Chapter 1: First Impression

October

Canterlot City 8:00 AM

It’s been a year since the events of Fall Formal at Canterlot High. Now, everything is fine around the school and the students are excited about the upcoming musical showcase that’s happening in two days.

...

...

Outside of the school, a roaring green mustang with black stripes on each side of the car and a blazing yin-yang insignia on the hood came by, driving around the city heading towards the school. Once the car was parked on the nearest free spot, the driver stepped out of the car and headed towards the main foyer. The driver revealed to be a young, teenage boy with light brown skin, dark brown eyes, and black hair. He wore eyeglasses, a silver hoodie jacket, silver sneakers, black jeans, black fingerless gloves and a green shirt with the same symbol just like the hood of his car. And he is called, “Beryl Fury.”

Canterlot High School Hallways 8:15 AM

Beryl went inside the school to get to his locker. As he walked around the hallways to get to his locker, he waved and greeted the students and teachers. Two minutes later, he found my locker and went to unlock it. Once that was done, he proceeded to grabbing his notebook and textbook for his first class. After that, he continued walking down the hallways, until he heard a voice behind him coming from around the corner of the hallways. He decided to check it out for himself and continued walking down the hallways and found something that caught his eyes. Three punks named The Diamond Dogs were circling around Rarity. He carefully spied on them without any one of them noticing. The Diamond Dogs were getting closer to Rarity and cornering her against the lockers.

Beryl Fury (in thoughts): What are they doing to her?

Spot: C’mon babe, why don’t we ditch this place and hang out with us?

Rover: Yeah. After all, we helped you carry that piano to the music room and then all the way back right from where we started.

Fido: And right now, I think it’s time for you to repay us.

Rarity: *shuns* Hmph. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Spot: Don’t lie to us, we know that you’re backing out on us again.

The Diamond Dogs: *walks closer to Rarity*.

Rarity: *yells* Ugh! Get away from me you filthy animals.” *slaps Spot in the face*

Rover and Fido: *grabs and slams Rarity against the lockers*

Spot: We tried to this the nice way, but now, we’re going to do his the hard way.

Beryl Fury: (in thoughts): Okay, I think I’ve seen enough from these three *steps in and run towards them*

As the Diamond Dogs were ready to do something horrible to Rarity, he stepped in and ran up to the trio.

Beryl Fury: *growls* Hey! Leave her alone you big stooges!

The Diamond Dogs: *turns around to see an angered Beryl Fury*

Rover: *angrily asks*Who are you calling us stooges?!

Fido: *yells* We’re the Diamond Dogs!

Spot: And we do whatever we-

Beryl Fury: *interrupts Spot* It doesn’t matter what you guys do! You three punks don’t run this place like it’s your yard, it doesn’t work like that. I suggest you three better leave or else.

Spot: Ooooooooh... scary.... and what are you going to do about it Four-Eyes?

The Diamond Dogs: *laughs at Beryl*

Beryl Fury: *He takes off his glasses, places it inside his right pocket of his jacket, and drops his backpack right next to the lockers*

Beryl Fury: You dawgs want to fight? Go ahead, take your best shot.

Rarity: *gasps*

Spot: *laughs* Oh, you just dug your own grave nerd. Boys, take care of him.

Rover and Fido: *cracks their knuckles*

Rover: No problem boss.

Fido: Don’t worry, we got this covered.

Beryl Fury: *gets into a fighting stance and focuses on both Rover and Fido*

Rover: *charges first and throws a punch right at him*

Beryl Fury: *dodges the punch and roundhouse kicks him in the back of his head*

BAM!

Rover: Gah!.

Fido: *throws a punch at him from behind*

Rarity: *yells* Watch out!

Beryl Fury: *dodges the punch and punches him in the gut*

POW!

Fido: Oof!

Beryl Fury: *kicks him in the face*

Fido: Gah!

Both of them fell in pain and Beryl took care of them with no sweat. Spot and Rarity widened their eyes and dropped their jaws after they witnessed all of the action. They couldn’t believe that I knocked Rover and Fido out so fast. I turned around from behind and focused on Spot to give him an icy, cold stare.

Beryl Fury: *looks at Spot* Do you want to be next, chihuahua?

Spot: *becomes scared, releases Rarity from his grasp and rushes towards his goons*

Spot: *yells* This ain’t over yet nerd. You may have won this battle, but the war’s not over yet. We’ll get you next time!

Beryl Fury: And I’ll be waiting for all three of you to get your asses kicked.

The Diamond Dogs: *runs away from the scene*

Beryl Fury : *picks up his backpack and glasses afterwards* *checks on Rarity*

Beryl Fury: Are you okay young lady?

Rarity: *dazes in her trance*

Beryl Fury: *snaps his fingers twice*

Rarity: *snaps out of her trance and shakes her head* What? Oh...um, y-yes.

Beryl Fury: Don’t worry, I’m not going to hurt you. You’re safe now. You can go back to your class now.

Beryl Fury: *feels a finger tapping on his shoulder* *turns around and sees Rarity smiling*

Rarity: I personally want to say thank you for saving me back there. I can’t imagine what will happen to me next...if you didn’t show up darling.

Beryl Fury: *blushes*

Beryl Fury: Umm, you’re welcome young lady. I did this because I don’t like bullies who can do whatever they want. And I won’t sit by and let anyone hurt you or other innocent people.

Rarity: Well, I’m very grateful for that. So once again, thank you darling. *slightly blushes red*

She then gave him a big hug to me as a sign of friendship. I hugged her back. After that, it was over.

Beryl Fury: So, why were those guys cornering you like vultures anyways? I’m sure they have names.

Rarity: *frowns* Those three were, Spot, Rover, and Fido. They have been trying to hit on girls, especially me the most for quite some time and it’s getting on my nerves.

Beryl Fury: I’m sorry to hear about that."

Rarity: It’s alright dear, I’ll be okay... thanks to you. *winks at Beryl and softly punches Beryl in the arm*

Beryl Fury: Good. I’m sure they won’t bother you again... but, I have a feeling that they might come back. If the Diamond Dogs or other punks who try to do that to you or anyone else again, call me and I’ll take care of them for you." *clenches his fists*

Rarity: Will do darling. Although, I suppose we haven’t met before, can you tell me your name please?

Beryl Fury: Oh, right. Where are my manners? My name is Beryl Fury. *offers her a handshake*

Rarity: Pleasure to meet you Mr. Fury. My name’s Rarity.

Beryl Fury & Rarity: *shakes each other’s hands*

Beryl Fury: Rarity huh? That’s a beautiful name for a girl like you.

Rarity: *blushes deeply red* Umm... thank you. No boy has ever complimented my name like that before. *looks at Beryl's clothes*

Rarity complimented, "And I must say, your clothes looked stylish on you."

Beryl Fury: *blushes* Uhhh... thanks. I can say the same thing to you, they look gorgeous on you.

Rarity: *blushes* Aww, thank you Barry dear."

Beryl Fury: Barry? My name’s Beryl, not Barry.

Rarity: Yes, but I want to give you a nickname so that it will be much easier for me to say. You don’t mind if I call you “Barry” do you? *seductively smiles at Beryl with her alluring eyes.*

Beryl Fury (in thoughts): *blushes* I never thought of giving myself another nickname before. I always go with the “Dragon Warrior”, but i’ll take this new one.

Beryl Fury: Uhhh...I don’t mind at all. In fact, I think that nickname suits me very well.

Rarity: Well, I’m glad you liked it darling. *winks at Beryl*

Beryl Fury: *blushes and smiles as he scratches the back of his head*

Beryl Fury: * grabs his phone*

It was five minutes until first class.

Beryl Fury: Say uhhh... I gotta go to class now, Flash is waiting for me. I’ll see you later.

Rarity: *grabs Beryl’s wrist* Wait. Before you go, can you be a gentleman and walk with me to my class please~?" *gives him the pouty face*

He couldn’t resist it. It was too cute as he saw her face. Beryl bit his lip and thought about the generous offer from her. Rarity will be vulnerable to other punks that will try to get to her just like the Diamond Dogs. He’s got no other options left, so he went with the flow and decided to escort her to class.

Beryl Fury: *chuckles* Okay Ms. Rarity, if you say so.

Rarity: *smiles* Perfect. Let’s go!

Beryl Fury & Rarity: *walking in the hallways together*

Two minutes later...

We both made it just in time as students were heading towards their respective classes.

Rarity: *stops walking and looks at Beryl* Well, I guess this is it. Thank you so much for taking me to my class Barry.

Beryl Fury: No problem, it’s the least I can do for a friend like you.

Rarity: *coos* Aww, you’re so sweet darling. Anyways, au revoir Barry.

Beryl Fury: I’ll see you later as well Rarity.

As Rarity was heading closer to her class, she had no idea that there was a banana peel lying on the floor. Before I went the opposite way to get to his class, I noticed the banana peel that Rarity was about to step on. I dropped my backpack and rushed through the hallways to warn her.

Beryl Fury: *runs* Wait! Rarity, watch out!

Rarity: *turns her head* Huh?

It was too late. In slow motion, Rarity stepped on the banana peel and she was ready to fall. On the other hand, I was almost inches away to save Rarity. Then, it happened. Fury caught Rarity just in a split second before falling on the floor. We both looked into each other’s eyes and blushed heavily. It felt like I stepped in another world full of beauty and vice. Thus, another moment was born between them.

After that, I helped Rarity stood up they both separately brushed themselves off.

Beryl Fury: Well... that came out of nowhere. *scratches the back of his head*

Rarity: I know right? Whoever left that banana peel on the floor has no manners how to pick up and throw away trash.

Beryl Fury: Yeah, tell me about it.

Beryl Fury & Rarity: *laughs*

*the one minute warning school bell rang*

Beryl Fury: Oh snap! I gotta go now, but it was nice meeting you and all. I’ll see you later.

Rarity: Okay Barry, I’ll see you later too.

And there he goes, Rarity watched as I went to grab my backpack and pick up the banana peel. I threw the banana peel away to the nearest trash can and rushed towards my first class. After that, Rarity headed towards Ms. Matilda’s class and sat right between Applejack and Fluttershy. Behind them were Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

Rarity: Hello ladies!

Her friends (Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy & Pinkie Pie): Hi Rarity!

Rainbow Dash: You were almost late, what happened?!

Rarity: I’ll explain everything when we go to lunch.

Applejack: *looks at her friends and shrugs* Alright, if ya say so.

Rarity *starts thinking about Beryl and the events that happened this morning*

Rainbow Dash: What’s up with her?

Applejack: Ah don’t know.

Fluttershy: I hope she’s alright.

Pinkie Pie: *cheers* Well, whatever it is, she must be thinking about something really happy!

Applejack: I hope you're right.

*school bell rings*

Ms. Matilda: Alright class, no more free time and let’s get down to business.

Everyone: *looks at Ms. Matilda*

All eyes are now on locked and centered on Ms. Matilda as the first class of school is now in session.

Chapter 2: Meeting the Rainbooms

Tuesday 12:15 PM Cafeteria

It’s lunchtime!

The students including the Humane Six were sitting on the table, eating lunch while listening to Rarity’s story about the boy she met earlier this morning. It took them a while to understand her story. Applejack, Fluttershy, and Sunset Shimmer were listening, but Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were either texting or playing games on their phones throughout the story.

Applejack: So let me get this straight, a boy just saved you from the Diamond Dogs this morning?

Rarity: Yes.

Fluttershy: Does he have a name?

Rarity: Yes dear. His name is Beryl Fury.

Rainbow Dash: Wow, that is an awesome name for a guy like him.

Sunset Shimmer: So, what’s he like?

Rarity: *blushes* He seems pretty nice. Not fancy at all, but I don’t mind.

Rainbow Dash: Is he as awesome as I am?

Rarity: Well, that is pretty quite a rude accusation Miss Rainbow Dash, but I don’t know, that’s up to him.

Pinkie Pie: Does he wear eyeglasses, gloves, a silver jacket, black jeans, silver shoes, and a yin-yang with gems on his t-shirt?

Rarity: Yes Pinkie. *her eyes went wide* Wait a minute, how do you know what he wore? You haven’t even met him before.

Pinkie Pie: Oh, I saw him talking to Flash Sentry and his friends.

The girls went to look at Flash’s table. Pinkie Pie was correct, Beryl is sitting with Flash Sentry and his friends, Brawly Beats and Ringo. It was far away between the Rainbooms’ table and Flash’s table. Rarity became delighted as she saw Beryl in the cafeteria.

Rarity: Hmm... Maybe I should go over there and talk to him more. *starts to stand up*

Applejack: *stops her by grabbing her shoulder* Now hold your horses Rarity, I want to thank him first." Applejack said.

Rainbow Dash: I want to thank him as well.

Fluttershy: Me too.

Pinkie Pie: *cheers* Me three!

Sunset Shimmer: In fact, we all want to thank him for saving your skin earlier. Can you ask him if he can come over here and talk to us please?

Rarity: I’m not sure dear, he seems pretty busy hanging out with his friends.

Sunset Shimmer: I understand Rarity, but it will only take a couple of minutes, please?

Rarity: *sighs* Alright. If you say so. *stands up and leaves the table to walk to Flash’s table*

The Rainbooms: *snickers and gives “high fives” to each other*

Flash and his pals were talking about the upcoming musical showcase.

Flash: *cheers* Woo! Are you guys ready for the musical showcase?

Brawly Beats: Yeah man, I’m so fired up.

Ringo: Me too.

Flash and his bandmates looked at Beryl as if he didn’t pay any attention at all and continued to eat his lunch. Beryl was still dreaming about that girl that she saved earlier, Rarity. It feels like Beryl hasn’t seen a girl so beautiful in his life before. Flash still didn’t hear a response from him, so he decided to snap his fingers to get Beryl’s attention.

Flash Sentry: *snaps his fingers multiple times* Yo! Beryl! You still with us?

Beryl Fury: *shakes hus head and snaps out of trance* Uhh... What?

Flash and his friends: *raises their eyebrows*

Beryl Fury: Oh. You said about how I’m feeling about the musical showcase?

Flash and his friends: Yes.

Beryl Fury: Well, I’m excited as well, but a little nervous that’s all. This is my first time participating in this so-called “musical showcase.”

Flash Sentry: It’s alright dude, I understand. Another thing, is there something bothering you right now?"

Beryl Fury: *goes wide-eyed* What? No, that’s completely preposterous! I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Flash Sentry: Well then, how do you explain this?

He took out his phone out and showed Beryl and the guys the footage. The footage showed Beryl the scene that happened earlier between him, Rarity, and the Diamond Dogs. Beryl’s eyes went wide after he saw the whole thing, but he did not know that Flash recorded the whole thing.

Beryl Fury: *gasps*, How did you—

Flash Sentry: While I was heading towards Mr. Doodle’s class, I heard some commotion coming on around the hallways, so I came by to check it out.

Beryl Fury: *facepalms*

Flash Sentry: Don’t worry about it, the boys and I aren’t going to tell anyone about this. This will only be our secret between us bros. Okay?

Beryl Fury: *sighs* Okay. I’ll let this one slide for now, but please don’t do that again.

Flash Sentry: Will do. *deletes the footage on his phone*

Ringo asked, "So does this mean you gotta crush on Rarity after that incident?

Beryl Fury: *closes his eyes and crossed his arms* No, that’s not true. We’re just friends, that’s all.

Brawly Beats: Just admit it dude, you finally got yourself an admirer.

Flash Sentry: Hey, easy there Brawly. No need to push some buttons on our friend here. It’ll take some time. *sees Rarity coming by*

Flash Sentry: Oh by the way, here she comes.

Beryl Fury: *still closes his eyes and crosses his arms* Pfft, you’re bluffing.

Flash Sentry: Really, then why is she standing right behind you?

Beryl Fury: I’m not falling for that trick you guys.

Rarity: *hugs Beryl from behind* Why Hello Barry."

Beryl Fury *gasps and stands up as he uncrosses his arms and opens his eyes* *turns around to see Rarity giggling*

Rarity: *giggles*

Flash and his friends: *laughs*

Beryl Fury: Geez, you almost gave me a heart attack.

Rarity: Sorry darling, I couldn’t resist.

Beryl Fury: You sure are full of surprises.

Rarity: Technically yes.

Beryl Fury: *blushes and scratches the back of his head* So um... what brings you here?

Rarity: Well, I was wondering if you can meet my friends for a couple of minutes please? *sees Flash and his pals* You boys don’t mind if I borrow him for a couple of minutes?

Flash Sentry: Oh sure, go ahead.

Brawly Beats & Ringo: *nods*

Rarity: Thanks guys. C’mon Barry dear, don’t be shy~

Beryl Fury: Hold on a second.

Before he can walk with his new friend, he sat with Flash and his pals again for a little chat.

Beryl Fury: Guys, what are you doing?!

Flash Sentry: Look, I know that you’re nervous about this situation. On the other hand, you weren’t nervous when Rarity’s around you.

Beryl Fury: *blushes* That’s completely different!

Flash Sentry: I understand Beryl, but you can’t be talking to guys like us for the rest of your life. You need to learn how to chat and mingle with girls, that way, they’ll start to like you and you don’t have to be scared around them anymore.

Beryl Fury: *looks over at Rarity*

Rarity: *smiles*

Beryl Fury: *looks back at his friends*

Beryl Fury: Are you sure about this?

Flash Sentry: Trust me dude. They won’t bite you, I promise.

Beryl Fury: *sighs* Ok, if you say so.

Flash Sentry: Alright dude, go get them. *pats Beryl’s back*

Beryl Fury: *stands up and leaves the table*

Flash and his friends: *snickers and gives each other high fives*

Beryl & Rarity walked towards to her table where her friends sit. He starts to get anxious as he looked at her friends.

Beryl Fury: *bows to them* Namaste, friends of Rarity. My name is Beryl Fury.

One by one, the girls greeted him as well.

Sunset Shimmer: Hey there.

Pinkie Pie: Hi Beryl!

Applejack: Howdy.

Rainbow Dash: S’up.

Fluttershy: *speaks in a soft voice* Hi.

Sunset Shimmer: So, you must be the guy who saved our friend, are you?

Beryl Fury: Y-yes. Yes I am.

Applejack: Do ya mind if you can sit with us partner?

Beryl Fury: Umm, sure.

He and Rarity then sat down with the girls.

Beryl Fury: So... what are your names?

Sunset Shimmer: My name’s Sunset Shimmer. *offers him a handshake*

Beryl Fury: *shakes her hand* Yeah I’ve heard about you. You’re the one who caused trouble back at Fall Formal right?

Sunset Shimmer: *blushes* Yeah... I’m trying to fit in and learn from my mistakes. So we’re cool?

Beryl Fury: Maybe.

Applejack: The name’s Applejack. *offers him a handshake*

Beryl Fury: *shakes her hand* Nice to meet you Applejack, Mr. Fury.

Rainbow Dash: My name’s Rainbow Dash, the best athlete and leader of the Rainbooms.

The rest of the girls: *facepalms and groans*

Applejack: Do ya really have to do that Rainbow?

Rainbow Dash: What? I gotta make an awesome impression you know.

Beryl Fury: *chuckles* It’s alright. I get it that you’re awesome Skittles, I don’t need to know that.

Rainbow Dash *blushes* Heh heh, right.*

Beryl Fury & Rainbow Dash: *fist bumps*

Pinkie Pie: *shakes his hand really fast* Hi! My name is Pinkie Pie. What are your hobbies? Do you have a Mom, Dad, brother or sister? Do you have a pet? When did you learn how to fight? Do you love parties? I love parties! Do you love sweets? I love sweets! Do you—

Sunset Shimmer: *stops the handshake* Okay Pinkie, relax. No need to ask him a lot of questions in one sentence.

Rarity: *looks at Beryl* Sorry about that, she does that to new people around here.

Beryl Fury: *shakes his head* No worries, you’re good.

Beryl Fury: *looks at Fluttershy*

Fluttershy: *hides her face behind her hair*

“Beryl Fury: What about you? What’s your name?

Fluttershy: *speaks in a soft voice* Me? Umm... my name?

Beryl Fury: *nods* Mmhm. Don’t worry, I’m not going to hurt you.

Fluttershy: *answered softly* It’s Fluttershy.

Beryl Fury: I’m sorry. Can you speak up a little louder please?

Fluttershy: *answers a little bit louder* It’s Fluttershy.

Beryl Fury: Fluttershy huh? Well, it’s nice to meet you Ms. Fluttershy. *smiles and offers her a handshake*

Fluttershy: *shakes his hand and smiles back at him*

Sunset Shimmer: And you already know our friend here, Miss—

Beryl Fury: Rarity. Yes, I’ve met her earlier this morning after handling off a bunch of bullies.

Sunset Shimmer: Well that’s good to hear. We just want to say thank you for saving our friend back there.

Beryl Fury: No problem girls, it’s the least thing I can do for a friend.

Beryl Fury: Great! Now can you tell us about yourself please Barry?

The rest of the girls: “Barry?”

Beryl Fury: Yeah...it’s a new nickname that she calls me now.

Fluttershy: Oh, okay.

Beryl Fury: *stutters* Anyways, umm........... I uhhh..........

Sunset Shimmer: Don’t worry Barry, take your time.

Beryl Fury: Well... whenever I’m not practicing martial arts, I sometimes practice the guitar and I usually do tutoring after school on Wednesdays & Thursdays.

Rainbow Dash: Oh that’s cool, but when did you learn how to fight with those sick moves of yours?

Beryl Fury: Well... when I was little, I started to learn the ways of martial arts. As time passes by, my sensei taught me some more moves and wisdom. I will always use his wisdom to teach a new generation of warriors who have the will and strength to fight and stand up for not just themselves, but to anyone as well. My sensei always told me to use my skills to defend myself including anyone around me, but not for violence. He was a great teacher back then and I’ll never forget him.”

Applejack: Well Ah’m glad your master taught you very well back then.

Beryl Fury: He sure did.

Rainbow Dash: That’s awesome, but can I ask you something?

Beryl Fury: Sure, what is it?

Rainbow Dash: Are you as awesome as I am?

The rest of the girls: *groans*

Beryl Fury: *shrugs* Meh. I don’t usually care about that.

Rainbow Dash: Oh, okay then. That’s fine by me.

Sunset Shimmer: Do you have any parents and siblings?

Beryl Fury: *takes a deep breath* Unfortunately... no. I don’t have any siblings, and my parents passed away after we moved here during the summer. *starts to feel sad and puts his head down*

The Rainbooms: *gasps*

Applejack: *takes her hat off and placed it on her heart *Gosh partn’r, I’m so sorry to hear about that.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah man, that’s tough.

Pinkie Pie: That is just really, really, really sad.

Beryl Fury: I was the only one left to survive. It was tough for me to get through these days. Now, I’m just living with another family now. I sure wish I get the chance to see and spend time with my parents one last time again.

The girls were so sad about what happened to him before he came to Canterlot High. Rarity hugged him and Beryl returned the embrace to cheer him up.

The Rainbooms: *coos* Awwwww.

Rarity: *hugs him* Shhhhh... it’s okay darling. Everything’s going to be alright.

Sunset Shimmer: You’ve got us, plus your cousin, aunt and uncle. They’ll be there for you. We’ll be there for you too.

Beryl Fury: *sniffles* Really? You girls want to be friends with me?

The Rainbooms: *smiles and nods* Mmhmm.

Rarity: *gives him a tissue*

Beryl Fury: *takes the tissue and wipes the tears off* Wow, umm... thank you. Thank you all for your sympathy.

The Rainbooms: *smiles and nods*

*the school bell rings*

*students begin to leave the cafeteria*

Beryl Fury: Well... it was nice meeting you ladies. I’ll see you girls around. *stands up and leaves*

The Rainbooms: *waves* Bye.

Beryl Fury: *waves back and walks away*

Rarity: *grabs his wrist* Um Barry, before you go. Take this. *hands him a small piece of paper*

Beryl Fury: What’s this?

Rarity: Oh you figure out soon Barry. *winks at Beryl*

Beryl Fury: *blushes*

Rarity: Anyways dear, I’ll see you later.

Beryl Fury & Rarity: *gives each other a hug*

Beryl Fury: Yeah... I’ll see you later too. Take care.

Rarity: *waves* You too Barry.

Beryl then ran off to catch up with Flash and his pals for their next class. After that, Rarity walked with her friends to their next respective classes. Applejack and Sunset Shimmer began chatting about what’s going on with their friend.

Applejack: Ah don’t know if ya haven’t noticed but, have ya seen the way Rarity’s looking at Barry earlier?

Sunset Shimmer: No, why?

Applejack: Well the way Ah looked at her, she hugged him real tight when Barry cried.”

Sunset Shimmer: Well the way I see it, I think Rarity’s in love with our new friend.

Applejack: Ya think so? Ah’m not sure if we can trust our new friend.

Sunset Shimmer: Don’t worry about him, he’ll be fine AJ. It’ll take some time to get along with him and maybe... he can uhh... confess his feelings to Rarity.

Applejack *chuckles* Ah hope so.

2:00 PM

Students began to leave the school and talked about their plans after school after the bell rang.

Beryl got into his car and placed his backpack on the front seat right next to him. After that, he then picked up the small folded paper from his jacket pocket that Rarity gave him. He then unfolded and began to read it. The paper revealed to be the phone numbers of his new friends, the Rainbooms.

Beryl Fury: *chuckles and nods* Okay.

He then started adding the girls’ phone numbers on his phone. After that, he went to start the car and checked to see if any students were blocking the road. Once it was clear, he then drove his car and went straight home to get some rest

Chapter 3: Forgive & Forget

Friday Hallways 9:30 AM

Twilight Sparkle: I don’t think we should use the classroom.

As Twilight and the girls walked through the hallways figuring out their next plan, Twilight accidentally bumped into Flash without even noticing. She blushed and giggled after embarrassing herself in front of Flash’s band, and her friends.

Twilight Sparkle: We really need to stop bumping into each other like this.”

Right behind him was Beryl and his band, leaning idly against the lockers, and Flash issued them as if the girls were invisible.

Flash Sentry: Uh, you guys hear something?

Brawly Beats: Uh-uh.

Ringo: Uh, nope.

Beryl didn’t answer to Flash as my face turned to worry and decided to follow along with the situation that’s happening.

Twilight Sparkle: I said, *raises her voice a little higher* We have to stop—

Flash Sentry: *interrupts her* There it is again! So annoying.

Twilight Sparkle: Why are you acting like this? I thought we were friends.

Flash Sentry: Yeah, and then you decide to come back here just so you can beat me in the Battle of the Bands. I want this, Twilight, and you’re trying to take it from me! Some friend.

Beryl Fury (in thoughts): Why would he say something like that to my new friends.

Twilight Sparkle: That’s not why—

Applejack: *interrupts Twilight by placing her hand on her shoulder* Come on Twilight. We’ve got better things to do right now.

Throughout the conversation, Rarity can tell that Beryl felt worried and he was in a difficult situation as she saw him. Deep down inside of him, he refused to say anything because he’s a good person and worried about the friendship between them.

Rarity (in thoughts): *feels sad* Oh Barry, you poor guy, I wish there’s something I can do to cheer you up. However, my friends needed me first. Please don’t give up on me Barry.” *feels a small, single tear on her face*

After that, Flash saw the girls storming out of the situation, heading towards the band room. He then called out to Twilight.

Flash Sentry: You really think you’re gonna help them? Heh! I bet you have no idea what you’re even doing!

Twilight Sparkle: *starts crying and walks away with her friends after getting struck by Flash’s words*

Beryl Fury: Flash, we need to talk now.

Flash Sentry: Beryl, can we save it until the Battle of the Bands is over? Now’s not the time.

Beryl Fury: Flash, can we just—

Flash Sentry: I SAID NOT NOW!!

Beryl Fury: *sighs* Ugh, fine.

The boys walked away and headed towards the gym to practice.

Beryl Fury (in thoughts): This is wrong, Flash has gone way off the deep end after what I just witnessed. I’m going to have to talk to him again when this competition is over.

3:20 PM

Flash Drive exited out of the gym, feeling angry about the results of the tournament. However, I wasn’t angry about it, I was just satisfied with the results that we didn’t make it to the finals. We went outside of the back entrance of the school to cool off our steam of anger and disappointment.

Beryl Fury: Alright, can we talk now?

Flash Sentry: Sure, what is it?

Beryl Fury: *angrily yells at Flash* What the heck were you thinking Flash?! How could you say that to those girls like that?! They were our friends back there, what’s your deal man?!

Flash Sentry: Oh now where at this again? I thought you heard me clear that they were in our way. We want to win this, Beryl.

Beryl Fury: Really? That’s what this is about? Is this how you treat your friends? Did you forget that they were our friends back there? What did they ever do to you man?! This is not what I signed up for Flash. This is why we are a band for a reason. Music is about bringing people together, not tearing each other apart. And if we win or lose, we’re always going to stick together no matter what. I thought we were friends.

Flash Sentry: Barry... we are friends, but... it’s just—

Beryl Fury: *tears start to form* You know what, screw this. If you can’t see it that way, then... as of now... I’m officially out of the band.

The boys: *gasps*

After what they had just heard from their bandmate, he walked away and headed towards his car.

Flash Sentry: What?

Brawly Beats: Dude, you’re leaving us?

Ringo: Why do you want to do that?

Beryl Fury: *stops walking and turns around to see Flash* One more thing, if any of you dare try following me around, I will break you so hard that you will never be able to walk again.

Flash stepped back and gulped nervously about the threat that I just said.

He got in and shut the door to start the engines. The boys watched the engines of his car running and he drove off to head home, leaving his former bandmates behind.

Ringo: Flash, what do we do now?

Flash Sentry: Ugh, just leave him be. He’ll come back someday when he’s ready.

Brawly Beats: I hope so.

Saturday Outdoor Amphitheater 9:00 AM

The Rainbooms and Vinyl Scratch were practicing their instruments to perform their next song, while Sunset writes a letter to Princess Twilight Sparkle.

After a few minutes of writing her letter, Sunset closes the book and turns to her friends to perform their next song.

Rainbow Dash: You ready or what?

Sunset Shimmer: *runs upstage quickly and grabbed her guitar to perform their next song* Ready.

FEW MINUTES LATER...

After performing their song, the girls got off the stage and packed their stuff up. Before they head home, they heard a car coming by, it was Beryl’s. After he parked his car, he stepped out and walked towards the amphitheater to speak with the girls.

Beryl Fury: Hey there. Look, I'm sorry that my band got angry at you. The reason why I didn't want to say anything bad to you girls back at the hallways yesterday is because I fear that you would give up on being friends with me. It felt like I've been under some sort of spell and it was scary. But whatever it was, it's gone. Once again, I'm sorry.

Beryl Fury: *puts his head down in shame and walks away*

Rarity: *grabs Beryl’s wrist* Wait! Don't go. We understand how you feel and we forgive you. You're our friend darling, we would never say something like that.

Pinkie Pie: Yeah! It was just some freaky Equestrian magic stuff that’s been going on around the musical showcase.

Beryl Fury: I’m sorry, what did you just say?

Pinkie Pie: I said that—

Sunset Shimmer: *covers Pinkie’s mouth* Never mind about that, you’ll understand someday.

Beryl Fury: *shrugs* Hmph... okay. But um... do you mind if I play a song?

Applejack: Why do ya want to do that?

Beryl Fury: Because I want to set things right and I want to make it up to you girls. Besides, you haven't heard me singing solo before.

Rainbow Dash: *thinks first for a few minutes* You do have a point there Barry, but alright. Let's see what you got dude.

Beryl Fury: Excellent, but let me grab my instrument first.

Fluttershy: Okay.

Beryl ran to his car and opened the trunk to grab his instrument, the ukulele. Once I closed the trunk and locked my car, I ran up on stage and grabbed a stool to get myself prepared as I closed his eyes and got into position. The girls took their seats, waiting to see what I can do.

Beryl Fury (in thoughts): Okay Beryl, don't screw this up. Just go with the flow and show them what you got. *takes a deep breath and opens his eyes to perform his song*

The Rainbooms: *smiles at Beryl*

Rarity: Take your time Barry.

Beryl Fury: *nods and gives Vinyl Scratch the signal to start the song for the girls*

*plays song: Over The Rainbow*

Throughout the song, the girls swayed their heads and clapped their hands as they followed the beat of my song. They enjoyed the sound of my singing voice and I never had a hard time choking it up. Every time I smiled and made eye contact at Rarity, she blushed every time as well.

The girls applauded and wooed at me for my performance. I bowed at them to close my performance and got off the stage to meet with the girls.

Rainbow Dash: That. Was. Awesome.

Applejack: Yee’haw! That was good Beryl. *gives him a thumbs up*

Rarity: That was a lovely performance darling, I didn’t know you have such a lovely voice right there.

Beryl Fury: *blushes* Um, thank you girls. I appreciate it.

Sunset Shimmer: Say Barry, do you want to come with us all the mall? I’m sure you’ll be all alone after you gave us a splendid performance there.

Beryl Fury: No, in fact, I’m heading to Flash’s house to... do something.

Flash Sentry: Um... did something happened between you and Flash?

I got worried as well as he looked at the girls’ faces. They had no clue of what he went through yesterday. So I pretended to be happy and smiled at them.

Beryl Fury: Um... nope. I don’t want to talk about it right now, but this is between me and Flash okay? Nothing to worry about.

Applejack: Beryl, you’re a horrible liar. Ah know you’re lying and I can see that you’re worried right now. So can ya tell us what’s going on between you and Flash please?

Beryl Fury: *sighs* Okay, I’ll tell you everything about what happened yesterday.

The girls and I sat down and discussed about the issue between him and Flash. He explained them why he quit and left his band after the Battle of the Bands tournament at school. They were sad that he and Flash argued and ditched his band, but on the bright side, they were happy that I stood up for them. I felt upset that it was all my fault for quitting Flash’s band and I hoped to take it all back, but I wasn’t sure if Flash will consider it. The girls went to comfort me and talked about my situation.

Sunset Shimmer: It’s okay Barry, everyone deserves a second chance.

Beryl Fury: You sure?

Sunset Shimmer: Yes Beryl, take it from me. I know what it’s like to earn a second chance.

Pinkie Pie: Yeah, everyone deserves second chances by putting smiles on their faces!” Pinkie cheered as she smiled.

Beryl Fury: *chuckles* Maybe, but I do need to apologize to Flash so that we can forget about yesterday’s argument and move forward with the band. Besides, I would never give up the friendship between me and Flash. It was just us guys having a small argument, that’s all.

Rarity: Well I’m glad you’re finally understand now darling. So, are you ready to head to the mall now? *stands up*

Beryl Fury: Maybe after I’m done taking care of what I need to do. I’ll let you know when I’m ready. So, thank you girls for comforting my stress. I feel a lot better now.” *stands up*

Rainbow Dash: No problem Beryl, that’s what friends are for.

Fluttershy: And thank you for standing up for us yesterday... without us noticing.

Beryl Fury: No problem girls.

They all get into a group hug and left the amphitheater.

Flash’s house 9:30 AM

Once I arrived at the house and parked my car, I knocked on Flash’s door. Flash immediately opened the door and saw me. Brawly and Ringo were also in his house too.

Beryl Fury: Hi bros, do you mind if I talk with you guys?

Flash Sentry: Yeah, but I do want to apologize about what happened yesterday.

Beryl Fury: And I do want to apologize to you guys too.

Flash Sentry: Well then, come inside and let’s discuss about it.

Beryl Fury: *goes inside and sits down on the couch with his friends*

Flash Sentry: *sits down on the couch*

Beryl Fury: Flash, I’m sorry that I got mad at you and threatened you yesterday. I shouldn’t have said those words and it’s all my fault.

Flash Sentry: I understand bro, and... *sighs* I’m sorry that I got mad at you and the girls, you were right. I should’ve listened to you in the first place.

Beryl Fury: It’s alright Flash, I forgive you.

Flash Sentry: And I forgive you too bro.

They both stood up and gave each other a bro hug and a fist bump.

Ringo: So I guess we’re good here then?

Beryl Fury & Flash Sentry: Yep.

After that, there was another car parked right next to my car.

Beryl Fury: *looks at the window*

The driver stepped out and revealed to be a young man with messy, copper hair. He wore blue jeans, white shoes, and a black hoodie with a white treble clef and music staff with sparkles on it.

Beryl Fury: Um, who’s that?

Flash Sentry: Oh, I forgot to tell you that we’re holding auditions for another band member to increase our ranks. Plus, I already hired Micro Chips as our turntable guy.

Beryl Fury: Hmm, interesting. Are there any more musicians like him to come by?

Flash Sentry: Yeah, they’ll be here shortly.

Beryl Fury: Oh, ok.

Flash Sentry: I’ll meet you guys in the garage, we’ll start the auditions there.

*doorbell rings*

Flash Sentry: *looks through the peephole first and opens the door*

Flash Sentry: Hi there, who are you?

???: My name’s Coppermane, I saw your posters about you guys holding auditions for a new band member. Do you mind if I come in and give it a shot?

Flash Sentry: Sure, come on in.

Coppermane entered and Flash closed the door and led him to his garage to start the auditions. Soon, more musicians arrive at Beryl’s house.

Chapter 4: Hanging Out at Sugarcube Corner

Monday Sugarcube Corner 2:30 PM

As another school day has ended, Beryl decided to drove off to Sugarcube Corner to grab himself a smoothie and chill until he’s ready to leave. He stood in front of the counter to see Mrs. Cake, working as usual.

Mrs. Cake: Hi Beryl, how’s your day today?

Beryl Fury: It’s good, just need to refresh that’s all.” *stretches his back*

Mrs. Cake: Well that’s good to hear. Anyways, what would you like to order?

Beryl Fury: I’ll have the usual as always. One strawberry milkshake please.

Mrs. Cake: Strawberry milkshake coming right up.

Mrs. Cake went to put the strawberries into the blender and poured milk in it. After a couple of minutes of waiting, she gave me the smoothie and in exchange, he gave her three bucks for a smoothie. Once that’s done, he thanked her and went to take his seat on the table. He pulls ha comic book out of his bag and put it on the table to read while drinking his milkshake. As he was enjoying myself, behind him were the Rainbooms as they arrived to hang out as well. They were all chatting and talking about girl stuff and other things. Sometimes, he just don’t understand girls. Some minutes later, while he was focusing on the tablet while drinking my milkshake, Rarity came by and sat across from him.

Rarity: Why hello Barry.

Beryl Fury: Huh? *stops reading and sees Rarity.

Beryl Fury (in thoughts): I wonder what she’s doing here.

Beryl Fury: *stutters* Oh, Rarity. Hi there. I uhh... I didn’t know that you’re coming here. What’s up?

Rarity: I noticed that you were here so I came by to chat with you.

Beryl Fury: Okay. I’m guessing that your friends put you up to this, right?

Rarity: *bluffs* What? Pfft, no, they would never do that to me.

The Rainbooms: *sighs* Phew.

Beryl Fury: Well then, what is it?

Rarity: I was wondering if you can tell me more about yourself Barry, darling.

Beryl Fury: I was thinking the same thing and I want to learn more about you, your friends, and your family.

Rarity: Really? That sounds fabulous. Two minds think alike. Right?

Beryl Fury: Yeah, exactly.

Beryl Fury & Rarity: *chuckles*

Rarity: Well I’m glad that we both can agreed on something.

Beryl Fury: *nods*

Rarity: So Barry, where does your dad work at?

Beryl Fury: Well, my dad works as a professional wrestler. He’s traveling around the world wrestling other competitiors and he calls himself, “The Majestic Prince of Pain.”

Rarity: Oh, that sounds interesting. However, I’m not a fan of sports that involves violence.

Beryl Fury: It’s alright Rarity, I understand.

Rarity: Your brother?

Beryl Fury: Now for my little brother, he is the little troublemaker of my family.

Rarity: That’s nice. Rainbow works at that place too.

Beryl Fury: *smiles* Really?

Rarity: *nods* Mmhmm.

Beryl Fury: That’s awesome.

Rarity: Do you have a sister?

Beryl Fury: No.

Rarity: Okay then, ho

Beryl Fury: As for my mom, she works at a jewelry store, just a couple of blocks from here. Not only that, whenever she also works in the back of the store to make any kind of jewelry whether if it’s necklaces, earrings, or bracelets. Even though they’re not my parents, but they always take care of me no matter what.

Rarity: Aww, that sounds so sweet. And I’m surprised that your aunt works at the jewelry store. I always go there to look around and buy some jewelry for my fashion work.”

Beryl Fury: Really? I didn’t know that. Tell me more.

Mrs. Cake: Rarity, your drink.

Rarity: Hold on a second, dear. I’ll be right back. *stands up and walks towards the counter to grab her smoothie* *walks back and placed her smoothie on my table right next to Beryl’s smoothie*

Beryl Fury: Vanilla. Nice choice.

Rarity: *giggles* Why thank you Barry. I can say the same thing to yours. It looks very sweet.” *smiles*

Beryl Fury: Thank you. So, shall we continue?

Rarity: Absolutely!

4 HOURS LATER

We spent the next few hours of finishing our smoothies and talking about hobbies and other activities. Rarity told me about her small fashion business. I was interested of what . In fact, while we were busy mingling each other, her friends must have left already. So we just keep on going with conversation.

Beryl Fury: Wow. I didn’t know you work so hard on your dream of being a fashionista from the start since you were little. Is that what the diamonds on your skirt represent?

Rarity: Why yes dear. It represents who I am and what my talents are.

Beryl Fury: That’s understandable. Maybe next time, I can help you promote your business by wearing some clothes that you made.

Rarity: *looks at me and laughs* Oh Barry, that’s very sweet of you. Unfortunately, I don’t specialize in men’s clothing.” I blushed due to embarrassment, but I decided to shrug it off and laughed. “However, that doesn’t mean, down the line of course, I wouldn’t mind making matching outfits for my own outfits. *winks at Beryl right before she looks away and watches outside the window, watching people walk down the streets*

Beryl Fury: *looks at the window too*

The sun was starting to set and we realized that we’ve been here for 4 hours.

Beryl Fury (in thoughts): Wow, that was long.

Rarity : *looks back and sees the place empty except me, Mrs. Cake and herself* *gasps and pouts* Barry, how come you didn’t tell me that it was this late. My friends are at home now and my little sister is very worried right now. I gotta check my messages on my phone if they texted me already. *checks on her phone*

Beryl Fury: I’m sorry, I didn’t know. I just didn’t check the time, that’s all. Please don’t slap me in the face. *shields his face*

Rarity: *giggles* Barry, I was just joking. No need to be so defensive.

Beryl Fury: *chuckles and scratches the back of his head in embarrassment* My bad.

Rarity: *punches my left arm*

Beryl Fury: What was that for?

Rarity: That’s for not telling me.

Beryl Fury (in thoughts): Didn’t expect that one from her

Rarity: Anyways, do you mind if I get a ride with you darling?

Beryl Fury: Sure, but just don’t touch anything in my car.

Rarity: Will do Barry.

They threw their smoothies away, grabbed our stuff and waved goodbye to Mrs. Cake as she was ready to flip the sign to “close” for the cafe.

Beryl Fury: *opens the passenger door for Rarity*

Rarity: Thank you Barry, you’re such a good gentleman you know?

Beryl Fury: Yes Rarity, my parents always remind me about that. *closes the door for her and walks to the driver side door* *opens the door, gets inside and closes the door*.

Once he got inside, he started the car and drove around the streets to Rarity’s house.

5 MINUTES LATER

Beryl Fury: *checks both sides of the road* *parks right beside her house*

Rarity: Thanks for the ride Barry. I hope that we can do this again some time. *winks at Beryl*

Beryl Fury: *blushes* You’re welcome Rarity. Just let me know first and I’ll be there.

Rarity: Excellent. *hugs Beryl*

Beryl Fury: *hugs her back*

Beryl Fury & Rarity: *breaks the hug and smiles at each other*

Rarity: *grabs her bag* See you tomorrow Barry. Good night.

Beryl Fury: Good night Rarity.

Rarity: *opens the passenger door and steps out of the car* *closes the door and walks herself home*

After she entered her home, it was time for me to head back home.

Author's Note

Sorry for the delay, but I’m back with my first story again. In the next chapter, we”re going to skip ahead to... a month later. That’s all.

Chapter 5: Chemistry

Throughout the month, we talked and texted each other through our phones and hung out with our friends. Every time we see each other, it feels like my day just keeps getting better and better. I wasn’t nervous around her anymore. I feel more confident than ever. Maybe Flash was right, I am having a crush on her. No, even better. I’m totally in love with her, but... where do I go from there now?

November

Thursday CHS Library 3:40 PM

After a few study sessions with his other friends, I was sitting on the chair playing his game on his phone and right next to him was his Chemistry textbook on the table. I already texted Rarity that I’m holding a free study session for her Chemistry class tomorrow. Few minutes later, Rarity walked in and waved at me as I heard the door opened and the clicks of her boots.

Rarity: Why hello darling.

Beryl Fury: Hi Rarity. *hugs her*

Rarity: *hugs him back*

Beryl Fury: *releases Rarity* So, ready for your first study session with me?

Rarity: Why absolutely darling! Even though I studied with Sunset and my friends all the time, but I do simply want to try studying with you, if that’s okay?

Beryl Fury: *blushes* Uh... sure. I don’t mind at all. In fact, this is my last one for today.

Rarity: Splendid, then we have no time to waste Barry. Let’s get started.

Beryl Fury: Now that's the spirit, Rarity. Ready when you are.

Over the next fifteen minutes, Rarity and I studied together with their study guides about isotope composition, ions, compounds, and names and formulas of ionic compounds. We also used the textbook to fill out any answers in the study guide. Before we wrap things up within the next five minutes, we went to do a quick review by using flashcards.

Beryl Fury: Okay Rarity, ready for a quick review.”p

Rarity: Yes darling, I’m ready.

Beryl Fury: *holds up the first card that reads “What element has 18 electrons, 18 protons, and 22 neutrons?”

Rarity: Argon.

Beryl Fury: Correct.

Beryl Fury: *holds up another flashcard that reads “How many protons, neutrons and electrons does Silver have?*

Rarity: Silver has... 47 protons, 47 electrons & 60 neutrons.

Beryl Fury: Nice job.

Beryl Fury: *holds up another flashcard that reads, “What has 35 protons, 34 electrons and 44 neutrons?”*

Rarity: The answer is Phosphorus, with a 1+ charge.”p

Beryl Fury: Splendid.

Beryl Fury: *holds up another flashcard that says, “KBr.”

Rarity: I’m guessing that this is... Potassium bromide?

Beryl Fury: Are you sure that’s your final answer?

Rarity: Yes Barry, I’m positively sure that is my final answer.

A few seconds have passed before I gave out a response.

Rarity: *begs him* Well? Spit it out darling? Am I right?

Beryl Fury: That is *smiles* correct. You got ‘em all right.

Rarity: *cheers* Yes! Oh thank you so much for helping me with my study guide.

Beryl Fury: You’re welcome Rarity, I’m sure that you’ll ace this test tomorrow, but take your time. I don’t want you to be rushing and always make sure to double check your answers before you turn your test in.

Rarity: Thank you for the lovely advice darling, I’ll be okay, I promise.

Beryl Fury: I know you do.

Beryl Fury: *looks at the clock in the library*

It was 4:00 PM and Beryl’s tutoring session has ended. They both exited the library and walked together to exit the school.

Rarity: Do you mind if you can take me home Barry, please?

Beryl Fury: *quickly smiles at her* Sure.

Rarity: Wonderful.

They both reached the parking lot and Beryl guided her to his car.

Beryl Fury: *opens the passenger side door for Rarity*

Rarity: Thank you darling, you’re such a gentleman right there.

Beryl Fury: You’re welcome, my lady. *playfully bows to her*

Rarity: *giggles and watches as I walked to the driver's side, and lets out a small squeal*

After that, Beryl started the car and drove away from the school to head straight to Rarity’s house to drop her off. Once that’s done, he drove straight home to get some rest.

THE NEXT DAY 2:00 PM

Another school day has ended and some students began to leave. I went to grab my stuff from my locker to head home. After I closed my locker, I was exiting the hallways until Rarity stopped me in my tracks and showed me the grade on her Chemistry test. It was an A+!

Beryl Fury: Wow! Congratulations Rarity. I’m very proud of you.” *chuckles*

Rarity: *coos* Aww, thank you Barry, I couldn’t have done this with you.” *gives him a big hug*

Beryl Fury: *returns the hug to Rarity*

Beryl Fury: Have a great day Rarity.

As he walked inches away from the main door, Rarity called my name again to ask me something which made me stop.

Rarity: Wait, Barry... can I ask you something?

Beryl Fury: *turns around* Sure, what is it?

Rarity: *blushes and twiddles her fingers* Well... since you helped me with my studies yesterday, can I uhh... can I simply repay you with something?

Beryl Fury: *chuckles* Relax Rarity, I don’t need money to repay me.

Rarity: No, it’s not that.

Beryl Fury: *raises his eyebrow* Okay... and... what do you propose?

She walked towards me like she's walking a runway of a fashion show with her eyes lidded, giving her hips a little extra swing as she gets closer.

Beryl Fury (in thoughts): *blushes* Uhhh... what’s happening here? The atmosphere has suddenly changed now.

Rarity: Well... do you want to go out on a date with me tomorrow night? *seductively smiles at him*

His eyes went wide as he heard that question from Rarity.

Beryl Fury (in thoughts): Am I hearing things right now? Did Rarity gave me a huge generous offer to go out with me... on a real date? This is something that I haven’t experienced in my life before since moving in to Canterlot City. I’m starting to feel butterflies in my stomach now. Is this really happening?

Beryl Fury: Just the two of us alone?

Rarity: *nods* Mmhmm.

His nerves are starting to shake like an earthquake within him. Does he really want to do this? Does he really have feelings for her? So, he thought about it really hard for half a minute. After that, he took a deep breath and answered her question.

Beryl Fury: *blushes* Rarity... it umm... it would be an honor to go out with you on your date tomorrow.

Rarity: *gasps and hugs him in joy* Oh thank you so much! I can’t wait for tomorrow night.

Beryl Fury: *smiles and returns the embrace* What time do you want me to pick you up?

Rarity: Evening dear. I already picked a restaurant to eat for our date tomorrow night.

Beryl Fury: Really?

Rarity: *nods* Mmhmm.

Beryl Fury: That sounds great! I’ll be there.

Rarity: Wonderful! *leans forward and gives Beryl a kiss on the cheek*After that, she leaned forward and gave me a kiss on

Rarity: See you tomorrow Barry. Au revoir.” *winks at him and exits the school with her hips swaying back and forth*

Beryl Fury (in thoughts): Wow. Am I dreaming or something. She just gave me a kiss on the cheek. I’m never washing that cheek ever again.

Five minutes later, he snapped out of my trance and ran straight to his car to head home.

Beryl’s House 10:00 PM

Beryl was now laying on his bed trying to get sone sleep, but he couldn’t stop thinking about what happened earlier today.

Beryl Fury (in thoughts): I couldn’t believe it. She asked me out on a date. I lifted my hand to feel my left cheek. The very same cheek that was touched by Rarity’s sweet lips. It still felt warm. Her lips were so tender and soft. And the way she winked and smiled at me after she kissed him... it was very surprising. I can feel a small burning, fiery feeling inside of me.

His mind was racing with every possible scenario of his date with Rarity tomorrow. It’s mostly conjured up with bad scenarios, making him sweat.

Beryl Fury (in thoughts): What if she didn’t even want to go out with me? What if she decides to stood up for me? What if I just bored her with how lame or stupid he is? What am I going to do? *bits his lip*

Rarity was different from most girls, she was something more than just a pretty face. She was flawless, special and deserved nothing less than perfection. He wanted to give just that to her, but what if he couldn’t?

*phone vibrates*

He nearly jumped out of his skin when his phone vibrated next to him.

Beryl Fury: What the? Who could be calling me in the middle of my sleep? *picks up his phone*

He turned it on and the it was a text message from... Sunset Shimmer?

Beryl Fury ==> Sunset Shimmer, 10:03 PM
Hello?

Sunset Shimmer ==> Beryl Fury, 10:05 PM
S’up Beryl, sorry that I called you so late,
But um... did Rarity asked you out?

Beryl Fury ==> Sunset Shimmer, 10:07 PM
Um, yeah, she did. Is there a problem?
I apologize for saying that 😐

Sunset Shimmer ==> Beryl Fury, 10:10 PM
No need dude. I think it’s nice for you
to treat our friend like a princess. You excited?

Beryl Fury ==> Sunset Shimmer, 10:14 PM
Yes, I’m excited Sunset. What else would you
expect from a guy like me? However, I am pretty
nervous though.

Sunset Shimmer ==> Beryl Fury, 10:17 PM
Why would you be nervous about your first date?
You’re not trying to give up aren’t ya?

Beryl Fury ==> Sunset Shimmer, 10:20 PM
Of course not Sunset, I’m not giving up and I’m not
going to back down on this moment.

Sunset Shimmer ==> Beryl Fury, 10:22 PM
That’s the spirit that I want to see Barry.

Beryl Fury ==> Sunset Shimmer, 10:25 PM
Thank you Sunset. However, I’m just worried
about tomorrow night. What if someone tries to
sabotage our date, what if she thinks I’m boring,
what if I do something that will damage our friendship,
and what am I going to say to her if my confess my feelings
to her? How is she going to react? Does she love me back?

Sunset Shimmer ==> Beryl Fury, 10:30 PM
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Slow your role dude! Don’t ever think
about those things, it will only make your date
worse. So, le

Beryl Fury ==> Sunset Shimmer, 10:33 PM
Really, that’s awesome. Do you mind if I bring my
boys there too? And... is Rarity going to know
what we’re up to tomorrow?

Sunset Shimmer ==> Beryl Fury, 10:36 PM
Sure, we don’t mind. On the other hand, Rarity won’t
even notice what we’re doing tomorrow. I’ll tell Pinkie
Pie about it as well.

Beryl Fury ==> Sunset Shimmer, 10:38 PM
Why do you need to tell her about it?

Sunset Shimmer ==> Beryl Fury, 10:39 PM
She has a way of keeping secrets.

Beryl Fury ==> Sunset Shimmer, 10:40 PM
Okay.

Sunset Shimmer ==> Beryl Fury, 10:42 PM
Don’t worry Barry, this dating class will only take
a while to help you learn how to handle a simple date.

Beryl Fury ==> Sunset Shimmer, 10:44 PM
Alright, that sounds fair.

Sunset Shimmer ==> Beryl Fury, 10:45 PM
Excellent! Good night Barry. 😴

Beryl Fury ==> Sunset Shimmer, 10:46 PM
Good night Sunset. 😴

Beryl turned off his phone and went back to sleep, hoping that he won’t choke up on his date tomorrow night.
