Changes over time

5:55 am Saturday time

Zak was getting excited; when his parents fist told him that Jade and her uncles' were staying with them for a while, he thought 'ok, cool'. But when they mentioned the tropics and fun, he couldn't contain his excitement. He got to go on 'vacation' with Jade! Erhhh the Chan family!

Sure he was a little bummed that Fisk wasn't coming, but since Jade would be with him, at least he wouldn't be alone, plus he was sure he could find plenty to do. He was so thrilled that he couldn't sleep the night they were supposed to arrive, not like he wanted to sleep anyways what with his 'dreams' lately getting more and more vivid every time he closed his eyes.

He tried not to think about it, but that wasn't easy. Ever since him and Jade had that 'talk' he has felt better about it, but ever since then he has also felt that somehow he's become closer to Kur. The dreams, they have been feeling more personal, like he wasn't just watching memories anymore, but living them. And worse of all, he thought he spotted Tarakudo in one of was why he has been avoiding sleep, and kinda glad that Fisk wasn't going to be here. Fisk is like a brother to him, and can always tell when he is lying; he would be too worried about him, and he seemed to be having alot of fun with Toruh, so it would be cool for him to spend time with his new friend.

Zak was happy enough just being with Jade. He was planning on 'talking' to her again sometime soon. He blushed at the thought when he remembered what had crossed his mine the first time. This would technically be a second 'date'. Though obviously not official or anything, but in his head. He knew Jade liked him the same way, he could tell by her reactions to things he did or said, and the way she would look at him when she thought he wasn't looking (granted he did the same thing). They were so natural together, and that's what scares him a little. They were both on equal terms with the darkness stuff, but the closer he gets to Jade, the more he feels like he's ...changing. He couldn't say for sure how, he just feels that something inside him is changing, and he still wasn't sure if its a good or bad thing. He sighed and got up from bed yet again. He decided he would map out all the cool things they could do without getting into too much trouble.

8:25 am Chan time

Jade was glad to have some real fun for once. Jackie was cool and all, but clearly the Saturdays took the award for parents of the century! They were totally awesome in Jades book. Zak also spoke highly of them, which she sort of envied a little, that he had such a cool life and close relationship with his family, when hers won't let her do anything out of the ordinary and her parents don't even know what Jackie does as a side job. He also doesn't trust her as much as Zak's parents trust him, she couldn't help but be a little jealous, but she also had to wonder why. Why were they so much more trusting?

Heck Zak's situation was a lot more screwed up then her's was, so why didn't Jackie trust her? She's been asking herself this question for at least a year now, long before the queen thing happened, and it was bothering her even more since. She knew he loved her and only wanted to keep her safe, but when she wanted to help him he always said no. She knew he needed help and always went anyways, but still.

As she laid in bed, waking up from yet another 'dream' she felt that it was probably best just to rest for a while. She hadn't intended for her thoughts to grow so bitter. But ever since her and Zak's 'talk' a couple days ago, she felt that whenever she was left alone with just her and her thoughts, they always turned sour after a little bit.

'Isn't it supposed to be that if you 'like like' someone that you feel better, like a light is shining brighter or something? Aren't those mushy feelings supposed chase away the darkness?' she thought. She did feel more empowered to fight, but she felt... different. Like she had something inside of her change. She couldn't put her fingure on what it was though. She felt strong and powerful when she was with Zak, like she could handle anything, but she also felt like something in the atmosphere was different whenever she was around Jackie now. It bothered her to no end that she couldn't name what it was.
Even in her dreams something was different now too.

Luckily, Hsi wya was only repeating the same things over and over again, but she felt he was stalling for time now, like he was anticipating something else that he wasn't before. He just seemed much more interested in speeding up the conversation rather then actually caring about what she says or how she reacted anymore. And she felt like she could stay there longer now, before she wakes up, which is also different now because it isn't because of his wind that she does anymore, but because she feels something bad is coming and gets scared by Hsi wya's sudden silence and the darkness starts to actually freak her out, making her feel like she is all alone when she knows that he is there, but something else as well.

It sent chills up her spine knowing that something else had entered the mix. She only takes comfort in the fact that she had a feeling it wasn't going to hurt her, but that same comfort also meant that it was probably going to talk eventually, and she was scared to find out what it was in the shadowrealm that has became interested in her. *knock*knock*knock* Jade jumped at the sudden sound. "Ummm, come in!"

"Oh, good your already awake!" Drew said as she walked over to sit on the end of Jades bed. "I know this might sound strange to ask, but would you like to help me make an extra special breakfast for the boys today?" she asked and smiled when Jade seemed happy that she was actually being requested.

8:05 am Bad guys time

"Oh I love thissss idea!" the snake queen hissed in excitement. "Finally, we will both have what we want and more!" Tarakudo was pleased with the plan, and the fact that he had already set part of it in motion. The children's parents thought they were doing what was right by keeping them together, but in the end, that's what would turn them both. Even if they had kept them apart, lonleness and all of the other dark emotions would eventually overwhelm them both. Either way, the darkness would win.

"Soon, there will be a new King and Queen, and this world will tremble at their feet!" He laughed maliciously. He suddenly got a tingle, and knew it was time to join His wya in the shadowrealm again. He made his far well for the time being to the Naga queen, and went to even further their plans.

9:00 am Girls time

They made strawberry banana waffles and octopus bacon, with some green tea for Uncle and Jackie. While they were making the breakfast Jade was totally happy to be doing the stirring, and cooking the waffles. Drew couldn't see why her uncles keep mentioning about her being so troublesome, sure sometimes she made little messes, and other mistakes, but so did Zak. Its like Toruh said, they are still kids. Adults aren't perfect either, its all about making your own mistakes and learning from them. That's called growing up. And its not really fair to them, because with as much power they both have, even the tiniest of mistakes could cause giant problems. It makes them more responsible for their own actions, but it doesn't mean they were to be treated badly because of them. She still felt ashamed that she even felt that way, about both kids, for a short time. She hasn't known Jade for very long, only on one occasion other then this one had she met her, but she still felt a motherly connection to her, just like Zak. Speaking of which, "So, you and Zak have been getting along quite nicely.

"Any late night espionages I should be aware of?" Drew teased and laughed when Jade froze mid waffle and her face turned bright red. She clearly wasn't used to having an adult tease her about boys.

"NOO! Er... um... maybe..." Drew thought it was absolutely adorable that Jade and Zak were 'an item'. So she was surprised about Jades next comment. "I'm sorry. I know we shouldn't and its weird but...he's the best friend I never had... and well... " "Jade, sweetie," Drew went over to her sad looking companion, " I was teasing you. I'm happy you two like each other, and are together. I'm want both of you to be happy! Plus, as a girl, secret rendezvous and time alone are the best part of being in a relationship; its also the funnest." Jade giggled when Drew mocked ( while telling a story about her and Docs third date) skiing down an exploding volcano and getting a quick kiss in before going off the ledge of a cliff and landing in a large tree, out of harms way, but still not the most graceful landing. She also told about a couple of other 'dates' like the most recent one where she had to pull the airship out of an impossible angle while catching Docs frozen griffin from space, and made it with a few feet to spare. "And he thought he had called the dangerous part!"

Jade had to control herself from laughing too hard, as to not wake up the boys. She admired Drew a lot. She had such a cool life! It made her think of her future self who was head of section 13. Drew was the kind of person that gave Jade hope that life as an adult wouldn't totally reek. Drew could see she had lifted Jades spirits, and that was one of the things that made being a mother worth while, but she had to leave off with a little motherly advise too. "But just to be clear, I'm still a mother, and I want you two to ' try' to stay out of harms way. No ones happy when someone gets hurt. The monks taught me that if you really care about them, you will want them to stay alive." Jade understood what she was saying. After all, she knew of wisdom from monks. But she had to wonder, "Er... how did you and Doc meet? And how did you get into the field you work in now?" They were both wonderful questions, that Drew was happy to answer. "Well, it all started with this crazy giant orange, seven armed rhino..." they kept talking while fixing up some omelets to go with the waffles. Jade was happy when the boys came down and they all enjoyed their homemade breakfast together like one big happy family. Uncle didn't even complain! And Zon loved the ' bacon'. Zak couldn't stop eating the waffles. It was nice. Little did she know that it was the last happy family meal she would enjoy.

As always, the plot thickens...
