Okay, I've finally got off my arsenal and started writing again, so, novelpetals will write their chap sometime after they read this chapter. Anyway, on to the story of where we left off. Also, from here on, the story will be real time (Events happening right then and there).
Disclaimer: Never owned All-Stars. Never will.
Jak's POV
We entered the mess hall and I'm going break out of my normal personality here, but when I caught the scent of the food in the cafitera. I thought I was going to break down crying when my stomach gave out a loud growl since I had skipped lunch and I had caught the smell of whatever the cooks here made. The smell was heaven compared to all the foods I ate back in Haven and I think there's an excuse since Haven has air polluted by factories and such. When I first came here, I thought that the food here would be something that the schools in Haven serve which is that the foods have no sugar, no salt, and all the meat is just vegetables blended together and made to look like whatever meat they were serving that day.
Boy, was I completely wrong, because this place has a gigantic barrel of sugar and salt near every table and the meat is truly real because about three weeks ago, Daxter got worms from a piece of rare cooked ham and a steak I had two days ago was a medium rare cooked, but it still had some blood in it which, I think made it taste a lot better. Anyway, we went over to the meatloaf line since Fat Princess will be over at the desert buffet for a while. Besides, there might not be anything there when she finnaly leaves that buffet. When I had gotten some food on my tray, Daxter curiously sniffed the food which in turn caused his stomach to growl so loud that every one even the princess who had a mouthful of cake in her mouth looked up at me and Dax with looks of either disgust or confusion.
"Uh...we skipped lunch." I explained to the quiet crowd which went back to talking and eating to their friends. I took the food tray and when I looked over the tables, the thing that really stuck out like a sore thumb was Cole, the Good Cole I mean, and he was just sitting all by himself and not really eating. "Why would you want to sit there with him after the thing that happened at the gym?" Ratchet said as he stood beside me with his tray holding the meatloaf and a bottle of oil for the robot on his back. "He deserves a second chance. Besides, maybe he just doesn't know how to make friends very well." I shruged as I started walking over to the Blue McGrath.
Cole looked up from his very interesting meatloaf when I placed my tray down on the table as I sat down in front of him. "Heya, Sparky!" Daxter said as he hopped off my shoulder and sat down on the table next to my tray. "Hey,rat." The conduit said with a smirk on his face as Daxter yabbered on about how annoying it is that everyone calls him a rat. "Is it alright if we join you?" Clank asked from behind me.
"You can sit here. I don't mind." The lighting user said as he went back to playing with his uneaten food. The Lombax sat down next to me and his robot was up on the table next to Daxter. Daxter smiled as Clank who in turn, grinned back at my sidekick. The next thing I knew, we were talking and laughing and becoming better friends, and of course, when I'm having a good time, fate comes and kicks me in the groin.
Right when Daxter and Clank started mock fighting, Nariko started yelling at Kat for some reason and Daxter had to open his big mouth. "CAAAAAAAAAT FIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!" He shouted at the top of his lungs and the whole place just went so quiet that I could even hear Sly breathing over where he was sitting with Nathan and Dante. Just a second later, Nariko and Kat were going at it and right before Nate could could get up and stop the fight, Kat picked up Fat Princess's tray that was overstuffed with cake and she chucked it at Nariko. Nariko ducked just in time for the tray to slam in Kratos's face since he somehow wound up behind her.
Talk about Lady Luck kicking me in the Precursor orbs.
Nathan Drake's POV
I walked into the mess hall with Sly, Jak and Ratchet, and I think all three of them were on the verge of tears when their noses caught the smell of the food in here. While we were in line, I think Daxter hadn't eaten in a week, because it's like, one second I'm talking to Sly about some pick pocketing techniques and the next second, Daxter's stomach is growling as loud as a lion. Everyone was dead silent with looks of disgust on their faces and they just stared at Jak and Daxter until the elf said that they skipped lunch. Right after that, everyone went back to as if nothing happened.
When Sly and I had gotten our food, we decided to go and sit with the demon hunter, Dante and we were soon talking and joking around with no problem. I was actually becoming friends with some of these people which was a suprise to me since I thought that I was going to have like, one or two friends here. And I guess that Lady Luck broke a heel when Nariko and Kat stood up and Nariko shouted, " He'll never fall for the sham you are!" That's when I heard the fight shout come from a certain orange Ottsel, "CAAAAAAAAAT FIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!"
Then the cat fight did start and everything was a blur and the next thing I knew was that Kat picked up Fat Princess's tray of cake and she threw it at Nariko. Nariko ducked and Kratos finnaly got a taste of cake, and it turns out, Kratos doesn't like sweets. Lady Luck just broke another heel and it turns out that she had a tray full of cake in her hands that went air borne when she fell.
Yay! I finally got this chapter up! So, please review and let us know what you guys think of this so far! I'll be seeing you guys in the next chapter!
