A/N: I really can't help making my chapters so short! I like to give lots of details but it doesn't really take much for me to do it so I thinks thats part of why they're so short.

Without Jak

Chapter 3: Teleporting

Daxter sat in thought. He was thinking about building another machine. "If I build a time machine, I'll return in my ottsel form." He thought. "I suppose a teleporter might work."

He went around looking for equipment for his teleporter. He needed ancient Precursor metal, blue eco, and tools. He knew he could get tools at his house and could go to the Forbidden Jungle to dig up some metal but he didn't know how to safely harness blue eco. He went across the water to his island and went to his toolshed. He got a shovel, screwdriver, and power-drill. He needed a way to carry his things up the cliff so he could climb. He searched for a backpack, pulley, anything that would work. He couldn't find anything.

"Maybe I should give up." Daxter said to himself.

"Maybe I was better off before."

"Yeah, and maybe Keira's ass is green too." He thought sarcasticly.

This cheered him up but not much.

He walked around kicking sand into the air and he hadn't realized he has crying until some sand hit him in the eye.

He was going to go for a swim when he suddenly remembered Samos's ski lift in his back yard.

Daxter ran as fast as he could and when he finally got the ski lift operational he was able to send his equipment up the cliff. He climbed up the cliff, only stopping to take a deep breath. Once he was on top, he began to dig up the Precursor metal. He also found a jar that was obviously made by ancient Precursors and used it to harness the blue eco.

Once the teleporter was put together, Daxter took a break to admire his work. He sat down on the grass to eat lunch. He went down to the fisherman at the creek and borrowed his net and caught some fish. This had taken many tries because he would always catch a poisonous fish and ruin his entire catch!

Once he had built a fire, caught fish, and cooked his catch, Daxter was ready to eat. Daxter always ate like a pig so it wasn't exactly the neatest lunch ever seen! After eating, he felt rested and ready to continue on his journey.

He approached the teleporter, crouched down, and lept through.

1 day later...

"Whoa. Did it work?" Daxter thought.

He looked around and found himself lying in Samos's hut. He looked at his watch to see what day it was. It was Tuesday. The same day Jak had convinced Daxter to go over to Misty Island. He looked around and saw Jak. He was calling for Daxter. Imediately Daxter ran out to Jak and said, "Jak! Hey man you have to believe me I just came from the future and teleported here to warn you about the vat of dark eco."

"What dark eco?" Jak asked.

"Jak! You can hear me!"

"Of course I can. You are screaming in my ear!"

"Anyway there's dark eco on Misty Island and if we go over there I'm going to fall into it and be turned into an ottsel!"

To Daxter's surprise Jak didn't laugh in his face. After a moment of silence, Jak finally said, "Daxter I know you went back in time. I was laughing at your plan. Remember? I'm just surprised your plan actually worked!"

"So we can go forward in time now?" Daxter asked.

"Not a good idea Dax." Jak said.

"But only because we'll go forward, you'll be an ottsel again, you'll rebuild the time machine and the whole story will repeat itself."

"Samos built me this device here in case I did manage to find you." Jak held out a thing that looked like remote controller for a television.

"What's it do?" Daxter asked.

"It speeds up time. Like a fast forward button for life."

Jak pushed the button and they both returned home safe and sound.
