Chapter Fifteen: My Wishes
"People of Haven City! I give to you...our heroes!"
"HEROINES!" It was the greatest day of my life. I had just saved the world with the help of my closest friends. Life couldn't be better. "For your bravery and courage," said the leader of the Precursors. "We will grant each of you one wish, that is Jordan, Tiffany, Jak, and Michael!" Hmmm, now what will I wish-
"I WISH BLAKE WERE HERE!" screamed Tiffany. The leader held up his staff. "As you wish!" A huge light appeared in the sky, much like the one that Tiffany fell through. The bright light released another beam of light and crashed at Tiffany's feet. "Ughhh," mumbled Blake. He stood and looked around. "Blake!"
"Tiffany! Where are we?"
"Um...I'll explain later. Just celebrate with us!" Confused, Blake shrugged his shoulders and stood next to Tiffany under Mar's Memorial. I wish this crowd would go away. Crowds make me nervous... "Jak! Make your wish!" Boy, you'd better not wish for Ashlynn, cause I'll un-wish it! "I wish..." He closed his eyes and thought his wish. Please don't wish for Ashlynn. Please don't wish for Ashlynn! "As you wish!" Suddenly, a strange crumbling noise erupted from behind us. The palace was being rebuilt all by itself! Ever since the Metal Head attack, everybody's been too busy to even get started on it. "I put a few extra rooms in it for you guys," said Jak.
"Please tell me I have my own room!" I blurted. Everyone, even the crowd, began to laugh. "What?" Now it was Michael's turn. "Be warned, young Michael. You will not be able to survive!"
"What do you mean?"
"If you stay here too long, you will die! Any outsiders, except for the ones in Mar's Prophecy of Eternal Peace, will eventually die!" Michael hung his head and whispered his wish: "I wish I could go home..." Fantastic swirls of blue and purple danced in front of him until forming a circular gate. "Michael?" He turned to me and smiled. "I'm gonna' miss ya', Jordan."
"I'm gonna' miss you too, Michael..."
"I'm gonna' be sick, Jordan and Michael," Daxter yelled. I stuck my tongue out at him. Mike turned on his heel and headed for the gate. "Bye..." That was the last time that I ever saw him again. Whatever you do, don't cry. Not in front of all these people... "Jordan?" Keira put a comforting hand on my shoulder. "It's okay. Hurry, make your wish!" Oh yeah, it's my turn! I was so excited. Jak was nowhere near Ashlynn! But Michael... No! Don't think about him. You'll start crying! Yes! That's it. Just. Calm. Down. Now- Oh, yes, yes, YES! He doesn't like Ashlynn! Get yourself together before-
"I WISH JAK AND KEIRA WOULD GET MARRIED AND HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN SO THAT THEY CAN FINALLY BE TOGETHER LIKE GOD INTENDED!"
"What the hell?" Oops... "Uhhhh, Jak? Keira. I can explain!"
"As you wish!"
"NO, WAIT!" Too late. Jak and Keira instantly stood by each other's side as if the world would end if they didn't. It was romantic, but I was still busted. "Jordan! Is that the only reason you came here?" called Samos.
"No! You've got to be cra- yes." Jak stood with his arms crossed with Keira close by. "So that's what you wanted to talk about!"
"No, I-"
"And that's why you told me that Jak and Ashlynn's kiss didn't matter!"
"Just let me expla-"
"Now you're gonna' get it!"
"Have mercy!" Jak had already begun to chase me. Please don't kill me. Please dont' kill me! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!
Now you're in for it!
Shut up, Samos!
"See ya' Jordi Elizabeth Hamburger!" Now I'm pissed. I made a big u-turn around the memorial and towards Tiffany. "You have got to be kidding me!" she yelled. Then I remembered: I wasn't Dark Jordan. Man, she is sooooo gonna' kick my ass... Forgetting what was going on, I stopped, which gave Jak the chance to catch me. He put me into an arm lock and whispered in my ear. "I just wanted to say-"
"Look, if you're gonna' kill me, do it now..."
"No! I wanted to say 'thank you'."
"Huh?"
"If you didn't make that wish, I would've never gotten together with Keira." I smiled. Maybe life in Haven wouldn't be so bad after all...
"Now there's only one thing left to do..."
"What's that?"
"Make you one of us!" The leader of the Precursors waved his staff at Tiffany and I. When I opened by eyes, I felt of my ears. I'm and elf! "AIEEEE!" Something tells me that this may take a little time for Tiffany to get used to...
Three years later...
Jordan, Tiffany, and Jak were able to keep the city safe for three years. Now that the Prophecy was complete, Haven could live in peace.
Just as Jordan had wished, Jak and Keira were married. They are now expecting a child...
Haven City Hospital...
"I sure do hope it's a not a boy," said Jordan. "I'm tired of 'em."
"Oh, come on, Jordan. You should at least be happy that you're wish came true!" Tiffany sat next to her in the waiting room with Torn, Ashlynn, their baby boy Nicky, Tess, Daxter, and their baby boy Bram, and Samos. "I wonder how Keira's doing," worried Samos.
"Shut up. Let's not get worried! It's not like something'll go wrong!" Everyone froze at Daxter's words. Jordan picked up his tiny son. He was just small enough to fit in the palm of her hand. She'd come to like baby boys now that she was sixteen. Her seventeen year old friend Tiffany was growing and maturing just as fast as she was.
"Ahem!" All heads turned toward the doctor standing in front of the delivery room door. "I am happy to say that Jak and Keira now have a beautiful..." He built up the suspense by stopping in the middle of his sentence. "...Baby boy!"
"Noooooo! Check again!" Tiffany slapped Jordan in the back of the head. Jordan smiled and asked if they could see him. The doctor nodded and let them into the nursery. "Awwwww, he's so cute!" Everybody crowded around the window to get a better look. The babe wiggled around and peeked out of the blanket. His eye's were as blue as Jak's. A blonde strand of hair was visible under his cap. "Yup, I can sense it. He's gonna' be just like him. I can't wait 'til they bring him home..."
The End...
I'm currently working on the sequel, so hang tight!
