DISLCAIMER: I DON'T OWN OR HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE MAKING OF JAK AND DAXTER

Okay, I know you guys are pissed…uh…well I hope this chapter makes up for it…sorry…

Daxter had finally managed to get his pants on and was walking towards the mayor's house. He thought about finally coming home and being away from the horror that would eventually exist in another hundred years. But for now, he thought that being in Sandover was like a dream come true. He then thought about how this project of how they were going to turn Jak back to his old self was going to work out. He was lost in thought and kept walking for another five minutes. Suddenly he smashed into something hard.

"HEY BUDDY, WATCH WHAT YOU'RE CRASHING INTO DOWN HERE!" Daxter looked up and saw it was Jak. "Oh, hey Jak. Why are you standing outside?"

"Geez Dax…you take forever." Jak replied.

"Well, you have to spend a lot of time on yourself if you want to look this good." Daxter struck a pose. "Now answer my question!"

Jak rolled his eyes and then said, "Oh yeah, we have to catch the mayor's bird and put it back in the cage. He's going to give us a power cell in return."

"The mayor hasn't gotten much brighter since we left, I guess. The idiot is always losing things…"

"Daxter! Shhhh…the mayor is right upstairs!" Keira said to Daxter.

"Yeah? Well, I don't care if he hears every word I say be-." Daxter couldn't finish his sentence because Jak had picked up his little partner by the feet and was holding him upside down and looking at him with an amused expression.

"YO JAK! PUT ME DOWN YOU IDIOT!"

"Alright, I'll put you down if you stop yelling and then you help us catch that bird." Jak said, coolly.

"Fine, fine."

"Okay, Daxter. It's still sitting on the windowsill so just sneak up on it and grab it." Said Keira.

"No problem, sister!" Daxter was now free from Jak's grasp and started walking to the window.

Jak had moved from his place in front of the door and stood next to Keira, leaning against the wall. "This will be a good laugh," Jak told the mechanic quietly. Keira giggled.

"Alright, you stupid parrot! Get ready to be caught by The Daxter!" Daxter yelled at the bird. The bird just looked at him, waiting for what Daxter was going to do. Daxter then leapt onto the windowsill and the blue bird easily flew to a shelf across the room. Daxter spent the next fifteen minutes chasing the bird by leaping at different items and proceeding to smash into them stupidly. Finally, he was out of breath and collapsed on the floor.

"Jak….you….try….getting….the…bird….this…is….so…tiring…." Daxter said to Jak between breaths.

Jak chuckled and then looked at Keira who was still giggling.

"What…are you two….laughing…about?" Daxter angrily said.

"Nothing. Now just be quiet and lay there." Jak said.

Jak then walked to the table that the little bird was now on. The bird looked at him, not sensing a threat. Jak just put his pointer finger on the table in front of the bird and waited patiently. The bird then hopped onto Jak's finger and stood there comfortably as Jak walked towards Keira and gently put the bird on her shoulder. The bird looked quite happy as did Keira as she cooed to the little bird. She then held her finger out like Jak did and the bird again hopped onto it. She then tenderly put the bird back in its cage and proceeded to clean up the mess that Daxter had made.

Daxter stood there mouth agape. Then he yelled, "WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHY DID YOU TELL ME TO DO ALL OF THAT AND TIRE MYSELF OUT?"

"For kicks." Jak smirked and Keira started to laugh. Jak then helped Keira with tidying the place. Finally after cleaning, Keira walked upstairs and knocked on the mayor's door. The mayor then opened the door and said to Keira, "Oh, have you caught my bird? Well thank you very much." He then sniffed the air. "What is that dreadful smell?"

"Uh…I think you're smelling Daxter. He's downstairs. He attempted to help catch your bird." Keira replied.

"I might need to spray some air freshener. Alright, well then, a deal is a deal. You have earned your second power cell from me! Just let me go get it. I'll be right back. The three of you can make yourselves at home," said the mayor. He then scurried off to another room.

"Thanks!" Keira called out.

Keira then walked downstairs and told Jak that the mayor would be right back and to wait there. Jak then leaned back against the wall and crossed his arms. Keira then looked at him and blushed. He looked really hot, looking all badass. Keira then tried to focus on something else but found that her eyes couldn't find anything else of such interest. She then sat down on one of the mayor's couches. She still stole glances at Jak from the corners of her eyes. Finally, he caught her eyes and smiled at her. Her heart melted for possibly the hundredth time that day.

Of course, they were in plain sight so Daxter could see it all. Daxter might have been an idiot but he knew it was only a matter of time before Keira and Jak would get together. But for now, he just enjoyed teasing them.

"So you guys, what are you going to do today? Other than stare at each other until you go cross eyed." Daxter rolled his eyes and laughed to himself.

Both Jak and Keira blushed a deep red and shot Daxter dirty looks. They then looked opposite ways but Daxter could see that they were still trying to look at each other from the corners of their eyes. The mayor finally came downstairs with a power cell in his hand.

"Well, there you are! Eh…Daxter…nice…to see you…" the mayor said, less than whole heartedly.

"Yeah…same to you…" Daxter replied.

"Alright, here is your power cell. Thank you for catching my bird!"

"No problem Mayor. Well, we'll be on our way. See you around." Jak said as he took the power cell and deposited it into his pocket.

The trio then proceeded to walk out of the house. Keira then told them, "Well, we should probably go give the cells to my dad for safe keeping. After that, what do you want to do? Look for more power cells or just relax?"

"Well, we have all the time in the world, don't we? Besides, I still want to look at everything that I've missed…I can't tell you how good it is to be home…" Jak said as he stared into the sky.

"Ditto." Daxter said.

"Alright, sounds good to me!" Keira exclaimed. The three then walked back to her house and told Samos the good news that they had acquired two power cells. Samos then let them spend the day freely. They decided that they would go to the old ruins at Sentinel Beach and watch the day go by. As they were walking there, a crab came up to Daxter and pinched him on the butt. Daxter, being himself went and chased him which left Jak and Keira alone for some time.

"So, the first two power cells have been collected. Are you alright with this? I mean, you don't have to go through with it you know…I don't want to force you to do anything you don't want to." Keira told Jak.

"No. If you want me to, I will. Keira, I would do anything for you. You know that right?" Jak replied quietly. The sun was setting so the sky was a beautiful burst of orange that set the perfect scene for the two of them. Keira looked down at her feet as Jak said this. She was starting to have second thoughts. She loved the sound of Jak's voice as it soothed her nerves. She liked Jak either way. And it didn't matter if he was the Jak she knew as a child or the Jak she knew in Haven City. She loved him all the same. She finally had to admit to herself that she loved this man. And she knew that she had to tell him soon.

Keira was lost in thought but finally said, "Thank you Jak. You know that you could just completely decline and I would be alright."

Jak had to prove that he would never decline anything she said. So, he lifted her chin and looked her in the eyes. Keira held on to the hand that was holding her chin. He then said quietly, "Keira, I don't know what to say. You seem to think that I would just ignore what you had to say. Hopefully this proves that everything you say matters to me. Everything." Jak said nothing more. He just slowly leaned in and kissed her sweetly and tenderly but let every emotion of love and care that he had for her into that kiss. Keira felt it. Keira felt every emotion that she had for him being sent back to her times ten. She knew at that very moment, without a doubt that she would love Jak Mar forever, no matter what kind of personality he had or what he looked like.

They broke apart and rested their foreheads against each other's. "Jak…I have to tell you…right now…" Keira started.

"Yes?" Jak stroked her face lovingly.

"Jak…I love you…" Keira choked out.

"I love you too Keira. And I always will." Jak replied.

Keira wrapped her arms around Jak's neck as he put his arms around her waist and held her close. Keira rested her forehead on Jak's chest and she suddenly felt very tired. Her knees gave out and she almost slipped but Jak held her tightly and looking alarmed, gently sat down with her on the ground.

"Are you alright?" Jak said, worried.

"Yes, I'm fine. I think I'm taking an emotional and mental toll on myself." Keira replied.

"It's alright. Just rest." Jak then leaned up against the wall while sitting and stretched his legs out. He pulled Keira into his lap and she laid her head down on his shoulder as she closed her eyes.

"Are you comfortable?" Jak asked her while smelling her sweet scented hair.

"Mmhmm…" Keira replied tiredly.

Finally Daxter came back after chasing the crab around. He saw his friend and Keira sitting there and decided that he would head home. He caught Jak's eye and signaled that he would see him later. He then walked away with a smile on his face.

After a fifteen minute nap, Keira awoke. She was still on Jak's lap and she checked to see if he was awake. He was, he was lovingly staring at her.

"Good morning beautiful." Jak said.

"Hey Jak." Keira replied while blushing furiously. "I guess we should head home then?"

"Yeah I think we should. You should sleep. You're really tired."

Jak and Keira walked hand in hand home to Keira's house. They said nothing to each other. They just enjoyed. They approached the house when suddenly Jak yanked Keira's arm which sent her flying towards him. He grabbed her around the waist and kissed her.

Keira looked a little flustered. "What was that for? Not that I didn't like it…"

"I'm not sure…I just felt like I should." Jak then embarrassingly scratched the back of his head.

Keira giggled. "Well, my handsome macho man. Good night. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Sweet dreams beautiful."

Keira went inside and Jak went back to his house. They both slept peacefully, but now they had to decide whether or not Jak would turn back or not. Although that decision, would be for the next morning to come.

Well, I hope you liked the chapter. Does this make up for the months of neglect? I'm really sorry by the way. But just so you know, I worked my butt off to make this chapter! Now I'm terribly exhausted. Alright. Next chapter might wrap things up I think…maybe not…I'm not sure yet.
