One night, while looking out for dangers on the rooftops, Jenny sees a meteor falling into a street. Hopping to the crater, she finds an unblemsihed crystal orb, which she brings home. She finds [[Simon Jacobs|her father]], who knows her secret, doing some tinkering in the garage, and helps him by [[shift]]ing in a bottle of glue from another universe after he runs out. She then heads to her room, where her sister [[Julie Jacobs|Julie]] sees the bauble; Jenny claims that it is a gift from her boyfriend [[Alan (The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles)|Alan]]. | One night, while looking out for dangers on the rooftops, Jenny sees a meteor falling into a street.

Jenny and Julie are then called to the dinner table by [[Mrs Jacobs|their mother]], alongside their father and their little sister [[Jordan Jacobs|Jordan]]. While the Jacobs family eat in good cheer, however, a strange negative-image double of Jenny grows out of the orb she left in her bedroom. Jenny walks back in to find the doppelganger looking at herself curiously in the mirror. She explains that she is a [[Vertginite]], one of a species of alien doppelgangers. Jenny, revealing herself to be struggling with some kind of depression, surprises the duplicate by offering to let her take over her life. However, Jenny recovers her senses when the duplicte states that when she spoke of “taking over”, she meant taking over the entire [[Earth]]. | Jenny and Julie are then called to the dinner table by [[Mrs Jacobs|their mother]], alongside their father and their little sister [[Jordan Jacobs|Jordan]].

* | * Chapters 1 and 2 of this story feature [[Jenny Everywhere#Onboard the Wilson|a Jenny]] with the standard Jenny Everywhere look of a lean Asian young woman with short hair, wearing a scarf and goggles; her scarf is a grayish beige with red strips on each end. While adventuring with [[Michael Wherever#Onboard the Wilson|Michael Wherever]] onboard the ''[[Wilson]]'', this Jenny had dyed one lock of her hair crimson, but she seems to have abandoned this trait by the time she meets [[Julian]]. | ||
* Chapter 3 features [[Jenny Everywhere#Jenny Jacobs|“Jenny Jacobs”, alias “the Shifter”]], a teenaged superhero in [[Westbrook]], [[Wisconsin]] and the adopted daughter of [[Simon Jacobs]] and [[Mrs Jacobs|his wife]]. Neither her day clothes nor her red superhero outfit include goggles or a scarf, although the superhero outfit does include an “S” logo on the chest that resembles the scarf of the previous Jenny. | * Chapter 3 features [[Jenny Everywhere#Jenny Jacobs|“Jenny Jacobs”, alias “the Shifter”]], a teenaged superhero in [[Westbrook]], [[Wisconsin]] and the adopted daughter of [[Simon Jacobs]] and [[Mrs Jacobs|his wife]].

* In | * In [[Benj Christensen]]'s earlier [[COMIC]]: ''[[Infinity Apartment (comic story)|Infinity Apartment]]'', a [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Infinity Apartment|very different incarnation]] of [[Jenny Everywhere]] from [[Jenny Everywhere#Jenny Jacobs|Jenny Jacobs]] ended up marrying [[Alan (Infinity Apartment)|a man named Alan]]. This Alan was a non-homicidal [[vampire]], from a different universe than Jenny's, as well as a struggling artist. There is insufficient information in ''The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles'', however, to strictly speaking conclude that its [[Alan (The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles)|Alan]], the off-screen boyfriend of Jenny Jacobs, was definitively a counterpart of that Alan, rather than some other love interest of Jenny's who happened to share the name. | ||
* [[Amy (The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles)|Amy]] and the “Jenny Jacobs” Jenny made cameos at the interdimensional [[Christmas]] party in [[COMIC]]: ''[[Merry Christmas Everywhere (comic story)|Merry Christmas Everywhere]]''. | |||
* In 2010, Benj Christensen created an [[Untitled (Benj Christensen's 2010 Jenny Everywhere Day comic)|untitled one-panel comic]] for ''[[Jenny Everywhere Day]]'' featuring [[Jenny Everywhere#Onboard the Wilson|Jenny]], [[Michael Wherever#Onboard the Wilson|Michael]] and [[Chaos]]. | |||

* The ''[[Wilson]]'', including [[the Illumination|Lit]] and [[Michael Wherever#Onboard the Wilson|Michael]], later reappeared in [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere]]''. Jenny's friendship with Lit was also mentioned in [[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere in the House of Terror (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere in the House of Terror]]'' and [[PROSE]]: ''[[Family Business (short story)|Family Business]]''. | |||
* The [[Abstract]]s were referenced in [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere]]'', which also featured a part of [[Westbrook]] which had been integrated into [[the Redoubt]]; the narration noted that the city was very familiar to Jenny. | |||
* In [[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'', when she suffered from [[shifter hangover]], [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|another version of Jenny]] got glimpses of this story's Jenny Jacobs's life, including [[Simon Jacobs|her father]] and his workshop. | |||
