"Umm..That gun is empty Jackie." Daxter said pointing to the pistol in my hands. 
                          
"Really? I didn't notice. NOT! Did you forget I can fire this thing without bullets? I just fire off pure eco."  I said rolling my eyes before stomping down on a small blast bot. It's electricity didn't hurt me as I crushed the damned thing. 'Ugh....so tired.' I sighed in my head.
                          
AFTER ALL THE FLOATING BOXES ARE DESTROYED.
                          
"I'm tired." I complained loudly kicking a rolling KG bot into the water. I put up my pistol and walked over to Jak lazily.
                          
"Yeah," He agreed looking up to the sinking sun in the sky. "how about we get to the Naughty Ottsel for some rest." Jak suggested. I nodded my head eagerly. We got onto a double zoomer and started driving back to South Town. Jak drove smoothly on the whole time causing me to relax. My head bobbed a few times as I went in and out of sleep. Eventually I just couldn't keep my head up so I rested it against Jak shoulder.
                          
"Sorry, sleepy." I mumbled tiredly to him.
                          
"That's alright, you used a lot of energy today." Jak said wrapping an arm around my shoulders driving with only one hand now. I blushed furiously but settled down and fell asleep. I opened my eyes to find emptiness and a swirling cloud of color. Dark, Blue, Green and Red were brightest out of the group. Yellow was a bit brighter and white was kind of dull. I looked around waiting for my little brother to come forward but he never did.
                          
"Joseph?" I called loudly but got no answer in return. I called out his name once more louder then before but was meet in silence. It kind of hurt, I was looking forward to seeing my brothers face again. Then again it was never my brother. Tears streamed down my face as I sat down alone in my own head with only the light of the eco inside of me. I guess it was just a matter of time before it would stop. 'I think it was my brains defense along with a affect of the Dark eco. I guess I was broken but now I'm becoming fixed.....but what if I liked it when I was broken?' I began to sob even more.
                          
"I don't want to be alone! Not in the dark!" I cried burring my face into my arms.
                          
"Your not alone." Jak's voice echoed through out the dark. I whipped the tears from my face and looked into the darkness as if he would appear but he never did. 
                          
"Yes, I am. I'm stuck in a world that's not mine. I'll never see my family or friends every again and now I'm this...this powerful being.  No one understands me. No one is struggling with things that are inside of you. Not like I am." I cried bitterly to the darkness. "I feel so alone."
                          
"I understand how you feel Jackie. Don't you remember those two years in prison we shared. The times you helped me deal with the darkness inside of my head? Now it's my turn to help you." Jak said. The darkness around me lifted. I opened my eyes to see that I was in the Naughty Ottsel in bed with Jak sitting besides me. My cheeks were wet telling me that I had been crying for real. "I know I can't replace the friends and family you had but you know I'm your friend." Jak said smiling down at me. I looked over at the bed beside mine and saw Daxter cuddled up with a pillow asleep.
                          
"More like your my best friend." I smiled up to him sniffing.
                          
"Yeah, your my best friend too. I don't think that will ever change." He said chuckling lightly.
                          
"Did I wake you up?" I asked him.
                          
"Yeah, but don't worry about it. It's not like I never woke you up." Jak reassured me.
                          
"Yeah...thank you for carrying me to bed. I bet Torn gave you some shit or said something sly about me." I huffed thinking about everything Torn could have said.
                          
"Actually he didn't say anything bad about you at all. In fact he said some pretty good things. He was surprised you didn't pass out way sooner then you did. Becoming sage of two eco types in one day and fighting off two attacks in one day. That's incredible." Jak complimented me.
