Super Nova

  "So, your studying first aid?" Nova asked Octavia as she tended to his cuts and bruises.

  Octavia was concentrated on putting rubbing alcohol on the cut on Nova's cheekbone. "Yeah. I um... Figured that just in case someone gets hurt, I should know how to heal them... I guess it came in handy," surprisingly, Octavia wasn't a shy as usual while taking care of Nova.

  "Yeah. By the way, thanks for doing this. I WOULD'VE asked Fluttershy, to save you the trouble, but I can't seem to find her..." Nova said, frowning.

  Octavia shrugged. "Maybe she and Rainbow Dash went somewhere. I hear there's a Wonderbolt flying show going on today. Maybe Dash took her to go see it," she answered.

  "Yeah, that seems logical," Nova said as Octavia put gave him an ice-pack.

  "Hold that on your eye for about and hour. The blackness of your eye should start fading away after that," Nova pressed the ice against his eye, wincing.

  "...Thanks. By the way, just a random question. What's your favorite song to play on the cello? You don't need to answer if you don't want to," Nova said considerately.

  Octavia frowned, looking sad. "That-...That's hard to say... I guess it's the song you heard me playing when we first met. It doesn't have a name, though..."

  Suddenly, Nova was curious about something. "Oh yeah... What were you doing in the woods, anyway? You know creepers come out at night, right?(1) Something bad could've happened there..."

  Octavia's eyes widened, tears filling them. "I-I could died!? No no no! Oooh, I didn't know it was so dangerous!! I'm so sorry, Nova! Because you walked up to me, you also could've gotten hurt!!! I'm so sorry!!!!!!!!" She wrapped her arms around Nova, apologizing for nothing.

  "N-No! You don't need to say sorry! You didn't do any harm, so why apologize?" Nova said nervously. More nervous than the girl with her arms currently squeezing the life out of him.

  "...Oh..." Octavia let go, blushing. "S-Sorry... Oh, Derpy left this in here when she came over yesterday," Octavia got up and walked hastily over to a brown drawer, shuffling through what it contained. "Ohh... Vinyl, you need to learn how to keep your stuff organized..." The brown haired girl muttered.

  "Aha! Here you are!" Octavia held out a pair of grey glasses to Nova, smiling. "I figured next time you see her, you would give 'em to her, since I'm gonna be locked up in my room for the next 2 days studying for a test I have coming up."

  ....These are the glasses she was wearing in that one picture.... Either my mind is screwing with me, or Derpy's secretly a genius. "Oh.. Y-Yeah..." Nova took the glasses from Octavia and hung it on his shirt pocket. "I'll make sure to give it to her..."

  The room was quiet for a minute, until they heard a knock on the door across from them. "Hello?"

  "Hm?" They heard the door open. "Oh, it's you. Whadd'ya need this time? I'm not giving you anymore candy."

  "No need for candy, Sweetie Drops."

  Nova and Octavia heard a slam on the wall. "FOR THE LAST TIME. IT'S BON BON!!!!"

  Then a laugh. "And for the last time, it's a nickname. Anywho, have you seen a person named White Nova around anywhere?"

  Octavia tapped Nova's shoulder. "He's looking for you. Do you recognize the voice?"

  Nova shook his head. "Nope..."

  Bon Bon shrugged. "No. Last I saw him, he was hanging out with all his girlfriends and Lyra was dragging me to some horse race... Why do you seemed so obsessed with him, anyway? Are you gay or something?"

  "No. I just NEED to see him!" The figure sighed. "Thanks anyway, Sweetie Drops," he then ran away before he could get kicked in the shin.

  "... Well, that was strange..." Nova said.

  Octavia looked up at him. "Do you think you should follow him? If he's looking for, then it would be kind to go for him, don't you think?" Nova nodded.

  The two exited the room, knocking on Bon Bon's door, who angrily opened it. "What do you want AGAIN??...Oh, it's... Nova... Funny. Some guy was just looking for you," she said.

  "Yeah... Do you know his name?" Nova asked with concern.

  "BONNY!! COME BACK TO CUDDLES!!!" A voice cried from within the room.

  "IN A MINUTE, LYRA!" Bon Bon sighed. "That's my girlfriend you hear whining. She's kinda PMSing right now, so she needs me to stay with her at all times," Nova's face turned bright red. Bon Bon shrugged. "He knows practically everyone in school, but no one knows who he is. He showed up one day and started having conversations with everyone," Bon Bon swooned. "He's so nice... But he just wants everyone to call him any river they could think of. Strange, right?"

  "Yeah..." Nova put a finger on his chin. "Which way did he just run off to?"

  Bon Bon pointed down to the right. "Down the hall. Probably to the roof. He spends a lot of time there."

  "Thanks, Bon Bon. See you in History class?"

  She smirked. "You're always the one who drops the textbooks... Sure. See you later," Bon Bon said bye as she closed the door, snuggling back with Lyra.

  "...WE'RE OUT OF ICECREAM!!! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!!"

  "There's some on the table, hun..."

  Octavia held on to Nova's sleeve, like Derpy always does. "Let's go try to catch up to him, okay?"

  Nova nodded. "Yeah, we can probably get him in time..." The two started running in the direction that Bon Bon pointed them to, making their way up the stairs.

  "Oh, hi! Nova is it?" A girl asked who was sitting down on the room, a math book in her hand. There was no one else there besides her.

  "...Twilight? Hi! Haven't seen you in a while!" Nova said, still in a rush.

  "Yeah. I've just been spending most of my time studying.... I miss Spike. I hope he's taking care of the library..."

  Nova ran over to the edge, leaning over. There, he saw a boy with black and white waist length straight hair leaning against the wall. "Octy, he's down below!" Nova and Octavia ran back into the school, ignoring Twilight.

  "Oh... Well... Bye..."(2)

  When the two had made it downstairs, they were stopped by someone else. "Heeeey big bro! Here with one of your girlfriends?" Dash said, appearing in front of the exit.

  "Rainbow, she's not my girlfriend. And I'm REEEAAALLY in a hurry so if you could-"

  "Awww, come on! No shame in hiding such a cute girl, " Rainbow Dash flapped her wings, floating in the air. "She's cute, but Flutters can easily top her!"

  "..." Octavia stayed silent.

  "Yeah yeah, whatever. But Rainbow, I need to go!!!"

  Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. "Why? Need to meet another one of your girlfriends? You're such a ladies boy. How'd a guy like you get so many sexy girls to fall in love with you?"

  "Rainbow, I'm sorry, but-" Nova shoved Rainbow Dash out of the way.

  "Ow! You egghead, I landed on my wing- Hey, where are you going?" Nova and Octavia had already exited the school, just to see the boy running away.

  "H-Hey!!! Wait!!!" Octavia yelled.

  "Don't leave just yet!" Nova shouted, hands cupped around his mouth.

  For a split second, the boy looked back, his crystal blue eyes catching Nova's blank ones. A faint smile spread across his face as he turned back around, running away as the sun set.

  Nova's arm slowly dropped down. "....No way... It's...him..."

  Octavia looked up at Nova, who had tears in his eyes. "Nova... Are you OK?"

  He dropped to his knees, hands over his eyes as tears spilled out of them. ...It can't be... The three words echoed throughout his mind, Octavia trying to get him to stand up, and failing miserably.

  "OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!!!! I SAW HIM!" The boy squealed. "I can't believe it, he ACTUALLY came after me!" He had a sudden change of personality. "No... I must wait... For in exactly two days... We shall be reunited..." The boy then twirled on one leg. "Ooooh, I can't wait!! I love him so much!" He stopped spinning and hugged his arms, blushing like mad.

   "Nova... In just two days, we'll finally see each other again!!!"
