The yellow to my blue

Butterscotch watched Blitz's back until he melted in with the rest of the crowd. As soon as Blitz was engulfed into the body of students in the canteen, Butterscotch stuffed the baguette into his mouth and ran out of the canteen, racing towards the stairs.

Oh my... That was so embarrassing! He cringed internally as he sprinted up the first flight of stairs.

Two more and I'll be back with my friends, in a comfortable environment! Scotch motivated himself to keep going.

With, less big lines, less embarrassing boys with messy hair and deep magenta eyes, and less people! He breathed heavily as he finally pushed the big glass doors to the third floor open, walked towards the music room. Before he went in Scotch stopped to catch his breath.

He peaked through the small slit of a window in the door, to see Elusive impatiently tapping his foot, and Bubble Berry running his fingers fluently over the keys of the grand piano, grinning as he did.

Scotch pushed the door open to hear the wonderful sound of Mozart being expertly performed. Which immediately stopped as soon as his presence was noticed.

"You really do have a talent for that, you know..." Scotch offered Berry a weak compliment to cover up the fact that he was late.

"Oh my Solaris, Butterscotch!" Elusive sighed exasperatedly.

"We have been waiting for, like, forever for you!"

"Sorry, it's just I ran into Miss Note, and then into Bli- I mean Rainbow Bli-"

"No matter, no matter! Because guess what?!" Elusive cut Scotch off excitedly.

Scotch sighed. When you were having a conversation with Elusive you could never get a word in edge ways...

"I don't know Elusive, what?" He deadpanned, completely uninterested.

Elusive didn't speak, but only shoved a crumpled piece of paper into Butterscotch's face. He took the paper and read it over.

End Of Year Dance

All Years Can Attend

6:00pm-8:30pm

3rd of July

Theme:

Magical Mystery

A dance? As in dancing with girls and stuff? And dressing up? Big crowds and loud music? Scotch did as best he could to steer the conversation away from that undesirable topic.

"Oh! That reminds me! There's this 'summer spectacular' thing, Miss Note wants us to perform in, here's the leaflet..." Scotch pulled the now dog-eared leaflet out of his pocket and handed it to Elusive who looked at the object with confusion, and then at Butterscotch, and then back at the leaflet, and back at Scotch. He then tossed the leaflet to Bubble Berry, who caught it with ease, and stood up straight, looking down at Scotch.

"What's wrong?" He asked in an offended tone.

"What do you mean?" Scotch replied innocently.

"You... You just ignored the poster completely! What's wrong with the dance?!" Elusive's voice went very high pitch.

"Nothing! It's... Fine..." Scotch voice was getting quieter, which was usually the result when he got nervous.

"Fine?"

"Fine."

"Tell me what you really think!"

"No, it's okay..."

"Tell me!"

"No, it's fine..."

"Please tell me!"

"Please just stop asking me..."

"Tell-me-tell-me-tell-me!!!" Elusive pleaded stamping his foot.

"Well... Okay... Since you really want to know..." Butterscotch inhaled deeply.

"The decoration is always tacky with some sort of cheesy theme that never actually fits with the school's demeanour, how could it since the theme is never going to be 'just wear a hoodie and sweat pants', The music is either played by some grandpa disc jockey, but that's usually for primary schools, which means in high school it's some student who claims to be an 'upcoming DJ' which means he'll probably play the music way to loud and it'll be that horrible 'dubstep' music or that R&B stuff that always makes me feel really uncomfortable, and we have to dress up in suits and that makes me look and feel really awkward and just like some sort of penguin, although penguins are actually really respectable creatures, I've lent you the DVD of the march of the penguins right? Well, anyway not like a penguin, more like one of those waiters that everybody makes fun of, and I just know that everybody will laugh at me! And then we have to dance with girls and I find it hard to even be in a big crowd, how am I supposed to dance with a girl in one? And it always just ends up that somebody brung alcohol and whole thing just gets closed down after an hour!" Scotch ranted, suprising even himself how much of an opinion he had on the subject.

Elusive's jaw hung open in complete surprise. He was about to say something when Butterscotch quickly interrupted him.

"Was that the bell?! I better get going then, because I have geography next and you know how Mr Globe can be, okayseeyabye!" Scotch blurted out as fast as he could, before rushing out of the room and down the stairs.

"I still haven't given that DVD back to him yet..." Bubble Berry commented thoughtfully.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Butterscotch unlocked his front door and opened it, revealing the big living room that could be seen when entering his house. His mum would still be at work this time of the day, aswell as his dad, and his siblings were either at college or university, or at their own houses, so Scotch had the house to himself. He placed his bag down on the table, and walked tiredly towards the kitchen.

Once inside he reached up towards the cupboard where the rabbit food for Angel, his pet rabbit, was. Butterscotch was average height for his age, but not tall, so he couldn't quite reach the big bag. He stood on his tiptoes, his sneakers squeaking against the tiled foor. He was just a fingers distance away from reaching his prize. Scotch grunted with effort and was finally able to grab the bottom corner of the bag of feed.

A grin of relief broke out on Butterscotch's face.

The door bell rang. It surprised Butterscotch enough to make him jolt, which prompted the bag of rabbit food to come tumbling down on him. Scotch lay on the cold floor, winded, with the heavy bag of feed lying on top of his stomach. Luckily for him, it was unopened. The doorbell sounded again.

Scotch groaned as he got up, holding a hand to his stomach. He trudged out of the kitchen and through the living room to the door. He opened it to see a girl he had not seen in quite some time, despite their frequent communication through letters.

There stood Eris, the goddess of chaos, in all her glory. She had silver white wavy hair, dip dyed black, that went all the way down to her waist. Covering her torso was a brown dress blouse, pink tie, and grey waste coat with darker verticle stripes. Accompanying this was a tube mini skirt identicle to the waste coat, accentuating her curvy figure. She wore two high heeled boots, one green, one tan. She was known for quirky dress sense. At least, that's what Elusive always said. Her skin was pale, but not in a sickly way, more like an English rose kind of way. She had bright yellow eyes, with no iris, and red pupils. Her eyes were very unique, unlike any other, but seemed to fit her perfectly, as they darted around curiously.  She had one blue unicorn horn coming out from one side of her head, and a white deer's antler coming from the other.

Everybody Scotch knew agreed she was attractive, but nobody dared ask her out, or even ask her about her romantic life, because, well, she would either humiliate you by laughing at you, or bite your head off. Of course this was all hypothetical, since nobody had actually done it.

"Butterscotch, what a lovely surprise to see you here!" Eris cooed smiling.

"This is my house..."

"Yes, yes, of course!" She waved a hand dismissively at Scotchand walked into the house without an invitation.

"Please, come in." Butterscotch gestured to the empty space where Eris once stood, and then closed the door.

"Well it's nice to see you, how have you been?" He asked sitting down on a sofa nearby. Eris sat down next to him.

"Oh it's been absolutely awful! Solaris has kicked me out of the castle!!!" Eris stated, slumping her shoulders.

"What?! Why?!" Scotch asked, wide eyed. He had never heard the prince to be cruel, so what could make him remove Eris from the castle?

"He said that I had gone too far! All I tried to do was make him and Prince Artemis breakfast in bead, and accidently burnt the toast! You know I've never been the best cook, I was just trying to do something nice for him!" Eris complained tearfully and very melodramatically, clicking her fingers to produce a spotlight shinning on herself.

"I can't belive the prince would do that! How awful!" Butterscotch scratched his head in bewilderment.

"Yes, I know, isn't it just?" Eris clicked her fingers again and the spotlight vanished.

"So can I stay at your place until he forg- I mean until he lets me back in the castle?" She fluttered her eyelashes innocently.

"Yes, of c-" Butterscotch was inturupted by a fast paced and loud knocking coming from the front door.

"One second..." Scotch walked to the door and gingerly opened it.

Dusk Shine stumbled forwards as he opened the door. He steadyed himself and brushed off his blazer, even though it wasn't dirty.

"Where is she?" Dusk looked wildly around the  room before he spotted the shocked looking goddess.

"YOU!" Dusk pointed an accusing finger at her.

"YOU ABSOLUTE BITCH!!!" He shouted at Eris, stomping towards her. Scotch could see Dusk's magic charging up in his horn and knew something bad was going to happen.

"Oh shit..." Eris muttered wide eyed.

"DUSK SHINE!" Butterscotch said sternly, breaking Dusk's focus and so forth breaking the spell from being cast.

"That is no way to treat a friend, especially after going through such a horrible ordeal as Eris! I assume you heard what happened?" Scotch gave Dusk a firm look.

"Heard? I was there! And for what she's done she should be turned to stone again, I'm pretty sure I'm morally obligated to beat the crap out of her!" Dusk turned back to Eris and started channeling his magic again, but then stopped, realising Eris had put up a forcefeild around herself.

"All she did was try to make breakfast..." Butterscotch furrowed his brow in confusion.

"Seriously?! Sh- wait..." Dusk looked at Eris's cocky expression, and then back at Scotch's confused look.

"She hasn't told you yet, has she?" He asked slowly sitting down on the closest seat available.

"She told me that prince Solaris kicked her out of the house for burning breakfast." Scotch said, realising that this was Eris he was talking about, quite literally the opposite of an angel.

"A bit of an understatement! She burnt down a whole section of Canterlot castle!" Dusk gave Eris a cold glare, who in return clicked her fingers and made the forcefeild thicker.

"Well, at least she was trying to good thing, I don't think that wa-"

"The breakfast was poisened."

"Oh..."  Butterscotch looked at the floor, a bit shameful of the fact that he had been so gullible. He looked back to Eris who had a sly grin on her face, directed right at Dusk.

"Eris!" He gave the girl a patronising look.

"What? Can't a girl try to take control of Canterlot once in a while?" Eris laughed nervously.

Scotch remained silent.

"They are gods! Immortal ones at that! Even if the poison did kill them, they'd just come back alive again!" Eris threw her hands up to emphasise the 'coming back alive'.

Scotch remained silent.

"The whole fire thing was a mistake, everybody makes mistakes don't they?" Eris clicked her fingers and a halo appeared over her head. Dusk stood up, snatched the halo, and snapped it in half.

"Eris, I don't care about that!" Butterscotch exclaimed exasperatedly.

"DON'T CARE?!" Dusk shouted. Scotch coward for a second before giving him a look that pretty much said 'shut up'.

"What I care about is the fact you lied to me! Tried to take advantage of me! I am very much offended that you don't think I would accept you without you having to lie to my face!" Butterscotch spoke calmly, with a stern tone.

Dusk Shine grinned smugly as Eris had a look of regret and guilt on her face.

"But, but, butte-"

"No buts! You can stay her, but I'm still annoyed with you." Scotch turned back to Dusk Shine.

"You should go see Elusive, he missed you at school."

"Ok, sure, goodbye..." Dusk let himself out.

Butterscotch turned back to the kitchen to get on with feeding Angel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day was a Saturday, and a beautiful one at that too. The sun beamed down warmly on the dew soaked grass of Scotch's garden. Butterflies and bees zipped from one flower to the next, collecting it's sugary nectar. The trees blew calmly in the slight breeze, and

birdsong could be heard.

Butterscotch woke up to the sound of his alarm clock, and went downstairs to feed his pets and water his plants. In the kitchen he found a stack of fresh looking pancakes, with maple syrup dripping down the sides. A note had been placed in front of the stack. It read:

Hope you enjoy, I made them myself, don't worry, not poisoned

-Eris

Scotch examined the pancakes cautiously. After satisfying himself that they looked regular, he took a knife and fork from the cutlery draw, and cut a chunk out of the stack. He popped it in his mouth, and it tasted delicious.

"Alright Eris, I forgive you!" He laughed to himself.

"Oh thank gods!" Scotch heard a clicking of fingers coming from nowhere and there appeared Eris.

"Right, I'm going back to bed, bye bye!" Eris smiled at him and traipsed back upstairs.

And Butterscotch sat down on a stool and ate the pancakes. They were good. He then accidentally fell off the stool. And that was painful.
