Depression

Revelations

A few days after Sky's speech, the group is still unsettled.

"I never noticed people looking at me the way they do! It's horrifying!" Rarity panics.

"No-one talks to you like that, NO-ONE." Rainbow muttered.

"Everyone, just calm down. He doesn't mean it, he's just... used to things being like that." Sunset said in a vain attempt to calm the group.

"Sunset, he practically called Pinkie a whore!" Rainbow screamed.

"It doesn't mean he meant it! He probably is just scarred by Crystal Prep. You heard the things Twilight said about it!" Sunset said.

"There's no excuse for that! Doesn't matter where he's from!" Rainbow said.

"Leave him be, for Christ's sake! He was just judgmental, that's all." Fluttershy whispered.

"Oh, so that's how it is? The only reason you're with him is because he didn't say crap about you. He said you were the nice one, and you love it..." Rainbow said, getting close to Fluttershy's face in a dominating manner.

Fluttershy immediately trembled and wrapped her hair over her eye.

"Rainbow, that's enough. you're scaring the girl." Sunset said.

"Oh, I'm scaring her? Well, excuse me, if I seem--"

"Out of line, threatening, et cetera, et cetera." Sky said from behind Rainbow, still in front of Fluttershy.

Rainbow didn't say a word. She just went up, formed a fist, and cracked Sky across the face, knocking him to the ground.

"Come on, what do you got, huh?!" Rainbow screamed.

"I'd show you, but I don't like to hit gi-- oh, son of a bitch!" Sky suddenly screeched.

"What? Did I bruise you? Get up!" Rainbow said as she grabbed him as twisted him around.

"AHH!" Rainbow immediately dropped him in extreme horror.

"What happened?!" Fluttershy whispered, heading over to the two.

"Do you have any idea how much this eye cost me?! You owe me, hermana!" Sky said as he put his glass eye in his holder and grabbed an eyepatch and put it on.

"What... what the hell is that?" Rainbow asked, suddenly calmed down.

"It's my eye. Got a problem with it?" Sky asked as he adjusted the piece of cloth covering his missing eye.

"What... um..."

"What happened to it? I don't think I need to explain myself to you." Sky said.

Pinkie seemed more fascinated than shocked, smiling aimlessly.

"Look, um... I'm sor--"

"Money talks, Rainbow. That eye cost me at least $200, you know that?" Sky snarled.

Rainbow slightly gulped, fearing the worst and she'd need to pulverize him.

"Oh, well. I wanted a different color, anyway. Like a snake eye, you know?" Sky asked.

Fluttershy simply nodded while Rainbow was still either in awe or fear. Sky cleared his throat.

"Look, I didn't mean to offend you or scare you over what I said, but I didn't want to lie either." Sky said.

"That still doesn't give you the right to call Pinkie a who--"

"I never said that. You just thought I meant that. I never said people look at Rarity in places she didn't want to be looked at... You just assumed that, and paranoia did the rest." Sky said.

Now that Rarity heard that, she started to recall her day where hardly anyone even glanced at her.

"See? It's all just fear and anger. I really should apologize, though, I was hoping that this wouldn't be my first impression. But this is how it is, I guess." Sky was starting to grab his pack and leave for home when Pinkie leaped up.

"Wait!" Pinkie called.

Sky stopped and turned around.

"What?" He asked.

Applejack stepped forward.

"We ain't doin' much later, and Pinkie mentioned that you need a job. We could always use an extra pair hand around the farm every now and then." AJ said.

"And we're always hiring at Sugar Cube Corner!" Pinkie said, bouncing in joy.

Sky showed signs of interest.

"Alright, it's a deal. I'll be at the farm in a few days, then." Sky said as he grabbed his pack again.


Sky was just outside the school when Fluttershy caught up with him.

"Hey." Sky said.

"Hey." Fluttershy said with her backpack slung over her back.

"That was something." Sky said.

"Yes, it was. Look, Rainbow's sorry about the eye, she really--"

All talk was stopped by a loud screech coming from inside the building.

"Who was that?!" Sky asked as he paced back inside.

"...Rarity!" Fluttershy gasped.

Sky then bolted inside, fearing the worst. Indeed, two ragged students were pinning Rarity into the wall.

"Lucky you, girl... You'll have to take turns!" The closest student said as he grabbed a box from his pack.

A box of condoms.

"¡Oye!" Sky called out.

The two students turned to Sky.

"Oh, wanna join?" The student asked as he held the box near him.

Sky quickly smacked it out of his hand as grabbed his arm.

"¿Qué coño estás haciendo?!" Sky asked as he pulled the one student off of Rarity.

"The hell is he sayin'?!" The first student asked.

"Uh... Yeah, you don't wanna know."

Sky the took the student's head and slammed it into his knee, rendering him unconscious.

"Oh, damn..." The second student said as he grabbed Rarity and pulled out a butterfly knife.

"Come any closer and I cut her open!" He said.

"Let her go. I'm only telling you once." Sky said.

"Neither of you are going anywhere!"

Out of nowhere, the knife was out of his hand, and the student was pinned to the ground by...

Fluttershy.

"Rarity, go get Celestia." She said.

Rarity nodded and was off to find Celestia, mascara and blood smeared over her face.

"The hell? Fluttershy?!" The student asked as he struggled.

"Shut up, Hoops." Fluttershy said as she twisted his arm near his shoulder.

"Argh! What, want me to say 'uncle'?" Hoops asked.

Sky rested his foot on his head.

"Shut it, or I twist." Sky said.

Celestia came running with Rairty and saw the entire scene.

"Wait, these aren't Canterlot students..." Celestia said.

Sky took the hint and knocked Hoops out.

"Then who are they?" He asked.

"Cloudsdale Academy's students, Fluttershy was from there." Celestia said.

Sky nodded, remembering his time there.

"Shame. CDA used to be a nice place." Sky said as he spat on Hoops.

"It still is, boy." The other student said with a click of a gun hammer was heard.

Sky turned around to see a Glock aimed between his eyes. Sky quickly pushed it away and nailed his stomach, causing him to fall on his knees. The Glock was dropped for Sky to grab and unload.

"Glock 17, nice weapon, indecent weight..." Sky analyzed as the student got back on his feet, only for Rarity to kick him unconscious.

"Nice one." Sky complemented.

"What now?" Fluttershy asked.

"I will contact their parents first, then CDA for a proper punishment. If they refuse, I'll take matters into my own hands," Celestia said as she adjusted her collar, grabbed the two students, and started bringing them into the nurse's office.
