A/N: Ok, here we go again..more of my reposted story.
Chapter two – A Blast from the Past
The gang walked down the street, heading towards the palace. It had grown quite late and the sun was going to set soon, leaving them alone in the city at night. They were all chatting lightly about the fun day they had had, but Kel did not participate in the conversation; she felt too dizzy.
Seriously, her head buzzed slightly, and it was somewhat hard to think. I mean, she wasn't falling over flat on her face, but her coordination skills weren't exactly, um, functioning as well as usual.
Neal, ever keeping weary vigilance over her, frowned as he saw Kel's, er, altered state. "Kel, I told you should've taken it easy," he grumbled at her.
"I'm fine Neal. Honestly, it was just two or three shots." She mumbled at him. Sometimes his ever-present concern for her got really, really annoying.
"Actually it was seven, I think." Owen, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, piped up.
Kel rolled her eyes, "sheesh, y'guys are waaay too overprotective. I'm --hiccup-- not exactly an innocent little goody-twoshoes who-" but she was stopped short as someone bumped into her and knocked her over backwards.
"Oh, sorry," he apologized, reaching down to give her a hand up.
"It's alright," she mumbled, rubbing her forehead where he had smacked into her. "It's not a big de-" she stopped mid-sentence, as her jaw dropped and her eyes widened in recognition--standing right in front of her was Jasson
Somply put, the boy was tall, dark and handsome. He towered about four inches taller then Kel, with his dark brown, almost black, spiked hair tingied with highlights. His big round, mischievous eyes were set a coconut-colored tanned face that wore a similar expression of shock.
"Kel!" He exclaimed broadly, pulling her to her feet.
"Ja-Jasson!" She gasped out, "What in Mirthro's name are you doing here!"
He laughed and answered, "Well, we're docked here for a bit so I thought I'd come to Corus and see what mischief you were up to."
"Oh." She said dumbly, still slightly dazed about seeing him here. (Plus alcohol has a way of slowing down your brain, to like, 3 mph.)
"What, that's all you can say? Haven't seen you for years, and that's all I get. I'm insulted." He teased, crossing his arms.
She almost smiled at his mirthful face but turned it into a frown and crossed her arms as well, "Well I don't suppose you remember the last time we were together, it wasn't exactly what you'd call a picnicin the sunshine..."
he sighed, "Kel, you don't hold a grudge against me for that still."
She glared at him.
"Er, guess so. But you know we both said some things we didn't mean…" he trailed off, looking at her intently.
Her glare softened as she nodded, then laughed as he gave her puppy-dog eyes and starting whimpering like a dog.
The rest of the gang had been standing around watching their conversation with confused expressions on their faces. Who was this guy?
"Guys, you go on ahead, I'll meetcha later."
They looked hesitant, so as if to prove that they could safely leave their Kel with him, Jasson reached out and hugged Kel, just to show them that they were friends. However, this seemed to have the opposite effect on them, especially since Kel hugged him back, and they muttered to each other, "I think she's drunk."
"Yup, definitely sloshed"
"Completely smashed."
Kel glared at them.
"Come on," Jasson grinned at her, "We have a lot of catching up to do!"
"No kiddin'."
He grabbed her hand and the two disappeared into the crowd, leaving a small huddle of very baffled boys, one concerned Neal, and one very jealous Cleon.
