I do not own the movie Young Guns or any of it's actors or copyrights.

The group rode into the small town of Juarez. As they entered the gates the people started cheering "Chivato! Chivato!" over and over again. They patted Billy's horse and called to him like he was a celebrity.

"Jesus Christ, you'd think he won the lottery instead of killing people." Doc said, dismounting.

"As long as they don't start screaming Wildcat then I like it here." Ember commented.

Billy came over to them and asked for Doc to follow him. Doc looked nervous about being alone with Billy but he obliged. Ember walked with Chavez while the others separated. They walked around for awhile until they spotted Steve by some mules drinking whiskey. He seemed to be in deep thought. Ember looked around again and saw Charley looking at some girl. Ember grinned and then looked up at Chavez.

"What?" he asked.

Ember gave him a little push toward Steve, "You deal with him and I'll deal with Charley," she said. Chavez gave her a questioning look. He had also adopted the habit of not letting Ember out of his sight.

Ember rolled her eyes, "Fine sit here and watch and then go talk to Steve," she said, crossing her arms.

Chavez gripped one of her arms and pulled her closer to him, "Or, you stay right here and we forget about it," he told her smirking.

Ember narrowed her eyes playfully at him. She leaned up and kissed his lips softly. "I'll be right back," she whispered then disappeared in Charley's direction. Chavez shook his head and watched as she went to talk to Charley.

Ember tapped Charley on the shoulder and he almost jumped out of his skin.

Ember laughed, "Why don't you go talk to her?" Ember asked.

The girl Charley was staring at was very pretty. Her hair was pulled up in a tight bun on her head. She was watching two children, who Ember guessed were her brother and sister, playing with goats. Charley stayed quiet, he looked like he was trying to make a really hard decision.

Ember giggled then she gave him a soft push, "Go on." she said softly. Charley looked at her with wide, confused eyes.

"What do I say?" he asked her.

Ember laughed. "Hi, for starters." she suggested.

"Now," she said, straightening his collar and checking his hair, "Go lay on that Bowdre charm. And be polite, courteous, and calm. You'll do fine," she told him

She gave him a once over then turned him towards the girl. "Now, go on," she laughed then pushed him a little harder this time. Charley obeyed this time but stopped a couple feet away and turned back.

He looked over her shoulder at Chavez. "Ember, how do you know if you're in love?" he asked.

Ember smiled at him, "You'll know, Charley, you'll know." she told him then stepped forward kissing his cheek and hugging him as she did so.

Then she turned and walked back to Chavez. From there the two watched as Charley walked over to the girl.

Ember nudged Chavez in the side, "Your turn," she told him.

Chavez sighed, "Stay where I can see you." he told her. Then he walked over to Steve. The two looked awkward sitting there. The boys just sat there for a few moments in silence.

"Damn good riding with ya, Chavez," Steve finally said.

Chavez smiled a little, "Many nights my friend… many nights I put a blade to your throat while you were sleeping. Glad I never killed you, Steve, you're alright," he said holding his hand out to Steve.

Steve looked over at Ember but then shook Chavez's hand carefully.

Chavez grinned then released and walked back to Ember.

"Was that really necessary?" she asked as they turned and started walking away.

"To me it was." he told her smiling. The two walked around for awhile, milling around and talking. Chavez told Ember about his mother's people. He told her he was about the same age Ember had been, when she had lost her family, when his people had been murdered.

Ember told him about Tennessee. She told him about the Smoky Mountains, her home, and how she used to travel by herself for hours in the woods. She smiled and leaned her head on Chavez's shoulder as they walked. Some of the villagers stared at them but none of them were rude.

After awhile, Steve came running up to them. He was completely out of breath. "Steve, are you all right?' Ember asked him, worried.

"Ch..Cha.. Charley's getting married" he announced.

"What!" Ember exclaimed.

Ember watched as Steve danced with his new bride. Her name was Sophia and she was the same girl Ember had told him to go talk to earlier that day. Doc was sitting away from the crowd, reading. Billy was somewhere talking about his adventures to a little boy. She laughed as she saw Steve dancing with an old woman. Then she saw Chavez dancing with a little girl. Ember smiled softly.

She walked around the wall onto the other side where Chavez was. Ember tapped the little girl on the shoulder, "Can I cut in?" she asked the girl. The little girl's eyes lit up when Ember spoke. Ember smiled at her then removed a gold chain, with a small golden heart on it, from around her neck. She took it and placed it around the little girl's neck. The child grinned at her then jumped down from Chavez's arms and ran off.

Ember laughed as she watched the girl run off then she felt one of Chavez's arm go around her waist. She placed her arms around his neck and they started swaying. Ember looked over at Charley as he stared into his wife's eyes.

"He looks happy." Ember said.

Chavez looked in the same direction and smiled as well.

"That he does." he commented.

"It didn't take him long to find a wife." Ember joked.

Chavez gripped her waist tighter, "How long do you think it will take you?" he asked.

Ember smirked, already knowing what he was playing at. Ember replied by tightening her arms around his neck, "I already have. And I hope he feels the same way because I tend to not give him up until the spirit horse comes for either me or him." she admitted openly.

Chavez leaned down and kissed her hard and then pulled back, "I don't think you have to hope." he whispered. "I don't know how any man could stay away from you." he told her.

Chavez was about to say something else but the next thing she heard was a shot ring out, silencing the music and talking around them.

The two looked around startled and began reaching for reaching for their weapons. The little girl Ember had given the necklace to had come back to them, to thank Ember. The child gasped and ran to Ember's side. There she clutched Ember's leg. Ember reached down and touched the child's shoulder, comfortingly. Ember gripped Chavez's hand tightly.

"Regulators! Let's saddle up!" Billy called.

Ember exhaled in relief.

Billy looked over at her, "Hey, Wildcat, find yourself a kid? Didn't even have to spread, huh?" Billy joked.

Ember narrowed her eyes but didn't retaliate. Instead, she picked up the little girl and handed her to Chavez. Chavez carried her to a woman who had her arms out. The girl waved at Ember as she walked by, Ember smiled softly and waved as well.

Ember followed behind Chavez as they walked to where there horses were. Ember saw Charley, still holding Sophia. She waved at him and mouthed the words, "Good Bye," as she walked forward. The others mounted their horses and sat in front of the crowd. Ember looked back and saw Charley trying to tell Sophia that he was leaving.

Ember widened her eyes at him and mouthed "No!" but he ignored her.

"Hey, Charley? Maybe you should stay," Billy told him, "you can't shoot worth a piss any how."

Ember blinked, "He's trying to get him to stay?" she thought surprised. "Besides your girl's crying she's really giving me a head ache." Billy added

"Charley you've got a wife now, you should stay." Doc supplied Charley kissed his wife and handed her to her mother. Then walked over and mounted his horse, "It ain't easy having pals." was all he said.

As they were riding out, Ember rode up to Charley, "Are you crazy! Why didn't you stay?" she demanded.

Charley looked at her sheepishly, "What would you all do without a pugilist?" he replied then rode to catch up with Steve.

Doc and Chavez rode up on either side of Ember.

"Don't worry, Amor. Charley is strong, he knows what he's doing," Chavez told her gently.

Ember glared at Billy's back, "Yeah, but does Billy?" she questioned angrily. Chavez didn't answer her this time.

Doc cleared his throat from beside her, "Whatever happens, we better get out of there fast when we get the chance." he said.

Ember and Chavez nodded. Any of them weren't ready to lose the fight or each other.
