Joker had ran to the saloon, he hid in the back office where Jackson was sitting.

"I don't know what's wrong with me Jackson. I saw Sarah and Bruce, but then Sophie called to me, she had GiGi with her, and......I didn't know what to do! I thought if I spoke to Sophie it might upset Sarah, but if Sophie saw me with Sarah she might say something that would make things awkward....," he groaned, "left poor Gary to distract them."

"I think you better fix things with Miss Sarah because look."

He looked, after Gary took Sophie and Gigi home, Sarah stormed off and Bruce called to her and ran after her.

"I think Sophie made things more awkward. From I only heard from both of them, Sarah asked if Gigi was yours, and Sophie told her yes...why is Sophie lying...plus she was showing off a ring? As if...she got...engage..."

Joker was in shock. He got out and ran to chase after her. He ran to Bruce's house and knocked on the door. After a while Alfred answered.

"I need to see Miss Sarah, it's urgent."

Alfred nodded but wouldn't allow Joker inside. He went inside to speak to Sarah.

"Miss Thomas, that clown ranger is here and urgently wishes to speak with you. Shall I send him away?"

"Tell him to meet me at my farm house...in the afternoon...I don't wanna talk to him now. I-I...," she broke down.

Bruce went to Sarah and hugged her

Alfred nodded and went back to the front door

"She says to meet her at her farm house this afternoon. She doesn't wish to speak with you right now"

Joker was panicked hearing this "but, please I need to speak with her now—"

"If I were you sir, I'd be grateful that she's agreed to meet with you at all...." Alfred said

Joker sighed, nodding sadly. Then he left.

Sarah was at her farmhouse before the meeting. She was still hurting. She had to believe in Joker. Sophie seemed to exaggerate about Joker. But what if it was true. She remembered Joker said she wasn't his first. Was it...was it...Sophie?

Joker went upstairs in the saloon looking for Ivy. He needed a word with her before he left to meet Sarah at the farmhouse.

He knocked her door twice and the opened it "Ivy, I need a word with you....."

"Oh dear lord, please tell me your not drunk," she said.

"You wish. no, I need a favor and I'm willing to make it worth your while..." he took out a roll of hundred dollar bank notes.

"...ok what's this for?" She asked.

"I want you to be nice to Sarah. I think she could use a friend around here. It's pretty clear you don't like me so she's no reason to be jealous of you, and I want you to watch her back....in case any of the other girls try to get too friendly, you know what I'm saying."

"...," she sighed, "well its been kinda lonely since Harley refused to come back...so...I will, but i can't promise you." She took half since she couldn't promise it, "just because the girls can be tricky, but I will do my best, Jo."

"Thank you, I know you will. And uh, please don't mention to her about....you know....that would ruin everything."

"Of course...and Joker...nothing happened between me and Harley...I heard some of the girls talking about us like as if we did...and I assume you and Gary heard."

He nodded slightly "yeah Gary mentioned something. It's good to know that you're not. I wouldn't want my best dancer getting caught and hanged."

"I wouldn't do anything stupid like these girls. Heck, someone might want me because I have powers here...and to be honest...i didn't think they would be any good. You see...I was cursed by a shaman, like that one we met at Joker's tribe. Thats how I got powers." She looked down.

Joker felt bad for her and gently put his hand on her shoulder, "that's terrible Ivy, it really is. I would gladly shoot the bastard that did that to you because, you're not actually so bad....but if it makes you feel any better, your powers are more like a gift. Think of all the good you use them for. You've healed people, you saved my life, and you keep all the plants alive around here, if it weren't for you they'd all be dead."

She smiled, "thanks, atleast...you're not bad yourself like all the guys I met...I am not...you know. I just like some guys. They can be...you know..."

He nodded, "I know. I'm ashamed of being a man sometimes because so many men are.....abusive, loud, rude, violent...I get it. So thanks. It's good to know I'm not quite as bad as all the rest," he smiled.

"You proved it...before we fought...it was just the booze talking, but hey...it got me a job here..." she giggled.

He laughed slightly, "It was just the booze talking. Anyway, you'll always have a job and a home here, and thanks for agreeing to be Sarah's friend. I appreciate it," he then have her a hug.

She just patted, "Rules first, you only kiss and hug her, no other girl...even that Sophie girl. I can tell this Sarah girl can be a bit jealous, but thats probably because she has seen Randall in the past flirt and kiss some the dancers here. She knows she can rust you...but...you know."

He promised and left. Once he was at Sarah's home, he knocked on the door. The door opened, but no one was there. He walked in unknown Mr Popo opened the door and shut it behind him.

"Sarah?" Joker called for her.

He walked into the living room, but froze and found Sarah tied up crying. He ran to her, but someone hit him down and saw Chief Joker.
