Lost with Your Luck
Disclaimer: I don't own LOST or Just My Luck
A/N: Ok so I watched that movie Just My Luck and liked the plot so I decided to turn it into a LOST version with Jate.. It's based very loosely around the movie.I basically just borrow the main idea so this will not ruin the movie if you are planning on seeing it. Well I am not going to explain anything so you can just go ahead and read!
--Beep beep beep --
Jack groaned as he woke up from his 108 minute nap. Well make that a 107 minute nap. He had timed it perfectly on purpose. As soon as Eko punched in the numbers Jack laid down and since he was tired it only took him a minute to fall asleep. He had been hoping that he would sleep through the beeping but it hadn't worked.
Jack got up from the bunk bed and ran his fingers through his short hair. It was about mid-day and there was nothing to do. Jack walked over to the bathroom and splashed some water on his face and glanced in the mirror. Boy he really needed to shave. But he had been busy as of late and hadn't had a chance. I'll do it today he promised himself.
(Kate in the jungle at the same time Jack was looking at himself in the mirror)
Kate was walking in the jungle to the hatch. There wasn't really a lot to do because everything had seemed to be finally settling down. Michael had gotten his son back and the for the time being the Others were minding their own business. There was just one thing that hadn't been settled-Jack and Kate. Sure they were on speaking terms and things were ok between them, but they avoided all subjects that would lead to talking about the kiss. Not to mention that day that Kate and Jack had gotten caught in a net. They both knew they needed to sort things out but Kate was pushing it off.
Suddenly, Kate tripped and fell.
"Ow." Kate rubbed her ankle. "Just great. Well at least now I have a reason to see Jack." Kate murmured to herself. As she was about to get up her gaze fell upon one lonely leaf clover growing in the middle of a patch of dirt.
"Well that's strange." Kate said as she picked the clover and fingered it. Then Kate remembered her hurt angle and stood up. She realized that she could walk fine, and actually her ankle didn't hurt at all.
"That's even stranger!" Kate then dropped the clover and continued walking to the hatch. Just because she felt better didn't mean she was okay. She would still need Jack to check it out.
Suddenly Charlie appeared from the side of the path. "Hey Kate."
"Hey Charlie."
"So what are you doing tomorrow night?"
"Me? Well probably the same thing I will do tonight and the same thing I did yesterday why?"
"Well Hurley and I are setting up a party tomorrow night to celebrate our three month anniversary on the island. Whad'ya say?"
"I think that's great Charlie. Sure I'll be there."
"Great. Oh there's one catch."
"What's that?"
"You have to come with a date."
"What? Why?"
"We thought it would be fun. Hurley already asked this girl named Susana. Hurley says they are going as friends. I'm planning on asking Claire."
"Well I suppose that's all right." Kate said, frowning. "Where will it be held at?"
"The hatch where all the music is at."
"Okay well I'll see you there then."
"Ok great! Oh and can you tell this to anyone that is at the hatch for me?" Charlie asked.
"Sure."
"Thanks." Charlie ran towards the beach.
Kate smiled. Now she really did have a reason to go to the hatch to see Jack. But who would Kate go with to the party?
"Well hey there sunshine."
Kate rolled her eyes and turned around. Sure enough, it was Sawyer.
"What do you want Sawyer?"
"Nothing. I was just saying hi." Sawyer walked along with Kate.
"What are you doing?"
"Got sick of reading. I'm taking up hunting."
"Hunting?" Kate laughed.
"What? You don't think I can hunt?"
"No. You can't even track Sawyer."
"I don't need no tracking experience to kill, Freckles."
"Yeah you do. And what are you planning to use, a gun?"
"No. Well, Yeah. There ain't no way I'm gonna throw a knife or something."
"You're right. I
couldn't imagine you throwing a knife."
"Yeah well you wanna
come?"
"No. I'm going to the hatch."
"Oh that's right. You gotta go tell Jacko 'bout the hot party tomorrow night. You hoping he'll ask you?"
"I am going to tell him about it, but I'm not hoping he'll ask me."
"Right, Well if he don't ask you, I'm free." Sawyer said, and with that he left.
Sawyer had basically given up a while ago on being with Kate and he no longer tried to fight it anymore. Ana's death had really shaken him.
Kate smiled. Well at least she had someone on the back burner just in case Jack didn't ask her.
(Jack in the kitchen looking for something to eat)
He opened up one cupboard and then turned around to the other cupboard and looked in it as well. There wasn't anything appetizing in that either so he closed it and turned around again. He bumped right into the cupboard door.
"Ow." Jack rubbed his head then decided to give up trying to find something to eat.
Jack walked over to the computer room where Eko was looking at the computer. Jack sat in the chair.
"Hey Eko how are things going with you?"
"I am all right Jack.
I'm just looking to see if this computer has anything
irregular."
"Irregular? Like what?"
"I am not sure." Eko smiled at Jack.
Jack looked confused. Then suddenly his chair fell backwards and there was a huge clattering sound as he struggled to get up and put the chair back.
"My ankle!" Jack exclaimed and rubbed it.
"Are you okay?" Eko asked, smiling.
"Yeah I'm fine. I think it's minor. It's not sprained or anything." But as jack walked out Eko noticed a slight limp.
A/n: ok that's it for the first chapter. I am going to upload the next chapter today as well as at first I was planning on making this a one-shot but it would be too long to do that.
