Love was different from the actual love that she had been thinking bout. Maybe he loved her. But like a friendship love. It was only Johnagold's cutiemark that made him do all these things. He didn't love her. And it was just as well. It didn't matter. She hadn't even thought of him that way anyway. It made no sense that it hurt that he didn't care, but whatever. "Sounds like a homework assignment to me." They'd lived together for months for Celestia's sake. If she was going to have those kinds of feelings she would have had them long before now. A date wasn't going to do anything except waste her time. And she didn't have any to waste.

It wasn't easy being a single mother working in a the-world-is-going-to-end economy. "I don't have any time to waste on that dribble."

"As a licensed therapist, I can declare you mentally unsuited for a workplace environment." There was amusement in the zunicorn's voice. "Do you really want me to give you a time-out or are you going to do your homework, young lady?" Flying Minx assumed an expression of mock sternness, crossing her forehooves and giving Jewels a pointed look. She wouldn't actually follow through on the threat--it was readily apparent that the pegasus needed to feel like she had some form of control over her life--but with any luck the jocular stick might push the mare to realize how ridiculous she was being.

"You're just the sub. You really do that and I won't even be able to feed my foal. Never mind even keep a roof over our heads." She did not appreciate this mare's threats. She had no idea what the heck she was doing. Had no idea the weight of her threats. This might be just a game to Flying Minx, but to Jewels is was her life. Besides. Her actual counselor would just repeal the declaration when he got back. And Jewels' role-player didn't care how it was in real life. This was her thread and she was stating the rules. So no nitpicking or arguing over this.

"And this is exactly what I was talking about. I make a joke and you take it seriously. You're thinking with your head, not with your heart, that's why you're so unbalanced." Flying Minx turned, walking across the room as she made her point. "You don't laugh, you don't love, you aren't happy, and it's all because you choose not to. Live a little, I don't care if it's dating or just going out for a night on the town! You have to relax, filly, get down with your dancing side! Spontaneous musical numbers, radical funk, disco!"

She suddenly turned around with a wild grin. "In fact you know what? Dance club. We're going. Right now."

"Heart is dumb." Heart wasn't going to pay the bills, heart wasn't going to get her son stop being terrified of everyone wanting to commit suicide at the smallest thing. She didn't have time for heart. Heart was dumb any way. She loved her son. And had Johnagold as a friend. That was heart enough for her. Jewels peeked out of the curtains and shook her head. "No. We're not going right now." She said, sitting in front of the door so that Flying Minx couldn't open it. She didn't like it in here at all, but it was better than what was out there. She didn't want to go outside.

"Oh come on darling, don't be shy!" With a little bit of magic, Minx pulled a minature boombox out of a drawer in her desk and set on a catchy loop. "Join in whenever you want!" She jumped into the middle of the rug, swaying and flicking her hooves to the sound of the music.

Twofold was her clever plan. Eventually, the zunicorn predicted, Jewels would feel too embarrassed at the sight. Either she would join in out of sympathy, probably to get it over with... or she would try to leave, at which point the therapist would lunge and lead her to a real dance party.

This was terrible. Jewels just turned her back on the psychedelic changeling and peered out of the window again, then back to the clock and through the window. At least the mare had stopped talking. Things had begun to get rather uncomfortable. When the pony Jewels had been trying to avoid left the street she bolted out of the door. That wasn't to say that the music wasn't nice. But it was getting weird in there. The only reason she'd been even there was to avoid… Someone.

Contingency plan two!

Jewels was fast, but Flying Minx was ready and being half zebra gave her an edge in the speed department. Hooking her foreleg around the pegasus's she quickly led them down the road. "I assure you, darling, this is for your own good."

Rather rapidly they arrived at the PON-3 Prancing Party Pavilion, a building roofed by a glass dome and resonating with music so loud the snow was slowly shaking off. Minx flicked the appropriate bits for the two of them at the bouncer--a musclebound white pony with astonishingly tiny wings--and dragged Jewels in through the front door and onto the multi-colored pattern of lights that made up the dance floor. "Come on filly, strut your stuff!"

Well at least they hadn't run into the guy she'd been trying to avoid. "Imma go sit down and have a drink." Jewels didn't feel like dancing. she didn't even feel like being here. To be frank, the drink wasn't even going to be anything but water. She was dirty poor. And she couldn't afford to spend money on some absurdly expensive drink. "Don't feel like dancing." This counselor was stupidly lame. Heart and mind. Pffft. Heart didn't get you anywhere. And least not in the way that Flying Minx was saying. It was foalish and impulsive. She was above such impulses.

Thunder Rocker was sitting at the bar in the PON-3 Prancing Party Pavilion. He was pumped after some partying with the rest of the Bad Weather Team. He was the only one left though, the others got tired and left. 'What kind of self respecting worker leaves early from a party?' Thought Thunder. He certaintly wasn't gonna leave soon, he was too pumped. Might have been those energy drinks he was drinking. Thunder heard a noise and looked down the bar. He saw a pegasus mare unlike any other. He called over the bartender and asked to buy a drink for the mare at the other end of the bar. Thunder made sure to pay in advance.

The zunicorn followed the pegasus and shook her head. "No no no, alcohol is a depressive and you need to be up and about! Doctor's orders."

"Well, this is awkward." The bartender put a glass in front of them, nodding to Jewels. "Compliments of the pegasus down the way."

"No, this is perfect! You," Flying Minx pointed at Jewels, "go talk to him, and I will get a free drink!" She grabbed the glass and sipped eagerly, eventually putting it down still two-thirds filled. "Go on, get over there!" Her hoof nudged Jewels in the direction of the mysterious pegasus. "Show him what you've got, filly!"

"I got a foal." Jewels retorted to the unicorn, sitting down where she was. She didn't want to go over there. She didn't have time for a relationship. She didn't want a relationship. She had a foal and a job. Jewels couldn't say she disagreed with the alcohol schpeal. She'd been drunk during the incident. So other than an occasional glass of hard cider with The Apples she didn't really drink. Just a sip or two really, nothing too major. She didn't have any wicked dance moves, nor would spare any time for them. She didn't even want to be here. Her totally-not-a-friend had dragged her here.

Thunder looked down the bar and saw a Zunicorn mare come over and take the mare's drink he bought her. They looked like they were talking when the Zunicorn glanced over at him and mentioned something to the mare. He began to piece thoughts together about the two mares. The Zunicorn was some sort of friend to the mare, and she wanted her to come over and talk to him. She didn't want to for some reason still unknown.He asked the bartender for a shot of something slightly above average and drunk it down. He would need some liquid courage to talk to this mare.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Flying Minx asked. "You're single! It's not like you're going to ignore him for your love life." She tapped Jewels' chest adamantly. "You. Need. A. Life. And this is a perfect opportunity to start. Don't worry if this goes nowhere, just have fun tonight! Go with the flow, feel the beat, chat the stallions that you want! I've got your back, and I swear on my honor as a therapist I will let nothing bad happen to you. I'll use my dark zebra magics on anypony that tries anything. OOOOooooOOOOOO!" The zunicorn waved her hooves mysteriously.

Love life. That was a stupid tom. She had a life. And it wasn't that frivolous stuff like love. "I have a life. I know nothing bad is going to happen to me." They wouldn't even be to get that far. Jewels didn't have any magic, but she had her lightening blade in her saddle bag. There was no danger here. Jewels glanced over to the stallion and rolled her eyes. "If I wanted a matchmaking service I would have paid for one." She had a life. She had a foal, a friend, a job. What more did one need out of life? Jewels certainly knew she didn't need anything more. "Don't touch me."
