She's compelled to return to Valerie

For the first time tonight, Jess was glad that her body compelled her to move without her consent.

Sam and Tiff had ultimately decided that she wasn't worth worrying about anymore and resumed trying to figure out how much saliva the two could reasonably exchange before Tiffany's hands had found the busty redhead's biggest assets.

The whole scene playing out before Jess was gut wrenching. Memories flashed in her mind of how excited Sam had been when she'd finally been asked out by Chris, the guy she's been pinning on for the better part of their senior year; or of how much joy and excitement Tiffany had showcased when she'd finally gathered the courage to break up with her ex, a man two years her senior who was bad for her for countless reasons...

Everything that was happening before her was an affront to that.

Worst yet, she couldn't do anything to stop it. Her body was moving on auto-pilot; no doubt executing Valerie's previous orders as her Mistress. Without making a sound, Jess walked up to her side-table, one that was incredibly plain compared to the assortment of pictures showcasing her recent years that had once decorated it, and placed down two of the three jello shots.

She doubted her friends would want them, but she ultimately had an order to fulfill and her body wasn't making any exceptions. She mustered every ounce of her will power and strength intending to close the bedroom door once she'd reached it, especially because Tiffany had successfully removed all obstacles between her face and Sam's bust, but she instead simply walked through it, her body knowing that the room's occupants wanted the door to remain wide open.

The sounds of her once highschool peers grew in volume as Jess quickly rejoined the festivities, her body willing her through the crowd. She didn't know how, her mind seemed to be the only thing not affected by this nightmare, but it seemed whatever **** that was compelling her knew exactly where to bring her.

Final jello shot still in hand, she finally spotted Valerie.

And Mistress was talking to Tia Chan.

The genie's heart sank...

Tia Chan was an exchange student from Japan. Standing at four foot eleven, she was easily the shortest and least experienced member of the cheerleading squad.

In fact, she was the only member who hadn't joined due to her own merit.

Back when Jessica's family had been more influential, they'd been approached about 'fostering' a young girl from Japan who had shown interest in coming to Eastlake. The deal consisted of the Edwards's estate allowing Tia to live in one of their rooms rent free while she partook in a single semester at the school. In return, this would have allowed Jessica the opportunity to do the same in reverse - staying at the Chan's during the summer for an extended vacation in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Shortly after Jessica became cheer captain, she'd given Tia a spot on the team and the girl, for a lack of a better term, had idolized Jess ever since. During the past months, Tia had been nothing short of a shadow who followed in Jessica's footsteps, defending her when she could and happily running along to do whatever favors Jessica asked for. In Valerie's eyes, Tia was nearly identical to the newly-improved maid but showed actual enthusiasm instead of constant disdain.

If her understanding of the current reality was sound, Valerie's new place in the pecking order would mean that Tia's loyalties had shifted to her, something that she could enforce and exploit. And it was with this goal in mind that Valerie set out to find the Japanese student.

She spotted the tiny Asian girl near the main veranda, watching a game of beer pong played by Brad 'Thundercock' Myers and Chris, his partner in crime. Unable to discern the extent of their new relationship, Valerie walked up to Tia with fake bravado, hoping that she'd be able to bullshit her way through some small talk before executing her plan.

"Have you ever played?" she asked, joining Tia by the open window.

"Oh, hey Val!" Tia replied, clearly immediately recognizing her... that was a good start, "I haven't, no. My parents were pretty strict and rarely let me attend these sort of events. This is the first time I've seen the game."

Valerie nodded along, pretending to follow the exchange while her mind was busy elsewhere. A girl as dedicated and loyal as Tia would be useful when she's around, but with her semester exchange close to completion, she'd be gone before Valerie could make full use of her. Especially come their final term as senior...

Best start with her parents.

"I wish Tia was my adopted sister."

The immediate change was that Tia seemed suddenly more relaxed; no longer did it feel like the Asian girl was sulking near the curtains. Instead, she held herself with poise, beaming full with the confidence of someone who'd grown up interconnected with the crowd around her. Throughout the house, years upon years of new photographs were added to include the now adopted girl, making it so that Tia had always been a part of the family.

Valerie had just begun to contemplate the implications of having a new sister when she heard someone's heels click their way up to them, stopping just short of her.

"Here's the jello shot you ordered, Mistress."

Turning at the newcomer, Valerie grinned with the revelation that Jessica, her magical wish-granting genie, had returned. The girl was just finishing another curtsy, her body moving with the proper mannerism of a life-long maid. Jessica's eyes were the only thing that betrayed her true emotions; they shined with deep anger and uncontrolled arousal.

"Is there anything else I can get for you?" she asked, her voice soft and calm. Inside, Jessica was doing everything she could to scream and yell at her Mistress, but her earlier wish of acting like a perfect servant preventing her from doing so. Instead, it just made her words sound hollow and broken.

"No, I think I'm sated for now..." her Mistress replied, taking the offered jello shot with ice cold calmness. She handed the **** to Tia, the Japanese girl thanking her before welcoming Jessica back.

The irony that Tia only remembered her name because of the wish Valerie had just put in place wasn't lost on Jessica. In fact, it made the fact that no one remembered who she was sting even more. Now, the only way to undo that was going to be to make entirely separate wishes and hope that its specifics would allow Jessica to jump back into someone's memory.

But, judging by the way Tia looked up to Valerie, especially after the older girl had given the shorter one a free shot, Jessica knew that all of Tia's devotion and loyalties were now directed towards her bitter rival. And, considering the smirk the softball captain was wearing, she knew it too.

It wouldn't be long before Valerie wished something and made the situation all the worst.
