Chapter 8: Jazz (Melody)
Jazz's POV:
River, Song, and I were walking towards Vlad's with all of my bags. As we were walking, people were crowding us, more accurately, River and Song. Everyone kept on asking the two of them questions, boys kept on asking for dates, and reporters wanting answers to their questions. Both of them never replied back to any of it. I was impressed. As we arrived at Vlad's mansion, River went into her pocket and took out a key. She opened the door and we all went in. River led me to a room that she said that I could use.
"Well, I am going to let dad know that you are here Jazz. Just make yourself comfortable." I made myself comfortable and was able to unpack all of my clothes and put them away. I was about 30 minutes into my unpacking when Vlad showed up.
"So, River has told me that you have run away from the Fenton's as well. She told me everything. How there was a dispute between Maddie and her. She also told me that you wanted away from that place as well. My dear, I do not have a problem with you staying here at all. My home is your home. Now, please get yourself cleaned up for dinner." I smiled when Vlad left. I knew for a fact that I was going to be happy with my sisters here. I was able to finish unpacking and I got myself cleaned up. After I was done with that, I went to the dining room where I saw Vlad, Rive, and Song already at the table. It seems that they were waiting for me. I smiled as I sat down at the table. River and Song were smiling knowing that I was going to be living with them. As I sat down, people were coming to the table giving us our meals that was made for us.
River's POV:
I smiled as I saw Jazz. I could not wait to do some sister activities with both Jazz and Song. All of a sudden, the table was surrounded with people that was giving us our food. I smiled as I saw what was being served. It was steak with potatoes and peas. I ate the food that was on my plate with manners that I developed myself. I even noticed that Vlad looked over and noticed how feminine my manners were when I ate.
"So, Jazz, I can't wait to do some sister-bonding with you. What should we do first?" I was filled with excitement that I could barely contain it.
"River, settle down. We are at the dinner table."
"Yes, dad. I am sorry." Dad just smiled at me. I was happy to be his daughter. As time went on, we all finished our meals and we all went to separate rooms, except for Song and I. We both went into my room. I had to talk to her about Jazz.
"Song, I have the craziest idea."
"What is it?" I was just filled with excitement.
"We should make her one of us, a halfa. We could totally be sisters then. We could be the best princess triplets."
"Princess triplets? Wait, Rivers, are you a princess?" I smiled sheepishly at Song. I had to tell her.
"Yes I am. Since you are my sister, that makes you a princess as well. Jazz, since she is my sister also, is also a princess as well. We are all the princesses of the Ghost Zone, but since I was announced as the first princess, I am going to be queen of the Ghost Zone when it comes to my turn at the throne, which of course I am not looking for anytime soon. Daddy can keep the throne for however long he wants it. No doubt though that there is going to be suitors for us to marry and all of that, but daddy won't allow it at all. He says that we are going to choose the people that we want to marry, but back to the topic of Jazz. I was doing some research and I was able to find a way to make her a halfa just like us. All I need are three things. Yellow ecto-plasm from the Ghost Zone, either some ecto-plasm from you or me, and some basic green ecto-plasm. We can get the green and the yellow ecto-plasm easily from the plants of the Ghost Zone." After I told Song about my plan, she was squealing in excitement. I could tell that she wanted another halfa sister like her.
Song's POV:
I was excited. I can't wait for Jazz to be like a halfa like us. River and I walked towards Vlad's lab and we went in the Ghost Zone. We flew around for a while until we came to some ecto-plants.
"River, we can get the yellow ecto-plasm from those plants, right?" River looked at the plants and smiled.
"We sure can." River and I grabbed the flowers and extracted the yellow ecto-plasm from the roots. The two of us gathered a small amount for that is all that we needed.
"So, where are we going to get the green ecto-plasm?" I asked River. I saw her smile.
"We can get it almost from anywhere. There are some basic plants over there on there on that floating island. We can get the green ecto-plasm from there. Let's go." River and I flew over to the next island and we were able to get the green ecto-plasm from the plants on the next island. As soon as we got both of the ecto-plasm's that we needed, we flew back to the mansion. When we arrived, I saw River grabbed a syringe.
"Song, I am going to use my ecto-DNA instead of yours. I think that it is better and plus I do not want to hurt you at all." I smiled knowing that River cared. I saw her pull back her sleeve and she got her own ecto-DNA. I winced when I saw her do it to herself.
"Are you okay, River?" I asked her.
"I am okay. All I have to do is just to mix it all up."
River's POV:
I took all three samples and I started to mix it in a beaker. As I was stirring the contents, I was busy making sure that nothing went wrong. I was able to mix all the contents without a problem and put it in syringe.
"Okay, first we ask her if she wants to be a half-ghost like us. If she says yes, then we show her the syringe. We inject it into her slowly allowing the ecto-plasm to take effect and it will make her a half ghost like us. Come on, let's go and find her." Song and I looked everywhere in dad's mansion until we found Jazz. We saw her in the garden. Song and I walked up to her hoping that she says yes.
"Hey, Jazz, I have a question to ask you?"
"What is it?"
Jazz's POV:
River came up to me wanting to ask me a question. I was taken back of what she asked me.
"Have you ever thought of becoming a half-ghost like us?" I was shocked when she asked me that. Granted I have thought of becoming a half-ghost because I always wanted to help Danny. I wanted to be able to help others as well. I wanted to feel the power running through me. I wanted to be able to do more than just sit on the side lines. I looked at River and I gave her my answer.
"To tell you the truth, yes. I have thought of wanting to become a half-ghost. I want to be able to help people with you, make sure that the people that I care about are taken care of. Why are you asking me?" Granted I was curious as to why she even asked me.
"The reason why Jazz is because I was able to find a way for you to become a half-ghost just like us. In this syringe right here," she took out the syringe that she was holding," is a solution that will be able to turn you into a halfa like us. If you want it, I can give it to you. All I need is to inject it in your arm. It might hurt, the process, but once I am done, you will be just like all of us." I smiled down at her looking at the syringe. Right there was the key to getting what I want. All I had to do was to say the words.
"Do it River. Inject it into me. I want to be your sister fully and nothing is going to stop me from getting what I want." She smiled and I gave her my arm. She took the syringe and started to inject it into me. I noticed that she was doing it slowly so that it can take full effect. I felt the pain and I was about to scream, but I was able to hold it back. This continued on for at least a couple of minutes. It was when River removed the needle from my arm that I was unable to feel the pain anymore. I was about to fall down when I was able to get my footing. River and Song were there to make sure that I did not fall at all.
River's POV:
I was happy. Jazz was like me and she even told me that she wanted to be a half-ghost. I could not wait to show dad. Jazz continued stumbling for at least five minutes until she was able to walk without my help or without Song's help at all. I saw her walk over to the mirror and she studied herself.
"Okay, Jazz, just try concentrating on a ghost form and it will be there. That is all that you have to do." Jazz nodded towards my direction. I saw her concentrating on her ghost form. All of a sudden, Song and I saw a flash and there stood my sister with a ghost form. She turned around and I saw the letter M on her chest. I was curious as to why the letter M appeared instead of the letter J.
"Jazz, why is there the letter M?" She smiled at me and told me.
"Because I wanted my name changed to Melody. When I was concentrating, I pictured the letter M on the front of the costume and it appeared." I was happy. River, Melody, and I left to go and find dad. I had to show him of what I was able to do.
Vlad's POV:
I was in my office sitting at my desk taking care of some legal documents when I heard the door swing open. I saw River, Song, and Jazz walk in. I got up from where I was sitting and walked to my daughters.
"River, Song, Jazz, what do you need?" I asked them in a very polite tone. Normally whenever River needed something, she would find me.
"Actually dad, there is something that we have to show you. Melody, you can show him now." Melody? Who was Melody? I saw River look at Jazz and figured it out. So Jazz wanted to be called Melody. It was a nice name for her. What I saw took me by surprise. Melody transformed into a ghost right before my eyes. How was this possible? I began thinking about all the ways on how she could have become a ghost.
"Dad, no doubt that you are thinking how. I will tell you how." I looked at River knowing that she was going to give me the answer that I needed.
"I went to the Ghost Zone and grabbed some yellow and green ecto-plasm. I then used some of my ecto-DNA and I combined all three ingredients. I made sure that they were carefully combined when I did it. I grabbed a syringe and asked Melody here if she wanted to be a half-ghost. She said that she did want to become a half-ghost because she wants to help me protect the people that she also cares about as well. That is how she became a half-ghost." I looked at my three daughters and I smiled. I was happy to know that my family was growing.
