Chapters You sat there paying attention to Mr. Cranky Doodles lesson on scientific equations. To be more specific, equations involving force, mass, acceleration and whatnot. Although it was hard focusing on his lesson when your crush was sitting beside you.
Rarity
Her indigo hair, pure white skin and best of all, those sapphire blue eyes that screams out BEAUTIFUL! Sadly she doesn't feel the same way about you but that doesn't stop you from trying.
Ever since the day you first asked her out with the result of rejection you have tried multiple times to win her heart. So you always started out seeing Rarity during Science class with the occasional flirting. Speaking of flirting with her in Science.....
"Pssst! Rarity." You whispered elbowing her softly. She grunted in annoyance obviously trying to ignore you. Rarity has asked Mr. Cranky Doodle to change lab partners because of your "immature behavior" to which he told her that he can only switch seats if the matters were serious.
"Rarity." You smoothly cooed watching Rarity turning her head the other way.
"Rarity!" You said a little louder also catching the attention of the people behind you. Still no reaction from Rarity.
'Looks like I have to step it up.' You thought smirking widely at what you're going to say next.
"Rarebear ." You slowly said earning a few chuckles from the other students. Rarity on the other hand wasn't so amused.
"What is it darling ?" She bitterly hissed at you. You just smiled leaning your chair to the table behind you and placed your elbow on the table trying to look presentable to her. Looking up at the board you saw that Mr. Cranky Doodle was doing an equation on gravity.
"Even if there wasn't gravity on earth, I'd still fall for you." You teased making Rarity groan at your horrible joke that most peers around you laughed at.
"Is there something funny that I should know about?" The wigged headed teacher asked causing all the students to point at you.
"Ah yes the student with the immature behavior is responsible for this." You chuckled not feeling intimidated by the teacher. "Oh you think this is funny?" Mr. Cranky Doodle continued. "Why don't you tell us the answer to this equation...Chuckles?"
'Chuckles? That's a new one' You thought as you looked at the problem. Meanwhile Rarity grinned evily believing that you won't answer the problem correctly.
Find the force due to gravitation acting on two bodies of mass 2 Kg and 5 Kg separated by the distance 5cm
"The solution to that problem is 2.668 × 10-7 N." You replied confidently much to the shock of Mr. Cranky Doodle.
"T-that's correct....well done." Mr. Cranky Doodle stuttered making all the students stare at you in disbelief. However you weren't going to let this slide.
"What's the matter teach? Aren't you going tou-pee any attention as to how I answered that? Am I right guys?" You finished off which lead to the entire class laughing including Rarity. Mr. Cranky Doodle didn't find your "toupee joke" funny at all.
You looked at the horde of laughing students and particularly noticed a pink haired girl laughing louder than anyone else. Once the two of you made eye contact she looked away slightly blushing while you sat there confused before shrugging it off.
Once the laughter died down Mr. Cranky Doodle went back to teaching boring physic related problems. Not wanting to waste 10 minutes of your time you pulled out your sketch book and started sketching your greatest work of art yet.
"Hey Rarity can you turn around for a sec?" Due to your earlier joke she happily obliged your request by facing you with that perfect smile of hers. Taking a mental picture of the scene you thanked her and went back to sketching.
DING!!!!!
The bell rung meaning that it was time for lunch. This also meant that it was time for phase two of your almighty plan to win Rarity's heart. You causally strolled out of class and made your way to the Cafeteria
Once there you waited in line for your food. Granny Smith always makes the best dessert that would cheer you up when your down.....so it's pretty often.
"Hey there Mrs. Smith! What's for lunch today?" You questioned.
"Well if it isn't my favorite student...." She stopped herself before sheepishly smiling at you. "Well besides my three grandchildren, hope you don't mind being fourth."
"Not at all Mrs. Smith, family always come first after all." She nodded in agreement and started to serve you today's lunch. Vegetable Stew, always a preferable healthy meal. You thanked Mrs. Smith and went off to your usual table.....alone.
The fact that you sat alone from everyone didn't bother you as much as it should have. It always gave you time to think in peace.
While you were eating your stew, the taste reminded you of the stew that your late mother would make. One thought lead to the next and before you knew it a tear went down your face.
Everyone saw you as that person who was always happy, looking at the bright side of bad situations. You chuckled.
'If only they knew.'
Wiping the tears of your face you forced yourself to smile so no one will say anything. Looking down at your watch you found out that lunch was nearly over. You must've really been deep in thought.
Looking at the table at the middle of the cafeteria was Rarity talking with her friends. You remembered a few weeks ago when they hated each others guts. Now they act like nothing has ever happened. What's even more strange is that the Sunset Shimmer is sitting among them.
Just thinking about her makes your blood boil. Sunset doesn't deserve friends, she made everyone's life a living hell. Most say what she did to you was worser than anyone else to which you agreed with. Never in your life would you ever forget that day.
Sunset Shimmer, the new addition to the table made it harder for you to sit at. Part of the reason why you're at this table. Even with Sunset Shimmer at the table you still need to follow Phase two of your master plan.
Sighing, you emptied your tray by the nearest trash can and made your way to her table. Maybe this time will be different, or not.
'Here we go again.... Attempt Number Twenty Two.' **
"What's up girls!" You called out catching the attention of the six girls. You could hear Rarity groan as she banged her head on the table. For a split second your expression went somber until you shook it off.
'Keep your smile on'
You sat down next to Rarity making her groan louder. You faked a chuckle while the rest of the girls stared at you puzzled.
"Aww come on Rarity, you know you're glad to see me." Rarity kept her head down hoping that you would go away. It takes a lot more than that to steer you away. So you decided to make small talk with the others.
"Rainbow Dash." Ah yes the captain of every sports team, also known as your former enemy. Back then the two of you were best friends until soccer tryouts. You both "auditioned" for the role of captain and crushed everyone else wanting to be captain as well.
The coach couldn't decide which one of you to choose so he placed You in a match against Rainbow Dash. Long story short you beat her 5-2. But the coach chose her over you saying that Rainbow showed more determination. Like, what the heck?
Needless to say you were pissed off. You won that game fair and square yet he picked her. Since she was your best friend you congratulated her. The coach still give you a position on the team which you graciously accepted.
The first game came around and Rainbow Dash was a complete ball hog. Every time the ball came to you she came at the last second and snatched it from you. You were okay with it until it happened all throughout the game.
The other players tried to pass it to you knowing full well that you can score a goal easily. Whenever Rainbow Dash "stole" the ball from you she would miss every kick. It got up to a point where you took off your jersey and left the game.
Since then you ignored her presence every time she came up to you. That was until now.
"H-hey d-d-dude." Rainbow Dash nervously said extending her hand towards you. You noticed how shaky her arm was so you decided to have a little fun with her.
"What's the matter Dash? Still sore over the loss?" She gasped making her arm wobble even more. You took her hand and shook it firmly. "I see your grip hasn't changed a bit since the last time we squared off." You released her hand and turned to the next person.
"Applejack." One of Mrs. Smith's grandchildren, you know her pretty well because of the days where you help clean after the cafeteria. Applejack and Mrs. Smith often invited you to their farm where you met their other siblings.
"Well howdy there partner! It's been too long since we last talked ya know?" Her southern accent is one of the best features about her other than her hat.
"Likewise my friend." You replied turning to the next person.
"Hey there Fluttershy." You greeted causing Fluttershy to hide behind her hair. Typical. There was no point trying to talk to her so you turned to the next perosn.
"Hey there....." You stared at the unfamiliar girl before realizing that she was the pink haired girl from Science Class. "I don't think we met before." You introduced yourself and waited for her to do the same.
"I-I'm R-Pinkie Lie-Pie!" Geez, she's more shyer than Fluttershy.
"Hi Rpinkie Liepie!" You said causing everyone to chuckle while Rpinkie Liepie ran out the doors. Though you could've sworn that her cheeks were dark crimson.
You laughed as you ignored the last person at the edge of the table and turned your attention back to Rarity.
"I feel like your trying to ignore me Rarity ".
"That's because I'm trying to darling."
"Well....you're talking to me aren't you?" You queered ticking off Rarity. "My offer still stands you know." This caught her attention, she stared at you with a serious gaze.
"I said it once and I'll say it again. The answer is NO."
Attempt 22 Failed
While most around the table were perplexed you sighed sadly as another attempt failed.
"Well there's always tomorrow." You switched to your cheerful expression. "See ya later Rarebear!" You got up and headed through the doors wondering just what are you doing with your life.
"Wwwhat was that all about Rarity?" Applejack questioned.
"Nothing. Just...nothing."
The following day
DING!!!!!
"Hallelujah! Math is finally over!" You shouted running out of Ms. Cheerilee's math class. All these complicated numbers and square roots are impossible.
Next up Science Class. The only class that you get to see Rarity minus lunch. Today is a new day and a new day meant another attempt to woo Rarity.
You pulled out your sketchbook and wrote down the following words.
Attempt #23
Closing the sketchbook you quickly made your way to Mr. Cranky Doodles class not wanting to get your 3rd tardy. 3 tardies meant detention, such a stupid rule.
DING!!!!
The bell rung just as you stepped foot in the classroom.
"Your late." The toupee teacher said sternly.
"Technically both my feet were in the room before the bell rung so I'm not late." You declared knowing all the rules this school has. You bested the teacher twice this week.
"Fine....just go take your seat." Pumping your fist in the air you took your seat beside Rarity. Just as you did Rarity shifted herself away from you bringing down your mood. Today's been a rough day for your tastes anyways so you decided to skip the flirting.
"Alright students today we will be learning about Newtons laws of motion. Can anyone tell what they are?" Seriously? Everyone should've known this by now and yet they're still teaching it.
To pass the time you once again took out your sketchbook and turned to a specific page. This drawing consists of your parents...oh how you missed those days. The drawing was still incomplete because you couldn't find it in your heart to see it.
"I miss you guys." You whispered admiring your drawing. You grabbed your fathers special pencil and drew like your life depended on it.
"Darling."
"Darling."
"Darling!" You snapped out of your artistic trance and looked at Rarity.
"What is it?" You asked annoyed that she made you lose focus of your sketching. Rarity seemed taken back at your sudden behavior which was lacking it's happiness.
"I'm waiting." She impatiently replied.
"For what?!"
Mr. Cranky Doodle heard you talking and asked you to step out of the classroom. You shot Rarity an angry look before grabbing your things and walking out the classroom. Not before you slammed the door shut.
"Fuck this shit!" You yelled kicking a random locker out of rage.
Mr. Cranky Doodle heard you from inside and told the class to wait. Then he stepped out of the classroom and confronted you.
"That behavior is highly inappropriate! Go to the principals office NOW!" He shouted causing you to flinch. You've never seen him this mad before. Grumbling, you nodded taking your stuff and headed towards Principal Celestia's offfice.
Seeing the door titled: Principals Office , you kicked the door open catching Principal Celestia by surprise.
"Out of everyone in the entire school I didn't expect you here." As if you cared, you told her what occured during Science and why you were sent here.
"With this new information I don't see any reason to punish you for something you didn't do."
"Exactly!" You shouted raising your hands in the air. "Oh sorry for my rude attitude Principal Celestia today has been rough." You apologized rubbing the back of your neck.
"Really? If you don't mind can you tell me what's on your mind?" No point from keeping this a secret. Besides it'll be for the best, especially when someone is actually offering to hear out your problems.
"I don't see a problem with that." You pulled out your sketchbook and hesitantly turned to that page and showed it to the principal. "These were my parents before they....passed, they got into a car accident on they're way to pick me up from school."
"Oh, I'm very sorry to hear about that." She solemnly adressed. "I must say I love this drawing. How did you learn to draw like that?" She asked admiring your drawings.
You chuckled. "Heh, my dad taught me how to do realistic drawings when I was 10, judging by your reaction he did a great job teaching."
"Your father must've been a great person. Just remember not to let your emotions rage out." She warned giving you back your sketchbook.
"I'll try Principal Celestia.....thanks for the talk, I feel much better telling someone about this." you thanked her before walking out of her office.
DING!!!!
Well, there's the bell meaning class was already over. You changed your path and headed towards the cafeteria. You arrived early which means the line will be shorter.
"Or no line at all." No line was seen so you walked over there and waited for Mrs. Smith to arrive.
"Hello there deary!" Speaking of Mrs. Smith there she is right now. "How's your day going?"
"I'll be honest with you, it hasn't been all that great." She raised an eyebrow wanting you to continue. "But I'm feeling much better now." You assured her.
"If you say so, just to make sure I'll gave you a slice of apple pie." You perked up immediately at the sound of apple pie.
"Really?" She nodded placing the slice on your tray. "Wow! Thanks a bunch Mrs. Smith!" You happily walked over to your table. Life, always throwing the bad things at you and then owing it to you later. You sat there enjoying your slice of apple pie until....
"Hello darling." You looked up to see Rarity and her friends setting their trays down on your table. Your Table. You didn't appreciate the fact that they are just now sitting with you.
"In case you didn't know I like to sit....alone ." You grimly informed them wanting to be alone like always.
"That's part of the reason wh-"
"Cut to the chase Rarity." You cut her off. "Unless it's out of pity I would like you girls to leave." Rarity hung her head in shame knowing that she caused all of this in the first place.
Applejack decided to speak up. "Hey calm down partner we just want to talk to ya."
"Really." They all nodded but you were still tense. "You." You pointed a finger at Sunset Shimmer. "Leave."
"What? Why me?!" Did she really just ask that?
"You know what you did." Your fists started to clench out of anger. "Leave" . Before you knew it she got her tray and went back to her own table.
"Good." Your whole body softened up, letting your shoulders slump down. Now with Sunset Shimmer out of the way you can finish up your apple pie. Grabbing a knife you carefully sliced off a piece of the pie, then you grabbed your fork and stabbed the pie before eating it blissfully.
When you finished chewing the piece you noticed that the five girls were staring at you. "Well? If you want to talk to me then do it. I got places to be ya know."
"Why in tarnation were you eating like that?" Applejack asked as the rest listened on.
"You got a problem with how I eat?!" You half shouted which lead to Applejack raising both her hand in protest while shaking her head. "Good, geez you people act like eating properly is a problem. Now I insist, you better get to talking before I go."
"R-right...." Applejack stammered still taking in the effects of your scolding. "Well we want to ask you why you're such in a foul mood righ-"
You interrupted the farm girl. "Uh, last time I checked that's my own business...not yours."
Applejack was about to protest until Rarity raised her hand making her stop.
"Darling I want to deeply apologize for my actions. It just felt weird when you didn't......you know." She looked at you hoping you would catch on.
You didn't.
"When I didn't do what?" You questioned increasing Rarity's nervousness.
"You know...."
"I don't know."
"......you know" She gulped anxiously. "Similar with the 'gravity joke' you made yesterday." That caught you by surprise. Rarity missing your flirting.
"Miss Rarity, do my ears deceive me? You hearing this Bpinkie?" Like yesterday Bpinkie Liepie fled from the table.
'Wierd, but whatever.'
Feeling the happiness well up from your insides, you nonchalantly made your way to the seat beside Rarity. Sitting down you wickedly smiled at her."You missed my....jokes didn't you? You could've just asked ya know."
"N-no I d-di- oh forget it! Is there any way you could forgive me?" Just the perfect time to ask her out again.
"You know my offer still stands...."
"Anything except that."
Attempt #23 Failed
".....darn it, well you can't blame a guy for trying. How about a hug then?" You asked hopefully.
"Uhh I don't see a problem with that darling." Score !
You opened your arms out wide and waited. Looking at Rarity she seemed unsure as to what to do. You should help out with that.
"Bring it in Rarebear!" You wrapped your arms around her and pulled Rarity closer to you. Soon after you could feel another pair of arms wrap around your side. As you were enjoying the hug the beeping from your watch was heard meaning it was time to go!
When you tried to break the hug you felt yourself being pulled back by Rarity.
"You can let go now." You blurted out not wanting to be late again. Slowly Rarity released the hug with a forced look on her face. Maybe she was trying to hide the fact that she liked it.
"I got to go!" You took the remainder of the apple pie and stuffed it in your pocket. "See ya later Rarebear!" You happily said as you jogged your way out of the cafeteria.
The remainder of the girls sat in silence. Rarity refused to make eye contact as she clutched her right arm witg her left hand while looking down at the floor. It was obvious to everyone at the table that Rarity was embarrassed.
"So....." Rainbow Dash muttered loudly enough breaking the silence. "....Rarebear huh?" This caused Rarity to tighten the hold on her right arm blushing faintly.
"Give her a break Rainbow Dash. It's bad enough that her boyfriend teased her in front of us. Don't be rubbin' it in her face." Applejack thought she did the right thing defending her friend from Rainbow's shenanigans, but she made it worse.
"B-boyfriend!?" Rarity shouted banging her fist on the table which caused Fluttershy to yelp. "As if! He isn't even my type! He's merely some guy testing my patience."
"He's not your boyfriend? Ah'd be lying if Ah said that I didn't believe those rumors."
"What rum-" Rarity was interrupted as Pinkie mysterious popped up behind the table and got all up on Rarity's face.
"Soooo you're saying that he's single?" Pinkie Pie asked while the rest of the girls recovered from the scare.
"In other words yes. Why do you ask?"
"Noooo reason! Wellgottogoseeyougirlslater!" Pinkie Pie raced out of the cafeteria with a huge grin on her face leaving the others bewildered.
Ding!!!
"Finally!" You groaned having grown bored if today's math lesson. Seriously, who the hell needs to know about slope? Why couldn't Math be easy like Science? Speaking of Science it's that time of the day again.
Attempt #24
24th time a charm right?
Feeling confident enough you walked in Mr. Cranky Doodle's class and saw your future sole mate sitting by her lonesome. Of course the only exciting thing in her life right now is you.
Chuckling, you ran your fingers through your jet black hair and sat down in your seat. Although this time Rarity didn't move away from you like she always does.
'I guess that's a start.' You thought as you began to pay attention to the teacher.
"Alright class, today we will learn about.....Cells!" He may have looked happy but deep down you knew he didn't like cells either. "Open your textbooks to page 467."
Of course it had to be textbook work. You lazily attempted to grab one of the stacked textbooks on the table. Just as your hand was on the top textbook you felt something warm coming from the top of your hand.
Following the source of the sudden warmth you found Rarity's hand on top of yours. Smirking cockily, you turned to the eloquent teen who looked mortified of the outcome.
"Rarity if you wanted to hold hands you could've just asked....I don't mind." Step one complete! It couldn't have gone better even if it was an accident. Blushing madly, Rarity quickly lifted her hand away from yours and turned away.
"Don't be like that Rarebe-"
"Don't call me that! Just...pass me a text book will you?" Following Rarity's request you passed her a textbook and opened your own.
'Unicellular cells? Multicellular cells? Well at least it's something new.' You thought looking at page 467. Turns out today's lesson wasn't bad at all, it was interesting.
At one point you saw Rarity laying her head down with the same exact hand that touched your under her head. Even more strange was seeing her nuzzle the hand with her cheek.
"Hey chuckles! I'm talking to you!" Guess you've been staring to long at Rarity.
"You know my name ain't chuckles right?" Who the hell calls their kid Chuckles anyways.
"It should be judging by your behavior. Are you going to answer the question or not?" What question?
"Uhhh, can you say it again please?" You asked politely.
"Since you said please." Mr. Cranky Doodle admired your manners. "What's the difference between an Unicellular organism and a Multicellular one."
"Oh that's simple! A multicellular organism consists of multiple cells while an Unicellular organism is by its own."
"That's correct! Now let's turn to the next pa-"
Ding!!!
"Oh it seems like we ran out of time! We'll pick this up tomorrow." You including the rest of the class scurried out of the room and headed to the cafeteria. Once inside you took your place in line and waited until it was your turn.
"Hello there deary how's it going today?" There's the one person who actually care about your day. You found it funny.
"It's actually going swell! Thanks for asking Mrs. Smith."
"No problem dear." She placed a bowl of fruit salad on your tray. "Now go on and enjoy your meal!" As soon as you walked out of the line you spotted the six girls sitting at your table. Once again, Your Table! Sighing you took your tray and sat at a new table that's been empty for quite some time.
It didn't take too long for them to notice your absence.
"Heya Rarity where's your boyfriend? Heh heh" Rainbow Dash laughed as soon as she saw Rarity turn red.
"That wasn't nice at all Rainbow! How would you like it if we teased you too?" Rarity smiled at Applejack's attempts of silencing Rainbow Dash.
"I wouldn't know cause I got nothing to do with him!" Applejack pondered for a few seconds trying to recall what you have said two days ago.
Then it came to her.
"As Ah recalled two days ago he mentioned somthin' about you losin' to him. By the sound of it, it sounded like you got destroyed ." The look on Dash's face told her everything.
"H-h-how do you know about that!?" She yelled causing students to stare at her in confusion.
"Ah thought you got nothing to do with him." Busted.
Rainbow Dash knew that she'd be caught sooner or later. Maybe there's a way to deny it.
"W-what are you talking about AJ? Why would I lie to my best friends?" Rainbow Dash did her best to look innocent while also staring directly at Applejack.
"Don't lie right in front of mah face Rainbow." It was too late for Rainbow Dash, now she had to spill it.
"Fine. Back then we used to be best friends.....that was until we were in our freshman year." Rainbow Dash sighed sadly remembering "that" day.
"What happened during freshman year?" Rarity asked suddenly intrigued at the conversation. She couldn't tell if that was a good thing.
"It was during soccer tryouts....we both wanted to be the team captain so the coach made us go 1 on 1 with each other which he beat me 5 to 2." This made Applejack laugh out loud.
"It's not funny!" Rainbow Dash snapped at Applejack causing her to stop laughing.
"Ah'm sorry Rainbow, please continue."
"Where was I? Or right! After he beat me in that soccer match the coach chose me instead of him because of my determination." Rainbow Dash explained puzzling the rest of the girls.
"I don't get it, he beat you but the coach chose you?" Fluttershy spoke for the first time today.
"Yeah....that surprised me too. I thought he was happy for me considering that he congratulated me afterwards. But he showed his true colors at the game when he took off his jersey and left. Soon after he ignored me until three days ago. I still don't know why he did that."
"Tell us what you did during the game." Applejack asked.
"I was trying to show everyone that I can be the team leader so I took control of the ball throughout the game. Next thing I know more than half the team quit and the coach had to stop the season to look for more players." Everyone at the table stared at Rainbow with a dumbfounded look on their face.
Is she really that clueless?
Just as Applejack was going to tell Rainbow Dash the truth You sat down at the table beside Rarity.
"Wassup Rarebear? Ya missed me?" Right on cue Liepie left in a hurry leaving you confused once more. Although you decided to shrug it off and focused your attention on your crush.
"No I did not miss you. Now will you leave us alone?" There it is again. That grim feeling was coming up again as those words took affect on you. So you forced your smile to come back without anyone noticing.
"Only if you take up on m-"
"The answer is still no."
Attempt 24 Failed
"Fucking hell." You whispered silently.
"Just the person we were looking for." You heard Applejack say causing you to chortle.
"Heh you don't hear that everyday.....at least for me. So what did ya need?"
"Well Rainbow Dash here..." Applejack patted Dash's shoulder. "...wanted to talk to you for a moment." Rainbow's eyes shot wide open at what Applejack just did.
"She did? Well what do you have to say Dashie?" Laughs were shared around the table because of that "name" you gave to Rainbow Dash.
"D-dashie?" Applejack managed to say between laughs. Rainbow Dash on the other hand was not so amused.
"It's that stupid nickname he gave me when we were kids." The mention of kids made everyone stop their laughter.
"Kids? Just how long have you two known each other?" This remark made you laugh. Getting up you took a seat next to Dashie and got her in a headlock while giving her a noogie.
"I known Dashie since we were tiny tots." You noogied her harder. "Still as defenseless as I remember."
"Gah! Get off of me!" You let her go as you heard your watch beep.
"That's my go!" You got up and ran to the door. "See ya Dashie, see ya Rarebear!" You shouted exiting the cafeteria. Little did you know what was in store for you later that day.
You ran out of the school in a hurry. Being late is something you can't do right now. Being late to school is one thing but being late now is something else.
"Run Forrest Run!" You heard someone yell as you continued running.
'Stupid Memes these days.'
Ignoring the people who said the same thing you continued your run. In a matter of minutes you reached your destination. Catching your breath for a moment you walked to the door and knocked on it.
On top of the door was a sliding peep hole which was opened. Dark crimson eyes met your as you stared at the eyes.
"Password ." He said darkly.
"Deireadh an Domhain." You replied as the doors opened. There stood a 6ft 7 man stepping out of your way so you could get in. Walking in the building you were met by the sounds of screams and cries of the people here.
You looked at the scene before you as two guys were battling out in the pit. After this it was your turn to participate in this sick game called No Mans Land
The rules were simple. You must fight in the pit against another while also brutally beating them to death. There was an exception that allows you to spare your victims life if you wish to not kill. You always took this way not wanting to murder at a young age. But that didn't mean you haven't seen other people get murdered.
There wasn't a prize to this other than food and shelter. As they always say when life gives you lemons you squeeze them at your opponents face in hopes of blinding them.
You've been at this after a year passed since your parents death. It wasn't perfect but it was something, something you call life.
You stood next to the pit waiting for your turn in No Mans Land. The crowd was always so fired up about this game. Tremendous roars of approval spreaded through the crowd as one of the competitors was ready to deliver the final blow.
"The Glove!" He shouted. You shuddered at the thought of being hit by the glove. Many participates used this as their finishing move. Falling down to the pit came a glove accompanied by scissors and knives wired around it.
The guy carefully slid the glove on his hand not wanting to stab himself.
"Who wants to see this mother fucker die!" He shouted gaining the approval of the crowd. Big mistake. The number one rule in No Man Land is to NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN! The down participated took the opportunity to low blow his opponent causing him to fall on his knee's.
Then out of no where the once downed opponent kicked the glove driving it onto the man neck decapitating him in the process. You watched as the head flew into the crowd. Soon after someone shouted:
"I got the head!" He lifted the head proudly as the blood flooded his shirt. The man in the pit took the glove from the decapitated corpse and rose it up high for everyone to see.
"The winner is.....Jjjjjjjjaaaaaaassssssoooooonnn Haaaaaaarrrrtttttt! And what an amazing turn of event's inside the pit." You breathed in deeply and let it out preparing to go in next.
"Good luck kid." The man said to you as he exited the pit.
"For our next match introducing first, our youngest competitor here the teen called Deeeaaathhh!" Death, only name they got that sounded intimidating. Using your real name wouldn't have gone to well.
"And his opponent, Standing over 7 feet tall, Ggggggrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaavvvvvvessssttttooooonnnneeee!"
'I'm so screwed!' You thought looking at the toughest guy around here. Gravestone has an undefeated record of 64-0. With that came 64 corpses along with him. He always used the glove to finish off his opponents.
The horn blew meaning it was time to begin. Your first move was to punch him in the face which was countered into a choke hold by Gravestone. You felt him squeeze your throat as hard as he could cutting off your oxygen supply.
Using dirty tactics you raked him as hard as you could on the eyes making him scream out in pain. As he fell to his knees rubbing his eyes you took the lead by kicking him on the throat.
Gravestone's groggy stance told you that it was time to wear him down. Leaping in the air your arms wrapped around Gravestones. Then with all your might you pulled back while also getting some payback for the choke hold delivering one of your own.
"Aaahhhh!" You shouted tightening the hold hoping that Gravestone will pass out. Luck was not on your side as Gravestone used his massive fists to punch you repeatedly on your chest. After the 6th hit you released the hold due to the pain being inflicted by Gravestone.
Using this to his advantage, Gravestone pinned you down to the floor and punched you directly on your jaw knocking you out on the process. Gravestone took notice of this and got off of you. Turning his back on you he said two words.
"The Glove!" He shouted as the crowd cheered for an outstanding match. The Glove was heard dropping down to the ground. Gravestone leaned down to retrieve the Glove only to have a face full of sharp objects sliced through his head.
"Rule 1 of No Mans Land, never let your guard down!" You shouted removing your foot from the back of his head. The crowd had mixed reactions to this. On one hand the best fighter died but on the other it was most likely the match of the year.
"What a comeback! The winner of this bout' goes to Ddddddddeeeeeeaaaaaaattttthhhhh!" The announcer yelled loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Death!"
"Death!"
"Death!"
Those were the chants that bombarded the building. You looked down at Gravestone's corpse or as you called him, your first murder. It did however make you feel proud due to the fact that his murderous rampage was over. Lives are spared because of this outcome.
Limping your way out of the Pit you made your way to the infirmary to get treated.
"You're good to go Death!" The nurse exclaimed after 5 hours of medical treatment. Who knew you would be better by than.
"Thanks nurse but now I have to talk with the boss." You left the infirmary and headed to the bosses office.
'My time here is over.'
You knocked on the door. A few seconds later the boss opened the door and stared at you.
"Death! I got to say I was really impressed that you beat our best fighter here. I was just thinking on how I could make you the star of No Mans Land! What do you say?" The boss said confidently.
"About that sir I came here to talk about me resigning from No Mans Land?" The boss gasped at your request.
"R-resign!? Why!?"
"I've been here for four years now, starting out as the newbie and look at me now! The top dog! But I been thinking about the future. I asked myself, do I truly want to fight here forever?"
"Why not!?" The boss asked.
"Because this doesn't make me happy! Coming here every day is suicide. As the youngest fighter here I want to live my life to the fullest. I don't want to come hear every day in fear of dying. Please I want to resign sir."
The boss thought about this deeply. It's true he's the one who found you and gave you the job. Watching you advance each day until now where you reached the highest one.
"After thinking about what you said.....I'll be okay to resign you." You mentally cheered to yourself because of this.
"But there's a catch that you know already." Ooh that's right.
"Yes sir I know about it and I'll say if I can beat Gravestone then I can certainly live out on the streets fending on my own."
"You truly are a brave fellow." The boss offered you his hand. "It's was nice while it lasted.
You took his hand and shook it. "It certainly was."
It is nighttime and you are currently walking around the streets for shelter. Your roaring stomach told you it's hungry.
"So this is how it's like living out on the streets. Heh, not as great as I imagin-" You stopped yourself as the sweet aroma of dough filled your nostrils. Back at the Pit they only served canned food and at school Mrs. Smith doesn't serve desert with the exception of the apple pie.
It's been 5 whole years since you last tasted the masterpiece known as doughnuts. Following the scent lead you to a bakery called.....Sugarcube Corner?
"I don't care what the hell it's called! I need some right now!" You peered inside the window only to see Bpinkie Liepie cleaning up the place.
"She works here? Wait what am I saying? That means I can get free pastries!" You walked to the door and pulled it open. The sweet smell of dough trampled the hairs of your nostrils.
"Oh I'm sorry but Sugarcube Corner is clo...." Liepie was at a loss of words as she finally looked up to see who it was. "....oh it's you!" Scanning the bakery Liepie jumped across the counter and hid herself from you.
"Uh if this place is closed then I'll leave."
'No!" She screamed causing you to turn back around. "I-it's not closed. Yeah in fact we just opened! Heh heh heh." She laughed awkwardly.
"You opened during the night? You know what forget it I want to know if you had any free samples I can try." Truth be told you didn't have any bits on you since like forever.
"GRRRRRR " Bpinkie yelped as she hid back behind the counter.
"Sorry, that was my stomach. Haven't eaten since lunch?" You sheepishly said as you watched Bpinkie slowly come out from behind the counter.
"Wow! I haven't heard a stomach growl like that since Applejack decided to stop eating apples for a day. Did your parents not feed you?" She asked making you uncomfortable.
"Well you see they aren't around anymore."
But of course Liepie didn't understand.
"Are they on a work trip? Who leaves their kid alo-"
"Liepie listen to me." You placed both hand on her shoulders and leaned your face closer to hers. "You have to promise not to tell anyone anything that I say tonight." Her face grew redder as your face was inches away from hers.
"I-i p-pink-pinkie p-promise!" Liepie did this skit that you found amusing. This Pinkie promise sounded fair to you.
"Good." You removed your hands from her shoulders. "How do I say this, my parents were killed in a car accident and I've been homeless for five years." You blurted out not mentioning No Mans Land to her. Liepie seemed to innocent for that kind of stuff.
Her jaw dropped to the floor.....literally as she took in this information. In a split second you were pushed to the ground as you felt something wrap itself to you.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Liepie said as she shockingly hugged you. You were never one to turn down a hug so you hugged her back.
After a while you pulled her up so you could look at her eye to eye.
"How about those free samples then?"
Bpinkie or rather Pinkie Pie which you found out later graciously let you have anything at the bakery where the two of you talked for an hour at least. You found out that she was basically similar to you. Always happy, making jokes and having fun.
The hour was filled with stories and laughter until you looked at the time.
"Oh man it's already 10 p.m.? I have to be going." You were about to leave until Pinkie hand forced you back she looked at you with those big baby blue eyes.
"Why do you want to leave so early?"
"It's ten Pinkie. Besides we have school tomorrow anyways." You once again got up while Pinkie pulled you back.
"Where will you go? You're homeless!"
"Back on the streets I guess. Nowhere else to go?" Then she said something that stopped you dead on your tracks.
"You can stay in my room!" An actual room?
"I don't mean to intrude..."
"I insist! I don't want my friend to stay out on the cold streets." She was right. It is suppose to be really cold tonight, ah what the heck!?
"Alright Pinkie Pie, I'll stay with you for tonight." She squealed excitingly squeezing your insides out.
"Not so hard!" You said already feeling the pain come back courtesy of Gravestone.
"Whoopsie!" She let you get up and grabbed your hand tight. "To my room." Pinkie Pie skipped happily up the stairs mostly so you wouldn't see how flustered she is. Not taking the hand holding too seriously you let her take you in her room.
"Here we are!" She opened a door and revealed her bright pink room to you.
"Woah you must really like the color pink!" You exclaimed looking around the room.
"Aaannd this is where you'll be sleeping tonight." She showed you a bed. The only bed in the room meaning it was hers.
"No it's your bed! I can just sleep on the floor."
"But I insist!"
"But it's your bed."
You could see the red on her face coming back as she looked at you shyly.
"We could share?"
"Alright." You said nonchalantly. You walked over to her bed and layed on the soft mattress. Seeing as she hasn't moved a spot you patted the side of the bed.
"What're you waiting for?" You asked.
"You said yes just like that?" Pinkie Pie replied as the redness took over the rest of her face.
"Well yeah no need for both of us to freeze during the night right?" You heard her gasp.
"You're right! It is supposed to be freezing later." She leaped to the air and landed face first on the bed giggling as the mattress bounced back repeatedly. You both got under the cover while Pinkie Pie turned off the lamp leaving the two of you staring at the dark.
After a few minutes you were about to turn in until you could feel the pressure of the bed on Pinkie's side disappear while the pressure on yours increased. Soon after you could feel your body being pushed down further but this was a soft and warm feeling.
You could see a huge lump coming from under the covers which couldn't have been yours. You aren't that fat.
Staring at the lump for a while you saw two blue eyes looking directly at yours. A few seconds later Pinkie's head popped out as she rested her head on your neck and wrapped her limbs around you.
"What are you doing Pinkie?"
"It got cold." Was her only reply as you heard the faint sound of snoring a few minutes later. You delicately stroked her poofy pink hair feeling her curls each time. For the first time since your parent's parents death did you truly feel happy. The smile on your face was no longer forced.
Feeling your eyelids growing tired you gently placed your lips on Pinkie's forehead and whispered in her ear.
"Goodnight Pinkie Pie."
You and Pinkie Pie woke up to the beeping noise coming from your watch. Pinkie slowly unwrapped herself from you so she could get ready for school. Watching her leave to the bathroom you wanted to explore the room some more.
As Pinkie shut the door she silently squealed like a school girl. She got to spend the night with you! More importantly she got to sleep with you! Pinkie wrapped her arms around herself trying to recreate the warmth she felt when she wrapped her limps around you.
It wasn't the same.
Pinkie sighed sadly mostly due to the fact that this could be a one night thing. She wet her hair making it go straight down before grabbing the blow dryer and dryed her hair. As Pinkie turned off the dryer her once straight her suddenly poofed back to normal.
"Much better." She said to herself as she grabbed the doorknob and opened the door to see you checking out a box that she was all to familiar with.
"Do you mind if I can use about ten of these for today?"
Ding!!!
"Okay guys meet me near Mr. Cranky Doodles class, don't be seen over." You secretly spoke to the walkie talkie.
"Roger that over." Great! This has to work. You ran through the halls trying to find the people before the bell rung. Once you were outside Mr. Cranky Doodles class you heard something.
"Psst!" You looked behind you to find a big white fluffy bunny with a blue vest. Right behind him were 8 other students in costumes. A sailor, pizza guy, hot dog guy, guy with a shirt that looks like a tuxedo, burger guy, penguin guy, super girl, and a cheerleader.
"Oh." The bunny gave you a green robe. "You need this." Even if this doesn't work it'll sure be fun at the same time.
"Hit the music burger guy!"
Attempt 25
[youtube=https://youtu.be/WVLZikS4sFE ]
Yyyyeah!
You watched as the party animals walked in the classroom with the music cranked up loud enough to here. The costumed people danced straight away much ti the confusion of everyone in the room.
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey, You walked in the class slowly dancing along too.
Hey
Hey
You were seen in front of the crowd as everyone stared at you in disbelief.
"Yeah" , You pumped your fist in the air.
Hey
Welcome to the revolution
We're taking to the streets today
No more dissolutions cause
We will break away
You were walked around the room in a dancing manner.
"Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa" You chanted along with the other party animals.
"Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa" You sang along getting into the song. Some of the other students joined along.
"Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa" By now more than half the class either came in the group or stayed at there desk chanting along.
"Whoa"
"Hey!"
You pumped your fist in the air again as most students followed along.
Don't want to hear your propaganda
Not listening to a word you say
So go knock and give us all you got cause
We will dig today
"Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa", You got up on Mr. Cranky Doodles desk.
"Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa", You stared at Mr. Cranky Doodle for a second laughing at his shocked face.
"Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa:, You crossed your arms and let yourself fall while the party animals caught you.
"Whoa", The party animals carried you to your seat as the music faded away
"Who turned off the music?" You asked.
"I did." The teacher answered. "It's a distraction to the class, heck I didn't even hear the bell ring so no music in this class!"
The party animals booed at Mr. Cranky Doodle giving him a thumbs down.
"Come on teach, don't be a lemon!"
"A lemon!? Now I know you lost it." Mr. Cranky Doodle declared making the costumed people boo louder.
"Calm down guys and gals, lets just listen to his lesson for today." You assured them calming the party animals down.
They dropped you to your chair and stood around you listening to the lesson. Straightening the robe you looked at Pinkie Pie and gave her a thumbs up for letting you use the costumes.
She mouthed the words "you're welcome" before focusing on the lesson.
"Just what do you think your doing!?" You heard your crush say. Chuckling you stared at Rarity smirking while do so.
"Are you tired? Cause you've been running around in my mind all day!" Step 1 complete. The party animals laughed together at your joke. Rarity simply rolled her eyes and went back to paying attention to Mr. Cranky Doodle until:
Ding!!!
Guess that seen you made took longer than you thought. You along with the rest of the party animals walked out of the class. Following the teachers warning you told the hot dog guy to play the music outside the classroom.
Yyyeaaahhhh!
Getting on the shoulders of the party animals you let them carry you to the cafeteria for lunch.
"Woah-oh-oh-oh Wooaaahh!" You chanted across the hallways. More and more students joined in the group soon after. Since most of the students were behind your original group the line was empty in the cafeteria.
"Alright first person in the line!" You walked to Mrs. Smith who stared at you similarly like how Mr. Cranky Doodle did.
"11 bowls of whatever you have Mrs. Smith." The party animals shouted Yeah in agreement!
"Oh....alright deary." Mrs. Smith each placed bowls of spaghetti at the 11 trays. You told the costumed people to drop you so they'll be able to grab their lunch.
"Thanks Mrs. Smith!" You departed from the line and found Your table empty. Joyful you sat down on your usual seat as everyone else filled the table except one beside you.
"Hey Pinkie Pie!" You shouted across the Cafeteria earning her attention. "Get over here I want to talk to you about some stuff."
Just as you sat down Pinkie Pie came out of nowhere dropping to the seat from the.....air?
"Where did yo-forget it. I just wanted to thank you again for letting me borrow these costumes. It was really fun during Science!"
"No problem! Anything for a friend." Pinkie Pie hugged you so delicately that you couldn't help but hug back. As the two of you were talking the table in the middle are talking about the two of you.
"Hey Rarity! I think Pinkie Pie over there is trying to steal your boyfriend." She pointed at the table where the party animals moved out of the way so you and Pinkie could be seen. The sight of you hugging Pinkie Pie bothered Rarity for some reason.
"He's not my boyfriend!"
"So you wouldn't mind if Pinkie did that?" Rainbow Dash had to hold every nerve of her body trying not to laugh. Rarity turned around and saw an unraveling sight. Pinkie Pie had taken the liberty of sitting on your lap while you played with her hair.
Rarity's teeth started to grind almost bone shattering if you well. The sound of grinding came into a halt when laughter could be heard.
"I told you guys she would be like this! Ha Ha!" Nearly all the girls were dying of hilarity minus Fluttershy whom quietly giggled to herself.
Yeeeaaahhh!
The sound of music bounced around the cafeteria and into everyone's ears. When you were done talking to Pinkie you decided that it was now or never.
Making your way to the table in the middle you saw your beloved Rarity staring at you with wide eyes.
"Drop me on top of the table." You commanded as the party animals nodded. They hoisted you up and placed you on top of the table.
"Sup Rarebear."
"Don't call me that darling ".
"You hear that guys!? She called me her darling again!" The party animals cheered for your success.
"Darl-doode if you're hear to ask me about the offer then the answer is....."
You and the party animals leaned in closer waiting for a response.
"No."
Attempt 25 Failed
All the party animals sighed sadly with you. Then the party animals including the other students that decided to join in started to gather around Rarity booing her right in her face.
Before things got ugly you spoke up. "Guys and Gals stop! If the lady doesn't want to then let her be." You dropped down from the table and dropped the green robe. "The party's over."
"Aww!" The entire cafeteria cried out begging you to continue. You didn't feel like keeping this up anymore, it was ruined. Shoving your hands in your pockets you walked out of the cafeteria not making eye contact to anyone you pass by.
The bunny removed the head of his costume who turned out to be none other than Vice Principal Luna herself.
"Buzzkill." She announced obviously referring to the fashionista. Carrying the bunny head the Vice Principal walked out of the cafeteria to resume her duties. Most followed while angrily eying Rarity for ruining the fun.
Chapter 7 Part One: Attempt #26
Ding!!!
After the aftermath of yesterday you got over it after a while. Today is a new day after all. With the help of Pinkie Pie you borrowed another one of her costumes for today.
Walking out of Math class you made your way to your locker in a hurry. Once there you opened it revealing just what you were looking for.
Attempt 26
Putting on the sleek leather jacket you casually made your way in the classroom. All eyes were on you as soon as you entered in the room.
Ding!!!
You took your sweet time after the bell rang. Unfortunately, Mr. Cranky Doodle wasn't going to let you do that.
"Please take your seat before I have to give you detention."
"Yes Sir!" You took your seat in obedience. Detention wasn't on your list today, or any day.
"Alright class please turn your textbooks to page 632." Not wanting to repeat what happened last time you let Rarity get a textbook first. You watched as she quickly place her hand on top of the book but it never moved.
It must've been a minute before you spoke up. "Can ya hurry it up please?" Realizing what she's doing Rarity squeaked quietly grabbing the book.
"Oookaay." You grabbed the other textbook and opened it up on page 632.
'The Water Cycle huh?'
Skimming through the page you got the basic information of the lesson and decided to take it easy for a while. Catching Rarity staring at you for a split second you decided to have some fun with her. Grabbing the last piece of your get up.
You pulled out a pair of sun glasses and put them on. These always work with the leather jackets....well not all the time at most.
"Darling, why do you have those sunglasses? It's not even sunny in here." Rarity exclaimed perplexed at what you're getting at. Here it goes!
"Because." You lowered your sunglasses down to see her better. "Our future is so bright to together!" Step one complete! This time around was different, you could see a light shade of pink spread across her cheeks.
"Ahem!" Mr. Cranky Doodle voice caught your attention. "Why do you have a pair of 'rad shades' on you?"
A little joke wouldn't hurt....for you of course.
"Because the shininess of your head can blind eyes ya know?" By luck a sudden breeze knocked the toupee off his head. You screeched. "Eeeek! Help!" You dramatically fainted causing the class to erupt in laughs.
"Rarebear help me up. Oh please!" You raised your hand over to her direction. You could feel her fingers wrap around your hand. You hoisted yourself up with the help of Rarity and saw Mr. Cranky Doodle nervously looking for his toupee.
You attempted to remove your hand from hers but found her fingers tightly locked on to yours.
"Uh Rarity?" You looked at Mr. Cranky Doodle who looked he was about to explode until:
Ding!!!
The sudden loud noise made Rarity jump releasing her grip on you. You ran out of the classroom to avoid the teacher's wrath and scampered off to the cafeteria. Waiting in line as usual you looked behind you every now and then to make sure the teacher doesn't get you from behind.
Grabbing your lunch from Mrs. Smith you walked to your table and sat down. Today's lunch period was rather quiet today which means less writing for you Hero.
Meanwhile at the middle table
"Should I invite him?" Pinkie asked her friends.
"Ah say we should." Applejack chipped in. "It really has been a while since we talked. It'll be a good chance to do so."
"I agree with AJ." Rainbow Dash inquired. "Mostly for the same reasons."
"Me too." Sunset Shimmer agreed. "The only one who still has bad blood with me is him. I...need to apologize." No one asked her what she did seeing how disappointed Sunset was.
"No!" Rarity shouted. "I don't want him there! He's just going to bother me all night. Absolutely no!"
"Fluttershy?"
"Oh um....if Rarity doesn't want him there then as her friends we should follow her request....if you want I guess." Fluttershy practically whispered to the others.
"You sure about this Rarity?" Rarity nodded her head. "Alright then, he won't come to our slee-"
"Oh Rarebear~"
"Please don't." Rarity groaned banging her head at the table. "No I will not accept your 'offer' so will you go away!?"
Attempt 26 Failed
Hell....she already knew what you were going to say. You obeyed and walked away letting the wind guide you to who knows where.
"Just what is this offer Rarity? He's been asking you that all week."
"It's nothing to concern yourselves about. I'll see you girls later tonight."
Chapter 7 Part Two: The Sleepover
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
"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?"
Chapter 8: Rarity's Birthday! (Attempt #28)
Rarity woke up the following day to find herself cuddled up next to you. The events of the previous day came to mind as she let you hold her. Although she didn't mind.
"Glad to see you awake Rarebear." You said getting up with her falling down to her own sleeping bag.
Attempt 28
To prepare for the sleepover yesterday she brought the best sleeping bag she had. The one that was most comfortable, soft, warm, she felt none of those things as she lay on the sleeping essential.
Letting out a groan of dissatisfaction Rarity tried to get comfortable like she did on days she actually used the sleeping bag. Finding no luck in this she got up and went in the bathroom to get ready for her day.
"She's going to be there for about two hours or so, what should we plan until then?"
"I can handle the party decorations, all you girls and guy have to do his distract her until her party begins!"
"So we're going to wait for her? Two hours of nothing?"
"Yep!" You groaned out loud.
"Alright girls I'm done!" Rarity chirped exiting the bathroom to see everyone else sleeping. There was person in particular that she looked for.
You weren't there.
In panic Rarity woke up everyone. "Where is he!" She shrieked into their ears.
"Rarity calm down." Sunset tried to calm down Rarity.
"Calm down!? Today's my birthday and I want him to be here!" The others smiled knowing that Rarity is starting to warm up to you quickly. "This is no smiling matter we must find him!"
As Rarity headed through the door Pinkie Pie stopped her. "Don't worry Rarity I know where he is but it's a secret!"
"A secret? I do love a guy who's mysterious..." Realizing what she said Rarity attempted to correct herself. ".....from my novels obviously."
"Riiighttt." Pinkie Pie said sarcastically. "Anyways you should go with the others to your shopping spree."
"But I want him to come too!" Rarity whined ticking Pinkie's nerves.
"Well as requested by you." Pinkie showed her the paper. "You told me not to invite him to any of birthday festivities this year. He'll only be by for a minute to drop off your gift. Hope you don't mind!"
"Don't mind!? I do mind!"
"We can't have the birthday girl mad!" Rarity nodded. "I'll shorten it down to 30 seconds." Rarity snatched the paper away from Pinkie Pie and ripped it in half. "Alright we'll have him not show up at all, geez!"
"I demand that he will be here at once!"
Pinkie pondered about this for a moment. If she can get Rarity to hate you then you'll be hers to keep. Brilliant!
"Oh uh...yeah I was just lying to you! Heh heh, always a classic! He's actually going to meet at the mall when you get there. If he's not there then wait for a minute." **Or forever.
"Yes!" Rarity shouted before looking at all the eyes staring at her. "Because of the shopping spree of course. Now let's go shall we?"
You walked along the sidewalk trying to think about what would be the perfect present for Rarity? The mall had to be avoided because Rarity and the others will be there.
You told Pinkie Pie that you would be arriving late in case you had trouble like now. What a good friend she is!
Lately you noticed people heading left. Maybe there was something you missed. You stopped and turned the other way. A few minutes of walking you started to say see the market place come into the view.
You facepalmed for not thinking of this sooner. But then again this place only opens on the weekends which you speneded inside the Pit.
"Gather around folks and listen here! We have the best deals you could every imagine!" You looked at the direction of the voice and it was none other than Flim alongside his brother Flam. Back when you hung out with Applejack she told you about these two guys who tried to buy her family's farm with their dirty tricks.
"Fake!" You yelled out as you passed their stand. You could feel the brothers cold stare before they went back to advertising for who knows what?
It took thrity minutes of looking around the market place before you found what you were looking for. There sitting on a table was a diamond necklace. You stared at it in awe at suck a magnificent piece of art.
"Beautiful ain't it?" You looked up to see a man with a spiffy blue tuxedo accompanied by a golden belt. Damn! "Name's Filthy Rich, pleasure to meet your acquaintance." You shook his hand and told him how much was the diamond necklace.
"The diamond necklace? That costs 7 thousand dollars." Your face dropped as you heard the price. Seven grand? Well it is made up diamond after all.
"Oh..." You muttered until an idea popped in your mind. "...oh! I know where I can get money! I'll be back later Mr. Rich!" You ran as fast as you could wasting enough time already.
"Can we go now Rarity? We've been waiting for an hour now!" Rainbow Dash protested.
"Pinkie Pie said he'll be here so we're going to wait until then." Rarity countered back not caring how much time she was going to have to wait.
"Oh I don't mind if we wait a little longer. Isn't that right Mr. Duck?" Fluttershy asked to the duck in the fountain.
"Quack!"
"Password?" You were back here again for a reason. To fulfill the heart of Rarity.
"Deireadh an Domhain."
The door slided open allowing you to go in. To prevent the incident that happened yesterday you put on a paper bag on your face to be unrecognizable.
"And the winner is Rrrrrrreeeeeddddd Aarrrrooowwwww!" Guess Red Arrow won the match last time you came. You jumped over the head that blew your cover last time and made your way to the bosses office.
"If you want to join No Mans Land then you'll have to sign this paper....paper bag guy." The boss said as you stood there waiting for him to finish.
"Actually sir it's me." You admitted lifting the bag over your head.
"Death! You're back or should I say bag already? It's like you never left heh heh." The boss chuckled. His puns are way better than yours! Strange.
"I came here to ask about something sir." The boss raised an eyebrow. "You see today's my friends birthday and I want to be her a gift. The thing is it's too expensive. Does my matches and the paperwork I did yesterday gain me any money."
"Of course it does!" The boss pulled out his wallet. "How much does this gift cost?"
"Seven Thousand dollars." The boss flinched. He looked at you to see if you were joking.
"You serious?" You nodded. "I'm sorry but the only way I can give that kind of money is if you compete in another match." Your eyes shot wide opened. "If you're up for it and survive then I'll be happy to give you the
"Anything for my Rarebear." You muttered under your breath. "I'll do it sir!"
"Great! You'll be going up in a while. I suggest you prepare until then." You thanked him before going out the door and in the training room.
"Rarity let's go already! He's not coming, if he was then he would've been here five hours ago." Time escalated fast for Rarity as she waited for you.
"Five hours!? It's been that long already?"
"Rarity look at me." Rainbow Dash commanded. "If we wait for another few hours then the mall will close. Let's just go and if he doesn't show up then he'll most likely be at the pa-"
Sunset Shimmer cleared her throat not wanting Dash to ruin the surprise.
"Oh yeah I forgot." Rainbow Dash rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly.
"Well I supose you're right Rainbow Dash. Oh alright let's go do some shopping!"
"Ladies and Gentlemen for one night only we're bringing back a fighter we'll know you'll enjoy!" You waited behind the pit for your name to be announced.
"Our first fighter, the only one to ever beat Gravestone...." The cheers grew louder knowing it the secret fighter was. "The teen called Ddddeeeeeeaaaaatttthhhhhh!" You walked in the pit getting a great reaction from the crowd.
"His opponent, weighing in 189 pounds Llllaaannnnccceee Mmmmoootttoddddaaaa!" Walking in the pit was a guy wearing tights with red designs over them? Boots? Tape on his wrists? Elbow pads? He must be at the wrong place this is real fighting.
Fight!
In a blink of an eye Lance Motoda jumped up and hit you in the eye.
"Fuck!" You howled in pain feeling your eye swell up in pain. Not giving you a chance to recover Lance kicked you repeatedly on the chest. Guess boots do come in handy.
Having grown bored of kicking you Lance picked you up and slamed you hard on the ground inflicting more damage to the chest. Lance grabbed the collar of your shirt and threw you across like a ragdoll. Groaning in pain you attempted to stand up only for Motoda to stomp on your head dropping you back down.
"This is the end of you Death. The Glove!" The glove dropped to the ground as the crowd desperately wanted you to get back up. This was it. Your luck had finally run out. Lance turned to you with a demonic smile plastered on his lips.
"Can't let my Rarebear down!" Adrenaline flowed through your veins causing you to get back up and start fighting again. Not wanting a face full of knives im his face Motoda dropped the glove and ran straight towards you.
Using all your strength you threw Lance Motoda high in the air and hit him jaw first with your elbow ending the brawl.
"The winner is......Ddddeeeeeeeaaaaattthhhhhh!" The pain from the fight hit you like a train making you fall down to your knees. The boss rushed up to you and asked if you were okay.
"Buy.....diamond....necklace....at..the..market....place...." You fell face first to the ground unconscious.
The five friends were walking back to Sugarcube Corner with shopping bags in their hands. The shopping spree had took them all day but it was worth it. For everyone except Rarity who felt empty for some reason.
"You okay there Rarity?" Applejack commented.
"Oh yes I am it's nothing really. Let's just go to the surprise party and have some fun." Rarity suggested shocking the rest.
"You just had to tell her didn't you Rainbow Dash."
"Hey it wasn't me!"
"Why if I come over there an-"
"Girls it wasn't you. I kinda knew already due to the fact that you threw me one each year."
"Oh."
'Well can you at least act surprise? Pinkie went through a lot to make it for ya." Applejack pointed out.
"Already planned on it." Rarity replied opening the door when:
"Surprise!!!"
"Oh a surprise party for me?" Rarity leaned against the wall. "I am in total shock!"The girls rolled their eyes knowing Pinkie would be the only one to fall for it.
But as Rarity scanned the room she didn't see you anywhere.
You woke up to find yourself on one of the hospital beds. The beating you took was pretty rough but you won it.
"Glad too see you awake." The bosses voice was heard. Looking to your left you saw him holding a small box. "Here's the thing ya asked for before you passed out." The boss tossed the small box to you. Catching it like a boss you opened it to see the same diamond necklace from before.
"Oh thank you sir you don't know how much this means to me!" You cried out. "Wait how long was I out for?"
"For about four hours in counting." The boss answered not aware of your situation.
"Four hours!? I'm going to miss Rarity's birthday!" You jumped off the bed and kicked the door open revealing the hallways of CanterlotMed. That's really far from here. Not wasting time you headed for the stairs and went down them in a breeze.
Ignoring the check out center you burst through the doors and ran to the direction of town that you were most familiar with.
"Please don't let me be late!"
Meanwhile at Sugarcube Corner
Rarity has waited for another 3 hours for your arrival. She just watched the door for countless minutes hoping you would walk through them.
You never did.
Feeling tears come down her eyes Rarity cursed herself for spending her whole birthday waiting for you. She could've been there having fun but nooo, she waited for a guy who never even showed up.
"I'm here! I'm here!" You yelled out catching your breath from running two miles nonstop. Seeing Rarity byherself on the couch you headed her direction with the gift behind your hands.
"Hey Rarity guess what I got you." She crossed her arms and looked the other way. "Is there something the matter Rarity?" You asked not knowing that was her breaking point.
"What's the matter with me!" She screamed causing you to take a few steps back. She got up and stared at you with furious eyes. "You're what's the matter! Abandoning me and you're just showing up now!?"
"But I brought you a present." You protested in defense revealing the small box to her. She stared at it for a few seconds before slapping the gift to the right.
"That's it!? You made me miss out on my birthday waiting for you to show up at the mall for five hours and here for three just for that small box!"
You looked at Pinkie who along with everyone else was watching on. "B-but Pinkie Pie was supposed to tell you that I w-"
"Pinkie Pie has nothing to do with this!" Rarity was in tears now shouting at you for a reason that you don't even understand. "Don't be blaming on others for your short comings. This is all your fault! You have ruined by birthday party!"
You watched as Rarity was gasping for air after screaming at you for a minute. Hanging your head done in shame. You took out your sketchbook.
Attempt 28 Fai-
You felt your sketchbook slip out of your hands as Rarity slapped it out of your hands in the same manner as her gift. "Don't go on writing in that book when I'm talking to you! I am trying to tea......." Your mind tuned Rarity out while you watched your sketchbook land on the campfire.
The sketchbook you spent years on drawing was gone just like that. More importantly that one drawing. You slowly walked to the fire and grabbed the sketchbook not caring how hot it is. You turned to the page where your parents were and found it ruined.
That's the moment you finally snapped.
As soon as you left Rarity sat back down at the couch angrily. She wiped the many tears from her face along with some mascara.
The party died down a minute later making people leave out of awkwardness. Rarity sat alone at the bakery in her own thoughts. Out of the corner of her eye was the small gift brought to her before she snapped. Out of curiosity Rarity grabbed the box and stared at it.
"All because of this stupid box that has garbage in it! Oh what did I expect? The guy was homeless anyways. As if he was going to get me something nice. Let's see what trash he got me now!" Rarity popped open the lid and looked inside with wide eyes.
"Oh.....my." It was a diamond necklace. One that she yearned for too long. Grabbing the necklace she brought it closer to her eyes to see if it was real or not.
It was.
Rarity could feel her bottom lip quivering while her vision got blurry. The guy who bothered her since the start of school. The guy who humiliated her far too many times. The guy who's breaking point finally shattered...by her. They guy who loved her with all his might was you.
"What have I done...." Rarity cried her heart out those couple of minutes realizing that she was a fool for denying your many attempts. That may've been the last time a guy gave their full undivided attention to her, tried many times to woo her heart which she pushed away without consideration.
Clutching the necklace close to her heart Rarity discovered who her heart desires.
You.
The times the two of you holded hands came into memory. The reason why her hand lingered around his was revealed, but some part of her took over and pushed the feeling away.
The time where she hugged you came into mind next. It was the first time where Rarity had noticed how fit you really were. The fuzzy feeling she felt during the hug that made her pull him back when he tried to leave.
Lastly there was the time Rarity slept with you. It was true she did cry when she heard what you've been through. When you called out making sure she was okay, Rarity opened the door and hugged you like any good friend would do.
But friends usually don't hug each other until they wake up. The way she clung on to your body not wanting to let go to her everything.
"I-i'm in love....and I didn't realize it till now....I have to go find him!" Rarity put the necklace around her neck and made a beeline out the door in hopes of finding you.
Rarity didn't notice however was Pinkie Pie who never moved an inch since Rarity's outburst. Pinkie Pie felt extremely guilty that she lied to Rarity now it came to this. Ruining a birthday party of a friend no less. This wasn't whi she truly was and all because of a boy who loved Rarity whom loved him back.
"I got to fix this.....somehow."
Rarity ran to the right where she had last seen you go when you left.
"Please be okay!" Running uphill bright lights were seen throughout the area. Rarity assumed that she was near Canterlot Inn. Ignoring the lights Rarity continued to run until she heard your voice:
"Mom, Dad, your boy's coming home!" Rarity looked up to the direction of your face and was mortified to see what you were doing.
"Suicide..." She muttered. Rarity gasped in horror as she saw you jump of and started to plummet to the ground.
"Darling! Stop!" She screamed but it was too late. The last sound she heard was a loud thud followed hy silence. Your body was more twisted then a pretzel. Limbs in places they shouldn't be.
Rarity screamed as loud as she could. "No! No! Nooo!" Moments later a huge crowd of people came outside to see what was going on only to see a motionless body surrounded with blood.
"Someone call 911 quick!" A man shouted while he ran up to check your body. "He's got a pulse! Hurry people!"
Rarity watched the paramedics take her true love inside the ambulance. That's something a girl shouldn't see at all.
"Alright ma'am please tell us what happened."
Rarity struggled between words. "I-I jus-just c-came here t-to l-lo-look f-for him when I-I saw his b-b-bod-body...." Rarity didn't continue as a result of her crying again.
"Hey don't worry ma'am, he's in good hands now. One more question, do you know why he did this?" Rarity's tears came into a halt when she heard the question. Her wobbly hand pointed to her before she bursted into tears once more. All the man could do was hug her.
For the last month Rarity kept to herself. She avoided her friends when they approach her. When they do manage to see her and ask about you, she walked the other direction trying hard not to cry by hugging the necklace given to her.
Rarity would take her time going to Mr. Cranky Doodles class having the empty seat next to her....just reminding Rarity what she did. Whenever the teachers called on her during class she simply said I don't know before hiding her face in her arms.
During lunch Rarity would grab her tray and sat down at your former seat. The table itself made you feel a lot better because it was where you sat. She would finish her lunch quickly and put her head holding the necklace next to her.
It got to the point where Principal Celestia called Rarity to her office asking what was wrong. Rarity answered again with an I don't know. In reality Rarity did know....she missed you dearly.
The usual flirting followed by the attempts were absent for two whole months. When Rarity got home the first month was filled with crying herself to sleep. The second month she would lay down on her bed and hug her diamond necklace.
She even went so far as to ignoring her own sister by yelling at her to go away. That's the basic routine Rarity went through during you absence.
Her friends however weren't as quiet.
"What's wrong with my sister?" Sweetie Belle asked the six girls. Fed up with the constant neglecting Sweetie Belle wanted to find out what was going on.
"To be honest none of us know why she's likes this but we know what caused her to." Sunset Shimmer answered.
"Um.....isn't that the same thing?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"It'll be better if we explained. You see there was this guy she knew that bugged her all the time by aski-"
"Asking her out!" Sweetie Belle blurted out already knowing about you. "Rarity used to come home everyday and tell me about this guy who would flirt with her and then ask her out everyday!"
"Were you at Rarity's surprise party then?"
"I couldn't make it because someone forgot to invite." Sweetie Belle snarled referring to Pinkie Pie.
"It wasn't my fault that I forgot to!" Pinkie Pie lied knowing that she purposely did that under Rarity's wishes if something bad were to happen which in a way did.
"Right anyways, he was gone for the whole day which angered your sister. When he did come back with a small box and presented it to Rarity she yelled at him."
"Ooh bad move Rarity hates small gifts ever since someone gave her a ketchup packet in one." Sweetie Belle chuckled as she remembered the face her sister made when she found the packet.
"Funny but this is serious. Rarity slapped the present which I assume is the necklace she has right now." Sunset Shimmer pointed at at Rarity whom at the time placed the necklace on the table.
"Wow he gave her a diamond necklace! That's cool! But why is she so sad then?"
"When Rarity threw his sketchbook at the fireplace he sort a lost it. Last I saw him was when he left. None of us have a clue where he went so we tried to asked Rarity but she just keeps on avoiding us." The rest of the girls nodded in agreement.
"Maybe he died?" Sweetie Belle inquired. The girls gasped in shock. "What!?"
"Sweetie Belle that's a horrible thought!" Applejack thought about it. "It would explain a lot but that's beside the point."
"If we can't find out the easy when then we'll force it out her!" Rainbow Dash suggested with a mixed reaction.
"You can't do that to my sister!"
"It's probably for the best."
"It's not very nice...if you don't mind me saying so."
"Ah don't mind as long as it doesn't break her whole darn heart."
Pinkie Pie had been quiet these last two months too. Knowing that she made all this happen with that lie haunts her at night.
"Wait do you think Pinkie?"
"Huh? Oh yeah we should do!" Pinkie lied not knowing what the conversation was about. People should say yes to everything right?
"Alright forcing her is a go but let's not make her cry okay?" The others minus Pinkie who still had no idea what was going on nodded their heads. Sweetie Belle hesitantly agreed wanting her sister to go back to normal.
Three of them went left, two went right and Applejack went to the center in case she decided to jump over the table.
"Rarity!" Hearing the sound of her friend made Rarity snap out of her saddened trance. Seeing her three friends to her right she attempted to go left only to be met by her other two friends. Soon after she got up and jumped from the table only to be caught by Applejack.
"Ah got her!" Applejack cried out gathering around her friends.
"Let me go!" Rarity begged with no luck. There is always a Plan B. "Rover! Fido! Spot!"
Three bulky students blocked Applejack's way. "Let go of Rarity before we make you!" Applejack trying to get past them failed as the trio attempted to grab Rarity from Applejack's hold.
"Let go of Rarebear will ya!" A voice called stopping Rarity's train of thought.
"It can't be." Rarity murmured now easily popping out from Applejack's grasp. Looking to the direction of the voice she saw no one. It was her imagination again.
Rarity was on the verge of tears as she ran out of the cafeteria to avoid her friends once more.
The following day was more or less the same for poor Rarity. Headed to Science Class Rarity sighed sadly as the memories she shared with you in that class came into mind.
'Even if there wasn't gravity on earth, I'd still fall for you.'
'Rarity if you wanted to hold hands you could've just asked....I don't mind.'
'Are you tired? Cause you've been running around in my mind all day!'
'Our future is so bright to together!'
"I miss you so much darling." She kissed the diamond before walking into the class where she saw what seemed like a new student sitting at your chair. It was hard to tell what the student looked like because of the hoodie that covered their face.
"That's not your seat." Rarity whispered coldly about to teach the student a piece of her mind until Mr. Cranky Doodle spoke up.
"Please take your sit Rarity." Cursing under her breath Rarity sat down at the far edge of the table holding her precious diamond from the potential thief.
"Alright class....and welcome about Chuckles, haven't seen you in a while." Rarity heart skipped a beat.
"Is it really him?"
"Again with this Chuckles nonsense? Here I am thinking you forgot about me." The student replied removing the hood revealing none other than you.
"I can never forget a student like you? Class please turn to page 704." Rarity was shaking in her seat. There you were back into her life.
You placed your hand on the textbook. "You know you want to Rarebear." Squealing silently Rarity quickly scooted her chair next to yours and went under your arm before placing her hand on top of yours.
"Am I dreaming?" She questioned you.
"Does this feel real enough for you?" You answered locking your fingers with Rarity's and holding her hand tightly. Rarity's eyes began to water as her life shined brighter than ever.
When class ended you offered her a piggy back ride which she graciously accepted. Feeling her arms wrap firmly around your neck you stood up prouder than ever as you walked out of the class to the cafeteria.
Pinkie Pie watched you walk in the cafeteria with Rarity on your back. When she said she was going to fix this she meant it. Finding out what really did happen to you yesterday on the internet Pinkie visited the hospital and told you about what was happening to your Rarebear.
Hearing that she was at a all time low you asked the people at the hospital if you could leave. Afterwards Pinkie Pie filled you in on what you missed the last two months. Not wanting to spoil the surprise you put on a hoodie to conceal your identity.
Even if Pinkie Pie couldn't have you she was happy that her friend could. It was for the best anyways. However she never told a soul about the lie, some things are left unspoken.
"Rarity, your wetting my shirt!" You joked teasing Rarity of her endless tears.
"I can't help it darling. You don't know how happy I am right now!" Rarity sighed happily relaxing her head on top of your head.
"Two bowls of fruit salad please." You politely asked Mrs. Smith.
"Oh hey deary! I haven't seen you in forever." Mrs. Smith pointed out much to your amusement.
"Yeah someone in particular missed me the most." You nuzzled Rarity's cheek with your own causing her to blush madly.
"Oh I see, well here you go. Have a nice day lovebirds!" Rarity hid her embarrassment by burying her face in your shoulder. You walked to your table waving at the five girls who changed your life for the best. You sat down at your usual seat with Rarity on your lap as you fed her.
"Here comes the airplane Rarebear!" You mimicked the sounds an airplane would make trying to get Rarity to open her mouth.
"I will not be fed like a child!" Looks like she needs some encouragement. You gently placed a kiss in between her eyes causing Rarity to stutter.
"I-i y-mmpf!" You placed the spoon in her mouth pumping your fist in victory. .
"I can't believe you did that!" Rarity complained taking the spoon out of her mouth.
"You know ya liked it Rarebear." You teased kissing her on the nose this time. She happily hummed hugging you in the process.
"Please don't ever do that again." Rarity asked referring to your suicidal attempt.
"Trust me Rarebear." You reassured her. "I got too much to live for now." You grabbed her waist and pulled her closer.
"Oh and what is that?" Rarity queered wrapping her arms around your neck leaning further in.
"That is if you take up on my offer." You holded your breath waiting for Rarity to reject you again.
She didn't.
"I'll have to take up on that offer then." You both leaned together as your lips touch hers.
Attempt 29 Success!
Short Chapter
That's the moment you finally snapped.
Throwing the sketchbook as far as you could you left Sugarcube Corner silently.
"Everything's ruined!" You screamed walking out during the night. Rarity hate's you, you almost got yourself killed for nothing, and worst of all your sketchbook was burned to shreds by now.
'Is life even worth it anymore?'
What are you going to do now? Sleep out on the streets like nothing has happened? No major shit has happened right fucking now!
'Or should I end it all?'
Why haven't you already? Speneded five grueling years in misery should've been enough for anyone else. But you managed on. However now the most important things in your life has been shredded. Why still go through life?
"There's nothing else for me." Reality came back to you. "There's nothing fucking else for me to do! Life's just a shitty way to make you miserable. We all die anyways so what's the fucking point!?" You scanned the area for any high buildings you could spot.
"Canterlot Inn." You muttered under your breath seeing it stand at least 30 feet above ground.
"Perfect! Just fucking dandy!" You shouted opening the door to the hotel. It was rather busy that night so no one paid attention to you.
"Not like they ever did anyways." With a serious look on your face you powered walked to the stair since most would use the elevator. Walking up for a few minutes you finally spotted a door that read:
Balcony
Opening the door you were met with a gust of wind blowing right at your face. Nonchalantly, you reached the edge of the building looking down at the ground. Solid enough.
"Mom, Dad, your boy's coming home!" You shouting diving to the ground. As you were falling to your death you felt the huge weight come off your shoulders not having to worry about anything anymore. Today is Game Over for you.
Seeing the ground a few feet below, you braced yourself when you heard a voice.
"Darling Stop!" The sound of the wind came to an erupt stop for you.
'It's done'
