Pre Jak and Daxter concerning Jak's 9th birthday. It came out as a very long drabble, but I had a lot to say!


Sandover's infamous duo wandered through the Forbidden Jungle at the strange request of the emerald haired boy in the lead. It just so happened to be Jak's ninth birthday, allowing him to drag his best friend in without complaint.

A strange looking rock caught his eye and halted his movement. Daxter, who had been walking on his friend's heels, bumped into his back at the sudden stop, "Oof! Jak, what's the big idea?"

Not unusually, Jak didn't say anything. Instead he silently crept over to the strange lump partially hidden in the grass. The many holes made it obvious it was not a large stone like he first thought.

The red-head popped up beside him, "Hey! That looks like an empty Wumpbee's nest!" Daxter looked to his friend with a mischievous grin, "I dare ya ta touch it."

Jak rolled his eyes with a smirk. Despite him usually being the one to go through with his friend's crazy dares, Daxter still spoke as if challenging a scardy-cat. This time was no different as the boy picked up a long stick.

A loud, angry buzzing filling the air; too bad his assumption had been dead wrong.
