The <ahem> annoyances of Jack and Melissa

<ACHTUNG! LONG POST!>
This post brought to you by your other favourites yet again, SMAndy
and Chris.
<snip>
Emma and Chris seperated outside Emma's quarters, and Chris, walked
the long way back to his own, passing Jacks room, and made it just
in time to see a bit of a dress disappear into the door, he grinned
to himself, tapped in the code his door and was out like a light, as
im pretty sure Jack wasn't.

BEFORE YOU READ THIS, KEEP IT IN YOUR MIND THAT THE 2 SIMMERS MAKING
THIS POST ARE NOT GAY. IT'S CALLED A ROLE PLAYING GAME FOR A REASON!
It was Early in the moring, Melissa heard footsteps outside the
door, they were so loud, she had a headache, she rolled over, and
saw nothing other than Jack, in the same bed as her. Jacks Phoenix
Fire enhanced hearing made it virtually impossible for the same
footsteps to not wake him up. He opened his eyes, and looked up.
"unfamiliar ceiling." he said to himself. Then looked to the side.
"hmm? is this the spare room from when it was a 3 person room?" he
thought. Then looked to the other side. His eyes opened wide.
"morning." he said, feeling slightly worried.
"Errr.....good morning" said Melissa, "Did we....?"
"I was hoping you knew." he replied, feeling a bit low, she didn't
have the same alcohol tolerance as Jack.
"We came back here for Coffee, and Dad went into his room, we had
coffee and, oh smeg we did didn't we?"
Jack gulped, he tried to summon memories, then it hit him.
Everything came flooding back. "Smeg indeed." he said, plainly. "I
didn't even know we had a double bed in this room..." he added.
Melissa lay her head back on the pillow, "Oh well, shit happens i
guess"
Jack choked slightly, "I was expecting more of a reaction than
that... but yeah, i spose you're right. I hope no damage was done."
"Hey, we were both a fair bit pissed, nothing we could have done
really was there"
"thats true.." he said, and began thinking. "Chris is gonna try and
kill me if he finds out..."
"Besides..." she said slowly, "I like you"
Jack coughed, "holy smeg" he thought, not saying a word for a
second. Male instinct took over and he found his hand moving onto
her leg. "I like you too." he managed, going slightly red, but in
the dark, it wasn't easy to see.
He felt her hand crawling up his back, he was going even redder.
"so..." he managed, "i feel like a coffee." he said, feeling the
blood rushing to his face. "do you want anything?" He was
beginning to feel uncomfortable, it wasn't often that he'd got drunk.
"Erm...yeah, i'd love a coffee, or we could stay here?" she said,
smiling and looking into Jacks eyes.
At this Jack went redder than a tomato, his heart started beating
faster than when he was in The Gauntlet down in cargobay 23. He
closed his eyes for a second. "no, bad mind. She is your friends
daughter, you can't. At least, not while sober." he thought, keeping
silent. "then again, a coffee is how this all started." he said,
trying to beat his brain down from the inside.
Chris subvocalised to Jack, "Hey, its working, hows everything going
in there?"
Jack stopped. "morning." he subvocalised, then turned back to
melissa. "sorry, hold that thought, its your dad..." he said, then
subvocalised again, trying to sound normal. "cool, its all going
fine, no side effects from the nano's?"
"Man, you sound a little panicky, whats up, and no, no side effects
as of yet and i have a gunblade as well" chris subvocaluised back.
"panicky? no course not." he replied. "Severn get that for you? i
thought he had a few spares."
"Yeah, Severn got one for me, very nice i must say, are you sure
you're alright, when did Melissa go back by the way?"
Jack again went red. "i can't remember the exact time. but it was
rather late. I'm still a bit tired." he said, managing to force a
yawn through the nano's.
"Dude, i can tell when your lying, just tell me the truth"
"smeg, busted" Jack said out loud.
"hey dude, i don't mind, it's her choice" Chris sub vocalised once
again.
Jack breathed deeply, then sub vocalised. "we HAD drunk quite a
bit..."
"Man, don't worry!" said Chris.
"i can't help it, everyones the same in this sort of situation."
Jack admitted.
"Jack, it doesn't matter mate, you fancy coming down and Bar-hopping
with myself and Keats.
he turned to melissa. "you wanna go off Bar hopping again?" he
asked her, but forgot to turn the sub-vocals off.
"oops" he said, "usually about now i'd be getting a threat, hehe."
he sub-vocalised.
"I'd love to" smiled Melissa, "But i need a shpoer and a change of
clothes first"
"k, i'll meet you by the main exit." Jack said, watching her
disappear out of the door, and sat up. "wow." he said, getting ready
as well. As Jack was about to leave, he rememberd something. "ahh,
perfect." he said, picking up a box from under his normal bed.
Inside was a spare set of INT armour. "I think this'll save me." he
said to himself.
----Later----
Chris subvocalised to Jack once more, "So, whats the score?"
"the score?" he asked, his lack of intelligence proving its
existence now.
"Are you coming or not" asked Chris, while muttering to Keats, "He's
hungover alright!"
"hey, i am NOT hungover! we'll be there in a tick." he sub vocalised
before meeting Melissa at the doors, he didn't say anything, just
smiled and opened the door for her.
They walked down to the station together, and they found Chris and
Keats and got a shuttle down to New York, again. They landed and
they stepped out. Melissa was wearing a Maroon dress and her golden
blonde plaited hair ran likea river down her back as it glittered in
the sunlight.
As Jack and Melissa walked down the road, he couldn't help but
think. "wow." his mind was on overdrive. "ask her, you know you
want to." came the voices in the back of his head. He was partially
relieved when they met up with Chris and John, and handed the box
over the Chris. "hey, in the cliche of 20th century adverts, i
found this, and thought of you."
He opened the box... and jack smiled. "hope you like it."
Chris gawped in amazement as he pulled out a full suit of INT armour.
"thought so." Jack said, "so, where to first?"
"Same as yesterday?" suggested Melissa.
So they walked over to the same pub as they were in yesterday, and
found it to be almost empty, and also at the bar was sitting Jacks
all time no.1 favourite person...
The group walked up to the bar. "hi." said Jack. putting his hand
on her shoulder. Kanako turned round, looked at him, then turned
back to the bar.
"you haven't been here all night have you?" he asked, but kanako
didn't reply, and just picked up a bottle, and drank.
Chris subvocalised to Jack and Keats for the hell of it, "Somebody
got up on the wrong side of the bed!"
"you need to have gone to bed to be able to do that." Jack said,
looking at her sitting there.
"Good point, meh, i think she's a tad pissed off"
"she'll get over it, she always does."
"Ask her whats up?" Chris said.
"better had." he said, sitting next to her.
"you ok?" he asked.
"you can't possibly know how i feel." she said, feeling angry.
"i never said i did. go on, you need to sleep. you'll feel better
when you've slept off the drink."
She stood up, slapped Jack round the face, then walked off, pushing
Chris and keats out the way as she did
"what did i say?" Jack asked, watching her march out, not in a
particularly straight line.
"No phoenix fire from her, thats for goddamn sure" chuckled
Chris, "LIGHTWEIGHT" he shouted out the door, "I'VE BEEN PUSHED
HARDER BY A THREE YEAR OLD"
"HEY, LEAVE HER ALONE!" jack shouted, Kanako was his sister after all
"Jack, chill, you're not the only one with a hangover, i'd learn who
to stick up for if i were you, unless you noticed she just slapped
you round the face!"
"i know, but she's my sister." he said. " just let her be."
"Eugh, she makes me fume!" Chris said
"fair enough, your thoughts, not mine."
"Just something i overheard her say to *herself* yesterday, it
was...worrying"
"oh?" Jack asked.
"Jack, she loves you"
"well duh! she's my sister!"
"in more than a brotherly sisterly way"
"ya wha?" Jack said. "Come to think of it, that does explain alot
in the past..."
"Yeah, and this incident just made me wonder, she might be a tad
more pissed off than you think, just be careful ok?
Jack started thinking again, very unusual for him. He looked to
Melissa, and it hit him. "Smeg." he muttered. "sorry guys, i've
got to go, see you later." he said, and ran off after her.
Chris subvocalised to Jack, "Where the smeg are you going?"
"don't worry, i'll be back." is all he said, then turned off the
nano communicators, blocking all frequencies.
"Im going to find out what he's doing" muttered Chris, and thanks to
phoenix fire, he could run a heckload faster, he ran and ran, he
could still see Jack as a speck in the distance. But on the busy
streets of New York, Jack disappeared round a corner, and by the
time Chris had got there, he had gone. A piece of paper was blown
into his face. He opened it and read.
don't follow me, i'll catch up later - Jack
<tag.OOC: sorry if any "material" in this post offends, we were
careful, but we can't stop everything.>
