"Well... I...uh..."Pet stammered as she tried to explain to Kit.
"Aww He**, Kit there is no easy way to get this out. I was married once before." Kit almost dropped her cup.
"It was love at first sight you know the fairytale kind. We had a great marriage even better than any fairytale. He died in my arms and I promised myself then and there I would never love again."
"Awww Pet," Kit put her hand on her arm. Neither of them heard the horse approach and the rider dismount and creep up toward them.
"That was almost 15 years ago. I know they say time heals all wounds and it did. I had accepted his passing. Then Artie came into my life and everything changed."
The man behind them had been about to burst into their camp but held back.
"What changed, Pet?" Kit knew Pet needed to talk it out and that might keep her from what Kit thought she had planned.
"Everything. My outlook on life, being with someone again. Artie showed me a side of myself I had burried when I burried my first hisband."
"Kit, I can't do this not again." They heard a twig snap and Pet stood whirling around, gun drawn Kit stood and drew hers. |

"Don't shoot, I think I'm a friendly." the man said as he stepped out of the shadows.
"Artemus, you fool you almost got yourself shot!" Kit replied as she holstered her pistol.
"Judging by the look on Pet's face I still might." Artie said noting Pet had not put her gun away yet.

Pet regarded him suspicously as she slowly put her gun away.
"Not that I'm not happy to see you, Artie, but what are you doing here?" Pet asked.
"Oh just in the neighborhood and decided to drop by." Artie tried a smile but Pet didn't return it.
"Kit," Artie turned to her, "assuming Pet hasn't filed for divorce yet would you mind allowing my wife and I some privacy for just a bit?" Kit nodded immediately and make the excuse of wattering the horses and quickly made her exit. |

Kit went to the horses and scouted up the hill, she knew the sheriff would be arriving soon and she didn't want to start another shoot out at least not yet..... She wished she had brought her coffee.

Pet gsetured for Artie to sit on the rock vacated by Kit and she sat back down and sipped her coffee. Artie picked up Kit's cup and smelled it.
"A bit hardy for breakfast isn't it?" Artie asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"Hair of the dog.." Pet said staring into the flames.

*Wade returns to the Queen Anne and finds his wife and Pidge finishing breakfast.*
Wade removes his hat:"Pidge, good morning. Apple, I found him. He says to get Bess to show us where Pet's spot is...that is where we will find them, he is sure."
Apple, Wade, and Pidge hurry away from the hotel to find Bess.
Apple:"Pidge, we will continue our conversation a little later." |

"According to the morning papers it must have been some dog," Artie looked at her with a mixture of fear, anger and sadness.
"Crud happens," Pet shrugged her shoulders.
"Pet this is so unlike you. Does it have anything to do with what you and Kit were disccussing..."
"What Kit and I were discussing before YOU so rudely interrupted is NO LONGER any of YOUR business!" Pet shouted as she reached for the coffeepot, sure Kit was getting an earfull even up on the hill. |

Pidge picks up the check and leaves a nice tip before leaving.
Captain Wade tries to stop her but she says, "Now, Captain. Let a newly rich widow do something nice for a change, ok?" She smiles and he reluctantly bows and rejoins his wife. |

Artie rises and moves to sit next to Pet. He pulls her into an embrace that Pet fights.
"I can't do this, Artie!" She tries to pull away but he holds on tight.
Pet stops struggling and just sits there breathing heavily, on the verge of tears upsetting her even more.
"You don't understand, Artie," Pet sighed.
"Then talk to me, make me understand." Artie held her close and ran his fingers through her hair, knowing how that always calmed her. |

*Apple stops and pulls her husband aside.*
Apple:"Wade, I still have to telegraph Washington. Can you and Jeremy do this? I want to be with Pet and Arte, but I need to do something for them first..." she looks imploringly at the Marine Captain.
Wade:"Of course. Pidge and I will take Jeremy and get this taken care of, I hope.
*Apple runs to the telegraph office, the train is too far for now.*
OOC:What are bess and Jim doing, anyone?

"Well, you heard the conversation I had with Kit..." Pet let the sentence drop.
"Yes, I heard, and I'm so sorry." He hugged her.
"I don't want your sympathy!" Pet shouted "I don't want.." Pet paused,
"Pet, dear, it's not a matter of what you want it's a matter of what you need." this time Pet did pull away and she stood in front of the fire. |

TELEGRAPH OFFICE~
Apple:"I need to send this telegram quickly...it goes to this telegraph key..." The clerk recognizes the key, and registers his shock. "Yes this key. Now hurry, it is urgent!"
*Apple has already received word from Colonel Richmond's office, he is on his way to San Fran and will be in town shortly.* |

"I don't need anything and I don't need anyone not even YOU!" Pet shouted as she downed her coffee.
"Hey, now...where is all this coming from?" Artie asked as he watched her pace.
"I can't need anyone. Not again. I can't hurt like this ever again!" Pet threw her coffeecup to the ground. "If that means..." before she could comment further on her destructive ways she was spun around and her eyes locked with his and she found she couldn't pull away. |

Up on the hill Kit was keeping a lookout and heard the shouting.
"Oh man that man has his hands full, Pet doesn't want to be talked out of this." Kit muttered as she watched the road. |

Bess and Jim locate Jeremy and take off to find Pet and Kit.
Jim'Ready to go Bessie?'
Bess'Will you shut up with this Bessie?'
Jim'For each time you called me Jimmy last night, I will called you Bessie twice.'
Jeremy'You were pretty funny, never seen you like that before.'
Bess began leading them to the location of Kit and Pet. |

"Pet, you can't believe that. You've got to listen to me! You are better than you think." He searched her eyes looking for any signs he was getting through to her.

*Colonel Richmond is met at the train depot by an angry Apple Hamilton. She is pacing the boards as the train approaches, and the colonel has seen her from his window. He indicates her presence to an aide, and then he disembarks in front of her.*
CR:"Agent Hamilton. What brings you here to meet my train?"
Apple:"Begging your pardon, sir, I will try to hold my tongue, but I believe that you have an inkling of what I am about. My friends...I hate to let personal matters get in the way of duty, but Colonel, Artemus and Pet are so happy. To tear them apart..." Apple is close to tears, but she refuses to let them appear in front of her superior.
CR:"I have received word from the president that you have contacted him as well, Apple." He places a hand on her shoulder. "Apple you know that President Grant sanctioned this marriage, just not them remaining field agents together."
Apple:"What is the difference Colonel? What difference does it make? They are in love with each other whether they are field agents or not!" She spat the words at him. |

Kit hears a rustle of noise. She turns around with her pistol.
Bess'Hang on Kit whoa! Its just me.'
Jeremy and Jim followed behind.
Kit lowered her pistol.
Kit'What are you doing here?'
Bess'Well if I remember last night the sheriff said we could get you out this morning, but you took care of that.'
Jim'You mean you remember that Bessie?'
Bess'I do remember that part.'
Kit'What does he mean remember?'
Jim'Bess got a little tipsy last night and thought your explosions were fireworks.'
Bess'Well, they were pretty.'
Jeremy'Where's Pet?'
Kit'Talking to Artie, and we need to leave them alone.'
The trio got off their horses and sat beside Kit and waited. |

Pet sighed heavliy and sank down on to a nearby rock. Artie sat next to her. He knew he had to do something to bring her to her senses.
Artie takes Pet into his arms in a heated embrace and he kisses her not sure if he sould be surprised that she returned it. He pulls away and looks at her to see if the anger is gone. What he sees confuses him so he continues talking to her.
"Pet, I made a decision after we left the train," he ses her confused look and explains, "I wired Washington after you left and told them I was taking some time off."
"I rode to town not knowing everyone would stay. I thought long and hard about things and how I want them to be..." Pet just looked at him not sure if she had the courage to listen to anymore.
"I have decided that I'm going to talk to President Grant himself if I have to..."
"Artie..." Pet bagan but he cut her off.
"No, I have thought about this and if you thought about it you'd agree. I am going to talk to whomever I have to but I think, no I KNOW we need to stay married."
