Stargirl Washu
Episode 6: Songs of a Deamon

Washu crossed another day out in her calender. Just 2 more days and Washu will be able to see Jason Donovan with her very own two eyes even though she has loads of pictures of him and a video. Who is Jason Donovan? Jason Donovan is a singer with a string of hits from the 80's. He is also from Austraila and used to star in a soap called "Neighbors."
   "Just 2 more days,I'll be breathing the same air as him," Washu said to herself all excited 
  "I thought you were already breathing the same air as him," Mr McEachern said and then took a sip of his tea
   Washu turned round and looked at him "What?"
  "Ah! Jason Donovan! I remember him. You wrote about him in your school reports in high school. I remember them very very well," Mr McEachern continued
  I came in the kitchen with some picture of Jason Donovan of what he looked like today. Balding like me. hehe.... Only I am cute bald. 
  Anyway,I came in to join the conversation about our little friend Jason. 
  "Washu! Has loads of pictures of Jason Donovan. Here is one of them," I said as I took it out of my pocket.
  I passed it to Mr McEachern and laughter was shown on his face. I grinned and Washu jumped off the counter. She raced over to Mr McEachern and she tried to grab the picture,Mr McEachern used his left arm to block her. Washu's star-locket glowed and the picture was realesed from his hand and Washu grabbed it.
  I used my psychic powers and grabbed the picture off her.
  "Hey Brainy! Gimme that picture!" Washu raged
  "I will," I grinned "When you say the magic word,"
  Washu mumbled under her breath "Brainy.... is amazing,"
  "Huh? Washu? What did you say about? I can't hear well," 
  "BRAINY IS AMAZING!!" Washu shouted at the top of her voice
  I gave her the picture and she put it in her pocket. Mr McEachern laughed. Washu was going red and I was grinning like the Chireshire cat in Alice in Wonderland. 
   "He's not that bald!" Washu cried
  Mr McEachern laughed even louder. He was close to crying.
   *******
 In a far,far,far away outer space. There was a Space Station near the Planet Cotenrei. Who does it belong to? No not Pie Master, His is more nearer Pluto closer to Zedra though. Ok,it was Vanessa's hideout. Anyway,she was planning another evil plan to get Mr McEachern. Gee! Vanessa must really hate the guy.
   "Hey! Snowy!"
  Snowy turns round "Yes,Vanessa,"
   "When is the Jason Donovan concert?" asked Vanessa
   "Friday night....... Wait... a sec...... you don't like Jason Donovan,why do you wanna know?" asked Snowy
   Vanessa snaps "You idiot! Mr McEachern is staying with Washu. Washu loves Jason Donovan. We'll use Jason Donovan's music to brainwash his fans which will include Washu and she'll bring Mr McEachern to me b'coz she will be under Jason Donovan's control," 
  "Hey! That ain't a bad idea. Sounds like it will work," said Snowy
  "I know it will work. Knowing Washu," Vanessa laughed in her evil way
  *******
Back at home,Washu was in the living room,making a banner for the concert. While listening to that man sing! Arrgh! I hate his music so much. I never knew Aussie men could be annoying more than me. WAH!!
  "Listen to the rymthm of the falling rain,telling me how much of a fool I've been,I wish it would go and make me cry again and never make me be alone again," Washu sang along
  Mr McEachern came into the living room with the newspaper under his arm and dropped it as soon as he heard Jason Donovan and put his hands over his ears.
  "Arrgh.... I remember this song. Not one of my favourites at all. Anyway,what are you doing?" asked Mr McEachern
  "I'm making a banner for Jason Donovan," Washu replied
  "Figures! It says Jason Donovan rules in big smurf blue writing. Who is going with you anyway?" 
  Washu paused. She had 3 tickets for the concert but none of Washu's friends like Jason Donovan. They hate him. Like they hate show-off people but they hate show-off people more. Anyway,Washu had no one to go with.
  Washu eyed at Mr McEachern. He suddenly knew what Washu was thinking. Or he was guessing what Washu was thinking. Oh I don't know!
  "Please?" she quickly asked
  Mr McEachern blushed "Please what?"
  "Please come with me to the Jason Donovan concert?" Washu asked
  "NO WAY!" Mr McEachern quickly replied rudely.
  Washu pounced on him and got hold of his arm and armlocked him. She wasn't gonna let go until he said yes which would be ages I guess and it would be Washu's personal record for hurting Mr McEachern. 
  "Gonna come now?" asked Washu
  "NO!"
  Washu pulled further and hurt his arm even more. (Whoo! Go girl!)
  "OUCH! Look,Washu?"
  "Yes?" Washu replied
  "If I come to the concert,will you free me from this arm lock and get off me?" said Mr McEachern
  Washu gets off Mr McEachern's back. Mr McEachern gets back up. But is pushed back down to the ground b'coz Washu hugs him. Washu hugs are death traps.
   "Thank you,sir," Washu whispered
   "I'm doing this for the arm you put in a powerful armlock. All,I can say is you have a great grip for a girl," said Mr McEachern
   Washu blushed,Mr McEachern smiles. Then I come in. 
    "Yo Brainy in da room!" I said ruining the moment
   "Brainy,keep with your rock star ways. Rap does not suit you at all," said Mr McEachern "Plus you are a great guitar player," then said under his breath "Better than Jason Donovan,"
   "Brain-nee!" Washu said to me
   "Wash-yuu!" I replied back
   "Will you go to see Jason Donovan with me. I have 3 tickets. But I have one and Mr McEachern has one and there is one left. So do you wanna go with us?" 
   I turned to Mr McEachern "You out of all people. I thought you were a Jason Donovan hater." I began to fake cry "You broke my trust!"
   "I couldn't help it if Washu is super strong and put me in an armlock!" 
   "Mr McEachern got beat up by a girl! Mr McEachern got beat up by a girl!" I chanted
   "Brainy! I have super powers. He stood no chance of defeating me. Anyway,will you come to the concert?" Washu asked
   I titled my head upwards.
   "Brainy! If you come to the concert,I'll get you one of those glow-rings you like so much and candyfloss. Remember the candyfloss at the Roxette concert?" said Washu bribing me
   My ears widen to the candyfloss idea. Washu knew my many weaknesses and candy was one of them. I especially love candyfloss but.... will Washu buy me some like the Roxette concert.
   I jumped up and Washu grabbed me and hugged me and I hugged her back.
   "Is that a yes?" Washu asked
   "Yup!" 
   "Well,you're easily bribed,aren't you?" said Mr McEachern
   "Least I'm not weak against girls," I replied back
   I grinned.
 ***********
 The next morning,Washu crossed another day off in her calender with her pink marker pen. She crosses it with a smile knowing the next day was the concert.
  "Just tomorrow. Just tomorrow and I'll see Jason Donovan with my very own two eyes!" Washu said all excited
  "I thought you saw him with your very own two eyes. Everyday with the amount of pictures and videos you have. I'm suprise you aren't blind now!" Mr McEachern joked
  Washu turns round "Do you always have a nasty comment to say about Jason Donovan?"
   "Yep! I'll say them now so I won't say them at the concert. 5 hours of him will be a complete nightmare. Come true!" Mr McEachern pannicked
   "It's my dream come true . Even though,I've seen him before. But I would really like to meet him. Wonder what he is like?" 
   Mr McEachern strokes his chin "He's probably the kind of guy that hates kittens or smurfs. I doubt they let smurfs in the SECC too. B'coz they are like animals. Well,Brainy is," 
   "Don't worry,they let them in. On an account,Brainy and I went to see Roxette and we both got in," Washu smirked
   "Darn it! I was wrong," said Mr McEachern
   I came in the kitchen with the newspaper under my arm and I was ready for my prank of the week. Telling Washu,Jason Donovan was cancelling his concert. 
   "Oh my Goodness graceness! It's terrible!" I acted as I came in
  Washu jumped off the kitchen counter and ran towards me.
   "Whats wrong Brainy?" she asked
  "Washu! I don't know how to tell you this....... but JASON DONOVAN CANCELLED HIS CONCERT!!" 
  I never expected Washu to cry. But she did. Washu started crying. Mr McEachern felt sorry for Washu so he hugged her reasured her everything was gonna be alright.
   "Washu,don't cry. Everything will be alright. Tomorrow,I'll dress up as Jason and sing! I'll sing better than Jason too. Come on! Don't cry. You make the world sad if you cry," Mr McEachern said to Washu,hugging her
   "JASON..... JASON....... JASON....... DONOVAN!!" Washu cried
  What did I do? I never knew Washu was gonna go this far with it. I felt guitly at this point. You would too if you played a prank on your friend.
   "Ok,ok,I'll admit! I MADE IT UP!!! Jason isn't cancelling. It was a joke," I admitted
  Washu stopped crying and wiped her tears. She began to get angry. She got real mad at me.
   "A JOKE! A JOKE! JOKES HAVE IRISHMAN,SCOTSMAN AND ENGLISHMAN!! NOT JASON DONOVAN! GET IT?! IRISHMAN,SCOTSMAN AND ENGLISHMAN!! WHAT JOKES HAVE,BRAINY VOGT?" Washu shouted
  Mr McEachern covered his ears.
  "Irishman,Scotsman and Englishman. They also have doors if doing a knock-knock joke," I corrected
  "You won't be getting any candyfloss at the concert. This is the worse thing anyone has said to me," Washu cried
  NO CANDYFLOSS!! Well,I deserved it for saying it.
   *******
   Back in far away space,Vanessa had found a spell to control people using music. But Washu doesn't know witchcraft,Snowy does!
   "Ok,this is the only decent spell,I can do to Jason Donovan and Snowy,since I don't know Witchcraft,you'll have to do it," said Vanessa
   "Fine! Will I get extra carrots?" 
   "All depends if you do it," 
  "Fine,now,it says here,I need frogs' legs," Snowy began reading the spell book
  "Eww....," Vanessa commented
  "Nose hairs,"
  "Gross!"
  "Rabbits' fur and a Whitney Houston CD. WAIT!!! RABIT'S FUR!!"
  "Whats wrong with that?" Vanessa aked
  "Phew! Brown or black rabbit fur. I'm so glad I am a white rabbit," Snowy said
  "Hence why I called you Snowy!" Vanessa mumbled
   ******
 It was the night of the awaited concert. Washu dressed us up in T-shirts saying 'I heart Jason Donovan.' With the heart meaning love!! I hate that t-shirt so much.
   To make matters for me even more worse,Washu made me hold up balloon spelling out Jason!! They were also helium balloons and as soon as I got hold of them,I started floating up in the air. Well,I reached up to the ceiling. I couldn't get down.
  Washu comes out her room with her t-shirt,j-bracelets and j-earrings. Mr McEachern was still in the bathroom. Washu did not know where I was.
  "Oh Brainy! Where are you? We're gonna be late for the Jason Donovan concert," said Washu
  "I'm up here! Get this stupid t-shirt off me. I am over cute," I shouted down at Washu
  Washu looks to the ceiling and sees me floating up in the air with the ballons she made me hold up. Washu pulls my leg and pulls me down.
  "Brainy,you should gain abit more weight. Then you won't be floating up in the air alot," Washu giggled
  "Can't you limit the number of balloons?"
  Washu laughed "No,silly! Then it won't spell out Jason,"
   "At least you know how to spell something," I murmured
  Mr McEachern came out with the same t-shirt as me and it looked stupid on him too. Mr McEachern also had a red face. He was ashamed.
   "Can I wear a mask,Washu?" he asked as he came out of the bathroom
   Washu giggled "No...... thats just silly. Now,come on. Jason is singing our names for us to come,"
   Washu grabbed Mr McEachern and kept a hold on my leg incase I flew away. I'm afarid of heights!
  As soon as we got out the door. Washu forgot her Jason Donovan banner.
   "Oh no!! I forgot my banner! Wait for me please!!" said Washu
  Washu passed me to Mr McEachern who kept a hold of me. He tight on my leg and it was sore.
   "Can you not hold on my leg so tight. IT'S SORE!!" I cried in pain
   "It'll only be a few minutes,Brainy. Washu is getting her Jason Donovan banner and then we are out so take in the pain for just a few more minutes,'kay?" Mr McEachern smirked
  Washu rushed out with her banner and she grabbed me and we made a move quickly b'coz the concert was gonna start in an hour and half.
**********
  We went to Glasgow's SECC and got standing seats. Washu was the youngest Jason Donovan fan there for all the others were 40 year old housewives who dragged thier husbands with them. We were also the only ones who were wearing t-shirts with Jason's name on them. 
  "I knew I should've worn that mask," said Mr McEachern
  "Will you stop complaining!! This is my night!! I really hope Jason invites me on stage to sing with him. That would be so awsome," said Washu
  "Washu,you know very well,he never does that. The guy doesn't even sing live!!" I said
  The lights went down. A bald man stood on stage with a red guitar and started to pretend  to play the guitar. Lots of people were cheering as he sang his first song 'Everyday.'
  "Oh everyday,oh everyday,oh everyday," the music played and Jason moved his mouth,lip syncing
  "I may never give you flowers,Maybe working all these hours to build a life for me and you," Washu sang along waving her banner
  "At least,Washu is happy," Mr McEachern thought as he smiled
Jason Donovan always made Washu happy. His music has a cheery tune and beat to it. I'll admit I like 'Too many broken hearts,' that was a cool song. Don't tell Washu I said that.
  It was an hour into the concert when Washu realised that something strange. Since we are near the front Washu noticed something. She instantly stopped singing along and waving her banner.
  "Washu,whats wrong?" I asked
  "Quick Washu,give me your banner while the guitar solo is still on. I love Jason Donovan!" Mr McEachern said
  Washu passed her banner to Mr McEachern and grabbed me,untied the balloons from me and took me to the cafe part. Washu bought me candyfloss too and explained what was wrong. She only bought me the candyfloss so I would listen to her.
  "So? What is wrong with you agian,Washu?" I asked while I was eating my candyfloss
  "Jason Donovan's eyes turned red. His eyes are blue,Brainy. Like your skin!" said Washu
  "So,his eyes turned red?"
  "Yes and Jason Donovan haters are enjoying themselves and Mr McEachern is starting to like him and he hates him," said Washu
  "I just thought you brain-washed him when it's someone else. I better shut his music off to see if that will get everyone back to normal," I suggusted
  "Brain-nee...... before you go,finish your candyfloss," said Washu
  "Of course," I replied
  I wished I got the medium size or even the small b'coz they are so big and too much and I did have lots of ice cream b'coz I thought Washu wasn't getting me any candyfloss. 
  "Washu,I can't eat it all," I moaned
  "Give it here,Brainy," said Washu
  I gave Washu,my candyfloss and she ate it. I teleported to the control room and sneaked inside. The control guy fell asleep so I started to play around with the buttons. I pressed this blue one next to this lever and it made the lights go wild.  
  "Mm..... not the right one. Lets try this one," I said
  I pushed another button and fire nearly burned Jason alive (wish it did).
  "Bloomin' Kola! That wasn't meant to happen until I sang 'When you come back to me.' What is going on?" Jason said in his Aussie accent
  "Oops! Wrong one," I exclaimed
  I pulled the lever and the lights went on. I pushed another button and the music went off and Jason ran off stage. That was the proudest moment of my life. 
  Washu was waiting for us guys at the cafe bit. Mr McEachern appoarched her first. He had a big smile on his face LIKE he enjoyed the concert. That's when something seemed wrong.
  "Hey Washu!" he said as he hugged her
  "My oh my! Aren't you happy?" said Washu "Why are you so happy!"
  "Washu! You are so right! Jason Donovan concerts are so cool and rock! Here! I got you this! I hope you like it," 
  Mr McEachern pulled out a Jason Donovan plushie from his pocket "See? He has hair!"
  "Oh,Mr McEachern! He is kawaii! I love him! I love him more than the actual Jason!!" Washu exclaimed in excitment
  "Wait here till I get Brainy some candyfloss. I'll get him the large lot," 
  Mr McEachern went into the que to get me another large lot of candyfloss!!
   I teleported back to Washu and jumped on her back and gave her a fright. 
  "BOO!" I exclaimed as I jumped on her back
  "WAH! Oh! Brainy! It's just you! You silly smurf," 
  "Where's Mr McEachern?" I asked
  "You just better wait and see. He's in a good mood which is cool. He likes Jason Donovan!! And.... and! He bought me this! A Jason Donovan plushie which is so sweet. Look he has hair!!" Washu said going overboard
  I dimed my eyes at the plushie and said with no mood "How cute,"
  Mr McEachern with the words 'likes Jason Donovan' does not go together like 'Washu likes Jason Donovan.'  Something seemed not right at all....
  Mr McEachern came back with a huge amount of candyfloss and gave it to me with a smile like he was from McDonalds Happy Meal family. This kinda creeped me out. Mr McEachern being nice to me,Brainy. Those words do not go together at all.
  "Look Brainy! I got you candyfloss even though Washu said you weren't allowed to have some," said Mr McEachern smiling happily
  I fainted. I thought I wouldn't tell you guys it but I was getting sick of candyfloss that night.
  "Brainy? Was it something I said?"
  "Brainy is shocked put it that way?" lied Washu
  *********
A week later,everyone had Jason Donovan on the brain. Everywhere we went or what we watched someone had mentioned about Jason Donovan. It was liked he ruled the world after that stupid concert. Mr McEachern was even in the craze. It was well..... CRAZY!! Washu got sick of it all.
  "Did you know Jason Donovan's dad married a super model and Jason tried to get them to break up before the Wedding and Jason was the best man at the Wedding. Weird! I never knew that," said Mr McEachern
  "I knew that when I was 10 years old. I studied more of Jason's history than of Beethoven's. Everything you are gonna tell me I know. It would be more fun if I never knew those facts but I do unless you are gonna tell me something I don't know,I will listen if not,well,I will block you out. I'm gonna watch some TV now," said Washu
  Washu came into the living room all in a mood. She wanted to sit down and forget about Jason Donovan.
  She sat down beside me on the sofa. I was flipping through the channels trying to find something that had NOTHING to do with Jason Donovan. So I turned to a documentary about Penguins.
  "Penguins?" Washu said in a moody way as she slumped into the sofa
  "Yes,Penguins. They won't go talking about Jason Donovan," I said
  But I sat and was corrected by the TV.
   "Penguins are fightless seabirds that have wings that look like flipers Jason Donovan has if he went suba-diving. They eat squid like Jason Donovan has in his sushi," the TV said
  I switched the TV off. Washu was beginning to have a nervous break down. 
  "WHY? WHY? Can't I like Jason like I used to. Whats wrong Brainy? Why is everyone liking Jason Donovan all of a sudden? Now,Jason feels less special to me," said Washu
  "Is it me or do I smell a rat?" 
  "A rat? What do you mean Brainy? You think someone has cast a spell over Jason Donovan? Why would they do something like that?" Washu asked
  I sighed "Has it ever occur in that pink haired head of yours that someone is brain-washing people with your favourite singer? They want to control you so they use Jason Donovan to try and brain-wash you so you can capture Mr McEachern for them but it has not worked for you are Stargirl Washu and dizzy small brain-washing like using Jason Donovan won't work on you and it won't work on me b'coz I am a smurf and smurfs can block brain washing,"
  "Makes sense. But the other question is who? Any ideas,Brainy?" Washu asked
  "This sound like the R-Dan Cult. A cult full of rabits that lived in Danzer and they practised magic. Snowy was from there before he was re-born on Earth as a shed-pet and then became big after Vanessa made a wish on her Birthday cake. Anyway,Snowy knows Witch-craft," I explained deeply
  Washu looks confused "Err.... Vanessa has done this?"
  "Well,it would explain a lot more in detail,"
  "Well,she is stupid an enough to use Jason Donovan in her evil plans. Unlike all the other bad guys. We have to stop her,now!" Washu declaired
  Mr McEachern came rushing in with 2 hats that had Jason Donovan's intinionals on them. A blue one for Mr McEachern and a pink one for Washu.
  "Look Washu!" Mr McEachern said in excitment
  He put the hat on Washu's head and looked in her eyes. Washu blushed.
  "Thank you,Mr McEachern. It's pretty and pink," said Washu blushing
  "I know,it matches your eyes. You look pretty," said Mr McEachern
  Washu's eyes widen as she heard the comment. She smiles at him and fixes the hat on her head. Now,I know how Washu goes gaga over boys! I'll blame the singer she likes so much.
