..................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!?"
