Jeannie Bueller (Jennifer Grey)

Jeannie Bueller (Jennifer Grey)




Jeannie had the unenviable position of being Ferris Bueller’s sister. He was the most popular, well liked and lucky person in the town. He always seemed to get his own way and to come up on top no matter what the situation or what the odds were against him. This drove Jeannie nuts. She was insanely jealous of him. He always got things his own way. Things were not the same for her. He also got more attention from his parents as well. She wanted to teach him a lesson in the worst possible way. She had thought for months about a way to get back at her brother. One day she saw something on television that gave her a way to get her own back on her brother. There was a television show that was looking for contestants. The way it worked was that people would write in with grievances against people in their life. The two would appear on the show. It was in a sort of court format. They would present their case and then the other would present their defence against the charges. The audience would act as a jury. They would get to vote on who they felt was right. The person who lost would then receive a messy punishment as their sentence. Jeannie thought that this was perfect. If she could humiliate and mess up her brother on national television it would make everything so much better. She firmly believed that she was right, so did not think that the jury would find against her. They would have to be fair. Jeannie told everyone at the school, in town and her whole family about it. She wanted to make sure that as many people as possible would be watching her humiliate her brother. Most of the Chicago land area would be watching. She was hoping Ferris would be annoyed with her about the whole thing, but he was very cool about the whole thing. He just told her whatever will be will be. This wound Jeannie up even more. She was really looking forward to this. She never considered that her plan could backfire on her. It might all blow up in her face.



The two siblings were prepared in separate dressing rooms for the show. Eventually, it was their turn. Jeannie was announced in the court room. She entered the court as the court was told that she was the plaintiff and the crux of her case was described. She entered and took her place. Her brother was then announced. He entered looking calm and cool. He smiled and waived at everyone. Jeannie glared at him. She felt he was incredibly cocky. She shook her head in discussed. Ferris smiled and offered her his hand to shake. She angrily refused. He shrugged his shoulders and went to his designated area. The judge entered and told everyone they could be seated. “We will now be hearing the case of Jeannie Bueller vs. Ferris Bueller. Miss Bueller if you will begin please,” he requested.



“Miss Bueller, you may present your case,” he said. “Well your honour, my brother here seems to get special treatment from everyone. He gets away with everything. Everyone treats him like he is something special. I don’t think it is fair at all. He gets all the attention all of the time. He seems to be able to do anything he wants and it is ok. If I was to do half of that , I would be in so much trouble. Teachers, parents, other students, he has everyone fooled. Everyone just loves him. I mean what about me? It makes me so mad,” she explained. “Ok, Miss Bueller, I think we understand what your case is. Mr. Bueller it is your turn to defend yourself,” the judge said.



“Well your honour, I don’t think Jeannie is being fair. I have never done anything to her. I can not help the way I am treated by other people. I am just an average guy like everyone else. I don’t think that I am treated specially at all. Plus, I happen to love my sister very much. I am so hurt and surprised at how she feels about me,” he said. “Uggggh! He is doing it again. Can’t you see what he is doing?!,” Jeannie blurted out. “Order in the court room, I will not have you interrupting young lady,” the judge scolded Jeannie. “But…but,” she tried to reply. “If you can not be quiet I will be forced to hold you in contempt.” “Sorry, your honour,” she said sarcastically. She stuck her tongue out at her brother. “Mr. Bueller, you may continue.” “As I was saying, I don’t think that I have done anything to deserve being here today. If I have done anything I am truly sorry.” “Miss Bueller, has your brother ever done anything directly to you?,” the judge asked. “Well, not exactly but…,” Jeannie tried to reply. “Shhh, Miss Bueller, you have answered the question sufficiently.” Jeannie put her tongue to the side of her mouth and shook her head. She was fuming.



“Ok, I think both sides have had ample opportunity to make their case. It is time for the jury to vote. If everyone takes out their voting controllers. Press the button for the person you think has the best case. Ok, time to vote…now.” Jeannie and Ferris waited patiently. Ferris smiled at Jeannie. Jeanne growled at him. The wait was not a long one. Everyone had put their votes in and everything was ready.



“Alright everyone, we have our verdict.” Jeannie took a deep breath. She smiled confidently. “In a verdict that is a landslide. One of the most lopsided votes ever on this show, with 98 percent of the vote. The jury find Mr. Bueller, not guilty of the charges brought against him.” Ferris clapped quietly. Jeannie screamed, “Uggghhhhh!!,” she shouted, “ I can not believe this. This is so unfair,” Jeannie murmured. “Young lady, I am not prepared to have the integrity of this court called into question,” the judge said,” The jury felt that you were holding a grudge against your brother. They feel that he had done nothing wrong. Whatever he has done, is not to you so you should really mind your own business. They feel that you should grow up and get a life.” Jeannie shook her head, totally unwilling to accept what the jury had said. “This is bullshit,” she thought to herself.



“Miss Bueller, you have lost this case. Please come forward for punishment.” Jeannie pointed at herself, “Me? Are you kidding?,” she said incredulously. The bailiffs came to her and she had no other choice but to follow them up, approaching the bench. She stood there in front of the judge. “ Miss Bueller, you were found guilty in this case. Your sentence is for the defendant to take revenge on you by means of mess. Take her away.” “But, this is all wrong, no, I will get you for this Ferris,” she screamed as she was dragged away to the location where the messing would take place. This was not very far, as the chamber next to the judge’s bench was also a gunge booth. She struggled slightly as she was brought there. The bailiff’s were ordered to handcuff her as she was getting rambunctious. She kicked her legs a bit as her wrists were shackled. It was about this time that she remembered that she had made sure that everyone she knew would be watching. They would not be witnessing her getting revenge on her brother, but would be seeing her brother get to mess her up. She glared and shook her head.



“Mr. Bueller, you may come forward. Miss Bueller has lost the case. It is time for her to receive her punishment. Mr. Bueller will get to enact the punishment upon his sister.” Ferris walked forward. “Sorry, sis,” he said disingenuously. He was brought over to the side of the questioning box. Jeannie shook her head. “I can’t believe this,” she muttered to herself. “This can’t be happening,” she thought to herself. Ferris climbed a little set of stairs to the back of the booth. He took his position, slightly elevated behind Jeannie. She gave a sarcastic fake laugh. “Hahaha, very funny. Laugh it up,” she said. She then got serious. “Please, Ferris, don’t do this to me,” she asked. “I’m sorry Jeannie, but this is the only way that you will learn. It is for your own good, at the end of the day,” he said patronisingly.



Ferris started off, strangely, with a big bowl of super noodles. They were the sort of noodles that you would buy five packets for a dollar in the store. They were ultra cheap. They were not the messiest, but they did match the curls in Jeannie’s hair perfectly. They were in a large silver, concave bowl. Ferris stuck his fingers in the bowl, took out about a handful and held his hand over his sister’s head. He then let go, dropping the noodles onto her head. He then picked up another handful, made a funny face and dropped it again onto Jeannie’s head. She stomped her feet and screamed. Her hair was covered in twisting noodles. They hung from her head, dangling over her face. Ferris then tipped the rest of the noodles and all of the noodle juice over Jeannie’s head. She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. Her face comically came forward in one motion. Her face looked distorted. Her face twisted as if she was going to throw up. Her hair was matted in noodles. Noodle juice soaked the top of her head and poured down the sides of her face and the back of her neck. Her parents were at home laughing their heads off about this. Watching this happen to their daughter.



Ferris then took a plastic contained full of egg fried rice and proceeded to dump it over his sister’s head. The rice was bright yellow with bits of egg, peas and meat inside it. It poured out of the container in one go, dropping on Jeannie. A good portion of it stuck to her head, but some dropped down her front and back, down her body. She did her best to wipe her arms. Small bits stuck to Jeannie’s face. She lowered her head, took her hand and cleared some of the rice away from her fringe.



Next it was spiral pasta. Ferris smiled at the jury. Jeannie’s eyes were closed. She had no idea that the pasta was coming. She felt a huge heavy weight of mess hit her. She opened her eyes to see it was spiral pasta. She shrieked and whined. The thick pasta in thick red sloppy pasta sauce poured onto Jeannie’s hair. The spirals again matching the spirals of her hair. The top of her head was soon covered in pasta. Blobs of it fell down her face. She gave a pained expression as pasta rained down over her. Ferris playfully made funny faces and gestures as he poured the sloppy pasta onto his sister’s head. Jeannie spun her head, sending some of the pasta falling down her body. Her front was now dripping in pasta and sauce. “Ugh, it is so gross,” she said. She ran her fingers through her messy hair. She licked her lips as more of the pasta tumbled down her head. She slammed down her hands and kicked her feet like a brat. “This is so gross!!,” she screamed again comically.



Next Ferris grabbed a bucket of applesauce. He raised it in the air and began to dump it liberally onto his sister. It poured down on her, covering her face and soaking her clothes and hair. She closed her eyes as it showered down over her face. It was as if she was having an applesauce shower. It was freezing cold as well. She wiggled and shivered in the messiness. She shook her head angrily as applesauce poured down her distinctive nose, dripping off of the tip of it. She looked like a drowned wet. The applesauce was all over her neck and on her leggings.



Next Ferris brought out a catering sized tin of something. He hid it with his hands at first but then turned it around revealing what it was. “Spam,” he said in a funny voice. “Spam?! Spam?! Are you fucking kidding me,” Jeannie said. She let out a loud whiney shriek. Ferris took the container and turned it over The funny coloured, foul smelling, sloppy meat like substance fell onto Jeannie’s head and rolled down her face. More poured onto her shoulders and chest. One of the most disgusting foods known to man was all over Jeannie. She wiggled to try to avoid the spam, but it was no use. It was everywhere. Even the bits that she managed to avoid just fell down onto other parts of her body. Jeannie put her finger to her mouth and gagged a bit, pretending that she was about to be sick. The more she did stuff like this, the funnier everyone found it. They also could see more and more that she really did deserve this.



Finally, everyone’s attention was directed above Jeannie. Above her was what appeared to be a gunge tank, only it was not filled with gunge. Instead it was filled with dog food. “Dog food,” Ferris said, pointing at the tank. Jeannie could not believe that the tank was full of dog food, or that she would soon be covered in it. All she could do was cross her arms. Ferris went and grabbed the cord, standing off to the side. Ferris bowed as he pulled to cord that released the dog food onto his sister. At first nothing happened. There was a slight delay. Jeannie had braced herself for the impact, but when it did not come when she expected it to, she opened her eyes and looked upwards. This would prove to be a massive error in judgement. As Jeannie looked up, what she saw was tons of dog food plummeting at a good rate of speed at her face. The first wave of dog food landed straight in Jeannie’s face. She received a huge mouthful. When the dog food hit her, Jeannie instinctively threw her head forward. She gagged slightly as she spit out a mouthful of dog food. It was not a good taste. People were howling with laughter. Dog food continued to fall onto Jeannie for what seemed like ages. It was truly vile. Big chunks of thick, disgusting, brown dog food poured all over Jeannie as she wriggled and shrieked. She could attest that the dog food was one hundred percent authentic. She would never forget the smell or the taste as long as she lived. Jeannie was going to have to live with the knowledge that everyone that she knew had just witnessed her get covered in dog food. She would be teased for years to come about this. People mentioning the word dog in front of her would get a good tongue lashing. Right now Jeannie was dealing with the task of trying to remove as much dog food from her person as she possibly could. In this moment her whole world revolved around dog food.



The judge then said that the court room was dismissed. The bailiffs undid Jeannie’s shackles and led her away. Normally she would have tried to flirt with them, but she was in no fit state to do that. She thought of all the guys that would be watching at home. They would have seen this happening to her and would be laughing at her. Getting a date would be even harder, she thought. She was taken out of the courtroom. “I will get you back for this Ferris, if it is the last thing I ever do,” she screamed.



Everyone had watched the show and it only caused Jeannie to get more pissed off with her brother. She felt like it was all his fault even more. She did not see that the whole thing was her fault. She had tried to set her brother up and it backfired on her. It should have taught here a lesson, but she learned nothing. She certainly would never forget it. Her parents thought it was very funny as well and played the tape for the extended family and guests any chance that they got.
