P.I.E.: A Nymphic Faerietale

Chapter 19

A few days passed, and Jimmy had calmed down since his outburst... almost. Jimmy wasn't sure why he had done anything at all. He didn't want to get up, or hurt anyone at that moment, which was hard to believe, but Ghost began to understand that through tone of voice, Jimmy was telling the truth. Jimmy was also really tired at the time, so it wouldn't make sense for him to break free and expend more energy.

Toast was even more concerned about Jimmy than he let show through, but he couldn't hide it for too much longer, so he called everyone into the living room for a meeting. Once everyone was settled, Toast began .

"I know I'm not typically the one to call meetings around here, but I have a theory about why Jimmy is losing control of himself, and why he's acting... strange for his personality," he opened.

"You have an idea at what's rattling around in Ghost's head, huh?" Sarah pushed. "Well, spit it out, and stop being all nervous."

Embarrassed by Sarah's obnoxious remark, Toast continued, not holding back on what he had to say, but not before Ghost shot her a dirty look.

"My idea is that Jimmy's newly awakened power is a force he doesn't yet understand, and can't control," he explained. "Jimmy's probably afraid of it right now, and desperately trying to get a grip on it."

"That's what it seems like," Ghost muttered. "I've had a throbbing headache since this morning, and Jimmy's saying that it's because he's trying to 'understand' the lampad abilities, and he's having a hard time. He even apologized for it, which is not him at all."

"As for the ditsy behavior, I think he's getting slapped in the face by reality," Toast continued. "He's never really thought about the consequences of his actions, so I think he's beginning to finally understand the consequences of his actions."

Ghost's eyes widened, but not in shock. Toast listened in, and found that Jimmy was being his normal chatty self.

That's not at all what's going on! Jimmy was saying, sounding slightly offended.

Jimmy took control of Ghost to speak his mind. "You're an idiot, Toast! I've always known there were consequences to my actions. There are consequences to every action! What's really going on is private, and none of your business!"

Everyone was taken back by this sudden revealing, and Carlisle whistled. There really was something mysterious going on!
