//------------------------------// // A Right and a Wrong and Another Wrong Calculation // Story: The Spark Chronicles: Vol. 1: The Adjustment // by DimondDoggie //------------------------------// "Oh, my god..." Whispered Becky as she ate food from dinner, the one she missed while the ambulance took her away. She had been released from the hospital later that night, when her parents came to pick her up. She had stayed quiet, no matter how many questions they threw at her. She wouldn't talk until she got some answers out of, Jess. Jess had been speechless the entire time, even with all the chaos and shit going on around her. Becky could tell something was gravely wrong, she could never keep her mouth shut for this long. When they got home, Becky practically dragged, Jess into her room for the questioning. In the end, Jessica told Becky everything, the storm, the seizure, the voices... needless to say, Becky was horrified. "I... I did that?" Becky asked her friend, who was currently on her bed, grazing through an old Harry Potter book. Jessica looked up from the book, a grave look in her eye. She casually folded one of the pages corners into a dog's ear. She slowly got up and made her way towards her friend. Becky was a little weirded out by the thought that Jessica was putting into each action. She was used to her friend being 'Kill Action now, questions later,' But you could tell that there was thought put into each action. Then Jessica sped up her steps, until she had her arms wrapped around her friend, in a gentle, loving hug. At first, Becky didn't know what to do, sure, she and Jess had hugged before, but not like this... "I swear, if you ever scare me like that again, I'll beat the hel-- h-heck outta ya!!" Said Jessica as she was... You know that mixture of crying and laughing most of you have been through at least once in your life? Make it happy, then you'll know what the girls were going through. They slowly let go of each other... They looked each other in the eyes... They both felt the happiness start to slip away. They didn't want that, no one would. Then a thought popped into Becky's head. "Hey, do you want to watch... my little pony?" She said the last part in a barely audible whispered. Jessica rolled her eyes at this attempt to get her to watch that STUPID TV show. And she was shocked, most of the time her plans were... filled with more... She didn't know, pizzazz. She slugged Becky on the arm before leaving the room. "Hey, love ya," Jessica said as she left the room and a shocked Becky. ... dot dot dot. DOT DOT DOT! "DID YOU JUST SAY, 'LOVE YA'?!" ~~~~~ "So, heard you went to the hospital yesterday," Said Bailey, the same girl from the first time Becky and Jessica met, still bitchy as ever!!! She had stuck to bullying them after all these years, as well as many other students. She had changed in looks, but not much else. She was now one of the hottest girls in school, probably just cause she had a double D. Becky just rolled her eyes at the popular girl's comment, knowing that it would end in an insult. Becky just decided to walk away, it would be safer for everyone that way. But wanting to make Bailey feel like the insulted one for a change, she quickly turned around and marched up to her. "Yeah, was at the hospital last night," Said Becky in a confident voice, even though in side she was so, as Pinkie Pie would call it, nervicited. "Bad news, they still don't have a cure for bitchiness! But, they had the next best thing: Ducktape!" She threw a roll of ducktape at her as she ran to her third period class, laughing the entire way there. When she arrived at the door, she took a breather. She couldn't believe that she, the one who was always broke up the fight, started a fight was the queen bee herself! Now this was too good to be true. She entered her classroom, an air of confidence around her. Today... is going to be perfect. ~~~~~ "Ha!" Screamed Jessica as she ate her chicken sandwich. Becky had just told her what happened at the beginning of third period, Jessica was loving it! There goes my right to call you a goodie goodie, she thought as she listened to her friend switch from her story of Bailey, to a rant about Ms. Willows totally unfair grading system. Jessica wasn't really listening, so much as just nodding her head when ever Becky took a breath. She looked out at the city, it was a beautiful sight. They were on the roof of their school, it was much easier to enjoy themselves when they were alone. "So, what do you wanna do later?" Asked Jessica once Becky finished her rant. Becky looked at Jessica with surprise. This was starting to freak Becky out. Her being thoughtful once, it's cute. Twice, odd, but not too bad. Three times? Now you're entering freaky town! "What the hell is wrong with you?!" Said Becky as she stood up in front of her friend. Jessica wore a confused look, not knowing what she did wrong. Becky looked into Jessica's eyes. Jessica leaned back, feeling more and more uncomfortable with being stared at. Becky closed her eyes and sighed, realizing how stupid she must look. She looked Jess, trying to understand her, but that was an impossible feat. She could never read into her actions, she was so... illogical. "What did I do?" Jessica asked Becky as she hopped down from the ledge. She looked at her friend, she was crying at the moment. Jessica wondered what she had done wrong. Jessica tried to hug her friend, but Becky backed away from Jessica, as if she had the plague. Jessica just stood there as her friend sat there crying, trying to comprehend what she could have done wrong. She thought she had done so well, being nice, hugging, saying 'Goodnight.' Jessica sat down, as she looked up at her friend, she found that she had started shaking. Not in the way most people do when they cry, but short burst. Becky had a look of sheer horror on her face. "Th-th-this i-isn-n't a-a sei-eizure!!!" Screamed Becky as she started shaking much more violently. Jessica's eyes shrunk down to pin-pricks, knowing what was about to happen. "Beck!" She cried as she held her again. 'Not again! No! ~~~~~ "Twilight!" Cried Apple Bloom as she rushed over to her mentor. Twilight lied on the floor motionless. She was burned in places, and cut and/or bruised in others. Twilight's eyes fluttered open, taking in the wreck that was her lab. She groaned, not out of pain, but frustration. She was still in her lab, not with... "Twi! Are ya hurt? Say somethin'!" Demanded Bloom as she helped the alicorn up off off the ground. Twilight wrapped her wing around bloom to help her regain balance. She held her hoof to her forehead, trying to make the pain subside. She tried to stand up, but fell onto her knees almost instantly. Twilight ear twitched to her right, signalling that something was making noise to her right. "Bloom..." Twilight barely whispered, as she turned around to see a sphere of green light floating three feet off the ground. Bloom turned around to see the orb, a look of horror spreading across her face when she saw it. "I think we have a problem..."
