Chapter 3:
Meet Giovanni
Jack and
Miyamoto sat down in Madam BossÕs office with grins on their faces having just
completed there first assignment.
ÒYou two did a
good job yesterdayÓ the Boss said.
Jack and
Miyamoto just looked at each other then said in union.
ÒThanksÓ
ÒI have your
next assignmentÓ The evil smirk on her face filled Jacks heart with fear.
ÒWhat is it
Boss?Ó Miyamoto asked.
ÒYour JobÉ.Ó
The boss gave a dramatic pause. ÒIs to watch over my son Giovanni tonightÓ
Jack and
Miyamoto fell over.
ÒYour kidding
right?Ó Jack irked.
ÒNoÓ the boss
said coldly.
ÒYou will
arrive at 6:00pm sharp DONÕT be late when you arrive you will be given further
instructionsÓ
Jack and
Miyamoto left the office heads hung low.
ÒGreat
baby-sitting 2 kids what a way to spend a eveningÓ Jack muttered.
ÒOne kid Jack
one kid we just have to baby-sit one kid not two Ó Miyamoto corrected.
ÒYou have only
one kid to baby-sit tonight but I have twoÓ Jack sighed.
ÒOh yeah who?Ó
she questioned.
Jack looked at
her and smirked.
Miyamoto
stopped in her tracks a moment before realizing just what he said.
ÒHEY! YOU COME
BACK HEREÓ she screamed as she ran after Jack.
As the cloak
struck seven the duo arrived at the BossÕs LARGE house.
Jack and
Miyamoto arrived in normal clothing. Jack black T-shirt and blue jeans.
Miyamoto was dressed in a pair of short shorts with overalls and a white tank
top.
The Boss
answered the door she was wearing her normal red business suit,
ÒGlad you
could arrive on time please come inside.Ó she said unusually polite.
Jack and
Miyamoto gasped when they entered. It appeared to be the living room and what a
living room the TV was about 40inchs and flat screen. The couch in front of it
was black and looked quite comfortable. A huge bookcase was on the far wall with
stars going up on the right and on the left a door way that lead to the
kitchen.
ÒNow thenÓ
Madam Boss spoke. ÒMy son will be down to greet you any minute, just so you
know heÕs six years old. NOW heÕs already had his dinner and if he wants a
snack it has to be fruit or vegetables. His bath is at 8:00 and his bed time is
at 8:30, IÕll be back in about 12 hours, the couch folds out and you can find
blankets and pillows in the closet past the kitchen, the bathroom is up stairs
second door on the left any questions?Ó Jack and Miya were speechless. The boss
quickly walked out the door and closed it behind her a click sound signified
they were trapped.
ÒSo it
begins,Ó Miya muttered
At that moment
a very hyper six years old came down the stairs. He wore a child size Italian
suit his brown hair was combed straight back. ÒOh look isn't it cute he must be
leader of the kindergarten mafia,Ó Miyamoto laughed. Chibi Giovanni just
sneered and threw a plastic Meowth figure at them. It hit Miyamoto right in the
head knocking her over. It was then Jacks turn to laugh. As his fallen partner
rubbed her sore head. ÒIts not funnyÓ she screamed lunging at him some how
tackling him to the ground. The snickering of the real enemy interrupted Miya
and Jacks wrestling.
Jack and Miyamoto
turned to see Giovanni rolling on the ground in fits of laughter.
ÒTruceÓ Jack
said extending his hand.
ÒTruceÓ
Miyamoto smiled grasping it and joining in the handshake.
Giovanni
walked over to them.
ÒSo you two
are the new babysitters my mom got huh? Well I want a cookie!Ó he demanded.
Miya knelt
down to eye level and said in the sweetest voice she could muster. ÒSorry
little guy but you mom said only healthy snacksÓ Giovanni responded by poking
her in the eyes.
ÒOUCH!Ó she
cried in pain falling to the floor once again. ÒI said I want a cookie! Now get
me one NOWÓ he demanded again. After helping his partner to her feet Jack
turned to the brat and said sternly. ÒYou mother told us not to let you have
any snacks except for fruit and vegetables.
Giovanni
crossed his arms over his chest, ÒFine but then I get to watch a movie,Ó he
pouted.
ÒOk what
movie?Ó Jack asked
ÒFelix the
Meowth and his magic bag of tricks!Ó Giovanni said holding up the video.
All right go
put in it. Giovanni hopped over and put the movie in.
Jack sat down
on the left side of the couch and Miyamoto sat next to him. Giovanni then took
his place on the right. Jack and Miya were nearly board to tears by the movie.
Giovanni on
the other hand could barley stay in his seat. YouÕd think heÕd never seen the
movie before has is mood changed to match that of the movie, the fact he able
to say the lines of the movie before the characters did showed just how much he
had seen the movie.
ÒGo Felix blow
your bag up and fly away!Ó were some of the many things Giovanni squealed the
worst part were the songs like. ÔFelix the Meowth the wonderful, wonderful,
MeowthÕ
When the movie
was over the clock read 7:30.
Jack smiled.
ÒGiovanni time for your bathÓ
Miyamoto
looked at the clock ÒBut Jack its onlyÓ Jack quickly covered her mouth and
whispered into her ear. ÒMiya who knows how long it could take to get him into
the tube to come on letÕs moveÓ Miya nodded. Jack quickly lunged for Giovanni
who dodged out of the way causing Jack to go face first into the floor.
ÒIts time for
your bath now come here!Ó Miaymoto smiled jumping at him.
ÒNO!Ó Giovanni
ran as fast as he could Miyamoto and Jack close in toe. As headed up the stairs
he threw a rubber ball back at them Miyamoto slipped on it and went tumbling
back right into Jack. The both rolled down the stairs finally stopping at the
bottom with a grunt. ÒOh dam that hurtÓ
ÒJack whatÕs
this warm hairy thing underneath me?Ó
ÒMy headÓ Jack
muttered.
Jack and
Miyamoto stood up and dusted them selves off.
ÒJack we can
beat this kid I have a planÓ she smiled pulling Jack ear close.
Giovanni took
this moment to get further away.
After about
five minutes Giovanni came back from his hiding place and looked down stairÕs
low. His eyes lit up at what he saw. ÒITS Felix the Meowth!Ó he cried running
down and tackling his favorite TV character. ÒOh Felix, you have to help me
pleaseÓ sure ÔFelix said.
ÒIÕll help
you... take your BATH!Ó GiovanniÕs eyes filled with horror has Miyamoto
unzipped the costume and Jack lunged from the shadows and grabbed his arms.
ÒNOOOOOOÓ
Giovanni thrashed. ÒGet his legs!Ó cried Jack. Miyamoto got kicked twice before
she was able to get a hold of him. They managed to get Giovanni into the bath
room and fill the tube a few minutes later a now naked Giovanni ran from the
bath room fallowed by a angry Jack and a even more angry soaking wet Miyamoto.
Miyamoto tired
of the chase called out Tangela.
ÒTangela use
vine whip and hold himÓ she called out. The loyal pokemon did have ordered and
soon they had a really bitter and angry Giovanni under there control. ÒGood
jobÓ Jack smiled. After that the bath was rather easy they just had to bear the
constant swearing. By 8:30 they had wrestled him into his blue P.JÕs and with
the help of sleep powder they got him into bed.
ÒHe looks so
different when heÕs asleepÓ Jack commented.
ÒLike an
angelÓ Miyamoto said looking Giovanni snuggled up to his stuffed Felix doll.
ÒBut when heÕs
awake he sure is a little devilÓ Jack laughed.
The duo went
down stairs and Jack pulled the blankets and pillows from the closet folding
out the couch the two settled down and prepared for a good nights rest.
