private A vacation in Paris!

[Jack Spades 162]

Charcoal took a bite from her "sandwich". She was satisfied with how it tasted and nodded at the waiter and let him leave. She began eating her sandwich until she heard a voice from behind her, one that was scarily familiar. "Well now honey, look who we found all the way out in Paris." She thought the voice was talking about her so she turned around. When she saw who it was she was so shocked she dropped her sandwich.

Jack saw that Charcoal dropped her sandwich. "Hey sweetie. Are you okay? What happened? Now that sandwich is ruined." Jack saw two full grown ponies walk in towards his and Charcoal's table. Their eyes were set on Charcoal. "Hey Charcoal, who are those two ponies who are heading towards us?"

Jack saw that Charcoal dropped her sandwich. "Hey sweetie. Are you okay? What happened? Now that sandwich is ruined." Jack saw two full grown ponies walk in towards his and Charcoal's table. Their eyes were set on Charcoal. "Hey Charcoal, who are those two ponies who are heading towards us?"

Charcoal couldn't do a thing as the two of them walked towards her. She couldn't even answer Jacks question she was so shocked. Oh, why here? Why did they have to be here? 'Yeah, this definitely isn't good.' Charcoal looked back at Jack with fear in her eyes as the ponies arrived. "Well look at that, it really is her, it's. Charcoal." The mare said to the stallion.

"Well greetings! You know Charcoal? Nice, you must be old friends." Jack held out his hoof "Put her there. I'm Jack. Jack Spades. I'm Charcoal's new friend. Who are you?" Jack was oblivious to what was going on. Jack looked at Charcoal who was still looking scared. Two and two finally was put together. Oh. Oops.

Jack was oblivious to what was going on. Jack looked at Charcoal who was still looking scared. Two and two finally was put together. Oh. Oops.

"Who are we? Why we are Charcoals parents." Charcoals mother said with a smile. "And I didn't know that Charcoal here could make friends, last I checked she wasn't even aloud to talk to strangers." Charcoals mother said. Charcoals father comes up to Jack and gives him a quick once over. "Not a very strong fella are you?" Charcoals father asks Jack.

Jack awkwardly chuckled "Never was." Jack tried his best to stay on their good side. "You both caught us by surprise. We were here just grabbing something to eat. We weren't expecting visitors to pop up out of no where." Jack looked to Charcoal. "It's so nice to meet you."

"Oh look, we have a nice one here." Charcoals mother says in annoyance. "Look just cut the act kid and tell us how many bits she is paying you to make her feel wanted, we can pay you double to leave her alone." Charcoals mother says to Jack.

 

Charcoal wanted to run but there wasn't a good place to run to so she was forced to just sit there and watch.

"Oh thank you. Cutting the act was something I wanted to do since I first saw you." Jack cleared his throat. "You two are horrible parents. Look how uncomfortable Charcoal here is." Jack pointed to Charcoal "That's you doing that. And she's not paying me to be her friend. I'm lucky to have her as a friend. You have a great daughter. So if you fail to see that I'm going to have to ask you to leave us."

Both of Charcoals parents look over at Charcoal. When they looked Charcoal squealed and hid herself Behring a chair. They look back at Jack with a smile. Charcoals mother was the first to speak. "She looks normal to me, or st least how I'm used to seeing her. And sorry to say, but we have just as much right to be here as you. So..." Charcoals parents both bring up a chair to the table Charcoal and Jack are sitting at. "There."

 

When she saw that her parents were moving closer Charcoal scooted her chair so it was further from them and closer to Jack.

"Listen. I'm not afraid of you. So you can say whatever you want to me. You can beat me up, blackmail me, threaten me, but you've got nothing on me. I have nothing to live for. And I'm not giving up Charcoal like you think I will." Jack sat closer to Charcoal "You two don't even know what we've been through together."

Charcoals mother giggles at Jacks little display of protecting Charcoal. "Silly boy, we aren't here to do anything to Charcoal. And you don't have a reason to be afraid of us either. How about we just make amends and put the past behind us?" She reaches a hoof out as a sigh of friendship that Charcoal cowers from.

Jack saw Charcoal cower away. Jack tried to hold her and to calm her. Jack looked at her parents. 'What have you two done to her to have her act like this?" Jack hugged Charcoal "It's okay. I'm here. Right here." Jack said to trying to calm her down. "Everything will be okay."

Charcoals mother retracts her hoof from the table. "Hey, it isn't our fault she can't handle a little bit of pain." Charcoals mother says with a shrug. Then her father speaks up. "This is what is wrong with you Charcoal, dating an earth pony, Bah. Though I guess it is sort of appropriate for you, considering your condition."

"Hey, hey. I would have loved to be a Pegasus. But just 'cause you don't like my kind doesn't mean you can be speciest about it. And OCD is very common in ponies nowadays. You can't blame her just because of a little disorder." 'I say you punch them. In the face.' Who says I don't want to?

Charcoals father gives Jack a hard look. "I don't mean her brain disorder, I ment her wing disorder. Without use of her wings she J's pretty much just an earth pony." He explains. Charcoals mother stands up and stretches out. "Well I need to use the little fillies room. Charcoal, why don't you come with me and we can have a little chat." She says as began to walk back inside.

 

Charcoal didn't want to but she felt herself begin to walk to follow ber mother anyway.

Jack didn't say anything when. Charcoal's mother took Charcoal to the bathroom. He looked down at his sandwich and then at Charcoal's father "I lost my appetite." Jack said as he pushed the sandwich away from him. Jack looked at Charcoal's father again "If you want it you can have it."

Crystal stopped in front of the building. "Yes. I noticed because of the large sign that said "Barber" on it." She said in a sarcastic manner. *I will think over it later* "This will not take long so do not worry." She walked into the building, sitting down and asking for her hair to be evenly cut. The Barber didn't bother to question why her hair was green after she took her hat off, and just got to work.

Quill noticed Crystal's green hair. Weird, he thought. Last time I checked, it was black and red. And her tail... He stared at it. It was the same green as her mane, instead of the light pink it used to be. He brushed it off, though he was a little confused. It was probably some girl thing. He never did understand fashion.

Crystal was eventuall done with the haircut and was impressed with the job they had done. Even if she was embarressed about the green hair. She put her hat on as soon as she could and went over to quill. "I am almost done, just hang on a little longer while I pay."

Charcoal had meet her mother in the restroom. Things had started out well enough, until they were alone. That is when she grabs Charcoal by the neck and forces her against the wall. "What do you think you are doing with him? Do you think I have forgotten?" She gets really close to Charcoals ear. "Here is what I want you to do. Break all relations you have with that stallion and meet me in the abandoned house across the street from here tonight, got it?" Charcoal nods furiously. "Good." She drops Charcoal down and leaves her there. When she gets back Charcoals parents. Both say goodbye and leave.

'Let me at 'em! Let me at 'em! Let me at 'em!' No! "Have a day." Jack said, purposely leaving out the 'nice'. 'We gotta do something about those two.' Only if they do something to Charcoal. But I can't help but wonder what they want with Charcoal. What's their goal? 'Pure evil?' Nice one.

Charcoal slowly made her way out of the restroom. She was shaking a little bit from fear of her parents being here of all places. She walks back to the table and slides under it. She then just curls up in a ball and hopes this is all just a horrible nightmare.

Jack saw Charcoal crawl under the table. "Sweetie?" Jack slowly went under the table accidentally hitting his head once or twice. Jack rubbed his head as he saw Charcoal up in a ball. "Hey honey, are you okay? Those mean ponies are gone now." Jack softly said as he started to put his arms around her. "Tell me what's wrong. What did your mother say to you?"

Charcoal flinched at Jacks touch. She got out from under the table and looker at Jack, tears starting to form in her eyes. "I'm sorry." She whispered. Then she ran away. She began running back to the hotel on her own. If she was thinking straight she would have thought to just hide out until her parents left, but she wasn't thinking straight.

"No! Charcoal wait!" Jack tried to get out from under the table but massively hit his head on the table. "Oh Celestia!" Jack was on the ground with his arms wrapped around his head. Then he heard Charcoal apologizing then run away. "No wait!" Jack held out his hoof. He couldn't get up. His head hurt too much. Some of the ponies in the café were looking at him weirdly. Jack felt like an idiot. "Move along, nothing to see here." he said trying to stand.

Charcoal ran all the way to the hotel she was staying at. She ran up the stairs to her room and brought out her key. But she quickly figured out it wasn't the key to her room. Remembering that Jack had left his key in her bag she thought that she should stay in his room instead, he wouldn't think to look for her there. She walked over to Jacks room and used to key to open the door. She walks in but forgets to lock the door behind her. She goes and lays down on the bed.

Jack finally got up and started running to the hotel. He ran up the stairs but slipped on the last step and his chin fell on the floor. He didn't feel the pain. He got back up and went to Charcoal's room. He turned the knob but the door was locked. Jack instantly broke down crying. He fell on the floor in front of the door to Charcoals room "P-p-please... don't leave me..." Jack quietly wailed. "My parents did it... My friends did... the whole town abandoned me." Jack said, his voice and his crying grew louder. "Oh my Celestia... I have abandonment issues." Jack winced as tears covered his face.
