A/N: Here it is. Be thankful it came so soon. I believe I *might* have left a cliffhanger....






"Jake!" called Cassie's voice.

Jake looked up from what he was doing, and looked at Cassie, who looked somewhat different. He hadn't saw her since the wedding, which Marco had to drag him to. But the thing that got to him was that- she didn't look remotely pregnant like she should by now. In fact, she didn't have a wedding ring on either....

Jake realized that Cassie was holding his hand.

"This is it, Jake," she whispered to him.

"What is it?," he questioned, confused.

"To change the past, to make it better," she whispered back.

"The Ellimist is willing to change it all, Jake" she finished.

Jake looked in shock at Cassie. "Change what?"

Sure he wasn't sure if he still wanted to have anything to do with Ellimist, but he figured he should hear Cassie talk first. He looked around. Where was he?

"To change the fact, the yeerks never did come," she answered.

Millions of thoughts came racing through his mind. If the yeerks never did come to this planet..that means...

Rachel and Tom would still be alive.
Marco wouldn't never lost his mother to begin with.
Cassie would still be..with him...
No Michael Brooks.

Cassie...with...him...
His Cassie.

"Well? are you ready?" asked Cassie, looking deep into his brown eyes.

"How?" he managed to say.

Cassie blinked.

"The Ellimist, he heard your cry to change it, and now-" she started to explain.

Jake wanted to say yes.
Of course!

But the Ellimist always had something up his sleeve.
Jake wasn't to sure if he should say yes.
And everytime he did, things always went back to the way they were before, because the Ellimist wanted to always teach him some sort of lesson.

Like never change the way things should be, he thought bitterly.

He looked at Cassie's sparkling eyes. This wasn't the Cassie he knew. She wasn't suppose to be here.

She was suppose to be married and pregnant with some other man.
But she wasn't...not any anyways..

Even if in the end things went back to before-
At least he had the chance to have Cassie.
To be with her, even it was never meant to last.

Jake gulped.

"But..wait..what about Tobias? he would never be with Rachel..." he suddenly remembered.

Cassie frowned. "Jake! please say yes...I need you Jake...don't worry about Tobias...all he ever will be is a loner, Rachel should have not never met him...besides..he's a loser, Rachel deserves better.."

Jake let go of her hand. This was for sure not right. Cassie would never say this. Never about Tobias. Not in a million years.

The Crayak, he thought.
Of course, they still want to screw me over.
Just as he had said the words...
Cassie had disappeared to be replaced with-
The Drode.

"You!" he said, with much hate in his voice.

"Me? ah..Jake...all you had to do was say..yes..but..no...you wanted Tobias to be with Rachel.." the Drode said in amusement.

Jake was mad, how dare he pretend to be Cassie?
He wasn't worthy enough to even try.

"Why are you doing this? the war is over!" he yelled at the creature standing before him.

"Really? oh..I didn't know....but must you always ruin my plans? why must you think before you say yes?"

"What is the point of this?" demanded Jake, he was sick of it already.

"Jake..how could you be so cruel? Ellimist and I are doing this for you, we know how much your..life..well...sucks and all we wanted to do was-" the Drode kept on talking.

Jake wanted to morph something.
He wanted to morph something deadly and kill that ugly looking creature that still had the guts to come here.

Jake rubbed his temple and shook his head.

"I thought I got rid of you," he spat.

"Jake..you can never get rid of me.."the Drode said, with a happy tone.

"Please tell me..what tricks you have on your mind right now..tell me what your little mind is thinking of...I really want to see how a moron's brain works," said Jake.

The Drode laughed.

Jake began to understand why Rachel hated him so much.

"Fine don't say yes..leave with the fact that you murdered your brother and cousin, leave with the fact that everyday it's all your fault...all your fault..." said the Drode, trying to get him even more mad.

"Just shut up! you don't know!" yelled Jake, and turned around from the creature.

"I want to go back, take me home, I don't want to see you ever again," snarled Jake at the Drode.

"Why must you always be the party pooper? am only doing this for you, trying to be nice, fine be that way" the Drode said with a fake sniff.

Jake laughed. "You never did anything nice for me, only made my life even more hell than it needed to be, go crawl up in the hole you came from."

"Hurtful words..hurtful..words.."the Drode murmured.

"Just get the hell out of my life," muttered Jake.

"Oh...you shall be sorry..my master will punish you.." the Drode warned.

"I'm so scared," laughed Jake.

"Don't say I didn't warn you..." said the Drode, and with that disappeared.
