"Brash got suckerpunched in the face, but she was the one who started the fight," Colette answered, smirking a little. "She'll be fine though. She glutton for punishment--er-- she's really tough, so it'll take a lot more than that to really hurt 'er!"

 

Colette leaned into Fluttershy as well, wrapping an arm around he shoulder as the large group made their way down the corridor. "I'm not into racing, to tell you the truth," she whispered back, "not all humans are into it. Maybe that's why you didn't hear about it before today." She couldn't help but giggle a little as her date mentioned her fear of cars. "No, I can't say I ever was!"

After a few more moments of wandering, the gaggle of Ponies and Finders alighted on Room M104, finding all the racer, the Pegasus, and the crush. William took the initiative and knocked on the door, as if the group's clamour didn't tip the trio off to their presence. "Are we interrupting anything??"

(OOC: Dash was really the one who Jack was angry at, not Dennis. lol)

 

"Look, Rainbow Dash, Dennis, you guys," Jack responded, "Letting my life fall into the hands of racing? That's all I can possibly do to support them! And now, Trent thinks I'll burn out trying to help them. Nationwide Series isn't cutting it for them anymore. I have to pay for myself, for them, it's not enough doing just what I'm doing. The fuck does he know, he thinks it's a moot battle I'm fighting. There's an opportunity to help them further, possibly get my mom into a rehab program, and get Timmy an education worth a fuck. And I can't take it." He then turned to Rainbow Dash. He was so consumed by his frustration, that his words were very coarse. He was angry, not just at Rainbow Dash for accusing him of cowardice, but at everything as a whole. From simple things, to the big picture.

"You callin' me a quitter," Jack growled, not knowing what he was saying, "You don't know shit about this. I hope you know what this feels like to have an opportunity taken away by complete bullshit. I hope that you get yourself into form for the Wonderbolts. An awesome, sleek, and slender form that makes you more than the best flier in Equestria. A perfect body that can pull of Sonic Rainbooms without breaking a sweat. Them, in your next Wonderbolts tryout, you get your wings taken away from you for no reason at all! You won't be able to fly in front of the Wonderbolts! Your hopes and dreams crushed and destroyed beyond ALL BELIEF! I HOPE YOU FEEL THAT PAIN SOMEDAY!"

Jack, at this point, was shouting through tears of anger and frustration. His mind was completely under the control of rage, a rage that latched itself onto his brain, and injected fury and anger straight into his cerebrum. He never felt this close to completely blowing up in quite awhile. During his tirade, however, unbeknownst to Jack, the rest of the group walked in to check on him.

Twilight was aghast at what Jack had said to Rainbow Dash. Sure, she's heard people curse at her, but never on the scale Jack did. That was full-on voodoo to Twilight.

"Jack!" she scolded, "You do NOT put that kind of evil on Rainbow Dash!"

Jack slowly turned to face her, glaring her down with a death stare. He held this stare at her for a good few seconds, with narrowed, bloodshot eyes, a crimson, sweaty face, and an angry scowl clearly telling her to back off. She interpreted this correctly, and did so. Twilight couldn't believe how angry he was right then. And she couldn't help but wonder, what was it that got him into such a state? Of course, it was a pretty bad time to ask right now.

 

(Sorry for the late post, everyone. Tried a riskier post this time, too. If you haven't noticed, Jack is on the verge of completely exploding)

Rainbow Dash stood slack for a couple moments. Then a growl rose in her chest, coming out through bloodshot eyes.

"Jesus fucking Christ!" she enunciated carefully. "I'm just trying to help!" Furiously wiping one arm across her face, she wasted no time in getting out of the room--and probably would have slammed the door shut behind her if there hadn't been a veritable crowd in her way.

 

What did she need to worry about him for, anyway? If he wanted to be such a freaking sourpuss, after all that glorious racing he was going to--dah, forget it! See if Rainbow dash bothered giving him a pep talk every again. She shoved her way past everyone but Colette and FLuttershy, staring angrily at the tile until they finally cleared space for her to stalk past and lean against a bench down the hall, releasing steam moment by moment.

Will took a few moments to process the sight before clearing his throat. "Alright everyone. Jack needs some time alone. Let's give 'im some time to cool off." With that, he led the group back the way they came.

Colette looked to Fluttershy after Rainbow Dash passed, eyes a bit wide. What.. What the hell was going on?? She took Fluttershy by the hand and leading her away. Should she check on Rainbow Dash?? Colette knew Dennis would inevitably go after her, but…

 

Colette led Fluttershy onward with the rest of the group, trusting that Dennis might be able to reach her… If not, maybe she could say something when they got home??

Finally, Rainbow Dash ran by. "Darn..." she said simply, deciding not to follow Dash. She needed to blow off steam on her own for a bit. She didn't know what to say or do to make this better, but she decided to be as supportive as possible. "Uh...is there anything ah can do to help?"

 

She found that, since she came to this world, she had not been able to be very helpful to her friends. This made her rather uncomfortable.

Applejack walked into the room, with a frustrated Jack Preybird choking on tears of frustration. She offered him her support, but right now, it was best just to leave him alone for a bit. Perhaps with Catherine.

"I..." Jack weakly responded through his tears, "I just need a bit of time... to think..."

He was still angered at Rainbow Dash, and hadn't come to his senses about what he had said to her yet. Despite this, he was still able to not lash out on Applejack, despite the rage continuing to inject his head with anger. This was mainly due to his conflicted emotions. He did not want to have her go off like Rainbow Dash did, yet at the same time, he did want to talk with her, or at least his girlfriend, as he felt the most comfortable with her than any of the other ponies. He needed just that: time to think, and be able to slowly isolate the rage that was controlling his thoughts and emotions.

"Give me... a few minutes..." Jack said to everyone.

Fluttershy let Colette turn about face and lead her away from the hospital room, as the rest of the group followed step in moving instinctually away from the angry noises that burst out along with one rainbow-haired girl.

"Oh, my..." Fluttershy, sighed, half-tsking in somewhat resigned disappointment. "They're angry again." She shook her head disapprovingly. "Why oh why does Rainbow Dash have to get so angry all the time?"
She thought for a minute, then tightened her grip on Colette's fingers for one gentle squeeze. "I've decided something, Colette. I--if I'm not being mean. Humans yell a lot. And I don't like it."

Upon arriving at the hospital, Ulysses stayed outside, sitting next to the door like  sentinel as he waited. Angie had stayed outside as well, never having liked going inside hospitals in the first place, despite being an emergency medical technician.

Inside, Logan had stayed outside of room M104. They were a large group, and to many entering the room at once would probably be to hectic. Jack didn't seem to be in the best of moods, for good reason, and he requested to be alone. When Applejack exited, asking what he thought they should do. Leave or stay, he assumed. He glanced at his watch, "We can probably stick around here for a few more minutes, and have enough time to get our plans in."

He glanced down the hallway, before beginning to walk with her, "Maybe you could talk to Rainbow? Give her a little time to cool down beforehand of course. I've learned that one of the best ways to calm down when you're angry is to find someone you can talk sensibly with. At least, that's my personal experience."

Catherine had different plans on how she was going to handle this. She waited until most of the group had moved away from the room before entering herself. She stayed silent for a few seconds, simply looking at Jack, before walking over and gently placing a hand on his shoulder, "Probably a stupid question, but are you doing alright?"

Colette knew Dennis would inevitably go after her, but…

((OOC:*Smirk*)) A lot of things happenned at once... Colette's father got in, Jack was about to emotionally explode, Rainbow was... giving up on a friend? No... this musn't happen, William proposed to leave Jack alone, maybe this was the time... overloading him with needless words wasn't the thing to do right now... and besides there were others wiser and closer to Jack than him that could help right now. At least they could help more than a stranger and an alien... "Rainbow!!!" he turns to Jack with a look of dissapointment, he had made Rainbow cry and this should have made him mad... but he knew better than to start a fight in a hospital. "You shouldn't push away those who are trying to help you... we are not your enemy. I'll come back... try to calm down please." Pushing, kicking, or whatever needed Dennis got away from the crowd. He finds Dashie sitting on a bench, and takes the liberty of sitting next to her.

"He doesn't know what he's saying right now Dashie..." he says refering to Jack "Please don't judge him from this moment..." he stops speaking for the moment he caresses her hair and back, he knows she needs support right now. He hugs her and pats her back "I know you mean good... and he knows that too... Just calm down..." he hopes his touch and caress can do the trick and calm her down. "Seeing you cry... it makes me sad too..."

Twilight walked out to the hall with the rest of the group.

"I don't think all humans are like that," Twilight said, "And besides, Jack is the last person I'd expect to blow up like that. I wonder what could have gone wrong..."

She was genuinely worried about Jack's welfare, as well as Rainbow Dash's.

"I still can't believe he said that to her... I hope she's okay..."

Jack laid his head down on the tissue paper that separated him from the rough, leathery medical bed. He always hated that about hospitals and medical clinics: the bed was the worst type of seat imaginable! He hated it more than injections, but right here, right now, Jack had to lay down somehwere to calm himself down. He took deep breaths, trying to stop his tears. A bit after everyone left the room, Catherine walked in. He figured she wanted to wait until everyone else was gone to talk to him. She asked him how he was feeling, in which he responded by sitting back up with a groan and a few more deep breaths. When he did sit back up, he just put his face in his hands, but said nothing. He didn't want to say anything that would hurt Catherine the way he did Rainbow Dash.

"I'm... I..." he stuttered, staring into her beautiful blue eyes, finding comfort in her presence. But Jack just couldn't formulate words, and broke back down into tears again. He couldn't believe how weak he was acting! The rage finally left his body, but in its place, left weakness, despair, and guilt.

"Yeah, that they do…" Colette said. "But I'm sure Jack had his reason, so let's leave him be for a bit, give 'em a few minutes, then we'll head back."

Rainbow Dash sat up straight off the back of the bench when Dennis sat beside her and began roving his hand over the back of her neck. She wasn't stupid; she was pretty sure that was a place casual friends wouldn't touch, and she started freezing up as goosebumps boiled over her frustration.

"Not crying," she grumbled sullenly. Now she had even more mental effort to deal with, trying to figure out how she was supposed to react to this. But eventually she gave up, she didn't feel like putting in the effort right, and decided to just stay put and endure it. "He still didn't have to be a total douche about it. I mean, sure it sucks! I get mad too! But..." growling wordlessly, she shook her strands of hair, trying to let go of it.

"First time anyone's apoligized to me for being brash," she said, and almost couldn't help laughing at that. "You humans are something else, you know that?"
That helped relaxed her, and she leaned against the bench, staring at the cheap ceiling tile and wondering what she felt like doing with her life. Or at least, what was left of it, giving the altogether scrambled circumstances. Twilight didn't know how to help her, she was starting to realize.

Colette knew all of those games, the last two especally. She'd destroy Fluttershy, and that would make her feel bad!

looking around again, Colette also spotted skee ball , air hockey and skill shot machines.
