This has been nice so far right? Well either way, here's Episode 3!

"Maybe it's broccoli," said Jade as she swung her legs under her stool, eyes scanning over the words in the research book she was supposed to be reading without picking anything up. "Broccoli is a deadly weapon, I dare say."

"Or brussel sprouts," offered Jimmy. "Those are even worse."

"True," admitted Paco.

The whole gang was back at Uncle's Rare Finds, except for El Toro, whom they had said good bye to in Mexico.

"Children," said Jackie for what felt like the millionth time, forcing himself to sound patient. "Please. We are trying to research a removal spell for Jimmy, and your constant chatter isn't helping anyone."

Jade sighed and closed her book. "Then what can we do?" she asked. "It's summer- it's actually summer; no school or homework to entertain ourselves with. Not that we'd do the homework anyway."

Paco nodded in agreement.

Jackie sighed. "Why don't you go to Jimmy's house while we continue our research," he said, just to get rid of them. "Jade, I'll call you when we find a proper spell."

"Aye aye, captain," she replied, jumping off her stool and placing her closed book on top. "Paco, Jimmy; we've got a mission."

And with that dramatic exit, the teens marched out of the shop.

(LINE BREAK)

"Your parents aren't home?" asked Jade as she fell back down on a couch in Jimmy's living room.

"No," he replied. "During my 'educational archaeological dig with Jackie', my mom took the opportunity to drive five hours away to tend to my old grandma. Like she needs tending; Mom's just afraid of Grandma's health and would take any excuse just to see her," he muttered quietly afterward.

"And your dad?" asked Paco.

"Business trip," Jimmy replied. "He's always on one. I'm home alone for approximately three days; my mom's got my neighbor across the street to check in on me twice a day, and is depending on me to hang out with you guys the rest of the time."

"So what you're saying is that we've got this entire place to ourselves," said Jade.

"Pretty much," Jimmy said. He walked under a low chandelier and bumped his head against it. He winced, rubbed his head, and ducked under it.

Jade had noticed Jimmy's physical changes; he was a lot taller, perhaps by six inches, and a lot more muscular. He looked fit enough to compete in a weight-lifting contest against Helga Sorenson, Tohru's Chang Gang counterpart. And that was saying something.

Jade rolled off of the couch and to Jimmy's laptop. She quickly typed in a song on YouTube while asking Jimmy if he could levitate rocks whenever he wanted, or that just had to be when he was pumped up with adrenaline. (Example, in the heat of an epic battle of good against evil in a Mexican park where the Earth Demon's Good Chi was located.) Jimmy shrugged, saying that he didn't know. Then the song Jade had chosen got past the advertisements and began to play.

Paco groaned and stuffed his head in a couch pillow. Jimmy just stared at Jade. "Really?" he asked.

Jade shrugged. "Hey, K-pop is in style," was her defense. "You gotta follow the flow... You know?"

From inside his pillow, Paco said, "I swear, if I hear Psy one more time I will freaking rip my bleeding ears off, and it doesn't matter if it's Gangnam Style or Gentleman or a bloody Katy Perry cover."

"Bloody?" asked Jade.

Paco poked his head out. "In my defense, English is my second language," he told her. "I don't know if 'bloody' is Englandish or not."

"Englandish?" asked Jimmy.

Paco groaned and put his face back in the pillow.

When the song reached the point where Psy goes "Oppa Gangnam Style", Jade got one ofher ideas that usually resulted in windows being broken and cats climbing up trees. She excused herself quietly and stood up to fetch a rock from outside. Jimmy hadn't noticed her weapon, so she motioned for Paco to stay quiet. Then, as fast as a thirteen year old can throw a rock, she flung the missile at Jimmy. He saw something move toward him from the corner of his eye and turned to face it, covering his face with his arms in surprise, palms pointing outwards. The rock stopped mid-air, hovering in front of Jimmy. When he had gathered enough courage to lower his arms, he saw what had happened and dropped his hands, dropping the rock along with them.

"Whoa," he said.

"Double whoa," Jade added.

Jimmy picked up the rock without touching it and sent it flying across the room. It bounced off a wall and would have hit Paco if he hadn't rolled off the couch fast enough. Jimmy and Jade started laughing.

So as Jimmy practiced his newfound powers, Paco and Jade decided to play a video game they liked to play when there was nothing left to found two Macs lying around the house and used those.

The game went like this; you take the role of a superbeing (whether or not the said person has superpowers or not) and go on missions, one-on-one battles, and explorations in areas around the world, both fictional and real. One can also choose the scenario in which these game modes occur; a scenario where they are a Hero, or one in which they are a Villain (This not available to the one-on-one vs. mode of the online game).

Jade's avatar is a remake of Larry's fictional comic self, Sppectacularry. Paco's avatar is sort of like an adult version of him in that Halloween costume he wore, called "El Toro Junior". Jade teased him about being unoriginal with that one for months.

At the moment, Paco was the bad guy trying to rob a few million from a bank. Jade was supposed to let him have a ten second start to the money (they stared around two kilometers away from the bank, and then Paco had to get back to his secret lair), then go chase after him.

"Gonna get you! You can't escape me!"

"MUAHAHAHAHA! Take that, you stupid bank person! And that! And that!"

"HA!"

"NOOOOO!"

Paco groaned and pushed himself away from the laptop, Jade just having shot him out of existence with a fireball. A not-very-nice YOU LOSE sign flashed on his screen, and an identical YOU WIN plaque was engraved on Jade's. She stood up and did a little victory dance in front of Paco, just to rub it in.

"I win, you lose," she taunted. The game was now 3-3.

"This time," said Paco, returning to the computer. "But you won't be gloating for long, Yade."

Jade groaned. "You just do that do annoy me," she said. Paco had mastered her name several months ago, but still called her Yade every once in a while to tease her. She quickly pressed PLAY AGAIN? and she and Paco started being all good-guy/bad-guy again.

"Hey, guys?" called Jimmy from the other side of the room. He was currently lying flat on his back, twirling his fingers in the air, keeping the rock from falling onto his face. "Is it just me, or are you guys starving? I am. I need food."

"Sure, Jimmy," said Jade, still fighting Paco's virtual avatar. "I know where we can go."

"Somewhere Mexican, I hope," said Paco without looking up from his computer screen.

"Nah, all the Mexican places are too far away to walk. I wanna go to that new restaurant the Enforcers started. The Golden Corner."

"The Enforcers?" asked Jimmy, still lazily flying his rock around. "Like, those bad guys who appeared in practically every battle you and Jackie fought because they were hired by the Dark Hand, some dark chi wizard, a floating head, and for one day a demon-wannabe?" Oh if drago heard him at that moment...

"Those guys. But they're good guys now."

"Oh. Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"Because you only show up in one battle, that's why."

"I'm so unimportant."

"You're not going to make me feel guilty, Jimmy. Besides, I- PACO, I AM GOING TO SKIN YOU ALIVE AND FEED YOUR INSIDES TO A RABID GOAT!"

Paco had just beaten Jade again. Somehow.
