Anew

By sunset, the house was already explored.

Right, so here’s the layout. 2 bedrooms, one small kitchen, two bathrooms, and no back porch. Pretty mediocre if I would say so myself. The entire house was painted in a teal white blue-ish colour scheme, and from the looks of it, it’s horrible. A crime I would consider. But personal preference. So fuck it.

Sunset walks out of her room, wearing a different outfit. Her usual orange shirt, stamped with a sun logo in the middle of it, has been changed with a more fancier skirt, coloured with a combination of red, green and orange. Her hair was more curlier than before, much more than I expected (well, if she does curl her hair). All in all, she was gorgeous. Even though in this hell of a mess living quarters.

“Um, where are you going?” I frankly ask. Gotta be honest, even in my capacitated state, I still have the urge of going out, generally having fun with my ‘friends’.

“A party. One of our schoolmates decided that it was best to do a little get together, in the middle of summer break. Quite the bummer about the date, but c’mon. This might be the most hyped about party yet, apart from Pinkie’s, of course.” She hums in joy and excitement.

“What about me?”

She looks over to me, bewildered. “What about you?”

“I wanna go to. Get the hype.”

“Oh. I...didn’t really think about it.” She softly squealed. Clearly she didn’t think about me.

Touché. Even I didn’t think about her. To be honest, I couldn’t. She grabs her phone, being neatly placed at the table next to her, and starts to do a call. She backs a way for a little, doing a hand wave, signalling her availability in any situation right now. While all of that’s happening, my head only has one request. Just to go. I wanna have fun to. Hell, in what way can I not?

My god, am I a pessimist. Relax. Take a breather. You just might be able to go to your first ever party, and damn will it be enjoyable. But for now, while my fate is still in the balance, the only thing rational to do is wait. Patience is key. You can’t expect to get everything done when you want it, or what exactly you want.

She closes the phone, and walks over to me, in a wide smile and a joyous bright face.

“Seems like somebody’s tagging along.”

“Isn’t that fate, now?” I reply.

“My guess.”

“Now how do I change?”

“Let me help.”

She carries me over to the second floor of the house, the first being the living quarters, kitchen, yaada-yaada-yaada. I open the door to the second room and low behold. I was flabbergasted. The room was equipped with everything, clothing, a small red and blue bed, a brown table, a nice big mirror, and a nightlight. The room was painted in a different colour, much different that the teal white blue. It’s clear full red on the left side, while blue on the right. The wall in front of me is in clear crystal light blue, one many people may perceive as the colour of diamonds. I turn over to Sunset, and asked her.

“Who’s room is this?”

“Yours.”

Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. My room? How can this be my room? And why the hell is the room so vibrant, not like the others? This furniture, this bed, mirror and all, it seems to much to afford. Clearly she didn’t buy this all by herself, did she not?

“You sure ‘bout this?”

“Of course I am. You bought all of this, y’know. It’s not like I did all of this. You did, a while back. But that’s something we can talk later.”

Yeah, sure. Like I have the money to buy all of this. Sure enough, that’s the only solution. Besides, there’s no reason for her to lie. I make my way to the drawers, and picked a nice shirt that suits my taste. I picked a full black shirt, the only exception being the red and blue emblem figured at the shirt itself. The looks is like a geode, round in shape and features carved out details, not to mention a big star at the middle of it. Truly a masterpiece for my eyes. I liked it a lot, and went on with it, picking a pair of light blue jeans as pants.

Of course, this is all before a nice, cold shower. Sure, it was quite the hassle. After all of that was set and done, I take a quick glimpse through the mirror, and low behold. My blue hair and light blue skin, plus the shirt and pants I’ve just worn, I look fantastic. We then waited at the front, sitting at the brown comfy sofas and waited for the others. The 6 others. She says that they will be here by 8, and it’s already 7.50. Almost there. With the time that I have in my hands, I used it and asked some questions.

“Where is this party at?”

“You might not know where it is, but that’s not a problem. This time, we’re not gonna use the small car like last time. Probably going on her parent’s car, since they usually allow her to take it for a spin.”

Well, okay then. That’s one reaction that I wasn’t expecting, like, at all. Then I began looking for morerelevant things to ask about. Let’s see, what do we have. I can ask her about my past friendship with them, but that seems a little bit too enticing to her soft side that she laid upon me very unexpectedly. How about the other girls? What would that bring onto the boredom of silence that we have at the moment?

I think deply about the possible things that can branch out of this topic, and make my choice. It’s not really a harmful thing to waste time on, right? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I slowly and confidently open my mouth, words spewing out with a hint of curiosity inside of my tone and designation of sentence. I have to be brave. If I mess this up, who knows what can happen.

“Tell me more about this little group we have.”

She didn’t take long to respond. In fact, there was no waiting at all. She swiftly began making out baring descriptions of the after mentioned girls.

“We were based on a little known fact all round school. We are possesers of magic, I suppose you can say it that way? It’s all stored in this little geode of ours, based on our different suits and specialties. Y’know, you did have one of these before, too.” She says, as she grabs the necklace and sways it around left to right, bfore tucking it down to her palms.

I glance at my chest, and nothing seems to be dangling around my neck.

“What happened to it?”

“Dunno. Once we found you, the geode was no more. We looked everywhere while Fluttershy took you to the nearest hospital. The only things we found were shards of it. Anyways, these geodes hold unique abilities, and-“

“Wait, wait, wait. Stop right there. Shards?”

“Yeah. They lost their true colour, and we decided to place it in a small jar. I’ll show you it later once the party finishes.”

“Oh.”

“As I was saying, every single one of us, including you, can manipulate this to your liking. I have mind powers, Pinkie has glitter bombs, AJ has god like strength, Rarity can make diamond shields and stuff and Twilight with telekinesis. Fluttershy can talk to animals, making it seem a little bit useless if I were to say so myself, and Rainbow Dash, can...dash. At the speed of light, say. You, on the other hand, we’re not sure. You use to have the ability to cast beams of magic, but now that the geode is destroyed, there’s no advent way of telling.”

“We stuck by this little gang of ours and by time, from enemies, we reconciled into an ever lasting bond.”

“I see.”

Suddenly, a flashing yellow light stops by in front of us, and as the vehicle comes to a sudden stop, the shotgun windows open revealing Pinkie inside.

“What are you all doing here! We got a party to catch!”

Sunset reacts with this with a hint of laughter.

“You don’t sound too mad nor sad about this, Pinkie. The last time a party was held not by you, shit went to Tartarus.”

“Pfft. Why would I? Besides, we all know mine are always the best, no matter what. Now let’s go! I can’t wait!”

Sunset gets up, and opens the doors, me entering first, with her following suit.

And a rev of the engine begins takes us to the designated location.
