Chapter 31

"That was nuts," I commented when we'd all got the chance to relax. "I never thought that Vegar of all people would be behind this whole thing…"

"Well, now that we're all here, we can relax a little," Aunt Ashelin added. Heh, good idea… I could definitely use it. "It looks alike a few of us could use the rest." She was obviously referring to everyone that fought. So… that narrows the list down to me, dad, Uncle Torn…

"And I can start figuring out a way to kill Vegar. The bastard…" I muttered, "I outta go back there and shoot his ass to pieces…" Dawn sighed.

"It's always the same with you, Jakie. Shoot first, ask questions later," she teased. I smirked.

"And that's the reason the two of us are still breathing and not festering in the stomach of some metal head. Yeesh, bad images," I replied.

"Jakie, you turned out to be exactly like Jak, didn't you?" Uncle Torn asked.

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't…" So I was getting a bit cocky. So what? Well, some things never change, I guess.

I basically spent the rest of the day filling everyone in on what had happened while they'd all been locked up, and taking care of everyone's wounds. I admit, even though I'd just seen everyone before I came back here through the warp gate, I was glad to see them again. Dad and I walked around Spargus several times, just talking about how much things have changed and how much I'd grown, and things like that. Adults are funny sometimes. I can tell you one thing, I plan on spending a lot of my time kicking back because I'm all but in the mood to be running around like a fool. Besides, my muscles are killing me.

After a nice long day of work, Dawn and I finally got to relax… finally… I was just in my room lounging on my bed, just… existing and being a useless waste of space. I sighed deeply and turned on my side.

"Hey Jakie…" Dawn started suddenly.

"Yeah," I mumbled.

"What are we going to do about Vegar? He could try to kill us all again…" I yawned lightly.

"He does and he'll find himself facing my wrath," I replied. Dawn climbed up onto the bed and then stood on my hip.

"But what if he's too powerful be then? Yknow? Then what do we do?" Dawn, you're such a worrywart…

"We find his weakness and kick his ass after," I answered.

"Why are you always so mellow about these things, Jakie?" I rolled over onto my back and knocked her down.

"Because I have too much of dad in me." Dawn quickly climbed up onto my stomach.

"You're definitely unique, Jakie." I chuckled lightly and yawned again.

"Not really. If I'm a lot like my dad, then I'm not one of a kind, am I?"

"I didn't say you were one of a kind. I said you were unique." I just snorted.

"Whatever you say, buddy."

"Yeah, whatever I say." I flipped over again, causing her to fall over for the second time.

"Let's just not worry about Vegar right now. When the time comes, we'll deal with him, but right now, our main concern is the family. So stop worrying, ok?"

"I hope you're right about this, Jakie…" I smiled.

"Relax. I have it all under my thumb. Vegar won't get away from me, and he won't kill me, either. I'm smarter then that."

"Alright, I'll trust you, Jakie. But just because you're my best friend and I have faith in you." Awwww.

"Thanks, Dawn."

Kiri: Awww! their best friends forever! awww! LOL. anyways, I'm REALLY sorry about taking a freaking... month... to update this... really... don't eat me... please...
