"So you really want me to whack over the head with this book after what I did to your leg?" Charcoal questioned with a bit of sarcasm. "Yeah sorry, but that isn't going to happen. I hurt you once already Jack and I'm not going to do it again. How about I try this instead." Charcoal walks up and puts her face by Jacks head. "Hey, voice in Jacks head. If you can here me give Jack a break in there. And if you even think about saying anything bad about Jack, you are just badmouthing yourself as well." Charcoal said with a smile.

Jack's mind was as quite as the ocean. Now the Tsunami came. She did not just say that! That was it. "Stop!" Jack yelled. "I'm ready to talk to you." Oh look. The little colt's here to grow some, eh? "I'm here to talk. What do you want?" I just want you to die. That's all. Is that so hard? "If I were to die. You'd die." Exactly. Your mind is messed up. It's crazy. Broken beyond repair. I don't want to live here. "So you... I don't want to live in me?" What if I told you that you had split personality disorder? '"Then I wouldn't believe you." Good, good. Do that to other ponies. Some ponies just want to lie to you.

Charcoal tried to stay calm on the outside but inside she was going nuts with questions. I really wish I hadn't winged this entire thing and I also wish I hadn't said that when I have wings. Charcoal wasn't sure she could really do anything at the moment so she sat back and waited for the right moment to come in.

Charcoal was watching Jacks mental argument when she hears a knock at the door. Getting up she walks over and opens the door. "Oh, It's you." Charcoal said in a sour tone. "What do you want? I'm kind of busy right now with a problem so if it isn't important you can just go away."

Spades felt the words hit her like a punch to the gut. Seeing the spot where she hit her with the bottle she felt even worse. Spades begins to speak with tears beginning to run down her cheeks "it...it was my fault." She says vaguely "it was my fault..." She simply said, with her head down, her eyes were almost invisible. she couldn't say anything more. It was all that could pass her lips.

"What?" Charcoal was getting much too confused for her own good. This wasn't at all the mare that fought her at the bar the other day. Maybe I should try and help her. But she... I should give her another chance. Approaching her she wrapped her arms around her in a hug. "I'm still not happy about what happened at the bar, but we all deserve a second chance. So why don't you talk about it."

"Um, I guess but a friend of mine is in here right now and he isn't exactly in the best of states right now." Charcoal said while moving to the side to allow Spades entry. "I guess if you are apologising I should as well. I'm sorry for being such a jerk before. I guess I got a little too protective of Jack, I am in heat after all."

"I'm Ace o' Spades, but please call me Spades, Ace is kind of a boys name..." She says blushing at her own name, her parents were expecting a colt and called her that. "Few hundred? Damn. I normally lift chairs and flip tables when I'm angry heh. Good times...sorta..." Spades says shrugging. "I don't really have a job I usually get my money from gambling.

"Well I'm a builder. I make all kinds of furniture, and even weapons. I don't normally break anything because I usually try and stay calm. Obviously I wasn't able to do that at the bar but if I ever do get upset or frustrated I can break things. That bookshelf over there is a good example." Charcoal points at the bookshelf laying on the floor broken in a few places.

[Jack Spades 162]

Aw. Won't you look at those two. They're not fighting. They're becoming friends. I liked them better when fighting. "Well I think it's nice." Jack whispered to himself "Two mares who brawled in a bar for a stallions attention become friends a day later. Doesn't that sound good?" She's french right? "Yeah. So?" Mm... Foreigner. You know.
