Miss.Ecofreak: wow! Eigth reviews for two chapters, that's a lot more than what I got for Growing up where I had to wait a long time to get my second review! Thanks people!

Answer to Thee Slushee: thank you. But Jak does appear in Growing up, as a kid:) Anyway. Adult Jak appears in this chapter. As for their ages, you can see it on my authour profile, the age of each of my own characters are mentioned. Just remember, when I started GUIHC Jak2 was supposed to be in 215, it still starts there but it would me more accurate to say 216 seeing that it starts at the end of 215.

So to figure out the age of the characters in this story, see how old they are in Jak2 and add one year, can you do that even if you're not a math-fan? (I'm not a math-fan either) If not, see how old they are in Jak3 and that would solve your problem.

Zakura: How about the characters you didn't create?

Miss.Ecofreak: I have never heard a offical age for them, so I usually say that Jak and Daxter are around 21 in Jak2, therefore they are 21 in this as well. Ashelin is the same age as Kate, 21, while Erol is 22. I hope that answers your question, if not. Ask again and I'll explain what you didn't understand. Now for a new chapter.

CHAPTER 2

TROUBLE IN HAVEN

Still Daxter

Tanya kept glaring at me, I glared back.

"Do I look like a search party? Why don't you ask Torn?" I asked.

"I've never really liked Torn. Actually I never really liked you either. Is Jak around?" Tanya said.

Damn, why is it always Jak?

"No, but you can talk to his dog if you want to" I said.

"I'm not nuts. Do you know where he is?" Tanya asked.

"Probably with his girlfriend, just don't ask me where they are" I said, "He just dumped his mutt here and went"

"So much for a good friendship" Tanya said.

"Hey! Don't start! I don't see your friends around, where's that sharpshooter with the goggles?" I asked.

"None of your business" Tanya snapped back, "But where do you think Jak could be?"
"I don't know! Why don't you ask him?" I said and walked back in.

Tess was busy cleaning the counter when I came in, and judging by the scratching-sounds, Crocket was still in the kitchen.

"Something wrong sweety?" she asked, using one of her billion nicknames on me.

"Nothing angel, don't you worry about me" I said, using one of my million nicknames on her.

Jak

I was heading back to the Naughty Ottsel a couple of hours ago I really was.

But then my… er… zoomer broke down.

"I'm telling you Jak, there's nothing wrong with it" Keira said, "Actually it looks quite good considering who drives it."

"Either way, it's not working. Sure you've checked everything?" I asked.

Keira giggled, "You're the only one I know who's got a zoomer that is a hypochondriac" she laughed, "Or maybe you just made up an excuse to stay longer? Don't you think your dog misses you?"
"Nah, Daxter can look after him" I said, "He needs something that can help him get over his fear of dogs"

"I doubt Crocket is the right medication for that, I still can't forget the first time he tried to pet a dog" Keira said.

"Who can forget? The dog bit his arm and he ran straight up in a three" I said, "It was quite amusing to watch actually, if it hadn't been for the fact that he had to go to the nurse and get a rabies-vaccine afterwards. That was not funny at all"

"You only say that because you were forced to take it as well" Keira said, "You shouldn't hang around all those wild animals"

"I can't help it that Sandover Village was a boring place. In the forbidden jungle there was at least more to do than to wash your father's house" I answered, "I only lived in Haven City the first three-four years of my life but it still got me used to a more dramatic life."

"But Daxter never lived in Haven, so now I think you should take your perfectly fine zoomer and go back and take that crocadog of his hands" Keira commanded and pushed the zoomer into my hands (she could do that because the zoomer was quite small and didn't even touch the ground)

"Yes ma'am" I said and jumped on the zoomer, Keira can get very persuasive sometimes.

I drove out of the stadium perhaps a bit faster than I should have; the speed limits are too low if you ask me.

Fine, I crashed twice on my way out to the main street, but the zoomer wasn't damaged much (Zakura: sounds like someone you know? Miss.Ecofreak: where's the fun in driving slowly on a zoomer?)

As I drove by the canal I noticed there was a man waving at me.

"Hey there!" he shouted, "You in the dented zoomer (Miss.Ecofreak: (giggles) dented zoomer) could you help me out please?"
Was that guy talking to me? I looked around, the others around me obviously kept the speed limit and their zoomers didn't have a scratch so it had to be me.

I flew down to see what the guy wanted.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I'm sorry to bother you young man, but my zoomer is broken" the man said.

"And why do you ask me?" I asked.

"I've seen you in the city races and judging by the state of your zoomer you must know something about them. More than me at least, I suck at repairing things" the man said and giggled.

Fixing zoomers is usually something I leave to Keira but I did know how to fix small things.

"Fine, let me see then" I said.

The man led me into the blind gate where his zoomer apparently was placed to keep it out of the way for passers by.

There was only one problem.

There was no zoomer here.

I was about to ask where it was when I suddenly felt something to the back of my head and it all went black.

Miss.Ecofreak: I'm starting to like cliffhangers. Either that or my chapters just end up to long so I find the worst possible time to stop them.

Zakura: too long? How can they be too long? And I for once don't like cliffhangers! They make me nervous.

Miss.Ecofreak: what's your problem? you can just read the next chapter on the PC.

Zakura: and what's with all the nicknames?

Miss.Ecofreak: loved ones have many names. Like when my mon calls my dogMax, the dog, the black one (she sometimes speaks (bad) english when she wants me to put him out, even though we are norwegian), and she calls you Zakki

Zakura: at leastthat's better than what your brother calls me, Zakcake, (insert Miss.Ecofreak's real name here)'s (clapps) adorable little rabbit Zakura or hairdryer... Why hairdryer?

Miss.Ecofreak: he saysa lot of weird stuff. Anyway, review people.
