//------------------------------// // Dec 30, 2014/ PART 2 // Story: Canterlot High // by Sailor_Pluto //------------------------------// “Sweetie, you should get home quick. The dorm…it’s just been robbed.” Celestia tells me. HO. LY. SHIZBALLS! WHAT KIND OF SICKO WOULD ROB A DORM?! “I’m on my way.” I tell her before hanging up the phone. I ignore the pain from when the girl shoved onto the clothing rack, and I pick myself up. Then, I turn and bolt out of the store. “SWEETIE, WAIT!!!” Button calls after me. I don’t wait. Obviously. I run out of the mall, through the city, past the school, and to the dorm. Outside, there’s an ambulance and a couple of cop cars. The doctors are struggling to pull that cot thing out of the back. My friends and Celestia are all standing around something…I rush over, and see Silver Spoon lying on the ground. “What happened?!” I almost shriek. Celestia pushes everyone out of the way, and the doctors put Silver on the cot. Then, they bring her up into the ambulance and drive away. Celestia leads us all inside the dorm. “I’m sure it’s safe in here now…” she muttered. We all sit in the living room and face Celestia. “What happened?” Tiara asks in a menacing tone. Celestia wrings her hands in her lap. “I’m not entirely sure myself…when I came home from the school, only Silver Spoon was here. I asked if she would be fine for a while, because I had to go grocery shopping and was pretty sure she didn’t want to come with. So, she said she would be fine, and I left. When I was about halfway through my shopping, a had this feeling deep inside of me that something was wrong. I tried to shake it off, and it worked for about twenty minutes. Then, when the feeling was almost gone, and came shooting back through me like a boomerang. I dropped everything that I had grabbed and ran out of the store as fast as I could. When I got back, there was a huge hole in the window-” She points to the window that’s nearest to the door, which barely has any glass left in it. I wince. She continues. “And when I opened the door, Silver Spoon was lying on the ground, knocked out. I called the police and the ambulance, then I called you four.” It’s silent in the dorm for a minute. “Do we know who robbed the dorm?” Scootaloo asked. Celestia shook her head. “No. I tried to get Silver Spoon to talk, but she only muttered incoherently… wait, at one point, she muttered something about the robber having two-toned red and orange hair…” “SUNSET SHIMMER!!!” I scream. Everyone turns to face me. “...Whut?” Apple Bloom asks. “Me and Tiara saw Sunset Shimmer at lunch… I said that maybe she should start dating that blue-haired dude, Flash Sentry, but Tiara said that Sunset was dating him. Then, she glared at us. I think she heard us.” “I highly doubt Sunset Shimmer would rob the dorm just because you suggested Diamond dating her boyfriend. Plus, there are tons of people in Canterlot who have two-toned red and orange hair…probably…” Celestia concludes. Someone knocks on the door. “THE ROBBERS HAVE COME BACK!!!” Tiara shrieks, diving behind the couch and peeking out. “What kind of robber would knock on the door?” I ask, as Celestia answers it. “Why, hello, Button! Whatever are you doing here?” She asks. I freeze. “I’m here to see Sweetie Belle.” he says quietly. “Well, come on in!” she leads him into the living room. He takes a seat across from me. Silence for about fifteen minutes. “Why don’t you two go upstairs to talk?” Celestia suggests. As we head up the stairs, Celestia calls- “And be mature about it!” We head into my room, and take a seat on my bed. “I’m sorry.” he blurts out. “I shouldn’t have let Tiara flirt with me like that…I didn't even realize that she was...” I cut him off with a kiss to his cheek. “It’s all right.” It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Button looks at me. “Really? I mean, I felt terrible! So terrible, in fact, that I threw up a couple of times when I got home.” I make a face. “TMI, Button. TMI.” He twirls his fingers in his lap. “It’s just…you’re the prettiest girl I’ve ever met, and you’re also the nicest…I’m such an idiot, aren’t I? We’re not even dating, and I’m already afraid of losing you!” I look at the floor. “....Well…we could be dating, if you want…” Button nods. “I…I’d like that. Oh, wait! I have something for this!” He digs around in his back pocket, then brings out a small box. He gives it to me. I open it… Inside, there’s an emerald heart necklace. I gasp. “Button… you didn't have to get me this!” He nods again. “Yes, I did. You deserve it. I really like you, Belle. You are the most awesome person I've ever met!” I hug him. “Thanks, Button.” “D'AAAAAWWWWWW!!!” I hear from outside. “Not again…” I mumble. I rush over and open the door, just in time to see Twist and Tiara rushing away. “DO IT AGAIN, AND YOU DIE!!!” I yell after them. “Sorry about that.” I say to Button as I close the door again. “Everyone here is obsessed with romance.” He smirks. “So I noticed.” We both head downstairs, and Button leaves. I spend the rest of the night showing off my emerald heart necklace. Tomorrow, we’re going to visit Silver in the hospital.
