Hey readers! (I forgot to put this in when uploading the chapter at first.) Again, this is a challenge by t-rex989, and they PM'ed me about this in June, but at the time I was still working on my other Phanfic A New One Rises. Since I finished that story, I decided to get this out of the way before I get to any other projects. Please read the outro for more info, and enjoy the first chapter of The Test of Time! (Edit: This is supposed recount the events of TUE from Jazz's perspective.)

Chapter 1

I woke up at 6:30 to the sound of my alarm clock screaming at me. Yawning widely, I reached over clumsily and felt for the OFF button. Finding my quarry, I slammed my hand down upon it, vanquishing my sonic foe for the time being. Forcing my eyes open, I had to blink them a few times to become used to the blinding sunlight. I reluctantly abandoned the comfort of my blanket and sheets to begin preparing for the day, for it was a big day indeed.

After giving Bearbert a quick hug, I grabbed a change of clothes and headed to the bathroom down the hall. As I set my clothes on top of the toilet, I noticed some suspicious products sitting on the edge of the tub. Sighing deeply, I began to gather the anti-ghost zit cream, shampoo and conditioner, and soap bar. When are Mom and Dad going to stop trying to test their experiments outside the lab? I wondered, knowing the answer full well. Trying to keep my spirits up, I closed the door, got the shower going, and got in.

After drying off from my shower, I got dressed and exited the bathroom with my pajamas in one arm and a dragging a brush through my hair with my other hand. After tossing my clothes into my hamper, I realized my brother hadn't gotten up yet. I knew he had stayed up late, but he had to get up and get ready for school like everyone else.

I peeked into his room and saw he had fallen asleep on top of the covers, not even bothering to change out of his clothes. I felt bad that I was about to interrupt what had probably only been a few hours of sleep, but it was for his own good. I reached for his blanket and pulled it out from under him, expecting him to topple to the floor. However, as soon as he began to fall, he floated upward and hit his head off the ceiling!

He suddenly fell to the floor and woke up slowly, rubbing his head where it made impact with the ceiling. "Ow!" he yelped, before taking notice of me. "Jazz? What are you doing in my room?"

I blinked and internally panicked for a second. I quickly gathered myself and said, "Oh, I just came in to," I realized I was still holding Danny's blanket and hid it behind my back, but he noticed my movement, and realized what had happened, or at least part of it.

"Next time you try to wake me up, could you be a bit gentler about it?"

"Uh, sure, Danny. Sorry," I replied before quickly retreating to the hallway. I watched him walk out of his room and head for the bathroom. Certain nothing else was going to happen, I went back to my room to finish bushing my hair. After that, I grabbed a black headband and slipped on my black slippers, and headed downstairs for breakfast.

I had just finished a bowl of cereal and rinsed the dishes in the sink when Danny came downstairs, his hair still damp and his shirt on backwards. "Hey, Danny -" I began.

"What?" He followed my gaze and sighed as he took off his shirt and put it back on the right way. He then proceeded to get himself some breakfast, noticing my concerned gaze on him the whole time. "Jazz, why are you watching me?" he asked, slightly irritated.

"What, I can't watch my little brother get breakfast?" I replied, before realizing just how weird that sounded. "Oh."

"Yeah," Danny said.

We sat in silence for a few minutes, the only sound being Danny slurping his cereal. After he got up and took care of his dishes, he walked into the living room to put on his shoes as the doorbell rang. While he hopped over to see who it was, I went back upstairs to grab our backpacks.

When I came back down, I noticed Sam and Tucker had arrived, and were whispering with Danny about something. As I walked up to them, they became quiet and stared at me. "Here's your backpack, Danny." I said, handing it to him. "Hi Tucker, Sam, do you guys want to ride with me to school?"

"No thanks, Jazz," Danny interjected. "We'll just walk to school like we usually do."

"Okay," I replied as he began to push the other two towards the door. "Oh, Danny there was something -" The door slammed, cutting me off. I ran out the door after them, but they were already down the street. I shrugged and decided they would find out once they reached school.

I walked down the steps and got into my car. Setting my bag down in the seat beside me, I remembered what happened this morning when I tried to wake him and wondered when I would be able to tell my brother I knew his secret. To tell him I knew he was a ghost.

Well, I hope you enjoyed that! I should have Chapter 2 up by this weekend (homework permitting). If you haven't yet, I suggest checking out my other story A New One Rises. As always, please favorite and follow to keep up with updating and stuff, and please leave a review if you liked this so far, and to suggest anything to add in the coming chapters.
