Jenny 8
After waiting for five days Jenny 4 and I finally fell in line for Jenny Numero's free consultation.
"We waited five days for a long line?" Jenny complained. "Just imagine what time we're gonna see Jenny again."
"Patience, Jenny," I told her. "For all we know, she probably thinks she's the only Jenny left so she might panic if she sees another one."
While we were in line we decided to play some games. Most of the ones we played were road games. We played Two Questions (because we got tired of it after two), "Frick, Marry, Kill" (our options were Hollywood superstar celebrity Ryan Reysling, male model Shawn o'Pierce, and boyband member Liall Tomran—we had very different options for each of them), Guess the Celeb (our hints were incredibly vague that neither of us understood who on earth we were trying to make each other guess), Truth or Truth (we can't do dares because we can't leave the line), "Rock, Paper, Scissors" (whoopdeedoo), and "What am I?" (an overly complicated game with no hints and you are only allowed to ask yes or no questions).
Two and a half hours later we were next.
Jenny and I walked in the room where the other Jenny was. There we saw Dr. Jenny Numero. She seemed less than thrilled to give us a checkup.
"Who are you two?" she asked, obviously absolutely terrified, as she climbed on the bed for the patients. "Why do you look just like me?"
"Relax," Jenny 4 said in a soothing manner. "We're just here for the consultation. Also, which Jenny are you?"
"I'm Jenny Numero, daughter of Dr. Geneva Numero," she replied. "Tell me who you are!"
I stepped forward with a smile. "I'm Jenny 8, and this is Jenny 4. Dr. Geneva hasn't told you about us?"
Jenny shook her head. "She told me I was her only child and that she loved me very dearly. I didn't know there were others."
"Where's Dr. Geneva now?" Jenny 4 asked.
"She's in Venice, Italy," Jenny replied.
Venice...we'd have to get plane rides for that, and only Jenny and Jenny 4 could afford those considering I'm jobless and I'm basically running away from authorities.
"How'd you get to Japan?" Jenny 4 asked Jenny Numero.
"I have a private jet that takes me all over the world," Jenny replied. "We can take that to go home."
Finally, we can get to the bottom of Jenny Numero's identity to see if she is one of us.
I looked at Jenny 4 and it looked like she and I were thinking the same thing.
"We have one stop to go to first," we said in unison."
Jenny blinked. "One more stop? Where?"
"Metro City."
8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8
Jenny Numero, Jenny 4, and I headed to the Habitat in the car Jenny Numero rented. While we were riding, Jenny 4 was crying.
"Tell me what's wrong," I said to her. "I might help you."
She wiped her tears and swallowed her sons. "I met a boy today and I might have just fallen for him. I don't even know him!"
"Oh," was all I could manage at the time.
Jenny 4 was genuinely upset and I was annoyed that I couldn't do anything to console her. I never had any guy problems. There was only one guy I actually liked, and his name is...
...JOHN CENA!
{A.N.: I am so sorry! I just thought it would be funny since we were here. Okay, under this note is the name of the guy Jenny 8 actually likes. At least who she likes in this story.)
...Dex Hamilton.
I was going to see him again and I started to feel nervous. There was a list of questions forming in my head. Questions like:
1. Is he still single?
2. If the answer to #1 is "no", what is her name?
3. If the answer to #2 is "he's not a 'her'", what's his name?
4. How do I talk to him?
5. How do I talk to him if he's taken?
6. If the answer to #1 is "yes", should I make a move?
As if some magic was cast upon us, we reached the Hamilton Habitat. Jenny Numero parked the car at a random clearing in front of the gates.
"How do we go in?" Numero asked.
"Easy," I replied. "Follow me."
The Jenny's followed me and we managed to get in unnoticed. We approached another door but someone managed to spot us.
"Strewth!" a familiar voice said.
I turned around and smiled as my eyes made contact with the one and only Dex Hamilton, alien entomologist.
"Dex!" I exclaimed in excitement as I ran towards him and wrapped my arms around him. "I missed you so much!—wait."
I release Dex from my embrace and backed away slowly as I went back to the Jenny's.
"Jenny 8," he said shocked but with a slight hint of pink on his cheeks. I began to feel my cheeks turn punk as well. "It's so good to see you again. Who are these lovely Jenny's?"
Jenny 4 tapped me on the shoulder. "He knows about the Jenny Program?"
I nodded. "Someone had to know, and you'll understand why."
Jenny 4 and Jenny Numero stepped forward.
"I am Doctor Jenny Numero," Numero said. "You were the one who saved me from that bug a few days ago, right?"
Dex nodded. "It's nice to meet you properly this time, Dr. Numero."
"I'm Jenny 4," Jenny said. "You've never met me, but I'm quite the big shot in Japan."
"That's cool!" Dex said with a smile. "What's your ability?"
Jenny lifted him off the ground with her pinky finger. "I was made with super strength. I became famous in Japan because I became a judo fighter!"
"Strewth, a real fighter!" Dex said happily.
"Where's Jenny?" I asked Dex, hoping he would be listening to me as he talked to the other Jenny's.
Jenny 4 slowly put him down and he walked over to me.
"Check if she's in the lab," he said to me. "I'll go with you."
My cheeks turned into an even deeper shade of pink, and I nodded. The four of us walked to the lab and Dex typed in the code to open the door. When the door was opened we saw Jenny 10 and Zap just about to kiss each other.
"Strewth!" went Dex.
"Madre Di Dio!" went Jenny Numero.
"Shimatta!" went Jenny 4.
"Oh my gosh!" went me.
The two of them looked in our direction and immediately moved away from each other.
"Speaking of reunions," Zap said just before he rolled his eyes.
Jenny 10 approached us Jenny's and hugged us one by one. "It's so great to see you guys!"
Once she finished hugging us, she pointed to Jenny 4 and Jenny Numero. "Which ones are you?"
"There's more?" Numero asked me.
I nodded.
"I'm Jenny 4, also known as judo fighter Shi!" Jenny 4 said happily.
"And I'm Doctor Jenny Numero," Numero replied. "I'm a chemist."
Jenny 10 smiled at her as she held her shoulder. "I think Dex told me about your encounter earlier."
"We make four Jenny's now!" Jenny 4 exclaimed in excitement.
Jenny 4's words saddened me a little. "I hope at least half of us actually survived. It would be a shame if it was just the four of us."
"How do you know if she's actually a Jenny?" Jenny 10 asked.
I shrugged. "I don't. What I do know is that we should be going to Venice to ask Dr. Geneva herself."
Out of nowhere an alarm rang throughout the Habitat.
"BAD NEWS!" Tung said as he arrived. "A ship just landed in the lake surrounding the Habitat!"
Dex was alarmed. "Zap, Tung, come with me! Jenny's, stay here and don't leave this room. Jenny, guard your sisters. Jenny 8, don't try to escape, please? Okay boys, let's go!"
When the boys left Jenny 4 turned to me with a grin. "Someone got a special mention!"
I swear I was as red as Dex's shirt when she said that. "That was not a special mention! He just knows me, that's all."
"From the looks of it," Jenny Numero said with a soft smile. "I think he likes you."
I was surprised by her words. When was Jenny Numero the type to tease?
"Jenny," I said as I turned to Jenny 10. "Say something!"
She crossed her arms. "This is the first time I've actually seen Dex this concerned about a girl before. He usually sees girls as equal to guys, so seeing him care this much means he cares about you, or he thinks you don't follow orders."
"Right," I replied. "He knows that he's not my boss, so he has to remind me to listen since technically I'm in his base. His base, his rules."
"Still means he cares," Jenny 4 added.
I pouted at her words. "Can we just forget about it? I don't wanna talk anymore."
We spent the next few minutes in silence before Dex, Zap, and Tung arrived...
...with two more people.
!?
Author's Note: Pivotal moment here for this fic, and I need to ask you guys something...in a few more chapters. By a few, I mean on chapter 13. Not gonna say much, but considering that we're all friends here, I'll tell you the subject of the upcoming question. It involves Jenny 8. You probably already know what the question is going to be, but I'm still not going to ask it here.
i promised I would try to post every Friday, right? And by the way, Merry Christmas! If you don't celebrate Christmas, then Merry Chanukah, Kwaanza, and all your other holiday celebrations! (If I got any of these celebrations wrong, I am truly sorry because I only celebrate Christmas. TT_TT)
