//------------------------------// // Accept Flash and Trixie's help // Story: A Day in the Life // by TheHardie-Boy //------------------------------// “Sure,” I told Trixie. “I was actually having trouble coming up with a prank, so I could really use your help.” “Teehee,” Trixie happily squealed as she lightly clapped her hands in delight. Flash didn’t say anything. He just gave a small smile as he stared at his now elated girlfriend. “Now then, what prank should we pull?” Trixie said as she walked past me and peered around the corner to look at Sunset. “What can we do that would involve all three of us?” As Trixie contemplated pranks, I leaned over to Flash to whisper something to him. “I never pegged Trixie as a prankster,” I quietly commented. “Neither did I when we first started dating,” Flash whispered back. “But she’s got a real knack for pranking. She’s even gotten Rainbow Dash and Pinkie a few times.” “Wow, that’s impressive,” I semi-astonishingly remarked, figuring that Rainbow and Pinkie were master pranksters just like their pony counterparts in Equestria. “Ah-ha, I’ve got it!” Trixie exclaimed as she turned back around to face Flash and me. “Here’s what we can do.” Trixie then began to explain her prank idea to Flash and me. It was a pretty simple idea, though it seemed more like a joke than a prank to me. Wait, is there a difference between a joke and a prank? Note to self: check on that later. “Got it?” Trixie asked as she finished. “Got it,” both Flash and I said at almost the exact same time. “Alright, then let’s go,” Trixie said, with no shortage of gusto, as she rounded the corner and started walking towards Sunset. “Hey, Sunset!” Flash and I couldn’t make out what Sunset said in response, but we could tell that Trixie had successfully gotten her attention. We waited a few seconds until we were sure Sunset was fully distracted before we decided to move. As quickly and as quietly as possible, we made our way to the back of the bleachers and cut across to the other side, so that we were behind Sunset. After taking a few seconds to make sure Sunset was still thoroughly distracted by Trixie, Flash and I silently moved up the bleachers. Once I was right behind Sunset, I reached around her and covered both of her eyes with my hands. “Guess who?” Flash asked. “Hmmm,” Sunset amusedly said in faux contemplation. “Could it be…Flash Sentry?” “Not quite,” I said as I removed my hands from Sunset’s eyes. The instant my hands were off of Sunset’s face, she quickly turned around and dawned a wide smile. “Jake!” she said as she wrapped me in a hug. “What are you doing here?!” “I’m here to see you, of course,” I said as I returned the hug. Sunset and I soon broke the hug, and afterwards Trixie, Flash, and I explained our little prank to her. Sunset just laughed at the whole things, and the four of us just spent the rest of the day talking by the soccer field. I didn’t quite get the alone time with Sunset I’d hoped for, but it was still nice to be amongst friends. Boring, Generic Ending
