A couple of days have passed since the exile of the harpy trio aka Raven, Blair, and Hilda who also got disowned by their own families, and the responsible brave hero was expelled for it. Things at Crystal Prep weren’t the same after that, especially for Turquoise. A small amount of the students hated her for getting Soliman expelled for his heroic actions while the majority understood that Turquoise only did what she felt was right. But despite that Turquoise and her friend went on with their lives. Today’s story begins at the Anime Club’s clubroom where Ace, the club leader, made an announcement.

“ I have exciting news everyone,” Ace said before continuing. “ Yesterday I was approached by Kazuma Nijima.

“ The famous manga critic?” Turquoise asked remembering hearing about him in a magazine she read.

“ The one and only,” Ace said before continuing. “ He saw our first installment of Blade Lollies and after explaining the plot to him he not only gave our manga a 7.5 out of 10 he also gave me some pointers on how we can improve the series.

“ Like what?” Calico asked.

“ For instance including more main characters, Of course, Turquoise will still be the lead protagonist of the series but she will be sharing the spotlight with others from now on,” Ace said.

“ I don’t mind,” Turquoise said.

“ So does that mean?” Pettilite asked hoping the answer was yes.

“ That’s right it’s time for you two to step up to the plate and luckily I managed to finish the sketch of our next character yesterday,” Ace said before showing everyone a picture of what looked like Pettilite in a short black and white lolita dress with an emblem of a white Rabbit with a black diamond around the red-eye on her right sleeve, a white cape style hood, Black boots, and A buster sword almost as big as her.

“ Is that me?” Pettilite asked.

“ You bet,” Ace said. “ This is Alice Lilybell a member of the Assualt Legion. Calico got to work on the costume straight away while Ace explained the rest of what Kazuma told him, including some antagonists, and flesh out the world of the manga some more. “ Ok ladies since you three are the stars of Blade Lollies what would you like to see included.

“ I’ve always been a sucker for cute guys, maybe have my character fall in love with them,” Sapphire suggested.

“ You mean shipping right?” Ace asked.

“ Exactly,” Sapphire said.

“ Sounds good,” Ace said while writing the suggestion down. “ What about you Pettilite?

“ Maybe show the daily lives of the characters like maybe Alice when she is not in battle is probably doing princess stuff in her quarters,” Pettilite suggested.

“ Love it,” Ace said while writing it down. “ And you Turquoise?

“ Not sure what else we could include battle-wise but maybe from time to time we could just focus on Slice Of Life chapters,” Turquoise said.

“ Anything in particular?” Ace asked.

“ Maybe something like a sports festival or a pageant,” Turquoise suggested.

“ Those sound perfect for special editions,” Ace said while writing it down. Calico called Turquoise over to her workspace for something.

“ How good are you at sewing?” Calico asked.

“ I learned from my mom Ruby Chance,” Turquoise said.

“ The Ruby Chance as in the fashion designer Ruby Chance?” Calico asked starstruck.

“ I sure do, Of course, she goes by Ruby Bullet now after she married my new step-dad,” Turquoise said.

“ In any case mind taking over for me while I work on Alice’s buster sword?” Calico asked.

“ Not a problem,” Turquoise said. Luckily Calico managed to finish the complicated part by assembling the ruffles and lace of the dress along with making the hood. all Turquoise had to do was sew the sleeves and custom patch on. Turquoise managed to complete the task within three minutes while Calico and Rick finished making a black buster sword with red trim and three rubies embedded into the blade. Sometime later Calico called Pettilite over so she could change into her new outfit. A few minutes later Pettilite came out looking cute.

“ You look, adorable,” Sapphire said.

“ Thank you,” Pettilite said.

“ Ok Pettilite time to begin posing for the cover,” Ace said while asking her to hold her buster sword with both hands in front of her like she was about to strike.

“ Why does my character have a Buster sword? Wouldn’t it be too heavy for her?” Pettilite asked.

“ The Assualt Legion specializes in powerful attacks making them the second wave for the Vanguard Legion who makes the first strike, And Alice is one of those little girls who packs a lot of power in her small body,” Ace explained.

“ Dainty and powerful, I like it,” Pettilite said before doing the pose she was requested to do while surprised that her sword was not as heavy as she thought it would be.

“ That sword is made of plywood so it’s not as heavy as a real Buster sword which would weigh at least five times as much as that prop,” Rick explained. Turquoise also changed and posed along with Pettilite on certain panels. As soon as the panels were done Turquoise changed back into her uniform while Pettilite remained in her costume.

“ Yes you can keep the costume but the props stay here,” Calico said.

“ Thank you,” Pettilite said. With today’s club meeting now finished everyone went home for the day. As soon as Turquoise got home she got started on her math and science homework. As she was doing it she got a call from Dan and answered.

“ Hi Dan,” Turquoise said.

“ Hey, Turq how are things at school so far?” Dan asked.

“ A little rocky to be honest,” She said.

“ Why?” He asked.

“ There were these three girls who were bullying both the students and the faculty,” She said.

“ That’s awful I hope you’re ok,” He said.

“ The Leader of the three landed me in the hospital and almost caused me to die from a concussion but luckily the administrators found me and called an ambulance,” She said.

“ You mentioned they were also bullying the faculty how exactly were they doing it?” He asked.

“ The leader Raven Stone was the daughter of Canterlot City’s Mayor and would threaten to use her former connection to get what she wants,” She explained.

“ Former?” He asked.

“ My friends and I planted drugs in Raven’s locker and managed to get her suspended for a month while also taking all that power away from her,” She said without realizing Dan was not too pleased about the drug part.

“ Please tell me you’re not a drug addict,” He said in a very displeased tone.

“ Relax it was my father’s idea not mine and I am so against drugs,” She said.

“ That’s a relief,” He said.

“ Anyway sometime later her two friends Blair and Hilda threaten me and I pushed back with a warning,” She said.

“ And let me guess you set them up for suspension as well?” He asked.

“ They did get suspended for a week but this time my friends and I had absolutely nothing to do with it,” She said.

“ What happened?” He asked.

“ This boy named Soliman painted a porn piece of Principal Cadence on the eastern side of the school and Blair and Hilda’s names were on it,” She said.

“ Didn’t you try to defend them?” He asked.

“ I wish we could have but the spraypaint was planted in their lockers and with no other pieces of evidence there was nothing we could do,” She said.

“ How long until they return?” He asked.

“ Here is the grim part, They are never coming back,” She said.

“ How come?” He asked.

“ Soliman somehow knew about the conditions of Raven’s grounding and somehow planted the same idea into Blair and Hilda’s parent’s minds,” She said.

“ By any chance was this Soliman boy’s last name Means?” He asked.

“ Why yes it was, How did you know?” She asked.

“ I knew him during my Senior year at Crystal Prep when he was just a freshman,” He said before continuing. “ He was a big geek who loved superheroes and wanted to be one so he would always stick up for those in need when no one else will but he always took his sense of justice too far and often ended up in trouble for it, It’s a real miracle he wasn’t expelled by now.

“He was expelled after I exposed his wrongdoing,” She said.

“ I thought you wanted those three girls gone?” He asked.

“ I did but not like this, Raven may deserve this kind of punishment but Blair and Hilda did not since they were just accomplices and had no real power,” She said.

“ What’s done is done,” He said.

“ But enough about my school, how are things at Mali-U?” She asked.

“ Pretty good I’m doing good in my classes and currently relaxing in my dorm room,” He said.

“ That’s good to hear,” She said.

“ Anyway back to the reason I called. since tomorrow is the weekend and I have no plans I was wondering if you would like to come over to Mali-U and go out somewhere?” He asked.

“ Sure I have nothing going on,” she said.

“ Great, I’ll text you the address in a bit, stay safe,” He said before hanging up. With the call now over Turquoise returned to her homework.

The next day Turquoise woke up and got dressed in a light blue tank top that had the words “ Ice Queen” written on it in glittery black letters in a girly font with some white girl’s shorts and ice-blue three-inch heels. After putting her new fang earrings on she grabbed her bag and ran out the door. As soon as she reached the Foyer Ruby saw her.

“ Where are you off to today?” Ruby asked.

“ To Mali-U, Dan and I have a date,” Turquoise said.

“ You be careful out there,” Ruby said before Turquoise left. After entering the garage and opening the door she saw Bullet.

“ Where are you off to missy,” Bullet asked.

“ To Mali-U to see Dan,” Turquosie said.

“ Ok but please be careful and stay away from the fraternities,” Bullet said.

“ Fraternities?” Turquoise asked.

“ You will learn about it when you start college but let’s just say A fraternity is a house full of men who waste all their time Drinking, Partying, and Banging Chicks,” Bullet said hoping to spare Turquoise from ever feeling that last part.

“ Got it,” Turquoise said. With that warning in mind, Turquoise got in her car and entered the address for Mali-U which was revealed to be close to Beverly Hills which was about less than two hours away. As she was driving she decided to play some music and her first song was Torch of Liberty by Kanaboon. The drive was a long one but Turquoise made it and parked in the visitor parking lot. Before she could enter the campus a security guard stopped her.

“ Are you a student or visitor?” The guard asked.

“ Visitor,” Turquoise said.

“ What’s the purpose of your visit?” The guard asked.

“ I’m here to see Dan Skycroft,” Turquoise said before the guard checked his list of approved visitors.

“ Ah yes you must be Turquoise Dusk Mr. Skycroft is waiting for you at the cafe,” The guard said. After getting directions to the cafe Turquoise entered the campus and found Dan.

“ Looking good Turquoise,” Dan said.

“ Thanks, Dan,” Turquoise said.

“ So I was thinking we go to the movies today is there anything, in particular, you wanted to see?” Dan asked.

“ Well there is this one movie that just came out,” Turquoise said. “ It’s called Starfox Adventures The Movie.

“ I played the game when I was a kid but I never thought they would make a movie about it,” Dan said.

“ So can we see it?” Turquoise asked.

“ Sure,” Dan said. Dan and Turquoise left for the downtown area and found the theatre. Luckily the line was not very long and they managed to reach the front.

“ Two for Starfox Adventures the Movie,” Dan said while paying for the tickets. After grabbing the tickets the couple went to the snack bar to get some popcorn and drinks. After getting their snacks they looked for theatre nine which was where the movie was. After finding it they took a couple of seats in the middle section. With some time before the movie started dan thought it was a good idea to engage in some conversation while he could. “ So have you ever played the game before?

“ My birth father owned it and even let me play it even though it was rated T,” Turquoise said.

“ So who is your favorite character from the game?” Dan asked.

“ It would have to be Krystal,” Turquoise said.

“ I can of figured it would be,” Dan said.

“ And your favorite character?” Turquoise asked.

“ Fox Mccloud,” Dan said.

“ Very cool,” Turquoise said.

“ I know right,” Dan said.

“ So how is college going for you?” Turquoise asked.

“ Except for some minor teasing from some of the students who don’t like the LGBT Community everything is going great,” Dan said.

“ I’m guessing they don’t approve of you dating a transgender,” Turquoise said.

“ I don’t care what they think, rather your real or fake your my girl and I would never trade you for anyone else,” Dan said.

“ I’m always happy to hear you say that,” Turquoise said while rubbing up on him lovingly.

“ I see you have been learning how to flirt with a boy,” Dan said.

“ Serena has been teaching me since she is an expert on love,” Turquoise said. Before they could talk more the lights went off and the movie was about to begin. Turquoise stayed close to Dan as the trailers began to play.
