This is my first fan fiction ever. Please bear with it. I wrote during my rotten physics class, so it's probably bad. Oh well. Tears In Heaven Category: MV, Angst Rating:G Disclaimer: Don't own Jonny Quest of any of the JQ characters. I also don't own the song "Tears In Heaven". That belongs to the wonderful artist Eric Clapton. Here we go . . . . Jonny sat staring out his window. It was a dark night, but the stars glittered like dimonds on black velvet. Across the hall, Jessie Bannon slept soundly. The room next door was quiet, as Hadji was asleep as well. Dr. Quest and Race were at a convention and the Quest kids were told is was important for the doctor to attend. Jonny figured his father couldn't stay in the country. Because that day was the aniversery(sp?) of his mother's death. Wiping tears from his azure eyes, he buried his head underneath his pillow. As he drifted off into sleep, he caught the beginning to the words of a song on his radio. And he began to dream: Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven (Jonny looks up and sees Rachel Quest standing off in the distance) Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven (Jonny edges closer to get a good look at her) I must be strong, and carry on (Jonny and Dr. Quest continuing on after Rachel's death) Cause I know, I don't belong Here in heaven (He sees all the mistakes he's done in the past, then looks sadly at his mother) Would you hold my hand (Flashback: Little Jonny holding his mothers hand) If I saw you in heaven Would you help me stand (Baby Jonny learning to stand, leaning on his parents knees) If I saw you in heaven I'll find my way, through night and day (The Quest team on on of their adventures, hiking morning to night in the jungle) Cause I know, I just can't stay Here in heaven (Walking toward Rachel, then looking back at the team and his father) Time can bring you down Time can bend your knees (Jonny kneeling on the ground after the funeral) Time can break your heart (His heart breaking at the sight of his mother) Have you begging please Begging please (Begging to be able to stay with his mother. Rachel camly tells him no) (instrumental) Jonny woke up with a start. Glancing around his darkened room, he caught sight of a picture of Rachel. Taking it from his night stand, he tucked it underneath the blanket and drifted back into sleep. Beyond the door There's peace I'm sure (Telling his mother, everything will be alright, he'll be happy if he can stay) And I know there'll be no more . . . Tears in heaven (No more sadness) Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven (Jonny looks up and sees his mother) Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven (Edging closer, wondering if she's the same as before) I must be strong, and carry on (Looks back down on earth and remembers his father, Race, Jessie and Hadji. Rachel tells him they need him.) Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven (Realizes he needs to be on earth to watch out for his family) Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven BRINGGGGGGGGG! Shooting up in bed, Jonny opened his eyes and stared back out the window. It was morning and the sun was shining anoyingly into his window. He heard laughter and looked up to see Jessie standing in the doorway laughing, with Hadji simply shaking his head. "Jonny, you look terrified!" Jessie giggled. Jonny was ready with a snide comment, then thought better of it. His mother made him feel the team needed him. And know matter how painstaking it was living with all these people, heaven could wait. "Ya better watch out, Jess," Jonny warned, taking the cup of stale water of his nightstand. Jessie stopped laughing and dashed out of the room, Jonny trailing. Up in heaven: Rachel smiled down at her son as he tried to soak his red headed friend. She knew how desperatly he wanted to be with her. But at that moment, he had learned his job was with the team. Turning around, Rachel left the scene. Her son was going to be alright. FINIS Well, that was that. Hope you like it. If not, I'll stop the fanfic bit for a while. Until I get some better ides. Dang physics class.
