Smile For Me [Cupid Challenge: Susan]
Jack was rather ambivalent about Valentine's Day. He liked it, because when he had a long term significant other -long term meaning a couple weeks, he received gifts and Jack liked receiving gifts. However, when Jack was painfully alone, as he was now, it was just depressing to watch the slew of straights wander about gushing over chocolates, candies and shades of rouge. Maybe it was because he was lonely, but he stood out on the street corner, looking out over the City with a certain degree of frown on his features.

This, to be plain about it, sucked. Valentine's Day alone sucked. But Jack would endure, he always had before. He'd just order some flowers, have them delivered to himself with a mystery note attached and make it look to all around him like he was involved.

He didn't feel it at first. The shift in his emotions and a sting in his heart. He didn't notice it until his eyes caught sight of a young girl crossing is path. "Hello," he said, trying to draw her attention. Something was off, something was not right.

What was with people carrying weapons around with them? Obscure, non automatic weapons at that. He looked at the arrow as she offered it forward. Jack supposed it was nice enough. Nice for an arrow. If arrows were suppose to look nice.

There was a moment of remembrance, when Jack recalled a second of pain that occurred shortly before he'd run into the young woman. "Alright, I'll bite. If it wasn't one of yours, where do you think it came from?"

	"I have no idea but I have heard talk of a flying creature that has been shooting them" Susan offered. "From what I could see these arrows had pink tips and not feathers, so I ruled out my arrows having been grabbed" she added. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If there was someone going about shooting arrows that caused strange feelings to take root in them it had to be something wholly unlikely. Something Jack would believe in. Like Cupid. Had to be cupid. There was no other logical explanation to Jack. "Cupid!" He said, raising an accusing finger. "That little cherub has always been out to get me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Cupid?" Susan was a tiny bit confused. There had been no creature of that name during her time in Narnia so it was not making sense. "But this is so strange, I've only felt this way once before" thinking of Caspian. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, you're young yet, you wouldn't." Jack looked around and surveyed the area to see if anyone was watching them. His mind was set on the Cupid idea now. It seemed the most likely explanation. "I don't feel this way toward girls." Ew. Girls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I only felt this once before and he was only a few years older" Susan was thinking of Caspian of course. She was racking her brain as she spoke,"But maybe there can be some good in this little twist of fate" she offered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jack eyes her suspiciously. "What sort of good?" He really hoped she wasn't going to get all clingy on him, Jack didn't get into the whole clingy thing with girls. He also hoped she wasn't going to go all mushy on him. While Jack didn't always mind mushy, there was a line and this would cross it. This was a girl. A young girl at that. Just. No. (Reply to this) (Parent)
