Life of Neutrality
One Bad Thing After the Next.......
Previous Chapter"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.
