Every Dark Night Turns Into Day

I stepped out of the darkness of the hallway quietly and watched the flower trio disappear down the hallway with various levels of anger. I had stuck around and listened to their whole conversation. I was frustrated with all parties involved. It was a messed up situation. Honestly just sounds like a giant misunderstanding on everyone involved. But hey, I got to meet Micro Chips due to it some there’s some good in all this. He stepped out of the room and sighed as he walked down the hall. I shouldered my back pack and ran after him.

“Wait up!” I called out and attempted to avoid tripping on my skirt. He turned around with a raised eyebrow and grinned.

“Hey Starlight. I didn’t know you were waiting up for me.”

“Yeah sorry. I uh accidentally heard all of that in there. Are you okay?” I asked cautiously.

“I don’t know,” he admitted finally. “I thought doing all this would make me feel better. I’ve held all this in for years since they made me feel this way. Instead of feeling happy I just feel...”

“Empty?” I offered with a knowing smile. Micro smiled and nodded.

“Yeah empty. You always know what to say Starry. Thanks for being here. It sucks it went this far but I don’t know,” he muttered.

“It did go a bit far,” I admitted. “But! It’s better to get everything out in the open and let them know how you feel. Keeping feelings stuck inside would have just caused you more heartbreak later on.”

“Since when did you get so wise?” Micro teased with a grin. I elbowed him and laughed.

“I’ve always been this way silly. You ever gonna take Roseluck up on her offer of being friends? She did seem pretty heartbroken over all this,” I said and he sighed with a serious expression.

“I don’t know,” he answered. “I want to trust them again. I really do. But it’s kinda hard to. What if this is just a lie so I can get hurt again? They hurt me, Starry and they never would have known if none of this happened. We could be thirty years down the road and they wouldn’t even care nor feel regret.”

“I don’t know about Lily or Daisy but I think Roseluck can be trusted. She seems the more trustworthy and nicest of the trio. I don’t really like Daisy though,” I said and gazed at him. “Did you really like her that way?”

“At one point yeah. But it was like not super serious I suppose. It was a minor admiration I suppose,” Micro said as we kept walking down the hall. “Maybe one day me and Roseluck will reconnect but I just can’t trust any of them right now. We need space. I frankly could live my entire life without ever seeing them again and I’d be happy.”

“Well when that day comes I’ll be there,” I reassured him and grinned. “After all, you would do the same for me. Are we sure that saying they were interested in each other was the best way of going about this?”

“I don’t know anymore,” Micro admitted. “It’s complicated. A lot of emotions about it are going on inside me right now. Yeah sure, I got revenge but revenge doesn’t feel as good as I expected it would be.”

“Because you’re a good person silly. Revenge just isn’t who you are. It isn’t really who I am either to be honest. But we can work through it together,” I announced and smoothed down my skirt. “What are you doing later?”

“Going to rewatch all of Dr. Who and Star Trek. I’ve been meaning to for weeks,” Micro pushed his glasses up as he held the door open for me. “What about you?”

“Oh nothing,” I said casually. “I could be down to join a purple guy at school with glasses watching nerdy tv shows and movies though now that I think about it.”

“Uh who?” Micro asked in confusion. “Not many purple guys at school. Last I checked, only I watched nerdy TV shows and movies.” I groaned quietly and rolled my eyes. He couldn’t catch a hint if it smacked him.

“You silly,” I giggled and nudged him with my hip. “I’m down to come hang out with ya. We can talk about how to fix the Flower Trio situation and you can talk about your science projects you got. I’m sure with our two heads together, we can figure something out about all this big mess!”

“I hope so,” Micro chuckled as we walked to my car. It was tiny four door Dodge Avenger but I loved it. I saved up for months to get it. “You are the smartest girl I know.”

“Well aren’t you sweet?” I smiled happily. “No wonder I have my ion you!” If anyone could pick that up, he could hopefully. And it was science related. Right up his alley.

“Technically I’m not sweet. I’m fairly certain if you tried to eat me, I’d taste gross. Human flesh isn’t the greatest thing in the world to eat I’d imagine. But maybe if I ate candy I might taste sweet,” Micro mused as he opened my door. “Fascinating theory but I’m pretty sure I would rather avoid people eating my body. That sounds rather unpleasant.” I resisted the urge to facepalm and instead smiled at him.

“Thank you for opening my door. I mean, I could always be down to show you what being eaten is like,” I said with a wink and he paused and stared at me over the roof.

“I hope you aren’t a zombie or a cannibal. That would be terrifying,” Micro answered as we sat in the car. May God have mercy on my soul.

“So what now?” I asked curiously. “About the flower trio. What do you think they will do?”

“Probably tell Principal Celestia or Vice Principal Luna. I’ll just accept my punishment. It is what it is. What’s done is done.”

“I agree. And when we get to your house, we can hug and watch movies!” I announced happily as Micro Chips have me a confused look.

“I’m not really good at hugging. Why would we exactly?” I sighed in frustration and turned the car on.

“Boys,” I muttered quietly to myself. I forced a smile on my face as I left the school parking lot.

This was going to be more difficult than I thought.
