Truths and Lies

Back at the hotel you and Big B are laughing your asses off, while observing the Flim and Flam brothers panicking on what happened and left shitless. You then begin wondering about this strength of yours. Twilight did say it’s 50% of Applejack’s strength if you focus more but that doesn’t seem to be the case. You decided to check with Twilight when you and Applejack will meet her at Canterlot High the next day. Before you forget you send a text message to AJ that you will instead bring Winona’s ball on Monday than throwing it back to her from here.

You are at Canterlot High spotting either for Applejack to return Winona’s ball or Twilight to double check her analysis about your powers. It appears that your best friend is the one that showed up first. You see her showing signs of seriousness as she approaches you, either she is just playing with you or you’ll get another scolding.

“Morning sugarcube.” AJ greeted you then she pulls out some paper from her bag showing which is the letter you threw the other day. “Ah got yer message the other day, well it’s actually for the Flim Flam Brothers.”

“I guess you are going to scold me, again.” You said bracing yourself.

“What you did is the most STUPID...WRECKLESS...” You knew it but then Applejack begins to pucker up smiling then starts to laugh. “AND MOST HILARIOUS thing that you ever done. Ah never seen those two skedaddle like a bunch of chickens without even figuring out what’s going on.”

“But you’re still mad, right?”

“Suppose to. But for now, me and mah family really do appreciate the assistance. Oh, Ah just wanna give ya’ll a kiss an-” Applejack then stops as she swallows her words. You did hear that last part she blurted out. “Ah mean again thanks for helping us out, really.”

“It’s no big deal.” You said then you see Twilight coming this way with her friend that she was assigned to you.
You immediately went straight to her still without you knowing that you help Applejack and her family, again. AJ felt even more regret about the more you assisted her family, the more she is in debt with you.

While the other members of the Rainbooms are busy watching the progress of the other boys, after your last class you and AJ followed Twilight back to her place. She re-double check your powers if the super strength you possess is really 50%, and apparently it is. Both of you wonder on Twilight’s analysis until the two of you see any abnormalities on your powers within the week, then find out the results next week.

Within the week there were also events like one of the teachers accidentally spilled their hot coffee on you which your durability didn’t work (good thing the burnt wasn’t that bad), even having some of the guys try their powers on you. When the week came to explain each of your results, just like Twilight’s first analysis there are some elements that your powers cannot endure.

But then you notice that something has been bothering AJ recently. You ask to see what was going on, but she said that everything is fine on her end and you doubt it. Applejack never lies but it looks like she does keep some secrets from you and her friends.

****************************************************************************

Days passed and still no signs of abnormalities with you and the other boys. Then you decided to give Applejack something in return not just because she and her friends saves the day when Equestrian magic gets involve but also being your best friend since childhood and to confess to her.

You gave her a call and patiently waited. She picked up from the other line and you explained to her about the plans for tomorrow. Applejack said that there was no need for that, you insisted since she deserves it. She didn’t answer for a while then gave her decision that she will be there.

Since you heard that Frostbite is planning also something for Pinkie Pie, back at the hotel you went straight to the kitchen to speak with the head chef, his dad. You judge at first about his father’s gender or that he is just effeminate, but you just let it slip by. You arrive at the kitchen and see him taste testing the food before serving it to the guests.

“Excuse me, I’m here to speak to the chef!” You called out getting his attention.

“Well, well if isn’t Mr. Onyx Steel here at my kitchen.” Frostbite’s dad approach. “So, what does the son of the owners need from me?”

“Your son Frostbite has plans with his friend Pinkie for tomorrow, I want you and/or him to be our chefs for my dinner date with my best friend Applejack. If you're willing and available.”

“Why of course sir and it will be my honor! Don’t you worry, you will be VERY impressed on what we will prepare for the two of you tomorrow.”

“Don’t disappoint me. Pfft, who am I kidding you never disappoint me. I wish the two of you good luck.” You said as you gave him a high five then left the kitchen.

****************************************************************************

It is now March 8; it took a while for you to prepare even though your date will be later at the evening, you still want to make a good appearance to her. Big B is now driving and the two of you are headed to Canterlot High. You gave her a call that you are on your way but she did not respond.

The two of you see of Canterlot High but the closer you two approach it, something wasn’t right. You have your bodyguard stop the car for a moment and see at the front of Canterlot High are Ardee and Rarity, but Ardee’s condition wasn’t on the good side. His other arm was covered entirely in ice while holding an ice sword and the entrance is blocked by an ice wall.

You’re about to charge since he is confronting one of your childhood friends, but what happened next is that Rarity handled it and calmed Ardee down. After a while she and Ardee went inside Canterlot High after removing the ice wall blocking the entrance. You immediately got out of your car and told your bodyguard to follow once he parks it. You sprint towards the entrance and upon entering catching up with Ardee and Rarity who’re standing in the middle of the hallway.

“Rarity, what’s going on?” You asked as you catch your breath.

“It’s a long story Onyx, darling. Right now, me and Ardee need your assistance on finding Micro Chips and the others boys,” Rarity said.

“Hold on, what’s happening?” You don’t know what’s going on until your bodyguard caught up with you.

“I will explain it all later right now it’s either find Micro Chips and hide him or if you see any of the other boys, stop them.”

Your brain is still puzzled on what’s happening but you nodded. You and Big B split up while Ardee and Rarity went the other way. While on the search you were shocked to see what it looks like a dinosaur just passed by you. You recall that Eli Blaze who Fluttershy was assigned to can transform into animals and began chasing him. You couldn’t catch up to him because of his speed, until your phone began ringing. You check to see that your bodyguard is calling, maybe he has luck on finding them.

“Big B, any luck on your end!?” You asked.

“Good news boss...I found Twilight and her companion...we are hiding in one of the classrooms...in the second floor...” He said in the other line but there’s bad connection.

“Wait, which one and where?” You reply but the line got cut-off.

You kept your phone and it wasn’t long your best friend, Applejack finds you. She was lucky that you are on their side, after telling her that you just got here earlier. The two of you are approaching the stairs, then you notice something passed by at the other side of the hallway followed by Sunset Shimmer from behind. You told Applejack to go and meet up with Twilight while you help Sunset Shimmer with hers. The two of you separate and you hope that this madness must end soon.
