A/N: For the request of Simon Seville, I'm writing another chapter for this because I'm in school and bored... To the story...


SHOWDOWN (chapter 2)

Simon's POV

I woke up next to my wife, Jeanette, who was still sleeping.

I thought that she was the most beautiful thing ever existed and kissed her forehead gently to wake her up.

"Uhh... Simon... I don't want to get up yet." She groaned as I stared at her now open beautiful, purple eys, which shimmered after night.

"Me neither, but I've got something important to do. I'm the sheriff after all." I said warmly, not wanting to worry her.

"What is it this early in the morning?" She asked

"I've got to go talk to my brother." I said and Jeanette completely woke up and almost jumped out of the bed. "you what?"

"I said I'm going to talk to my brother"

"Why? He just tried to kill you yesterday and you don't even know where he is! He may even have left the village already"

"He hasn't left the village if I know him." I said and sighed "You've got to trust me Jeanette. Nothing bad is going to happen"

"But...but... but if something WILL happen. I can't take care of Amanda all by myself!"

"Jeanette" I said very peacefully "There's nothing to worry about. I'm going to come back, I promise" I said and placed my paw on her cheek and she started crying.

"But I don't want you to go..." She said between tears.

"But I must go. I have to fix one REALLY old mistake I've made with him."

"What is it?"

"I can't tell you" I said and looked away

"You can't tell!" she said and it looked like she would start crying again.

"No, I can't and you've got to understand that. This time Jeanette, trust me"

She seemed to compose herself after she heard those words and she spoke. "I always trust you Simon. You're my husband and I trust you from the bottom of my heart" she said and sighed "Okay, go then, but promise you will come back. look in to my eyes and promise me that."

I moved my face closer to her's and looked deep in her eyes "I promise Jean" I said and kissed her for a proof.

"Okay, go then, but be back before noon. I'm going to make some brakfast for Amanda"

"Mommy... why are you awake so early..." A voice was heard from the doorway. Amanda stood there, rubbing her eye with her small paw.

"Mommy and daddy were just talking, that's all. Why won't you just go to the kitchen and mommy will come down soon and make you breakfast" I said and placed my paw on her shoulder.

"O-okay..." She said and walked away dragging her teddy bear on the floor.

"I will come back. For you and Amanda" I said and turned back to my wife.

"I know. Be back soon" She said and walked away to find my clothes. She handed them to me "go get them my sheriff"

I smiled. I had the best wife in the world. I took the clothes, put them on and took my jacket and hat and walked out the house.


I walked towards the place I haven't been for a long time. It seemed to be just the same as I remembered it.

An old house, covered in grass, moss, and other plants. It looked like it would fall down at any moment because it was leaning against a large oak. The windows were broken and the frames didn't even exist anymore. I grabbed to door handle and pulled, but the whole door fell down from its hinges. I looked in, it was exactly the house I remembered. the red paint on the inner walls, was almost completely worn out. only a couple of shreds of it were hanging from the walls. The stove was rusty and the fireplace seemed to be a somekind of a nest for some animal.

I looked around the house and couldn't do anything else but to be amazed. I didn't think it would still look so same.

"So you came here after all. So predictable little brother."

"And I htought I would find you here too" I said and turned to the direction of the voice. It was Alvin, my older brother, leaning to the doorframes and a large stetson on his eyes.

"So... I guessed you would come, but I didn't know why, so you could as well explain." Alvin said and lifted his head so that I could see his face completely. there was a large scar on his eye and it went all the way to his chin.

"I'm here to talk with you, so please tell your "gang" to get out of here." I said in a demanding tone

"That's obvious that you want to talk with me, but no, I won't tell my "gang" to go away." he said and smirked at me.

"Fine... I'll talk you here now."

"Good choice" he said and lowered his hand from a pistol. I hadn't noticed that before. He could have shot me when I was talking and wouldn't have known what hit me.

Now I was very aware. I knew that he had been the most wanted criminal of the west for a long time, but didn't expect anything like this. Was he really willing to shoot his own brother?"

"So... you want to continue?" Alvin said and quicly glanced outside to see his assistants, who were prepared to shoot at command.

"Yes." I said and alvin turned his head back at me "go on..."

"We had a VERY unfair childhood." I said quickly not wanting to delay it anymore.

"I HAD A VERY UNFAIR CHILDHOOD! You always got away with nothing! I always got punished even though it was always your fault!" Alvin exclaimed. I had never seen his expression to change so quickly.

"I know... I know... And now I'm here to apologize"

"Too little too late" Alvin said "Remember that one day..."

..Flashback..

I was playing on the yard of our house with my older brother Alvin. He had just returned from the villages well and we were drinking clean water from the buckets he had carried.

"This water always tastes the best when you carry it" I said and he laughed

"Si... It's always the same water, no matter who carries it. Me, mom, neighbour..."

"Dad" I said and turned sad and started crying.

"Oh Si... don't be sad, you always have me." alvin said and hugged me warmly. Our dad had died when I was 3 years old in a mining accident. I still remembered that day like it had been yesterday.

"I know Alvin. I'll always have you" I said and started smiling. He always made me happy.

"O- BOO, hoo, hoo! look who's crying for his dad again" a voice said. It belonged to the villages bully, James.

"Stop teasing him! He's 4 years younger than you are!" Alvin said and moved in front of me

"Who cares?" James said and grabbed Alvin from his arm and threw him aside and walked towards me. I felt huge fear. He had teased me very often and usually it wasn't just mental, but physical. I tried to flee, but my legs were like glued to the gound and I couldn't move aside from that huge closing shadow.

"Look who's so tough now, when I beat your little brother" James said and took another step towards me, but then he yelled very hard. "Damn you Brat! That was my eye... OUCH!" he yelled again when another, larger rock hit his forehead, which started bleeding and he collapsed on the gound.

"That's for teasing my brother!" Alvin yelled and I looked at him with my 7 year old eyes and from my point of view, he looked heroic.

"You're going to regret that!" James yelled and started caressing his eye.

"What's going on here!" alvin's and Simon's mother said as she walked out the house. She was wearing an apron around her dark brown chipmunk body.

"Alvin threw a rock at me!" James said sounding pathetic.

"ALVIN! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!" She yelled very hard and shot many death glares at Alvin.

"But, I was just protecting Simon from James..." alvin sobbed. he was on the edge of crying.

"NO EXCUSES! YOURE GROUNDED FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR!" She said and pulled alvin's ear and dragged him inside and slammed the door behind her.

"That's just good for him" James said and turned away.

Loud yelling and a spanking sound was heard inside. It was Alvin who had been spanked by his mother.

I started crying. this wasn't the first time Alvin got in trouble beacause of me.

"Im sorry alvin" I whispered

..End of flashback..

"That was SO unfair!" Alvin exclaimed.

"I agree but that's the past." I said trying to calm him down.

"I know it's in the past, but it has left a bitter taste in my mouth and I'm here to take vengeance on you!" Alvin exclaimed and pulled out his pistol, but I had already pulled out mine.

"Why did you miss on purpose at the first place then" I said

"Because I happened to see a nice looking metal target behind you! Why didn't you shoot me?"

"I didn't shoot you because I didn't want to. You're my brother no matter what! And you're lying, you just couldn't do it. You're grown weak." I said and Alvin shot the hat off my head and started crying.

"I will shoot you this time!" He said as tears rolled down his cheeks. he looked so miserable that I lowered my gun and put it in its case.

"Don't! I will shoot!"

"Go ahead"

"I wil do it! I promise!"

"then shoot!" I provoked, sure that he wouldn't do it.

"I... I... I can't. You're still my brother..."

"And you are mine" I said and held out my paw and Alvin gave me his gun and I dropped it on the ground.

"So... "

"No need to talk. You've never been good at it. So, how would you and your group come to our place for a dinner and we could talk in a lighter atmosphere." I said sincerely

"that sounds good. I haven't eaten in two days." Alvin said

"then join me. My wife is the best cook."

"Is it Jeanette, I mean, the crush from your childhood." Alvin said and I smiled "so I guess she is."

"And who are those two girls of your group?"

"Oh... other is Whitney and the other is called Brittany" Alvin blushed when he said the last name. I laughed.

"Never seen an outlaw blush"

"there's many things you haven't seen brother."

"And I'm sure you haven't seen so good food that Jean cooks."

"I'm already drooling" Alvin said and they grabbed each others shoulder and walked out.
