Day 4: Eclipse
Jazz always knew that her little brother didn't feel like he measured up to her, that he constantly felt eclipsed by her long, academically smart shadow. That he needed to prove to their parents, and to himself, that he was just as smart as Jazz, maybe even smarter. She always knew that, which was why she kept trying to help, so that he didn't feel so insecure about not being as smart as her, so that he didn't feel that every single time they were at school and someone asked Danny why he couldn't be like Jazz, that he didn't feel eclipsed by her. She knew that, and she knew that Danny knew that too.
But what he didn't know, and what Jazz definitely knew, was that he eclipsed her as well. She was jealous of his close friendship with Sam and Tucker, when she always felt socially awkward. Her only friends were her books, and sometimes that was okay, but other times she yearned for being able to talk and laugh with a close friend and confide all her deepest, darkest secrets to them, like Danny did with Sam and Tucker. She felt insecure about this, especially with hers and Danny's parents being ghost hunters. She wanted to know what it was like to have a friend, but unless it was about school she was too shy to talk to anyone, which she was angry about. And, she was sure that every time she talked to someone about psychology, they would either leave or try to change the subject, which both frustrated and hurt her. Danny didn't have those problems with Sam and Tucker, which caused her jealously to rise, and made her feel that she was always eclipsed by Danny's shadow of his close friendship with Sam and Tucker, when she hardly had none.
And then he had gotten ghost powers.
Of course, up until she saw him transform, she didn't know, and when she did know, she always felt proud of him for using his powers for good. She covered him with their parents, and supported him and comforted him, especially after he fought his evil alternate future self. She was proud of him, but she also felt jealous. Every time she saw him, flying in the sky, or using any of his other ghost powers, she felt jealous. Sometimes, in the dark of the night, she sometimes wished that she too was half-ghost. But, she never said it aloud, and was always ashamed of herself when she always, in some dark part of her, wished that she had been the one to gain ghost powers, that she was the one fighting ghosts and protecting Amity Park. But, she knew that these powers came with a cost; she had to watch as her baby brother looked down in sadness every time their parents talked about ripping apart his ghost form molecule by molecule, how she had to "accidentally" stop them from fully killing him, how she had to help bandage up and hide the injuries and scars Danny received from ghost-fighting. She knew all that. And yet, she still wished that she she had ghost powers too, her jealously gnawing at her, making her feel ashamed.
While Danny felt eclipsed by Jazz's academically-smart shadow, Jazz felt eclipsed by Danny's shadow of friendship and ghost powers.
So, this might be a bit angsty. I dunno…
Anyway, hope you enjoy!
