Hey all, I was sitting in a boring old French lesson, when suddenly I was struck with an awesome idea. I'd always wanted to use the name Topaz for a fierce and cocky frog, a friend of Jasmine. And before I knew it, Topaz became a very close relation to someone you know. Complications ensue.
BTW, this story is from the p.o.v. of Jasmine. Jasmine is awesome.
I had no idea that a visit to the sweet shop would be so eventful.
I was bored and hungry and the mayhem of the Muppet Theatre was getting me down.
So I asked my dad for some money and headed down the road.
My name's Jasmine, by the way, and I'm the youngest child of Kermit the Frog.
Once I was inside the shop, I pondered about, searching for something. It was a huge place; I snuck into an intimate part of the shop, where the shopkeeper couldn't see me. There was another young frog there, dark green in colour with a scar under one eye. He looked about my age. I didn't take much notice of him at first, but when I glanced over in his direction, I saw him tucking chocolate bars down his jacket sleeve.
He was a thief!
In an instant, I seized him by the neck and shoved him against the wall behind us
"What the heck are you doing?!" The boy demanded. He had a thick Russian accent.
"Shh!" I insisted in a whisper. "Now put it back."
"Put what back?" he asked in fake innocence.
"Don't give me that! Now if you give me the chocolate back, I won't say a word, but if you don't…things might get messy."
"Alright."
He flicked his sleeve and the chocolate came shooting out. I just about managed to grab it.
"Who are you anyway? A child spy? A police officer?" he asked.
"No, I'm just a kid looking out for trouble-makers like you." I announced. "The name's Jasmine."
"Topaz," the boy said. He looked around. "Let's get out of here. Don't worry, I won't nick anything else."
So I had become friends with a thief. Would he lead me astray? I'd like to see him try!
I was the toughest girl I knew, and if he tried to get me to do anything morally wrong, I'd give him a great kick.
I was still wary, but I felt like I trusted Topaz, he seemed alright, if a little self-confident.
