Prologue:
It was a spring day in Burgess. The birds were chirping and singing. The sun was shining brightly and proudly. In the Overland household, breakfast was being made and a snoozing Jackson was about to get a wake-up call.
Pippa slowly cracked open the door and peeked inside. A sleeping Jack was turned away from her, hiding under the covers. She giggled like the little girl she was and stepped into the room. She froze, standing in the middle of the room with her pitcher of water, when a floorboard squeaked. She glanced at the floor and by the time she looked back at the presumably still sleeping Jack and sighed softly. A moment later she stood over the bundle of covers with a goofy grin. She yanked them back and tossed the water onto the bed. She waited for the suprised shout but it didn't come.
Just as she was about to turn around, an ice cold spray hit her back. She screamed in a high pitch voice and turned around to see a snickering Jack.
"Jack! It's not funny!" She cried, embarrassed.
He laughed,"Oh, well. Guess you'll have to try and get me next time." He smiled.
"I will get you next time! You just watch!" She dashed out, a determined look set on her face.
Jack sighed. She was getting more persistent. He heard her get up at five this morning! Although the day already felt long, he knew it was only begining.
"Jaaack! Pippaaaa! Breakfast is ready!" He heard a yell from downstairs.
Jack ran down the stairs and looked hungrily at the little omlets. He grabbed a plate and started on his first meal of the day.
"Jack?"
He looked to his mother,"Hmm?"
"Aren't you leaving for a hiking trip today with Aster?" She asked innocently.
He wasn't fooled. He knew she was excited to have the house alone with her husband. Pippa was spending the next few weeks at a summer camp, and she was all too ready to try out the new pranks he taught her. Jack knew his mom was happy but he also knew she was worried about him.
He swallowed,"Yes, Mom. Relax, I'll bring tons of sunblock, hats, sunglasses, and if I'm suddenly blinded by something I'll keep a special stick near-by." He smiled.
"Jack." she replied warningly,"Don't mess around out there. You're mutch more prone to..to..well something to happen, what with your condition and all. Stay hydrated and keep a phone on you. Call as much as you need and-HEY! KEEP A COMPASS ON YOU!" Jack had started walking up the stairs halfway through the lecture, when his mom started to babble.
Grabbing his duffle bags and hiking backpack he headed out the door. He was bombarded with forehead kissed and hugs. Pippa was hugging him so hard he thought he heard a bone snapp. And he was pretty sure there would be a red mark on his forehead from his mothers kisses. He told his family bye and left a message on his dad's phone letting him know he was leaving. He was out on work but he'd be back before Pippa left for camp.
Aster's unyeilding beeping from in front of his house made him break into a jogg to get to the car.
"Ready, mate?" He yelled through the open window.
"Yep!" He hopped into the Jeep and Aster took off down the street.
Jack suddenly remembered what riding in a car with Aster was like and sighed.
"You alright, mate? You look a little paler than usual!" He laughed.
Jack smiled weakly and cringed at what he knew would soon follow. Soon enough, Aster had the radio up to 'Are my ears bleeding because I can't tell through all the vibration' and he sunk a little more into his seat as he endured the torture of Aster's lovely voice.
