Jak wakes up earlier than normal due to the fact that his left forelegs is numb from the purple unicorn sleeping on it. He stifles a yawn before carefully extracting himself from the bed without waking Twilight. He moves gingerly around Spike's bed and heads out the door. He makes his way to the kitchen and starts looking for stuff to make breakfast. After rummaging through the fridge, he emerges with a carton of eggs, milk, and soy bacon. He sets them down on the counter with a sigh. “God, I miss meat.”
“What was that?”
Jak turns around and sees Twilight standing in the doorway. “I was just saying how I miss meat.” He shuffles his feet. “Sorry if I woke you.”
Twilight walks over and stand next to him. “It's OK, I slept later than I usually do anyway. Wait, did you say meat? Like, as in animals?” She looks shocked.
“Yeah,” Jak replies, oblivious to Twilight's look. “My favorite was yakow, only Kiera could cook it right, though.”
Twilight's look changes to one of suspicion. “Who's Kiera?”
“Oh, she was my girlfriend back ho-” Jak stops talking as he recognizes the tone in Twilight's voice. Looking at her, he notices anger in her eyes. “Oh, sh-” he drops an egg, ctting off the rest of what he was going to say.
Twilight moves closer to him, glaring daggers. “You have a girlfriend, and you didn't feel the need to mention her?”
Jak backpedals. “T-Twilight, I can explain.”
“I don't want to hear your explanations, Jak!” she yells. “What I want to hear is the sound of you leaving this house! I can't believe I was falling for you!”
Jak turns tail and starts galloping, as he exits the kitchen, an egg hits the floor next to him.
“Hey, wazgoinon?” Daxter asks as he descends the stairs, rubbing his eyes.
“Hurry and get on, Dax!” Jak practically shouts as another egg smashes against his flank. “I'll explain later.”
Just then, Twilight appears, holding another egg in her magical grip. “OUT!”
Daxter jumps on to Jak's back quickly. “What did you do to piss her off?” he says as Jak bursts through the front door.
Jak slows down to a trot as he gets a good distance from the library. “I might have mentioned Kiera.”
“Bad move, Jak. Bad move.” He shakes his head. “You never mention past girlfriends to the current one.”
“I know that, Dax. It kinda just slipped out.”
“Eh, well. Things will work out. They always do for you.”
“Now you sound like Samos.”
“Yeah, well don't get used to it. I can only spare wisdom only once in a blue moon.”
Jak rolls his eyes. “I've noticed.”
“Hey, what's that supposed to mean?” Daxter swats at Jak's head.
Jak laughs. “Oh, nothing. We should probably find someplace to lay low while Twilight's anger is running hot.”
“How about there?” Daxter points to a tree house about twenty feet in front of them.
“Sounds good to me.” Jak walks up the ramp and into the tree house. It has multiple posters on the wall, including a badly drawn map of Ponyville. Some of the landmarks have X's over them.
“It looks like whoever lives here is plotting something against the town,” Daxter says skeptically.
“Yeah, whatever,” Jak replies with a yawn. He curls up on the rug in the middle of the room. “If anypony comes in bent on world destruction, wake me up.”
“Will do, Cap'n.” Daxter salutes, but Jak is already asleep. Daxter turns around and watches the door. He stands there for about twenty minutes before his own eyes start to droop. “Hmm, maybe a little nap.” He closes his eyes and falls to the floor in a heap, already passed out.
Twilight glared at the door that Jak had just exited, her chest heaving from anger. How dare he? How dare he kiss me even when he has a marefriend? How dare he come into my bed? She lets out an angry grunt and looks around her library. Her expression softens at the sight of all the eggs splattered on the floor.
“Twilight?”
“WHAT?!” she yells at the unsuspecting dragon.
Spikes jumps back. “Sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you.” He turns to head back up the stairs.
“Spike, wait,” Twilight says, her voice calm now. “I'm not angry at you. I'm angry at him.” Twilight glares at the door again.”
“Who?”
“Jak. He played like he was into me and then just tells me he has a marefriend.”
“Really?” Spike asks, “Who is it?”
“Somepony from his home world.”
“Oh,” Spike replies, understanding dawning on his face. “I see.” At the distraught look on Twilight's face, he walks over to his caretaker and throws his arms around her neck in an embrace. “It's OK, Twilight. Trust me, he does like you. I can see it in his eyes. I also can tell he is loyal. I think the reason he even started going with you was because he doesn't think he will be going home. He is trying to start a new life, and he wants you to be in that new life.”
Twilight breaks the hug and holds Spike at foreleg length, a look of incredulity on her face. “What if you're right, Spike? What if I've ruined everything? I've got to find him.” She releases the dragon and bolts out the door.
Spike looks to the door and then to the mess on the floor. He lets out a tired sigh. “You're welcome.”
“Who is it?”
“Ah don't know. Ah think Ah've seen him with Applejack and her friends before.”
“Scootaloo, you should wake him up.”
“Why me?”
“Because yer the one that found him here.”
“Oh, alright.”
Jak feels a hoof prod his side. “Hmm.” He opens his eyes to see three young fillies staring at him with wide eyes.”
“Hey, mister,” the one poking him, an orange pegasus with a purple mane and tail, says. “You're sleeping in our clubhouse.”
Jak stands up and looks over to Daxter, who is fast asleep. Some guard you are. He turns back to the fillies. “Sorry about that. I got evicted from my place of residence this morning and this was the first place I saw. I'm Jak by the way. May I ask your names?”
“I'm Scootaloo,” The orange one says.
“I'm Sweetie Belle,” a white unicorn with a purple and pink mane says.
“And Ah'm Applebloom,” the final one, a yellow earth pony with a red mane and a red bow, says.”
“And together we are THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS! YAY!” they all say in unison.
Daxter jumps awake with a yell of fear at the outburst. “Jak, we're under attack by three adorable fillies!”
“Yes, Daxter. I've noticed.” He turns back to the Crusaders. “What are the Cutie Mark Crusaders?”
The one named Applebloom speaks up. “A group for ponies by ponies to help ponies get there cutie marks. Speaking of, you don't have your cutie mark yet. D'ya wanna join?”
“Umm...”
“Pleeeeeaaase?” the girls say in unison again, all giving him puppy dog eyes.
“Oh, alright,” Jak says. “Where do I sign up?”
“No signing up, we just have to initiate you.”
“What does that enta-”
“There you are!”
Jak turns to see Twilight standing in the doorway. “How dare you storm out of the library with out explaining yourself!”
Jak backs away slowly. “But you said you didn't want- mmphg”
He is silenced by Twilight running over to him and covering his mouth with hers, tackling him to the ground. After a good minute, she breaks the kiss. Standing above him, she states, “Promise me you won't go chasing after any other mares.”
Jak nods frantically. “I-I promise.”
“Good. I expect you back at the library for dinner, but you are sleeping in your room tonight.”
Jak gulps and nods.
“Good. See you then.” She gives him a heartfelt smile. “See you later, girls.” She turns around and walks out, swaying her hips a bit excessively.
Wat?
2060517 what what
2060543 Twilight is all over the place man!
2060547 what do you mean? did i rush it? make it too unbelievable. sorry
2060558 No its not that at all.
It pertains to how canon you made her seem in this story, And it's very canon.
Her reaction is something of what i wasn't expecting from her, and its something that she could end up doing on the show.
2060562 only if she gets a boyfriend. also i must say i am proud of you for not posting "moar" now i wait
2060573 You know me to well, nut i'm feeling merciful towards you today, so i won't post that word.
2060583 awesome you must be attending your msa meetings "moar sayers anonomous"
2060599 Nope, i just chugged 12 liters of R.C. Cola and i am PUMPED!!!
2060602 did you mean to put that 1 there
2060612 Uh Huh!
2060616 man i wish i could drink that much soda. oh who am i kidding i did it with gatorade and everclear. an ive still never had a hangover
2060623 I chugged it in 5 minutes and i just ran a mile!
2060625 sounds fun
2060656 I ran it in 2 minutes. And i am literally bouncing off the walls as i type this.
2060663 im pretty sure a two minute mile is impossible
2060670 Not if you've got like 1000mg of caffine pumping through your blood a second!
2060678 it still requires you to run 30 mph
2060691
How can you do math that quickly?
2060696 dude, i have been classified as genius by psycologists
2060703
Damn you. I wish i has atleast half as smart as you...
2060707 and theres the fact that this is on the interwebs and i could have just thought about it for a while. however in this case, what i said previously is true
Okay. Do you really need to tell us Twilight is Bipolar?
2061276no but it as fun to write
2061276 CHAIN BREAKER!!!
Just finished with my Mellophone recital and I AM IN THE ZONE TO EDIT
(Jak turns tail and starts running, as he exits the kitchen, an egg hits the floor next to him.) I'm going to have to say to change "running" to "galloping"...or is it "gallaping"...google search it please, I'm a little busy
(“Because yer the one that found him here?”) Remove question mark and replace it with a period or add ", remember?" either one works.
By Luna's beard...Either I'm losing my touch or you're getting good at writing. Very nice chapter by the way I'm always glad I can help...even if I only find two things
DJ-Pon3 approved
...Well...that escalated quickly
2285992 My thoughts exactly!
wait, wait, wait. how exactly does twilight know what a girlfriend is? just few paragraphs later you demonstrated that they call it marefriend and they wouldn't even know what a "girl" is! this is an oversight that i would normally overlook, but the plot of this chapter HINGES ON IT!
lol, I bet after that, Jak's mind be like:
Good chapter 👍
