The next day, Jack was awoken to the feeling of a tongue licking his muzzle. He opened his eyes and saw Astro, "Mama!" She squeaked.
The teen jackal chuckled a bit as he pulled Astro into a hug. He then looked around his padded cell of a room to see Jill wasn't there. Cautiously, he crept out of his room and into the dangerous hallway while Astro followed him. Suddenly, he tripped on a floorboard and cloudn't get up so he crawled on his belly towards the kitchen. Finally reaching there, he finally got to his feet and put his arm on the counter for leverage. Little did he know, there was a knife holder near his arm and he accidentally knocked it off, knives falling and stabbing into his head. With 8 knives stabbing into his skull, Jack whimpered softly in pain as his blood dripped onto the floor. Adorably, Astro mewed and licked Jack's blood off the floor.
Walking into the kitchen, he saw Jillian and she gasped and ran over to him, "Oh my goodness, Jack. Are you all right?"
Jack tried to laugh the pain off, a bloodstained tear rolling down his cheek, "Yeah...just fine. Just...another day in the life of Jackson Wells, haha."
Jill removed the knives from Jack's head and he forced a smile at her despite the agonizing pain. She then wiped down the stab wounds with a cloth that had disinfectant on it and smiled at him, "So, how did you sleep last night?"
Jack smiled, "Much better than most nights. Then again, I had you by my side."
Jill leaned forward and kissed Jack on the cheek and the two of them giggled. A toilet flush was suddenly heard and Mindy came out of the bathroom. She smiled at her son and his girlfriend, "Good morning, you two!"
"Uh mom, I just got 8 knives embedded into my skull. Sure sounds like a great way to start off the day." Jack said sarcastically to his mother.
Mindy chuckled and rubbed her son's head, "Aw...we all sometimes may have a bad start, sweetie but today will be a wonderful day. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, your girlfriend is here and you get to spend the weekend with her. Isn't that great?"
Jack smiled, "You know, mom. For once, you're right. After breakfast, I think I'll go have fun with Jill. She's only here for the weekend and I won't be seeing her for a while."
Jill smiled and put her arm around Jack while Astro perched on his shoulder. Mindy gasped suddenly, "The three of you look so adorable together! Just stay like that, I'll get my camera!" Jack and Jill smiled as they gazed deep into each other's eyes as Mindy looked through the cabinets and took out a camera. She smiled at the three, aimed the camera and clicked the button, "There's one for the scrapbook!"
Suddenly, Damian barged into the house and floated up to Jack, "Yo, cuz. I need the cash for my twang twang."
Jack rolled his eyes and gave Damian the stack of play money, "Here you go, have fun buying your new banjo."
Damian grinned, "Thanks, cuz."
Meanwhile, Kayla and Spam were watching Sahara on the drama class stage. She was trying out a new routine since her magic had failed her so many times. Pressing a button on a radio, Carl Carlton's "She's A Bad Mama Jama" started playing and Sahara started doing the classic Michael Jackson Thriller dance to the song.
By the time she finished, Kayla was clapping, "Bravo, Sahara! That song and dance work really well together."
Spam had a wide smile on his derpy face and his tongue stuck out, "What's a mamma jamma?" He blinked his bright blue eyes a few times, "Does it have to do with pyjamas?"
Kayla giggled a bit and smiled at Spam, "Well Spam, it's..." She leaned into Spam's ear and whispered and he blushed.
"Wow! That sounds like Vanex all right!" Spam chuckled.
Sahara smiled, "I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm not doing so well with magic, so I thought I'd try working something different."
"You're welcome." Kayla replied, "I'm sure you would do well with dance scholarships. She's not the nicest girl, but you might want to get some tips from Camilla."
Sahara shrugged, "Meh, I'll pass. It's my own routine and I don't need her input."
Suddenly, Zill entered the room and sat down by Kayla, "Sorry about being late. Taylor and I were shooting some hoops in the gym."
Kayla turned to Zill, "So, did you tell Jack yet?"
Zill hung his head, "No...not yet."
Kayla blinked and crossed her arms, "Now would be the perfect time to talk to him. By calling him, you don't have to break the bad news to his face, you can just do it over the phone."
"I know, I..." Zill replied.
"I'm calling Jack." Kayla said, dialing Jack's number on her cell.
Zill bit his lip and whimpered, "No! Uhhh...I know Jack better than you do, Kayla. Every Saturday around this time, he's in the shower and can't answer the phone!"
Kayla finished dialing the number, it started ringing and Jack's voice came on the line, "Hello?"
Kayla spoke into the phone, "Hi Jack, it's me Kayla. Zill would like to talk to you about something."
Kayla handed Zill the phone and he spoke nervously into the phone, "HeyJackhowsiseverythinggoing withJill?FineokayIjustplayedbasketbal lwithTaylorbye!"
Zill hung up and Kayla glared at him, "Some friend you are!"
Zill sighed, once again he blew his chance to tell Jack. He just didn't have it in his heart to tell him about the new law.
Meanwhile, Damian was looking at some banjos in a pawn shop when he floated up to the cashier and set a banjo on the display case, "So, how much is this banjo?"
"25 bucks" the clerk responded.
Damian grinned and set the play money on the table, "Looks like I got me a new banjo then."
The cashier closely inspected the money and shook his head, "Sir, I'm afraid I can't take this kind of currency. You see, this is from a monopoly game. It's not even real money."
Damian's expression went from confidence to outright rage, "PLAY MONEY!?"
The cashier nodded, "You don't know the difference between real money and toy money? Are you blind or something?"
Damian could feel his blood boiling, "Excuse me, I need to go outside."
Damian floated outside and whipped out his cellphone, dialing Jack's number. Jack was at an amusement park with Jill when he answered the phone, "Hello?"
Damian screamed into the phone, "PLAY MONEY?! JACK, YOU PIECE OF $%¥÷! NEXT TIME I SEE YOU, I WILL SHOVE THAT FAKE MONEY OF YOURS RIGHT UP YOUR-"
"I love you too, Dame. Bye!" Jack replied clicking off his phone.
Jack and Jill exchanged glances and both burst into laughter. Jill grinned at Jack, "I can't believe you pranked your cousin like that! Jack, you're a genius!"
Jack chuckled a bit, "My cousin kept begging me for money, so I let him have it!"
"No kidding!" Jill chuckled.
The jackal and shapeshifter smiled at each other and Jill spoke up again, "I know we're supposed to be taking things steady, but would you like to ride the tunnel of love with me?"
Jack blushed, "Oh, of course. I'd be more than happy to!" Suddenly, a random meteor fell out of the sky and knocked Jack's head clear off his body. Jill giggled, picked up Jack's decapitated head, kissed his head on the nose and screwed it back onto his body. Jack smiled at her, "Thanks, Jill."
And with that, Jack and Jill walked over to the tunnel of love ride and Jill turned to Jack, "So Jack, what did Zill want to tell you on the phone?"
Jack shrugged, "Beats me. He sounded like he was in a hurry, though."
Jack and Jill got on their boat and they started to sail the tunnel of love. Suddenly, another boat sailed up beside them with Mirage and Phineas in it when Mirage spoke up, "Hey, losers! Heads up!"
And with that, Mirage tossed a bomb at Jack and Jill's boat. It exploded and Phineas laughed, "Awww, don't cry about it, Jack. It's not like you can die or anything!" And with that, Mirage and Phineas high-fived each other as Jack and Jill's boat slowly sunk.
Jack grabbed Jill and swam back to shore with her and laid her down and started giving her CPR. Jack was ready to breathe into Jill a third time when her eyes snapped open and she saw Jack's muzzle just inches from her face. Blushing, she took Jack's face in her hands and kissed him. Taken by surprise, Jack jumped back and Jill giggled, "Best rescue ever."
Jill hacked up some water and Jack laughed a bit as well, "Well, technically that wasn't a kiss, I was giving you mouth-to-mouth."
"Kiss or not, it was pretty tasty." Jill smiled as she coughed out some more water.
Jack blushed and sighed, "Mirage and Phineas are just a couple of evil bullies. How about we go on a different ride?"
"Like the merry go round?" Jill suggested.
Jack shook his head, "No, I get motion sickness on that. I might vomit. The ride I'm talking about is the gift shop."
"Ohhhh, THAT ride." Jill laughed.
Meanwhile, Damian was still pouting in the parking lot of the pawn shop. Letting out a sigh, he floated up to Tentadora's hot pink car and got in the passenger's seat, "Jack tricked me, Tenta. Baby feel sad."
"Oh, sweetie, it's all right. I got you something even better!" Tentadora replied, handing Damian a bright yellow kazoo.
Damian looked at the kazoo, his lip quivered and he burst into tears, "IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME!"
Damian cried into Tentadora's shoulder as she hugged him, "Poor baby, I promise when we get home, I'll make you hot koolaid to cheer you up!"
Damian sniffled and pulled away, "Thanks, Tenta!"
NOTE: So how do you like the story so far, fellow Zoophobia fans? Hopefully Fanfiction dot net gets a Zoophobia fanfiction section. That way, I can delete this story and post it there and not in misc. The comic is new (2012) but hopefully it gains enough popularity for its own section on this website.
