Me: I hope there is more JakxAubrey fluff.
Chris: They look so cute together.
Aubrey: Will you guys shut up!
Jak: Are you embarrassed?
Aubrey: *Blushes* No. It's just...well...Forget it. Princess doesn't
own anything except me and Christian.
Chris: On with the Show!
Isn't Love Grand?
Guns
In the early morning Aubrey was the first one up. She kept tossing and turning so she woke up. She kept have dreams about her family and their worries. When she turned over to try and go back to sleep her nose come in contact with Jak's nose and she screamed. "Whoa Aubrey what's...why the hell are you in my bed?" Jak looked puzzled at her. "You came in my bed. I went to sleep before you did. Did you even Check the bed before you got in?" Jak hadn't thought of that. He then was about to say something until Daxter inter vined. "Whoa Jak. Put it on ice big guy. I wouldn't do it this early in the morning." Aubrey then realized what Daxter was talking about and blushed a deep red. "We should get up anyway. We have to go to the Fortress." Jak got out the bed to take a shower and get dress. Aubrey soon followed suit and started off to Tess' to get dressed
"I don't want to get up." Christian mumbled under her breath. But Aubrey dragged her out the bed until she was on the floor. "I hate you." Chris said. "No you don't. You hate the fact I dragged you out the bed." Aubrey said a matter of fact tone. Aubrey then headed towards the bathroom as she was about to knock Jak opened the door, wearing nothing but a towel. "Uh...I need...to get in there." Aubrey couldn't help, bur stare at Jak's chest. "Sure it's clean." Jak said with a hint of a smile in that sentence. Jak got out the way and walked towards the back rooms. Aubrey stopped her trance a procceded into the bathroom. She began washing her hair. It grew all the way down to her butt during the time she spent in the prison.
Once Aubrey was out and dressed. Christian was already dressed as well and ready to go. Jak came from the other and so did Daxter. "You guys ready to go?" Aubrey and Chis nodded their heads. "C'mon then." Jak lead them to a three seated zoomer and began towards the fortress. Once they drove up to it. Aubrey remember this was the part in the game with the huge Tank and Jak and Daxter had to run for their lives. "Are you guys ready to run." Jak shrugged his shoulders and Daxter had a worried face not looking for danger as usual. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be." Was Jak's only reply. Once they got in Chris stammered over to the Spiked Tank and began looking and touching it. "Chris don't touch that!" Aubrey yelled at her. "Why nothings going to happen." She gave it a good smack and suddenly the alarms went off. "Let's move!" Jak began running and so did the girls. They kept dodging bullets from everywhere. Chris was almost dead if it wasn't for Jak. She couldn't get up to the catwalk beyond those crates. "Thanks." Chris was blushing now. Jak could only smile at the blonde. "No problem." Aubrey looked back at them and had a slight feeling of jealousy. "Can you two keep moving." The two then came over to Aubrey as she looked at the rotating tables
"Our best bet is to destroy those electric bulbs so it can open the door." Just then the Tank crashed through the wall searching for the four. "I think you guys should get moving." Daxter yelled so the three adventurers could hear. "Yeah let's move." Jak then got onto the tables and began to knock out those sets as Aubrey and Christian went on to the next. "Sew what we can do when we work as a team." Chris cheered as she high-fives Jak. All Aubrey did was walk past Chris as she tried to give her a high-five. "Dude Aubrey what's your problem." Chris questioned her. "Nothing." She snapped. "Let's just keep moving." Jak looked at her facial expression he knew something was bothering her, but what?
As they made their way past the barragesof KG they came upon a large room filled with crates - The Ammo Dump. Over there, a card is found near the entrance. Daxter then noticed what it was. "Cool! That's a security pass. We need those to get through city check points!" Then... the sound of a clank and a bunch of footsteps are heard. Jak told use to 'Shhh.' So we got down to the floor to watch what was going on. They look down to see two guards coming towards a pair of Metal Heads on the floor beneath. "These barrels are the latest shipment of Eco. The Baron says take them and get out!" The creatures growl at them, but the guards bring out their guns and aim at them. "Metal Heads in the city? Why are the guards giving them Eco?" Jak couldn't believe the situation. "They're probably working along with the Baron." Aubrey said absentmindedly. Jak just shook his head in agreement.
Then the sound of a whir is heard. The security tank comes back into view. They dodge the shots, which hit the cooling tower. "Jak we have to hit these." Chris screamed to Jak as she was about to get hit, but dodged the bullet. "Aubrey. Where are you?" Chris looked everywhere and saw Aubrey waiting at the for Jak to finish the last one. Once theywere finished they run towards the exit of the building. Due to the blast, they are sent into a roof Daxter landed first with Aubrey and Jak and Christian landed on top of them. Christian sits up rubbing her head when almost immediately, Jak sits up from his position and kisses Chris! Aubrey watches in shock as Daxter pops his head out from underneath her. "This place has too much excitement. We need to move back to the country!" Aubrey then got up fast and started heading back to the Underground. "Aubrey! Wait!" Chris got up from Jak and ran for Aubrey. "Wait! I didn't mean for this to happen." She walked fast and stopped her. "Yes you did!" Chris couldn't believe she was fighting with her best friend...over a boy. A game character at that. "No I didn't. Yeah I like Jak, but not as much as you do." Aubrey couldn't even talk any more she headed straight for the hideout again. "Aubrey stop!" Chris was on the verge of cry. Aubrey could hear it her voice. "I don't care about him Okay. If it means we can't be best friends I don't want to like him." Jak couldn't help, but over hear the conversation. Aubrey was sorry now. She hugged Christian tight and started to cry with her. "I'm sorry I got angry. I couldn't help it. I really do like him." Chris couldn't help, but nod. At this time the the citizens were starting to crowd the streets. Jak came from his cover and started walking towards the underground.
"C'mon. I'm sure Torn has another mission for us." Chris nodded again at Aubrey and she walked towards the Underground behind Jak. "The 'demolition duo' and girls has returned! One barbecued ammo dump served up hot!"
"We saw something odd while torching that ammo. The Baron's guards were giving barrels filled with eco to a group of Metal Heads!" Torn looked surprised. "Really! The Shadow will be interested to hear that." Daxter couldn't help, but say something. "You know, so far your gigs have been easier than stealin' grass from a sleeping yakow."
"Hee hee hee... You, the girls, and the rodent want to start proving yourselves? One of our 'suppliers' needs his payment delivered - a bag of Eco ore. Take the zoomer parked out back and drive it to the Hip Hog Heaven saloon in South Town. Ask for Krew - he'll be there. And don't let the Baron's patrols stop you. By the way, when you get there, pump Krew for information. He's wired into the city and may know what the Baron is up to." As he speaks, he turns his back to the four. "You can count on us!" Daxter tells Torn. "Are you still here?" Chris turns to Aubrey and Jak. "I think I'm going to stay here. My thigh is starting to hurt again." She sits on the bed and pulls up her pant leg to see the whole reopened and bleeding.
Aubrey and Jak soon left and got on the zoomer with the red Eco ore package on it. Jak pushed the gas and zoomed through the streets. "Sooo...I overheard you and Chris talking." Aubrey was stunned she didn't know what to say. "Quite frankly I'm touched." You could hear the smirk in his voice and all Aubrey could do was blush. "I that a blush I see, Aubrey?" Daxter began to smirk as well. She could only look up when she noticed a huge block-aide by the Krimzon Guards. "Jak look out!" She yelled. Jak quickly dodged them and sped even more. Once they got to the Hip Hog Jak got off the zoomer and helped Aubrey off. "Thanks." She said, but was greeted by warm lips as a 'your welcome'. Jak finally let go and walked in while leaving the sweet and innocent Aubrey baffled.
"Let me handle this, Jak. Watch my finesse and style!" Daxter got off his shoulder. "Don't forget to ask about..." Daxter waved him off as Aubrey came into the bar. "Every thing's cool. Nobody panic." Daxter then head towards a muscular figure wearing lots of clothing and with grey armor. "Hey, big guy!" Then... into his view, an obese figure flying on a green cushion-like machine comes down towards him. "You Krew? Well we shook the heat, and your shipment's in primo condition." Daxter gave an OK sign and Jak looked to his side and saw Aubrey frowning. Maybe she didn't like that he kissed. But she did say that she liked him. What was wrong? "That's good 'ey, because a cargo of rare Eco ore is worth more than ten of your lives, mmmm and of course, I'd be forced to collect... ah slowly. Heh heh. The Underground will take anyone with a pulse these days." His attention is brought to Jak as he speaks, and then it is brought back to Daxter.
"And what do we have here? The Shadow's mascot of the month? And his cheerleader?" He then starts to stroke Daxter's fur. Oooh, soft... Sig, this fur would go well with my silk suits, ey?" He turned around to question Sig. "Listen, ah, tons of fun, anyone can see that you, uh, and I have the real juice in this burg. We're both players, right? We're both looking for a piece of the action, right? I think we can do business, right?" Jak grew even angrier. "We did you a favor, now it's our turn. Why is the Baron giving Eco to Metal Heads?" Krew retaliated and Jak cringed a little. "Questions like that could get a person killed 'ey! Sig, pay 'el Capitan' here and his friends a bonus." The man, being Sig, gives Jak the Scatter Gun. "What about me?" Aubrey says. "Girls are made for cleaning and entertainment." Was Krew's answer. She couldn't help, but get angry with him. "If you want to see what that baby can do, try the Gun Course outside. Show me some skill with that hardware, and I'll hire you for a job or two 'ey." Before she could say anything Jak pulled her by the collar and dragged her to the Gun Course.
"That fat ass blob. Girls are only made for cleaning and entertainment my ass. Who the hell does he think he is? He couldn't even get 'entertainment' if he wanted to." Jak couldn't help but smirk at her.'She was kind of cute when she's angry' Jak thought. "Maybe that's what he thinks. Me personally, I don't think that. Women are good for other purposes too." Aubrey agreed with him, but Daxter got the wrong idea. "Whoa Jak that is nasty. I never thought you would stoop that low to say that." Daxter turned around with disgust as Aubrey and Jak looked at each other confused. "Daxter I wasn't talking about that, If I now you. I was talking about fighting and working along side of the men." Daxter just turned around and eased his face. "I knew that." Jak rolled his eyes and went inside the course. Once Jak was finished he gave the gun to Aubrey who took it and went threw the course. Once she finished her score actually beat Jak's by two thousand points.
"Where did you learn to shoot?" Jak asked as they walked back to the Hip Hog. She thought for a second not wanting to tell about Earth, so she made up a lie about her dad being in the Krimzon Guards when he has really working as a Policemen. "My dad worked in the KG. On the weekends he would let me shoot and do all types of stuff with me." She couldn't help, but remember her dad. He died in the line of fire, he was the only one at the scene of the crime, when some drunk driver with a gun kept randomly shooting people for fun, he also had five other men with him. "But my dad died when I was ten. Some group of punks shot him when he was alone. About six other people died too. I miss him so much. He wasn't like other KGs'. He was actually good and not corrupt and money-hungry. He actually cared about his family." Jak felt sorry for her and so did Daxter. He didn't know what it was, but he felt a connection with her. Like he would be able to trust her no matter what. "I'm sorry to hear." Was all he could say. "Don't worry about it. I've gotten over it. It still pops up in my head sometimes, but I try to move on. Anyways were here."
By the time they went in and Aubrey was still looking sad. Jak noticed and was about to do something to help it. "Excellent shooting, Jak! Ever thought about being a wastelander, mmmmm?"
"Can't say that I have. Wait! Before you say anything else, I want you to give Aubrey a gun." Krew's liked at her, and she was surprised as well. "For what?" Krew questioned. "She's a good shooter. She beat my score. So if you think I'm good than she's even better." Krew snarled at her a snapped his fingers towards Sig, who gave her a
Scatter Gun. "Anyways...Wastelanders find items outside the city walls, 'ey. Any artifact or weapon worth having comes through MY hands. Work for me and I'll throw you some of the sweeter items your way, hmmm." Jak began to twirl his goatee. "Kill Metal Heads. Get toys? Sounds good to me." Daxter couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Slow down, Jak and the fat man; you two had better run that by me again, 'cause there's NO WAY I'm going outside the city to face more Metal Heads!" Krew moved so that Sig could be seenand Aubrey joined Jak and Daxter. "Sig will show you the ropes." Krew then flies away to the side, leaving Sig to approach them both. "So YOU two wanna be wastelanders, huh doughboys? And girls? Well we'll see what you're made of when we get out in the thick. Krew wants some new trophies to put butts in chairs at the Hip Hog. So I'm gonna bag him five nasty Metal Heads at the Pumping Station." Daxter gulps at this point.
"Don't wet your fur, chili pepper, cause we're rollin' with the Peace Maker!" Sig then shows the trio a staff-like weapon with a bright yellow light on top of it. Aubrey and Jak smirked at each other. "Woooooh, I need one of those! Where'd you get it?" Aubrey couldn't help, but grin at Daxter. "Don't ask. Sig needs someone to watch his back while he tracks the Metal Heads, 'ey?" He agreed with Krew. "We'll meet at the Pumping Station. Listen Cherries, don't you leave me dangling in the wind out there!" Jak finally said something. "Let's do it."
Once the trio leaves for the Pumping Station Aubrey finally asks the dreaded question. "Jak...why did you kiss me?" Daxter's ears couldn't help but prick up as he awaited his buddy's answer. "Well...I kissed you...because..." Aubrey tried to wait patiently. So she led him on. "Because what?" Jak gave up he had to tell her how he felt about her. "Its because I...like you and I think I'm on the verge of loving you." Aubrey was taken back a bit, but kept her composure. "You like me?" Jak answered. "Yeah...I'm mean if you think about it. Have you ever really told anybody that story about your dad?" Aubrey knew the answer. "No. Only Chris knows. Everyone else could give two shits about my or anyone elses problems." Aubrey told him. "I don't know it just feels like I can trust you."
"Same here." Jak spoke up.
"Really. You trust me." Jak nodded his head. "We've been 'together' for two years in the damn prison. Of course I trust you. You understood me when no one else would." Jak was about to pour his heart out, but the arrived at their destination.
"Hello Cherries. Ready to hunt a few Metal Heads? Follow me, stick close and watch my six. It's gonna be fun!" And they begin to take down the Metal Heads and Aubrey stays close to Jak. Once the get up on the ledge Sig aims his Peace Maker towards a tank blocking their path. He launches a shot ahead of it, causing it to explode, leaving a shocked facial expression for Daxter as he turns to his partners. Two Metal Heads are in front of them and Jak takes out the first leaving Aubrey with the second. Once they move forward Jak lowers the bridge and they make their way across. Jakand Aubrey defend Sig as he launches his weapon at the first Metal-Head in sight. He brings his hand into a thumb up gesture, and as it falls off the cliff, he brings it into a thumbs down pose timed to the fall.
Up ahead was a swarm of Metal Heads. Jak turned into his Dark form as Aubrey and Sig took them out with their guns. Once they finished them Jak calmed down and began to lower the next bridge Sig then takes down the second Metal-Head and as it is shot down and falls, Sig waves at it with his index and middle fingers. The third Metal-Head is hit and falls towards a metal platform. Once it gets there, it rebounds and hits the water. Then Sig shoots the fourth Metal-Head it's struck down and it falls towards the water.
Just as they were going to take down the final Metal Head, Sig's gun is stuck. "Cherries, cover me. My gun is stuck!" Jak and Aubrey began to shoot all the Metal Heads once they were all gone. Sig's peacemaker is back on line. But One of the Metal Heads lash out and attack Aubrey. She's cut in the leg making a medium-sized gash to her right leg. "AAAHHHHH!" Jak hears her scream and goes over to her. He sees the huge cut. The Metal Head then circles around Aubrey and Jak does te same. Just then Sig fires at the Metal Head as it pounces on Jak. "BOOM! Home Team: 5, Metal Heads: Nothin'. That was the last one. Tell Krew we got 'em all cooked and caned. I'm gonna clean Peace Maker and pick up the trophies. Ya did good, rookie." Sig tells Jak, but that doesn't stop his gaze from leaving Aubrey. Her leg was bloody and she was in pain. She had never felt anything like that before. Jak just couldn't believe his eyes. "You should bring her home to get it fixed." Sig told him, Jak nodded and Daxter jumped on his shoulders and he picked Aubrey up bridal style.
Once at the underground he put her on the bed. Chris was in shock and so was Torn. "What the hell happened?" As he looked at Aubrey. "A Metal Head snuck up on her and did this." Jak then ripped open her pant leg more so he could see the whole thing. "She needs to be treated now." Chris went to go get the packages of green eco. You could hear Aubrey whimpering in pain which only made Jak even more sorry. Sorry that the fact is he didn't save her. He was supposed to protect her and he failed. Chris came back with the green Eco and began to nurture the wound. "Everything is going to be okay Brie." She said to the black hair girl to try and calm her down. "Ouch...son of a bitch that hurt!" She tried to con seal the pain, but she couldn't. Once she was treated she fell asleep immediately. Jak went over to her bed and just laid next to her.
He soon fell asleep by her side.
Me: I think this chapter went exceptionaly well. I can't believe Chris and Aubrey were fighting over a boy. Eveyone knows Jak is mine. Haha. Anyway Rate & Reveiew!
