The Dream Catcher
Author's Note
Rewritting Dream Catcher
As a note, the "dream catcher" in this story is no way related to any native american traditions. I am merely borrowing the item we know as a dream catcher and using it in a different way. Please do not expect anything normal in this story. Also I do not own any characters that belong to Naughty Dog. All things belong to their respective owners. This is a silly, humorous, fictional and abstract story. Characters may not behave as they do in the game series.
Thank you and Enjoy
Please be patient, it will take a while as it has been around 2 years since I first wrote this.
In this story Daxter is in his ottsle form. All characters belong to their respective owners.
Jak got this new house last week not far from the village. He had just asked Keira to move in with yesterday and was bringing over more of her boxes. When he arrived his house he noticed there was a strange package on the doorstep. It was quite small, rectangular and was rapped in cloth.
"It must be Keira's." Jak said.
After he picked it up he went inside and placed it on the table. Jak placed the other boxes down on the floor and sits in a chair. Daxter walked in and noticed the package. He made his way to the table, hopped up and pointed at the package.
"What's this - a diaper?" Daxter asked as he made a face. Jak shrugged and shook his head.
"I don't know." Jak replied. Daxter picked up the package and shook it.
"Hmm…nope." Daxter answered his own question.
"Hey! You might break it!" Jak yelled as he jumps to take the package away from Daxter.
"Uh-uh not this time…" Daxter smiled as he scurried his way up a shelf with the package.
Daxter opened the package and pulled out a small glass dream catcher. In the center of the dream catcher is a J. On the J are the letters A and K.
"It's for you Jak." Daxter frowned and tosses the dream catcher to Jak. Jak caught the dream catcher and stared at it for a few seconds.
"Well nothing big here to do. I'm going to go see if there's any good entertainment going on." Daxter stated as he hopped off the shelf and walked out the door.
As Jak was putting the dream catcher up, Keira walked threw the door. With Jak in the way, she couldn't see exactly what he was hanging up.
"What's that?" Keira asked Jak. Jak stepped aside to show her.
"It's a dream catcher." Jak replied with a smile.
"Where'd you get? I haven't seen any around here." Keira asked shaking her head.
Keira stepped closer to the window to get a better look.
"It was on the doorstep when I walked in." Jak answered.
"Must be from someone who knows you, it has your name on it." Keira looked at Jak.
"Why would they leave it anonymously? We know everyone here." Jak questioned.
"Maybe they weren't sure you'd like it? Or maybe they feel silly about giving it to you?" Keira replied. Jak sighed and looked back to the door. There was a lot more boxes waiting to be moved.
"We should finish getting you stuff." Jak said. The two left and went to get the rest of the boxes.
A week later, Keira is fully moved in and the house is at rest…kind of.
"You completely destroyed it! It took forever to build that! How could you do that?!" Keira yelled as she chased Daxter around the house. He was still holding the zoomer steering wheel as he ran.
"It was an accident! I just-" WHAM! Daxter slammed into the closed window where the dream catcher was hung. The dream catcher is knocked off the window hook. While it was falling Jak was walking in with some stuff. The dream catcher smashed into a million pieces on the floor.
"Ow…who closed the window?" Daxter rubbed his face. Keira growled and Jak stood in the doorway.
"You're breaking everything today that's the- " She was cut off by a strange light. The broken pieces began to glow. They caught fire and burned to ash. The fire disappeared. "Was that supposed to happen?" Daxter blinked in amazement and confusion.
"What else did you break?" Jak looked at Daxter.
"Later." Daxter smirked and walked out. Keira watched Daxter leave and then looked back at Jak.
"Just about everything he touched." Keira folded her arms and frowned.
"I see, well it's late…we should get some sleep. The two head off to bed.
Daxter(where ever he was staying that night) tossed and turned in his sleep.
"No who?...uh…sure...Ahhhhhhhh!!" Daxter yelled. He sat up with half closed eyes.
"Oh(pant), it was just a dream..." He yawned and got out of bed.
He walked over to the fridge and opened the door. He reached his hand in feeling for the milk.
"Where is that milk-(something hands him the milk)- thanks-(opens his eyes)Ah!" He screamed as he spoted little people in the fridge.
