HNG: hello Jak fans! Next chapter is up, I'm forcing myself to write these so I don't feel un-inspired the next day…Heh… anyway, enjoy this chapter! As I said, I haven't played the game in a LOOOONG time. Sorry if anything is different, but its my story so XP

Torn looked at Cat wide-eyed, and touched his lower lip and cheek, there was indeed a 'smudge' there. Cat looked at him, and pretended to feel, smearing what was left on her lips across her face where they couldn't see.

She looked at her fingertips as a plan came into mind, something to cover up their short period of feelings. She frowned and shook her hand uncontrollably.

"Ew! What the hell is this!" She was a good actor. Torn realised what she was doing, and played along.

"Must've been from the lake…" he grumbled, wiping it onto his hand.

"You were in the lake?" Tess asked a little shocked.

"Yeah, the zoomer we were driving crashed and exploded a little further away, the thing was in flames, we had to jump off."

They both climbed into the cruiser and sat not to close from each other, Cat still trying to get the so called 'smudge' off her face.

'A few weeks later'

Jak and Daxter had met a girl with red hair called Ashelin on a mission at the pumping station. Torn and Cat, on the other hand, in the most awkward situations were paired up. And when they would be carrying on someone would walk in at some point.

"Torn! You ass!" Cat cackled as she ran around the desk in the HQ, throwing a bottle at him. He ducked and laughed hard. He chased her around the desk and stopped and pretended to go to either side, Cat doing the same, both of them were in fits.

"You'll never get meee!" Cat taunted, gasping for air as she spoke.

"It's all lies!" Torn growled at her breathlessly. They ran around the table a third time and stopped. "So I won't get you?"

"No, no you won't." She smirked.

"Lies!" Torn jumped up on the table and pushed her to the ground, tickling her, her legs squirmed beneath him as they both were in hysterics. His hands wandered, ticking under her arms and chin and stomach. He eventually stopped and stuck his tongue out at her. Cat's face quickly flushed over, upon realising what position they were in.

"What's wrong?" he asked calmly, his face red from laughing and running.

"Uh…Torn, look how we're 'sitting'…" Cat giggled lightly. Torn thought about it and quickly realised.

"Oh…sorry…" he got to his feet and offered a hand to her; she took his and pulled herself up. She laughed quietly and pushed his arm lightly. "You've started it again!" he quickly spat out and began chasing her again as they fell into hysterics once more.

The Demolition Duo walked up to the Freedom HQ, but before Jak was about to walk in, Daxter spoke.

"Wait Jak…listen…" They pressed their ears against the wall and listened in. Thump. There was a giggle and another two thumps. The giggle was clearly a girl, and Jak recognised the voice straight away. There was a loud hearty laugh, which was male. Torn. Fury engulfed Jak, and almost let his Dark Jak side free. He stormed in, ready to teach Torn not to touch his sister, but walked in a site he would not expect. Cat was being chased around the desk with papers on by Torn, they were sweating and faces were red.

"Cat…? Torn?" Jak asked, highly confused. They both stopped and looked over, Cat let a giggle slip every now and again, walking over to her bed and picking up some notes and writing, and Torn began reading some notes, and wiped the small patch of sweat from his brow.

Cat paid no attention to what Torn was telling Jak and Daxter, she began doodling underneath her page of notes on a page of parchment which was covered in 'Cat loves Torn' and 'Torn loves Cat', written over and over and small drawings of Torn, and hearts. She was like a schoolgirl and her first love, but Torn was her first love. Jak and Daxter left, Cat never bothered to look up or say goodbye, which was odd. Jak left feeling unwanted.

"That was close…" Cat snickered as the door closed and Torn fell into fits of laughter.

"Very." He walked over and sat on the bed beside her. "The KG found the new safe houses." He grumbled.

"You're kidding?" She asked, seeming as it was impossible.

"Yeah…I've told Jak to take them to the yellow district…" A small smile grew on her face and she hugged him lightly. The notes she had fell onto the floor. "I'll get it…" Torn bent down as well as Cat, their skulls colliding when they reached for the same piece of paper. They looked at each other and laughed quietly. Then Cat noticed her page of doodles, she reached for it, but it was too late, Torn had picked it up, he placed it on the pile, but then brought it back upon seeing his name doodled all over it.

"What's this?" he asked like a school teacher.

"Nothing…" she replied innocently, a smirk hiding underneath her hair, as it hung over her face.

He chuckled and moved her hair out of the way, kissing her softly. Cat threw her arms around him and they spent hours on the one bed.

(A/N: and for all those pervs out there, no, they didn't screw…not yet anyway …very close though…lmao)

"Big problem!" Torn told Jak and Daxter as they came in.

"What? Have the Yakows gone on a rampage?" Daxter huffed as a paper ball was thrown off his head; he turned around and saw Cat preparing another.

"It's Kor…he's the metal head leader." Torn's face was overwhelmed with worry and his heart filled with bubbling hate.

"How do you know?" Jak asked, leaning onto the table.

"Me and Cat worked it out…he's been letting metal heads into the city, and becomes nervous at the mention of eco." Torn took a piece of paper from Cat that she handed to him on request.

Torn began pointing out all the facts, and hints Kor had left behind. "And that child…Jak. That child is you." Torn stood straight.

"Well if that's me then what about Cat!" horror fell onto Jak's face, realising he may lose his sister.

"Don't worry, a small girl with blue hair and eyes was sighted in the green district, some personnel are looking for her, she'll be safe." Jak nodded unsure, it was time to strike back on Kor. Jak and Daxter left as Torn quickly walked over to Cat and took her hands.

"I promise I won't let anything happen to you." He assured her, and kissed her forehead. Cat nodded and wrapped her arms around him. She never wanted to be with anyone but him.

"Come on, let's go to the Hip Hop Hog saloon, we'll wait for any contact from there." Torn said getting her to her feet, they walked out of the door and hopped on a zoomer and made their way to the saloon.

When Jak had defeated Krew, Daxter had taken over, lots had happened, the Shadow had turned out to be a younger version of Samos, Keira had been rebuilding the time vehicle. They got off the zoomer and went inside the bar.

"Any word from Jak?" Cat asked as soon as they got inside.

"Raaaawk! Onin says that Jak is doing well battling Kor." A small parrot/monkey spoke, for a woman, who seemed to be wearing a large sombrero.

"That's just Pecker…" Keira told her, as Cat gave her a quick hug.

"Shouldn't we make our way to the metal head nest now?" Cat asked, wanting to see her brother as soon as possible, the fact that he could die had finally hit her. She looked at Torn pleadingly; she knew he wouldn't listen though. But it was worth a shot.

"Alright. Everyone get your stuff together, we're going now." Cat smiled warmly and picked up a bag. The younger version of Cat was sitting doodling on a piece of paper.

"Come on, we have to go now." The girl put the crayon down and folded up the paper.

"Look-later." She stammered. Cat took the paper and put it in her pocket and smiled. She picked her up and made her way for the door.

(A/N: Oh yes, the yin-yang sign that Jak has around his neck, he has one half and Cat has the other)

THUD. Kor's corpse fell to the floor. Young Jak was set free as well as the Precursor. He thanked him and disappeared. Just then, everyone ran in.

"Jak!" Cat ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She hugged him tightly. "Are you all right?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Everyone started saying their goodbyes, except Cat and Jak. Young Jak and Cat, Samos, the Shadow and Keira got in the vehicle.

"Jak, Cat! It's time to go home." Samos called over. Jak said nothing while Cat's gaze never left Torn, both of them heartbroken. This was the end.

"I'm not going." Cat looked at Jak stunned. "This is my home now." Keira got off the vehicle and stood in between them.

"We can't just leave dad, even you know that." Keira told her father, who agreed. A grin grew on Cat's face as she looked at Torn again, who was smiling as much as her.

"Well the Shadow and the twins must go back, they can't stay here." The Shadow and twins waved goodbye as they flew the vehicle into the portal, leaving the older twins a warmth on the inside.

Later that night, there was a celebration of Jak saving the world (practically XD). Cat was laughing at Daxter flirting with Tess; he was practically drooling in her arms. Torn and Cat tried to act normal, so no one would suspect their relationship. Of course, that was difficult. Torn and Ashelin, and she slipped her hands onto his shoulders, she could hear them talking, but she only caught the end of the conversation, but they were flirting alright.

"And besides, I'm dying to see you dance." Torn grinned but shook his head, that Cat missed. She had already gone outside. She was stood leaning on the Naughty Ottsel sign, since the Hip Hop Hog sign was removed. Tears tumbling down her face.

"Cat…" She turned around; Torn came through the door, unable to see the tears of the heartbroken silhouette. She turned around, the moon giving the tears a gloss.

"Cat what's wrong?" he took her in his arms, but she slowly pushed them away and sat on the foot of the Naughty Ottsel.

"Cat, tell me please." He begged, feeling his throat tighten. He'd never cared about someone so much.

"You and Ashelin. You're perfect for each other." She sobbed with her head in her hands.

"No, Cat! She was hitting on me. I would never go with her; you're the only one for me." He couldn't help it, they hadn't been dating for long but she meant the world to him, he couldn't hold it in, a tear fell down his face.

"Are you lying to me?" she asked, still unsure.

"No. I'd never." He held her hand and she stood up with a small smile as they kissed in the moonlight, they broke away for a minute. "If anyone asks…" Torn began.

"We were dvunk!" she said in a drunken kind of voice as they both kissed again, fireworks going off in the distance.

"Y'know, its times like these when it reminds me when my mother used to tuck me into bed with a warm glass of milk and a cookie with my teddy bear." Sig sighed looking at the moon smiling.

"Warm milk? Teddy bear? Whoa you just lost your rep there, Sig." Daxter joked.

"Well hello what do we have here?" Sig asked, hinting to look. Jak turned around with his jaw about to drop out. Everyone was outside right now, staring at the 'couple' beside the sign in an embrace, kissing passionately. Tess and Keira looked at each other and smirked, giving large 'whoops' and cheers to the pair, who broke away, the lights were turned on at full beam for the world to see. Cat looked at Torn and smirked.

"Well awn Jak!" She called with a drunken voice. Torn copied.

"Yeh did it! Yeh kept yaw sist'a here for me!" He smirked and kissed her again. Jak's eye twitched lightly, but he bought the idea that they were drunk.

The pair walked back inside, hand in hand and stood with everyone else outside watching the fireworks.

"Sig!" Torn slurred, it was fake, but Sig believed.

"Yeah Chilli Peppers?" he turned around facing them.

"We're goin' home, 'kay?" Sig nodded as Cat and Torn walked away from the Naughty Ottsel, only Sig knew.

"I've been here two years, and I didn't even know you had your own place…" Cat giggled lightly.

"Well you never asked." He smirked, closing the door behind them. As soon as the door was shut their lips were glued together as Torn pushed Cat up against the wall, his hands sliding through her hair. They made their way up to Torn's room, they fell on the bed.

"Wait…" Torn pulled away from her. "Samos and Keira only live next door…"

"They won't know…" Cat purred in his ear as he shivered lightly at her touch. In minutes their clothes were scattered on the floor, the bed tapping on the wall.

(A/N: and for the stupid pervs out there, they did screw XD)

HNG: That's the end of this chapter. Please review, I really love reading them XD

And if you must know, the end of this made me feel…stupid writing that lol. Peace.
