(Post Series 5- in theory a AU)

The city was about to destroyed- all in ruins- so the Mallrats not sure what else to do decided to go straight for the countryside. Amber knew where the Gaian's were this time and surely in an emergency like this- they'd offer a place to stay temporarily.

On the way, Ebony and Slade broke up after he found about a certain attempt to kill Ruby. Jay and Amber had a row- and were ya close to breaking up themselves. May had accepted Salene's judgment that they could only be friends- unaware Salene had an eye for a man- Amber's man.

They reached the Gaian camp- Amber managed to score them all a week of stay- but then they had to go- luckily May had found someone to transport them on a boat.

Jay dejected and upset took a seat at the end of the camp- where Salene joined him, "Hey Jay, are you okay?" she asked.

He looked at her, "Not really. I just don't understand Amber. One minute she wants me, the next she doesn't. It's been like this for months now. The mixed signals are starting to get to me. In my life there is someone who touches my life. Waiting near, waiting here and I thought it was her but apparently I'm wrong," he confessed.

"I'm sorry, I know it must be hard but if want the truth- I don't think she ever got over Bray," Salene told him.

"I know and that's why I told her to leave me earlier- which she agreed to," he said.

"Oh Jay…" Salene stared.

"No, it's okay. I saw this coming- what I should ask you is if you're okay?" Jay said to her.

"Why wouldn't I… oh… no, it's been a while, I think I'm finally over Pride," Salene said.

Jay smiled a little bit, "Well at least you're happy then, if one us is that's a win- win situation," he said deciding.

"Yea, thanks- and Jay…" Salene said slowly.

"Yea?" he asked.

Salene took a breath- it was now or never- and quickly kissed him- Jay was speechless as Salene moved to stand up, "You'll be fine Jay. There are others that care about you too".

(Other side of the camp)

Ebony was sitting sulking over the sight of Ruby and Slade when Hawk moved to join her, "I heard that you were left earlier for another woman, are you okay?" he inquired.

"Not really," she said gritting her teeth.

"I'm sorry, did you care for him?" Hawk inquired.

"Not as much as I should have," Ebony said finally.

"If I could do anything I would," he said.

"Not that you could," Ebony stated as she noticed Slade was turning to look at her and heading towards her.

"Or maybe you can," she decided quickly reaching over and kissing Hawk as Slade approached.

Hawk was taken back- he was being kissed- by a girl he hardly knew- with ex standing mere centimetres away.

Slade looked at her, "You enjoy doing this to people don't you Ebony?" he said.

"Doing what?" she asked with false innocence.

Slade growled slightly, "Never mind- I'm out of here," he said turning around and heading back to where Ruby was.

Ebony smirked looking at the still speechless expression on Hawk's face, "Thanks very much, don't be a stranger now," she said getting up and leaving.

Hawk turned to watch her go as she purposely moved her hips for effect- ever so thankful that Gaians were so- so helpful. She'd get Slade back now- jealously was already stirring and she would even get own toy on the side! Today was better than hoped for so many reasons and beyond.
