Pre-Disney Princess Jump



Something felt strange waking up and feeling like I was becomming more real than I was. Like I was crossing some unknown boundry between real and fantasy. I felt the knowledge of the powers I gained, and even had a friendly little voice in my head now.



(Don't worry,) Thyme reminded me. (If things get too strange in your brain, I'll sort it out. Eventually.)



I smiled. I know I have Jump-chan watching me, but this was a feeling of relief from not being alone. We spent a week getting my new powers up to a passing grade since the ten year dream ended up being a lot faster than ten years in practicality. It was strange, just spending a week without seeing Jump-chan. Living in that space between worlds that was the warehouse. The place had a new terminal set up in the main holding area, and there was an under construction section above my apartment house.



Jump-chan appeared in my dining area with an E-Reader device while sipping a cup of coffee. "Ah, hey kiddo. Just looking at something sent over from my friend at the house of mouse. I know I've been choosing stuff for you for a bit, but maybe you'd want a look at this. They got an opening for a princess in a movie they are thinking about making, and I pulled a string or two for the part."



I grabbed some breakfast and sat across from her. "You are gonna be a princess? That's great!"



"Oh no. I'm not gonna be the princess. You are." She slid the device over to me. "I picked a bunch of stuff that you would need to fill the role, but there were some choice points left over. Not quite sure what you'd want from it. Also, not sure if Roy will try messing with me like Kon did..."



I ate a bit more then looked over the list. It was filled with singing and song perks. I hit a checkmark for the healing tears perk, and also hit one for Magic. Black Magic. I probably should be really careful with that one. There was a section for drawbacks listed with it. Something about policies and such.



"Jump-chan, what is all this about? I mean Choice points and stuff? Where does it all come from?"



"Every new world gives you one thousand choice points. As to how those choice points are made, well something involving ninjas, I dunno. Wasn't paying attention at the time." She let out a sigh. "I've been using them to select stuff for you. Drawbacks are... little troubles that give you extra points and spice up the jump a bit. This one," there was some level of concern, "Well, lets just say some of your stuff can't be taken in due to licensing issues. Because of the character you'll be playing, minor troubles will come looking for you, and you won't be allowed to bring your pets with you."



I slid the device back to her. "Is this common? I mean, people taking drawbacks?"



"My friends have jumpers that take them all the time. They've been helping me get started in the whole thing. You are my first jumper. They say the first one is usually special."



I smiled and decided to make sure Thyme would keep this memory somewhere special. Jump was looking over the two choices I added. "Healing Tears? That's an old princess standby... but Black Magic? Well, guess it fits. The role is for Morgan La Fay."



"Who?" I finished my breakfast and was putting the dishes in the dishwasher.



"Well, you'll find out soon enough. Looks like you got accepted for it. I also tossed in a little something extra for you. Hopefully it helps."



Jump's voice guided me back into the oblivion between worlds...
