Hey...I am just writing this author's note to say that the below song
"That's The Way It Is" by LFO does not belong to me....I know it's a modern
day song but I just feel that the lyrics go with what Tempest is
feeling....So please don't get upset about the use of a present day
song.....Thanks~Molly

The Trouble Starts...
Tempest hummed softly to herself, trying to calm herself. "I don't wanna shout And I don't wanna scream And I don't wanna talk all night about these stupid things Because it's like that And that's the way it is....," she sang softly.
She jumped at the 'ahem' she heard behind her. She turned abruptly to find Jack standing there, shuffling his feet with his hands in his pockets. She smacked his arm a little too hard.
"Don't scare me like that!!," she snapped.
"Ow! Okay, okay. I didn't t'ink ya'd get so mad 'bout it," he said as he rubbed his arm. Then his eyes began to twinkle like they had in the restaurant. "I didn't know you would jump so high either."
Tempest felt herself blushing and cursed the bright sun. She turned away from Jack quickly and began striding away but his long legs caught up with her quickly. Still she didn't look over at him.
"I'se sorry if I upset ya, Mattie. I was jist joking around. 'Sides I thought ya was kinda cute jumpin' like dat," he said with a sweet smile.
This time Tempest looked over with a smile. "Oh really Cowboy? You found it cute that you scared me half to death?" She quirked an eyebrow questionly.
"Well....when ya put it dat way...," started Cowboy, trying to change tactics.
"Yes?"
"Um...maybe it was jist cute dat ya were singing like ya were...," he tried with a questioning look. He knew not to get on Tempest's bad side.
Tempest burst out laughing at his feeble attempt at covering up. "Nice....try...Cowboy," she said between laughs. Jack quickly joined in on her laughter. He loved hearing her laugh.
"So Cowboy, is there a particular reason you came and scared me?," she asked when they calmed down.
"I..uh...jist t'ought ya might want some company while ya sell." He paused. "I also wanted ta apologize fer how Spot was treatin' ya." He scratched the back of his head, obviously uncomfortable. Tempest began to laugh as she watched him. He turned startled brown eyes towards Tempest, who bit her lip to keep from laughing at his facial expression. "What's so funny?"
"You don't have to apologize for that a**hole," she stated with a grimace as she remembered how cruel Spot had been. "I was laughing Cowboy because you look so cute when you are uncomfortable." She reached up and gently brushed his long sandy brown hair out of his eyes.
"Is dat so, Miss Tempest?," teased Jack as he cupped her cheek in his hand.
"Yes, that's so," she murmured. She watched Jack lean forward, closing his eyes. *This is it,* she thought. *He's going to kiss me.*
"Aww...ain't dis sweet?," sneered a voice. Tempest's eyes flew open and she stood frozen. Jack pulled away and glared over her head.
"What do ya want Oscar?," Jack growled, his voice filled with irritation.
"Oh, da same t'ing you want Cowboy. Jist some fun wid da local whores." Jack's body tensed at the insult but Tempest spun around and lashed out before he could.
"Why don't you go screw yourself, Oscar? Or better yet, why don't you take out your sexual frustration on your brother? I'm sure the moron would enjoy it," Tempest spat out.
Oscar stalked up to her and got within inches of her face. "I told ya before not ta insult my bruddea."
Jack pushed Tempest behind him before she could reply and grabbed Oscar by the front of his shirt. "If I evea see ya talk ta my goil like dat again ya'll wish ya 'ad never met da Cowboy and Tempest. Now scram Oscar." He pushed Oscar away from him.
Oscar raised his hands in mock defense as he slowly backed up. "Guess Sapphire's speech was all a joke, huh Tempest? Dis ain't ovea Cowboy." He turned and stormed off down the street.
"What was he talkin' 'bout? What speech?," asked Jack as he turned to face Tempest.
"I'm not sure but I have an idea. Where does Sapph sell?," she asked before hitting herself in the head. She turned quickly. "How stupid am I? She's at the tracks with Race."
Jack watched her take off for the tracks. He shook his head, not understanding what was happening. One minute he was going to kiss her and the next he was watching her run off. Then a thought hit him. *Did I jist call 'er my goil in front of Oscar?*
He shook his head once more and then headed off to Tibby's hoping to run into KidBlink so that he could get some advice.
