" Now, Danika Hunnicutt huh?" Asks Spud while Stacey is basically glued to his side as it was basically decided by Spud's parents that she would live with the Spudinskis. " Honestly, I was expecting a lot more intense gaze from Rose. Rose gal ain't you angry that Jakie dated someone else for a brief period of time?" Asks Trixie.
" No, honestly. Jake restarted my life and it should be impossible for me to be even here so it's only fair that Jake tries to find someone else. I can't possibly expect Jake to wait for me his entire life that would be simply unfair." Rose answers with a shrug. " Funny how that was my actual plan." Says Jake with a nervous laugh. " While I'm flattered I'm also not very pleased. You shouldn't make such statements Jake. You shouldn't wait for me since I wouldn't have waited for you if I didn't remember this life." Says Rose.
" Let's not dwell on the might haves instead let's contemplate about what has happened. You and I are back together, I ain't talking hip hop and not obsessed with rapping like before." Says Jake as they have reached Danika's home. " They knock on the door and Mrs. Hunnicutt opens the door. " Oh kids, come in, come in." Says Mrs. Hunnicutt as she invites us in his home. " I'm sorry young lady but I don't think I recognize you. Can you tell me who you are?" Asks Mrs. Hunnicutt. Rose gets up from the couch then says, " Ah, where are my manners? My name is Rosaline Jones but you can call me Rose. I transferred away from Millard Fillmore a year ago as we moved to Hong Kong due to my dad's job. We then came back as my dad has joined Infinitum Corporation's Liberty Wings division. So, I'm back here for high school."
" Wow, that was a thorough introduction. Well, glad to have you back Rose. Why don't you guys go upstairs and talk with Dani." Says Mrs. Hunnicutt while showing us to Danika's room. Jake knocked on the door and the door was opened by Danika who was happy to see everyone. " Oh my goodness, it's so nice to see you all. I'm so glad that Jake was able to recover your memories." Says Danika enthusiastically while shaking Rose's hand.
" Come in, come in." Invites Danika to her room. It was normal with average teen stuff like fashion magazines, a PC, a closet and some girl model posters. " So, Danika what's your hobby girl?" Asks Trixie. " Well, I like baking sometimes. But my most favourite hobby is actually designing dresses and making metal jewellery. But apart from that I also have an interest in gymnastics and martial arts." Answers Danika. " Huh, that's quite diverse." Says Stacey.
" What about you guys?" Asks Danika. " Well, you know me, Danika. Extreme sports, Warhammer 40K and Jeet Kun Do." Answers Jake. " I like fighter planes and I plan on trying out Mr. Long's private air force after all Mr. Long keeps the best toys for himself and his family. I plan on trying to fly an Exo atmospheric fighter jet." Answers Trixie.
" Well, my hobbies are simple. I like spearmanship, like to spar with Jake, spend time with Jake, my family and Jake's family." Answers Rose. " Sorry for all the things you went through, Rose." Says Danika. " Don't be. If I was never taken by the huntsclan I might've never met Jake. So, not everything's too bad. Wait a minute, how do you know about my past?" Asked Rose after she explained her hobbies.
" Well, long story short I saw you guys fight when you were enemies, I saw you and Jake's sacrifices for each other and Jake saved me from Vicky Fickling who was pure of heart insisted by Trixie as she believed one shouldn't judge a book by its cover. She turned out to be a siren." Replied Danika.
" You still holding onto that grudge girl? I apologized at least 20 times and Mr. Long gutted Vicky Fickling like a fish in order to figure out her mind control magic." Says Trixie with her usual sass. " Wait, how did you know it was us?" Asks Rose. " Your body proportion and Jake's unique color scheme. I am very good at measuring from a distance." Answers Danika with a mixture of pride and embarrassment.
" Well, that's something. I guess?" Says Rose confusedly while also being impressed. " Listen Danika, it's nice to meet you but I'm here for a selfish reason and I understand if you will refuse my request." Says Jake then explained Jonathan's origins, his past life and his complex web of manipulation and their acceptance of Jonathan, his unhinged actions not excluding his murder spree and his final training regime and his condition for joining the training regime.
Danika takes a deep breath and then says, " Jake, my honest yet gullible friend. You literally suck at pep talk. I mean who says my dad, in a fit of unbridled yet righteous fury destroyed an entire ethnic group in his past life and now he is basically an almighty spyware that can see and feel anything and everything of the past, present and future simultaneously and I want you to join a boot camp where you'll have to crawl through your own remains and my future sister-in-law is a spy. Also to answer your question, yes I'll join you. You really need to work on your message conveying style."
Jake just gives an embarrassed laugh and leaves Danika's home while Spud sends Stacey to his house as her sword was drawing too much attention. " Okay, now only Brad Morton and Daisy remain. This is gonna be one hotbed." Says Trixie and Jake just groans as he goes towards the Morton residence.
