Annabelle was also one of the few reasons she had taken on this mission, she wanted to learn about time and space laws, but she wasn't asking for much.
All she wanted was to gain the ability to look at the past from an omniscient viewpoint, not her viewpoint nor anyone else but like a god looking down. She needed it to find the truth about the past, that was why she had taken this mission, to find two truths.
The truth, what was it? The truth, what… was it?
Jerry grabbed Jack's head and placed his forehead and sighed deeply, he removed all façade and stared at Jack, pink clashed with green and they both glared at each other.
"Jack, Jack Johnson, do you really want to know the truth? Do you think because I said I trusted Jean meant I did? How sure are you about the kind of trust I mean? Do you think you deserve to know my true identity? Are you worthy? Jack, when you become worthy, I'll tell you EVERYTHING.
"I trust Jean for only business reasons, he held my hand to give me something and I laughed because I got what I wanted from him. Yeah, Jack, I was only glad, he sneaked in because you'll become paranoid if he came in normally, for what our business is... it's strictly confidential, sorry.
"I came here for you and only you Jack, reason? Why don't you find out yourself if you're soooo feisty," Dina sighed externally before pulling the stunned Jack into a hug as she continued.
"Little Jackie, I'm afraid that if I took off my mask, you wouldn't like me, that's why I want you to take it off yourself and face whatever you see. I only show any side needed, if you really want my trust... EARN IT and I might just take it off for you. You're the only one, the only one that has my permission to do that so stop being so jealous!"
Jerry finished and took a deep breath, he had talked a lot of BS, either way, it was up to Jack to understand it and take his next decision.
Jack managed to wriggle out as he stared up at his soft pink eyes and warm smile of Jerry and felt for the first time that he had never met the real Jerry ever before, at this thought, he became really displeased.
Dina felt Jack as her family, she trusted Jack, to a certain extent, it wasn't like their bestie status was a joke or something. Trust had to be there or it would really be a joke, and that was why she said all this, if she hadn't seen Jack as a bestie and had a certain trust for him, pulling out a new mask to fool him was a simple thing for her.
BUT, she wanted to test Jack, if he failed, she knew just the right mask to put on for him.
She had a mask for each person and knew how to control it perfectly, the mask made specifically for her mum, one for her step-dad, one for her friends, one for her coursemates. When she met Jackson and fell for him she had thought he had managed to rip off her mask and her real self had finally shown.
That was why when Zero told her all that, made it known to her how unreal her actions were for Jackson, how... automated it was, she didn't want to hear it, she didn't because she feared that...
Her love was Jackson was also a mask, a mask someone had put on her without her knowledge, a mask that controlled her and all her actions for Jackson. It was too scary, to love with all your heart only to find out that, you were fooled all along.
'Too fucking scary....'
***
"A mask... I wonder just how you'd be when I rip it open Jer, would you still be who I know or another person altogether? I don't know but I know for sure that I will find out what's underneath that mask at all cost and then I'll be worthy, more than worthy of not only owning your trust but your all," Jack who had been patted on the shoulder by Jerry and left to mull over his words said while thinking about Jerry's words.
He wasn't sure about what he thought about Jerry but one thing was for sure, he wanted to know the real person behind that baggage of masks.
***
For the next week, Jerry drew a kind of line with Jack making him immensely displeased, but after that week everything went back to normal as if all that happened was but a dream, but Jack refused to see it as a dream, he hid it deep in his mind.
One day... one day, he'll become worthy of Jer's real trust!
"The beach?" Mr. Johnson asked with a frown, he faced Mrs. Johnson who smartly faced away from him.
"Yes papa, pretty please? It's a siblings' outing, Pwease~~~," Jessica said while trying to sell meng to her father.
"I don't know, you kids? Without us? ....not sure...….." Mr. Johnson said while hesitating until Jessica grabbed his right hand and looked at him with puppy eyes.
"Ahem! Sweety, what do you think?" Mr. Johnson said shifting the ball to Mrs. Johnson's court.
Mrs. Johnson stared at him indignant, what she got in return was a haughty smile making her slap him with a 'PA' on his back.
"Darling, you guys are too young," Mrs. Johnson started.
"Mom please~ PLEASE!!!" Jessica screeched pitifully.
***
"Yeah guys~, we're going to the beach next week!!!" Jessica said to her siblings and Jerry who were all in the entertainment room, playing games or other things, but they all seemed too busy to hear it making her aggrieved.
"Fuck! Bubble brain beat me!" Jennifer screamed hatefully while throwing away the game controller.
"Who're you calling bubble BRAIN?!" Jason shouted at her.
"Ya shouting at me?!" Jennifer asked glaring at him.
"Ye...." Jason was about to answer when he suddenly stopped because...
"Jennifer, Jason, aren't we all having so much FUN? Are you guys trying to start a fight?" Jack said with a scary glare making Jason and Jennifer shut up.
"Come to think of it, Jean, when are we going to officially start having our rut and heat period? You know, just asking," Jason asked with a naughty smirk
"Why? Want to start fucking already? Eh, big bro? Is your thing even th..." Jessica asked with a sneer on her cute face, she was still angry from being ignored.
"Shut it, woman! I asked you not!" Jason shouted hatefully at her.
"But she's right anyway, why do you wanna know?" Jack asked casually.
"Just... asking...." Jason said but Jennifer interrupted him.
"A pretty omega senior he had a crush on said once that he liked guys on rut because they were hot as fuck with all their dominance and others so Jason wanted to know about stuff," Jennifer spilled the beans with a teasing grin making Jason glaring angrily at her which she responded with a smirk.
"Oh, so it was to fuck," Jack added making Jason feel hopeless.
"Jerry..." Jason looked up with a wronged look on his face hoping that Jerry who was on his own in a corner watching anime with a silly grin on his face would comfort him.
"Jer?" Jason called at him again but he was far too gone, Jack glanced at Jerry from the corner of his eyes but continued fighting with Jean in the car race game.
Jason becoming curious went up to Jerry and reached out-
"Whatcha watching?" he said before swiping the phone from Jack's hand startling him.
"Hey don....!" Jerry screeched while helplessly trying to take back the phone when...
"Sasuke-san I love you!" a cute blonde with whiskers and blue eyes with a white shirt and black jeans said with a goofy smile on his face while straddling and pulling the tie of a hot black-haired suit-clad man with black eyes.
The black haired smirked before slightly licking the blonde at the ears making him flush red and said-
"You're mine, Naruto-chan!"
Jason: (⊙_⊙)
Jack: (ㆆ-ㆆ)
Jennifer: ㅍ_ㅍ
Jessica: (>\\\\\\<)
Jean: (Grade-A Straight Male) *disgust.gif*
Jerry: °.°•(((p(≧□≦)q)))•°.°
"AHHH!!!! AM SO SORRY!!!!" Jerry screeched.
***
"So you're a fudanshi! Ah! Am a fujoshi too~ let's be besties Jer~," Jessica said while staring with glittering eyes at Jerry.
"You guys are the rotten humans that ruin normal anime and turn them into another thing, ugh," Jean prejudiced harshly.
"Shut it! So what if we prefer Sasunaru?! There were meant to be!" Jessica argued.
"Sakura and Sasuke have a daughter named Sarada, give it up, you fools! They're just besties!!" Jean argued back, as a Naruto and Sasusaku fan at that, he refused to give in.
He believed that all Saku-any other ship that wasn't female should burn in hell, ugh! How he hated those rotten people who shipped his favorite character with males!
"AH!! Get lost, I'm still trying to condole Sakura for ruining my CP, don't make me hate her!!" Jessica shouted.
"A lot of people hate her anyway and guess what? It doesn't make their lives any better, HAHA," Jean said chuckling like a demon.
Dina: At times like this, you finally remember that in the end that they're still kids ( ´◡‿ゝ◡`)
"Guys, Forget this, it doesn't matter," Jack said coolly.
"IT DOES!!" Jean and Jessica shouted back.
Jack: Did these little...
Jerry saw that Jack whose face was about to get dark and decided to end the argument. How?
Simple, first attack the queen-
"Oh yeah, Jes, did you say we're going to the BEACH?!"
Drag in the loudmouth-
"Jason, I wonder how good your swimsuit is?!"
Start off a competition with Mrs. Alpha-
"Or who the best swimmer will be....."
Praise Sir. Jack-
"I bet it'll Jack,"
And finally, shove in Mr. Smarty pants-
"And don't forget to test the new equipment you wanted to taste out Jean, aye I can't wait to go to the beach! Who's with me?"
Everyone: ......
"What do you mean Jack?! Obviously, I'll be the winner!" Jennifer screeched.
"Yes, indeed that camera, I'll check out if I've managed to make it waterproof at last," Jean mumbled.
"Yes, yes, my swimsuit is blab la bla blab la," Jason blabbered.
"That was what I was telling you, guys, before! But either way, I got the PERMISSION!!" Jessica screeched.
"Little sis, you're the best!" Jack said while winking at Jessica making her feel really smug that her ice block big bro actually praised her.
Dina: Always works (^_~)
"In the end zero, they're still kids, just study their traits and find their weakness and you've got them. Unless you meet the ones that are true devils, those, after death, FEAR THEM."
Zero: I don't really get why little-shaped humans are dangerous, but sure.
