Together again:
Authors note: Hope you enjoy this chapter. Okay I have no idea how long has it passed in the game or how old Jak was when he was sent to the past so in this chapter Cassidy has grown back to her sixteen year old self.
Six years later in Spargus:
Time has passed, Cassidy has made friends with Damas, he looks and treats her more like she was his own daughter than just his adviser or servant and Cassidy adores him like he was her own father.
Her ability's has helped Spargus a lot, she uses her ability to see into the future to tell when sandstorms are coming, her potion to heal wounded soldiers and sometimes she uses her own spells to defend Spargus.
Cassidy was now a sixteen year old girl, kind, gentle but strong, she has managed to gain the trust of every wastelander she has met, but now she is hopping that her friends in Haven city are okay and Hana was alright wherever she was.
"Come on Cassidy we mustn't be late" said Damas, they have new recruits, she doesn't know who they are but why was she always the one to be dragged to show into places, attend "Royal" affairs and what not,
"Yes Damas" said Cassidy as she walked behind him, she was wearing her white hoodie shirt with ripped off sleeves, shorts underneath a long split skirt, boots, her long white hair that reached her bottom was tied on a pony tail leaving her bangs loose which were kept off her eyes thanks to the goggles that she used, next to her walked her fateful crocodog Ocean spray, once entering the stadium Cassidy put on the hood covering her face.
"Ah your highness so good to see you" said a familiar voice, Cassidy turned around and a smile came upon her face,
"Pecker" she said, Pecker flew down and recognized Cassidy, he looked at her his mouth flew open
"Cassidy, you um, you um" he couldn't say the last words,
"Yep I am all grown up" she looked at her self and said
"Well sort off", Pecker still looked at her with gogglely eyes
"My my your are a very beautiful senorita (girl)", Cassidy smiled and said
"Thank you" then she asked
"Where is Jak and Daxter?", Pecker nodded and said
"You'll see them real soon" with that they entered the stadium.
As always Cassidy sat next to Damas, his throne like she called it was big, she sat on a smaller version of his, but she never really cared, once seated Pecker announced
"Now the competitors have arrived".
In the stadium appeared Jak and Daxter, Cassidy's heart skipped a beat and her hands got all sweaty,
"Oh I hope that he remembers me" though Cassidy as she observed the first stage.
Jak completed the obstacle course, but Cassidy knew the worse was yet to come, she tapped on Damas shoulder and said
"I have seen this young man in my vision, Jak is his name",
"Yes that is his name" said Damas,
"I suggest you don't underestimate him, he is a lot more dangerous and useful than you or any might think he is" said Cassidy, Damas scratch his chin and said
"Really", Cassidy knew that he was planing something.
Finally Jak and Daxter came up to another platform where Damas said
"Congratulations on completing the first course, but don't think it is that easy, now you have to prove your combat skills", he gave Jak the scatter shot,
"You mean go down there and fight actual people, actual people that want to hurt us" said Daxter panicking and then added
"That's it I am sitting on his shoulder", Cassidy giggled a bit, Daxter was still the same scaredy funny otsel she knew.
Her sight settled on Jak, he was just as handsome as she remembered him to be, at first he didn't pay attention to her, but then when he looked at her Jak just couldn't take his eyes off of her,
"Jak what's wrong?" asked Daxter relaxing a bit, Jak kinda spaced out said
"I have seen that girl before", Daxter look and said
"Tough luck, she's probably the daughter of that King Damas".
The fight began, Cassidy was really nervous, what if Jak loosed, she would never see him again, suddenly she noticed that one of the opponents was going to attack Jak from behind, but Jak was too busy to notice so she decided to give him a little help, she cough
"Confusionest", the enemy instead of hitting Jak he hit one of his allies giving Jak enough time to attack back, Cassidy just hopped that Damas didn't noticed, but Damas did noticed something.
He knew that Cassidy was never eager to attend the stadium, but now she was all eager, he scratched his chin one more time and said
"You seem to favor Jak more then the other contestants", Cassidy looked at him and said
"Yes, because he has more potential than all the others I have seen", Damas raised his eyes and said
"Your truly right on that".
No sooner than he said that Jak turns into his dark self and finished off all the other contestants, a few minutes passed and he turned back into his regular old self,
"What was that?" asked Damas,
"Like I said, he is dangerous" said Cassidy,
"The boy has been touched by dark eco" said Pecker,
"Ya and whatever you do don't get him mad" said Daxter, Damas said
"We can use somebody dangerous like you" with that the event was over Jak had a stared at Cassidy as she left,
"I know what's going on here" said Daxter with a big grin,
"What?" asked Jak,
"You like the princess don't you" Daxter said,
"No I don't " said Jak crossing his hands,
"Jak and the princess sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G" Daxter began to sing, but he stopped when Jak gave him a death glare.
Once back in the palace Cassidy took off her hood and asked Damas
"Damas, its not that I am complaining or anything like that but why do you always make me attend anything that is tradition or royal affairs?", Damas looked at her softly and said
"Cassidy I am growing old, I will not always be there and the truth is that I have no heir to take care of this city when I am gone" he paused and then he said
"One day if that ever comes to pass I just want you to be ready",
"Ready?, ready for what?" asked Cassidy, Damas took her to a huge window, it showed all of Spargus
"Someday all of this will be yours" he said, Cassidy was shocked
"But Damas are you sure I am worthy" she said, Damas nodded
"Yes nobody has ever treated this city as well as you have" he said and added as a joke "I am sure that if I appoint anybody else as a ruler the people in this city will be disappointed".
Cassidy smiled and said
"I am honored Damas, but there is something else you should know", Damas looked at her and said
"You can tell me anything",
"First you have to promise not to tell anybody" said Cassidy....
An hour later:
Damas, Cassidy and Pecker were walking to the entrance of Spargus where Jak would be arriving any time now, he just parked in the entrance,
"Good work, we are very impressed" said Pecker,
"Well I know how to defend myself" said Jak scratching his head as he stared at Cassidy, he knows that he has seen her somewhere, if only she took off that hood then he could see her face and he would be sure,
"A sandstorm is brewing, there are plenty of artifacts out there without being recolected, go out there and retrieve them" ordered Damas.
But that was an hour ago, Jak had already returned from the mission, but his mind was someplace else,
"Hey Jak" called a voice, looking behind he saw the same girl that always follows Damas,
"Hey um what are you doing here?" asked Jak, the girl answered
"Just passing through, plus I wanted to see you", Jak stared at her again before saying
"Look I know that this is going to sound weird, but by any chance have we met before?", the girl seemed to smile as she said
"Jak you really do remember me", he was confused now.
She took off her hood revealing her face, immediately Jak recognized that face, her white hair with sky blue tips, her beautiful blue eyes that shined like jewels, that oh so familiar smile that he never forgets,
"Cassidy, is that you?" said Jak amazed, she nodded,
"You are, I mean, wow" Jak stammered, Cassidy giggled
"I see your shocked too cause I am an adult" she said,
"How old are you?" Jak asked out of curiosity,
"I am sixteen years old" answered Cassidy.
Jak he didn't knew what to say, the last time he saw her was two years ago, she was just a ten year old child now there she is a full grown fine lady,
"So uh what are you doing with Damas?" asked Jak, Cassidy answered
"Well I am his advisor, friend, helper and in a pinch" she pointed at a cactus and said
"Hy ho hy oha mary", the cactus grew a few inches taller and had magnificent flowers
"I can do a bit of magic",
"Oh my gosh" said Daxter as he and Jak stared at the cactus, playfully Cassidy closed Jak's mouth and said
"Careful I know a guy who drowned that way", Jak looked away and scratched his head then he realized
"You it was you all this time, you were the Cassidy I met in Sandover" he said,
"I knew that you were going to figure it out soon" said Cassidy with a smile.
There was a pause,
"So what do I do?" asked Jak he expctd Cassidy to take his hand and lead him to his next assignment as she always did but this time,
"Come on Jak, follow me" said Cassidy as she continued like nothing happen.
Jak looked at her for some time before following, she took him to Seem, there was no need to say hello and even if any of them did they doubt they'll get a very welcoming hello,
"Why are you two still here?!" asked Seem in a cold tone,
"We decided to stick around and catch a few rays" said Jak, Cassidy sighted it seems that she has to do all the talking on this one
"Okay Seem we know you want the dark crystal Jak found, but you can forget it he is not going to give it to you so easily" said Cassidy, Jak's eyes went wider than saucer plates, what was she thinking?!.
A smile came across Seems face and he said
"Nothing gets pass you Cassidy, but if you don't mind I will bet Jak a light crystal for his dark crystal, will race leap lizards", Cassidy looked at Jak, he nodded in agreement.
Jak mounted his own leap lizard and Daxter stayed behind to watch with Cassidy.
Like Cassidy knew Jak won and recived the light crystal,
"Well this lizard must have eaten a lot, I hope its not...." Daxter never got to finish the last word for a leap lizard saw him as dinner,
"Yaaaaaa" screamed Daxter as Cassidy chased the leap lizard while Jak talked to Seem.
Finally Cassidy got closer to the leap lizard and said
"Assmotto" then she ordered it to stop, the leap lizard obayed,
"Spit him out" Cassidy ordered sternly, the leap lizard let Daxters body out but kept a hold on his head,
"I mean it, all of him" said Cassidy sternly, the leap lizard spit him out, Daxter fur was covered in drool but he seemed to be fine,
"Daxter are you okay?" asked Cassidy worried,
"Ya I'm fine" said Daxter as he stood up wiping the drool from his face.
They heard a chuckle, looking behind Cassidy and Daxter saw Pecker,
"Pecker how long have you been here?" asked Cassidy,
"Long enough to see Daxter get eaten" said Pecker holding his laughter, Jak returned
"Pecker what are you doing here?" he asked, Pecker cleared his through and said
"I came here to tell Cassidy that its time for her to return to the palace", Cassidy frowned a bit but it was true Damas never liked it when she was out, it seems that he cares about her a lot, looking a Jak one more time she said
"Meet me tomorrow at the beach will have a talk about what is going on", Jak nodded and with that Cassidy left with Pecker.
Jak watched her go, it was great to see her again after all this time, he wondered how long will she stay this time.
In the palace:
Cassidy was worried, if the war which she was sure it should be over cause she saved Errols life was still happening then who or what was causing it this time.
For now she had to wait for one thing that she was sure was that the answers always come in time.
To be continued.....
