"Oh Red, what am I going to do? He kicked me out in front of all the men! Why would he do this?" Harley sobbed into her hands as Ivy rubbed her back.
"Well sugar, what is it you did?" Harley looked up, white makeup streaking down her cheeks, her mask falling off.
"All I did was try to surprise him. He's been so stressed lately, with this whole must kill the Bat-man thing." She said trying to immitate his voice. "I light some candles, set up the bed with everything he likes. Even dressed in this stupid dress." Harley whimmpered pulling on her red and black split dress. "So there I was, layin in bed, excited for my man to come home. But as he walks in he got so angry. I tried to get him in bed with me but he pulled on my pony tail. Mr. J dragged me out onto the balcony, infront of the men and tossed me over!" She began sobbing again, leaning into Ivy's chest. "Why would he do that Red? I only try to make my puddin happy."
Poison Ivy tried to help sooth the young woman. "He's no good for you Harley, he's only using you." She ran her fingers through Harley's blond hair, taking it out of its fallen pony tails. "You're his sheild, nothing more." Harley pushed her away crying out,
"No! You're wrong! My puddin does love me, he just can't show it!" Ivy sighed and grabbed her friends hand. She knew Harley was hurting, but nothing would get through to you. "Listen Har, the Joker lied to you from the start. He's the reason why you're like this. You use to be a doctor don't you remember. But he played you, and now you're addicted."
The sad clown stopped crying for a moment and nodded her head. "I would have been a great psychiatrist. He just knew all the right buttons." She chuckled nervously, staring up at the night sky. Tears silently running down her messy face. "Maybe one day I'll be better, one can only hope." Ivy stood up and took her friends hand. With a loving smile she said, "Let's go home dear, it'll be better."
"Harley! Harley! Where is that troublesome girl."
"Uh boss, you kicked her out two days ago don't you remember?"
"Yes but she should be back by now, where is she? The place is a mess and I can't find anything!" The Joker rummaged through the mess of a house searching for his tie. "Blasted Harley, where did she go anyways?"
"Uh, my guess boss would be that she went over to that Poison Ivy's house like she did last time."
"Ivy, that girl has it in for me. I wonder what she filled Harley's head with now. I have no tie, no sock. The damn dogs got to my shoes. I need Harley here."
"Boss, did you just say you needed the girl?" The Joker spun around with disgust on his face."
"For house purposes only." The Joker stormed to his room. The candles that Harley had set up were knocked to the ground, the rose pettles shriveled up and scattered on the ground. The satin sheets tossed aside. "Oh Har, my Har. What can I do without you?" He muttered to himself as he kicked a pillow.
Harley burst out of the dressing room with a nice black and white dress flowing around her knees. "How about this one Red?" She asked twirling around. "This is sure to catch someones attention tonight right?"
"Harley, we are not going to meet boys. We are going for a girls night out."
"I know, but still. I'd like to be noticed." She winked at her best friend and giggled.
Tonight was the opening of a new movie theater. Sense Harley and the Joker blew up the last one, the town was in for an upgrade. "Ugh, Harley just do me a favor? Don't distroy this theater." Ivy scowled at her.
"Oh Red, I'd never. I'm a lady."
Later that night Ivy and Harley got all dolled up for the big premere. Ivy in her normal green dress, hair hanging over her shoulders. Harley in a flowing black dress with white lace trim, her blond hair pulled up in a messy up due. Everyone who was anyone was at the premere, cat woman even showed. "Look at this, the gang is back together." Selina said with a purr.
The night went off without any trouble. The girls having fun, drinking, socializing. Tonight was to keep Harley happy, to let her forget about the man that caused her pain. "So, Jokers pet, what's going on with all of that." Harley sighed and set down her bubbly drink.
"He kicked me out again."
"And for the last time." Ivy said holding her by the waist.
"I guess so. He never really loved me, he just used me. I was his pet, his maid, his shield. I was his.."
"The love of his life." A voice interupted. Harley turned around to find the Joker dressed in his nicest suit, holding blood red roses. "Harley, come home."
"Oh Mr. J!" Harley nearly jumped into his arms but Ivy held her back.
"No, she's been mistreated by you for the last time. You've done nothing but hurt her and use her. She is a charming woman who deserves more than you." Harley's eyes teared up before turning her head away from the kneeling man.
"Go home Mr. J, I don't need you anymore." Harley said as strongly as she could.
"But, Harley, sweetie. I need you, I'm lost without you." He got off his knees and slowly walked twords the girls. "I've never noticed it before, but I love you Harley. You're my girl, the favorite tool in my box. Please, come home." Harley looked at Ivy scared. Her friend sighed and let go of her small waist.
"Oh puddin." She twirled around and ran into her lovers arms. "Mr. J, I missed you so much."
"I missed you too dear, lets go home." He picked up his giggling girl and walked out of theater. A tear escaped from Ivy's blue eyes. "She's gone again, I lost her."
