Crystaline Origins

Chapter 4: Bonding As 'Friends'



The next day...

Jasmine: *shakes Grace* "Grace. Wake up."

Grace: "Is it breakfast time yet...?"

Jasmine: Really? "GRACE"

Grace: "WHA?"

Jasmine: "DO I HAVE TO THROW YOU AGAINST THE WALL?"

Grace: *quickly shakes her head*

Grace stretches and gets up.

Jasmine: *throws brush at Grace*

Grace: "Ow..."

Jasmine: "Make sure to brush your hair."

Grace brushes her hair, then she follows Jasmine into the hall.

Grace: "Where are we going?"

Jasmine: "Well first we're going to get you out of those ridiculous clothes."

Grace: "Aren't we going to eat breakfast first?"

Jasmine: "What-"

Linda: "Jasmine? I thought you didn't want Grace to be here."

Jasmine forced a smile.

Jasmine: "Well, my mind changed."

Linda: *smiles* "So you really do have pity on the child."

Jasmine: "Maybe just a little."

Linda: "Heh. Right. Well, breakfast is ready. I'll meet you at the dinning room." *walks away*

Jasmine waves slowly. Her face then returns to an unamused look.

Grace: *looks at Jasmine*

Jasmine: *sighs* "Okay. Fine. We'll eat breakfast first."

Jasmine leads Grace to the dinning room, wondering if she really should have brought Grace in last night.

Grace: "Princess Jasmine"

Jasmine: *looks at Grace*

Grace: "What if the king and queen talk to me and I-I-I I..."

Jasmine: "Then I will tell them what you say. And I would suggest you be careful what you say, because anything you say, and I mean anything, I will make sure they know."

The queen smiles as she sees Jasmine enter with Grace.

Queen: "I see you've changed your mind."

Jasmine: "Mmhm."

Queen: "Now take a seat you two."

Jasmine and Grace sit next to each at the table.

King: "So how are you Grace? Did you sleep well?"

Grace: *mumbles* "I'm alright. Last night was...okay."

Jasmine: "She says she's alright. Last night was okay."

King: "Well...that's...good. Ahem."

Linda: "What are you two going to be doing today?"

Jasmine: *gives a small smile* "Well first I was going to get her a new outfit to wear, seeing as she's going to live here from now on. And then...um..."

Grace: "Dragons later?"

Jasmine: "That's right Grace! Dragons! We were going to go play with the dragons! I took her to see the dragons last night and she loved them. I thought that we ought to go see them again."

Queen: "That's wonderful!"

Jasmine: *rolls her eyes*

Grace: "Why is everyone staring at me?"

Jasmine: "No one is staring at you, child."

Jason walks in. He sits next to Jasmine.

Jasmine: "You're late."

Jason: *sighs deeply* "I know."

Queen: "Jason"

Jason: "I'm late. I know."

Queen: "Yes you are. And when you are done with breakfast you are to immediately report to Henry"

Jason: "Yes!"

Queen: "For battle training."

Jason: *really face* "Come on! Why is it always battle training? It's not like we're ever going to go into war!"

Jasmine: "You never know."

Queen: "As for you, Jasmine, I expect that you enjoy your time with your friend for the day."

Jason: "JASMINE GETS A DAY OFF?"

Jasmine: *mutters* "Not really."

After breakfast, Jasmine went to the village, with Grace trailing behind her.

Grace: "Where are we going?"

Jasmine: "We're going to see Laura."

Grace: "Ooh! I love Laura!"

Jasmine: "Yes. Everyone does."

(Laura has very short ocean blue hair and ocean blue eyes. She wears blue shorts and a sky blue shirt. She also wears A sea foam colored cloak.)

They arrive at Laura's. And she immediately bows when she sees Jasmine.

Laura: "Princess Jasmine. Is there something that you need?"

Jasmine: "I'm hoping that you might have something for my friend, Grace, here."

Laura walks up to Grace and measures her.

Laura: "Well...I may have a few clothes that she could possibly wear."

Jasmine: "Well. Let's go through them shall we?"

The first outfit is a tight skirt and a sleevless shirt.

Laura: "Uhh..."

Grace: "This is uncomfortable."

Jasmine: "It looks uncomfortable."

The next outfit looks like a purple dress that a princess would wear to coronation.

Laura: "Well?"

Grace: "Jasmine please don't."

Jasmine: "Not even I would wear that."

Outfit number three! Grace has a magenta tank top and red skirt, as well as black boots.

Laura: "You look so pretty!"

Grace: "Oh Jasmine please!"

Jasmine: "Get rid of it. It's horrid."

The last out fit in the closet. It had a lavender short sleeve, ice blue skirt, lavender-colored tights, and sky blue boots. (it would look better if I could show a picture)

Laura: "Now this is the last outfit I have."

Grace: "I think it looks okay..."

Jasmine: "I LOVE IT!"

Laura: "So you'll take it?"

Jasmine: "Yes!"

Laura: "That would be Fifteen crystals."

Jasmine: "Fifteen?"

Laura: "Yes."

Jasmine: *gives crystals to Laura*

Laura: "Thank you for stopping by."

Jasmine: "It was my pleasure."

Grace: "Can we go see the dragons now?"

Jasmine: "Yes. We can go see the dragons now."

At the cave Grace sits on Pixie's arm. Her and Pixie watch as Jasmine paces back and forth.

Jasmine: "UGH! I can't think of anything else we can do!"

Pixie: *purrs* Teach Grace to ride a dragon.

Jasmine: "As if."

Grace: "Try thinking of something that you used to do with a friend when you were little."

Jasmine: "That's just the problem Grace. I've never had a friend. And any friend I did have, they were just... a traitor."

Grace: "Oh...maybe we could play hide and seek?"

Jasmine: "If I were ten years old I would have said yes. But I am sixteen"

Grace: "I'm sixteen too!"

Jasmine: "You interrupted me."

Grace: "Sorry."

Jasmine: "I am sixteen. And I am trying to act more mature."

Grace: "Maybe you could teach me how to ride Pixie."

Jasmine: "No."

Violet: *purrs* I've heard that some humans around this age will go with their friends and help each other find a mate. *flutters her eyes*

Jasmine: "ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

A person peeks in.

Person: "Hello Jasmine."

Jasmine: "Hi....wait, Rose?"

(Literally called Rose because of the rose colors she wears. Her hair is short and purple. Her eyes are lavender, she wear a white short sleeve, a red skirt and magenta..er..rose pink boots)

Rose: "Your sister told me you were in here with your new friend." *looks at Grace* "You must be Grace, yes?"

Grace: *nods*

Rose: "Don't speak much, eh?"

Grace: *shakes her head*

Jasmine: "Where did you go to Rose?"

Rose: "I traveled to a planet in another universe..."

Grace: "What's it called?"

Rose: "Ee-arth."

Jasmine: "Ee-arth?"

Rose: "Yes. And get this, the inhabitants of the planet look just like us! And they even call themselves humans, just like we do!"

Jasmine: "Interesting. Rose, have you recorded any of their hobbies? Or something that they do with a friend perhaps?"

Rose: "Well, I should."

Rose opens her book and looks through it.

Rose: "Ah! Here we are. Friend activities. A top favorite, is 'hanging out'."

Jasmine: "Like...hanging onto a tree?"

Rose: "I'm not sure....Ahem. Another one on the list says that friends enjoy playing games."

Jasmine: "I'm not five."

Rose: "I know. I know. Okay let's see...it says here that some girls will talk about who should and shouldn't be together or they're opinion on the relationship of a certain couple."

Jasmine: "Interesting...what else is there?"

Rose: "Well they like to share hobbies and interests. That's actually one of the ways friends become best friends from what I have observed."

Grace: "Are we going to do something yet?"

Jasmine: "Yes Grace. I just have to figure it out."

Linda: *peeks in* "Hey Jasmine, I thought you and Grace were going to play with the dragons. Oh hi Rose."

Rose: "Hello Linda."

Jasmine: "I was, I mean, we were. But the dragons were taking a nap. So we decided to just talk."

Linda: "What are you two talking about?"

Jasmine: "Stuff. Um...things... Did you get a hair cut?"

Linda: "Mmhm. Hey, since you're in here, why don't you teach Grace how to ride a dragon?"

Jasmine: *whines* "Why?"

Linda: "Because flying is better than playing with toys and ropes."

Jasmine: "I beg to differ."

Linda: "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date."

Grace: "That explains the hair cut."

Linda: "So you do talk."

Jasmine: "Yes Linda, she talks! Now leave!"

Linda: "Okay okay. You don't have to be so demanding about it."

Grace: *looks at Jasmine and smiles*

Jasmine: "AUUGHHH! Fine. I'll give you a ride."

Grace: "But-"

Jasmine: "Last time that was nothing. This time I'm going to give you a real ride."

Jasmine walks up to Violet and pats her on the snout, waking her up.

Violet: Huh?

Jasmine: "How would you like to go out for a bit?"

Violet: *stands up and stretches her wings* Sure.

Grace: "Jasmine said she was going to teach me how to ride a dragon!"

Jasmine: "I-"

Violet: That's great!

Jasmine: "But-"

Violet: Come on Jasmine! This will be more bonding time with your friend!

Jasmine: "Okay fine."
