Hey Ya'll Foxhound back at it again with chapter 8 of The Demon Arrives From The Sky (or T.D.A.F.T.S for short.) Anyway you all know the drill by now read and review to let me know hat you think!

DISCLAIMER: As we're all aware the Crash series is not mine and never will be.

Tawna stood still for a moment as her eyes locked with the man she never thought she would see again, there standing not 10 feet away was her old friend and ex Crash Bandicoot.

She took a moment to clear her head, before she greeted Crash's group with a smile.

"Well this is unexpected! Never thought I'd see you again Crash." Tawna said to the bandicoot in question winking as she did making him blush as he scratched the back of his neck.

"Nice to see you again too Tawna.."

Jack took note of the exchange and put it in the back of his mind before letting the two know they weren't alone.

"AHEM!"

Tawna was the first to notice, as she jumped from being startled. "Oh! Jack! I didn't hear about you coming tonight boss?!"

However as that sentence left her lips she noticed everyone minus Jack and his parents, giving her odd stares. "What?" She asked confused.

"You just called him boss." Crash spoke in confusion.

Jack decided to speak then, getting everyone of the bandicoots attention. "Oh yeah hehe I guess I never did tell you guys did I?"

Jack said which just got more confused looks from the others, "*Sigh* I guess I better explain.." He muttered before clearing his throat. "This restaurant we're at? I'm it's owner.." He then trailed off as Crash suddenly spoke a look of realization on his face.

"Wait! If that's true then that would mean your Tawna's..." Crash trailed off as he looked at his ex in shock. The female bandicoot just nodded saying "Yeah, he's my boss." Chuckling a bit as Crash suddenly face vaulted.

"Your kidding!" Coco asked half surprised and half amused at the sudden turn of events, Jack just laughed as he shook his head as he turned to address Tawna "I'm not here on business tonight Twana. I'm just out here to have a night out with my family and to celebrate Coco's birthday." He said as he gave his wife a happy smile.

In that next moment Tawna snaged Coco in a hug, "I totally forgot! Happy birthday Coco!" She squealed as Coco returned the hug, "Thanks Twana." Coco said before returning to Jack's side taking his hand in hers ounce more.

After taking a moment to gain control over herself, Twana quickly ushered the group over to the bar, where she was stationed. While the group was looking through the menu, Jack thought that now would be a good time to get some answers to the exchange he saw earlier.

"Hey Tawna?"

"Yeah boss?"

"If you don't mind me asking, What's the story between you & Crash?"

Jack noticed Twana tense up for a moment as well as Crash before Jack quickly elaborated, "When you two greeted each other when we walked in, it seemed like you two already knew each other before now.."

Tawna sighed for a moment before mustering up the courage to speak, "Crash & I were ounce a couple until we ended the relationship, it's been 6 years sense then as of today.." Twana said as she glanced at Crash giving him a clear view of her light green eyes that gave off a feeling of pain, regret & gilt all in one expression.

"I see.." Jack said looking thoughtful.

"Don't you two regret breaking up?" Coco suddenly spoke grabbing the pair's attention. "What do you mean Coco?" Crash asked wanting to hear his sister out.

"I mean don't you two think that you could have worked things out between the two of you? It's not good for the two of you to keep avoiding each other and bottling up your gult like this."

The two stared at each other for a second that seemed like forever, until Jack spoke up again.

"She's right you know?"

Not getting any response out of the two he continued, "You can try and keep your guilt bottled up but one day, sooner or later that cork is going to pop."

Twana noticed Crash sigh for a moment before he spoke up again.

"You're right Jack. I know bottling up guilt is never good because it changes you, warps your way of thinking.."

Crash trailed off as he looked Twana square in the eye. "..Because that exact situation happened to me."

Tawna gasped in shock as she took in this new information, "Your joking.."

Crash shock his head the grim look not ounce leaving his face. "I wish it could have been a joke."

Tawna took a moment to chose her words carefully "What happened to you?" She asked, the question coming out like a whisper upon the wind.

Crash thought back for a moment on what happened that day before explaining, "It started a day after we broke up you left the island."

"I was still reeling in the shock of you leaving.."

Crash sighed to himself as he worked up the courage to continue, "All it took was one day for my emotions to go nuts and make me spiral out of control, and by the sixth day I was so far gone that I didn't want anyone around me."

Coco then spoke up adding "After 6 days I just couldn't stand seeing him like that, so I had to go and smack him upside the head to knock some sense into him."

Tawna giggled a little at that, "Really?" She asked as she looked over at crash whom was smiling again. "If by ''smack'' you mean knock me into a wall. Then yes, you did knock some sense into me."

The group laughed at that making the mood go from sad to chiper again.

The rest of the night went on uneventfully until Jack and the others were about to head home when Twana pulled Crash aside seemingly to talk with him privately.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Coco asked her husband quizzically.

"No clue."

"What's this about Tawna?" Crash asked as Tawna looked to be lost in thought.

"Knowing what happened to you after I left.. I'm beginning to regret that decision."

Crash's eyes went wide. "You don't mean!"

Tawna nodded, "I don't want you to go through that again..."

"Let's get back together."
