Flash Sentry is walking down the hallway, a pair of AirPods in his ears, listening to the newest underground heavy rock music that he finds on Spotify, wearing his fresh new kicks that his hard-working, two job single mother bought for him, all the while passing everyone down the hall with a swagger unknown to mankind.
Bobbing his head to the feel of the music, Flash arrives at his locker, opening it to take out his social studies book and notebook, along with a few pens.
After placing them all in his backpack and slamming his locker shut like a boss, Flash notices Sunset Shimmer, who just so happened to have the locker next to his.
Seeing her, Flash takes out his AirPods, turning off his music for now.
“Hi there.”
“Mornin’ Flash. What brings you to me?”
Flash blushes a little at that. “Oh it’s just... see my new kicks. Pretty sweet right?” Flash boasts about as he shows off his new shoes that were most likely made in a sweatshop.
“They look pretty dope,” Sunset looks and sees Flash’s AirPods in his hand, “I see you got them. Tell me, does everything now smell ‘broke’ to you?”
“Oh, oh yeah. Oh yeah indeed.”
Awkward silence falls upon the two.
“Well I better be going. See ya later.” Sunset says as she walks away from him and to her first hour class.
Meanwhile, Flash dreamily still keeps his eyes on Sunset, taking his glance away as soon as she heads down a side hall. Thinking, just thinking about what it could be.
“If only she knew.” Flash said quietly to himself as he goes and continues on his way.
Doing so while he opens up the Instagram app on his phone, looking up her profile page, then taking the liberty to ‘like’ her old photos.

Walking down the hall, Flash sees all kinds of stuff happening throughout Canterlot High School.
Over to his right, he see both Snips and Snail doing the water bottle challenge. Seeing Snails ‘hitting em with a dab’ right after doing a successful land with a bottle, causing Flash to roll his eyes.
Looking over to his left, he sees two girls both watching something on either one of their phones, smiling and giggling coming from the two.
Probably both watching a classic vine compilation.
Five minutes of walking later and Flash, in all his swagger, arrives at his first hour Social Studies class.
Looking around the room, Flash can’t yet decide where to sit.
He sees over by the ‘girls that are so out of his league but think he has a pretty good shot with’ that there’s an empty seat.
But also there’s an empty seat over by where all his buddies usually sit.
Drawing a blank, Flash just strugs it off, instead deciding to sit in the front, where basically almost no one in the class sits at.
While class is just beginning to start, Flash feels his new IPhone X vibrating.
While the teacher isn't looking, he quickly opens up to his messages, seeing that surprisingly, it’s a text from Sunset Shimmer.

Flash can’t quite make of what to think of it.
But he just strugs it off and replies with: 😐

After class, Flash started thinking. Thinking of Sunset’s latest text. The emoji she used. What could it mean?
Luckily, he had someone who could interpret it for him.
“Hey Twilight. How ya doing?”
“Flash!” Twilight runs to give him a big, tight hug right as soon as she sees him.
“Um, nice to see you too,” Flash gives a pat on her back, “So anyway. Was wondering if you could interpret something for me?” Flash pulls his phone out from his pants’ pocket.
“Uh huh. Sure.” Twilight breaks away from him, grabbing his phone out of his hand.
“Hmmm...” Twilight takes a good, long look of the text. Analyzing the emoji’s meaning.
As she’s studying the text, Flash sees Sunset walking down the hall, right towards him.
Having a bright smile, she waves over to him.
Seeing her wave causes Flash to quickly look behind him, seeing that there’s no one there. Meaning that she is waving to him.
Returning a wave of his own (and trying to hide a blush of his own), Sunset gives a bright smile right as she walks by, as she couldn't chitchat for only a little while.
“Okay. Um.., cool.” His blush reappears.
Twilight looks up from his phone to see the slightly red blush on his face. “Do you...-?”
“No!” Flash calms himself down after that recent outburst. “I- I mean, maybe just a little bit. But, why you ask?”
“'Cause if I’m looking at this correctly, then it means that she likes you.”

“Okay, you can do this. Just go up, and ask her. That’s all.” Flash says to himself quietly as he walks down the hallway. Paying attention to no one.
Flash approaches Sunset at her locker.
“Say um. So you know the Halloween party is tonight and I was just wondering... will you be my “plus one” for tonight?”
“Oh. I would love to. But Micro Chips already asked me, and for some reason I just couldn’t resist him. Sorry.”
Hearing this rejection, all Flash did was stare off in shock (and surprise).
“Okay. I’ll just be heading.” Sunset says as she walks away from the still shocked Flash Sentry. “See you... later.”
***
Of all people, Micro Chips just really had to ask her first. And if that isn’t enough, she actually agreed! Like, wtf!!!!!
Okay. This is fine. How I want to deal/solve with this is entirely on me. Let’s see, there are two options. Option one, go over and beat up Micro until he agrees to not go with her anymore.
Or there’s option two, which is ask someone else to the party and go the whole ‘jealous route’.
Hmmm. Well option one will probably get me expelled, if not arrested so...
***
“Let’s see, which other girl could I take for tonight? Not just any girl, but someone who I know that’ll make Sunset a little jealous?”
As Flash is thinking of someone, Twilight Sparkle walks right on by, big smile and wave.
“Hmmmmmmm...”
***
“So I know this is last minute and all but, will you be my date? For tonight.”
Wallflower Blush just stared at the desperate teenage boy. Surprised by what he had just asked her. Also she blushed. She blushed a little.
“Um... sure, why not. Got nothing better to do.”
