Everything Jake. #602 Jake and Mercy Jake: Mercy... the first time I was in the self-defense class, right after we sparred, there was... something... I can’t explain what... between us... Mercy: Oh, that.. Yeah, I felt it to. But, Jake, you know as well as I do... nothing good can come out of anything between us... Jake: I know. I agree. Totally. It would be wrong on so many different levels. It would hurt a lot of people. It would confuse a lot of people. It would be, just... wrong... silence Mercy: But... Jake: But... Mercy: Look, jake, I’m not going to pretend that there’s nothing there. I felt it, just as much as you did. We can't act on it, not now, not... Jake: Ever. Right. I got it. But where do we go from here, Merce? Mercy: I... have no idea. I guess we have to settle on just being friends. I think... I think I could deal with that. As far as the future goes, who knows, but for now, friends. I know it sounds bad, and don't think of it as a rejection. It's just the wrong time for us to be anything but. Jake: Okay. Well, I'm gonna go cry now. Heh heh, "friends". Could you have said something better than that? Mercy: I could've said I never want to talk to you again. And that I think you're gay. Jake: True. But I could've said the same back to you. Mercy: Touche. Britney. Jake: Toothpick. Mercy: Kelly is better at the insults. Jake: That's the only thing he's better at than me. Mercy: Doubt it. Jake: You'll never know, "friend". Mercy: And I'm sure it'll bother me every night before I cry myself to sleep. Jake: You know it. Mercy: Yup. I do. silence Mercy: Um... I have a question, unrelated to, uh, us... Why do you think Jenkins calls it a "Self-Defense" class if all we do is fight each other? I mean, it was a little different before you got in, we were going into stuff on the powers of the mind, TK, telepathy, empathy, stuff like that. Why did he stop that when you got to class? Jake: I have no idea. What was he teaching you? How it “doesn't really exist”? Mercy: No, Jake, no. He was showing us how to use it.
