. He groaned in annoyance because he had to tell it anyway now that he's exposed. All he can hope for was not to give Blake another heart attack.

"Ok, this is kinda hard to explain. I mean there's this thing that happened that made me in like this and it was my birthday so... Are you even listening?"

Jason began glaring at Blake as he stared on the floor with a mixture of surprise and terror. He was about to launch another rant when he noticed that Blake was getting taller by the second.

"Dude, your legs!"

Jason looked down immediately and saw that his legs were outlined with white aura and was beginning slowly sink into the ground.

"Gah, Blake help me up!"

All that Blake managed to do at that moment was to freeze from shock. He felt that his mind wasn't functioning properly anymore. He was just recovering from the fact that his best friend flew out of the computer but he can't recover now that Jason was slowly sinking into the ground as if it were made out of quicksand. Yep, he's definitely insane.

"Blake!"

Blake snapped out of his worry as he saw Jason's body half it's way through the ground as he struggled to stop himself from sinking any further, grasping on the slippery tiled floor but failing miserably. The blonde hurriedly snatched Jason's hand and pulled him up before his head disappeared into the ground. Jason sighed in relief but he cringed after he realized that Blake had really seen everything.

"Jason, what's going on?"

Jason grew more uncomfortable. Blake rarely calls Jason by his first name unless it's something serious. If there was anything he had to do, he had to tell the truth now. He took a deep breath as he began to explain,"Um, Blake. The situation is kind of hard to tell but I have... powers."

There was dead silence after he said that. After a few moments, Blake mouth cracked into the huge goofy grin Jason had always known."Powers," Blake said almost enthusiastically,"Wow, dude. That's awesome! It's almost like a comic book that came to life! What kind do you have?"

Jason sighed as he said that. He didn't want to break it to him that way. He hesitated for awhile and finally said, "Blake, it's not just any power. It's something you are not gonna like."

Jason's eyes closed in deep concentration as Blake watched in silence. Right before his eyes, two rings formed and spread in seperate directions. The more of what Jason transformed into, the more of Blake's smile disappeared. As soon as it was over, Jason sat on Blake's bed, now in his other form, with a small frown on his face when he saw his friend's shocked face.

"Jason, you look like a..."

"Ghost," he finished his sentence,"I know. I don't really know if I'm a ghost or not but this is what I look... GAH!"

Jason became intangible once again and fell through the bed. His head looked like it was cut of from his body being the only thing that did not go through. When he looked up, he was surprised to see Blake laughing at him. He turning red from anger and embarrassment and yelled, "Blake, can you just shut up? It's not funny!"

Blake was wiping a tear from his eye as he grabbed Jason's hand and helped him up. He then punched Jason lightly on the shoulder and said, "There's nothing to worry about, dude. I don't care if you're some sort of spirit of the other world. Yeah, sure, you look creepy in this way,(HEY!) but it's still you isn't it?"

Jason felt relief overflow him. He on longer had to worry if he was a ghost or anything. When he looked at his friend, he raised an eyebrow as Blake glanced at the computer with a smirk on his face. He had a bad feeling about this.

"Hey, dude, do you mind if I come over to Amity Park?"

"If we're ever caught, I swear I will murder you."

The two friends were both lying on the ground after they shot out of Jason's computer. They found themselves in an awkward position that they tried to get on their feet as fast as possible. Blake was no longer in his jammies and was currently wearing his usual green shirt with a blue outer shirt. He was also wearing pair of blue jeans and brown shoes to match. His eyes were scanning Jason's room with a hint of curiosity since it was his first time there.

"Your room ain't bad for something that once belonged with your dad," Blake commented while Jason transformed back to his human self.

"Yeah, sure, whatever," Jason said as he got his day clothes,"Wait 'til you see what's it like on the outside."

"What could possibly be wrong with the outside of the house?"

"You'll see."

"Jason, honey, who are you talking to?"

Both boys hit panic mode as soon as they heard Mrs. Fenton's voice at the other side of the door. Jason was already wearing a murderous look on his face but Blake simply ignored him and pointed to the bed. His friend nodded and mouthed 'go', and Blake quickly hid underneath it. When the door opened, Sam gave her son look of confusion while he glared at his bed as one of his eyes twitched.

"Jason, is there anything bothering you? I swear I heard Blake in here."

"No, mom, it's nothing. It's nothing really. It's just that video conference set on a loud volume," he said after he immediately looked up from where he was glaring. Sam just blinked but merely shrugged and sat on her son's bed. She could hear a small squeak somewhere but she ignored it.

"Jason, I'm real sorry to hear on what happened yesterday," Sam started,"You know your father is really concerned about you. It's your first week in your new school and you're already in trouble."

"I know, ma," Jason said as he rubbed the back of his neck, "It's just so hard to resist the urge to punch that jerk in the face. He was making fun of you guys and I... I don't know what I did."

"Yes, I know what it's like," Sam said as she smiled softly, "and so does your dad. He would always get back at people like that at your age. He didn't physical hurt them like you but he pulled pranks. I didn't agree with him personally. In the end, something happened that made your dad stop. He doesn't want the same thing to happen to his kids, not ever. Do you understand?"

Jason sighed heavily. He sat right next to his mother and said, "I guess so but what made dad stop pulling pranks anyway?"

Sam merely kissed Jason on the forehead and caressed his cheeks and looked at him in the eye."It is not the time for you to know it yet, dear. There will be a time. I promise."

Jason gave one of his rare smiles. It's one of those times where his mom understood him the most but the smile immediately disappeared when there was a knock that came from underneath them.

"I swear, we need to get rid of the rats around here," Sam said as she looked at his bed, annoyed, "Your grandparents aren't taking care of this room when Danny was gone."

Yeah, one giant rat who can't breathe anymore, Jason thought. He stood up almost at once and grabbed his mom by the wrist and began lead her out of the room as he said quickly, "Yeah, mom. Thanks for the help but I really gotta go to Toni as soon as possible so could you go outside so that I can change and meet up with her? You don't have to worry about breakfast because I'm gonna buy at the fast food place. I really need to hurry. Bye!"and finally slammed the door at Sam's face. She blinked for a few moments and she became furious at her son.

"Jason Kenneth Fenton! Don't you dare slam that door on my face! I swear, I don't know where you get this attitude of yours!"

The door suddenly opened by an inch as her son peaked out of it."I'm an hour late so I'm kinda in a hurry here. Oh yeah, dad said I got it from you. That's all," he said and closed the door again.

Sam just put her face in her hand as she groaned. What's her husband trying to do anyway?"Ok, fine but you have to get back home before seven. The party's still on going you know."

There were a few moments of silence from the other side then a simple 'ok' was heard. Sam was wearing a huge frown but after counting to ten, she merely sighed and walked down to the kitchen. Sometimes, she couldn't understand Jason anymore. Was this how her parents felt when she treated them this way? She wanted to forget the idea and went off to prepare Lilia's breakfast.

Back in the room, Jason collapsed on the floor in frustration. A party? He had partially hoped that there wouldn't be any since he was grounded but it looked like he still couldn't avoid it. It made his mood worse when Blake crawled out from underneath the bed with a huge grin on his face."Finally, the boy's getting a party after two years of being party-less," he said enthusiastically.

"Shut up, Blake. I just wished you died from suffocation a while ago."

"Do you know what it's like being under your cee? It's like being inside a giant sandwich!"

"Yes, I do, sandwich boy. That's not important right now. We have to get moving so that I won't be late,"Jason said as he hurriedly changed into his clothes.

"Aren't you going to take a bath or something?"

"I'll just take it later, Blake," he replied as he put on his jacket, "We have to find a way to get out of here. Obviously, they're not supposed to see you."

"Dude, you have powers, don't you? Can't you, like, fly?"

"No, Blake. I don't want to use my powers. I just want to learn how to get it under control. Plus, I don't know if I can fly."

"Just try to fly, man. We'll be there in no time!"

"No, we're taking the window. Toni showed me how to climb down the side of the house last night when she left."

"So Toni's the girl, huh?" Blake said with a smirk as Jason opened the window, "You gonna ask her out or something?"

"Toni's just a friend, ok! Now, do you want to me to teach you on how to get down or what?"

"Fine. Lead the way, Fenton," Blake said as he followed him to the window.

"Just remember to place you're feet and hands in the holes where a place them in," Jason said as he got out of the window. When he looked below him, he grew a little dizzy. He wasn't used to staying out on such heights before. How Toni was able to do this, he'll never know. Slowly, he began to climb down, placing his hands and feet in where they were supposed to be. It was a little hard, holding on to such small spaces but it was a progress. In five minutes, he made it to the bottom. He looked up and he could see Blake was following his lead but towards the end, he lost his grip and fell on top of Jason.

"Blake, this is the SECOND TIME you landed on me today!" Jason yelled as he pushed his friend off of him, "Get your large bottom outta my FACE!"

"Can you relax, dude?" Blake said as he stood up.

"I will if you don't stop goofing off! C'mon, we have to go to Toni," he said when he suddenly tripped and landed on his face due to the fact that both of his legs disappeared.

"Karma," Blake said as he stiffled his laughter.
