Crash Bandicoot Homecoming Chapter 4

Chapter 4: An Emergency
(Disclaimer! I own nothing of Crash Bandicoot!)

Crash and Jackie were sitting on a bench.
Crash was showing her a food recipe that he made.
“Then you stir the chocolate in,” said Crash.
“You sure you did this before?” asked Jackie.
“Trust the chef,” said Crash with a smile.
“Alright,” said Jackie.
She tried it but quickly spat it out.
“Wow… that was bad,” said Jackie.
“Huh, it was good when I tried it,” said Crash.
He tried it but realized something. He forgot about the sugar.
He made a funny face and Jackie giggled at him.
Crash started to laugh with her.
“See Crash, you’re really cute when you laugh at yourself,” she said as she rested her feet on his lap.
“What?” asked Crash.
“Buddy just relax,” said Jackie.
“I am relaxed,” said Crash.
He wasn’t relaxed.
“Seriously why are you so nervous Crash?” asked Jackie.
“Well… cause it’s a date, and Marco tells me you’re a really cool girl, and I’m afraid that I’ll mess up,” said Crash.
“Crash you already did mess up,” said Jackie.
“Wha?” asked Crash.
“Yeah,” said Jackie, “You had all that awesome adventure to save Tawna, but you fell into pits and your sister had to get you out, you almost got eaten by a plant….”
“Yeah,” said Crash.
“Oh and there was the time where you rode a hog all across a villiage,” said Jackie.
“Point takne Jackie,” said Crash.
“And then there was that guy ripper roo who had a bunch of TNTs,” said Jackie.
“Let’s not relive that moment,” said Crash.
“Fair enough,” said Jackie, “But you know what’s so interesting about you Crash?”
“What’s that?” he asked.
“Its that even after a crushing defeat, you get right back up and try again,” said Jackie, “But do me a favor.”
“Yea?” asked Crash.
“Stop trying to be somebody you’re not,” said Jackie, “It doesn’t matter who you are, what matters is that you stay true to it, like me. I’m, a skateboarder.”
“I’ve never ridden a skateboard before,” said Crash.
“Really?” asked Jackie.
She took her skateboard out of her dress.
“Give it a shot?” asked Jackie.
“Ok,” said Crash as he smiled.
Jackie started giving Crash some tips on skateboarding.

The Middle by Jimmy Eat World
Jackie: Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.

It just takes some time,
Little boy, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright, alright.

Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own (on your own), so don't buy in.
Live right now, yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough (good enough) for someone else.

It just takes some time,
Little boy, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright, alright.
It just takes some time,
Little boy, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright, alright.

Soon Crash was riding along the sidewalk and was going faster than usual.
“That’s how you do it!” said Jackie, “Keep going dude!”
He started to do some tricks.
“Yeah!” he said.

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just do your best (just do your best), do everything you can (do everything you can).
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.

It just takes some time,
Little boy, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright, alright.
It just takes some time,
Little boy, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright.

Crash fell but got back up.
“You ok?” asked Jackie.
“Yeah,” said Crash, “Haven’t had this much fun in years.”
They looked at each other and smiled.
“You know, I’m really happy I asked you out,” said Jackie.
“Me too,” said Crash.
They got closer and were about to share a kiss.
But then Crash opened his eyes and saw smoke.
“Crash?” asked Jackie.
He turned her head around and they both saw a fire.
People were evacuating a building.
N. Gin was in some kind of robotic suit wreaking havoc.
“Just hand over the crystal and we won’t have to be dirty!” he said.
Crash and Jackie rushed over to the area.
“N. Gin,” he said.
“I don't know who you are boy," said N. Gin, "But you best stand back before things get ugly.”
“What do you want you mad man?” asked Crash.
“The crystals,” said N. Gin, “Cortex needs them for his weapon.
He noticed a crystal in Jackie’s dress.
“Yes,” said N. Gin.
His robot grabbed Jackie.
“Jackie!” said Crash, “N. Gin let her go!”
“No likely,” said N. Gin, “She has something I need!”
“Let her go or else,” said Crash.
“Or else what boy,” said N. Gin.
“This boy is gonna make you wish he had!” Crash answered.
He did his signature spin move and hit the hand.
He dropped Jackie and Crash caught her.
“Now you’ve done it,” said N. Gin.
Crash got out his fruit bazooka and started firing.
“Glad I kept this!” he exlaimed.
He kept firing at N. Gin and one by one his parts started to fall.
“Enough is enough!” said N. Gin.
He ramed into Crash and he dropped his bazooka.
“Now, give me that crystal or die!” he shouted.
Crash grinned.
“What’s so funny?!” asked N. Gin, “You really gonna do this?!”
He had a wumpa grenade and threw it on N. Gin’s weapon.
“no, no, no, no!” he said.
It exploded with N. Gin flying in the air.
“Cortex will be most displeased!!!” said N. Gin.
Crash got back up and part of his tux was ripped.
“I….. Just bought this tux,” he said.
The crowd started to cheer and chant his name.
“Thanks, anytime,” said Crash.
Jackie gave Crash a hug.
“Thanks for the save,” she said.
Crash was walking Jackie back to her dorm.
“I really had a fun time tonight,” said Jackie.
“So did I,” said Crash, “This was more fun than that adventure I had.”
“”Sorry again about Tawna,” said Jackie.
“Its cool,” said Crash.
“Well, I’ll see you again,” said Jackie.
She started to go back inside.
She then turned around and gave Crash a kiss on the lips.
She then went back inside.
Crash went walking back with a huge smile on his face.

Hooked on a Feeling by Blue Sweede

Crash: I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me

When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right

I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

Lips as sweet as candy
Its taste is on my mind
Girl, you got me thirsty
For another cup o' lemon-lime (Crash doesn’t Drink)

Got a bug from you girl
But I don't need no cure
I'll just stay a victim
If I can for sure

All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up girl
Yeah, you turn me on

I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up girl
Yeah, you turn me on

I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

I'm hooked on a feeling
And I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

I said I'm hooked on a feeling
And I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
I'm hooked on a feeling
