Nights later...

Sarah was trying to sleep. She couldn't for the noises outside kept her up. She cling onto her Buggy and Joker dolls shaking. Suddenly she heard a faint laughter in the room. She looked around not seeing The Joker for that was his laugh, "......you will never be free of me, I'm the one you really want," she heard his voice inside her head.

Sarah whimpered and shivered. She just wish Joker and Captain Buggy were here, or at least Buggy and Arthur. She immediately got up and ran out of the room. She rushed downstairs and grabbed her boots and coat.

Arthur was at his apartment since he still owned it. He lived in Gotham in a run down apartment. He still had some of his things at his folks, but kept his apartment incase he worked late as Joker. He was about to wash his makeup off when he heard pounding on the door. "Arthur!" It was Sarah.

Joker immediately panicked and opened the door "Sarah, are you okay? What's happened?"

"...," Sarah was surprised to see Joker here. "Where's Arthur? This is his apartment?"

Joker took her hand and quickly pulled her in and shut the door locking it. He then went to the windows shutting the curtains. He then turned off the electricity in his apartment. Sarah was confused in the dark wondering why Joker was doing this. He then picked up a candle lighting it.

"Why did you do all that?"

"......I'm just making sure nobody can hear or see. I have to be really careful. Because what I'm about to tell you, hardly no one knows....," he took a deep breath, "I am Arthur."

"...yeah right, and I'm Harley Quinn." She looked at him like he was crazy.

"Actually I do know her, she's a friend. But Sarah, I am Arthur and I can prove it," he took the piece of paper from his pocket that she gave him with her number on, "you gave it to me out in the yard, back in the fall."

"...how did you get that!?"

Joker sighed realizing this was not working. "How else can I prove I am Arthur?"

"If you really are Arthur, then kiss me, but we never—MMM!" She gasped when he grabbed her face and kissed her.

He kissed her deeply and when he finally pulled back he blushed beneath his makeup, "I guess that doesn't really prove anything, because we never kissed, but I can wash this off and prove it," he pointed to his face, then added, ".......also, I was pretty jealous that you'd already kissed my brother but we never had."

"...it was a silly prank. It meant nothing...even the second time."

He was surprised. There was a second time!?

"Wait, you kissed him twice? When was the second time?"

"At Christmas...under a mistletoe...," she said looking down.

"Oh, right. Well I guess that doesn't mean anything," he sighed, "I know I don't have to be jealous. I'm sorry."

"It's alright, I mean we aren't dating anyway, Arthur...you said once I am 18 you will ask," she sighed now realizing it was him. Only Arthur would know her and Buggy's first kiss. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you. But I just couldn't. You could never hurt a fly."

He looked down, "I have hurt people. It's part of what we do, Buggy and I, it's who we are. But it doesn't make us bad people."

"...," she held his face and stroke his face. "I know. I know you're not. I just wish the people would see you both like how, Jr, Joesph and I do."

She then leaned in and kissed him again, "also I need you, Arthur, because...The Joker is haunting me..."

"Haunting you? You mean like in your nightmares?" he asked, concerned.

She nodded. She started to tear up, "I hear him laughing and talking to me."

"That's because you've been through trauma, Sarah. Maybe what the doctors said at the hospital is a good idea, perhaps you could consider therapy."

"...n-no it won't help..."

"It might, if you have a good therapist. Perhaps you could try it and if it doesn't help then at least you have it a go," he suggested.

"Would you..or Buggy go with me?" She asked.

"Of course I'd go with you. And.....it's a long shot, but I do know someone who used to be a therapist, and I think she'd understand better than anyone what you went through. I could give you her number too, if you need a girl friend to talk to," he offered.

"...who?" She asked.

Suddenly the door opened. It was Captain Buggy. He then acted like he didn't know Sarah.

".....o-oh, sorry, Joker, I didn't realize you had a guest. What are you guys doing sitting here in the dark, an ouija board?" he took his hat off and bowed, "Nice to meet you, Miss—?"

Joker tried not to chuckle, wondering if Sarah would prank him by acting like she didn't know it was him. Sarah then saw Buggy face to face. She sensed she now met him. So she tried to get him to confess, "Your nose?"

He narrowed his eyes, "......what about my nose?" he asked with eerie calmness.

"It looks like my friend's nose..."

"......yeah well.....lots of people where fake clown noses to look like me."

"His isn't fake. Yours doesn't either."

"It's not," Joker chuckled.

"Then I feel sorry for your friend for being a freak like me. Give him my number, he could join my crew."

"....and you both have the same name....is your last name Gold?"

"N-No, it's Silver. My great grandfather was Long John Silver," he joked.

Joker chuckled.

"So Joker is Joker Silver because your brothers?" Sarah asked.

Joker covered his mouth trying to calm himself from his chuckles.

"Adopted brothers. That's all." Buggy stated.

"She knows, dude." Joker chuckled. He couldn't hold it anymore.

Buggy sighed, "you could've told me that when I walked in, instead of letting me waste my breath for the past five minutes!"

"You like your pranks, we figured you'd appreciate it," Joker chuckled.

"....okay so now that's out of the way.....," he gestured to the candle light, "....this is very romantic. Did I interrupt a date?"

"...uh no...," Sarah blushed.

"I had to be cautious...," Joker explained.

"Yes you do because Sarah's not 18 yet," Buggy joked. He then chuckled and ruffled Joker's hair, which he hated that,  "I'm just kidding bro, well...kinda."

"I was just actually talking to Sarah about a friend of mine who I think could help her. You know, to have a girl friend to talk to," Joker explained.

Buggy rolled his eyes, "please tell me it's not one of the girls from the club?"

"N-no!"

"Wait...you mean...strippers?" Sarah felt uncomfortable.

"No, they're...dancers. For entertainment," Joker explained, also feeling awkward now.

"Yeah they're not technically strippers, they keep their little outfits on," Buggy added, then shrugged, "I don't see the point of them personally."

"It's just that kind of club, Buggy. Guys come there to be entertained and it's a good cover for us, while customers are watching the dancers they're not interfering in our business."

"Well, as long as you're not trying to get Sarah to be friends with any of those girls. They're all older and.....well, you know."

"...still, Joker owns it and...that...," Sarah felt uncomfortable. She just felt if her and Arthur dated, what if those dancers hit on him? What if he liked it?

"That what?" Joker asked.

"So who is it?" Buggy asked, changing the subject before it became even more awkward, "the girl you were talking about?"

"Oh, Harleen."

"Wait.....you mean Harley Quinn?? HIS EX?? Oh hell to the no!!"

"Buggy relax, she's actually nice. Besides it isn't your business or your choice to make."

"Harley?" Sarah was surprised. She remembered that name, "She was one of the people that saved me..."

"Wait seriously??" Buggy looked at Joker, "did you know this?"

"Actually no. But that just proves my point, she's a good person. You should give her a chance."

"Give her a chance, I'd give her my babies for helping Sarah." Buggy said

"Okay. As always you're taking it too far now," Joker shook his head.

"So you want...to make babies with Harley?" She asked.

Buggy chuckled and put his arm around her, "I'm not being serious, I wouldn't want to make babies with someone I never even met. It's just, I'd pretty much do anything to show how grateful I am that they saved you."

"Sure," Joker smirked.

"Oh please, I can't even remember even seeing what she looks like. I guess I don't have to hunt her down now like I was going to. Damn I was looking forward to the trip."

"Yeah, another trip with Alvida...," Joker teased him.

"Don't start! There's nothing between me and her."

"She wants there to be—"

"Well that's tough shit on her isn't it?"

"You wish I was yours," Sarah smirked.

"WHAT??" Buggy laughed, "oh sure, I'm pining away for you, baby. I dream of you every night."

They were just doing this to tease Joker and it was working, "Well you need to hurry up and get yourself a girlfriend," Joker pouted.

Buggy smirked, "my dreams of Sarah are all I need to keep me warm at night."

"Do you actually want me to slap you?"

"Woah. Easy tiger. You know we're just playing."

"Or are we?" Sarah teased and kissed his nose.

Buggy chuckled mischievously, "yeah, I mean we could hide our attraction by pretending to joke about it..."

"Buggy, do you want to keep your teeth?!" Joker frowned.

"Oooh. Touchy. 'Sup bro, you don't like the thought of your Sarah dreaming about me too?"

Joker then threw his cigarette lighter at him, but it only hit his hat because Buggy ducked. Sarah giggled, but Joker pulled her from Buggy and kissed her making her blush.

"Wow, that wasn't awkward at all," Buggy said, looking away but he chuckled, "I'll go now, so you guys can suck face in private....I'm gonna go.....make babies with Harley."

"Yeah you do that," Joker called after him as he left.

Sarah ran to Buggy and hugged him," I knew you were my Captain." She then kissed his nose.

Buggy chuckled and hugged her back, "always forever," he said softly, then more loudly he added, so Joker heard, "I'll see you later, baby, in our dreams."

"Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out, Buggy!"

"I won't, that's Sarah's job—"

"OUT!!!" Joker yelled and Buggy then burst into laughter and left.

She then shut the door and Joker took her face and kissed her again. Once he pulled back he held her by her chin gently.

"Finally, I have you all to myself," he smiled slightly, "I'm the only clown you'll ever need, Sarah," he then kissed her again.

She kissed him back. He gently pushed her against the wall and they make out. "A-Arthur..." she panted.

Joker was careful not to touch her other than her waist and face, because he knew she was just underage. He deepened the kiss and continued to make out until they were both breathless, "You're kinda wearing some of my makeup now," he chuckled.

She blushed at him and playful grabbed her chin smirking.

"You know...there's really nothing between me and Buggy. We just like to see you blow steam." She blushed.

"I know...he loves you like a sister. I can't help being jealous though. I guess it's because I'm crazy about you," he kissed her cheek, "I will find him a girlfriend though. I won't be as jealous then," he admitted.

"I would like Harley...she and I promised to be sisters for life."

Joker smiled, "that's sweet. Perhaps we could all go out. Maybe bring Buggy...like a double date without him knowing it," he chuckled, "and say his date is Vida."

"Hopefully Ivy won't get jealous," she giggled

"She probably will. She's always had a thing for Buggy. But she'll get over it I'm sure"

"Ivy? Poison Ivy?"

"No you said Ivy, I think you meant Vida."

"Oh...yeah she would to," Sarah didn't know Vida, only that she worked with Buggy only out sea missions, and that she had a thing for Buggy. She didn't even know what she looked like.

"Oh, you mean Ivy would be jealous if Harley dates Buggy?" Joker laughed, "perhaps Ivy and Alvida could cry to each other about it."

Sarah giggled with him. Then leaned in and kissed his painted nose.

"It's getting late. I better walk you home," he rubbed his nose against hers and kissed her again.

"It's been late...," she checked and saw it was now 2am, she then hugged him not wanting to leave.

"I know but it's okay, I have a car and I'm going back to my folks any way. If it's too late for you to go home you could stay with us. But I don't stay here anymore."

"...please? I don't wanna sleep alone."

Joker nodded as he led her out of the apartment and down to his car, "of course. I'll sneak you into my room so that my folks don't think there's anything funny going on."

He then drove them to the Golds' home. Once there, he picked her up bridal style and carried her into his bedroom. He gently put her into the bed and climbed in beside her, holding her close.

She then snuggled close and rested her head on his chest, "thank you..."

"Of course," he kissed her head, "I'm glad you're here. You don't have to thank me."

After a long pause, Sarah finally spoke, "....I love you..."

"I love you too."

She then lifted her head up and kissed his painted lips again. He smiled against her lips as he kissed her back. She then dropped her down back on his chest and snuggled close.

He wrapped his arms around her tightly, "sweet dreams, Sarah. Obviously not about Buggy," he joked, "Goodnight, honey."
