In their bedroom, Jayson and Mavis are asleep in bed. He's asleep behind her, gently spooning her from behind. She's asleep in front of him.

Nightmare

Mavis is falling through the air with a worried expression on her face inside of a tower with smoke, flames and bricks around her.

"Jayson?" Mavis said.

Reality

Jayson wakes up and looks up at the ceiling. He sits up straight with the bedcover covering the lower half of his body and looks at his sleeping girlfriend, Mavis, laying next to him.

Jayson ponders to himself as he just sits there. He wonders about his nightmare. Should he be worried about Mavis's possible downfall? Or was his nightmare supposed to scare him?

He didn't know.

         Mavis stirs awake and looks at Jayson. "Jay? Are you okay?"

          "Yeah, I'm fine." Jayson reassured her and gently lays back down on the bed. "Sorry I woke you up."

          "It's okay." Mavis said to him.

Jayson gently spoons her from behind, gently cuddling her and pecks a kiss on her cheek. And they go back to sleep.

Jayson is sitting at his desk, on his computer, looking at his pictures on his USB drive.

A Redheaded young woman slowly walks up to Jayson.

        "Hi there." She said.

       Jayson looks up at the Redheaded young woman. "Hi."

        "I'm Pepper. Pepper Bloom. I'm a photographer. I was wondering if we could work together?" Pepper asked. "Or do you prefer to work by yourself?"

     "I, uh, I work by myself, but I would like to help you with your photo portfolio." Jayson said and gets up to his feet and gently leans against his desk. "Are you new here at Silvertroplis Newspaper Inc?"

          "I am, yeah." Pepper said with a small smile. "And you must be Jayson Reynolds. The photographer." Pepper said.

         "Yep, that's me." Jayson said.

And then, Mr. Cheetam slowly walks up to Jayson and Pepper.

          "Mr. Reynolds? Miss. Bloom. No time to chitchat, get to work. Chop-chop." said Mr. Cheetam. "And by the way, Pepper Bloom, she's a good photographer, just like you."

           "Oh, really?" Jayson said.

"Yeah, really. So, don't underestimate me." Pepper said to him.

        "I'll try not to." Jayson said. "I have my own photo portfolio, but if you need any help, you can ask me."

       "Sure. Nice to have met you, Jayson." Pepper said and walks away.

And Jayson sits back down in his chair at his desk.

       "Mr. Reynolds? I'm gonna need you to take a few pictures of this evening's formal gala." Mr. Cheetam said to him.

        "Yes, sir, Mr. Cheetam." Jayson said to him.

SILVERTROPLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT

That afternoon, Sheriff Susan Reynolds is sitting on the couch next to Jayson, who brought some takeout lunch; four single cheeseburgers and two milkshakes from The Golden Griddle.

      "You didn't have to bring lunch, Jay." Sheriff Susan said to her son, taking another bite out of her paper-wrapped cheeseburger.

         "I wanted to, Mom." Jayson said. "And Mr. Cheetam asked me to take a few pictures of the formal gala at the banquet hall this evening."

        "Okay." Sheriff Susan Reynolds said to him.

Jayson and Sheriff Susan Reynolds exchange small smiles at each other and continues eating their food.

      Jayson looks at Pepper. "Hi, Pepper."

      Pepper sits down at the table across from Jayson. "Will you be there at the evening's formal gala?"

      "Yeah, I'll be there. I'm taking pictures for the Silvertroplis Newspaper. Jayson replied. "Are you gonna be there?"

          "Yeah, I'll be there with my parents. They have a company here, Bloom Industries." Pepper said.

          "Didn't know that. How's your photo portfolio coming along?" Jayson asked.

          "It's pretty great so far." Pepper replied. "Well then, I'll leave you be. I'll see you later at the banquet."

      "Hey, Jay." Mavis greeted him.

       Jayson turns around to look at his girlfriend, Mavis, and small smiles at her. "Hey, Mavis."

And Jayson takes a picture of her.

        "I thought you were taking pictures for Mr. Cheetam?" Mavis asked.

        "I am, your picture is personal." Jayson said.

Jayson and Mavis exchange small smiles at each other.

       "I'm Mavis. Mavis Haddock." Mavis introduced herself to Pepper.

Mavis and Pepper gently shakes each other's hands.

        "Enjoy the rest of the formal party you guys." Pepper said and walks away.

      "May I have a dance?" Jayson asked Mavis, offering her his hand.

      "Sure." Mavis said, gently takes his hand.

Jayson and Mavis gently holds each other's hands as they slowly walks to the middle of the floor, and slow-dances together with others.

        "And you look handsome." Mavis complimented him with a small smile.

Jayson and Mavis exchange small smiles at each other.

        "So, maybe, after this formal party, we can go on a dinner date or something?" Jayson asked.

           "Sure, I'll love to." Mavis said with a small smile. And then, she becomes a bit worried. "Are you sure you're okay?"

        "Yeah, I'm fine." Jayson reassured her. "Why?"

          "You woke up at 6:00 AM in the morning, so, what is it, Jay?" Mavis asked.

            "Mavis?" Jayson said.

And suddenly, Four ski-masked gunmen scurries inside, guns blazing in the air, causing everyone to duck down on the floor.

         "Alright, everyone. Do what we say, nobody gets hurt and the party can resume." Ski-masked gunman 1 told everyone with his gun in hand.

Jayson and Mavis exchange looks at each other and he disappears into the crowd.

     "Alright, men, hand over your wallets, and ladies, hand over your jewelry." Ski-masked gunman 2 asked.

        "Don't do anything stupid either?!" Ski-masked gunman 3 exclaimed everyone.

        "We're not messing around?!" Ski-masked gunman 4 exclaimed.

The men does as they are told handing over their wallets and putting them in a large burlap sack bag. And the women takes off their bracelets and necklaces putting them in the burlap sack bag.

Suddenly, Super Knight drops down from the glass ceiling and lands on the floor in a crouch.

The four ski-masked gunmen turns their attention on Super Knight as he fights with each of them, hand-to-hand combat.

Super Knight disarms ski-masked gunman 1 and punches him in his face, knocking him out unconscious.

Super Knight then, kicks Ski-masked gunman 2 in his face, and uses his blue electricity bolt to blast away Ski-masked gunman 3.

Ski-masked gunman 4 tries to shoot Super Knight, but Super Knight blocks it and disarms ski-masked gunman 4 and does an upper cut to him, knocking out ski-masked gunman 4 onto the floor.

Super Knight looks around at everyone.

       "Is everyone alright?" Super Knight asked in his voice modulator.

         "We're alright, Super Knight. Thank you." Mayor Michelle Novak thanked him with a small smile.

     Super Knight gently hands her back the burlap sack bag. "Pass it back to everyone.

        "Will do." Mayor Novak said with a nod.

And Super Knight flies upwards and out of the glass ceiling.

Afterwards, the formal party had finished. Jayson is sitting outside on a bench, having morphed back into his suit.

Mavis slowly walks up to him and sits down next to him on the bench.

       "Is everyone okay?" Jayson asked.

         "Everyone's fine, thanks to Super Knight." Mavis said with a small smile, referring to him. "And I was just pondering, what happens to your costume suit?"

           "It goes back onto my mannequin at home." Jayson said to her.

           "I hope you're being careful, Jay." Mavis said to him.

            "I am." Jayson said.

Jayson and Mavis exchange small smiles at each other. And then, Frankie Novak slowly walks up to them.

        "Hey, you guys." Frankie greeted them.

         "Hey, Frankie." Mavis greeted him back with a small smile.

          "What happened to the ski-masked guys?" Jayson asked.

          "Your mom and her colleague officers apprehended them and took them to the jail." Frankie told him. "What a night."

         "Yeah, it was." Jayson said.

JAVA BEAN CAFÉ

Later that night, Jayson and Mavis had regrouped with each other. At the jukebox, he presses a button and plays a soothing instrumental music.

   Jayson looks at Mavis with a small smile. "We didn't get to finish our dance."

Mavis small smiles at him. They gently holds each other's hands and he gently pulls her close to him. He gently wraps his arm around her waist. She gently puts her hand on his left shoulder and they gently holds each other's hands.

       "Do you remember our middle school dance and high school prom?" Jayson asked. "I was nervous about asking you."

        "Yeah, but once you got through your nervousness, you asked me, and I said "Yes" to both the middle school dance and the high school prom." Mavis said.

Jayson gently twirls her around and gently pulls her close to him with them both chuckling.

But Mavis can tell that something is bothering Jayson.

           "Jayson? What's wrong?" Mavis asked, concerned. "Somehow, I just can't shake this feeling that something's bothering you."

         "I don't want to burden you with whatever is bothering me." Jayson said to her.

         "Jay? That's the point of us being together, so, that you don't have to shoulder the weight. Whatever it is, we can talk about it." Mavis said.

        "I had a nightmare." Jayson told her.

       "A nightmare about what?" Mavis asked.

          "About you." Jayson told her, which shocks her. "Something happened. It was a tower or a building, I don't know. But something happened where there was smoke, bricks and flames, and you were falling through it."

         "That sounds scary." Mavis said.

        "I know, but maybe, it was nothing." Jayson said.

         "Yeah, but thanks for telling me." Mavis said with a small smile.

          "You're welcome." Jayson said.

Jayson and Mavis proceeds dancing with each other in the middle of the floor. He gently twirls her around and gently pulls her close to him, playfully chuckling with each other.
