Note - This one's written a little differently than my first one. And I think you'll figure out how it's different as you read. I want to try to make each one stand out (hopefully in a good way) thanks for reading.

- Jacks P.O.V

Note - This takes place after the shipping lanes, after they part from Imam. Now on a planet that's full of scumbags, Jack is feeling as if Riddick thinks that having her along was indeed mistake.

Bacon 'n Eggs 'n Love -

Jack sat in the bar. She was sitting in the back alone for the time being at least. The people in this convict - polluted place knew who she traveled with, and knew to keep away. She surveyed the area nobody new today. "I miss Imam ..." A somber look beyond her years crossed her face. They had left him on a transport. As she and Riddick had left on their own. To find a place away from 'prying' eyes. Everything up untill this moment, this one right now, didn't feel real ...

I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back

She got up to leave, she had to meet Riddick back at 'home' before it got too late. If he knew that this is where she was, he would be furious. And she'd seen him mad, not at her, but the fear of it made her uncomfortable. "Why do I keep doing things that'll make him wanna kill me if he finds out?" she asked herself as she pushed the chair up against the table and put on her coat. "Because Jack, you wanna live on the wild side of life." She sighed at her own stupidity. She was just about to leave the money that was in her jacket when a shadow fell over her. "Oh ... god ... no..." She looked up and saw a man with a knife. Her body visibly relaxed as a pent up breath escaped from her mouth. "Thank you." she said quietly as she put down the money and stated to walk around him and froze. There by the bar, was Riddick, his look of interest turning into one of furry. She couldn't even move as he came over to her, his arm went around around her back and moved her. It felt more of a force of nature than of a human appendage.

The usually long walk home, was very, very short.

"What where you doing there!" he asked as he practically threw her into their "home". "Why do you keep disobaying me! Do you want to get killed!" when she didn't answer right away he turned to her. "Well!" "I -I-I ... " her mind swam...


It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you

"You ..." his voice was calmer. Anger at herself rose, she shouldn't have been there, she was being an idiot. "But where is there to go around here?" she asked herself. "There isn't any place, only bars, only stripjoints, only dark allyways where I'd get rapped and or killed." she hadn't realized that she had spoken the words, words that where dripping with venom and resentment.


You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes

Jack could see Riddick start to come over to her. The anger rising, she wanted to lash out, her hands where clenched and her face contorted with anger. "WHY! Why did we have to come here! There was no other place in the entire Vers where we could go!" she was in too far to stop now. "You wanna know why I think we had to come here! Because your afraid, afraid of me being able to be independant, as long as where here I can't do anything on my own, unless I wanna be killed!" Anger overrided her common sence and made her lunge at him.


I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
So even though you're close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back

They sat, Riddick in a chair, Jack sitting on the floor. Now that she thought abou it, she hadn't expected anything good to come out of figthing. The only thing that came out of it was her having to be hit, and him having to hit her. She looked at him, ignoring the now dulling pain in her chest. "Riddick." she offered quietly. He looked up, his brow furrowed with unease. But easing when he saw the smile on her face.


It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you

She watched him as he looked at her. She knew that this was a moment that he he had to tackel with. She knew that he felt bad about hitting her, when he could have easily grabbed her up and stopped her. But Jack didn't feel angery, only slight discomfort as she stood. She knew that she needed a little something knocked into her. She walked over and looked at him. When he sat back to look at her fully she sat on his lap and put her arms around his neck.

He was warm, and his earthy smell invaded her sences. She hugged him tightly as his arms came up around her, returning the gesture.


You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes

There was no need for words, no sorrys, or anything of the like to be exchanged between them. Only silence, as they sat together in the slowly brightening room as the sun lazily rose.


No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No, no matter how far we've come I
I can't wait to see tomorrow

Jack looked at him, and he turned to look at her. She kissed him gently on the mouth for just a moment and went back to snuggeling against his shoulder.

"So what's breakfast?" she hears him ask. "I want bacon and eggs, and sausage."

"If you make it I'm fine with that." Jack said. "My chest hurts for some unknown reason and I don't think I can make it today."

She watched him smile as he stood, holding her then he sat her on the chair and started to walk away. "Fine I'll make it kid."

"Make mine an omlette, and don't burn the bacon, aaaand ... I want my sausage well done." Jack teased, as she heard him grabbing the pan.

"You'll eat whatever I make you." a pause. "Is that with cheese?"

"Yes." she sat back in the chair. "Riddick ...?"

"What?" sounding ever so slightly annoyed

"I love you." she smiled at his responce.


With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
