Good Place Shorts

Janet Visits Jason on Earth

It was Valentine's day.

The day of love, and Janet couldn't be at her love's side on the human holiday. Instead, he was living on Earth again for a second chance to go into the Good Place. But after barely avoiding jail, he returned to his dangerous hi-jinks of blowing up everything. She looked at the paper in front of her and sighed.

Wherever he went, she would go with him. But she didn't want him to suffer in the Bad Place, he couldn't.

"You want to visit him don't you?" Michael realized. "Go ahead, Gen's too busy dealing with some other cases. You should go and see him."

Janet hugged Michael and disappeared to the EDM concert that Jason was currently at. The music was loud and as Jason would say, 'poppin.' She changed her outfit to a long black dress with two hearts over her chest area, a collar with spikes on it, black eyeshadow, and a black headband with cat ears on it. After all the reboots she spent with Jason, she subconsciously knew all the kinks and outfits he liked.

When she tapped Jason's shoulder, he turned around and fell on his knees; awestruck.

"Oh my god, you are literally the hottest babe I've ever seen in my life." Jason fumbled for his wallet. "Here, take all my cards-"

Janet giggled, helping him back onto his feet.

"I don't want your money, you goof!" Janet smiled. "I want to spend the evening with you on Valentine's day."

"...is this a prank?" Jason whispered, then he notice the hot lady frown. "You really want to hang out with me?"

"Is that okay with you?" Janet asked.

"Hell yeah it is!" Jason took Janet's hand. "I need to take you to Stupid Nick's Wing Dump, you'll love the wings!"

Janet felt warmth radiate from her body, as if the restaurant was something they bonded over before. Fortunately, this was before the pelican fell into the flash fryer. The happy two went to the restaurant and sat at a booth when Jason leaned towards Janet.

"You can get wings for free if you take your top off." Jason whispered.

"It's okay, I'm good." Janet stuck out her tongue playfully, hoping he wouldn't persist. It's not like she had any boobs to show off anyway.

Jason ordered an excessive amount of wings, some of every flavor, and Janet took it upon herself to eat some of the ghost pepper ones. She was incapable of feeling pain from spicy food, but it was certainly entertaining to see Jason's shocked face.

"Holy shit, those peppers don't even affect you!" Jason gasped. "Are you like, a sexy kitten angel or something? Am I in heaven?"

"No, but maybe one day." Janet smirked. A note suddenly appeared on the table, Janet picked it up and read it:

Gen's coming, I'm trying to stall her.

"Oh, I h-have to go." Janet didn't want to go, not ever. But she would be selfish to stay longer, she pressed her lips against Jason's. "Please, be a good person okay?"

"Wait, let me give you my phone num-" Janet was gone, and Jason was staring off into the distance. "...oh my god, she was an angel."

Janet reappeared in her respective spot, checking the papers of Chidi and Tahani's progress as if nothing happened. Michael and Gen walked in, the former sat next to Janet and the latter left.

Janet silently thanked Michael, even if her visit was agonizingly brief. She promised herself that she'd go and see him again, determined to be with him even in the bleakest of circumstances.

For she truly loved him across time and space.
