The Trip, Part 1
Friday Morning...
It's early in the morning in Canterlot, and Straight Edge is wide awake. His watch reads 3:00 a.m. as he packs the last of his clothes into his bag. Afterwards, he wraps his hands and grabs his phone, headphones, and Passport. when he finishes, he looks outside to see a car pull into the driveway. Upon seeing this, he smiles knowing exactly who it is.
"I haven't seen uncle colt since Dad's Surgery, wonder if he remembers me?" Straight thinks to himself.
Straight hugs both his parents and leaves his house, locking the door behind him. As he turns around, he finds a tall man with brown hair and a leather jacket, he has a pair of shades propped atop his head. Straight smiles at seeing him and walks over to him.
"Uncle Colt?" he asks. The man turns around at hearing the name and smiles upon seeing Straight.
"David?" he asks, "Mother mercy you've grown. You used to be about five-eight, now your six foot something." Straight laughs and hugs the man before placing his luggage into the trunk.
"So where are we headed now?" Colt asks.
"To Soul's house, I can give you directions." Colt shrugs at haring this and follows Straight's directions.
The two arrive at the home of the Writer family and find a light on in he living room. Seeing this, Colt raises an eyebrow.
"Why in the hell would the entire family be up at this time of night?" he asks.
"No idea, but I'm about to find out." Straight gets out of the car and heads to the door.
He walks up to the door and knocks, waiting for an answer. When no one answers, he knocks again and is met by someone in a Darth Vader costume.
"Who Dares Disturb Me!?" the person asks.
"GAH!!!" Straight exclaims before executing a hip toss on the person, and locking in Lucky 13 on their legs.
"AH, STRAIGHT IT'S ME!" The person exclaims, "IT'S SOUL, BREAK THE HOLD!" Soul takes off the mask to reveal his face and Straight breaks the hold.
"Why are you dressed like Darth Vader when you should be getting ready for the land of the rising sun?" Straight asks.
"Because, I'm trying to Explain to Treble that Space Balls is a Star Wars rip off and not the other way around."
"Wait, Treble?"
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, I GIVE!!!" A voice exclaims. Straight looks inside to see the boy in question tied to a chair and staring at a projector screen, his eyes forced to stay open with tape.
"Soul, this is technically kidnapping." Straight points out.
"How is this... oh." Soul says.
After untying Treble and getting him to sleep, Soul grabs his Luggage and joins in the car.
"So, who's the last person we needed to pick up?" Colt asks.
"Warhawk, but he said he would meet us at the airport." Soul explains.
"Okay then." right as they are about to pull out, Treble throws himself onto the windshield of the car.
"WHAT THE!?!" Colt exclaims.
"Bring Me Back some sushi!" Treble demands before running back inside.
"What the hell is wrong with the people in this town?" Colt asks.
"I';ve lived here for two years now, and I'm still trying to figure that out." Soul says.
One car ride later...
As The group arrives at the airport, they find Warhawk waiting at the Checkin area.
"What took you so long?" he asks upon seeing them arrive.
"Soul was trying to torture Treble." Soul explains.
"Oh... well alright then."
"Come on boys, we need to board our flight to Tokyo international." Colt explains while waling towards the boarding area.
After going through the luggage check, the group boards the plane. The seats are in rows of three with Colt sitting opposite of the boys who are sitting together. As Straight places his bag in the carry on slot above the seat, he is bumped into a boy about his age wearing a very familiar private school uniform.
"Watch where your going idiot." the boy says with a hint of venom in his tone.
"Why don't you go screw your self ass hole." straight replies.
Hearing this, the boy grabs Straight by the neck of his shirt.
"What did you say to me?" he demands.
"Oh, I was just saying that this man is bothering me Flight Marshall." Straight replies with a smirk.
"What?" the boy looks up to see a jacket wearing man with a Flight Marshal badge on his belt.
"Is there a problem here?" the Flight Marshall asks.
"No problem officer." The boy says before releasing straight.
"Well if there's no problem, then I suggest you take your seat." The Marshall says before doing the same.
Straight takes his seat as told and puts on his head phones, preparing for the seven hour flight to their destination. As the plane takes off, he dozes off to sleep with this song playing.
Two hours into the flight...
Straight is awoken from his dreams as he is shaken awake by Soul. Turning to his friend, he takes off his headphones.
"What I it Soul?" Straight asks.
"Well, I've been thinking..." Soul replies.
"About what?"
"Well, I don't know why I would be thinking this, but are you interested in anyone of our friends? The girls I mean."
"What caused this?"
"Well, for some weird coincidence, Everyone of the guys in our little clique are in a relationship with one of the girls; I'm with sunset, Treble has Vinyl, Rivet has Rainbow, Clyde has Rarity, Warhawk has Sonata, Night has Fluttershy, Swift has Pinkie, and finally there's me and Sunset." Soul explains, "It's either got something to do with the Illuminati psychopaths, or we were all destined to end up like this. Which brings up this, is there any girl that interests you?" Straight scratches his chin before shrugging and saying the one thing that comes to mind.
"Your cousin."
"... wait what?" Soul asks in shock, "I was sure you would've been in some kind of relationship with Jess."
"Dude, Jess is like a sister to me. We were close friends growing up in Chicago, then I got adopted and she moved. We managed to stay in touch online, but the first week of school is the first face to face meeting we've had in like... eight years."
"Okay, but why do you like Applejack? I mean, you two couldn't be anymore different."
"Isn't there some old saying about how opposites attract?"
"That's... actually not a bad answer."
"Would you two mind, I'm trying to slay a dragon." Warhawk tells them before going back to his laptop, "Now you guys flank it to the left and we'll go right to catch it in the crossfire." he says into his headset.
"Who is he talking to?" Soul asks.
"Probably a group of South Koreans. They are the World League of Legends Champions, why wouldn't they be playing Skyrim online?" Straight replies.
"Eh, point taken."
As they finish speaking, the pilot comes over the intercom.
"Attention passengers, we are currently Five hours from our destination. We will arrive on schedule to Tokyo international Airport at Ten O'clock in the morning." he informs.
Hearing this, Straight once again puts on his headphones and goes to sleep, wit a new goal in mind thanks to Soul.
Five Hours Later...
"Talk about one hell of a flight." Warhawk says while popping his back in the food court.
"I slept like a rock, How about you Soul?" Straight asks his friend.
"I got some sleep and also called Sunset to see how things are going back home with the friendship games." he explains.
"Really, how's it going."
"Apparently, they're just now getting underway. I also heard them say something about Twilight being there."
"Who?"
"Oh right, you haven't met Twilight. She's this princes from another-" Soul is cut off as a tray of food is sat on the table.
"EAT UP BOYS!" Colt tells them, "It's on me."
The boys say nothing and dig in, Warhawk the most because he missed the food from the time he was in Japan. When they finish, they retrieve their luggage and head to the pick up area. Upon arriving, they see a Native man in a suit holding up a sign that reads: DAVID BROOKS AND COMPANY. Seeing this, the group approaches him.
"Are you Mr. David Brooks?" he asks Straight.
"Yes, are you from New Japan Pro Wrestling?" Straight replies.
"Indeed I am; allow me to welcome you and your friends to Tokyo." He says while giving Straight a hand shake.
"The feeling's mutual, Do you know where We're going to be staying?" Colt asks.
"Well, Mr. Brooks will be staying with the other boys and girls attending the seminar at the Dojo. You three will be staying in a studio apartment, all expenses Paid." Hearing this, the group, minus straight, nearly drop there luggage.
"Now, I do believe we have somewhere to be." the man says while gesturing to a Toyota Pathfinder. Straight picks up his bags while the others head to the car, as he does this, the same guy from the flight bumps into him.
"Watch where you're going!" he exclaims.
"Stupid is as stupid does David, keep your mind on your business." Straight Thinks to himself.
Seeing the boy walk into a car similar to his own causes Straight to raise an eyebrow but quickly shrug it off as his friends are dropped off at the hotel and he is taken to the Dojo. Upon arriving, he is met by a older Japanese man in a light gray suit, his facial expression giving off a welcoming feeling.
"Are you David?" he asks.
"Uh, yes. Who are you?" Straight asks.
"Oh, where are my manners. My name is Tatsumi Fujinami, I'm going to be the man in charge of your group for the entiretime you are here."
Straight can only tare at the man as he follows him into the building, He is being placed under the care of possibly the greatest Japanese wrestler o all time. Yet, he can't help but feel something is wrong back home.
Meanwhile...
"WHERE'S THE PORTAL!?!" Exclaims sunset who wont stop touching the Statue in front of Canterlot High.
"Sunset, The meet and greet is about to begin!" Exclaims Clyde.
"Oh Clyde, I need some help with my uniform." informs Rarity.
"GOTTA GO!" Clyde exclaims before taking off in a heap of dust.
