Me: Well here is chapter five. I'm going to 'try' and put out two chapters at a time. So when I'm on vacation or sick or for whatever reason lazy. You guys will have enough chapters to be satisfied.

Aubrey: Good, because I am really ready to give Keira a price of my mind.

Me: All in due time Aubrey, That chapter is coming up later. Let's say Class 2 Championship race.

Aubrey: *Evil smirk* Perfect...

Jak: *Stares at Aubrey and evilness* Oooookayy...On with the Show.

Isn't Love Grand?

Houston...We Have A Problem

The next morning in the Underground Hideout was quite peaceful. Everyone was asleep and dreaming their own dreams. No one dare to have a nightmare for messing up their perfect worlds. All was calm until Tess began to contemplate on her next mission that Torn had given her. Tess began to pace the floor on how she would learn of Krew's secrets to the city and in which would aid the underground. Aubrey saw this and awoke. "Tess what are you doing?" Aubrey sat up in her bed slowly and rubbed one of her eyes. "I'm thinking of how I can get information from Krew without being suspicious." She walked over to the Black haired girls bed and sat on the edge. Aubrey thought for a second until she remembered when Daxter was trying to hit on her. She was a bartender for crying out loud. "Maybe be you she be a bartender. That way whatever goes on you'll be able to hear everything." Tess nodded in agreement. "As long as you don't get caught listening. Maybe you could pretend to sweep the floor or wipe down the tables." Tess got up from the bed. "Thanks Aubrey. I thought for sure I wasn't going to be able to come up with anything." With that she left leaving Aubrey to think for herself.

She then turned to Chris who was sleeping well with Daxter at the foot of her bed curled in a ball and then she turned...to Jak. He was sleeping in the bunk next to her. He looked really peaceful when he was asleep. His eyes showed no sign of anger or happiness. Aubrey could only smile and walk over to his bed. She sat down softly and began to run her fingers through his hair taking in the scene she was given. Everything was still in the Underground, it seemed as if time had froze just for that moment. Chris and Jak began to stir, but only Chris stayed sleep. Jak woke up. His eyes met Aubrey's and stayed there. They then began to wonder slowly over her body taking in her glorious figure. Subconsciously Jak's hands began to move on their own. Aubrey's mind acted as well as she leaned in for a kiss. Jak followed and their lips met. It was different then before. It seemed more gentle than anything she had ever felt. Aubrey's body worked it's way on top of Jak's and his hand found their way to her hips as they were still in their kiss.

Then it grew furious. Aubrey's shirt came of reveling a blue laced bra. Jak's shirt came off as well showing his hard earned abs of steel. They continued to kiss until..."Ahem." They shot a look to Chris' bed only to find the two of them starring and grinning. Aubrey's cheeks were burning and Jak's cheeks also turned a deep red. "You two weren't planning on getting frisky in front of us were you?" Daxter said jokingly to the couple. Jak gave an annoyed sigh. "No we weren't Dax."Jak moved Aubrey off of him and gave her a quick kiss and got up from the bed, and turned to Daxter. "C'mon and get dressed. Where heading over to Krew." Jak looked back at Aubrey. "Vin said he wanted to see you and Chris. Something about the Drill Platform and eggs." Aubrey nodded and went over to Chris' bed to wake her up. "Chris...Chris...Chris wake up!" Aubrey yelled, but there was no sign of hope. Finally Aubrey decided on what to do. She would finally get a chance to flip Chris off...the mattress of course.

Aubrey got into position and just as she was about to do it. Chris lept on to her knocking Aubrey on the floor and a triaumphant Christian looked down at her. Aubrey could only look at her in shock as to what just happened. "Aubrey you never win at that. Evey time you try I always come out on top." Aubrey just rolled her eyes as Chris helped her up. "Don't worry Brie. You'll get me some day." Chris walked off so she could get ready to meet Vin. Aubrey walked back to her bed and began to think again. 'I wonder what happened when Jak went to go see 'Keria'. He probably acted to same way in the cut scene. I just hope he won't have second thoughts about me when he finally does see Keira. I really hope he doesn't. I love him so much...' Just
as she started to get deeper in her thoughts Jak and Daxter came out of the back to head to the Hip Hog. "Hey Aubrey, are you gonna be okay." Aubrey starred at him. "Yeah yeah I'll be fine. It's just Vin." Jak and Daxter looked at each other. "Vin is a sack of nerves, it would be best you watch out before he tries to shoot you in mistake of a Metal Head!" Daxter began to remember yesterday's event and warned Aubrey. She could only laugh. "Alright I guess we'll see you later." Jak began to walk towards the door until Aubrey came running after him and jumped on him and kissed a deep and passionate kiss. Jak looked stunned, but he still liked it. "What was that for?" Jak asked. "I...just...I love you." Aubrey studdered Jak could only smile and kiss her back. "I love you too." Jak hugged her and walked out leaving Aubrey to herself once again.

The girls then left for the Power station. On their way their they were planning on how to scare the mess out of Vin. All of Chris' ideas were to extreme, yet all of Aubrey's ideas were like childs play. Until they both came up with a simple plan. "I've got it! I'll pretend their is a Metal Head behind him just like Daxter did in the game, but when he turns around you'll be behind him when he turns around to look and flare you arms out like you are a Metal Head. Alright." Chris nodded. "This is gonna be so cool. I just hope he doesn't try to blast me." Chris said.

They walked in casually, nothing out of the blue. "Hey Vin, what's up." Aubrey greeted him. "Nothing much. Metal heads are still trying to break through the city walls." He began smashing buttons as Chris got into place. "Vin...THERE'S A METAL HEAD BEHIND YOU!" When Aubrey screamed this, Vin turned around to see a scary looking Chris flared up as a Metal Head. Vin sank to the floor and got angry quick. "Not funny! Those Metal Heads have been attacking our mining operations and we're running out of Eco! Eco power keeps the city shield walls up,
and if the shield drops... well, we can all kiss our butts goodbye!" Vin shook his, but and Chris just chuckled. "Don't worry. We can handle a few Metal Heads." Chris assured him. "You've got to keep the shield walls up until the Shadow figures out what to do." Vin turned to his machine. "My readings show a drop in Eco flow at the Drill Platform. Probably some Metal Head eggs draining away power." Chris looked bored, but kept that on the down low, Aubrey was the only one listening intently. "So, use the Warp Gate to go to the platform and destroy every Metal Head egg you can find." Aubrey and Chris run to the Warp Gate as they jump in for their first adventure together.

"I hope Aubrey and Chris are okay." Jak said as they made their way past Krimzon Guards trying to collect money for Krew. "I'm sure their fine Jak. I swear you've been worried alot about Aubrey. Jak haven't I taught you anything is that you should never fall for a dame. You should at least get with five girls before you choose the one." Jak just rolled his eyes at his ottsel friend. They picked up the tenth money drop-off. "Daxter don't give me that. You seem a little pleased with Tess back at the bar. I'm sure she'll be the one." It took Daxter some time to respond. "Maybe. She is hot. And she also digs my moves. She like silly putty in my hands." Daxter began to dream only to have Jak roll his eyes again. "But Daxter I think I have a delimea." Daxter's ears perked up. "What if we find Keira. Remember the mechanic, she sounds an awful lot like her. I used to have a crush on her, but know that I'm with Aubrey I don't know where me and Keira's relationship is going. I hope we can still be friends,b ut knowing Keira she'll probably get..."

"Jealous." Daxter finished his sentence. Jak could only think. "Well buddy I only have one thing to say. If Keira and Aubrey ever get in a Cat Fight. I'll be right there with white shirts and a camera." Jak rolled his eyes again. In no way did he answer the question to his problems. 'I guess I'll just have to see how things play out.' Jak picked up the final bag and headed back to the Hip Hog.

"Hey Aubrey. Remember to shoot every egg!" Chris yelled so that Aubrey could hear over the gun shots being made. Chris held off the Metal Heads while Aubrey tried to focus on the last set of eggs. "Alright Aubrey last set and then we can go home." Aubrey said to herself. Once she finished the last group she shot the tower so that it would make a walkway for them to go home. "This game so much easier playing it with just your thumbs." Chris complained. "But it's so much more excitement playing it for real." They began to walk across the fallen tower to the Warp Gate. Then it began to collapse. "Run!" They sprinted towards the Gate and jumped in. As they landed in the Power Station Vin was still at his regular spot. "Don't you ever send us back there. We almost died trying to get to the gate." Aubrey told Vin. "Hey Chris you wanna go check on Jak and Daxter?" She waited for an answer, but there wasn't one. "Chris where are y...CHRIS!" Aubrey rushed to her side. "Aubrey...I need my medicine...I think my Asthma is acting up...when we were...running...my chest started to...tighten up." Chris tried her best to sound audible. "Vin! Where is Onin? If I don't get Chris to her she'll die." Tears began to pour down Aubrey's face. "She's in the Bazaar. I hear Jak is on his way too.

Aubrey picked Chris up and rushed outside to find a zoomer. Chris had trouble getting on the one seated zoomer and her breathing became heavy. Aubrey zoomed past everyone nearly hitting a Krimzon Gaurd, but she wouldn't care aslong as she got Chris to Onin. Once she rounded the corner she saw Jak and Daxter walking towards the tent. "Jak, Daxter!" Aubrey yelled. They both turned around to see Aubrey carrying an almost limp Chris. "Aubrey what happened?" Jak asked. Aubrey looked at Chris. "I'll tel you later. We have to get Chris to see Onin." Once they entered the tent, Onin in her usual spot and Pecker hanging from wood. "Coooool! Check out all the dead stuff." Daxter pokes a nearby
monkey-parrot hanging on a rope, who slaps him back. "Onin. Please, wake up. My friend needs your help." Onin's eyes opened showing nothing but white. Pecker suddenly flew to Onin and sat on top of her hat.

"I am Pecker! Yes, yes, I know, my mother, she was... very vindictive. I am Onin's interpreter." The woman, being Onin, gives out various hand gestures and magical blue auras around her. "Onin welcomes you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... the usual boring salutations..." Aubrey grew annoyed and Jak could see it. "Okay okay. My friend needs a treatment I don't know what kind, but if she doesn't get treated she'll die." Aubrey looked back down at Chris. Her breathing was getting better but it was still heavy. "Onin says to put her down in front of her and she will heal her. Once Aubrey did this Chris' breathing began to grow normal slowly. "It will take some time. She has a problem that is not from this world." Aubrey and Jak looked shocked. Well mostly Jak. Aubrey tried to keep the Earth business from him, but it would probably soon be told. She just had to give him time.

While Onin was working on Chris, Pecker gave Jak the run down on the Precursor items to open the Tomb of Mar. Once Chris was finished on they began to walk towards Haven Forest for the missing pieces. "Are you okay Chris?" Jak asked. "Yeah. I feel a whole lot better. Whatever Onin did, did the trick." Chris began to think and whispered something in Aubery's ear. "Don't you think we should tell Jak about Earth?" Aubrey hesitated but replied. "Not until I'm ready. I want to do it at the right time." Chris nodded and stopped. "Hey guys, I think I should head back to the Underground." Jak and Aubrey looked at her. "Why?" Aubrey asked. "Because I don't want my problem slowing you guys down. Don't worry I'll be fine." Chris said good-bye and headed back to the Hideout leaving Aubrey, Jak, and Daxter alone. They walked up the ramp and waited for the door to open. Once it did it revealed a Warp Gate next a cliff. Aubrey cauitiously walked over to it. "Whoa. That's a long drop." Jak jokingly bumped into her which made Aubrey scared. "Don't do that! I could have fallen!" Jak could only smirk. "But you didn't." Aubrey just rolled her eyes and jumped into the Warp Gate after Jak.

When Chris left she actually went back to Onin. There she saw Pecker waiting eagerly for something. "Ah Chris just in time. Onin wanted to see you and Aubrey, but I can see she's not here." Chris knew what this would be about. It was probably something about returning to Earth, but who knew. "Onin says that you and your friend are not from this world." I guess I stand corrected. "She says you and Aubrey should not be included in this world's events. Anything you do could alter the future of the city's freedom." Right now Chris was looking shameful.

Aubrey and Jak were already together, but it should be Keira and Jak. Big mistake. "Well...Aubrey and Jak..." She couldn't even tell Onin their problem. If Aubrey knew they had to break up. She would never forgive herself. "Jak and Aubrey should not be in a relationship." Chris froze. "Their relationship now should be broken. He was meant for Keira." Chris couldn't help it, she broke down. She couldn't break them up. Damn it, she told Aubrey this would happen and now it's actually happening. She had to do something and quick. "I can't do that. They both love each other. It's like trying to pull a three year old from his favorite blanket, it just can't be done." Chris argued back at them. "But if it doesn't the world could have dire consequences." She gave up. He was right. But there is a possibility that Aubrey and Jak together could make him stronger than Keira could, thus helping defeat the Metal Head leader with ease.

"Alright fine. I'll do it." She looked down. "Thank you Chris. You don't know how much your decision right know will affect the world." Chris started for the door. "I know." Chris walked out with a smile on her face. "Suckers." She whisper softly and headed back to the Underground Hideout.

Me: Okay I know short chapter, but I promise the next will be spectacular. Up next Aubrey tells Jak the truth, but will he take it well or just think she's a spy working for the Baron. Find out on the next Chapter of Isn't Love Grand?
