"How long have they been listening to that thing for?" Alan asked and handed Jen a smoothie. "A long time," Argit said. Kevin and Gwen had been playing the holo-message over and over, it was getting kinda annoying. "Well, they do have a lot on their shoulders," Alan said and began drinking his smoothie.
Jen sighed and walked over, snatching the holo-message. "That's enough, just sitting here watching it isn't gonna get us anywhere," Jen said and tucked it into her pocket. "How about we go and find more plumber kids like Max suggested?" Jen said. "For once, you have a good idea," Gwen said and stood up from the sidewalk.
"I'm, I have football practice early tomorrow," Kevin said, rubbing the back of his neck. "I was gonna go with him, maybe start going to school with him," Alan said. "I made plans to meet up with some old friends," Argit said, twiddling his fingers. "This will be good for you two." all three boys said in unison and ran off. Jen and Gwen stood still for a moment before sighing and getting in the car. Jen started the car up and turned the radio down before hitting the road.
Neither Jen nor Gwen spoke for the first few minutes. "Can I have the holo-message back?" Gwen asked. Jen reached into her pocket and retrieved the holo-message, handing it to Gwen. Silence fell over the two again.
Down the road a truck crashed, falling off the bridge. "Whoa!" Jen hit the brakes and got out, running to examine the damage. The truck driver was unconscious and his truck was on fire, it didn't help that the bridge was collapsing. "Gwen stop the oncoming cars " Jen ordered and jumped off the bridge to help the truck driver.
Jen used her energy ripped the door off and pulled the driver out. Jen then put a shield around the truck, suffocating the fire. "Look out!" Gwen jumped from the bridge and tackled Jen out of the way of a piece of rubble. "Thanks," Jen said and looked up at the bridge. "Use your powers and hold the bridge in place, I'm gonna fix it." Gwen nodded and put the bridge back to the way it was. Jen flew up and aimed an energy blast, melting the would and welding it back together. Jen sighed then looked over and saw a girl walking into traffic "Gwen, stop her!" Jen shouted but someone fled down and grabbed the girl.
Jen flew down and landed by Gwen. "Whoa! Who is that?" Gwen asked looking at the guy. He was blonde with blue eyes and Jen could sense nothing but trouble. "Is everyone okay." the guy asked, landing in front of Jen and Gwen, the girl held in her arms. "Everyone is fine," Gwen said she looked dazed and lovestruck. "That's good." the guy said then the girl in his arms started to stir and panic.
"Shh...you're okay," Jen whispered placing her hand on the girl's head and soothing her to sleep. Green light admitted from Jen's palm and the girl was knocked back out. "That's very impressive." the guys said and smiled at Jen. "I'm Mike Morningstar, and you are?" "Taken, and I'll be taking her." Jen took the girl from Mike's arms. "Jen, don't be rude." Gwen scolded, glaring at Jen. "Learn to sense the ick, Gwen," Jen said and put the girl in her car.
"I'm, how about we meet up after you two take Trina home?" Mike asked smiling at Gwen. "That sounds nice," Gwen said before Jen grabbed her and put her in the backseat. Jen sped off and Gwen began scolding her for how rude she was. "Gwen, he is trouble, I could sense it," Jen said and slowed down to the speed limit. Gwen frowned, "I think you're just rude, and who are you taken by?" she asked. "None of your business, and I was rude because he is trouble. If you wanna go see him, you're going alone." Jen said and gripped the steering wheel.

Jen stopped outside a mansion and Gwen got out. Neither girl said anything and Gwen walked through the gate. Jen's friend unzipped her bag and pulled out five seeds and they sprouted into tiny creatures. "Watch her, call me if anything happens," Jen said and tossed her creatures out the window before driving off.
Jen went to the nearest Mr. Smoothie and sat on the hood of her car with a strawberry and peach smoothie. Jen sat and drummed her fingers while listening to conversations being had around her. "Hey, look what we got here Cash." Jen cringed at the sound of that name and looked up, seeing two unforgettable faces.
Cash and J.T., reasons five and six for Jen running away. "Hey, Babe." Cash said leaning against Jen's car. "Not interested, Cash," Jen said and he looked surprised that she knew his name. Cash's surprised look turned into a smug one, "Oh, guess you know one of my many ex-girlfriends." he said, trying to act cool. "You don't have any ex-girlfriends, Moron," Jen said, people now turning to look at them.
"No girl in her right mind would fat a boy who is scared of tickle me, Elmo," Jen said taking a sip of her smoothie. Cash blushed deep red and clenched his fist. "How did you know that?" J.T asked. "It's me, Jen." "Tennyson." Cash and J.T. both stepped back. Everyone was now fully focused on the three and whispers began. "OMG, it is Jen." "What happened to her?" "She looks like a baddie." Jen smirks and shows Cash and J.T. away.
Jen sat back but her eyes suddenly glowed. Jen frowned and got in her car, heading for the location she was seeing.
~~~~~~~~~
"Whoa!" Gwen dodged a zombified girl but was pinned by another. Jen's creatures tackled the girl and pinned her down. "What are those things?" Mike asked and Gwen chuckled nervously. "They're my minions," Jen said, strutting into the power plant.
The zombified girls began charging at Jen. Jen used her telekinesis lifted the girls and tossed them to the side, knocking them out. "Jen, be careful." "You're not," Jen said and laid the girls down with the ones her creatures had pinned. Jen crouched and put her hands on the ground, muttering something. Jen and the girls glowed green before a bright flash blinded Gwen and Mike.
Once the light faded Gwen peeked and saw all the girls perfectly healthy. "Whoa," Mike said and Jen stood up, quickly teleporting all the girls home. "Not as impressive as what you can do," Mike said grabbing Gwen's hand. Gwen blushed and Jen frowned, "She has a boyfriend." she said. Neither one listened "Wanna go have dinner?" Mike asked and Gwen's blush deepened. "Right now?" she asked "I'm hungry now," Mike said pulling Gwen closer.
"Let's get going," Mike said and flew off with Gwen in his arms. Jen sighed and called her creatures back then headed for her car. Jen pulled out her plumber badge and began tracking Mike. Jen floored the gas.
~~~~~~~~~
"I knew we had a connection the minute I met you," Mike said. "I feel the same way," Gwen said. Mike grabbed Gwen's hand and cupped her face. Gwen sighed and her blush deepened. "You truly are the one for me, Gwen," Mike said and his skin and hair began turning gold.
"O-Oh..." Gwen's legs began to shake and she became pale. Mike gripped Gwen tighter and began to laugh as Gwen was drained of all her power and energy, leaving her like the zombie girls. "Finally!" Mike cheered as he became overpowered.
"Hands off!" Jen flew through the door and knocked Mike down, taking Gwen from him. Jen looked at Gwen and set her down against a wall, putting a protection spell on her. "No!" Jen turned and put a shield up and reflected Mike's blast. "I ain't let you take her, I'll destroy you before you get the chance!" Mike screamed and flew down at Jen. Jen morphed her hand into a giant maker and hit Mike in the gut, sending him flying.
"Ugh." Mike sat up and clutched his stomach. Mike looked up and his eyes widened in shock and fear. Jen floated off the ground and transformed, anger visible on her face. "You will never hurt MY cousin again!' Jen hissed and dove down at Mike.
~~~~~~~~~
Jen exited the building, and Gwen held in her arms tightly. Mike was inside, drained of power, unconscious, and his plumber badge destroyed. "Why weren't you charmed?" Gwen asked, slowly coming to. "My love for my boyfriend is stronger than any charm he has or could ever get," Jen said and put Gwen in the car. Gwen frowned and closed her eyes, leaning her head against the window.
"I won't say a thing to Kevin," Jen said and began driving. "Thank you," Gwen said and passed out again. Jen frowned and made a decision then and there.
