A/N: So, I understand I really should stop starting new fanfics and not continuing them, but I keep getting ideas. If there's a particular one that you would like me to continue, tell me. Other than Recreate. I'm almost done with the next chapter of that. So, yeah, here's a new story…This is supposed to be in the Hork-Bajir valley, but the accuracy won't be to great.

Relaxation + Jake Bad

Chapter One

The hole in the wall.

That's pretty much where this story begins.

I'm Cassie, by the way. If you don't know the story by now, I'm sorry. I have to get to this story.

"You need to relax!" I yelled at Jake, who was cradling the fist he had just taken out of the wall.

"How do you know I need to relax," He yelled back. "Maybe I like being stressed out! Maybe I like pulling my bloody fists out of the wall!" He went to punch the wall again. I held his hand back.

"Jake, I'm just trying to help. I think you need to relax."

"I think I don't. I can't relax. My family is gone and I have to lead my friends to their deaths, still!" Jake wasn't yelling anymore, he was just talking. "You need to stop trying to help. Because you just can't." Jake left the room, still holding his fist. I walked out after him and watched him until he got to the woods.

After he disappeared behind the trees, I sat down on the grass and put my head in my hands. I cried. Why was he doing this? Why is he pushing us away when he needs us most?

"You're right, you know." A voice said from behind me. Marco. "Jake really needs to calm down. He'll have a heart attack the next time someone taps him on the shoulder."

"I know. I'm really worried about him."

"Me too." I looked over at Marco. The look on his face was so foreign. It was so…serious.


"We need a way to somehow force him to relax." Marco told the others in the little house we were sitting in. "Can you guys think of anything?"

There was a long pause. A long pause.

"Anything?" I asked.

((Um…Well, we can't exactly take him to like a beach or spa or anything.))

"Yeah. We're kind of in this valley because we're not supposed to be seen," Rachel said. "I mean, we could try to get him a Hork-Bajir massage, but he probably enjoys his spine being inside his body."

"Well, we have to try," I said. "This isn't healthy for him."

"Hey, Ax," Marco said loudly, as Ax wasn't paying much attention. "Is there any Andalite device the Princes or anyone use to make them relax?"

((Um…No…Well…Kind of.)) Ax replied. ((There is a device Princes use so they lose the ability to have…well, smart thoughts. It only affects them for a short time, but it seems to help them calm down.))

"How short of a time?" I asked.

((On Andalites, the Laxare, which is what the device is called, only affects them for ten of your minutes.)) Marco rolled his eyes at the end of that sentence. ((On Jake, I am not sure, but probably not much longer.))

"Is there anyway you could make this device?" Marco asked.

((I could try…))


We had been standing outside the hut while Ax worked for several hours.

"When is he going to be done?" Rachel asked, laying on the ground looking incredibly bored. "I'm so bored."

"C'mon, Xena, just be patient." Marco told her.

"Yeah, he should be done-" I was cut off by Ax coming out of the hut with something in his hands. "Now."

((Where is Prince Jake?))

A/N: Okay, that was really hard, writing as Cassie. I kind of avoided going into her head to much, if you didn't notice. Well, review. Or don't, whichever you prefer…I'll give you candy if you do review though…actually, I won't. I just want reviews…Is that so bad?
