AN: Well. I realized that this is going to be a very long story. I like writing in detail about whatever next pops into my mind, as long as it mostly fits with the story line. I realized that I don't really care if anyone reads it, because I just like writing it when I'm bored.

This is actually an extension of Chapter 2, but my computer got a virus, so I'm using my brother's and don't have the file. That's why it's so short.

I went to Toronto on the train and wrote this, so enjoy and drop a review.

Jazlyn had no time to worry about the fight, as she only had half an hour to do her hair and put on a bit of make up. That would still leave her a bit of time to get to the dinning room.

She had her hair curled and all pinned up and was just putting on a bit of pink lip gloss that made her lips all shiny, when Mark knocked on the door and just walked in. There was about 10 minutes until she had to leave for the dinning room, and he was not ready for supper.

"So who was the girl this time." Though Jazlyn tried hard not to judge him, it was hard not to at times like this.

He was a mess. His short brown hair was all tossed about. He had lip marks in lipstick on his chest and neck, and red scratch marks on the back of his neck. Fortunately, he had thrown on good clothes but they were all inside out and ruffled. His shirt was even untucked and on backwards

"It was Melissa, one of the pretty gardeners, if you must know. I just found out that supper's all fancy, and I need help. Please."

She didn't approve of him casually sleeping with girls, but he was careful, and her brother, and she loved him. She sighed, "All right, come here and sit."

He obediently sat on her bed and fixed his hair. She put in a bit of hair jell to make sure I stayed. She sat down beside him with a washcloth and started lightly rubbing off the lipstick. When that didn't work, she scrubbed viciously at it.

"Oww. Not so hard!"

"It's the only way it'll come off. Now stay still." She said as she scrubbed the last bit off. Jazlyn got up, put the washcloth away, and got some of her make up. It was the skin coloured stuff to hide blemishes, and it would work perfectly to hide his scratches.

When she turned around, and he saw what she was holding he stood up and practically yelled, "No, No, and NO. Make up is for girls!"

"Okay, I'll put it back but what will mom and dad say about the scratches on the back of your neck?"

"What scratches?"

"The nice red puffy ones."

He started feeling the back of his neck to find where they were, but when he didn't feel them, he asked where they were. She set the make up down beside him and put his fingers on the puffy scratches. All he said was "Dang It!"

"Turn around."

Once she made the scratches impossible to see, she sent him into washroom to fix his clothes. When he came out with his clothes all inside right, Mark saw Jazlyn digging in her dresser drawers and muttering about knowing it was here, and finding something.

He sat back on the bed with a plop and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Got it!" She triumphantly held up a little package and tossed it at his head. "Open it up. Happy birthday."

"My birthday's not for another week."

"I think you need it now. Happy early birthday"

He finished ripping through the layers of paper and held up an elegant stripped tie. "It's nice."

"Thanks, I made it myself."

"Really! I didn't know you could sew so well." He said, clearly surprised. It took a lot of talent to be able to measure it out, and stitch all the stripes together evenly. It also took a lot of patience, which Jazlyn wasn't known for having.

"Just because I prefer to fight doesn't mean I can't do anything else."

"Mom made you learn, didn't she?" He cocked his head and raised both eyebrows.

She shrugged and said, "Yes," with an innocent smile.

AN: I'm really looking forward to writing the next chapter about supper and the fight and hope to get that done during my three day drive to the east coast.

Also I was wondering if anyone wanted to be an editor for my story. I've been having a bit of a hard time getting it to sound right, and I'm still sure there are some spelling and grammar mistakes I can't find. Help would be VERY much appreciated. If anyone one wants to, just drop me a note though I may not answer for a little while because I'm going away.
