//------------------------------// // Flash // Story: Zombie Chronicles: New School // by ZombieBrony22 //------------------------------// A day after the assault, school was off for investigation. I decided to go to Sweet Apple and see if they needed any help. "We're not doin' much, just talking about Flash and Rarity." Applejack said. "Are they here?" I asked. "Eeyup." Big Mac said from the barn door. I asked for where they were, and I saw them. On the porch. Making out. "Jason! Did ya see a ghost?" AJ called out as she jogged my way. She froze when she saw the sight. "Yeah. Who wants to tell Twilight?" I asked. "Ah... ah don't know. She was here a few days ago, but just on a visit." AJ said. "What, and he didn't SAY anything?" I asked. "N-no. In fact, he wasn't around to see 'er." AJ said. "Well, what do we tell her?" I asked. "The truth, I guess." AJ said. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, are you insane?! We can't just go on and say 'Your boyfriend's cheating on you with one of your best friends, sorry'!" I said. "Well, what else can we do?!" AJ asked. "We... we just ask her what she and Flash have. If it's nothing, we tell her." I said. "What do we do about... them?" AJ asked, pointing at Flash and Rarity. "What CAN we do?" I asked her. "The first thing we can do is give them some, um... alone time." She said. I quickly understood her meaning and we both walked back to the barn. When we came in, we were greeted by the others, who were now curious as AJ shut the barn door behind us. "What is it?" Fluttershy whispered. "You said Twilight was here?" I asked them. "Yeah, why?" Rainbow asked. "Did Flash talk to her, at all?" I asked. "A little. Why?" Rainbow asked. "Because Flash and Rarity are up at the house, right now. And it seems like he talked to Twilight." I said. The others were confused, then shocked beyond all belief. "How is that possible? She was only here for half an hour!" Sunset said. "So, either Flash talked to her and she accepted it, or he... he didn't tell her at all." Oz said. "No. H-- he's not like that. There's no way he and Rarity are..." Sunset started. "See for yourself." I said, opening the door and pointing to the house with the lights turned on in some room upstairs. As I expected, no-one moved an inch near that house. AJ was angry most of all, maybe because-- "That was my parent's room..." AJ said with her face turning red with anger. One thing I learned about Applejack in my years of knowing her and her family: no-one screws around with her deceased parents. And I mean, absolutely no-one In the end, we let them do their thing and we all went home. After the meeting, I saw that my phone had a text from a new number. Hey it's me, Diamond. Jason, right? I was startled at first, how did she get my number? Then I remembered, rich parents. Right. Yeah. I waited a few minutes for a response. I was starting to think that one wouldn't come in when my phone finally gave out that annoying vibration it always gave out. Next Free-Time, in the library. Be there. K. I texted back. The school bell finally rang, knowing that Free-Time had started. I remembered the meeting with Diamond. I figured it'd be a trap, or some trick, but might as well do it. I went into the library, slowly took a seat, and waited. Eventually, Diamond showed up around the corner. "Um... hello." She said. "Hey." I said. She took a seat and we were silent for a few minutes. "So..... what did you want me in here for?" I asked. "Because, I think you can help me." Diamond said. "Help you how?" I asked. ... "My mother would kill me if she saw me talking to you." She finally said. "Boys?" I asked. "No, the commonfolk, or as she calls them, commoners." She said. Commoners? Sounds arrogant enough. "So, why are you talking to me?" I asked. "Because, like I said, I think you can help me get away from her." Diamond said. "How can I do that?" I asked. "Because people listen to you and you can defend yourself. I heard about that." Diamond said. "Okay, what happens if they say no?" I asked. "Ask someone else." Diamond simply ordered. I can't beleive I'm following orders from her, but better me than someone else who probably doesn't have the full story. "Alright. Fair enough." I said. "Any ideas?" Diamond asked me. "I could ask my uncle, Henry. He owns an orphanage near Crystal Prep. I'm sure that doesn't sound as good, but trust me, that place is probably as good as that mansion of yours." I said. "Sounds like we have a deal." Diamond said holding her hand out. I rolled my eyes, but took it in a handshake. I got up and left the shelves of books. Only to see Apple Bloom glaring dead at me. "Why the hell are you talking to her?" She asked, with her air leaving her nose like a bull. Crap.
