Author's Note: Hey guys. Sorry about this. This happened in one of my other stories, too. The second part of the story cut off because it was too long, so I will have to post another part to the story. Well, here it is, part II.

She snapped out of her daydream as she smelled smoke. The engine from the zoomer was burnt out, she fanned it and coughed. She grabbed her wrench and quickly fixed the problem. She sighed and glanced over at the small clock on her workbench.

"Oh Mar! I'm going to be late!" she ran into the house and got ready for her date.

Why do you still linger in my thoughts?

Jak got to the garage an hour after night fell. He peered inside, she wasn't out there. He considered turning around, but he decided against it. He walked up to the door inside, and knocked three times. No answer. He knocked again. He was starting to feel stupid, coming all the way over here and disturbing this woman he just barely met today.

He turned away, and started to walk back outside, but he remembered his drive to find Keira. He turned around and marched back up to the door. He rapped his knuckles on the wood again. No answer. He banged once in frustration and slumped against the door. It came open and he stumbled inside. He stood back up and tried to see through the darkness. No use.

He groped for a light switch on the walls. His fingers ran across one, and he flipped it. The eco lighting flickered on and he looked around. He turned around and closed the door. He moved over to the kitchen.

"Man, I shouldn't be in here…" he said out loud. He looked at the refrigerator. It had pictures of zoomers, races, trophies, and a town. It looked so familiar…

"Oh my god… it's Sandover! Keira?" Jak exclaimed. It was adrawn picture of a little girl with green eyes and blue-green hair. There was a green finger sticking over the picture, Samos. "She is Keira…"

He felt a tear slide down his cheek and he quickly wiped it away. He looked at the other pictures. They were all of Keira growing up; then he saw one of himself, Keira, and Daxter in a picture. He remembered this one. It was in Sentiniel Beach, in front of the temples. He smiled at it and took it to the couch. He sat down and gazed at it.

He and Keira were holding hands, and Daxter was in mid yell at them for it. He lay down on the couch and held the picture out in front of him. He fell asleep with a tear creeping down his cheek.

You're here, Keira… you'll be here with me soon.

It was very romantic. Errol had set up a candlelight dinner up here for them, and then music and a view afterwards.

Now Keira was sitting with Errol, her hand in his, and they were gazing out over the lit city.

"Do you like your surprise?" Errol asked.

"Very much so. Thank you Errol." Keira said.

"My pleasure, as always." he replied.

They sat in silence while enjoying the breeze that lingered by.

"Keira?"

"Yes?"

"Have you ever considered marriage?" he asked.

She took a moment of silence to think her answer over.

"Yes and no." she replied.

"How so?"

"I've never really found the right guy. I guess I never really considered it an option for me."

He was silent for a few moments.

"Keira?"

"Yes Errol?"

"Stand and close your eyes, ok?"

She did without question, she trusted him.

She heard him shifting around.

"Alright, open them."

She opened her eyes and gasped at the sight she saw. Errol was on one knee down in front of her with another black box in front of him. He reached up and took her hand.

"Keira?"

She felt a tear roll down her cheek; she knew what was coming.

"Will you marry me?"

When Keira got home she was thoroughly tired. She searched for her keys, found them, and pulled them out. She went to unlock the door, but found it already open. She hesitantly pushed it open. She automatically knew where the light was, and she switched it on. She let out a little shriek.

There was a strange man lying on her couch. She cautiously approached him, readying herself to strike or run if necessary. Upon closer examination, she realized…no, it couldn't be...

"Jak?" she shakily asked. He was curled up, sleeping, with a picture of hers. She saw it was the one of Jak, her, and Daxter. It must be you, then!

"Jak!" she yelled excitedly as she hurried over to him. He shifted a little. She knelt down by him and looked closely at his face. She started to stroke his cheek, tears running down her face. Jak's eyes fluttered open and he gazed ahead at Keira.

"You're here…" he whispered. She nodded at him as she cried. Suddenly she threw her arms around him and sobbed into his shirt.

"Jak, I've missed you so much, I was lost without you, it's been horrible here with you gone…"

He hugged her back. She shivered in his arms. He pulled her into his lap and held her.

In you and I there's a new land,

{Angels in flight}

My sanctuary,

My sanctuary, yeah

Where fears and lies melt away

{Music inside}

What's left of me

What's left of me now

"Jak, where were you?" Keira asked.

"I was in prison. They, they tortured me Keira. I have this thing, it's inside of me." he clutched her closer. "I'm scared Keira. I'm scared of it…"

She reached up and stroked his face, looking into his eyes.

"Oh Jak…I'm so sorry" she sympathized. "I promise, if there's a way I can help you, I swear, I will."

She buried her head into his chest and he rested his chin in her hair.

"All along, we're right here, next to each other…" Keira said into his chest.

"I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner, I should've looked harder, should've done something..." Jak whispered. Keira looked up at him.

"Jak, this isn't your fault. None of this is your fault. This screwed up city isn't your fault, don't ever think that, ok?"

He looked down into her fierce green eyes, and nodded. She leaned against him again.

In you and I there's a new land,

{Angels in flight}

My sanctuary,

My sanctuary, yeah

Where fears and lies melt away

{Music inside}

What's left of me

What's left of me

You show me how to see,

That nothing is whole and nothing is broken

"I never want this moment to end." Keira whispered.

"Neither do I."

They paused, taking in the bliss of the moment.

"Let's stay here forever." he said.

Keira was silent. Jak looked down and saw her sleeping. He put his arms under her back and legs, and stood. He carried her to her bedroom, took her shoes off, and set her on the bed. He removed his armor, boots, and guns and crawled in next to her. He gazed at her tenderly.

I watch you fast asleep,

All I fear means nothing

She stirred awake and crawled closer to him. She put her head and hand on his chest and he put his arm around her.

"Jak?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you for holding me all of those nights where I needed you."

"You don't need to thank me, I would do that anytime for you." Jak whispered.

She nodded. Suddenly she leaned over him and gazed into his eyes, seeming to search for something. She looked away and sat up strait.

"Jak…" Keira whispered.

He sat up also, a look of concern on his face.

"What is it Keira?"

"A man I've been seeing asked me to marry him today." she still wouldn't face him. Jak felt a horrible feeling of panic and fear rise inside of him.

"What did you say?" he asked after what seemed like a lifetime.

"I feel so horrible."

"Why?" he asked, horrified of what her answer might be.

My heart's a battleground

She finally met his eyes and stroked his cheek.

"Because I almost said yes."

He smiled the purest, happiest smile he had since Sandover, since last seeing her. He looked into her emerald eyes and leaned in towards her. Her face neared his, and they closed their eyes, their lips a breath away from each other. They collided together with all the years of wanting, needing, love and passion, sealed away in dreams. He reached up and stroked her cheek, wiped away the tears that ran down from her eyes. They parted and looked at each other.

They both lay back down as they were before. He tangled his fingers in hers. She planted a tender kiss onto his neck.

In you and I there's a new land

{Angels in flight}

My sanctuary,

My sanctuary, yeah

Where fears and lies melt away

{Music inside}

What's left of me

What's left of me now

"I saved that kiss for you Jak, I love you." Keira whispered.

Their eyes closed and they both drifted off into sleep.

Jak had no nightmares about Keira that night, or ever again.

My fears, my lies

Melt away...

"I've always loved you, Keira."

Author's Note: Sorry, that had only a little lovey stuff, and a lot of boring plotty stuff. But I hope you liked it anyways. The first song was "Cure My Tragedy (A Letter To God)" by Cold. The second was "Sanctuary" by Utada Hikaru (the lyrics are exact, but the order is switched up a bit).

REVIEW PLEASE, JUST ONE KIND WORD MAKES MY DAY PEOPLE!
