The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest:
A Swimming Pool and an Apple Tree
By Greg Bontrager

	Dr. Benton Quest, Race Bannon, Jessie Bannon, Jonny Quest, Hadji
Singh, and
Bandit sat in the lanay of their home in Palm Key, Florida.
	"Megan should be here any minute," Race said.
	"Oh, the Sultaness is coming!" Jonny said with a teasing grin on
his face.
	"Do not start, Jonny," Hadji warned.
	The doorbell rung.
	"That must be her," Hadji said, getting up to answer the door.
	"I'll get it!" Jonny ran after Hadji.
	"You know what he's going to do if he opens that door first, don't you,
Race?" Dr. Quest said tp his bodyguard.
	"Yep.  He'll bow to her," Race replied.
	When Megan Jangh stepped through the doorway, Jonny bowed to her,
with Hadji
standing next to him.
	"Then he'll call her a sultaness," Dr. Quest added.
	"Come in o' wise Sultaness!" Jonny said as Megan entered the house.
	Megan blushed.
	"Then Hadji will elbow him in the side or kick him in the shin," Jessie
finished.
	While Megan hung up her coat, Hadji kicked Jonny in the shin.
	Megan, Hadji, and Jonny entered the lanay a few moments later.  The
four
teenagers removed their clothes to reveal their swim trunks.
	"You know, Jessie," Megan said as she hung up her clothes. "Sometimes I
wonder if my children will hold any special position,"
	"Well, I know one thing," Jonn replied to Megan. "Your first child
will be
heir to the Bangalore throne!"
	"Now, cut it out!" Megan said.
	"Jonny, what color are your eyes?" Hadji asked.
	"Blue.  Why do you ask?" Jonny replied.
	"I will make them black if you do not stop!"
	Without much further delay, the four teenagers jumped into the
swimming pool.
	"Ah!  What could be better?  I'm in a swimming pool with two of my best
friends," Jonny said.  Then, he added, motioning toward Megan, "And the
Sultaness of Bangalore!"
	"THAT IS IT!" Hadji yelled.
	Jessie, Dr. Quest, and Race laughed as Hadji and Megan chased Jonny
back and
forth across the swimming pool.

The next day...........................................
"Hey, Jonny!  Want to go pick some apples off the ol' apple tree?" Jessie
invited.
"Sure!" Jonny replied.  He stole a glance at her as he put his coat on.  *Man,
she's beautiful!*

A few moments later...................................

	"Hey, Jess," Jonny called up into the leafy branches of the apple
tree. "Did
you get any?"  He paused when an apple came down and hit him on the head.
	"Yes!  Bull's-eye!" Jessie cheered as she picked another apple and
dropped
it.
	"Hey!" Jonny shouted.  "I could-"
	"JONNY!" Jessie screamed as she started to fall.
	Jonny instinctively outstretched his arms with the palms of his
hands upward,
just in time to catch her when she fell.
	"Are you okay?" he asked
	"I am, thanks to you!" Jessie answered.
	Suddenly, they realized the pose that they were in.  Jonny's wrists
and hands
supported the back of Jessie's knees and her neck.  Jessie had her arms around
his neck.  They blushed.
	"Um.........Jonny, you can put me down now," Jessie said, breaking the
silence.
	"Oh......uh.........Sorry," Jonny replied, putting her down.
	"Thanks," she said.
	"No problem,"
	Jessie began to go into the compound.  Jonny stood there, staring
at her as
she walked away.  *She's a knockout!*  *Snap out of it, Quest.  She'll never
be more than a friend to you.*  *But............*
	"My friend, hiding you feelings is not going to help," Hadji
interrupted his
thoughts.
	"But, Hadj, if I tell her, she'll probably laugh at me and say I
was no more
than a friend to her!" Jonny said.
	"Try, my friend.  She may surprise you," Hadji replied.  He knew
that Jessie
recipricated Jonny's feelings, but, he knew that he should let Jonny find out
for himself.
	"How do you know?"
	"Trust me, my friend,"

	Jonny knocked on Jessie's door.
	"Come in," Jessie called from inside.
	Jonny opened the door.  "Uh, Jess,"
	"Yeah, Jonny?"
	"I...........uh.........." he started to say.  "Woah" he tripped
over Bandit
and landed on top of Jessie.
	"I like you," Jonny finished, still lying on top of Jessie.
	"Sure you do!  We wouldn't be friends if you didn't!"
	"Well, I mean as more than a friend,"
	"Oh, like that!  How long?"
	"About a year," Jonny replied, on the verge of blushing.
	They stood up, facing each other.
	"That's about how long I recipricated your feelings," Jessie said.
	Jonny raised an eyebrow and came closer to Jessie.  "Really?"
	"Yes,"
	They leaned closer to each other.
	"You know, Jonny," Jessie said as her arms slowly began to wrap around
Jonny's neck,
"I think we're meant for each other,"
	"Maybe we are," Jonny said, wrapping his arms around her waist.
	They leaned closer to each other and slowly closed their eyes.
Their lips
interlocked in a kiss.
	At this moment Dr. Quest walked in.  He needed to try his new
invention, the
Automatic
Non-Flash Camera.  When he saw Jonny and Jessie, he paused for a moment in
shock, snapped a picture with his experimental model, smiled, put his hands on
his hips, and waited.
	Jonny and Jessie parted after a few moments.
	"Wow!" Jessie said.
	"Your dad's going to kill me!" Jonny replied.
	"At least nobody saw us,"
	"I wouldn't be too sure of that," a man's voice said from behind.
	Jonny and Jessie spun around to see Dr. Quest standing in front of
Jessie's
bookcase, smiling from ear to ear.
	"Dad!" Jonny said, startled.  "What are you doing here?"
	"Trying my new invention," Dr. Quest answered.  "And also enjoying
the sight
of my son's face turning brick-red," he added with a laugh.
	"So, what's your new invention?" Jonny asked as a photograph slid
out of a
slit in the camera.
	"Jonny, if you're trying to get my mind off of what I saw, it isn't
going to
work,"
	"Why not?"
	"Because you still have your arms around her waist,"
	Jonny quickly removed his arms from Jessie's waist.  "Pssst, Jess," he
whispered.
	Jessie realized that she still had her arms around Jonny's neck,
and quickly
removed them.
	"I was looking for something to try my new camera on," Dr. Quest said,
pulling the completely developed photograph out of the camera. "I wanted it to
be worth photographing.  Thanks to you two, I found something!"
	"Well, lucky for you, Dad," Jonny said.  Then, suddenly, he
realized what his
father meant. "Hey, wait a minute!  Let me see that!"

	"JONATHAN QUEST!"
	"Uh-oh!" Jonny said.
	Race stormed into Jonny's room, grabbed him by the collar, and smiled.
	"Scared you, didn't I?" he said, laughing.
	"Ha-ha-ha-ha, Race," Jonny said sarcastically.
	"Finally, something to tease you about!"
	"Dad showed you that darned picture didn't he?"
	"Yep!"

JQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQ

	"Good job, my friend," Hadji said, putting a hand on Jonny's
shoulder.  Then,
he grinned. "Excuse me while I go see how the young Mrs. Quest is doing,"
	Jonny grabbed his pillow and tossed it at Hadji.

JQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQ

	Once again, Jonny, Jessie, Hadji, and Megan were in the swimming
pool.  Megan
kissed Hadji on the cheek and said, "I hope Jonny didn't see that,"
	"Do not worry Megan," Hadji replied, "We have our own weapon now,"
	"What?"
	Hadji whispered something into Megan's ear.
	"Oh, they did, did they?" Megan said, grinning.  She nudged Hadji
and called
to Jessie, "Hey, Mrs. Quest!"
	Hadji, Dr. Quest, and Race laughed as Jonny and Jessie chased Megan
back and
forth across the pool.
