Spotty: Hizas! Here's chapter six of Jasmine of the Shadows! This is my longest story so I'm really happy! Yeah!
Jasmine: For once, I actually like one of your fanfics! =)
Spotty: I can't tell whether I should be offended or happy, so...
Dain: Yes, thank you, Spotty.
Spotty: What is this, be nice to Spotty day? Or creep Spotty out day...
Jasmine and Dain: So, since we were nice to you...
Spotty: I knew it!
Jasmine and Dain: Make it fluffy!
Spotty: FINE! I'll try my best. Now: READ THE FIC!
Jasmine was worried about the next part of her mission, but she was ready. She told a little Grade 2 Ol in the shape of a butterfly to alert the Grey Guards of Steven's caravan being suspicious. She watched as the butterfly flew to the guards and landed on one of their shoulders. She watched it for a while, and tried not to go insane as Steven and Nevets sang yet another verse of that blasted song, and Lief bit Barda when he tried to go get a drink of water.
"What are you DOING, Lief?" screamed Jasmine, losing her cool for a couple of minutes as her claustrophobia got to her.
"I'm guarding the water bottles, of course," replied Lief. She was tempted to knock him out, just to get the stupid kid to shut up, but she held it in, remembering her mission from the Shadow Lord. She would need to get hurt to make it believable, but not that badly. She knew about gripper fields, but decided to play dumb so that Barda would almost die, as was her mission.
When Steven told them to get out, Jasmine urged them towards the gripper field. She pretended to not understand as inside she winced as she stepped into the middle of a gripper, and then pretended to be O.K., so that Barda and Lief would just step on the weeds already. Barda FINALLY got both of his feet stuck, and started sinking. On the inside, Jasmine cheered, while on the outside she yelped as she yanked out her foot and stepped onto a pale grass covered stone. Then, she let Lief believe that he had discovered those stones, and they helped free Barda, by which time all four of his limbs were caught.
Jasmine had escaped with only one injured leg, and she was doing O.K. Lief was WAAY more worried about his water bottles than his meager injuries. Barda had suffered the most, but luckily he was alive. 'Mission accomplished' thought Jasmine as she and Lief supported Barda. Well, Lief and she sort of did. She needed to test whether he was alive, and Lief was obsessing over his water bottles again. Jasmine fingered her necklace as she walked along in thought. 'What was Dain doing?' She wondered...
Meanwhile, Dain and the Doom Group as it had come to be called were walking. Well, he was actually trying to get his sweater off as Doom looked at him like a loony bin. "That sweater is purple," said Doom. "I thought you loved Tora!"
"I do!" said Dain.
"Then stop being fussy," said Doom. "That sweater is warm and good for you,"
"Fine!" said a very annoyed Dain. "I'll wear your stupid sweater!"
"That was one of the things my wife made for me when I was younger." said Doom, quietly.
"I thought you didn't have a wife." said Dain
"I just remembered that I did."
"Fine! Sorry!" screamed Dain.
This went on for a few hours until Dain couldn't take it anymore. He curled up on the ground during rest break and went to sleep...
Meanwhile, Jasmine found herself very tired, so she went to the corner of the skeleton house, as they were calling it as Lief, she and Barda waited for Steven, and fell asleep...
Jasmine and Dain were summoned to the Shadowphone clearing, but the Shadow Lord was nowhere in sight, so they were alone. Jasmine ran over to Dain and toppled him over with the force of her running, and she ended up on top of him, laughing her head off. "I see you're still wearing the lovely sweater!"
"Doom's wife made it for him, so he yelled at me when I tried to take it off," said Dain, who hated the sweater more than he had ever hated anything.
"Doom has a wife?" asked Jasmine.
"That's what I said when he told me. Apparently he does."
Jasmine was still very tired from her day in the gripper field, and was just about to rest when Dain stopped her. "What!" she grumbled.
"You got hurt," he said, a horrified look coming to his face.
"It's nothing," said Jasmine. "I did my mission, now let me go to sleep. I'm TIRED!"
"Fine," said Dain. Jasmine lay down and curled herself into a ball, while resting her head on Dain's lap. He stroked her hair as she drifted off to sleep, but when she woke up she was still there with Dain. Jasmine was surprised that she was still asleep in the normal world but was happy. Dain was surprised to see her awake, but he was also thrilled. They talked, and told each other about their annoying and exhausting days. Jasmine told him about the gripper field, and Dain told her about the sweater and Agoogagoo berry. Jasmine snickered when she heard about his "I Love Tora!" water bottle.
Then, she told him about how there really was no heir.
"Jasmine, Lief is the heir," said Dain. "But we need to convince him that I'M the heir."
"WAIT! LIEF is the heir? LIEF?" screamed Jasmine
"Yes, dear. He just doesn't have the gems in the correct order, but our job is to convince him that the skeletons were fake (and they are) and that I am the heir."
"Oh, that will be fun," said Jasmine. Lief annoyed her with his water bottles. "Oh, did I tell you about what we did to him with the water bottles?" said Jasmine. "He's OBSESSED with those water bottles, ever since I poured his on your head. Remember that day? Ahhh, good times, good times."
"That's... disturbing," said Dain.
"I know!" said Jasmine. Then, Dain started to fade. Dain noticed that she was paling, too.
"We're waking up, dear," said Dain, gently. "We'll see each other soon." They pressed their lips to each other's and kissed while they returned to Earth. Jasmine hugged Dain, and then they were gone, back on Earth in their separate places.
Lief was waking Jasmine up as Steven returned.
Doom was yelling at Dain to get moving.
Inside, both of them smiled while they thought of the things that these people didn't even suspect, and allowed themselves to be woken up...
Spotty: So, yay! I reached a thousand words again! My internet is working again! Oh, thank you so much to neryssa for their review. I'm not updating again until I get another review, but more would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Dain: I hate you.
Spotty: WHY?
Dain: Because you gave me that STUPID sweater! Most of the fanfic is great, but the sweater is DRIVING ME CRAZY! WHY DO I HAVE TO WEAR IT EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT WRITING?
Spotty: Because it can't come off.
Jasmine: Is he still going on about that sweater?
Spotty: Yup.
Jasmine: LOL!
Dain: This isn't funny!
Spotty&Jasmine: Yes, it is!
Dain: Grrr
Spotty and Jasmine: Go girls! Yeah!
Spotty OUT!
