Hi! ;) I'm Stephanie Reeves and this is my story. I must
tell you that I have no official position  in the money making
process of the copyrighted stories and such. (And most likely I
don't have the permission either.) So if there's anyone out there
who works for Hanna-Barbera, I have  two things to ask of you:
#1. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Don't sue! I'm only a teenager! I
don't have any big amounts of cash flow! 
     And #2. Could you possibly tell me how to apply for a job
there? I have a great interest in the art of animation, and my
friends tell me that I'm good at it too! :)


     Note: In Jonny's Golden Quest, Jade Kenyon Bannon was
introduced as Jessie's mother. I don't think that Hanna-Barbera
has killed her off. I just made it up. (Shhhh...don't tell
anyone, but that's what fan-fiction is for!)

Another note: This is just a short story, so don't expect it to
have a lot of "action" in it.

     THE REAL ADVENTURES OF JONNY QUEST:

               My Tornado

     Jessie was nervous, very nervous. She was looking out the
window in the dead of night. She had tossed the translucent
curtains of the study aside, they were now resting on her
silhouette. Even though she knew she wasn't supposed to be. She
could hardly see what the color of the sky was through the
window. * I wish it would go away. * She thought, * I don't want
it to hurt what family I have left. I wish it would just go away.
* She thought over and over, after all it was only in her mind,
so she thought.
     The rest of the "Quest Team" is posted in a downstairs
basement, each person holding  a lantern. Jonny is sitting to the
right of Hadji who has just come in and sat down. Dr. Quest is
sitting patently listening to the noise outside. Race is no where
to be seen as well as Jessie.
     "Where is Jessie?" Dr. Quest thought aloud. "I'm afraid I do
not know my Dr. Quest, maybe she's with Race." Race was coming in
the door as they were finishing their conversation, "What? I
haven't seen Jessie for a while, I thought she was with you two."
Looking at Jonny and Hadji. He paused and then said a little
angry and worried, "She might have gone back upstairs."
     At that moment Dr. Quest decided to suggest to make a search
party, "Well then, we're not much use down here are we? Let's go
get Jessie."
     "I'll check the study." Said Jonny starting up the stairs.
"I'll check her room." Said Race, practically running up the
stairs. "I guess that leaves you and me to search the rest 
doesn't it Hadji?" Dr. Quest said pointing up the staircase to
Hadji.
     Jessie?" Jonny said softly, "Are you here?" He looked around
the room. "Uh-huh." Said a soft voice from the opposite side of
the study. 
     Jonny stared at Jessie in awe, here was a girl braver than
any other girl he had known in his whole life, but this time when
he looked at Jessie she seemed frightened.
     Her eyes were wide with fear, so he thought it, as she was
looking out the window. * Fear, * he thought. * What a powerful
emotion. * He had experienced fear before and he hated what it
had felt like.
     Jessie just stood there looking out of the window, breathing
deeply, trying to hide her convulsions. "You know," She began a
little shakily. "My mother was killed by a tornado."
     "Jess, do you feel okay? Estella is not dead, you should
know that."
     Jessie became enraged at his words, for he didn't
understand, "NO JONNY! ESTELLA, MY BIRTH MOTHER, JADE KENYON
BANNON!!!" She hushed up quickly after that and sank to the
floor. She curled her arms over her knees and buried her head
while she shook convulsively, and she just cried. Not out of
anger, or pain, but of confusion. * Why my mother? Why??? * 
     Jonny wasn't mad at Jessie for yelling at him, in fact he
sort-of understood why she had yelled. He sat down beside her,
talking.  She finally calmed down a little, still trying to calm
her convulsions.
     "I'm scared," She said in a low tone. " I'm scared I'll end
up like my mother." She started to cry once more.
     "Come on  Jess," Jonny said, trying to cheer her up. "Let's
go back to the basement." She shook her head violently from side
to side getting dizzier and dizzier, tears streaming down her
face. She would cry even if the tears burned her cheeks, she
didn't care it made her feel better.
     Jonny talked to her softly, he had known the feeling when
his mother died. He remembered that he had cried every night over
losing his mother, he knew that crying wouldn't bring her back.
Hadji and Jessie had helped him get over that. * It's the least I
can do for  a friend. * He thought. "It'll be all right Jess."
Jonny extended his hand to help her off the floor and began to
walk out of the study. 
     Jonny had stopped by the kitchen earlier on the way to the
basement to get Jessie a towel to wipe her face with. Near the
top of the basement stairs Jessie had stopped her convulsions and
set down the towel. She stopped just before she reached the
stairs.
     "Thanks for calming me down back there Jonny I guess I
kind'a lost it." Jessie said with a smile tugging at the corner
of her mouth. "It was nothing," Jonny said starting her back down
the stairs, "I've had experiences like that before too!" He
smiled his usual, goofy grin which always made Jessie laugh.
     As they went down the stairs she could hear the storm moving
away farther and farther...


     If you have not liked my story I'm sorry. I'm not much of a
writer (I'm more the artist type! :-)) If you have enjoyed it,
wonderful! I don't do a lot of writing.
