//------------------------------// // Chapter XII // Story: Well, This Is Unexpected // by TheKing2001 //------------------------------// “So how was hanging out with Lyra and her friends?” Rainbow asked as I flopped on the floor of the library. Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie and Fluttershy were sitting on the couches as they all looked to me. “It was enlightening. Lyra kidnapped me, Bon Bon took me home and yeah.” “She did what?” Applejack demanded as she raised an eyebrow slightly. “Bon Bon took me home?” “No, no Ah got that. Ah meant the part before that. About Lyra kidnapping you. Why?” “She wanted to interrogate me further about Equestria and take some samples.” They all stared at me as Rainbow stood up. “I’m gonna go talk to her. That shit can’t fly,” Rainbow snapped as she placed her hands on her hips. “I mean, what if you had a concussion?” “Just leave her alone. I mean, she technically did be a bit responsible and brought me to Bon Bon. And I didn’t have a concussion. The three of us would have known and both of them checked. It’s whatever,” I said as Rainbow gave me a stunned look. “And according to Bon Bon, Lyra did help take care of my injuries while I was out. Granted, there was yelling involved mainly from Bon Bon, but she still helped.” “No it’s not whatever!” Rainbow shouted as Miss Cheerilee shot her a dirty look. “Oops. But I mean, it’s still a crime. No matter how responsible she really was. At least she did help bandage you up while you were unconscious like you said.” “So how did you and Bon Bon get along?” Pinkie asked and gave me a smug grin. “Did you and her get together or get it on?” Rainbow burst out laughing as Fluttershy and I blushed. Applejack slammed her hand into her face as Rarity gasped and glared at Pinkie. “Pinkie Pie! We do not ask the nature of our friends sex life,” Rarity chided as Pinkie scoffed. “Maybe you don’t!” Pinkie sang as she leaned forward to me. “Well?” “No we did not have sex and we did not get together. I told her I wasn’t exactly ready for a relationship. I have some uh other things to do first,” I admitted as Pinkies face fell. “Like what?” Fluttershy raised an eyebrow slightly as I shrugged. “Nothing. Personal business,” I muttered as Applejack narrowed her eyes slightly at me. “Ya are a bad liar,” Applejack pointed out as Rarity stared at me. Thank the lord the bell rang. Saved by the bell and all. “Oh look at the time,” I said as I shot to my feet. “Gotta go!” “We are gonna talk about this later!” Rainbow shouted after me as I took off. Hopefully not. I narrowly avoided another student as I navigated the hall to class, passing a closet as a hand shot out and dragged me inside. “Gah!” I yelped as the door shut and the light came on. “Trixie, what the fuck?” Trixie and her two friends or whatever they were sat on some boxes along with some other girls I’ve seen but didn’t know their names. Tennis Match smirked and waved as I smiled back. “Trixie is spending time with her friends duh,” Trixie rolled her eyes as she yawned. “Obviously, haven’t you ever had a friend before?” “No, not really.” “Good god. We really have our work cut out for us,” Fuchsia scoffed and leaned back. “That’s Cloudkicker, Blueberry Cake, Baton Switch, Raindrops and Blossomforth. You already know Tennis.” “Cloudy is my cousin,” Lavender added as Cloudkicker bounced a soccerball up and down before glaring at Trixie who glared back and I got the feeling they didn’t get entirely along. Trixie was a unique personality, she was the only one who really stood up to me whenever I bullied her. “So why exactly am I in here?” I asked as Tennis Match shrugged. “We always meet in here. Figured we’d grant you access. It’s like our private area,” Tennis Match explained as she gave both Trixie and Cloudkicker looks. “Well, most of us get along. I can’t say the same for all of us.” “Mh.” “Did you really have to drag her in here Trixie?” Raindrops demanded as the yellow girl stood up. “You couldn’t have like asked her to come in or something?” “This was the more fun and dramatic option.” “Worse than Rarity,” Raindrops grumbled and raised an eyebrow slightly before smirking faintly as Trixie gasped. “Do not compare Trixie to that drama queen! She’s the worse of the worst that Canterlot High has to offer!” Trixie proclaimed as we all stared at her. “And what’s the best that Canterlot High has to offer?” Blueberry Cake asked curiously as she folded her arms. “Why, moi of course! Trixie is the greatest girl at Canterlot High!” We all groaned except for Lavender and Fuchsia as they both chuckled. I watched them all started arguing as Blossomforth and Baton stood next to me. Lavender watched from her seat with a bored expression as Trixie shot to her feet and started yelling at Cloudkicker. “Are they always like this?” I asked idly as Blueberry Cake threw her hands in the air and continued shouting at Cloudkicker. “More or less, yeah. You get used to it,” Baton Switch commented as I stared at her. I had partially forgotten she was the band major for the school band. I don’t even think the band does anything in general. She continued twirling a baton between her hands as she watched. “They’re a pretty decent group though,” Blossomforth admitted. “Especially Cloudkicker. I don’t really get out much. I wouldn’t even be here if it wasn’t for her?” “In this room or alive?” “In this room,” Blossomforth clarified after laughing. “Raindrops is nice but she has anger issues, Trixie is well Trixie, Blueberry Cake is one of the more out there girls when it comes to what she wears. Gets along with Rarity fairly well. Baton is scarily similar to Cloudkicker with how confident she can be about being right.” “I’m right next to you.” “I know,” Blossomforth answered and Baton grumbled incoherent curse words. “Lavender is the nicest of the group along with me and Fuchsia just says what ever is on her mind. She has no real filter and isn’t afraid to say what she thinks. And you already know Tennis so you know what she is like.” “Heard Lyra kidnapped you the other day,” Baton said casually and I gave her a stunned look. I hadn’t know it got around that fast. “Don’t worry, she did it to me once too. She wanted to ask me questions about a potential Bigfoot sighting I had that I posted about. She’s certainly a unique individual, but very nice in her own way. Definitely not the craziest Canterlot High has.” “What’s the craziest?” “Screw Loose.” “You mean the girl who thinks she’s a dog and runs down the hallway barking at people?” I asked and Baton gave me a thumbs up. “Mhm.” “You think we should stop them?” Blossomforth asked worriedly as Lavender finally joined in on arguing. “Nah. Let them sort it out,” Baton decided as we both looked at each other and shrugged. The three of us stood there as Tennis Match jammed her finger into Fuchsia’s chest and continued yelling. How these girls were friends, I’ll never know.
