Jet looked up from the top of the sandcraft to the sky, seeing the dark clouds that loomed overhead; he let out an annoyed sigh. "It's going to rain."

Virginia hearing Jet's comment looked up at the darkening sky.

"You're right." She stated as she went to the bow of the sandcraft, "Gallows, where's the nearest town? We don't want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere."

"Jolly Roger Cap'n."

"Alright, take us there."

"Aye Aye Cap'n!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The four soaked drifters made their way to the inn. They removed their cloaks, and then Virginia went over to the desk, while Jet, Gallows, and Clive went to a table.

"Excuse me, Hanna, are there any rooms left?" Virginia asked the woman at the front desk.

"Why we have two left, and ya welcome to 'em Virginia. Remember that the rooms come with a free meal so be ready to order when I get over there."

"Thanks Hanna." Virginia sighed with relief as she paid for the rooms. After paying Virginia made her way over to the table her party was sitting at and went to the only vacant seat.

"Okay, what do you guys want to eat?" Virginia asked; as so not to hold Hanna up on someone's order.

"Steak." Gallows replied, licking his lips.

"Chicken." Clive stated while concentrating on the novel he had bought at a near by book store.

"Jet, what do you want?" Virginia asked.

"I'm not that hungry; I think I'll just go to bed. Can I have the room key?"

"Sure, here." Virginia watched him go up the stairs, *I'm worried.* she thought as Jet disappeared from her view. *Jet hasn't eaten all day, maybe he's sick.*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jet made his way down the hall when he felt a great surge of pain run through his body making him collapse. *Not again!* Jet thought as another surge of pain ran through his body, he stopped a cry of anguish that had threatened to come out. With the help of the wall Jet was able to lift himself to his feet and into the room.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Virginia watched as their empty plates were taken away. She looked to see Gallows flirting with some of the local women, while Clive continued in his book.

*I think I'll go check on Jet* she thought with a good amount of worry in her as she got out of her seat. Virginia made her way up the stairs and into the room. When in the room she found Jet unconscious on the floor.

"Jet, Jet!" She gently shook him, "Jet!"

"Hmm?" Jet moved a little and opened his eyes, Virginia looked into his eyes, she gasp as she saw the pain that was in them, but it became hidden as Jet's awareness returned.

"A-are you okay?" Virginia asked as Jet lifted himself to his elbows.

"Yeah, I guess I'm just tired."

"Tired? Jet, you shouldn't lie."

"I-I'm not lying!" Jet stammered in his defense.

"Sure, and I'm the tooth fairy!"

"Who the hells the tooth fairy?" Jet asked blinking.

Virginia sighed, *Why did I say that?*

"Never mind." Virginia said as she began to leave. "Oh Jet, this time if you go to sleep use a bed." Jet flushed at this but hid it as well as he could until he heard the door shut, he soon got up off the floor, went to the nearest bed, and while he began drifting to sleep a thought popped into his head. *She didn't tell me who the tooth fairy was.*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Excuse me, Hanna?" Virginia shouted to her. "Can I have a steak dinner prepared?

"Yeah, but it will take 'round a half hour, is that 'k?" Hanna asked.

"Yes, that's fine!" Virginia smiled as she headed back to the table where Gallows was with a hand indent in his face, and Clive was reading his book.

"You still hungry?" Gallows inquired with disbelief.

Virginia blinked, "Yeah, I guess all that traveling gave me a bigger appetite than I thought."

"Well, at least we know you'll eat it all." Clive said looking up from his volume.

"Yeah, well I think I'll go eat in the room." Virginia stated as Hanna brought the dinner. "See you guys later!"

*That was close; I think I'll keep this stuff to myself, if Clive finds out he'll act like a father, which would just piss Jet off, and Gallows-* An image of Gallows running pleading for forgiveness and Jet firing off rounds of ammo like a mad man flashed in her mind, she gently giggled as she entered the room.

Virginia looked to see Jet was sleeping on the bed nearest to the door, she decided to take a closer look, and she took one step and instantly regretted it, the floorboard made a loud creak, awaking Jet.

Jet stared at her for a moment, then said, "Go away."

"Hey, we have to share this room, so it's mine too." Virginia stated as she walked over to his bed.

"I said go awa-." Jet was cut off as Virginia stuffed a piece of food in is mouth, he looked at her for a second before he swallowed. "Why did you do that?"

"You need to eat, so since you weren't going to get food anytime soon I got it for you."

"I already told you that I'm not hungry." Jet mumbled as he went to lie back down.

"No you don't" Virginia shouted as she pushed Jet back up. "You're going to eat something before you go back to sleep!"

"What are you? My mother?" Jet said in a cold and sarcastic voice.

"I'll act like it until you eat some food." Virginia snapped.

Jet sighed and opened his mouth as if he was going to say something but shut it before a word came out, he sighed again, however he took the plate from Virginia and began to eat the steak. *Why can I never win?*
