Chapter 3: Work and The Underground

(Back with Anita)

Anita slowly awoke from her nap. She looked outside and noticed that it would be dark soon. I better get to work, she thought.

(Anita's Pov)

As soon as I walked through the door I saw Tess, "Hey Nita!" she said, "I see you came."

"Of course, why wouldn't I?" I asked. Tess just shrugged. We talked for several hours about everything, including where I was from and what happened to my friends. She was about to say something when...

"Hey baby, miss me?" asked a rodent. I was stuned. Who was this again? I thought, was it Jaxter or was he called…

"Daxie Waxie, when did you get here?" Tess asked

I just shook my head and then I heard, "Hey toots, get me a Tequila on the Rocks would ya?" A hefty man asked. Tess was about to, but I had already started mixing the alcoholic cubstance together. Then I gave it to the man. "Woohoo!" he said, "Now that's the stuff."

"Hey Dax, " Tess began, "Where's Jak?"

"He's over there in the back booth." He said, "Why?"

"Well he's usually with you." She said

"Oh," he said, "He's in one of his moods, if you know what I mean.

"Oh, got it." She said

(Original Pov)

As the night went on Anita got busier and busier. Finally the place seemed to quiet down. By 5 a.m. almost all of the drucks were gone. Except for the guy in the back booth. Anita shook her head. He'd been there all night long just sitting there. She looked at Dax, who was asleep as well as Tess. She then took her CD Player out of her bag, put the head phones on and listened to her Christina Aguilera-Mix cd.

The man at the back talb looked up at Anita.

Anita, forgetting where she was began singing the song Fighter out loud, but quietly.

After all you've put me through

You'd think I'd despise you

But in the end I wanna thank you

"cause you've made me that much stronger

Well I thought I knew you

Thinking you were true

Guess I-I couldn't trust cause you had, had enough.

You were there by my side

But you were only down for the ride…..

The man just sat there listening , taking in every word into consideration.

(Jak's Pov)

Damn I thought who was this girl? She was gorgous or was that the alcohol I've ingested tonight, but whatever.

So I wanna say Thank you, because

It made me that much stronger

Makes me work a little harder

Makes me that mush wiser

So thanks for making me a Fighter

That song fits me, I thought, what prison did to me, how I became this tough, unreachable person. Maybe that's why Keira despises me, because of what I became. I gave an exasperated sigh

Never saw it coming

Or your back stabing

So, you could catch in on a good thing,

Before I realized your game

I hear you're going around, playing,

The victum now, what don't you even feel the pain I'm in

Because you took it all away….

I looked and listened to the girl some more, Where's Daxter? I thought

"Thanks for making me a Fighter

Thought I would forget

Thought I remember……….I remember!"

(Original Pov)

Anita looked around the Saloon. She was finally done cleaning. The place even smelled better. The man in the back suddenly got up and walked up to the bar, where she was. He seemed to be looking for something or somebody. "Can I help you?" she asked as she suddenly realized this was that Jak guy that her sis and friend were always drooling over. Damn he's cute, she thought to herself, does he have a brother? she wondered.

"Yeah," he said, "Have you seen a small creature."

"Is he 2 ft tall, orange, flirts a lot, and is annoying?" she asked

"Yes," Jak answered with a smile.

Damn, it she thought, That smile makes him look so sexy "Yeah, he's with Tess." she finally answered.

"So what," he began, "did you take Tess's job or something?"

"No, she needed help here and Krew was hiring." she said

"So, you took the job because you were desperate. Right?" he asked

"Sortta." she said, "I'm also sortta looking for my friends. Although, the last time I saw them they were being chased by a creepy guard."

"Creepy guard?" he asked

"Yeah," she said, "What did Krista call him?" she began thinking back.

Jak looked up at her and asked, "It wasn't Errol was it?"

"Yeah, that's the name!" she exclaimed

Jak gave an exasperated sigh, How can I tell her, she may never see them again? he asked himself.

Meanwhile

"I told you it would work." said Krista

"Yeah I guess you were right." Renee said, "I was wondering when Errol was gonna come back and cut your tongue out. But I guess that song is just as annoying in this world as it is in ours."

"Cut my tongue out?" Krista asked Renee. Renee gave an apologetic smile. "Anyways," began Krista, "Now we join the Underground."

"Lead the way." said Renee

The two girls walked toward the dead-end alley that held the Underground. Once they reached it, they saw three KG soldiers about to attack a little boy, with green hair.

"Hey, let him go." demanded Renee.

The guards turned around, and the leader replied back and said, " This is non of your business girlies. Now scram!"

"Girlies?" asked Krista, "Nobody calls us that."

"Take the boy." said the leader, "Did you hear me Mac."

"Yes sir!" said the one named Mac, "Come her kid."

"I take it, your mother's never taught you to listen to your superiors." the other guard said

"Yeah, they taught us." stated Renee

"But that doesn't mean we listened." finished Krista, "You want the one on the left or the right."

"The right." replied Renee

With that the girls charged the guards, catching them off guard. (Moon-Angel-Eyes: Hey I did a play on words here...SilverEyes18: Good for you.)Krista broke her guard's helmet, twisted his arm, and kicked him really, really, hard in the jewels. Renee did the same this, but as he fell to his knees her leg began to glow red and as she kicked him in the head, his head was torn off of his body and rolled toward Mac, who was ready to run.

"Cool! How'd you do that!" exclaimed Krista

"Long story." she replied, then she looked at Mac and said, "Are you sure you wanna fight us, after we did this to your comrades?"

"If you don't wanna fight." began Krista, "I suggest you put the boy down, runaway, and act like nothing ever happened."

"Or I'll kill you like I did your leader." stated Renee

Mac, thankfully did as he was told and ran like a bat out of hell and the devil was after him.

"Hey kid are you okay?" asked Krista as the kid hugged her.

"Hey, I-ecia," began Renee, "Look at his hair. It's green and blond."

"Hey, little guy," Krista said, "You're little Jak. Aren't you cute!" she squealed

"Who the hell are you?" asked a deep, uninviting voice.

Meanwhile

"So what's your name?" asked Jak

"Anita...Anita Winsler." she replied, "You?" Although I already know. she thought, Too bad he's already taken, by what's-her-name.

"Jak...just Jak." he replied back." So where'd you learn to sing?"

"Huh?" she answered intelligently, "Oh..no...that wasn't me singing...well it was but..." Jak laughed at her obvious embarrassment.

Suddenly Daxter jumped up on the bar and smiled at Jak...This is the first time in months he's laughed, he thought, "What did I miss." Daxter asked.

"Hey Jak." greeted Tess, "I guess you met Anita. She's new in town, like you two.Well actually she's been here for, what, 4-5 months?"

That caused Jak to stop laughing, "What do you mean?"

"Can I tell him?" Tess asked Anita

"I guess." she replied

"You see Jak, " began Tess, "Anita and her two friends are from another world."

"Another world?" Daxter asked disbelievingly

"Yeah," Anita began, " We're from Earth. A planet that's most likely millions of light-years away from this one."

"How's you get here then?" asked Jak

"I built a machine, but it was suppose to take us into the past, but it malfunctioned and brought Renee, my best friend, Krista, my little sister, and I here instead." she said.

"If you want help," began Jak, "We could help you. Of course we'd have to talk to Torn and all."

"Sounds good." Anita said.

"Honey don't do it." said Daxter

"Dax...it's not like Torn would make her do a suicide mission, like he does with us."Jak whispered

"I'm still willing to go." she said

"Okay, lets go." Jak said.
