"When you look back, sometimes they can be full of either memories you want to forget or memories you want to keep in your mind.
The sound of a ship’s horned reverbed in the air as the cruise ship made its way through the waters, plowing through it with slow but powerful movements. Most of the residence were inside the ship or out on the deck partying. But there was one individual that wasn't doing any of that. She was just looking at the view over the ships rail guard.
The figure was a beautiful 17-year-old female with wavy red hair with yellow streaks, giving the impression of a sun. She had yellow skin and beautiful aquamarine eyes. Her body was toned and curvy, which garnered a lot of envy from many females as she was leaning out, giving a few of the riders a pleasant view of her toned rear. Her outfit consisted of a crimson tank-top under a low-cut leather jacket plus tight red jeans which were tucked into a pair of combat boots with metal plates. On her hands were red fingerless gloves. The back of her jacket had the words ‘Pack’s Loyalty’ in red with a white outline with a picture of a phoenix and the kanji for fire in the middle .
“Huh. Been a long time since I came back to Canterlot. Don’t know whether I should be happy I’m home or grimace at the thought of meeting...them...” She said to herself. She then began thinking back to her time in the city. All of them were not pleasant memories.
“I figured I found you here.”
A deep voice soon caught her ears. Turning around, she saw the speaker. A 17-year-old male that was easily taller than her at 6ft with dark grey skin and dark red eyes plus jet black hair which was all messy and reaching the top of his spine, giving a wild look. He was wearing a black leather duster over a grey T-shirt plus black leather trousers and motorcycle boots with a white rim. The duster jacket also had ‘Pack’s Loyalty’ with a white wolf skull and the kanji for shadow in black on the center of the skull.
“Oh, hey Shade.” She spoke
“Hey Sunset. What’s wrong?” He asked.
“Nothing. Just...thinking about the times I was living here.” She responded.
“You still hung on those bad memories?” He said in concern.
“You mean Anon-a-Miss? Nah. Just thinking about how naïve I was. But still.’ She then turned to face him. ‘If it weren’t for that cyber-demon, I wouldn’t have met you and the rest of the pack.”
“Heh. True.”
Soon another voice rang out.
“So. This is where youse are, eh Sunshine?” a rough voice said. When Shade and Sunset turned around, they saw another figure.
The figure was a teenage boy aged 17 with dark blue skin, light blue eyes and a grey pompadour with a white tip at the end. He was wearing a Dark blue t-shirt, an indigo hoodie with white triangles around the rim of the hood, a pair of ripped blue jeans and black and blue converses. The back of the hoodie had ‘Pack’s Loyalty’ in blue with a shark symbol and the kanji for water in between the jaws
“Hey Squalo. What’s up?” Sunset said, leaning against the rail.
“Just wonderin’ where da hell you went.” He answered as he approached the two.
“Just thinking.” Shade said as the three looked out to sea.
“About the time we met?” Squalo questioned.
“Yeah. Before we were just six strangers, screwed over by people we held close.” Sunset said, memories filling her head.
“Yeah. Then we became something akin to a family...” Shade added, a nostalgic smile filling his face.
“We’s ended up goin’ through hell and soon we wound up getting fame. Dat was not what I expected.” Squalo chuckled.
“Well, what can we say? We were living it up in the hall of fame!” A cheeky voice spoke, shocking the three.
Behind them, was a snickering 16-year-old male with grey skin, red eyes and white hair done in a quiff at the back. He was rather lean, akin to a track runner wearing a dark grey fleece tracksuit jacket, sky blue sweatpants and white trainers. On his head were a pair of goggles while his hands were wrapped in white bandages. His fleece jacket had ‘Pack’s Loyalty’ in sky blue with a falcon spreading its wings and the kanji for wind in the center
“Falco, you sneaky asshole!” Sunset said in a snarling tone, which was betrayed by the smirk on her face.
“Sorry. Couldn’t resist” He said as he slumped over the railing.
“Da hell are youse doing here anyways?” Squalo asked his shorter companion.
Falco shrugged. “Got bored. Wanted to see the view” He said as he swerved around Sunset. “SO. What are you thinking about?” He asked in a cheery tone.
“Just how we met.” She replied and Falco’s attitude took a different turn. He still had the smile but it was more...nostalgic.
“Yeah. Hell of a ride that was...” He said as he thought back.
“Can’t believe it was only 11 months as well since we first met.” Shade commented with a look of knowing.
“Yeah and we---”
“FAAALLLLLLLCOOOO!!!” A Roar of feminine fury reverbed across the ship.
“What the?! Was that Sandy?!” Shade said as Falco began snickering.
“Yep!” He said with a grin
“What the hell did you do?!” Sunset said to the laughing boy.
“Gave her a make-up session!” He said, his snickering getting louder.
Stomping up was a 16-year old female with yellow ochre skin and a brown ponytail and brown eyes. Much like Sunset, she was curvy but was more built and stockier than her. Her outfit consisted of a yellow plaid shirt over a white T, dirty blue jeans and cowgirl boots with spurs which clicked as she stomped onto the ship. The shirt also had Pack’s Loyalty in brown with a snake face opening its jaws and the kanji for earth in the center.
Her face looked like a clown as she had a furious snarl on her face.
“FALCO, YA SCRAWNY BASTARD! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FACE?!” She roared as she grabbed him by his jacket and shook.
“Come on! That frown will ruin the lovely job I did!” He said as he laughed. Shade, Squalo and Sunset just shook their heads as Sandy got him in a headlock screaming about hoping this stuff comes off.
“Some things never change...” Shade said.
“Mook.” Squalo added.
“Ay, putas! What are you guys doing?!” Soon another voice roared as a bewildered girl came out the cabin. She had dark brown skin with green eyes and hair done in two pigtails. She had a build to that of a parkour runner, dressed in a black crop top under a green latex jacket. She also had blue biker shorts, green socks and white trainers. Her jacket much like the rest had Pack’s Loyalty in dark green with a pair of cheetah eyes and the kanji for forest in between them.
“Oh hey Flora. Just showing this bastard my face AIN’T A PALLETE!” Sandy said.
“Well, where is Falco anyways?” Flora said, arms crossed with a raised brow.
Sandy looked down and saw Falco by the railing. Her face went red as steam shot out of her ears, especially at the mocking grin he showed. The two just went to the railing with the others.
“So, how come you guys are here? The gig starts in 15 minutes.” Flora asked.
“We just remembered the day the six of us met.” Shade said with a nostalgic smile. Flora and Sandy smiled as well. That was understandale.
“Yeah...When we met...it was just six strangers from six different dust trails. If it weren’t for Lumen...” Sandy said.
“Yeah. We would be stuck in one place, scarred from the betrayals we had and the feelings of revenge.” Sunset remarked.
“True dat. Hell, I would still be in juvie if it ain’t for him bailin’ me out.” Squalo said as he laid back.
“The man healed us in more ways than one.” Sunset said as slight memories of freezing winds filled her head slightly. But like a breeze, it came and went.
“And the feelings of vengeance were quenched.” Flora added as she rested her cheek on her palm.
“’Sometimes living well and being happy is the best form of revenge. To most, the worst thing can be you forgetting who they are’ Those were words to live by.” Sunset said with a smile.
“But are you still planning on forgiving the school?” Shade said to which Sunset just snorted
“Please. They assaulted me, made my life hell and got me canned. I ain’t forgiving them and I am NOT joining them again.”
Sunset said with a look which was shared with the rest as memories filled their heads
“I still remember the day I met Sensei...”
