This fella Jerry was a sneaky one, his innocent looks could fool anyone but Jean knew that he was a dove with the cunningness of a snake.
At first, during combined combat lessons he'd somehow try to create a conversation between them and Jack while totally acting like it was but a coincidence, fooling others but him and Jack.
Jack was a smart guy and knew this but went along anyways even cooperating with his arch-enemy, Jessica, he seemed to have a thing for that Jerry guy.
Whenever Jack had free time, Jerry would always manage to hook him up with them, his ways were always sneaky. If it wasn't sneaking a suggestion of a sibling dinner to Jessica, it'd be tricking the simple-minded Jennifer into wanting a duel or making the bubblehead Jason force them all to an outing!
His methods were precise, smart, and sneaky and he, Jean had always wondered about his purpose here, he refused to believe he was amnesic but what was he doing delivering himself into slavery?
Ten years wasn't a small time, could it be that he was on the run because of a crime and taking refuge with them? Or was he really broke and starved and they were his only option? Why exactly was he here….?
Or...? He was here for Jack? Was that even possible? What could he possibly have with Jack? Scratch that, probably not the reason.
He had decided to leave it be, since he wasn't really doing anything suspicious anyways, maybe he was really a poor amnesic youth with no place to go.
That was his thought until his knowledge of robotics shocked him thoroughly.
"Who are you? Do you really have amnesia? What's your mission here? Huh? What do you want with Jack? Eh?" Jean questioned seriously.
"Second young master? I don't understand," Jerry said adamantly meanwhile...
"Wow this little brat really did his homework, didn't he?" Dina thought while giggling silly internally, she liked smart kids even though most of them were snobby.
"Don't act up, I won't tell anyone, just tell me how you fixed this robot, okay?" Jean said acting all domineering.
"2nd young master," Jerry said looking very confused.
"Fine, if you want an advantage over me just know that am banned from using any robotics till my adult age, so just say the truth," Jean said stunning Jerry, he was ready to go that far just to...…?
"Second young master, I don't understand a thing of what you're saying so please don't try to blackmail me. I'm sorry if I have offended you in any way, I'll try to steer clear of your way," Jerry said coldly.
Dina sneered internally, did he think she was easy to trick? Even if Zero didn't tell her that he was recording their conversation, she was sensible enough to know that a kid like this was very dangerous, he would either have it by trick or force, if coaxing her didn't work then it would switch to blackmail.
No matter what the deal was, she, Dina, had to reject it because, in the end, the mission was always first.
Jean grimaced in anger, Jerry was really seriously not having it with him huh, did he somehow find out that he was hiding a recorder? What else was he to do? Damn!
"May I leave now 2nd young master?" Jerry asked with an apathetic look making Jean's face fall.
"Yes," Jean asked while gritting his teeth, either way, this plan was a failure.
***
After that, Jean mulled over his next decision for a long time, what was he to do? Jerry was too careful and wouldn't dare slip and that meant his chance for blackmail was omitted, then the next would be gaining his trust but how would he do that?
How, how?
Yes! Jack! Jerry really cared about Jack even if it wasn't in a romantic way, he really cared a lot, then...
"Bam! I've got it, no way he'll reject it!" Jean beamed from ear to ear.
***
The sleepover came and went, and as expected, Jerry wasn't allowed to it to the bitterness of him and the maids, Dina had wanted to hang out with girls at least after so long but had to endure.
She suddenly wished she was back at school with friends and all, and as if a genie fell from the sky- a 12-year-old genie, her wish came true, not exactly but kinda close.
"What? You can do that?" Jerry asked in disbelief, the Johnsons were actually brave enough to let Jack go to high school? And show him to the world?
For the first time for Jean, Jerry showed a real surprised expression apart from all the fake ones he had shown, this time he was truly shocked.
Glancing at Jean, Dina asked Zero to jam any recorder but found out to her surprise that Jean had come out clean this time, this kid was really serious.
Then maybe...?
For Jack then! Even if this deal leads to unexpected dangers to my mission, I can handle it! For Jack! He needs friends!
"I'll make the deal when you fulfill your part, and yes, I fixed the robot. As payment, I'll send you the app to use and control the robot, and my ways of fixing the robot. Complete your own part and we have a deal, SECOND YOUNG MASTER." Jerry said with emphasis on the last phrase to show just how serious he was.
Jean better not let him down or else...
"Deal," Jean said with a happy smile, "Oh, and call me Jean!"
"...That's still a long shot 2nd young master but with time we'll see," Jerry said in a more friendly voice.
And that was how Jerry and Jack became acquainted.
***
"Tell me, why did you lie to me?" Jack turned and said, hatefully while slapping off Jerry's hand from his shirt.
Jerry felt the sting from the slap but most of all the sting in his heart, what exactly did he do to anger Jack? Was it the Jessica incident or was he still hung up on Jason having the key to his room? But he had explained.
"How....?" Jerry asked with a shaky voice which Jack sneered at, cornering him he slammed him to the wall, trapping him to it with his hands on each side.
'OH MY GOD! IT'S THE LEGENDARY KABEDON!! AH!! I GOT KABEDONED BY A HOTTIE!! WAIT!' Dina suddenly thought, 'NO! Fujoushiness has poisoned me! How to get my innocent mind again? Urgent and Online QAQ.'
"You said that Jean had your key because you gave him to hold in order to have access to call you anytime we were invited for dinner?? But guess what I heard, you trust him so much that you gave it to him?? 'I trust you the most' 'Oh that, Jack just found out about my natural eye color, not much of a problem'," Jack said in a mimicking way showing Jerry's voice and seeing Jerry get paler and paler he smiled in pure rage and continued.
"He already knows your natural eye color, I bet he visits you at night but you somehow tweak the security camera to not see him, who are you even? Do you really have amnesia? Why are you even here? What is your purpose?!" Jack screamed.
"I'M HERE FOR YOU IDIOT!" Jerry who had heard enough screamed back impatiently.
If there was one thing Dina hated- it was arguments, this was one of the major reasons she had never entered any deep relationship with anyone except the one that gave her the trauma of arguments, Annabelle and Jackson of course.
Annabelle was a beautiful black American girl who Dina met one time her mum had finally convinced her to leave her room. They had become friends and then besties, before IT happened.
Long story cut short, that relationship didn't end well due to some messed up argument and ever since then, Dina was never the one to start an argument and she always cut off any potential threat of it happening while always getting out from anyone she already found herself in at all means.
She was always known as a peacemaker, Miss Considerate but no one knew why, even her mum. Annabelle was the shadow that hunted her, that made her the kind, peace-loving, and gentle person she was, and the reason she never argued back no matter what.
For fear of what her mouth might cause, just like how it ruined her and Annabelle's life.
