After thinking it over I'm not going to change Jasmin's name cause it fits her I think… ummm… don't forget to visit my DA page and… I think that's all I have to say so please enjoy the rest of the story
Breakfast was ready by 8:30 and by that time Logan was up and waiting for a plate full of food to magically appear in front of his face. Jasmin served herself and her brother. As soon as she set down the food Logan immediately began to shovel down everything on his plate. Between bites he decided it was to quiet and started up a conversation.
"Hey," Jasmin stopped poking at her food and looked up at her older sibling.
"Aunt Mary wanted to know if we wanted to stay with her for a little while."
"How long exactly is a little while?"
"Not too long…eh, maybe just a week or two."
"I don't know…" She wasn't really a big fan of her strict aunt, but for some reason Aunt Mary loved her. It was probably because she was the only niece or nephew that could tolerate her for more then 5 minuets.
"I just thought that you might like a trip to the country side, you know? Fresh air and all that."
"What do you mean country side? Doesn't Aunt Mary live in Central?"
"Naw, That's Aunt Maudy and Uncle Tilden. Aunt Mary lives in Resembul."
Jasmin froze. She began to remember what Al had told them one night at dinner;
Jasmin quietly knocked on Al's door.
"Alphonse, are you hungry?" Dinner's ready if you want it." She said through the door.
Al opened his door and saw Jasmin turned away from the door with her head towards the ground as if she were talking to it.
"We're having stew, it's not exactly gourmet but still it's food none the less you know…"
Alphonse cleared his throat to signify his presence.
"Oh, Alphonse! I didn't even noticed you had opened the door!" She said surprised, "You know you're really quiet. I haven't heard a peep from you all afternoon. You're just like a little mouse you know? All quiet and cu- AND I'll just stop talking now." Jasmin said with a nervous blush beginning to form on her face. She had been known to babble when she was nervous, embarrassed or just had no idea what to say. Al laughed at her little charade.
"…what?..." 'Oh no! Did he catch that last part? I thought I caught myself fast enough!' She thought to herself.
"Nothing," 'Was she going to say what I think she was going to say? Oh, never mind.' "let's just go eat dinner."
"Right," Jasmin said as she lead the way to the kitchen. To Alphonse's disbelief, the kitchen was spotless. It had white tiled floors and black tiled counters. There was a table big enough to fit four people towards the end of the room. Logan was already at the table slurping up some stew.
"Thanks for waiting," Jas said sarcastically to her brother.
"No problem," Logan said with a mouthful of his dinner.
Jasmin took a seat across from her brother while Al sat between the two.
"So Al, got any family around her?" Logan asked.
"Well… not really…"
"What'd ya mean not really? Something happen?"
"Well…"
Jasmin then got annoyed at her brother lack of knowledge of human emotions. She quickly kicked his shin hard from under the table.
"AH! Son of a…"
"SO Al, where did you say you were from again?" she said while taking a sip of her stew.
"Umm, Resembul," He answered, still not completely sure what just happened.
"Oh that's sounds nice. Hey Logan, doesn't Aunt Mary live out that way?"
"Yep she does. You've been there once before when you were about four, remember?"
"Not really…"
"You guys seem to have a big family. Jasmin was telling me about all the family you guys have living out around Central."
"Yeah, it's pretty big," Logan responded as he finished up his stew.
"Logan, this is off subject but, why is it that your kitchen's always clean?" His younger sister questioned.
" 'Cause it's the only room I ever really use."
"That doesn't make much sense."
"Yeah? Well neither do you," he said while exiting the kitchen.
Jasmin laughed sarcastically at her brother's "witty" comeback.
When Alphonse was finished he asked Jas if he could use the phone.
"Oh yeah sure, there's one in here or if you want more privacy there's one in your room."
"Ok, thanks."
With that, Al headed up stairs to his room.
"…okay…"
"Huh?" Logan responded from the kitchen sink where he was washing the dishes.
Jasmin stared at her plate and answered,"…I'll go."
