King of the streets

A Week Later

Leonardo Jr’s pov

I smiled as I sat at my table with Sunset sitting across from me, helping me fill out the paperwork for the school. “So when were the girls coming over to your apartment again?” She looked from the rule book then looked over at the clock I put on the wall.

“They’ll be here in an hour. You know you’re free to come over too. I know Rainbow would love to hang out with you.”

I looked up from the paper I need to fill out for my classes to see a smirk on her face. I laughed, then nodded my head before I looked back down to the papers. “It will never happen. Rainbow’s nice, but there is no way I could deal with the madness I saw when I was driving her around. I think the one I have to worry about the most is the bouncing pink-haired girl. Besides, Chrysalis is coming over with a few of her guys to give me this month’s payment for our deal.”

“Pinkie Pie is her name, and more than likely, she’s going to jump you with a party sooner or later. She's charming, so you don’t need to worry about her.”

“Sure, oh, and I did some looking around. What was is the everfree camp trip.”

I heard her stop writing as she hummed.

“I think it’s a field trip that we’re going on at some point. We can worry about that later on. How have things been going on your side of your gang? Things have been quieting down over the last few days.”

I nodded as I finished the sheet then stretched my back. “For the most part, we’ve cleared out the last of the holdouts. I’ve also talked with Wendy and Bow about keeping their ears to the ground about anything.”

‘Knock’ ‘Knock’

“Speak of the devil.”

I stood then walked over to the door and opened the door to see the lady herself. She smiled as I let her in and nodded up to the big guy, and stopped when I saw another woman in a dress. She looked like Chrysalis but younger and blonde with slightly lighter skin. I let her in while wondering if she’s an enforcer of the gang or another partner. She walked over to the couch as I closed the door. I sat down in my chair, and Sunset walked out of the kitchen. She’d taken her jacket off, and for the first time, I got a good look at her in non-baggy or tight clothes. She had on a purple tank top with spaghetti straps with a red and yellow half sun. She also had a spiked choker around her neck.

“Hey, Sunset, you can go home if you want; we can finish the papers later.”

“Okay, remember the girls would like to see you.”

I nodded, and she walked out of the apartment. I looked back and saw the guy smirking as he looked at me.

“Some ass you got there.”

I raised an eyebrow as I looked at him. “Oh no, she's nice, but I don’t mix pleasure and business. Nothing but trouble no matter what you do.” Chrysalis nodded, and the blonde girl laughed into her hand as she looked at me. I rolled my eyes and flipped her off, making her laugh more. I smirked and looked at Chrysalis, who smirked as she looked at me.

“I see you and my younger sister are at least getting along. Now, I have your money ready in the car, but I need to ask you about something.”

I nodded, and she opened a handbag on her right arm; she pulled out the map and set it down on the table. I saw it had changed to reflect the new territories, and the colors had changed. “Ok, why did you change the map?” I looked at her as she nodded her head.

“I haven’t changed it. It changed itself. Your territory has even grown a little all in the same areas your gang was taking control of on the edge of the surrounding territories.”

I blinked, not knowing the map was going to change when the leaders did. I looked up at her and crossed my arms as I looked at her. “Yeah, I have no idea. A man gave me this map before I came to this city. He was strange, but this is on another level.” Chrysalis nodded, and I sighed, then took the map and threw it over onto a small table beside me. “I’ll figure it out sooner or later. Now, how are you settling into the hotel?” The others smiled as Chrysalis spoke.

“It’s so nice to have air and power all around instead when we could get away with that old generator.”

I nodded and stood up. “Who wants drinks?”

“Me.”

“If you wouldn’t mind.”

I nodded, then walked into the kitchen. I came back out a minute later, four cans of cream sodas in hand. They all took one and started to open the cans as I sat back down. “Now, next time, I think I’ll be getting an office or something. They still haven’t found me a new building, and I’m getting sick of waiting for one.” Chrysalis nodded and started talking as I cracked open the can.

Sunset pov

I hummed a tune and walked up the stairs to my apartment. I swayed my hips as I hummed a little more before I pulled my keys out. I opened my door and closed the door, and turned on my lights. I set my jacket down on the chair I bought since my furnished chair was too hard on my back. I sighed as I moved my hair back as I looked around. I kept my apartment clean but knew with the girls coming over; it was going to be trashed fast. ‘Maybe if Jr does come, he can help me clean up.’ I walked into my room and turned on the lights, and headed over to my dresser. I opened the top drawer and reached under, and grabbed my cash stash. I pulled it out and looked at the last of the cash I had from selling the last of my bits. I sat it was almost gone with maybe only a fifteen hundred left. I smiled as I added the twenty-eight hundred Jr gave me as my start-up bonus and the eight hundred for my first month’s pay. “At least this came along before I got desperate.” I put all the money back in place and closed it. I sat down on my bed and ran my hands over my face as I sat there. I let my hands fall to my lap as I sighed. Now that I had a second to think, I started to worry a little. “What did I get into with him? Jr is a dangerous man, and he has the leader of the changelings in his apartment. But, he’s a fair guy at times, and he did save me from getting raped.” I sat on my bed for a few minutes until I heard knocking coming from my front door. I smiled, happy to put my worries aside and spend some time with my friends. I stood up and walked to my door. I opened the door, and I was happy to see the girls. Pinkie even had a cake.

“Hey, Sunset, how are you today?”

I smiled at Twilight as they walked in. “I’m good; I was helping Jr not too long ago. He’s going to be starting school with us next month.”

“Really?!”

We looked over at Rainbow, and she blushed as she rubbed the back of her head.

“Sorry, I just think it’s cool we’ll all be going to be in the same senior class.”

I nodded, knowing she has most likely grown a little crush on Jr or, more likely, his car. I laughed, and we moved things around, and we started to talk.

“So, Sunset, how did you meet Jr?”

I looked at Rarity and crossed my arms over my chest as I looked at her. “He helped me when a few guys tried to rape me.” They all got quiet as they looked at me.

“What!? Someone tried to rape you!?”

I waved my hand as I looked at the wall. “Rainbow, the walls are thin. The neighbors can hear you if you. And yes, Jr came from the other side of the alley, I guess using it as a shortcut if I had to guess.”

“Oh, Sugarcube.”

Applejack hugged me and rubbed my shoulder.

“Darling, what did Jr do with the men?”

I didn’t want them to know Jr killed them, but I knew Applejack could tell if I lied. “Jr pulled a gun left to him, and that stopped them fast.”

“He’s packing?”

I nodded as I looked at Rainbow, and I smiled as I looked at her. “Ya, the changeling has even started to leave this place alone. They struck a deal with him. Something about keeping Sombra’s guys out of this area. As far as I can tell, he helped to make some kind of agreement. I’m happy about that, and we haven’t had any shooting in this area since he moved in.” I looked at Applejack, and she hadn’t lost her sympathetic smile. ‘Oh, that Celestia, she did think I was lying.’ I grabbed her hand before another knock came from the door. I looked back at the door and smiled. “I guess Jr is taking me up on my offer.” I stood and walked over to the door and opened it to see Jr standing there with five large pizzas and two cream soda and cider letters in gags in each hand. He was dressed in blue jeans with a white shirt on with a black belt on. He had his hair combed back with his sunglasses on his shirt collar. “Come on in, Jr.”

Jr pov

I smiled as I let them out of my apartment and sighed as I lifted the bag in my hand. I smiled then thought about Sunset’s offer. ‘Maybe hanging out with them wouldn’t be so bad.’ I opened the back and saw a few wads of cash with half a pound of weed. “Not touching that.” Pulled it out then opened my door, seeing Chrysalis getting into her car. “Hey!” She stopped and looked back at me. I looked around and quickly ran back out to the car. I pulled the weed out, and she quickly took it and stuffed it into her arm bag.

“Not a smoker?”

I nodded as I looked at her. “I don’t smoke at all or snort or any of that. Maybe a drink here and there but not much else.”

“I’ll keep that in mind Jr. Sorry; I just thought maybe you’d like to try one of the new products you helped us get our hands-on.”

I rolled my eyes and nodded as I shut the door for her. She smiled and waved her finger and blew me a kiss as they drove off. I sighed, knowing she was fucking with me, but I’d need to deal with that later. I looked up and saw Sunset’s door with the lights on. I smiled and nodded, knowing I would have to get along with them to keep Sunset on my side. I walked back into my apartment and grabbed my phone. I looked up pizza restaurants. I found one ten minutes away and hit the call button. I put the phone to my ear and walked into my restroom as the voice of a woman started to talk.

“Hello, this is Pizza empire take out or delivery?”

“Delivery.”

“Okay, what can we made for you today?”

“Hello, miss. I’d like five large hand-tossed pizzas, three with pepperoni and two veggie pizzas.”

“Okay, sir. Would you like to add a two letter for a dollar more?”

“Yes, I’d like two cream sodas and two cider sodas if you have it.” it took a few seconds before she spoke again.

“Okay, sir. Your total will be sixty-five dollars ninety-eight cents. Will you pay with cash or card?”

“Cash.”

“Alright, it will be delivered in twenty minutes. Thank you for ordering with pizza empire.”

“Thank you.” I ended the call, then got some clothes, and walked into the bathroom. I got a shower, and as I started to get dressed, I noticed myself in the mirror. I smiled as I saw my body starting to tone up. I laughed and couldn’t believe how much my body had changed. I nodded my head as I put my shirt on, tucked in my pants, grabbed my black belt, and put it on. I heard knocking coming from the living room. I smiled, grabbed my wallet, pulled out a hundred in twenties, and slipped them into my pocket. I walked out and over to the bathroom, opened the door, and looked down at a girl. She had blonde hair with her eye looking two different ways. I smiled down at her and did my best to look her in the eyes. I took the pizza and drinks as I looked at her. “Here you come in for a second. I have the money in my pocket.” She looked a little worried for a second but walked indoors still open. I walked over and set the food and drink on the coffee table, then reached into my pocket and pulled out the twenties. “I’ve got a hundred in twenties. One twenty is your tip, and you can keep whatever is leftover from the other twenty.” She smiled as she took the money from my hand.

“Thank you, sir!”

She walked out of my apartment and closed the door behind her. I smiled as I looked at the closed door. “What a cute girl.” I walked into my room and grabbed some socks and boots. I had them on, then grabbed the food and walked out the door. I made my way up to Sunset’s apartment. When I was in front of the door, I kicked the door a few times. A second later, Sunset opened the door and smiled as she looked me up.

“Come on in, Jr.”

I walked in, and I noticed all the girls looking at me with a different look in their eyes. It wasn’t a bad look, but it was obvious that Sunset had told them something. ‘A problem for later.’ I set the food and drinks down on her larger coffee table as Sunset walked into the kitchen.

“Sit here, Jr.”

I looked at the couch and saw Rainbow patting the seat beside her. I smiled and sat down beside her, and she smiled as the purpled-haired girl sat down beside me. She smiled up at me and patted her eyes, and I laughed then looked back to Sunset as she walked in with plates. She passed out plates as I started to wonder what the hell I was thinking. ‘This is insane. What the fuck was I thinking coming to this apartment?!’

“So Jr Sunset told us you’d be going to school with us.”

I nodded as I looked at the cowgirl. “That’s right; she talked me into going instead of not.” I took a few pieces of pizza and set them on the plate.

“Do you like animals? I looked to the left and saw the girl hiding behind her hair. She had her hair out of her face, and she was smiling at me. I smiled as I looked at her and nodded as I looked at her. “Ya, I love big dogs, but I’m not going to get one until I get my own house. I don’t think miss Harshwenny would be happy if I bring in a big st bernard or a great dane.” She laughed and nodded as she looked at me.

“We have a great dane at the shelter if you ever want to come by and meet her.”

I nodded, but it was hard to hear her with how quietly she talked. “I’m guessing you’re a big animal fan if you’re at a shelter.” She nodded as she took a bit out of the veggie pizza.

“Hey, do you like to read?”

I looked at the girl who sat beside Sunset back at the bakery. “Ya, mostly science or biology. What about you?” She smiled, and everyone sighed as she started to explain how she loved to read about science and biology too. I smiled, and we talk with one another as the others talked amongst themselves. As we talked, I noticed someone was gone. I looked around and saw Pinkie was gone. I looked around until I smelled something cooking. I looked over to the kitchen and saw her there mixing something. I looked at Rainbow and pointed over to Pinkie. She smiled as she looked over.

“Oh, she’s just making a cake. She loves to bake and make people happy.”

I nodded as I looked at her. I stood my legs stiff from sitting for so long.

"Going somewhere, Jr?"

I looked down at Sunset and nodded as I walked around the small room. "No, my legs were stiff and trying to fall asleep."

"Mine too." The cowgirl stood and almost fell. I jumped, grabbed her arms, and lifted her. She laughed and blushed as she looked up at me.

"Thanks."

I nodded, and she moved around me and into the kitchen. I laughed a little and walked over to the door and opened it, letting some of the cool air in, and saw the sun starting to set. I smiled as I looked at the sun.

“See something you like?”

I looked back at Rainbow and smiled as I looked back at the sun.

“Ya, I always loved to see the sunset. Where I grew up, I could always watch the sunset. I loved seeing the clouds and colors.” I heard them laugh before they went back to talking. I watched the street lights coming on. I hummed as the sun disappeared behind the buildings. I smiled and walked back in, and closed the door. I saw Pinkie with a cake with writing on it.

“Thanks for saving Sunset.”

I blinked and looked at Sunset, and she looked away from me. I sighed and nodded as I had my hand as I turned back to the door. “Ya, you lot have fun with the car.”

“Nope!”

Rainbow and the cowgirls stood in front of the door. “Are we doing this?” They smiled, and I rolled my eyes but smiled as I looked back at the girls. They all smiled back at me, with genuine smiles, not fake smiles a group would generally give me. I smiled back, grateful for this moment of calm. ‘Well, I guess this isn’t so bad. A nice night before I start consolidating power in a few hours.’ I sat down as pinkie started to cut the cake.

Nine hours later

Chrysalis pov

I stood outside my hotel and watched as my people moved out all the new stock. I smiled as I watched them walk into the hotel.

“Boss Jr is here.”

I smiled as I looked to the side and saw Jr walking up with a new jacket on. It was a tight brown leather jacket with his colts on his sides. He walked up to me with two of his men behind him.

“So, have we found the last of the resistance to our new power?”

I smiled as my people came out armed with new rifles and pistols. “Ya, their hold up in the hotel you shot up. About fifty of them were there and have reinforced the doors.” Jr nodded then walked up and jumped into the van with my guys. I knew he was on my side but now that I’d seen that map the trust in him has faded some. ‘Let’s see how well all this plays out.’
