JAM Session

Arabella's POV

"Well, move over Chicago because Swellview's about to become the windier city."

Today hasn't been the weirdest day for me to say the least. Scooping out pumpkin guts from pumpkins is near the top of the weirdest things I've done, but not the weirdest. My dad is on a diet called PEP, which means he only eats pumpkin related food and Charlotte, Jasper, and I have been scooping out the guts of the pumpkins for hours and it's a little gross. My dad at the moment was having his arms and legs pulled and stretched by two ladies he hired to pull on his body ligaments to stretch them out. Also, a huge tornado is heading toward Swellview, but that's not something to worry about.

"Good one, Mary." Trent remarked, "not really. Bring your pets inside and tie your kids to something heavy, because a big, old tornado is on the way to Swellview and its expecting to cause powerful winds up to ninety-five miles per hour! So, now here's Mary with what she calls her 'Torna-Do's' and 'Torna-Don'ts.' Mary."

"Do: Stay inside. Don't: Go outside." Mary advised and I rolled my eyes.

I lowered the volume on the monitor and the elevator doors opened. I turned and Henry walked in and he noticed the odd scenario.

"Okay, girls pulling arms and pumpkins being murder." Henry explained and I smiled as I dumped guts into the bucket.

"Just another day in the Man Cave." I remark with a grin.

"Why are you making them hack up pumpkins?" Henry asked my dad.

"Isn't it obvious?" My dad asked him.

"No."

"I'm on PEP! P-E-P!" My dad informed him and Henry was still confused.

"PEP?" Henry asked.

"Yeah! The Pumpkin Eating Plan!" My dad explained. "All I eat are pumpkins now. Pumpkin juice, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin patties...."

My dad continued on and I tuned him out, because he already explained to me all the pumpkin stuff he could eat. I wasn't listening than and I'm not listening now.

"Hey, look, everybody!" Schwoz called as as he ran out with a odd device attached to his body and we all turned to him. "Look what I made!"

"Uh, what is that?" I asked him as I stood up from the couch.

"I call it a Brassiere!" Schwoz smiled and I made a face. "You can use it if there are strong winds!"

A bra?

"Oh, is this about that tornado that's heading toward Swellview?" Jasper asked Schwoz, who nodded.

"Yes! See, if a wind grabs you and lifts you off the ground, you can use these controls to turn yourself and navigoot!" Schwoz explained.

"Navigoot?" Henry asked.

"I think he means 'navigate.'" Charlotte corrected and Schwoz made a face.

"Navigate!" He mocked at her, before bending down. "Hey! Who wants a Brassiere!?"

We all denied his offer before returning to our pumpkin scooping and Henry came up behind me.

"Wanna stay at my place tomorrow tonight, babe?" He whispered in my ear, causing shivers down my spine. "I'll protect you from the tornado."

"Aw, that's so cute that you think you can stop a giant tornado." I grin and pat his cheek, causing him to frown. "But, yeah, I'll stay with ya tomorrow tonight."

"Sweet." He smirked and kissed my cheek. I noticed Schwoz trudging away with his device and angrily cursing under his breath.

"Hey, Henry, did Piper start Junior Anger Management?" Charlotte asked, getting Henry's attention.

I forgot, Piper started JAM class, which is an anger management class for young kids with anger issues, like Piper.

"Uh, yeah, me and my dad dropped her off there this morning." Henry explained and my dad laughed.

"What?" Henry asked him.

"Ha!" My dad laughed. "Ha! As in, JAM class is stupid."

"No, it's not." Henry protested.

"JAM class helps a lot of angry kids." Charlotte added.

"Well, it's not gonna help Piper." Jasper reasoned.

"Why not?" I asked him.

"Because she's an animal!" Jasper exclaimed.

"Yeah! And besides, people never change." My dad reasoned. "That's why they say 'Angry at five, angry at fifty!' And, uh, 'Once a freak, always a freak!'"

"Alright! Alright!" Henry snapped. "Anyway, I was at Piper's JAM class this morning and I bet it does work."

"Well, I'll tell you what." My dad began, standing up. "Let go of me." The ladies let him go and my dad approached us. "I bet you...that the day you're sister's done with JAM class, I can get her to lose her temper..." My dad snapped his fingers. "That very same day!"

Henry snapped his fingers. "Nah! I doubt it! Cause they have these cool aroma collars that let out a special mist that-"

"Blah, blah, cool aroma collars!" My dad mocked, cutting Henry off and I rolled my eyes.

"Alright! It's a bet!" Henry declared and I stood next to my boyfriend.

"Yeah, it's a bet." My dad softly agreed.

"Well, I'm Team Henry." I grin and Henry kisses my check.

"I'm Team Henry, too!" Charlotte smiles and Henry gives her a fist bump.

"Well, I'm Team Ray!" Jasper smiled, putting his arm around my dad.

"Take it away." My dad said and Jasper retracted his arm, sitting back down.

"So, what's the bet?" I asked.

"The bet is...when I get Piper to lose her temper, you, Henry, and Charlotte, gotta eat a whole bucket of raw pumpkin guts!" My dad explained to us, showing us a handful of guts.

"So, when you fail to make Piper lose her temper, you and Jasper have to eat a whole bucket of raw pumpkin guts!" Henry smirked and I folded my arms with smile.

Jasper clapped, standing up. "Yeah! While wearing swimsuits!"

We just stared at Jasper with confusion and my dad blinked.

"What?"

"I was just saying we should wear swimsuits when we're-

"Just." My dad sighed and pushed Jasper back down. "Just be quiet." My dad put his hand out for Henry. "So, we got a bet?

"We got a bet." Henry agreed and shook his hand.

Jasper jumped in. "Just to confirm, no swimsuits?"

"Stop that."

"Stop talking."

Sometimes I wonder if Jasper was dropped on his head as a baby it would explain a lot. Like a lot.

——

-The Next Day-

It was the following day and night had rolled around quickly and Henry invited all of us to dinner, besides Schwoz, because my dad had a job for him to do. I have dinner with Henry's family often, so it's nothing new to me. It's really nice when your close with your boyfriend's family, except for the fact that my dad flirts with Mrs. Hart occasionally and it's annoying. Because, if somehow they did end up together, Henry and I could possibly become step-siblings and that would cause many problems. Many problems.

The tornado was getting closer and the winds were getting stronger by the minute. Thankfully, this tornado will pass by Swellview and not take out any houses or important buildings in the town.

We all walked into Henry's house and Mrs. Hart smiled at all of us.

"Mom! Hey!" Henry greeted.

"Hi, Mrs. Hart." Charlotte greeted

"Heya." I greet her and my dad gives her a sly smirk."

"Hello, Mrs. Hart." I flick his arm and he waves me off.

"Hi!" Mrs. Hart greeted with a friendly smile. "I didn't know you were bringing friends and your girlfriend to dinner."

"Friends, girlfriend, and his boss from Junk-N-Stuff." My dad added.

"Mom, you remember, Bella's father, Ray." Henry reminds his mother.

"Oh, sure, we've met a dozen times." Mrs. Hart smiled, putting her hand out for him.

"Fourteen." My dad said and I sighed.

"Really?" Mrs. Hart gasped as they shook hands and Henry and I tried our best to stop their moment.

"Dad." I gritted through a smile. "Unnecessary."

"Must your father flirt with my mother." Henry mutters to me and I groaned.

"Not my fault!" I muttered back to him.

"Uh, hey, can I go up to your room for a sec?" Jasper asked Henry, catching our attention.

"Why?" Henry asked Jasper, who slowly made his way upstairs.

"You'll see." Jasper said and repeated it in a low voice. "You'll all see!"

Jasper went upstairs and Henry looped his arm around my neck.

"Mom, would it be cool if Airy crashes here tonight?" Henry asked his mother and she smiled.

"Of course, but no funny business." She told us with a stern look.

"Got it."

"Yep." I nodded and blushed, knowing what she meant.

I'm not ready for that sort of stuff yet, even though it's crossed my mind countless times. Every time I catch Henry shirtless or doing something incredibly hot, that's a huge turn on for me and it's so hard to contain myself from him.

"Yeah, no funny business." My dad repeated in a  stern voice, giving Henry a look. "I'm talking to you."

"I get it!" Henry exclaimed and backed away. "Geez, man."

My dad eyed us both before looking away.

Mrs. Hart's phone beeped and she looked at it.

"Oh, it's Piper! She and her dad will be here any minute." She informed us. "I better go butter the lobster balls!"

"Lobster balls?" Charlotte questioned and I grinned.

Henry motioned us over and we huddled together.

"Hey, before Piper gets here let's go over the bet." Henry suggested.

"Okay, when Piper gets mad and loses her temper, Jasper and I win, and you three got to eat a nasty bucket of pumpkin guts." My dad smiled and I scoffed at him.

"Or, when Piper doesn't get mad and lose her temper, Henry, Bella, and I win." Charlotte challenge and I nodded.

"Yeah, and then you losers got to eat a nasty bucket of pumpkin guts." I smirk at him and my dad gives me a look.

"You're such a child."

"So are you." I fire back and he flicks my nose.

"Uh, guys."

We all turned to see Jasper wearing a swimsuit and had cut his shirt in half so it looked like had a crop top on.

"Oh god." I groaned and grabbed Henry's arm.

"Well...hello everyone." Jasper greeted with a smirk.

"Dude, we told you the swimsuit is not part of the bet." Henry told Jasper.

"I know! I'm just showing off my new one." Jasper remarked and moved his hips in a circle. "Ehh? Ehh?"

"Uh-uh, uh-uh." Charlotte shook her head and right than the door opened. Piper and Mr. Hart walked in and shut the door.

"Look, who's back! It's me and Piper!" Mr. Hart beamed.

"Dad, please don't make a big deal." Piper pleaded and I noticed she had a collar around her neck.

"What's on her neck?" I asked Henry.

"That cool aroma necklace." He told me and I nodded.

"Hi, baby." Mrs. Hart greeted. "Guess what we're having for dinner tonight? Lobster balls and Fofu!"

"Seriously?!" Piper beamed and ran right over to her mom.

"Yeah." Mrs. Hart smiled and grabbed her hands.

"What is Fofu?" I asked.

"It tastes just like Tofu." Mrs. Hart informed.

"But it's made with meat." Piper finished and we all nodded.

"Oh."

"Okay."

"Alright."

"Sounds good."

——

Dinner was ready and we were all eating the lobster balls and Fofu. It actually wasn't bad.

Henry and I were eating at the counter together and talking.

"Ray, would you like another lobster ball?" Mrs. Hart offered as she sat down. My dad was eating a pumpkin and nothing else.

"Would I like to? Oh, yeah." My dad smirked and Mrs. Hart smiled.

"Do you think he'll ever stop?" I asked Henry and he snickered.

"No." Henry shook his head. "Mm, this Fofu really does taste like meat."

"Yep." I agreed and Charlotte looked over.

"But not the good meat." She said and we gave her a look.

The doorbell rang and we all looked over at the door.

"Mm, doorbell." Mr. Hart said. "I guess someone's at the door."

Henry walked over and answered the door. I looked over and saw a man standing there with a pony.

"Uh, hi?" Henry greeted him.

"Hello." The man greeted and the horse sneezed.

"Did someone order a pony?" Henry asked us and Piper got up with excitement.

"A pony!" She beamed and ran over to the pony. Charlotte and I walked over to them.

"Wow." My dad said as he and Jasper got up. "I wonder why there's a pony here."

I gave my dad a look and he was grinning. He and Jasper are up to something and I don't like it.

"Uh, it says here that this beautiful pony is a present for Piper Hart." The man told Piper and she was over the moon, laughing.

"A present for Piper? Gosh, Piper, you must be so excited and happy!" My dad stated and I glared at him.

"I am!" She giggled.

"Okay, little girl, here's your-wait!" The man stopped. "How old are you?"

"I'm eleven."

"Ooooo." The man said.

"Oooo." Jasper and my dad said and I folded my arms.

"Yeah, sorry kid, you got to be at least thirteen to get a free pony." The man sadly told her and walked away with the pony.

My dad and Jasper set this up to anger Piper.

"What?" Piper gasped in disbelief, before yelling. "That-that jerk just took my pony away!"

"Uh-oh, I think somebody's about to get angry." Jasper grinned and this worried Henry, Charlotte, and I.

I motioned to Piper's collar and Henry grabbed the bulb, squeezing it

"Yeah, I'm about to get angry! I've wanted a pony since I was three years old! Do you understand what it's like to..." Piper slowly trailed off when the mist emitted from the collar and she calmed down. "That's a nice looking swimsuit." She told Jasper and was now completely calm.

Jasper and my dad glanced down at Jasper's swimsuit.

"It is?" Jasper asked.

"Oh yeah, it makes me happy." Piper said as she made her way back to her dinner. "I'm gonna have some more Fofu."

Jasper and my dad gave us an angry look while Charlotte, Henry, and I gave them a smile.

This war has just begun.

——

Dinner resumed and it was calm for a while, but I know that won't last.

"No, stop." I giggled as Henry tried to take one of my lobster balls. "That's mine."

"I know." He grinned and I playfully shoved him. "But as a couple, we share things."

"Share things." I mocked and stuck my tongue out at him, taking back my lobster ball. "When it comes to food, I don't share."

"Trust me, I know that." Henry remarked and I chuckled.

"But, since I love you." I sighed and gave him a lobster ball. "Here."

"Sweet." He chuckled and gave me a smirk. "I knew my irresistible charm would persuade you."

"That and I'm full." I grin and he rolled his eyes.

"Henry! Bella! Charlotte! I've got to show you something really cool!" Jasper eagerly exclaimed to us and Charlotte walked over to us.

I sighed and we followed Jasper down the hall.

——

"Wait! Come back!" Jasper pleaded as we walked back into the living room.

"Why would you think we'd care about seeing your big toe?" Henry asked him.

"Because it's really unusual." Jasper reasoned.

"So is the rest of you!" I point out and Jasper sighed. I noticed my dad was gone and this worried me.

Oh no, my dad left. He probably has a plan to anger Piper.

"Wait, where's Ray?" Henry asked, also noticing my dad had left.

Jasper pretended to not know. "I don't know."

"They're up something." I say.

"Uh-huh." Henry nodded.

"We better find him." Charlotte declared and we began to look all over the house for my dad. Henry went outside while I looked upstairs with Charlotte.

We couldn't find him and returned downstairs, still searching. We got interrupted when the door opened and Captain Man walked in with Henry behind him.

"Hello, everyone! It's me!" He greeted and tried to close the door on Henry.

The Harts got excited and Piper ran over to my dad.

"Wow!"

"Look it!"

"Captain Man!" Piper beamed and I groaned.

"Ah, geez." Charlotte and I say.

"Wow, Captain Man, what are you doing here when there's nothing for you to do and you probably should be leaving maybe." Henry rambled on with a glare.

"Yeah, why'd you come here?" Piper asked him.

"Yeah!" I exclaimed and my dad gave me a look.

"Well, you're the president of my fan club, aren't ya? The Man Fans." My dad smiled.

"Yeah I am." She smiled and I rubbed my head.

Oh no.

My dad gave her a look. "Or maybe not."

"What. What do you mean?" She asked him with confusion.

My dad sighed. "I'm sorry, to be the president of the Man Fans, you have to be at least four-foot-ten inches tall."

I growled at my dad, gripping the couch cushions.

"She is!" Mr. Hart beamed.

"Yeah, I am four-foot-ten." Piper agreed and Henry let out a laugh.

We all looked at Henry and he let out a small cough. "Sorry, I coughed." He coughed weirdly and I shook my head.

"Yeah, you know what, actually." My dad scoffed, correcting his mistake. "What I meant to say was, you can't be the president of the Man Fans if you're four-foot-ten, which apparently you are, so...sorry." My dad apologized with a sheepish grin.

"What?!" Piper said.

"That is so dumb." Mrs. Hart mentioned.

"Hey, I don't make the rules." My dad shrugged.

"Well, who does?" Mr. Hart asked.

"A person." My dad said and I rolled my eyes.

Unbelievable.

"This is insane!" Piper yelled.

"Remember your bulb? Squeeze your bulb!" Henry quickly told her and Mrs. Hart reached for the bulb, but Piper stopped her. "No! I got elected president of the Man Fans fair and square!"

"But that was back when you were probably four-foot-nine, so..." My dad mentioned, sitting down.

"Uh, let me squeeze your bulb for you!" I offered, but Piper moved away from me.

"No!" She yelled and I jumped back. "Everyone get away from me and my bulb!" I walked over to Henry while giving my dad and Jasper a glare. "Okay, I'm really mad but.... I'm not gonna lose my temper because I've learned that if I do lose my temper then-"

Piper got caught off by something or someone crashing through the ceiling, yelling loudly. Henry wraps his arms around me, protectively and pulled me away. The thing or person landed right on Piper and tackled her to the ground. I looked closer and noticed that Schwoz had crashed right into the house.

Henry loosened his grip, but kept his arms around me my torso. Piper stood up unharmed, but the collar had fallen off her neck.

Schwoz sniffed the air. "Do I smell lobster balls?"

Schwoz walked over to the table and Mr. and Mrs. Hart were very confused.

"Who is this man?!" Mrs. Hart asked, alarmed.

"Piper's collar broke and fell off!" Mr. Hart pointed and Piper noticed the broken collar on the floor.

"Piper..." Henry began and let me go, approaching his sister. "Come on now, there's no reason to lose your temper or anything. It's all good-"

"No reason?" She snapped and moved in front of the door. "I had a pony that was repossessed! I got fired from the Man Fans because of my height! And then, some insane man just fell through our roof and is eating all of our lobster balls!"

We looked at Schwoz, who was eating the lobster balls.

"But, but, you liked Jasper's new swimsuit!" Charlotte nervously reasoned and I nodded.

"Yeah, yeah, you said his new swimsuit made you happy!" I remind her with a nervous smile.

"Well, I've changed my mind!" She snapped and ran over to Jasper. She ripped off his swimsuit, throwing it over to Charlotte and I looked away from him.

I wasn't ready for that. Oh god.

"Ahhh!" Jasper yelled, trying to cover up his lower region. Charlotte tossed the swimsuit away and it hit Mr. Hart, who tossed it over to Schwoz and went into the lobster ball bowl.

"Ah, the lobster balls!" Schwoz groaned.

"I am not okay!" Piper cried and ran into her room.

My dad was just causally sitting there with a large smile. "I'm okay."

And we just lost the bet and now we have to eat nasty pumpkin guts.

——

The next day, Henry, Charlotte, and I were in the Man Cave eating pumpkin guts.

"It's better than Fofu." Charlotte mentioned and Henry and I gave her a look.

"No it's not."

"I know..."

——

Season 4 is approaching us and that means...book 2 will be here. Book 2 will consist of season 4 and 5, and the finale of Henry Danger.

The main reason I'm making anther book is because I don't want to this book to reach the chapter limit. It probably won't, but just incase it does, and also season 4 and season 5 have a whole different vibe to it compared to the first three seasons.

I have a name for it, but I won't reveal it until the finale of this book✌️
