//------------------------------// // Rejection // Story: Waters: Equestrian Gangster (Original Version) // by King Genesis //------------------------------// W Canterlot High's Hallway W and Pietro are now walking in the school's hallway going to the exit. "Was that thing in the cafeteria necessary?" says Pietro. "Yes, that friend of you really deserved it," I answer. "Now, go to the entrance's door and stay there. I will go for Jack... if you move only one inch, I will find you and leave you with no teeth, like you just said." Celestia's Office Celestia and Luna are drinking a cup of tea while talking to Jack. "Are you sure that kid, W, will handle the situation in the cafeteria?" asks Celestia. "Yeah," responds Jack. "He will handle that perfectly." "And why are you taking Pietro out? Did he do something?" "No. It's just a thing from his family." "The Plegovichs?" asks Luna. "Yes," says Jack. "They have been ruling Equestria since Seductive's resignation, right?" asks Luna. Jack nods his head hardly believing that the sisters know so much about the mafia in Equestria. "Wait..." says Jack. "How do you know that? That's quite specific." He actually knows why, but he doesn't want them to know about that time where he was in a Fall Formal under a fake identity. "Um... well. It is complicated," says Luna. "We are Cosmos' daughters." "Oh..." says Jack. "Cosmos, yeah... the Clock guy. Now I know why you hate Gordo." There is a story behind all of this. Before Gordo, there was Cosmos in Canterlot. Gordo wanted his city and tried to bring down Cosmos. That turned into a gang war which everybody knows as the Canterlotian Gang War, where Gordo won and obtained his kingdom. Cosmos, however, was left in the dust... he didn't die in the war but his wife, Galaxia, did. "Yeah..." says Luna. "Gordo... that stupid bastard... anyway, we were talking about Pietro... Let's go back, please. I just don't wanna talk about this..." "I'm afraid they are turning him into a gangster," says Celestia. "His uncle is such a psychopath... I won't be shocked if I find out he is training him." "He is doing that, actually," says Jack. "And I don't like it. Pietro is not an appropriate dude for the mafia, and also they are forcing him to enter, so this is worse..." "Plegovich may be scared and wants to train his whole family, who knows..." says Luna. "Maybe that Gordo rat is trying to sit on his chair." "Gordo?" says Jack. "No. Gordo is loyal. There are lots of people who hate Plegovich but Gordo is not one of them." "We hate Plegovich," says Celestia. "And we also hate Gordo. I think you hate them both too. Don't you?" Jack smiles and then nods his head, revealing his true intentions. Celestia chuckles while rising from his chair and then W opens the door. "Everything is solved," says W. "The only problem is that shit happened during the task." Jack sighs while rising from the chair he was sitting on. "What did you do now?" "Um... I entered while Pietro was arguing with this girl, Rainbow Dash, and I broke some douchebag's nose." "What?" says Luna. "How could you--?" "Calm down," interrupts W. "It's only a nose. Besides, it was in self-defence." "But... was breaking his nose necessary?" asks Jack. "Whose nose did you break?" "One of Pietro's friends. Little Ace..." says W, and then he starts laughing. "Little Ace... pathetic." "Little Ace?" asks Celestia, surprised. "Oh yeah, a special name around these classrooms... a crazy pervert. He manipulated lots of girls here to get their nudes... he also tried to manipulate both of us..." she says, while laughing. "Come on! Why would you get some photos of me? How can you be so hungry for some stupid photos?" Luna, W and her start laughing while Jack stays in silence and the gangsters leave the office after greeting the sisters. Outside Celestia's Office "I mean," says W. "You mean what?" "That Celestia and Luna thing. Little Ace tried to..." "Yes, I know," answers Jack in a really bad way. "Bloody rascal." "Yeah, but... you know. If Luna, or... well, Celestia, of course... If they were younger... I'd bang them." "What the fuck are you talking about?" says Jack, angrily. W smiles and starts laughing. "Are you jealous?" says W, while nudging Jack with his elbow. "Of what?" "Of me, Jack... come on! You wish you had my physical appearance! My body is perfect!" "You are thinner than a portion of spaghetti, W." "Uh, come on! I'm that skinny?" "Yes," says Jack. Both of them keep walking until they find Pietro. However, W touches Jack's shoulder and looks at him, while smiling. "What happened now?" "You are jealous." "Are you kidding? I've already told you I am not!" "No, no... not jealous of me. You are jealous of any man that tries to touch Lu... no, Celestia, isn't she? Aren't you, you fucking jerk?" Jack grabs W's trenchcoat and crashes him against some lockers. "Don't mock me, you moron, or I'll mock you after kicking your ass." W shuts up and now decides to calm down and apologize while cleaning his trenchcoat. "But are you jealous?" he asks. "Of course not," says Jack. "Celestia and I are just friends." "Friends? Are you sure?" "Yes!" W School's Entrance Oh my. I think I've just discovered something that Jack never wanted to show. I am looking now to another Jack... it looks like Susan is not the only woman who cares about! Finally, I've seen an improvement now! The widower is not a widower anymore! I approach the entrance and I see Pietro on the entrance. "I thought you've escaped and I was going to find you and leave you with no teeth," I say. "I could have gone outside, but..." he says while looking outside. "She's there and I don't want to come across her." "And who's there?" says Jack. Both of us look outside and we found out Trixie's there. "Really?" I say. "You don't want to go out because of Trixie?" "She's fucking crazy," he says. "Why would I come across a girl who talks in third person?" "She doesn't bite, Pietro," says Jack. "She is only a girl." "A crazy girl," he answers. I start getting tired of this situation, honestly. "It's only a fucking girl, Pietro!" I shout. "Just go down and that's it!" "I won't!" I sigh while looking at Trixie, and then I point at him with my finger and say: "You owe me one." Outside "Hey, Trix..." I say, only to find out Trixie is sitting on the entrance's stairs, crying. "Oh... I didn't..." "It's OK..." she says to me. "Trixie is OK." "You are not OK, did somebody hurt you? Did... that stupid guy, Pietro, hurt you?" "No, he didn't hurt me..." she says, while I sit next to her. "I just... feel lonely." "Lonely?" "Yes... Trixie would like someone to invite her to the Fall Formal, but nobody wants to go with her..." "Why?" "Trixie asked Duke Starlight to go with her, and he denied going with me 'cause he told me I was crazy." Trixie starts crying again and I nudge her shoulder. "You shouldn't worry about that..." I tell her. "I mean, it is not necessary to go with somebody." "You say?" she asks while cleaning her face with a tissue. "Yeah... you are Great and Powerful, aren't you?" "Yes..." she says while smiling. "Trixie is and will be always Great and Powerful." "So... if you are great and powerful... why would you need another guy to go to the Fall Formal?" Her face just petrifies like a rock after saying that. "You... are right..." she says. "Why would Trixie need someone?" "Yeah! You should go with the best dress you have and with the best style to make them know who is the greatest and also more powerful in the--" She interrupts me by hugging me, and I feel she is hugging me with all her force like she's trying not to get off me. "You are right! Absolutely right!" she says while smiling. "I don't know how this conversation began but it really worked out... The Great and Powerful Trrrixie thanks you, W!" She runs away to somewhere. That's the right moment when Jack and Pietro come out. The kid is laughing. "Are you happier now, bitch?" I ask him while he is smiling. "You two are too cute together," he says. What did you say, you motherfucker? "Shut the fuck up or I'll circumcise you with my bare hands," I tell him. "Woah..." says Jack, while we start walking to the parking lot. "That's what I call a heavy threat." Pietro starts laughing. "Sorry if I hit your heart with my words." I instantly stop walking and look at Pietro with a challenging stare: "Do you really wanna see me out of my cage, Petey?" "Come on..." he says. "She may be crazy but, she has those legs, you know what I mean..." "I told you. Shut the fuck up." "I recommend you to do that," says Jack. "Now we are going to the Parking Lot for your car, Pietro." "What?" he asks. "My car?" "Yes. We will go to Blueblood's in your car." Flash Sentry's Room "You know... when Rarity was a child, I used to take her with my wife to the Canterlot Mall to have some ice-cream. I always remember the ways she tried to decorate her ice-cream. Chocolate chips, almonds, sweets. She had been designing things since she was a baby." "Oh, that's so nice, Abraham..." Flash Sentry and Abe are talking about an old anecdote from Rarity in her childhood years. "Yeah..." he says while laughing. "It was nice." "And what happened?" asks Flash Sentry. Abe rises from his chair and looks at the room's door. "My wife left." "Oh... did she...?" "No, no... she didn't die," says Abe. "She left me for another man, and I would have done the same if I was my wife and she was me. I'm glad for her." "W-Why?" asks Flash Sentry. "She... left you. She lied to you..." "I had a job," says Abe, interrupting Flash's words. A bad job during those days, and it was obvious that my wife would discover it one day... she did, and she left me." Flash Sentry stays in silence. What kind of job was Abe talking about? "If you want to know what was my job... it was strange." "Strange?" "Yeah. A policeman who was controlled by a corrupt commissioner with an eye patch. I really did bad things for him. Now that I left...I feel proud of it, but my wife and son don't care about me now." "Oh.. that's so... I don't know what to say." Abe smiles while looking at Flash Sentry. "It is not necessary to say anything." Flash Sentry's phone starts vibrating. It is a message from his friend, Brawly Beats. He decided to make up with his bandmates after he was left in the hospital. "Bro: Fall Formal is in three weeks. What will you do, man?" says the message. Flash rises from his bed and tries to get up, but one of his legs still hurts. "What happened?" asks Abe, shocked. "The Fall Formal... is in three weeks. No! No! No!" he says while grabbing his head. "I will not be in the Fall Formal! Why?!" "Three weeks, Flash. It's a long time. You will be better by the time the party starts." "I don't know, Abraham... All my plans, ruined!" "What did you want to do?" "I planned to... ask someone to dance." "The girl you talked to me before? Twilight Sparkle?" "No, she's impossible... I was thinking about... my ex-girlfriend, Sunset Shimmer." "Oh... you are a risky son of a bitch." "Yes, I know... things didn't finish too well but... I'll try it. She isn't so bad as before... you know?" Abe receives a text message from Ron. He's here now. They must go to Blueblood's. "Look, Flash... Sorry but I've gotta go. Now." "Why?" "Job things." Abe opens the room's door and runs away, laughing while thinking about the job. The corrupt job never left his light blue skin. La Lima. Patch's mansion. Patch is looking at an enormous picture of himself while Hopkins, Tom Delight, and Gordo are smoking on a white table inside a comfy, yellow room. "If you say something about me to your brother, you will die, man..." Hopkins tells Tom. "Yeah, sure. Don't worry," answers Ron's brother. "I-I won't do anything..." "I expect," says Gordo. "Hopkins did a great job for me... stole 12 million and also I've got more money because of Ludmila's heist. You also made that article I've told you, didn't you, Hop?" "Yeah..." he says. "With my cutie name. I wrote that you were against Ron and the boys.." Gordo raises his hand, interrupting Hopkins' words. "You wrote what?" "I... Um... I wrote you were against..." "Against?" asks Gordo, while leaving his cigar on the table. "Against what?" "Uh... R-Ron." "I've told you... you had to write that I was with them! I'm not against Ron," says Gordo. "I am working with him with this whole Pegasus shit, so, I am not against Ron." "Sorry, Gordo, it wasn't my intention..." "Congratulations!" says Gordo, while hugging Hopkins. "You did a mistake but it was better than we thought. You wrote they were against me, and now... people would think that I am the hero and they are the villains! Very good, very good." "But..." says Tom. "If you are working with them, why do you say it is better for you if you are against them?" "I am working with them, Little Tommy, but if someone says that I am better than another, I would be pretty honest... do you remember, Tom? One of the main rules of the mafia?" "The only thing you should care is about yourself," says Tom. "Very good!" shouts Gordo while clapping. "Now you are learning, kindergarten kiddo." Patch starts walking around the room. "What about that project, Gordo?" he asks. "The Pegasus one?" "Yeah. What is that?" "Um... we are planning to rob the Fort." Patch stops walking and starts laughing. "You are fucking crazy. How will you rob a fort where you can't even walk because of its security?" "We will use the Elements of Harmony." "You are kidding, right?" says Hopkins, while smoking his cigar. "I mean, you will rob the most secure place in all of Equestria with... non-existent magic." Gordo receives a phone call from his assistants, the Dark Spikes. They are outside Patch's. Blueblood's Mansion. Everyone is in the living room. W, Jack, Abe, Ron along with his assistant Larry, the Barnes, the Dark Spikes, Pietro, Lucas, Filthy Rich, Gordo, and finally Blueblood. They are defining the heist's day, and how will they do that. "Before doing the heist," says Blueblood. "We must find the Element's holders and kill them. If we do that, we are ready to do everything we want." Abe raises his hand, but Blueblood keeps talking: "We must find a way to go inside the Fort and then, destroy every magical lock that maybe there..." Abe keeps raising his hand, but Blueblood has not answered yet. "After doing that, we must grab everything we can and escape to the other side of Equestria using the Elements... um... what do you want, Abe?" "Um... look, Mortimer," says Abe, trying to swallow his words. "I'm afraid I won't participate." Every member of the reunion starts hesitating about this. "Why?" asks Blueblood. "I'm sorry, you know, we've been making this for weeks but I have recently found out who were the holders..." "Really?" says Blueblood, with a shiny gesture. "And who they are?" "There are six. One of them is my granddaughter and the other five are her friends." Now no one is talking. The living room is just absolute silence... even Blueblood has his mouth closed. "So... I'm out." Abe rises from his chair and he stays right there. Blueblood sighs, grabs his head and asks: "Is there another man who wants to go out?" Jack slowly gets up, and W looks at them both. He is scared but knows his best decision would be getting out. He slowly gets up, while being looked by everyone and stands behind Abe and Jack. "Ok... another one?" Ron stands up but doesn't move. "Why are you doing this?" he asks. "Because I won't kill my granddaughter, Ron, and I know my friends, W and Jack, won't do it too. What about you, Ron, what would you do? Will you be with me, to your only, your remaining friend since the '80s... or betray me?" "Hey!" shouts Gordo. "I am also a friend of Ron since the '80s." "You were," says Abe while Ron is looking at everyone. He looks at Abe, then at Blueblood and Larry at last. He grabs his head, almost filled with tears, and decides to move. He is now leaving his most sacred project. The one he has been making for years. He is now moving to his only friends in his life: Abe, Jack, and W. "Ok then..." says Blueblood. "If you protect those girls, you know you will be our first objectives... to get rid of." "Yes," says Abe. "And I don't fucking care, Blueblood." Blueblood rises. "The ones who want to continue with this project stay behind me." The Barnes are the first ones to go behind. Filthy Rich is the second one, and then Lucas Plegovich. Gordo starts hesitating about the situation: Shall he go to Blueblood or Abe? A or B? "Fuck this," says Gordo, before going to Ron's side. The Dark Spikes follow him, but then he changes his mind... he goes behind Blueblood. "That's why you were my friend, Gordo," says Ron. "You were always and still against me." "Ha!" says Gordo, laughing. "Welcome to the real world, Blackbeard." But at the moment, there is another thing which is more important than this: Pietro is the only one left. "Pietro," says Lucas. "Come with us... come on." "No..." answers the kid. "Is this... a war?" Everyone looks at each other, scared. "Maybe," says Blueblood. "It will only be defined by your decision, Pietro." Pietro stands up and looks at both teams. Abe. Blueblood. Abe. Blueblood. Abe. Blueblood once again. He touches his red skin. Sweat. Lots of sweat drops. His white t-shirt is almost wet because of his sweat. He swallows saliva twice and touches the table while breathing. "We won't stay here like fucking mummies," says Blueblood. "It is only a decision, Pietro. Abe... or me." "Pietro..." says his brother, Lucas. "Come here, trust me." "N-No..." says Pietro. "I wish... b-but I just can't." Pietro moves and stays next to W and Jack. The crew has been completely divided. Will a war start right here, at this moment? "Ok..." says Blueblood. "Pietro, just because you are a Plegovich... I'd politely tell you to move aside." Oh no. Oh fucking no. That's the exact moment where W, Jack, Abe, Ron and his assistant Calculated Risk run away from where they were standing. Blueblood and Gordo draw their guns and start shooting around the place. The Dark Spikes and the Barnes start following them while firing their handguns. "Holy shit!" shouts Abe. "How can we escape from here?" "The entrance is near!" responds Ron. "I have a car!" "Wait!" says W. "I can't leave without William." W Motherfucking Abe. Oh yeah... I am now involved in the birth of a gang war because of Abe and his granddaddy things. This place is too dangerous and I need to run away quickly... but I just can't run away without William, my brother. What if my brother was used against me? What if they kidnap him and they kill him unless they kill me? I know I've seen my brother few times in my life, and I don't know him too well, but he has my blood, and he's the only guy that I know from my family that is alive. Now, all of us are hiding behind furniture. I am hiding behind a cupboard, for instance. There is also a stair behind me. William may be up there, but if I go upstairs, my body will be exposed to the handguns. Um... what should I do? Fuck! I leave the cupboard and I fastly go upstairs while the others are reloading. There is only a door that says Mortimer's Office. I open the door and I look at William, hiding under a desk. "Hey, Willy!" I shout. "We need to go!" "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!" he shouts to me while handling a gun. The gun's head is looking at me, looking to his prey. "Woah... calm down, bro. You don't even know how to shoot a gun." "What did you say? I may not be a gangster, but that doesn't mean I don't know how to shoot a fucking gun!" "Wait... we need to go now. Understand?" "Why?" "Um... it's long to explain, we are running out of time." "FUCK!" I hear outside. It is Abe's voice. "I ran out of ammo!" "LOOK! They are getting out of ammo!" I shout. "WE NEED TO GO!" "WHY?" "I WILL FUCKING EXPLAIN IT TO YOU LATER, BUT NOT NOW!" I grab William by the hand and all of us run away at the same time by the entrance door. We enter Ron's car and run away, while still hearing the gunshots. Jack, Larry, William and I are in the back, while Abe and Ron are in the front. My brother doesn't stop looking at Blueblood's house. "Why... in the hell did we run?" he asks. Car "Long story, Will," answers Ron. "Come on, Pirate," he says, with a certain air of pure desperation. "My job, my life... everything was inside that fucking mansion, and you are taking it away from me..." "Well... welcome to the real world, bro," I say. "Fuck you!" he shouts immediately. "For real, man! FUCK YOU!" "What did I do to you?" "You ruined my life!" "I SAVED YOUR LIFE, BRO!" "Yeah, and where the hell will I go now?" I don't answer to him, because he's right. His world was just Blueblood's Mansion and that's it. Nobody inside the car dares to talk. "Wait..." he says. "I actually... know a place to stay." A place? Does William know a place? What? "Where?" asks Jack. "It's not the best place but... it's the only one. It's in Canterlot's coast, a house called Sandy Suburbs." "No fucking way," says Ron, while relaxing himself, smoking a cigarette. "Wilbur?" Wilbur. I know that name, but I don't know why I know it. "Yeah," answers my brother. "It is him or nothing..." "Who's Wilbur?" I ask him. "That name... it's on my head..." "You don't know him, W?" asks Abe. "After all these years?" "No..." "It's grandpa," answers William. My eyes open as if they were two suns. "Dad's dad." "Crazy Wilbur," says Ron. "A Clock's gangster. You are lucky, W... Not every equestrian has a grandpa who was in the Clock." Oh... what? What the...? Oh my... "Which Clock member?" I ask. "Schizoid," answers Ron. Bloody Schizoid. The crazy but intelligent guy in the Clock. The one that planned everything... and now I find out... Schizoid is my grandpa? I am so surprised... oh my. "You know what that means?" says Ron. "If you saved William to take care of him... I need to save Tom. I'll leave William in Canterlot's coast, all of you in Canterlot and then I'll go to La Lima. Today, my boys, war has begun." "Oh no..." says Larry. "I knew... I shouldn't have helped you!" "Don't worry, Larry," answers Ron. "I'll leave you with William and Crazy Wilbur. They will take care of you." "But..." "I've heard Crazy Wilbur has a portal which connects to the other side, Calculated Risk," says Abe. "You may be safe there, and I think that his portal doesn't require the thirty moons." Larry's face drastically changes. He does a sigh of relief while cleaning his face. Canterlot High My brother and Larry have been left on my newly discovered grandfather's house. Now, Abe, Jack and I are left in Canterlot High by Ron's car. He will go to La Lima to look for Tom. "Ok..." says Jack. "It's 11. Celestia and Luna may be there." "For what?" asks Abe. "If we want to protect those girls, we need help." The three of us enter to Canterlot High and we follow Jack to Celestia's office. He knocks the door and she opens it. "Oh..." she says. "I see you replaced Pietro with Mr Flanks." "We need to talk now, this is urgent..." says Jack. "Really urgent." She lets us in and closes the door. We told everything we know to Celestia, except for the enemies' names. She grabs her head after knowing our situation. "Is this a kind of joke or what?" she says. "No," I answer. "This is real, and they are looking for them." Celestia shows us her eyes of disappointment. Her black pupils shine through anger. "How could you...?" "Sorry," answers Abe. "I didn't know anything about the Elements of Harmony before this, and honestly, I feel devastated..." "That means... you will have to protect them." "We want also your help, Celestia," I say. "Ha! Help you with something that I'm not involved! Thank you!" "We are not kidding, Cel," says Jack. Celestia's eyes shine after hearing that friendly byname. "This is big and a gang war may start because all of this, and you know that if a gang war starts, everyone will start calling mafia allies and this would turn into a massive catastrophe. That also includes you, because you are Cosmos' daughter... an ex-Clock's daughter." Celestia's eyes stop shining after she closes her eyes. Then, while rubbing her face she whispers: "Do you think they would call me?" "Yes..." says Jack. "Gordo is with them... he can say your name... only to mock you, I guess..." Celestia's face changes. Gordo, that magical name... the one that changed her family forever. She gets up, grabs a tissue and cleans her teary eyes. "And what do you want me to do?" "Let us be inside the college," says Abe. "And if someone talks to you about us... just lie." She thinks it almost thrice but eventually nods her head, accepting our request. I get up with Abe and open the door, before looking at Jack, who is softly touching Celestia's shoulder. I know something's happening there. Is Susan more or less important than Celestia, Jacky? "Son of a bitch..." I whisper to Abe. "Leave him alone..." he answers to me. "Let him be." Both of us go and close the door. Jack "They left..." I tell Celestia. "I need to go." "Wait..." I look at her after she said that word in a very soft voice, almost breath-taking. "Yes?" I say. "No... Nothing," she says while smiling. "You remind me of some weird guy I knew some years ago..." "Who?" "It was a friend from Tommy... he looked like you. Blue skin, black hair... well, he had his head shaved but..." I know who is she talking about. She's talking about me, but when I was using my fake identity, one of my alter-egos... , Fowles. Mike Fowles. Unique Alternative... oh god, that cutie name I invented was so bad and still is... "Mike," I say. "Isn't it?" "Oh..." he says. "You know him." "No... I only saw him once or twice, and that's it. After Tom's disappearance... I never saw him again." Both of us stay silent and greet each other out. Sandy Suburbs. House's Entrance. The Sandy Suburbs is a pretty big, beautiful chalet but it is so old and dirty that it looks like it has been abandoned for years. The wooden entrance door is almost rotten and the entrance tiles are all filled with moss. Most windows are broken, shattered or filled with cobwebs. There are also plenty of signs that warn people not to approach the entrance door or call the man who lives inside the house. There is also a sign that calls Larry's attention: BEWARE. CRAZY MAN INSIDE THE HOUSE. DO NOT ENTER OR WALK NEAR HIM. "Are you sure you wanna do this?" asks Larry to William. W's brother nods his head, sighs and knocks the door.Nobody answers. William knocks the door again. Nobody answers. "Nobody answers..." says William. "Shit." Both of them are about to leave until they hear something falling inside the house. Someone is walking fastly. "I TOLD YOU I DON'T WANT YOUR FUCKING COOKIES!" says a man which opens the door. It's an old, hoary man with white long hair and a long white beard using a dark red, worn out dressing gown. His grey skin is dirty and completely wrinkled. His brown eyes are decorated with massive eye bags and his dark, burnt lips are holding a cigar. "Gr... Grandpa?" asks William. "I don't have grandchildren. Who in the fuck are you?" "I... I am your grandson, Wilbur. William Waters." "How do you know my name?" "I am your grandson, grandpa." "You may have my skin, boy, but that doesn't mean I am your grandfather." "I am Wade's son, grandpa. Wade. Remember him?" The old man smiles while taking out the cigar of his mouth. "Wade..." he says, pointing to the sky with his right hand and his eyes. "My son... my bloody son. Yeah... he was a good guy. He had the worst nickname, though. Why would he call himself the Hero? Oh, sorry... you won't understand." "No, no. I understand," says William. "I know my father was a gangster." "Oh..." he answers. "And are you a gangster?" "No, but..." "I don't let normal people in." The old man closes the door and locks it, but William keeps knocking the door. "WAIT!" he shouts. "MY BROTHER IS A GANGSTER! "Oh, really?" he says. "And who is your brother?" "WALTER! HIS NAME IS WALTER!" "What about his nickname?" "BEDMAKER! HE IS THE BEDMAKER!" Silence. Then, the old man opens the door, holding the cigar with his hand. "Bedmaker?" "Yeah." "Are you sure?" "Yes," says Larry. "The Bedmaker is real and it looks like he is his brother." "And who are you?" asks the Old Man. "Mr. Calculated Risk, Ron Delight's assistant... um... gangsters call me Larry." Now, the Old Man looks at both William and Larry. "Ok..." he says. "If you say the truth, then I'll let you in. I am Wilbur Waters, your supposed grandfather. If the Bedmaker thing is true, I'd like to meet him one day. It would be interesting if one of the new generation of gangy boys is my grandson." Rainbow Dash is walking near the school. She left Canterlot High for a minute to look for something in her house. Vice Principal Luna authorized her to do that, and she promised to return without escaping. She could use her superpower and run super fast to her classroom, but she's afraid of using her powers too much. She is now calm, walking while whistling a song that she's been thinking for her band. Suddenly, she hears something. A car. She turns around and looks at a police car on the corner. Police... bruh... what would the police do to her? They are here to take care of us... ]but today is not the case, though. The police car starts accelerating and tries to run over Rainbow Dash, but she instantly finds out what happens and runs away using her powers. Canterlot High's Library Twilight Sparkle is reading a chemistry book, looking up information for homework. Fluttershy and Applejack are also doing the same. Suddenly, Dash stops on the library and looks for the girls. "Oh, Dash!" shouts Twilight Sparkle while looking at Dash's shocking gesture. "Did something happen?" "I don't know girls... some cops tried to run over me... and I don't know why! Why would a cop hurt a citizen... a Rainboom?" The girls try to calm down Rainbow Dash, saying that it may have been only an accident. What they don't know is that the cops actually wanted to run over Rainbow Dash, because they were working for Blueblood. That means only one thing: The elements' hunting has begun. To be continued...
