A/N Thanks for you reviews and suggests.
Ch 65 The Nix
"So how hot is she" Al asked Jake as he helped him with his tie.
"Smoking hot" Jake answered.
"Nice," Al commented, "You know it may be easier if you place that accessory under your shirt" Al suggested have some trouble getting the tie just right.
Jake took Al's suggesting and Al was finally able to tie the tie.
"So where did you learn to do a tie" Jake asked.
"I'm a high profile, rich kid. I've been putting on a tie for business and high society events since I was 4" Al explained as he and Jake walked out from the back into the front of the shop.
The bell for the shop's front door rang and Jake and Al looked at the person to come in.
Al's jaw dropped, he quickly remembered his up bring and closed his mouth.
"I so envy you" Al whispered to Jake.
Jasmine stood there in a short red dress and a charming smile on.
"Jasmine you look great," Jake said offering her his arm. "Hope you don't mind we have to make a stop to pick up Al's date."
"Hold it," Al said.
When Jake and Jasmine turned around they where assaulted by multiple flashes of a camera on Al's cell phone.
"I'm making this my wallpaper" Al said with a smile.
~At the dance~
"So you wanna dance" Spud asked.
"Yo, Spud just because I went to the dance with you doesn't mean I have to do anything else" Trixie said to Spud.
"Wow" Spud said seeing Jake walk in with Jasmine on his arm.
All the boys in the building stopped what the where doing to look at the girl that just entered. Most of the boys abandoned their dates to talk to the drop dead gorgeous girl to come through the doors.
"Hey you got a sister" one boy asked.
"Or even a half sister" another asked.
While Jasmine was getting compliments from almost every boy, Jake was bragging, Al was at the table with his date who was more interested in consoling her girl friend who was left alone on the dance floor the moment Jasmine walked in.
Al now boded since his date had other interests he flips open his cell and went through his photos and noticed in every photo Jasmine's eyes were red.
Suddenly Jasmine started panicking urging Jake she needed to leave but Jake was to busy lapping up the attention he was getting.
Al looked up through the sky light and noticed the moon was about to reach the center of the sky.
'Okay girl with red eyes, needs to leave before the moon reaches the center' Al thought.
"By Poseidon's trident" Al yelled standing up and slamming his hands on the table getting a quick look by his date before she went back to her girl friend. "She's a nix" Al said his panic rising as he knew in less the two minutes hell would break loses.
Jasmine decided to make a run for home when she was stopped by Brad.
"Hey babe how about a dance" Brad said dragging Jasmine onto the dance floor.
Jasmine growled at Brad her eyes turning red.
"Grrr to you too" Brad said before Jasmine sucked out his soul.
While that was happening Al pulled Jake off his high horse and off to the side.
"Jake do you know what Jasmine is" Al asked.
"Uh I don't get it" Jake answered.
"She's a nix" Al exclaimed.
"Bless you" Jake said.
"No she's a soul sucking monster" Al said.
"Does that look like soul sucking monster to you" Jake asked mentioning to Jasmine then saw her suck out the soul of another random student and fell into line with the others that had their souls sucked out walking around like zombies.
Jake ran over to Trixie. "Trixie whatever you do don't let Spud dance with Jasmine" Jake told her.
"Yeah right like I'm letting Spud dance with another girl while he's with me" Trixie said as Jake went back to Al.
Trixie looked to see Spud looked out of it. She waved her hand in front of Spud's face but no response.
"Spud" Trixie yelled hitting him with her purse "snap out of it."
"Al" Jake called not seeing him where he left him.
Jake was pulled under a table by Al. Al had already called LS while Jake not knowing called Fu.
"Fu my date just sucked the souls out of the entire student body, talk about killing the party vibe" Jake said to the dog.
"What" Fu asked?
"He took a nix" LS said on the phone with Al coming over to Fu.
"O kid your dates a soul sucking monster" Fu said.
"Yeah, I'm starting to see that" Jake said.
"You don't want to know what happens when the moon reaches the center of the sky" Fu informed.
Suddenly Jasmine became a monster. She had the lower half of a snake the upper half of a human but with green skin. Her arms were talons and she had feathered wings on her back.
"I think I just found out" Jake said looking out from under the table. "What do I do" Jake asked finically.
"Just keep her busy we'll be over with help soon" Fu said hanging up the phone.
"Great keep her busy" Jake said getting out from under the table.
"Good luck" Al said still under the table.
"You're not going to help" Jake asked.
"Hello I'm a water elf you're a dragon, no question here who's better qualified besides she's your date" Al said staying where he was.
"Dragon up" Jake said as he went dragon.
Jake flies forward to punch her but was knocked back by her tail. He landed on a table breaking it.
"Okay try this" Jake said breathing out fire.
The nix dodged but got the tip of her right wing singed causing her to let out an angry roar like in the sewers. She came at Jake talons ready but Jake gave her a taste of her own medicine and hit her with his tail in the side sending her into the wall. She got right back up and flew at Jake.
The two were exchanging blows when she got her tail around Jake's ankle. With a quick yank he fell on his back and the wind was knocked out of him.
Jake was trying to get his breath back but the nix wasn't going to wait for Jake to get it back and posed for attack.
"Hey, you she-devil" Al yelled throwing the whole bowl of punch at her.
Then Al used his water bending to cause the punch to freeze her.
"Nice" Jake said getting his breath back and getting up.
Then the nix with great strength freed her self.
"You know punch is only part water so it doesn't freeze as well" Al said to Jake before ducking out under the table.
"My hero" Jake joked.
"Hey, kid" Fu said coming into the gym followed by LS.
Fu threw Jake a potion vial; Jake uncorked it and drank it.
"No kid, you weren't supposes to drink it she was" Fu explained.
You could hear the sound of some one smacking their forehead came from under a table.
The potion took away Jake's powers and he reverted back to human.
The nix shot forward and pinned Jake to the ground.
'Now what' was Jake could think but then an idea struck him.
Jake wiggled a hand free pulled off the necklace, threw in a trash can, and then let out a long string of dragon breath.
The smell of breath was enough to knock the nix out and cause her to change back to her human looking form. Going back to her hotter form caused her to loss the souls she sucked and they returned to the bodies.
"We'll keep her at the shop till morning" LS said as he and Fu picked up Jasmine and carried her out of the gym.
All the students minus Al were wondering around the gym going 'what happened, what was I doing, and the like.'
Jake quickly ran to the DJ's microphone.
"And that is why they call it the hypnotize dance people," Jake said "every body howlar."
With out the necklace Jake dragon breath slipped out with every word.
It was clear to Jake time to leave until he was stopped by Rose.
"Hey, Jake" Rose called.
"Rose, sorry about Brad kinda leaving ya and all" Jake said.
"Brad said he only asked me out to go with the prettiest girl in school" Rose answered.
"I guess we both came here with the wrong dates" Jake said.
"Well, the dance isn't over yet one dance" Rose asked.
"Love too" Jake said before Al pulled Jake over for a second.
"You might want this back" Al said handing him the necklace he'd thrown in the trash.
"Thanks" Jake slipped to Al before he went to dance with Rose.
~Later~
"Sorry about the whole sucking the souls out of your friends" Jasmine said as Jake walked her home.
"No it was my fault you tried to tell me it was time to leave but I wouldn't listen" Jake apologized. "I'm just glad everything's back to normal."
~Back with Spud and Trixie~
"Dude, I could of sworn I was dude" Spud said in Trixie's body at he looked at him self in a compact mirror.
