Life of Neutralityby -Boshwa-ChaptersPrologue1 Month Ago....Entry #1The Bake Sale of LiesOne Bad Thing After the Next.......Prologue"Do you really think that you can just ignore this and not take responsibility!?!" Angry yells emanated from one of the classrooms of Canterlot High School, catching my attention when I just happened to be nearby. "Your stupid animals attacked me and put several huge tears in my favorite jacket! Do you have any god damned idea how much this thing costs!?!" 'Birds attacked me....wait, what?' I thought. I got closer to the classroom door and was about to look through the tiny window of the door to find out who was in there, until I heard an extremely quiet voice that I instantly recognized. "I-I'm sorry, but if you weren't provoking them so much then-" "I'M SORRY, WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?" "Ummm....nothing." I sighed in frustration, there was only one person that I knew that had a voice that quiet, and there was only one person that was heartless enough to harass her. 'Well shit, guess I have to do something about this.' I thought. I took a deep breath-and then I threw the door open. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE!!??"I screamed as I suddenly entered the room. "AAAAHHHH!!!!" Both Fluttershy and Sunset Shimmer, both of which were literally right next to the door, screamed in terror. Sunset took a step back, slipped, and landed on her butt, and after Fluttershy tripped as well, crawled under the nearest desk for protection. So many things happened at once, I actually found myself just trying to get my brain to comprehend what I just did and what they just did. After I finally recomposed myself, I looked down at Sunset (who has recovered from the shock and was currently glaring daggers at me), and then I turned my attention to Fluttershy, who was surprisingly recovering from the shock in such a quick time. Both of them were looking at me, probably expecting me to explain my actions, so I decided to act a little bit dumb. "Ummm...Sunset, there's no need to sit on the floor, there are some perfectly good chairs near you. And Fluttershy, why are you hiding under the desk? Also, school's over for today, so why are you two still here?" I smiled when I noticed Sunset's eye twitch a little as she was getting up. "Wellllll....before YOU decide to humbly grace us with your presence, me and Fluttershy were just having the most pleasant of conversations." I looked at her in mock surprise. "Wow, your sarcasm has really improved since last time, Sunny. I don't think you can be even more sarcastic, even if you tried!" For a second, I thought I saw the faint outline of a vein appearing on her forehead, but I probably just imagined it. I quickly took a seat that faced the both of them. "From the way you described it, you two must have had a REALLY fun conversation, but the conversational topic must've been so interesting and important that you had to wait until after school to talk about it. Now why is that?" I let the end part of that sentence hang there while Sunset and Fluttershy were just staring at me, Sunset, no doubt, is probably debating in her head on whether or not she should get me involved, given my reputation, and I'm pretty sure Fluttershy is wondering if this is the one where I'm going to actually choose sides. But one things for certain: I already know what they were talking about, and they know it. Eventually, Sunset had her arms crossed and groaned in frustration. "Why should we even bother telling you the whole story if you already got a good grasp of it?" "Alright, fair point." I said, then I immediately put on my serious face. "Let me get this straight, Sunset, so you were continuously doing something that provoked Fluttershy's animals, to the point where they attacked, created several large tears in your jacket, and you're pissed at her?" Sunset then angrily pointed at Fluttershy, who attempted to push herself further into the shadows of the desk. "I may have been the one who provoked them," She defended herself. "but it's HER fault for failing to control her pets!!" "Hmmmmm....." I put more thought into Sunset's excuse. "Fluttershy." When I said her name, I could've sworn I heard her squeak in terror. "While it's bad that Sunset decided to put the blame on you for something that she did, she makes a fair point. After all, one of the responsibilities of being a pet owner is to keep their pets from losing control." Fluttershy poked her head from under the desk, looking at me with a confused look, probably because she expected a much more harsher response from me. "And Sunset?" I got up from the chair and pulled out $150 from my pocket and held it out for her. "Take this, Fluttershy can't pay for the damages, but I can, it should be enough to either fix it or replace the jacket entirely, it's all up to you." Sunset looked at the money, and then looked back at me with the most skeptical looks I've ever seen in my life, regardless, she took the money anyway. Then she turned her attention back to Fluttershy, who has just exited her desk of protection. "Hmph. I guess I can let you off the hook. For now." Just from hearing it, I can tell she's putting a lot more venom into her words than usual. "But let me be clear, if your animals attack me again, I'll PERSONALLY make sure you know what all of your animals taste like as food." Fluttershy's eyes went wide with horror, Sunset smiled. With that said, she immediately turned around and walked right out of the door. A few seconds of silence passed..... *clap* "Well! Now that that's over and done with," I said as I started to walk to the door. "I should probably head home now." But before I could even touch the handle, I felt Fluttershy suddenly grab my arm. Even though I wasn't looking at her, I will bet that she was blushing like crazy. Practically whispering, she said, "Ummm....thank you for helping me out again Canvas, I appreciate it." I chuckled. "No problem, Shy." I removed her arm and then I opened the door and held it for her. "Just don't make it too much of a habit. That's twice you owe me now." Fluttershy nodded. "Ok." And she was about to exit the room, but then she suddenly stopped. I raise my eyebrow. "Umm..Fluttershy, what's wrong?" She blinked a couple of times, but then she shook her head. "Nothing, it's just, I realized you just gave away $150 to Sunset. Are you sure that was such a good idea?" I shrugged. "Eh. I don't really care. What she does with my money is her own business." "But," I grinned. "she should already know that there is always a catch to free money." Later.... "WHY IS THIS MONEY ALL IN $1 BILLS!?!?!?" Author's Note Oh first chapters! Why must you always be a pain in the ass! Anyway, this is technically the second story I've written, the first being on fanfiction.net. Some constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated! \ And for those who happen to be curious, the full name of the main character is: Blank "Grey" Canvas 1 Month Ago....Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Oh god, there's that annoying sound again... Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! I would turn it off, but then I would have to get up. It got louder. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! "UGGHHH!!!" I jumped off my bed, and made a beeline towards my alarm clock, which was on a shelf a few feet away, and slammed the power button. "I knew I shouldn't have let her touch it." I guess I must've made a huge racket, because a few seconds later, the door opened and my sister let herself in "Hey, Grey!" She said with a grin. "Glad to see the upgrades I made to your alarm clock actually got you out of bed." I glared at her. "You couldn't have at least changed the alarm noise to something less annoying? And how many times have I told you stop calling me that?" She laughed. "I'll stop calling you that when YOU stop being the middle man for practically every situation, which I highly doubt you will!" I groaned, knowing full well that she was right. Seeing my discomfort, she patted my head. "Hey, come on! Don't feel that bad about it. Honestly, you being peacemaker is one of the reasons why I'm glad you're my twin brother!" I smiled. "Thanks, Aya. I appreciate it." My sister chuckled and motioned to follow her. "Great! Now come on! I just finished cooking some breakfast; it's your favorite, Vienna Sausage." I felt my mouth water. "Coming!" And I ran into the kitchen. My name is Blank Canvas. I'm 17 years of age, and I have recently been transferred between schools, and the one I've been transferred to is called Canterlot High School. The one who cooked the amazing food, of which I am currently devouring, is my twin sister Aya, who currently goes to Crystal Prep, my former high school. The story of how I was transferred from Crystal Prep, to CHS, is a bit complicated, but I'm just going say that it involved two people arguing in Culinary class, and I just happened to be holding a frying pan. After that happened, I was told I would be going to CHS for the rest of my senior year, and it would've been fine if CHS was a bit closer so that I can walk to it. To remedy this problem, my sister rented an apartment that was of an equal distance from CHS to Crystal, and offered to give me a ride in her car until graduation. "Hey, Grey! Are you ready!" Aya called out. "I'm coming, I'm coming!" I wandered out of my room wearing my favorite oufit, a black zipped shirt combo, vinyl pants, a pair of black loafers, my black vinyl messenger bag, and to complete the look, a black fedora with a white line going across the top. My sister chuckled. "Don't you think you're overdoing it with the black, Canvas?" I shrugged. "Probably, but you can't argue that the look fits me." She thought for a second and nodded. "I guess it kinda does." She then pointed towards the door. "You're ready?" "Yeah, let's get going." We immediately left her apartment, got into her car, and drove off. As I sat in the passenger seat of the car, my mind instantly wandered to the school I was going to. I didn't really know a lot about CHS, the only things I did know about it is that they always lose to Crystal Prep in some stupid competition called the Friendship Games (I really want to meet the person who originally named it) , of which neither me nor my sister never actually been to, because all of the Crystal students never shut up about how CHS is an inferior school, so we never bothered going, even when we did get in trouble later. Actually, speaking of the Friendship Games.... I turned my head towards my sister. "You know, the Friendship Games are only a couple of months away." My sister gives me a quizzical look before turning her attention to the road again. "They are, but why should we care? We've never competed in them before." "Aya, think about it. This year, I'm going to CHS." I see my sister's mouth starting to slowly turn into a smile. "When was the last time we competed against each other?" Before she could respond however, she stopped the car. Confused, I looked around and realized she was parked in the front of the main building of the school. "Well, we're here!" She said, and then looked at me with a serious look. "Remember Grey, you can bring common ground to anybody who is arguing, but try not to go overboard, even if their reason for fighting is completely stupid." I rolled my eyes and exited the car. I waved my sister goodbye and was walking to the main entrance until I she called out to me. "Canvas!" I turned around to see her with a confident look. "What you said earlier, if it means we can finally know which twin is better, then I'll gladly participate in the games!" I continued staring at her as she left the parking lot and out of my sight. I sighed, and I continued my path into the school building, already aware that someone was watching me. "Having your hair color be a red and yellow combo kinda makes being stealthy entirely pointless." I thought as I entered the building. "Wow." I thought. "This place might not as fancy as Crystal Prep, but the layout of the interior is still kind of impressive." I stood in front of the main entrance (or my case exit) as I observed the huge area. There were several trophy cases surrounding the area, all of which belonged to a variety of sports or competitions. As I looked over all of them, I noticed that all of the Soccer trophies that were displayed are for 1st place, all of them, except for the one that was for CHS Vs. Crystal, that trophy was for 2nd. While I continued to look over the trophies and decorations, I heard someone speak so quietly, I almost missed it. "Umm..are you the transfer student?" "Yeah, I am." I turned to the person who was speaking, who was a girl that was currently trying to hide behind her light pink hair. "Are you the one who's supposed to give me a tour?" She nodded. "Yes, I'm Fluttershy." Then she started fidgeting, obviously trying to force out what she was going to say next. Alright, I need to take care of this now, or we're going to be here forever. "Nice to meet you Fluttershy, I'm Blank Canvas." I extended my hand, but when she didn't take it, I put it back in my pocket. "Look, obviously you're really uncomfortable about all of this, meeting new people and all, so how about we tell each other a little bit about ourselves while you give me a tour, alright?" That seemed to work. She nodded and we both started talking about our hobbies and other things while she was giving me a tour. It was slow at first, until I mentioned my dog, then it was like she was never shy to begin with. She started asking me questions about her, what kind of dog she is, how old she was, etc. I told her that my dog was a German Shepard, that she was only a puppy, and that I have no idea how to properly take care of her. Fluttershy then decided to give me some advice on how to take care of a shepard, and every single thing she said was really helpful. When my tour finally came to an end, Fluttershy gave me my class schedule as well as a flyer for an animal shelter, saying that there were a lot of German Shepards in the shelter and she thought it would be a good idea that I knew how to care for a fully grown one before mine grew. "Hope to see you there." She said happily, and exited the building to talk to her best friends, at least, the ones she told me about. I smiled and looked at the flyer. "You know, maybe after school, I will go to the shelter." "Oh, are really so sure about that?" I turned around to see a girl standing behind and looking at me with a smug look while her arms were crossed. Her hair was a combination of red and yellow, strangely reminding me of bacon, she was also wearing a black leather jacket, as well as a purple shirt underneath it that had an emblem of a sun on it. Just from looking at her, I can get a good read on her personality, self-absorbed, condescending, manipulative, and dishonest. I smiled, confusing her a little bit. "I was starting to wonder when I was going to run into someone like you." I made direct eye contact with her. "Now tell me, just how exactly are you going to make me submissive towards you?" Author's Note Again, some criticism will be appreciated. Entry #1Soooooo.......this is a thing If you're kind of confused about all of this, don't worry, I am equally confused as well. For some reason, my sister showed up at school to pick me up, and as soon as I entered her car, she shoved a journal into my hands. "Ummmm...Aya?" I looked at her with a quizzical look. "What....what is this?" Aya made a quick glance towards me and back to the road in front of her. " Grey, it's a journal. What else would it be?" I glared at her. "I know that, but why did you just give me this out of the blue?" "Well....it's been a while since I got you a gift of any kind and I want to know what's been going on in CHS for you." "And......?" "And I really want to know what's going on between you and that Flutter girl." "There it is." I said, then I chuckled. "I'll tell you this much though, she's the first friend I made in a LONG time." I wasn't kidding when I said Fluttershy is my first friend. I think the last time I had a proper friend was when I in Crystal Elementary. After that, it was only acquaintances and people that annoyed me, and coincidentally, they're all Crystal Prep students. ............I wonder how Coloratura's doing? Shit. Didn't mean to get sidetracked. Almost forgot to mention one of the most important things that has happened to me: Sunset Shimmer snapping after 3 weeks of failure. There's a lot of details that need to be mentioned so bear with me. I met Sunset when I first arrived and she went into a monologue about how I shouldn't get in her way, how I should choose wisely about who I want to hang out with, and how if I stick by her, I could quickly become popular. Fortunately, I've had a lot of experience with people like her back at Crystal Prep. "Yeah, what makes you think I care?" I asked. She blinked, obviously wasn't expecting that sort of answer. "Wait, what?" Before I was about to respond, the bell rang, and I immediately walked past her as she was screaming at me. "Hey! Do you have any idea who you're talking to!?" "Nope!" I yelled back with slight annoyance in my tone. "Don't know, don't care, so choke on it!" After that happened, she has tried her hardest to ruin my social life. From blackmail, to false rumors,to ruining my friendships, to trying to record embarrassing moments of myself and posting on the internet etc., and it would've worked if Fluttershy wasn't my only friend, as well as me being a loner, and slightly anti-social. And it went on and on for three straight weeks. The only reason it ended at all was when I caught her rummaging through my bag, looking for my phone. "Ok, seriously? It's been like what? Three weeks? It was funny at first, but it quickly became annoying. Just give it up." When she didn't say anything, I continued. "If you were looking for my phone so you could hack into it, it still would've been incredibly pointless if you actually did find it." She gave me a questionable look. "Pointless? What do you mean?" To answer her question, I pulled my phone out of my shirt pocket and showed it to her. "This is a flip phone made in 2006." ............................................................ ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?!?! When I finally regained my hearing, she just pushed past me and ran out of the building. She hasn't tried anything else since then, so I assume that she has given up, though I have my doubts. Well, I think its about time I close this up and go to bed now. It's currently 2 AM. I might write in this again, but I will make no promises to myself. Blank "Grey" Canvas Author's Note Holy shit, finally finished this chapter! I'm actually surprised how this turned out. There was a lot of information that I couldn't easily put down, but when I wrote it down like it was part of a journal, it was all smooth sailing from there. I just wish I could've made it longer though. The Bake Sale of LiesZzzzzzzzzzzzz......... Tip tap tip tap tip tap. Squeak.. Zzz..mmph. ..................ARF!!! My eyes immediately snap wide open. "SWEET JESUS MALARKEY!!" I jerked up from my bed so suddenly, I almost missed the sight of something small and black get flung from my chest and onto the other end of my bed. It started to struggle amidst the sheets like an upside turtle, until it righted itself back up on it's four legs and then it turned it's head toward me to give me a look that I was all too familiar with. And that look was one of an angry German Shepard puppy. I sighed and I then pointed to the top of my dresser. "Fedora's on top of there. Also I'm sorry." Immediately after I said that, the pup went from an angry glare to an adorable look again. It then jumped on top of my dresser and put my black fedora on it's head, and then exited my room. Not even a few seconds later, my sister came in with a confused look. "The day hasn't even started yet, and Lyn is already wearing your favorite hat?" I glanced at her. Something's weird is going on. Unlike most schools, Crystal Prep actually goes from Monday to Saturday instead of Monday to Friday, so why is Aya still here? Almost as if she read my mind, she responded. "If your wondering why I'm here instead of Crystal, yesterday, Gilda and Lightning Dust set up a prank in the kitchen that would greatly expand the size a cake, but since it was Gilda and Lightning Dust, it came to no surprise that they couldn't control it, and now the entire school is now covered in frosting." I nodded, not even surprised about what happened. "Ok, but can you also tell me why Lyn is even here? I thought Coloratura was supposed to be dogsitting?" "She came by an hour ago to drop her off. Said something about an opportunity that came up that can help her in the music career, and she accepted it, but because of that, she will no longer be able to take care of Lyn." I blinked. "So, no dogsitter?" She shook her head. "No dogsitter. AT ALL." This isn't good. Not only was Coloratura our only real friend in Crystal, but she was also the only person other than myself or my sister that Lyn won't try to bite their hand off. Ever since we adopted her, she has always been really aggressive toward anyone we come into contact with, as well as becoming strangely obsessed with my fedora. Now that I think about it, I thought. Every single person she was aggressive towards were people who have been Crystal students for their whole lives, Coloratura was a transfer student, as well as me and Aya when we were transferred from a public elementary to Crystal Elementary. I then started going through a mental list of people I met in CHS who could possibly be able to handle Lyn until I found the one I was looking for. I looked at my sister with a serious face. "Aya, get ready. We're going CHS." Confused, she asked. "Wait a minute, why? And why would you want to go back to your school on a Saturday?" I smiled. "There's currently a bake sale that has been set up by the school itself, and I'm positive that a certain animal lover will be there." As my sister was parking the car behind the school building, I was able to see the huge amount of people that were here. I know people liked baked goods, but this is insane! Speaking of insane, as we were driving into here, I thought for sure I saw a girl dragging a smaller than average cannon behind her. I think I need to get more sleep. We exited the car and made our way back around to the front to get to the bake sale. As we were getting closer, I noticed that Lyn (whom I decided to bring along), was not next to me anymore, but was instead in front of the Wondercolt statue, just staring at it for a good long minute until I called her back. I wonder what was that all about? I thought. I turned to Aya, but all she did was just shrug. Looking confused as I was. The first person to greet us when we got there was a blond girl with a lazy eye. "Hi there! Welcome to Applejack's Bake Sale!" She said with innocent excitement. She held out a muffin. "Do you want a muffin?" growwwlll Oh that's right. We left before we had breakfast. ........................... I immediately took the muffin, thanked her, and started chowing down, practically eating the entire muffin in one bite. "Oh my god, that was almost the delicious thing I have ever tasted...." "Yayyy!!" She cheered. "So glad you like it!" She then turned to my sister. "What about you? Do you want a-........those clothes..." "Ummmm..." said Aya, kind of confused. "Is everything alright? What's wrong with my clothes?" As if realizing what she just said. She started stuttering. "W-What? Who s-said that your clothes were di-different and wrong!? I-I didn't! And if did, it certainly wouldn't be because your wearing a Crystal Prep uniform!!" ......................"What-" "I GOTTA GO!!" And all that was left of her was a smoke trail and a couple of discarded muffins. I slowly turned my head towards my sister and started glaring at her. "Why." I said. "In God's name. Are you wearing that. Here?!" I barely even noticed, as I have gotten so used to seeing her in the Crystal uniform. Aya nervously scratched her head. "Well, these were the only clean clothes I had, and I would've worn my casual clothes if it weren't for the fact it's currently covered in frosting right now." I contemplated about our current situation, only to let out a very frustrated sigh. "You know what? We're already here. Let's just find Fluttershy as fast as we can, and hope to God that no one tries to start something. Agreed?" She nodded. "Agreed." "Arf!" Lyn barked. We started our search through the dense crowd, but I can already feel all of the glares people were giving us. This couldn't possibly get anymore difficult. Hey, this is Dash! And if you're hearing this- BEEP "Damnit, Rainbow, just where in tarnation are you!?" Author's Note Decided to draw Aya and Canvas growwwlll as well as Lyn just to show you guys what they look like. (At least in my style of drawing). Check it out. Tell me what you think. One Bad Thing After the Next......."Hey! Do you know if-" "I'm sorry, I can't help you. Ask someone else." "Excuse me," "Ummm...I got somewhere to be." "Is Flutter-" "I don't associate with anyone related to Crystal Prep." Several failures later... "What the hell is everyone's problem?!" I exclaimed. "Every single person that we go to either runs away or verbally abuse us the moment they see the uniform your wearing!" "I know," Aya grumbled. "I knew the relationship between our schools was bad, but I didn't expect it to be THIS bad." "Tch I don't know why we didn't expect it, I mean, it's high school! Practically everyone's an....ass....hole....Aya?" "Hm? What is it Grey?" "Where's Lyn?" Aya raised her eyebrow. "I thought you were watching her." ........................................ "Panic?" "Panic." Applejack POV "So Rainbow Dash and the softball team are gonna be here?" I nodded. "That's right, Scootaloo, but y'all are gonna have to be a patient though." Scootaloo smiled and glanced back to her friends, Sweetie Belle and my sister Applebloom. "Guys! There's something I've been working on to show Rainbow Dash, and I'll finally have my chance to show her! Come on!" And they ran off. "Don't do anything crazy you three!" I called out. "Specially you Applebloom!" As soon as they were out of sight though, I immediately sat down in my chair and started silently sobbing into my hands. I shoulda told her the truth, I thought. Now I've gone and gotten her hopes up for nothing. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone to dial Rainbow's number, but when I did, I started having second thoughts. I've called her 40 times and texted her 25 times; she didn't respond to any of them, why would she respond to this one? You promised me Dash. I told everyone you were coming, including Scootaloo. My finger slowly started moving to 'Delete Contact'. If you didn't want to go, you coulda just said so. Did you want to make everyone think I'm a liar? When my finger was directly above 'Delete Contact'. I narrowed my eyes. Fine then, if y'all just gonna forget me and our promise that easily, I'll do the same! ARF! "What in tarnation!?" I shout. I jumped straight out of my seat and looked around for the source of the noise, until I looked down and saw a puppy wearing a fedora looking back up at me. Unsure about what it was doing here, I hesitated before I got the nerve to kneel in front of it. "Hey there lil' fella.." I put my phone down next to me and started moving my hand foward. "What's a lil' guy like you doin' in a place like this?" The dog glanced at my hand and then back to me for a couple of seconds until it suddenly dashed foward, grabbed my phone in its mouth, and took off with it. "What the!?" I double-taked in case I was imagining things. When I realized I wasn't, I sprinted after it. "GET BACK HERE YOU LIL' VARMINT!!!" I chased it throughout the bake sale area, trying my best to avoid crashing into anyone, but I ultimately failed when I lost sight of it when I tripped on a box full of cabbages. "Ugghhh..." I groaned. I picked myself up and rubbed my aching head. "This is a bake sale, what were they going to use these cabbages for anyway?" I then saw a girl rushing over to me with a worried look. "Hey? You alright?" "Yeah, I'm fine. I just-Hold on a minute..." I pointed at her clothes. "Are you a Crystal Prep student?" Her expression dramatically changed from worried to annoyed. She groaned. "Look, I may be from Crystal Prep, but I swear to God, I didn't come here for some evil plan or nefarious reason! I'm just looking for my dog that just happens to like wearing a fedora!" I blinked. "Wait, that dog belongs to you?" "You've seen Lyn? Where is she? Where did she go!?" She asked so quickly I could barely understand her, save for the last part. "To tell the truth," I responded. "I was chasing her a few minutes ago, and then I-SHE'S OVER THERE!!" I pointed towards the top of the Wondercolt statue behind her, and there she was, sitting on the top of the statue as if she was searching for something. Unfortunately, she must've heard me, as she quickly turned her head in our direction, and as soon as she made eye contact, she jumped off the statue and ran around the school building in the direction of the school parking lot. "LYN, YOU STUPID DOG! GET OVER HERE!" "GET BACK HERE WITH MY PHONE!!" Canvas POV I thought I had enough bad things happen to me today, I find out that I will most likely never see my childhood friend again, I go to school on a SATURDAY, no one can help me and my sister with our problem because they practically view Aya as a demon of hell, and now our dog has gone missing......along with my favorite hat. I thought it couldn't get any worse than that...... Until I ran into into Sunset in the school parking lot. "YOU!" She screamed. "Me? What ab-WOAH!!" Sunset grabbed my collar and pinned me against my sisters car "What the hell do you think you're doing here!?" She yelled. "Making sure that my plans will fail again!?" I gave her a confused look. "What are you talking about? I only came here to ask someone for help, I didn't even know that YOU were going to be here!" She didn't get a chance to respond when Lyn jumped right between us out of nowhere and scratched Sunset's face. "AAAHHH!!!" Sunset reeled back in pain and glared at the dog. "YOU STUPID MUTT!!!" "Marphh!" Lyn barked, or at least tried to. She immediately jumped into my arms and placed whatever she was holding into my shirt pocket. "Hm?" I pulled the object out to reveal to myself that it was phone. A phone that immediately started calling someone named Rainbow Dash as my thumb accidentally hit the call button. I was about to shut it off..... ......that is until I heard Sunset's phone going off. ............................................. I looked at the phone screen to check if it was calling Rainbow Dash and it was.....except it's not Rainbow who's receiving the call. From my peripheral, I could see my sister and another girl running in our direction. I glanced up from the phone to look at Sunset, who looked like she was about to murder either me or my dog. "Of all the ways you could ruin someone's friendship," I showed her the phone's screen. "You chose probably the most dumbest way in the world." Okay, she's definitely going to murder me in my sleep now. Author's Note Been a while since I've updated. I feel like it should've taken a much shorter time to find a suitable ringtone for Sunset. Oh well.
Prologue"Do you really think that you can just ignore this and not take responsibility!?!" Angry yells emanated from one of the classrooms of Canterlot High School, catching my attention when I just happened to be nearby. "Your stupid animals attacked me and put several huge tears in my favorite jacket! Do you have any god damned idea how much this thing costs!?!" 'Birds attacked me....wait, what?' I thought. I got closer to the classroom door and was about to look through the tiny window of the door to find out who was in there, until I heard an extremely quiet voice that I instantly recognized. "I-I'm sorry, but if you weren't provoking them so much then-" "I'M SORRY, WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?" "Ummm....nothing." I sighed in frustration, there was only one person that I knew that had a voice that quiet, and there was only one person that was heartless enough to harass her. 'Well shit, guess I have to do something about this.' I thought. I took a deep breath-and then I threw the door open. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE!!??"I screamed as I suddenly entered the room. "AAAAHHHH!!!!" Both Fluttershy and Sunset Shimmer, both of which were literally right next to the door, screamed in terror. Sunset took a step back, slipped, and landed on her butt, and after Fluttershy tripped as well, crawled under the nearest desk for protection. So many things happened at once, I actually found myself just trying to get my brain to comprehend what I just did and what they just did. After I finally recomposed myself, I looked down at Sunset (who has recovered from the shock and was currently glaring daggers at me), and then I turned my attention to Fluttershy, who was surprisingly recovering from the shock in such a quick time. Both of them were looking at me, probably expecting me to explain my actions, so I decided to act a little bit dumb. "Ummm...Sunset, there's no need to sit on the floor, there are some perfectly good chairs near you. And Fluttershy, why are you hiding under the desk? Also, school's over for today, so why are you two still here?" I smiled when I noticed Sunset's eye twitch a little as she was getting up. "Wellllll....before YOU decide to humbly grace us with your presence, me and Fluttershy were just having the most pleasant of conversations." I looked at her in mock surprise. "Wow, your sarcasm has really improved since last time, Sunny. I don't think you can be even more sarcastic, even if you tried!" For a second, I thought I saw the faint outline of a vein appearing on her forehead, but I probably just imagined it. I quickly took a seat that faced the both of them. "From the way you described it, you two must have had a REALLY fun conversation, but the conversational topic must've been so interesting and important that you had to wait until after school to talk about it. Now why is that?" I let the end part of that sentence hang there while Sunset and Fluttershy were just staring at me, Sunset, no doubt, is probably debating in her head on whether or not she should get me involved, given my reputation, and I'm pretty sure Fluttershy is wondering if this is the one where I'm going to actually choose sides. But one things for certain: I already know what they were talking about, and they know it. Eventually, Sunset had her arms crossed and groaned in frustration. "Why should we even bother telling you the whole story if you already got a good grasp of it?" "Alright, fair point." I said, then I immediately put on my serious face. "Let me get this straight, Sunset, so you were continuously doing something that provoked Fluttershy's animals, to the point where they attacked, created several large tears in your jacket, and you're pissed at her?" Sunset then angrily pointed at Fluttershy, who attempted to push herself further into the shadows of the desk. "I may have been the one who provoked them," She defended herself. "but it's HER fault for failing to control her pets!!" "Hmmmmm....." I put more thought into Sunset's excuse. "Fluttershy." When I said her name, I could've sworn I heard her squeak in terror. "While it's bad that Sunset decided to put the blame on you for something that she did, she makes a fair point. After all, one of the responsibilities of being a pet owner is to keep their pets from losing control." Fluttershy poked her head from under the desk, looking at me with a confused look, probably because she expected a much more harsher response from me. "And Sunset?" I got up from the chair and pulled out $150 from my pocket and held it out for her. "Take this, Fluttershy can't pay for the damages, but I can, it should be enough to either fix it or replace the jacket entirely, it's all up to you." Sunset looked at the money, and then looked back at me with the most skeptical looks I've ever seen in my life, regardless, she took the money anyway. Then she turned her attention back to Fluttershy, who has just exited her desk of protection. "Hmph. I guess I can let you off the hook. For now." Just from hearing it, I can tell she's putting a lot more venom into her words than usual. "But let me be clear, if your animals attack me again, I'll PERSONALLY make sure you know what all of your animals taste like as food." Fluttershy's eyes went wide with horror, Sunset smiled. With that said, she immediately turned around and walked right out of the door. A few seconds of silence passed..... *clap* "Well! Now that that's over and done with," I said as I started to walk to the door. "I should probably head home now." But before I could even touch the handle, I felt Fluttershy suddenly grab my arm. Even though I wasn't looking at her, I will bet that she was blushing like crazy. Practically whispering, she said, "Ummm....thank you for helping me out again Canvas, I appreciate it." I chuckled. "No problem, Shy." I removed her arm and then I opened the door and held it for her. "Just don't make it too much of a habit. That's twice you owe me now." Fluttershy nodded. "Ok." And she was about to exit the room, but then she suddenly stopped. I raise my eyebrow. "Umm..Fluttershy, what's wrong?" She blinked a couple of times, but then she shook her head. "Nothing, it's just, I realized you just gave away $150 to Sunset. Are you sure that was such a good idea?" I shrugged. "Eh. I don't really care. What she does with my money is her own business." "But," I grinned. "she should already know that there is always a catch to free money." Later.... "WHY IS THIS MONEY ALL IN $1 BILLS!?!?!?" Author's Note Oh first chapters! Why must you always be a pain in the ass! Anyway, this is technically the second story I've written, the first being on fanfiction.net. Some constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated! \ And for those who happen to be curious, the full name of the main character is: Blank "Grey" Canvas
1 Month Ago....Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Oh god, there's that annoying sound again... Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! I would turn it off, but then I would have to get up. It got louder. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! "UGGHHH!!!" I jumped off my bed, and made a beeline towards my alarm clock, which was on a shelf a few feet away, and slammed the power button. "I knew I shouldn't have let her touch it." I guess I must've made a huge racket, because a few seconds later, the door opened and my sister let herself in "Hey, Grey!" She said with a grin. "Glad to see the upgrades I made to your alarm clock actually got you out of bed." I glared at her. "You couldn't have at least changed the alarm noise to something less annoying? And how many times have I told you stop calling me that?" She laughed. "I'll stop calling you that when YOU stop being the middle man for practically every situation, which I highly doubt you will!" I groaned, knowing full well that she was right. Seeing my discomfort, she patted my head. "Hey, come on! Don't feel that bad about it. Honestly, you being peacemaker is one of the reasons why I'm glad you're my twin brother!" I smiled. "Thanks, Aya. I appreciate it." My sister chuckled and motioned to follow her. "Great! Now come on! I just finished cooking some breakfast; it's your favorite, Vienna Sausage." I felt my mouth water. "Coming!" And I ran into the kitchen. My name is Blank Canvas. I'm 17 years of age, and I have recently been transferred between schools, and the one I've been transferred to is called Canterlot High School. The one who cooked the amazing food, of which I am currently devouring, is my twin sister Aya, who currently goes to Crystal Prep, my former high school. The story of how I was transferred from Crystal Prep, to CHS, is a bit complicated, but I'm just going say that it involved two people arguing in Culinary class, and I just happened to be holding a frying pan. After that happened, I was told I would be going to CHS for the rest of my senior year, and it would've been fine if CHS was a bit closer so that I can walk to it. To remedy this problem, my sister rented an apartment that was of an equal distance from CHS to Crystal, and offered to give me a ride in her car until graduation. "Hey, Grey! Are you ready!" Aya called out. "I'm coming, I'm coming!" I wandered out of my room wearing my favorite oufit, a black zipped shirt combo, vinyl pants, a pair of black loafers, my black vinyl messenger bag, and to complete the look, a black fedora with a white line going across the top. My sister chuckled. "Don't you think you're overdoing it with the black, Canvas?" I shrugged. "Probably, but you can't argue that the look fits me." She thought for a second and nodded. "I guess it kinda does." She then pointed towards the door. "You're ready?" "Yeah, let's get going." We immediately left her apartment, got into her car, and drove off. As I sat in the passenger seat of the car, my mind instantly wandered to the school I was going to. I didn't really know a lot about CHS, the only things I did know about it is that they always lose to Crystal Prep in some stupid competition called the Friendship Games (I really want to meet the person who originally named it) , of which neither me nor my sister never actually been to, because all of the Crystal students never shut up about how CHS is an inferior school, so we never bothered going, even when we did get in trouble later. Actually, speaking of the Friendship Games.... I turned my head towards my sister. "You know, the Friendship Games are only a couple of months away." My sister gives me a quizzical look before turning her attention to the road again. "They are, but why should we care? We've never competed in them before." "Aya, think about it. This year, I'm going to CHS." I see my sister's mouth starting to slowly turn into a smile. "When was the last time we competed against each other?" Before she could respond however, she stopped the car. Confused, I looked around and realized she was parked in the front of the main building of the school. "Well, we're here!" She said, and then looked at me with a serious look. "Remember Grey, you can bring common ground to anybody who is arguing, but try not to go overboard, even if their reason for fighting is completely stupid." I rolled my eyes and exited the car. I waved my sister goodbye and was walking to the main entrance until I she called out to me. "Canvas!" I turned around to see her with a confident look. "What you said earlier, if it means we can finally know which twin is better, then I'll gladly participate in the games!" I continued staring at her as she left the parking lot and out of my sight. I sighed, and I continued my path into the school building, already aware that someone was watching me. "Having your hair color be a red and yellow combo kinda makes being stealthy entirely pointless." I thought as I entered the building. "Wow." I thought. "This place might not as fancy as Crystal Prep, but the layout of the interior is still kind of impressive." I stood in front of the main entrance (or my case exit) as I observed the huge area. There were several trophy cases surrounding the area, all of which belonged to a variety of sports or competitions. As I looked over all of them, I noticed that all of the Soccer trophies that were displayed are for 1st place, all of them, except for the one that was for CHS Vs. Crystal, that trophy was for 2nd. While I continued to look over the trophies and decorations, I heard someone speak so quietly, I almost missed it. "Umm..are you the transfer student?" "Yeah, I am." I turned to the person who was speaking, who was a girl that was currently trying to hide behind her light pink hair. "Are you the one who's supposed to give me a tour?" She nodded. "Yes, I'm Fluttershy." Then she started fidgeting, obviously trying to force out what she was going to say next. Alright, I need to take care of this now, or we're going to be here forever. "Nice to meet you Fluttershy, I'm Blank Canvas." I extended my hand, but when she didn't take it, I put it back in my pocket. "Look, obviously you're really uncomfortable about all of this, meeting new people and all, so how about we tell each other a little bit about ourselves while you give me a tour, alright?" That seemed to work. She nodded and we both started talking about our hobbies and other things while she was giving me a tour. It was slow at first, until I mentioned my dog, then it was like she was never shy to begin with. She started asking me questions about her, what kind of dog she is, how old she was, etc. I told her that my dog was a German Shepard, that she was only a puppy, and that I have no idea how to properly take care of her. Fluttershy then decided to give me some advice on how to take care of a shepard, and every single thing she said was really helpful. When my tour finally came to an end, Fluttershy gave me my class schedule as well as a flyer for an animal shelter, saying that there were a lot of German Shepards in the shelter and she thought it would be a good idea that I knew how to care for a fully grown one before mine grew. "Hope to see you there." She said happily, and exited the building to talk to her best friends, at least, the ones she told me about. I smiled and looked at the flyer. "You know, maybe after school, I will go to the shelter." "Oh, are really so sure about that?" I turned around to see a girl standing behind and looking at me with a smug look while her arms were crossed. Her hair was a combination of red and yellow, strangely reminding me of bacon, she was also wearing a black leather jacket, as well as a purple shirt underneath it that had an emblem of a sun on it. Just from looking at her, I can get a good read on her personality, self-absorbed, condescending, manipulative, and dishonest. I smiled, confusing her a little bit. "I was starting to wonder when I was going to run into someone like you." I made direct eye contact with her. "Now tell me, just how exactly are you going to make me submissive towards you?" Author's Note Again, some criticism will be appreciated.
Entry #1Soooooo.......this is a thing If you're kind of confused about all of this, don't worry, I am equally confused as well. For some reason, my sister showed up at school to pick me up, and as soon as I entered her car, she shoved a journal into my hands. "Ummmm...Aya?" I looked at her with a quizzical look. "What....what is this?" Aya made a quick glance towards me and back to the road in front of her. " Grey, it's a journal. What else would it be?" I glared at her. "I know that, but why did you just give me this out of the blue?" "Well....it's been a while since I got you a gift of any kind and I want to know what's been going on in CHS for you." "And......?" "And I really want to know what's going on between you and that Flutter girl." "There it is." I said, then I chuckled. "I'll tell you this much though, she's the first friend I made in a LONG time." I wasn't kidding when I said Fluttershy is my first friend. I think the last time I had a proper friend was when I in Crystal Elementary. After that, it was only acquaintances and people that annoyed me, and coincidentally, they're all Crystal Prep students. ............I wonder how Coloratura's doing? Shit. Didn't mean to get sidetracked. Almost forgot to mention one of the most important things that has happened to me: Sunset Shimmer snapping after 3 weeks of failure. There's a lot of details that need to be mentioned so bear with me. I met Sunset when I first arrived and she went into a monologue about how I shouldn't get in her way, how I should choose wisely about who I want to hang out with, and how if I stick by her, I could quickly become popular. Fortunately, I've had a lot of experience with people like her back at Crystal Prep. "Yeah, what makes you think I care?" I asked. She blinked, obviously wasn't expecting that sort of answer. "Wait, what?" Before I was about to respond, the bell rang, and I immediately walked past her as she was screaming at me. "Hey! Do you have any idea who you're talking to!?" "Nope!" I yelled back with slight annoyance in my tone. "Don't know, don't care, so choke on it!" After that happened, she has tried her hardest to ruin my social life. From blackmail, to false rumors,to ruining my friendships, to trying to record embarrassing moments of myself and posting on the internet etc., and it would've worked if Fluttershy wasn't my only friend, as well as me being a loner, and slightly anti-social. And it went on and on for three straight weeks. The only reason it ended at all was when I caught her rummaging through my bag, looking for my phone. "Ok, seriously? It's been like what? Three weeks? It was funny at first, but it quickly became annoying. Just give it up." When she didn't say anything, I continued. "If you were looking for my phone so you could hack into it, it still would've been incredibly pointless if you actually did find it." She gave me a questionable look. "Pointless? What do you mean?" To answer her question, I pulled my phone out of my shirt pocket and showed it to her. "This is a flip phone made in 2006." ............................................................ ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?!?! When I finally regained my hearing, she just pushed past me and ran out of the building. She hasn't tried anything else since then, so I assume that she has given up, though I have my doubts. Well, I think its about time I close this up and go to bed now. It's currently 2 AM. I might write in this again, but I will make no promises to myself. Blank "Grey" Canvas Author's Note Holy shit, finally finished this chapter! I'm actually surprised how this turned out. There was a lot of information that I couldn't easily put down, but when I wrote it down like it was part of a journal, it was all smooth sailing from there. I just wish I could've made it longer though.
The Bake Sale of LiesZzzzzzzzzzzzz......... Tip tap tip tap tip tap. Squeak.. Zzz..mmph. ..................ARF!!! My eyes immediately snap wide open. "SWEET JESUS MALARKEY!!" I jerked up from my bed so suddenly, I almost missed the sight of something small and black get flung from my chest and onto the other end of my bed. It started to struggle amidst the sheets like an upside turtle, until it righted itself back up on it's four legs and then it turned it's head toward me to give me a look that I was all too familiar with. And that look was one of an angry German Shepard puppy. I sighed and I then pointed to the top of my dresser. "Fedora's on top of there. Also I'm sorry." Immediately after I said that, the pup went from an angry glare to an adorable look again. It then jumped on top of my dresser and put my black fedora on it's head, and then exited my room. Not even a few seconds later, my sister came in with a confused look. "The day hasn't even started yet, and Lyn is already wearing your favorite hat?" I glanced at her. Something's weird is going on. Unlike most schools, Crystal Prep actually goes from Monday to Saturday instead of Monday to Friday, so why is Aya still here? Almost as if she read my mind, she responded. "If your wondering why I'm here instead of Crystal, yesterday, Gilda and Lightning Dust set up a prank in the kitchen that would greatly expand the size a cake, but since it was Gilda and Lightning Dust, it came to no surprise that they couldn't control it, and now the entire school is now covered in frosting." I nodded, not even surprised about what happened. "Ok, but can you also tell me why Lyn is even here? I thought Coloratura was supposed to be dogsitting?" "She came by an hour ago to drop her off. Said something about an opportunity that came up that can help her in the music career, and she accepted it, but because of that, she will no longer be able to take care of Lyn." I blinked. "So, no dogsitter?" She shook her head. "No dogsitter. AT ALL." This isn't good. Not only was Coloratura our only real friend in Crystal, but she was also the only person other than myself or my sister that Lyn won't try to bite their hand off. Ever since we adopted her, she has always been really aggressive toward anyone we come into contact with, as well as becoming strangely obsessed with my fedora. Now that I think about it, I thought. Every single person she was aggressive towards were people who have been Crystal students for their whole lives, Coloratura was a transfer student, as well as me and Aya when we were transferred from a public elementary to Crystal Elementary. I then started going through a mental list of people I met in CHS who could possibly be able to handle Lyn until I found the one I was looking for. I looked at my sister with a serious face. "Aya, get ready. We're going CHS." Confused, she asked. "Wait a minute, why? And why would you want to go back to your school on a Saturday?" I smiled. "There's currently a bake sale that has been set up by the school itself, and I'm positive that a certain animal lover will be there." As my sister was parking the car behind the school building, I was able to see the huge amount of people that were here. I know people liked baked goods, but this is insane! Speaking of insane, as we were driving into here, I thought for sure I saw a girl dragging a smaller than average cannon behind her. I think I need to get more sleep. We exited the car and made our way back around to the front to get to the bake sale. As we were getting closer, I noticed that Lyn (whom I decided to bring along), was not next to me anymore, but was instead in front of the Wondercolt statue, just staring at it for a good long minute until I called her back. I wonder what was that all about? I thought. I turned to Aya, but all she did was just shrug. Looking confused as I was. The first person to greet us when we got there was a blond girl with a lazy eye. "Hi there! Welcome to Applejack's Bake Sale!" She said with innocent excitement. She held out a muffin. "Do you want a muffin?" growwwlll Oh that's right. We left before we had breakfast. ........................... I immediately took the muffin, thanked her, and started chowing down, practically eating the entire muffin in one bite. "Oh my god, that was almost the delicious thing I have ever tasted...." "Yayyy!!" She cheered. "So glad you like it!" She then turned to my sister. "What about you? Do you want a-........those clothes..." "Ummmm..." said Aya, kind of confused. "Is everything alright? What's wrong with my clothes?" As if realizing what she just said. She started stuttering. "W-What? Who s-said that your clothes were di-different and wrong!? I-I didn't! And if did, it certainly wouldn't be because your wearing a Crystal Prep uniform!!" ......................"What-" "I GOTTA GO!!" And all that was left of her was a smoke trail and a couple of discarded muffins. I slowly turned my head towards my sister and started glaring at her. "Why." I said. "In God's name. Are you wearing that. Here?!" I barely even noticed, as I have gotten so used to seeing her in the Crystal uniform. Aya nervously scratched her head. "Well, these were the only clean clothes I had, and I would've worn my casual clothes if it weren't for the fact it's currently covered in frosting right now." I contemplated about our current situation, only to let out a very frustrated sigh. "You know what? We're already here. Let's just find Fluttershy as fast as we can, and hope to God that no one tries to start something. Agreed?" She nodded. "Agreed." "Arf!" Lyn barked. We started our search through the dense crowd, but I can already feel all of the glares people were giving us. This couldn't possibly get anymore difficult. Hey, this is Dash! And if you're hearing this- BEEP "Damnit, Rainbow, just where in tarnation are you!?" Author's Note Decided to draw Aya and Canvas growwwlll as well as Lyn just to show you guys what they look like. (At least in my style of drawing). Check it out. Tell me what you think.
One Bad Thing After the Next......."Hey! Do you know if-" "I'm sorry, I can't help you. Ask someone else." "Excuse me," "Ummm...I got somewhere to be." "Is Flutter-" "I don't associate with anyone related to Crystal Prep." Several failures later... "What the hell is everyone's problem?!" I exclaimed. "Every single person that we go to either runs away or verbally abuse us the moment they see the uniform your wearing!" "I know," Aya grumbled. "I knew the relationship between our schools was bad, but I didn't expect it to be THIS bad." "Tch I don't know why we didn't expect it, I mean, it's high school! Practically everyone's an....ass....hole....Aya?" "Hm? What is it Grey?" "Where's Lyn?" Aya raised her eyebrow. "I thought you were watching her." ........................................ "Panic?" "Panic." Applejack POV "So Rainbow Dash and the softball team are gonna be here?" I nodded. "That's right, Scootaloo, but y'all are gonna have to be a patient though." Scootaloo smiled and glanced back to her friends, Sweetie Belle and my sister Applebloom. "Guys! There's something I've been working on to show Rainbow Dash, and I'll finally have my chance to show her! Come on!" And they ran off. "Don't do anything crazy you three!" I called out. "Specially you Applebloom!" As soon as they were out of sight though, I immediately sat down in my chair and started silently sobbing into my hands. I shoulda told her the truth, I thought. Now I've gone and gotten her hopes up for nothing. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone to dial Rainbow's number, but when I did, I started having second thoughts. I've called her 40 times and texted her 25 times; she didn't respond to any of them, why would she respond to this one? You promised me Dash. I told everyone you were coming, including Scootaloo. My finger slowly started moving to 'Delete Contact'. If you didn't want to go, you coulda just said so. Did you want to make everyone think I'm a liar? When my finger was directly above 'Delete Contact'. I narrowed my eyes. Fine then, if y'all just gonna forget me and our promise that easily, I'll do the same! ARF! "What in tarnation!?" I shout. I jumped straight out of my seat and looked around for the source of the noise, until I looked down and saw a puppy wearing a fedora looking back up at me. Unsure about what it was doing here, I hesitated before I got the nerve to kneel in front of it. "Hey there lil' fella.." I put my phone down next to me and started moving my hand foward. "What's a lil' guy like you doin' in a place like this?" The dog glanced at my hand and then back to me for a couple of seconds until it suddenly dashed foward, grabbed my phone in its mouth, and took off with it. "What the!?" I double-taked in case I was imagining things. When I realized I wasn't, I sprinted after it. "GET BACK HERE YOU LIL' VARMINT!!!" I chased it throughout the bake sale area, trying my best to avoid crashing into anyone, but I ultimately failed when I lost sight of it when I tripped on a box full of cabbages. "Ugghhh..." I groaned. I picked myself up and rubbed my aching head. "This is a bake sale, what were they going to use these cabbages for anyway?" I then saw a girl rushing over to me with a worried look. "Hey? You alright?" "Yeah, I'm fine. I just-Hold on a minute..." I pointed at her clothes. "Are you a Crystal Prep student?" Her expression dramatically changed from worried to annoyed. She groaned. "Look, I may be from Crystal Prep, but I swear to God, I didn't come here for some evil plan or nefarious reason! I'm just looking for my dog that just happens to like wearing a fedora!" I blinked. "Wait, that dog belongs to you?" "You've seen Lyn? Where is she? Where did she go!?" She asked so quickly I could barely understand her, save for the last part. "To tell the truth," I responded. "I was chasing her a few minutes ago, and then I-SHE'S OVER THERE!!" I pointed towards the top of the Wondercolt statue behind her, and there she was, sitting on the top of the statue as if she was searching for something. Unfortunately, she must've heard me, as she quickly turned her head in our direction, and as soon as she made eye contact, she jumped off the statue and ran around the school building in the direction of the school parking lot. "LYN, YOU STUPID DOG! GET OVER HERE!" "GET BACK HERE WITH MY PHONE!!" Canvas POV I thought I had enough bad things happen to me today, I find out that I will most likely never see my childhood friend again, I go to school on a SATURDAY, no one can help me and my sister with our problem because they practically view Aya as a demon of hell, and now our dog has gone missing......along with my favorite hat. I thought it couldn't get any worse than that...... Until I ran into into Sunset in the school parking lot. "YOU!" She screamed. "Me? What ab-WOAH!!" Sunset grabbed my collar and pinned me against my sisters car "What the hell do you think you're doing here!?" She yelled. "Making sure that my plans will fail again!?" I gave her a confused look. "What are you talking about? I only came here to ask someone for help, I didn't even know that YOU were going to be here!" She didn't get a chance to respond when Lyn jumped right between us out of nowhere and scratched Sunset's face. "AAAHHH!!!" Sunset reeled back in pain and glared at the dog. "YOU STUPID MUTT!!!" "Marphh!" Lyn barked, or at least tried to. She immediately jumped into my arms and placed whatever she was holding into my shirt pocket. "Hm?" I pulled the object out to reveal to myself that it was phone. A phone that immediately started calling someone named Rainbow Dash as my thumb accidentally hit the call button. I was about to shut it off..... ......that is until I heard Sunset's phone going off. ............................................. I looked at the phone screen to check if it was calling Rainbow Dash and it was.....except it's not Rainbow who's receiving the call. From my peripheral, I could see my sister and another girl running in our direction. I glanced up from the phone to look at Sunset, who looked like she was about to murder either me or my dog. "Of all the ways you could ruin someone's friendship," I showed her the phone's screen. "You chose probably the most dumbest way in the world." Okay, she's definitely going to murder me in my sleep now. Author's Note Been a while since I've updated. I feel like it should've taken a much shorter time to find a suitable ringtone for Sunset. Oh well.
