Author's Notes: I got the idea for this songfic after I saw "Masters of All Time". This fic takes place through the eyes of Jack's cat Jasmine, only a couple of minutes before Danny enters his house after altering time. This is a Songfic. The Song is Aly & AJ's "No One". Don't expect the greatest story ever written, 'cause it's not. I was also a bit rushed when I wrote it.

A Cat's Perspective
I am movin' through the crowd
Tryin' to find myself
Feel like a guitar that's never played
Will someone strum away
The cat lay on the floor, absorbing the heat. She didn't know why there was heat there, but she didn't care. Just as long as she was warm, happy, and loved. She heard the bang of a door, and turned away from the sound.
And I ask myself
Who do I wanna be
Do I wanna throw away the key
And invent a whole new me
He always had to disturb her. Pluck her out of her bright peace of heaven. He held her in his arms and spoke softly about dreams unfulfilled. About lost love. About the mistakes and errors of his past.
And I tell myself
No one
No one - don't wanna be
No one but me
She swiped. He dropped her, drops of blood fell on the carpet. He cried out in pain. She stood watching, her ears flat.
You are movin' through the crowd
Tryin' to find yourself
She hadn't meant to hurt him this badly, but he was hurting her. He didn't do anything, he just loved her.
Feelin' like a doll left on a shelf
Will someone take you down
She warily approached him. He was crying. She saw gash across the side of his face where she broke skin. Why did she do that?
And you ask yourself
Who do I wanna be
She realized he wasn't just crying because of the physical pain, but of the emotional pain, all the depression of his life had surfaced in one blow, freeing itself.
Do I wanna throw away the key
And invent a whole new me
She had never seen him this upset. She wanted to confort him, but knew the damage had been done before she even existed. But she still had to try, he was all he had.
Gotta tell yourself
No one
No one - don't wanna be
No one but me
She saw a familiar mist float out of his mouth, but he continued to cry, the gash on his face now hidden by the spread of ecto-acne. She slowly backed away. It was his life, he had to try to work it out himself. There was nothing she could do.
Your life plays out on the shadows of the wall
You turn the light on to erase it all
You wonder what it like to not feel worthless
So open all the blinds and all the curtains
She heard the door open. Since when did the infamous Jack Fenton have friends? She looked as he straightened up, surprise overpowering the pain.
"Not since college," The cat thought sadly.
No one
No one - don't wanna be
No one but me
She heard the door close and a boy call out. The voice made her realize that something was about to happen. Change was coming, she was sure of it.
We are movin' through the crowd...
The End
