HI! Second installment up! Im going to try to update a lot sooner then I usually do, and this will be my main story for the moment, hopefully. Please stick with me
"Nikki? I thought you were in New Haven!" Kiera looked sharply at her father, then back to me. A look of understanding dawned on her face. I was completely and utterly confused, but I knew 'New Haven' was in the third game, and I didn't understand how I would be associated with someone from there.
"Excuse me?"
"Oh, never you mind. I thought you, uhh, looked like someone else. What brings you here, child?" He went from confused to professional in a matter of seconds, that takes skill.
"Hello," I started tentatively, "I'm Madison," I thought using my formal name would be more appropriate for the time being. For one short second I saw some emotion on Samos' face: regret. I could've been imagining things, but it didn't feel like it. "My dad's ship crashed and I must've landed here." I tried to make my horribly bad lying skills more believable. This just wasn't going to work.
"How about you go get cleaned up, no offense, but you look a mess." Kiera was suddenly extremely cheerful and helpful.
"Umm, OK, thanks. Is there . . ?" I trailed off, hoping she would get what I had meant. 'How am I going to ask her? Oh! What if she doesn't? There's like three guys here!" I risked a glance over at Jak, and saw him doubled over, clutching his chest with silent laughter, while a confused Daxter patted his back.
Oh no, so he can read my thoughts now, too. That's never good; to have a stranger you don't even know be able to read your thoughts. That would be awkward even if it was with someone you did know.
"There will be everything you need." She answered back with a knowing wink.
"Thank you. Everyone. For taking in a complete stranger like me." And with that, I walked off, after seeing Kiera point in the direction of the bathroom for me.
O.o.O
Right before getting in the shower I glanced at myself in the reflection of the mirror, and stopped dead in my tracks. What had before been a head-full of uncooperative curly mousey brown hair was now hair that was beautifully cascading down my back in perfect waves. The colour was changed a bit. From normal brown, it was now a shining chestnut with black and red highlights through it. The next thing I noticed was the shape of my body, which was currently hugged by a fluffy white towel. Before I had been quite small and undeveloped for a normal sixteen year old, now I had curves that would make a guy pant. They were in all the right places, and my breasts had even been pushed up and filled out a bit more, making me look, for use of a better word, hot. The most shocking thing I noticed was my eyes. Whereas before they had been a boring grayish blue, now they were a stormy, intelligent gray. It was like a dark gray with black rings around it. They looked intense. I would've killed for those eyes in the real world.
The real world. How I missed it now. I had to find my way back. Before I had just been running on pure adrenaline, like a robot on oil. Now that the adrenaline had run out I really began to think about my predicament. How did I get here? It's not possible. I know I was not dreaming, though. Everything was too vivid. I just had a feeling.
This was real, and somehow I had fallen into the life of a video-game character. I wonder if time in my world had just stopped, or if I had just spontaneously gone missing. I wonder if my mom is worried, or if Alli, Kaitlyn, and Casey, my three bestest friends, would miss me at all. It's like every unwanted girl's dreams: would anyone miss me? But, I didn't have an answer.
Suddenly, a voice popped into my head, Jak's. "You're going to be OK, you know."
"Get outta my head! I'm showering!"
"I didn't really get a choice in this either, you know. If I got a choice, I wouldn't have a stranger's voice in my head. But, you're the only person I've ever talked to in my life, so this is nice. Don't ruin it, please."
"Oh, so you're a mute?"
"Yes, I've never spoken a day in my life, I don't think, so this is weird for me."
"Trust me; it's weird for me, too. I don't think I've ever talked to someone in my head before. Actually, scratch that I know I have never spoken to someone telepathically.
"Ok, well can we talk later . . ? I'm a little, umm, busy at the moment."
"Sure. Can you just try to not think so loudly?"
"Ya, I'll try to keep it down." I ended sarcastically.
O.o.O
After I got out of the shower, I noticed my predicament. There were no clothes around. Before stepping in, I had shed my old clothes in Kiera's room before grabbing a towel and stepping down the hall, before anyone else was in the house.
That was before everyone else was in the house. Jak and Daxter's room was right next to Kiera's, and Samos' was at the end of the hall. I knew for a fact that Jak was in his room. I didn't feel very inclined to show off my new found curves to an old man, a strange boy, and his perverted ratish friend.
"Kiera!" I tried quietly yelling, but to no avail. I remember her saying that she was taking the zoomer out for a test drive.
"She's not here."
"Yeah, I noticed. Could you, umm, go get her for me?" I had to admit. This was my last hope, because I didn't feel like walking down the hall in a towel that didn't wrap around me well.
"She's out by rock canyon, that's too far for me, and too dangerous." I could tell her was enjoying this.
"Please?"
"I can bring you something though. I'm sure Kiera wouldn't mind if you borrowed something." Jak said deviously
"Umm. I like green, and black?" I said questioningly.
He didn't answer back
Just when I was starting to get worried, I heard a knock on the door.
"Ok I'm leaving them outside. I'll be leaving now."
"Hey Jak?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
"No problem."
I quickly pulled open the door and slid inside the neat pile of clothes sitting there. I pulled the pieces separate and I turned flaming red when I saw the undergarments Jak had brought me. Just to have him bring me anything like that was so, so, so embarrassing.
Other than that, I didn't have any objections to his other choices. Black capris similar to Kiera's, and a green and black checkered shirt that stopped about midriff.
When my hair was satisfying, where I had to spend ten minutes, one minute was fine, and I was happy, I stepped out.
"Hey, Jak and Daxter went over to the dock, they told me to tell you to meet them over there." Now she decides to show up. "Nice clothes choice."
"Umm, yeah, Jak got it for me." I said while blushing bright red.
"Sorry I wasn't here. Feel free to take anything whenever." She said with a slight grin.
"Alright, thanks. I'll head over there now."
