With a sigh, I flung my backpack onto my couch and collapsed next to it. I grabbed the TV remote off my slightly worn out stand stand and started flicking through channels. While my apartment may be on the older side and run down on the rough part of Canterlot, it was home.

My parents and I never really saw eye to eye, especially when they found out I wanted to be a magicians assistant. Don’t even get me started when me, Trixie and Fuschia started The Illusions. I thought dad would have blown his head off in anger. They wanted me to go into business like they did. Business sounds boring. Magic sounded way cooler ever since a magician came to my seventh birthday party.

I still remember how me and Trixie met. Freshman year in the cafeteria. She was working on card tricks and had a small crowd of five or six people around her. That’s also where I met Fuchsia. We had both been blown away by her card tricks. We’ve been friends ever since.

Say what you want about Trixie, but she’s a good person. She had felt pretty bad she couldn’t pay either of us for being in the band or helping with magic shows. Not that many people showed up but hey, it was fun and a good experience. We didn’t care about the money. Sure, she wasn’t always this way but people can change. Hell it got so bad once, me and Fuchsia debated going it alone and doing tricks as a two women show but Trixie had gave us properly the greatest apology I’ve ever seen. Fuchsia planned most of our shows while I mixed and created our fireworks. I will admit, most didn’t go to plan but a majority did and that’s what matters.

Anyway, after my parents found out about the whole magic show side business thing if we could call it that, they had been less than happy. So ya know, got a job as soon as I could and got legally emancipated as soon as was possible. Surprisingly the judge agreed and boom, I was living on my own and supporting myself. It’s a great feeling really.

“Well this is boring,” I mumbled to myself. “I wonder what Brawly is doing.” I mainly kept to my small group so it was a freaking wonder I got a boyfriend. Especially one in Flash Sentrys band. One of the most liked people in the school. I will admit, I did find the anon a miss post calling him a horsefucker pretty funny. Maybe Fuchsia would be down to go hang out with him too. We haven’t really hung out because we were working double and triple time to clear Sunset’s name. I reached for my phone as I smoothed down my black leggings, brushing some dust off them.

”Hey Lav,” Fuchsia’s voice came from the other end. She sounded cheerful as usual.

“Hey you up to go hang out with Brawly? I got a key and everything after all.” I glanced out the window at the setting sun over my little suv sitting on the street. I waited while I heard her humming in the background. She always hummed when thinking for some odd reason.

”Yeah I’m down. I’ll be there in ten minutes to come get you.”

I sighed as I brushed a strand of my blonde hair out of my eyes as I stepped out of my apartment, locking it with my key before continuing down the street. I quickly opened Fuchsia’s car down and sat down.

“Hey thanks for picking me up.” She smiled warmly as she turned her car back on. Why she turned it off, I’ll never know.

“Hey no problem,” she glanced both ways before going straight. “I needed some excitement.” I gave a nod as a faint cough got my attention from the back seat smd I looked back. A girl with messy green hair and jeans sat with a striped sweater.

“Hey Wallflower!” I grinned at the girl. She flinched and stared at me in shock.

“Y-you can see me?” She asked quietly in awe. I tilted my head and gave her a confused look.

“Uh yeah? We both can,” I said in confusion. “Why?”

“Nobody ever sees me,” she mumbled and stared out the window.

“Well we can,” Fuchsia reassured her as she glanced at her in the rear view mirror. I gave her a smile before turning back to look out the front windshield.

“I didn’t know you were bringing your sister,” I commented as Wallflower kept watching the trees and buildings out her window.

“Yeah sorry. I just wanted to get her out the house. I worry about her, you know? She spends so much time in her room with her plants and never goes outside unless it’s to buy more plants or get gardening supplies. I caught her talking to her cactus the other day,” Fuschia admitted as she kept driving.

“Interesting,” I mumbled. I barely saw the green haired girl whenever I went over. She was so quiet she just snuck around all the time.

“If I didn’t see her at dinner and when we had to go to school, I honestly wouldn’t know I had a sister. She’s scarily quiet,” Fuchsia commented as we parked outside my boyfriends apartment. “Wanna come with Wally?” She pocketed the car keys and looked in the back seat.

“No thanks. I’m gonna be reading back here,” Wallflower said quietly as she held up a gardening book. Me and Fuchsia looked at each other and shrugged as we opened the car doors and stepped outside. We quickly bounded up the stairs and I unlocked his front door, walking in.

“What is that noise?” Fuchsia asked with a confused face at the moaning coming from his room. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

“He’s probably masturbating. Let me go in before you,” I told her as I pushed open the door to his room. “Hey Brawly what’s up-” I paused as he quickly covered himself as the girl in his bed fell off the side. “What the fuck?”

“Lav? What’s going on?” Fuchsia peeked over my shoulder and her eyes widened. “Woah.”

“What are you doing here?” Brawly Beats shouted. “You should have called!” My ears turned red as I felt anger wash over me.

“You cheating bitch! Who is that skank?” I demanded furiously as I stepped forward and yanked the blanket off her.”Aqua Blossom, you whore!”

“I’m sorry!” She screamed. “Please don’t hurt me!”

“Oh I’m gonna hurt you after I cut his dick off!” I fumed as I felt Fuchsia grab my shoulder. “What the fuck dude? Why cheat on me man? I gave you everything!”

“You’ve been gone for God knows how long doing God knows what!” He grumbled. “Just because you decided to not have sex until marriage or whatever doesn’t mean I can’t!”

“We’ve been helping Sunset prove her innocence!” I screamed. “Are you kidding me?” He scoffed and looked away.

“Oh that bitch. Fuck her. She ain’t worth it.” I would have slapped him if Fuchsia wasn’t holding me back with a angry expression of her own.

“Let’s go Lav. He ain’t worth the jail time.” I nodded as she pulled me back into his living room. I paused and yanked the key to my apartment off his car keys and shoved it in my packet. I quickly threw my key to his apartment on the counter and stormed off down the stairs after Fuchsia, slamming it behind me.

“Take me to Trixie’s please.”
