"Nah...I don't see it." Said one boy.
"You seem like too much of a loser." Added another.
"No way you can get a girlfriend." Said a girl.
"What? Come on dudes, look at me. Chicks practically can't keep their hands off me." smirked Ray Ray.
"Yeah, because your sister's friends see you as puppy and kitten cute." deadpanned one kid.
"Still counts."
"Being fawned over doesn't count as getting a real girlfriend."
"Well fine, I'll show you I can get a girlfriend." Ray Ray told them with the utmost confidence.
"Alright, but you got till tomorrow."
"Ho-ho...bring...it...on!"
Later at home...
"You screwed up royally." Said Dennis and Monroe.
"Aw come on, don't you think I already know that?" Ray Ray said in panic. "What am I gonna do? I could use magic, but the Fun Police, AKA June will stop me!
"Uh dude? You forgot Monroe." smirked Dennis while playing his game as said dog frowned at him.
"And just pray tell me boy, what would you use it for? Mind control some lass into being your girlfriend? Make one appear out of thin air?"
"Hey, that's a good idea!" he smiled. "Quick, is there some book with instructions on how I want her to look?"
"No! I forbid it!" He frowned. "Trying to make life for something so stupid is way over the line. Just ask one of the girls in your class."
"No way! They'll be under suspicion, and I know they wouldn't want to kiss me to prove we're dating."
"What? Can't you just hold hands? That was a big sign of courting back when I was just a wee pup."
"That was enough proof back then, but not in modern times! Kids his age expect a kiss on the lips now." Dennis explained.
"I swear you kids need to learn when to pull it back."
"So what are we gonna do now?"
Both boys thought about it, before the doorbell rang.
"I got it." spoke June walking down the stairs. She opened the door to reveal Jasmine Lee, their grandmother. "Hey Ah-Mah!"
"Hello June, mind if I come in?"
"Of course." She side stepped to the left as Jasmine walked in past her.
Upon hearing his grandma come in, Ray Ray came up with a new idea.
"That's it! We bring back Roxanne!"
"Dude, did those guys kick your butt and make you go delusional?"
"No, they didn't! But come-on, it's just a kiss from Ah-Mah, and they won't know."
"Dude, do you know how messed up that sounds?"
"I've seen people on TV ask their out of town cousin to pretend to be their girlfriend just to look cool. It's gonna be fine. I just introduce Roxanne, she kisses me, and then I turn her back."
"Well the lads not wrong there. It's actually been common for Asians, but still, that's your grandma boy!" spoke Monroe.
"I know, but what's the harm in it? It's just one day, and I'll never have to ask again." He pleaded while June and Ah Mao walked over. "Please?"
"What's Ray Ray asking for this time?"
"He wants to bring back Roxanne to prove a point."
"...say What?"
"Please! I don't ask for anything like this before!"
"While I did like being young again, why do you want me as a teenager?"
"My friends don't think I can get a girl. I just need you to kiss me in front of them once, and that's it."
"Ray Ray that's gross." cringed June.
"I'm desperate ok?"
"He never said on the lips either." Added their grandma.
"Wait you're fine with this?" spoke June in shock.
"Look, I'm not happy about this, but I'm an old lady, what do I have to lose? Another year of living? Besides, it'll be a kiss on the cheek, I do that anyway."
"But..." That's when her bracelet alarmed her that something was happening! "...Ugh! We'll talk about this later, apparently Uncle Skeeter is back!"
"Again? What does it take to beat a mummy?" spoke Monroe in annoyance.
And as June and Monroe ran out...
"Now that they're busy, let's do this!"
"Wait, do we even have a youth potion?" asked Dennis.
"I brewed another, incase I wanna be a crazy kid again." she smiled while slipping it out of her sleeve. "Just don't tell June or Monroe."
"Right!" smiled Ray Ray as she started drinking the vial.
And with a poof, Jasmine Lee became Roxanne. Even though her clothes were now too big.
Ray Ray and Dennis closed their eyes.
"I'll be right back." Jasmine then left and ran to June's room. After some time she came back downstairs with the clothes from before. Alright, open your eyes.
They looked and sighed with relief.
"Of come on I don't look that bad." she joked.
"You look perfect."
"Thank you Ray Ray, should we rehearse? "
"Like how?"
"Walking up to them, holding hands, you say a whole bunch of smack talk, then I kiss you. Seems easy, but presentation is everything to make it believable."
"Uh...oh I got it! What about those weird gross nicknames they say on tv?"
"No, that's too much."
"Yeah, that was me spitballing. I'd probably gag." he cringed.
"But we should still rehearse to make it look real."
And so they worked throughout the night to make the lie seems true. The next day, Ray Ray's friends were in the hallway, confident he lost.
"Five bucks say he tries to forget about the deal."
"5 bucks and the phone numbers of your mom and sister that he skipped town."
"Hey there...non-men." called Ray Ray walking over with 'Roxanne' walking next to him with their hands together. "You call?"
The boys all dropped their candy bars and were struck silent.
"Guys, say hello to my girl, Roxanne."
"No-o-o way, no way is she your girlfriend."
"Oh-no?" Said Ray Ray. "Then why are we about to do this?"
They watched 'Roxanne' pick Ray Ray up and kiss his cheek, making all of them drop their jaws.
"Whoa..." The boys said.
Ray Ray himself blushed while enjoying it. "What? You can't always underestimate people like that."
"I...I still don't believe it."
"What else must we do to make you guys realize I can get the ladies? Play 30 minutes in Heaven? Have a full fledged date? Marry her? What do you want?"
"Kiss her squarely on the lips."
"Sorry guys, but we ain't at that level yet."
"Bwak bwak bwak."
"Wow, you really are boys, not understanding the concept of taking it slow." 'Roxanne' mocked.
"Hey!"
"Sorry boys, but Ray Ray's not quite ready for lip on lip action yet."
"Bwak!"
"Come-on Roxanne, we've spent quite enough time with these singles." Smirked Ray Ray taking her hand as they walked away.
And once Ray Ray was gone.
"So much jealousy is what I'm feeling right now!"
"Did you see her? She was so pretty!"
"I want his level of swag!"
"It worked! Thanks Ah-Mah."
"No problem Ray Ray, I'm just glad we didn't touch lips." She said. "Though this did remind me of when I had to trick friends in a similar way."
"Lemme guess, they thought you were too weird to get a guy, due to being the Te Xuan Ze?"
"Bingo, plus he had a huge crush on me."
"Wow..."
"Yep, now let's go change me back."
And as they were walking home, that's when the giant mech threw up June and Uncle Skeeter and as June finished him as they were falling with one last punch, something fell out of the mummy's pocket.
Ray Ray and Jasmine looked up just as the object hit her on the head. The thing broke and it's dust contents spilled all over her.
"What the heck?"
As June and Skeeter landed. June ran over to Jasmine. "Oh-no!" Gasped June.
"Ugh, my head feels funny."
"Sorry Ah-Mah, but this time, Uncle Skeeter was trying to sell some sort of love potion infused dust. Which forces love. After making enough money discreetly, he decides to build this giant mech in an attempt to kill me."
"And I almost got away with it too."
"Shut up!" Then June kicked his head, knocking him out!
"I think...I need to go lie down."
"Need some help?" Ray Ray.
"Yeah." And when she looked at him. "Hey, you know...I don't think I'm ready to go back to Jasmine just yet."
"Uh...why?"
June facepalmed. "I can't believe how fast acting it is...there's a lot of monsters I have to dispel, try not to make out for real until I get back!"
"Wait what?!" Ray Ray gasped. "Why aren't you gonna help me 1st?"
"So I know where the last victim is, and to teach you a lesson!" She frowned before running off.
"Wait! No! June! Come back! June! Juuuune!"
"Come-on kid, let's have a date, I'll pay." Smiled Jasmine picking him up.
"No Ah-Mah! We're only pretending in front of my friends."
"Well now we're being real and while in this form, do not call me grandma, it's Roxanne!" She smiled while keeping a firm grip on him.
Later...their 1st stop was the arcade, with a brand new Boomfist game.
"Woah, I thought this wasn't gonna be out till winter."
"Go ahead and play, I'll be here to make you look cool...considering I'm the only girl here." She remarked as he started going at it. She gave him a hug from behind, her breathe going down his neck.
It made him tingle, distracting him a bit, but he continued playing.
"You're not bad at this."
"Thanks Gr...Roxanne...I'm always picking up the Boomfist games very fast. No matter how bad or how recent." He explained while the other guys saw him with a girl.
"Woah, who's he?"
"No clue, but check out the girl."
"A couple on a date here? He must be a cool kid!"
"Sounds like they're eating it up." she whispered. Then she kissed his cheek.
Ray Ray blushed while the crowd cheered him on. That's when he beat the final boss and racked up the highest score, making crowd roar.
"Woohoo! Way to go Ray Ray!" smiled Jasmine lifting her grandson up.
"Ray Ray! Ray Ray!" They chanted.
"Aw yeah! Say my name! I rule!"
After the chanting ended, they decided to take a break and eat some food at a chicken restaurant. They walked in and took a booth with Jasmine sitting right next to him.
She put an arm around Ray Ray while looking at the menu. "What looks good?"
"The chicken fingers sound scrumptious."
"I think I'll have these chicken fries."
Then the waiter came by with a notepad. They placed their orders then chatted as they waited.
"So Ray Ray, how have you been doing in school?"
"I'm getting there..."
"Still hiding report cards I see."
"What? No." he looked away. "Maybe."
That made her giggle. "Maybe I should have you stick around so I can tutor you."
"Uh...I guess that would be a good idea." he admitted before she pulled him into a hug.
"Aww, your food's ready." Said the waiter before placing their food on the table. "Enjoy."
Like a pig, Ray Ray scarfed down his chicken, while Roxanne ate her chicken slowly, savoring the flavor, even occasionally dipping her chicken in the ranch dressing.
When they were done Ray Ray let out a burp. " 'Scuse m-" One last chicken finger ended up in his mouth while the other end was in her mouth. She then took a bite moving her head forward. 'Wait, is she-"
Her head got closer and closer as Ray Ray realized and and pulled his head back!
Meanwhile...
"Ray Ray better not be doing things suspicious, I'll kill him if he is." muttered June looking around. 'Now where are they?'
Back to Ray Ray, he thought he dodged, but was pulled into the kiss! 'She is!' He pulled away! "Come-on, don't do this! You're under a spell!"
"That's crazy, I like you cause you're cute and funny, besides, don't be shy, do you know how often incest's been done for our ancestors?"
"But...that's only in anime..."
"Is it? It it really exclusive to anime? What about pure breeds of dogs? Purebreed is just a synonym for inbred. The Greek gods Zeus and Hera are siblings as well as husband and wife. Did you know that Cleopatra married both of her brothers before killing them? For God's sakes, Albert Einstein's 2nd wife was his 2nd cousin." she listed off while Ray Ray gulped. "Honestly this between you and me is better then if we were siblings."
As she continued ranting even more, she didn't notice how Ray Ray slid under the table and dashed.
"And furthermore, that whole Adam and Eve story! So if they were supposed to be the 1st man and woman and populate this world with humans...then did they switch partners when the 1st son and daughter were finally adults?" She then turned to see Ray Ray gone. "Hey!"
Ray Ray ran for home as fast as he could in order to escape his young grandma's romantic affections.
"I feel like I'm done for the day." Said the reader.
No! You will watch! Don't make me get the rope.
The reader sighed before continuing.
"Get back here little boy so I can kiss you! Okay...in retrospect I shouldn't have shouted that out loud in public." she muttered while running down the street.
Jasmine then decided to use magic to beat Ray Ray home. She then pulled out a magic talisman and warped there. Ray Ray then turned around.
"Yes! I lost her!" he cheered while slowing down to walk home with relaxation. After entering his home, he went straight for the bedroom.
'Just gotta play the day away as I wait for June to dispel grandma.'
But when he got there he heard a sneeze.
"Dennis, are you trying to prank me again?" He then opened the door to his closet.
"Nope." Jasmine pulled him in with a grin. "But I could show you a new game."
"Uh...not sure if I wanna play this game." he gulped with a bright blush.
"Trust me, 30 minutes in heaven is the most fun you'll ever have in your youth."
"But you just said seven!"
"I said, Heaven, not Seven." she smirked while picking him up.
He gulped and braced himself.
Half an hour went by as June came home and banged on Ray Ray's door.
"Ray Ray! Open up."
Silence as the door creaked open.
She opened it and saw Ray Ray sitting on his bed looking disheveled, tired, and smiling.
"What did you do?"
"Something very satisfying." she smiled while June's face paled. "Oh relax, consider it a quick way to grow up, plus who better than a girl with tons of experience?"
June just felt like giving up at this point and going to bed to forget everything. Sadly no, she had a job to do.
"That's it, we're putting you back to normal, right now." She then used the concoction made by Monroe to counter the love dust made by Uncle Skeeter and then used a magic wand to dispel the youth potion.
"Well, I had one crazy day today, I hope next time I'm young, it's not the same day one of your arch-enemies are attacking." She remarked before looking at her grandson. "Thanks for the date Ray Ray, we should do it again real soon."
And after she was gone, June turned to the little boy.
"Hey June?"
"Yeah little bro?"
"I think I'll take her up on that." he smiled a goofy grin.
June just decided to not reply to that and go to bed.
