Hello dear readers. I hope your week has been going well. I have another update, but it's going to be split unexpectedly. I hope to have the next chapter up by the weekend along with the epilogue to finish up this story that all of you have been so supportive of me writing.

Challenge King: Thank you. I hope you like this one and it will tie you over until the weekend.

darck ben: Thanks. Life is filled with shades of grey. Freddie is like a wounded animal lashing out and cannot distinguish between friend and foe. We'll see how things will change.

crash2663: If you mean that will there be a sequel, I don't know at the moment if there'll be one. There is a lot of factors that go into that decision. I do suggest that you look up my story "Double Proposal" where you 'might' see a glimpse in their future.

Fanfic-Reader-88: You nailed it from Freddie's point-of-view. Jade and Tori's decision goes to the saying: 'The road to Hell is paved with good intentions'. You sum up Jade and Tori's reactions verses unfortunately Carly and Sam's reactions, especially post Seddie-Arc.

mkpunk: A lot of relationships are being settled by this conflict and the greatest thing of all that will be used is forgiveness and trust. Everyone just has to work through those things.

Guest: Yes. I so desperately want to finish those. I'm trying to wrap up some stories now, including this one so I can focus on wrapping both of them up in the near future.

Twilight Warrior 627: Life is hard and a struggle, but they will get through it. It is protagonists versus one another instead of antagonists. How will they reconcile? Spoilers. How will Tori react if she finds out what Lindsay threatened? Spoilers.

Chapter 18

Approaching Venice/Barry Apartments
11811 Venice Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA

Jade remained lost in her thoughts as she made her way through the streets of L.A. back to Tori's place. Her emotions were a mess of conflict between her old resentments of jealousy, envy and resentment towards Tori that were no longer valid between her rejection of Beck and they free of the favoritism at Hollywood Arts and her burgeoning true friendship finally developing between her and the brunette as she attempted to let go of those old feelings. She was so used to being on the other side of Tori or simply rooting for her to fail and this situation seemed natural for her to feel at least some satisfaction of Tori not getting her way.

She had remained pretty neutral in regards to Tori's failed relationship with Steven and made wisecracks about how Ryder had been just using her to get a good grade on their shared project, though she had helped write the song used to get back at him once she was through with her 'time out' Beck put her in—'You will never put me in another time out ever again.'—and cheered in the crowd after Tori finished her song.

However, she found no joy or satisfaction with watching Tori and Freddie's friendship appear at the brink of being torn apart.

It would be easy to return the olive branch to Tori by just taking her side and thinking of Freddie not being worth Tori's time like the aforementioned guys, but Freddie wasn't a 'bad guy' that compared to them. He hadn't cheated or used Tori and frankly from what she saw from him, he was just hurt. He was the one that felt betrayed by Tori and to a lesser extent her.

She had made others feel fear with others that annoyed her and a little of that had to translate into anger at some point, but anger without a trace of fear with it being easily justified was a feeling that was foreign and a little disturbing towards her.

Jade's thoughts were interrupted when she finally pulled her vehicle into the parking lot of Tori's apartment complex just as Beck pulled up in his vehicle with Cat in the passenger seat. The couple parked their individual vehicles then exited them to start towards one another before heading up to the third level apartment.

Beck eagerly asked his girlfriend, "Were you able to find where he's staying?"

"Yeah and I got to talk to him," she revealed with a flick of her eyebrow.

Cat eagerly asked, "What did you say? What did he say to you?"

"Let's head inside then I can tell everyone what we talked about and see how Tori's doing," Jade mildly brushed her off while walking past them towards the closest set of stairs.

The redhead frowned, but accepted the logic of Jade's point.

Beck and Cat caught up with the dark haired teenager and made their way up the stairs to the third floor apartment. Beck knocked on the door with the numbers 316 and they impatiently waited for a response.

The door opened to reveal Trina, who looked at them a tight gaze and set jaw with pursed lips.

The expression made Beck slightly nervous as he grinned and awkwardly started, "Hi Trina. Did you get Cat's message?"

The older Vega sister sighed and turned to let them inside which they quickly followed. "Yeah." She closed the door back once the three entered the apartment then looked to Jade and asked, "Did you find Freddie?"

"Yeah and he's mad," Jade answered while crossing her arms under her chest.

"Oh jank him and his feelings," the older brunette dismissed with a disgust filled voice. "It's Tori that's a mess."

Beck face slightly fell and quickly asked, "A mess? How bad?"

Trina motioned back towards the bedrooms then led Jade and Cat to her younger sister's bedroom while Beck idly waited in the living room. The girls found the brunette curled into a ball in the middle of her bed. She had her back turned to the closed blind window.

"This is how a mess she is," Trina sarcastically answered with a tight smile.

Cat nearly leapt to the side of the bed Tori was facing then crawled on it. "Tori?"

Tori pulled the bed sheet up to cover her face and ignored her redheaded friend's plea.

Trina dismissed in a tired voice, "Don't bother. She's just tuning me out at this point."

Jade slightly squinted and her lips parted before she stated in a flat tone, "Okay, I thought she'd get upset with Freddie moving out and being mad at her if he found out what happened at the party, but I didn't think it would go this far."

Trina looked to the pale actress, her frustration and anger coming back in full force, "Oh please, like you didn't want this to happen. You probably just did this to mess with their relationship."

Jade bared her teeth and snapped, "I did no such thing. I was trying to help her."

The older Vega sister turned and got into the other actress's face and dismissed, "When have you ever cared about helping my sister you jealous bitch?!"

Jade's eye shot open and her jaw nearly dropped at Trina's comment. Her shock turned to anger not just form the name calling, but having to listen to being accused by not one, but two people accusing of purposely trying to mess things up between the pair.

"Stop it!"

The young ladies looked at Tori sitting up and giving a defiant stare. The look was more shocking than intimidating with her eyes being bloodshot and had dark circles under them and the tip of her noise being a little red. "Jade was just trying to help me. It's not her fault. I should have just told him the truth from the start and maybe things wouldn't be as bad right now."

Trina looked at Jade from the corner of her eye and replied with a doubtful tone, "Are you sure?"

Tori took a deep breath and confidently answered, "Yes."

Jade mildly grimaced, feeling conflicted that Tori would so readily defend her.

Beck called out from down the hallway, "Is everything alright in there?"

Jade looked over her right shoulder and called out, "Yeah, we're fine. Trina's just accusing me of causing Tori and Freddie's problems."

The teenage heartthrob cautiously made his way down the hallway and into the bedroom. He was thankful to see that Tori was decent and had the sheet wrapped around her.

Once Beck arrived into the room, Trina continued with self-righteous indignation, "I have every reason to! Is everyone just going to pretend that you have done nothing but give my sister trouble because she always beat you out for every performance and if she snapped her fingers, Beck would have came running to her."

Beck looked outraged and fiercely countered, "Hey, I wouldn't have done that!"

The older Vega sister turned her full attention to Beck and answered, "Oh save it Pretty Boy! After you broke up with Jade, you tried to get Tori to date you twice and if she had said yes to you either time you'd be with Tori right now and we wouldn't have to be worrying about any of this."

Beck looked away mildly embarrassed and happened to glance to see Jade softly biting into her bottom lip and putting up a stone face.

Tori interrupted again with a fierce tone, "Stop with the arguing and trying to point fingers at one another and dragging stuff up from the past. I took Jade's advice which she thought was the best idea for me. I chose to take it."

Jade started playing with her rings on her fingers and muttered, "Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Beck muttered, "I don't understand what he's so upset about. Okay, you lied, but you were trying to protect him. Why doesn't he see it that way?"

"You heard what he said to Trina: instead of worrying about Lindsay, he feels that things are starting right back up again like they were in Seattle. He doesn't think we're friends he can count on," she answered, borrowing a phrase from herself. She snorted out in revulsion, "And to top it off, now she's threatening to say Freddie tried to do it to her if he says anything."

Tori shouted loud enough to fill the apartment, "That bitch said WHAT?!"

The redhead sitting beside the brunette singer nearly jumped from her seat next to her friend on the bed.

The other three were just as startled by the reaction of the young brunette.

A switch seemed to be switched inside Tori while she looked at Jade's face and saw that she was telling the truth. Something cold and dark came from deep within the sweet and innocent girl, "If she even dares, I will, I will… I will find a way to make her pay. I will not let her get away with such a thing!"

The others were genuinely concerned about Tori's emotional swing with Beck taking a step backwards and Jade being oddly impressed by the ferocity of the brunette's response. She had no doubt that Tori would come up with something imaginative.

Cat cautiously rested a hand on her friend's left shoulder and stated, "Tori, it's going to be okay. We'll figure out how to deal with Lindsay later, but you have to keep your focus on Freddie right now."

The teenage brunette took several breaths to try to dial back her anger then looked to Cat. "You're right. I can deal with Lindsay later, but I can't wait for Freddie. I don't… I don't want to lose him." She looked to Beck and answered his previous question, "It's not just that I lied to him, I kept something from him—"

Jade unnecessarily offered, "Student Housing finding you a new room and you keeping it a secret from him by not moving out?"

"Yeah," the brunette answered with a sour and embarrassing tone.

Cat and Beck looked curiously to Jade as Freddie hadn't revealed the 'secret' that Tori had kept from him.

Jade shrugged a shoulder and muttered, "He admitted to me at his place that he found out."

Beck shook his head and lazily commented, "That's what he's hung up about? You wanted to stay his roommate?"

"Yes—" Tori didn't get to finish answer as the long haired actor felt he didn't need an explanation and continued, "He just seems pigheaded to me about it. He should be grateful for what you and Jade did and why would be so hung up about living with you? You seemed to be doing fine as roommates to us."

Jade slightly pursed her lips and lazily pointed out, "My mother would pull your balls off if you tried to move in with me before you put a wedding band on my finger and we've been together since we were fourteen."

Beck eyes nearly bugged out and he slightly leaned backwards.

Jade flicked an eyebrow and reluctantly pointing out, "It may be L.A., but my mother's kind of old fashion and so is Freddie… and she's never really forgiven you for 'breaking my heart' during our senior year… she wanted to break you legs, so you're not all that liked by her."

Beck swallowed nervously, not realizing he was on Mrs. West's bad side as the woman was quite polite and pleasant and Jade had to get her mean streak from someone.

The others felt a little awkward in learning about some details of Jade's family life in regards to Beck.

Tori continued, intending to get Beck to understand Freddie's feelings, "He feels betrayed. That's why he's upset at me. All his friends in his life have turned on him or abandoned him. Sam ditched him without any explanation with a whole list of abuses from her through the years and you saw how he reacted when he met her at Cat's place. Carly left for Italy and she was supposed to come back and be together. She was his first love and he thought he was going to finally get his chance to truly be with her. He was letting all that disappointment go and starting over with us, but I pulled the rug out from under him again."

The others in the room looked somewhat lost and sympathetic while Trina didn't looked too convinced or caring. Jade felt a particularly sharp sting at hearing once again the similarities between her and Freddie, finding the kindred spirit troubling and comforting at the same time. Jade slightly parted her lips and ran her tongue over the top front of her teeth as her nervous twitch then whispered, "I don't think it's hopeless."

The brunette that had been her rival since Jade first step foot into Hollywood Arts looked up to her with a twinge of hope in her eyes.

"I followed him from class and found out where he's staying. I was able talked to him. He's angry at you and me, but that's because he's hurt." She sucked on her lip gloss covered bottom lip to momentarily paused, debating whether she should reveal the last bit she was thinking. Seeing the others' stares, seeing that she was holding something back then finished, "I have enough experience in covering hurt and I saw the same thing in his eyes."

Tori felt sick in the pit of her stomach while Beck threw on a worried expression, finding out that Jade would bury and keep her feelings from him at times that he hadn't picked up.

Tori shrugged her shoulders and asked them, "What do I do?"

Trina took a seat on the bed and wrapped an arm around and over Tori's shoulder. "I think you need to pull yourself together and forget about him." She motioned a hand out of the room and towards Freddie's bedroom. "If he wants to move out so bad, why don't you help him by throwing all of his stuff out of the window?"

Tori stared at her sister dumbfounded for several seconds the shouted in outrage, "I can't do that! You just heard Jade; I hurt him."

The older brunette sharply countered, "I don't care whether he's hurt or not. He has you missing class and curled up in a ball on the bed. You've already cried your eyes out for him. He's not worth that trouble."

Tori turned a cold stare to her sister and answered, "Freddie is my friend. I hurt him and I want to make this right."

Trina took a deep breath, her face clearly showing she didn't like the idea.

Beck lazily motioned a hand and answered, "You can talk to him. That's about the only thing you can do and hopes he believes you that you're sincere."

Tori looked to Jade and asked hopefully, "Did you apologize? Did he believe you?"

Jade gave a lazy nod. "Yes and I think I at least got through some of his anger and got him to start thinking about how you and I aren't like Carly and Sam."

Tori looked at her mildly stunned then let one hand go from the sheet, letting it fall off a shoulder and snapped her fingers. "That's it."

Cat faintly frowned and asked, "What?"

The lovely muttered, not really believing the words coming out of her mouth, "I need to talk to Carly."

Trina slightly squinted and asked in a slightly raised pitched voice, "Why do you need to talk to Carly?"

The younger sister looked to the struggling actress and answered, "She hurt him—badly and it's why he's more upset over this than some of you think he should be. Maybe if she can try to make peace with him, maybe he'll be more inclined to forgive me?"

The redhead reluctantly pointed out, "But Carly's somewhere in Italy. How are you going to find her? And even if you find her, how are you going to get them to talk?"

"I don't know. Does Sam have a way to contact her?"

Cat frowned while answering in disheartened tone, "Sam hasn't mentioned ever talking to her, but I guess she could have a way to contact her. They were—probably are still best friends—for years. I don't know how willing she would be to help since it is Freddie."

Tori shoulders slumped, feeling more hopeless in her situation.

Jade surprisingly spoke up, "I'll get her to call you then you can figure out someway for them to talk."

The brunette looked up to her former rival and asked, "How?"

Jade rolled her eyes and reluctantly admitted, "Carly's dad is my godfather and my mom's her godmother, so… we're god-siblings. They still keep in contact and since she's staying with her dad, my mom will just have Colonel Steven get Carly to call you."

The quartet looked at her in various states of surprise.

Trina muttered, "That's pretty random."

Beck brought up with a raised eyebrow, "You have never mentioned that."

Jade shrugged a shoulder and lazily answered, "We're not close. Her mom died and he's been deployed most of the time since she died and nine-eleven all happened around the same time, so some drifting happened and we do live on opposite ends of the West Coast. It never came up."

A hint of a smile, the sign of the first ray of light coming from her soul to the surface, appeared on Tori's face and answered, "Thank you."

Jade tightened her arms over her stomach, feeling uncomfortable with the brunette's gratefulness. "You're welcome."

"So I got a plan… a part of one anyway. Hopeful it'll be enough for him to at least hear me out."

Cat hesitantly pointed out, "She could make things worst if they talk."

"Maybe, but I think it's my only shot."

The others didn't look convinced, especially Trina, but none of them were going to argue against her plan and demolish her hope.

Jade spoke up with a surprisingly helpful tone, "If you're serious about this, then I'm going to go talk to my mom and get Carly to contact you."

Tori was able to crack a smile and gratefully replied, "Thanks."

The blue streaked hair teenager nodded, trying not to feel too awkward in being in the position to help her former rival and turned away to head out of the apartment.

Tori called out, "Could you tell me where he's staying?"

"Oh, right." She pulled out her phone and brought up her text message. "I'll text you the address."

A moment later, Tori's phone pinged on her nightstand signaling that she received the text.

Jade spoke with a surprisingly sympathetic tone, "I hope it helps."

"It will."

The nearly black haired teenager started again towards exiting the room, now on a mission she never thought she would ever take: help Tori with a relationship.

Beck looked to Cat and asked, "Do you need a ride?"

"Nah, I'll call Sam to pick me up or Trina can give me a ride. I'd like to stay for a little while." She looked to Tori for permission to stay and the brunette held a barely perceived smile and nodded her approval.

"Yeah."

"Yea!" Cat shouted with a clap of her hands. "I took notes for class, so I can go over what you missed."

Tori's smile tightened, not feeling up to look at any class work, but didn't want to disappoint her friend in just trying to help.

Trina didn't look too pleased at possibly being roped into being a chauffeur for the sometimes ditzy redhead.

Beck smiled to the others and quickly spoke so Jade wouldn't get too far ahead of him, "I'll see you later. Call if you need anything." He turned and hastily walked to catch up with his girlfriend.

Jade was already several yards down the hallway towards the stairs when the handsome hopeful actor exited the apartment. He called out, "Jade?"

She stopped and turned around to face him before casually answering, "Yeah?"

He let his charming smile form on his face, glad to see that she wasn't mad at him. However, he was suddenly a lost for words.

The pale actress furled her brow and questioned in mild concern, "What?"

He blew out a breath and brought his right hand up to scratch the back of his head. "Ah, I… I just wanted to say… You know Trina was just running her mouth to try to hurt you. She's just mad at you because you're convenient to take out her anger with what's happening between Tori and Freddie."

Jade smiled, but it was a sad one and answered, "But she was right about everything."

The handsome face fell with mild dread starting to seep through him. "Everything?"

"Yes, everything. I was jealous of what Tori took from me in performances and… that she would take you from me if she wanted you."

"But that didn't happen. Yeah, we broke up, but we found each other again."

"I know… because Tori turned you down. I knew of one time, but I didn't know about the second time. I guess it was when you two where hanging out that night you picked up your relative's dog. I guess my irrational suspicions weren't so irrational after all."

Beck was quick to defend himself, "It wasn't a date; we were just hanging out that night. I went out of my way to make it an 'opposite date' with bad food, sloppy dressing and going places that weren't remotely romantic."

"But you wanted it to be more. Tori knew it, but didn't say anything. She wouldn't have felt guilty about it or tried not to let it get out you two were hanging out. She wouldn't have had that reaction to André or Robbie. If she had said yes that night… or that night you were over at her place throwing me under the bus after Mason gave me the slot for the Platinum Music Awards, you would be with her right now."

The color from Beck's face seemed to drain away and he took a deep breath. A part of him thought about denying her assertion, but the look on Jade's face told him better than doing that and he wasn't in the habit of lying to his girlfriend. "How? How did you learn about that? Did Tori tell you?"

Jade let a relieved smile appear on her face that he hadn't denied her words, which was something. "I saw you on Cat's PearBook. I guess she was chatting with Tori and left the video chat open. I saw you trying to… swoon Tori and her shooting you down."

The handsome hopeful actor's palmed started feeling sweaty. He hesitated in speaking, but finally got out, "Jade, I'm—"

She calmly interrupted, "No, no apologies or explanations. You don't owe me any. We weren't together and I meant what I said: we can hang out with anyone we wanted and you could have asked anyone out you wanted while we were broken up… even the ones you may have harbored feelings for in the past. However it worked out, we're together. That's what is important. We accept the problems we have that we're… mostly ignoring and that's that and if we finally decide to face them one day instead of pretending they're not there, then I hope we'll do that together because though all the chizz we've been through, I do love you."

The long haired hopeful actor reluctantly nodded, not believing for the moment that he was being let off the hook with his attempts towards Tori, but was willing to accept Jade's words and willingness to avoid a fight right now. He wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

She directed a soft smile to him and asked, "Do you want to get together tonight and work on some homework or just hang out?"

"Yeah," he answered with a relieved sigh.

Jade's smile grew bigger to him then placed a kiss on his cheek before taking his hand turning to walk downstairs.

Beck sighed again while nearly being dragged down the hallway towards the stairs, still thankful that he had avoided a fight with Jade.

Valentine Apartment
Venice, CA
Tuesday, October 9, 2012

After a pleasurable lunch with Tori and Trina and helping her friend catch up with class, the older sister relented in driving the redhead back to her apartment since Sam said she was too busy to pick her up. Cat entered her apartment with a heavy heart. Her friend's happiness or lack there of weighed heavily on her.

If the circumstances in Freddie's life before what happened at the party and the revelation of what truly happened had been different, she knew Freddie wouldn't be angry and Tori wouldn't be a mess. She hated to admit it, but her roommate that she thought was becoming her friend was part of the problem. She thought on her way home that perhaps she could have Sam attempt something to help Tori mend things with Freddie as she was going to try with Carly.

Cat arrived at her front door and lazily pulled out her keys to unlocked it. She sighed while pulling the key from the lock then pushing the door open to enter. She paused and frowned when she saw across the apartment Sam sitting at the kitchen table with her PearBook sitting in front of her, either goofing off online or actually working on one of her online classes; Cat couldn't tell which one until Sam let out a laugh at whatever she was looking at the screen.

The redhead closed her eyes and shook her head, regretting giving Sam the benefit of the doubt that she was busy with her own on-line college classes. For such an easy going girl, her irritation flared with her roommate on top of how the blonde was partially responsible situation Tori faced.

Cat kept her cool as she dropped her book bag on the couch and headed for the kitchen. She called out in a forced cheerful tone, "Hey."

The blonde kept her focus on the screen and remarked, "Hey."

The hopeful musician/actress finished crossing the apartment and took a seat next to the blonde, forcing Sam to scoot over and allow her to have a seat. She took a quick glance over at the laptop monitor then furled her brow while she snapped, "This was what you were busy with? Watching SplashFace videos?"

"Hey, I just got done with working on my on-line class. Sheesh, hold it against a girl for having a little fun after she's done with classes. You were out with your 'gang', why give me grief? And why are you so snippy about?"

Cat took a deep breath and took the opportunity to talk about what she wanted to address with Sam, "Tori and Freddie are fighting. He packed some stuff and left."

Sam flippantly remarked with barely a glance away from the laptop, "So itty-bitty Freddie threw a fit and walked out? What is he whining about?"

The petite redhead closed the laptop with her palm and indignantly asked, "Why are you so mean to him?"

Sam eyed her roommate, surprised at the bit of feistiness though wasn't unseen by her since becoming roommates. "I have my reasons."

"And what are they?"

The blonde flippantly questioned, "Where do I start?"

The redhead surprisingly snapped, "How about the part where you didn't tell him you were just taking off without telling him or telling him where you were or if you didn't like him so much, why did you start dating him?"

Sam took a deep breath and pursed her lips, clearly irritated by being called out. She thought about just blowing off the redhead, but the look in her eyes and knowing how irritable she could get if pressed to her that would be the wrong course of action. She couldn't leave and she couldn't kick the redhead out, especially since she had friends that weren't afraid to stand up to her. The blonde snorted out a breath then answered, "He's physically hot and I ignored all those nubby qualities about him until I realized I couldn't put up with him."

Cat really couldn't fault her for being attracted to the handsome geek, but couldn't understand what qualities that Freddie possessed would bother Sam. "But you were friends for years?"

"Friends… friends is a strong word."

The hopeful actress/singer frowned, becoming more confused and irritated by the second. "Then what were you then?"

Sam rolled her eyes, her patients running dangerously thin. "I guess we were sort of friends. We knew each other since we were thirteen and only hung out and put up with him because of the webshow and hated him most of the time. I guess through the years my toleration of him became something like a friendship."

"Did you actually learn to care about him?"

Sam paused, her mind instantly going back to when she broke up with Freddie and they confessed that they at least loved each other as friends. She never really doubted that he loved her even before his confession with him sticking by her and helping her out when she didn't deserve it. She sometimes chalked that up to him being plan stupid or gullible. Did she really mean those words to him? Did she really care about him at least on that level?

She finally uttered, "I guess in my own way."

"Then why are you so flippant about what's happening to him now?"

Sam pursed her lips then calmly tried to explain to her irritated roommate, "Look Cat… Freddie and I are not buddy-buddy friends like you and Tori or Jade. I care to a point, a very short point and there are things that are more important to me than him. Unless he's outright dying and it's just him having lady problems of his own doing, I don't care. He irritates me most of the time and if bad things happen to him, so what? He probably had it coming."

Cat softly bit into his bottom lip while putting on a thoughtful expression for several seconds. She eventually stated with a look of pity to the blonde, sad for Sam's very soul, "That's not caring about someone and that's no friend."

Sam bit her tongue and darkly gazed back at the redhead for several moments before uttering, "I don't want to talk about this anymore."

"Fine then. Thanks for nothing. I was going to ask for your help, but why bother? Just sit there knowing that you just hate people for no reason," Cat huffed out with a face nearly as red as her hair then turned her back on Sam and started to head for their shared room.

The blonde rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to her computer. She debated whether or not to follow the redhead, but ultimately decided against it seeing no point and finding what was on screen more entertaining.

Author's Note: I hope you enjoyed this update. Fingers crossed that the next one will be on Saturday or so. Some things were certainly dug up in this chapter and boy was Tori mad. Yes, I did rip off myself with the whole Shay/West thing and I think I gave a fair characterization of how Sam really feels about Freddie. Take care, OneHorseShay
