Hey! Sorry it's been so long! Here is my next chapter which I guess was actually a prologue but this will just be chapter 2 because it is easier ;) Anyway, I'm going to write in third person for the rest of the story because it feels crucial to the story line and I don't want to write from multiple PoV's because that could confuse y'all and myself (which would probably not be a good thing..haha) So now, let the games begin…. I mean the story ;)
Jazz awakened with an awful headache and was flooded with the recognition of what had happened just before she passed out. Dread passed through her.
"J-jazz?" Steve said hesitantly.
Jazz nodded. "What just happened?"
Rose exchanged glances with Steve nervously. "You – we think um…"
"What? Spit it out Rose," Jazz stammered, scared of what Rose had to say but very curious.
"Well, we thought you were dead… You didn't have a pulse and now, now –"
Steve cut in. "Your hair is snow white, your eyes are green and your skin is super pale and cold…"
Jazz raised a brow. "What?"
"And you're glowing…"
Jazz rolled her eyes. "Don't play with me, Steve. I could've died."
"That's the thing… We think you did die. We think that you might be a – a ghost," Rose told Jazz.
Jazz started to giggle. "Ghosts don't exist. And even if they did, aren't they supposed to be invisible?"
"This is serious!" Rose exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Steve agreed. "Look in the mirror and maybe then you'll believe us."
Jazz shrugged as she got up, feeling a lot better oddly enough. Almost like she just had an energy drink.
She walked into the bathroom of the laboratory and looked in the mirror, but the reflection she saw wasn't her. Actually, it wasn't anything… It was merely the wall of the bathroom. She wasn't there.
"Is this some kind of joke?" She turned to Steve and Rose who had followed her in.
"Where did you go? Jazz?" Steve said.
"I'm right here."
She reappeared right before their eyes. They gasped. Jazz looked in the mirror again. She was there. But Steve was right… She looked like she was dressed for Halloween as some sort of ghost.
"Oh my God," she said, as she touched her face. "What – How? This is not possible. What happened to me?"
Rose shook her head. "You just went invisible. Which means you're a –"
Jazz put up her hand. "Don't say it! I am not a ghost! I am a normal human being with the power to go invisible."
As she said this she realized Rose and Steve getting taller or was she shrinking? Her eyes widened as she noticed she was sinking through the floor.
"Gahh!" Jazz exclaimed as she willed herself to float up from under the floor. She flew up but where her legs were supposed to be, there was a tail. Jazz gasped then dropped to the floor and yelped.
Steve and Rose got down beside Jazz and held her arms. "Maybe we should ask your parents for help," Steve suggested.
"NO, no way," Jazz shot down his idea. "We can't. They'd freak if they found out their daughter was a ghost… Or whatever I am…"
Rose nodded. "It's probably best if we don't tell anyone about this."
"Hey! Jazz!" They heard footsteps down the stairs of the lab.
"Oh God! Jazz, hide!" Rose shrieked.
Rose and Steve stepped out of the bathroom, closing the door behind them. A black haired boy with dazzling blue eyes stood before them.
"Is everything okay?" He asked, raising a brow.
"Yeah everything is –" Rose started.
"Everything is great because – um –" Steve cut in.
"Um, everything is completely fine Danny. We were just uh –" Rose tried to say.
"Helping Jazz clean the bathroom because she… lost her toothbrush?" Steve conjured up an excuse.
Rose glared at him with a look that read Really? He shrugged.
"Uhhh – okay. Did she leave?" Danny asked, suspiciously, and then he sniffed the air. "Why does it smell like something's – "
He immediately looked at the portal. "BURNING?! The – the portal! What happened?"
"Um – well, you see. It kinda – "
"Oh my God, it actually works! How'd you guys fix this thing? Is this some sort of early anniversary present or something?"
Both Steve and Rose looked at the glowing portal in amazement. They'd been so worried about Jazz, they didn't even notice that the portal was actually working.
"Um, no –" Steve started to tell him, but then Rose nudged him.
"Yes! Jazz wanted it to be a surprise for everyone but I guess it's okay that you know."
"How'd she do it? How'd she know? How'd she get it to work? – I thought that my parents had no idea what they were doing, but maybe some of their inventions really do work! This is so cool!" Danny walked over to it and put his hand in the green ectoplasmic energy. He took it out quickly. "Whoa, that is weird." He looked at them, with a curious look in his eyes. "Where's Jazz?"
"Um – well," Rose pondered for a choice of words.
Steve tried to conjure up something as well but gave up.
Danny raised a brow. "Okay. Don't tell me. But it would be so cool to see if there's anything inside that portal. Another world? How cool would that be?" He looked at the portal with wonder.
Rose rolled her eyes thinking of how to get him to leave. "Hey, Danny, don't you have some chores to do?"
"Actually, that's why I came down. I have to clean the lab…"
Crap, thought Rose.
Steve shrugged. "Do it later. Rose and I need to talk in private."
"Last time I checked this is my house."
Rose sighed. "Look kid." She took a five dollar bill out of her pocket and handed it to Danny. "Go hang out with your friends or something. Just don't bother us right now."
Danny nodded with satisfaction and left.
They immediately went into the bathroom. Jazz was standing, looking at her reflection. Her hair was red and her eyes were their natural color as well. Whatever happened wasn't permanent. Maybe it only lasts for a few minutes. That's what they wanted to think at least… Unfortunately, you can't always get what you want.
Thanks for reading! Hope all of you are well. Review please!
