"No no no no!" Argit laughed as he beat Alan for the sixth time in the game they were playing. "Oh yeah! I am the king!" Argit jumped up and began doing his victory dance. "Alan, give me that controller." Jen walked over and set a pan of pizza down. "Uh-oh." Argit grabbed his controller and Alan handed him to Jen.
Jen selected her character and the two started their match. Jen from the start had an upper hand. "This isn't fair, I don't know all the combos," Argit said, frantically hitting buttons. "It'll teach you to gloat," Jen said and quickly K.Oing Argit's character. "Damn!" Argit cried and hung his head. Jen chuckled and grabbed a slice of pizza. "Chin up, Argit," Alan said with a smirk.
Jen's phone then rang and she quickly answered. "Hello?" "Hey, Jen," Kevin said from the other end. "Key, Kev, what's up?" Jen asked, watching Alan and Argit go head to head again. "We are gonna do some team bonding tonight," Kevin said. "Oh, we already are, we're playing video games," Jen said. "Team bonding with the entire team, you guys get ready and come to the pier," Kevin said then hung up. Jen sighed and put her phone back in her pocket.
~~~~~~~~~
Jen stopped her car at the pier and looked over at Argit. "Time to put it on," she said and Argit reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver ring. "What's that for?" Alan asked. "It's enchanted with a glimmer sell, it makes Argit look human," Jen said.
Argit put the ring on and the illusion instantly went up. Argit looked like a human human and his quills looked like long, shaggy, wild hair. "That's cool," Alan said and Argit examined his human face. "So flat." he groaned. "Relax, it's just for tonight," Jen said and they all got out of the car.
"Over here." Jen looked over and saw Kevin and Gwen. Jen nudged Alan with her elbow and they headed towards Gwen and Kevin. They all met in the middle. "Argit?" Kevin asked and the Argit nodded and held up his hand, "Enchanted ring." he said. "You can enchant a ring to disguise Argit but you can't put a shirt on?" Gwen asked. "No, I REFUSE to put a shirt on, and I have my reasons for that, so be lucky I wear a jacket," Jen said and stuck her tongue out at Gwen.
"So, who wants cotton candy?" Alan asked, quickly stopping whatever fight was about to break out. "I could go for some," Jen said and they all headed to get some cotton candy.
"So, why did you up and decide we need team bonding?" Argit asked. Kevin smiled, "We need to learn to get along a bit better." he said. "His mom has her boyfriend over," Gwen said and Kevin blushed from embarrassment. "Oh, he loses mama's boy, gotcha," Argit said. The others chuckled and Kevin blushed deeper.
"Hey, Kevin." everyone looked and a girl was approaching them. The girl had short black hair, and deep brown eyes, and was dressed in a pink hoodie, white skirt, and white shoes. "Oh, hey Julie," Kevin said with cotton candy hanging from his mouth. "Hey, Julie." Alan greeted and Julie smiled, "Hi, Alan." she said. Alan looked at Gwen, Jen, and Argit, "Guys, this is Julie, me and Kevin's classmate." he said. "Hey, Julie, I'm Jen, this is Argit and Gwen." Jen introduced. "Nice to meet you all," Julie said, looking closely at Jen.
The Omnitrix suddenly began beeping. "Is that a watch?" Julie asked, looking at Kevin's wrist. "Oh, yeah, I need to get this thing fixed," Kevin said and covered his wrist. "I gotta go to the bathroom," Kevin said and quickly ran off. Jen hummed and looked around trying to see anything that would cause the Omnitrix to go crazy like that. Nothing caught Jen's eye, it was hard to focus, the buzzing in the back of her head getting stronger.
"I like your locket." Jen looked up and saw Julie had moved closer. "Oh, thanks, my boyfriend gave it to me," Jen said with and faint blush on her cheeks. "You have a boyfriend?" Alan asked and Jen nodded. "Damn," Alan said and Argit chuckled.
A group of people then screamed and everyone looked over to the bumper cars. A green and black striped bumper car leaped out, its cable sparking behind it. "Watch out!" Julie tackled Jen to the side just before the possessed car rammed them. "Whoa, thanks," Jen said and watched the car drive off. "No problem," Julie said and the two stood up. The possessed car then flew past them and Kevin charged as Sonicsound. "Crap!" Jen put a soundproof shield up before Kevin released the ear-piercing scream.
"That's what happened," Julie said. Jen was surprised and confused by what Julie just said. "What...?" Jen looked over her shoulder at Julie. "You don't remember?" Julie asked and reached into her pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper. "Thi- Look out!" Jen's shield was rammed hard enough to shake the ground and make the two fall. Julie dropped the paper and Jen lost control and dropped her shield, a strange black and green blob then grabbed Julie and took off.
"Jenny!" Julie screamed as she was carried away. "Jenny?" Jen questioned. How does Julie know her full first name, she never goes by it and never tells anybody. "Ugh, I don't have time for this," Jen said and looked around for the others, all of them were knocked out due to the scream and Kevin was running away from a group of fans. Jen grabbed the paper Julie had dropped and flew off after her and the blob.
As Jen flew off she unfolded the paper, it was a crayon drawing. There were two stick figures, both girls. One had straight brown hair and a green dress. The other figure had black pigtails with stars and a pink dress. "I... know this," Jen said and narrowly dodged a tree.
~~~~~~~~~
Jen landed at a crash sight and saw the black and green blob holding Julie. "Let her go!" Jen shouted, charging energy up on her hands. The blob released Julie and she ran over to hide behind Jen. The blob toward over them, "Ship...ship." it said. Jen stared for a moment and let her energy die, "You need help don't you?" Jen asked and the creature nodded. "Why did you bring me here then?" Julie asked.
"It's the oldest trick in the book, it was using you as bait." Jen said and Julie made an 'O' shape with her mouth. "I needed help." Jen and Julie looked up and saw an adult version of the alien emerge from the ship. "No one was answering my distress signal," he said. Jen sighed, "The beeping from the Omnitrix." she said and stepped forward to help the alien.
~~~~~~~~~
Jen and Julie, were outside the ship adjusting an intena. "Hey, Julie?" Jen asked. "What's up?" Julie asked, smiling at Jen. "How did you know my full first name, and what's with the drawing?" Jen asked, pulling the drawing from her pocket.
Julie frowned, "Jen, it's me, Julie-star. We were in daycare together, we made that picture together." she said, hurt in her eyes. Jen felt like she had been hit by a train, she remembered. "I remember!" Jen exclaimed her eyes glowing with happiness. "You always had paper stars in your hair, and we were friends," Jen said, Julie smiled brightly.
"What happened to you?" Julie asked. Jen sighed, "That's a long story, but to sum up one thing for you, I lost some of my memories." Jen said. Julie smiled, "It's okay, you're back now and you remember me." she said and Jen nodded.
"I was so sad when you disappeared, I still have one of your missing posters," Julie said. "Missing posters?" Jen asked, a little surprised. "Yeah, your parent had missing posters up for about two years," Julie said and Jen seemed to become lost in thought. "Jen?" Julie asked. Jen shook her head and smiled, "I'm okay, let's finish up here and I'll take you home." she said. Julie nodded and the two got back to work.
