Weakness

The next day after I woke up I found aria in the living room watching tv, I said good morning to her but she just huffed and turned back to her tv as I shook my head then went into the kitchen.

“So what would you like for breakfast?” I shout from the kitchen to aria but she didn’t answer so I poked my head out “aria you can at least answer me.” I said.

“Fine I’ll just take some pancakes.” Aria said and I nodded then went back into the kitchen getting all the ingredients for pancakes but I noticed we were all out of syrup so I poked my head back out

“hey aria we seem to be all out of syrup, can you walk down to the store and buy some?” I said

“Ugh why do I have to do it?” She said in an annoyed tone

“because none of your sisters are awake yet and you aren’t doing anything, don’t worry I’ll give you enough money for the syrup so you don’t have to pay alright?” I said and she just huffed but eventually nodded as I got some money and handed it to her and with that she left for the store.

After aria left sonata came in the living room rubbing her eyes.

“good morning sonata.” I said as she turned to look at me

“good morning.” She said walking and sitting down at the table “what’s for breakfast?” She asked

“I decided to make pancakes but we were all out of syrup so I sent aria to pick up some more, she shouldn’t take too long.” I said as adagio entered the room as well.

“she better not take to long I need my food.” Adagio said sitting at the table as well.

“I’m sure she’s already got the syrup in hand right now and will walk through that door any minute.” I said confidently, just when I finished talking aria walked through the door “see there she is right n...” I trailed off as I saw aria was injured and had a bloody nose so I ran over and helped her to the couch.

“aria what happened? Who did this?” I said panicking as I looked at aria then sonata and adagio came over and gasped at the state aria was in “adagio go and get the med kit fast!” I said

Then adagio rushed off and came back shortly after with the med kit and put it right beside me, then I opened the med kit and took out some bandages and wrapped them around aria’s head and arms since that seemed to be where she was most injured as aria just groaned as she tried to speak but I stopped her.

“don’t try to speak now just get some rest and focus on healing for now, alright?” I said and she nodded the laid down to take a quick Nap as I got up and turned to the others.

“aria is hurt and I intend to find out who did it, you two stay here and keep an eye on her I’m going out.” I said walking over to the door and opened it but before I left I took one look back at aria then exited the house.

Once I was outside I went on a walk to the store while looking around for anyone that looked like they were evil enough to hurt aria but I didn’t see anyone, once I made it to the store I saw the same group of girls that was at the diner yesterday so I walked over to them.

“excuse me?” I said

“Hey there partner you look like somthin’s eating you, what’s wrong?” Cowgirl asked as the others turned towards me

“well somebody attacked aria and I want to find out who, do you know?” I asked as they all shook their heads then fire hair walked up

“I saw aria walk out of this store before I entered and as I watched her some guys came out and surrounded her i think there were about three of them, then they entered the alleyway over there.” She said then pointed at the alleyway just a few steps from the store

“thank you.” I said as I rushed out of the store.

Once I made it to the alleyway I saw three thugs counting money and once I looked closer I noticed it was the same amount of money I gave aria then I got angry and went over to them.

“hey where did you get that?!” I shouted

“Huh what’s it matter to you punk.” One thug said then I came closer

“because I’m sure you just stole it from my friend.” I said then the thug looked at me up and down then smiled

“oh I get it you must be that sluts father, yeah we stole it from her and when she wouldn’t give it up her we decided to teach her what happens when we’re denied.” He said as the other thugs laughed

“Give it back to me, now!” I said then the thugs stop laughing as all of them get up and came very close to me.

“or what?” He said then I punched him in the face knocking him back as the other thugs came at me, I punched one back but the other punched my side making me grunt as I kneed him in the stomach then threw him on the ground as the thug I first punched came and grabbed me then threw me into a wall as he ran and kneed me in the stomach as I was still up against the wall then I fell holding my stomach as I coughed up some blood Then the two other thugs came over and held each arm and lifted me up.

“this is what happens when you pick a fight with us.” He said as he cracked his knuckles and started punching me in the chest and stomach but suddenly a shout came from the entrance of the alley

“hey leave him alone!” It said as I turned my head and saw it was the group of girls from earlier then the two thugs holding me dropped me on the ground as they joined their leader and looked at the group.

“or what.” He said

“Or this!” Rainbow hair shouted as they all revealed their extra ears and wings with tails then they ran at the thugs and fought them and the thugs didn’t stand a chance as they were all knocked out, once they were done the fire hair one came over to me and helped me up as she pulled out some money.

“i think this is yours.” She said as I took the money from her

“thanks for the help.” I said as they all nodded then I tried to walk out but it hurt too much to move right.

Then the cowgirl came over and let me lean on her as she helped me out of the alleyway

“don’t worry I got ya just point me in the right direction and we’ll be on our way.” She said as I gave her directions to my house.

Once I made it back home I opened the door and we entered as two of the girls came out and gasped as they saw me injured

“Eric are you alright?” Adagio asked as she came over and sat next to me

“I’m fine.” I said but sonata shook her head

“you’re clearly not fine I’m gonna go and get the med kit.” She said and left.

When adagio looked up she finally saw the group of girls standing close by and scowled “what are you doing here?” She asked then fire hair stepped forward

“we helped Eric fight off some thugs and get here, you can at least be a little grateful.” She said but adagio just continued glaring at them until I spoke up

“adagio calm down they helped me if it wasn’t for them I would probably be dead.” I said and adagio nodded

“thank you for helping Eric but you can go now, we’ll take care of the rest.” She said.

“Adagio, please they helped me the least I can do is invite them for dinner.” I said as adagio just clicked her tongue and looked away, then sonata finally came back with the med kit as I took my shirt off and noticed both adagio’s and sonata’s blush as they looked at my well toned body then sonata began wrapping the bandages around my torso as I noticed aria was missing

“hey where is aria?” I asked

“She’s in the room pouting, I think you should go talk to her.” Adagio said and I nodded but before I got up and left I turned to the group of girls

“I’m sorry I never caught your names.” I said as they all introduced themselves.

“I’m sunset shimmer.” She said plainly.

“I’m rarity.” She said in an elegant voice.

“I’m rainbow dash.” She said enthusiastically.

“I’m applejack.” She said in her country accent.

“I’m pinkie pie!” She said cheerfully

“I’m fluttershy.” These last one said quietly but I still heard her, then I nodded and pointed at the table

“would all of you mind to join us for dinner.” I asked but they shook their heads

“sorry we have to get to our homes see you later.” Sunset said as they all said their goodbyes and left then I headed over to the girls room and opened the door to find aria sitting on her bed pouting.

“Aria is everything okay?” I said entering the room and closed the door behind me as aria looked at me with shock once she saw my bandages

“what happened to you?” She asked pointing at my bandages.

“I just taught those thugs who hurt you a lesson that’s all.” I said smiling as I moved slowly making sure I don’t hurt myself too bad to her bed and sat next to her “now what’s wrong?” I said but she didn’t answer me.

“Aria look at me and tell me what’s eating you.” I said then aria looked at me with a few tears in her eyes

“I’m supposed to be the tough one of this group but I got beat by a few thugs, god I’m so weak to get beat by a few thugs!” She said but I just pat her on the shoulder

“Aria it’s okay to show a little weakness and ask for help from time to time you can’t just stay tough and stubborn all the time you know.” I say but she just looked away from me and huffed.

“Yeah well it’s because of my weakness that you got hurt.” She said as I shook my head

“I see what’s really going on, you blame yourself for my injuries and wish you were stronger so something like this doesn’t happen again.” I said as she turned back to me with tears flowing out of her eyes

“is it that obvious?” She said but not in a sarcastic tone.

“Aria don’t blame yourself for what happened to me, I went out there and fought those thugs of my own choosing you have nothing to do with it.” I said and just before she was going to speak I put my hand up.

“and stop saying you weren’t strong enough in my eyes your already strong enough to both protect your sisters and yourself but remember when push comes to shove it’s always okay to ask for help, alright?” I said as aria nodded then she hugged me unexpectedly but I hugged back.

“You see it’s fine to show a little weakness from time to time now you feel better, don’t you?“ I said as aria nodded then mumbled something I couldn’t hear

“what was that?” I asked but she shook her head

“nothing.” She said

Then she let go and I stood up and opened the door to find adagio and sonata right outside then they smiled and waved at me as I shook my head and left to go back to my room and slept for the night.
