Band of Five Attributes (Re-Written)

Kaguya’s eyes went wide, and she turned her head so she could spit her tea away from the table and everyone else who was present. She then turned back to the purple pegasus, an ear twitching, before nearly shouting “What?!” at the highest pitch of voice she could possibly muster.

“Okay, that’s just low.” Koto hissed, slamming a hoof on the table. “Seriously, what’s next on their agenda?!”

“I have no freaking clue what’s going on at this point.” Yuuki replied, sighing afterwards. “Frankly, since they’ve been shoehorned off the flight team, I’m afraid to find out.”

Takashi crossed his forelegs and shook his head. “I still cannot believe they had the nerve to call you the town bicycle. Hell, I’m pretty sure they don’t know what that phrase even means.” He murmured.

“It sure does seem like they’re pulling those rumors straight out from their asses, though. I’ve heard some pretty bad gossip, but for the love of our fatherland, this is the worst yet.” Rekka stated, resting a cheek on a hoof. He waved the other in a rather dismissive manner. “What the fuck has possessed them lately?”

“Again, I’ve no idea.” Yuuki replied, her wings shifting nervously. She shrugged her shoulders after that.

“Whatever it is, at the rate they’re going, I’m surprised they haven’t landed in Canterlot’s dungeons yet.” Raki sighed, waving a foreleg in the air as if trying to shake a clingy beast off of it.

“Agreed. Next time they start shit with you, I’d suggest finding the nearest royal guard and pointing him in their direction.” Takashi remarked, putting one hoof behind his head to scratch at the scalp.

“It’s already bad enough with what they did in the past, and those actions may further spur them into something that just crosses the line which marks the point of no return.” Kaguya agreed with a nod of her head.

“Perhaps I’ll insult them in our mother tongue. They wouldn’t know what the fuck I was saying.” Nagare stated, a small smile on his face. He imagined the confused looks of those idiots as he insulted them left right and sideways in Japanese, and he chuckled at that image.

“I don’t think egging them on any further is a good idea. If that were to happen, they’d ask for a translation sooner or later.” Tenmei replied, rolling his eyes as he spoke.

Nagare thought over the words of the earth pony for a bit, quickly realizing he gave a very valid point. “There’s that…” He murmured, spreading his wings briefly.

“Perhaps I should just find a guard now and get it over with.” Yuuki remarked, sighing once more.

“But you’re only spreading a rumor about those assholes, even though it’s true. That’s stooping to their level.” Kaguya replied, rubbing her eyes with a hoof. “While I understand that they need to be detained, they still need to break the law for that to happen.” She added, shooting the purple pegasus a worried glance.

“I suppose that’s true.” Yuuki murmured, the words of the white-coated earth pony sinking in already. Her wings shifted again as thunder boomed outside.

“Alright, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I’ve another question to ask.” Kaguya started, still looking at Yuuki. “What the fuck kind of dream did you have this time?”

Yuuki’s heart skipped a beat, and her eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. Beads of sweat marked their presence in faint trails as they fell down her face. “It’s just...fucked up…” She murmured, cringing at the thought.

“How fucked up, on a scale of one to ten?” Takashi asked, blinking.

“About one hundred and ten.” Yuuki quickly replied, still cringing. Thunder boomed outside again.

“Give her some time. She doesn’t look comfortable talking about it.” Raki pointed out, causing everyone else to look at her. Yuuki breathed a sigh of relief, wings shifting once more as she relaxed.

“I remember when she flipped. I guess we’ll have to give her time for this, too.” Kaguya stated with a nod of her head.

“Besides, a fucked up nightmare like the one she had would be hard to explain anyway.” Raki remarked, holding a hoof towards the purple pegasus for emphasis.

“I suppose you have a point on that front.” Takashi murmured, scratching the back of his head with a hoof again.

Thunder boomed outside again.

“How long’s this storm supposed to last?” Rekka asked, brow arched as he moved his head up to look at nothing in particular.

“I dunno. All I know was there was supposed to be a big storm today.” Yuuki replied, sighing. She briefly spread her wings. “Rainbow Dash called cloud-gathering herding.”

“Makes sense if you think about it.” Nagare stated with a nod of his head. “For all I know, storm clouds may as well be treated like blue sheep with golden-colored fleece that crackle with electricity.”

“Wouldn’t the fleece turn dark grey as the electricity’s being produced, though?” Tenmei asked, glancing at the green pegasus whilst chuckling.

“Pretty much.” Nagare answered, smiling warmly.

Thunder boomed outside once more, and this time the rain pattered on the roof so much it sounded almost as if it had been hailing.

“I’m certain nobody’s going outside today, unless they want to catch a cold.” Takashi commented, looking up at the ceiling as the sounds persisted.

“So much for spring showers.” Kaguya murmured, also looking up towards the ceiling.

“Will there be school for Mimi and Mimu tomorrow?” Tenmei asked, ears twitching as thunder crashed once more. The house shook briefly from the sound.

“Can’t be too sure of that, but I’ll go as far to say as it’s not likely.” Takashi replied, sighing.

“Let’s be glad we’re not lightning rods right now.” Koto murmured, glancing at everyone else.
