The Move

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Well here I am getting into the car, about to move to a new city. All because I got in a fight. And it wasn't even my fault! Anyway, the point is I'm moving to some city named Canterlot. I say goodbye to what little friends I have left. "Don't be sad, " Solar Comet tries to comfort me. "I'm sure you'll make some new friends."

"Whatever you say buddy."

And just like that, we're off. Already Bouncer is being a pain. "This is all your fault."

"What're you talking about?"

"If you didn't get in to that stupid fight with those stupid kids, we wouldn't be leaving and I wouldn't be leaving my friends behind."

"Always gotta make things about you, huh? And you know that's not the reason we're leaving."

"It kinda is."

"Shut up ,Swift. Stay outta this."

"Whatever." And then he does his usual, putting in his earbuds pretending nothing just happened. I think I should get something to do before things get outta hand. "Hey Mom! Where's my labtop?"

"It's in the trunk sweetie."

"Oh." Well there goes that idea. There's just one more thing I need to know... "Mom where's Titan?"

"What do you mean? He's going with your uncle."

"Oh yeah that's right." I mutter, barely audible. Well since I've got no other choice I'm just gonna take a nap...

I walk out of East High texting Solar, making some plans for a future cubing competition. Then out of nowhere, I bump into a car. I notice that there's a scratch on it. I start freaking out but then I recognize that car. That scratch was already there. But I know whose car that is its-

"HEY!" Uh oh. It's Hoops. His shout makes me jump a bit and I elbow the window. THAT crack wasn't there before.

"What the hell do you think your doing?" Oh God  he's talking to me!

"I said, what are you doing!?"

"Uh, just enjoying the majestic views, man!"

"What are you talking about?" He pushes me aside and...

"WHAT THE HELL MAN!?"

"Uh, you yelled and I MIGHT have bumped the window...?"

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!"

"Uh Lightning is not here right now please leave a message after the beep... Beeeeeeep."  And just like that I take off running. You might call me a coward but Hoops is a pretty tough guy. And when he says "I'm gonna kill you" like that, he means business. Anyways he starts chasing me but I'm too fast. Hey ,they don't call me "Lightning" for nothing. I think about parkouring my way out of this like a boss but Hoops doesn't give up easily. The guy would chase you to your house and wait for you to come out. A quick look back tells me that his two buddies joined in too. Damn it. I'm not getting out if this one easily. Nobody knows the city like me but even I end up in a alley. Of course it's an alley. I mean, seriously, when do chases ever end up somewhere near the police station? Well it's not like I don't know how to fight, it's more like Hoops is an unpredictable kind of guy.

"Looks like we got you right where we want you, bitch." That face is definitely NOT soothing.

"How dare you refer to me as a female dog?" Might as well make my final moments the best they can be.

"What's the difference?" He got me there. With nothing else to say, I put my hands up. They start circling me. Then I realize something.

"Help! House on fire!" Hopefully someone heard that.

"That doesn't work anymore, dumbass." Actually he's wrong. Everyone knows that if you shout "house on fire" people are more likely to come and help than if you shout "help I'm being jumped" or whatever. Anyway they're circling and closing in on me so I give Score, the guy to my right, a right hook and he actually falls down. Then Dumb-Bell charges in. Bad idea. I give a left uppercut and the fool bites his tongue. Hoops is too fast though. He dodges my attacks and goes for the "low blow kick." Next thing I know Score and Dumb-Bell are coming at me seemingly out of nowhere. They are all at me now. I end up on the ground. That's  not good. Now they're kicking me while I'm down. I try to fight back but it's no use. If help is  on the way it better come quick. These guys can kick pretty hard and are stomping on my face like crazy. It doesn't look like I'll be able to get up.

"Don't you ever touch my car again!" I realized that this is kinda brutal over a car. I could have easily paid for it.

"Oh you'll pay for it alright." WAIT DID HE JUST READ MY MIND!? Then the kicking stops. I try t get up and look around  but see nothing. I'm almost to my feet when Hoops comes back with a bat. Wait where did he even get that from?! Then all he does is laugh... in a creepy way.

"Here's a lesson you won't soon forget." I dodge the first swing surprisingly  but wasn't so lucky the second time... He's laughing as I hit the ground. The last thing I hear is a siren blaring as I black out.

I wake upas the car goes over a speed bump. It was just a dream. Thank God. Mom's driving now and Dad's out cold. Actually, everyone's asleep except Mom and me.

"Hey Mom! We in Canterlot yet?"

"Yes we are."

"OK." I look out the window. Huh we're driving past a stadium. Or a stage. Where ever they play  concerts at. I can't even think straight because of that dream. Wait what's going on in there? It looks like they have these projections of... seahorses? Then it gets weirder. They're is this plasma ball thing and it turns into a winged unicorn thing. And now it's shooting a rainbow at the seahorses. This is so weird. How does Mom NOT see it? Maybe I'm still dreaming? But it feels so real. Maybe I that bat messed up my head and I've gone nuts. I don't know anymore. I think I'm  actually looking forward  to going to school on Monday. Maybe I can escape the weirdness...
