Waters: Part 2 - Dark May

November 20th

A month has passed since the Fall Formal.
W and Trixie are going out, but they don't consider themselves as a couple.
Jack and Abe are still on their worlds, although Jacky hasn't asked Celestia to go out yet.
Ron is back in his work.
However, the gangsters have not entered Canterlot High again since the Fall Formal's night. All of them are living in Los Mantos now.
Today, W is near the Canterlot Mall, waiting for Trixie.

Meanwhile, at Butter Valley, on one of Plegovich's mansions, Lucas, Plegovich's nephew, and his uncle are having a conversation.

"I am tired," says Lucas. "You told me lots of times Pietro must be avenged, and you are not doing anything."

"Calm down," answers his uncle, while drinking a cup of tea and sitting in his living room's sofa to watch the TV. "Intelligent plans need a lot of time to be made."

"The only thing we have to do is to kill him, uncle! His partners won't bite our ass because we are their bosses!"

"Lucas... please. You know I don't want to kill him. He is sacred. Important. If I have him under my sleeve, everything will be a lot better."

"HE KILLED YOUR NEPHEW, UNCLE!"

Plegovich gets up from the sofa and draws a revolver. "What is that way of talking to me?" Lucas does not answer and takes a breath. "Your father educated you like assholes... I should have raised you from the beginning... your brother wouldn't have died if he hadn't been so arrogant and selfish."

Lucas doesn't say anything and goes away. Plegovich sits again on the sofa and whispers: "вот почему я убил своего брата," and grabs his phone. He starts looking for a name. The name.

W and Trixie are now hanging out at the Sweet Shoppe. Trixie ordered chocolate milkshake but W didn't want anything.

"Are you sure?" asks Trixie. "Don't you want anything?"

"No, it's OK."

"Are you still mad about...?"

W chuckles. "No, calm down... We can see each other though."

"Yes, but Everton University told Trixie if she wants to be a lawyer, she had to move to London to study."

"Yeah..." says W. "It is far from Canterlot."

"Far away," she answers. "That's the problem."

"It surprised me a lot," says W., "I thought you were going to study Equestrian Magic at Manehattan University."

"Well, Trixie has been interested in being a lawyer since she was a little girl," she answers. "And I am also interested in you too," she says, laughing.

"I knew it."

W and Trixie look to the person who has just talked. Rarity appears with a smile on her mouth. Behind her, Pinkie Pie is looking at them while laughing.

"Hi, Rarity... What?" asks W.

"I knew you were dating Trixie, darling!"

"Oh, come on!" says W. "What are you doing here?"

"We were just going to have lunch after school... and look at this! The first time I look at W since the Fall Formal, and he is... oh wow! Marvellous!"

Pinkie Pie suddenly jumps and lands in the table. "This is awesome, cute, kind, funny! I never knew you were together! Oh my! OH MY! I will write a fanfic about this on FIMFiction!"

"Ok, ok!" shouts W. "Will you leave us alone?"

"Oh yes! Oh yes!" shouts Pinkie Pie. "I've been waiting for this! Rarity, now it is the moment when the boyfriend wants to defend his girlfriend by getting up from his sit and saying Leave us!"

Suddenly, W's phone starts ringing. "Girls, girls," says W. "Please... besides, someone is calling me now. I need to answer the call."

Rarity grabs Pinkie Pie and moves her to another table. She greets him and also goes away W answers the call while Trixie is looking at him. "Hello?" he says.

"Hello there."

W recognizes the voice. A raspy, old voice with a weird accent. He thinks he is Plegovich but that voice looks like it comes from a younger mouth. "Um... Who am I talking to?"

"You don't recognize me, son?"

"Oh," says W, scared. "You."

"I am not a you, Bedmaker. I am Nicholas Plegovich."

"Yes, yes. I do recognize you, mister. Why are you... calling me?"

"Why? Are you busy?"

W looks at Trixie for a moment. He can't say no. He just can't do it, even if it's Trixie. "No."

"Oh... I thought you were. Well, if you aren't busy then... you can meet your future partners. Do you know what I mean? You will know Doom Kid, Garry, Kobolov... you will also meet Lucas, who hates you because you killed his brother but well... ha, ha. Both of us know Pietro was an asshole."

W takes a sigh of relief while holding the phone. "Um, look..."

"What?"

"Sorry if I haven't answered you since you gave me that letter but... You know I am working with another guy... with Ron. I can't work with both of you because that would be stressful and a mess for my life and I just can't... leavee Ron. He saved my life from misery." Plegovich does not answer now. "If you want..." says W. "Call me if you need help."

"Sure," says Plegovich. "Such a pity... but well, you are right. You can't leave Ron. You are right, you know that?"

"Mm-hmm."

"I should end the call now. увидимся, W."

"Um... bye?"

"Yes, bye."

Plegovich ends the call and W slowly leaves his phone on the table. "What happened?" asks Trixie.

"I... rejected a job offer," says W. "I am already working for Ron."

"Ron? The guy from the car store?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure that guy is only a car store owner? Trixie thinks he is something else."

W chuckles and grabs Trixie's hand. "No, Trix... he is only a stupid car store owner that saved my life."

"No."

"No?"

Plegovich and Sergei are now in the mansion's kitchen. It is big and it has a cooker, two sinks, two fridges, a dishwasher and a small table. Both men are talking next to the table.

"Why did he say no?" asks Sergei, confused.

"He is with Ron. He is being very loyal to him."

"Oh," says Sergei. "Yeah, you are right. He is Ron's Sergei."

"Yeah," says Plegovich, while grabbing a kitchen knife. "That fucking sucks."

"Why?"

"I need him."

"You want to kill him with your bare hands?"

"Nah... that doesn't matter. He is fresh meat, Sergei. Look at gangsters nowadays... They are all old pieces of crap except for Lucas and him. I am almost 45 years old, but I feel like I am a hundred-year-old man. If we have both Lucas and him... My plan will be perfect."

"Your father's plan?"

"My father's plan."

"But first, you will have to get Ron out of this. How would you do it?"

Plegovich stabs the knife in the table and leaves it there. "In that way, Sergei."

"Nah... sir," says Sergei, smiling. "That is not a Plegovich way to get rid of someone."

"I know," says Plegovich. "But we have to be quick."

"How about... the other way?"

"What?"

"A way where you would kill Ron, break W's feelings and assure he would be on your side."

Sergei now has Plegovich's attention. "What are you trying to tell me?"

"Sir," says Sergei while approaching his boss. "Do you remember Wade Waters?"

Meanwhile, in another mansion of Plegovich, Doom Kid, Garry and Kobolov are experimenting with Verminium's magic.

They are making small pills filled with magical powder, turning this into a drug that looks like a power-up. Doom Kid called this drug Harmony, because of the Elements of Harmony.

Minutes later, there are three pills on a small table. The three of them have to take the pill and see what happens.

"Are you sure?" says Doom Kid. "Is this safe in the first place?"

"I agree," says Garry. "A pill filled with magic will go through our throats and will end up in our stomach."

"Guys," says Kobolov. "I ate magic a long time ago, in the army. Everything's gonna be all right."

Kobolov then grabs the pill and swallows it. Garry and Doom Kid are now scared. "What are you feeling right now?" asks Garry. "Are you OK?"

Kobolov takes off his sunglasses and leaves them on a table. "Wow," he says. "I feel my whole stomach freezing. Goosebumps... goosebumps..."

The general vomits once on the floor. His other two partners try to run away but suddenly, Kobolov looks at his sunglasses and finds out they moved a little bit when he looked at them. He takes a long breath, cleans his mouth, stretches his hand and the sunglasses slowly move to the right. He raises his arm and realizes the sunglasses are slowly levitating.

"No fucking way," says Doom Kid. "This is fucking awesome." And then he takes the pill. Garry does the same. A minute later, Garry finds out he is walking a lot faster than before. He runs outside and returns to the room in only half a second. He is faster... a lot faster. Doom Kid, in a way to find out what did the pill do with him, smashes his fist against the table... breaking it in half. Doom Kid has super force now. The three of them start celebrating, but then, half an hour later, realize the pill's effect is limited, so they should need to make more and more pills to have those powers.

"Despite the effect is limited," says Doom Kid. "This is awesome... I broke a fucking table in half. Holy shit. I just can't believe this... Shit! This is awesome! HISTORICAL!"

Butter Valley.

Grey Footprints is at his house, alone. He is just taking a long breath while looking at a window. His room is empty, except for a small cupboard and sheets of papers on the floor. Lots of them. He is just relaxing when he looks at a mysterious shadow that appears behind him. He slowly turns around and looks at a man who knows.

"Did you miss me?" asks Plegovich while looking at him.

Grey Footprints tries to run away but falls to the floor while punching himself. His right pupil shrinks while he is trying to shout something: "Y---Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-YOUOUOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOU! ARRGH!"

"Yep, you missed me, Grey Blackle. We need you."
