An alternate universe?

The five of them headed to the field, with Apple Jack in front.

"Here we are. Ah'll be right back," He pointed at the bleachers. "Wait over there." A. J. headed onto the grass, where a rainbow-haired boy was lining up soccer balls to start kicking them to the goal. A.J. tapped the boy on the shoulder, earning him a sock to the stomach.

  "Oh NO! They're fighting," said Butterscotch. There was a frightened look on his face.

  "They're talking!" exclaimed Elusive.

  "HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Bubble, but he yelled into Dusk's ear.

  "Bubble Berry, I thought you were going to keep it down?!" Dusk told Bubble. "So at least consider it."

  "Look! They're walking back!"

  Elusive was right. A.J. was walking back, the rainbow-haired boy right behind, bouncing a soccer ball on his knee. They soon reached them at the bleachers.

"Hey. Name's Blitz. Rainbow Blitz. Apple Jack tells me you want to knock down Sunset Glare from his throne. I would love for the guy to step down, but no one dares to. I'll help you," Dusk started to smile. "After you can beat me one-on-on. Bring your A game, cause I am not losing to a newcomer."

"Uh oh..." Worry started to cross Dusk's face.

"First one to 3 goals wins," Blitz bounced the ball on his knee before kicking it over his head, scoring an impossible goal.

"One to none."

  "That...was..."

  "Hard?"

  "Tiring?"

  "Umm..hard?"

  "WHAT ARE WE SAYING? RANDOM STUFF? OK, THEN!! CHIM CHERRY!!! CHERRY CHANGA!!!"

  Dusk was flat on the field, beat from losing against Blitz,  and out of breath.

  "It...was...both..."

  "You okay?" Dusk saw Blitz's face appear among the other 4. "Sorry, but I don't do easy on anyone. Here.." He extended his hand to Dusk, pulling him to his feet. "So, any ideas to knock Sunset off his pedastal?"

  "I..lost..to...you...by...all...three....points..."

  "Well...duh!" He looked at the others with an expression that said what's with this guy"You stood no chance. But I'll help because you've got the the can-do spirit to do it. You played against me, even when you knew it was a lost cause. So, yeah, I'll help."

  "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Dusk hugged Blitz before being pushed away.

  "Jeez, and I thought Scoot was my biggest fan."

  These words reached Sunset, who was behind the bleachers.

  "Look!" He was handed a phone. There were some recent photos being shown. "Snips and Shears, you've proven yourself useful, " said Sunset to twins standing next to him. "Dusk won't be expecting this!" A smile crept on to his face.

  The human 5 and Dusk headed to Sugar Cube Corner. Bubble said that he lived in the bedroom above the shop. He also said that he could convince the Cakes, or the owners, to let them have a round of free drinks.

  Mrs. Cake walked up to the table they were all sitting at and asked for their orders.

  "Sweet tea."

  "Apple Cider."

  "CHERRY CHANGA!!!"

  "Protien shake."

  "Blueberry smoothie."

  "Yogurt shake."

  "Thank you. I'll call you when they're ready." Mrs. Cake went back to the counter.

  "BUBBLE BERRY, WHY IS MY DRINK ALMOST EMPTY!" Blitz looked at Bubble angrily.

  "Magic?"

  "FESS UP, YOU DRANK IT!!!"

  "Blitz, darling, just order another drink."

  "Fine. Bubble Berry, you're buying."

"Why?"

  "You drank it, 'member?"

  "Oh, right! Be right back."

  "YOGURT SHAKE!"

  "Bubble, want me to place the order while I get my shake?"

  "Ok! Here.." Bubble placed a 5 dollar bill into Dusk's hand.

  Dusk stood up from the chair he was sitting in and headed to the counter.

  "Thank you, Mrs. Cake. Could I also place an order for a protein shake?"

"Yes, that'll be $2.50"

He handed the bill to her, and collected the change. He picked his own drink up, and headed back to his table.

CRASH!

   Dusk quickly bent down to pick up the cup his drink was in, not bothering to look who he bumped into until they both bent over to pick it up. Dusk looked up and saw it was the girl from before. They both quickly stood up.

  "We gotta stop crashing into each other," said the girl. She starting to wipe the shake from her shirt. "Too bad this stain won't get out.."

  "Sorry. I'll be over there. Bye!" He ran away from the spill-site and headed to his table. He sat down in his chair, blushing and looking at his cup.

  "Don't even think about it, darling. If you try to get Sunset Glare's ex-girlfriend, who knows what he might do."

  "Ex-girlfr-"

  "Sunset and Flare broke up about a month ago," said Elusive. "It's amazing he's not done anything horrible to her."

  "He's probably waiting do something really awful."

  "So, do any of y'all how we're gonna help Dusk win them votes," asked Apple Jack.

  "Hmm, I'VE GOT IT!" said Elusive. He jumped up from his seat and threw his hands up. He quickly sat down when everyone started to look at him. "I mean, I got it," he smiled sheepishly.

   "An' what's your idea?" questioned A. J.

  "Remember the Freshman year carnival, when everyone started that trend?"  He pulled something from his bag. "I remember that I was selling these then, and everyone wore them as a sign of unity. If we wore them, we could win enough votes for you, Dusk." He showed them what he pulled out.

   " How are some ears and tails going to help me, Elusive? It's only 2 more days until the Autumn Dance."

   "You'll see, Dusk. Just follow my lead. If we all do it correctly,  we'll win those votes you need," explained Elusive.

  "Sunset Glare won't see what hit him,"said Rainbow Blitz.
