Spark sat at home, alone, his letter in his hands, as he read it over and over. He couldn't surrender that type of fame and money over to Joker, but at the same time, he didn't know if he was ready to lead a, albeit small, criminal organization, But he would have to try. He decided to try to get a "home base" set up, somewhere no pony would go normally. But Ponyville was a small, thriving town, with few abandoned buildings, and no abandoned districts. He could shelter his two friends at his house, but for now, he would enjoy the tranquility of and a home to himself, and casual games with strangers. He may even recruit a few, if they turn out good enough. He decided to try and find somepony like this, at a different place than last time, To also asses the community, get a better idea of what kind of town this was. Hoping he might meet a good player, he slowly set out, in search of someplace he mind find someone who can hold their cards well enough to win a hand or two. He grabbed some a large bag of bits, threw them into his saddlebag, and went off, searching.

Where is that silly colt...

Wild Side was searching all over Ponyville, her nose to the ground. She was trying to sniff out the path of her erstwhile son, Sphere Stalker. The adventurous colt had gone out without telling her or Circle again, and Wild wanted to at least know where he was. It wasn't urgent or anything - Ponyville was usually a very safe place, after all, and it was hardly unusual for foals to be out and about playing. It was just annoying to never know where he was.

Wild Side became aware of a scent she wasn't familiar with, just before she bumped into somepony who had been walking across her path. Unfortunately, she had been going rather fast, and despite her small frame, her muscles were very dense, and she was much stronger than she would appear. As a result, she and the other pony go tumbling through the air, bouncing several times before coming to a rest. Wild shakes her head and slowly stands back up.

"Ow...something hit me..."

Spark soon became aware of the fact that somepony hap collided with him, right around the time of the first bounce. By then, his saddlebags full of bits had fallen off. He was hit by somepony small, but strong. When he stopped moving, he looked around to gather himself, and spotted a dazed mare and his saddlebag. He was brought up to honor money, but knew it was the right thing to help up the mare. He helped her get to her hooves.

"Whoa, You alright?" He chuckled a little. "We hit each other pretty hard there."

Spark smiled at the mare, hoping to come off as friendly but not flirtatious.

Wild shook her head and glared at the stallion for a moment. Then she realized he wasn't implying she was weak or anything, and just wanted to know if she was okay. She sighed and waved her hoof around.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I've had worse falling out of bed. What about you?"

She kept her face turned away as she spoke, hiding her teeth. While there were rumours going around the town, her true nature was by-and-large unknown by most of the populace, and she strongly preferred to keep it that way.

He looked at her, how she was avoiding eye contact. He had hoped he hadn't done anything to offend the mare.

"Well, you hit me hard enough to knock off my saddlebag. I'll be fine, just a little bit hurt is all. I'm spark, a bit new to town. Yourself?"

"Bah. That little bump hurt you? And here I thought your voice sounded like a stallion. And that you looked like an earth pony."

Wild laughed a bit. It was mean, but still. To be hurt by such a little tumble? Okay, she hurt a bit too, but she wasn't about to say that.

"Spark, huh? Well, welcome to Ponyville. My name's Wild Side."

Spark looked at her with a bit of a playful hurt face, though the way she avoided eye contact, he wondered if it mattered.

"Well, we did tumble quite a bit there. Nice to meet you Wild Side, even under these conditions. If i may ask, what are you doing running so quickly? You might bump into somepony."

He laughed a bit more, wondering if fate had given him a decent player earlier than expected.

"Har har. If you must know...I'm looking for someone. It's not important, though."

Sphere was probably out playing with Whisper or Snowball again. Those five foals - Sphere Stalker, Moon Speaker, Whisperwind, Snowball and Aura Blossom - were pretty much inseparable. It was good that her foals had the friends growing up that she or Circle never did.

"And you? Where were you going in such a hurry that you couldn't watch where you were going?"

Spark was a bit taken back by the edge of her words.

"Oh, i was looking for somepony to play cards with. It sounds a bit odd, but i usually play friendly games and the like, just for fun. I'm new in town, i don't have any friends to play with anymore. I would make you an offer, but you are a bit busy it seems. Unless you want to some time later? We could figure something out, i mean."

Spark was trying his hardest not to make it sound like a date. He wasn't over his marefriend getting killed, along with Baws and the rest of them.

Wild shook her head.

"I'm bloody awful at card games. But...I guess it'd be interesting."

She looked straight at the stallion, then, and smiled, careful not to show her teeth. After a moment, she looked away again.

"I live at the Book Store. Come by, if you're ever bored."

Spark was unsure at first. He was looking to recruit, but also for just friendly games, nothing but his sanity on the line if he looses too many hands in a row. He could hear Baws Kard again, it was getting a bit scary how frequent he could hear his old friends voice:' a bad player does not lead to a bad game, even if no one is paying.' words to live by Spark thought.

"Well, i live at the house right there, i couldn't get too far without getting ran into. After you finish, maybe we could set up a game."

Spark smiled at the mare again, then recalled his saddle bag and went to reclaim it.

"Maybe."

She nodded once more and turns away. After a few moments, she stopped and looked back at Spark.

"Sorry if I was being a bit testy, there. I'm looking for my son, though he's not in any trouble or anything. I'll see you around."

She nodded one last time and continued on her way, leaving the blue Earth pony alone with his thoughts and money.
