Black Magician Girl: No way am I gonna do your disclaimer. *Pulls Black Magician up* Here, he can do it.

Okay, fine, fine... ^_^

BM: *Grumble* That girl is a yaoi-loving crazy thirteen year old. Do you really think she owns Jak and Daxter? Or Yuu-Gi-Ou, for that matter? Do you WANT her to? If she did, we would have things like me and Yami no Yuugi snogging in his soul room... And she'd steal Yuki from PMS... And she'd find some way to pair Jak and Daxter together... And Keira would disappear for most of the game for some reason to make way for the boys...

*Drooling at fic ideas*

BM: See?

Well, actually, I would have you and DMG-chan snogging, and Yami no Yuugi snogging Yuugi or Anzu, and JxD is just SCARY, but otherwise, that's about right. ^_^ I enjoy being me, don't you?

Relations

@-,--'--,-----

On the boy's side of the court;

"THAT was Gaia? Not what I was expecting." Daxter peers over his shoulder, using Jak's ear to balance. "Weird guy. Did you see his office? All that precursor junk. He was pre~etty strange."

Jak sighs heavily and rolls his eyes. 'What did I do to deserve YOU, Dax?' He pulls Daxter's claws out of his ear.

Yamikai shrugs at- FAYE! FAYE FAYE FAYE! HER NAME IS FAAAAYEEE!

Characters: *Pause, then proceed to ignore the crazy thirteen-year-old in the corner hitting her head on the wall*

Faye shrugs at them. "He is a bit odd, but it's mostly that he's constantly obsessing over something-or-other, and-"

A short- very short- figure darts around the corner right in front of them, dodges around Faye and Kira, and slams into Jak, doropping something with a clatter.

Faye blinks at the young girl.

"Simi? What are you doing?"

Simi turns her pale, thin face to Faye, shrugs absently, picks up the bottle she dropped, and runs off, wine red ponytails fluttering behind her.

"YOU BRAT!!" Another person runs around the corner, breathing heavily, her blond topknot in disarray. She catches sight of Faye with grey eyes that seem to shoot sparks, for all their cool color.

"Faye! Do you know what your sister has DONE?! She just stole a batch of my Aqua Eco! And yesterday, it was the Purple Eco! I need everything, and SHE keeps on taking it, locking it in your rooms, and climbing out the windows!" She grinds to a halt in her tirade, looking uncertainly at the people behind Faye. "Is... Is that JAK?"

Faye nods, opening her mouth, but the look in the woman's eyes shifts from anger to shock to absolute wonderment, and she rushes up to Jak before Faye can speak, shaking his hand vigorously with both of hers. "You're THE Jak? The only person to ever channel White Eco Jak? I can't believe it! I never thought Faye could pull it off, but here I am, talking to Jak, one of the greatest Channelers in the known world! And powerful enough to get rid of my half-sister and her half-brother when they corrupted themselves with Dark Eco- Cittam told me all about it, how you defeated their giant robot against all odds, and-"

Jak shoots Kira a "Help me!" look as the woman continues to babble, still shaking his hand. The woman gushes about how she's heard everything about his various achievements, from defeating Klaww to making it through the Lava Tube alive, "With defective and primitive technology, no less!"

Kira positively seethes at the last comment.

"Hey, I don't know WHO you are-" The green-haired elf pushes between the woman and Jak, crossing her arms over her chest, "But that 'defective and primitive technology' is MINE, and-"

"Oh, YOURS, is it?" The woman looks down her snub nose at the taller teenage girl in front of her. "Well, that would explain it."

Jak did not like this woman one bit.

Daxter, free to laugh at Kira now that she was officially Jak's girlfriend, would like this woman a lot if she had seemed to notice him at all.

"Although..." The woman pushes around Kira, who lets out a angry "hey!" at the dislocation, "I never did introduce myself. I am Molindriana Setnovantigo, but you can call me Mol."

Jak lets out a very uneasy smile, a mix of 'er, hullo,' and 'Get me the hell away from this maniac!'.

Mol blinks at the lack of verbal reply.

"Oh, in case you didn't notice, lady," layers of sarcasm cover the last word like gaudy paint, "My buddy Jak is rather mute."

Blinking again, Mol looks at the ottsel perched on Jak's shoulder. "Oh! The talking rat! Cittam mentioned you, too.

Daxter gapes at the woman, then snaps angrily, "Hey, I'm a OTTSEL! But even rats would look better than YOU, ugly excuse for the supposedly fairer sex!"

"Why you..." The angry fire returns to her eyes, and Mol's sturdy hands curve into claws. "When I get my hands on you, RAT, I'll... I'll..."

With a small squeak at the look on Mol's face, Daxter scrambles to get as much of Jak between him and the woman as possible.

Faye shakes her head, commenting to no one with a large amount of irony coloring her voice, "I think I see the start of a beautiful relationship between those two."

@-,--'--,-----

Poor, poor Jak. *Evil chuckle* I can't wait until next chapter, with more of the beautiful relationship and Faye's sister Simi. And I can't believe how much information I fit into this chapter... *Wide eyes at everything Mol said* If you actually READ it all, there's quite a bit of important stuff fitted into the rambling.

Also, would anyone reading this like to suggest names for the various Sandover and Rock Village inhabitants? And anyone else who doesn't have suggestions can review anyway...*Hint hint*

Ja ne!

PS: Feel free to ask as many questions as you like about anything that won't ruin the plot! I love answering that junk. ^_^
