This is my VERY first attempt at a JQ fanfic.  It is awful.  Of that
I have no doubt.  So, I am therefore going to tortur... I mean bless
you all with the chance to read my awful fic.  Please send ANY comments
to me, either over the list or via private e-mail.  This was my response
to the Valentine's Day challenge, which I don't know if it's ever going 
to be posted.  

Here were the restrictions, in case anyone forgot, or joined afterwards.

1. The fic you are about to be instructed to write must be short and be 
about anything you want, containing all the characters in the team.

2. But the story must also contain one or more fictional character/s 
that does not exist in the original cast, for example Alexis Ericta's 
JQ2000-team-members, or people you make up yourself.

The story must also contain the following:

3. A very big misunderstanding

4. The phrase: "This time you really blew it, pal".

And last, but not least:

5. Celine Dion's "My heart will go on".

So, without any further ado, here is Embarrassing Videos
and Earplugs.

Disclaimer: I do not own Jonny Quest, the Quest Team, etc.  I also do
not own Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On".  I do own Lexa, though you
will probably never hear of her again.

Catagories: H (I hope), V (I think)

Archievers: If you really think you want it, it's yours.  Just let
me know.

Warning:  I hate Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On."  This is carried
through in this story.  My appologies to those who do like the song,
however, I have heard it far too many times, and will scream if I hear
it again.  Please forgive me.

        Jonny was going towards the stairs of the Quest Compound when he
heardlaughter coming from the living room.  Turning around, he went in
to go see what was going on.  As he walked in, he saw Hadji and Dr.
Quest seated on the couch, watching a video of Jonny and Jessie holding
a ticklefight.  Both Dr. Quest and Hadji were nearly bursting with
laughter.

        "Dad!!  What in the world are you doing?  Where did you get
that?" Jonny's face was rapidly turning beet-red.  Dr. Quest tried to
calm down enough to explain.

        "Well, you see, Jonny, Hadji was going to teach me how to obtain
self-control in any situation, but I thought I'd test his self-control
first.  I pulled a tape from one of the security cameras, and was
showing it to Hadji to gauge his reaction."  Jonny looked mortified. 
Just then, Jessie walked in with Lexa.  Predictably, she had about the
same reaction as Jonny.

        As soon as Jessie regained control, she pushed the mute button. 
Now the only sound was Dr. Quest, Hadji, and Lexa choking back laughs. 
"Where.  Did.  You.  Get.  This?"  She asked, drawing out each word
slowly.  Jonny jumped in.

        "Dad said they got it from off of the security cameras."  Jessie
nodded.

        "Are.  There.  Any.  More?"  At this, Dr. Quest tried to look
innocent.  Jonny and Jessie were immediately onto him.  Hadji turned to
him and sighed.

        "This time you really blew it, pal."    Any reply made to Hadji
was lost as Race walked into the room.  Glancing at the TV, he
immediately started to chase after Jonny.

        "I thought I'd told you to keep your hands off of Jessie!  Come
back here, you little...  You're not supposed to do that to women until
you're 18, which you won't live to see if I get my hands on you." 
Jessie and Lexa ran to the kitchen as the others started to follow Race.

        "Now what do we do?  Dad's trying to kill Jonny 'cause he thinks
Jonny was groping me on the video."  Lexa burst out laughing.  "Don't
laugh, it's true.  Anyway, what are we going to do?"  Lexa leaned over
and whispered something in Jessie's ear.  Jessie nodded and handed Lexa
some earplugs.  Jessie then ran up to her room and grabbed one of her
CDs. Popping the CD in the player, she selected the track number and hit
play.  Putting in earplugs, she turned up the volume as far as it would
go.  Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" began to blast from the
speakers.

        All the guys fell down where they were, grasping their ears in
an attempt to block out the sound.  Race gasped out,
"Stop....the.....torture."  Lexa appeared.

        "Only if you stop chasing Jonny.  He wasn't doing anything
wrong.  It was just a video of the two of them having a ticklefight."

        "Anything...if...it...will...get...the...noise...to...stop." 
Lexa saluted the air, and the song stopped.  Race stood up and looked at
her suspiciously.  "How come you weren't affected by the noise?  You're
not one of those freaks who actually likes the song, are you?"

        Lexa shook her head.  "Nope."  She removed the earplugs.  "It
pays to have a pair.  You never know when the song will show up on the
radio. Come on, let's go wake up those who entered the realm of
dreamworld to avoid the ravages of the song."  With Jessie's help, they
woke up Jonny, Hadji and Dr. Quest.  Once awake, Dr. Quest and Race both
insisted that Jessie get rid of the CD.  However, having discovered what
an effective weapon it was, Jessie secretly received another copy from
her friend Lexa.  After the next two incidents, the guys all resorted to
carrying earplugs with them.

The End, I think.
