A/N I like Jo/Ash. Wanna fight about it?

One night when Jo is just barely sixteen, a drunk hunter sweet talks her all the way to the porch steps and down towards his car before one of their regulars intervenes and reminds Jo and her would-be suitor that she has school tomorrow.

The next day when she gets home after class, Ash is playing a once sided game of pool in the bar.

"Jo, c'mere," he called, sinking the eight ball in a corner pocket. She dropped her bag on behind the counter and joins him at the jukebox. He pointed at a chair. "Take a seat."

"What's this about?" She takes the seat and raises her eyebrows at him.

"Just listen." He slams his palm against one side of it, a tried and true method of getting free songs. The machine lights up and he presses a few buttons and music starts coming out.

After a few songs he nods and sighs.

"You like it?"
"Yeah… I guess. What is it?"

" This is side one of Zeppelin IV. Remember this music."

"Why?"

" 'cuz if any boy ever plays it while you two are alone, break his jaw and run away."
