Gilda stomped through the hallways towards the Library. She was clearly angry about what happened. That fluttercunt thinks she can get away with giving away that crown?! Nah Ima show her!. In the Library, she went up to one of the study rooms. Though it was supposed to be a place for "studying", it was really a place to discuss plans to help Sunset win the crown. Every vile and cruel plan was made in the study room. It was also sound-proof so no one from the outside could hear what was going on. Gilda opened the door and a light-blue skinned girl was sitting at the table inside talking on the phone. She had white hair and wore a blue jacket with a purple skirt and blue tennis shoes. At first she didn't notice Gilda come in as she was still talking on the phone.
"Yeah, I know I'll make sure it happens. Don't worry." She replied back to whoever she was speaking to. She put down her phone and now noticed Gilda. She gave the bully a dirty look and spoke to her in a condenscending tone. " The great and powerful Tr-r-r-r-rixie hopes you have some good news for her, Gilda."
Gilda sighed. "The crown...Fluttershy took and gave it away." Trixie was Gilda and Garble's immediate leader just like how Gilda is Hoops and Dumbell's leader. "I really don't get why we need to-"
Trixie slammed her fist on the table. Her face contorted with anger "And you didn't do anything to stop her? The most feared bully Gilda too afraid to get Fluttershy to cough up a stupid crown!" She pointed a finger at Gilda's chest. "You know what you are? An incompetent retard that's what you are!"
Gilda got angry now but she couldn't do anything. All she could do was bite her lip and stand there as Trixie was having a cow. "Not like you do anything else, whore." She muttered but Trixie heard her.
"Oh you're saying I don't do anything? If I didn't do anything, you think I would be where I am right now? Why can't you be like Garble? He's competent unlike you and he doesn't complain like a little bitch!"
In Gilda's mind, she wanted to say You only like him because he licks your pussy 24/7 and you're only above me because you kiss Sunset's ass pretty much all the time. but all she did was roll her eyes. Trixie still wasn't done. "You wanna know why I put you in charge? Because the Alpha insisted that you were a good lead but I guess clearly not if you can't even get a crown back! A fucking simple task!"
Gilda was not having anymore and lashed back. "Why do we even need that fucking crown anyway? And all you do is sit on your ass all day!"
"Watch how you talk to me, Gilda! Don't forget who's in charge of you! Sunset really needs that crown for reasons I had sworn to never tell except the Alpha, so I need you to get your shit together and get that crown back do I make myself clear?!"
Gilda stormed out of the room and didn't bother to gently close the door behind her. She approached two boys. One was light-brown skinned and had dark-brown hair. He wore a grey athletic t-shirt and shorts with a pair of black tennis shoes. His name was Hoops. The other was dark-grayish brown skinned with amberish grey hair. The other boy named Dumbell, sported a red jacket and a pair of jeans and tennis shoes.
"Hoops! Dumbell!" Gilda barked. The two boys jumped a little at being addressed so sharply but when they saw the look on her face, they knew she wasn't going to be all happy. Though she was never really happy anyways, except the times when she hurts anyone.
"Yeah, Gilda what's up?" Hoops asked.
"Were you able to get that crown back?" She had already guessed the answer but just had to hear it.
"No, I think the only way to get it is if Sunset wins it back," Hoops said. Gilda rubbed her temple with her fingers and cursed under her breath.
"Well that's just fan-fucking-tastic! I need you and the others to get that crown back win it or not I don't care! Trixie is really getting on my nerves right now and I'M GONNA BE SO PISSED OFF IF TRIXIE GETS ON MY ASS ONE MORE TIME!"
"Of course, we'll make sure we'll get that crown," Hoops quickly replied as Dumbell nodded in agreement. Gilda took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and asked, "And where is Garble?"
"He's in the Cafeteria collecting all the student's money. It's that time of week again."
Inside the Cafeteria, Lance had met Flash and his friends and was sitting at the table with them. Apparently Microchips was the first person Lance met who had a 107 average in all his classes. Something he never thought was possible. As they were eating, Lance noticed Fluttershy sitting alone at a table. Lance felt a bit bad because he knew when it was his first day, he had no one to sit with. Fortunatley, or rather unfortunatley for her, a boy came over towards her. He was dark red skinned and had yellow hair. He had on a black jacket and jeans plus a pair of athletic tennis shoes. He approach Fluttershy and even though Lance and his lunchmates were decently far away, they could hear every word the boy is saying.
Fluttershy tried her best to ignore the boy but he approached her with a shark grin on his face. He then held out his hand like he was expecting a payment of some sort. "You know what time it is, Fluttershy?" He asked codly. Fluttershy looked down.
"I-I don't have it," she said barely above a whisper. The boy made a sarcastic laugh.
"Oh um, I'm sorry but didn't I warn you a few days prior that every Thursday is when you need to turn in five bucks?"
Fluttershy started to whimper. "I-I-I'm sorry. I promise I'll bring it it next time just please leave me alone!"
The boy grabbed Fluttershy by the hair with one hand and with the other, threw her lunch tray at her face creating a mess all over her shirt and face. He violently shoved her onto the floor and landed a really hard kick to her sides. Fluttershy started to cry even harder. Something Lance did not fail to notice. Seeing how this poor girl was treated made him extremely pissed. He could hear the boy's sadistic laughter. "You really picked the wrong time to forget huh? Oh you're crying? boohoo! First you take something that isn't yours and now you forget to pay up!" he snapped harshly.
"I'm really sorry! Please just leave me alone I promise I'll bring the money next ti-" the boy grabbed her by the hair making her yelp and snarled,
"Sorry...does...not cut it, Fluttercunt!" He looked around the entire cafeteria and everyone had been watching. "Was there anyone else who forgot?!" Everyone else shook their heads and frantically dug through their backpacks for their five dollar bills just for this occasion.
"What the actually hell is wrong with you!" Lance hollered across the room. "How depress do you have to be to pick on an innocent girl?!"
Everyone in the cafeteria went silent and the boy turned his head over to Lance. He let go of Fluttershy and walked towards him. "Well who might you be? A newbie perhaps?" he chuckled. "Boy I remember my first day here. Always wanting to be the hero am I right? Who might you be? Her boyfriend?" he taunted. Lance's face went red and he started to get more pissed off.
"Shut your mouth, dipshit!"
The boy made a fake gasp. "Oh my, you do have anger issues. Isn't that shocking?" He then smiled at him and said, "Do you know who I am? Since you're new here let me introduce myself: Name's Garble. If there's one thing I've learned is that fear keeps everyone in line and respects you."
"They fear you yeah, but they certainly don't respect you for taking other people's money," Lance said coldly. Garble put his hands in the air.
"Hey, this was not my idea. If you have a problem you can talk to Trixie about it. I'm sure she would be very happy to respond to your request." he said. "And since it's your first day, you get a free pass for today." He marched over to Fluttershy and picked her up by the front of her shirt. Tear tracks were clearly visible as she looked at him in fear. "And as for you, Klutzershy. Next week you owe me ten dollars or else I'll have Gilda go after you won't that be fun?"
Fluttershy nodded. "I p-p-promise." she cried. Garble's phone rang and he saw Trixie was calling him. He decided answering his phone was more important so he finally left Fluttershy alone (though not for the last time) and answered. He stepped out on the hallways and waited for a few seconds to take a breath and speak. Lance quickly ran over to Fluttershy and helped her up. She was still shaky over that terrifying encounter so he figured talking in a gentle voice would help calm her down.
"Hey I'm really sorry about what happened. Are you okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine. I just forgot my money and-and," Fluttershy sniffed.
"Hey you don't owe that asshole anything. He's just a sadistic bully who's probably had a miserable existence."
"Why are you being so nice to me? I don't even know you at all." she continued to cry.
"I know what it's like to get bullied. Trust me it's not fun," Lance said with a smile. "Oh uh here i guess. If you want to buy a new lunch". He said fishing a twenty dollar bill from his pocket and handing it to her.
Fluttershy looked at it great fully and gave him a hug. He wasn't expecting that response thus his eyes briefly widened but nonetheless he hugged her back. After they broke apart Fluttershy looked at him,
"No one's ever been this nice to me besides Score," she said softly.
"You have to tell Principal Celestia about this," Lance told her. Fluttershy's shook her head.
"He almost never gets in trouble. And even if he does he always come back."
"Well we should at least let Score know. Maybe he'll do something about it."
"Score had said that he'll try to put a stop to it but nothing seems to be happening."
Okay that is a huge red flag Lance thought, but it might just be taking a bit of time..
Meanwhile Garble made sure that no one was around him when he answered the phone. Even then he spoke in a quiet tone.
"Yeah, Trixie what's up?"
"Good news for you, Garble. I'm putting you in charge of getting Sunset's crown back. The Alpha and I have decided that you were a better fit. We don't know why we didn't know any better but we realized you are more capapble than that fucking incompetent Gilda."
"Wow, thanks. Quite surprised honestly but Gilda is not going to be happy about this."
"I'm not surprised. Oh I'm going to have so much fun telling her!". Trixie said as she hung up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To say Gilda wasn't happy was an understatement. When Trixie had told her the news in person, Gilda had never been so angry before. "SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOU'RE PUTTING SOMEONE ABOVE ME JUST BECAUSE HE KISSES YOUR ASS?!"
Trixie sighed. "No Gilda! Trixie decided to put Garble in charge because unlike you he's more capable. Yeah you may be strong and violent but he actually has a brain that can work!"
"Oh really, well let's see how long he can last!" Gilda's face started to twitch in rage.
"About that, Gilda. If Trixie see's one bruise on Garble from you. I'll make sure you regret ever meeting me DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!"
"FINE! BUT IF HE FAILS YOU DON'T GO CRYING THAT YOUR PRECIOUS LAPDOG FAILED YOU!" Gilda screamed as she stomped away.
