 Jack had never concidered himself to be a morning person. He would always stay up at night doing stuff like reviewing his and Amelia's findings in his journal, usually passing out if his sister didn't make him go to bed. But he would always make sure he woke up on time to get the Mystery Shack ready for the day. (and yes, some chores on the side.) 

 This is not one of those days.

 Once he woke up, Jack felt something was off. He was groggy, yes, but that was cause he wasn't fully awake yet. Amelia had already left, and there wasn't some rodent trying to crawl in through the window or something. So why [i]were[/i] things off? He glanced at the alarm clock on the small table by his bed-

 Wait. Was it even turned on?

 His brows furrowed. Jack reached over to grab the alarm clock, quickly realizing why the hunk-of-junk wasn't working. Something unplugged it durning the night. It then dawned onto him,

 [color=cadetblue]"I'M LATE!?"[/color] Once he was dressed, Jack bursted through the bedroom door as he threw his jacket on. He ran to grab the keys to the golf cart, then hurried outside. Even if he didn't stop to read the note on the refridgerator, he already knew Amelia would be at Greasy's Diner by now. So he hopped into the cart, and drove off. 

 [color=cadetblue]"Oh, there's where I left my bat."[/color][hr] Once he arrived at the Diner and parked somewhere close by, Jack promply bonked his head against the steering wheel. [color=cadetblue]"Ugh, Ami's gonna get my head for this..."[/color] he sighed. He noticed Garfield stepping outside and waved at him, then forcusing on heading inside. [color=cadetblue]"Everything is fine, she won't hold it against you, you just gotta explain it to her!"[/color] he reassured himself, stepping out of the cart and to the door.

 [color=cadetblue]"....Nope. I'm probably screwed. And in we go,"[/color]

 Once inside, he looked around for any sign of his sister. He did spot her amongst a crowd, some familiar, and others he'd have to prod for information out of. Well, he might as well introduce himself. Jack snuck up behind Amelia and tapped her shoulder, then walking around to stand next to her. [color=cadetblue]"Didn't think I'd come by, huh?"[/color] He'd ask with a grin. Though it did turn crooked when he swapped to sign language to explain his abscense. [i][color=cadetblue]Sorry I didn't come by sooner. Something unplugged my alarm clock while I was asleep, so I ended up running late. If you're mad, get back at me later.[/color][/i]

 Then there was the crowd that needed adressing. So he looked around to say hello. He already saw Mr. Pollard, Sidney was busy trying to convince some poor soul or two about...something, Robin left too, so that left Teddy; Jack nodded to him to say hello, then to-

 Hold on. Is that???

 Jack's eyes narrowed in intent, straight at Jeremy. He slowly moved away from the counter, his expression unchanging save for a quick mischevious smile, before he tackled Jeremy into a bear hug. [color=cadetblue]"Finally! After all my years of research I have captured a GIANT!! Muahahaha!"[/color] Jack joked, letting the other guy go with a grin. [color=cadetblue]"But really Jeremy, how long has it been?! I mean, look at you! I swear I am shorter than you now!"[/color] Jack exclaimed, moving over next to him to measure.
