Months before the CHS school year ended, it was on a Thursday morning, Mr. Doodle gave the students their homework.
Mr. Doodle instructed them, “Okay class. I want your homework to be finished by tomorrow because you will have a test,” Everyone groaned including Rarity and Rainbow Dash, except Sci-Twi, “This homework I gave you will also be your study guide. Not only that, you will be working in pairs. So find a partner and get to work.”
Sci-Twi and Rainbow Dash teamed up and got started with their homework. As for Rarity, all the boys and girls were asking her to be her study partner since she’s really popular, but it was too much for her. Then, he spotted a young male teen with black hair and hoodie who was sitting all alone, working on his homework. So, she used her quick ninja skills to get passed them and sat right next to the young lad.
“Hi Amethyst,” She greeted him, “May I interest you being my study partner and help me with my homework please?” She asked, acting like she was in drama class.
The teen replied, “Sure. I’ll help.”
“Excellent, darling.” Rarity said.
The rest of their other classmates sighed and the school bell rang for lunch time. Rainbow Dash and Sci-Twi texted Rarity from their phones to meet her in the library after school. Rarity agreed to them and replied back with a text from her phone. Sci-Twi and Rainbow stood up and left the classroom.
“Will you meet me at the library after school today, darling?” Rarity asked.
Amethyst answered, “Of course I’ll be there, Rarity.”
“Sounds great. Don’t be late, darling. Au revoir.” Rarity said and left to meet with her friends outside.
“I’ll see you later, Rarity.” Amethyst said, and left the classroom to go to the cafeteria.
After school, Amethyst met Rarity in the library and sat down together to get started with their homework. Sci-Twi and Rainbow also came by and sat across from them to work on their homework as well. Minutes later, they were finished with their homework and studying. So, they all left the library and exited the school.
“Thanks for your help, darling.” Rarity said.
Amethyst replied, “Oh, you’re very welcome, Rarity. See you tomorrow.”
“Okay, darling. Bye.” Rarity waved him goodbye.
Amethyst walked straight home on his own while Rarity walked with the rest of her friends.
The next day, Amethyst, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow, and the rest of the students turned their homework to the desk of Mr. Doodle. Once that was settled, Mr. Doodle stood up and gave each and every one of his students their tests.
“You have until by the end of the bell to finish your tests.” Mr. Doodle instructed them and went back to his desk.
Everyone started taking their tests and took their time with it. Minutes later, the school bell rang and everyone in the class finished their test on time and handed their tests over on Mr. Doodle’s desk.
After Amethyst put his test on Mr. Doodle’s desk, he saw Rarity going to her locker and walked towards her.
“Hi, Rarity.” He greeted.
Rarity replied, “Oh, hi, uh... Amethyst. Right?”
“Yes, Rarity. I just want to ask you, how well did you do on the test?” Amethyst asked.
She answered, “Oh, I did just fine. I hope I “ace” the test.”
“I’m sure you did fine. We all did. It’s up to the teacher to determine our grades of our test today.” Amethyst encouraged her.
“You’re definitely right about that, darling.” Rarity said.
“Anyway, umm,” He stuttered and blushed, “I got nothing else to do after school. So, I was wondering... if you have the chance... do you want to hang out with me tonight?
Rarity blushed and thought about it. So she answered, “Darling, I would love to, but... I have other things to do after school today. Thanks for the offer, darling.”
“Oh, well umm... okay. I understand.” Amethyst replied.
“I gotta go, darling. My friends are waiting for me at the cafeteria. Au revoir.” She said and walked passed Amethyst to go to the cafeteria with her best friends.
Amethyst felt a bit sad and headed towards the mens bathroom. He went inside, and talked to himself, “It’s fine. I understand that she has other business to attend to,” He put his backpack down and looked into the mirror of his reflection and said, “At some point, I will find a way to repay her after I helped her study. I’m going to do whatever it takes to impress her.”
Then, someone said, “Um, you know I can hear you.”
Amethyst was alarmed and said, “Oh, my apologies. I didn’t know you were in here using the toilet. I’ll just leave right now.”
He washed his hands after that, took his backpack and left the bathroom to head straight towards the cafeteria. With an agenda on his mind, he was determined to repay Rarity. No matter what.
Few months later, just as Amethyst was about to approach Rarity, the students were running towards the main hall, trampled Amethyst and exited the school because it was the last day of school and they all felt happy that it’s time for a summer vacation. As Amethyst got up, the Rainbooms left without a trace. He felt upset and went home all by himself.
Few weeks later, Amethyst bought a bouquet of roses and walked straight ahead. As he kept walking, he saw Rarity talking to her best friends across the street and they were heading towards Sugarcube Corner. Amethyst tried to pick up the pace, but the sign said stop on the crosswalk and a car splashed mud on him along with the bouquet. The Rainbooms paid no attention and Amethyst walked away, feeling more upset.
Another week passed by and Amethyst was at the mall with another bouquet of roses to find Rarity again. Then, he saw Rarity chatting with Applejack along with her best friends. Amethyst spied on them without being seen and he heard that Rarity got a job at Equestria Land. So, he left the mall, waiting for the right opportunity to repay Rarity.
Amethyst arrived at Equestria Land with his bouquet as he tried to find Rarity again. He searched high and low until he found her, but she was with Applejack. They hugged it out and felt completely upset and in shock, assuming that Rarity has some sort of a relationship with her best friend. He dropped the bouquet and walked away without Rarity and Applejack noticing. Minutes later, Amethyst spied on the Rainbooms and saw that they were fighting against a phone monster. Plus, he also saw Casey, April, Shini, Karai, and the Ninja Turtles fighting alongside the Rainbooms.
“Who in the world are they?” Amethyst questioned himself. He retreated and walked away, but he still felt very sad that he’ll never get the chance to ask Rarity out and repay her.
Later as the sun was almost setting, an essence of dark magic suddenly appeared from the shadows of Everfree forest and started roaming around the neighborhood. As the essence continued wondering around, it accidentally bumped into Amethyst on the way home. Amethyst felt a bit weird, but he shook his head and never mind about it. So, he went back to his house to rest.
As the night settled, Amethyst kept thinking and dreaming about what happened at Equestria Land. He witnessed how Rarity looked at Applejack and it made him feel very jealous, and angry. He got up from his bed and tried to think about what he will do next.
[Amethyst Majesty]
I'm so tired of pretending
Where's my happy ending?
I followed all the rules
I drew inside the lines
I never asked for anything that wasn't mine
I waited patiently for my time
But when it finally came
She called her name
And now I feel this overwhelming pain
I mean it's in my veins
I mean it's in my brain
My thoughts are running in a circle like a toy train
I'm kinda like a perfect picture with a broken frame
I know exactly who to blame
I never thought of myself as mean
I always thought that I'd be the king
And there's no in between
'Cause if I can't have that
Then I would be the leader of the dark
And the bad
Now there's a devil on my shoulder
Where the angels used to be
And she's calling me the king
Amethyst went to the cave right outside Camp Everfree and started using his magic to gather the materials he need to create something. He motioned his arms and danced while pieces of wood started levitating and swirled around in motion to the center.
Being nice was my pastime
But I've been hurt for the last time
And I won't ever let another person take advantage of me
The anger burns my skin, third-degree
Now my blood's boiling hotter than a fiery sea
There's nobody getting close to me
They're gonna bow to the Evil King
Your nightmare's my dream
Just wait until they fall to my wicked schemes
I never thought of myself as mean
I always thought that I'd be the king
And there's no in between
'Cause if I can't have that
Then I would be the leader of the dark
And the bad
Now there's a devil on my shoulder
Where the angels used to be
And he's calling me the King of Mean (Calling me, calling me)
The King of Mean (Calling me, calling me)
(Calling me, calling me)
The King of Mean
After he created his staff, he found something glowing inside the cave. So he went inside and found a crystal, glowing neon green as Amethyst started approaching towards the light.
Something's pulling me
It's so magnetic
My body is moving
Unsure where I'm headed
All of my senses have left me defenseless
This darkness around me
Is promising vengeance
The price that I'm willing to pay is expensive
There's nothing to lose
When you're lonely and friendless
So my only interest is showing this dude
That I am the king
And my reign will be endless (Endless)
Amethyst grabbed the crystal and placed it on top of staff, activating its wicked power and the dark magic inside him transformed into an evil persona of himself. He wore a long, black jacket and a crown along with armor that resembled King Sombra.
I want what I deserve
I want to rule the world
Sit back and watch them learn
It's finally my turn
If they want a villain for a king
I'm gonna be one like they've never seen
I'll show them what it means
Now that I am that
I will be the ruler of the dark and the bad
'Cause the devil's on my shoulder
Where the angels used to be
And he's calling me the King of Mean (Calling me, calling me)
(Calling me, calling me)
The King of Mean (Calling me, calling me)
I want what I deserve
Amethyst teleported himself out of the cave with the Staff of Sacanas and left without a trace.
