I'm trying to say "I do…"

Disclaimer: I don't own Jak and Daxter

I will however be using my powers as an author to resurrect people who are supposedly dead for the purposes of the story.

Chapter 1: The Engagement

A party at the Naughty Ottsel. That was where Jak planned to do it. The amount of people here was enough to scare him more than any metal head nest ever would. Keira was standing at the bar with EVERYONE. This would not make it any easier.

"Maybe we should do this another day..." Jak said.

"Come on big guy! You ain't scared of nothing!" Daxter encouraged.

"What if she says no?" Jak asked.

"Why would she?" Daxter asked.

"There was that time I kissed Ashelin." Jak reminded him.

"But she's always loved you!" Daxter protested. "Just go and do it... if she says no... I'll be here to pick up the pieces and tell her she's a stupid cow."

"Thanks Dax." Jak said, and walked towards the bar. "Keira?" He asked. Everyone stopped chatting and looked at him. He felt sick.

"Jak, are you feeling ok?" Torn asked. "You look a bit pale."

"I'm fine." Jak replied shakily. "Are you feeling ok?"

"What...?" Torn asked. "Have you taken something?"

"What? Drugs? NO!" Jak said.

"Jak, are you sure you're feeling ok?" Keira asked. Jak sighed. At least he had her attention.

"Get down on one knee!" Daxter hissed in Jak's ear.

"I can't... I'm frozen." Jak whispered.

"Jak! Stop being nervous and do it!" Daxter snapped.

"Easy for you to say..." Jak growled.

"Jak? Is there something you want to tell us?" Keira asked. Jak sighed. It was going to be now or never. He went down on one knee in front of everyone.

"Keira, I love you." Jak said. "Will you marry me?" he reached into his pocket for the ring, and couldn't find it. Jak froze. He couldn't find the ring box.

"Yes Jak! Did you get me a ring?" Keira asked.

"Uh... yes... but..." Jak replied and stood up, patting all of his pockets. "I think I lost it."

"YOU LOST IT?" Daxter yelled. "DO YOU REMEMBER HOW MUCH WE HAD TO GO THROUGH TO GET THAT RING?"

"What did you have to go through?" Ashelin asked.

"WELL. First there was the metal head nest that hadn't finished being cleared out, THEN we had to find a jewellery shop that didn't think Jak was robbing them and THEN we got mixed up in a gang war AND he had to ask Razer's help to pick one out, and we had to pay him!" Daxter listed everything, counting on his fingers.

"Razer? As in... Mizo team Razer?" Torn asked.

"Yeah." Daxter replied.

"How did you pay him?" Keira asked.

"I don't want to talk about it." Jak replied and cringed. "I FOUND THE RING!" Jak yelled.

"Ooh where?" Daxter asked. Jak took off one of his boots, and tipped it upside down. The ring fell out into his hand.

"Wow that's beautiful!" Keira gasped as Jak slid it onto her finger. The ring was silver with a chip of a blue Eco crystal as the centrepiece.

"Razer helped you pick this out?" Torn asked. Jak nodded. "He must be gay..." Torn mumbled.

"Jak, we have to go and tell daddy!" Keira exclaimed.

"Samos?" Jak asked. His blood ran cold. He had completely forgotten about facing the old Sage.

"Yes silly. Come on." Keira said, dragging Jak out of the Naughty Ottsel to a zoomer parked outside. "He'll be in Haven forest talking to some trees probably."

"I'll – I'll drive." Jak said.

"Are you sure you're ok to drive?" Keira asked.

"Yes I'm fine." Jak said unsurely.

"I'll drive." Keira said, and climbed onto the zoomer, and patted the seat behind her. Jak swallowed down the lump on his throat, and climbed on behind Keira. She grinned, and kicked the engine into life. Jak began praying to any sort of god out there that he would survive Keira's driving.

They arrived at Haven forest, and found Samos sitting at the bottom of a large tree, seeming to be meditating.

"Daddy?" Keira asked. He opened his eyes to look at them.

"What?" Samos asked grumpily. "I was discussing the weather with this tree when you interrupted me!"

"Daddy, me and Jak are getting married!" Keira announced, showing Samos her hand. "Oops, wrong hand." She said, and showed him the one with the ring on it.

"WHAT?" Samos yelled. Jak slowly backed away, until he was on the other side of Haven forest. I hope this is a safe distance... he thought as he heard Samos beginning to yell at Keira.

Well guys, that's it for chapter 1, even though it was kind of short... but my maths exam is calling me! ... So is a walk in the rain... Please review! It'll make my day!
