GG's Lullaby
Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I don't own Jet Set Radio.
It had been about two hours since Yoyo and Boogie had returned from the fortified residential zone, but no one had yet to try and talk to Yoyo. No one was really too sure on how to go about talking to the kid without him running away from them. Everyone was talking to each other to see if they could come up with something, but so far they had not come up with any good ideas. Jazz however was not paying the least bit of attention to the conversation. She was too busy watching Yoyo play with Potts to really know what the rest of the gang was talking about. After watching Yoyo for about a total of five minutes she turned and looked at Corn.
"Didn't we buy a bunch of dog toys for Potts?" Jazz asked. Corn blinked before saying "Yes we did, they are in a bag on the kitchen table. Why do you ask?" Jazz just gave a small smile before saying "Oh, I think I have an idea on how I can get to know Yoyo that's all." Jazz skated over to the door that leads to the huge motel-like building that the GG's lived in before she looked over at Boogie. "Boogie can you go and hang out with Yoyo? It would help me a lot if you are there when I introduce myself to him." Boogie nodded before she skated over to Yoyo. Once Boogie was next to Yoyo, she sat down beside him and watched him play with Potts. Jazz smiled before she went into the building, only to come back out three minutes later with the bag full of dog toys in her hand. She skated over to where Yoyo and Boogie where sitting before she called Yoyo's name.
Yoyo, who had been so busy with Potts to even notice what was going on around him jumped up onto his feet and quickly looked over at Jazz. Yoyo looked at her for about two minutes before he made an attempt to get away from her. Before Yoyo could run for the hills however, Boogie stood up and grabbed Yoyo's shoulder. Yoyo looked at Boogie, only to have her smile at him and say "It's ok, she is a friend of mine. She won't hurt you I promise." Yoyo nodded slightly before he hid behind Boogie and peeked over her shoulder to look at Jazz. Jazz only smiled at him before she said in a soft tone "Hey there Yoyo, my name is Jazz and I just joined the GG's not too long ago." Jazz then held up the bag that she was carrying so that Yoyo could see it. "This is for you, but you have to stop hiding behind Boogie if you want me to give this to you."
After five minutes had passed, Yoyo finally came out from his hiding spot behind Boogie. He stopped in front of Boogie, almost as if he was unsure if it was ok for him to go to Jazz. Boogie gave him a little push forward and said "Go on Yoyo, she won't bite." Boogie was seriously starting to feel like a mother with her shy son. Yoyo skated toward Jazz slowly until he was finally standing in front of Jazz. Jazz smiled and gave him the bag "Go on look inside." Jazz said. Yoyo looked inside the bag and smiled as he pulled out a yellow bouncy ball and threw it to Potts. Potts jumped up into the air and caught the ball before he bought it over to Yoyo dropped it at his feet. Yoyo smiled as he pulled out a squeaky chew toy that was in the shape of a bone. Potts took the toy from Yoyo and started to chew on it, which caused the whole Garage to be filled with the loud sound of squeaking within a matter of seconds. Yoyo ended up taking out a bag of dog treats, a couple more squeaky toys, and few other dog toys from the bag that Jazz had given him.
Yoyo placed all of these things next to Potts' cage before he skated over to Jazz and gave her a small hug. Jazz was surprised by the hug, but she ended up hugging the boy back. Yoyo broke the hug and looked at Jazz with a smile on his face. "I think the hug was Yoyo's way of saying thank you." Boogie said, only to have Yoyo nod to show that what Boogie had said was true. Jazz scratched the back of her head and looked over at the rest of the gang before saying "It's no big deal, besides it was Beat who was saying that we should get some things for Potts. I didn't really do anything but give Potts' new toys to you…." Jazz then looked over at the small dog who was still chewing away on his new toy before she looked over at Yoyo.
"I did teach Potts some new tricks, want to see them?" Jazz asked. Yoyo nodded and allowed Jazz to grab his hand and drag him over to where Potts was. As the two of them played with Potts, Boogie made her way over to the rest of the gang. "Who knew Jazz would be over to win over Yoyo's trust by doing something as small as giving him some toys for the dog." Clutch said once Boogie had gotten to where they were standing. "I can't say that I'm all that surprised. Yoyo loves Potts, so is it all that surprising that Jazz could use the dog to show the kid that she means no harm?" Combo asked.
Everyone was quite for a moment before a small smile broke out on Cube's face. "I think I may have a idea on how we can show Yoyo that we won't hurt him." she said as she turned to look at everyone. "What kind of idea?" Rhyth asked. "Well, what if everyday one person from the gang would hang out Yoyo for the whole entire day. Maybe if he gets to know us one by one it will help him get over his fear of us." Cube answered. "Are you sure that your idea is going to work?" Garam asked in a rather skeptical sounding voice. "Well, do you have any bright ideas?" Cube asked. Garam was quite for a moment before he shook his head no. "Well, it looks like we are going to have to go with Cube's idea for now." Corn said. Beat then looked at Corn and said "Ok, so we have a plan but I want to know one thing. Who will Yoyo hang out with first?" Everyone looked at each other with rather blank faces. That was a good question that Beat just asked. Just who would Yoyo hang out with first?
Ok, so that's chapter three. So who will Yoyo hang out with first? Well, your find out in the next chapter. Please review and don't flame.
