19A Change of Heart
By: ilikedan
"WHAT?" I shouted at my mommy and daddy's sudden news "Don't worry Jasmine, I'm sure you'd love a new brother or sister" My mommy said kneeling down to me "You don't know?" I pouted; if I HAD to live with this 'precious gift from above' I wanted it to be a little sister that I could play with, not some stinky boy. "We'll probably know in a few months jazzipants" My Daddy said picking me up "Don't worry, it'll be fun! I grew up with 3 brothers and 2 sisters and look how I turned out!" He said beaming brightly "Well ok I guess I could try to live with it" I said cutely "That's my girl, now go on and play outside, you've been reading way too many books young lady!" daddy said pointing outside "Now jack dear, if she wants to read I certainly don't want to discourage her" mommy said smiling at me, I through back a toothless smile before running upstairs, as soon as I was sure that they were gone I jumped on my bed and cried. "WHY, WHY, WHY!" I screamed into my pillow "WHY CAN"T I JUST BE AN ONLY CHILD!" I screamed to my ceiling, I flopped back on my bed "Please god, I really, really, REALLY want to have a little sister PLEASE I want it more then that therapy ABC's book I've wanted all year" I prayed quietly before tuning out the lights, and going to bed
1 year later
"Daddy, what's going on?" I asked, we were sitting in a hosipital hoss-a-pit-al, that's how she says hospital, what she's 2 give me a break in a waiting room, mommy got rushed off on a lay down thingy (stretcher) "It's time to meet your new sibling jazzy" daddy said walking in circles "You still don't know?" I grumbled "Well sorry sweetie, we were going to do it around Christmas, but we got into a little argument about Santa's existence and we're starting to re-open our old college interest in ghosts" daddy said smiling, I remembered their 'little' argument that woke up half the neighborhood, and also them getting lots of books on ghosts. Then a doctor type person came out with a smile on his face, he bend down to me "Hello little girl" he said kindly "My name's Jazzy" I said shyly "well Jazzy, do you and your daddy want to meet your new baby brother?" he said "OH YOU BET WE DO!" daddy said picking me off and running off to room 16. He opened the door and I saw mommy in bed with a blue blanket in her arms, and a tiny little head popping out "Oh jack, isn't he beautiful?" mom asked handing my 'brother' to dad "Oh he's a Fenton alright!" my dad said dropping me on the couch to grab him, I frowned "Mommy how are you?" I asked cutely, I didn't want to be the unnoticed "Oh Jasmine, if you wanted to see your brother you should've just asked" mom said making dad bring him down to my level, I looked at him he had a weird round face, tiny arms that kept reaching for invisible things, and tiny eyes tightly shut and looking like they would never open, I frowned again this is the thing mommy and daddy were so excited about? What's he have that I don't? I could easily lay on the floor and cry and wiggle my arms. "So Maddie what are you gonna name the little scamp?" daddy asked cooing the 'little scamp' "I don't know, the second jasmine was born she opened her beautiful turquoise eyes and knew she was a Jasmine Alexandra Fenton, I can always tell by the eyes the name it needs" she said taking him away from daddy I smiled a toothless smile shaking my pretty red hair with my prettiful blue head band, then I heard another cry from the baby and I heard mommy gasp " oh my gosh jack, look at his eyes! What a beautiful shade a shy blue they are, their so innocent and loving" mommy said hugging him, all pride was instantly drained, daddy ran over to see him knocking me down in the process "My good lord, Maddie their beautiful!" daddy said beaming "Hi little Mr. Fenton, I'm your mom and this is your dad and over there is your big sister, jazzy" mom said, pointing the baby at me, I stuck my tongue out at him, causing him to cry a rainful of tears "Jasmine! Come on its ok danny she didn't mean it" mom shouted at me comforting the new baby, I frowned for the gatrillionth time today, this 'Danny' and I are going to be rivals forever and ever
Later that night
I crawled in my house sometime after 15 o' clock, daddy had to drag me all across Amnity Park getting stuff for 'Danny' Daddy said that they were 'unprepared' for the 'new arrival' I collapsed on the floor, and daddy picked me up "Now jasmine, I know your tired and I know you should've been in bed hours ago, but I got a call from the hospital and your mother's ready to be picked up. Now since I know you need to sleep I want you to watch Danny for 5 minutes, don't let him touch anything or get hurt, if you do this right then I'll by you that 'Bearbert' doll you've been wanting" daddy said, I squealed happily I wanted Bearbert even MORE then I wanted that therapy ABC's, but no where near wanting Danny to be gone. "Ok daddy, I watch Dandy" I said purposely mispronouncing his name he laughed "Ok jazzy, well you and 'Dandy' have fun and remember you're his big sister take care of him and I'll be back before you say 'boo'" daddy said rushing out the door, I saw Danny in the middle of the room sitting in a half built crib, I walked over to him "Hello Danny, I'm your big sister, Jazzy. I don't like you and you're not going to be here for long. Mommy and Daddy will see what a annoying baby you are an' send you to the orphanage" I said, talking right to his face he started to cry "No, no! If Daddy sees you crying I won't get Bearbert!" I screamed then I had an idea "Rock a bye Danny, on the tree top when the wind blows-" I started singing, he immediately stopped crying and stared at me with those big blue eyes, I stopped "I won't sing no more if you keep staring at me like that" I said
Then in the corner of the room I saw a bright flash of light, and a great force struck me to the ground. Then I saw a big ghost in a purple colored dress thingy with a big clock looking staff in his hand, he had red eyes and a big scar on one of them, I quickly jumped behind Danny's crib so he wouldn't see 'I don't care if I never get Bearbert, he can hurt him but not me' he floated over to Danny "Hello Danny, I see the world's greatest hero is finally here" he said to danny, lightly touching his skin 'how does he know him? and what does he mean by hero' he laughed "Well I guess you have wait a few more years before anything like that happens, I guess everything's in order, now a young hero needs his rest" he said rubbing danny's face again "Jasmine, I know your there I won't hurt you come on out" he said, not sure of what to do I quietly crawled out "Hello jazzy, do you want to know a secret?" he said in a calm soothing voice, as if in a spell I nodded my head "Well that brother of yours up there is going to save the world someday and you'll have the pride of being his big sister, and Jasmine I know you don't really like him, I know your feeling like you've been replaced but sooner then you think his destiny will intertwine with his in a accidental experience and only then will you truly understand" he said, I smiled " but Mr. I'm never ever gonna like him he's not gonna be a hero he's gonna grow up a stinky person" I said he laughed again "things change" "CLOCKWORK!" someone shouted as another glowing vortex appeared he winced "oh crud" then a guy with a really big eyeball appeared "MY GOD CLOCKWORK! When are you going to stop messing around in time?" he shouted I yelped and ran behind this 'clockwork' "Now, now your scaring them" he said calmly "NOW YOUR INTERACTING WITH THEM? What if they say something to their parents? You of all people should know that the Fenton's are dangerous ghost hunters "Oh come on, we're talking about a 2 year old and one that's 5 hours old here, I doubt they'll remember anything by tomorrow" clockwork said, then he looked at me "Jasmine I have to go, but take care your brother and be a good girl" he said getting up and in moments they were gone. I walked up to my brother's crib, his big eyes blinking in confusion "so your gonna be a big hero? I still don't like you but clockwork say's I need's to take care of you so I will" I said reaching my arm through the bar of crib and started rubbing his cheek like clockwork did, then I stopped and lightly poked his nose, he giggled.
Then my daddy burst through the door with mommy in his arms "JACK FENTON WHAT ON EARTH POSSESSED YOU TO LEAVE 2 CHILDREN UNDER 8 HOME ALONE!" mommy shouted "Maddie look" my daddy said smiling at us my mommy turned and gasped, which soon turned into a smile "oh jasmine, you and your brother are bonding how sweet, your still not off the hook" mommy said whispering the last part. Then daddy came over and picked me up "now jazzipants, I know we were a half hour late but we ran into traffic, but also its 5:45 you need to get to bed and you can sleep in extra late tomorrow er today" he said carrying me upstairs and tucking me in my bed "And jasmine, I know having a little brother will be hard work, but it will also be fun. But I'm really proud of you jasmine so here you go pumpkin" he said handing me the fascinating piece of fabric that is Bearbert Einstein I grabbed him and hugged him tightly "thank you daddy!" I said happily "No, thank you princess you did a great job watching your brother I'm very proud of you but again it's not a ghost was going to attack you, well goodnight" he said leaving the room, my eyes widened "Ghosts, that's what they were ghosts" I whispered to myself before falling asleep.
I kept my little adventure a secret from everyone, except Danny since he already knew I thought I'd talk to him about it. And each time I saw him, throughout all the years as he grew I kept wondering to myself 'how is this little kid going to be a super hero?' and after awhile that secret became a distant memory in my subconscious, that is until that faithful night…
End Part 1
Hiya! Yes this is part one of this tale ALL in jazz's POV, there will be a least 3 maybe more, still not sure yet. But I've always wondered about what jazz was thinking when all these things were happening. Next part will hopefully be up soon.
