Working together had always been easy for Jack and Katherine, they were both strong-minded, hard working people. So when Race and Romeo challenged them to fixing a broken projector, the two were more than happy to except.
"Bring it on!" Katherine told Race as he hands Jack the projector, it looks old and very, very used.
"If you guys actually pull it off and can fix it, then popcorn is on me!" Race says lighting the cigar between his teeth.
"Shouldn't be to hard..." Jack says examining the inside. "Jus' needs a new memory disk and ta be cleaned up a bit." Katherine grins wickedly at Race and Romeo.
"Make sure you buy extra buttery popcorn!" She says to the two boys.
"Hey! That is to say you can actually fix it! You have until tomorrow morning!" Romeo says.
"Well we's betta get ta work then." Jack says "Come on Ace." Katherine follows Jack out of the boys apartment throwing a "Bye boys" over her shoulder. She sprints to catch up with Jack.
"Where did they even get this?" Jack asks her as they cross the busy streets full of Yew Yorkers.
"Beats me, you never know what those boys could be up to. Do you even know how to fix it?" She asked him as they parted there way through people who's hands were full of shopping bags.
"Oh yea, I jus' need some where to work. A garage perhaps?" He asked her hopefully. Katherine bit her lip she did know of a garage but she didn't think the owner of that garage would be to happy to find Jack Kelly in there.
"Well, my father has one but-" she started to say but Jack cut her off.
"Oh, never mind then, will find some where else." He said, Katherine shrugged then suddenly got an idea.
"Hey! How about you sneak into my room with that thing-" she says pointing to the projector "And I'll sneak some tools out of our garage!" Jacks grin widened.
"Ya genius, that's is why I love you!" He said planting a kiss to her cheek. She giggled and swatted him away.
When they reached the Pulitzers giant mansion they split ways, Jack climbing up the fire escape to her room and Katherine going though the front door.
"Dad?" She called to the empty house, there was no answer, he must have still been at work. She sprinted to the garage and grabbed what Jack had told her, thank goodness the tools were labeled or she would have never found what she needed. She ran back up the two flights of stairs to her room, she closed the door and leaned against it breathing heavy. Jack was sitting on her bed his eyebrows raised.
"Almost get caught?" He asked, she shook her head.
"No he's gone, but it's always good to be careful am I right?" She asked still a little out of breath. He chuckled and got up to take the bag out of her hands and sat it down on her desk next to the broken projector. "So where did you learn to fix projectors?" She asked noticing how he popped open a latch and was inspecting the wires and metallic springs inside.
"I didn't, but my ole' man had me help him fix up old cars so I figured this couldn't be much different." He said shrugging.
"Um, Jack... projectors are a lot different from cars, you sure you can do this?" Jack turned to her a fake expression of hurt on his face.
"You don't believe in me?"
"No of course I do! I was wondering."
"Ha. Ha. Don't worry Kath all machines are put together similarly. It shouldn't be too hard." He said turning his attention to the projector.
