Derpy is casually skipping and humming to herself as she walks up the hallway leading to Octavia's student council president office and can see Veronica leaning against the wall beside the door.

"Morning Veronica~" Derpy sings, stopping just before the door.

"Oh... Hey Derpy. I wouldn't interrupt them at the moment. I came here with Amore an hour ago, from what I can tell Octavia slept in her office." Veronica informs Derpy.

"One million dark fang illusion strike!" The pair can hear Octavia yell which makes Veronica grab Derpy and pull her away from the door.

The door is suddenly sliced in various places which propel large chunks of the door down the hall. Veronica slowly lets go of Derpy and they both peak inside the office to see it's a mess, bar the pristine sofa which has a quilt and pillow on it. Amore is standing inches away from Octavia who has her rapier drawn and a seriously pissed off look on her face. Amore's silver case lays beside the sofa within her reach.

"Tavi, please calm down! It isn't that big of a deal!" Amore states, nearly tripping over the coffee table.

"She is your ex and old sparring partner who just so happens to literally bat for the other team, not to mention our greatest fucking rivals, Crystal Prep Academy! Do you see why this is a big fucking deal!" Octavia protests holding her rapier to Amore.

"That was two years before I came here! I didn't realise she would rise to be the Shadowbolt captain so quickly. We used to be very close, but not since I left without a word." Amore states in defence.

Octavia blinks a few times and frowns slightly, lowering her rapier a little.

"What do you mean, 'left without a word'?" Octavia asks.

"I figured if I ran away it never happened, that I never liked her enough to give a shit... Selene, myself and a mare called Midnight Allure used to spar together. Me and Midnight were almost evenly matched, but with her being just that slither better than me... One day after a session I caught her and Selene privately in the gym equipment room and before you ask, no... I got a good enough look to know exactly what they were doing. So, the next morning I packed my things and left." Amore confesses.

"I assumed you never had a marefriend previous to myself, but Selene-" Octavia is cut off by Amore, who clenches her fists and flares her wings out.

"You are the first! I've never had a marefriend previous to you! No pony else!" Amore shakes her head in defiance.

Octavia recoils slightly at Amore's fierce defiance to the truth. She sighs deeply before sheathing her rapier and putting it aside.

"I understand now... That time with Shintaku back in the crypt. She only got around to showing what was in my heart." Octavia walks over to Amore and places her finger on her heart. "However, she never showed the darkness within yours... Looking at you now, I understand why you blew up like you did... What caused you to leave me without so much as a discussion. You were scared I'd leave you or worse, just like Selene did..." Octavia tightly wraps her arms around Amore.

Amore slowly releases her fists and retracts her wings at Octavia's comfort. The pair embrace each other without a single word more till Octavia breaks away and kisses Amore.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but... To me, in my mind, that life... That version of me never existed." Amore states with a distressed tone.

"It's okay. I'm the mare you gave both your first times to. One being your virginity and the other being your vampire virginity. Such can also be said about me to you. We can drink our sorrows away later. For now, you have a job to do." Octavia kisses Amore as she blushes.

"Y-yeah... I'll get on that." Amore states leaving Octavia and walking out the remains of the door with her silver case.

"You two... Please follow her and make sure she doesn't get in trouble." Octavia states to the hidden Derpy and Veronica who make a hasty retreat upon their discovery.


"Explain to me again why we are going to the book club of all the places on campus?" Amore asks, sighing deeply.

"Because, the president of the book club is the daughter of Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. She excels at academic studies as well as sports in general. She is also a Lycan like Rainbow Dash." Derpy informs Amore and Veronica, who is next to Derpy.

"I see... Why did the club room have to be on the far east side of the building..?" Amore asks.

"I believe it would have something to do with the direction of where the moon rises from, which would make sense given her Lycan blood." Veronica comments.

The trio reach a sliding door with a plaque on it saying 'Book Club'. Opening the door Derpy leads them inside where they can see a Pegasus mare that has a cyan coat, teal coloured straight mane and tail with natural pink highlights. Her purple eyes focused on the book she is reading behind the teachers desk, she wears the academy supernatural uniform.

"Derpy, I've said this many a time... But could you please deliver any books I order to my room and not-" The mare turns to face them and stops her sentence upon seeing the trio.

"Hey Tranquil Wind~" Derpy waves slightly.

"Ah, I see now. Tranquil Wind, daughter of the athlete Rainbow Dash and head librarian Twilight Sparkle. I believe your test scores are the most impressive in the whole academy. Not only that, but your Lycan blood and traits passed down from your 'father' Rainbow Dash means she is in peak physical form and likely will be till she dies. Not only that, but she has a rack that could rival the student council president." Veronica states in crude observation.

"Wow, since when did they give such crude reports in the Hooviet Union?" Amore asks, raising her eyebrow at Veronica.

"I'm hardly under that banner anymore... I'm simply giving you my raw observation, captain." Veronica states folding her arms.

"Oh... I see you brought the ex order Hooviet Union mare with you." Tranquil Wind chuckles and places a bookmark on the page she is reading. "And if it isn't the infamous Amore Sànge Von Scratch, next in line to the Von Scratch family head position and daughter of Vinyl Von Scratch. What brings you to my little book club under the moon?"

"I'd be willing to wager you already know." Amore replies.

Tranquil Wind chuckles again and lays back in her chair. "I do. I simply wanted to hear you ask."

"Something tells me you wouldn't give it even if you wanted to... You're the type who doesn't want to bother with other ponies. Even that condescending upper class teasing tone you are using right now is a defence mechanism so you don't projectile vomit your dissatisfaction with the present company. I've met countless mares like you who believe they are above such 'mortal' concepts of friends and such. You're smart, beautiful, excel at academic studies and sports... But that is it..." Amore folds her arms, wearing her serious face.

Veronica leans behind Amore and whispers to Derpy. "Does she even have a serious face?"

Derpy leans behind Amore to answer. "I'm not sure, but she is super cool~"

Tranquil Wind wears a half shocked expression and simply waits for Amore to finish her rant.

"You're not the entitled type, who flaunts their worth around like some cheap whore... You love your parents for who they are, not who everypony sees them as. Your abilities make you exceptional in sports and academic studies, everypony around you has high expectations because of your parents. They give you constant meaningless praise which you don't even care about. If you're not willing to help me, I'm wasting my time." Amore turns to begin leaving.

"Wait..." Tranquil Wind states making Amore stop and turn around. "You don't dance around the truth do you, Amore. One cannot simply have two parents that excel in their own respective fields and not have expectations of them. It's true I never cared for the praise I constantly got, it was meaningless to me. They cannot truly mean to praise a pony for performing how they expect. My parents though... Their praise meant the world to me, they didn't have these ridiculous expectations of me." Tranquil Wind explains.

"I'd never given you much thought if I'm honest. I knew about you from the club roster and that your club is under Amethyst Star's supervision. However, past that I knew nothing." Amore unfolds her arms.

"You know if both of us were not partnered to very esteemed mares... I dare say I'd have to court you. However, your technique is sloppy... Granted you have great moderate footwork and exceptional power, but your overall technique requires refinement and work. Your muscles are having to work so much harder then they need to, you'd have so much more stamina in battle and perhaps other places." Tranquil Wind chuckles as she stands up and walks over to Amore.

"Wow... Other then insulting my fighting style, you seem like the decent sort... So, are you in for sticking it to those snobs at Crystal Prep in the Battle Royal?" Amore asks.

"Oh? You're recruiting for the Battle Royal?" Tranquil Wind asks, looking surprised.

"W-what? I thought you knew already?" Amore stutters a little.

"What? Of course not. I might be skilled in academics and well versed in knowledge, but I prefer sports if I'm honest. I took on my mother's temperament when it comes to things. Oh... That back there? I was so badly fucking with you." Tranquil Wind smiles as she blows a kiss in Amore's face.

Derpy quickly disappears down the hallway giggling. While Amore puffs her cheeks out having just made her massive bitch fest.

"She knew didn't she..." Amore states.

"Oh yes." Veronica replies, smiling.

"I can imagine where your next stop will be and can save you time by accompanying you. You likely already know the mare who we will see next. She is my marefriend and a well established Grand Courtier, it's a fashion thing." Tranquil Wind leads them out of the book club room, but Amore is still puffing her cheeks and groaning.


Tranquil Wind leads the trio into the Armonia Academy Boutique which is a sizeable cylinder room with alcoves filled with dresses and outfits on hangers. Just to the left as you come in past one of the alcoves is a cylinder room big enough for maybe two ponies to allow enough changing space, it has a slimmer section which you slide for the door. There is also two make up tables on opposite sides of the room.

"I remember this place. This is the Boutique right? Rarity made the dress I wore to Octavia's party here." Amore looks around.

"Well, I didn't expect you to have come here already. Then have you met Silver Stitch?" Tranquil Wind asks, looking at Amore.

"No, I've only met Rarity. She made my dress." Amore shakes her head.

"Well... Silver Stitch is the daughter of the fashionista Rarity and the party pony Pinkie Pie. She is an Earth Pony conceived through means of Pixie magic. Not to mention at just our age her combined talent with Rarity earned her the title of Grand Courtier, meaning her collections are a big deal in the fashion world." Tranquil Wind explains.

"Tranquil? Is that you baby?" An earth pony mare with a dull silver coat steps out from one of the workshop doors. Her mane is straight whilst her tail is curled. They share a deep purple color streaked by a hot pink. Her eyes are light blue like her 'father', Pinkie Pie. She wears the academy's supernatural uniform, but has added her own flare of a highly decorated dark blue scarf around her neck.

"Yes, it's me and look who I brought along." Tranquil Wind draws Silver Stitch's attention to Amore.

"Oh sweet Celestia, if you're here that means you can finally give up that persona you have been working on for months since she got here. Did it work at least?" Silver Stitch asks as she straightens out some clothes on the alcove racks.

"Oh yes, it worked like such a charm! You should of seen the look on her face after her rant, she made her cheeks go all puffy and cute!" Tranquil Wind laughs to herself.

Amore puffs out her cheeks in frustration making Silver Stitch giggle.

"So what brings you to our humble Boutique?" Silver Stitch asks, turning to the group.

"I want to ask for you help in the Battle Royal against Crystal Prep Academy." Amore puts her face back to normal.

"One second, I'll ask my mother." Silver Stitch states with a smile.

Silver Stitch disappears into the other workshop and a brief conversation can be heard before a loud encouraging voice booms from the room and Silver Stitch walks back out adjusting her mane with a smile.

"I do believe my 'father' greatly encourages me to kick some tail while mother is happy I'll be getting out of the shop for some fresh air." Silver Stitch informs them.

"You do work too hard." Tranquil Wind comments.

"Okay... That makes a total of two, I just need one more team member..." Amore struggles to think of anypony.

"I actually have a mare in mind, she is the president of the Occult and Supernatural Research Club." Silver Stitch smiles warmly while Tranquil Wind groans a little.


Silver Stitch leads Tranquil Wind and Amore down some eerie looking hallways till they come to an old wooden door with a plaque on it saying 'Occult and Supernatural Research Club'.

"Hey, Tranquil. Why are you so against recruiting this mare?" Amore asks.

"Okay, look... Way back when all our parents were friends, they still are. Me and Silver got together during our first year here, however, the third member of our little trio went a very different route." Tranquil Wind comments.

Silver Stitch opens the door and leads them inside. Around the room they can see bookcases that have several novels on supernatural or occult related creatures and items. Two desks are at the back of the room that have intense complex alchemical equipment set up on them. Two large tables are in the centre of the room with chairs around them and a Unicorn mare sleeping in a chair.

"Looks like we caught her at nap time." Silver Stitch comments before walking them over to her.

Tranquil Wind uses a rubber band to flick a piece of paper right between the mare's eyes waking her up and making her fall back on the chair.

"What the..?" The mare stands up and rubs her eyes.

The Unicorn mare before them has a dodger blue coat, her mane and tail are dark purple with blood red highlights while being in the same style as Starlight Glimmer. After rubbing her eyes it can be seen that her left eye is midnight blue while her right eye is turquoise. She wears a plain black T-shirt, blue jeans, a white lab coat and glasses. The mare yawns before waving her hand in the air. Suddenly a teapot and cup are floated over to the table and poured while she sits back down.

"I was wondering how long it would take for you to visit me, Amore." The mare states sipping her tea.

"There was no magic aura around that pot and cup, how did she..?" Amore looks confused.

"That's because I didn't use my magic to pour it. My ghost marefriend did." She cracks her neck and stretches.

"Moonlit Dusk here is a necromancer. It apparently runs in her blood from Starlight Glimmer's side of the family going all the way back to the pirate era." Tranquil Wind explains.

"That is also alongside her being an extremely powerful Unicorn even at her age. Which is the result of having both Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer as her parents." Silver Stitch adds.

"That's actually pretty cool. I came here to ask you for help, I need one more pony to join my Battle Royal team. Can you help me?" Amore asks.

Moonlit Dusk leans back in her chair after finishing her tea, she occasionally tilts her head to the right randomly before sighing.

"I'm told this might be a good opportunity for me to stretch my legs... I do want to try out some new spells, so I guess I can help you. It looks like we are going to be working together again, Tranquil." Moonlit Dusk smiles.

"Yeah... Sorry I haven't come down here more often..." Tranquil Wind apologises.

"I am equally at fault for not visiting you two." Moonlit Dusk states.

Amore suddenly answers her phone wearing a pale expression at the voice on the other end.

"I understand. I'll meet you there." Amore hangs up and begins to leave.

"Have some business, captain?" Silver Stitch asks.

"I do... Sorry, we are all meeting at Valentine's later to discuss plans and figure things out for the Battle Royal." Amore informs them before leaving.


Amore walks towards the running track with the silver case strung across her back. In the distance, with her hands in her pockets, is Selene patiently waiting for Amore to get within a reasonable distance to her. Amore stops several feet away from Selene chewing a toothpick in her mouth.

"You wanted to meet..?" Amore asks, looking up at Selene.

"It's been two years and that is all you can say to me?" Selene asks with agitation

Selene flips open the top of the tube on her back and pulls out a gold hilted sharp looking sabre with a pitch black handle. She shifts the tube off her back and throws it aside.

"You make it sound like we have a lot to talk about..." Amore replies spitting out her toothpick.

Amore flips open her case and retrieves her scissor blade before throwing the case aside like Selene.

"You left me without a word, you bitch!" Selene yells as she sprints towards Amore and locks blades with her.

The pair shake equally as they hold each other in place, eyes locked in determination. Amore breaks the lock and pushes Selene away so she can follow up with an uppercut. Selene back flips to avoid the uppercut and preforms a sprint slash counter attack which Amore barely dodges.

"Why did you leave? Was I that bad of a marefriend?!" Selene asks as she presses the attack.

"I saw you fooling around with Midnight in the gym equipment room!" Amore screams which makes Selene falter.

Amore sees her opportunity and sprints towards Selene to preform her signature two step kick on her face that makes Selene roll across the floor. When she stops she helps herself back up using her sabre.

"Y-you saw that then... But you never stayed around long enough to let me explain!" Selene's eyes turn a cloudy deep blue.

Selene sprints towards Amore with increased speed and agility which catches her off guard. The gap in Amore's defence allows Selene to preform her own two step kick landing the first in Amore's stomach and the second being propelled up into her face. The resulting blow forces Amore to fly backwards onto her ass.

"What is there to explain? You cheated on me!" Amore protests.

"Midnight Allure confessed to me after that practice session before suddenly kissing me! I told her I'd need time to consider her feelings and was going to tell you about it!" Selene stops to fiercely kick Amore in the stomach making her cough up blood. "But what did I find going back to our room? Nothing!" Selene stabs her sabre into Amore's leg making the mare groan in pain. "Fancy Pants told me he saw you leaving through the locked gate which you promptly destroyed in frustration..."

Selene makes Amore stand up so she can smack her fist into the mare's stomach so hard she propels her backwards across the floor in a roll. When Amore stops she coughs up blood.

"W-what's up with this freaky strength?" Amore asks coughing.

"Oh that's right. Crystal Prep Academy also has another name... Lycan Prep Academy. It's where they send the majority of Lycan's because many of us don't see eye to eye with Vampires. We were never together long enough for you to find out I was a Lycan... By your fangs I see the halfbreed decided to become a Vampire after all..." Selene walks over to her tube and sheathes her sabre.

"W-where the fuck you going? We ain't finished here!" Amore protests before grabbing her stomach.

Dark clouds suddenly pollute the sky and it begins to rain heavily. Selene's eyes turn back to normal and she clenches her fists.

"It's over Amore... You can't win. I've spent two years thinking and figuring out what I'd do when I finally met you again." Selene walks over to Amore and grabs her collar. "We used to be something special... But all this time you were just running from the truth. Even though you got with Octavia, you still look back and wonder if you should of stayed. It doesn't matter now... We are over, Amore. There will never be anything between us again. I suggest you move on, I know I have." Selene finishes as she throws Amore back on her ass.

Selene walks away from Amore to leave her in her own self pity as she stares up at the rain clouds beating down on her. The blood red scissor blade lays beside her just inches away from her hand. Thousands of thoughts passed through Amore's mind, regret, sadness, depression. She wondered if she should have made a different choice, if she should have stayed. Suddenly she heard a familiar comforting voice that broke her out of the trance.

"So, that's the whole truth then." Octavia states, squatting down beside Amore.

"Looks like it... In the end I'm the bad mare once again..." Amore sighs deeply.

"In all our encounters and times alone, you always used to look distant when given time to think. The only time you never wore that expression was during our first time having sex. You have been hung up on her for two years, don't you think it's time to properly move on?" Octavia places her hand on Amore's.

"I can't beat her... She is a Lycan. If you were watching, you saw how fast she is..." Amore closes her eyes.

"Then get faster... Get stronger... We have been through this. When you meet an opponent that you can't defeat, what do you do?" Octavia asks Amore.

"It's not so easy..." Amore protests.

Octavia rolls her eyes and helps Amore stand up. The pair put away the scissor blade and Octavia wears the silver case.

"Come on, I know exactly what you need." Octavia begins to help Amore limp towards the front gate.


Octavia opens the door to Valentine's helping Amore walk into the bar. The bar has quite a few ponies in it who are drinking or playing pool. Amore takes a seat at the bar with Octavia when Valentine comes to serve them.

"What the fuck happened to you? You look like utter shit." Valentine smiles and serves her a Whiskey while sliding Octavia a Martini.

"She is having a little rough day... The walk here alone was exhausting. I couldn't find Aqua so..." Octavia sips her drink and sighs.

"Aqua has been here a while with Scarlet, Derpy and that Hooviet mare." Valentine informs them while he cleans a glass.

"If it helps, I feel like shit too... Selene Bloodmoon is the name of my fucking agony..." Amore states as she drinks half her Whiskey.

"An ex no doubt, by the looks of your face... I'd wager a fight. Seems you have yet to fully move on from your past." Valentine smiles as he pours himself a drink.

"Isn't it bad for you to drink while working?" Amore comments.

"Ins't it bad for a Von Scratch to get her ass handed to her?" Valentine retorts, taking a sip of his Whiskey.

"Touché... Can't really argue with that. What is the entertainment selection for this evening?" Amore asks finishing her Whiskey.

"A very talented piano playing mare, has been coming down here with the blonde one during the days AMR-3 doesn't play. She has been helpful in filling the gaps, says she must work in order to belong in a society outside her beloved Hooviet Union." Valentine smirks.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me..." Amore turns to look at the stage.

On the stage Amore can see Veronica playing a piano with Derpy sitting on top with a harmonica. The pair begin the song and Amore decides to turn to face them.

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old stallion sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet
And I knew it complete
When I wore a younger colt's clothes."

Sing us a song you're the piano mare
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright

Now D at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's some place that he'd rather be

He says, "V, I believe this is killing me."
As a smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place."

Now Jim is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with Starry, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practising politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone

Amore looks around the bar to see that everypony is raising their glasses and swaying to Veronica playing the piano which makes her smile with Valentine at the mare.

Sing us a song you're the piano mare
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for a while

And the piano it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Mare what are you doing here?"

Sing us a song you're the piano mare
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright

Veronica finishes playing the piano to a resounding applause from everypony in the bar. She gets up and happily bows with Derpy before they walk off the stage together. Amore sighs as her glass is refilled by Valentine.

"She is doing very well for herself outside of the Hooviet Union, she speaks about you a lot. She says how you being her rival gives her purpose and Armonia gives her a place to belong. You might have been the reason she got kicked out, but you're also the reason she is living more now then she ever was." Valentine chuckles as he downs his Whiskey.

"I guess so... This seems to be a routine doesn't it? I get my ass handed to me and I go and have myself a lone pity party... Happened after Shintaku beat me and I went to the family estate... Now, it's because of Selene." Amore downs her whole Whiskey glass.

"Two years, right? You still carry around her small picture in your pocket?" Valentine asks, which makes Octavia raise an eyebrow.

Amore spits out half her drink and harshly swallow the rest before coughing violently. "How the fuck do you know about that?! I never told anypony that crap!"

"You know I work for Lady Von Scratch as an informant? I don't run this bar just for fun you know. Who do you think ponies say the most shit to?" Valentine smirks, leaning back on the counter behind him.

"Their bartender... Mother fucker..." Amore reluctantly pulls out a small photograph of Selene smiling in front of a bush from her skirt hemline. "Not a lot of pockets on a skirt... Had to get very creative..." Amore sadly admits.

"Now, I don't know a whole lot about relationships, but... Is it not about time you stop letting her control your thoughts? You can't beat her, you're not as fast as her... As an old Vampire I'm going to tell you that is bullshit. You can be every bit as fast as her and more, you have that opportunity as a half breed. You can go beyond the limits of mere Lycan or Vampire, you can take those limits and smash through them. Not only are you a Vampire half breed, but you're a Von Scratch! You're the daughter of Vinyl Von Scratch, the head of the Von Scratch family which is one of the three most powerful Vampire family's in all of Equestria! Do you want to know something much more important?" Valentine leans on the bar and stares Amore down.

"W-what..?" Amore stares back.

"You're AMR-3... That means something, not only to you, but to everyone of those ponies who listens to your music and feels the vibes you give them. Whenever Vinyl fights, she has music, she always goes into into battle with a rhythm to follow and a beat to guide her hooves." Valentine stands upright and sighs.

"Hey, Val... You got a lighter?" Amore asks.

"Yeah, why?" Valentine gives Amore the lighter from his pocket.

Amore flips open the metal lighter and sets the small picture alight and drops the burning tiny piece left into a provided glass of water which is disposed off.

"I'm tired of always putting myself down... Or putting Octavia second..." Amore looks to Octavia, about to speak.

Octavia instead deeply kisses Amore and slaps her afterwards.

"No apology, no feeling sorry, no saying sorry, that slap was enough and you kicking her ass will be your punishment." Octavia states before going back to her Martini.

"I deserved that... I promise I'll kick her ass. Excuse me, I gotta go to the little mare's room..." Amore stands up and stretches.

Amore walks past the bar to reach the hallway which leads to the stage. She stretches a little before noticing Derpy and Veronica making out near the bathroom doors. Her jaw drops and she checks her eyes twice before clearing her throat to get their attention. The pair quickly part as they see Amore.

"Oh, Amore... Hi, umm... Well..." Veronica tries to speak past her blush.

Derpy says nothing and simply stands with her hands behind her back and blushing intensely.

"How long?" Amore asks.

"Oh... Just a few minutes ago, I decided to get my feelings out to Derpy now rather than later..." Veronica admits.

"Her being a Vampire?" Amore asks cracking her neck as she stretches.

"Despite being in the anti-supernatural Hooviet Union division... I find it very cute with Derpy and I don't mind a bit... New surroundings, new views you know..." Veronica shuffles closer to Derpy so she can hold her hand.

"Alright, have fun, I'm happy for you both. Use protection and all that..." Amore enters the mare's bathroom past them and they exit the hallway towards the bar, blushing brightly.

After going to the toilet, Amore walks out of the bathroom and makes her way back to the bar. Once sat back down she is approached by Tranquil Wind, Silver Stitch and Moonlit Dusk.

"So, we take it you have a plan?" Tranquil Wind asks, folding her arms.

"One befitting us no doubt." Silver Stitch adds.

Amore takes a deep breath as Aqua Streak, Scarlet Orange and an insanely blushing Veronica join the other three standing in front of Amore. She puts a cocktail stick in her mouth from the bar and wears her signature grin.

"Considering Crystal Prep Academy has held a spotless record thus far over Armonia... I say it's time we shake up the Supernatural Games with some dramatic flare, epic music and kick ass fights." Amore states, holding her Whiskey glass.

"I'd fund it." Aqua Streak smiles.

"I agree, it's a plan I can get behind." Tranquil Wind adds.

"I believe the appeal to you, my dear, is that it isn't much of a plan at all, but I can support it regardless." Silver Stitch sighs.

Veronica and Scarlet Orange nod in agreement with the plan and Amore downs her Whiskey.

"Then, tomorrow we show those Crystal Prep jackasses who it is they are fucking with." Amore smiles and slams her glass down.
