Hey everybody!!! I thought you might be bored, so I'll send you a little fic for your pleasure or pain. And, guys... I really need some feedback on this one. I'm having a terrible writers-block, and I don't know if I should stay on the track I'm on, or switch over to Angst or HR or whatever. Help me out here. What do you think? ********* Disclaimer: I don’t own the characters (though I wish I did). I do however own Danielle, so if anyone wants to use her, be my guest. And if anyone wants to pay me for this, go straight ahead. Until then, I’m broke. Rating: Haven’t got a clue. You decide. (I have got to learn those ratings!!!!) Downward Pull By: Six Nichols The compound was strangely enough very quiet this day. All the kids seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. Race became worried. Usually, when it was this quiet it either ment they were up to no good, or up to their necks in trouble. He went upstairs to check on them. Jonnys room was quiet. So was Danis and Jessies. But when he came to Hadjis room, he heard some very strange sounds. He became curios and put his ear to the door. -Aoh, my friend!! That hurts! Race hopped. What were they doing. Hadji sounded very upset. -Stop that, Jonny!! Jessies voice. -You’re hurting him! Don’t pull so hard! -Let me try. Danis voice. -That won’t work, Dani! Jonnys voice. -How do you know, Bleecho?! Have you ever tried it? -No, but.... -That’s right! Stupid....Now hold still, Hadj. A scream sounded. Hadjis scream. Jessie: Dani! Now you’re hurting him! Let me! If I just twist it around like this... Another scream. Dani: Don’t do that, sis! It will only go deeper in. What if we got some soap? Jonny: Now who’s stupid?! Jessie: Maybe we can pry it out with something? Dani: Good idea, Jess! Get that little one over there. Yeah, that one. Ok, let’s see. I’ll try it like this... Hadji: Oooooooww!! Stop that, Dani! Dani: Oh, come on, Hadj! It can’t be that bad! Hadji: Oh, how would you know?! It’s stuck in me! And it’s your fault it is, Jonny Quest! Jonny: Don’t blame this on me pal! You were in on it! Race almost died in the hallway. What the heck was going on in there?! He decided to eavesdrop for a little longer. Hadji: Oow, ooooooow, stop! Dani: If you don’t hold still, I can’t get it out! Jonny: Yeah, Hadj! Don’t be such a cry-baby! Jessie: Oh, shut up, you tow-headed twerp! (Smack!) Hadji: Dani please stop it! It hurts badly. Oooooow, aaaaaaahhhh! Dani: There you go! All done! WOW! Look at the size of that sucker! Hadji: Yes, that is the biggest one I’ve had in me. Jonny (very proudly, may I add): Yes, sir! You can tell it’s from my craftsmanship alright! Race staggered. Oh....My....God............ Dani: I’ll just fix you up, Hadji. Jessie take care of Jonny, will ya’? Jessie: Ok. Come on, Jonny! Race quickly moved away from the door, to a position where it would seem he had just come up the stairs. Jessie came out of the room, smiling. -Oh, hi dad! Howya’ doin’? -Um...fine...just fine... -’K.....Jonny!? Jonny came out the room. Jessie giggled. -Jonny, your flie... -Oh, dang! Thanks, Jess. He zipped up and followed Jessie into her room. Race stared after them with plate-size eyes. He could hardly stand up straight up anymore. Suddenly he heard Hadjis voice. -Thank god it’s out! That was very painful. -Yeah. I couldn’t bear seeing you suffer like that. -It is all Jonnys fault! ”Yes, Hadji, it’s safe! Don’t worry, I’ve done it before! It’s cool! Besides, Jessie and Dani are here! What could go wrong?” That was the last time I trusted him. God, it hurts! -Wait, I’ve got it. There. Better? -Much. Thank you, Dani. -No prob. Now, what have we learned from this little experience? Race felt naucius. Safe? Done it before? Jessie and Dani? Oooooh! He moaned loudly and leaned against the wall. He was very dizzy. Again came Hadjis cracked voice. -Never touch Jonnys things no matter how much he begs me to. -Right. And more? Race felt a sudden downward pull. -Never hold a board up for Jonny to kick in two. Race staggered. Huh? -Right! Danis voice. -No matter how much he tells you he knows what he’s doing, don’t go along with it, because he never knows what he’s doing. You might end up getting an even bigger splinter than that one in your finger! -Yes. And that would be highly unpleasant. I must not be so naiv! And besides, why should the wise tiger...um...tigers follow their foolish cousins? Race gulped. Splinter? A loud thud was heard from the hallway. Dani ang Hadji ran out. The sight that met them was following: Race lying on the floor, totally knocked out, with a big smile on his lips. Dani raised an eyebrow. -What just happened here? Hadji shook his head. -I have no idea. Dani sighed. -Has he been watching the playboy channel again? Sometimes I wonder what kind of people lives in this house.... The End.....hopefully. Well...that wasn’t too bad, was it? My English is a little bit rusty, so thank god for spelling/grammar control. I’m a Swede, OK! Well, at least I got you on the HR-front. Thought they were doing something else, didn’tya’?! Naughty, naughty!! Late night brewskis again. Get my drift? Comments? Questions? Guessings on what they used to pry ”it” out with? Send ‘em ‘ere! Gotta know!! ********** OK? What did you think?
