Jack wrapped his arms around Jamie.

"It's okay Jamie. Now... can you teach me how these contraptions work?" Jack looked at the kitchen in utter confusion. Jamie smiled a little. It helped, knowing Jack had once been a big brother too and knew some of what he felt.

"Yeah." Jamie is patient as he takes out some eggs and bacon. Adding salt and pepper to the eggs in small amounts of flavor. Jack looked over Jamie's shoulder as he watched Jamie cook.

"It's just like hot summer days when we got the eggs and they would splat and cook on the ground!" He said, explaining part of his old life. Jamie chuckled.

"It usually doesn't get that hot anymore. Plus it's not thought to be healthy to cook on the ground like that.

"But it was still good." Jack breathed, the memory playing in his mind's eye. Jamie nodded thoughtfully.

"What was it like back then?" Jack shook his head.

"What?" He looked at Jamie, confused.

"When you were alive... do you remember?"

"Oh, yeah... I remember." Memories played in his mind.

"Life wasn't happy then... we were mostly starving and poor. no time to play, mostly hunting for food and finding ways to survive the harsh winters. Except I brought fun and warmth to the children even back then."

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" Jamie asked with a bit of a knowing smile. Jack blushed furiously.

"It's nothing... really... to say the least life back then wasn't fun." He lay back in the nearest chair, closing his eyes as the memory of many harsh winters came through. Jack huffed in frustration as his mind caught on the winter he'd died, that one always hurt but he also felt better knowing he'd saved her.

"Something tells me you made it fun. I think had I been born back then, I'd have wanted you around for sure." Jamie said without too much thought as he set the eggs and bacon on two plates; setting one in front of Jack.

"Yeah..." His voice sounded far away and his eyes were a little glazed from the memories. Jamie lightly nudged him as he settled next to him at the table before he set into his own breakfast. Jack shook his head at the nudge.

"Oh, sorry. Just got lost in memories." He ate the breakfast slowly. Jamie just nodded in understanding. It was an easy thing to do for anyone; he didn't say anything about it all really as he ate. Jack finished the meal with a smile.

"You're a real good cook Jamie." Jamie flushed a little.

"Eh... I'm okay I guess, that was easy to cook. My mom is better at it."

"Nah, you're the best cook ever to me." Jack stood up, happiness sent a little over the bond. Jamie flushed in a mix of embarrassment and pleasure, both of which trickled along the bond they seemed to have. Jamie couldn't explain the bond; in fact he'd sort of knowing it was there since he first saw Jack, but that didn't mean he knew how it was possible. After all, he'd always known when Jack was near. Jack chuckled, brushing hair out of Jamie's face, kissing him.

"What would you like to do today Jamie?" Jamie returned the kiss before replying.

"I'd say getting out of here before North comes to the same conclusion Bunny did. Some how I can't say I want to have to face Santa when he finds out..."

"Okay then, where to?" Jack asked with a chuckle.

"I donno, just... let's leave here before he talks to Bunny."

"Okay then." Jack picked up Jamie bridal style before flying off through the window with Jamie giggling.

"Look at us... sneaking out. We're a couple of rascals aren't we." Jack chuckles then smiles.

"Let's got to... I know! Let's go to Scotland." He snickers a little, flying with Jamie in his arms towards Scotland. Jamie giggles, snuggling close happily; enjoying the view around him. Jack smiled.

"Oi, it's not the same as it used to be lad." Jack said, looking around as he lowered to the ground.

"There used to be more green and lush environment." Jack said in a scottish accent. Jamie giggled at that, looking at the land below; Jack smiled as he took them by a man playing bagpipes, he snickered as the man was on an island near a lake. He smiled, handing Jamie a snowball.

"Will you do the honors of putting the mighty beast to rest?" Jamie grinned.

"With pleasure." He didn't like the instrument anymore than Jack did, taking only a moment to aim before letting the snowball fly. The man was fine, but in shock as the snowball smashed into his face and he fell into the water.

"Hey, wanna meet nessie? She's a good friend." Jamie turned from the man to stare at Jack, eyes wide.

"You mean it's real too?"

"Yes, just like Pogo. Pogo is Nessie's white water cousin and of course there are mermaids, bigfoot... the chupacabra... we'll investigate him later." Jack chuckled then smiled.

"Don't worry, I know somewhere around here who has the power to give us underwater swimming abilities without worrying about a lack of oxygen."

"That's reassuring." Jamie said, waiting to see where Jack was taking him and who it was who would allow them to swim under water... then he wondered if Jack would be okay with it. He hadn't forgotten what Jack had once told him about how he'd died. Jack flew into the center of the town and landed.

"Shh." A ball of fur suddenly tackled Jack to the ground, he laughed.

"Lisa." He grumbled as a rabbit smaller than Bunny but still fairly large pulled itself off Jack.

"Jamie I'd like you to meet the second to last Pooka in the entire galaxy." Jamie stared.

"Wait... so Bunny isn't alone?"

"No..." Jack rubbed his neck.

"Probably should have told him he wasn't alone but see she doesn't trust anyone else but me." She looked at Jamie expectantly.

"Oh, you got yourself a man Jack, how cute the lass is." Jack chuckled, blushing blue. Jamie can't say he blamed her on a lack of trust but he frowns,

"I'm not a lass." He didn't speak the native language, but that didn't mean he didn't know the simple difference between a lad and a lass. She chuckled.

"Well he sure has fire in him don't he lad?" She said, emphasising 'lad' to indicate that Jack was the dominate one in the relationship; Jack blushed a darker blue.

"Anyways, we need swimming abilities to breathe under water to meet nessie." She chuckles.

"Oh, okay." Jamie raised an eyebrow at that, not sure if he should be offended or not at what the Pooka was or was not implying. She chuckled.

"Hold out your hands please." Jack smiled, doing so; Jamie wasn't sure about this but he did as the Pooka said. She smiled.

"No need to be shy lad." She said gently as her paws glowed blue over both their palms and the two glowed blue as the power was pushed into their palms.

"Now, just jump in and it should take effect." Jamie was hardly shy, just cautious... Jamie looked at himself in mild curiosity once the blue glow had faded, then up at Jack; since he knew where they were going and Jamie didn't. Though she couldn't keep from thinking that the glow of magic he'd seen really brought out the blue in Jack's eyes... Jack smiled.

"After you." He pointed to the water.

"Don't worry, I'll jump in right after you."

"I'm not worried about the water." Which was true, Jamie was actually concerned about Jack in this. Jack huffed.

"Don't worry about me, I'm basically traveling in a bubble, which always happens when I travel down there." Jamie hopped into the water. He wasn't about to discuss his concerns to a Pooka who may or may not have insulted him just moments before. Jamie was still concerned as he waited in the water for Jack, looking about beneath the water as he did. It was a little weird, standing under water and being able to breathe like normal. Jack closed his eyes, shaking.

"Anything for you, Jamie." He murmured to himself and jumped in. Darkness met him and he had to count to ten before opening his eyes. He swam next to Jamie, hugging the other close to him.

"Alright, let's get going." He talked as easily beneath the water as if on land. Jamie stayed close, much as he was excited to meet the loch ness monster, he was concerned about Jack and hoped that this didn't disturb his fri- er... bro- nope... that didn't fit anymore either. He tried not to blush, remembering last night made them lovers; he did not mind one bit at that though, but he wasn't exactly used to it either. At least not enough to not blush a little as Jack led the way.

"Alright, if you have a phone on you keep it in your pocket. No cameras, no journals, nothing." Jack said. Last time he'd been here he'd gotten a bite to prove that she didn't like flash photography. Jamie chuckled a little at that. He'd never had a phone, let alone one that had a camera in it... and his journal was at the North Pole... still. He needed to remember to retrieve that later...

"I think I'll be alright in that department." Jack laughed a little.

"Okay, also... stay back before I introduce you." Jack floated into the darkness of a cave. First thing that flew out in fear was a great white fish and screaming clams. Big fish. Wait... were those clams ACTUALLY screaming?! Okay... definately not your average place... how had humanity missed the screaming clams when there were so many varied reports on Nessy?
