Desiree closed the viewing window, happy to have seen Daniel, Ember, and the little one doing well. When she checked up on them a few days ago, she was surprised that they were being confronted by a couple of gladiators for what seemed to be no reason. So when the little one made the wish to get rid of them, Desiree happily obliged. She also felt satisfaction at watching Daniel and the girls take down that oaf Maximus.

Then there was the moment she caught just now with the three on the tour bus. She couldn't help the warm smile that appeared as she witnessed how close Daniel and Ember were, which is why she had closed her viewing window to give the two lovebirds some privacy.

"Okay! I think I have it this time!"

The genie turned to where the children were, anticipating Daniel's next message telling them of where he had gone this time. Jasmine looked especially pleased about it since she was allowed to place bets again.

"What do you have, Jazz?" questioned Sam.

"Where Danny went next on his vacation!"

"And where would that be? Rome?" teased Kitty with a smirk, taking a jab at the eldest Fenton child's obsession with the city.

This earned her a glare from Jazz. "For your information, I decided to place my bets on a different city this time. I know Danny will go to Rome at some point, but this time I bet on Buenos Aires! And I do NOT have a problem!"

Desiree could already see the disappointment coming. She was glad that Spectra wasn't here. That accursed woman would be using Jasmine as a power battery if she were.

"Well we're about to find out if you're right, Jazz," said Tucker as his phone went off.

Finally went to a place I've been interested in for a while. The best-known place for art, religion, and anything made with tomato sauce.

The series of photos that greeted the teens consisted of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, the Pantheon, Piazza del Campidoglio, the Capitoline Wolf, the Trevi Fountain, and the Colosseum.

The teens slowly backed away as Jazz stood there looking at the photos with a blank look, her knuckles turning white with how hard she was clenching her fists.

"All in favor of getting the hell out of here before she blows, say aye," said Johnny as quiet as possible.

"Aye!" replied Tucker and Kitty.

Valerie rolled her eyes before she attempted to calm Jazz down. "Jazz? You okay?"

"…"

"Jazz?"

"…The one time I bet on a different city and Danny FINALLY decides to go to Rome," muttered out Jazz. She then glared at the photos as she hissed out. "Danny owes me money!"

As Valerie and Sam tried to explain to the older girl that it wasn't Danny's fault that she lost another bet, Desiree looked on in a small amount of amusement as she took a sip of her tea. Jack and Maddie were going to have their hands full when they got back.

INTERLUDE END

-:-

Yeah, some of you kinda already figured out what was going to happen with Jazz. It was a long setup, but I couldn't help myself with the punchline.

This also marks chapter 40 of this story. Huzzah!
