A/N: I originally intended for this to be a one-shot but my brain keeps firing and the reviews are so inspiring.

The Talk

Gillian's Billiard Café

Bridge watched as Jack talked to the waitress, feeling nervous after Jack suggested that they needed to talk. He had a feeling this was not going to be a fun talk, more like a what the hell are you doing with my sorta kinda little sister kind of talk.

"We'll start with two beers and two shots of whiskey," Jack winked at the waitress. She laughed and winked back at him before leaving for the bar. Jack turned his attention back to Bridge.

"What do you feel like playing?" Jack asked as he approached the pool table.

"Z and I usually just play solid and stripes." Bridge reached for the triangle to rack the balls.

"Are you getting any good?"

"Z still beats me very time but she says I'm starting to get the hang of it."

Jack went over to the cues and picked one out, "You and Z have been spending lots of time together lately."

Bridge gulped nervously, "Yeah, it's been really great."

The waitress came back with their drinks and set them on the table. Jack motioned to Bridge to come over. He held up the shotglasses and handed one to Bridge.

"To you and Z!" They clinked the glasses together and both drank the fiery liquid down. Jack savored the feeling and reacted slightly to the alcohol while Bridge coughed and sputtered. Jack motioned again for Bridge to break. He walked to the table and was about to break.

"So, Bridge!" Jack interrupted, "What are your plans for Z?"

Bridge missed the cueball by a mile. "What?"

"Go ahead and take your shot," Jack said amused as he watched Bridge weakly hit the balls. Jack got up to take his shot. "What are your plans for Z?"

"Well tomorrow, I was going to make some of my special cinnamon sugar toast, extra buttery," Bridge waggled his fingers, "for breakfast and.."

"No Bridge, I meant your plans for the future."

"Ohhhh!" Bridge smacked his forehead, "There's this computer convention this weekend, I was planning to go with Boom but I guess I should ask Z if she wants to come too. Do you think that's a good idea? She always watches me when I work on my upgrades. Maybe she doesn't like computers at all and she just wants to spend time with me or maybe she does like it and she'd want to go, or maybe she'll just say yes because I asked though she doesn't seem like the type to say yes just to please someone, or maybe.."

"Bridge!" Jack yelled overwhelmed by babble, "That's not what I meant either! Z is very important to me. She's the closest thing I got to family and I look out for family. I just want to know what your intentions are."

"I've never really thought about it and I usually think about a lot of things. All I know right now is that I care about her and I want to be with her all the time."

Jack looked at Bridge, "You don't have much experience do you?"

"With girls?" Bridge shook his head, "Z is the first girl I've dated. Most girls think I'm too goofy and weird. They mostly go for Sky."

"He's too stuffed up to notice."

"Yeah, he's had to forego all that stuff to become a ranger. Besides, me and Z have only been dating for a little bit. Do I really have to think about our relationship?"

Jack went over to Bridge and patted him on the shoulder, "Man, you have a lot of work ahead of you. Well, as your leader and red ranger and all time Casanova, you can come to me for any advice."

"Thanks Jack. Is there anything you can tell me right now?"

"Sure about what?" The game of pool was forgotten as they sat down at a nearby table.

"Can you tell me about sex?"

Jack looked at Bridge, "WE NEED FOUR MORE SHOTS!" he yelled out to the waitress. "Bridge, I'm not sure that's a subject that I feel too comfortable with."

"But Jack, I have no idea what I'm doing! Kissing is great but what if Z wants more or if she's more experienced? Is she more experienced?"

"Whoah! I think Z would kill me if I answered that." Jack put his hands up, "How experienced are you?"

Bridge mumbled, "I'm a virgin."

"What?"

"I'm a virgin."

"Can you say that louder Bridge?"

"I'M A VIRGIN!" The whole club froze at Bridge's exclamation. It settled back down as a blush settled along Bridge's cheeks.

Jack laughed, "It's alright buddy. It's perfectly fine to be a virgin. Let's just say that I'm not surprised that you are."

"Is there anything you could tell me?"

"Just relax, let things take their course. Z is pretty straightforward, she'll let you know when she's ready."

Bridge let out a sigh of relief, "I think I'll let her take lead on a lot of things."

"If I listened to that I would probably have longer relationships, let the woman lead." Jack chuckled, "One last thing Bridge."

"What's that?"

"If you ever hurt Z, I'm gonna have to kill you."

Bridge looked Jack straight in the eye, "I would never let anything happen to her. I would die first."

Jack searched Bridge's eyes and found he liked what he saw, "You're a good man. I give you my seal of approval."

"Can I call you big brother?" Bridge smiled.

"No, let's get back to the game." Jack slapped Bridge on his back and they turned back to the pool table.
