The Sun Must Set to Rise

I can't believe it.

We technically broke up last week with the argument and all. I don't remember nor do i care what it was even about. I just can't believe it. Rarity is moving.

We've just been through so much together since 6th grade and here we are at her house having ths conversation. She asked me to come over to her place after school so I thought it was going to be a good thing. Boy was I wrong.

"It's just so sudden," I said.

"Yeah I know, darling." Wow I didn't think she would still call me that.

"Are you sure you gotta go?" I asked.

"Yes. My dad's new job  is in the city."

"Well I'm gonna miss you. A lot."

"Same here."

"COME ON RARITY WE GOTTA GO!" Wow I'm surprised China didn't hear Sweetie Belle, Rarity's little sister.

"Well, see ya... I guess." Then she leaned over and kissed me. That was pretty stange because we said we wouldn't get back together. Anyway she got in her car and waved goodbye and of course I waved back. Well that's that I guess. I pull out my phone and go through my contacts. Where is his name it should be here somewhere... ah there it is. Good ol' Cobalt. He's been my best friend since kindergarten. At leaet he'll always be there for me. I call him and hope I don't end up leaving a message. I never know what to say for those things.

"Hello?"

"Hey man."

"Oh hey, Lightning. ¿Què Pasa?"

"Meet me at the park around 4."

"Uh, alright. See you then."

"Yeah, see you then."

I hang up and head home. It's not that far of a walk. "Hey mom!" I yell once I get through the door."Hey, son. Got any homework?"

"Nope. It's Friday, remember?" We both know that my teachers aren't homework heavy on a Friday. And any homework I do get is finished in study hall."Oh yeah, I forgot."

"I'm going over to the park later," I say while looking through the freezer for a snack. "Meeting Cobalt again?"

"Yup," Hey when did we get these ice cream sandwiches? Oh well I found my snack. "Well don't be too long. You know your brother's going to want help with his homework."

"What homework?" I asked while grabbing my second sandwich. "He's only in 5th grade!"

"Well you know his teachers are pretty unpredictable."

"True. Speaking of brothers, where's Swift?"

"Where do you think?" Yeah she's right. He's probably at Amber's. "Well I better go feed Titan." Titan's 100% MY dog and my dog only. I paid every cent for him and I'm the one who feeds him and takes care of him. He's a German Shepard puppy.

After feeding Titan I go grab my basketball and head off. Cobalt's probably gonna want to play before or after we talk. Most likely before.

At the park I just practice shooting some 3's until I can see his afro bobbing in the distance. "Hey man!" I call out.

"Hey." He replies. "Watcha doin shooting 3's? You play center amigo!" Cobalt, always  such a jokester. "So you called me down here so you could lose at one-on-one again?"

"That was ONE TIME! Also I wanted to talk. But we can play first if you want to."

"Alright. We doin our usual?"

"You know it." Our usual is that we play first to ten going by 1's and play make-it-take-it. "We'll flip to see who gets first ball."

"Ok."

"You call it."

"Uh, heads!" He always goes for heads. I flip the coin and it lands on, you guessed it, heads. I check him the ball. "Ready to lose?"

"No, I'm ready to WIN!" My defense was getting pretty good. Of course he comments on it. "Wow your D is gettin' pretty good."

"You're right 'bout that." He shoots but it bounces off the rim. "Dammit"

"Don't get to worked up. That shot's pretty hard." I grab and clear the ball. "No, you need to clear it in front of the foul line!"

"What're you talkin' about? It's the three point line. But fine I'll do it your way." I go to the top of the key and shoot. swish! The game goes on a little more. I ended up winning 10-9. "Told you so."

"Shut up. You know football is my game. So what did you want to talk about?" Well, here we go... "Rarity moved away."

"So? Didn't you two break up after that argument last week about... uh what was it again?"

"Hell if I know! Anyway, yeah we did break up. But she was still my friend."

"Yeah she was pretty cool. So I guess you're gonna be all depressed, huh?"

"Naw, just sad for a little bit."

"Well is that all? I gotta go eat dinner." Yeah, I guess it is. "Yeah. I gotta go eat dinner too."

"Well adios amigo."

When I got home I immediately wanted to eat. But being sweaty and all, Mom mad me go take a shower first. That night I thought how lucky I was to have a friend like Cobalt.

About One Month Later...

"Wait WHAT!?" I can't believe I'm going through this again. "Yeah I'm moving" Cobalt's voiced seemed a tad bit sad on the phone. First Rarity and now Cobalt. This is crazy. What next? Me!? "But... I... Well we can keep in touch i guess..." I just realized I never got Rarity's number. How crazy is that? "Yeah I guess so. I gotta go now though. I'll call you when I get there."

"Alright. Bye."

"Bye..." Well, I'm not sure what to do now. I guess I could hang out with Solar...
