Little Big Trouble

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

EXPELLED.

The word was was written in a piece of paper. Yes, it was capitalized and colored red. A girl with orange pigtails and pale amber skin sat infront of a table, the principals table exactly. The girl was wearing a grey sleeveless hoodie, red undershirt and skirt that had two gear symbols on it, a utility belt, black and white pants and blue sneakers. She was in trouble for somehow, destroying half of her school with her newest invention; A robot.

"Come on! I'm on a roll here!" The girl said to the principal.

Now you see, the girl wasn't normal. She had a brilliant mind for brilliant ideas. She would isolate herself from social life to work on her newest project, which turned out to be her robot. Now the principal simply glared at the girl. He looked like he was gonna explode. The girl then gave out half a smile, trying to hide her fear. The principal then stood up and paced around her but still glaring at her. He then stopped and put his hand on the girl's shoulder.

"Miss Gaige, the stunt you pulled recently was quite unforgivable," The principal said, "The damage is well, critical."

"Mr. Levi please! Let me stay until I graduate!" Gaige pleaded.

"Well, judging by your card, you have outstanding grade," Mr. Levi said as he took out a folder from his blazer, "But your robot, or should I say war machine, made quiet a mess."

Mr. Levi then went back to his seat. He then stared at Gaige for a moment and a smile grew on his face.

"You know, I could un-expel you," Mr. Levi said, "If you pay for the damage, which is extremely expensive."

Gaige's mind went blank. She wanted to finish in this school here in Japan. I mean, who wouldn't like a school where you invent stuff? Yes, it's a school for the gifted inventors. Her inventions could sell big time when she graduates. Gaige then stopped thinking of the school and thinked about repairing the school; Yes, it was pretty expensive. Her robot made a mark on the school campus. She contemplated once more where she can get the money. Gaige couldn't think of anything, if only her family was there, who left her because they had to move to Canterlot, which was in the US, and she refused to go with them so that she could study robotics in Tokyo. She finally gave out a defeated sigh and finally stood up.

"Sorry Mr. Levi, I cannot pay for the damages my robot made." Gaige said in a defeated tone.

"Then I have no choice but to expel you completely," Mr. Levi said with his arms crossed, "What are your plans then?"

Gaige then took a minute to think of what she will do next. Obviously, if she stayed in Japan, no school would accept her because of the incident, nor she could get a job for the same reason. She then took out her wallet and peeked inside. 24632 yen, or in other words 200 dollars. She could survive a month with that kind of money, but what about the next months?

"What should I do?" Gaige thought.

Her mind was completely blank. She didn't know what to do. No school or job would accept her. She once more gave out a defeated sigh and realized what she must do; Go back to her family. The money was enough for a plane ticket to Canterlot. She then turned to Mr. Levi with determination.

"I'm moving back with my family." Gaige said with a smile.

Mr. Levi then smiled at her as well. He then stood up and extended his hand for a shake.

"Goodluck." He said.

Gaige extended her hand as well and shook his hand. She then bid farewell to the principal and left. As she went out of the principals office, she saw the damage her robot made. There were holes, debris, concrete and cracks everywhere. Luckily for her, the robot only destroyed half of the school and did not kill anyone, well except maybe some injuries. She could have faced the judge instead of the principal if that happened. She then pass through the damages, then reached the lockers, which was crowded. As she made her way in the ocean of students, she could hear them whisper about her, making her slight embarrassed and guilty on what she has done. Gaige then finally made her way out of the school.

"Atleast the schoolyard is okay." Gaige said as she overlooked the schoolyard.

Gaige then took out a cube from her pocket. It was colored purple, heck, it's her favorite color. She suddenly threw it in the air, which levitated and started to glow.

"Come on out boy." She said.

With that said, the cube began to expand, taking shape of a robotic torso. As it finished forming, it was revealed to be Gaige's invention, the D374-TP or simply Deathtrap. The robot then leaned down to it's creator, and started to make robotic sound.

"Oh I love you too, DT!" Gaige said as she patted the robot in the head, "Wanna go for a ride?"

The robot happily nodded and played robotic sounds. Gaige then smiled at the sight and climbed on top and sat on Deathtrap's shoulder.

"Onward!" Gaige happily exclaimed as Deathtrap hovered back home, "Man, atleast I have you!"

The two then happily hovered back to Gaige's apartment.

Gaige started packing the minute she arrived at her apartment. Her place wasn't that much, it only had one room where the kitchen and bedroom were all crammed, but she managed to stay alive. With the help of her landlord, her stuff was easily moved to the airport. After packing every single clothing she has, she turned on her laptop to record one of her blogs.

"Umm... so, hello... huh... my... twenty thousand subscribers. Wow! Okay," She began to speak as her laptop records her, "Umm. HUH! Things were going good, at first. I showed off all the new tech I had added to Deathtrap since my last blog: my "Close Enough" tech, "Anarchy," "Blood-Soaked Shields," the works. All that stuff that, like, really impressed the judges. So, things were looking good. I was looking really brilliant. Unfortunately, I earned... third place."

Gaige then laughed at her statement.

"Third. Place. That is what we call politics, people. And it's really unfair, and this where things went wrong, Deathtrap for some reason, started to malfunction and destroy everything he sees. He made a big-ass mark on the school, well, I did. Deathtrap went LITERALLY crazy on the school, he fired lasers and stuff. Boy, was it awesome... while it lasted."

Gaige then took a deep breath and continued,

"I'm being expelled for what Deathtrap did to the school, and luckily the school only wanted me gone, which was a serious shove, and I am traumatized because, ehhh..."

Gaige once again laughed for no absolute reason, thinking she was crazy.

"I'm currently packing right now, actually I'm about to leave. So this might be my last blog in Tokyo. I grabbed a ticket to Canterlot, which is in the US. Which, I-I mean... I-I-I've always been kind of interested in reuniting with my family, but who knows? Maybe my talents will actually be appreciated and might not get kicked out for being brilliant. Third place. I mean, seriously! Bastards. So, I think that's a wrap, Sayonara!"

After an exhausting plane ride, Gaige finally reached the town of Canterlot. It was early in the morning, around 5:00 am. She looked out of the plane window and looked below her. She could see the beautiful trees and small buildings. Canterlot looked like it was simple, but it was better than the urban. The plane then landed safely on the airport, Gaige couldn't hardly wait for her to see her family again. Five whole years of not seeing them. She then went out of the plane and eventually reached the lobby. From there, she could see a muscular man sporting a bandana, sunglasses and a goatee. Gaige then happily ran to him with a smile. The man also smiled when he saw Gaige, who opened his arms wide.

"GAIGE!? HOLY SKAGF*CK I F*CKING MISS YOU!" The man said.

"I miss you too dad." Gaige said as she hugged her dad, Rift Mix (For more info about Rift, read "Wub" Me Like You Do")

The two then took a moment to cherish the hug, then eventually pulled out.

"DAMN! YOU'VE GROWN UP TO BE A LADY!" Rift exclaimed.

Gaige then blushed when she saw some people looking at her dad, who was shouting every word he says.

"Dad, can you keep it down?" Gaige said as she tried to cover her face.

"UHHH, SURE HONEY! IS THIS LOW ENOUGH?!" Rift exclaimed, still oblivious that he is shouting.

"Ehh, nevermind," Gaige smiled, "Let's just go home."

"OKAY!"

The two then drove to their home. Gaige was excited as a horse to see her mother and brother. Even if they were still far away from home, Gaige couldn't contain herself in excitement. The car then passed by a school, which Gaige suspects that it's Canterlot High, and then passed by another school, Crystal Prep, which Gaige didn't know about.

"Huh, I wonder what school is that." Gaige contemplated.

"HEY GAIGE!" Rift shouted, surprising Gaige.

"Yes dad?"

"I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF ENROLLING YOU TO CANTERLOT HIGH. IT'S WHERE YOUR BROTHER GOES TO." Rift exclaimed.

"Aww, but I wanted to go to the gloomy school." Gaige said, pointing out Crystal Prep.

"WELL, IT'S TOO LATE NOW!" Rift said as he stopped the car, "HERE WE ARE!"

The two arrived at their home. Gaige couldn't believe what she saw. The house was big. She then remembered that her mom is a supermodel. Gaige then shrugged and went out of the car. She then looked at her phone to check the time. 6:00 am.

"School starts at 8:00 right?" Gaige asked her dad.

"YOU BET!"

"Ugh, I can only sleep for two hours." Gaige groaned.

"THEN YOU BETTER START SLEEPING! YOUR ROOM IS IN THE SECOND FLOOR NEXT TO YOUR BROTHER'S," Rift exclaimed, "I'LL DO THE UNPACKING."

Gaige then happily smiled and went inside. From her front door, she could smell fresh pancakes being cooked in the kitchen. She then levitated off the ground and followed the delicious scent. She then reached the kitchen and saw her mother, Moxi, cooking. Her mother then turned to Gaige with a smile. (For more info about Moxi, read "Wub" Me Like You Do)

"Gaige! I miss you!" Moxi said as Gaige ran to her for a hug.

"I miss you too mom." Gaige said happily.

The two then took a moment a cherished the hug as well.

"Hey, where's Treble?" Gaige asked as she pulled out.

"Oh your brother? He went out early to pick up Vinyl." Moxi explained.

Gaige then grew confused. Who's Vinyl?

"Who?" Gaige asked.

"His girlfriend." Moxi said as she laughed.

Gaige couldn't believe it. His brother already has a girlfriend. He and Gaige were close during their childhood, and was super PROTECTIVE of him.

"You must be hungry." Moxi said as she held a plate full of pancakes.

"Nah, I'm good mom, I need sleep though." Gaige said with a yawn.

"Are you sure? These pancakes are not gonna eat themselves."

"Mom, I need sleep." Gaige said as she dragged herself out of the kitchen.

"Okay, remember school starts at 8!" Moxi reminded.

Gaige then groaned when she saw the large staircase that leads to the second floor. She was so tired to go up, but she had too. Gaige then dragged herself up. It took a while, but she finally reached the top. She then heavily breathed as she was exhausted. She then heard a "Ding" and looked to where it was, and boy she felt stupid. There was an elevator in the house. Coming out of it was Rift, who was carrying boxes.

"We have an elevator?" Gaige groaned.

"WHY, YES WE HAVE." Rift exclaimed.

Gaige then perfectly performed a facepalm and proceeded to go to her room. She then opened the door and saw it was still empty, but she can manage that later on. She then went to her bed and drifted to slumber.

Gaige was having a wonderful time sleeping until Deathtrap, who activated randomly, awakened her. Gaige rubbed her eyes and looked at her phone. Her pupils shrank when she saw what time it was, 7:45, she was freaking late. Not wasting time, she turned off Deathtrap, hurriedly took a shower, went down for a quick breakfast, and ran to Canterlot High. Along the way she saw nothing but peace and quietness in the town. She knew the plane ride was all worth it. With her admiring the place, she did not look at where she was going, and eventually bumping into someone with a piece of bread on his mouth, which fell to the ground once they both bumped into each other.

"OW!" She exclaimed.

Gaige then looked up to see the boy. The boy had dark blue skin, silver hair with a light blue highlight and sky blue eyes. He was wearing a black t-shirt with a white star on it, a jacket with sapphire flames and a white crescent moon on the back, gray pants with a white strip on both sides and black sneakers.

"I'm so sorry! I was in a hurry!" Gaige apologized as she helped the boy up.

"That's okay, I was in a hurry too," The boy said as he got up and looked down to his bread, "Aw, my breakfast."

"HEY! What the hell kind of plot are you trying to pull by bumping into my precious Artemis while he had toast on his mouth?!"

Gaige then heard a voice from behind the boy. She then saw a girl marching towards them. She had a purple and teal twin tail hair with star barrettes, a purple corset looking dress with a light green skirt, purple and white leggings and purple high-heeled shoes. The girl then karate chopped both of their hands, separating the two.

"Plot?" Gaige said confusingly.

"Are you okay Artemis?" Aria said as she looked for injuries around Artemis.

"I'm alright Aria, we just had an accident." Artemis replied.

"Oh for pete's sake! Here!" Gaige said as she handed two dollars to Artemis, "Go buy something to eat with this!"

With that said, Gaige then ran off and left Artemis and Aria. Artemis then grew confused while Aria still looks for injuries.

"I'd better hurry!" Gaige exclaimed as she ran as fast as she can.

She then looked around for the school, but was mesmerized when she saw the beautiful park she was passing through.  Once again, she wasn't looking at where she was going, and bumped into a certain guy that had a dark gray hair with red streak, red eyes, gray skin, red hoodie and oddly a watermelon. As they collided, the boy dropped his watermelon and looked in horror as the watermelon shatters to pieces.

"AAAAHHH!! MY WATERMELON!" The boy cried.

"Eating watermelon in the morning?" Gaige said as she rubbed her head.

"Hey! It's delicious!"

"Anyway, I'm sorry! I was in a hurry! Here go buy something with this." Gaige said as she gave two more dollars to the boy, and ran off once more.

The boy then grew confused at what he just saw. He then looked down to his watermelon again and mourned it's fall.

"Well Daemon, I guess I'm eating chips today." The boy said.

Gaige continued on with her marathon to school. She then passed by a building called Sugarcube corner, which she suspected it to be a bakery.

"Damn it! I'm not gonna run into anyone any-"

Boy she was wrong, she once again bumped into another guy coming out of Sugarcube corner, completely knocking him out. The guy had cyan skin and black spiky hair.

"W-why does this happen to me all the time?" The boy groaned and fell unconscious.

"Sh*t! I'm sorry!" Gaige said.

"SWIFTIE ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!"

Gaige then heard another voice. She then looked up to see a pink skinned girl with pluffy messy pink hair. The girl took a moment to tend Swift and looked up to Gaige with a smile.

"HI MY NAME IS PINKIE PIE! WHO ARE YOU?" The girl exclaimed with a smile.

"Umm, the name is Gaige? I guess?" Gaige said confusingly.

"Well nice to meet you! This is my boyfriend, Swift!" Pinkie said.

"Yeah.. Sorry about him," Gaige said as she rubbed the back of her head then looked at her phone, "Crap, I'm late! Gotta go!"

"Okie Dokie Loki!"

Gaige once again continued on with her trek. This time, she focused on the road and not the beautiful scenery. After a few minutes of running, she eventually reached the school. She then took a moment to catch her breath and then continue on to the school. As she was walking down the sidewalk, she saw a newly built statue in front of the school. In front of the statue were a group of people. She then recognized some people in it, specifically the people he bumped into earlier. As she got closer, she could notice everyone laughing and cheering for someone.

"Good to have the old Treble back!" Said a guy who had a light shade of grey skin, slicked hair and had tatoos on his arms.

Treble? THE TREBLE? HER BROTHER? Excited, Gaige quickly approached the group to check if he was there. Unfortunately, it was too crowded and she couldn't see where he was. Gaige then let out an irritated groan and jumped, finally seeing a certain white skinned individual and black spiky hair, or in other words her brother, Treble. She was happy to see him again, but couldn't get near him, so she finally called him out.

"Treble?!" She said.

The group then turned to where the girl was. The group then grew confuse when they saw her, but Treble's eyes went wide open. He then approached the girl, still wearing his surprised expression. Gaige then grew a smile as Treble got near her.

"Gaige?!" Treble said Gaige as he hugged her, "I f*cking miss you!"

"Hey! What's going on?!" A girl with blue and light blue hair said.

Treble then turned to the girl and said,

"Vinyl, let me explain," Treble said as he took a deep breath, "Guys, meet my sister, Gaige."

"WHAT?!" The group said in unison.

"I miss you too bro." Gaige said as he hugged Treble back happily.

The others then grew even more confused on what they just saw. A girl with rainbow colored hair walked up to Gaige and Treble.

"Treble has a sister?!" The girl said.

"Well yeah, haven't I mentioned her before?" Treble said.

The group then shook their heads of disapproval in unison.

"Huh." Treble shrugged.

"We have alot of catching up to do Treble!" Gaige said with a smile.

Gaige then happily hugged Treble once more. She is once more reunited with her brother, oh how happy she was. The girls from the group then walked up to her.

"Looks like we have another member of our group," Said a girl with purple hair and white skin, "I'm Rarity, nice to meet you."

"And I'm Rainbow Dash! I'm awesome!" The girl with rainbow colored hair said in pride.

"I'm Pinkie Pie! But of course we've already met!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Okay just to make it quick, these are Applejack, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Aria Blaze, Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk, Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Melody." Dash said as she pointed the girls respectively.

"And my name is Swift Justice! The guy you killed earlier, but it's okay, happens to me everytime," Said the guy called Swift, who then turned around to the guys, "And these are Soul Writer, Warhawk, Clyde, Rivet, Night, Zero, Straight, Daemon, Artemis and Mise."

"Nice to meet you all, my name is Gaige." Gaige said happily.

"HI GAIGE! I'msoexcitedtothrowyouapartyandsurpriseyouand-"

"Pinkie calm down! You'll scare her!" Applejack said as she covered Pinkie's mouth and lifted her.

Now Gaige had the tendency of judging everyone she meets by their looks. Judging by Fluttershy's appearance, she can already tell that she is a shy and timid type, but very kind to others. Rainbow Dash, on the other hand, Gaige suspected her of having the ego the size of Mount Everest. Gaige then turned to Pinkie Pie, who she met already, and suspected that she was the jolly and happy go lucky member of the group. Next was Twilight, who Gaige easily recognized her as a nerd. Sunset Shimmer on the other hand was kind of the big sister of the group. Lastly, Applejack. Gaige thought at first that she was a stereotypical cowgirl, but quickly dismissed the idea when Applejack lifted Pinkie Pie and tried to calm her down, so she judged her for being the honest type. Who knew she was strong? Aria, Adagio and Sonata, the three, Gaige suspected them to be sisters, and had different personalities, one was a happy go lucky person like Pinkie, one was the serious type, and one was big sister of the three. Gaige then turned to the last two, Vinyl and Octavia. She easily recognized Octavia as the snooty type, and Vinyl being the obnoxious roommate.

"Huh, I guess you're the one Principal Celestia was telling me about?" Soul said.

"I guess so."

For the boys, she recognized Warhawk, Soul, and her brother as gamers, her type of people, Clyde being the big brother of the bunch, Swift as the guy who gets into accidents everyday, Daemon the guy who has an eating disorder, Zero being the male Rainbow Dash, Night the guy who gets pissed of easily, Rivet being the guy who complains almost about everything, Straight being the stuntman, Artemis being the normal shy type, and oddly, Mise being the drunk.

"Sis, you judge too much." Treble's Inner thoughts interrupted her judgemental thinking.

"Oh I miss you too Inner Thoughts." Gaige replied.

Everyone except Treble simply stared at her with confused looks. They then knew she was as crazy as Treble.

"Treble, mind if you explain your sister?" Straight asked.

"Punk, haven't you learned anything that involves Treble?" Rivet facepalmed as Treble snicked behind him.

Gaige simply smiled with glee at their statement. She knew that this was a sign of a wonderful start.. Until she saw the time on her phone. She was late.

"Crap! I'm late!" She exclaimed.

"Don't worry, we'll have to tour you around school first." Sunset explained.

Gaige gave out a sigh of relief. Good timing too, she was about to get a heart attack.

"Hold up, if Gaige is suppose to be late right now," Treble said, "Does that mean we're late as well?"

Everyone's eyes then shrank in unison. Yes they were late. Suddenly, everyone except Gaige and Sunset ran inside the school on the way to their class. Gaige and Sunset simply chuckled at what they just saw. Sunset then looked at Gaige with a smile and said,

"You are gonna love it here."
