I wahnt to send some soutouts to my friends and people who reviewed, first to one of my best freinds Lady Tsuru for beliving in me, second to Quill-514 for giving me tips for my story and for reviewing, Third to Sabulna for the nice review. well with out ferter adu heres chapter 5!

Tess and Keira were standing in the doorway, the girl, Tena looked at them curiously, "who are they?" she asked, she looked at Jak for the answer. It seemed that she has not seen very many people in her life. "there names are Tess and Keira" Jak said, then Jak turned to Tess and Keira and started to explain Tena's history to them.

When Jak had finished Tess said "well that settles it!" she clapped her hands together, "you need a hair cut," Keira joined in "and new cloths!" then they started talking about what they could do with her hair and her nails.

Torn walked up, (not pissed anymore) wondering what all the squalling was about. "what are you doing?" he asked the girls, they were playing with Tena's hair. Jak now had to fill Torn in about what was going on.

"Hey! can we take her to my house" Tess asked Torn, "please oh please we'll get her fixed up and ready for action!" Daxter jumped up on the top dunk (Jak's bunk) and looked at Tess and said "I'm ready for action." Torn cut in before Tess had a chance to reply. He was still a bit mad about earlier that morning so he said "fine you can take the girl," then he hesitated for a minute and said "but don't do anything stupid," Torn said that with a smile as he tuned toward the table, in the middle of the room.

Tess and Keira got Tena out of her bed and led her to the door. "Jak, could you give us a ride to Tess' house? Please," Keira said in the doorway. Jak smiled and got up from the bed, and walked to the door.

Jak walked outside and towards a parked zoomer, he hopped into the drivers seat and started the engine. He looked behind him at were the girls were sitting they were still playing with her hair and making comments about her clothes. Jak put the zoomer in the air and set off, he kept smiling at her curiosity.

They were about five minutes from the water slums, Tess' house was in the back of the water slums. Tena seemed fascinated by what she was seeing, she looked over the edge of the zoomer and watched the people go by underneath them, looking in amassment. Tess and Keira watched, smiling. Tena made her way over and looked at the controls, "aren't they hard to use?" she asked Jak. "some times" Jak said looking over his solder at her.

As they approached Tess' house Jak got a funny feeling, he landed the zoomer and helped the girls out of it, but the felling lingered. They all walked into Tess' house, almost immediately they started pushing Tena into the bathroom. Tess looked at Jak and said "Jak could you stay here, we might need you to run some errands," she said with a smile, "sure" Jak said.

Jak sat down on the couch ,Daxter followed him. "I just don't understand girls" Daxter said plopping down next to him. Jak gave Daxter a mocking smile, "you never will." Jak said, Keira was heading up stairs, she had left the door open so they could see what was going on. The bath tub was more like a circular pool, it was big enough to stand in and the water only reached your neck, and it was wide enough to lye in and spread out your arms and legs and still have room to move.

Tess was pulling shampoo's and conditioners off the shelves and letting Tena smell them so she could chose what she liked. Keira came back, her arms loaded down with clothes and towels, of all colors.

"Never, ever, ever will I understand girls!" Daxter said as Keira closed the door behind her. Jak smiled again, shook his head and rolled his eyes.

Tena was being bombarded with new scents and odd clothing, the large bath tub behind her was filling with bubbles and warm water. "Tena can we cut your hair?" Tess asked her, Tena had just picked out the shampoos and conditioners she liked, "I don't see why not" Tena said, "what do you have in mind?" She asked.

Tess turned her around so she faced the tub, "first we will get you cleaned up, then we'll worry about looks"

Tena removed her dress and lowered herself into the water, it was unusually warm for her taste, Tess handed her a wash cloth and soap "scrub!" she said, and she turned to Keira and they started to talk about the combinations they could do with the clothes Keira had brought down from Tess' bed room

Tena was washing up, swimming a bit in the very big bath tub, and thinking. she was trying to come up with and idea on how she could repay everyone that's helped her, but nothing came to mind.

"Ok," Tess said, she jerked Tena from her thoughts, "come here." Tena swam to the edge were Tess was. Tess had the bottles of shampoo in hand, and she pored them in her hair and started to scrub like crazy! She's going to pull out ALL my hair, Tena thought, her eyes were half closed in pain.

Tess stopped scrubbing and Keira came up with a pitcher of COLD water, and dumped it over Tena's head! "cold" Tena muttered, shivering. Then came the conditioner! like the shampoo before it, Tess scrubbed like there was no tomorrow, and then came the cold water again.

"Ok come on out, and dry off so we can chose out on outfit for you." Keira said, with a smile, holding up a pink shirt and a light blue skirt.

Tena got out, Tess handed her a bath robe, she walked to were Keira was standing with the cloths. They had all the outfit pairs laid out for her to see. she looked at all the outfits, mouth open a bit, they were mostly all hot pink! "lets try this one!" Keira said choosing a hot pink dress out. "err...." Tena said uncertainly.

about an hour later

Jak and Daxter were still in the living room, "Ok, ok, I got one" Daxter said "I spy with my ottesl eye something ...err... brown" he had his eyes scrunched up looking at the wall. "A board," Jak said in an annoyed tone, his arms were folded over his muscular chest. "Ok I got another one" Daxter said, Jak didn't even let him finish, "a board." "Wow your good!" Daxter said, just then the bathroom door opened, it had been about an hour that they were in there.

Tena was wearing a blue and green kimono stile T-shirt with a lightning bolt going down the back to separate the colors, a gold and silver yin-yang pin was holding it together, her skirt was red with yellow swirls on it, she had knee pads on as well as high heel boots, underneath her skirt you could see black bike shorts. Tess and Keira had cut her hair too, it went to about the middle of her back, she had in a pony tail her bangs were left free to hang, her gauntlets went to about her elbow, Jak could see there were blades in them. And not to mention her new earring, five on each ear one for each element, Jak assumed

Jak looked in amazement, Tena was wearing a proud smile as well, like it was an accessory. "so what do you think?" Tess asked with a 'we did good' smile on her face.
