Jesse's Girl

A young journalist named Madonna Jennings moves to Astoria, Oregon. She knows nothing about the place and is upset that her foster parents moved her out of New Jersey for a little country house. Her opportunities are much smaller away from the city.

Still, she writes and publishes articles in hopes that some big name will see it. She's a detective at heart, and intends to prove it. It's just the beginning of summer, so Madonna decides that she is going to do nothing but write and hide in her room. And maybe explore the town; just a little.

She gets frustrated with her foster parents one day and bikes away in anger. In her haste, she pays no attention to where she's going and ends up in an abandoned sea-life park. Madonna finds the main tank and sits on the stands above it.

That night, she meets a boy named Jesse Greenwood. A boy who, copyright be damned, shows her a whole new world.

⭐Can be read as a standalone story. You don't necessarily need to have seen Free Willy⭐

This story takes place after Free Willy 2, (basically a Free Willy 2.5) so the third movie hasn't happened yet. I'm taking that movie out completely, simply because I'm rewatching the series and haven't gotten there yet. Nadine and Jesse broke up amiably (were they really ever dating in the first place?) and there are no hard feelings between them. Just a reminder, the second movie took place in 1995, so this story is set in 1996. I was born in the 2000's, so I apologize for any mistakes. My mother is my reference guide for this.

(Free Willy does not belong to me, I am simply using its characters and setting to create a work of fanfiction. When i said "copyright be damned" that was Madonna's monologue, not my views.)
