She quickly
grabbed the jar, with only half of what she started with left.
She carefully put the leftovers in her pocket and made her way
back to the Kellys.
After what seemed like centuries, she finally arrived to see
Ann sat on one side of the couch while Jimmy was on the
opposite side. Jimmy started nibbling on her nails with
anticipation.
'Should I approach her before Kira comes back? Then I'll
scratch her eyes out and get Ann for myself' Jimmy pondered
and let out an audible giggle.
"Ok, you've been acting really strange. I've wanted to
set things straight with you... You alright?" Ann asked,
glaring at her friend.
'Oh my gosh... she's talking to me. Act cool. Act cool!'
Jimmy's heart raced.
Ann scooted near Jimmy's side of the sofa. Jimmy felt
pressured and turned to her, made eye contact and bluntly
stated "I don't like how close you are sitting to
me."
"See Jimmy, this is what I'm talking about. One minute,
you're totally in love with me or something, the next you're
talking to me like I'm a madwoman. What's wrong with you? Need
a doctor?" Ann asked nicely.
But Jimmy persisted. "I don't like how close you are
sitting to me."
"Huh?" Was all Ann could say.
"I DON'T LIKE HOW CLOSE YOU ARE SITTING TO ME!"
"Jimmy... chill man. It's alright." Ann backed off.
"THIS IS THE UNIVERSAL SIGN OF STOP. NEVER DROP THE
HAND." Jimmy advised himself and stuck his hand in front
of him. He slowly got up and kept the hand up for Ann to see.
He gently walked away towards the stairs.
Jessica raised an eyebrow in confusion, still watching the
little argument at a safe distance. 'What an idiot' she
thought as she saw her chance and followed Jimmy towards the
stairs. She sprinkled the remains of the fairy dust on Jimmy,
praying desperately that this time, it would work.
Jimmy felt like a gust of new wind swirled around him. It made
him feel easy and free-spirited. The pink fairy dust poured
all over him, from his head to toe. He sneezed in reflex from
the dust, suddenly forgetting everything that happened. He
looked around in confusion and in seconds, he resumed back to
normal.
He saw pink dust all over him and sighed, not knowing exactly
why there was pink dust on him in the first place. This must
be an early sign of Alzheimer. He didn't bother trying to make
sense of it as he walked down the stairs, also forgetting why
he was heading up in the first place. He looked around and
found Ann in the living room, staring at him funny.
"Hey Ann?" Jimmy swung by the kitchen and tossed an
apple to Ann.
Ann raised an eyebrow in confusion. It was like he had two
personalities. One minute, he was all giggly, second minute,
he's all-protective and now he's... well... rather normal.
Fine, he had three personalities.
Jimmy noticed the pale colour on Ann's face. "What's
wrong? You alright?"
"I'm fine, but what's wrong with you? You just told me
off and five minutes ago, you were all giggly. Are YOU
okay?" Ann slowly spoke as if Jimmy couldn't understand.
"Yeah... I'm fine... but I can't remember what happened
for... the last couple hours." Jimmy shook his head
absentmindedly and reached over to grab an apple from the
fruit basket nearby.
"What was the last thing you remember?" Ann looked
mortified.
"The prank we did on Angelo with the phone and the pillow
fight. Why?" Jimmy pondered.
"You were acting kind of strange after that." Ann
tried to put Jimmy's prior behavior into delicate, less harsh
words, rather then "Damn boy, you were screwed!"
"Really? All I know is pink dust, kind of like confetti,
was all over me when I was on the stairs and I don't remember
anything before that." Jimmy stated, taking a big bite
the apple.
"Well... as long as you resume back to normal, that's
good." Ann finished off, slowly inching away from Jimmy.
"Whew! That was the only good thing I've done today!
Maybe good stuff will start happening now!" Jessica
sighed with relief, but quickly frowned when she realized
another problem. "Uh oh... I gotta put the last of the
fairy dust to good use," she said as she realized that
there was only a fourth of fairy dust left.
She pouted as she read the instructions on the bottom of the
jar "JUST A SPRINKLE WILL NOT CURE, AND ONE MUST SNEEZE
AFTER THE DUST IS APPLIED, OR NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. AT LEAST
HALF A JAR HEALS A MORTAL. Jessica sighed again and turned her
attention back to the odd people who lived in the house.
"Here you go baby, eat it up now, Huns" Angelo
smiled as he fed Finborr goose liver pâté.
Jimmy heard Angelo's cooing voice. 'Kira must be here' he
thought. He approached the kitchen and surprised Angelo behind
the counters.
"Ha! Gotcha! I knew you and... FINBORR?" Jimmy's
eyes widen as big as saucers.
"Jim! You're going to scare my Finborr" Angelo
cuddled Finborr in his arms.
"Wait... what is wrong with this picture? You hate
Finborr" Jimmy pointed out.
"I can't believe I ever hated something this
precious." Tears welded up in Angelo's eyes.
"I'll leave you two alone." Jimmy shook his head and
knew something was wrong. He headed upstairs to rest his head,
deciding that a nap would probably help.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Ann gleefully pranced her way to
the door and opened it. There, she saw the ever-so-beautiful
Kira before her, beaming brightly. Kira was wearing a one
strap black tank top with khakis coloured pants. She shone a
smile over him.
"Hi... decided yet?" Ann asked with anxiety.
"I have to talk to you." Kira tugged her sweater and
headed inside.
Ann walked Kira to the living room and sat close together. She
rested her long lingering fingers on Kira's soft delicate
hands. Ann couldn't help but smile, at the sight of her
beautiful princess.
"Ann... you've been great to me. I don't know how I can
ever thank you for being there for me... "Kira began.
"... But. There is always a but right?" Ann quickly
took her hands away.
"If I'm dating you, I wouldn't just be dating YOU. I'd be
dating Angelo's fans too. I can't stand the pressure of being
known as "A slut who picked up Angelo's girlfriend."
That would be wrong... except for the beautiful part."
Kira had sadness in her hazel coloured eyes.
"How do you know how the fans will react? Just because
I've dated Angelo, doesn't mean the media will take it in
different ways. And the fans will be happy because they will
have their Angelo back. Be with me... please?" Kira
pleaded with his transparent green eyes.
Ann couldn't help but nod. Kira felt used and betrayed with
Angelo... but with Ann? It was almost like a fairy tale…
and new experience. Tears formed in her eyes and she leaned
towards Ann delicious thin lips. She craved for the sweetness
and the tenderness of it. Ann leaned to meet her lips. They
both felt free as they touched.
Jessica felt a warm smile creep to her face as she watched Ann
and Kira kiss... it was like a soap opera. Suddenly
remembering that her duty was to return things back to normal,
she quickly held her breath, closed her eyes and blindly threw
a fourth of the leftover fairy dust onto the unaware couple.
The fairy dust fell upon Ann and Kira like drifting snow. It
was almost as pretty as a fairy tale. It was thought to be
beautiful when...
The pink fairy dust fell upon aNN and Kira like drifting snow,
breaking the Cupid's spell on the two without warning. Kira
opened her eyes as she felt a twitch coming to her nose, and
without warning, she sneezed right on Ann while still locked
to her lips. Ann quickly backed away, but before she could
react to the snot on her face, she herself sneezed in reflex.
Both of them blinked blankly at each other as Ann wiped off
her face. A long moment passed by, with no reaction from
either of them. Looks of pure disgust slowly crawled to their
faces as they realized what had just happened.
"EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! KIRA JUST FRENCHED
ME!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ann screamed in horror as she started
spitting out the horrible taste in her mouth. It took all of
her power to keep herself from vomiting all over the floor.
"MAITE COOOOOTIES! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Kira shrieked
she shot up and ran towards the washroom to rinse her mouth
thoroughly.
It was a typical scene you'd expect in a kindergarten
playground, but of course, that's not the setting here. Ann
ran right into the kitchen and vomited in the sink, in front
of a still confused Jimmy.
"Ann!" Jimmy exclaimed as he rushed over to his
friend to see if she was ok. "What the hell
happened?"
"I kissed... the witch... a girl…" she
complained as she stood up shakily, and felt the urge to
throw-up again at even the mere thought of it.
"Who?? Is it Kira???"
"Don't say it, please" Ann asked, her face slightly
green. She clutched her stomach in pain as she stumbled away
from the sink, groaning in pain.
That was when Paddy ran towards Jimmy and Ann, with Finborr
trailing behind him and Angelo chasing after Finborr.
"What happened? I heard screaming from Kira and Ann
and…" Paddy skidded to a stop when he caught the
sight of Ann, a tint of sea green, clutching his stomach.
"Girl, you look like you swallowed a toad" he
pointed out.
"Uuuuggghh, shoot me now..." Ann pleaded as she
collapsed onto the floor with a dull thud.
Jimmy frowned as he walked over to Ann's limp body, and nudged
him with is foot. "Ann, are you still alive?" he
asked. Unfortunately, he got no reply.
"Poke her some more" Paddy suggested.
Jimmy knelt down next to his fallen friend and poked her on
the shoulder gingerly. "You think we should get her to a
hospital?" Jimmy asked, when Ann still didn't show any
signs of intelligence or life.
"Nah, she'll be fine" Angelo reassured as he picked
up Finborr and hugged him tightly. The poor dog whimpered and
turned to Paddy, staring at him with humongous black eyes,
pleading for a saviour.
"Angelo, keep you'd better keep that dog on a leash,
before he starts humping my leg again. I swear, I'll fry the
dog for lunch if he does ANYTHING near me" Paddy warned,
stepping far away from the both of them.
"But my Finborr just wants to kiss you!" Angelo
cooed as he walked towards Paddy, cradling the little pug in
his arms. Paddy backed away cautiously, not letting Angelo and
his evil dog come anywhere near him.
"ANGELO! PUT DOWN THAT DOG AND COME HERE NOW!" a
loud shriek was heard. Angelo jumped from the sudden noise,
and accidentally dropped Finborr to the floor. Fortunately,
the dog was quick-witted and landed on its feet gracefully.
Angelo spun around to see Kira storming towards him angrily,
steam spurting from her ears.
"ANGELO GABRIEL KELLY! I heard you said that you didn't
care if I broke up with you. Well, that's WRONG!" she
screamed as she marched right up to him and glared him right
in the eye. Angelo shriveled up, suddenly terribly afraid of
the loud and scary girlfriend.
"You know what?!" she continued scolding. "I
broke up with you and kissed Ann to make you jealous. And
seeing that you were nothing but that, I want to end this
relationship PERMENANTLY this time" she yelled.
Jessica, who was still standing by saw her chance and
sprinkled some of the pink dust over Angelo. Almost sure that
it will work this time, she smiled as she watched the dust
fall gracefully over his head like rain.
Angelo took a deep breath, and sneezed as Kira continued her
pointless babbling. Everything seemed to blank out from his
brain as he blinked and adjusted his eyes on her, talking
quickly and with many hand motions.
"... so I want you to sign a contract clearly stating
that everything of mine will be returned to me by July 23rd,
and vice versa" she concluded, smiling sweetly and
folding her hands together in front of her.
That was when Angelo leaned forward and kissed her without
warning. Kira was about to push back, but hesitated. Instead,
she closed her eyes and relaxed. She missed the feel of his
lips against hers... she missed the sound of his voice... she
missed... him.
Jessica jumped up in joy to see that her fairy dust worked
again. She turned around to see Paddy running frantically,
trying to escape the yelping Finborr who was trailing shortly
behind him with his short legs. Deciding to finally put Paddy
out of his misery, she reached into the jar to pull out some
more pink dust, when she didn't feel any powder underneath her
fingertips. Looking down in the jar, she dropped her jaw when
she realized that the jar was empty. She turned the jar upside
down and shook it, but nothing came out.
Her heart started to race. This was it... she was going to
Hell for sure. Jessica was on the brink of fainting, she felt
a sudden presence of someone familiar. She spun around, and
her face lit up as she saw a confused David walk in with a lei
hanging from his neck.
"DAAAAAAAAVID!" she screamed as she ran and jumped
on the puzzled cupid. David stepped back to keep his balance,
and coughed.
"Yo...You're... cho... king... me.." he said in
between breaths. Jessica blushed deeply as she let go.
"How was your vacation?" she asked politely, trying
to avoid any questions arising from David.
"It was good, but... what happened?" he questioned
suspiciously.
Jessica hid the empty jar behind her back quickly.
"Nothing. Nothing at all," she lied.
David rolled his eyes in disbelief. "Girl, I'm a cupid, I
know everything that happens involving love."
She sulked and stared at the ground guiltily. "I... sorta...
tried to do your job, but missed every time I tried to hit
someone with the arrow and people fell in love with the wrong
things..." she mumbled.
He sighed, turning around just in time to see Paddy run past
him frantically, screaming "MAD DOG! MAD DOG!" in
terror. Finborr trailed behind him with pink hearts in his
eyes, panting happily.
"Lemme guess... the dog's in love with the poor
fellow" he sighed.
Jessica nodded, never tearing her eyes away from the floor.
David rolled up the sleeves of his white sweater and
skillfully swept up Finborr as the tiny dog ran past him. It
tried to squirm out of the cupid's hands, but was unsuccessful
as it whined sadly. David stroked it softly, scratching it on
the head affectionately.
Suddenly, Finborr let out a tiny dog sneeze. David put the dog
down on the floor again, and Finborr blinked curiously. It
cocked its head to the side in confusion, and trotted off in
another direction. David turned his attention to Jessica,
standing behind him, jaw almost dropped to the floor.
"How... how'd you do that?!" she stuttered, shocked.
All David had to do was pet him, and the spell was broken.
Jessica had to find every spell in the book to cure the
others.
"Cupid's touch" he smiled. Jessica pouted and folded
her arms across her chest, disappointed. "So... is that
it?" he asked her.
Jessica shrugged. "I think so. Everything's back to
normal! I'm exhausted, let's go back home" she suggested.
David agreed as he stepped over Ann's unconscious body, walked
through the kitchen with Jessica by his side, and past Angelo
and Kira.
Just as David and Jessica left, Joey slid into the room
wearing a pair of leather pants and a black beater.
"DAMN, I am sooooo sexy!" he boasted as he checked
his reflection in a pocket mirror, slicking his hair back
smoothly.
"You ever have a feeling like we forgot something?"
Jessica asked him as soon as they arrived back to David's
home, which was a total disaster from Jessica's rummaging.
"...No" he replied as he scowled at the incredible
mess. He rolled his eyes tiredly, and turned around again as
he exited his home.
"Where you going?" Jessica asked innocently. David
stopped in his tracks, and but didn't turn around to face his
angel friend.
"I'm going back on vacation. Coming home back to this
mess really ruins my mood... again" he sighed as he
continued off again.
Jessica screamed bloody murder. "NOOOOOOOOO!!! Not again!
You can't! We've been though this before!" she argued,
resisting the urge to pull out her hair in frustration.
David shrugged. "You did a good job substituting for
me... do it again" he suggested. "The organizer's on
the table, just press the blue button to see who's your next
job. If you have any problems... don't contact me.
Please" he said as he left.
She tried to stop him, but he was already long gone. Jessica
sighed as she stormed over to the fluffy white couch in the
corner, and flopped down. She immediately shot back up when
she felt a sharp pain on her bottom. Rubbing her butt
gingerly, she frowned when she realized she had sat on an
action figure.
Rolling her eyes, she realized that stubborn David won't come
back, and that she needed to fill in for him again. She
carefully made her way across the room to the table, avoiding
stray love potions and such scattered on the ground. Picking
up the organizer, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear
as she read the next name off the list:
Maite Star Kelly
.........

END---
