Every scream for their home team...

Every fan who saw it happened...

Every player on the field that was near the area...

Every ref that witnessed that moment...

Came to a outstanding silence.

The world seemed to freeze at that moment, where the sound of two twigs breaking could be heard on the sideline.

"And Magnus the boom has been stopped before the first down marker. Southwind makes the tackle for his team."

"Aww that's too bad." Cadance mumbles to herself as she stares to the the purple filly playing with her doll. Cadance was more than satisfied at the fact that her team is doing so well. On the other hoof, she was upset at the fact that Shining didn't even consider bringing both her and Twilight with him. But she learned to accept the things that happened earlier that evening.

Then something caught her attention.

"What's this? Magnus is holding one of his hind legs. Fillies and gentlecolts, I do believe he is injured. We're trying to get a good look at the damage and it se-eEEE OH SWEET CELESTIA!!! If you are listening to this broadcast and you have young foals in the room, please disconnect this broadcast. It looks co-" *click*

Cadance cut off the radio as she looked at the filly that sat next to her. She didn't want her to hear the continuation of that broadcast, but she wanted to know for herself what exactly was going on to have the reporter in an uproar like that. Without a moment's hesitation, she thought of the one way that this would work.

"Twilight... Let's go upstairs. I think it's time for bed."

"MAGNUS!!!"

Pearl once again found her voice, but for a reason that she had dreaded to live through during her entire marriage. As she banged on the glass windows the radio broadcast continued their coverage of the event.

"AAAAHAAAAAGH!!!"

Pearl instantly recognized the voice of the scream that pierced through the stadium. It was that of her own husband, who lied helplessly on the field. As his cries of pure anguish singed into the ears and heart of his wife, Pearl dropped to her knees as she looked at the area where her husband was located.

"The ref is coming out to address the play in question... He seems to be calling to the sound, let's see what he has to say."

Pearl remained speechless as she awaited the on-field verdict. Unfortunately, she didn't have to wait very long for the results.

" *ahem* Ruling on the field: There was no foul while the ball was in play."

The entire stadium seemed to shake with the piercing sounds of disapproval as the ref attempted his call.

"He was down on the sideline and tripped over his own hoof, causing his leg to bend in an unnatural manner. Upon resumption of the game, the ball will be marked on the spot of the Chevaliers' thirty-two yard line."

The stadium only got louder with the obviously bogus call. The fans in the stands started to chant so loudly that the refs on the field could not hear themselves as they argued on the ruling. Some fans had even threatened to throw objects onto the field as a sign of protest. As the chaos grew to a volatile state, guards stationed throughout the stadium started taking to the stands in an attempt to maintain order. Some guards had even opted to evacuate some of the higher paying attendees out of the stadium. Attendees, such as Pearl.

As the chants and insults continued to grow in volume and in number, the elevator opened behind Pearl, revealing two guards clad in armor and holding spears. The spear tips were covered in a protective cloth that ensured that any who dared to stand in their way would receive a proper 'warning'. Pearl turned around to address the stallions in uniform.

"Ma'am, I'm here as your escort. We will be assisting you as we take you to safety. Being that your husband is a player in this game, we will do everything we can to ensure your safety."

Pearl only turned around as she walked slowly to the window as one of the guards called out to her.

"Ma'am, we really need to leave."

She places a hoof against the glass over the spot where her husband lied. She hung her head as she closed her eyes shut. Her mind races with numerous thoughts, forming a large imaginary cloud above her head as the voices began to pour.

"Think Pearl. Think. What would you do in this situation. You must be strong. You must not show any fear. I'm so scared. My husband, is he going to be okay? Why is this happening? Magnus, get up. Rarity, please look away! Magnus baby, you're gonna be okay. How did it come to this? I'm so sorry. Rarity, mommy is going to have a foal. Shining Armor, you are the father. Please don't leave me! I can't be pregnant! Yes dearie, your father is going to be just fine. MAGNUS, IT WAS A MISTAKE!!! No matter what you do... No we didn't do anything inappropriate. Mr. Shining is coming to see us very soon. PLEASE SHINING ARMOR, TELL ME THAT YOU DON'T MIND ME BECOMING LIKE THIS! Don't do this, please! Rarity you have to trust me! I've been feeling sick lately. What's going on? Shining Armor, where are you? Sure, you can write to Mr. Shining, Rarity! Are you serious!? ...no matter what you say, or how you feel...YOU DID THIS TO ME!!! I'm going to ride you till you can't think straight. DON'T LEAVE SHINING ARMOR! Are you hitting on me? Oh Magnus, I promise to be there for you no matter what. ...under no circumstances... We will be together forever. Through sickness and in health, for rich or for poor, till death do us part."

"...dont cry."

As her last though fell from her cheek, so did the tears that followed. The vision of her betrayal to her husband had begun to manifest against the glass she leaned on. She saw the visions of her husband sulking in a corner as she approached him. Her very presence stirred him to anger as she reached out to him. Without warning, he turns around to shove her out of the way and storms off, in the similar fashion that Shining did earlier. As she called to her husband, chasing him along the way, his distance grew greater from her as she seemed to be running in place.

As her vision blurred from the flood of tears, she saw her daughter sitting at a sowing machine. She was a full-grown mare now and had grown to be even more beautiful than she could have ever hoped for. Pearl approached her daughter when suddenly she turned around to face her mother. When Rarity saw her mother opening her hooves to her, she didn't walked past her but rather through her. As the heartbroken mother turned around to see her daughter, she was gone.

As she took a sharp intake of air trying to retain her composure, Pearl saw a bitter Shining Armor that stood a few in front of her. A smile animated itself on her face as she placed a hoof on his shoulder. He did not respond. As she hugged him, she then realized that something was wrong. Something warm drenched her hooves as she hugged him. Pearl jerked back out of surprise as she saw what was covering her hooves. There was the distinctive murkiness of blood that dressed her hooves. Shining slowly turned around to look her in the eyes, mouthing to her a question? In his eyes lied the physical expression of his question; why? Looking down at her hooves once more, she saw the instrument of his demise. In the end, it was her that ended his life as he knew it.

Keeling over in despair, she screamed to the nothing that lied in front of her. She dared not to look at the glass to see the monster that she had become. She felt as if the world would soon turn against her, and it was of her own doing. Everything that she saw was nothing more than a reflection of what was to come. Her tears flowed freely as she screamed for the one who could make these visions go away.

The one who she ruined...

The one that she felt remorse for...

The one that she wanted to hold one last time...

"Ma'am, it's time for us to lea-"

"NO!" She screamed at the guard behind her.

"But milady, your safety is-"

"I... REFUSE TO LEAVE... NOT WITHOUT HIM!!!"

As the guard tried to approach the irrational mare, she ignited her horn as a means to inform the guard that she would not be leaving the room without the present company of her escort.

"I think tha-"

"I... SHALL... NOT... BE MOVED!!!" As Pearl's voice came to a climax, her magic fired off a stun bolt in the direction of the guard. She aimed well enough to graze the armored stallion's ear. As the bolt traveled it hit the wall behind the firm-standing guard, causing a black burn mark to appear. The enraged mare, drags her hoof against the ground in an offensive maneuver as she emphasizes her previous statement. "I MOVE FOR ONE STALLION! AND HIS NAME IS-"

"SHINING ARMOR, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?"

Longshot galloped after the teen, who jumped out of his seat upon hearing the botched call. Shining galloped down the stairs of the stadium at full speed, not stopping to heed the questions and pleas of his friends.

"THIS ISN'T RIGHT! DON'T DO THIS!"

Poindexter did the best he could to keep up with the apoplectic stallion, but the stairs proved too much of an obstacle for him to overcome. Shining made a break for the front barrier that separated the stands from the sideline.

"SHINING, YOU IDIOT! YOU'RE GONNA GET ARRESTED!!!"

Azure, who was usually on the receiving end of that statement, screamed out to his wrathful best friend. Shining, however, had already mounted the barrier. As his hooves landed, he could hear a familiar voice in the distance.

"Hey, Magnus! You need to watch those hooves! You could've killed somepony!"

Southwind was taking much pleasure of the fact that his rival laid on the ground helpless. He perpetually made jokes at the expense of the injured player.

"LET ME GO! SOUTHWIND YOU PIECE OF SHIT! YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE! THAT SHIT WAS ILLEGAL AND YOU KNOW IT! FUCKING DAMMIT, LET ME GO!!!"

Jetstream screamed to his teammates to release him from their hold as he tried to give the offending player a piece of his mind. And it took much of Screenshot's strength to keep him from getting ejected from the game.

"I'm sowee. Mwaybwe da wittle stwallion's wegs are mwade of gwass." Insulted Southwind as he circled around the coaches and medics that surrounded the wounded players position.

"Mag, we're gonna take care of ya. Just... try not to look down, okay?" Coach Bridgewater tried to assure his injured player that everything was going to be alright, but the pain that Magnus felt was contrary to the statement that the coach was providing.

"This is serious coach." One of the medics began. "He's gonna be out for a long time. He has a compound small metatarsal fracture... and judging from the pain he's going through, he's got a comminuted fracture in his large metatarsal. We need to get him to a hospital, now."

"Wow! Hey medic, how many screws does it take to put broken glass back together? Besides it's just a cramp. Let him walk it off!" Southwind screams out to the medics, taunting the downed player some more. At that point, Bridgewater had enough of it.

"Hey, fuck off! I know you did this on purpose!"

"Hey, get fucked! You heard the ref, he tripped!"

As the exchange of words continue on the sideline where the injury had taken place, there was a dispute among the refs on the field. The other refs looked at the head ref with disgust as they witnessed the call being an intentional targeting foul. But their dispute was disrupted by the sudden cheering of the home crowd. The refs tried to identify the source of the crowd's cheering until they saw an unauthorized teen rush the field, making his way to their position.

And faster than any of them could react, the teen bulldozed the head ref in charge.

"Well what's this? It seems to be that a fan has rushed the field and... AND HE TACKLES THE HEAD REF! HE TACKLED THE HEAD REF!!! SUCH PANDEMONIUM! The crowd is on their hind legs at this point!"

"Yes! You teach that bastard what for!" An excited Cadance screams out loud before realizing that she had sent the foal she was watching over to bed not too long ago.

"Cadance, is something wrong?" A small voice calls out from upstairs.

"No Twilight. Now go back to bed."

"The guards are having a hard time dealing with this crowd now! After a terrible call, a fan has blitzed the head ref in charge. If I didn't know any better... No, that ref should've known better! This is the play of the game folks!!"

"That's my boy! You wreck his shit like you did mine!" Pearl screamed against the glass as she stands inside of a room full of unconscious guards.

"Muuuuuuh..." One of the guards stirred as he began to regain consciousness.

Pearl merely knock him upside the head with a nearby lamp, producing a loud ring from the impact of the lamp and the metallic helmet.

"Ouch...."

"Holy shit! He flat-lined the ref!" Poindexter screams out in excitement as the other fans around the three celebrated the occasion.

"You bastard! Don't stop hitting him!" Longshot shouted out to the field.

"You fucking idiot! Who told you to go out there!?" Azure projected to the area where Shining was located. As he looked to the crowd around him, he couldn't help but to sympathize with them as they all saw how corrupted the officiating was for the duration of the second half. "...Aw, fuck it. SHINING! WE'RE COMING DOWN BRO!"
*
As Azure claimed those words, Poindexter and Longshot ran beside him as they made a beeline for the ref's position. They were about to hurdle the barrier, but were suddenly stopped.

"STOP! I will preserve order!"

The three teens stopped dead in their tracks upon seeing who it was that stood in between them and assisting their best friend. It was none other than the Captain of the Guard himself; Orion Sparkle.

"What's that?"

As the young teenager was held in the custody of two Chevalier players, one of the other refs as well as a guard walked up to the small brown sack that lied a little way's away from the battered referee. As they approached the small sack, they saw that there was something that shone bright gold that spilled out of it. Upon investigating the contents, they concluded that it was indeed money. The refs that continued to withhold their integrity stared into the eyes of the head ref.

"So you were paid off?"

"I-I- It's- I've never seen that pouch before! Who does that belong to? Confess!" The ref tried to place his obvious guilt on another, but to much of his displeasure his efforts were in vain. Not too long after, one of the other refs stripped the audio device from him and spoke into the intercom system.

"The previous play is under further review."

"You can't do that. You're breaking the ru-"

"AND YOU'RE JUST AS GUILTY! Even more so accepting bribes." Bridgewater screamed at the dirty official. As the head ref was about to explain himself, the other officials made their announcement.

"The ruling on the field. Holding on the offense; number twenty-three. Illegal formation; defense number forty-seven. Those penalties offset. Unsportsmanlike conduct; defense number forty-seven. Targeting foul; defense number forty-seven. That is a fifteen yard penalty and an automatic first down. Number forty-seven on the defense is ejected from the game. Bribing the official; on the defensive team. The coach is also ejected from the game."

The stadium fills with cheers and praises for the remaining officials on the field. The guards continued to hold their positions around the stadium to prevent any more fans from running on the field. On the Seaddle sideline, the coach was too busy throwing his headphones and more of the team's equipment around the place, swearing and screaming as he did so.

"That's bullshit! My team deserves this more than you do! We deserve the championship! NOT YOU!!!"

Bridgewater shouts from mid-field to the tantrum-riddled coach. "You don't deserve shit! You bribe the official, you instruct your players to make bounty plays, and you sacrifice your integrity for the sake of a damn cup made of steel and tin that's been guilded in gold. You don't play for the game! You play for the fame, and you would even pay to make that happened instead of earning it like everypony else does!"

"YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO NOT WIN IT ALL!"

"WELL I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR TRAGIC PAST THAT YOU HAD TO ENDURE WITH MOMMY AND DADDY NOT GIVING YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANTED! NOW GET OFF MY FIELD!!!"

The Seaddle coach didn't say much afterwards, he just continued to throw the team's equipment into the stands. He even went as far as aiming at the fans that dared to mock him. This only lasted for about thirty seconds before one of the guards teleported directly in front of him.

Southwind wasn't angry at all. In fact he smiled despite the knowledge that he was ejected from the game. What remained in his mind was the fact that the player he vowed to take out of the game was out of contention for a full off-season and some of the next season. Finally taking his leave, he taunted the fans one last time as he bowed to them and spitting on their field one last time.

"Thank you for taking care of Twilight for me."

"Oh, no problem."

Velvet paid the foalsitter her fare and also for the time she spent in taking care of her beloved daughter. Cadance nodded in acceptance, before speaking further.

"Uhh... Also, if you don't mind me asking, what kept you so late? usually you would be home a lot earlier than this."

"Well, there was a case number that I was reviewing that pertained to magical surges. Ultimately, I managed to dig into something that seemed really interesting. But in the end... let's just say that I didn't like the results of what I saw. So upon review the case another four times, I finally took in the fact that this case was indeed problematic."

Amora sighs as she gives her employer sympathy. "I... wish there was something that I could say to make you feel better about your day."

"Oh, it's no big deal. I'm just wondering when my other young foal will be coming home. I pray that he's not doing what I told him not to do."

"Nah, he's usually a well mannered colt."

"Well, that's good news. Just remember that he's off limits until he graduates from the academy." Velvet jokes.

"Mrs. Sparkle, you've told me this about seventeen times now." Amora states while feigning a laugh.

"Well make it eighteen. But I'm more than grateful for seeing that you understand why."

"Well now that you brought that up..." Amora thinks to herself as she tries to emit an answer from the unusually protective mare. "Actually ma'am, you never really clarified on why he's not allowed to date."

"Oh, well let's just say that he has a few things to learn about mares in general, and I would rather him learn about it from my instruction before he goes on and get's a random mare pregnant."

Amora screams internally as she identified Velvet's implied intent."Did she just... Oh Celestia EWWWW!" But her composure on the outside remains the same as it always was. "Yeah, I suppose."

"That boy, I swear he's so naive. But hopefully that will all change this year."

"Yeah, and I'll be the one to make that change and not you." Amora thinks to herself as she plays off her true thought. "Yeah, let's hope for that."

"Well, I better get ready for bed. It's been a long day."

"Well, goodnight! Please get as much rest as you can."

"Oh and I hope you do the same."

As the conversation ends between them. Amora flies in the direction of the stadium. Despite feeling a bit disgusted at Shining's mother, she's even more excited to get a glimpse of the game's progress, or rather the drama within it.

"I can't wait to see what's going on to cause such an uproar in the stadium tonight. I wonder if there's a riot or something."

As she flies through the air, she closes in on the stadium's location. Even more excited, she thinks of a way to surprise the stallion she longs for.

"Shining Armor, despite your mother's unwillingness to allow us to date, I am going to take you out tonight. And you will thank me for it later."

Upon flying over the stadium, she makes a quick kick-dive into the stands and unknowingly in between three certain teenage colts. Upon her unexpected entry she takes a quick breath as she takes a seat. Suddenly, three voices scream out in shock.

"YOU!?"

As she opens her eyes, she finds that she sitting amidst three of the four colts that she shares a majority of her classes with.

"Poindexter? Longshot? Azure? What are all of you doing here!?"

"We paid to get in! What about you? It is rather unexpected of you to drop by without warning." Azure argues as Amora places a hoof on her chin.

"Well, I just heard of all the drama that just happened before I left a client of mine. I only know up to the point where the ref made the completely bogus call and got flattened by a fan. So what did I miss?"

"Oh nothing unusual." Poindexter states sarcastically. "The call's been reversed, the opposing coach got booted as well as one of his players, Shining tackling the head ref, the offi-"

"SHINING ARMOR TACKLED THE REF!? THAT WAS HIM!?" Amora interrupted as she looked to the field.

As her eyes scanned the area, she failed to see the colt she wanted to surprise. Seeing that he was not in the stands, she scanned the field below. Her eyes combed the field until she saw two familiar bodies on the field. The first she identified as Shining Armor, but the second she identified the other figure, her wings shot open out of the sudden realization of who Shining was being arrested by.

"But d-"

"We will speak on this later, cadet."

"Yes... sir."

As the saddened cadet was carried off to custody, Orion shook his head as he took in the knowledge that he had to arrest his own son. It wasn't the fact that he broke the law, but it was the fact that he would do it so openly and in a place such as this. He wouldn't hear the end of it as soon as this game ended but if there was one thing that he did take the pleasure of doing was that he held the official that was caught in wrongdoing on the field and that he managed to save a few of the fans from any physical harm.

He did his job, but he had to arrest his son in the process.

As Shining walked down the hall bound in chains, he heard a young voice calling out to him. As he continued his march with the guards that held him, the voice seemed to get louder. As soon as he recognized the voice, he told the guards that escorted him to speed up.

"A little anxious to get into the station, aren't we?" One of the guards mutters to the accused.

"Must be. You really wanna avoid your dad now that he put you in your place." The other guard managed to ask under his breath.

That wasn't it at all. He just didn't want to answer to the filly who's life he managed to ruin.

As the paramedics carted a bloodied Magnus off the field, the crowd cheered for him. They cheered that he would have a speedy recovery and for him to one day return to the field. It didn't take long for the cleanup of the area where the event occurred to take place. A small crew that specialized in the cleaning of a crime scene ran out to the field in order to clean blood off of the sideline. As they completed their task, the whistle was blown to resume the game.

Meanwhile in the tunnel...

"Daddy, are you gonna be okay?"

Rarity ran alongside her father as he was carted off, crying as she ran. Magnus extended a hoof out to her and spoke as calmly as he could.

"Sweetie... Daddy won't be home for a little while."

Rarity tried all that she could not to scream at the news of her father not coming home. But her tears continued to fall as she ran. "Promise me... that you'll be okay."

That all she wanted She didn't care about the fact that this could possibly end his career nor the fact that he was bleeding. The only thing she wanted was for him to come home safely.

"I'll be fine."

That was the last thing she heard as she finally conceded to fatigue and allowed the others to continue running. As she watched the medics run away with her father, the sobs she held for the sake of being strong for her father finally broke through as she slumped in the center of the empty hallway.

She wanted her knight to save her, now more than ever since she was alone.

"Son, you do realize that you are being charged with assault?"

"...Yes sir."

Three hours had passed since the games conclusion. Although the Chevaliers won the game, Shining's battle was now with the law itself. He dared not to look into his father's eyes as he questioned him.

"...I just can't believe you would do something like this."

"I'm sorry dad. I didn't want to but I just couldn't let him get away with that." Shining answered, defending his motive.

"So you would incite a field rush for the sake of causing the game to be ruled fairly?"

"But it was Magnus... He was hurt for nothing. He was assaulted and was given a serious injury and for what? DOING HIS JOB!?"

"My boys are assaulted and brought to serious injuries every single day. Some of them don't even make it home."

"But it's a job that doesn't call for that kind of injury-"

"And in that game, these injuries happen. Just like they do with every other job that requires manual labor and physical strength."

"But it isn't the same."

Orion didn't hesitate to pull his son across the table, staring him in the eyes as they were brought face to face.

"Listen to me, and look at me. You, a cadet, is more prone to these kinds of situations than anyone else you go to school with. So in that sense how dare you undermine what a pony's job entitles. Do you not realize that these jobs, despite the high amount of pay, requires us to push our bodies to the limit? Sure I get paid a six figure income, seven if you include the yearly bonus, but that requires me to place my life on the line. I have seen construction jobs that pay less than what I get that has the occurrence of a death every now and then. Pencil pushers that sit behind a desk would literally jump out of a fucking window, in order to get a snippet of the freedom that you have."

Shining felt uncomfortable with his father driving his face into close proximity as he did and proceeded to look away. That is, until his father shook him once more.

"If you look away from me one more time, so Faust the almighty help me and Celestia as my witness, I will hook my hoof to the side you look to just so you would see it coming."

Shining quickly shifted his eyes as his father stared into him.

"Our jobs requires us to do what is necessary in order to maintain order and more importantly to keep peace in the realm. And what do you do?"

Shining could already feel the shame and the disappointment that his father had for him at that moment. He winced as he awaited the inevitable choice of words that his father would soon reveal.

"You did a good job."

Shining blinked blindly at his father upon hearing those words.

"Not only did you take out one of the most controversial refs out of the system, you displayed to all of Equestria what kind of a crook that coach was."

Shining stared at his father for a few seconds before asking what all was going on. "...Come again?"

"That coach fixed so many games this season and the last season that he actually would've managed to win a championship, had it persisted. Now he's being investigated for a bounty charge. This opened up a case that we've been trying to have since April of last year."

Shining continued to look at his father with a dumbfounded expression. "...What did I miss?"

"I know we're not the police, but when you have something that ends up permeating to these other cases of assassinated officials and their abused families, it's hard not to get involved. Especially if it involves more than one victim and more than one occurrence."

"I'm lost. So what you're saying is-"

"This guy is a gangster, a timberwolf in a coach uniform. He's been threatening officials with these games.If they accepted, out of fear of course, then he'd pay them to keep quiet and paid them to fix the game. But if they'd refused, he'd have them eliminated in order to hide his tracks. This also applies to any close members of the family."

"So he's paying them to keep quiet, and killing them if they ever considered reporting him... Then that means that the ref I tackled-"

"Was a victim and not completely corrupt. Which adds to why he continued to feign his innocence on the pouch of money that we found on the field."

Shining looked down at the table upon having his previous statement proven right. "I... I deserve to-"

"We're gonna clear you out somehow. Your charges will be omitted and your case will be swept under the table."

"But how? Not even a pony with your authority could even hope to drop this, especially with so many witnesses."

Orion released his son and removed himself from the table. As he walked out the door he turned back to his son. "There's always a way."

The door closes behind him as he trots to the other room. Opening the door, he sees the other officers that witnessed their actions behind the glass. The officers remained silent. Orion, suspicious of the unusual silence, speaks first.

"Well gentlecolts, how do we do this?"

One of the officers turns around to point to the wall behind Orion. "Well sir, you should ask your visitor."

As the blue unicorn stallion turns around, he sees a pink figure hiding within the shadow. Taken aback, Orion jumps away from the figure and prepares himself for combat.

"Those actions won't be necessary, captain." A young female voice calls out to him.

Relieved to hear the familiar voice, he lets his guard down. "Oh, it's you... what are you doing here?"

As the figure approaches the light, much of her figure is to be revealed as a medium sized mare with a pink coat. She had a multicolored mane with a light blue ribbon tied in a bow. She had a cutie mark depicting a blue heart. She donned both a horn and a pair of wings. As she pulled out a paper out of her saddlebag, she placed it into the hooves of Orion. The document was a form of omission, a roll of parchment that stated that the accused of the crime could walk free from any charges that was brought against them. As Orion reviewed the document, it already had the royal seal placed upon it as well as a signature.

Princess Mi Amore Cadenza

"My reason is simple, captain... I'm getting my boyfriend out."

Author's Note

To prevent confusion in the later chapters, Cadance will be called Amora whenever she is around others. The only individuals that she will be recognized as her nickname will be to Twilight and her father.

Now there's a reason this case came up about the coach. What it is will be revealed later in the story. Though I may warn you that it may come to be a bit of a shocker to see what happens, if their paths should cross.

And let's face it, did you really think that Shining's life was going to be all sunshine and rainbows?
