After they had all had their full of lunch, they all went their own way. Manny and Tiana left with Tooth for a tour of the city and so Tiana can see Tooth's birds, still feeling guilty for her hand in getting them captured. Abdima decided to go take a nap since he was still recovering from a past injury. North left with Sandy to see how the repairs were going. Jack and Aster went to their bedroom to further discuss going to the surface.

"Jack, I think this is a bad idea. You shouldn't go, your too important to your people and we can't risk you." Aster told him as soon as the door was closed.

"What?! But, you just said it was okay, especially if Tooth was going. What made you change your mind, in half an hour?" Jack asked, bewildered.

"Jackie, Tooth may be a great warrior but if we are facing a creature. I'm not sure she would be enough to protect you and I don't want to see you hurt. I mean have you seen how haunted everyone looks. The surface world won't be the same from when I lived up there." Aster answered oblivious to the fury rising in Jack.

"Aster. I am the best warrior in the Kingdom, I have killed before and I know what it is like to have blood-lust. I have spent most of my life learning how to fight and be strong. I am not weak and though I am thin, I have brought down men ten times bigger than me. Do not underestimate me Aster. Do not forget how our first meeting went. I don't fear easily and once you remember that, I expect your support and apology." Jack stated glaring at Aster fiercely enough to make him flinch. He walked toward the large window and whistled out a harsh note. As he stood on the windowsill, he looked back at Aster allowing him to see the frigid darkness within him, "I'll see you later Aster," He said before he jumped off the windowsill, landing on top of one of Tooth's birds and flying away.

Aster watched as his love got further away with guilt heavy in his heart. "Dammit." Aster cursed punching the wall by the window. Aster always forgot how much of a warrior Jack was because of his build. Jack was slim and lithe but he was also pure muscle. He can't believe that he had actually forgotten that about Jack, in fact he was lucky that Jack didn't kill him and the others at first sight. Jack had told him a few years ago that he had always killed any intruders that came and had just stopped wanting to kill when Aster and the others found the cave. But now Jack was furious with him and was more than likely going to avoid him till he's blown off some steam. Jack has only gotten this furious two other times. So Aster decided to go and talk to Tooth and see if she knew where Jack went to blow off steam, as well as get some advice on how to make it up to Jack for being a forgetful idiot.

Aster refused to ride any of Tooth's birds and if he could, he avoided riding any of the crafts as he still had an issue with heights, so he decided to walk to Tooth's bird sanctuary. As Aster walked to the sanctuary, he thought about how he's changed throughout the years.

He still did martial arts and had even began using boomerangs but he never really trained with Jack, mostly because he was so busy with repairs and meditation. And even though they have been together for 7 years they hadn't talked about going further than boyfriends. Aster knows that he wants to marry Jack but he just hasn't had the opportunity to talk to him about it because of the fact that Jack needs an heir. He knows that people accept them as they are and are very happy for them, yet he cant help but feel that he isn't giving Jack all that he could. If Jack stayed with him, he may could never have children and he knows Jack loves children. He wanted him happy and that's why he hasn't approached the subject of marriage with Jack. He hasn't even told Jack that something was going on with his crystal.

His crystal, which was given to him by Jack's father, has begun to feel differently a few years back. He had even begun to create things from his crystal that, as far as he knew, weren't possible Which is why he didn't tell Jack, because he feared what he was able to do. So he was working with his crystal on his own until he wasn't afraid anymore. As he got deeper into the surrounding foliage, Aster came to a complete stop.

Once he made sure that he was completely alone and that no one could see him, he tapped his foot against the ground. Suddenly a hole appeared by his foot, he quickly jumped in, leaving the bright green foliage behind for a dark, lightly glowing tunnel. The hole closed up above and Aster quickly jogged down the tunnel he created, concentrating on the location he wanted. In what would have taken him a half hour of walking, he made it deep into the sanctuary in 5 minutes. As soon as he felt that he was in the right location, he sent out a thought to see if there was anyone around, once he made sure no one was there he tapped his foot once more to open the tunnel and popped out.

Aster had discovered he could create these tunnels when he had gotten frustrated with Jack being in the Ice chamber. After a small freak out, he had begun to study what the tunnels were and how to activate them as well as what his limits were. So far it seems it all relies on his ability to concentrate on where he wanted to go and how fast he wanted to move. A few times he'd even been buried when he lost his concentration but luckily he was close to the surface and was able to escape. Once he had mastered this new found ability, then he would tell Jack about it, tell then he was keeping it a secret.

Once Aster had brushed off some of the dirt that had clung to his clothing, he was able to hear some voices a few feet away from him and so he headed in that direction. Once he cleared the thick leafage, he was able to see into a clearing where Manny, Tiana and Tooth were talking petting one of Tooth's birds. He wasn't able to fully understand what they were talking about but Aster guessed that it probably had something to do with the birds and what they're like.

"Oi, Tooth!" Aster called out stepping closer to the group. The others turned around at the sound of his voice and gave out a greeting.

"Hello Aster, what are you doing here? Wheres Jack?" She asked confused.

"That's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about actually." Aster answered rubbing the back of his neck.

"Okay. I'm a bit confused." She told him wondering what he meant.

"Well, I, kind of was a bit forgetful and Jack stormed off. Or really, flew off. Do you know where he goes to cool off?" Aster asked sheepishly.

"How were you forgetful Rabbit?" Tiana asked petting the large bird next to her.

"Yes, I would like to know what was so bad to make Jack fly off." Tooth asked with a raised eyebrow and crossed arms.

"I may have mentioned that he shouldn't go to the surface and that he may get hurt. Basically forgot that he was and still is a warrior. I was an idiot." He answered not looking her in the eye, knowing she was going to be angry.

"You really forgot that he's a warrior? How could you forget?! I was the one that trained him, Aster! Ugh, your an idiot." She told him with a glare.

"I already said that I was an idiot. I know that, just help me." He said with a glare.

"So you pissed off you husband by basically calling him weak?" Tiana asked amused by the situation.

"We're not married." "They're not married." Tiana and Aster said at the same time, Aster with some embarrassment and Tooth with exasperation.

"Your not married Aster? I thought after 7 years you would at least be engaged." De Luna asked confused. They really acted like a married couple and true, he didn't see a ring on ether of their fingers but there could be different tradition among Atlanteens.

"Yeah I thought you had already gotten married." Tiana stated wondering why they haven't gotten married by now.

"No, they haven't gotten married because they're idiots even though right now everyone is just waiting for them to, as you say, tie the knot. Even some of the advisers are getting frustrated, and they haven't been this frustrated since Jack's father." Tooth remarked with a roll of her eyes.

"Yes, we're not married. And really, the reason we haven't is because we haven't really talked about it and we haven't talked about the consequences of marrying me. So that's why I haven't asked him yet.

"What consequences are you talking about Aster?" De Luna asked confused by his statement.

"Well if he marries me, we can never have children and he wouldn't have an heir. I know Jack loves kids and he would love to have his own. I cant give him children and I can't take that opportunity from him. I guess I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop." He answered not looking any one in the eye. He heard footsteps heading towards him and then he felt a stinging slap on the back of his head. He gave out a yelped and looked up to see who had hit him, it was Tooth.

"Wha' tha hell Tooth?! That really hurt!" He exclaimed rubbing the back of his head, only to get punched in the shoulder by Tiana. "Ow!"

"You are an idiot Aster, Jack knows that he could never have biological children of his own and he doesn't care. As for the heir problem, he could always choose someone else to do it, it doesn't have to be him. I thought you would know that since your the expert in our culture." Tooth stated with a sharp glare.

"I'm not an expert. And doesn't the throne have to be passed to someone in the royal family bloodline because of the Heart? So he cant just choose someone else." Aster replied still rubbing the back of his head as well as his shoulder.

"Once someone that isn't of the royal bloodline is chosen to be the next ruler, a ceremony occurs that will basically register their bloodline as the new royal bloodline, so really anyone can become a part of the royal bloodline so long as someone from the current bloodline is around to register the new bloodline. Jack is the only one the knows how to do that since its a secret held very tightly by the royal family. Might be why you didn't know." Tooth explained. Aster thought for a moment and he couldn't remember ever reading anything about this ceremony so that must be why he never heard of it and why Jack never mentioned it.

"So now that you know this, you don't have an excuse to not ask Jack to marry you. So next time you see him, ask him. I'm sure he'll say yes." Tiana told him with a soft smile.

"I feel that that is not the only issue preventing Aster from proposing to Jack, is it Aster?" De Luna asked.

"Your right, that's not the only issue. I mean I'm not a real Atlantean and sure I've helped the people but would they accept me as Jack's husband? And I know nothing about how I could help Jack rule a kingdom. I would only hold him back." Aster replied turning to sit on a nearby rock.

"Aster, we all see you as an Atlantean, you may not have been born here, but you have the heart of one and I believe our late King told you that. As for helping Jack rule the kingdom, you have already done that and besides, should he need some more help in ruling he has advisers to lean on. As for you holding him back, I doubt it. I have known Jack all his life and you are one of the best things to happen to him. He's better because of you, I believe that the both of you are better for being in each others lives. So you have no more excuses. Ask him." Tooth stated kneeling in front of him.

"Thank you Tooth. You have no idea how much that meant to me. But don't forget, he's furious with me, so do you know where he would go to cool off?" Aster asked squeezing Tooth's hand with a soft smile.

"Yeah I think I know where." She answered with a smirk.

0000000000

Once Jack had jumped out of their bedroom window and flown off, he headed off to a place that he was sure Aster didn't know about and would be too scared to go to. Away from the palace and homes there was lava and overgrown towers of stone. Yet there was this one long tower of stone that on the top was a large body of water. It was similar to the lake that he took Aster to when he first came here, yet the water was not as deep, only coming to his upper chest. Also the water was a clear crystal blue that showed a pale sandy bottom. He had discovered the pond one day when he was exploring the outskirts of his kingdom. After the lava had settled down a bit more, he was able to get a lot closer without overheating and as soon as he stepped into the cool water, he felt peace. He had even started to decorate the area around the pond with his frost and bringing over some pillows and blankets to make a comfortable area under a tree that was growing on the side of the tower. He had no idea what this area may have once been but it was undamaged and not as overgrown as many of the towers surrounding it. He didn't know why it was like that but who was he to question a miracle?

He never told Aster about this place though because, he wanted his own space. He loved Aster but sometimes he wanted to get away and clear his head. He used to do that with his ice cave but now, too many people knew about it. And it didn't have as many good memories as he thought it did. He landed on the shore and signaled the bird to leave and he headed to his shaded area and laid down with a sigh. He knew that Tooth knew about this place because her birds basically tell her everything, he still has no idea how she could understand them, and he knows that she followed him at least once. But she hasn't told Aster about it, at least he doesn't think so, and he was grateful for that and he may show Aster one day. For now though, he was secure in the fact that Aster is terrified of heights and would never think of coming this far out.

Jack laid there for a few moments trying to get the anger that was still within him out because he knows that Aster just wanted to protect him even if he didn't need protecting. It was sweet now that he really thought about how Aster was feeling but what really got him angry wasn't that fact that Aster said he could get hurt, it was that Aster wanted to prevent him from seeing the world above. All his life he has known the underground and given his natural curiosity he has explored almost the whole area and now he was being given the chance to explore the world above. So with the thoughts of what the world above looked like from Aster's descriptions, he fell asleep.

000000000

"So how do you know about Jack's place?" Aster asked from behind Tooth as he tried to keep his nausea down, as well as his fear. Tooth was currently flying them to some location that Jack apparently goes to when he wants to be alone. Aster didn't even know about it and if he was being honest with himself, he felt a little bit hurt. The fact that Jack didn't tell him about this place and why he needed it, but he really couldn't make an opinion until he heard from Jack why he needed this place. So now he was on the back of one of Tooth's birds heading to this secret location and he still had no idea what he was going to say to him. He knew he had to apologize and acknowledge that he knew that Jack could take care of himself. That he just worried about him and he needed to tell Jack how he felt about not being good enough for him. They really needed to discuss that and maybe discuss getting married. He was terrified of talking about marriage with Jack because he didn't know how Jack would feel about it.

"Hey there it is!" Tooth cried out pointing to a large tower just ahead of them.

"So I'm going to drop you off on that ledge so you can have a bit of time before you get to Jack and I actually think that he fell asleep so I don't want to startle him by landing, is that fine?" Tooth asked as they got closer and slowed down.

"Yeah that's fine, I should be able to climb it easily." He answered getting ready to get off the bird.

"Okay, this is as close as I can get so your going to have to jump." Tooth told him making sure that her bird was hovering as close to the ledge as possible. Aster crouched on the back of the bird knowing that they could take his weight and gauged the distance making sure he could reach it.

"Ya, I should be able to make it. Thanks again Tooth." Aster replied giving her a brief salute before he jumped off. He easily landed on the ledge and once he was standing, he turned back and gave Tooth a wave. She called out a good luck before she flew off giving him and Jack privacy. He let out a breathe and turned back to begin climbing.

After a few minutes of climbing, Aster made it to the top and he was stunned to put it lightly. Really the sight was mesmerizing. There were beautiful frost designs throughout the area, though it didn't feel cold which was odd but it showed how well Jack could control his powers, and the pond itself was so beautiful especially against the glow of the setting light. The grass that was around the whole area was a rich green that felt like cushions on his bare feet and there was actually a bit of shade provided by the trees that were growing on the side of the tower which just added to the calming atmosphere surrounding the area.

Aster started to look around a little more to see where Jack was and was finally able to spot him a bit hidden beneath the largest tree. From the ground it was a bit hard to see him because of the branches almost reaching the ground, providing a leafy cave like area. He moved closer with a smile as he saw how peaceful Jack looked curled up on his side. He ducked into the leafy cave looked down at Jack and the little nest that he had created, noticing that a lot of the pillows were from their bedroom and he had wondered where they had gone to. He gave out a light chuckle and laid down behind him wrapping an arm around his waist pulling him closer so that they could spoon. He pressed a kiss to Jack's head, receiving a soft hum from him before he put his head down and closed his eyes drifting off into dreamland.

000000000

Jack slowly began to wake up and as he started to go back into consciousness, he began to realize somethings. First that there was an arm around his waist, his legs were tangled with another pair of legs, and he had his cheek on a chest. A very firm chest that he knew anywhere. Why was Aster here? He thought a bit confused because last he remembered he was at his special pond and Aster didn't know about his special pond, unless... Tooth told him. He groaned lightly, though he was happy to have Aster there with him. He slowly opened his eyes to see what time it was and saw that it was already dark and the fireflies flying around the area. He tilted his head and looked up to see Aster still sleeping and softly snoring. He gave a soft smile and shifted some more so that he was laying completely on Aster's chest with his cheek resting on his folded hands as he looked at Aster.

"Aster. Aster. Wake up." Jack said softly.

Aster gave out a groan before his eyes started to flicker and open. Aster looked down with a frown, looking very confused.

"Not now Snowflake, later. Lets just sleep then have fun." Aster muttered closing his eyes and hugging Jack tighter making him give out a squeak and blush. Jack slapped Asters chest getting a grunt for his efforts.

"Ow, Jackie. What was that for?" Aster asked now a bit more awake.

"Aster, your not where you think we are. Can you remember where you are?" Jack answered still blushing.

Aster frowned and thought about what he was doing before he fell asleep and suddenly it clicked.

"I'm at your pond, I was going to talk to you but you were asleep so I went to sleep next to you." Aster answered giving a soft cough as he remembered what he had offered Jack also hiding the grin he had at Jack's red face.

"Okay, so did Tooth tell you about my pond and bring you here? Because I know that you wouldn't come here on your own because of how high it is." Jack replied putting his chin on his hands.

"Yeah she told me about it after I told her about the fight we had and asked her where I could find you. But Jack I would do anything to get to you regardless of my fears." He said brushing the back of his hand against Jack's cheek.

"I know Aster, just pulling your tail. But you said you wanted to talk to me?" Jack said with a bright smile.

Aster chuckled at the jest, "Yeah I wanted to talk to ya. I wanted to apologize about what I said, I know that you are capable Jack. I'm just scared of you getting hurt and it somehow being my fault. I lost my whole family and I couldn't do anything to prevent that but if I could stop you from getting hurt or worst, dying. Then I will do everything I can to make sure that I can protect you even if you don't need any protection. That's just how I am, but I can never doubt your ability to protect yourself. I love you and I will always love you." Aster told him with a loving smile.

Jack stared at Aster and he saw how much love was being directed at him. He knew that Aster loved him but he always worried that he missed the surface world and he maybe regretted being stuck down here, with him. He loved Aster with all his heart, and really he was ready to be with him forever, but he didn't know if Aster was willing. He knew that Aster would live as long as him because he had his own crystal but still he worried that Aster may not want this. And he knew that the only way to find out for sure if he wanted to was to ask.

"Aster I forgive you and I know that your just worried about me but can I ask you something?" Jack replied turning his eyes down.

"Sure Snowflake, you know you can ask me anything." Aster said with a confused frown.

"Do you want to be with me for the rest of our long lives?"

Aster was surprised and shocked by Jack's question, mostly because he wasn't expecting it but also he felt relief that Jack felt the same as him.

"Yes, Snowflake, I do want to be with you until our time comes to an end and I wont lie and say that I wasn't worried that I wasn't good enough for you. I thought that you wouldn't want to be with me because I cant give you an heir, and before you interrupt, Tooth told me that you can choose someone to be your heir and make them a part of the royal family. But I was so worried that I wasn't good enough for you, that I didn't deserve you, and so I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. The others set me straight but I still wanted to talk to you about this because we should be communicating with one another rather than keeping our thoughts and feelings locked up. So yes, I want to be with you for the rest of our lives and I hope that you feel the same love." Aster answered sitting up with Jack straddling his lap and holding him close.

Jack looked at Aster with surprise, he couldn't believe that Aster really thought that he wasn't good enough for him when he felt the same way about Aster. He thought that he was preventing Aster from having children as well as keeping him from going to the surface world where his friends were. He knows that Aster and him should have been talking to each other more often rather than let their feelings fester. He also felt so much Joy, at the fact that Aster did want to be with him for the remainder of their lives. He was so glad that they were in agreement and maybe after some more discussion they could talk about finally getting married.

"Aster you are worthy of being with me, you have made my life worthwhile and I have lived for hundreds of years. I have to be honest, I thought that I wasn't worthy of you." Jack told him with a small smile, placing his hands flat on Aster's chest.

"What? Why would you think that Jack?" Aster asked surprised.

"I cant give you children, um, I'm keeping you from going back to the surface world where all of your friends are, and I don't know. You've just done so much for me and my Kingdom and its just incredible that you've done all of this when I feel as if I have done nothing for you Aster, except cause you to worry about me and my people constantly." Jack explained drawing little designs on his chest, not looking him in the eyes.

"Jackie, come on look at me. I have never regretted staying down here with you. I have spent most of my life learning about your kingdom and world, and because of that I feel like I have always been here. You are the best thing to happen to me and so I don't want you to feel like that ever again. As for the children thing, well there are plenty of children around and that's enough for me, how about you?" Aster replied pushing Jack's chin up to look into his eyes.

"Yes that's enough for me. I love you Aster."

"I love you too Jackie." He said pulling him in for a kiss. Jack hummed against his lips as they kissed and when the kiss ended they just sat there and hugged each other.

"Hey love."

"Yeah Aster?"

"How about we have some of that fun I mentioned a while ago?" He said with a smirk as Jack blushed and gave out a brief laugh before he responded.

"Sounds like fun." He replied chuckling as he kissed Aster again.

00000000000

Once it was morning Aster and Jack arrived at the palace to let the others know that they will be joining them on their mission to hunt down the Kraken. As they entered the main dinning area they saw that everyone was there and once they saw Aster and Jack walk in holding hand Tooth and Tiana rushed at them.

"Congratulations!" Tooth cried out hugging Jack, causing him to give out a breathe of air.

"Congratulations on what, Tooth?" Jack gasped out letting go of Aster to hug Tooth back.

"Congratulations on, um, Aster apologizing to you. And sharing your secret place." Tiana replied when he noticed Aster quickly shake his head behind Jack.

"Right, of course, congratulations on you two communicating. I'm, I'm going to go sit down now." Tooth said with a blush and glare at Aster.

"Hey Jackie why don't you go sit down also, I just need to talk to Tiana really quick." Aster suggested.

"Sure Aster, just don't take too long." He replied leaning up to place a kiss on his cheek, and walking away.

"Why didn't you propose like you said you would?" She asked once Jack was sitting down and talking to De Luna.

"I got distracted, he can be distracting. I'll propose at the surface that way he has the experience and I have more time." Aster answered with a light blush on his face as he thought about how they spent their night.

"I don't want to know. Really, nothing. But you better keep your word, else me and Tooth will keep bugging you about it. Got it?" Tiana remarked.

"Yah got it, just don't mention or hint at it." Aster replied moving to go sit down next to Jack.

"So Aster, Jack was telling me that you both are clear in wanting to join us on our hunt for the Kraken up on the surface." De Luna remarked placing his elbows on the table and pressing his fingertips together.

"Yeah, that's right. We talked about it last night and we will be joining you along with Tooth. So when will we be leaving?" Aster asked rubbing his thumb over Jack's knuckles.

"Well we are glad that you are coming and we were actually discussing leaving today as our ship should be passing by in a about 2 hours so, I would suggest making preparations and packing." De Luna answered with a glance at his watch.

"All right I will go and tell my advisers that I will be gone for a few days but I do have a slight problem." Jack remarked with a small smile.

"Well what problem will that be your Majesty?" Abdima asked.

"The only clothing that I own are my Atlantean ones and some armor. I doubt that my clothes will be acceptable in the outside world." Jack answered gesturing to the clothes that he was currently wearing. The others took a second to see what he was wearing and they knew that they would not be acceptable considering how revealing it was and he would already stand out with the white hair and tattoos.

"Yeah that could be a problem mate, I mean I've still got my old clothes and I doubt that they would fit you." Aster commented.

"I had actually foreseen this problem and had some clothes made in Jack's size. I do hope that they fit." De Luna told them.

"That's good, um what about Tooth?"

"Also taken care of your Majesty." North answered.

"Wait, how did you know that we would need clothes for Tooth?" Jack asked shocked that De Luna had clothes prepared.

"Well, when we were preparing to come down here I knew that asking Aster to come to the surface would more than likely provoke you to come with us and if the King was to come then he would more than likely have a guard accompany him which I weighted the possibility it being Tooth rather than Sandy. And it would seem I was right." De Luna answered with a small smirk at Jack's surprise.

"Wow." He murmured surprised.

"How long would we be gone?" Aster asked smiling at Jack's expression.

"We cant really say, it depends on how long it takes us to find the creature as well as any obstacles that we should encounter." Porc answered fiddling with his coat.

"Alright, I will go get what we need and inform someone to take care of my birds while you two get packed and Jack tells the advisers what it going on. We will meet back here in an hour, okay?" Tooth said getting up and leaving the room to start packing.

"Okay well we will meet you here in an hour then." Aster said getting up with Jack.

"Very well we will also go and get our things and begin preparations to leave so that we can meet with the boat." De Luna said also standing. Soon they all left to get ready. Aster packed for both him and Jack while Jack talked to his advisers and let them know what was going on as well as to settle some problems.

Within an hour everyone was down by the aircrafts that they had arrived in and there were even some citizens there to see their King off. Tooth was tying a chest on the back of one of their own aircrafts since they wouldn't fit in the aircrafts that the others had come in. Aster was talking to some of the reconstruction crew about some of the projects that they would be doing while he was gone. Everyone else was getting the aircrafts ready to go. Jack was looking back at his palace and mentally saying goodbye for now. He was jerked from his thoughts as something tugged on his clothes making him look down to see what it was. What he saw was Jamie looking at him with sad eyes.

Jack knelt down to Jamie's level and touched his shoulders, "Jamie? What wrong? Why do you look sad?"

"Are you leaving us?" Jamie asked not looking him in the eye.

"Well yeah, but-"

"No, are you leaving us forever?" Jamie cried out holding back tears. Jack was surprised by Jamie's reaction and wasn't entirely sure what had brought this on.

"Jamie, I will only be gone for a few days or weeks. I will come back I promise." Jack reassured bringing him in for a hug.

"But how will I know your okay when I cant see you, if I cant see you how will I believe your okay?" Jamie asked hugging Jack tight.

"Well, do you think that when the fireflies appear at night glowing and disappear during the day that they are fully gone?" Jack asked with a small smile.

Jamie snorted, "No. They always come back."

"That's right, so I will be like one of those fireflies. I will be back, just a little later. But I will be back. I can never leave you or my people because this is home and my responsibility. So I want you to promise me that you will not be sad and think of what games we'll play when I get back. Maybe we'll play some pranks on Aster?" Jack told him with a smile.

Jamie laughed rubbing away the tears in his eyes, "Okay, I promise. So are you and Aster finally getting married?"

"Um, we said we wanted to spend the remainder of our lives together but um, he didn't propose so maybe not right now. I just don't know Jamie, maybe I'll just ask him." Jack answered with a blush.

"Well you should, everyone is always wondering when you would get married. They're saying you guys will grow old before you get married and hope you hurry up. So when you come back, you guys should be engaged at least." He said with a grin.

Jack gave out a disbelieving laugh, "Um, alright, we'll try. So one more hug." They hugged once more before Jack heard Aster calling for him and telling him it was time to go.

"Okay, bye Jamie. I'll be back soon, I promise." Jack told him giving him a tight hug.

"Bye, Jack. I'll miss you. Come back safe." Jamie said returning his hug.

"I'll miss you too, and I will be safe." He said before he got up and left to join Aster and the others.

Once Jack was near the others they began to board and prepare for take off. Aster and Jack were both going to be riding in one of their aircrafts while Tooth was on the other which carried the chest and their luggage since it was the largest.

"We'll be back before you know it love. Don't worry." Aster told him as he saw how Jack look back at the palace.

"I know Aster, I've just never been so far from home." He replied before boarding behind Aster on the craft.

"Well its a new adventure and I'm sure you'll have a great time." Aster said as they began to takeoff. Jack just nodded and watch as his people waved at them and wished them well, yet he couldn't help but have a bad feeling about what was going to happen. Aster, I hope that nothing happens,and I hope your right. He thought giving one last look at his home before it was swallowed up by the cave leading to the surface.
