Love Attempts

Walking out of the school you asked yourself just what are you going to do during times like this? No house, no money, no nothing. Walking around the place you decided to see the boss again.

Even if you did resign from No Mans Land it doesn't mean you can't watch the fights. You jogged your way to the shady alley where no one would ever suspect a thing.

"Password." The guard coldly demanded.

"Deireadh an domhain." The door opened. You stepped inside to see the place packed again. Being a spectator you switched your path from the Pit to the bleachers. Strange but it's reality now.

Taking your sit in the middle you watched on.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight we have a good one for you!" A bulky middle age man stepped in. "Standing at six feet five inches tall....Rrrrrrrreeeeeeddddd Aaarrrrooowwww!" Red Arrow got a decent ovation from the crowd.

"And his opponent, from the bottomless pit this issss Aaaaddddddrrrrrraaaameleccchhh!" The crowd roared in cheers seeing a fan favorite. Adramelech wore nothing but red surrounding this body. His demonic look was truly terrifying.

"Fight!"

Adramelech immediately went on the offensive side tackling Red Arrow while punching the living daylights out of him. Adramelech is literally a beast.

Red Arrow forcefully shoved him off catching his breath for a moment.

"Hey you're Death!" Someone behind you blurted out catching the attention of the whole crowd.

"Holy shit! It is Death!" You didn't even got to see the outcome of the match because you ran out of the bleachers and headed to the bosses office.

Kicking the doors open you found the boss doing some paperwork.

"Death?! What are you doing here???"

"Sorry if I can in at a bad time. I was trying watch a match until someone recognized me so I came here to avoid the horde."

"Well what did you expect?" The boss raised his hands to the air. "You killed Gravestone last time you were here. That's a pretty big deal to everyone who knows about the place." You're so stupid sometimes.

"Ah hell I forgot about that." You looked at the pile of papers. "Need any help with that?"

Although it wasn't the most exciting thing to do you were bored. Heck you'd watch paint dry. Wasting six whole hours of boring adult things you waved the boss goodbye happy to see him again.

"Now if I can just avoid these people." You whispered crouching. The place was still packed with people and corpses. You made sure to stick to the shadows like a ninja.

You were doing great actually, until you saw a decapitated head beside you.

"OH FUCK!" You screamed causing heads to turn your direction.

"There's Death!" A supposedly fan shouted. Once you saw people getting out of there seat you knew it was time to bail. Running over the head you ran like your life depended on it. Bursting out of the doors you zipped across the streets not knowing where you were going until a familiar sight caught your attention.

"Sugarcube Corner!" Looking behind you saw that the crowd was at least a good two minutes behind. Reaching the bakery you nervously knocked on the door not caring about the"Sorry we're Closed" sign.

"Open up, Open up!" Then someone opened the door.

"Rarity!?" She had a similar look of confusion on her face. "Well I knew you were crazy about....." Rarity rolled her eyes hearing you trying to flirt again. ".....what the hell am I saying!? Can you go get Pinkie Pie for me?" You started to hear the mob reaching your only hope of escape closer.

"Here I am!" You looked up to see Pinkie hanging by the ceiling.

"Pinkie can I stay here for the night?" Hearing the sounds grow closer you grew more anxious. "Like right now!"

"No! Pinkie Pie you said he wasn't going to come!"

"I didn't know he was even coming at all!" Pinkie protested.

"Make up your mind already!" You shouted see the crowd at the end of the sidewalk.

"Alright! Come In!" You leaped inside like a tiger catching his prey and closed the door. You sat behind the door feeling the footsteps shake the floor. After a minute the footsteps disappeared.

You let out a huge sigh of relief. "Thank god they're gone! Thanks Pinkie..." Now that you looked at the bakery you found that all six girls were here in their pajamas. "...what the hell?"

"Hi?" They all said at once minus Pinkie Pie.

"Sorry I didn't tell you but we're having a sleepover!" Pinkie threw confetti at you to add more emphasis. Really a sleepover?

"A sleepover? You know what? I'll just let myself go..."

"You can't go tonight! There's supposed to be a thunderstorm just about..." The sound of rain filled your hearing. "...Now." How does she do it?

"Yeah." You said awkwardly. "Guess I have to choice then." Rarity wasn't so easy to convince.

"No choice!? I say not! Go back to your parents house so we can have our fun." Everyone froze as soon as she finished. You felt your heart stop at the sound of your parents.

"Eh heh heh heh, don't say things like that Rarity!" As far as you knew it everyone here knew about your whole parent situation save for Rarity.

"Don't listen to her partner. Even if she doesn't know what's she's talking about." Applejack gave her the coldest stare she could muster.

"R-right. I'll stay down here for the night if you don't mind." You declared taking your spot in front of the door.

"But the fun is happening right upstairs!"

"Please Pinkie." You spoke in a serious tone. "Just....let me stay here."

Pinkie Pie took the hint and told everyone to come back upstairs. You took your sketchbook out of your pocket which mysteriously fit in there. Oooohhh! It was a bit bended because of the running but it was still intact.

Flipping the page to the image of your parents you stared silently at them. Tears dropping from your face after all these years you will always miss them.

Meanwhile Up in Pinkie's Room

"Just what in tarnation were you thinkin' Rarity?"

"Yeah that was really messed up."

"Now he won't join our sleepover!"

"I hope he's okay after that mean thing you said."

Rarity was stunned at this. All she did was tell him to go to his parents house and she was the mean one? This can't happen. You're the bad guy!

"What did I even do?!" Rarity asked making them all look at her she was stupid.

"Don't you know about his parents?" Rarity shook her head. "That's explains it."

"What about his parents? Are they always drunk? No wonder he is so ru-"

"Rarity." Sunset Shimmer interrupted her. "His parents are dead."

"What?" Rarity couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"His parents are dead...." Rarity looked at each one of them checking to see if it was true. All had a somber look on their face nodding.

"Oh..." Rarity felt guilty. Apparently she was the only one who didn't know about this, and now she practically insulted his dead parents.

"Hey." Sunset Shimmer patted her shoulder. "It's not your fault. You didn't know." All these times you've been bugging her, being immature, rude....was because your parents weren't there. To make matters worse Rarity would always come off aggressive to you.

Those sad looks on your face that came around for split second, could it be that she was making you sad more than you should've been in the first place. Then she did something that surprised everyone.

She cried.

"Woah, why are you crying Rarity?" Rainbow Dash asked worried fir her friend.

"Because...I'm the one who makes him gloomy so much!" Rarity bursted into tears once more.

"No, you didn't do it...I did." Sunset Shimmer admitted catching everyone by surprise.

"You did?"

"Don't you ever wonder why he's so hostile to me? It's because of what I did that involved his parents."

"What did you do?"

Sunset Shimmer took a deep breath. This was a story she never told anyone because of how cruel it was. She had to share it at some point.

"It started off during Freshmen year when I was you know, evil. One day he stood up to me because I took his sketchbook thingy. I decided to get my revenge by asking around about it."

"Oh I remember that!" Rainbow Dash chimed in. "You forced me to tell you something so personal that it'll destroy his heart."

"Yeah thanks Dash. Anyways after that I followed him after school one day to see what he did. He went behind some alley and went in a mysterious building. When I went to go in some guy stopped and asked for a password which I found out the next day was Deireadh an Domhain."

"W-what does that mean?" Rarity asked between sniffles.

"End of the World." The sound of thunder boomed causing the girls to jump. What luck!

"Going inside I didn't know what to expect until I found dead corpses around. Asking around I found out that inside they played a game called No Mans Land which was basically an easy way to die. He was competing that day so I watched. He was ruthless is all I'm going to say and after the end of a match your supposed to kill your opponent."

"Kill!? I've been best friends with a murderer all this time!"

"No! He doesn't kill. He never did when he was there. Some called him a baby because of it. Gaining this new information I decided to dress like his mom while making fun of his dad....he broke down to tears afterwards and left the building."

"And I thought Rarity was cold." Dash muttered.

"So now we now where he goes everyday." Applejack concluded.

"Not anymore. Word went around saying that he resigned a few days later after his match with Gravestone who was the number one fighter there." Sunset didn't mention that he killed Gravestone so they wouldn't freak out. She was glad Gravestone was dead because he killed more than one hundred people. Serves him right.

Rarity burst into tears again.

"Something wrong Rarebear?" You called from outside the door. Hearing your voice Rarity opened the door and pounced on you. She pulled you into a bear hug as tears flowed below her eyes.

"What happened in here?" You questioned the others.

"Just a change of heart...that's all." Sunset answered. You stared at her for a minute before realizing what she did. "You told them didn't you?"

"That I did. Are you mad?"

"No, no I'm not. Since you told them and poor ol' Rarebear is in tears then I'm guessing you realize you're mistakes."

"That I also did. Sorry about the whole...Rarebear thing."

"Don't be sorry! This is the longest Rarebear hugged me anyways." You said gently caressing her left cheek.

The feeling was more than enough to cause Rarity to fall asleep.

Asking where her sleeping bag was you placed her there only to have her body cling on to you. Seeing no way out of this you lay down on her sleeping bag with Rarity gently snoring on your neck.

A chorus of Aww's went around the room especially from Pinkie Pie who seemed to understand what was going on between the two of you even if it made her jealous.

"So what did you girls get Rarebear for her special day tomorrow?"
