Chap. 2 - Jade: Get This Party Started
'I can't believe it's been a whole year since I've seen Davey! I'm so happy she's back!' I jumped around my room excitedly. Bec lifted his head lazily to watch for a minute before laying it back down.
"Jade?" Grandpa call from down on a lower floor, "Jade, what's all the hub-bub-baloo up there!?"
"Sorry!" I called back shoving the rest of my pj's into my green flowered bag. Stepping on to the teleporter, I was zapped down into the living room where my Grandfather was sitting reading a book, "Grandpa, I'm going to Dave's tonight, is that alright?"
"Dave? Dave, huh?" Grandpa rubbed his chin, "I don't know how I feel about you staying at a boy's house."
I sighed adjusting the thin rimmed glasses on my nose, "Dave is Davinity. Davinity Strider? John's best friend."
"Oh, oh yes! The little gender-confused-girl-boy. Yes, that's alright with me, why don't you have your cousin drive you there." Grandpa said looking back at his book, "He's outside practicing his shooting, you should go talk to him. See if he'll take you into town." Nodding I stepped back on the teleportation pad to get outside.
The wind blew the ocean air in softly causing the grass to bend and bow, and I took a minute to appreciate the beautiful senery, even though I got to see every day. There were gunshots off in the distance and I took that as my cue to move. I followed a little dirt path from the teleporter that led to a shooting range that I used, along with my grandpa and cousin too, to practice their marksmanship. A lone figure in green was shooting the tar out of the practice dummies.
I greatly admired my cousin's ability with guns, he was always able to hit his mark. I'd only met him a couple of months ago, but I felt an immediate connection to him. The two of us normally bonded over things like guns and adventure. For as long as he's been here he still hasn't gone and explored the town, granted we did live on an island on the most secluded part of the city, but still. For an adventure lover he had yet to have an adventure while he was here.
"That was awesome, Jake!" I called as I got closer to him. Jake wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand,
"Ah, thank you very much, Jade." He smiled, "What brings you out here on this jolly good day?"
"Grandpa told me to ask you if you'd take me into my friend's house."
"Is it Rose's, 'cause.. I'm not quite sure I'll be able to handle another drunk Miss Lalonde run in..." Jake shuttered at the memory of the last time he took me to the Lalonde house and Rose's older sister Roxy saw him while she was drunk. I chuckled lightly,
"Well yes and no. We have to go pick up Rose, but you'll be taking us to Dave's house."
"Dave? Grandfathers already okay-ed this, right?"
"Of course!" I smiled at the worried look Jake had on his face. Jake placed his guns back in the holsters and cracked his knuckles,
"I think I should meet this chap. I don't want you staying with any random boy-"
"He's not random, Jake. He's not even a he, he's a she!" I explained watching face to falter and shift into a confused one. I continued, "Her real name is Davinity. She's the one I was telling you about before, the one who's been gone away at the gifted school." I grabbed onto his hands and started to bounce, "And she just got back and me and Rose really wanna see her. So pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty please will you take us?"
Whether it was the puppy dog face I was giving him that caused him to agree, I'll never know. Jake nodded, "Righto, I'll take you to this bo- er girl's house. Two conditions though-"
"Yay! Anything!"
"One, Rose must be waiting outside for us when we get there, and two, I want to meet this young lady and her parents before I leave you there." I nodded so enthusiastically that my glasses almost flew off my head.
"Yeah, yeah of course! I'll send Rose a message in the car, but you won't be able to meet Dave's parents, since no one's seen them for seven years.. Oh! But you can meet Dirk. Dirks his older brother, he's like 20 or something- You'll like him." I winked as I took off towards Jake's jeep, leaving Jake to ponder what I could have meant by that.
In the jeep I pulled out my laptop and logged into pesterchum. My list popped up;

I had just closed my computer and stuffed it into my overfilled bag as Jake climbed into the driver's seat and started the car. "All ready, yes?"
"Yeah!" I nod, "What time is it?!" I smile at my cousin, who smiled in return and pushes on the gas,
"Adventure time!" Squeals of delightment echo as the car speeds down the very narrow dirt path that connects there island to the mainland. The ride into Rose's house took almost 40 minutes, Jake just barely missing an attack by the older, very drunk, Lalonde sister. Rose climbed into the back of the jeep.
"Hello Jake, Jade."
"Hello young Rose."
"Hey Rose! Are you excited?! I'm so excited! I can't wait to see Dave!" I was practically shaking with excitement. I could hear Rose chuckle at my antics, but she said nothing else as we drove to Dave's.
We pulled up to Dave's apartment building and I jumped out of the car before Jake had even put it in park. I could hear Jake calling out for me, but I was too happy to care. 'Dave's home.' Kept circling my mind. Running up the stairs to the front doors of the building I past the elevators and ran up the stairs to floor 12 and right to Dave's door.
The elevators dinged behind me and I heard Jake and Rose shuffle out and walk up behind me. I pounded on the door and after a minute the door opened revealing Dave.
"He-" Dave didn't even get out her greeting before I tackled her to the floor, "DAVE! YOU'RE BACK!"
"FUCKIN- HOLY HELL, JADE!" Dave shrieked as she hit the ground, "You could have simply said hi. This isn't even ironic."
"Oh shut up about your ironic crap. I thought you'd be through that phase by now, cool kid." I laughed standing up, leaving the disoriented blonde girl on the floor, "Davey, I want you to meet my cousin, Jake. Jake, this is Dave."
"It's nice to finally meet you chap, er.. miss." Jake said offering his hand to pull her up. Once Dave's eyes could focus on the guy in front of her, her jaw dropped rather visibly causing me to laugh again. "Miss?" Jake asked snapping Dave out of her current stupor of: 'Holy damn! British Egbert? No, no way. She said his name was Jake.'
"Uh, thanks." Dave took his hand and he pulled her up from the floor, "It's n-nice to meet you, Jake."
"You as well, Dave. I've heard a lot about you from Jade. She speaks quite highly of you, and I can see why. You're very lovely." Jake winked causing Dave to stutter and turn red and Rose to almost break in to hysterics. I sighed shaking my head at Jake,
"Jake! Don't flirt with my friends!" I scolded, "She's not your type anyways. I said you'd like Dirk, not Dave, silly!" Jake chuckled, but didn't get a chance to reply because that was the exact moment that Dirk decided to enter the room,
"Hey Davie, have you seen my shirt? I sat it on the counter during the food fight and now it's gone. Have you-"
And there's Chapter 2~
OH MY GOSH A BRITISH EGBERT. Yeah I'm not even kidding, that's what I think every time I go from John to Jake (Or I guess an American English, if you go from Jake to John)
I wonder how Dirk and Jake are gonna react to each other? Ehehe ;3
Dirk shines in Chapter 3
