Mother Like Daughter

Chapter 1

So this is actually a school assignment of mine and because of the assignment I am now addicted to . I hope you all enjoy it.

I do not own the series 1800-Where-Are-You and the characters Jess Wilkins, Rob Wilkins and Mr Goodhart they are entirely the work of Meg Cabot.

Hi, my name is Scarlett Wilkins. This is my first time writing a statement. My Mother told me not to expect any doughnuts or anything like that. She should know, seeing how she has had plenty of experience writing statements for the FBI. By now you may be a little confused, but trust me it will be explained later. Anyway I am not entirely sure how to write a statement so I am just going to start from the beginning.

As I have already stated my name is Scarlett Wilkins. I am 16 years old. I can understand if most of you don't know who I am, but you probably know my Mother. You see almost everyone in our tiny town, and possibly the world, knows of my Mother. Her name is Jessica Wilkins, though you would most likely know her as Jessica Mastriani or even "Lightning Girl".

When she was in high school, about the same age as I am now, she was struck by lightning. It happened after school when my Aunt Ruth, my Mother's best friend, decided that they would walk home after school, despite living several miles away. They had gotten as far as the football field when a hailstorm started. This is common in Hooserville, Southern Indiana which is practically in the middle of Tornado Alley. Seeing as hailstones hurt like hell, they ran for the only cover close by, which were the metal bleachers, being in a thunderstorm it wasn't really the smartest thing to do. Unfortunately for Mum, while she was leaning against one of the metal legs of the bleachers, it was struck by lightning.

This is how she gained her powers. As my Mother tragically, so she says, discovered her powers to find missing children the FBI began to keep a close eye on her. Mum had many adventures and nearly disasters, in her late teens and early twenties. This is how my Mother and Father met. My Mum would tell me and my little sister, Isabella, about the times where she had gotten herself into sticky situations and had to rely on our Father, Rob Wilkins, to help get her out.

When my Mum was 22 she discovered that she no longer had her powers. This is also about the time that my Mother discovered she was pregnant with me. On the 5th of June, 1995 my parents gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Scarlett Hallie Wilkins. Six years later my sister, Isabella Loretta Wilkins, came along on the 11th of June 2001.
