Dear diary,

Before I get ready to go to Slaughter Alley, I'm going to write about today.

Steely was fine. He was grateful for me but that was what any friend would have done. Anyway I saw Fluttershy and asked her about beaky.

"She's all right." she said, "You don't need to worry about her." That was reassuring enough for me. Only now I'm worried about Beaky repeating anything that I usually say to Steely as a friend or sometimes that I’m nagging. I hope not, she can be a annoying parrot sometimes.

It's nice to have lunch with Steely again. We haven't have one of those lately.

"So what was with that "info" you needed to take in?" I asked him. He took a bite of his sandwich and I think he said he'll tell me when the time comes but I'm not sure. I decided to let him finish his sandwich and then continue talking.

"Are you ready for practice?" he said after he swallowed the last piece of his sandwich. I told him that I needed to be home soon today so my father won't get suspicious. But he asked why he should get suspicious?

"Because I want to go out at night!", I said.

"Where do you want to go our at night?"

I needed to make sure he would stop so I said "I'll tell you when the time comes."

"When will the time comes?"

That did it. I just left the cafeteria. I knew he wouldn't stop until he gets a complete answer and I just wasn't ready yet!

Alfredo talked to Dad about how long it's been since he's talked to uncle Fancy Cash and it seemed that dad decided to call him and have one of those long talks. That was just enough distraction for me to get ready and head to my motorcycle super mega sneaky. The rest of the plan was up to me. Get to Slaughter Alley, beat sunshine, head home before dinner. pretty straight forward.

I reached my motorcycle and headed towards Slaughter Alley. I parked my motorcycle a little bittle away from Slaughter Alley because I don't trust that place. I waited about 5 minutes till sunshine arrived. I met up with her and showed her the way. She was carrying a gym bag with her; I suppose it was her fencing costume. I explained the rules for her and I believe she listened closely.

It seemed she was surprised about the place when we got inside. I told her to get ready since it would be our turn soon. I knew she would be pissed off when she heard her nickname and I was waiting for it!

When the referee was preparing everything to introduce us into the ring I prepared myself. And when he said my name 'THE REAPER' I stepped into the ring. Then I waited to see Sunshine's face when she hears her ridiculous name; unfortunately she already put on her helmet but I know she was really angry when the referee said "Bacon Head"

Enough with goofing around . Now was the time to for the duel to begin.

When the duel started I held my guard down to let her rush at me so I could counter her attacks. She did attack but she successfully defend against my counter. Same thing happened the next time we engaged. I could tell she had improved since the last time. I was wondering how hard she had practiced! But all of a sudden she kicked me in the knee! That hurt a little. Just A LITTLE, but she did that once more. Now that hurt much more but still NOT MUCH!

"What happened?, are you hurt?" She shouted. That reminded me of the plan. Get Home Soon! So I just decided to cut the duel short, so went for dragon strike, and she fell for it. Just that easy!

"The sun has set early today!" I told her when she was laying down. I needed to get back home soon so I just gave her a hand. Literally, besides, she put up a BETTER fight.

We walked to my motorcycle and it seemed she liked it. "Is this your motorcycle? Nice."

I took a look at my watch and saw that I have a little bittle of a time to spare so I thought I'd give her a lift, but she refused.

"So what should I give you as a reward? An ice cream or something?"

"Well, maybe later, REAPER! "

I'm starting to like her, just a little bit.

I drove home as fast as I could and thankfully dad's phone call with uncle Money Cash was not over yet. and that was enough distraction for me to head back to my bedroom super mega sneaky! plan executed flawlessly.
