Summary-This takes place when Jack is trying to recruit Morgan, told from Morgan's POV.

Disclaimer- I do not own Radiata Stories

Author comments: This is my first fanfic, so please don't be too critical .. I absolutely love this couple! Only because I absolutely love Morgan and while I was playing Radiata Stories I was inspired to write about such a strange pairing.

"Oh…my funds are running out! What should I do?" I panicked. Without my funding I can't complete my research in the magic arts! I pace the lab room, my cloak tail following me.

"Hello?" comes a voice from a young man.

"Huh?" I turn around to see Jack, the young boy from Theater Vancoor, his name has become quite famous around these parts especially after he saved us from the rat infestation in the kitchen, "I know! Why don't you help me with my research? 1,000 dagols is all I ask!"

"Sure," he smiles and hands me 1,000 dagols, I have to admit his wooden breastplate was looking quite charming on him.

"Thank you! This will help me a lot with my research!" I say cheerfully.

He leaves after that, and I continue my research. I go out of the room and travel to Black Rose General Store.

"Hello!" Rose greets me.

"Hello Rose," she is surprisingly nice to me, considering her reaction to most of her customers.

"What'll it be today Morgan?" she asks.

"Um…10 Startle Powders," I say taking out my 1,000 dagols Jack had given me.

"Oh, wow, that's a lot of money you got there!" she says somewhat amazed.

"Ha, yeah, a boy named Jack donated this to me!"

"Is he cute?" she asks.

As much as I hate gossiping with Rose of all people, we end up talking about Jack for hours, though…she mostly just complains how he takes forever to pick out an item. Then again knowing Rose, Jack probably only spent five minutes in the store before she got tired of him, I pretend to be interested in her conversation.

"Oh is it that time already?" I said as the clock struck 21:55.

"It is closing time!" she says happily, "hey we're going to go to Carl's Pub later, care to join?"

"Naw, it's late, I'd rather go to sleep, I'm tired!" I yawned.

"Suit yourself," she shrugs as we walk outside.

"See you later Rose," I wave.

"Bye Morgan!" she said walking off.

Once I got home, I flopped onto my bed and immediately fell asleep.

Again I'm in my lab, and my funds are still empty.

"I still need more funding!" I shriek.

"Hey Morgan!" comes Jack's voice from the door.

"Jack! Can you help me with my research? 3,000 dagols is all I ask," I beg.

"Ha, sure!" he hands me 3,000 dagols.

"Thank you!" I scream, and then I ran to the beakers. I spent hours and hours working on formulas and running out to buy things. I never even noticed Jack leave.

When I hear Professor Curtis's voice outside asking if I was still researching, it was 22:00.

"Oh no, I was supposed to go to Carl's Pub with Roche and Rose!" I wailed. By the time I had gathered all of my things, it was already 1:00, "I might as well just go home…they're probably so drunk they fell asleep at the table already…"

"As I walked into Orso Apartment, Felix walks past me, goes into his room, and slams his door shut.

I bet a guy was stalking him again, he looks so feminine! I always hear Cornelia and Leona talk about how they think he is so much prettier than them. The first time I saw Felix, I thought he was prettier than me too. Well that was…until he got so drunk at a party in Black Town of Night and Lust and he ripped off his mages robe and it as revealed he was a guy. That was when I was a student, though it wasn't too long ago, just 3 years.

I opened the door to my apartment, and the first thing I see is my coach. It's blue, like my clothes, and next to it is my bookcase, I walk over to it and reach for The Mysteries of the Dark Arts. I get so absorbed into reading about summoning dragons and other creatures; I only stopped once my alarm clock rang.

"Oh my gosh!" I sprang up from my comfortable spot on the coach, "I can't believe its 5:35 already!"

I put some bread into the toaster and then I ran to my room to get changed. My room is so clean, something that almost never occurs. But I don't have time to marvel at my wonderfully clean room, so I rush to my closet. When I open the door to the closet I shuffle through the racks of clothes, only to find a lot of party clothes.

"Where is my witch's cloak?" I groan as I rummaged through my closet, "Oh…I know I have one around here somewhere…"

About half and hour later I sprint out of my front door with toast in my mouth and research books in my hand, and I ran to Vareth Magic Institute.

As I opened the front door to the institute Roche greets me with her blank expression, "Hi Morgan! You're late, that's a surprise!"

"Heh, yeah, I didn't sleep a wink last night," I laugh as I walked over to her front desk.

"Busy reading again?" she asks jokingly.

"Yeah, how was last night?" I asked I wanted to know what I missed out on at Carl's Pub.

"Oh, Rose was so drunk; she fainted right in front of Professor Curtis's house," she smirked.

"Really?" I laughed, "What happened after that?"

"I had to take her home obviously," came Ursula's voice from behind us.

"Ursula! It's been awhile since I've seen you!" I smirk.

"What's that smirk for?" she asks.

"Oh nothing, it's just there were rumors," I said staring at her.

"Rumors, about what?" she blushes.

"Hmm…one can only wonder," I laugh.

"Really, what is it?" she begged.

"Well…only that you and Derek were together."

"What? There is nothing between us!" she said her face turning crimson.

Me and Roche laugh at how red she turns. Then the main bell rings and I bid them adieu. I walked into the Star Tower Research Lab #1, then it suddenly hit me, all my funds were still dry! As soon as I walk into the room I sit on a chair and flop onto the desk.

"How am I supposed to get funding now?" I groan.

"Hey!" comes Jack's familiar voice from the door.

"Jack!" I yelped jumping up and grabbing him, "Please Jack! I need 9,000 dagols!"

"That's it?" he asks.

"Well…you don't have to, I mean, I could come up with the money on my own…" I said feeling guilty.

"It's okay, 9,000 dagols? Here ya go!" he laughed as he gave me the 9,000 dagols.

"Thank you! Thank you Jack!" I squeal.

"No prob.," he said as he walked out the door.

"Thanks Jack!" I yell one last time. Then I ran all the way down to Black Rose General Store.

"Rose! Give me 112 Masks of Enmities!" I yelled as I busted through the door. But she did not answer. Instead, she was slumped over her desk, asleep.

"Rose! Rose! Wake up!" I said shaking her.

"Huh? Whazz going onz?" she said groggily.

"Give me 112 Masks of Enmities!" I urged.

"112!" she said waking up immediately.

"Yes! Hurry!"

"That is a lot! Do you even have enough money?" she said staring at me.

"Yes, yes 8,960 dagols! Here!" I handed her my fundings.

"Wow!" her eyes opened so wide that I think they're gonna pop out of her head, "Where did you get this money?"

"From Jack," I grinned.

"Jack…is he that one guy from Theater Vancoor who was promoted to sergeant recently?" she said looking at me.

"When was he promoted to sergeant?" I asked surprised.

"Do you remember when the princess was kidnapped?" Rose asks.

"Yeah," I answer.

"Well he saved her…err…actually no, they just decided to promote him because Gerald was getting old." Rose continues, then she keeps gossiping about all her customers and how they always take so long just to pick out a few dozen of Panic Powders or Mask of Enmity.

"Rose, its 23:00, I think I'm gonna head home," I yawned.

"Oh, well I need some sleep too," she said lazily.

"Not going out for a drink tonight?" I joke.

"Ha, no way! I got too wasted the other night…err last night!" she laughs.

"Well goodnight!"

"Seeya later Morgan," she said waving to me as I walked out her door.

This time when I get home, I fell asleep as soon as I laid in my bed.

"Wah!" I cry as my alarm goes off. It's already 11:00 and I'm not at the institute! As I rummage through the closet to get my witch's cloak, I realize that, again, my funds are still dry.

I slowly walked to Vareth Magic Institute, how am I gonna get funding now?

I can't believe I used up all my funding again! I stomp around the room angrily and then I start crying, softly.

"Morgan? Are you all right?" comes Jack's voice from the door. He's been coming around here a lot recently. I wonder why?

"Yeah I'm okay," I answer my eyes still teary.

"What's up, you're crying," he says trying to comfort me.

"Well…it's just…my funds are all gone again…" I sigh.

"How much do you need?" he asks me.

"30,000 dagols is all I ask," I say.

"Sure here ya go!" the young boy in front of me smiled.

"Wow! Thanks Jack! Thank you so much!" I jump up and hug him, "This'll help me so much!"

"No prob. Need any help on your research?" he asks, I guess he wants to help me.

"Sure," I smile happily.

"Cool, what do you need me to do?"

"Well, first you need to run down to the Black Rose General Store and get me as many things as you can with that 30,000 dagols you funded me with," I demand.

"Kay," he says running off.

Half an hour later, he comes back with a lot of supplies. We get right to work, dumping some of the material in water then mixing it together. Then we pour it all into one beaker, which makes the water turn bright purple.

"Okay, stand back Jack this might get a little messy," I tell him, and then I pour the mixture on the floor and…POOF! A little thunderwolf appears.

"Jack! Thanks to you I have completed my research on black magic! How can I ever repay you?" I squeal, happy at my success.

"Why don't you join my team?" Jack looked eager his brown eyes staring into my blue eyes, "C'mon it'll be fun to be on my team!"

"Okay, I'll help you out anytime!" I laughed.

"Morgan!" I heard Professor Curtis calling me, "I need your assistance!"

"Well Jack, I have to go, but I'll be glad to help you out," I said waving as I walked out of the lab.

"Yeah seeya!" he said walking away as well.

Yeah...I know its not that great...but I'll keep updating anyways!
