Isabelle stared at him, fear entering her eyes. Pulling her arms to her chest she backed away from him, beginning to tremble.
"You-You can't be serious," she stuttered, "No, no way. My friends, my parents, my kittens! No!"
With that she turned and ran, terrified over her life changing so drastically. She raced towards the edge of the carnival, breathing hard as her heart raced and when she reached the perimeter she ran into the invisible barrier so hard it knocked her unconscious. She collapsed into a heap on the dirty ground and didn't move.
Laughing Jack,who had heard Isabelle's smash into the barrier, sighed and lifted her. He brought her back to R.J. and gave her to his more innocent twin.

*R.J took the girl gently and softly touched the bump on her head*
"Thank you for getting her... I'll keep a closer eye on her to make sure she doesn't hurt herself again..." *He smiles sadly at his twin*
"She just needs some time to adjust..."

"That she does," L.J. said gently, looking down at the girl, "Don't take her flight personally, R.J. Her whole world has changed and unlike a child, we can not simply encourage her to play with you forever. She's smarter then that. When she wakes up she'll probably cry, they usually do, but she'll calm down eventually, and then she'll be your friend for life."

*R.J nods sadly and cradles the girl in his arms much like a parent would a child*
"I... I can handle a few tears. It will give me a chance to help her warm up to me..." *He said quietly, his voice soft and somewhat sad.*
"A-and... I'd like her to warm up to you too... I don't want either of us to be lonely, and, if I don't get her used to you, you'll be alone for a long time..." *His voice was somewhat hesitant, and sad*

"...Thanks, kiddo," L.J. said kindly, running his hand over R.J.'s hair, "You'll be a great friend to her, the best she's ever had and she'll never want to leave you. Thanks for thinking about me but don't worry, I'm used to being alone...Get her used to you first and then maybe...maybe we can work something out, just...before she wakes up... You are my best friend, don't forget that."
He gave R.J. a quick hug and then quickly went away. He was already to close to the girl and he had promised he wouldn't hurt her by accident.

*Sighing, R.J took the girl and brought her to his private tent- he wouldn't dare put her in the tent he and L.J shared at times. Even if he'd promised not to harm her, there was always the possibility of an accident. Once inside the tent, he laid her on the bed gently, and he quickly retrieved a warm washcloth to dab at the bump on her head. As he did, he hummed "Pop goes the weasel".*

After about half an hour Isabelle began to wake up, moaning lightly as she rolled onto her side and blearily opened her eyes. When she saw R.J. sitting besides her she didn't try to run or get up and she didn't scream, she just looked at him.
"Did anyone get the number of the truck that hit me?" she asked weakly.

*R.J stares at Isabelle curiously for a moment, then he reached out to touch the bump on her head*
"You... weren't hit by a truck... You ran into the barrier surrounding my carnival..." *Very slow and nervous*

"Oh," she breathed, wincing in slight pain when he touched the bump on her head, "I thought it was something like that...I didn't see it, I was just...on my back, falling...My head hurts. Am I going to be okay?"

*He touches her bump gently*
"You'll be fine sweets. You just need to rest up a bit, let your head recover... You hit the barrier pretty hard..." *Very slow and calm*

Maybe it was her head injury messing with her mind, but Isabelle actually smiled at him, softly.
"You called me sweets," she said, "No one's ever called me that before...It's nice."

*His eyes widened for a brief moment, before a soft smile graced his features. He put his hand on her cheek and caressed her skin with his thumb*
"Heh, I'm glad you like your nickname~... Now, you need to lie still, and relax." *He spoke calmly as he gently helped her roll back onto her back. Then he pulled a sheet over her to keep her comfortable*
"Can I get you anything?" *He asked sweetly*

"You're cute when you smile," she breathed softly, placing her hand over his when he touched her face, sighing peacefully, and she didn't protest when he helped her lie on her back.
"Water?" she asked, closing her eyes.

*He smiled softly and stood up*
"Alright, I'll get you a glass of water... You just lie here and rest..." *He quickly turned and left*

Isabelle closed her eyes, lying still. She had lost her bag when Laughing Jack had grabbed her so her phone, wallet, everything useful was gone. She couldn't call her parents (or the police) and she had no idea where she was so even if she did get out somehow she had no money or way to get home. She thought briefly about getting up but quickly dismissed the idea. She knew that she couldn't escape and besides, the nice clown was taking care of her when she was so hurt.
Maybe he'd let her write a note to her parents, just so they would think she ran away and didn't worry themselves sick over her. She missed them so much.
She felt tears in her eyes and rubbed them bitterly away.
