Ash raised the switchblade to her wrist, preparing to kill herself when suddenly she heard her bedroom door swing open hard. She looked up to see Two-bit standing in the doorway starring at her in horror.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Two-bit shouted. He lunged at her and wrestled the knife away from her. "I should have known better than to give a kid like you a weapon."

"What do you want?" Ashley asked bitterly.

"An explanation. Pony told me you had cuts all over your arms, what going on? Why are you doing that to yourself?" Two-bit asked shoving the knife in his pocket.

"Don't pretend to care Keith, I know you don't," Ash said, standing up from her desk chair, starring at him in the eye.

"Well, this may come as a shock to you, but actually I do care," Two- bit replied.

"What made you think I didn't?"

"Uh, you only kind of completely ignored me for the past four years," Ash said sarcastically.

"I didn't know you felt like that! I wasn't trying to ignore you, I thought you didn't like me!" Two-bit informed Ash.

"Really?" Ash asked, the expression on her face suddenly softening.

"Really." Two-bit said nodding his head.

"I like you, a lot in fact. Actually I love you, but I pretended not to because I thought you didn't like me," Ash admitted to her brother.

"Well, I love you too. I guess we both were wrong, huh?" Two-bit asked and hugged his sister. "Oh and by the way, don't ever call me Keith again. Call me Two-bit."

"Okay…Two-bit." Ash said and smiled.
