"Roxas," I say as I put on my gauntlet onto my right arm and move to put on my bracer onto my other arm when I notice that Sunset is slowly waking up. "Morning, sleepy head," I say moving to where Sunset is laying down.
"Morning to you too Jakub, what time is it anyway?" Sunset asks.
"It's nine o'clock in the morning and I have to go with Maeve soon so Rarity can make some clothes for her since she only has her dress and her PJs from when she first came here."
"Ok. Can you at least drive me home when you're taking Maeve to Rarity's place please?" Sunset asks as I nod in approval.
—————🗝—————
The drive to Sunset's house was quick since it was close to Rarity's place, meaning I could walk with Maeve to the shop after dropping Sunset off at her home. Walking up to the door of the shop, I notice that someone is there. Taking a deep breath, I open the door and head inside with Maeve close by.
"Sorry to be interrupting anything, Rarity, but you wanted to make some clothes for Maeve," I say as I look to see Rarity is still in her nightgown. "On second thought, maybe I should come on a later date since, eh, you must be really really tired if you're still in your nightgown."
"It’s alright, darling. I was just about to text you, but seeing that you came early, I can take a bit more time to measure your little sister to see if there are any clothes that are for her size," Rarity says as she takes out a measuring tape and slowly walks over to Maeve, who in an instant runs away to hide in a changing room. "I didn't mean to frighten the poor girl, Jakub. I was just going to measure her—that's all."
"It's alright, Rarity. Maeve is just shy. She acted the same yesterday when you met her," I say as I walk over to where Maeve was hiding and crouch down, since, by the look of things, she's curled up in a ball. "It's okay, Maeve. Rarity just wants to check your measurements so she could find some clothes for you and maybe a new set of pyjamas since the ones you have are Nyx’s old pair of pyjamas."
"Okay," Maeve whispers as she walks out of her hiding spot andover to Rarity. "Sorry, Miss Rarity, for running away from you."
"It's all right, darling. Everyone is scared of meeting new people. Even though I was a bit scared when I met you older brother back in freshman year of CHS, I did try and talk to him when I met him," Rarity says as she picks up the tape and starts measuring Maeve.
I suddenly hear a wolf howl coming from my phone. "Excuse me for a moment. I need to check this," I say as I walk out of the shop and take out my phone.
Two messages were sent to me—one from Vice-principal Luna and the other form Applejack. Opening the message from Luna, I notice that it's a shopping list for today.
SHOPPING LIST
1 pineapple
2 kgs of sugar
2 bottles of milk
Popcorn
Lord of the Rings movie trilogy
Hobbit movie trilogy
Fast and Furious movie trilogy
Bottle of shampoo
1 full watermelon
7 to 10 apples
Video games for the PlayStation 4
Just looking at the list, I know I'm not going to lose a lot of money since, being an X-class hunter for the guild, I get high paying jobs that would usually take four to seven veteran hunters to finish.
Checking the message from Applejack, I notice that it's only one short sentence.
We need to talk. Come to Sweet Apple Acres, and we'll talk there.
"Could AJ be suspicious about me?" I think to myself as I go back to the shop to find Rarity occupied and Maeve nowhere to be seen."Eh Rarity, where's Maeve?" I ask her, only to feel my hand being pulled back. Looking who was pulling my arm, I see that it was Maeve pulling it. Looking at her I notice that she's wearing a tiger t-shirt (knowing that she loves tigers), a light blue skirt and a pair of pink and white shoes.
"Maeve I want you to stay with Rarity since I gotta go somewhere and I ask you to not be afraid of anyone and Rarity if Maeve ever hides play the Nightcore version of Wake me up that's switching vocals," I say to both of them as I exit the shop and walk to my car.
"Next stop, Sweet Apple Acres."

The drive to AJ's place was fast since the viper was a fast car (not as fast as a Bugatti Veyron). Getting out of the car, the first thing I notice is that Mac is fixing the family tractor.
"Hey Mac where's Applejack? She said she wanted to talk to me about something" I say as Big Mac looks at me and points to the house, "thanks!"
Walking up to the house, I noticed that someone was repainting the outside of the house since there's a paint bucket lying on the ground open.
"Didn't think you would come" I hear Applejack say, as I look to she where she is.
Standing in the doorway of the house was AppleJack wearing her usual clothing and her trademark hat.
“Well you did say you wanted to talk immediately judging by the message, so here I am,” I say as I move to the bench that’s beside the house and sitting down on it.
“Alright sugarcube you’re hiding something aren’t you?” AJ asks me, as she walks up to the bench and sits down beside me.
“Well there is something that I’m hiding but I promised someone that I won’t say it until the time is right,” I say.
“It’s not that but, I saw you with Sunset, Nyx and another girl yesterday and judging by the look in your eyes I can already guess you and Sunset are still a couple, but I wanted to ask you who was that little girl that was beside you, Nyx and Sunset,” she asks.
“That’s Maeve, Applejack, she’s my adopted little sister,” I say before starting a long talk that I’m guessing will take about an hour to explain.

After the talk with AJ, I feel as if someone just stabbed me in the back multiple times.
“The portal closes on the night of the Fall Formal, maybe I should take a quick trip back home and talk to Aunt Celestia and ask her why she lied to my family about Sor-Silver,” I say to myself as I drive back to Rarity’s place.
Trying to keep myself from going into what I call Rage Form since I don’t want to start breaking things, I turn on the good old radio and start listening to some music while driving. In all fairness most of the music cds I have in my car were made by Vinyl after a long music discussion, she did make me a lot of cds for a few reasons.
Reason one, is that I like racing music while I drive in the occasional race or two at the stadium and reason number two is that most of them are from Need For Speed games.

After picking up Maeve from Rarity’s place and getting back home and putting Maeve to bed since it’s 9pm and again she fell asleep while I was driving.
Packing my small rucksack with a few personal possessions that I want Shining to have and a few books to leave for Twilight since from what I heard she is addicted to reading books.
“And where do you think you’re going Jakub?” I hear Rose say, as I turn my head to where she was.
Sitting on the bed was Rose looking at me with her sky blue eyes.
“I’m going to Equestria, Rose. I won’t be back until tomorrow evening. I’ve got to have a little talk with my aunt about something that she hid from me, Shining, Twilight and my parents. Please take care of Maeve while I’m gone” I say before exiting the room not even hearing Rose’s reply.

After getting the documents about Sora and Riku from the Forge I walk to the school I started to think about what Celestia will say after I show her the documents about Sora and Riku.
Finally arriving at the statue where the portal was. Taking a deep breath I put my hand through the portal to see if it was open.
Looking back at the school for the last time before I come back tomorrow, I go through the portal for the first time in six years.
