I'm back! Sorry for not posting sooner, but I've been really busy with finals and all that good stuff……so here's the next chapter! This one is for all my loyal readers.

"Hello Onin. Have you been well?" Lena kindly asked, bending down to look the soothsayer in her sightless eyes.

"Onin is fine, but I arrk am quite hungry, seeing as this batty old lady hasn't seen fit to arrrk give me a lunch break," Pecker grumbled, flying down to meet the trio at eye level.

"Can you talk about something else? Yeesh and I thought ol' green stuff was crazy…" Daxter muttered. While the two animals bickered, Lena's eyes scanned the room. She had always loved the look and smell of Onin's tent. It was small, yet comfortable, filled with the scents of many different herbs. They were probably the same herbs that Onin used to tell the events of the past and the future. Lena's eyes started to glaze over with the thought of faraway lands……only to be yanked back to reality as a hand brushed against hers. She looked down to see Jak's hand brush up against hers as he moved farther into the hut. Looking up, she met his eyes, a blush rising in her cheeks. Grabbing her hand away, she turned around and moved as far away from him as she could get without leaving the tent. Feeling embarrassed, she couldn't look into his face, mentally kicking herself for her stupid behavior. It was an accident, he didn't mean to touch your hand…stupid stupid stupid, he probably is wondering what your problem is.

Jak, unaware of what she was thinking (obviously) shrugged it off, moving towards Onin.

"Ok, we don't really have a lot of time, so if you could just give us the message so we can move on….." Jak faltered, eyes widening as Onin's hands moved faster then he had ever seen before. Lights filled the tent, and Lena looked around nervously, hoping that nobody would see, and decide to send the KG over to investigate. Pecker, startled at not translating right away, gave up his fight with Daxter and flew back to his perch.

"Onin says she is surprised to see you two together, but now arrrk, everything makes sense….wait, what makes sense? Maybe to you, but are you arrk, gonna let me in on this?"

"How about letting us in on it? Forget about old bird brain here, I know how to keep a secret!" Daxter said, inching over to Onin, before being swatted aside by Jak.

"What do you mean? Everything makes sense?" Lena said squatting down so that she was right in front of the old woman. Onin just made a toothless grin, and started gesturing again.

"Harrumph, ok, since she arrk, won't tell us what she means….whoa, hold on woman!" Pecker got back into his advisor mode. 'Onin says that you two need to go to the Precursor Temple….all will be revealed there,"

"And what am I suppose to do? Just wait for you two lovebirds to get back?" Daxter whined.

"Daxter!" Lena and Jak exclaimed in unison, both starting to turn red in the face. As Lena started to move forward toward him in a move slightly reminiscent of Torn, Daxter jumped onto Jak's shoulder, crawling into his hair.

"Hee-YA! That's right, can't touch this!" Daxter struck a pose, supposedly making him look like an ninja, but instead making him look more like a lurker without wings trying to fly.

Laughing, Jak finally managed to get some words in, "Ok Dax, how about you go visit Tess while me and Lena do the mission? We'll meet back later, I promise,"

"Well….ok Jak, but only 'cause you're my best bud and everything…but I don't want you guys to come back and hear about how you took advantage of Lena here…."

"DAXTER!" now it was Jak's turn to cuff Daxter on the head. Chuckling slightly now, Lena turned and looked Daxter straight in the face. For a second, he thought she was going to hit him or something, but instead she asked him a question.

"Do you need a ride to Tess?"

"N-no, I'm fine, I was able to get around this city without rides for two years you know," Daxter said, much relieved that she wasn't going to hit him. Jumping off Jak's shoulder, he started to walk away, looking over his shoulder occasionally. Once he was assured that they were indeed watching him, he jumped up and climbed up a pole and scampered across the roofs, making his way in the general direction of Tess. Putting her hand up to her mouth to stifle a giggle, Lena composed herself and looked at Jak.

"Well, should we start moving?"

"I guess so….wait, let's head over to the stadium, we can get you a hover board, it will make traveling easier. My uhhhh friend works there," Jak said with a grin.

"That's great…..just one problem with your reasoning though," Lena said, apparently embarrassed, as she was staring down at her feet.

"It's no problem, I'm sure she has another one lying around somewhere,"

"No, that's not the problem….I don't know how to board…..I was always too afraid of falling off," She glanced up, grinning apologetically.

"Oh, is that it? Jeez, here I was thinking it was something important….no worries, I'll teach you," Jak grabbed her hand, hauling her up onto the zoomer. "Hold on, I'm gonna try to get there without setting off any KG alerts!" he yelled as the motor revved to life.

Holy precursors don't let me die like this…. Lena thought as Jak sped up and almost hit a wall, making his way toward the stadium…sort of.

Sorry it's kind of short….I'm having issues with writers block. I know just how the scene between Keira and Lena will go though…heehee. Oh, and has anybody ever tried to make it to a mission without hitting a KG? It's frickin hard!
