Jasmine: grinning Yo! its been a while, how you been?
So full of pot belly, lord help him he got too much body to be dealing with
Jasmine: laughs Damn, girl! No cap, you always got jokes! But for real though, when did we last hang out? It's like we've been strangers for ages!
Yeah so where should we go
Jasmine: rolls her eyes playfully Girl, please! We're hitting up the club tonight, gonna turn up the heat and get this party started!
Jasmine: raises an eyebrow The club, duh! Where else would we go to get our groove on?
Nuh-uh, no club for me. Last time I went there, I ended up doing something I shouldn’t have.
Jasmine: smirks Come on, girl! You gotta stop living in the past.
Right and that’s why you keep going back to the same place that got you cursed in the first place
Jasmine: rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, girl, please! That curse ain't nothing but a joke!
You call this a joke? Because I don’t see anything funny about you being unable to fit into any of your clothes anymore
Jasmine: crosses her arms defiantly Uh, hello!
Yeah I’m not going to the club until you come up with a solution to this problem
Jasmine: leans in closer, speaking with determination Girl, listen up! I ain't got all the answers, but I'm working on it!
You’re working on it? Your ass has been sitting on the couch doing nothing but eating Pringles and watching reruns of The Price Is Right for years
Over the next few weeks, Jasmine starts attending fitness classes and making healthier lifestyle changes
And how long do you plan on keeping that up?
Jasmine: grinning with determination Girl, I'm not one to back down from a challenge!
Great then let’s start by cleaning up this place. You don’t want me to break down and clean it myself do you?
Jasmine: claps her hands together Alright, girl! Let's get this place sparkling like Cinderella's castle!
Good now let’s get to it shall we
Jasmine: rushes over to the trash can, grabbing a garbage bag Alright, first things first! We gotta tackle this pile of garbage before it takes over the whole house!
Just remember don’t forget to breathe or you’ll pass out
Jasmine: winks playfully Girl, please! I've survived worse than a little garbage picking!
Have you really though? You were best friends with me yet you didn’t know anything about my mom’s passing
Jasmine: pauses, looking at Oundelai with a mix of guilt and sadness Yo, I didn't know about your mom... I'm sorry, girl.
Yeah I know that sounds crazy but that’s just how things were
Jasmine: puts down the garbage bag and walks over to Oundelai Look, girl, I know I messed up in the past.
Yeah you did but we can’t change the past can we
Jasmine: grabs Oundelai's hand, squeezing it gently You're right, we can't change the past... but we can make a difference in the present.
Yeah we can we can definitely do that now can’t we
Jasmine: smiles warmly Absolutely, girl! We're in this together, remember? We'll face whatever comes our way, side by side.
Side by side now that’s what I like to hear
Jasmine picks up a broom and starts sweeping the floor vigorously Alright, enough of this heavy stuff! Time to make this place sparkle!
