A "Jem: Original Flavor" Fan-Fiction

Part 1 – "The Meeting"

By Dr. Thinker

Rio looked around—they were many people in the know that Jerrica Benton is Jem. He knows it from a certain point. He was going to explain it as soon as Jerrica finishes recording the events of the past few months. After the mess in Greece, Jerrica had been using Synergy a lot more.

Accord from him was Christy Raymond, Eric's older sister, and Starlight Music's lawyer. She took a long vacation from Starlight Music to prevent working for her snake of a brother. She getting some information on all the dirty deeds Eric had done from losing Starlight Music to Jerrica "Jem" Benton to the present from Akkio "Techrat" Leith, who is a CIA assigned to protect Jerrica Benton's "Jem" identity from anyone—even Eric Raymond. He known one of the Holograms was his daughter, Aja Leith. Aja Leith was talking to Kimber Benton on the guest list for her marriage party to Stormer—err—Snow's brother, Craig Phillip. Speaking of the ex-Misfits, she was with Carmen "Raya" Alsono and Shana Elmsford, enjoying herself.

Jerrica walked in. She touched her red star-shape earrings and said, "Showtime, Synergy."

Raya asked, "Where's Gram?"

Rio stood up, touched a golden wristwatch on his left hand and said, "Play It, Synergy."—and was cover with the illusion. Gram said, "Until know only Jem and I know I was Gram. If she can trust you with her Jem illusions I can trust you with my

Gram illusion."

Jem said, "Some of the events is go back pretty far in my career—but I was able to make sure Synergy was able to play them. We will be seeing the events of the past from Synergy's holograms."

Past

Christy replied, "I can't help you, Jem. I took a long vacation from Starlight Music to avoid working for my twin brother."

Jem said, "Show's over, Synergy."

Christy remarked, "Jerrica? Doing a little rock and roll version of Superman?"

Jerrica replied, "You could say it—but I using Jem as a way to get Eric's half of Starlight Music. I know people would talk if Jerrica become a singer—and Eric could use a conflict of interest on me. Pretending to be pink-hair Jem allows me to avoid Eric as well as me carefully enough to vow unmasking in front of him. Starlight House recently burned down—and I need to borrow a phone so I can find a place to part the girls until we win Howard's mansion."

Christy remarked, "Be my guest."

-Meeting-

Christy added, "It turned out the only place that would expect the girls was a small apartment complex in Florida. Jerrica wanted to keep the girls in California area of the United States of America. So, as she decide after talking to me—so returned—to see the Starlight Girls awaking from their naps."

Kimber replied, "This explaining why Jerrica wanted to perform at Howard Sands's mansion. If they were a government free spot for our girls in California, we would have not done that performance."

Jem remarked, "I hated using Jem in a rotten way—but sometimes the fate hands you a bad hand of its cards—and you have to take or forget them."

-Past-

The yacht was the calm before a storm. Rio was feeling sick to his stomach. Rio was thinking, "Why can't Jerrica be here—instead Jem. I just hope that she doesn't ask me a hard question—I not going to like the out-come not matter on you slice it—so y not to lie. I know my family has a habit of lying to hire question if you only know a person for a few hours or days."

Jem walked in—dressed in a nice purple and pink dress with purple bow in hair and purple necklaces handing from her neck. Jem asked, "Rio, do you like me?"

Rio said, "Like you, I hardly know you—and you won't tell me your identity!"

Jem remarked, "Maybe I should tell you…my identity is…."

Soon, the storm hit the yacht in the form of the early Misfits: Stormer, Roxy and Pizzazz.

-Meeting-

Gram remarked, "After that indecent, I assumed that you were Jem, Jerrica. Thought I did not know about Synergy at that point—I assumed that you were using a pink wig and make-up. And I know if I accuse you of lying, Jerrica, it would bring out your temper."

Jem replied, "I know."

Gram replied, "I played dumb. Should have done that—but I know Eric was serious if he send someone to burn down Starlight House."

Past

If Rio were not playing dumb for Jerrica's safely, he would have bruise up Eric Raymond to using money against Jerrica's "Jem" identity. He was heading to Center Park to ask a question to Jerrica—and he thinks he knows what Jerrica would do. Take out a pink wig and put some make up, that what he would do if he were Jerrica "Jem" Benton.

Rio asked, "Is Jerrica you?"

Jerrica turned her head and Rio saw her touch her red star-shape earrings and remarked, "Showtime, Synergy."

A mystery magically illusion of Jem appeared near-by forcing people to change after it. Rio turned out—but he has one question on her mind, "Who is Synergy."

-The Meeting-

Gram said, "That point, I have feeling Synergy was helping her—but I was thinking more of Merlin's daughter then Emmett's technology. I did not know what Synergy until a few days after that ski race between the Holograms and the Misfits

The Past

Rio was vacuuming the meeting room. This meeting room is Holograms' meeting room—where they talk music with Jem. He never been in his room other to clean it-and the Holograms were out on business when that happened.. He heard Jerrica sneeze—and appear from a magic wall in the den. He turned—to act dumb for her secret—he will not expose her Jem to anyone—even himself. He heard Jerrica's sneeze again—by the sound, Jerrica left the meeting room via its door—must be heading to her bedroom.


Rio enter the magic wall and discover a black computer with a green monitor—like someone broken a lot of pianos in creating it. A purple-haired and purple-skinned woman's face appeared.

Rio remarked, "Are you, Synergy?"

Synergy answered, "I am. You must be Rio, Jerrica Benton's boyfriend and road manager."

Rio asked, "I know she's Jem. I know accuse Jerrica of lying, I may blow any changes to getting in her good side for a long time. What would happen if Jerrica told me her identity?"

Rio watched as the Jerrica illusion reveal her Jem identity to the Rio's illusion—the hugging and kissing. "Stop it. This is not good for Jem's protection—if we kiss more then we do now—Misfits might get wise and tell Eric Raymond. Synergy, if Jerrica attempts to use you to test out a illusion of Rio that she's Jem. Make the illusion of Rio get angry at Jem for lying to her."

Synergy said, "I was program to protect Jerrica Benton, so I will modified my program to expect information and ideas from you."

Rio said, "Thank you, Synergy."

Synergy replied, "Not a problem. It's going to hurt her more then it's going to hurt me."

-The Meeting-

Jem yelled, "SYNERGY!"

Synergy replied, "I was in a middle of an update when Rio surprised me. Emmett programmed me to show myself to Rio. In fact, Jem and Gram were the vision Emmett saw that make him built me in the first place."

Kimber asked, "Did he know who's going to become Jem and Gram?"

Synergy replied, "Yes."

Gram retorted, "I don't rather to be awe or shock by Emmett's vision."

Jem joked, "Join the club."

-Past-

Raya was looking thought a large desk with a good-size mirror in Synergy's room. Synergy, she was looking for ball that rolled into the meeting room early that day. She discovered some metal items more suitable for a car. The car items look to initial periods and the letter B in gray metal. She was still staring car items at the time—she was still getting over the events of the pervious days—winning her spot on the Holograms as their new drummer—as Jerrica enter.

Jerrica saw Raya looking over the gray metal pieces from the Rockin' Roadster., "I see that you discover what Aja took off the Rockin' Roadster."

Raya replied, "Why?"

Jerrica replied, "I recall it. When Synergy revealed herself—I come up with a idea to make Jem a rock start—I was going to use Kimber Benton as the signer, Jem.—but she remarked to me that Jacqui and Emmett claim to I would be a great singer and she was worry that her temper would give her away faster. My full name is Jerrica Estienne Maria Benton. As Kimber worked on our first songs, Aja removed the B and periods from the gray metal on top of the first Rockin' Roadster. After she done it—we planned Jem's looks and her attitude—as well as practice 'Only the Beginning.' Jem worked like charm—Eric was sweating bullets when Jem first appeared. He attempted to be on the ball—but he was not. The Misfits helped us get more press then I wanted—but you can't keep the press quiet for long."

Raya said, "Sorry, I been looking a ball that roll in her early today. I thought some might put in the junk drawer.

Synergy said, "The ball is behind me, Raya. It's right next to my plug."

Raya and Jerrica laugh—as Raya got the ball from behind Synergy, Raya said, "I return to ball to the rec. room."

Jerrica said, "Put in the junk draw for right now. Today is the day of the Vience's boardwalk musical party. You hadn't done much interviewing even after winning the talent search."

Raya said, "Don't remind me."

-Meeting-

Aja said, "If someone saw Jem driving a car with initials reading 'J.E.M.'—they would have guessed that J stands for Jerrica and B for Benton—if they don't know E or M stand for. With out the periods and the B---I would confuse a normal person."

Gram remarked, "Worked well—I recalled a poll from after Starbright hit the theaters, that ask music fans which might be Jem: human, ghost, alien or robot. Human was the top choice—97 percent. Robot, alien and ghost tied with 1 percent each on the poll."

Synergy joked, "The second and last choices could be considered Jem in a way."

Jem joked back, "You got a point there, Synergy. "

-Past-

Still dress in her witch costume, Jem said," Synergy, a little Halloween help."

Three illusions of ghosts appear—and a man dress like a blue ghost with only a hole for one eye remarked, "This place is haunted. I'm out of here!"

-Meeting-

Akkio spoke, "That's was my first close meeting with Synergy's output. I am a CIA agent hired by me to drive Eric into giving himself up. Under my nickname of Techrat,

I was able to get hire by Eric as "Secret Department"—thought I pretended to evil to keep my government job secret from Eric. The reason for easy breakable objects, I didn't want to harm by daughter— at this point—I only know one thing, she was adult and part of the Holograms."

-Past-

The Pentagon staff and the CIA staff was taking Synergy apart—this time under the command of President Ronald Wilson Reagan and under the watchful eye of Jerrica Benton. Jem had done her command performance for the President Regan—and she was return home.

A CIA staff member getting taking pictures of the idea, he remarked, "I just talking picture for far future—when we are both forgotten by time."

Jerrica stated, "I know—but taking picture reminds me of private eye hired by Eric Raymond—and he stopped to film developed before stopping at the government office to check who own "Starlight Drive-In." He had not done much recently—and since the bait call for us and the call to the Pentagon did really tell us who he was, I can't blame Raymond for this mess—just my itch to perform for the icon of freedom for many Americans."

-The Meeting-

Akkio said, "This was the time I was close to Synergy. I was the CIA agent you spot taking picture. Eric called me to tell to lure you away and call the Pentagon to get your machine with out giving myself away--unaware that CIA had knowledge of you being Jem form my reports. This got a change for me to give this out from Eric's nose."

Akkio took out a picture—and handled to Jem: it was the private eye's picture of Synergy. The last time she saw it Eric was putting in a bag and she got slap for remarking about it—but Rio punched Eric back.

Aja took it, and left the room. "I put inside Synergy."

Synergy remarked, "Thanks, Aja."

Snow remarked, "Eric forgotten all about that picture—and he was starting to really annoy at the Misfits. It was fated we going to have to deal with Eric buying Misfit Music soon enough—and he did. He hired the Stingers as well."

Jerrica remarked, "If I give Riot half the company-he would have give Eric his half of the company to control Eric—I would be back to square one. I give the money that Eric—so I have to give up on signing the Stingers to Starlight Music.."

Gram sighed, "I wasn't too sure that postcard Riot fake was real—so I have her scan it---and it turned out that Synergy was 99 sure that it was real."

Synergy remarked, "We all got fowled up thanks to Riot's counterfeit Jem postcard."

Aja stated, "That indecent prove that Stingers' won't be stop being thorns in our signs."

Gram replied, "It was hard to kept Jem's identity secret when Riot was after Jem as a prize wife and Minx trying to make her my girlfriend. That "postcard" mess plus what happen in Greece with the Stingers revealed that I need to stop playing dumb need to be stopped—and soon the better. It was a few days after Bee Nee's good-bye party.

-Past-

Rio walked in Synergy's hidden room. Synergy was looking at him. Synergy asked, "Something wrong, Rio?"

Rio remarked, "You could say that, Synergy. Since the yacht identity I know that Jerrica is Jem—but with 2/3 of the Stingers after me and Jerrica—I need a way to kept Jerrica safe with out revealing my identity to her."

Synergy remarked, "Well, Jerrica had a plan to use Kimber as Jem. Nevertheless, Kimber turned her down for one reason—Kimber has a temper that might reveal her real identity to the press—and second, Kimber reminded that Jerrica she had better singing voice then Kimber's signing voice—but Kimber offered her help with the keyboard and songwriter."

Rio replied, "Kimber's been going to a studio—I attempted to follow her—but she lost me near then Animation Alleyways. Wait a minute—Animation Alleyways is where the Hollywood studios create cartoons are located. One of the studios must have gotten a chance to do 'Jem' cartoon." She needs a new songwriter is Kimber is going to be voice on the 'Jem' cartoon."

Rio replied, "I been know to write songs since I was 5 years old. Now, I need an identity—someone. I have an idea. I know holograms are your output. I have name, Gram. He will be a boyfriend/songwriter for Jem. "

Synergy said, "Well, since you working out a plan that re. I did not tell Jerrica and the girls about the following: Emmett Benton left you his golden watch which contained one of mini-hologram projectors."

Rio said, "I need lines different from my girlfriend's lines, "Showtime, Synergy" and "Show over, Synergy. I know—I use "Play Time, Synergy" and "Rest, Synergy" to be my codeword for the Gram. 'Play Time, Synergy' would be my version of "Showtime, Synergy'….

Synergy finished, "…and 'Rest, Synergy' is equal to Jem's "Show over, Synergy."

Rio nodded.

Rio picked orange hair for Gram's hairstyle. For Gram's common outfit: he picked a yellow T-shirt with "Jem and the Hologram" on it, blue jeans, and sneakers. Slipping the golden watch on his left wrist, he said, "Let's give it a try. Play Time, Synergy."

Rio felt braver then he as Gram as himself. "Nice work! Rest, Synergy."—and the Gram illusion disappeared.

-The Meeting-

Kimber said, "Oh, man. You almost got me before I reveal why I was handing around the Animation Alleyways."

Jem remarked, "Thought it happens a few days later—but they had been some events considering our original rivals—the Misfits—between those days. Snow has input that events that lead her leaving the Misfits for the Holograms."
