Chapter 78: Party

Skywalker finally reach SCC, walking up a set of stairs to the apartment above. He knocks on the door, hoping Pinkie will be there. He waits for the door to open for at least a minute, tapping his foot on the floor.

After knocking again and the same results happen. Skywalker sigh in disappointment. "Pinkie must not be here then." he said out loud as he made turn around. Suddenly a playful voice from a familiar friend says aloud behind him, "I'm not here for what, you silly??"

Skywalker jump up and turn around to see Pinkie staring at him with her signature smile and big blue-eyes, she wears a simple yellow loose shirt with short sleeves. Her legs wear a big striped socks that reach up to her frilly skirt. "Hey Pinkie! I was hoping to talk to you.", he started, his friends face beams with happiness, she bounces up and down which make her skirt & shirt show off some of her skin "REALLY!?

Skywalker quickly cover Pinkie's mouth with his hand, she blinks and tilts her head as she looks at him. He had forgotten how she can go on and on. "Sorry." he said as he moved his hand from her mouth. Started to explain that he was planing a party at his house and that he could use her help.

"Oh, that will be easy-peasy, and today's a perfect day since the shop's closed.", she said as Skywalker handed her his spare key of his house. "Thanks, I have a few things to take care off. When I am done picking up some stuff I will meet back at my place to help you set up." Pinkie gave him a salute, "Okey-dokey-lokey leader!".

Skywalker arrived at the Hero River Bank, at the same time as Flash, who had requested him to come here. Flash was giving him a solemn look. "Jason, There's something I wanted to tell you.", he started turning his gaze towards the ground. "Somewhere deep down... I didn't trust you. No, it is more that I am jealous of you.", the blue haired teen started, as Skywalker listened carefully to him, like he always does, "I thought you were like me... Coming from the city to the countryside, I thought you'd be bored out of your mind here. But as soon as you got here, you stood up to Sunset Shimmer... Became our leader, gathered people... You're a hero. I like you for that, and I'm proud of you... But I guess I was jealous at the same time.".

Skywalker rubbed the back of his head, admitting that it can't be helped and that it was human. "You get jealous of people, too? I can't picture it... When I called you 'special,' I thought some more about it. So... Hit me with everything you have!", Flash suddenly shouted, taking the other teen by surprise. "Give me a good one. Knock out all this crap inside of me. I want to be equal with you. I want us to stand shoulder-to-shoulder.", he spread his arms. Skywalker flexed his shoulders, "Then let's get equal!", he shouted as he takes a fighting stance.

Now it was Flash turn to be surprised, "Huh?... But I have no reason to... I get it now. If we're 'equal,' then... I guess you're right." takes a fighting stance. The two charged at each other, both aiming to punch the other in the face.

Meanwhile, in front of Mizu's Japanese dinner, Sutakira and Big Mac walk past it until the blue haired teen notice a sign, "The Meat Lover's Combo... Just like it says in the name, you really have to love meat to order it.", Sutakira said. "I wanna try it, but it's always sold out... Just when Skywalker leave with two bags.", Big Mac noted. Sutakira was taken a back by this, "Don't tell me, did Skywalker... D-Don't answer that. I'm not sure I want to know for sure that a friend of mine has the appetite of a starved wolf...", and the two continued to walk.

Back over at the Hero River banks, Skywalker has it brawled out with Flash Sentry and the two were laying down in the grass, there arms spread wide. "Ugh... Your punches are brutal... I was seeing stars there for a second...", Flash noted, as his friend merely nodded. "But thanks, man... I don't know how to say it, but... That sure beat words.", he hands his friend a Buddy's Bandage, telling him if he starts bleeding to put that on. "You know, we should fight more often."

Skywalker jumped back to his feet, ready for another round. "Not now!", Flash said alarmed, his friend having a pout on his face. He sits back down as the two looked up at the sky, "The sky is so high up. Jason, I'm going to live. Without lying to myself, without deceiving myself. Days like today, days like before when I did nothing. They're all important days. Let's keep at it, so we can live every day with a smile... Leader."


Central shopping district, in front of Mizu's Japanese dinner. Skywalker and Rainbow finished today's training and decided to stop. "Steak bowl or a combo plate...", Rainbow muttered, "The ultimate decision..." he added. "I-I don't have any more...", they heard a little kid say.
"It can't be.", Skywalker muttered as he run towards the voices, his friend following him. In a small ally way, they saw Garble, Dumb-Bell and Hoops surrounding a little kid. "Hey, someone's here.", Dumb-Bell said. Garble shouted that they would just take their money while they were at it.

"What are you up to!?", Skywalker shouted, seeing the scared child crying made his blood boil. Hoops seemed to recognized Skywalker, muttering afraid, "It's him!". Garble got a nasty smile on his face, letting out a chuckle. "You look like you have something planned!", Dumb-Bell said, gaining an equally nasty smile. Skywalker could feel his heart break a little as the kid looked at him pleadingly, begging him for help.

Skywalker quickly strode forward, and stood still between the kid and the three bullies. Rainbow stood by his side, ready to jump into action to help her friend. "Hear that, Jason Skywalker. He wants help.", Garble said, surprising Skywalker a little that he knew his full name.
"We had a friendly chat with Sunset Shimmer. She told us all kinds of stuff. Like where you live, and about that precious 'Fluttershy' of yours.", Skywalker clenched his fist seeing what Garble was trying to get at, the only reason he wasn't beaten to a bloody pulp was that Skywalker didn't want to give the child a trauma.

"So, we are just gonna have a little chat with this kid. Stay put, okay? Cause who knows what'll happen to 'Fluttershy' if you get in our way?", Garble said with a satisfied smirk, thinking he had Skywalker. Garble's two friends laughter filled Skywalker's ears, his eyes flashed red.
"Cowards! Ganging up on a kid! You should be ashamed!", Skywalker said as he approach Garble, "Kid, close your eyes. Rainbow keep the kid save.", Skywalker told her.

The kid covered his eyes with his small hands as Skywalker became a blur of motion. Delivering swift kicks and punches to the three bullies, who couldn't react in time. Skywalker gave Garble a sweep and started to punch his face in. Hoops, who had a broken nose and a black eye tried to attack Skywalker from behind, but was knocked to the ground by a fast half-moon kick.

Looking over his work, Skywalker stood up, whipped some blood from his fists. Grabbing Garble by his arm, Skywalker forced him to look at him, "If I EVER hear you have been bullying again OR when I hear you try to do ANYTHING to Fluttershy, I will come back to break the other one.", before Garble could ask "What other one?", Skywalker broke Garble's arm. Skywalker spotted Dumb-Bell and Hoops trying to get away, so Skywalker picked up a random brick and threw it at them, hitting Dumb-Bell square in the back of the head.

"Good arm.", Rainbow said as she and Skywalker guided the kid back to the main street. After making sure the kid was fine, he gave them a tearful 'thank you'. "Oh, no, don't worry about it.", Skywalker said as he guided the child back home, "You've been trough enough, go home."

A few minutes later we found the two sitting on a bench in the park, Skywalker's heart still pounding. "...Was that stupid of me?", he asked his Rainbow haired friend. "You protected that kid and it all turned out okay.", she reassured her friend that he did the right thing. "I'll keep watch on Fluttershy for awhile, so don't worry about that."

"I'll help too, she my girlfriend after all.", he said, making Rainbow nod, those guys would be crazy to try anything to Fluttershy is Skywalker was with her after that kind of trashing. "It might have been stupid, but I wanted to save them... That kid, Fluttershy. How I feel about this isn't fake. I really want to protect them.", Skywalker is smiling gently.

And so the evening arrived, after Skywalker arrive back at his house, he and Pinkie quickly finish setting up, the other guests soon arrive to the party. Once everyone was present, Pinkie shouted, "Let's get this party STARTED!" chimes as she turns on the music.

The party was great and about an hour into the party, McGrath was walking around enjoying a few beers, until he felt someone tap his shoulder. Turning around he saw Rarity, the beautiful violet haired girl looking at him with a smile and a hopeful look in her azure blue eyes as she grasps his hands gently. "Rarity? Hey." McGrath say as he turns to face her. Rarity blushes slightly and glances back at where Pinkie, Phoenix, Flash Sentry and Twilight are showing off their crazy dance moves. "Hello McGrath..." Rarity said in a soft voice, she let's go of his arm, he can tell by her body language, the fiddling of her fingers, the little tap of her feet kicking the floor, the little blush on her face. McGrath knows she wants to ask him something.

"Something wrong?" he asked her bluntly. Rarity opens her mouth to say something, but shuts it and pouts with her arms crossed. "I just wanted to ask... if you... do the honors of dancing with me." Rarity asked, her expression shows a fear of rejection. McGrath shrug his shoulders, before giving a little bow of respect to Rarity. "Of course Milady.". Rarity's eyes flutter, a big smile arouses from her lips. She returns his gesture with a little courtesy, the girl is dressed in a sexy looking red-velvet top with tight skinny jeans.

"T-thank you, McGrath." Rarity says with a little hitch in her tone. The song ends, the next song changes into something more slow. Suddenly, Skywalker's house gets a bit dark, a disco ball pops out from the ceiling where the fan was. The room illuminates with shinning little lights sparkling around the whole room as the disco ball spins, McGrath covers his face as it spins and hits some of the glare into his eyes.
Skywalker suddenly appears right behind the two. "Waaa!! Skywalker! What is the meaning of this!" Rarity asked, McGrath was about to ask the same thing but their friend simply said, "You can thank me later!" then pushes the two into the center of the dance floor.

As they both stumble back on their feet and try to understand what the heck has happened. McGrath quickly notice the pairs of eyes staring at him and Rarity.

Rarity's hand grips against to get his attention. McGrath looks at Rarity with a weak grin, "I wasn't, you know expecting this.", he tells her truthfully. Rarity smiles sadly, "You don't have to, darling if you...". He quickly silence her by taking her hand and kissing it, causing Rarity to blush with a look of astonishment. "May I have this dance?" he ask her. The girl looks up into his eyes, she nods her head fast and quickly, not evening saying any words.

Smiling at her reaction, McGrath pulls her closer, her body pressing against his. Holding her right arm up while his left hand rest against the beautiful girl's waist. Taking a deep breath, they both look into each others eyes and begin to slow dance along with the romantic melody.

It felt amazing to say the least, every step he took with Rarity, every breath he felt from her as they both mimicked each other movement, to when they both press their foreheads together as they both look into each others eyes. Its felt magical, felt like nobody was there, only the spotlight that shined on McGrath and Rarity. Just the two of them.

Then the music finally ends, McGrath and Rarity stop, their eyes looking deep into each other. The heat of the moment hasn't died out in him, his face leans in closer to Rarity's. The Fashion girl seems not to mind as she twist her head, readying to except your kiss. It is cut short by the sounds of clapping and the stamping of shoes. McGrath's eyes widen and he pulls back to look around the room to Rarity's disappointment.
Skywalker and Fluttershy slowly clapping their hands with a smile while both Phoenix and Rainbow Dash give a wolf whistle and stamps on their feet.

Twilight seem's to take everything she saw as a lesson, since she's writing something down in her portable notebook. Sutakira and Flash seemed to be taking mental notes. Applejack, Big Mac, and Griffifth were just clapping Pinkie's being Pinkie by hoping up and down while clapping like a giddy school filly.

Early in the morning, when the party shimmered down, most of his core friend had decided to sleep over and had fallen asleep on the couch.
The only ones still awake were Skywalker, Twilight, Rainbow, McGrath, Griffifth and Flash. The six of them started to play a mock group date, but there was one problem. "How are we going to do that? With four dudes and only two chicks?", McGrath asked, the guys were suddenly surprised to see Skywalker sit on the girls side. "Damn that was fast!", Flash muttered as Skywalker spoke in his most girly voice, "Take a seat please.", which sounds a lot like Twilight by the way. The other sat down as an awkward silent follows.

"So do you have hobbies?", McGrath said, trying to break the ice. Rainbow started to talk, naming sports. Then it was Twilight's turn, "I have a hobby. You see, this one time, at band camp...", before she could finish, Rainbow cut her off saying THAT was not a hobby.
"So Sky... la? What are your hobbies.", Flash asked the friend who sat across from him. "Fighting monsters, demons, and full grown dragons.", Skywalker responded, still speaking in his girl voice. "Those are not hobbies either!", Flash shouted.

It was then decided it was time for a new question, "What type of girls do you like.", Twilight asked. Flash smiled at this, "Straight to the point? I do like that. I'll tell you what I'm into...", but Rainbow cut him off telling him it was McGrath's turn. "I'm into the cute type. Who love fun, but also has some hidden depth.", he explained, everyone at the table knew who he was talking about.

When it was Griffifth's turn he simple said, "I'm out of here.", he stood up but Flash hung around his waist. "No please! Don't go! I don't want to imagine what it'll be like if this thing gets anymore awkward.", he bagged, making Griffifth sit back down. "Challenge Accepted!", Skywalker thought as the next question was, who of the guys the girls would chose as their boyfriend.

"W-What!? What kind of lame ass question is that!", Rainbow shouted, quickly glances at Skywalker for a few seconds. "That's a little personal." Twilight muttered as she too glances at Skywalker for a few seconds. Flash was about to ask Skywalker who but he found himself staring deeply into a pair of amber eyes, slowly moving forward.

"H-h-hell no!", Flash shouted as he quickly stood up. "Something wrong Flash?", Skywalker asked innocently, still in his girly voices.
"Something very wrong! I don't know what happened! I think I just went to a place I never want to go back to.", he said totally freaking out.
"Is it my voice?", Skywalker asked still with his girly voice, leaning over the table. "Knock it off!", Flash said as he headed into the back garden. Apparently Flash wasn't looking were he was going as a loud splash was heard, indicating he had fallen into the pool.
"I guess this game is a epic fail.", Skwalker said with a smirk.
