After his shower Billy walked into his room three shadows following him as he opened his door and turned around having a feeling that he was being followed.
Kendra(Stepping from the shadows) I wanted to surprise you with a snack I mean who can say no to a snack?
Billy: Sorry but the only snack i crave are-
Kendra(Sliding a plate to Billy) Nacho's with absoultely no hots and Wild Cherry Pepsi right?
Billy(Sniffing the plate) Uhhhh yea but how did you know that?
Kendra(Throwing Billy a file with his picture on the cover) Since we're dating I figured I should know absolutely everything about you.
Aphrodite(Stepping from the shadows) Uhhhhhhhhh crazy much?
Kendra(Dejected) What are you doing here?
Aphrodite(Throwing her arm around Billy) Are you kidding? I owe the little guy a life debt and so does my sis Julie who has taken a strong liking to Matthew.
Billy(Looking at Kendra) How exactly did you get my file that Violet keeps locked up tight?
Kendra(Grinning mischievously) My daddy was a locksmith and I guess I borrowed Violet's office key and made a copy of it.
Billy(Surprised at Kendra) You did what?
Kendra(Taking a necklace off her neck) Don't freak I kept it safe on my neck.
Billy(Grabbing Kendra) We're supposed to be heroes Kendra. Have you ever seen heroes steal keys and make copies of them?
Kendra(Taking the key back) I didn't steal it I was borrowing it there's a difference.
Julie(Stepping from the shadows) I'm not sure Mrs. Invisigirl will see it that way.
Aphrodite: If you're borrowing it when do you intend on returning it?
Kendra(Shrugging) When I feel like it?
Violet stormed into Billy's room a fire in her eyes as she beckoned for Kendra and everybody cleared a path for her.
Violet(Pulling Kendra into the hallway) All right let's not beat around the bush give them back and do it now Kendra.
Kendra looking guilty slammed both Violet's key and the copy into Violet's palms.
Violet(Beckoning for more) Come on young lady all of it. I mean you had no right to take it without asking.
Kendra shoved the file into Violet's arms and made to walk off but Violet stood in her way planning to have a long talk with her about boundries.
Violet(Giving Kendra a soda) Come on now that the bad cop is gone I can be the good cop and we can get as to why you found it necessary to steal my private office key, make a copy of it, then steal Billy's file.
Kendra(Dejected) I guess I just wanted him to like me and I had no clue what he liked so I went to the next best thing the source of Billy Parr.
Violet(Looking down at Kendra) I had the same problem in Junior High with a boy named Tony Radanger.
Kendra: What super power did he have?
Violet(Smirking) None he was the football quarterback and well girl's were all for that when I was a pre teen.
Kendra: So did this Tony ever notice you?
Violet: Yea but I had to do something amazing to get him to do that first.
Kendra: Amazing?
Violet pulled a newspaper clipping from her pocket and the heading said Mr. and Mrs. Incredible save the day along with son Dash Parr and daughter Violet Parr.
Kendra(Handing Violet the clipping) That's the kind of recognition I need I mean saving the world I bet Tony never took his eyes off you once he saw that you were a hero.
Violet(Turning Kendra's head to her eyes) That's not the point I'm trying to make Kendra. My point is I tried running away from who I was before I saved the world.
Kendra(Glumly) So what?
Violet: So the only reason Tony noticed me after I saved the world was because I became the girl I wanted to be deep inside. I was myself and that's what Billy wants you to be you and not the crazy girl you're becoming.
Kendra finished her soda and tossed it on the ground hearing a growl with Wolverine walking up with a blue apron that said recycle monitor on it.
Wolverine(Locking eyes with Kendra) Are-you-going-to-pick-that-up-bub?
Kendra(Nervous) Y-y-y-y-y-y-y-yes Mr. Logan I was just seeing how far I could throw it.
Wolverine(Pointing to a blue barrel) Metal in there and I better not see you litter again bub or next time I'm giving you a citation and detention.
Kendra(Smiling innocently) Sure Mr. Logan I'll get the word out to all my litterbug friends and tell them the same.
Wolverine: Be sure you do litterbug.
Wolverine lit a cigar as Violet gave him a disapproving glare but knew her glares meant nothing to him.
Violet(Swiping smoke away from her face) So how are Mr. Logan's lessons?
Kendra(Shrugging) Ok I guess he taught Matthew how to take on his form and FYI Matthew is scarier than Mr. Logan any day of the week.
Violet(Stopping at Billy's room) Remember what I told you be yourself and you can do no wrong.
Kendra walked into Billy's room to find Julie and Aphrodite still there guarding him with their lives.
Kendra: Hey Billy so you wanna hang I have Injustice and we can talk a little more on the things you like and how much of a jerk I was to steal your file.
Billy(Standing up) Sure but you never stole my file you borrowed it just like the keys and let's leave it at that.
Kendra(Walking next to Billy) So tell me more about what Billy Parr likes.
Billy(Showing Kendra an empty plate and cup) Well as you can see nachos with no hots, Wild Cherry Pepsi, home baked chocolate chip cookies, hugs, candy, and Batman but The Dark Knight Batman not the old 80's Batman.
Kendra: Interesting and what is your favorite movie?
Billy: Despicable me 2 what's yours?
Kendra: The Little Mermaid. See now isn't this fun us talking and not being in an awkward position.
Billy(Stopping in the hall) Kendra I need to ask you something and it's fine if you can't do it.
Kendra(Beaming) I can do anything Billy so just ask me and we'll go from there.
Billy: Well the dance is coming up and with all the hustle and bustle of being a hero I forgot to mention I can't dance.
Kendra(Taking Billy's hand) Come on dance class begins at 3:00 sharp and Mrs. Violet is not one to be kept waiting.
Billy smiled as a horn blared twice outside with Billy and Kendra running to the window and they saw a huge cruise ship on the lake by the school with Jake standing on it a captain's hat on his head.
Jake(Yelling) All ashore that's coming ashore the captain is in the hizouse let's go people.
All the heroes including the X men ran outside to find the boat was decorated with all of them on the side of it.
Jake: I figured we could use a little vacation so-
Violet(Storming out) What in the world do you think you're doing?
Jake(Spreading his arms out) Do you like it?
Violet: Get down from the deck this instant Jake Anax the 3rd right now.
Jake walked down a ramp attached to the ship and Violet's face said it all with Jake's party grin fading.
Violet(Grabbing Jake) Inside now El Capitain.
Jake not wanting to anger Violet any more then she already was walked inside with her staring accusingly down at him.
Violet: Jake we're supposed to be keeping a low profile how is this a low profile?
Jake: Vie you need fun and sun as do the other kids and new people here. I mean we made Wolverine the most feared X man on the team a litter monitor.
Violet: Jake we can't afford a boat this big on our budget.
Jake: My dad paid for it the only stipulation is you have to meet him.
Violet: That's fine with me and if we're vacationing I need a new suit and so do the rest of the girl's and boys.
Jake(Throwing a box to Violet) Already taken care of sweetie now did I deliver or did I deliver.
Violet(Looking in the box smiling) Victoria's Secret I didn't know a boy even knew where to find that store.
Jake(Kissing Violet) Now I know dance class for the first timers is at 3:00 and there's a dance floor on the ship.
Violet kissed Jake back and hurried to her room Jake following her not being able to resist how beautiful she was.
Violet: All packed now let's get Billy packed and be sure to pack him some nice clothes for the dance because Elastagirl #2 is crushing on him hard.
Jake: How hard?
Violet: Stealing the key to my office, making a copy, then stealing his file so she could know more about him that hard.
Jake: Well then I suppose I should teach Billy the glory of one liners which will get him any girl he can find.
Violet: Jake no offense but you're one liners are kind of outdated and I'm thinking we should let Billy handle this on his own.
Jake: Fine but if I see him crashing I'm definitely going to interfere with my one liners because he deserves happiness too.
Violet(Beaming) Jake Anax the 3rd you love him like a son.
Jake: Uhh no I don't?
Violet(Kissing him) Sure you do and I think you and him should have another Billy Jake day and you can tell him how much you care for him.
Jake: What if I just pulled him aside and we shared dinner or something? Because no offense but that day wiped me out and him too I'm sure.
Violet(Giggling) Ok just as long as it's just you and him.
Jake(Grabbing Billy's bags grunting) What have you got in here bricks?
Violet(Shaking her head) He likes video games and I'm not going to deny him the stuff he likes.
Jake and Violet climbed aboard the ship as Billy lifted the ramp seeing everyone on the ship and then raised the anchor and they were off for a well deserved vacation.
At 3:00 Violet saw all the boys had brought a girl to the dance hall so they could learn to dance and Billy was among them.
Jake: Well, well, well we can save the world but we can't dance? No worries neither can I.
Violet(Grabbiing Jake) I think what my rude co host here is trying to say is welcome and you'll be ready for the dance tonight in no time flat.
Billy(Trying to run off) Uhhh I think the arcade's open and I hear skee ball calling my name.
Kendra gripped Billy tighter whispering it'll be fine in his ear.
Violet: Alrighty so gentlemen bring your dates to the floor and we'll see what I have to work with here.
Billy reluctantly brought Kendra to the dance floor and the other's joined suit seeing Billy do it first.
Violet: Alright gentlemen grasp the ladies right hand and place you left hand either in her other hand or around her waist. Around the waist is more traditional though.
Billy placed his right hand in Kendra's and then his other hand went around her waist as she giggled blushing with the music starting.
Violet: Now I'm going to come around and help when I can gentlemen the most important thing you can learn from me is to follow the beat and not worry so much about your stance, feet, or sweating palms if you have them.
Billy slowly moved his feet Kendra following his lead the music suddenly speaking to Billy and it told him to fall in love with Kendra and show her that he can dance after all.
Violet(Walking up to Billy and Kendra) Very, very good you two and I think I may have found my star pupils in this class.
Jake(Grinning at Billy) Suck up but at least being a suck ups better than having no coordnation.
Billy looked at everyone else and saw that he and Kendra were the only people dancing right.
Violet(Back to the front) Now remember people leading let the beat move you people who aren't leading follow the leaders like the game.
Billy: Kendra and I could help if you want mama.
Violet: That would be lovely gentlemen Kendra is coming to teach you. Ladies Billy's going to teach you.
Billy walked up to Aphrodite who held her hand out ready to be taught by a man that wasn't Logan.
Billy(Taking Aphrodite's hand) I'll lead and you can follow it'll be easier that way Aph.
Billy's other hand went around Aphrodite's waist and he slowly swayed to the music Aphrodite following his lea sticking in her head.
Billy(Letting go) Good now follow the beat and soon you'll be a natural slow dancer Aphrodite.
Billy went to Julie next who was angrily growling at Matthew who turned into a pool of sweat.
Matthew: What can I say? Dancing make me nervous and when I'm nervous sweat is my natural form.
Julie(Disgusted) You could have mentioned that before sweaty.
Billy(Kicking Matthew out of the way) Watch and learn Matthew.
Billy grasped Julie's hand and then her waist and swayed to the music noticing Logan dancing better with Aphrodite also.
Billy: See just let the music speak to you and there would be nothing to worry about Matthew.
Mattew(Becoming a human again) All right but can you please tell Mrs. aggitated gasper over there not to give me the angry eyes.
Julie: Stop stepping on my feet and I wouldn't have an aggitated gasp or angry eyes.
Matthew(Shrugging) What am I supposed to do I'm learning just like you.
Julie(Huffily) Fine but if you're going to step on my feet all night I'm going to tear my hair out of my head.
Billy(Running up to Wendy) Heyyyyyyyyyy Wendy wanna learn to dance?
Cyclops moved away as Billy gently took her hand and they danced Wendy gazing into Billy's eyes with Kendra growling in jealousy.
Kendra: Just who does she think she is trying to steal my man?
A girl at the table next to Kendra tisked and shook her head flipping cards over her hair black with a few sharp green and purple streaks cut short and choppy like she did it herself.
Girl(Sighing) Awwwwwww looks like your aura's not in allignment that must be why you get so angry so easily.
Kendra(Looking at the girl) What freakshow did you crawl out of?
The girl giggled her vibrant green eyes gazing into Kendra's deep blue ones.
Girl(Laughing) Look who's talking elastic girl #2. I know what you can do and happen to know the school you attend isn't for normies.
Kendra: Yea well- well- well- well- well at least I'm having a good hair day.
Girl(Showing Kendra scissors) I can cut yours if you like. Then we'll see who's having a good hair day Prescious.
Kendra heard enough as she grabbed the girl and she grinned devilishly opening her backpack and throwing magic bombs at Kendra.
Girl(Beaming) Another thing I made myself I call them magic stink bombs.
Kendra(Plugging her nose) They smell like rotten skunks.
Girl(Nodding) It took awhile for me to track down live skunks that wouldn't spray me when I got close.
Kendra picked the bombs off the floor gagging against their smell as the girl Jaclyn Lee Shadow laughed hysterically.
Jaclyn(Patting next to her) Have a seat and I'll read your future Kendra.
Kendra(Walking off) No thanks I don't believe in infomercials.
Jaclyn(Shrugging) Suit yourself but I could also tell you how long Billy plans to put up with your bad attitude.
Kendra sighed sitting across from Jaclyn with cards spread over the table.
Jaclyn: Pick three cards and let's get this party started.
Kendra picked the first three cards within reach and Jaclyn flipped them over a look of concentration on her face.
Jaclyn: Your first card is the tower and that means you're going to live in a mansion with a happy family but whether Billy's there remains to be seen.
Kendra(Standing up) This is a whole lot of balognia I mean looking at my future what was I thinking?
Jaclyn(Flipping over the second card) Oooooohhhhhhh the stranger that means you'll meet a dark stranger who will probably be your husband.
Kendra(Walking off) What a bunch of bull.
Jaclyn flipped the final card laughing as she stared at it and Kendra also saw it as a big black dog which meant nothing to Kendra but a lot to Jaclyn.
Jaclyn: The Black Dog means death at an early age so maybe the tower is Heaven and the dark stranger is the grim reaper.
Kendra(Smiling) Oh puhlease read one too many Harry Potter books have we Jaclyn? Harry saw the black dog and his Divination teacher predicted he would die but guess what he didn't.
Jaclyn(Shrugging) Suit yourself I'd just watch my back and my front if I were you Kendra. I mean I don't see you flipping cards and making accurate predictions.
Kendra: Right if you see Ron and Hermione send them my way mystery girl.
Jaclyn(Reaching out her hand) Jaclyn Lee Shadow pleasure to make your acquaintance even if you think I'm phony.
Kendra scoffed at Jaclyn as a rumbling was heard and we see a giant robot on the ship deck Billy, Violet, Kendra, Jake, and Jaclyn running to see it.
Mirage(Cackling) Meet the new and improved Omnitrix with a few new features. Syndrome is so going to turn in his grave when he see's my improvements.
Billy(Closing his eyes) Metal meet your weakness electricity. Somebody pour water on the robot and I'll do the rest.
Jaclyn(Levitating a bucket) Way ahead of you Billy.
Violet(Confused) Uhh who the hell are you?
Jaclyn: Intro's later doing some analyzing has taught me that she has lasers up the butt and a bomb attached to the robot.
Violet(Running up to Billy) You couldn't have mentioned that earlier?
Jaclyn(Shrugging) Nobody asked me.
Billy(Agitated) Uhhhhhhhhhh hello I could use the water here.
Jaclyn(Agitated) Uhhhhhhhhhhh hello honing my powers here. You know magics not easy lightning boy.
Storm(pushing Jaclyn out of the way) We'll never have water at this point.
Jaclyn(Shoving the bucket in Billy's chest) There and I hope thank yous are in order.
Billy tossed the water onto the Omnitrix and before Mirage And Co. knew it electricity flew out of Billy's body shocking everyone inside the Omnitrix including the Omnitrix itself.
Billy(Beaming) Let that be a lesson to all villians there's a reason I'm nicknamed Sparky and it has nothing to do with a dog.
Julie(running out and waving the super powered gun) Looking for this are we?
Mirage(shaking) As a matter of fact I am Jewels and I'm also here to tell you and your sister that you are offically cut off.
Julie: Good I like being on the winning side and not caged up for insolence as you call it.
Mirage made to respond but the Omnitrix had other plans blowing up and Mirage, Nick and Mark were left behind.
Mirage(Shaking off) Do you guys honestly like losing because if you don't you have a funny way of showing it.
Nick shook his head his black hair now containing a white steak across the middle of it.
Nick: This was you harebrained scheme mother dear in fact every scheme against these snot nosed supers was yours and they were all harebrained.
Mark(Swimming to shore) I think what we need to do is recruit Sparky I mean without him the team is just wide reciever, running backs, and corner backs with no quarterback.
Mirage: And how do you intend to do that Mark? He's all about Violet and her gang of heroes seeing she's also his mother.
Mark: We manipulate him into thinking he's been replaced as the golden boy just like telling Robin that Batman is the better hero.
Mirage: That- is- the- stupidest- idea- I've- ever- heard. I mean he knows he's got Violet wrapped around all his fingers and the others don't.
Jake flew off in a trail of flames to the island Mark, Nick, and Mirage were staying on wanting to make sure they knew Billy was off limits.
Jake(Walking up to the trio of villains) All right you three I'm here to tell you that the plans you have to make Billy believe he's being replaced would never work.
Mark: Yea and how would you know?
Jake: Because I'm going to smother Billy with love and attention and I'll make sure Violet does the same imprinting in his mind that he's just as valueable as the others.
Mirage(Smiling) Right and that's why they were all out there fighting today?
Jake: They would have been if they didn't think Billy could handle it.
Nick: I just want to say that none of these plans were my idea Mr. Fireman. Mark and my mom planned all of these elaborate gags on your kids and they're going to continue planning them until you're defeated.
Jake(Clenching his hands) Let me make this clear one final time villains Billy's ours not yours. I will adopt him as a son and make sure he knows how to use his powers as they become greater then anything you can ever imagine.
Mirage(Smirking) And what if we don't?
Jake made to hurt Mirage, Nick, and Mark but they winced as if they were already in pain with Jaclyn emerging from palm trees stabbing three dolls repeatedly.
Jaclyn(Cackling) Take that and that and that and a little of this too.
Jake was impressed a girl as young as Jaclyn knew how to make voodoo dolls as she grinned throwing the dolls making Mark, Nick, and Mirage fly back to Nomanisad Island.
Jaclyn(Looking out over the horizion) I'd call that a grand slam.
Jake(Taking Jaclyn's hand) Come on voodoo queen let's introduce you to the rest of the team.
Jake flew back the the cruise ship Jaclyn levitating over the water her being half witch and all.
Jake: Alright team great job back there and Billy I'd like you to know that you don't always have to play the hero but we're glad when you do.
Violet(Looking down at Jaclyn) And you are?
Lady(Running up to Jaclyn) Jaclyn Lee Shadow here you are we were so worried about you.
Violet: I'm guessing your her mother?
Jaclyn(Groaning) Mom I was fine I helped a gang of heroes save the day and am hoping to be rewarded because magic lessons aren't cheap.
Jake: She also knows voodoo which in my opinion would be a great assset to this team Violet.
Jaclyn(Smiling up at her mom) See I'm an assset mother and that's a good thing. I mean you always say I need new friends right?
Lady: I guess I have said that and you do seem happy with these kids.
Jaclyn: I am happy with them extremely happy with them.
The lady was Raven from the Teen Titans and she knew how much a team meant because before the Titans she was just a girl trying to figure out her magic powers as well.
Raven: Fine you can join them but the Titans would hate to lose their mascot.
Jaclyn(Hugging Raven) Thanks so much mom and I'm sure the Titans can manage without me.
Raven(Smiling) I'm sure they can too but if you ever need us you know how to find us.
Jaclyn(Kissing Raven's cheek) I won't Mama I mean thanksgivving's coming around the corner and I'm sure the Titans would love to be there or we could come to Titan Tower.
Kendra: DId you also teach her tarot?
Raven(Nodding) She's becoming very accurate with her predictions.
Kendra(Gulping) How accurate is very accurate?
Raven: I'd say 90% the other ten she tends to try to hard.
Jaclyn: How do you feel about the Grim Dog now?
Raven(Ruffling her daughter's hair) I need to get back so have fun with these kids at their school Jackie.
Jaclyn(Mumbling) I-hate-it-when-she-calls-me-that.
Raven kissed Jaclyn and left as all the boys and girl's left to get ready for the dance that night.
Well that's it for now and Jaclyn I hope you like your character because I worked hard on it and also the twist that Raven was your mother at the end of the chapter.
