As Willow leads Jack to the play room, Richard is still skeptical about Jack.

"So, how did you get onto the streets?" Willow asked. "Uh, how old is she?" Jack asked Richard. "12." Richard replied. "Uh, you, don't want to know." Jack said. "Jack, she is a year younger than us, you could tell her." David said. "Shut it David, she looks so innocent." Jack responded. "Hi David! Who ever you are!" Willow exclaimed.

David looks surprised by getting acknowledged by someone.

"Wait, how did you know he was there?" Jack asked. "W-well, I saw the way you were looking, and thought the David guy would be there." Willow replied. "Nice playing along Willow." Richard whispered. "So, where are we going?" Jack asked. "To the play room! We're going to do a game I love the most!" Willow responded.

As Willow, Jack, and Richard reach the playroom, and open the door, Jack looks amazed.

"So many things!" Jack exclaimed. "Wait, do you, not have anything like this when you were on the streets?" Richard asked. "No, I was lucky if I could find clothes that weren't torn up, this is amazing! Half bloods really do have it good." Jack said. "Wait, why do you say that?" Richard asked. "N-no reason." Jack responded. "Uh huh, so, what were you wanting to play Willow?" Richard asked. "Dress up!" Willow exclaimed. "NOPE, GETTING OUT OF HERE!" Richard yelled.

Richard tries to leave, but Willow closes the door with thread before he can leave.

"Crap, I forgot she is the Governor of thread and fabric." Richard said. "Meaning?" Jack asked. "She can control it at will." Richard replied.

Jack seems un-phased by the various colors of thread and fabric floating in the air.

"Dude, are you not scared for what she is going to do to us?" Richard asked. "Man, I've seen, a lot, LOT worse, a little thread doesn't scare me at this point." Jack replied. "Oh boy! This will be fun! But first, we need new clothes for Jack." Willow said.

As Willow said that, various threads, strings, and fabric, start to whirl around Jack.

"Oh boy, he's good as gone." Richard said. "Ooh, I know just what to make him!" Willow said, as the whirl starts to pick up speed. "Why were you scared of this Richard? Inside the whirl wind of fabric and thread is beautiful!" Jack said. "Give it a second." Richard replied. "Ow, ow, OW, rug burn, I see what you mean now, but I've had worse done to me." Jack said, as he closed his eyes.

As Jack said that, the whirl dissipates quickly, revealing Jack in his new clothes, wearing blue jeans, a white shirt, and a black plaid shirt that buttons up in the middle over top of the white one.

"What happened? Why did the rug burns stop?" Jack said. "Whoa, that looks amazing!" Richard said. "What do you mean- Oh my gosh." Jack said. "Not bad, for someone that usually puts me in purple sequin dresses." Richard said. "Oh don't think you're out of this." Willow said. "Oh brother." Richard said.

A whirl of fabric and thread starts to form around Richard, this time, with some leather in the mix.

"Oh boy, here comes a pretty princess dress." Richard said, in a worried tone. "Man, you can work those thread, you're really good at this, and these are so comfy, I've never had anything like these!" Jack said. "Thank you very much, I practice a lot on Rich to get a little more of a handle on the power, I usually do complicated things like sequin dresses, or something like that." Willow replied. "Man, you look amazing Jack, she really knows how to work that fabric." David said.

As David said that, the whirl around Richard dissipated, revealing Richard in his new clothes, wearing a dark Grey shirt, a leather jacket, and grey jeans.

"Whoa!" Jack exclaimed. "Sweet! A leather jacket! I didn't know you knew how to make these!" Richard exclaimed. "Oh please, I am going to be a fashion designer one day, so I have to practice with all kinds of clothes." Willow said. "Wait, why do I feel a catch with this?" Richard said. "Oh boy, you knew right, I expect 25 dollars for the jacket Richard, Jack gets his free cause to him, this is the best clothes he has ever had, and cause he's new." Willow said. "Man, your sister drives a hard bargain, but she's good at it." Jack said. "No helping her Jack!" Richard said. "I wasn't helping her, I was complimenting her." Jack said. "I swear if you think you can get with my sister-" Richard started but was cut off by Jack. "EW, NO! No offense, but my heart has already been taken by someone." Jack said. "HAH I KNEW IT!" David yelled. "DAVID SHUT UP, NOT BY ANTHONY!" Jack yelled, while being flustered.

Jack and David start to argue, a few minute later, Danny comes into the room.

"Oh, hey kids, man, Willow did wonders, I'm surprised she didn't put you in princess dresses." Danny said. "Yeah, but she's charging me money for the jacket." Richard said. "That is fair, leather isn't that cheap to get." Danny replied.

While he said that, Jack and David are still arguing.

"Jack, quit arguing with David." Danny said. "But he-" Jack started but was cut off. "No buts." Danny replied. "Ugh, you're lucky this time David." Jack said. "Anyway, I came to get you three for supper, here, follow me, Richard and Willow can show you around later." Danny said.
