private A vacation in Paris!

[Charcoal Embers 169]

"It doesn't mean it can't come back, right? The brain is a strange part of the body. And plus, I didn't laugh at you. I just laughed for no reason." Jack's left leg was shaking. Oh darn. "Okay fine!" Jack said "Your tail was tickling me. Alright? That's it. I didn't want you to worry about your heat problem. So I said nothing."

Charcoal stopper at what Jack had said, then she blushed and leaned her head as close to the ground as she could get it without eating gravel. "You need to tell me abouts these things Jack, you said you would keep me under control but it doesn't help much if you just let me continue on with what I'm doing."

"I said that if you went too far, I'd stop you. So if you're doing something small, I'll allow it. I don't think you know that I'm doing a favor for you." Jack stomped of to the restaurant "I'm sorry. I'm hungry. And I get grumpy when I'm hungry." Jack got to the doors and opened them. "After you."

Charcoal was still kind of upset at Jack for letting her do something so embarrassing in public but her thought process was interrupted by her stomach growling. "Alright." After walking in she sees that they aren't very crowded. She turns back to Jack. "Sorry about overreacting back there, and you are right I wasn't going too far. But at least stop me if I am doing something embarrassing like that in public please."

"Yes ma'am." Jack answered almost instantly. He pulled out a seat for Charcoal at a near table "Please, sit. Relax." Jack invited, trying not to get on her bad side. "I see there's a menu on the table for us." Jack looked closer on what was on the table. It wasn't pretty. "... and four forks, three knives, and two spoons." Jack was ticked, but he didn't want it to show.

"Thank you." Charcoal said as she sits in the seat Jack pulled out for her. She looks at the table and sees the assortment of utensils. Great it's one of these places. Charcoal thought to herself. "If you don't know, with each of out meals use the silverwear from the center out as we get different dishes."

"I never thought I'd have to eat at one of these places. Now I'm half expecting a strings quartet to start playing." Cheesy, fancy, posh, french, "romantic", fannies. Jack picked up the menu. "Filet hay with a side of... some strange french words. I have a terrible sense of eating locations."

"Well if you don't want to be here I'm sure we can find another place we can eat at." Charcoal said in an annoyed tone. "Personally I'm not a fan of places like this. Complicated utensil rules, small food portions, and to top it all off snobby ponies that I just wish would just die."

"I agree fully. Except for the 'all die' part." Jack stood up. Let's make a scene. Jack put on a mischievous grin. "Ace." Jack yelled in a great german accent "Zis restaurant doesn't suit our needs! Ve... are leavink!" Jack grabbed Charcoal by the hoof and fled the restaurant while yelling "Ve can take our business... ozer places!" once Jack was out the doors of the restaurant he was laughing like a comedian's audience.

Charcoal was blushing from the sudden contact with Jacks hoof. She was counting down the seconds till it ended yet she found herself holding him tighter. Then out of nowhere tears begin to streak down Charcoals cheeks. This really confused her, why was she just randomly crying.

Jack stopped laughing, but was still giggling a bit. "They were so surprised." Jack felt Charcoal's hoof grab tighter. Jack pulled his hoof away. "Hey. Sometimes I wonder if you really don't want to do that. Everytime I'm even close to you, you get closer or blush. Is it instinct? Or is your mind just telling you that?"

"It feels more like instinct I think." Charcoal explains now that her weird crying fit is over. "It's like I know what will and won't affect my heat yet whenever I find myself in situations like that I always find myself wanting more. Though I'm not entirely sure, I usually am not paying that much attention."

"It may feel like instinct, but want and lust is also instinct. Sort yourself out." Jack said a bit annoyed. "I don't know what I'm gonna do with you. When I agreed to take care of you, I didn't expect mood swings or constantly hunting down stallions." It was starting to get dark. Jack sighed. "I need to get all this stress outta my head. And you need some rest. You go to the hotel. And I'm going to the bar for a sandwich, and some stress repellent."

"I-I'm sorry I'm causing you such stress, I can't really help it if I'm in heat." Charcoal said in a sad voice. "Well I guess I'll see you another time then." Charcoal said sadly as she walked away and towards the direction of the hotel. Maybe it would be easier.if I just locked myself in my bedroom. Charcoal thought to herself as she walked away.

Jack saw her walk away. Nice going Jackmule you made a friend and scared her away. "Well. What would you have done?" I am you. Do you think that I'm a separate person with a separate mind? No. I'm you. You are me. Together you an I are we. We are the reason your parents left us. We are the reason all of Appleloosa hates us. and we are the reason she is not here being our friend. Jack never thought that he'd be talked off by his own brain. And never before has his brain made him cry.

Charcoal walked back to the hotel. After walking back to her room she locks her door with all of the locks and places her saddle bag down and heads to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror she finds that she had cried part way here, and that is what she starts doing now. She looks like a wreck as well so she just crawls into her bed and cries herself to sleep.

[Jack Spades 162]

Jack entered the bar. There were a few ponies. A bartender, two stallions playing darts, and 3 stallions at a table together playing cards. Jack continued to the counter where he was greeted by the bartender. He greeted him back. "Scotch, on the rocks." the bartender nodded and went to go get him the beverage. 

[Charcoal Embers 169]

After falling asleep Charcoal had nightmares once again. Though this time was different. This time it was about her parents and what they might do to her if they ever found her. And no matter where she ran they were always there, ready to get her again and again and again.

[Jack Spades 162]

The bartender placed the glass of scotch in front of Jack. "Thanks." Jack then chugged the whole glass at once. Instantly everything became a bit nicer. Jack didn't feel anymore stress. "A bottle of wine. Please. Chedenair if you have it." The bartender went to the back storage room to get the wine.

[Charcoal Embers 169]

Charcoal woke with a start, she was sweating. After a minute she remember why she was here, then she became sad again though she wasn't going to cry now. She got right out of bed and went to get her bags to go for a walk by herself, and she didn't care that she probably looker like a mess.

[Jack Spades 162]

"This wine's great." Jack said as he finished his third glass. "Beats sparkling cider any day." Jack was bored now. "Man, I'm bored" Look at those two guys playing darts. Jack looked at the two stallions throw a dart. The first dart was just a bit above the tiny bulllseye, and the other dart was just below, making the middle an impossible place to score. Jack went over to the three stallions playing cards and snatched a jack of spades when they weren't looking. Jack threw the card which spun through the air at a top speed and get the bullseye from in between the small space of the two darts. The two dart players quietly applauded Jack and called for the bartender to get him a beer on them.

Charcoal was walking through the streets of Paris alone at night, probably not one of her best ideas. She was just walking around till she stumbles upon a bar. She had never drank before, why not start now. Walking in she sits as close to the corner as she could and orders just the first thing that stuck out to her, a drink called Wild and Pegasus.

[Jack Spades 162]

Good thing it was karaoke night. "AAAND IIIIIIII... WILL ALWAYS LOOVE YOOOOOU." Jack got a nice applaud. "Thank you everypony. Who's up next?" Jack announced, obviously drunk. a mare of a teal color raised her hoof "Well come on up." she trotted up on the stage. Jack passed her the microphon and got off the stage. "Hey brain." Yeah? "Let's help Charcoal." Why? "Because she deserves to be helped." How are we gonna help her then? Jack stopped to think. "Idea. She's in heat, right?" Yes. "Why don't we do something about that?" What do you mean? Like... do something to her. "What are we talking about?" Jack hiccuped. Nothing buddy. Just about how tired we are and how we should go to bed. "Good idea. I love you man. And that's not... *hic* the alcohol talking."

[Charcoal Embers 169]

It wasn't a very pleasant first experience, but after the first two or three drinks she started to get a feel all warm and fuzzy inside. So she took another drink, and another, then she hit her second bottle, then a third. She was pretty drunk after that, though she had feeling she was told to do something from before. Stumbling out of the bar with a fourth unopened bottle of Wild and Pegasus in her hoof she starts stumbling her way back to where she thinks the hotel is.

[Jack Spades 162]

Jack walked out the bar. He was done. He had a good time. He gave others a good time. He'll come back for sure. Jack started walking back to the hotel. He was actually walking quite well for being massively drunk. Jack's pace started picking up. He didn't see a curb and tripped on it and fell on his face. He quickly got up no longer drunk. "Wow. I got hit to soberness." Not your first time. "Really?" Yeah. "Hm. You learn something new everyday."

Charcoal was having a bit of trouble getting back. Whenever there was a pony she would run into them, if there was a bump or anything she would trip over it.

@@Jack Spades

After a while she bumped into another pony again, only this one looked familiar. "Hey you, you look familiar. Have I seen you before?"
