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.
