POV: Jenny
Okay… Now what's the best way to get those two clueless lovebirds together? Jenny thought to herself. Well, I can- no… How about I - no. I could-Just then I bumped into uncle, jerking her out of her thoughts. " Sorry," the auburn haired girl apologized.
"It's perfectly alright Jenny."
"Jenn, please."
"Ah, I forgot. So Jenn, do you know where Jeremy and Aelita are? Lunch is almost ready," Mr. Belpois said.
"I'm pretty sure they're in Jeremy's room," Jenny answered.
"Would you mind telling them that lunch should be ready in 10 minutes?"
"I wouldn't mind at all," she said sweetly, giving an adorable smile.
"Thank you," he said, walking off.
Jenny turned in the direction of Jeremy's room, trying to think of the perfect way to get those two together. or at least one step closer.
So, let's see, I could use the old- no , um, well, how about- I got it! I thought suddenly. Suddenly Jenny grinned ear to ear.
Let's have some fun, she thought, rubbing her hands together.
"Your cousin is very nice Jeremy," Aelita said.
"She can seem nice, but don't let her trick you. She is very bright for her age, and as mischievous as Odd."
"Like I said, must run in the family. As for being as mischievous as Odd, I highly doubt it," Aelita giggled. "So what do we do now, Jeremy?"
"Did you remember to bring...?"
"Of course I did. He's right here in the suit case," Aelita confirmed, grabbing a small doll out of the suitcase and displaying it before putting it back in.
"Okay, good, so, now what?" he asked.
"I don't know, how about a game?" Aelita asked.
"Sure, what do you want to play?"
Aelita started grinning mischievously.
"You see that grin? That sort of freaks me out," Jeremy said, stepping back and scooting on to the wall on the bed.
Aelita walked forward and started tickling him.
"Aelita! st-stop t-tickling me," Jeremy panted between bursts of laughter.
"Why, are you ticklish?"
Jeremy wisely didn't answer, although he probably couldn't have anyway, because he was laughing so hard.
While Aelita continued on tickling him, Jenny watched from the doorway, sporting a huge grin as she tried to stifle her giggles by putting a hand over her mouth, although she wasn't too successful.
"Sorry to interrupt- er, whatever this is, but it's lunch time, lovebirds," Jenny said.
Aelita stopped tickling Jeremy as they both looked at her in the doorway.
They both blushed severely, Aelita quickly backing away and Jeremy sitting up and composing himself just as Jenny walked away giggling.
Everyone was already gathered around the table when Jeremy and Aelita came into the kitchen, blushing crazily if they got within two feet of each other.
For this reason, Jenny had specifically taken the chair next to Mrs. Belpois to force them to sit together.
For dinner, they ate a special Christmas dish that Mrs. Belpois had prepared. It had been quite a meal.
"Thank you for the food," Jenny said when she was done. "It was very good."
"Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. Why is everyone so quiet today?" Mrs. Belpois.
Jeremy and Aelita both blushed and kept eating, while Jenny struggled to stifle giggles.
"Aelita, how about you tell us how you met our son...?" the father asked.
"Well, we met in an old abandon factory, with a supercomputer. I was once virtual, but Jeremy materialized me on earth, where I recovered my memory."
"That's really funny, Aelita." Jenny giggled.
Luckily, the family had a sense of humor.
"So, Aelita, how did you meet our son?" the mom asked.
"My friend Odd is her cousin, and he introduced us," Jeremy said, finishing the rest of his bowl.
Aelita finished the rest of her bowl just as Jenny finished hers.
"So, now what will we be doing, mom?" Jeremy asked.
"Well, how about we put some final touches on the Christmas tree, and then we can decorate your room Jeremy," she answered.
"I can't wait for Santa to come," Jenny said.
"You know, Jenn," Jeremy began to say as he pushed his glasses up his nose with one finger, "Santa gives presents to only the good boys and girls, and if you're mean, you get coal. He also knows when you're awake and asleep every Christmas, so I would try to behave," he said.
"Oh, don't worry, Jeremy, I will. I will." she said, internally giggling.
As everybody got up, the parents said they would finish up the Christmas tree, and that they should all go decorate Jeremy's room, along with Jenny.
As Jenny walked by, she slyly grabbed some mistletoe out of a box.
Time to give them an early Christmas present.
"Jeremy? Could you and Aelita help me with something?" the eight year-old asked.
"Sure Jenn, what is it?" Jeremy asked.
"I need you two to grab some boxes and bring them in your room."
"Jenn, you didn't booby trap my room, did you?"
"No."
Jeremy (Who was, of course, still very suspicious) and Aelita each grabbed a box, along with Jenny, and set it down.
"Why are you giggling like a crazy person?" Jeremy asked.
"That's why," Jenny giggled again, walking up to the two and pointed her finger up.
Looking up, Jeremy and Aelita both blushed as they saw mistletoe.
"You know what to do when you're under the mistletoe, right Jeremy?"
He gave Jenny a look that said: I am so going to get you for this.
The young, blond, genius thought no more as Aelita captured his lips.
Jeremy was blushing madly when she pulled away, and Aelita, despite her smile, had a small blush of of her own.
"I've... I've never kissed anyone under mistletoe before," the pinkette admitted bashfully, the blush growing on her cheeks.
"I haven't either," Jeremy confessed,
"Well, this is very sweet and all, but... I've got to uh, do something," Jenny said as she bolted from the room.
"Jenny!" Jeremy yelled, breaking out of his daze and starting to chase after her. "You set this up!"
"Don't tell me you didn't like it!"
Aelita knew one thing for sure.
Despite both their shyness and embarrassment, she had definitely enjoyed it...
Hope you liked it! This is sort of co-written... Lyokowarrior1994 writes it, and I edit, revise, add, and cut. Review!
