Jameson was sitting on the couch in the living room, reading one of his novels to pass the time while waiting for the other egos to either wake up, leave their room, or come home. He was the only one in the living room at the time. Marvin was in his room practicing his magic, Jackie was doing his morning patrol around the city, making sure that the citizens we're safe from crime. Schneep was giving Robbie his weekly physical, and his boyfriend, Anti was probably in his room browsing Tumblr, probably scolding Jack for not giving him an ego week no doubt.
The quiet ego just grinned at the thought as he closed his book, before grabbing the remote controller, turning on the T.V. finding that the old Charlie and the chocolate factory was on, causing him to grin even more. He always loved Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein, not to mention that this was also one of his favorite movies he's ever watched with the other egos on movie night.
For a while, he watched the movie, his eyes glued to the screen as he reached for his glass bottle of Coca-Cola he got from the fridge. He held the bottle in his hand, popped the lid open, and took a mouthful, gulping it down. Only to quickly pull it away sticking his tongue out with a gag, his eyebrows scrunching together as he looked at the bottle in question. He blinked in surprise, finding that it was an orange liquid in a bottle that was similarly shaped like a Coca-cola glass bottle. But he as he looked at it thoroughly he found a label behind it causing him to turn it around and read it. He read it carefully only to freeze upon what he read.
It was one of Marvin's potions that was labeled Floating Potion. On the bottom of the name, it had a description, that states whoever drinks this, will begin to float in the air. He gulped as he sat the drink down beginning to feel light-headed, but after a second that wasn't to the only thing that felt light, because sure enough, he began to elevate off of the couch sending him floating in the air like a helium balloon.
In a panic, he began grabbing his blanket, trying to find something that would pull him down but the blanket just went with him. He cowered slightly clutching the blanket tightly in his fingers as he inched closer to the ceiling, looking at the ground that was now eight or nine feet away. He thought he would just go on forever until his head hit the ceiling with a quiet thud causing his bowler hat to compact in his head covering his eyes. He let go of the blanket, letting it rest on his stomach as he took his hat off rubbing his slightly sore head. After the pain subsided, he fixed his now messed up turquoise hair, trying to calm his nerves.
After a second of his head rubbing against the ceiling, he hovered a couple of inches away from it, almost like the potion was helping him adjust to the room. However, he was still several feet away from the ground no way of getting back. He began to worry seeing that his phone was all the way on the couch, out of his reach. Jameson had no way of contacting anyone and he didn't know how long he was gonna be stuck up there.
But his worries were short-lived when Marvin walked into the living room, his masked nose in one of his books.
"Hey Jamie?" he began as he flipped through the pages. "I think I left a potion in here." he then closed the book. "It's hard to miss, it's bright orange. Have you seen-." he blinked seeing that Jamie was nowhere. "It?" the magician scanned the room in search of the muted ego. "Jamie? Where did you-?"
Jamie knocked three times on the ceiling, getting Marvin's attention, grinning nervously at his shocked expression.
Marvin walked in further, taking off his mask revealing his marked head, as he stared at the floating ego. "Jamie!? Are you okay!?"
"I am... Just a little light-headed." Jamie signed as a joke, chuckling a bit before signing again. "Forgive me old chap. I've seemed to have found your potion but drank some by accident. Now I've got myself in quite a pickle."
Marvin sighed before giving him a light chuckle. "You're alright Jamie, it's no big deal." he then walled further in circling Jamie like he was studying him. "It appears to be a floating potion. Which obviously causes you to float."
"Is there any cure for it?" Jamie asked, his eyes full of hope.
"I'm sure there is, I think I got something in my book," Marvin explained as he began to pace flipping through his book.
While he was doing that Jamie began to float through the air, heading for the entrance to the hall. He kicked his feet pressing his palms on the ceiling to keep him from moving when-.
"YOU STOLE FIZZY LIFTING DRINKS!"
Jamie jumped from the loud voice turning to the T.V. seeing Willy Wonka yelling at Charlie and his grandpa for drinking the Fizzy Lifting Drinks.
"YOU BUMPED INTO THE CEILING WHICH NOW HAS TO BE WASHED AND STERILIZED, SO, YOU GET NOTHING!" The angered Willy boomed causing Jamie to stare at the T.V. with a bored expression. Of course, it's this scene. "YOU LOSE!"
"Okay." Marvin grinned as he closed the book turning back to Jamie looking up, sitting on the couch as he spoke. "How much did you drink of it?"
Jamie thought for a moment before he signed. "A mouth full."
Marcin sighed as he sat the book on the living room table. "Then you got nothing to worry about. It should wear off right." he began as he looked at his watch. "About..."
"I HAVE HAD IT WITH THAT IRISH BASTARD!" Anti's voice boomed as he walked into the living room not noticing Jamie above him. "Marv have you seen Jamie, I need someone to vent to!"
"Now." Marvin grinned as he pointed to the ceiling.
Anti blinked before hearing a quiet gasp looking up to see Jamie falling from the ceiling. In a panic, he held out his arms catching his boyfriend in his arms, holding him bridle style. He watched as Jamie blinked, before giving him a grin. Anti lifted his head his mouth open as he stared at Marvin, blinking a couple of times before he spoke. "What just happened?"
Marvin chuckled as he put his mask back on, hiding his scars as he got up from the couch. "I left my floating potion in here by accident, and Jamie drank it, mistaking it as his coke."
The glitch grinned letting out a small giggle as he turned to Jamie. "Well, I always knew you were a lightweight." he joked causing Jamie to grin.
"He wasn't drinking alcohol Anti." Marvin correct.
"Don't ruin my joke whiskers," Anti mumbled boredly, looking at the smiling magician.
"Thanks for catching me." he signed before looking at the T.V. "Would you like to hang out and watch Charlie and the chocolate factory? It's on again. While we do that you can vent if you'd like. The whole ego week thing might be stressful and you'll need to take it out on something."
Anti just shrugs as he holds Jamie tighter. "I'd prefer to just watch the movie with Ya, my puppet." Anti began he took Jamie's bowler hat from his lap, placing it on his head. "This whole situation has put me in a good mood." He smiled as the silent ego grinned, resting his head on his shoulder. He then walked toward the couch looking at Marvin as he sat down with Jamie in his lap. "You want to watch too Marv?"
"Wouldn't miss my favorite movie." Marvin grinned as he picked up the orange bottle. "Just let me teleport this back in my room, where it's safe and sound." He then snapped his fingers watching as the bottle disappeared into a cloud of green smoke. "There, now let's sterilize the ceiling." The magician joked receiving a small giggle from Anti and a silent chuckle from Jamie as they sat on the couch, watching the beginning credits on the same movie.
