Chapter 18 - S3: not again

Denise is the only one who is really sitting on the couch for Christmas with all the gifts around her. Jordi sits next to her. He is holding a bottle of drink. "We have glasses in the cupboard." Lilly sits down next to Denise. "As if I care. " Jordi looks irritated at Lilly. "Come on, you're not that lazy. You still have to find a girl." Lilly takes the bottle from Jordi and pours herself a drink. "Now my bottle is a quarter empty." Jordi laughs. Somehow, Lilly is the only girl he can take jokes with. But... Lilly is too concerned with her appearance. Lilly is not Jordi's type at all, but they are certainly friends. Jordi knows that Lilly has a boyfriend. Lilly and Jordi are joking about each other and at that moment something unexpected happens. Densie crawls over to Jordi and gives him a kiss. Jordi tries to turn his head away but Denise puts his hand on his cheek and cuddles him. Cato and Mrs. Future arrive arguing. "Where's Alia?" Mrs. asks future. "He went to the toilet for a while, says Lilly. " Yes, I think it went an hour ago. It's really long gone." Jordi doesn't sound angry at all. Does Jordi really like Densie? That feeling does her good. Then Jordi looks angrily at Denise and Denise knows that it is wrong. She gets a bad feeling in her stomach. She tries to communicate with Jordi with the hope that that angry look is wrong and that he really likes her. That is not the case because Jordi continues to ignore Denise. Jordi plays a song before they start unwrapping gifts. He thinks of himself and all of a sudden he no longer thinks of Denise but of Jenny. Jordi gets scared and then notices that this may be something completely different from his thoughts. Is this a weird curse on the guitar?

Jordi plays with his guitar as usual, but this time it is special. He plays with his guitar that Jenny has drawn underneath. He thinks of himself and then sees the clouds. He stops playing and freezes. If this guitar really says what it does, it won't get into a relationship anymore. This is not true at all. Jenny is no longer alive and he got to see her too. Jordi feels nauseous all at once. He keeps spitting. My blood is not good, he thinks. Soon after, he also falls unconscious to the ground. His room door swings open with a bang. Jordi plays hours after dinner. This was really fifteen minutes. Cato gets stressed. Then a pizza bus stops in front of the house. Lila shouts: "smile at the bird." The bird flies in and Lila takes a picture of the bus. Is it their fault that Jordi is there? Yowie thinks it's funny that Alia as an American uses a Dutch saying. He is Dutch. The door swings open with a bang. "Jenny?" Cato stands with an open mouth. It's Jenny but then... Her ears are full of earrings. Her one arm is tattooed with doodles and on her neck Jordi in decorative letters. "Help!" She sounds irritated and a girl they don't know yet lets Jordi on the bus. "Cato, are you coming?" Jenny looks at Cato hopefully. Cato shakes his head no: "I have a much better time here." Jenny gets a shock through her body knowing that Cato doesn't want to go with her friends. Then Lilly sees melody on the bus. She is resuscitating Jordi. Then something unexpected happens: "I'm coming along." Says Lilly.

Jordi opens his eyes. There is a lot of noise around him. He sees people walking back and forth with collars. There is a huge wall along him. He then slowly gets up and sees that he is lying behind a bar. Long him lies a fridge with weird drinks. The image wobbles a bit. After that, his image is changed. A girl with two blond high pigtails. She is wearing waitress clothes. Jordi sees everything double so can't see her well. Then he feels the warmth. A kiss on his lips makes the feeling strange. This feels different from Denise. This feels soft and magical. This kiss feels like Jenny's. He wants another kiss but then sees that the girl lifts him up. Jordi notices that the girl has a hard time holding him and she finds it quite difficult to carry him. "Everything will be fine. I promise you!" He hears a familiar voice say. This feels safe. He doesn't know how but it feels safe. His image becomes clear again and then he sees doodles on her arm. The logo of the rock is also what he plays in: Warriors form heaven. Then he sees her neck. Jordi is tattooed in decorative letters. Jordi doesn't know who she is because she has turned her face back and is talking to someone. "Did table number seven give its plate back to the kitchen?" The voice sounds angry. "Sorry, I didn't know that..." Another voice sounds. "We are an Italian pizza restaurant! Call the cook who made the food for table seven and send it to my dad." The voice sounds angry. Then it becomes quiet for a moment and she sounds: "Now!" Jordi recognizes the voice better by better. Not quite, though. According to him, he has never heard the voice angry. Is this one of his biggest fans or is something else going on here? Then fear shoots into his mind... It wouldn't be Maggy, would it? Is this all a dream and is the photo correct?"

"Do I have to wear this?" Lilly looks unhappily at her friend Melody. She loves cooking! A hairnet is not. Why does Melody not recognize her the memories they have made together? Together they start cooking and soon a man comes in angry. He has a big mustache and an Italian accent: "who made the pizza for table number seven?!" "Me." Says Lilly carefully. Then the whole kitchen looks at Lilly angrily. "You're not the new girl?" The man sounds a lot happier: "I'm the father of Jenny and Melody." Are melody and Jenny sisters? This is very confusing. "You go well with desserts." The man says: "I heard that you designed clothes and later also designed food?" He asks. Lilly nods: "That's right. Nice to meet you." "Good, then you start decorating desserts now." The man winks at Lilly: 'you belong better there. We can forget about that one pizza." "Jenny is upstairs." Sounds a boy from the back of the kitchen. He sounds mean. "Snitch!" Melody shouts. The man storms upstairs but an old woman with a walking stick stops him: "Son of mine. Jordi is awake, let them for a while."

Jordi notices that the woman puts him on the bed. He tries to crawl up but he feels his hands pushing down. Jordi stubbornly sits on the bed anyway. He needs to know who she is! Wait, that's not possible... It's Jenny! He sees his guitars nice and neat on a stand next to a wardrobe. On the wardrobe there are all kinds of photos from their experiment. They had made them as friends. What Jordi notices right away is that Raf is not among them and Jordi very often. He walks over to take a closer look at the photos. "Jenny, are you the Jenny of the experiment?" He asks in tears of happiness. Jenny also nods crying with happiness. "They asked me to join the experiment, but I didn't dare. I thought it was so brave that you dared to do it that I eventually went too. They were able to save me just before I died." Jordi can't believe it. His girl is still alive. Something immediately comes to him. He proudly stands next to his guitars. "This is Annabel!" Jordi points to his first guitar: "and this is Jenny. With the drawings you made on it! I named her after you." Jenny starts jumping: "ahw that's super sweet!" Jordi notices that he feels dizzy again, so he lies back on the bed. Jenny caress him through his fluffy hair. Then her father comes up: "Jenny, I understand that this is important to you but you have a restaurant to run with the family and you still have a world to save."

"Jordi, are you okay?" Jenny puts a plate of pizza on his table. "Fine, I'm with you so that makes it right." Jordi starts cutting his pizza. "Jordi, I love you." Jenny stands uncomfortably at Jordi's table. She has to continue serving with pizza. Still, she would like to be with Jordi. He feels familiar. Jordi stands up and gives Jenny a kiss on the cheek. "I love you too!" Jordi blushes and sits down again. "Wait, I'd like to stay with you." Jenny stands behind his chair. Then the world starts to glitch. Everything around her faded. Jenny is startled and looks around scared. She runs inside to her parents and Jordi quickly runs after them. Her parents fade into pixels without saying goodbye to her. This is probably all a programmed joke.

"The 48-hour clock!" Cato looks anxiously at Mrs. future. She is unable to turn back time. How? Yowie stands next to him with the fear in his eyes. Then they see the world around them replaced and Yowie and Cato fall down. The house is no longer on the ground but in ruins on the ground.
