As the stars entered the night sky, Nacey Rose Cortex was sitting outside of her home. She sipped her tea which sat perfectly in its red tea cup. She was in deep thought, as the tea had gone cold hours before. She didn't even notice it was cold, just held the tea cup in her hands. She didn't even notice that she was being watched by Crash Bandicoot. Crash was being rather quiet, observing Nacey from afar. He couldn't help but notice that her mind was somewhere else, on someone else. 'But it isn't on Neo,' Crash thought, wondering who had Nacey's thoughts tonight. As she finally poured out the ice cold tea, her brown hair blew slightly in the breeze.

"Jorgen..." She barely whispered.


As Nacey walked down the streets of London, she had a slight annoyed look. She couldn't believe that her brother had left London like that. Granted, Jasmine had everything that was coming to her. She deserved it. But it was just in the way he did it. It wasn't like her brother. 'Just what kind of a place did I send him to,' she thought, a bit ticked off. She didn't even notice bumping into one of the local bullies. They were the ones that used to pick on Neo all of the time.

"Hey, you got in my way," the first bully threatened, grabbing her arm hard.

"I did not!" She hissed, aggravated further.

"Hey, that's Neo's sister!" The second bully commented, after seeing her face.

"Ah good old Nacey the punching bag!" The third bully teased.

To that, the entire gang laughed. Nacey said nothing, knowing that it was her own fate. The leader was about to punch Nacey in the face. She braced for impact, closing her eyes instantly. But nothing happened. She opened up one of her eyes, seeing a man her age in front of her. That's when she saw who had saved her. He had a crew cut of blonde hair, blue eyes, had strapping muscles, wearing a white t-shirt that had torn sleeves, tight khakis that were ripped from the knee down, and black military style boots. He had punched the bullies to a frightening pulp. Nacey gulped as she thought, as he looked at her, 'Hope he's friendly.'

"Thank you, for your kindness," she thanked him, a bit nervously.

He looked at her as he nodded and replied, in a thick Austrian accent, "You are quite welcome."

She relaxed a little as she introduced, "I'm Nacey Cortex."

Nacey held out her right hand, expecting a handshake. The man seemed hesitant at first, as if he was mulling something over in his mind. Eventually, he shook her hand.

"I am Jorgen Von Strangle," he told her.

Nacey smiled. She had a feeling that this would be the start of a new friendship.


And it was. For the entire month Jorgen was in London, the two were barely apart. Nacey was having fun, away from her problems. And Jorgen was enjoying being the enforcer everyone hated. Course Jorgen couldn't tell Nacey that he was a fairy. If he did, it would risk everything. Nacey had been harboring her own secret, having discovered that she had magical powers. On the final night of Jorgen's stay, the two decided to attend a formal dance. Jorgen had wore a tuxedo while Nacey wore a slinky yet stunning red dress.

And Jorgen would have been lying to himself if he didn't find her very attractive that night. Nacey felt the same as the two had a whole bunch of fun. Jorgen kissed her on the lips, hard. What he didn't expect was her kissing back.


Nacey sighed at those memories. Course, while she and Jorgen were former lovers, she couldn't escape the feeling that she just belonged in his arms. There was just something about him. Something she couldn't put her finger on.

"Nance?" Crash asked, capturing her attention.

Nacey looked, seeing the evolved bandicoot as she answered, "Hey Crash."

"Are you okay?" He questioned, tilting his head in confusion.

"Yeah, just trying to get old thoughts out of my head," she answered, truthfully. Crash sat with her, looking curious. Nacey couldn't help but smile. She wouldn't deny that Crash reminded her of Neo. "Curious, are we?" She teased.

"Yeah, I am." Crash admitted.

Nacey couldn't help but giggle. She rather liked being around her brother's creation. Though, there were times she missed him. She still did.


Jorgen returned home that day, flopping down on his bed rather hard. His mind was in a million places, mostly on Timmy's case. The others, not so much. He kept repeating the part with Nacey over and over in his head. The whole thing bothered him, sure. But Paradox leaving him with the fact that a non-magical being would be a better fairy commander than him...

"Wait..." Jorgen realized a loud. "If she is a non-magical being then why would she be in Fairy World?" That's when he sat up on his bed and added, "That could mean one of two things. Paradox is playing with me about my relationship with Nance or..."

That's when it dawned on him. Jorgen had kept the whole relationship pretty quiet, since he knew it would be against Da Rules for a fairy to fall in love with a non-magical being.

"...she had magic..." Jorgen breathed.

"About time you figured it out!" Cupid complained, appearing in Jorgen's bedroom.

"AH!" Jorgen yelled, falling out of his bed.

Cupid saw this as he quickly stated, "Sorry..."

Jorgen got to his feet as he started to reply, "If you don't shut up..."

"Well, it was hard trying to keep quiet about the whole relationship," Cupid pointed out.

Jorgen perked up as he questioned, "You lied for me?"

"I won't do it again," Cupid warned. "But this is only to help you get your life together so we can all help Timmy Turner. The end is near."

Jorgen sighed heavily and replied, "I hate when you are right."

"I know," Cupid told him, squealing a bit.


Wishmaker1028: Cupid is evil, guys. Also, the reason Neo is dead is because this takes place after Crash Bandicoot: Rebirth. Since that story is only on Wattpad, I will fill in the details soon. Please read and review! And always think outside of the box!
