บท 284: Party of One and a Fox

'Jack, what's wrong?' asked Bowzer. 'Do you not like Daliea?'

'Th-that's not it!' Jack shouted in reply. 'I wasn't expecting that… And Daliea never acts like that, so I'm sure Eliza had something to do with it.'

'But since she agreed, doesn't that mean Daliea likes you? So, what's wrong with liking her back?' the fox reasoned.

'That… We're not discussing this right now,' Jack changed the topic. 'Right now, we've got to reach Churstin Canyon as soon as possible and I know just the way.'

'Oh, do we get to run there?' Bowzer asked in excitement.

'Nooo… This way we'll be there in no time at all,' laughed Jack.

'What do you mean? Hello??' Bowzer looked to Jack with a tilted head. Jack's silence was enough to let Bowzer know that Jack was already up to something. Only when a flash of light appeared and blinded him did Bowzer understand Jack's plan.

"Tralon, thanks for coming and helping us out." Jack walked up and shook his hand.
