As the bell chimed, Jack stopped immediately, the disappointment evident on his face. Had he reacted sooner and dominated the hill, he could have won, but he let his mind get muddled. He would have looked up when Violet spoke, and he would smile a bit. "Yeah, looks like you guys win. I'll have to try much harder next time..." He would say almost to himself. He was still a bit sore over being the slowest speedster. Even the old man could out pace him, and he wasn't sure how he would get faster.

Jack would walk over to Violet and offer her his hand. "What should we do now?"

Violet looks down at his hand and brushes passed it. After all that has happened, she doesn't really feel in the mood to talk to anyone. "Um," she starts. "I think I'm just going to go read a book in my room for a little bit. I don't really want to do anything at the moment." She turns and stalks to her room without saying anything else to him.
