Hello there everyone! Sorry to keep you waiting, but I'm currently addicted to Heroes at the moment and I've been watching it continuously. Onwards with the chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own Jak and Daxter. I just own Connor.
Chapter 9: The Morning After
Keira woke up the next morning and opened the window, breathing in some of that nice polluted Haven City air. Then she remembered what today was...
"OH MY GOD I'M GETTING MARRIED!" Keira yelled. She went downstairs, where everyone that had come to her Hen Night was passed out. "Wakey, wakey, we have a wedding to prepare!" Keira said, clapping her hands. No-one showed any sign of waking up. She placed her hands on her hips, and tapped her foot. "Well I'll just have to get my woodland friends to help me!" she decided and went back up. Keira began to sing out of the window she had opened, and all of the rabbits, squirrels, birds, hedgehogs and other woodland animals came to help Keira get ready for her wedding.
(A/N: I have no idea why that turned out like Sleeping Beauty... it just did for some reason.)

The scream echoed all around Haven City. Jak was standing in the corner, basically having a heart attack. Torn rubbed his eyes sleepily and sat up.
"Jak? Wha's all the noise about?" Torn asked. He looked to where Jak was pointing, and joined him in the corner. Soon enough, nearly everyone had joined Jak and Torn in the corner, all in a similar condition, except for Connor, who had pulled out his camera.
"What's so horrifying about it?" Connor asked. "Dude... are you homophobic or something?"
"When it comes to Erol and Razer, YES!" Jak yelled. At that moment, Erol and Razer stirred, and noticed the crowd standing around them.
"Can we help you?" Razer drawled.
"NO!" Jak yelled. "YOU CAN GET OFF OF MY FLOOR, OUT FROM UNDER THAT SHEET AND DRESSED FOR MY WEDDING!"
"Oh I didn't again..." Erol groaned, burying his face in his hands.
"Yes you did." Razer beamed, and pull Erol into his arms and kissed his forehead.
"JUST LISTEN TO ME!" Jak screeched and stormed upstairs to the bathroom to brush his teeth and have a quick shower. When he came back downstairs, he found Connor lighting a fire.
"Oh hey Jak." Connor said. "Your heater just blew up so I'm burning this suit I found in the back of your wardrobe. It looked familiar for some strange reason though."
"What?" Jak asked, and looked at the burning suit. "HOLY CRAP CONNOR THAT'S MY SUIT – FOR MY WEDDING!"
"What?" Connor said. "Oh! So it is! That's why it looked familiar!"
"ARE YOU COMPLETELY RETARDED?" Jak exploded. Connor's eyes welled up with tears.
"All I wanted was a group of friends who liked me for who I was." Connor sighed. "If you really want me to go, then I will."
"Jak! How could you be so mean!" Daxter snapped, patting Connor on the shoulder. "It's okay Connor, you can stay for as long as you want."
"Really?" Connor sniffed.
"Of course!" Daxter exclaimed. Jak's left eye began to twitch.
"What about my suit?" Jak asked.
"Oh Jak, Jak, Jak, I always come prepared." Razer sighed. "Don't worry, I have a spare."
"Thanks Razer." Jak smiled. "Sorry for my overreaction about you and Erol earlier... though it was kind of frightening."
"Hey! I heard that!" Erol scowled.
"Alright boys, let's make this the best day of Jak's life... even though he's acted like a total bitch to me!" Connor said, glaring at Jak.
"You just get gayer every day." Jak said, shaking his head.

Keira went downstairs, and found everyone awake and ready to go. Her jaw dropped. Tess ran towards her, making adjustments to Keira's veil.
"Hey sweetie, you didn't need to get dressed by yourself!" Tess said.
"I didn't. YOU were all too busy sleeping, so I went upstairs and got freakin' woodland animals to help me get dressed! FREAKIN' WOODLAND ANIMALS!" Keira snapped.
"Doesn't that happen in Sleeping Beauty?" Ashelin asked.
"Since when did you know about fairy tales?" Tess asked.
"Daddy used to make Erol read them to me before bed." Ashelin replied. There was a knock at the door, rousing everyone from disturbing images of Ashelin as a little girl in pink room decorated with unicorns and rainbows with Erol reading bedtime stories in a creepy way.
"Who is it?" Keira called.
"It's me! Your father!" Samos yelled through the letter box. "Let me in!"
"Sorry daddy!" Keira said, and ran to the door and opened it.
"Keira... I thought you were wearing your mother's wedding dress." Samos said.
"I am." Keira replied. "But Connor decided to turn it into the Rocky Horror Picture Show." Keira said.
"Connor?!" Samos exploded. "You mean that Connor guy that showed up out of the blue?!"
"Yeah..." Keira said.
"ARGH! I HIRED HIM TO WATER MY PLANTS AND HE KILLED THEM ALL!" Samos yelled.
"Daddy it's okay – Connor is helping Jak." Keira reassured him.
"Oh. That's good then." Samos said. "So are you ready to go?"
"Yeah. Let's go to the forest." Keira sighed.

"RAZER! IS THIS SUIT G.T. BLITZ'S?" Jak demanded to know, storming out of his bedroom.
"Erm... well, if I say yes..." Razer stammered.
"I AM SO GOING TO KILL YOU!" Jak yelled, when Torn grabbed his arms and stopped him going Darkie and killing Razer there and then.
"Jak! You'll just have to find a suit now." Torn said. "I'll help you – we'll just go straight into town and back again."
"Okay. Razer, go to Haven Forest and tell Keira we're going to be late when she gets there." Jak said. Razer grabbed Erol by his collar.
"Come on handsome, you are coming with me." Razer purred.
"Why?" Erol asked.
"Because – I don't want to get bored waiting around." Razer winked and Erol sighed and followed Razer out of the door.
"That's just disturbing." Daxter said, shaking his head.
"Right. Let's go to town." Torn said, and dragged Jak out of the door and to the bus stop. Everyone else left behind looked at each other.
"What do we do now?" Daxter asked.
"We go and sort out the limo." Sig replied. "We're probably gonna have to pay them extra for waiting for Jak and Torn."
"Anyone got any change?" Daxter asked.
"Nah." Jinx replied. "We could always threaten the driver with a car bomb."
"Jinx... we don't wanna get arrested!" Daxter exclaimed.
"It was the best suggestion we have." Jinx shrugged, and lit up a cigar.
Okay guys, keep reviewing! Not that many chapters until the actual wedding now!
