"Er um sorry again about your car" said Sandy, as she gestured towards some scorch marks on the car door's exterior.

"What? Huh? Um forget it already. I have." said Megavolt.

"So um where are we going?" asked Sandy.

"Just to my pad" said Megavolt. "Why? Do you have someplace else you have to be?"

"No... um no... I don't think... Er, um no, at least I don't think so... not that I recall anyways" said Sandy.

Just then the 2 of them reached Megavolt's lighthouse.

"You live in a lighthouse?" asked Sandy.

"Er... yes" said Megavolt. "Why? What's wrong with that?"

"Nothing I guess, I mean um ...at least I don't think... that is um... Oh never mind" said Sandy as she reached for the doorknob to open the door.

As Sandy reached out and touched the lighthouse door's handle a spark jumped off her hand and scorched the door around the knob which started to smolder.

"oops sorry" said Sandy as she entered.

Sandy was just about to sit down on the sofa when Megavolt yelled "No! Wait!"

"Why? What?" asked Sandy.

"You might scorch it." answered Megavolt.

"Oh" said Sandy. "Well what am I supposed to do? I can't just stand here forever can I?" Then she whined "I'm tired. I want to sit down".

Megavolt said "Hey wait a minute! I have an idea! Why don't you borrow a pair of my gloves? Then you won't scorch anything."

Megavolt handed Sandy a pair of his gloves but as she reached to take them another spark jumped of her.

After donning a pair of Megavolt's spare gloves Sandy asked "How do you know... this will work?"

"Um... I don't know. I don't remember." answered Megavolt.

Then Sandy slumped down into the sofa exhausted, feeling drained and close to passing out, having discharged most of her energy by this point.

Megavolt looked at her and asked "Are you ok?"

Sandy looked up at Megavolt. With almost no energy left she could barely lift her head. She spoke ever so slowly as she answered him. "I feel... tired... Like I... have almost... no... en...er...gy." she said.

Right away Megavolt knew what was wrong with her. It wasn't like he hadn't experienced it himself countless times before. He knew immediately what needed to be done. "You need a recharge." he said.

"A...Re...char...ge?" Sandy asked.

"A recharge" Megavolt said again.

"Wh...ats...a...re...char...ge?" asked Sandy.

Megavolt ignored her question, or maybe he just didn't hear it. She had practically been whispering when she had asked it after all. Instead Megavolt began rummaging through his closet mumbling "Where is it? Where did I put it? Where is that darn charger? I know it's here somewhere."

Turning away from the closet to look somewhere else, Megavolt tripped over something that was sitting right out in the open in the middle of the room. "Ouch" he said as he stubbed his toe on it.

"What was I looking for again?" he mumbled as he looked down at what had tripped him. "My charger!" he exclaimed. "So that's where I put you!" Then he mumbled "What was I looking for again?" and looked at the charger again as if expecting it to answer him. "I was looking for something. What was it? What was it? I... Oh ya right. The charger of course! That's what it was! Now what did I need it for again?" he mumbled.

Megavolt happened to glance over at the sofa. "Oh right. I was going to recharge her. Right. That's what I was going to do. Recharge her. But um... just who is she? Oh well nevermind. I'll ask her later after she recharges".

Then he plugged in the charger cord and carried the charger over to Sandy who was flopped out on the sofa almost passed out. As he looked for someplace to attach the charger to her his hand brushed against her neck and he noticed her pulse. It was weak and thready and almost non existant. "Oh oh, I better get you charged up quick your in bad shape" he said.

After several minutes of trial and error, Megavolt finally decided to attach the charger's clamps to Sandy's thumbs.

About 10 minutes later Megavolt's phone rang and he answered it. It was Negaduck. The boss wanted him to drop whatever he was doing immediately and meet up with the rest of the fearsome five at their number 5 warehouse hideout. "I'll be right there" said Megavolt as he hung up the phone.

"Come on lets volt!" said Megavolt as he grabbed Sandy's hand. "The boss wants us there 10 minutes ago" he said.

"Boss? Us? What?" asked Sandy.

"Well er... um... maybe not us. But I can't leave you here by yourself. You might get into trouble." said Megavolt as he tugged her out the door with him. "Come on we're going to be late."

The charger's clamps pulled off Sandy's thumbs ans fell to the floor as Megavolt dragged her out the door with him.
