Hey guys! First I wanna say thank you to everyone who's checked out my story and has taken the time to read it. I worked really hard putting this together and wanted to keep a consistency with the atmosphere and mood of the TV series, especially with its characters (though I put my own twist on them!). Jackie Chan Adventures is my favorite cartoon ever since I was eight years old when season one came out and am excited that I get to write about it!

A special shout out to Alana Fox, who has been my biggest supporter and has helped (and continues to help) me with writing not only this fanfic but the sequel The Adventures of Micky and Jade (check it out please and thank you!). Muchas gracias!

I wanted to talk randomly a little bit about my main original characters and how they were inspired because original characters are fun, right?! Plus I'll mention the spin I put on some of JCA's own characters. Lydia McPeek I created as a best friend of Taggart McStone because I liked him in the season 2 episode "Agent Tag" and thought it would be fun for him to have a sassy and energetic counterpart friend his age who reunites with him in San Francisco. Lydia's passion for fitness and for getting to know other people are two traits that I have.

I'm a huge Valmont fan (who isn't?!) because his character and season 1/2 British accent (yay for British accents!) are awesome- he was bad to the bone but that's what made him such a good villain. I chose to reform him because for goodness sakes, he never got a break as a criminal and because he's a mastermind and is intelligent, I wanted him to join Section 13 and work with them. I also wanted him to find a woman who was a little different from him but someone that he loved and cared for greatly. I think deep down he's a good guy but in the TV show, he obviously refused to show it and chose to be evil instead. But now he's a good!

The Ice Crew...you can probably tell from my avatar that the Ice Crew boys are my favorite trio in the whole show! They're funny, modern, youthful, young, sarcastic, and just crazy teenage boys! I wanted them to reform because they seemed like normal teenage boys who liked to have fun together but just had an overdose of testosterone that made them hungry for power and money and such. The three original characters, the McPeek girls, I created for the Ice Crew because I thought it would be fun for them to have girls who were really their female counterparts. Kaysha, Charmaine, and Cassie are blends of my overall personality, which I'll mention- plus, since I like Ice, Cobra, and Fist each for unique reasons, I wanted to make sure all three found love!

Kaysha McPeek I created as DJ Fist's sweetheart. I made her have a quiet disposition like DJ Fist but gave them both the opportunities to talk because come on, I'm sure they're not always silent! Her love for basketball and music is just like me, and sometimes I can be quiet around people but more talkative around others.

Charmaine McPeek is the original character most similar to me, so similar you could consider her my alter ego! I made her similar to MC Cobra in that she's playful, funny, energetic, and intelligent. MC Cobra is my absolute FAVORITE JCA character, like oh my gosh I love him and his personality! (is it weird to have a crush on a cartoon character?), so naturally I wanted to kinda put myself into the fictional world as his sweetheart. Charmaine loves fitness and is majoring in it at Stanford (I'm a fitness major too!) and is one of those girls who is fun, spunky, sweet, friendly, but has blonde moments every once in a while (her and I are blondes trapped in brunette bodies).

Cassie McPeek is a lot like me when it comes to video games and being very sarcastic and mischievous, though I'm neither of those to the extent she is! I wanted to make her a lot like Strikemaster Ice with her leadership kind of role (which is rather ironic for being the youngest sister) and her sarcastic attitude. No wonder Ice ended up liking her so much! People in real life tend to bond best with the people most similar to them, and I wanted to display that philosophy in my story. All three girls are both tomboyish and girly at the same time (though Cassie is by far the most tomboyish of the three) which is how I am as well!

Micky McStone...I wanted Jade to have a female friend who was very similar to her because I always felt sorry for Jade not really having any friends her age in the show. Micky has my same sarcastic attitude but was more inspired by Jade's character rather than myself. You can read more about the dynamic duo in The Adventures of Micky and Jade.

I think I've said enough but I just wanted to give you some for-fun background info on my first fanfiction. I was really nervous about putting the story out because since I've taken a spin more unique than most JCA fanfics I've read but since I love to write, I didn't let fear stop me! So I just wanna invite you guys to not only check out my sequel story but answer three quick questions for me if you have the time (I wanna hear your opinions!):

1) Which of my original characters do you like best and why?

2) What was your favorite part of JCA Extended?

3) Who's your favorite Jackie Chan Adventures character and why? (gotta pay homage to the best cartoon ever!)

Please post a review with your answers! It's not mandatory obviously but I'd just like to know what your guys' thoughts are! You don't even have to answer all three if you don't want to! But no negativity please and thank you! Thanks for reading all this, and have a great day :)
