Spreading joy to the masses

Jellax-Spreading joy to the masses

It had been a few weeks since my salvation, and so far I've loved every minute of it. Claire and I were seemingly inseparable, I had all the friends I could ever want, as well as the love and acceptance of every Jellax, including and especially that of my beloved Claire and of course our queen and Mother, Mistress Jamanen. "Why were people fighting us?" I thought to myself as I floated in the pool with our fellow Jellax, their minds mingling with my own, their thoughts being my thoughts "And why did I try to fight it? This is the most wonderful experience I've ever had in my life."
Just then I heard Claire's voice in my mind as she rose out of the slime pool "Wakey, wakey sleepy head." My green eyes rose out of the pool to meet hers. "Is it time to get up already?" I murmured groggily, raising myself out of the pool and sitting myself on the edge. I couldn't help but admire her flawless red form, she seemed so......perfect to me.
"What's wrong, love?" She asked, concerned at feeling my slight sadness and questioning.
"I was just wondering to myself why I was so afraid of this." I replied "How I could think you and Mistress Jamanen could be evil." She smiled at me and kissed me passionately. I returned her loving embrace with my own feeling her thoughts flow through my mind
"You were human." she replied lovingly "Humans tend to fear change, especially when they don't understand it. Look around you Mark, see how happy everyone is, including yourself?" My eyes moved towards the twins Mercy and Jasmine who were having a slime ball fight with their friends Zoe and Jessica, then to the Kavarn brothers Max and Jaceon who were constructing a statue
of our mistress out of slime that was at least 4 times her actual size, then to Krystal and her mother, the latter of whom was recently saved by the former. After exploring and experimenting with her new found gift, Krystal's mother spent a lot of time with her daughter, her frustration of Krystal being paralyzed, the fear for her safety and worry over her daughters whereabouts wiped away by our queen's wondrous gift and her daughter's love. Finally my eyes moved to our mother and queen Mistress Jamanen herself. Jamanen, the last of the original Jellax, our leader and savior of humanity from the horrors of solid flesh. She with her gift might do what humans could only dream about, total world wide peace. "I know Claire, I just feel bad that "Normal" people don't understand or they don't want to understand."
She smiled and said "That's what we're trying to do sweetness, we're trying to make them understand, by showing them the joys of our gift. Speaking of which, are you ready to help spread it in the name of our beloved queen?" I nodded as we arose and we walked through the portal to earth.

We appeared on top of a tall building, we looked down upon the human populace. "So many unhappy people down there." I said, observing the humans feeling nothing but pity for them. "They're so close together, yet worlds apart."
"That's what we and our fellow Jellax are for," She replied still smiling "We're here to bring the love, joy and peace of Mistress Jamanen to the poor unfortunate souls down there." I felt eager to start, though not exactly knowing where to do so.
After all, not everyone was worthy of Mistress Jamanen's gift. Our queen only wanted those whom were truly good at heart, which left us the job of sorting out those whose souls were filled with hate and darkness. Claire and I changed into cat form and quietly snuck into the building's elevator and rode it down to ground level. It's amazing how oblivious some people are. You think that 2 cats made of red slime with lime green eyes would set off alarms in peoples heads. But my human father always did say that people are either too oblivious or too stupid to really take notice of their surroundings any more. One of the few things I did remember about him. I could hear with my cat ears voices in an alley way. We darted off to find an elderly woman and a child who looked to be about 5 surrounded by a group of thugs.
"Give me the bag, now!" One screamed at the elderly woman, whom was clutching the young girl to her closely
"Grandma, I'm scared." The little girl said hiding herself in her grandmothers shirt. I went to move but Claire stopped me, sending her voice through my mind "They have weapons Mark," She said
"They might not be able to hurt us, but they can hurt the girl and her grandmother."
"We can't just sit here and let them get mugged, Claire." I responded annoyed and distressed
"I didn't say we should," She responded "But this requires a little more stealth then what you have in mind." and with that she transformed into her human form and created several tendrils from her flawless body. from our distance she sprang upon the group, wrapping her newly formed limbs around the muggers
completely disabling them. Suddenly I could hear in Mistress Jamanen our minds. "These men are unworthy of our gift," she whispered "They aren't even worthy to continue living as human beings." Soon the men vanished from Claire's tendrils and she recalled them to her body. I then took human form and said
"Looks like your way was better, Claire." She smiled at me and said "You still have much to learn about our gift, Mark."
She was right, I had been a Jellax for only a few weeks. She had been one for months. We approached the victims of the attack and wrapped our arms around them.
"Are you two okay?" I asked. The Grandmother didn't know what to make of us and her granddaughter seemed frightened of us. "It's okay," Claire said in a soothing comforting voice "We're not going to hurt you."
"Are they gone?" The little girl asked still shaking "Yes," I replied "They won't hurt you any more."
"I don't know who you are," The elderly woman said "But thank you."

I smiled at them
"You're very welcome." I said "So what are you two doing down here in this dark alleyway?"
"It was kinda my fault," The grandmother said "My mind is going, I was watching my granddaughter for my daughter and son in law because they're out of town. In fact they're due back today." She continued
"What happened?" Claire asked her holding them close
"I was on my way to the bank and I made a wrong turn somewhere." She said, embarrassed "They don't live to far from here, but I'm unfamiliar with the neighborhood and we got lost. Then those horrible men surrounded us and pinned us into a corner. You two know the rest."
"I think I saw the bank you was talking about not too far from here" I said "We can escort you both there." I offered "Thank you, but who are you?"
"I'm Mark," I said introducing myself "And this lovely lady next to me is Claire, what's your name ma'am?"
"I'm Anna Berkly," The grand mother said "And this is my granddaughter, Barbara." Mrs. Berkly seemed tired from the experience "I'm getting too old for this," She sighed "My old body can't handle this sort of exercise or excitement"
"Grandma you're not old." Barbara said trying to cheer her up
"Thank you dear, but I know I'm old."
I smiled at her "What if you don't have to be old?" I told her smiling. She looked at me curiously then asked "What do you mean? It's not like being old for me is an option." I smiled and whispered "What if it could be?" My eyes lit up with excitement, soon I could share my gift.
"You see, we're here to spread the joy of our gift," Claire said "The gift given to us by Mistress Jamanen." Suddenly Mrs. Berkly looked at us with a look of realization and horror "You two are those Jellax things from the TV," She said clutching her grand daughter close to her. "You absorb people and make them soulless blobs of slime."
I sighed and thought to Claire "Here we go, she's going to try to run."
Claire continued smiling and said "That's not how it works, we don't destroy people, or make anyone a slave. We just want to share the joy we have found with others. Others like you"
"You see, when Mistress Jamanen looks at humans, she sees nothing but pain and suffering" I explained "She wants to take away humanity's suffering leaving nothing joy and happiness. Taking out all the bad parts but leaving all the good."
Mrs. Berkly looked at us skeptically "How do I know you're not lying or being controlled?" She asked, probably justly considering what people have heard of us.
"If that was the case we could have converted the men who attacked you, but we didn't"
I said to Mrs. Berkly
"You see, not all are worthy of Mistress Jamanen's gift" Claire explained to her "We're here on her behalf to find and convert as many people who are worthy of her gift as possible." She said holding my hand in hers. "Mark and I were once like you, always worrying about what was wrong with the world and having to endure the horrors of solid flesh. Now not only have we found joy and happiness in Mistress Jamanen, but in each other."

Mrs. Berkly's expression turned from one of fear to one of understanding. She could see how happy we were and that we truly meant no harm.
"What do I have to do to accept this gift?" She asked
"Just relax and let us do all the work" I said as we stretched out our hands to her and Barbara. Mrs. Berkly took my hand and Barbara took Claire's. Claire Kissed Barbara on the cheek
and wrapped her body around the young child as I wrapped mine around Mrs. Berkly's. Barbara's small body made for a quick conversion as she soon melted into the same red slime that Claire and I were made of. Mrs. Berkly took a little longer because she was larger and I wanted to be careful with her frail body. Soon she too melted into wondrous red slime.
We soon felt Mrs. Berkly and Barbara's minds join ours and Mistress Jamanen's as we sent them warm waves of love, acceptance and comfort.
"Welcome to the wonders of the Jellax." Claire said to them. Mrs. Berkly marveled at her new slime body with her green eyes and I could sense her looking through her memories and focusing on one particular one.
Her body soon reformed into that of a woman in her mid 30's as Claire fastened a pink bow-tie on Barbara who giggled with joy. She soon turned to Mrs. Berkly, or Anna, which ever you would like to call her and fastened a fuchsia bow-tie around her neck. "Thank you" Anna said to us, feeling better then she had in years, possibly decades. "You're both very welcome." she said
"Come on Grandma, I want to share my new gift with mommy and daddy." Barbara said dragging her now youthful grandmother along behind her. We followed them to their house and walked in as Barbara's shocked parents discovered their daughter and her grandmother had been transformed into Jellax.
"Mom?" a woman's voice followed by a young man's voice who shouted "Barbara?" we held back a little to spy on a young couple whom had expressions of shock and horror on their faces. The young man with dark hair in his mid to late 20's held his wife, Anna's daughter who had long reddish hair was shaking in fear over these creatures that appeared to by her beautiful daughter and her once elderly mother.
"Yes, Stacy," Anna said to her daughter "It's me." Barbara ran up to her parents and hugged them tightly
"What happened to you two?" Barbara's dad asked looking equally as frightened.
"The nice man and lady saved us from a group of bad men and made us like them." Barbara replied as her father held her in his arms. We walked forward, revealing ourselves, smiling at them happily. Looking at us, for a moment the father suddenly noticed Barbara starting to wrap his arms and body in red slime
"GREG!" Stacy Shouted "BARBARA, PLEASE STOP"
"But mommy," Barbara said, her slime now covering his upper body up to his head and part of his hips "This is nice, and we can be together forever with grandma and Mistress Jamanen."

Stacy then noticed her mother hugging her from behind, covering her in slime as well. Soon the young couple melted just as Anna and their daughter Barbara did and joined with us, them and our queen. They then understood just how much better it was to be a Jellax and they marveled at their transformed bodies, feeling the waves of love and warmth entering their minds. Claire tied a royal Blue bow-tie around Greg's neck
and a gold one around Stacy's.
"Now do you understand, Stacy?" Claire asked her cheerfully
"Yes, I do." Stacy replied holding her daughter in one arm and wrapping the other around Greg. "Thank you both for sharing your gift with our family"
I smiled and replied "No need to thank us, thank Mistress Jamanen for bringing to humanity the peace and joy only she can give."
"So," Claire smiled "Are you ready to help spread your new gift to your friends and neighbors?" The family needed no further prompting as their eyes lit up and they soon dashed out of the house with us. The six of us went around the neighborhood, spreading our gift to everyone we could and soon sounds of joy and laughter were ringing out in the street and from the homes of every person living in a 10 block radius of their house.
"So smooth" one new Jellax woman commented
"Soo niiiiiiiiiice." a man said.
"Thank you Mistress Jamanen!" another Jellax purred.
"We love you Mistress Jamanen." a forth mused.
"Not too bad" Claire said as we fastened Bow-ties to those whom didn't have one.
"And this was my first time doing this." I replied, feeling extremely good that we helped so many today. Suddenly the sea of Jellax turned in one direction as a smaller group of Jellax with Jamanen at the head advanced on our position. Suddenly Claire and I were caught up in the feelings of joy that our queen and mother stirred up in us and the other Jellax.
"JAMANEN!" We all shouted in mass as we clapped and cheered our Mistress. Mistress Jamanen's face was filled with love and joy as were her thoughts. She made her way to the center of the crowd and then announced in her wonderful rich voice "My fellow Jellax, I feel you all joined with me and one another! I can feel your love flowing through me as you can feel mine flow through you! You all love me and I love each and every one of you!!!! You are all my children, and I am your loving mother!!!!" She gave a pause looking over the crowd cheering her. "Soon, very soon, we will spread our gift to the furthest reaches of the universe! No man, woman or child will ever suffer through the pain of being alone or rejected!! Soon we will all be joined as one great happy family!!!!" The crowd cheered her speech and Claire and I felt excited about the prospect of helping more find the happiness we had found.
After we had finished helping Mistress Jamanen tie bow-tie's one everyone's necks, our queen turned to us and said "Good work my children, you have saved many today. I am extremely pleased and proud of you both."
"Thank you, Mistress Jamanen." We said. I started to bow but our queen stopped me saying in a kind loving voice "Marcus, there's no need for such formalities. I know I'm your queen, but your love and respect is all the honoring I need."
"If that is your wish Mistress Jamanen." I replied, and she smiled at me.
"Good, now you two run along and go enjoy yourselves. I will call for you when I need you again"
Claire and I walked hand in hand through the portal back to Nemesis where we spent the rest of the day playing with each other and our fellow Jellax. Later, we re-entered the pool and hugged and kissed each other passionately as we melted into one. Our minds became one with so many others, and more would join us soon. I was glad that we had helped so many today.
Having fulfilled our Mistress will, by spreading Joy to the masses.
know I'm your queen, but your love and respect is all the honouring I need."
"If that is your wish Mistress Jamanen." I replied, and she smiled at me.
"Good, now you two run along and go enjoy yourselves. I will call for you when I need you again"
