One Bad Day...

"Look! You want me to go along with this...we're gonna have to make some changes in plans." The younger jack said to Bud and Louis as they sat in the fast food resturant and got the final plans in place. It was the last few days before the holiday break from school, and everything was set in motion for the heist. "Look,the places like real estate agencies, they keep their payroll in checks at the offices, we steal a bunch a checks, what are we go with them? The Vine Street Medical Office will have the office petty cash and the cash co pays on hand, twenty five or ten buck plush the charges the pateints in a Dr's office a day...that office has to keep their daily intake in safe! I know, I saw it when I was an extern there as part of the school's senior program before I dropped out of it."

He said this as Bud fed his grease spattered face more chicken nuggets, thinking the situation over. "Well...If you're so sure, I guess we could go for the Dr's instead of the real estate office." He said as he let a drop of ketchup on the yellow smiley tee shirt he wore that day.

"Good second condition, no one get's hurt...I'm half temped to asked we use unloaded guns, but we may need to fire warning shots, but nobody gets hurt on this, got it?" Jack said sipping vanilla shake from his cup. Lou chuckled softly then began to laugh at the suggestion. "I mean it! Do you idiots have any idea what assault with a deadly weapon gets you? As a felony, we're looking at ten years for just pointing guns at them armed robbery with anyone getting wounded? That's five more years, and if they die?...Thirty years to life! We get busted and the worst we get is fifteen years for armed robbery and assault, but if no one's hurt...they might go easy on us...more so given our ages...over legal but under twenty one.

"What are you our lawyer all a sudden?" Lou said as he stuffed a burger in his mouth.

"I may as well be, A court appointed lawyer is useless in this country, and I can't afford to pay my senior dues, let alone pay for some Gargamel to spring us." He said as he finished his shake. " No body gets hurt...we don't even fire the guns if we don't have too either...got that?" He said as they finished what would be the last meal in this resturant.

"Yeah sure, whatever man...you got your disguise for the job right?" Bud asked as he looked at the purple back back under the table. Jack picked it up; unzipped it, and placed a purple button up shirt, purple pinstriped pants, and a green soccer shirt on the table. Then he placed....

"Holly shit dude! I didn't think it was possible but the boys at DC somehow made The Joker even scarier! I'll bet those secretaries at the front desk are gonna shit themselves seeing you in this thing." He says as he tugs on the rubber.

"I also got green contact lenses to match, they'll make my eyes bulge behind the holes...and listen to my impression...okay...You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight? I say that to all my prey...YOU KILLED CAPTAIN CLOWN!" He said trying to capture the feel of them both..."Okay uh why don't you check back in with me when you're ready to take this seriously fellas? Because quite frankly...You're not contractually tied to reality. There is no Sanity Clause! Any more than there's no Sandy Claws."

"Santa Claus isn't real? Lou asks with a dumb founded almost disappointed expression."

"Idiots..."If you weren't hiding in the shadows like a couple of little girls, this would be over so much faster."

"The hell you say to us?!" Bud said as he reached for the knife in his pocket. Jack softly held his hands and patted his shoulders calming him down.

"No..no guys...that was...more impressions...see I"m really trying to get...in cognitus for this little...gig you know? If you're good at something never do it for free...So I opted to do as many of these uh ugh voices for ugh Mr. J as possible." He sat back down and opened his copy of death of the family up and began to read it. "Every panel he appears in, this guy is scary...I wont't let you down sir, I'll live yup to your legacy as the street punks of the future did."

"Dude? Is this kid talking to The Joker like's he's real listening to him through the comic book? Bud asked Lou behind his back.

"The crazy one Bud...why do we always get the crazy ones?"

The dank air smelled of mold and still water, the harsh lights forced her eyes open when they shinned in her face. Fluttershy snapped her head up and looked around, the twenty something veterinarian was in dismay and couldn't remember what had happened. She was back in the cafeteria of Canterlot High, only it certainly had changed since she last saw it. The once shiny clean wooden floors were covered in splotches of various stains and grimes. The plastic tables all had faded and discolored plastic, and the lights above had grimy dust build up on them.

She could Identify a few others down in the cafeteria with her; Lyra heartstrings, Big Macintosh, Carrot top and Rose-Luck. There where others...but they were nameless people...and dead. She had no idea who they where once, but the sicko had somehow dyed their skin white and hair green. Fluttershy could see cans of spray paint all over the cafeteria floor, not too far from their bodies, so that cleared that mystery up. He had also sliced chunks of their cheeks off exposing the rotting sinews of muscle under it. Twisted smiles as the eyes rolled around in the decaying sockets, a few even fell out onto the floor.

"Oh...my...God! Lyra?! Big Mac?!...What's going on?!" Fluttershy asked trying to get up from her seat only to feel heavy iron chains on her wrists, holding her down. She looked up to the cafeteria table, a silver covered platter lay in front of her. A few seats down, Lyra stirred and looked up at the other living guests, she could hardly believe he'd taken them back here.

"Flutershy?...He kidnapped you too?"

"Yup...Looks like it...i think he's bout to finish what that loony started eight years ago, I'm...plum actually scared he's gonna kill us guys." Big mac said with noticeable fear in his voice.

"When I get my hands on Jack, I'll stuff his head so far up his own ass he'll have to fart to breathe!" Some one shouted rattling their chains, before a voice like glass cut through the air.

"No no stupid, Don't be crude now!" They looked over to the door the Dazzlings once had burst through to spread animosity among them, and before that the mane six had gone through them to inspire the school into unity. He stood in his signature purple Joker get up...and a cane tapping on the tables as he walked down the rows to her. He occasionally stopped to lift the head of one of the dead and make the mouth flap like a macabre puppet.

"Watch out Jack! These guys look pretty mad at getting invited to the reunion!" He said in one voice as the dead eyes of some guy in a black suit flapped. "Really, what's the matter? You fellas don't like the party arrangements I made?" He asked before cackling madly.

"You're insane Jack! " Lyra shouted at him struggling in the tight ropes he'd tied her up in.

"Reallly? I thought I was a cancer?...No wait my grandpa died OF cancer...so let's fight a man WITH cancer...hahahahahhaha!" He made his way over to Fluttershy, she softly cried as he ran a wormy white hand through her pink hair, his hands smelled of spray paint. "Awwww don't cry Flutters, I'm not going to hurt YOU guys...at least no the way these poor saps got it." He said pinching the cheek of some dead woman in a secretary uniform beside her. "You know I only want everyone to have the most fun tonight here at good old C.H.S. I mean, what's it been? Eight years since we said goodbye? A bit short most reunions wait a full ten years to catch up...but you never know."

"Please...let us go Jack...what did we ever do to you?" Fluttershy said as she softly felt the hot tears running down her cheeks whir he wiped away.

"Nothing Flutters...I just...brought us all her to reflect on life...and all its...injustices...now come on...you haven't even touched you...DINER!" He said this lifting the cover of his tray, there laying squirming tied up with turkey strings, was Flutershy's rabbit Angel Bunny. He was a little long in the tooth after eight years, but rabbits live longer than most pets like him. Jack had tied him down to the tray and covered him in pig blood (available at most major Asian markets..no seriously!) and arraigned a few florets of iceberg lettuce and sliced carrots around him, the poor rabbit's binding so tight he couldn't even eat them. Fluttershy fainted in horror seeing him squirm, covered in blood and hungry.

At least he had some decency and didn't kill him...
