Hello people! I present to you all the magical fifth chapter that is WAY over due. But it is here now so I hope that you all enjoy it.

Nothing much else to say so lets get on with it.

Jake sighed to himself as he walked home from school. Chance had told him that morning when he came to pick him up that he wouldn't be able to give him a ride home. Apparently the football team had some sort of pre-game ritual that they did in order to get some good luck. Jake chuckled to himself. He had heard that sports players where superstitious when it was close to game time but he never thought that Chance would be like that. Chance hadn't told him what exactly the team did to get there good luck so for a few minutes Jake entertained himself with ideas of what they could be doing.

A sudden chill ran up Jake's back making his tail stand straight up and his fur stand on end. He looked around his eyes wide trying to find the source of the chill. He was use to the feeling that someone was watching him, what kat didn't feel like that every now and then. But this time it was way more intense. No matter which way he was facing he kept getting the feeling that someone was standing right behind him. When he finally managed to convince himself that he was alone he pulled his bag up further on his shoulder and headed off down the road again.

His cheery mood was now gone and he kept an eye out for anything that looked off. He started to walk faster wanting nothing more then to get home quickly. He never realized how exposed he felt when Chance wasn't around. He hadn't had to worry about anything when the large kat was around and he took comfort in that fact. But now that he was alone he felt like something bad was waiting for him around every corner.

He almost yelled with joy when he saw his house a head of him. He could see that his parents were not home but that didn't bother him. As long as he could get inside and lock the door behind him he was happy. He ran the last few feet to the house and almost broke the door down to get inside. Slamming the door shut behind him Jake let out a sigh as he leaned his head against the cool wood. Making sure to lock both the top and bottom lock Jake rushed up to his room and closed the door behind him.

Leaving his bag by the door Jake almost threw himself onto his bed. A happy groan coming from his mouth as he sank into the soft mattress. Turning onto his side Jake grabbed one of his large pillows and held it close to his chest resting his head on top of it.

"Oh Chance..." He sighed into the pillow.

He felt a small pang of sorrow in his chest which he found odd. He often found himself hugging one of his over stuffed pillows and imagining that there was a large pair of muscular arms wrapped around him holding him protectively, but the act always made him feel slightly better.

'Maybe its because I am so close to you but I know that it won't work.' He thought as he rubbed his face into the pillow.

Opening his eyes he fumbled to pull his cell phone from his pocket. Taking a moment to set the alarm on it for six he placed it on his computer desk before settling back with his arms wrapped tightly around the pillow. Chance's game didn't start until seven which would give him plenty of time to take a nap, shower and then grab a quick bite to eat before heading to the school. He sighed again and closed his eyes burying his face deep into the pillow. An image in his head formed of him laying in the same position, except that it was Chance who he had his arms wrapped around.

A happy smile spread across his face as he let the image grow and he was soon fast asleep dreaming about what he was sure he could never have. It was a little over three hours later when Jake shot up in his bed, his phone ringing loudly as the alarm sounded. With a groan Jake shut the alarm off and stretched his arms and legs as far as they would go.

He jumped out of his bed and started stripping out of his cloths from the day. Grabbing a towel he headed into the bathroom to take a shower. He wasn't planning on taking too long in the shower. It was just to help wake him up and to smell good for when he went out after the game. Once he was alert and his fur was shiny with the water he shut it off and steeped out to dry off. It took him about ten minutes to dry off brush his fur and get on some new cloths. Once he was dressed he opened a drawer in his night stand and pulled out a bottle of cologne that he had gotten from his uncle for his birthday.

Spraying it a few times over his head he let the fine mist fall on him. He preferred to do it this way so that the smell wasn't too strong. Putting the bottle back in its place he grabbed a light jacket and headed out of his room and down the stairs. When he got into the living room he saw his mother and father sitting on the couch watching a movie. His father had his arm around his wife's shoulder and she had her head resting on his chest. They both looked at him as he walked behind the couch.

"Hey Jake." His father said. "What are you all dressed up for?"

"Oh... I am just going to head out and watch the game up at the school." Jake said rubbing the back of his head.

His father laughed which made Jake's ears sag a little.

"Since when do you like football?" He asked.

The question was quickly followed by a groan as his wife jabbed her elbow into his side.

"Don't tease him." She said.

Jake could feel the inside of his ears burning with his embarrassment.

"I... I promised Chance that I would go watch him play." He told them. "After that we where going to go see a movie with some of his friends."

A happy laugh came from his mother as she jumped up from the couch and pulled Jake into a hug.

"Oh Jake I am so happy that you are starting to make friends." She said. "I was starting to worry about how much time you spent by you're self."

"Uh mom, I can't breath." Jake gasped out trying to keep himself from getting crushed by his mother.

"Oh sorry dear." She said pulling away. "Oh you look so cute."

"Oh don't call him 'cute.'" His dad said standing up. "He's a guy. Guys don't look cute."

His mother huffed and looked down at Jake.

"Fine then you look very handsome." She said.

Another groan came from his dad.

"No you don't say that either." He told her.

She turned to glare at her husband.

"Alright then what am I suppose to say?" She asked.

Jake started to slowly move to the front door. He could always get something to eat at the game.

"You're suppose to say he looks 'tight.'" His father said.

It was Jake's turn to groan as his father showed just how out of date he really was. Jake made it to the door and looked back at his parents who where in a pointless conversation about what kids called themselves these days. Deciding not to call attention to himself Jake left the house making sure the door was closed behind him. The cool air blew around him and he couldn't help the smile that came to his face. Even though he didn't like sports he was very excited to get to the game.

Getting to the side walk Jake started to job in the direction of the school. Since he was use to running and jogging he didn't have to worry about sweating unless he started to push himself harder. As he got closer to the school the sound of cheers started to reach his ears. Pulling his phone out of his pocket he gasped at how late it was. Apparently his parents conversation had been longer then he thought. It was almost seven which meant the game would start at any moment. Putting his phone back into his pocket Jake shot off down the road showing just why he was one of the best runners on the track team.

He made it to the bleachers just as the two teams where running onto the field. He stopped by the edge of the metal steps in order to catch his breath. He started to scan through the home team looking for the large form of his friend. He smiled when he saw Chance running onto the field with his helmet off. Apparently he wasn't the only one who had been late. Looking up at the bleachers Jake tried to spot somewhere for him to sit. But both sides where filled to the point were some kats where having to sit on the steps. Letting out a sigh Jake found a soft section of grass and sat down to watch the home team win the coin toss. A moment later the ball was kicked and the game began.

To Jake's amazement he actually enjoyed the game. He found himself cheering when his team got a touchdown and booing whenever a bad call was given. There had been several times when he was worried for Chance, he didn't know how he could keep getting up from all the nasty tackles. There had even been one where he lost his helmet and landed on his head right after. But a moment later he was back on his feet with twice as much energy as he had before.

As the fourth quarter drew closer to its end Jake couldn't sit down any more. He was too nervous. There was thirty seconds left in the game and and the home team needed at least eight points to win. Which meant that they would need a touch down and then run the ball in for an extra two points. It wouldn't have been so bad if there team wasn't at half field and Chance's last few passes where starting to lose there fire.

'He must be beyond tired.' Jake thought to himself.

The teams gathered back on the filed, it was fourth down and it looked like they where going for it. Jake stood in front of the bleachers his teeth digging into his bottom lip. The teams got ready for the play to start. Just before the ball was snapped Chance turned to look at the bleachers and Jake was sure that he was looking right at him. Another shiver went down Jake's back but this one was different from the one he had before. He didn't know why but it felt different.

The ball snapped and Chance started moving back looking for an opening. He dodged a tackle as the clock hit 25 seconds. Dodging another, his eyes locked onto one of his runners who was near the end of the filed. Jake watched as he brought the ball back and launched it as hard as he could down the filed. It spun perfectly though the air and headed right for the sleek runner. Jumping in the air his arms wrapped around the ball and he hit the ground running. As he drew closer to his goal everyone held there breaths as they saw a large Kat get closer to him. If he got tackled no the game was over, if he made it they might have just enough time to score an extra two points and win.

The large kat dove for the others legs. A small pause in the runners movement forced the large body to land on the ground in front of him. Stepping on the back of the downed player the runner used his body as a spring board and jumped into the air. He soared through the air spinning slightly before falling on his back just past the line of the goal. The crowed cheered as the score jumped just a little closer to the other teams.

The clock kept running showing only 15 seconds left. As fast as they could the two teams got back in line. The home team was going for the two points. It was all or nothing for them. The ball snapped again and Chance caught it looking around wildly for someone to throw it too. But everyone was blocked. Jake watched Chance hug the ball to his chest and start running around the pile up trying to get to a hole that would lead right to the two points they needed.

Almost as if they had been expecting the move the hole closed with four massive bodies. The block did nothing to effect Chance's movement. He got as close as he could before bending forward and driving his shoulder right into the center of one of the blockers chest. The force of the impact knocked him off his feet and sent Chance flying over him as the others tried to grab him. Chance landed face first into the dirt and grass just above the downed players head and the rest of his body flipped over.

Everyone who was there was silent for almost a minute waiting to see what came next. Slowly Chance picked himself up and threw his arms in the air still holding the ball. In an instant a wave of cheers ran through the area and could be heard for miles around. The score board flipped its lights showing the new score which put the home team ahead by one point. Jake couldn't help but join in on the celebrating. He shouted and jumped with joy just like the others.

As the losing team walked off the filed all of Chance's team mates gathered around him and lifted him up onto there shoulders. Jake watched Chance rip his helmet off and hold it and the ball up high his face almost split in half by his smile. The crowed began chanting Chance's name as his team carried him off to the school's locker room. Slowly everyone started to leave the area, all of them overly energized from watching the game. Jake also felt more alert and full of more energy then when he had first got there.

As the crowed started to get smaller and smaller Jake began to wonder where he was suppose to go. He wasn't sure if he was suppose to stick around and wait for Chance or if he was suppose to meet him at the theater. It took almost half an hour for everyone to leave. Jake looked around the now empty field and smiled happily.

"I might have to come to more of these things." He said out loud to the empty field.

"Yeah you should." A voice said from behind him.

Jake jumped and spun around his heart beating quickly. He relaxed a little when he saw Chance standing there with a grin on his face.

"You jerk!" Jake said holding his hand over his chest. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

Chance laughed but stopped quickly as his face twisted with pain and he held his ribs. Jake rushed forward a look of worry on his face.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

Chance nodded his head but it took him a moment before he could talk.

"Yeah... yeah I am fine." He grunted. "I am sure its just a broken rib or something."

Jake looked at Chance shock plain on his face. It wasn't until he saw the grin on his face that he realized that he was making a joke. Growling a little Jake punched him lightly in the shoulder.

"That is not funny." He said.

"I thought it was." Chance said holding back a laugh. "Come on, lets get going. The movie starts in half an hour."

Chance started to walk off to the parking lot but his movements where slow and Jake could see him limping. Rushing to his side Jake grabbed one of his arms and pulled it over his shoulder. He heard a sigh come from Chance as he rested some of his weight on him.

"Thanks, although I am pretty sure that I will crush you if I fall over." Chance said as they made there way across the pavement.

Jake laughed and nudged him a little. "Don't worry, I am fast enough so I can move out fro under you and you can fall all by you're self."

The joke made Chance laugh even though he tried not to. When they got to Chance's truck it took him almost five minutes to get in and settled to where he didn't hurt.

"Are you sure that you should be going out the way you are?" Jake asked as he got into the truck. "You can hardly stand."

Chance grunted as he started the truck and put it in drive.

"I'll be fine." He told Jake. "Besides I can always you you as my crutch."

Jake snorted and lowered his ears so that Chance wouldn't see there insides turn red. Jake had enjoyed being that close to Chance, that warmth from the large kat and his unique smell had been more then enough to... stimulate a certain part of his body. Twisting slightly in his seat Jake tried to hide his problem from the other Tom.

With all the traffic from the game it took Chance and Jake almost 20 minutes to get from the school to the theater. They were forced to park in the back lot since the front was full of cars. Jake hurried to get out and rushed over to Chance's side to help him out too. Chance thanked Jake for his help and together they walked around the building so they could get there tickets and get inside.

"Where are we meeting you're friends?" Jake asked once they were inside.

Chance took a moment to look around and grunted when he saw the small group they where meeting. He used the arm that wasn't on Jake's shoulders to point them out.

"There they are." He said.

They made there way slowly over to the group who all turned to face them as they got closer. Jake heard a squeal come from a few of the girls and the two of them where quickly surrounded by them. The girls started to fawn and fight over Chance one of them even tried to push Jake out from under Chance's arm. But Chance gripped Jake tighter and wouldn't let the girl push him aside. It took a few minutes but the girls finally backed off of Chance. They formed a small group a few feet away and started to whisper and giggled to them selves as they admired Chance's back end.

"Well its about time you got you're tail here." One of the guys said to Chance.

"Yeah yeah up yours too Dean." Chance said to the slightly smaller kat.

Dean laughed and tilted his head to the door they where standing in front of.

"Lets get inside before all the good seats are taken." He said. "Shela lets go!"

One of the girls from the group broke away and stood next to Dean. He pulled her close and whispered something in her ear that made her giggle and kiss him on the lips. They headed into the theater and where soon followed by the other guys that where there and the rest of the girls.

"Come on Jake." Chance said. "We need to try and get the end seat."

Jake nodded his head and they made there way inside the already dark theater. It took them a few minutes to find a good seat but the managed to get a few that would fit all of them that had come. Chance and Jake let the others get in first so that they could sit in the seats at the end of the row. Chance saw one of the girls wink at him and gesture to the seat next to hers. Looking down at Jake Chance moved him in front of him so that he could take the empty seat. Once Jake sat down next to the very upset girl Chance eased himself down into the last seat a smile spreading across his face.

"Thanks." He whispered to Jake as what few lights where on shut off.

"You owe me." Jake replied as he lost his arm rest to the angry girl.

The screen lit up and the previews began to play. Jake relaxed into his seat, he tried to pay attention to what was going on in the movie but his mind kept drifting to the large form beside him. About thirty minutes into the movie Jake nudged Chance to get his attention.

"I'll be back." He whispered.

Faster then he could blink Chance grabbed his arm.

"You can't leave." He said. "One of them will take you're seat the minute you get up."

Jake looked at the pleading look on Chance's face. Getting an idea Jake lifted the arm rest that sat between him and Chance.

"When I get up put one of you're feet here." He told him. "That will save my seat."

Chance nodded. "Alright but I don't know if this will work."

Jake stood up and almost had to climb over Chance to get to the steps that would lead down. The second he got up Chance brought his leg up and rested it on Jake's seat. He saw the instant look of disappointment on the girls face at his action and he fought to keep the smile from his face. Jake left the theater and made his way across the lobby to where the bathrooms where. He gasped when he got inside and saw that there was a line for every stall there was. Not wanting to wait Jake left the bathroom and headed to the stairs. He knew that there was a bathroom on the upper level that hardly anyone used.

Getting to the top Jake ran to the door of the bathroom. He sighed in relief when he saw that there was not a single tom inside. Rushing to one of the stalls he quickly did his business. As he was just about to go to the sink to wash up he felt for the third time a shiver crawl up his back. This one was more intense then the one he had on his way back from school. It filled him with dread and a small amount of fear.

"It must be the movie playing with my mind." He said to himself.

Getting to the sink Jake washed his hands and bent lower to wash his face too. After he was done he grabbed a hand full of towels and dried his hands and face. Pulling the towels away from his face he balled them up and turned to throw them in the trash. His eyes got wide and he sucked in a large breath as his eyes fell on the last kat that he ever wanted to see at any time.

"Tank!"

Now now I know what you are all going to say. I am an evil evil guy to leave it like this. And you know what? I am very proud of that fact. ^_^

Now leave a review and make me happy... Pwease.
