//------------------------------// // What Loyalty Do You Even Have?(Ab)Normal Days: Day 1 // Story: Equestria Girls: Dangan Ronpa // by MarkTheWolfpony //------------------------------// *Track use: Despair syndrome* The thick vile mist began to emerge once again. I prepared myself for the possible outcomes that this one might have on me. I looked around as I desperately sprinted from the mist within. It wasn’t long until I notice the Doctor from a distance only the scenario is completely different. He was standing in a certain stance, holding what seems to be a some kind of metal thing on his left hand. What is in front of him was another thing altogether. *Track use: Buzzkill* It was a giant MonoKuma right in front of him, holding a staff with a king’s crown, made with pure precious metals. Right on top of him was the same mysterious figure from the previous dreams. I’m not gonna fail again. But as I look straight to the big Monokuma, the red eye started to show a huge aura around it. Suddenly a large beam came up, aiming at the Doctor. He quickly jumped away but saw me in his sight. I’m glad that he was safe but...I got caught right in the crossfire. I jumped off of my bed, having my face flatten on the ground. “Ugh…” I grabbed hold on my bed and helped myself up. “These nightmares are messing with me!” What are they trying to tell me! More important what does the Doctor have to do with them? I think that I have a talk with him about my dreams… Chapter 3: What Loyalty do you even have? As soon as the clock As soon as the clock hits 7AM, The Monitor turns on with MonoKuma on the screen. “Alright everybody! It's time to rise and shine as you have a big day. Now go out and live life before it ends.” It turns off after that. *Track use: Beautiful dead* I might as well face the music over there. I got myself all clean up and head right to the school cafeteria. Just like before, the atmosphere was a lot heavy like before only this time one of them is suffering the worst out of all of them. “Scootaloo?” Applebloom poked her on her very disoriented face. Sweetie Belle grabs hold of her and shakes her up a bit, “SCOOTALOO WAKE UP!” It didn’t diddly squat. “How long was she like this?” Snips ask, looking a bit confuse. Applebloom made a frown, “she has been like since yesterday and she won’t even budge!” She put her foot down. “Poor girl.” Bon Bon was unable to look at her during her state. Yesterday was the most hardest trail we have to do. Not only did she found out who killed Gilda, she also lost another friend on that same day. Two of the people she admired… “Gah…” How could I not feel the same way. In fact I could of gone to that state if it wasn't for the Doctor still being here. “Well this is just swell,” Diamond Tiara jumps off of her seat. “I guess the rest of you don’t ever stop and think that maybe killing might be a bad idea huh?” “Why are you blaming us when you are a part of this group!” Octavia made a comeback. Vinyl laughed, “Good one Octy!” “How dare you talk to Tiara like that!” Silver Spoon stepped in, “that is no way to treat an important member here!” . “Well she should know that she is with us and what she said can applied to her as well!” Octavia clutched her fist. It took a few seconds to calm herself down. “We have face threw another trail and I think it's best to move on for the sake of our health.” “A little too late don’t you think?” Flash kicks the chair right next to the table, sitting on the total opposite of it, “Right now we are just seeing the power of what this bear could do.” Octavia didn't took it lightly, “so are you saying that you are willing to just stand there and do nothing!” “That might be the only thing we can do,” Lyra steps in, crossing his arm. “What ever this bear can do, he seems to be able to tap in our minds and just exploit us to our weakest flaw.” “Lyra does have a point.” Bon Bon steps up, “It makes us wonder what he will do with the next motive.” Snails legs began to shivered out of control, “I really don’t want to think that.” Snips chatter on his teeth, having his legs shiver in the process, “that bear is getting to everyone and we can’t stop it!” “Hey you ruffian!” Octavia pointed fiercely at snips, “let's not panic!” At times like this, the Doctor should be here and handling the situation as usual. But it seems he is not here at the moment. I kind of wonder if yesterday has gotten to him… Suddenly the sounds of door slamming open has been heard. All of us turned around but most of us regretted that decision. *Track use: Junk Food for the dashing youth* “Well hello everybody!” Sunset, now in her demon form came in with a flashy entrance. “Ahhh!” Vinyl scream, “what the hell are you doing here!” She snicked, “aww and I thought you miss little old me?” Tiara laugh, “Like anyone would miss you!” “I sure as well be in that camp!” Flash spoked, having a hard tone in his voice. Sunset smirked, shrugging it off. “Is all this meant to hurt me?” She paused, letting out a laugh. “Please...I already learn how to control that!” Huh...Something seems off when she spoke that line. “SCOOTALOO!” Out of nowhere, Sweetie Belle shouted her name out loud. *Track use: Buzzkill* I turned, only to see Scootaloo charging in right towards Sunset. It wasn’t bad enough until I notice a large sharp kitchen knife in her possesion. “YOU WILL PAY!” With one thrust, she attempt to murder Sunset. However...The knife was knocked back twords a wall, with its gripped taken off. “What…” Her hands tremble, unable to process what went down. *Track use: Despair syndrome* Sunset could only smiled at her demise. What caught Scootaloo off guard is when she grabbed hold of her jacket as her feet no longer touches the ground. All of us didn’t knew what to do. We trembled, not moving a single inch. Scootaloo shivered out of control, having her eyes focus on Sunset demonic looking face. Her smile grew wider, more sinister the more you look at it. “Isn’t that pathetic!” She pulls her in, “you try to murder me without even thinking on how to do it in a clever way...How could you do that!? If you really wanted to murder me then do it when everybody not fucking watching you like a goddamn idiot!” She launches her back right to her friends, breaking her fall. “It seems it will be very dangerous to let you be with us,” Lyra had no remorse when she said that. She laughed, “don’t you worry. I don’t plan to stick by you at all as I got my powers back!” The look on her face was nothing but satisfaction, “I’ll be heading out as I want to feel free when I spread my wings!” She turned around and bolted out. *Track use: Beautiful dead* “We are so dead…” Trixie shivered as she looked down on herself. Since she is with us for now on, it's only going to make it harder for all of us to survive… “Let's not waste any time here,” Octavia headed to the entrance. Snips scratch his head, making a odd look at her. “Why is that?” She slap herself on the face, sliding the hand downwards, “because we survive another court trial. Probably like before, we have a new location for use to check out.” Vinyl runned up to her, having energy filled within her. “I never thought I see you as the adventurous type there.” Her smile made Octavia blush a bit. “Let's just get going!” She sprinted off. The others soon follow. Before I could catch up, I heard crying of a little girl. I took a look, noticing Scootaloo on the ground with her two best friend around her, comforting her. *Track use: Welcome to despair school* “Scootaloo…” Sweetie Belle patted her back. Applebloom closed her eyes, having her lips fallen down. “We are here for you Scoot…” Quick breathing was heard. Tears came down like a glass of spilled water, “I am sorry...I am...SORRY!” Scootaloo… “WHY DID THEY BOTH HAVE TO GO AWAY! WHY DOES SUNSET HAVE TO STILL WALK ON THIS PLANET!” I never thought I would see her this way. I took a deep breath before I stand in front of her. “Scootaloo…” She looked up at me. Seeing her face scrunch up like this just...Hurts “I’m...Very sorry for what has happened to Gilda and Snowflake.” I lowered myself down, going face to the face. “You’re probably mad at me for revealing that…” She didn’t spoke a single word. “Scootaloo...Do you remember what Snowflake had given you?” She took a look in her left pocket, holding the pendent on her hand. I firmly wrap both of my hands around hers, “remember what Snowflake has said Scootaloo.” I looked at her, giving the brightest I could make. “Even when he and Gilda are no longer here, they will always be remember with the memories you have made together..” I pulled herself off from the floor, “So how about it?” When she took another look at me, her face was less scrunchy than before. She was a bit happy. “I just miss them Derpy…” Soon enough, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle came in and gave her a big group hug. Scootaloo wrapped her arms around her, holding them tight. “I’m sorry for how I acted!” “Don’t feel bad Scoots!” Applebloom smiled like a bright shining apple. Sweetie Belle cringe a bit, “ummm you can let go now...I am starting to feel pain!” Look at those three. Its nice to have a group of friends together… Suddenly I sat down at the nearest chair, looking down at myself. “Berry…” How sad of me. I've helped Scootaloo trying to get over her loss but yet I can’t get over mine. Berry...Why did you have to leave me like that! You and I could of make it out… *Track use: Beautiful dead* I need to be strong...Strong for everyone that is still alive! After a few minutes of sobbing to myself, I as well as the TMC headed to the main city hall. Once we got there, no one was at the place. “Where is everyone?” Sweetie ask. Its weird. People should be around to hear from MonoKuma announcement on where the next location should be. *Track use: momomomokuma* “That is because I already did!” Just as I mention him, he appeared right in front of us. “Are you watching us?” Applebloom said dismissively. He let out a soft giggle, “I was always watching you wherever you go.” Scootaloo sticked out her in disgust. “That sounded so wrong…” He covered his mouth, looking at us with a glare. “Well since you're here, You’ll might want to hurry as the only transportation will leave at around 9am.” “What do you mean?” “No fair!” Applebloom pointed at him fiercely, “We only got five minutes!” MonoKuma didn’t took that lightly. “Now listen hear missy! I am giving you the respect you deserve by letting you figure that out.” He turned his back on us, “now I’ll excuse myself out if you don’t mind.” He left in a sour mood. *Track use: Beautiful dead* “Great!” Scootaloo threw her arms up in the air in frustration, “now what!? Wait...I think I know what he is talking about! “You three follow me!” I sprinted without any hesitation. The three does the same. As they caught up, I leaded them all to the train station where it was crowded at the moment. It's just as I thought. It wasn’t long until we made it just before the train whistle blowed. *Train noises* I hate letting out breaths like this. “That was close.” Sweetie dropped to her knees. Before Applebloom could speak, her tummy started to growl. “Does this train have food?” “Of course!” The Doctor have appeared right in front of us. “There are serving a whole buffet just a few sections down.” With that, two of the TMC headed off as quickly as possible as Scootaloo was getting there at her own pace. The Doctor wrapped his hand on mine, “you ok there?” Oh crap! I’m burning inside, just feeling his warmth. “I’m...I’m fine.” I panic a bit. “That was a close one,” he smiled as he chuckled a bit. “How about we go get us some food shall we?” Oh...His gentleman persona really gets my heart thumping. I hate blushing in front of him but I just couldn’t resist! Well it wasn’t long until we made it to the middle of the train. As we enter the section, the rest of the remaining citizens were at a table, eating whatever they could get. But the part that sticks out the most are the Monokuma waiters bringing the food to the table. “Uhhh…” I don’t know how to respond to this. Vinyl wave at me, “come on in Derpy! The food is amazing!” As she took a bite, greasy sauce flew out. Octavia is not very happy when grease started to slide down on her clothing. Vinyl awkwardly laugh, eating her burger like nothing happened Well if nothing suspicion then I might as well chow down. I sat right in between where the Doctor and Scootaloo resigns. I couldn’t believe on all the food we are receiving. It ranges from a salad bar all the way down to the dessert. I quickly grabbed as many muffins as I could. Before I could eat one of them, Scootaloo was just barely eating as she just tapped her fork into her food. I put down the muffins I have gotten, “hey Scoots!” I picked her the best one I could find. “This will sure to cheer you up,” I finish with a wide smile. She barely could hold a smile but I am at least glad she is trying. All of us continue to enjoy the meal. By the time we have gotten there, we were all stuffed and ready to explore. All aboard! Welcome 16 citizens to Canterlot! *Track Use: Time of eleganc* At least the train instructor was nice enough to tell us where we are. All of us got off the train, what we saw was nothing but jaw dropping. The building were all medieval like. Not to say that it was medieval back at MonoKuma town but this went all the way out. The building and structure around this place are more to like miniature castles. I think this could be the high class society of this weird place. All of us stand right in front of the entrance, letting our amazement holding us in place. “This is amazing!” Tiara shouted with joy, having sparkles around her eyes. Silver Spoon smiled like there was no tomorrow, “we are in a beautiful place for once.” Vinyl scratch her head. “I wonder if this place has a nightclub of some kind?” Octavia snickered, “like this place would have any of that.” “Alright Crusaders!” Applebloom run a few feet from Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, “let's begin exploring!” “Right!” The two said simultaneously. The three did a quick head start. “Oh no you don’t!” Tiara quickly followed them with Silver Spoon just behind here. “Hey wait for us!” Snips and Snails headed off. It wasn’t long till me and the Doctor are left. I feel there is some sort of force doing all this just so I could have some more time for him. He put out his hand in front of me, “shall we explore this place?” Before I could lay my hand out, a sound of wings flapping at a slow rate was heard. The both of us turn back, see Sunset only she wasn't herself. *Track use: Junk Food for the dashing youth* “Your lovely princess has arrived,” she landed with a elegant pose right in front of us. She looked at us, only displease of our looks towards her. “Well you two are just buzzkills.” “Like I be happy to see you here!” I stand my ground, having my left hand form into a fist. She giggled harder by the second, “oh like I care anything from you?” As she walked up to me, having her hand was on my chin as she pull my face towards her. “You are just as a freak like myself,” her face showed no remorse. I hold down all the anger I could luster. My fist shaked uncontrollably, carrying my desires to hit her. Not long, The Doctor knocked her hand off my chin. “I think you have your point there,” he stood right in front of me. I only got a glance of his face but I can tell it was far from happy. “I can understand your conquest for power but I will step in when things goes rough for the innocents.” He glared her down which for a split second there, I could see a bit of fear within her eyes. “I will have no hesitation when that line is cross. You understand that yes?” Sunset let out a soft growl, “you think I would do something that will cost me my plans of becoming princess of this place?” She laugh, walking right past us; “we shall see who is the one to come on top!” She spread her wings, flying off to the skies of canterlot. The Doctor let out a quick sigh, making a bright smile. “Well i sure handle her huh?” He laid out his hand in front of me once more. “Shall we get going?” I wanted to let him hold my hand. However other things started to cloud my mind. I didn’t knew how to respond so the only thing I could do is just walk. I walked away without turning back. *Track use: Dangan Ronpa Animation OST 18* What happened there was something that got me thinking...Can I even defend myself from her...I notice right now that The Doctor has been protecting me and while it was nice of him to do, at the same time I’m letting him do all of it without a chance to show what I am worth. However he seems to have faith in the court trials but...I don’t feel proud of it. I just can’t handle losing people because of the knowledge we know before hand. But the people that I lost and expose too, only makes me wonder if it's even worth doing this anymore. I want the murders to stop but with the way things are going, it's pretty much pointless… “AHG! I gotta do something!” I scratch my head, biting my teeth down as I grind them without realizing my tongue was caught in the middle. “OW! OW! OW!” I massage my tongue, pressing down the pain I suffer. “Me and my clumsy self.” I wonder if the doc every taken me seriously? Well...I better not waste time as I got a new place to explore. *Track Use: Time of eleganc* I set my first steps to this place. I was honestly amazing by the building structure. It really is a pretty sight to look at. It wasn’t long till I found Tiara and Silver Spoon right by what seem to be a food court in one of the buildings. Guess I check up on them, “Hey you two!” I shouted to catch their attention but they pretty much ignored me. “Ummm what are you two doing?” Tiara gave a smug look at me, “Well since your eyesight can’t see straight, we are drinking some tea for once.” Figue’s I get something like that. “Care to join us?” Silver Spoon set down a cup of tea right next to me. “No thanks. I’m not a huge fan of tea.” I’m more of a soda person myself. “Besides I have to check out the other areas so thanks for the offer!” With that, I headed back to exploring. The next place that I discovered was the store. Just like the last places from before. As I enter, I notice Lyra, Bon Bon, and Flash were inside already checking the place out. “Ooooh!” Bon Bon faceplant on the window glass, where the candy is shown. Flash gave her an awkward look, “She really is into those candies huh?” Lyra cringed, unable to face her. “I hate it when she is in this state.” Flash shrugged off, “well I might as well check most of these guitar displays.” There are so many designs of them. “Eh...None of them hold a candle to mine.” Flash smirk, making a proud pose. Well...While he enjoys his bragging, I headed to the this store's back door room. However unlike the others, this one I can’t open at all. I tried my hardest but it seems to be locked tight. “Well then…” I might as well not waste my time. I headed out of the streets once more. I continue walking down the path till I hit another local. From what it looks like, it a castle size compare to the other buildings. As I head inside, the first thing I notice was the party decoration around the place. There were streamers, balloons, and cakes of many different sizes. One of them that has 12 stacks with a large size to a small size on the top. I pulled off some white whip cream, tasting it...It was a huge mistake. I spit out the remaining cream, wiping it off my tongue. “UGH! Coconut!” After that horrible taste test, I notice the windows. I took a peek, quickly noticing few of the citizens there. The TMC checking around the garden while Snips and snails are enjoying the food that was displayed there. “This is good!” Snips ate a bunch of square shape sandwiches. Snails grabs both cups of grape juice. “Hope she likes this.” He headed towards, only it didn’t go as he planned. “SNAIL WATCH OUT!” He turned his head left, only to have cake right on his face. The cups dropped on the ground, spilling all the juices. “Oh my!” Sweetie Belle Runs towards Snails, wiping the cake off his eyes. “You ok there?” He let out a long sigh, “well...at least it isn’t coconut.” Well it looks like we got something in common then. I went back to the path and continues following it to the end. It didn’t took me long till I saw a art museum just in my sight. I enter its doorstep, being treated by many art pieces with two statues. But they’re ponified art work. I should expect this at this point but I’m still feeling uneasy about it. “This looks very well crafted here.” It seems I’m not alone. “Don’t go drooling there Octy,” Vinyl patted her back with a smile to boot. Octavia annoyingly shrugged, “Well I couldn’t help myself to these beautiful art work despite the fact of the animal they use.” Vinyl tip her shades forward, “those ponies need to get out more.” The artwork was very strange to me. These pieces just look very different...The statues are the most weird part of this exhibit. They’re two pony. One is a unicorn and the other is a Pegasus. The Unicorn has a elegant stance, like it’s trying to please someone. The other was laid down, having a soft smile with a calm atmosphere. Wait a minute...I think I saw her before! Ya that picture I found at the cottage! That is her! Why is there a statue of this pony here? Suddenly out of nowhere, an alarm was heard around the museum. *Alarm Noise* “What is going on!” I stand there, feeling very stressful as it continues to make those unpleasant sounds. I took a look, seeing Vinyl in a panic state as she hold what seem to be a sword case that was painted in gold. “Vinyl put that back!” Octavia covered her ears, trying to drown out the awful noise. Vinyl throws the sword casket and while it wasn’t in place exactly as it should, it manage to stop the alarm. Octavia let out a breath she was holding in. “The awful sound is no more.” *Track use: Momomomonokuma!* “HEY!” A voice that we are grew custom too was heard. MonoKuma appeared right in front of us. “Do you really need to set that off!?” His grinned grew wider, raising his arms in the air. “Seriously even I couldn’t stand hearing the damn thing.” “Well why did you set it up then?” I tapped my foot, crossing my arms as I give him wide eyed look. “Well...I need to protect some of the important exhibit stuff here.” He let out an awkward sigh, “I really should've just put a MonoKuma guard here instead!” He really can be clueless at times. “Hey!” Vinyl cached all of our attention, “this doesn’t have a sword.” MonoKumo pointed at her, having his face glowing red. “Don’t touch it you idiot!” Octavia looked around, feeling lost. “Ummm shouldn’t the alarms turn on again? *Alarm Noise* Out of sheer coincidence, the alarms is back on with the same harmful sound as before. Vinyl quickly put the casket back, turning them off once more. MonoKuma glared Octavia down where she stand. “Thanks for the smartass remark!” Octavia stepped a few feet away. With a single snap of his fingers, the alarms are turned off. “That should do it,” he turns his back on us. “Continues you’re daily lives my citizens,” he disappear in a instant. *Track Use: Time of eleganc* Well...I think I should just go. As I stepped back outside, I notice a tall tower just up ahead. With no hesitation, I headed to the tower in a few minutes flat. Unfortunately there was one obstacle that kept me from progress to the tower and that was the stairs. Holy cow did it took a huge chunk of my energy to get up here. As I step on the last set of stairs, I fallen flat to the concrete ground. I took an incredible amount of breaths to keep myself stable. “Why don’t towers like these have elevators!” After a breathing session, I got up in my own two hind feet. “I hope this place has a water fountain.” As I got in the room, the first I notice was Trixie laying down on the bed. “Trixie?” Trixie got up, facing towards me. “What do you want from Trixie?” I guess she was tired like I am. “I just want to check around the room if that is OK?” She laid down, “Do whatever what you want. Trixie got some napping to do,” she close her eyes and drifted away to slumber land. Now that I have seen the room, it looks like one of those luxury sweets you win at a contest from those magazines. The floor tiles are in a light shade color pattern with a rug on top of it. Many shelves are filled with fashionable clothes from what I have check. As I turn around, I notice a pony manikin that is displaying a very simplistic but yet interesting design. To top it all off, the view from here is amazing. I can see everything from Canterlot to MonoKuma town. I took a look to the other windows, “well...couldn’t see any exit.” I was really hoping for that too. But it didn’t became fruitless as I saw a castle just near by here. “That place looks interesting…” In no time, I quickly head off. At least the stairs are easy to walk down then up at least. A few blocks later, I made it to the castle. The closer look really brings out a majestic feeling. It was huge enough that it fit about two blocks wide. The color scheme of purple and white make it pop with its structure such as the front stairs and many didn’t shape buildings alongside the main one. I walked towards it, having my eyes focus on it as I go. But thanks to my eyesight, I stopped before I bumped into a fence. “Well…” Looks like it's off limits. I kinda wonder if this mean we have to pass another trial or something? “Ok...why did I think that?” I took a deep breath. As I looked down, I notice something just over the fence. I quickly recognized that it was a cassette tape! *Track use: Buzzkill* It's like the last one I found! With my curiosity peeking in, I fit one of my hands in a gaping hole. But things took a turn for the worst. A roar was heard from a distance. I can feel the ground shaking as it got close. I quickly got a grasp of the cassette tape. I pulled the tape in quickly before the Unicorn Mono Guard could squish my arm. *Track use: Despair syndrome* I laid on the ground, holding the tape in my arms. The Unicorn turned back to where it came from. My breath is out of control. I could’ve lost an arm from that! “Ouch!” Suddenly I felt pain across my left arm. I took a look, noticing the long scar I have. Blood was coming out little by little. “Oh dang it!” I rubbed the blood a bit, hoping it would dry a little faster. “Ok I need some bandages.” As I got up, I was not expecting someone to be here. I stumbled back, seeing the Doctor, only his face isn’t showing any showing any positive attitude. “Uhh...Hello Doctor!” My smile slowly rise, trying to hold back the awkwardness. The Doctor grabbed my left arm, witnessing the scar as his eyes widen. “Derpy do you know anything about safety!” I stood there, not speaking a single word. “WELL!?” The Doctor is becoming more furious. But it wasn’t long till he spotted the tape I have in my possession. “Wait a minute…” I quickly put the tape behind my back. The Doctor raised his hand towards me, “give me the tape.” I nodded my head sideways. He didn’t took it too well. “I said give me the tape!” Then something unexpected happen. He pulled me by the arm. The pressure started to take its toll as it was around my scare. Why...Why is he doing this!? The Doctor anger soon withered away. His eyes lid lower as his mouth turn into a frown. He let go of my arm, stepping a few feet away from me. “I’m...Sorry…” I didn’t bother to look at him. I ran off with the tape in my arms. Who is he? Who is that person? That can’t be the Doctor...I didn’t put much thought to it. I just ran until I made it to the train station. It wasn’t long till the others some of them came back. I guess a few of them are staying for a little while long. It was a very small group. I don’t the see the Doctor anywhere… The train whistle blew, “ALL ABOARD!” The train began its engines and took us all back to MonoKuma town. As soon as the train stopped, I headed to my home. I quickly locked the doors, hoping no one has saw what I posses in my hands. I let out a deep breath, putting the tape on top of the T.V before I jumped on the bed and laid flat on my face. “Ugh…” I really don’t want to watch the tape. But I can’t even stop thinking what they contain, especially after seeing the last one. “I should probably gets some fresh air before I watch this.” *Track use: Beautiful days* I headed off towards cloudsdale. I figure that maybe a view of the sky could help me...hopefully. As I stand near the entrance towards the place, I caught Snips just laying down next to the tree. “Snips?” I walked towards him. He face me, having a bright smile. “Oh hey Derpy!” He got up, having the feeling of excitement rush through him. “What brings you here?” I kicked a bit of dirt, “oh just getting some fresh air.” Snips face away, “well I hope you’re alright there.” He let out a deep breath, “would you like to hang out with me again?” Well maybe he can help me clear my mind off. The two of us headed to the escalators. We waited for while as it takes us to our destination. “Hey Derpy…” Snips called my name softly. “What do you think of me?” “Hmmm?” Well that was a first. He stood there, waiting for my words to come out. “Well...I think you’re a decent person there, as well as a good cutter.” “Do...You really mean it?” I’m starting to notice the uneasy attitude he has. “You feeling alright there?” *Track use: Despair syndrome* Snips giggles a bit, “no…” his smile was very unsettling. “I’m just here thinking that you see me as someone trying to hard.” A long sigh is let out, “It's how my dad sees me…” Oh dear. “Well you could say that he could be wrong on that front.” Snips bit his lips, “but...he can right on a lot of things...lots and lots of things!” The teeth left some marks, “I’m so mad right now but yet I am still smiling here…” Snips… “You know….maybe I’m the scissor master for a reason.” His laugh is getting more energetic. “Cutting thing is the only enjoyment I could get…” I...Don’t know how to respond to this. After a few seconds, we arrived at cloudsdale. Snips walked ahead. I however did not. He didn’t even bother to look back at all. For a moment there, I was a little intimidated. The strangest part about this was that it made me felt that are bond is getting stronger. I just don’t know how to explain it. *Track use: Beautiful days* I headed back home. I sat for just a moment till I pick myself up. It’s already the afternoon by now. I exit my house and decided that I would go back to Canterlot. I headed to the food court. I thought I check if there is anything editable. However my sights soon turn to Silver Spoon who is just sitting there, drinking tea. “Hello Silver Spoon!” I thought I give her a proper greeting. She looked at me with one eye. Silver put her tea cup on the table, “well hello Derpy. Why don’t you sit right here so we can talk.” I generally took her offer. I sat right at the opposite side of her, passing a cup of tea to me. “Uh...I was hoping to get something to eat here.” Silver growled, “don’t bother. The food they offer here is not really all that is crack up to be.” I really hope she is telling me the truth there. Suddenly Silver let out a huge sigh. “Derpy could I tell you something personal?” My eyes widen, “Uh…” Silver Spoon looked away. “I just thought that maybe you be the easiest person for me to talk too.” I guess i should be flattered. “But...What about Diamond Tiara? Should she be the closest to you?” She gave me a single nod from side to side. “I...I just don’t bother her with this,” Her body shivered a bit. “It kinda involves her…” “Well...What did you want to tell me?” *Track use: Welcome to despair school* Silver Spoon looked straight at me, having her eyes focus on me at all times. “I think Tiara is not acting like the girl I known to be friends with…” “What do you mean by that?” I scratch my head. She took a sip before continuing, “I started to sense some changes to her. I know that others still see her as a brat but in my view point, she seems to change.” Silver laid her hand on her left eye, “I don’t know what to do.” “Well...You’re not the only one who is kinda having the same issue right now,” I let out a quick sigh. “I just think that they’re just starting to adapt to this environment only it wasn’t going so well.” Silver Spoon looked down on herself, “I think I failed her as a friend…” Wow...I never seen Silver Spoon this upset. “Hey now let's not put the blame on you,” I put my arm on her shoulder as I have to lean over. “You did the best you could do.” A long drawn out sight was made, “I feel like I wasn't loyal enough…” I did all I could to keep my smile up just for her, “you are more loyal to her then anyone out there. Don’t you forget that ok.” It wasn’t long till Silver Spoon was able to make a small smile, “can I say one thing…” “Hmm?” Suddenly her eyes glared at me, piercing me down. “Don’t tell this to anyone! You understand that!?” “Got it…” She really felt like two different people there. You know, I never thought Silver Spoon will trust me enough for this. I feel that our connection is now stronger than before. I headed back home. Once I sat on the bed, the T.V turn on. “Attention Citizens, it’s 10:00 PM so every store of any kind was now closed. Stay at your homes and have a good night.” *Track use: Despair syndrome* Well...Time to check out the tape I have. I really didn’t want to watch it but my curiosity is starting to get to me. My body began to move on its own. It's hard to explain, but it really felt that way. I put the tape in and press play. It showed a pixelated screen before showing vision of a lab of some kind. ******************** *Track Use: Grodus room* It showed a mirror of some kind within a lab setting. A girl in purple skin, wearing a lab coat and glasses with hair having put around one place around the head. “It should be recording,” The girl places the camera in a see-able position. “Hello everyone, this is Twilight Sparkle and what I have here will be worth of attention of the media!” She walked up to the mirror, “now this may look like any ordinary mirror but it’s more then that.” With a single touch, the mirror showed waves like she touch water. “As it’s shown, it is more than just mirror. In fact if my calculations are correct, this is the portal that will lead to another world.” The women grabbed her camera, facing closer to the mirror. “I will demonstrate by walking thru the mirror,” She faced the camera to her. “Hopefully I’ll be back to show you all the results and if not...I rather not think of the worst.” She stepped into the mirror. Unfortunately the camera went back to the pixelated screen for the rest of the recording. ********************* *Track use: Despair syndrome* I am in utter shocked. If I can give it one thing, it at least not like the last one I found. But the girl I saw on this tape...Looked very familiar. However something was off and that was the clothes she was wearing. It was on the tip of my tongue but I can’t seem to get the name. “That mirror…” It acted the same way as the statue from school. But the question I ask is what is in the other side of it?
