GRR finally that stupid line works (the one below me). For a while my computer made a pop up that kept on saying "error" and wouldn't put the line up. Anywayz, I put in ANOTHER OC charactor in here. Well, you are only introduced to 'em. Not a lot of fluff in this one. (Ur thinking: FINALLY)

By the way, the drink names I just made up randomly. Since this isn't Earth, the sodas have to be different, lol

Derrick is back in this chapter.

Only Jak and the Doctor knew. He had decided to keep it a secret from everybody, including me, until my upcoming birthday bash at Spargus. Dumbly, he had forgotten how long I was, so he went back to the Doctor and asked. "Oh, about.." He said, looking through his charts while fiddling with his reading glasses. "A day. Just conceived, mainly." Jak was caught up in thought, but still attentive. He nodded, "Thanks. Oh, and can you keep the expectancy between you and me? I want to surprise her on her birthday."

The doctor smiled. "Not a problem." As the doctor walked off, Ashlin had 2 bottles of soda hanging from both of her hands. "Here." She said quietly, handing out his Gugi drink.

"Thanks Ashlin." He said, a little shaky. Ashlin sensed the tension in Jak's voice.

"Is something wrong? I can't help but see you seem.. Exited about something?"

Jak blinked, "Everything's perfectly normal, Ashlin. Don't worry about anything." She shrugged, turning away, "If you say so." He took in a big breath, and exhaled following Ashlin into the room. Daxter was sitting above my head, playing with my bangs, making goofy hair styles. Tess was helping along with him, giggling. Torn was just reading a book, until Ashlin landed his soda infront of the page he was reading. He looked up at her with a straight face.

"Thanks, sweetheart." He murmured, as she sat next to him. Jak sat next to me, and swatted Daxter and Tess off, fixing my hair. Keira came out of knowhere, infront of the entrance. She caught all of our attention, except me because I was like... Asleep.

"I heard she was hurt."

"Yeah. She fell several feet on a mission I gave her." Torn commented. He looked down, wrapping his arm around Ashlin's shoulders.

"I feel like it's my fault she's this way right now."

To Jak's surprise, Keira walked over, and looked at me. "She's lucky." She said softly. Jak stroked my hair, and nodded. "Yeah. She's not dead for that part." Keira looked at Jak.

"Not that. She's lucky to have you." That caused him to look at her blankly. Daxter's ears twitched. "I've given up on you, Jak. It's alright." He rose his eyebrow.

"Really?"

She nodded. "There you are" Someone said behind us all. A man was at the door. He was about 5 " 10, with Krimson tattoos all over his face. Obviously a retired KG soldier. His slick black hair was tied in a small pony tail. Keira smiled, turning to him. As the man came toward her, she gave him a gentile hug.

"Jak, this is my boyfriend, Bernie." Jak looked up at him, and smiled weakly. "Hi, Bernie." Bernie looked at Jak funny, and pointed, "Don't I remember you from somewhere?"

That statement gave Jak memories of when he was in prison, and guards constantly taunting him. "Uh.. No." He said quickly, hiding his face for a little with the collar from his jacket. Bernie shrugged, and looked at Keira.

"I only came here to leave a get well card." She said, taking it out of her pocket and placing it on the desk infront of my bed. A nurse came up from behind us. "Excuse me? Visiting hours are over." She stated. Everybody looked at her, and Jak nodded. They all left, with me alone in the room.

Later on that day, Derrick drove on the racing track in the desert on the Tough Puppy that Kleiver let him borrow, with a price of course. He had to clean all of the vehicles weekly, on top of that, repair them. At the same time while he was just cruising on the track, he just pondered to himself quietly.

"Derrick! Park your little ass on the beginning of the track. I want you to challenge a friend of mine to a little race." Kleiver barked on his communicator.

"Mother f-"

The sound of the engine of his vehicle increasing in speed drowned out the rest of what he was saying. He did as he was told. Jak and Daxter arrived in the garage after he had ordered the boy what to do.. Kleiver had sent out for them. "I want you to test out my new assistant that works here. He sometimes brags that he's almost as good as you. I want you to prove him wrong. This kid is just driving me crazy."

"Alright, but what do we get in return if we win?" Jak sighed. He felt like doing anything that would keep him from thinking about me for a little while. Kleiver frowned.

"You want something, eh? 6 orbs do the trick and will fit your fancy, mate."

Daxter looked at the Sand Shark, and smirked.

"10!" He spat.

"Don't push it, over-grown rat! 6 orbs is my final offer. If my friend wins, you owe me 6 orbs." Kleiver barked. "6 will be fine." Jak said, glaring at Daxter. "The boy's outside right now. Go to the track, and you'll find the lad." He said, leaning on the Dune Hopper. Jak hopped into the Sand Shark, and Daxter sat in the back.

"I hate gambling. You almost lost me once!" Daxter complained. Jak ignored his friend as he started the vehicle. The doors opened, and his vehicle's motor rumbled, coming alive. He drove out in fast speed, jumping out into the desert, putting his goggles on and his scarf to protect his eyes and mouth.

Soon after, he spotted Derrick's vehicle. Once he got there, he stopped right next to him, still not seeing who it was. He took off his goggles, and turned to face his component. He took off his scarf showing his surprised look. Derrick boredly glanced over relaxed in his chair with his arms crossed, looking at Jak. Once he recognized him, he put his head up, staring at him.

"Derrick?"

Derrick took off his black scarf.

"Jak?"

Daxter finally noticed what was going on, and looked at Jak. "Who?" He asked, not knowing what was going on. He missed the whole thing, because he was with Tess at the Naughty Ottsil when it happened. Jak turned to Daxter. "This kid saved my life not too long ago. Remember when I was telling you about when I fell out of the air when my light eco powers ran out?" Daxter nodded. "This is the kid who save my life!" Daxter looked at Derrick, then back at his friend.

"Oh."

He blinked, and quickly turned back to the kid, then back at Jak, over and over a couple times. His eye twitched. He couldn't help but noticed the little similarities.

"Dax?" Jak interrupted Daxter's thoughts.

"Huh?"

"Never mind." Jak sighed. Derrick put his hand on the wheel, with his eyes on Jak. "Are we going to race or what?" He asked flatly as he started his engine. "Right." Jak said sounding serious, starting his engine. "Three! Two! One! GO! Haha!" Derrick screamed smirking, as both racers blasted off with dust behind their tracks.
