Chapter 6: Gangsta's Paradise

The girls slept peacefully after the night of poker. Rainbow, Sunset and Fluttershy were sharing Rainbow's bed while the others were crowded on small cushions next to them. The crusaders, meanwhile, were asleep in Scootaloo's room, the three of them sharing a bed.

Twilight had been awake for some time. Staring at the ceiling while the others were still asleep, deep in thought.

"Why Flash, why are you doing this to me?" she wondered, "Haven't any of these years meant anything to you? All the dates, all the times we took a train and went on a trip... Was that all a lie? I introduced you to my family, all of them... I thought it was real between us...

"For the love of cider Twi" suddenly thought Applejack, who was on a mattress next to her, using telepathy. "It's five in the morning please let us sleep for at least two more hours."

"I can't sleep Applejack." She told her "I can't stop thinking, that everything I've been through with Flash has been a lie."

"Twi, for the last time, the only thing that has been a lie is Flash himself. All those trips, dates and so on you lived them." She told her unveiling herself as well.

"Yes, they were, but it was the nomag." She said sadly.

"And what's wrong with that?" asked Applejack "What little sleep you've given me, it's got me thinking... if we're happy, what's the difference? Caramel is a jerk and I feel silly that I didn't catch his lies sooner, but look, better late than never. I guess I was so obfuscted with his face, his muscles and what he appeared to be that I failed to see the truth. In retrospect, the one who has always been is Spike...and truth be told, if all goes according to plan, I wouldn't mind hanging out with that little guy. It must be interesting to grab someone and lift them up for a kiss."

Twi brought her hands to her eyes and squeezed lightly.

"AJ..." she told her "Why does fate have to be so cruel?"

Rainbow Dash stood up a little from the bed with a sleepy, pissed off face.

"Twilight, Applejack, please... I know it was a bit strong what we found out and you might be more lost than a son of a bitch on father's day... BUT FOR GOD SAKE GO BACK TO SLEEP!" she said as she fell back on the bed asleep."

The girls, looked at each other and lay back down.

"Who owns my heart...the guy I thought was my boyfriend...or the person I've been dating for six years..." she said before finally falling asleep.

Meanwhile, Spike was in his apartment, still in the same position as last night, hood up and asleep on the couch, arms crossed and head down. As he nodded off, he breathed hard hurting his neck and woke up.

"Ah... fuck, my neck." He said as he grabbed the back of it. "How I hate falling asleep on the couch."

He got up and headed to the messy kitchen. He grabbed his usual latte and went to the window. He raised the blinds and watched as a new day began to dawn in Canterlot.

"The T-Wings are going to kill me" he said to himself "It's a fact of life. Or if not all of them, Thunderlane minimum..."
He sighed heavily and began suddenly to think about the girls.

"Ha..." he laughed "If it hadn't been for me, they would never have noticed those assholes..."

He grabbed the pack of cigarettes and began to smoke one as he continued to stare out the window.

"I wonder if it's all worth it... after all... I'm a boyfriend without being a boyfriend and when I'm not wearing a costume... to them I'm less than trash." He said to himself "Is it really worth it? To go from spending a whole morning getting hateful and disgusted looks from them and in the afternoon getting hugs and compliments... although, well, it's not like I have a choice either."

He took a long sip followed by a puff of the cigar.

"Although also... yesterday they were really weird... Rainbow and Shy the most... Rainbow directly talked to me, risking her status... and Shy... what they talked about before gym... were they talking about me?" he asked himself "Nah, pure nonsense, I'm not important enough for them to talk about me... and Rainbow only talked to me because of what I did for Scoots... It's nonsense."

He opened the window to get the fresh morning air in his face as the smoke from the cigar and coffee mixed and drifted away on the wind. Leaning back and looking out at the Canterlot City skyline, he sighed. He looked down at his coffee cup, and at the seven-story height to which his apartment rose. Suddenly, an image of a future together with the girls came to his mind.

"It would be very nice..." he said with a half smile "But it's impossible... I'm a nomag... and they in real life hate me... I would love to be able to talk to Granny Smith without the Caramel costume when I went to dinner with them, to share jokes with Big Mac... to help Shinning Armor with his police work without having to wear the Flash mask... but, I think above all, I would like to be able to walk hand in hand with any of them without having to hide who I am... What a life it would be..."

He finished his cigarette and coffee and went back inside the apartment. He went to his room and from under the poorly laid mattress on the floor, he took out his laptop. Opening it, he started looking at different open browser researches.
"Well... day off... I'd better get on with researching my latest invention... I need to find that jewel." He said as he went to the couch again with the laptop.

Hours passed and at Rainbow's house, the activity was getting underway. Applejack and Twilight were in the kitchen, making coffee since they couldn't fall asleep. Applejack grabbed the mug full of black coffee and from her jacket pocket pulled out a pack of cigarettes.

"Now you smoke too Applejack?" said Twilight quizzically.

"There are only three occasions where I smoke, in the morning, with the first coffee of the day, after fucking and when I have a lot on my mind...today the first and last reason have come together." She said as she reached into her pockets for a lighter.

Twilight raised her hand and created a flame in her palm. Applejack moved her head closer to the fire and lit the cigarette.

"Don't you... have another one for me AJ?" asked Twilight as she sipped her cappuccino and looked out the kitchen window and the warm orange sun of sunrise streamed through the kitchen.

Applejack pulled out the packet and handed one to Twilight.

"Yes, that you must be lost as Rainbow says" Applejack told her "I've never seen you smoke."

Twilight lit her cigarette and started coughing.

"Because I don't *cough* normally *cough* but *cough* *cough* I think I need to today." She said as she cleared her throat.

They both looked out the window at the sun and Dash's garden as they sipped their coffee. Twilight, with her magic, levitated a couple of chairs and opened the sliding window to go outside. Applejack followed her. She put the chairs right where the sun shone the brightest so they would be clear.

"I know what you're thinking Twi and I'm telling you...I don't think Spike's been faking it on dates...I think he really likes doing it." Said Applejack

"But...what if you're wrong?" she said as she took a puff on her cigarette. "We would have been fools..."

AJ looked at her friend and placed her hand on her hand that was on the table.

"We'll figure it out Twi..." she said. Suddenly her look changed to a teasing one. "Although... don't tell me it doesn't get your attention."

Twilight looked at her quizzically.

"What?" she asked her

"Going out with him." AJ said "Without the costume I mean. What will it be like to kiss him... touch him... fuck him..."

"What? NO" said Twilight with a blush.

"Don't lie to me Twilight..." he said as he looked at her with a mischievous smile and his teasing eyes.

Twilight stood for a few seconds without looking at her friend until she confronted her.

"Okay" she said "You win, yeah, I've thought about it, especially tonight with everything that's happened."

"So?" said Applejack raising her hat with one finger.

"Well..." began Twi as a smile formed on her face " It must be... interesting... I mean, he's a lot shorter, maybe I should grab his ass to lift him up so he can kiss me... his eyes are like knives, they stick in your mind and you can't get them out of your head....I don't know how long he'll be down there but... I don't know, I think he could satisfy us... plus his little face is so pretty... I saw it once when his hood was pulled and he fell down in front of me... I thought nomags were ugly but... wow."

Twilight realizing she had over spoken looked with a huge blush at her friend who now had a coyote smirk on her lips.

"But I'm talking about a hypothetical situation eh...I'm not saying it will ever happen!" She said waving her arms stridently.

"Ay Aja" said Applejack taking a long drag from the cigarette.

Suddenly and surprising Twilight appeared from behind Sunset and Fluttershy.

"Good morning girls."Said Sunset with a cup of coffee in one hand and an already lit cigarette in the other along with Fluttershy. "What are you girls talking about?"

"Nothing" said Applejack "About hypothetical situations."

Twilight felt a little embarrassed and didn't say anything, just took a sip of the coffee and a puff on the cigarette.
"I didn't know you smoked Twilight." Shy said as she sat down next to Applejack.

"And I don't smoke" said Twilight "But... I have too much on my mind really."

"I can imagine." Said Sunset sitting next to Twilight "It must be weird to suddenly find out that one person you've been dating for so many years... turns out to be someone else."

"I'm actually happy with the change." Shy said with a smile. "If everything both Sunset, The Crusaders and Rainbow told... if it's all true... I get him and he doesn't run away... I mean... emmm, I'd love to date him."

That last she said very softly and being a bit embarrassed that she had been so blunt.

"You see Twi?" said Applejack "Shy is with me."

"Am I?" asked Shy quizzically.

"While I was sleeping" said AJ " The little I could, I've been thinking a lot and it doesn't seem so bad to me. After all, that boy makes us happy."

"Yes Applejack" said Twilight putting out the cigarette in an ashtray she generated with her magic and vanished when she put it out. "But do I even remind you what will happen if someone finds out we're dating him?"

Out of nowhere, Pinkie emerged from behind her startling the girl since no one had seen her coming.

"Why would people have to find out?" said the hyperactive earthling.

"Jeez but where did you come from Pinkie!" said a startled Twi.

"You didn't answer my question Twi." She said with a smile

"What Pinkie is referring to is that if everything turns out to go well, no one should find out anything." Said Rainbow who was on the roof smoking. She threw the cigarette away and descended to the ground. "Besides, that would make it interesting. A secret love like the novels Rarity reads."

Rarity appeared from behind the window already made up, dressed and coffee in hand.

"Exciting it would be, a love like Romeo and Juliet." She said

"And how could anyone not know?" said Twi "Literally everyone in this town knows us. Or what are we going to do, talk to the nomag so that when he meets us he wears a costume to walk down the street and when we're alone he takes it off?

"Good idea Twilight!" said Pinkie.

"That was sarcasm Pinkie!" said Twi.

"Sar what?" she said hesitantly.

Twilight growled as she held her hands to her head.

"Hey why don't to clear our heads? why don't we spend the day on the Queen Novo boardwalk?" asked Shy "Sure...if you guys want to."

"Not a bad idea Fluttershy, we could use the sea breeze to de-stress, especially an alicorn to see if it clears her mind." Said Applejack

"Besides wasn't there an antique book store you wanted to go see Twi?" asked Sunset "Maybe between legends and fables of ancestral tribes you're forgetting a bit about this subject, because you're pretty burnt out by the looks of it."

As she said that, Pinkie pulled a frying pan out of nowhere and put it on Twilight's head, cracked an egg and started frying it. As Twilight noticed, she gave her a murderous look.

"Sorry" she said pushing the pan away "We had to take advantage of the heat hehe."

"Well damsels, what are we waiting for then?" said Rarity finishing her coffee.

"We should wake up the Crusaders, don't you think?" said Pinkie as she threw the egg out of the frying pan into the air and caught it with her mouth and ate it in one bite.

The girls got up and went to wake up their little friends.

Spike was still in the same position he had been in for hours, still typing on his laptop. Next to him, he had sheets of paper with lots of calculations and sketches of what looked like a wave tower like the ones on the TV channels.

The ashtray on the table was already full of cigarette butts, to which he added a new one.

"Mmmm fuck, nothing." He said to himself.

He squeezed his fingers over his eyes, stinging from staring at the screen all the time. He lit himself a new cigarette, went to the kitchen, grabbed a beer and went back to the couch again. He stared at the screen of the laptop with the internet browser open. He hesitated for a few moments, took a puff on the cigarette and a big gulp of beer.

"Wait... maybe it's not on the internet what I'm looking for..." he said.

Then he started typing again in the browser, this time, antiquarian bookstores.

"Voala" he said with a smile " "Ancienty' seakers" On the Queen Novo boardwalk. Might find it there."

The Queen Novo boardwalk spanned the entire bay from east to west of the island where Canterlot City is situated. The most crowded part was undoubtedly Little Pegasus, an area where there were stores, restaurants and the Captain Celaeno Dock amusement park, full of carnival games, the 131-meter high Eye of Canterlot Ferris wheel and the classic wooden Cyclop roller coaster over the sea on an old wooden dock, reinforced thanks to the magic of unicorn builders. All the buildings were very low in height, making a picture similar to Corney Island in Manehattan. Within Little Pegasus, there was Storm King Beach, so called because of its huge waves that many surfers take advantage of for practice and competitions.

The Harmony Girls, along with the crusaders, arrived at Little Pegasus in their respective cars.

"Ahhh the boardwalk, now that's a day off," said Dash stretching as she got out of the car.

"If I had known it would be this hot I would have brought my bikini." Said Rarity pulling out a fan.

"Well, Twilight and I are going to go to the bookstore would you guys like to meet at Sugar Cube Corner at lunchtime?" said Sunset

"Sounds good to me." Said Shy

"Perfect." Said Rarity

"Oki doki loki," said Pinkie.

"Don't get too bored between books." Said Rainbow

"As if you don't know us Dash" said with a giggle Sunset.

The alicorn and the unicorn went towards the end of the boardwalk where the store was located.

"So what are you girls going to do, sis?" asked Applejack to Applebloom.

"First, we're going to get a cup of coffee and then I think we'll go to the fair." She said

"Yep, I'm looking forward to taming old Cyclop again," said Scoots.

"Try to go to the bathroom before you go in Scoots, last time you almost peed yourself with fright." Said Sweetie laughing

"Dah, it was my first time on that roller coaster, normal I was nervous." Said the little purple haired pegasus giving Sweetie a friendly punch on the shoulder.

All the girls had a giggle before the crusaders took off.

"See you later." Said the three friends leaving their sisters there.

These said their goodbyes back.

"Pinkie, Applejack do you girls feel like catching some waves?" said Rainbow pointing to a surfboard rental shack.

"Ohhh get ready to bite the sea foam, sparky, you're in my element." Said Pinkie challenging her.

"I'm in for that good rodeo girlfriend." Said Applejack also defiantly.

"Don't cry when I electrocute you two." Said Dash as she took off running towards the tent.

Shy and Rarity on their side, agreed to just walk around and look at stores in the area. As they all parted ways, Spike appeared around the corner of the parking lot.

"Well," he said putting on his hood, "Let's hope none of the T-Wings are here."

The little boy stepped inside the walkway and mingled among the people, his head ducked so no one would suspect that there was a nomag among them.

Spike put on his slippers and walked out of the apartment towards the boardwalk.

Rarity and Shy were strolling around looking at the large store windows until they settled on a swimsuit store. Summer was coming and they wanted to look at some bikinis for their graduation summer.

Shy was looking at a green trikini with pink flower patterns running from the bottom to the straps and Rares was eyeing a purple two piece.

"This one is certainly fabulous my dear, worthy to impress this summer." She said as she tried it on over the top before going to the fitting room.

"I go more for the trikinis, they hide more...well, you know." Said the pegasus shyly.

"What to hide darling?" said the unicorn "with the body you have, even with a burka you couldn't hide your figure."
Shy blushed a little at the comment and they went to the fitting rooms.

"Can I ask you a question Rarity" said as Shy undressed to try it on.

"Of course dear" Rares said as she did the same from the fitting room next door.

"Are you going to... mmm... break up with... Blueblood?" said Shy leaving Rarity looking worried and not answering. "I mean... it doesn't make much sense now that... we know what we know..."

"I... I guess." She said as she put on the top of the two-piece "And... you with Thunder?"

Shy also went without answering until she put on the full trikini top and looked at herself in the fitting room mirror.

"It would be the thing...wouldn't it?" she asked her friend unsurely who also looked in the mirror of her respective fitting room

"This whole thing is driving me crazy." Said Rarity sighing

"You're not the only one" said Shy "Have you seen how Twi's been getting?

"For her this is all harder than the others." Said Rares "She is or was at least very much in love with Flash and to suddenly find out about this...it must have been really hard. She needs to think."

"I think we all need to think about this a lot." Said Shy "And most of all, get any doubts we have with... Spike out of our heads."

"I guess you're right." She said as she walked out of the fitting room back into her usual clothes.

Shy came out of the fitting room as well, they looked at each other and smiled.

"It's going to be weird tomorrow going to the lunchroom with Patriot knowing that...well... he doesn't exist." She said worriedly again.

"Play it cool Rares...at least until everything clears up." Shy said

"That I will do" she said as they headed to the counter to buy the swimsuits.

Rainbow, Pinkie and Applejack were surfing in their tight wetsuits, catching the eyes of boys and girls swimming in the ocean. Rainbow was on top of the crest of a big wave with a huge satsifaction face. However, Pinkie manipulated the wave to stop it in its tracks, causing Dash to fall off the board and into the water while she was doing a tube. It wasn't long before Applejack, making use of her element, launched a stream of air towards Pinkie, stopping her in the middle of the wave, allowing it to devour her. AJ, breaking the wave, managed to do a perfect 360 and with the force of the water, turned the board to get to where her friends were.

"And that's how you win in Apple style" she said laughing.

Pinkie blasted her with a water cannon with her hand knocking her off the board causing her and Dash to start laughing.

"This means war!" she said as with her hand she created a whirlpool of air that sucked Pinkie in, who came out after a few seconds underwater, flying propelled and in machine gun fashion, started shooting water balls.

"Charge!" she said as she fired.

Dash for her part, with the strength of her wings, quickly dived underneath her friends. Pinkie, who was still in the air went to shoot her, but Dash created an electromagnetic field as a shield, crossing her arms that sent the water balls back at Pinkie, hitting her one in the face and causing her to fall back into the water.

"Bulls eye!" shouted Dash victoriously.

The three friends were laughing and having a great time inside the water. After a while they decided to get out of the sea to have a refreshment at the nearby beach bar.

"For the record, you caught me off guard before Pinkie" commented Dash.

"Yeah yeah, whatever you say Skittels, you just can't admit that I, Pinkamina Diane Pie, am the best surfer in Canterlot City" she said imitating her pegasus friend's victory pose.

"For victory mine sugarcube, the perfect tube I've ever made, only a real Apple can do that." Said the earthling Cowboy bragging.

Arriving at the beach bar, the three ordered a soda and sat down in some seats facing the sea.

As they drank, Rainbow noticed the Dazzlings sunbathing a few meters away, but they were not alone. Soarin, Cheese and Caramel were with them, giving sunscreen to the mermaids.

"Girls," Dash said in a serious tone. "Look who's there."

AJ and Pinkie turned their heads in the direction Dash was giving them. Pinkie stood up with a huge murderous expression.

"Soarin, you son of a bitch." She said as she walked towards the direction but before she could do anything, Applejack pulled out her truth lasso (a tool her element provided her with, it forces you to tell the truth if it starts to glow and allows you to control who you have bound as well at will.) she caught Pinkie and threw her to the ground."

"Easy Pinkie, easy, there are plenty of witnesses," said Applejack as she pulled Pinkie like the noose was a dog leash while Pinkie barked like a rabid Doberman. "Besides, it's not you who should do something.

Dash looked at her cowgirl friend and stood up with a smile. She stroked Pinkie's hair causing her to calm down and stick out her tongue like a dog.

"He's gonna hear me that little bugger." She said confidently. "You coming?"

"I wouldn't miss this for anything in the world." Said Applejack "Shall we Pinkie?"

Pinkie barked and nodded her head and standing back up.

"Mmmm ahhh yeah, right there Soarin. You sure know how to touch a woman." Adagio said as Soarin, looking orgasmic, applied cream to his back.

"You really drive me crazy Adagio" Soarin said as he enjoyed every inch of his hands stroking the mermaid's back.

"Ahem" cackled Dash to get the three boys and three girls.

Soarin jumped in fright at the sight of Dash there as did his buddies at the sight of their respective girlfriends.

"Daa... Dash, baby... uh... this isn't what it looks like" Soarin said with an awkward smile. "We're... we're very close friends you know, aren't we guys".

"Of course" said Caramel "You know I only have eyes for you little apple".

"And I Pinkie" said Cheese

"Yeah, for me, and for this mind-washing bitch's ass, right?" said Applejack to Caramel.

"Hey, hey slow down with me Apple" said Aria as she stood up "Why don't you listen to your element and make yourself scarce? Like air I say."

"Watch out for me Aria or do you want a rematch from the boxing ring?" said Applejack

"You mean when I beat you?" said Aria approaching her defiantly "Anytime cowgirl."

"Girls, girls, let's calm down." Said Cheese trying to calm the atmosphere "It's all about a misunderstanding."

"You shut up Cheese!" said Pinkie approaching him "You told me you couldn't meet today because your aunt in Phillydelphia was sick and you were going to visit her."

"This... it's just that... she wrote me and... she was better and so..." he said as he started to sweat.

"Don't bother Cheese." Sonata said as she stood up "This cocainomaniac never believed you in anything unlike me."

"What...did...you...call...me?" he said to Sonata as her hair deflated and her gaze grew cold.

" Cocainomaniac." Sonata said crisply "Don't try to hide it...your addiction to "sugar" is well known. As is your reputation on street corners."

Pinkie with fire in her eyes created a water fist in her hand and tried to punch the mermaid, but was stopped by Applejack.

"Say that again if you have any ovaries!" she said trying to break free from Applejack's arms and Sonata smiled as her gem glowed and fed off Pinkie's rage.

"It's not worth it Pinkie." Said Applejack calming her down "It's the mermaids what do you expect from these half-fish?"

The three Dazzlings all smiled at once triumphantly as Dash approached Soarin.

"You know Soarin." Dash said very calmly "I don't care."

Pinkie and AJ looked at Rainbow in surprise as a smile tugged at their lips.

"What baby?" asked Soarin fearfully.

"That I don't care if you cheat on me with this bitch." Said Dash "Or that you brag about how strong and sporty you are or that you go from woman to woman so you can fuck them."

Suddenly sparks began to fly from his right arm.

"But, if you ever touch me again, if you ever talk to me or even, look at me again. This, will be a snack compared to what I will do to you." He said with a Machiavellian smile.

"The... what?" asked Soarin fearfully.

From the sky fell a huge bolt of lightning that struck Soarin directly, causing his entire body to be electrocuted and his body to be covered in black soot. He fell backwards half paralyzed by the electricity.

"Be thankful it was only 15kw" he said as he started to turn around. "Oh...and by the way, in case you didn't catch that. I'm leaving you!"

She started walking back to the beach bar as the gazes of the sunbathers was on the sky because of the lightning that had just struck out of nowhere and without any clouds.

"Shall we go girls?" she asked her friends.

AJ and Pinkie smiled and left with their friend.

"We'll talk you and I."They said at the same time, before leaving, to Caramel and Cheese.

Dash sat back down in the lounge chair at the beach bar, grabbed his soda that was still on the glass table that was in front of the lounge chairs and began to drink triumphantly.

Pinkie, jumping up and down, hugged her friend as she sat in the seat next to her.

"That was awesome Dashie!" said Pinkie.

"Now that's leaving someone with sparkle, friend." Said Applejack as she did the same.

"I'm just trying to set an example for you ladies."Said Dash "I hope you all have the ovaries to do it soon.

"Don't worry about me Dash." Said Applejack cracking her knuckles "I hope Caramel is prepared for what's coming for him."
"And not for me either..." Pinkie turned her gaze and watched Spike's purple hood going at a quick step along the boardwalk that was behind the beach bar. The other two friends also turned and smiled all three at once. "What's more, my eyes are already cast on another foal."

"Just wait and see, who'll tie the lasso first," Applejack said as she followed Spike with her gaze.

"Don't tempt me AJ, don't tempt me" Dash said as he did the same.

Sunset and Twilight were walking slowly along the boardwalk, a bit removed now from the hustle and bustle of the fair and Storm King Beach.

"Well" said Sunset looking at her alicorn friend "Are you a little bit calmer?"

"Sunset" said Twilight "I don't know what's going to happen from now on."

A worried face formed on the alicorn as she looked down at the ground.

"I'm scared." She said "For us... for our future... for...

"For him?" asked Sunset

Twilight didn't answer, she looked up from the ground and confronted her friend, still looking worried.

"Yes." She said, "For him. For what happened to him. I never understood why deep down I cared what happened to that nomag. I guess now it's clear why."

Sunset walked over to her friend and put her hand on her shoulder comfortingly.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with being in love." Said the unicorn with the best smile she could.

" I know... but that's not how I had it in mind... not with him..." she said worriedly.

"One doesn't dictate what one's heart feels Twi." Said Sunset "You better than anyone, know that love, is the most powerful magic of all, far more than chaos or friendship."

"Yeah... you're right... but, it's going to be all very complicated now... I'm not saying I'm going to accept all of this or at least accept it all at once I'm saying that... it's going to be very complicated." Twi said standing up as she looked back down at the ground.

Sunset stood up as well. With her hand, she made her look at her eyes, she stared at her for a few moments with a smile.
"Yes, yes it is going to be." Said the unicorn

Twilight finally smiled and they continued walking down the boardwalk until they reached the last store, Ancienty' seakers. They both went inside. The store had a mysterious air, inside it was decorated as if it was a giant teepee of some Alapahoe Indians, full of Indian style paintings, animal skulls, feathers of birds of prey.... There were four shelves full of old books of different mythologies. Some of them even written in the now dead languages of those ancestral tribes. The shop assistant, for his part, was in his early forties. He was a unicorn dressed like the chief of a tribe, his costume was made of cowhide, he had a feathered crown on his head and a painted face, although he could not hide his angry expression.

"Hey, kids," said the shop assistant in an aggressive tone, "Don't touch anything you're not going to buy, got it?"

"Okay, okay." Said Sunset "How fucking rude."

"And don't talk so loud!" said the man as he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Sunset watched as the shop assistant had fallen asleep and pulled her finger out as she walked over to Twilight who was already looking at what book she would buy.

"I hope some of this reading will make me forget a bit about all this and the nomag too." She said to Sunset
Suddenly, the door to the store opened without the shop assistant waking up, Sunset looked and saw that Spike had entered inside.

"Well... I think you're gonna have it rough." She said as she made to wait on her and they both looked up at the nomag.
Spike noticing them was surprised.

"Shit. What are they doing here?" he asked himself.

He looked down and went to the shelves next to where the two friends were.

"I seriously can't believe it" thought Twilight.

"It's already a coincidence." Sunset thought back to her "What do you say we...?"

"No way." She said telepathically to her friend with eyes like plates and an expression somewhere between surprised and terrified.

"Come on, if this isn't a sign from the universe for us to start talking to him without him wearing any disguise, may lightning come and strike me down right now." Sunset thought

"No... I can't Sunset... I'm still confused." Twi said with a blush looking through the gaps in the shelves at Spike.

"Well, you don't talk, I'm going to try." Said the unicorn to her friend.

Sunset was about to turn the corner to go towards Spike when Twilight grabbed her arm.

"So what are you going to say to him? Hey Spike, long time no talk, hey I was wondering if you've been using a shapeshifter belt lately to hang out with us without anyone suspecting?" said Twilight to her rhetorically.

"I don't know Twilight...but I really want to talk to him again." She said as she removed her friend's arm and headed down Spike's hallway.

Twilight followed her not quite sure what she's going to do.

" Fuck fuck, fuck, they're coming fuck me fuck... God... chill, they're not coming to talk to you that would be very..." thought Spike but was interrupted by Sunset.

"Hi Spike" began Sunset a bit nervously.

"What the fuck, are they talking to me? Relax, try to ignore them... fuck if anyone sees them talking to me they're going to have a big one" thought Spike as he pretended he hadn't heard her and kept looking at books.

"Emmm... Spike?" said Sunset as she reached out and grabbed the little hooded boy's shoulder.

Spike from astonishment gave a little jump and looked this way and that to make sure no one was watching them and that the shop assistant was still asleep.

"Easy Spike, it's me, Shamara, Sunset," she said to Spike "Don't you remember me? We go to the same class.

"Of course I know who you are Sunset." He told her altered but in an almost whispery tone "I remind you that you kicked me all over my face yesterday."

Sunset started to feel bad.

" Yeah...I'm sorry about that...I was...I was just coming to apologize...it was very free flying kick." She said apologetically as Twilight gave her friend a sidelong glance as she pretended to look at more books on the shelf.

"Well, if that's why, come on, apology accepted," Spike said nervously looking to see if anyone was coming. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm a little busy so..."

"Are you looking for any books?" said Sunset with a smile, ignoring Spike's intention to get away from him. "I can help you if you want."

"You don't need to help me, really, I can manage on my own, go back to your friend who seems to be giving her something, maybe she does need your help." Spike said pointing at Twilight who was sweating like cheese in the sun.

"Listen... I know I did wrong in... well... in everything... and I wanted to apologize to you because..." began Sunset.

"Sunset... listen to me well, I accept, all the apologies you want... but stop talking to me or you'll get yourself in a hell of a mess." Spike said looking at her with concern in his eyes. He picked up a dusty book that was on the bottom shelf that read "Myths of Kulahaihuea" and turned back to Sunset with a little tear in his eyes. "And I mean it...I forgive you...don't talk to me again...it will be the best thing for you."

He turned to the shop assistant whom he woke up to as he set the book down on the wooden counter.

"It was 20 fifty wasn't it?" said Spike ducking his gaze so he wouldn't look him in the face.

"What? Ah yes yes yes..." said the clerk waking up "It's 20 and... wait a minute..."

The shop assistant, pulled back Spike's hood revealing his face and hair.

"A NOMAG!" he said upset "IN MY STORE!"

He grabbed a bat and from the counter tried to hit Spike in the face, who dodged the bat by a miracle and ran out of the store.

"GET OUT OF HERE YOU THIEVING SON OF A BITCH! NOMAG YOU HAD TO BE." He yelled at him from the doorway as Spike ran down the boardwalk pulling his hood up.

The shop assistant turned to the girls who were open-mouthed at what had happened.

"Are you all right, did the nomag do something to you, do you want me to call the police?" the clerk said worriedly.
"No, no... we're fine," said Sunset.

"Fuck...what a disgusting bunch of scum, thank goodness there are only a few of them left." Said the shop assistant returning to the counter.

Sunset stared at the book Spike wanted to buy. She looked at Twilight who, knowing what she was thinking, lingered for a few seconds and nodded as she pulled her wallet out along with Sunset.

"Twenty fifty, right?" said Sunset as they each pulled out ten twenty-five.

Spike stood around the corner of the store hyperventilating and almost crying with rage. With a trembling hand, he pulled out his butterfly knife with the intention of cutting himself.

"Spike?" said Sunset who was carrying the book in her hand.

"Aaaahh" cried Spike in fright causing him to drop the knife on the floor.

" Calm down, it's us." He said as Twilight also appeared "Hey... we really want to make it up to you so...well..."

Sunset held out the book for him to take.

"For... for me?" he said reaching over and taking the book.

"For who else?" said Sunset with a chuckle.

Spike looked at the book cheerfully and then looked at the girls who were smiling back at him. The boy's gaze, turned worried and he pulled twenty-fifty out of his pocket.

"Oh, no, no." Said Sunset "Consider it a....

Suddenly Spike made to run leaving the money on the ground, next to the butterfly knife that upon seeing it, Twilight picked it up next to the money.

"Why did he have this?" she said worriedly.

"To cut himself Twi..." said Sunset sadly.

"You mean he..." said Twilight as she mimicked the motion of cutting her wrists to which she responded by nodding.

"It's not the first time I've seen him with that knife... and it's partly our fault that he used it for that." Sunset said as she looked along with Twilight in the direction where Spike had fled.

Sugar Cube Corner was a bar-restaurant inspired in the 1950s, with a jukebox, decoration of the time, movie posters of those years such as War of the Worlds or Vertigo. The color cream and pale pink was predominant on the walls, padded armchairs and even in the wardrobe of the waiters and cooks along with the light blue color. The bar had on display the entire food menu ranging from hamburgers to barbecued ribs. It was one of the most famous bars in Canterlot City, because of the decoration, the terrace in front of the fair and the delicious food they served.

Twilight and Sunset were sitting at one of the round tables on the terrace waiting for the others. Sunset was looking at the menu thinking what to order, but Twilight, was looking under the table at Spike's butterfly knife.

"It's my fault." Twi thought over and over.

Sunset looked up from the menu to see her friend's face, which had a huge expression of regret.

"Twilight" said Sunset "You'd better not think about it anymore really... you're not to blame for this."

" How do you mean no Sunset?" she said on the verge of tears "This was allowed by me. That he got to these points of cutting himself...I didn't...I didn't think he was so..."

Sunset put her hand over Twilight's.

"You don't" she said "Poor guy has a lot of bad things happen to him..."

"I know... but I have a feeling I could do something for him." Twi said lowering her gaze.

Pinkie, AJ and Rainbow were arriving from the beach and sat around the round table on the terrace along with Rarity and Shy who were carrying many bags from different stores.

"What a great day it is" said Dash taking a seat "The sun is shining, it's warm, the water is great, the waves are awesome...you could say it's a perfect day."

"Someone is in a very good mood I see." Sunset said as she saw her friend with a huge smile.

"Well, let's just say someone has a huge weight off their shoulders." Commented Applejack as she picked up a menu card.

"Yep, about a hundred pound weight of muscle, wings and dark blue hair." Pinkie commented.

Shy sat down next to Dash with her mouth open and took her by the hand.

"You broke up with Soarin?" she said stupefied.

"Exactly" commented Dash triumphantly "And in the best possible way."

"I guess the lightning we heard a few hours ago wasn't from an approaching storm was it?" said Sunset with a smile

"Nope" said Dash

"I'm so glad dear really" said Rarity "What's more, Shy and I were just coming over here talking about it."

"About the lightning?" said Pinkie

"No, no" said Rarity smiling "We were talking about that... it doesn't make much sense to continue with our boyfriends... knowing that technically they aren't our boyfriends."

"But there would be a few issues to resolve first" said Shy "I hope what you're going to do AJ isn't too..."

" Brute?" said the cowgirl completing what her friend was going to say "Don't worry Shy, nothing's going to happen to that little guy."

"I hope so..." said Twi whispering.

"What did you say Twi?" said Applejack surprised to see a bite of concern from her friend towards the nomag.

Twilight sighed, looked this way and that and slowly, showed the knife on the table.

"What are you doing with that Twilight!" said Applejack surprised just like the others except for Sunset.

"Wait a minute" said Shy taking a good look at the knife "It's Spike's butterfly knife!"

"We found it at the antique book store." Said Sunset

"It fell out of his hand and well...we tried to find him to return it to him, but we couldn't find him anywhere." Twi said staring at the knife blade that mirrored his face.

"This knife is Spike's?" asked Rarity.

"Why does he have it?" asked Dash to Shy.

Shy didn't answer, he was speechless knowing the for what he uses it for.

"Yeah" said Pinkie "It's not very normal to carry a knife around unless you're going to cut a birthday cake.... GAAAAASP IS IT HIS BIRTHDAY TODAY?" asked Pinkie with a hyperactive smile.

"No girls...he's using it for..." said Shy unable to complete the sentence.

"For what?" said Applejack who then looked at Sunset who was shaking her head.

They all looked at Twilight who simply grabbed her wrist with her hand and made the cutting gesture. The stares went cold and Pinkie's hair deflated.

"Oh..." was the only thing that came out of all of their mouths.

"I... I can't stop thinking that it's partly my fault..." said Twi.

"Hey sugarcube, don't get your panties in a bunch" said Applejack comforting her friend "I think all of us here are partly to blame and not just us, but I think in general... all of us."

" I know but...I don't know... we could have been a bit nicer to him or something... I don't know... that he had something to... live for" she said

"Well..." said Dash picking up the knife and examining it "It's never too late to make a amends for a mistake don't you think?"

The girls began to smile.

"That's where Dash is right," said Applejack "We can always try to fix things."

"The thing is if he wants to fix them." said Rarity

"I'm sure he does." Said Applejack.

From the fair, came the crusaders with a huge euphoric look on their faces and sat down in the last three chairs left free at the table.

"Hi girls" said Sweetie Belle "How's your day going?"

"So far so good sweetie" replied her sister Rarity "For some better than good."

With her head she pointed to Dash who had hidden the knife so the crusaders wouldn't see it.

"I guess that lightning bolt a few hours ago was yours wasn't it?" asked Scootaloo to her sister "And it's no coincidence that bastard Soarin is around either."

"You're a good detective" said Dash as he playfully ruffled his sister's hair with his hand.

"How do you girls know Soarin is here?" asked Applejack.

"Her brother Rumble is here with his gang...unfortunately we ran into them at the fair with Those Who Must Not Be Named." Said Applebloom rolling his eyes at the descontet.

"Diamond Tiara and her gang aren't they?" said Rarity.

"Yep, they've taken over the shooting booth and won't let anyone play." Said Sweetie Belle

"They're dicks." Said Scootaloo "Especially Rumble and Button Mash, I've lost count of the times they've looked at Applebloom's boobs and the insults they've said to us."

"And all under the watchful bitch gaze of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon... disgusting." Said Sweetie Belle

"Those two spoiled little girls should get a good punishment really," commented Applejack.

"I rather doubt they'll ever get it" commented Twilight as she waved her hand, motioning for them to come closer "From what my brother tells me, they, as well as DT's parents, have done business with Don Bruto Malequentis, they are the main drug suppliers in town."

"Really?" said Shy "And why don't they arrest them?"

"There's no proof of it, but it's an open secret." Said Twi crossing his arms "Besides with all the money Filthy Rich and Spoiled Rich have they could buy off any judge."

"Bottom line, they're untouchable" Dash said pissed off.

"Unless there's really hard evidence, yes. They're untouchable." Said Twi

"What a bummer..." said Scoots " Oh and by the way girls, we've seen Spike."

"Really?" said Dash "Where?

"He was at the fair." Said Applebloom "He was walking around with a huge book in his hand and it looked like he was looking for something he dropped."

"The knife" they all thought at once.

"Is he still there?" asked Dash

"I think so... are you going to do something by any chance sis?" said Scootaloo with lascivious eyes.

"Mmmm... I wouldn't know what to tell you."Dash said as he stood up "Order me an Artery Cap Burger... I'm going to do one thing."

The girls, knowing he was going to hand the knife back to Spike, nodded and Dash walked away, leaving Sweetie and Applebloom a bit puzzled and Scootaloo with a playful smile.

Spike was wandering around the fair, looking at the roller coaster, the sea and the different fair booths.

"Fuck, how could I have lost the knife..." he kept saying to himself "If I don't find it, I'm going to go fucking crazy..."
Spike looked at the book and thought about what had happened to him with Twi and Sunset.

"It's so weird all this... first Dash, now Twilight and Sunset... Why are they suddenly so... nice to me?" he wondered as he ran his hand across the cover of the book.

Spike looked up from the shooting stand and saw a butterfly knife as a prize.

"Well, better that than nothing." He said to himself.

He headed toward the booth where Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's band was.

The two earthling girls (1,68 and 1,67m respectively), a year older than Spike, were pretty much the same outfit, changing colors. Both wore a short T-shirt, Tiara in black and Spoon in gray, with a pink pumpkin drawn on, white and pink plaid miniskirts and heels. Diamond Tiara's hair was long and violet with a large line dyed white. She wore a silver tiara on her head that matched the one drawn on her skirt and Spoon had long gray hair with a braid falling down her left side, cyan colored glasses and a silver spoon was drawn on her skirt.

Next to them were three boys. Rumble, a pegasus about their age ( 1.70m) with dark gray hair, muscular for his age, was dressed like a brawler. Leather jacket, pants with chains, black sneakers, a red T-shirt with an electric guitar drawn on it.
Button Mash, an earthling about Spike's age (1.68m) who was a bit skinny was playing with a knife in one hand and with the other, aiming at the fairground booth targets with the BB gun. He was wearing a colorful helicopter hat, with brown pants, a blue T-shirt with the Nintendo symbol and red and white sneakers like Sonic the Hedgehog. His hair was brown and he had a scar over his left eye.

Tender Taps, a boy with sleek, purple hair the same age as Spoon and Tiara (1.71m). He is an earthling, Blueblood's brother, with purple hair, who, like him, always dressed elegantly, with black pants and blazers, Italian shoes, white shirt and orange tie.

Button was aiming the BB gun at a bottle, which, when he pulled the trigger, shattered with the BB.

"And that's 128 points for Mash!" he said bragging about the achievement. "The knife, now!"

The shopkeeper, already tired of them hogging all the game for themselves, reluctantly gave him the knife.

"Hey kids, that's already the fourth knife I've given you can you let others play?"

Diamond Tiara approached him with a mischievous face.

"Listen to me you two-bit tenderfoot." She began "I am Diana Tiaronte Rich, daughter of Franchesca and Joe Rich, the CEO's of the canterlot bank, I don't think they would like to know that you don't allow my friends to play your stupid game. I don't think your business is going to like it either if all of a sudden, money stops coming into the associated account do you? So shut your mouth, give my friend some BB's and continue to give us gifts, have I made myself clear?"

The shopkeeper helplessly and angrily handed Button more BB's as they laughed at him and high-fived in triumph.
"Way to go DT!" said Rumble to him.

"Whew..." she said sighing "That's the thing about talking to the plebs, if you spare the rod, you spoil the aberrants as my mother says."

They all started laughing until they saw Spike approaching the game.

"Heh you hooded twit" said Rumble "Can't you see the game is busy or are you lacking brain cells?"

They all laughed until Silver Spoon got a closer look at him.

"Guys guys wait up" he said pushing up her glasses "But look, if it isn't the high school's very own disgusting nomag."

"Well well, the vapid little Spikey-Wikey" said Rumble scoffing "How do you take my brother's punches asshole?"

"Mine says the mashed potatoes like you so much, he's throwing itself in your face and everything." Said Tender Taps

Spike turned his head letting them see part of his face.

"I didn't come here to fight or anything guys, I just want to have a game." Spike told them as calmly as possible.

"Play?" said Diamond Tiara mockingly "I was unaware that nomags knew how to do anything other than get high on street corners and mug people in the streets.

"Hey" said Button Mash coming over and giving Spike a smack "Let's do one thing guys. Let's compete to see who wins the most points, if you win, you can take a gift, but if I do it you little shit, get ready."

He gave Spike another smack and told the shopkeeper to give him a carbine.

"Thanks..." said Spike to the shopkeeper as he handed him the gun.

"Don't even talk to me nomag...you'll see later to disinfect the carbine of your germs" the shopkeeper said in disgust to Spike.

"All right, shopkeeper, activate the moving targets." Said Button Mash

The shopkeeper pulled a lever and targets that were one after the other began to move from one side at considerable speed.

"Three, two, one, fire!" said the shopkeeper.

Both boys began rapidly firing the guns at the targets. Button Mash was biting his tongue and sweating while Spike, unblinkingly fired one pellet and another and another.

"Come on Button!" shouted Rumble "Show the nomag his place."

Button was hitting nine out of every ten targets he fired, however, Spike was very fast and had great accuracy shooting, hitting every bullet.

With one last accurate shot from Spike, the thirty-second time trial ended, leaving Button Mash with 120 points and Spike with 220 points.

"I won," said Spike crisply, setting the carbine down on the table in the carnival booth.

Button was completely perplexed and in shock as he had a reputation for never losing to anyone.

Rumble approached Spike with an angry expression on his face.

"You didn't win anything cheater!" he said facing the hooded boy.

"The score doesn't lie Rumble." Spike said still not looking up from the ground.

"The score doesn't, but you do, you filthy nomag." he said pushing him and causing to fall to the ground.

"Yes!" said Button coming back to himself "You nomags are liars by nature and I'm sure you tricked the gun."

"It is my opinion gentlemen" said Tender Taps cracking his knuckles and approaching along with DT and SP "That we should ajusticize this injustice by throwing him into the sea."

"But first, let's get a head start on working the fish and crush their food first." Said Rumble pulling out an American fist from his pocket.

"You're going to know what's a game over nomag," Button said pulling out from behind the tent some nunchucks.

"En garde nomag!" said Tender pulling out from inside his blazer a pocket knife.

"Quick guys, I don't want to lose my nail session because of this nomag, finish him fast" said DT as SP braided her hair and she pulled out a nail sander and looked shamelessly at the scene.

They were about to attack Spike when between them and the nomag, Rainbow Dash jumped out.

"Well, well what do we have here?" said the pegasus "I hate people who don't know how to lose."

"What do you care about this Skittles?" said Rumble "Why don't you go find my brother and have a good bite at him".

"Listen kid, I don't care about the nomag at all, but what I do care about is a healthy competition and he won fair and square." She said crossing her arms.

Spike was completely perplexed on the ground watching Dash defend him.

"What the hell are you doing Dash?" he thought worriedly "You're going to get yourself into a hell of a mess."

"Don't look to tickle me, sister-in-law, because you're finding it in me." Said Rumble

"Don't call me sister-in-law kid, your brother and I have broken up and don't look for them on me because you might get burned." She said as sparks flew from her hand scaring Mash and Taps, who threw their weapons to the ground, but Rumble had a cold stare and a machiavellian smile on his lips.

"You won't be able to." Said Rumble

"Try me midget" she said

"Come on Dash, for a nomag?" said Button holding up his hands "What do you care? It's a nomag.

"Maybe it's that there's something behind you and him?" said smiling Rumble

"Shit" thought Dash "What do I do? These bastards can ruin my life...sorry Spike."

Dash quickly turned around and kicked Spike in the mouth, who from the blow rolled and crashed into a roller coaster pole next to the booth.

"Okay, I was beginning to think the world was going crazy." Spike said to himself as he writhed in pain on the ground and blood spurted out of his mouth like a fountain.

"Is it clear to you kids that I don't give a fucking shit about the nomag?" said Dash angrily with now her whole body in sparks "I don't like sore losers and you're a big one.

"You know Dash" said Rumble looking at Spike's body lying on the ground and the pegasus engulfed in sparks and lightning "I almost didn't remember why you made me so horny, now I remember."

"Guys, guys" said approaching Diamond Tiara with mischief in her eyes "Let's go, it's not worth it for a silly game, besides, we have things to do."

"What? But he cheated!" said Button.

"We all know that," said Silver Spoon approaching Mash and putting his hand on his shoulder.

"But look, the beating was already Dash's for us" said Tiara glaring at Spike who was trying to stand up, covering his mouth to stop the blood dripping down.

"But it wasn't his beating" said Rumble a bit annoyed.

"I know, but there are better ways to get back at him and now her" Tiara whispered to Rumble.

A smile formed on both of their faces as Dash continued with his arms crossed and defiant face.

"Au Revoir Dash" said Tiara taking Rumble by the hand and walking away "Regards to your amorphous sister."

The TD Gang walked away from the booth towards the beach. Dash seeing that no one was coming, ran to Spike who she tried to help get up, but he pushed her arm away dismissively.

"I'm really sorry for the kick Spike" she said regretfully.

" What do you care for you" said Spike approaching the stall again and turning to the shopkeeper "I want a butterfly knife as a prize"

"Bullshit, nomag" said the shopkeeper "I don't deal with cheaters."

Dash came up behind him and showed her palm to the shopkeeper, which still had sparks in it.

"I mean eh.... I'm out of butterfly knives...they were all taken by the guy in the hat, but... oh look, this ultimate spy camera you can take. I was going to put it up for store security but... look better for you filthy nom... I mean kid" he said sweating.

The shopkeeper frightened by Dash's threat handed Spike a box containing a small doll of a purple dragon with green spikes on its head, back and tail. On the box it specified that it was a product of Fancy Pants Coperative, the world's leading security company.

Spike picked up the box, looked back to see Dash who quickly hid her hand, tucked it inside his hoodie pocket, picked up his book that was on the floor and quickly got the hell out of there. Dash pulled out the butterfly knife, saw it and went running after Spike.

"Wait boy!" she said.

The shopkeeper snorted in relief and sat down in the chair he had inside his booth.

"Shit, I'd spent over six hundred bits on that camera" he said in shock "Why the fuck didn't I give him a plushie?"

Rainbow followed Spike from behind as he tried to evade her. However, in a desperate attempt to catch him, she lunged at him under the wooden supports of the roller coaster, landing herself on top of the boy who had closed his eyes from the impact. Dash was completely fascinated by looking at his face.

"Oh my God," she said to herself.

Spike looked up and saw Dash just inches from his face, which, thankfully, had stopped dripping blood. A blush ran through them both and a huge feeling of wanting to kiss.

Dash began to notice then, how Spike was starting to get an erection from having the pegasus on top of him.

"Fuck no mate, not now!" he thought to himself trying to think of something other than Dash. "Can you get off of me please!"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." Dash said embarrassed getting up quickly.

Spike also got up quickly and with the sweatshirt hid his erection.

"What... what do you want Dash?" said he embarrassed.

"I...it's just..." she said as she pulled out the knife "I think this is yours."

Spike took the knife and looked at the pegasus.

"Listen...I heard what you do with the knife and I..." said Dash looking pitifully at Spike.

"What do you care what I do with it Dash?" said Spike pocketing it.

Dash didn't answer, just ducked her head.

"If you do it because of me...I'm really, really sorry" she said as tears escaped her eyes

"What the fuck is going on here! Why the fuck is she crying! Does she... does she feel sorry for me?" asked Spike in shock.

"Sorry, I'd better go and I'm really sorry about before," he said as he turned and spread his wings and flew away.

Spike stood perplexed watching the pegasus fly away.

"Thanks Dashie" he said with a slight smile.

Some time later, after the girls had eaten, they all went to the fair again, the Harmony Girls were in line for the Cyclop, Rarity and Shy being the ones who would wait below while the others went up and the Crusaders were on the Ferris wheel. There, Scoots, Sweetie and Applebloom gazed out at the vastness of the sea and how small the people looked from that height.

"Damn, this Ferris wheel is high, isn't it?" said Sweetie Belle.

"Don't worry Sweetie" said Applebloom "It's not going to fall, it's very safe."

"Wow, from here you can see the whole coast of Canterlot City" said Scootaloo "I wish I could fly like the other pegasus so I could always have this view whenever I wanted."

Her two friends, knowing that not flying was a sensitive subject for her, came over, hugged her and smiled.

"You might make it someday Scoots, I'm sure you will." Said Sweetie

Scootaloo then looked over to another booth where there was a couple of unicorns kissing in love.

"Girls... what do you think of all this?" she asked her two friends.

"The Spike thing you mean?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"Honestly... he's a really nice guy. At least he's the only one who isn't all the time looking at me like I'm some boobs with legs." Said Applebloom "Besides, he's shown us as a Patriot that he's a good person."

"So... do you guys like him?" asked a bit flushed Scoots.

Sweetie and Applebloom were silent.

"You want me to tell you girls the truth?" said Sweetie "For a while now... whenever I've seen him in class or walking the halls... well... let's just say that any shower I've had has been in his honor."

Applebloom and Scoots were perplexed and blushing as she did.

"If it's any consolation...you're not the only one." Confessed Scoots

"What about your AB?" asked Sweetie.

"Well... I can't deny that the guy is very handsome and that mysterious air the hood gives him... who am I kidding, yeah, I've also given myself a homage or two thinking about him." Said AB finally

"One thing is clear" said Sweetie "If all goes well...we're going to have some terrible competition with the Harmonys."

"That's true, but keep in mind, there are three of us and three against one is always much better than one on one." Scoots said leering and nodding.

"That is if we catch the guy before Shy or Dash... because they kill him" said Sweetie laughing.

"Or my sister herself" said also laughing AB.

"He' s going to have to get Power Rade in his vein no doubt" said Scoots with a chuckle.

The three Crusaders finally got off the Ferris wheel and went to buy some ice cream at a nearby store, after taking it, they began to stroll along the beach with the sun setting.

"The sun at this hour is beautiful" said Sweetie watching the orange sun go down below the ocean waters.

"No doubt about it," said Applebloom.

"And walking side by side with the best friends in the world is even more so" said Scoots putting both her arms around her friends shoulders.

Walking, they reached the dock. At that hour, there was no one on the beach anymore and if there was, they were far away from there.

"Don't you girls feel like a swim in the water?" said Scoots.

"We don't have a swimsuit Scoots" said Sweetie.

"Who says we need it?" she said as she began to undress.

"What are you saying?" said Sweetie in alarm "Someone might see us!"

"I don't see anyone right now." She said completely naked, showing off her entire body, from her breasts to her beefy legs that ended in a bubble butt (90cm).

AB looked around and seeing that there was no one around, she also undressed revealing her breasts and round ass.

"You too AB!" said Sweetie with a very big blush.

"I'll have to let the twins breathe as my sister says." She said already completely naked

"Last one in is a chicken!" said Scoots as she jumped into the water along with AB

Sweetie hesitated for a few seconds. She checked that no one was coming and stripped naked exposing herself like her friends, her whole body, from her breasts to her peach-shaped butt.

The three friends were giggling, splashing, and making water holes under the dock until the sun had almost completely sunk into the sea. The three came out laughing and soaking wet. They went to get their clothes, which they had left on some nearby rocks, but when they went to get them, they were gone.

" What?" said Sweetie in alarm, covering herself with her hands, " Where are our clothes?"

From behind one of the poles, out came Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

"Looking for something losers?" said DT mischievously.

"Maybe your clothes?" said SP showing that she was holding them.

"Give it back!" demanded AB.

"Give it back?" laughed Diamond Tiara "So soon? Where would the fun be?

From behind other poles, out came Rumble, Tender Taps and Button Mash.

"You girls remember our friends?" Said Silver Spoon "They sure remember you guys a lot."

" How could I forget them." Said Applebloom angrily "Stay away from me Rumble, I already told you I'm not interested in you."

"Ouch... that hurt, really" Rumble said pretending to get a sword stuck in his chest. "You won't even give me a chance to at least try the stuff?"

"Not even sick of wine." Said AB

"Look, let's get straight to the point." Said Diamond Tiara " We are going to play Simon Says. I'm Simon and you girls do what I say."

The crusaders looked at each other and started laughing angrily.

"And then you wake up Tiara. Give us our clothes back!" Said Scoots

"Oh relax, I will, when you do as I tell you... or else both your clothes and these pictures we just took of you naked... will appear all over the city." Tiara said pulling out a camera from behind her and showing the Crusaders who had been hiding all along taking pictures of them.

"Tiara you piece of bitch!" shouted Scoots angrily "Delete those pictures now!"

"All in good time, suckers." She said with a superior air. "First, play, then the pictures."

For a few seconds the crusaders looked at each other and couldn't do anything, neither ask for help nor run away because they had been blocked from the exits by the boys. They ended up nodding.

"What do you want us to do Tiara?" said AB holding back her anger.

"Ahem" coughed Tiara "Simon says, Scootaloo come here."

Scootaloo not feeling confident, hesitated for a few seconds until she approached her.

"Simon says, neither of you move" she said as she approached Scoots.

Tiara and Spoon pushed Scoots causing her to fall to the ground. The girls seeing that tried to go after the two of them, but Tender stopped AB and Button stopped Sweetie.

"Tiara you piece of bitch, if I get my hands on you!" shouted AB struggling unsuccessfully.

Tiara came up to Scoots ear who was scared of what they might do to her.

"This is your sister's fault, I'm sorry." He whispered to her, then kicked her in the face and she and silver began kicking her body, in the face, in the wings, in the belly.

"Stop!" cried Sweetie as she tried unsuccessfully to free herself from Button.

"This for whore!" said Spoon as he kicked her in the stomach.

"Here's for amorphous!" said Tiara kicking her in the wings.

"And this for everything else!" they said at the same time while kicking her in the lower belly (where the ovaries are located) at the same time.

From the pain, Scoots began to tremble and half convulse as she cried disconsolately and suppressing the screams as best she could, lying on the ground.

"Part two" said Diamond Tiara pulling her skirt tightly into place "Simon says, Applebloom, spread your legs.

"No fucking way motherfucking bitch" she said tearfully and angrily.

"I don't take no for an answer..." she said melodically as she showed the camera. "Now, spread your legs."

AB closed her eyes and lay down spreading her legs on her back.

"What an ugly pussy you have girl" muttered Silver with a laugh.

"The ugliest I've ever seen, I don't know why you like it, Rumble" Tiara laughed

"Let's just say pussy isn't my favorite thing to suck on." Said Rumble looking at AB

"Well... if you like plastic... that's up to you" said Tiara "Button, hold Sweetie and Tender tight, immobilize your hands well."

"What the hell are you going to do to me?" said a frightened Bloom.

"Let's just say... you're going to sample the stuff." Said Rumble pulling down his pants, revealing that his member was well erect (19cm) and his testicles well loaded.

"No!" cried Sweetie "Don't let AB!"

"We have no choice." Said sighing AB

"Exactly, because besides, if you guys don't, maybe Scoots will get another kick out of it besides the pictures will fly." She said as she took a picture of Scoots sore body, full of blood and naked as it trembled.

Applebloom, crying, faced from her lying position at Tiara.

" I can tell your father is a fucking gangster." Applebloom said angrily.

"I know, I'm so proud to be his daughter, his drug empire, someday it will be mine. The best thing to do is to practice." She said with an air of grandeur. " Whenever you're ready Rumble."

"We're recording," Silver Spoon said as she began to record the scene on camera.

"How am I going to enjoy this." Said Rumble salivating "And I know where I'm going to start first."

Thereupon, Rumble's mouth opened and devoured AB's right nipple while with his other hand, moved and squeezed the other breast hard.

"Ah" moaned AB unintentionally "Slow the fuck down... AHHHH!

AB cried out as she felt Ruble bite hard on her nipple. He began to run his tongue over her two huge rounded breasts like a dog licking a bone.

"Fuck yeah!" he said lasciviously "Time for a nice starter."

Rumble sat on top of AB and put his cock between the girl's breasts.

"Time for a good tit-fuck!" he said as he cupped her breasts with both hands and flattened them against his erect member. The two breasts, engulfed the boy's long member making him shudder from the heat they gave off.

"Record well SP!" said Button "That then I'm going to do myself a nice homage with that video."

They all grinned wickedly as Rumble began to fuck AB's breasts who had her eyes closed waiting for it all to happen fast.

Lunge after lunge, the tip of Rumble's cock poked out the tops of her breasts as his orgasm face intensified with each time they bounced against his pelvis with each lunge.

"I CAN'T HOLD IT ANY MORE!" she said coming to orgasm.

"IN THE FACE NO!" cried AB helplessly.

The boy's shot of semen completely filled Applebloom's face and part of her breasts, making it slide down it like chocolate syrup on ice cream.

Still, he had only emptied half of it, and was about to finish what he had started.

When his still erect cock recovered from the volcano it had been, the boy's leering face became even worse again.

"AND NOW, THE MAIN DISH!" he said sticking his tongue out like a dog and bringing the tip of his member closer to Applebloom's vagina.

"Button!" said Tiara "Make sure that ugly one gets a good look at her friend getting fucked."

Button threw Sweetie to the floor and made her raise her head immobilizing her body by sitting on top of her. Sweetie could only cry.

Rumble thrust his cock all the way into Applebloom, all the way up to his balls, which made the girl shudder and ache. He began to move his hips more and more intensely, thrusting and thrusting, lifting her legs and putting them on his shoulders to get even deeper. Along with the thrusts, AB's still-prickly breasts bounced in the sunshine of the thrusts as she tearfully and repulsively closed her eyes, wishing for it all to be over.

Rumble took a run, his hips were bucking hard and his wings were pumping with excitement.

"Rumble" Tiara told him with a wicked grin "I think Sweetie is envious of AB's exfoliating cream, let's not be rude don't you think."

"NO PLEASE!" cried Sweetie crying.

"No, better yet" said Silver with the camera still rolling "Let her taste it."

Rumble pulled out his pumping member about to explode from AB and reached up to Sweetie's face who was trying not to, but Button obliged. With his fingers, Rumble opened her mouth and with one thrust, shoved it all the way in.

"THE MILKMAN IS COMING!" he shouted as he cummed in Sweetie's throat who began to choke from the immeasurable amount of cum. It was coming out of her nose, her eyes were rolled back and when he pulled out of her, she began to puke up the ice cream along with the cum she had swallowed.

All the little Gansters started laughing. Silver Spoon stopped filming and walked over to her friend to give her a high five.

"Well ladies." She said grabbing the clothes and throwing it at them. "A deal's a deal."

"But we'll keep the pictures if you don't mind. You'll be able to see how good they looked, when they're even on the news." Concluded Diamond Tiara "Let's go, or we'll be late for our date guys."

The boys released the two crusaders and left after Tiara and Spoon but not before Rumble blew AB a kiss by pulling up his pants.

Sweetie and AB, pulling themselves together, slowly approached Scoots who was wide-eyed and crying.

"I'm *sniff* sorry girls *sniff* I couldn't do anything *sniff*" she said disconsolately.

The three friends hugged each other in tears over what had happened. They then heard footsteps coming from behind them.

"What do you want now Dimond Ti...?" said Applebloom turning around to confront her but it wasn't her, but behind a pole, Spike came out who was watching them with rage in his emerald eyes.

Sweetie and Scootaloo also turned around to see what was happening.

He started to approach them and they couldn't take their eyes off him. Then they saw him put the spy camera in his pocket and bend down to pick up a T-shirt from Applebloom and hand it to her without saying a word.

He looked at the three girls and turned to leave. He guided his gaze to the boardwalk where Diamond Tiara and her henchmen were leaving. From his pocket he pulled out a cigarette and lighter and began to smoke.

"Don't worry about those five anymore." He said in a dark tone exhaling the tobacco smoke. "They won't bother you again."
With that last sentence, he pulled his hood tightly back on and began to follow from a distance behind Tiara and Spoon's group.

The three were again left alone and speechless.

"Uh... do you think we should stop him?" said Sweetie.

"No, actually, I think it's best that right now no one gets in his way" commented Applebloom without looking away from Spike.

"We'd better get our clothes on and go to Twilight and the others." Said Scootaloo

"And try to stop them from murdering Tiara," said Sweetie as she helped Scoots to her feet.

In pain, she leaned on the shoulders of her two friends as they helped her into her pants, though her legs were bruised so they had to go slowly.

"What... do you think he's going to do to them?" said Scoots.

"After what he did to Thunder... I expect something very very bad." Sweetie said sincerely and worriedly.

Spike followed Tiara's group from afar, unnoticed. He pulled out some headphones that he plugged into an mp3 player he had with him and as he continued to smoke, he put on Woke Up This Morning and hiding in corners of the various stores on the boardwalk, watched as they unchained some bicycles.

"You sure had your fun didn't you Rumble?" laughed Button as he unchained his bike.

"Until AB becomes my partner I won't be comfortable Button" he said as he smiled brightly "She's already tried the stuff, all that's left to do is wait for her to come running into my arms."

"By the way DT" said Tender Taps approaching the leader who was laughing at the pictures and video they had taken. "Are you really planning on posting the video and pictures on the net?"

"Oh friend, that's just the beginning." She said with a evil smile "I plan to wallpaper all of Canterlot with them and play the video at the high school. Those suckers will hopefully end up committing suicide and I'll never have to see their faces again."

"I would hope not AB" said Rumble "At least wait until I have a courtship with her."

"You're aiming too low Rumble" said SP "With the amount of hot chicks out there... try her sister if she stays free, a real amazon."

Rumble hesitated for a few seconds until a mischievous grin and lascivious look appeared on his face.

"If you put it that way... I don't mind the change" he said "Besides AB is very whiny and won't stop hanging out with those two... bah, screw her, I'll take her sister."

They all started laughing, oblivious to the presence of Spike, who from a corner overlooking the bike rack, slapped the back of his sneakers, causing wheels to appear on their soles, turning them into Rollerblades.

"Let's go now guys" Tiara said looking at her cell phone "The delivery guy will be at the local any minute and Don Bruto doesn't like to be kept waiting for one of his boys."

"I still don't know why your father makes deals with a nomag Tiara" said SP.

"Don't worry" she said putting the cell phone away and hopping on the back of Rumble's bike. "It's temporary until my daddy has enough power to absorb his business. He's promised to let me execute him."

"Lucky you" Said Silver Spoon enviously getting on Tender Taps bike "Who could kill a nomag..."

The five of them left the parking lot and rode down the coastal bike path that ended at the commercial port of Canterlot, outside of town, unknowingly followed by Spike.

The commercial port of Canterlot City was a huge complex full of industrial and storage warehouses where cargo ships, cruise ships and ships from all over the world came to dock and unload their goods. Huge cranes covered the landscape as well as giant transatlantic liners and tankers.

The five little gangsters dodged the security of the port with ease, followed just a few feet behind Spike. They got off their bikes and went inside one of the numerous warehouses. From the outside, it looked like it had been abandoned for years. The glass was broken, the door was rusted and the windows were full of dust. They all looked to the sides to see if anyone was following them, unaware that Spike was hiding behind a nearby metal box.

They unlocked the padlock that closed the door with a pair of keys and rushed inside. Spike approached the building and using some emergency ladders, climbed to the top of the building, where he inadvertently slipped in through one of the broken windows above.

The inside of the place was very different except for the part where Spike was standing, which was a rusted metal bridge. Downstairs, however, had orange lights, with three leather couches, conference table, a full kitchen, television, and a top-of-the-line computer. Spike pulled out the dragon-shaped spy camera and tapping a scale on the head, began to film in first resolution what was happening and what the gangsters were talking about, using a crank handle built into the camera's tail as a zoom.

"Tender Taps, bring the boxes with the crane, Rumble, get me a champagne from the kitchen and Button, get these pictures and the video inside the computer, Spoon, the TV remote" ordered Diamond Tiara as she lay down on one of the leather couches and from a box on top of a glass table in front of the couch, she took out a cigar. "Anybody got a lighter?"

"Take mine boss" said Tender approaching her with a lit lighter with which he lit the cigar Tiara had in her mouth.

Silver Spoon sat down next to her friend and handed her the TV remote as they waited for the delivery man to arrive.

Button grabbed the camera and ripped the folder with the files into the computer.

"There you go boss, ready for them to be sent." Button said smiling.

"Perfect" Tiara said exhaling smoke from her mouth as Rumble poured a glass of champagne for her and Spoon "Tomorrow afternoon, we'll send it all over town and those bitches will disappear from my life."

Spike lay on the bridge above still recording and glaring angrily at Tiara.

"Keep talking you little slut." He kept saying to himself "Every word is another year in jail."

Within an hour, Tender Taps had arranged in a perfect hemicycle, hundreds of empty wooden crates around the rest area they had built in the center of the warehouse. Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Within an hour, Tender Taps had arranged hundreds of empty wooden boxes in a perfect hemicycle around the rest area they had built in the center of the warehouse. Just then, someone knocked on the door. Tiara snapped her fingers and ordered Tender to open the door. Behind it, a hooded nomag in his thirties, approached and entered along with some hooded nomag thugs also wearing voice modulators and bandanas that covered their entire faces except for their eyes.

" Welcome friends" she said on the couch with a Julius Caesar pose. "I hope you didn't have any mishaps with the stuff."

The thuggish nomag didn't mediate a word as the one who looked like the leader approached Diamond Tiara.

"I didn't expect a child to take care of the delivery." He said in a distorted voice

"Please, I can be trusted, my father has been commissioning me to deliver cocaine for years, I'm a professional." Said Tiara smiling

The gangster stared at her for a few seconds until he snapped his fingers at his goons who went outside.

"If you say so." He said.

Then, the metal delivery door opened and trucks drove in. From inside them, more nomag thugs came out and began unloading sacks full of cocaine, crystal meth and heroin which they began to pack into the wooden boxes.

"Alright" said the gangster taking out a notebook "That's two hundred kilos of cocaine, one hundred of crystal and three hundred of heroin. am I wrong?"

"Not at all" said Tiara as she ordered her henchmen to help unload the drugs. "I hope the stuff is good, especially the cocaine, our customers only expect top quality products."

The Nomag gangster pulled out a pocketknife and ordered a sack of cocaine to be brought to the glass table. As he set it down, he opened it with the knife and pulled out a few grams. Tiara got up, walked over, took the knife and snorted the sample.

"Ah, yes, *sniff* Don Bruto never disappoints." She said scratching her nose a little.

"I hope your father doesn't either." Said the gangster seriously

"We've never let him down." She said smiling wickedly "We won't start now."

Spike walked slowly and stealthily across the bridge, getting a perspective of all the angles with the spy camera and all the people there.

"You and your friends Tiara are going to have a good time in the shadows." Spike said to himself with a grin. "No one messes with what I care about and gets away unscathed, you egocentric bitch."

After they finished unloading, the nomags returned to the trucks and the gangster shook hands with Tiara to close the deal.
"It's a pleasure doing business with the Rich family," said the gangster.

"Likewise" said Tiara

The gangster climbed into the truck and drove off with the others. Tiara turned to her group and high-fived everyone.
"Well, tomorrow my daddies' employees will come and take all this stuff away and spread it around the county. Until then, we'd better get home, it's getting dark." Tiara said looking out the windows seeing the black sky. "Does anyone have any hydroalcoholic gel? That nomag has touched my hand too much.

Silver pulled out a bottle of hydroalcoholic gel from a drawer and handed it to Tiara.

"Thanks Silver" she said washing her hands. "And good job guys."

They all cheered their effort and high-fived again. They grabbed the bikes, headed for the door, turned off the lights and got out of there, leaving Spike inside.

The nomag walked over to one of the upstairs windows and watched the little gangsters leave. A smile formed on his face and he stopped recording.

"You're all doomed." Spike said.

He walked down the stairs and strolled all over the place.

"I can't let all this drug get out of here... but I need physical proof of it..." thought Spike.

He turned his head and saw the crane that Tender had placed the boxes with. He climbed on it and opened the metal door where the truck had come in. He took out three boxes, one with cocaine, one with heroin and one with crystal meth. He deposited them in an alley behind a dumpster and returned inside the industrial building without anyone seeing him.

"I think that with that and what I've recorded will be enough" said Spike "Wait... if I let the video and photos on the computer stay on the cloud they can still upload them..."

Spike walked over to the computer and turned it on. It had a password which left him hesitating for a few seconds.
"If I were Button what password would I set..." he asked himself. "Too obvious... Don't mine at night.

As he typed that phrase into the computer, it opened. Inside were a bunch of files of drug contraband to various phantom entities, all owned by Don Bruto. Spike decided, using a flash drive, to copy those files along with the ones from the camera.

"Button's no fool and there will be a copy in the cloud..." said Spike going into the mail Button had left open. "Too bad my specialty is computer security."

Typing some codes into the computer, he managed to erase the files from the internet forever, leaving the only evidence he had inside the flash drive and the spy camera as evidence.

"Well, that should do it... and now for the fun part," he said as he put his headphones back on and played Gangsta's Paradise with a machiavellian smirk.

As the song wore on, Spike paced the room. He went into the kitchen and opened the fridge. He began to drink the entire bottle of champagne to the beat of the song. When he finished, he threw the bottle on the floor, breaking it into a thousand pieces. Walking around, he found behind some wooden boxes some gasoline canisters. He took one and began to spray each box with drugs while humming happily. As he used up one, he took another. He angrily knocked over the conference table and kicked over the glass table while spraying the couches with more gasoline. He also broke the plasma TV they had there and almost finishing the song, he left the industrial building smoking a cigarette and leaving a trail of gasoline behind him. With the last rhyme of the song, he threw the cigarette into the gasoline and saw how a huge flame of fire ran inside the building that began to burn completely. With a piece of paper and a marker pen he had taken from inside, he wrote: "For Inspector Shinning Armor and Captain Tempest only."

Along with the note, he left the spy camera and flash drive on top of the boxes he had saved as evidence. He pulled his hood back on tightly as he watched the building burn with great satisfaction on his face. Soon, police and fire sirens began to wail in the distance. Hearing them, Spike slapped his sneakers that turned into rollerblades again and left the place without haste, but without pause.

With the rising of a new day, the girls were on their way to the highschool in their cars. In Applejack, Rarity and Dash's car, silence and sadness reigned as the Crusaders were traveling with them and upon knowing what had happened, anger and helplessness were the loudest thing in their homes.

"Well..." said Scootaloo "Are any of them going to say something?"

The three Crusaders were riding in the back three seats of Applejack's van. In the middle was Rarity looking out the window, co-piloting Dash and driving Applejack, both looking forward with sadness on their faces.

"That *sniff* happening to me gets a pass *sniff*" said Rainbow in tears "But getting beaten up *sniff* gets it on tape *sniff* and besides AB and Sweetie the... *sniff*"

"Sis" said AJ somberly "If you hear any screams of spoiled little girl and high school slut queen sometime during the day, calling for help, don't come out."

"Same goes for you Sweetie" said Rarity with fire in her eyes "When I catch Rumble...I'm going to turn him into a eunuch!"
"No Rarity!" said Sweetie "We've already talked about this!"

" WE WILL TALK ABOUT IT AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN FUCKING RAPED AND SCOOTS HAVE BEATEN HIT!" cried Rarity with tears forming in her eyes.

"And we've already told you that if you do anything, they're going to come after you!" cried Sweetie in retoriation leaving everything silent again "And no matter how many powers you have, they are multi-millionaires and very sneaky, they'd ruin you forever.

"We know that sugarcube, but there are some things you just can't tolerate, even from them." AJ said as he turned for the high school parking lot, where Sunset, Twi, Shy and Pinkie were already waiting for them, who were looking at one particular hooded boy who was leaning against the wall across from them and staring at the ground.

"What do you think he did to them?" asked Shy worriedly.

"Knowing what happened to Thunder, nothing nice for sure." Sunset said crossing her arms.

"I only hope for one thing" said Pinkie cheerfully and then suddenly changing to a grim tone. "That he made them suffer."

"For once I agree with your craziness Pinkie." Said Sunset seriously "I hope he made those bonnets pay well for it."

AJ, Rarity, Dash and the Crusaders walked over to the others and stared at the boy as they did.

"Hi girls" said Applebloom looking at Spike.

"Hi girls" they all said at the same time all without taking their eyes off Spike.

"Has he moved or anything?" asked Dash

"Nothing" said Shy "He's already had three cigarettes in half an hour, he's going to get cancer at this rate."

For a few seconds they just stared at him silently.

"Do you think he's watching us?" said Rarity.

"No idea" replied Twi "I don't know what the nomag has done, but it looks like he's... waiting. He never stays out this late, he always gets inside the high school before anyone arrives."

Just then, some bicycles came along the road parallel to the high school. It was Diamond Tiara and her gang.

"There's those bastards." AJ said trying to go after them but being held back by Dash and Rarity.

"Easy Applejack." said Dash glaring at them hatefully.

"Well... it doesn't look like he did anything to them." Said Sweetie

" Yeah... how weird does this all seem to me..." commented Twi.

Diamond Tiara and the little Gansters started chaining their bikes to the reserved posts, right next to where Spike was standing, who didn't even look at them, just took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Hey nomag, can you get the hell out of here?" said Diamond Tiara "Your mere existence repulses me."

Spike didn't move, only a smile formed on his face which was the only visible thing his hood let on.

"Are you laughing at my mangy dog?" said Tiara angrily and getting off Rumble's bike.

"Oh oh..." said Pinkie from the other corner "I think he's going to get his ass kicked."

They all looked worriedly at what was happening in front of them.

Spike started laughing.

"I'm guessing someone wants to die today," said Rumble rabidly, glaring at Spike who, in response, blew smoke in his face. "You're gonna get it nomag son of a bitch!"

Rumble was about to punch him, when from behind the building, a dozen police cars arrived scaring everyone there and arriving at the school, except for Spike.

"DIANA TIARMONTE RICH, SILVIA SPOONER, TEREK BLUEBLOOD, RUMBLE WIND, BUTTER MASHERTROT, DON'T MOVE YOU'RE UNDER ARRESTED!" shouted a female voice from a police car loudspeaker.

The frightened little gansters tried to run inside the building, but a group of pegasus cops intercepted them before they could scramble up the stairs to the entrance. Some unicorn policemen got out of the cars with anti-magic chains and put them on their hands as they were laid out on the ground by the pegasus.

Out of one of the cars, a tall unicorn policeman ( 1.90m) came out, short dark blue hair with light blue tones, light blue eyes. His police badge read Inspector Sein Sparkle.

From the driver's side of the same car, out stepped a unicorn, also tall (1.85m) with a scar over her right eye, long burgundy hair with purple tones and her horn was split in half. Her badge read, Chief Aurora Tempest.

Sein, who everyone called Shining Armor, approached the detainees with a huge angry face. He grabbed Rumble by the collar of his shirt and slammed him against the wall.

"I'VE NEVER FEELED SUCH DISGUST FOR A CHILD IN MY LIFE!" shouted Shining at him.

"HELP!" shouted through tears Rumble "POLICE BRUTALITY!"

Discord then walked out the front door of the institute and upon seeing the scene was stunned.

"Inspector Sparkle what's going on here?" said Discord worriedly.

"Nothing, I'm just ridding you of scum from your institution, headmaster." He said still holding the young pegasus in his grip. "This... disgusting, he's a dirty rapist and a trafficker along with his little friends."

"What?" said Discord dumbfounded.

"Shining" Tempest shouted at him with his arms crossed "That's enough."

Shining threw the pegasus back to the ground along with the others.

"You have the right to remain silent" said Tempest adjusting his police uniform and cap tightly. "Anything you say, can be used against you. Get them out of my sight."

With that said, the other pegasus policemen led the little gangsters towards the cars under the watchful eyes of all the students arriving at the high school.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME, I'M DIANA TIARMONTE RICH!" said DT furiously "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO MY FATHER IS? YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE YOUR HAIR DROPPED OUT!"

"Don't worry shorty." Said one of the police pegasus putting her in a car. "Your father and mother are already waiting for you in the cell, a happy family together in jail."

"WAIT WHAT!" was the last thing Tiara was heard to say once the police car door closed and drove off.

Shining then saw her sister and her friends as they mouthed were in shock at what had just happened. He ran over where they were and went to give his sister a hug.

"Tamara!" he said as he hugged her.

"Shining... what happened? Why are you taking them away?" asked Twilight in shock.

Shining looked to the Crusaders.

"Crusaders!" she said as she rushed over to them to hug them tightly "Are you all right? Did a medic look at you? Did they do anything else?"

"Yeah yeah, we're fine Shining." Said AB a bit flustered.

"I examined them myself and healed Scoots wounds" said Shy.

Shining breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good to always have a healer around." Shining said

"Brother what happened?" asked Twilight.

"Let's just say the whole Rich family is going to spend a few years in jail for drug trafficking, extortion, money laundering and complicity in a rape and a beating." Shining said with emphasis on the last words.

"But... How do you know we've been...?" asked Sweetie quizzically.

"I was hoping you girls would give me that answer." Shining said as he pulled out the dragon-shaped spy camera from his pocket, something that left the Crusaders and Dash frozen. "Last night, we received an emergency call from the commercial port of Canterlot, apparently a supposedly abandoned building burst into flames under strange circumstances. What we found was a burning gasoline drip that led us to a nearby alley where there were three wooden crates with pounds and pounds of drugs and on top of them, a flash drive, this spy camera and a note that said, for Shining and Tempest. Wouldn't you guys know anything? Because inside the pendrive were all the incriminating documents, some photos and videos... grotesque as they come and in the spy camera a video also, very grotesque from another angle and another one where Diamond Tiara is seen, not only in the middle of a drug deal, but accusing her father of being a drug dealer... Don't you know whose camera this could be?"

The four mentioned girls were frozen as the others looked at them quizzically.

"You wouldn't by any chance have the note here, Shining?" asked Sunset.

"Yeah sure" she said as she pulled it out "Do you know whose handwriting it is?"

The girls looked at the handwriting, indeed seeing that it was Spike's. Frozen all of them now, they turned their gaze to Spike, who was still in the same position, only with his face slightly raised and looking at the police cars with a smile. The nomag's gaze turned to theirs and, still smiling, he winked at the crusaders, took a last puff on his cigarette and slowly walked inside the institute.

"We haven't the slightest idea." Sunset said in monotone without taking her eyes off the door through which Spike had just entered, just like all the others, which left Shining completely puzzled.
