Inventions

Jack barrelled into the kitchen, knocking Danny over in his haste to show his family his new invention.

"Sorry, kiddo!" Jack hauled a dazed Danny to his feet. "Maddie! Jazz! Get in here! I have something to show you"

The Fenton girls curiously entered the kitchen. "What is it, Jack?" Maddie asked.

Jack looked like a kid on Christmas. "I have invented...the Fenton Goo Blaster! FGB, for short."

Danny, Jazz and Maddie exchanged wary looks. They all knew what happened when Jack tried to invent something.

Jazz eyed the silver and green contraption for a moment. "What's it do?"

Jack grinned. "It can instantly turn a ghost immovable! Then that's where I tear it apart molecule by molecule!"

Danny paled. Maddie frowned. "Um, Jack? Is it supposed to...do that?"

Jack frowned and followed Maddie's gaze. The FBG was vibrating on the wooden table, red lights flashing and beeping loudly. Jack scratched his head. "I don't think so..."

Suddenly, the FBG exploded, sending pink goo all over the kitchen. Maddie and Jazz shrieked as it splattered in their hair. "Not again!" Jazz wailed.

Silver mechanisms scattered across the tiled floor. Pink goo dripped from the appliances and walls. Maddie glared at Jack. "We'll file this one under the NEVER AGAIN section." Jack pouted.

Jazz found her brother huddling under the table, goo free. She helped her nervous brother up. "The best thing about Dad's inventions is that they never work!" Jazz said to her shaking, close to being immobile brother.
