Rae was still asleep. Jazz was watching TV, and Danny was sitting at his desk playing on the computer. They had talked it out, but only barely. They were waiting for Rae to wake up so they could leave each other's company. Jazz was still ticked, and Danny was still irritated that the snoring mass lying on his bed had frenched his sister.
Rae started, and then yawned deeply, and stretched.
"Evening," he said to Jazz and Danny. He reached over to his book, and disappeared behind it.
"Rae, can we go now?" Jazz asked. "We talked." Rae's eyes appeared above his book.
"Nope," he replied cheerfully, disappearing behind his book again. Danny groaned, and turned back to the computer. Jazz got up, and walked over to Rae, and pulled his book down. "Please sweetie," she said in a sultry voice, while pouting. "Do you think you could let me and Danny out? Pleeease?"
Rae gave her a look, and replied "Sorry, 'sweetie', but I'm immune to sweet talk. You and your baby brother have to actually talk before I give you the key."
Jazz harrumphed and sat back down on the chair next to the bed. Suddenly, green and blue fog appeared out of nowhere.
"There he is!" Ember shouted.
"Or," Rae said, looking at Jazz, "that could happen." He looked around, and made a comment to the room at large. "Does anybody else realize that whenever a ghost pops up, it turns dark? I mean, it's just weird! Why…"
"See, see! There he is!" Ember cut across, pointing frantically at Rae. "Isn't he gorgeous?"
"Oh, he definitely is! I'd grant any wish he wants!" Desiree said.
Danny looked dumbfounded. "Desiree, and Ember? Why are you here?"
"Cork it, dip-wad! I came here to show Desi the hot guy I saw two weeks ago!" She zoomed up to Rae, and sighed. "Oh, look! His hair is long and shaggy now! He looks so rugged!" Desiree floated up as well.
"Ooo! He's so cute!" she said, running her finger along Rae's face. "Manly too!" Jazz was furious. She grabbed Ember, and threw her into Danny. Rae's face contorted and he retched twice, before, amid a large amount of saliva, the key to Danny's door came out, and hit Desiree flat in the face. She screeched with disgust, and flew blindly into a wall. Danny, thinking quickly, shouted "I wish that Ember and Desiree were gone!"
"You wish it, I dish it!" Desiree said, snapping her fingers. Then, she realized what she had done, and said "Oh, flibbertigibbets! I did it again!" The ghostly fan girls disappeared to Ember shouting loudly "YOU MORON!"
Jazz and Danny sighed in relief. Rae was already behind his book. Jazz then noticed the key, and lunged for it. To her surprise, the floor buckled underneath it, then popped up, sending it flying. It bounced of everything, and landed in Rae's mouth. With a gulp, it was on its way to his stomach.
"AAAUUUGGGHHH! THAT'S IT!" Jazz screamed, losing all control. "THAT KEY'S COMING OUT OF YOU, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!" She lunged at Rae, who dodged with lightning speed, and was soon beside her. He pressed two fingers into a spot on her back, and she collapsed onto the bed.
"You'll be like that for about two hours," he said. "In that time, I suggest you use the movable half of your body, i.e., your torso and arms, to move to one half of the bed. My strength will give out in about five minutes, and I need that bed as well. Is that all right with you?"
"NO!" Jazz and Danny retorted.
"Deal with it, sweetheart." Rae replied to Jazz, winking, and sliding up next to her on the bed. He put his book down, and pulled the blanket up to his chest. He was asleep immediately.
Jazz glared at Danny. "I blame you for this, baby brother."
"How is it MY fault?"
"EVERYTHING'S YOUR FAULT!"
Sam was walking home, when out of nowhere, Star appeared.
"Manson! I need to talk to you." she said.
"No thanks," Sam said, walking right past her.
"But, it's about Paullina!" Star pleaded. She actually pleaded. "She's gone bonkers about that Rae guy! I need you to convince him to fix this! Please!"
Sam turned around. "What is it exactly?"
"Jazz, Jazzy Jazz-Jazz, cutie-pie? Honey-bunch? Kissy-poo? HEY SISTER, WAKE UP!"
Jazz opened her eyes slowly, to see a dishevelled and unshaven Rae. She smiled, and lightly stroked his cheek. "Rae?" she said.
Rae smiled, and kissed her quickly. "Come on, your parents have dinner ready. And they've intimated that they won't wait. Your dad has quite the appetite." Jazz stretched, and got up. Rae held out his hand, and Jazz took it. They walked down to the kitchen hand in hand.
"Jazz, Rae, there you are!" Maddie said. "Rae, I hope you like potatoes and steak, because I made lots." Rae nodded vigorously, and he and Jazz sat down.
"Dig in, everyone!" Jack said. As soon as he had finished, Rae took the fork and knife and began devouring everything on his plate. He had seconds, and thirds, and he ate everything that wasn't being eaten by the family. Jazz, who had barely touched her food, was staring at Rae in shock.
"What? I haven't had a proper meal in a week! I'm hungry!" Except his mouth was full of food, so it came out as "Wut? I huvmt ad a porper mill uhn e wok! Um humgie!"
Jazz just stared. Rae pointed at her food, to indicate whether he could have it or not. Jazz rolled her eyes, than proceeded to feed him forkful by forkful of food. Jack looked slightly nauseated, and said "I, uh, gotta go." He then got up and went to the living room. Maddie looked at him, then told Danny to clean up the dishes, and followed Jack. Danny was left to see Jazz feeding Rae very slowly.
"Fun…" Danny muttered, returning to his food.
