A/N: Things have sure been quiet on the JackxCarly front lately, so now that I'm done with Dissolution I decided it was time to update!

"I really hope they get this one right," Jack said for seemingly the twenty-thousandth time. "Because that other one they did had the cheekbones all wrong. Seriously, it was embarrassing for me to look at , and..."

"If you bring up those cheekbones one more time, Jack, I'll slap you," Carly interrupted in faux-sweet tones.

They were at Madame Tussauds of New York for the unveiling of a wax sculpture of Jack. There was already one in the Neo Domino branch, but it had been done back when Jack was under Godwin's control. Carly had never seen the first one for herself, but evidently the cheekbones on it were not up to snuff.

Jack had insisted on bringing Erika with them; he'd even ordered her a custom-made outfit based on his own riding suit for the occasion. Carly was afraid that she'd be too young to understand and get scared, but Jack insisted she'd be fine. Right now, Erika looked a lot more relaxed than Carly felt. She still wasn't quite comfortable with actually being the event as opposed to being the one covering it.

The three of them dutifully posed for pictures both outside and inside the museum. Erika always liked doing this more than either of her parents, since it was a golden opportunity to make funny faces at the camera. Even after Jack picked her up and walked away, she continued to stick her tongue out at the photographers over his shoulder.

It was slow going, but they finally made it to the spot where the unveiling would take place. Carly fervently hoped that Jack wouldn't complain about the result too loudly. But as it turned out, he was well-behaved. Erika, on the other hand, shrieked, "I WANNA SEE!" at ear-splitting volume during the quiet moment right before the cloth was pulled off. Everybody except Carly laughed.

Then, the cloth was dramatically removed, and Carly gasped. She knew that this place could have mixed results at times, but this was definitely one of their better ones. Statue-Jack was standing proudly, his helmet tucked under his arm.

"Not bad," admitted the real Jack. Coming from him, that was the highest praise possible. Then, addressing Erika, he added, "See that? No, you can't touch it."

Erika didn't seem to be fazed at all. Damn it, why was Jack always right about these things?

Jack handed Erika over to Carly while he went to pose for more pictures with his doppelganger. For Carly, this brought back memories of that trouble-making robot, but if Jack had a similar reaction he didn't show it.

"Some day soon, you'll be so famous that you'll have your own statue," he told Carly after he walked back over to her. "And it'll be right next to mine."

Carly blushed a bit.

"I don't think I'll be quite that famous," she muttered.

"Oh, you will be. I promise!" Jack insisted. Carly decided that there was no point in arguing with him.
