CHAPTER THREE!

( season 3; episode 2 - love muffin; part two )

The gang came up with a plan to get Ray back to normal on their way back to the Man Cave. They got to the Man Cave before Ray and Gwen did and hid in different places. After Gwen went to the backroom, Henry is the first to get out of his hiding place.

"So..." Henry drags out the word, walking away from his hiding place and Ray turns to look at him with raised eyebrows. "Charlotte," Henry continued.

Charlotte stands up from her hiding place. "Yeah, Henry?"

"Who do you think should win 'Most Attractive Guy in Swellview'?" Henry asked her.

Charlotte crosses her arms, pretending to look confused. "'Most Attractive Guy in Swellview'?"

Henry nods. "Yeah."

Charlotte tilts her head to the side and pretends to think. "Uh..."

Juniper stands up from behind her hiding place which had been by one of the tubes. "Defintely not Ray." Ray glanced at her with offense. As she walked over to stand by Charlotte and Henry, she just smiled at Ray and shrugged.

"Hey," Jasper gets up from behind the right side of the couch, and since Ray sat on the left side of the couch, he looks over at Jasper with confusion. "What about your dad?"

"Yeah," Schwoz chimes in, standing up from behind the super computer desk. "Your dad is hot."

Jasper walks over to stand by his friends. "Well, yeah."

"That is true." Charlotte said.

"That's an interesting way of looking at it." Henry commented.

"Yeah, sure, why not." Juniper shrugged.

Ray chuckles and he sits up straighter because he had been leaning back on the back of the couch. "Wait, wait, wait a second you guys." He stands up. "Just a friendly reminder," He smiles proudly, pointing at himself. "I've won the 'Most Attractive Guy in Swellview' for the past twelve years, so..." He shrugs. "It's kinda in the bag."

"Well, yeah," Henry walks over to him. "But...You're kinda old now."

The smile falls off of Ray's face when Henry said that. He chuckles in disbelief. "I'm old?"

"Yeah, what are you, like, over fifty?" Henry asked.

"Fi-" Ray looks at him with disbelief, pointing at the blonde-haired boy. "Did you just use the 'f' word?"

"Hey, look, I'm just saying that you-"

"I'm thirty-five, Henry," Ray interrupts Henry, putting his hands on Henry's shoulders with a smile on his face. "You know that." He took his hands off Henry, glancing at Schwoz and chuckled, pointing at Henry, as if he was saying he couldn't believe what Henry said.

Henry glances at his friends for help since Ray wasn't getting mad enough. Juniper, Charlotte, and Jasper points at their hair, signaling him to talk about Ray's hair. Henry nods, looking back at Ray. "Uh, well," He starts to list out some things, counting them on his hand. "You're starting to loose your hair a little bit-"

Ray looks at him with anger in his eyes. "What did you just say to me?"

Henry changes the subject as he walks over to stand in front of the super computer. "Hey, where's Gwen?"

"Gwen happens to be getting ready to go rob a bank." Ray responded.

Henry nods and shrugs. "Or maybe she's not going to rob a bank." He sits down at the super computer, still facing Ray. "Maybe she's goin' to meet some other guy."

"She's going to rob a bank." Ray argued.

Henry tilts his head to the side. "Or she's goin' to meet some guy named Rob...Banks."

Ray furrows his eyebrows, pointing at Henry. "That's stupid! That's not a guy's name."

Henry nods. "Yeah, it is." He stands up as Ray looks down with an angered expression. "Just face it, Ray. Gwen doesn't want you." He walks over to stand behind Ray, who was facing away from him. "She wants Robert. J. Banks. Y'know why? I bet he's way better lookin' than you."

Ray turns to face him with a glare. "Not possible."

Henry nods and walks away. "Yep." He glances back at Ray. "He's probably in his early thirties."

Ray angrily points at him. "That's enough!"

Henry faces Ray with smirk. "Yeah, I bet he's gonna kiss her so good." He then begins to mock Ray and acting how Robert would act with Gwen. "Oh, Gwen, you kiss like a princess. Mmm, your lips feel like hot pie."

Ray yells angrily, running at Henry. Henry's eyes widen and he screams when Ray grabbed him and threw him across the room. Thankfully, Juniper, Charlotte, and Jasper moved to stand near the couch just in time so they wouldn't be in the crossfire.

Henry stands up. "It's not my fault she likes younger guys!" Ray walks over to him, picking him up by grabbing the collar of his shirt. Henry pushes his hands off him and messes with Ray's hair. "Oh, is that some grey hair? Is that some grey hair?" 

Ray does his best to get Henry off of him. "Get off of me!" He yelled, grabbing Henry's arm and throwing him to the floor.

Henry grunts in pain when he landed on the floor roughly. Charlotte kneels in front of him. "Keep going. You gotta make him madder."

"Yeah," Henry glances at her with an annoyed expression. "I'm workin' on tha-" His sentence was interrupted by his scream as Ray pulled him away by grabbing his legs and pulling.

Charlotte stood, standing by Juniper and Jasper. Schwoz was by them now, sitting on the couch as they all watched the fight. Ray then threw Henry across the room and the blonde-haired boy landed on the floor by the super computer.

Henry breaths heavily, out of breath from the fight, and uses the desk near him to help him stand up. He faces Ray and challenges him. "Come on, you ain't so bad." Ray yells, running at him. "You ain't so bad!" Henry taunted him, ducking away from Ray just in time. He goes to grab Ray's arm, but Ray pushed him back, causing him to stumble backwards and Henry ended up stumbling into the couch.

Juniper used her super speed to get to him first with a concerned look on her face, helping him stand up. He sent her a thankful smile and she smiles slightly at him. She knew that him fighting Ray was the only way to get Ray back to normal but she didn't like it at all because it was hurting Henry.

Jasper sits on the couch in front of where Henry stood with a grin on his face. "This is so cool to watch!" Juniper rolled her eyes and hit his shoulder as a way of scolding him.

With a blank expression on his face, Henry responds with, "I'm glad you're having a good time."

"Go!" Jasper encouraged, pushing Henry towards Ray. Ray grabbed Henry's shoulder, swinging him around before he threw him over to the side of the room where the door to the backroom was. Ray screamed and ran at Henry again, but Henry kicked him away.

Henry uses the steps to the platform he's nearby to help him stand up and he tiredly gets on the platform. "She..." It was clear that he was tired and weak from the fight, he was even having trouble standing, but he stood strong since he didn't want to give up. "Probably makes muffin for lots of guys."

"She only makes muffins for me!" Ray angrily exclaimed, running at Henry. Henry's eyes widened while Ray grabbed his arms and flipped him over and onto the floor.

Juniper couldn't help the gasp that left her lips, her eyes widening as she watched the scene play out in front of her. Everyone rushes over to help Henry up. Once again she was the first to get to Henry, immediately helping him up to his feet and the others helped once they got there. She had an arm wrapped around his waist and he had her arm wrapped around her waist, leaning into her slightly for support.

No one noticed Ray getting out a weapon. Everyone looks at Ray with wide eyes when they see him pointing the weapon at Henry. "No, Ray!" Juniper shouted, her voice laced with panic.

"Ray, don't!" Charlotte yelled.

Ray suddenly starts stumbling backwards like Henry did when the love spell was broken for him. Juniper lets out a sigh of relief, relieved Ray didn't use the weapon and that the fight had worked. "I think you did it!" Charlotte smiles. "It's working!"

While Juniper stays with Henry, their arms still wrapped around each other, the others go over to Ray after he fell to the floor. Yes, Juniper was concerned about Ray, but Henry was her main priority right now. Juniper and Henry walk over to the others who are now helping Ray up and onto the chair at the super computer, the three of them talking to him to see if he was okay.

Ray shakes his head, furrowing his eyebrows. "What happened? I was in love...With a woman, uh," He snaps his fingers, trying to remember the name. "Gwen!"

"She gave you a love muffin." Schwoz told him and Ray looked at him with confusion.

"Yeah," Henry nods. "And then I had to make you really mad so your feelings of rage and anger would overpower your muffin-induced feelings of love."

Ray tilts his head to the side and nods. "That makes sense." Everyone turns their attention to the back door that was opening. Ray's eyes widen. "Oh, guys, quick, go hide!"

After Henry assured Juniper he was fine on his own, Juniper lets go of him (even though she honestly didn't want to and to be honest he already missed her touch) and he lets go of her. Everyone hides quickly just before Gwen walked out in her villain outfit. 

"Okay, Ray, I'm about to leave...It should take me about, hmm...Twenty minutes to rob the bank." Gwen explained, smiling at Ray when he walked by him.

Ray stands up and smiles. "Awe, that sounds great."

"Oh hey," Gwen stops and turns to face Ray with a smirk, pointing at her high ponytail. "How do you like my ponytail?"

"Oh," Ray walks over to her with a dreamy smile, pretending that he was still on the love spell. "I love it." Gwen smiles at him. "I mean, it's really cute and just so..." Ray's voice trailed off as he reached forward to put his hand on the back of her head and yanked down, pulling off the hair extension Gwen had. 

"Ow!" Gwen exclaims in pain. She glares at him. "You just ripped my ponytail off my head!" Ray glares at her in response. A shocked expression forms on Gwen's face. "You're..." She starts to back away, raising a hand in front of her for defense. "You're not in love with me anymore." Ray nodded, throwing the hair extension on the couch.

Henry, Juniper, and Jasper stand up from hiding behind the couch. "Yeah." Henry speaks up. "He's not."

Charlotte and Schwoz get out from their hiding places. Charlotte crosses her arms, smirking at Gwen. "Sorry, Gwen."

"How ya like dem muffins?" Jasper questioned dramatically, causing his friends to look at him weirdly. 

"And now, Gwen, I'd be honored to escort you to prison." Ray said to Gwen. Gwen quickly pulled out her phone out of her purse she had and everyone got into defense mode.

"Look out!" Charlotte exclaimed.

Jasper points at Gwen. "She's got a phone!"

Ray rolls his eyes and shrugs. "So?"

"Who cares?" Henry asked Jasper as everyone who had raised their arms in defense put them down.

"Yeah," Juniper speaks, furrowing her eyebrows as she lowers her arms that she had put up in front of her in a fighting position. "Why are we freaking out about a phone?"

"Because if I tap right here," Gwen points at a blue button below a picture of Juniper, Henry, and Ray dressed up as their superhero identities. She begins to back up towards where the tubes are at, her finger right above the blue button. "It's gonna send a post out telling the whole world that Ray Manchester is Captain Man, Henry Hart is Kid Danger, and Juniper McCarthy is Dash."

Juniper, Henry, and Ray look at her with glares. Jasper raises his hand. "Anything about me?"

Everyone glances at him with an 'are you serious' expression. They turn their attention back to Gwen when she said, "You let me go, and I'll keep your secret. Deal?" 

Juniper, Henry, and Ray face each other with worried expressions, whispering to each other about what they should do. "Do we have a deal or don't we?" Gwen raised her voice, gaining the heroes' attention. 

"Yeah, we got a deal." Ray sighs. "For now." Gwen smirked.

"But someday you're going to jail." Henry informed her.

Juniper smirks. "Like today." She super sped over to Gwen, grabbing the phone from Gwen's hand and speeds back over to Henry and Ray. She looks at Gwen with a smirk as she throws the phone on the ground and steps on it, breaking it into pieces. "Oops." She pretended to sound apologetic even though she wasn't apologetic about it. 

"Dang it!" Gwen shouted angrily when she saw that she had cuffs on her hands. 

Ray glances at Juniper with confusion. "When did you put the cuffs on her?"

"While I was running." Juniper grins. She shrugs. "I knew we had handcuffs here and figured it wouldn't hurt to handcuff her just in case so she couldn't try anything else. So I grabbed those cuffs and cuffed her while I was running. Since I run so fast you guys couldn't see it."

Ray looks impressed and smiles. "Good job, Juni." Juniper smiles proudly in response. He looks at Gwen with a glare. "Now I guess it's time for me to escort you to prison." After he blew a bubble and got changed to Captain Man he took Gwen to prison. 

"Wow." Charlotte scoffs, shaking her head. "This whole thing was insane."

"Yeah, no kidding." Henry agreed.

"Well, at least we all learned something valuable." Schwoz chimed in.

Juniper exchange a confused look with her friends before they all look back at him. "What'd we learn?" Jasper questioned.

Juniper raises her eyebrows. "Never marry someone you only known for three hours?" 

Schwoz nods. "That and we all learned that no matter how strong love is..." He smiles. "Anger is stronger." Everyone chimed in with their words of agreement.

"That's a good point." Henry nodded.

"Okay," Juniper slowly nods as she thinks about that. "That's kinda true...I guess."

"Yeah." Charlotte said and Jasper pointed at Schwoz in a sign of agreement.

A/N since juniper has super speed i changed up the ending where gwen actually goes to prison since juniper was fast enough to hand cuff her & get the phone from her in time & i kind of liked how i made it ended :)
