Ultimate Gambler

Celestia: Are you awake?

Jesse: Barely.

Celestia: Well, while I have your attention, may I inquire what your plans are for the next few days?

Jesse: Handle the ranch, drink, avoid all my life problems, the usual. Why?

Celestia: I will get to the point, do you wish to accompany me on a vacation to Las Vegas?

Jesse: For that gambling competition you keep going on about?

Celestia: Yes, I would love to have a handsome man like you to put my arm on....

Celestia rubbed Jesse's hand seductively.

Celestia: You could even participate in the competition if you wish, the grand prize is one million dollars.

Jesse's senses jumped up.

Jesse: When do we go?

Celestia: My private jet is set to take us tomorrow night.

Jesse held Celestia's hand.

Jesse: Lady Ludenberg, would you give me your blessing to accompany you to Las Vegas?

Celestia blushed.

Celestia: I would be honored, be sure to bring a suit.

Jesse wore a classic tuxedo as he entered the casino with Celestia, and entered the VIP gambling room.

Jesse: Classy.

Celestia: Oh of course.

Jesse pulled a chair out for Celestia, taking her jacket off for her.

Celestia: Such a gentleman, I feel like the belle of the ball.

Jesse: Mom raised me right, I guess.

The Pit Boss entered the room.

Boss: Welcome, now you all know the stakes, money....

The room lights turned red.

Boss: And your lives.

Jesse looked at Celestia, sweating in panic.

Jesse: D-Did he just say what I think he said?

Celestia: Yes, a game with the ultimate steaks.

Jesse attempted to get up from his chair, but found his feet bound to the floor with mechanical bracers.

Jesse: The hell!?

Celestia: You will be free as soon as I win. There is a bomb underneath your chair by the way.

Jesse sat back in his chair in deep thought as Celestia played against five other men, who one by one were blown through the glass skylight.

One down.

Jesse reached for the knife he kept in his shoe.

Two down.

Jesse tried to pry his feet open with his knife.

Three down.

Jesse: MOTHER******!!!!

Four down.

Celestia faced the last man, and managed to pull a winning hand.

Celestia: I win, as usual.

The last man was launched through the skylight.

Pit boss: Congratulations Lady Ludenberg, you have won.

The braces on yours and Celestia's legs were released, and Celestia was given a suitcase of money as a reward.

Celestia: That was fun. Did you enjoy it Jesse?

Celestia looked at Jesse, who had passed out from stress.

Celestia: (Giggle).
