Me: *smiles waving* hey all! Soooo…Keira came back last time on Confused Heart and Tuff Friendships but did she come back as Kida's friend?

Audience: *claps smiling*

Me: *shrugs* We'll have to see in this chapter on Hosting the story won't we!

Audience: *nods smiling*

Me: *laughs* So I, Niomi, do not own Jak and Daxter the game or any of its characters at all. Only my characters are mine.

Audience: *cheers as music starts*

Me: So let's see!

Keira hugged me tightly and I literally just stood there staring at her, "Um…" She pulled away and kneeled down to Daxter, smiling excitedly.

"I never thought I'd get to see your faces again! And Jak-!" She looked at Jak said male and her smiled dropped a little, "-you look…different."

Jak looked away, "It's been a tough ride."

Daxter rolled his eyes as I put a hand on Jak's shoulder.

"The Baron pumped our boy here full of Dark Eco and it did something to him. Now he's got super moves or something," he said waving his hands around. He leaned in putting his hand to his mouth, "And a few anger issues as well."

I rolled my eyes.

"It's good to see you, Keira," Jak said after a moment. I looked over at him and recognized that look immediately. Looking at Keira I mentally sighed but said nothing.

Keira smiled gently at him with a nod, "Same here. I've missed you guys." She looked at me suddenly and her eyes flashed with worry.

"Kida, are you okay?" I sighed leaning on the stand behind me as she walked over to me.

"I have a slight fever," I mumbled. She put a hand on my head and then looked me over.

"You look different too." I nodded and motioned to her with a smirk.

"You look the same. Lucky you," I claimed smiling. Keira frowned looking away from me to Jak.

"Why isn't she at the doctor? It's not safe if she's sick. Her immune system can't take it." The worry tone in her voice brought back memories and Jak looked at me with a soft sigh.

"She won't listen to anyone. She has been sick for a couple of days," he said. I sighed deeply, waving my hand some.

"I'll be fine." Looking at Keira I nodded my head, standing up straight, "What have you been up to these past two years? We've been looking everywhere for you." Keira looked at all of us.

"I've been looking everywhere for you guys too. Well and coming up with a way to get us back home," she said, pulling back the green curtain. I crossed my arms.

"So that's what that thing was," I said smiling.

She nodded, "Somehow that Rift took us far into the future. I've calculated the time displacement and I think I've figured-"

"We found your father." We all looked at Jak who rubbed the back of his neck some and then looked at her again. I put a hand on my hip looking to the side.

"Well…sort of," I said slowly. Daxter put his fists up.

"He's working with The Underground, fighting The Baron," he said punching air. I nodded and looked at Jak for words.

"But he's um…" I trailed off and Keira looked at us confused.

"What?" Jak shook his head.

"You need to go see him," he stated. I nodded and stood next to him.

"And we need to get to The Baron," I pressed, looking at her. She nodded, looking at the trophies on the metal case and motioned to it easily.

"You could try to win the Class One Racing Championship. The winner of that big race always gets to meet The Baron in the palace." She looked over at me with a nod as I shifted and she shrugged, "But you have to qualify by winning the lower class races."

I nodded grinning, "There's a class three race starting soon right? Can we drive for your team?"

Keira nodded easily and then looked at me and Jak.

"Sure! You both could race for my team. That way if one of you lose, you still have a good chance at getting in the palace," she said. I nodded, excited to be able to race again, and Keira took off her helmet, walking over to the stand.

"But we should think about getting out of here. I don't like this place. And some of the people are creepy," she said looking at me.

I nodded, "I hear ya. There's the big slimy guy named-"

"Jak, my boy."

I turned around at the sound of a voice and grimaced seeing Krew float in, "Speak of the devil."

Keira moved behind me as I shifted defensively and Krew looked at me before looking back at Jak.

"I need that key you found, eh. A special kind has requested it," he said. Jak nodded and pulled the ruby key from his pocket.

"Sorry about that Krew. I…must have forgotten," he said chuckling. He tossed the key over at him and Krew just looked at him.

"Right," he said, catching the key. He smiled before taking his leave. I sighed, running my fingers through my hair, and turn to Keira.

"When can we race? I really need to get some speed off," I said shaking my head. She smiled and looked at the clock.

"The race is gonna start in ten minutes. Now that I have two racers I can enter you guys in. Just follow the arrows to the other side of the building and you can race," she said walking over to the table.

Jak and I nodded and Daxter landed on my shoulder.

"This will be fun!" he said. I nodded grinning and Jak looked at Keira.

"Do you have communicators for me and Kida?" he asked. She nodded handing us both one.

"Now get going! If you don't hurry you can't race!" she said smiling.

I nodded, running behind Jak.

"Good luck!" she yelled.

I jumped on the Zoomer right next to Jak. There was a guy with black hair next to me and he wolf whistled. I rolled my eyes and put my hair up in a high pony tail looking over at Jak again as he smirked at me.

"Do you really think you can do this?" he asked over the loud yelling of the crowd and the other racers.

I nodded and pulled my red goggles on. I put the radio in my ear so I could hear Jak and the mouth piece stopped at the corner of my mouth.

"I can handle myself. Its yourself you need to worry about. All these big boys out here could get to you, Jak," I said raising an eyebrow.

The man next to Jak winked at me.

"You can go home with me after I pass the finish line, girly," he said smirking. The one next to me nodded.

"Yeah this isn't really a girl sport anyways," he said chuckling. The one in front of me turned around.

"Are you ready to roll with the big boys?" he asked as the lights started turning. I put my hands on the handles.

"Whenever you are, babe," I cooed watching the light turn yellow. I looked at Jak and blew him a kiss and he shook his head smiling.

"You just love to make me jealous. But you won't beat me here," he said through the radio.

"Let's race," I said as the light turned green.

I flew over head over the man in front of me and took off down the track. I heard cussing and cheering behind me causing me to laugh. I felt adrenaline go through me as I went faster, not even thinking about my sickness.

"Damn, Kida! Where the hell did you learn to race?" Jak yelled at me through the radio. I laughed moving to the left to avoid the giant pit that was there.

"Practice, love," I said smirking.

Jak chuckled, "I'm gonna catch up. Just wait."

I nodded looking behind me to see everyone but Jak behind me.

"I don't know. You look like you're in dead last," I said, moving as the racer beside me tried to hit my Zoomer.

I glared at him and kicked his bike causing him to lose control and crash.

"Asshole," I mumbled. Jak chuckled.

"So I'm guessing the racer that just disappeared was your doing?" he asked. I nodded knowing he couldn't see me.

"Yeah. See you at the finish line!" I said cutting off. I went faster as I entered the tunnel. I kept my speed up before breaking quickly seeing an edge.

"Damn!"

The Zoomer flipped sideways on air as I went towards the lava. I pulled my weight to the right and flipped back over, spinning a few times before I even gained control again. I flew forwards, looking down at my panel to see I was in fourth now.

"Ah man!" I whined going faster. I passed third place and grinned as they were disqualified for shooting first place. I stayed in third place for a while getting more and more frustrated.

All three of us turned the corner, coming out of the tunnel and the one in second place crashed, putting me in his place. I shook my head as the man in front of me looked over his shoulder with a smirk. He winked at me and I finger waved.

He zoomed off and I followed close behind. My green eyes slid to the left and I gasped as Jak came from the short cut out of the side of the wall, landing next to the man in front of me, throwing him off by surprise.

"What the hell!" he yelled losing control. He yelled out as he spun and flipped backward, crashing badly. I went wide eyed, ducking as he went over my head and into the lava. I snapped my attention forward and Jak smirked turning back forward.

"What the hell, Jak? You could've killed me!" I yelled as we passed the finish line for the last lap.

"You have fast reflexes," he replied through the radio. I smiled some.

"Okay well it's just us and two others. Can you beat me?" He nodded from in front of me as if he were one hundred percent sure about that.

"Yeah. What happeneds when I do win?" he questioned. He was defiantly implying some there. I shrugged going through the tunnels.

"Oh oh! She's yours! All night!" Daxter yelled. I glared at the orange Ottsel from behind.

"Daxter shut up or I'll-!"

"And if she wins?" Jak said, cutting me off.

"Then it's the same thing only…Jak has to stay home all day and night!" Dax said, hitting him in the head.

I grinned with a nod, "Deal!" Jak shook his head.

"Fine," he grumbled.

We kicked it up a notched right after that. In the tunnels we were cutting each other off and setting traps. I rode on the wall of the tunnel until we started coming towards the end before I flipped and landed next to Jak, a few feet away.

"It's almost there," I said smiling. He nodded smirking at me and I looked behind me to see the other racers going faster.

I saluted at Jak, "Gotta jet!"

I swerved in front of him before going left to right then straight shot. Air pushed off from behind me, giving me a boost and I crossed the finish line with a laugh and a bet I just won.

I climbed off my Zoomer and caught the trophy that was thrown at me and smiled over at Jak. He was glaring at me of course and shook his head walking over to me.

"You cheated," he said as I handed him the trophy. I shook my head and put a hand on my hip.

"I'm the sick one and I beat you. Don't get mad," I said. I smiled and walked around him slowly.

"Now…about that bet," I started slowly. Daxter jumped off his shoulder with the trophy and ran causing Jak to groan.

I stopped in front of him and patted his cheek.

"Tomorrow you stay home all day….and I own you tomorrow night," I said walking away. He shook his head watching me and I turned to him when I got to the door.

I stopped at the door to the arena and turned to him. My hair was in my face some as I asked the question that was probing my mind the whole race.

"Jak…are you going to tell Keira about us or am I?"

Me: *grins* So Kida has a lot to deal with! She won the race and bet so she owns Jak the whole day! Then she's worried about the Keira deal. Hmmm….tough for her.

Audience: *agrees*

Me: *smiles* Well we'll find out what happeneds! If you review and guess then I'll write and tell! Until next time on…
