Chapter 10: Welcome to MHS
After theater class, you make you way to biology class. ‘Another day at Ms. Bell’s domain’ you thought. You had half hoped that Raindrops was there, just to ease the boredom. You got that feeling that you should be outside, playing the sunshine instead of doing bullshit.
After you entered the room, you saw that the room is deserted. You checked the time and saw that you were two hours early. You forgot that Ms. Blueberry gave you all an early dismissal. You silently cursed and left the room, headed for the cafeteria.
While silently muttering about class schedules, you accidentally bumped into a girl. Without looking up, you mutter your apologies and continue on your way. After a few moments of walking, you arrived at the cafeteria. You sighed and walked over to the counter.
“Heya Scarf!” You forgot that it was Pinkie Pie’s turn to operate the cafeteria today. Or maybe she didn’t tell you in the first place. Whatever the reason is, you didn’t care.
“What can I do for you today?” She asked, leaning on her elbows on the counter top.
“Ben Dover, please.”
“I’m already doing it.” She said, eyes half-lidded. You and her both share a moment and laughed heartily.
“A cup of coffee, please?” You said, the remnants of a smile were still plastered on your face.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to pose for you?”
“Pinkie, coffee. NOW. Please?”
“Okie dokie lokie!” She sang as she made her way towards the back. You waited for a couple of moments before reemerged. You grinned when you saw her holding a steaming cup of coffee in her hands.
“One steaming cup of coffee for my Scarfie warfie!” She sang.
“Uhh, thanks. I guess.” You said uneasily as you carefully take the cup from her hands. There was something creepy in her song that made you feel uneasy.
‘Scarfie warfie?’ You thought. ‘Pinkie was the only one I know who can say a cute nickname in creepy way…’ You thought the scene over and over, until finally drawing a conclusion.
‘Her voice suddenly climbs several octaves while she sang is cute too. In its own way. I wonder what I’m supposed to do now. Maybe I’m gonna do my assignmen- Oh look boobs.’
You stare at the wonderful pair in front of you, silently sipping the coffee while basking in the warmth of the huge pair of-
“Excuse me?” The girl in front of you said. You suddenly realized that each pair of boobies belong to a woman, and does not exist on their own accord. You slowly move you gave up to her face and, HOLY MOTHER OF GAWD! She is hot.
“Y-yes?” You stammer, almost dropping your coffee in the process.
“I believe we had met before, earlier this morning to be exact. We met in the corridor down this hall?” A girl, about your height, give or take a few inches, had a flowing hair of light blue, light green, cobalt blue and a light shed of pink. You took a moment of gazing at her face before thinking about what she said.
“I didn’t-” You pause in thought. Suddenly it dawned on you. “Ooh, sorry about bumping earlier. I was in a hurry.”
“In a hurry, huh? For what exactly?” You grimaced.
“Well, you got me,” you raise your hands in defeat, “I was such an ass earlier. Sorry. I’m Scarf, by the way.” You extend your hand.
“My name is Celestia, and don’t worry about earlier. All is forgiven.” She winked. You sighed in relief and began walking towards and empty seat in the corner.
“On a condition.” Your eyes lurched into your head as they try to face the girl as fast as possible.
“You must buy me some cake.” She smiled. You turned your head back towards her with your puppy eyes expression.
“B-but, I don’t have any more money.” You tried to sound more pathetically than you really are.
“I believe that Pinkie Pie is a close friend of yours.” She smirked.
“She- I don’t know her.” Your eyes automatically looked away.
“Oh really, I’m going to tell her that you don’t want to be her friend anymore.” She turned a full one eighty and headed for the counter.
“Wait! I’ll get your cake for you. Please, stand back.” You sighed in defeat.
“Good.” She smiled wide in a pure, wicked triumphant way. You walked to the counter once more. Pinkie smiled at you when she saw you coming.
“Heya Scarf! Again.” She grinned.
“Heya, Pinkie. Do you have any more…?” You started. “I don’t suppose you still have some bit of cake left in there?”
“Yup. There’s still a bunch of them.” You sighed in relief.
“Good. Three slices, please?”
“Okie dokie!”
“Three slices of chocolate goodness shoved into a little plate, coming right up!” She said.
“Uhh, Pinks? Can I have one more plate?”
“Sure!” After she gave you the cake slices, you scan the area for Celestia. You found her seated on the chair that you were supposed to sit on. Damn girl must’ave special powers.
You silently walk over to her, holding the cake in one hand and your coffee in the other. As you set down the plates on the table, you noticed that her eyes widened significantly.
“Hungry are we?” You teased.
“Gimme.” She grabbed one plate and began reaching for the dessert. You smiled and gave her the two slices of sugary chocolate goodness, might have been a gift from above.
You watched as Celestia devoured the two slices of cake. Once she had finished hers, she looked at you expectantly. Sighing, you offered her the plate which she took with a smile.
“Oh man, Pinkie Pie ish really good making thish shtuff.” Celestia tried to talk through her cake, still stuck in her mouth.
“I agree.” You said, sipping your coffee. You looked up and saw that it was nearly an hour after you have arrived at the cafeteria.
“Welp, gotta dash. See you later.” You said, picking up your stuff.
“Wait,” Celestia said, getting up from the table, “we can walk together.”
“Sure. Just, hurry up.”
Celestia had to leave you for her Physics class in the middle of your trek, leaving you alone walking towards the room. Once you saw the room marked “Biology Lab”, you sighed in relief.
As you walked into the room, you saw that students had piled up in the room since the last hour. Although there were many of them, Fluttershy and Raindrops were nowhere in sight. Sighing, you sat down at the very back of the room and let everything around you drift away…
After 5 hours of agonizing boredom, your schedule was finally done. You crashed down the cafeteria one final time and ordered two bottles of root beer. Pinkie served the acidic beverages with her usual quirky manner. Once she handed the drinks, you bade her good night and headed for the ‘Leviathan’.
After 5 minutes of lying on the grass underneath the massive tree, your phone rang. You dragged the phone out of your pocket and noted that it was 22:00. You sighed and answered the call.
“Hey Scarf!” It was Rainbow.
“Hey. How’s it going?”
“I’m fine. Where are you?” She said.
“I’m underneath my tree getting some alone time with myself.” You chuckled at your own joke.
“Okay,” she said then hung up. You just assumed that she was on the way to the Leviathan, and tucked your phone into your pocket and continued to star gaze. You gazed at the stars and took in all of their beauty. You had this little fantasy when you were just little. It was that all the stars above are actually different planets scattered all across the night sky.
Now that you are a grown up man, you know now that they are actually made up of gases that are made to fuck your shit if you get too close. But, that still doesn’t betray the fact that they are so damn beautiful.
“Beautiful aren’t they.” A female voice said.
“Mmhmm.” You mumbled.
“I’m Luna by the way.” She said, sitting next to you. You looked at her and noticed that she too ish too damn beautiful.
She was wearing a midnight blue dress that blend well with our surroundings. She had a perfect white skin tone and was a little shorter than you were. You estimated that you were taller than her by about 5 inches. But the most intresting aspect about her was her hair.
Her hair was a flowing type, like Celestia’s, although this one has only two colors in it. It had a translucent midnight blue on the outside and on the inside, it was more… opaque, more significant, cobalt blue. Glittering stars appeared to be twinkling inside her hair, making it more awesome. You took a moment to gaze at it before answering.
“I’m Scarf.” You said, pointing at the towel at your left shoulder.
“But, that’s a towel.” She said.
“I know right. But Pinkie said that it was, so no one argued.” You shrugged and you heard her giggle.
“What?” You raised an eyebrow.
“Nothing. I just remembered that Pinkie Pie wore a chicken costume on last year’s Nightmare Night.” She said and continued giggling.
“Really? Can you show me a picture?” You asked. You and her both laugh at the picture for a few moments before moments.
“Say, Luna,” you said, “you kinda look like Celestia.”
“Probably, they say that she and I look exactly the same. Some say we don’t.”
“Your hair is…” You start but she cut you off.
“I know. It looks a lot like my sister’s.”
“So Celestia’s your sister hmmm,” you concluded, “well, she does love cake.”
“Really?” She said. It was almost unbelievable for her not to know that her sister loves cake, so maybe she’s dropping one of does sarcastic ‘I-know-right’ lines.
“She made me treat her cake just for bumping her in the corridor.”
“I didn’t know sister would stoop that low,” she paused as she looked at the time, “woops, I gotta go. She’s probably waiting for me. It’s been a great time meeting you. Bye.” You watch her wave as she ran down the path towards Building B.
You sighed and moved up to the tree itself and closed your eyes. After a few minutes, you saw the familiar rainbow-headed girl walk down the large patch that covers about one-third of MHS. She had a scowl on her face and looked like she was ready to burst.
“Scarf!” She called. You can already sense the anger in her voice. You crack open one eye and saw that she was now standing in front of you.
“Yes?” You said as calmly as possible.
“What were you doing in the past 2 hours?” She almost shouted.
“Uhh, staying under my tree?”
“Don’t tell me you fell asleep.”
“I uhh- maybe?” Rainbow sighed and her expression softened.
“You got me so worried, Scarf.” She said and sat down next to you.
“I figured. Here, have some root beer.” You hand over the beer which had sleeping pills inside it. Not that you wanted to rape her or sumthin’, you just figured that it would be funny if she was drugged for a day.
You talked with her after a while and the drug’s effect began to kick in.
“Scawf?” She said, rather sultry.
“Yes?”
“Can you cawwy me into the dowm?” She said, dropping her face on your shoulder. “Pwease?” She said.
“Fine.” You grinned and sat on one knee, waiting for her to get on. After a while she fell onto your back, snoring. Cursing, you grab her thighs and stood up. She almost fell on your first try so you sat back down again.
After a few tries, you were finally able to carry her properly. After several steps, Rainbow stirred and mumbled something.
“Scawf?” She finally said.
“Yes?”
“Did you ewer fell in wov with someone?” She asked.
“Yeah. But she’s gone now.” You said.
“Do you want to fall in wov agwain?” She said.
“That would be nice, but I got studies to worry about.”
“I wike you, Scawf.” She said, dropping her head once more into your left shoulder and began tracing circles into your hair.
“Really?”
“Yes. Don’t you like me?” You went silent this time.
“I wasn’t really serious back then, if that’s what you’re thinking.” You sighed grimly.
“But… I… thought you wiked me back then…” She sounded like she’s sobbing.
“Ti amo, per favore, non rovinare tutto.” She said. This time, you stopped. It felt like a hammer was suddenly dropped on your chest.
“Dash…” You whispered. “I… I’m sorry.” She was still sobbing on your back. Then she jumped off of your back and ran the whole way, crying. You just stood there in shock, confusion, and most of all guilt.
‘Was I really serious back then?’ You thought. ‘Thinking back, I see that I wasn’t really serious. About the times we chased each other, the time that we kissed. The time we spent under that tree... Was I really serious?
You make your way back to Building C. When you open the door to your room, you saw that no one was there. There was no Steven, no Octavia, only a sobbing Rainbow Dash.
“Dash…”
“So you’ve finally arrived?” Dash said, anger filling her voice.
“I’m sorry Dash. I just –…”
“What? You just weren’t serious back then? That you just played with me like your toy? What am I to you?”
“It’s not like that.” You say.
“Really? Then what do you mean by ‘I wasn’t really serious back then’, huh?” Dash awaited for your response, but none came. “You fooled me, Scarf. You played me into liking you so that you can hurt me afterwards. I’m really, really disappointed in you, Scarf. Don’t talk to me forever.” She said and lied in her bed with her bad towards you. You lied in your own bed and thought over what happened. You thought about it over and over and over again. It seemed really hopeless for you and Dash to be together once more.
Then you realized, you had three options.
1.)Kill yourself.
2.)Be a pussy and run away.
3.)Man up and revive your relationship with Dash.
‘Number 2 it is. You got up and looked at Dash. Her naturally messy rainbow hair looked messier than usual. She still had stains on her face that showed where her tears dropped from her eyes. There was a strong urge to hug her and never let go, but you resisted that urge. You smiled as you knew that this is probably the last time you’ll ever see her. You then grabbed all your clothes and shoved them into a travelling bag you saw in the cabinet. It was Steven’s but you didn’t care. Next, you hid your laptop into the very top of one of the cabinets in the closet. Once you were done, you grab your travelling bag and slung it over your shoulder.
“I love you, Dash.” You said as you left a small note on the bedside table and left the room. Then, you quickly headed for the exit. As you come upon the massive gate, you said to the guard that your gonna go out for a while. Thankfully, he let you despite it being so late in the evening.
Your phone rang a couple of minutes later. You saw that it was Dash and purposely hung up. After about 2 calls later, she sent a text message.
Scarf, please don’t do this. I’m sorry if I broke your heart. You broke mine too but, please, don’t go. You’re the only thing that matters most to me. Please.
You sighed and texted her back.
If you really mean it, meet me at the Starbucks café outside. NOW
You then proceeded to bang your phone on your head. You realized that you should have stayed and hugged her and apologize. It would be easier that way but NO! You pussied out and you are now facing the consequences. It would very difficult now to earn Dash’s trust back.
After a couple minutes of waiting, you were tackled to the ground by a figure. It wore a dark jacket and had denim pants.
“Gimme all your money!” She demanded.
“Dash?” You said, confused. The perpetrator removed her hood and it was revealed that it was actually Rainbow Dash. Now you noticed something peculiar about her. Her face was clean now; tear stains are no more! The next thing is she is grinning so happily that it can be deduced that nothing happened between you two earlier. The last and the most disturbing thing was, her face seemed to glow. The glow seemed to make her more beautiful and … awesome?
“Dash?” You repeated.
“I’m really, really sorry about what happened. I should have acted better than that. Not cry like a girl.”
“Technically Dash, you are a girl.”
“Yes but, that’s beside the point. The point is that the situation could have been better if we didn’t act like dicks.”
“Yeah. So…. I think you and I both deserve a punishment for that.”
“I agree. So Scarf, you’re not supposed to play games for a whole week!” She said pulling you up.
“Well, I suppose I’m still allowed to play that game.”
“What game?”
“You know, the one you and I both enjoy. That game?” You smirked.
“Pervert!” She stuck her tongue out.
“Alright. So Dash, you are not supposed to cuddle or kiss me in one day.”
“Aww, I think I might break that one.” She hugged you tight and kissed you feverously. Not the kiss-him-lightly-or-he’ll-might-get-hurt kiss. Oh no, not that. It more like the kiss-him-so-hard-so-that-he’ll-know-that-you-mean-business kiss. So you kissed her back with equal enthusiasm.
‘Oh look! Kissing time! Quick, more movement! Rub her sides! Deploy tongue!’ Your brain tried to catch up with Dash’s ferocity, but still failed so you let her take the lead. You could feel her pulse rising. You could feel her tongue dance around yours, subtly displaying dominance. You continued like this for what felt like hours.
You broke the kiss because you need to catch your fucking breaths.
“Let’s continue this at the dorm.” She said.
“Okay.” You smiled. “So, we’re back together again?”
She smirked and said, “Not officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet cause in that case, you gotta take me out on a date first. But yeah, I think we’re good…” She shrugged.
“When’s a good time to take you on a date?”
“How ‘bout tomorrow. Underneath the tree.”
“Yup, underneath the tree where our fight began. Good idea.” You grabbed her hand as you both reenter Manehattan High School, where shitty things like this happen.
