Scootaloo had just finished taking a shower and started searching her dresser for suitable clothes to wear, the water that soaked her hair began dripping out causing her to dry it with her towel. She pulled out her clothes for the day and began to get dressed.
After that she brushed her short purple hair to make it the way she always had it, her mind raced with questions from last night when Midnight had took down the two guys that had attacked her. But she ignored them and set the brush down looking at herself in the mirror and smirked.
She turned to check the time. 6:30 She softly smiled, grabbing her bag and exited her room closing the door behind her.
As she passed by the front desk she stopped and checked in with the man out front. "I'm heading out."
The man smiled. "Be back by curfew this time." He warned.
Scootaloo opened the doors and stared up at the Celestia's sun, she softly sighed. 'Thank Celestia it's Sunday.'
She was on her way to Sugar Cube Corner to meet her friends for another day of dares and games that would probably lead to injury, but that was the rush she loved that she had picked up from her idol Rainbow Dash. 'Laugh in the face of danger.' She said she learned that from some awesome person but Scootaloo thought it was still cool hearing it from her. Scootaloo watched the people walk with their emotions brightened at something, she thought it was just a happy day. Ever since crime had originated within the town everyone would seem a bit more glum, Scootaloo never really bothered with it so she clearly ignored the expressions from the others and continued down the path to Sugar Cube Corner until she could see it in the distance.
The closer she got the more she noticed the people cheering from inside, it seems everyone got a day off and decided to spend it on partying. As she entered the building she noticed it was a little bit of a mess from the group that was continuing to create it, but she continued to scan the room to find Applebloom and Sweetie Belle waving her over from the far side of the room.
Scootaloo let out a sigh and smiled as she began heading over to her friends and passing the crazed group of people laughing and joking around with the rest. She sat down at the table that they were in. "So, what's on today's agenda?" Scootaloo asked casually, leaning back in her chair.
Applebloom shrugged. "A day of relaxation?"
Scootaloo chuckled and shook her head as she leaned back up. "No no no, we have to do something."
"How about talking? Me and Applebloom aren't really in the mood for anything crazy today." Sweetie shrugged.
Scootaloo sighed, her eyes closing as she began to think. "Fine... But what should we tal-" She stopped and opened her eyes when she heard a familiar voice behind her. She turned her head towards the voice to see Midnight sitting next to a window with a phone to his ear while glancing out the window, the look on his face was like he was irritated about something. She slowly turned in her seat as she continued to look at him and decided to listen to his conversation only to be disappointed by the results.
"What are you having me do, friend?" He asked, pausing for a few seconds before responding to the caller. "Fine," He took the phone off his ear and hung up, he sat back and rubbed his face with both hands before standing up and leaving the Sugar Cube Corner
Scootaloo smirked, turning to her friends. "Okay, you guys do something boring. Bye!" She hurried whiled getting off of her chair and proceeded to follow Midnight.
"Is she doing what I think she's doing?" Sweetie asked Applebloom.
"Yup..." Applebloom sighed, turning to her friend. "Getting into something she shouldn't be." Applebloom softly smiled. "That's Scootaloo."
**An Hour Earlier**
Midnight stopped at the door to his boss's office and leaned to the side to look through the window cautiously just in case if he wasn't done having fun, luckily it seemed he was.
He knocked on the door and awaited a response, once given he grabbed the door handle and pushed the door open. The boss was sitting in his desk, shuffling his cards as he read the newspaper. He looked up and once he saw Midnight he slowly smirked. "About time you got here, I was about to call for you." The boss got up out of his seat to reveal his tall and buff body structure, He wore a black leather jacket that matched his dark skin and red eyes.
Midnight sat down and let out a long sigh. "Just had a talk with Iris."
The boss chuckled setting down the deck of cards on his desk.. "How'd that go?"
Midnight shook his head. "She gave me a stern talking to."
The boss chuckled and stood up reaching in one of his desk drawers to pull out a bottle of scotch. "Do you drink?" He asked.
"No." Midnight calmly said.
The boss began to pour the scotch into a glass cup. "How have you been?." He took a swig of the drink, cringing at the taste.
Midnight closed his eyes and turned his head away. "It's been a tiring couple of days ever since the Dragons came."
The boss chuckled and sat down in the seat next to Midnight. "Well, I've got something that might just cheer you up." He reached into his pocket and pulled out something handing the object to Midnight.
Midnight looked to see it was a very expensive phone. Confused on how he got it, Midnight took it and smiled. "Thanks, what's this for?" He asked.
The boss pointed at the phone, taking another drink of the scotch. "Turn it on."
Midnight paused for a second before looking down at the phone and turned it on. As it pulled up it had a message that was planted onto screen. 'Sugar Cube Corner. Call Contact When There.' Midnight raised an eyebrow as he looked back up at the boss. "Do you know who the contact is?" He asked.
The boss smirked. "He is the new tech guy, he has his eyes on you specifically and wants to test you to see if you are the real deal."
Midnight slightly nodded as he looked back at the phone. "What for?" He asked as he studied to message.
The boss shrugged before looking up at Midnight. "Just head to the location and he'll give you a job to do, this time you won't have to take orders from me."
"Yeah, gives me every reason to relax." Midnight joked, earning a punch from the boss.
"Quit joking." The boss smiled. "Now go, he's not going to wait all day."
"Okay boss." Midnight got up from his seat and turned to the boss. "Also, when you are going to have some fun close the damn blinds." Midnight joked again.
The boss smirked. "Maybe I like to be watched." He joked right back.
"See yeah boss." Midnight had enough and left the office, the boss finished his drink with a refreshing sigh and went back to his desk.
Midnight began to make his way to the location that he was given on the phone, leaving the warehouse and going down the road towards Sugar Cube Corner.
Midnight passed by some people that seemed a bit happier than yesterday, it seemed that it was a more happy day than usual for some people. It got Midnight a little curious but figured it was just some occasion, lets hope it's a good one for them.
Midnight entered Sugar Cube Corner and found a large group drinking, cheering, staggering, and laughing. Midnight stared at the group for a couple of seconds before heading far away from the crowd to sit down next to a window, he waited for a just a few seconds as he prepared himself for what he had to do. He let out a sigh and pulled out the phone and called the contact.
He put it up to his ear to where the ringing was coming from and waited for the ringing to stop. "I'm her-."
"I know, I have a tracker on the phone so I know where you are at all times." A sound of a young male spoke and the sound of keys clacking could be heard within the white noise that was coming from the phone.
"That's not creepy at all." Midnight said sarcastically.
"Are you going to help me or not?" The man asked.
Midnight scoffed. "How about we start by telling me your name?"
"I'm just a friend."
Midnight closed his eyes and groaned. "That's not a good answer."
"Well it's the only one I got so deal with it."
"Enjoying being a jerk?" Midnight asked as he began to be annoyed.
"I wouldn't have to be a jerk if you wouldn't have been callous."
Midnight paused, having a hard time responding to that. So, he let out a soft sigh before speaking. "I'm sorry,"
"You don't trust me, I get it. But if you are willing to take down the Dragons as much as I am then you'll have to trust me. Sound like a deal?"
Midnight sighed, closing his eyes before responding. "Okay, what's the job?"
"I'll be sending you the locations of where you need to go and I'll tell you what you need to do from there, it'll be like playing that treasure hunt game as a kid."
Midnight looked out the window, pausing for a moment before responding. "What are you having me do, friend?"
"Just follow my instructions and I'll explain everything, I'm sending you to the first location. Then I'll send what you need to do when I see you've gotten there. Good luck."
Midnight sighed. "Fine." He took the phone off his ear and hit end, he raised both of his hands and rubbed his face before getting up out of his seat and leaving Sugar Cube Corner.
Midnight stopped at the entrance, then he felt the phone vibrate in his pocket and pulled it out, after turning it on and he read what was on the screen 'The Kiss Inn.' Midnight was giving a confused face as he began walking. He knew where that place was but he didn't know why he was being sent there, guess he'll find out when he gets there.
****
The group finally settled down after laughing and dancing and finally decided to discuss serious matters. "I'm tired of the gangs in our town!" The first guy exclaimed.
"Yeah!" The rest cheered.
The first guy smiled. "That's why I got a plan."
The second guy intervened. "We can't do anything to them, the police are just going to take us down instead of the gangs."
The third guy joined in. "That's why we create a plan where the police won't find out it's us."
The first guy stood up. "We know where one of them lives and their the right hand man of the Jaguars, he was here not too long ago. We go there and then we know what to do from there. We wait till early in the morning before we go there, that way he is asleep the first chance we get. The whole town is joining in on it."
The third guy stood up. "What are we going to do if you don't mind me asking?" He asked.
The first guy chuckled. "We burn the place he lives in.."
