The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest
"Never Say Never" -part 4

by:NIX

        The room dimmed and Jessica and her colleague, Yuri Caron, entered a
black booth with a big screen to show what they were doing. Jessica
activated the machine, and there was a low humming sound that
came out from the inside of the box.
        Everyone was silent and excited as Jessica and Yuri put the
virtual reality headgears on. She began punching in the commands on her
laptop and suddenly they were in a replica of the grandballroom.
Everything was exactly the same as the actual ballroom that the charity
ball was being held.
        "You see almost evry object in this room has been placed with a
very tiny senson that when I do this in the program,"she said ligting a
glass from the podium inside the virtual world, "It lifts up as well in
the real world."
        There were gasps and soft murmering as the actual glass on the
podium lifted up as well. The host approached the floating glass and ran
his hand above the glass.
        "No strings!!!!" he exclaimed shocked.
        "Amazing," Quest muttered under his breath.
        Jessica and Yuri appeared once again from the black box and took
a proud bow. Then they hugged each other in happiness for the whole room
erupted in thunderous applause.
        "Amazing job Dr. Bannone,"a woman said.
        "We will definately continue our funding!" another man said.
        Jessica's face flushed as she smiled and thanked everyone for their
gracious comments. She hadn't' felt this good for a very long time. Her
hard work and commitment seemed to finally payoff.
        A little breathless from the overwhelming attention, Jessica made
her way to the punch bowl and placed some in a small glass. She sipped
the cool fruity drink when Yuri came up to her with his date Mimi.
        "Congratulations Jessica, what can you say for yourself?" Yuri asked
her.
        "Words can't describe my feelings," she laughed humorously at him. She
took another long dip of her punch.
        "Where is your date Jessica?" Yuri asked her quizically. "Don't tell me
you lied?!"
        Jessica rapidly thought of an excuse to give Yuri." Oh, he ah,
I ah..."
        "So sorry, I took so long my dear!" a voice suddenly said.
        Jessica turned around to see a handsome yet unfamiliar man. He had the
most icy blue eyes she had ever seen. She could smell the strong
spicy colonge he used.
        "Your her date?"Yuri asked in disbelief.
        "Um, yeah," Jessica said as she looked at the man who had saved her
from another one of Yuri's matchmaking.
        "I'm Quest, Jonathan Quest,"the mysterious man introduced himself. He
shook Yuri's hand and kissed Mimi's. "Its a pleasure to meet both of
your acquaintances."
        "Okay, Jessica, let us leave you," Yuri grinned as he and Mimi left the
two alone.
        "Thanks," Jessica told Quest. She began to pour herself some more
punch, but was stopped by Quest.
        "No let me do that," he said smoothly, as he gently took the cup away
from her. "Your presentation was quite impressive."
        "Thanks,"she said as she took the cup Quest handed her. "Mr. Quest why
did you do that?"
        "Please its Jonathan, and to answer your question, I did that because,
I thought to myself a lovely creature like you shouldn't be alone in a
party."
        "I appreciate your effort, but now that this is all over I must go,
afterall, I still have a lot of work ahead of me," Jessica said putting
the cup down and began walking away from Jonathan.
        "Don't leave so soon," he whispered quietly. "Stay at least for one
dance."
        She looked at him, unsure of whether to leave or accept his invitation.
She first of all, hardly knew the man, and yet, he was very attractive
too. *Come on Bannone make up your mind!!!* Jessica saw his hand asking
for her hand and she.....
