Chapter 6 - Lunch Time

Jack Spicer x OC[br]

Didn’t expect people to actually read this. I feel important now.[br]

DISCLAIMER: You should know it by now. I think it’s obvious.[br]

BASIC SYMBOLS: “Talking”, Thinking, IIIII change settings, XXXXXFlashback[br]





“Oooh...I’m so hungry...” I grumbled, rubbing my stomach as it growled. “Have to...eat something...” I stood up slowly, then, dragging my feet, pulled myself to the kitchen.[br]

What should I eat..? I thought, tapping my bottom lip. I ate the rest of that pizza last night, and I’m all of tuna...Ha, a chicken sandwich! I walked over to the breadbox and looked inside. I was all out of bread too. Damn. Now what? I opened the fridge. Nothing. I opened the cupboards. Kraft Dinner! Good, but there’s nothing to go with it. Ah well, Kraft Dinner it is. I grabbed a box at random, then walked over to the sink, grabbing a pot along the way. I filled it with water, then left it on the stove to boil. Before I knew it, I had finished making my meal, and sat down at the table to eat.[br]

Oh such delicious powdered cheese... I drooled, scooping it ravenously into my mouth.[br]

“Jack!” Wuya called. Ugh...[br]

“Whugth?” I tried to answer, but my mouth was too full. I chewed quickly, then swallowed hard. “What?”[br]

Immediately, she was in the room.[br]

“You, and I, need to go, on a little trip.” I raised my eyebrow in question as I continued to demolish my food. “Well, remember my plan?” I nodded slowly. “It’s time to put it into action.”[br]

“You know, you still haven’t told me what it was yet.” I stated.[br]

“You know, I told you not to ask.” she responded sarcastically. “But you need to pack up our stuff.”[br]

“What? What kind of plan is this? Am I moving? ‘Cause I’m not doing that!”[br]

“No, it’s more of a trip.”[br]

“Like a vacation?”[br]

“Not quite...”[br]

“I’m not sure I want to do this. Can’t you get Chase to do it?”[br]

“NO!” she shrieked suddenly. “No. I can’t.” This got my attention. Why can’t she bring Chase? Can it really be that important?[br]

“Does Chase even know about it?”[br]

“No, he doesn’t and I’d like to keep it that way! So don’t be running your mouth off to him!”[br]

“Whatever.” I said, trying to get her to go away so I could finish my Kraft Dinner in peace. Luckily, she did.[br]

Finishing, I sat back and held my stomach, happy with my fullness. Slowly, I waddled to the sink and rinsed my dish, then moved to my room to relax on my bed. It felt so good to lay down. I rolled to my side to see my stuffed animal, Romrom. It was a beige puppy, with a white patch on it’s nose. The softest thing that is known to man! I cuddled with it affectionately, rubbing my cheek with its. Slowly, I drifted off to sleep, remembering how it came into my possession.[br]



She held it tight to her body as we talked.[br]

“What did you name him?” I asked.[br]

“It’s a her actually, but it’ name is Romrom.” she responded softly.[br]

“Heh, how’d you come up with that name?”[br]

“I don’t know really. Heh heh...It just seemed to suit her somehow, you know?”[br]

“Yeah, it does suit her.”[br]

“Do you want to hold her?” she asked.[br]

“I, eh, sure?” Chuckling, she passed her to me. I remember how soft it was, I swear I could have fallen asleep right there and then![br]

“Wow! It’s so soft!”[br]

“I know right? I just couldn’t leave the store without it, it was instant love.” She smiled.[br]

I smiled too, and sighed softly. “I love the way you smile...” I said coolly. Quickly, she bit her bottom lip, trying to hide it, looking down as she blushed.[br]

Slowly, I brought myself closer to her, and she looked up shyly. The moonlight shined brilliantly off of her eyes, and her skin was glowing softly. She was so beautiful, it was almost otherworldly. Inching ever closer, she too did the same. We leaned in, and I stroke her cheek with my hand. We were both blushing brightly. Our faces were so close, I could feel the heat radiating from her cheeks. Our eyes closed slowly, as we continued to lean in.[br]

“Shaye! Shaye, are you out there?!” We heard someone call from the distance. We jerked away suddenly, as more voices followed, all calling for Shaye.[br]

“Oh my God!” she cried. “I’ve got to go! I’m so sorry Jack!” She flew to her feet, and before I knew it, she was gone. I sat alone and confused, with Romrom still in my arms. I remember that that was the last night we spent together...[br]



Softly, my eyes closed shut and I drifted off to a peaceful sleep, holding Romrom tightly.[br]



“Jack! What are you doing?!” I was rudely awaken by Wuya. “You’re supposed to be packing up!”[br]

I grumbled in disapproval, and rolled away. “Get up you lazy boy! We have a long way to go!”[br]

I sighed, knowing I wouldn’t be allowed to go back to sleep, and sat up groggily. “What? To where? What am I packing?”[br]

“You can’t bring any vehicles, there would be no way to drive through or land in where we’re going. You’ll need bug repellent for two, changes of clothes, and lots of food and water. Maybe even something to cook with.”[br]

“What the hell! Where are we going?”[br]

“Deep into an ancient forest. Oh, and bring an extra pair of clothes for someone else.”[br]

“Who? You said you couldn’t tell Chase what was happening, we can’t trust anyone else, and no one would wear my clothes anyways.”[br]

“Just do it!”[br]

I flinched in self-defence. “What. The. Hell. I hate you so much sometimes.”[br]

“Oh, trust me dear boy, you’ll enjoy our company.”[br]

“How long will it be?”[br]

“Depends on how fast you move. Maybe four days? Yes, that seems right.”[br]

“With all the bugs and crap? Ugh!” I stormed out of my bed and headed for the closet. Grabbign a large backpack, I began to grab random articles of clothing and stuff them neatly inside. I packed my personal things, and grabbed a small first-aid kit. You have to be prepared you know. Next, to the kitchen. I called for a few of my robots. One cleverly called Cooler Bot, was filled with anything that I thought I could want or need. I hooked several pots and pans on it and in another compartment, I stored bowls, utensils, and anything I would need to cook with. In another robot, I backed two barriers, specifically designed to keep insect out, a small tent, the first-aid kit, and a few tools I would need if any of the robots broke down. Lastly, the third robot would carry my cloths and all that I packed earlier. Me, Wuya, my three robots, and our unknown guest in an insect filled forest for four nights.[br]

Yay.[br]

“You’re done?” asked Wuya in the doorway.[br]

“Yes. I am. I really don’t want to go, but yes.”[br]

“Great, because there’s something else you need to bring.” She smiled innocently, floating up to me.[br]

“Mhm. Isn’t there always?” I sighed. “What is it?”[br]

“Shen-Gong-Wu.”[br]

“Ha ha. This just keep getting more interesting doesn’t it?” I rolled my eyes and headed to my Shen-Gong-Wu vault. After a series of robberies from people such as Katnappe, I upgraded my defence systems. There hasn’t been a robbery since! Oh, I’m amazing. Opening a series of locks, Wuya began to give orders again.[br]

“You only need two of them.” she said.[br]

“Oh? And they are?” I asked bitterly.[br]

“The Fox of Trickery, and the Lantern of Life.”[br]

“You really are insane, you know this right?”[br]

“Oooh, you have no idea dear Jackie.” she responded as I grabbed the requested Shen-Gong-Wu. I closed the vault, locked it back up, then headed back to the closet for another bag. I placed the Wu inside, set it by the other bags, and sat down on the couch. I sighed.[br]

“If you don’t mind now Wuya, my shows are on.”[br]

“We’re leaving earlier I hope you know.”[br]

“You know, I just kinda figured you might say that.”[br]

“I’m just warning you. It’ll be your own fault if our trip takes longer because you’re tired!”[br]

“Yep.” I responded plainly, turning on the television.[br]



Four day trips with unwanted people ftw.[br]
