Dusk decided to take a break off the new burden that she and her siblings had to now face after facing that new problem of theirs. She decided to go to the one place where all drown their sorrows in, a bar.
As she entered the bar that was full of drunk men and women laughing and howling, it brought back memories of her time in Dallas. The times where she sang in front of the crowd, where she met Jack and...Victoria. That's when she thought back to the battle at the farm, how her heart broke once she learned of one of her friends that she considered a sister was on the forces of the evil and wanted to end her and her adoptive siblings. Oh, how Dusk wanted to end Victoria with all her might, the words she said to Victoria still stung in her head.
"I'm still the same Victoria you met. We're best friends, remember?" She whispered, placing a hand on Dusk's shoulder. Dusk looked up, meeting the redhead's brown eyes. "No, we're not! Best friends don't lie to each other..." She responded coldly.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to save my family. Mark my words, I will NEVER speak to you again for the rest of my fucking life."
Little did Dusk know, that those words were a breaking point for Victoria. It was the moment she realised she no longer wanted any part in all this Commission buisness, it made her lose Five and now her best friend. "I'm not gonna let it influence me anymore." She told herself. After she left with Lila, she completely broke down in tears with Lila hugging her. It only reminded of her of when Five left and Victoria was completely overthrown with sadness. So after arriving in the new universe, she decided to help Victoria get over it in ways of getting her a new look with clothes she saw that would look good on the redhead and a pigtail over shoulder hairstyle. She even got her a puppy called Mr. Pennycrumbs. That's when Victoria then made the choice to forget all about Dusk and Five as well as the Commission.
As Dusk sat at the bar and ordered a drink, she didn't expect to hear the voice of what she thought to be a friend. "Gimme another." Victoria was in the bar! "B-But, miss, you've already had 5 and shouldn't you have some ID with you-" The redhead wasn't ready to hear it. "I SAID GIMME ANOTHER!" The bartender, with hands shaking, gave Dusk her drink and went to make another drink for Victoria. Dusk took in a sharp breath before saying, "Didn't expect you to be here of all places." The spy-suited girl inhaled and exhaled before facing Dusk. "Didn't ask you, fire head. And anyway, after all that's happened to me, I'm just going to live with the pain." She spat. "Fire head?!" Dusk nearly screamed. She then took a deep breath and let all the anger wash away. "Well, it's true. So what? Are you gonna burn my hair or something?" Victoria said with a glare. "No." Dusk simply replied. "I just needed a place to clear my head." Victoria just let out a scoff before downing her drink.
Dusk then began to think to herself. True, she found out that her friend was apart of something to destroy her siblings but the one thing she didn't do, was hear out what Victoria wanted to say. "That's why she's so cold..." Dusk thought. "It's like she was a sculpture and me, Five and The Commission were the ones wrecking it until she was nothing but remains." Victoria downed another drink. "You know? Maybe I can help." Dusk then said as Victoria put down her glass. "Help? I thought you hated me." Victoria reminded. "Well, maybe but that doesn't mean I can't help you and Lila, I didn't hear you out that day and it's my fault. Just let me help you, Tori."
