A love story between Doctor and Derpy in a alternative Equestria Girls universe
Have you ever experienced a strong emotion?... Like having a stampede of butterflies everytime you see that person. When you have a bad that and when you think nothing is gonna make you feel better you see him smiling and that's all it takes for your worst day ever be the best day ever?. To spent everyday with that person and when you are with that person nothing else in the world matters?....
Well i have and that special human is no one but the most amazing, sweet and kind being to ever been created.....
Set in a Equestria Girls where Flash was never presented. He is a student but never appears ( note for further chapters ) also the tag sex is because is gonna be mentioned and maybe implied but never described. Well as far i can think.
"Are you sure you did the project like Mrs. Cherilee said Vinyl? " The cream skin colored girl puts her hand on her hip, looking seriously at the pale with spiky hair which is electric blue adorned with light blue streaks.
She nods and resumes looking at her phone instantly .
She keeps keeps talking but I barely pay attention. My head was somewhere else. Yesterday at home I was reading a story that Lyra was blabbering about and I have been thinking about it since then. The story was about a english girl who wanted woman to have rights and by a a coincidence she finishes working for a mysterious man who no one knows a lot about. As she works, she starts to learn more about him. She also starts to develop feelings for him as well..... And I have a suspicion he might like her back ... For people to be that lucky , I'm so envious .....
" Yo... Earth to planet Derpy..."
I wake up from my day dream when i feel someone hugging me from behind almost making me fall to the floor. And that's why ladies and gentleman, i don't wear heels to school........
"Did you read the story i told you about? Beautiful isn't it? " A feminine voice says almost on my ear, her green, minty, medium-length hair falling on my shoulder as she rested her head there.
A nervous smile crept on my lips " Y-Yeah ...."
" Awww .. ". She hugs me her eyes watery. " Is nice to know that one of my bestest friends is liking my favorite story... The next part will be getting you hooked up on manga and anime.... Oh Derpy we will have so much to talk about ". Her grip tightens and i feel my life draining from my body .
Quickly a tanned hand pushes us away and I was able to catch my breath again.
"You're so mean Bon-Bon... I was just talking to Derpy-chan ". She says and pouts .
Bon-Bon crosses her arms. "More like killing her.. If you're gonna kill someone Lyra at least make it pain-less and instantly " She glares at Lyra then goes to me petting my head. " Are you ok Derpy ?". Her voice was soft and serene. I smile at her.
Oh right where are my mannners........
My name is Ditzy Doo Hooves ( Though I don't like for people to say 'Hooves ' ... Is personal ). I'm 17 years old and I study at Canterlot High. The girl with the spiky punk hair is Vinyl, we know each other since Elementary School, like me she is 17. She can be a bit of a " Woman of few words " But when she is with us or being a Dj in a party she can be a super nova, hyper and cheerful girl. The serious girl with charcoal long colored hair is Octavia. A intelligent and amazing chellist who her life quote is 'Life is not about learning who to play the strings... But rather about the harmony it emites ', She is usually fighting with Vinyl since Vy can be a bit... forgetful. Then for last we have Bon-Bon.. Her soft cobalt blue and light fuchsia and curled hair give her a sweet look but... She can be really scary and she can be easily annoyed by everyone but in the depth of her heart she is really sweet and like a mother to us... Lyra who i already talked about has a thing for mythological, anime, manga and novels obssession. She is so nice as long as she isn't on fan-girl mode. Bon-Bon and her do complement each other a lot. I hope they end up together since Lyra has a crush on her. Is a long story on how i learned that.
" So do you guys have the things for our the HQ ? ". Vinyl smiled while taking out a silver key from her white and black messenger bag.
"Yeah. Lyra and i spent all night doing the dessert since it was complicated " The cobalt haired girl said raising a hand on her mouth while she letted out a yawn.
Vinyl and me look at each other grinning. Lyra instantly blushes madly. "Y-You aren't gonna give me a break do you ? " She says lowering her eyebrows.
Bon-Bon looks at us confused but after a minute we bursted out laughing.
"N-N ... ever ... g-et s.... old " We all say in unison.
We start walking toward the third building talking and laughing like some crazy woman, making everyone else look at us with a mixture of fright and weirded out expressions.
We arrive at the third building of the school. Quite a few people know about its existence since is far away from the other two buildings of the school and if they do.... They think the building is haunted cause is abandoned. Or mostly because of the music Octavia plays here at the free hours. Uncultured little shits who don't appreciate classical music. Vinyl opens the door using the silver key from before and we all go in. We puts the lights up to see our hide-out.
The place was decorated and furnished thanks to the summer jobs the girls took, a white refrigerator that I brought with my allowance, medium sized kitchen and even a TV with a Dj table ( Vinyl must have placed it during summer and probably spent some nights here ). I was glad that nobody went here or we would have to share our little place of heaven in this heck hole we call school.
"My babies ! ". Lyra says running toward the wine colored couch and took one of the mangas that were placed in alphabetical order in the nightstand next to it.
Octavia lowers her chello case and sits down. "Finally !". She stretching out her shoulders and arms. "My back was killing me !". Then her eyes widen. "Oh my ... I forgot to tell you all something ! Everyone sit down ... I have a juicy rumor i have to tell you all about that will will blow your minds away ". She fixes her black below the knee skirt.
Everyone sat down near Octavia except me. I sigh.... Why people like to her some stupid stuff about someone else 's life ?.
"Is about Dr.Whooves ....... ". She says in a sing song voice smirking.
Well if it is about him then... I guess i can hear a bit. Just a little i don't know if it is urgent. I sit next to Octavia.
"Now that everyone is here i can start ". She takes a deep breath almost dramatically. " I heard from a friend of my mother's that Doc lives in Blue street and that......."
I groan under my breath. That was it?.
"And that he might have a crush for someone who is dear to him and plans to one day marry that girl if she returns her feelings and also... He likes girls that are younger that him although i can't say which age exactly but ill try to investigate. ". Then she turns, her pink-purple eyes fixed on my redden cheeks. " He owns a two, light cream and rustic floor house with a big garden and owns a nice black car." She smirks. " If you need more info. on him just let me know ok ?. "
I was gonna argue at her comment but the faint sound of the school bell startled all of us.
"Shit ! " Bon-Bon glares but picks her backpack. "I'll have to go..... See ya here at lunch ". She goes running like a bull on a stampede and Vinyl opens the door and she goes .
"Wow .... Scary ". The minty hair girl said getting up and picking up her purse.
" Well thats your girl there Ly ". I say smiling getting up as well .
We all went out and went straight to our classes .
"So we are free aren't we ? ". I say sitting on a chair in the hidden part of the library.
Vinyl nods while looking at her phone. "Yeah... Crazy how fast things went to normal after the whole 'Friendship Games ' mindf$#k - ". She puts away her phone. "I'm glad everything is back to normal..... No more magic thingy, No more Sunset B@$cher to mess with us. Even so I still don't trust her.."
I nod. " Indeed... What she did to us was horrible. Making everyone think you were a mute lesbian... Nothing against them but telling everyone you were one and ruining your chances with Note was just awful ". I lay my head against the cool wooden table. "Still we can't hurt her since we are better than that just......"
"Tolerate her. " She finishes my sentence. " Also we have better things to do like." Then whispers on my ear. "Getting you with Doc down and dir... "
I cover her mouth with my hand and she licks it. "Ewww gross Vy.. ". I clean myself with my jeans. " Don't talk like that about him ! he is a gentleman not a stupid buck-boy " .
"Is said F#$k-boy.... Why are you so hesitant to say bad words ? Everyone used them from time to time...". Then fixes her look on me. "He is a guy... Guys have needs even if he denies it and..". A smirk spreads around her lips. "Every guy has the fantasy of being with a young teenage girl and you milady.. Are one. And like the girl code states ' Help your girl get ..". I glare at her." 'the man'. So i have to make that happen ". She stares at my long golden hair that was braided on a high ponytail. "Let's fix that shall we ? ". Stands up from her chair and starts to fix my hair.
She was nice with my hair being careful of not hurting me. After ten minutes she stops.
"Done now you're cuter than one of those characters that appear in games. " She puts her hand on her hips. "Part of my job here is done..... Now remember to stay calm and be as Derp as you can!". She shouts making everyone shush at her. " Oh f@#k off ! ".
I smile nervously until the school's intercom sounds."Ditzy Doo report to Dr.Whooves office immediately. "
Vinyl raises her fist. "Let's go Derpy!". She says and pushes me toward the library's exit door.
After entering the office we are greeted by a wooden door that said 'Time Turner Whooves's school's psycologyst '. I gulp.
"Ready Derpy?! ". Vinyl says all fired up with excitement and grumption. " Remember Derpy... ". She opens the door and pushes me foward. "All is fair in love and war!". Then closes the door running away gaining some scolds from the secretary.
"Morning Miss Doo " .
I look up and meet with a pair of kind dark blue eyes.
"How are you doing today ? ". He says smiling. His smile so bright that made my heart feel like melting.
You know just in about every seriesin which the main character is a female, she is really shy, but even so, she is brave enough to talk to the guy she likes with no effort and not messing up whatsoever? Me on that department....
I completely absolutely fail. If you think Fluttershy is a shy girl wait until you see me like I am right now. I wonder if me and Flutters are related... That would explain a lot.
"Miss Doo are you okay? Is there something wrong?" He was obviously concerned and fixed his eyes on mine.
Oh sh##, Oh sh@@, oh sh**!.... What should i do?
'Say hello of course'
' Should i give it a bit of style like.... Say Yo and sit down with style and put my legs on his desk like a troublemaker? But won't he think I changed suddenly and ask me questions?... Oh!.. What about if i act super classy like Octavia and say: Goodmorning Mr.Whooves... How has been this lovely day treating you? And end it with a beautiful smile?. No, I can barely talk without stumbling on my own words, imagine me trying to smile without looking like a cheap copy of the Joker? .. There must be a way to make a good and outstanding greeting.
"Y-You dont have to be here If you don't want to... I can always move it to another day... I'll tell Cady to make you a excuse for the class you missed and you can take the rest of the hour free." He looked stressed and I could swear I saw some drops of sweat on his forehead.
Dang it Derpy! You are making him feel uncomfortable thanks to your usual awkwardness. What would my friends do in this kind of situation?. Oh I remember what BonBon said to me once when we were talking about guys (Kind of Octavia's fault for bringing the subject up).
You have to calm down.... If you act all nervous and run away from him he might misspell it for you hating him. So just breath and say ' I got this... PLAY HARD OR GO HOME!!!!!!'
Yeah I got this... There's no need to be scared.. I'm Ditzy Doo.. Daughter of a genius scientist, have the bestest scores on my subjects and have some sort of magic that makes me the best in cooking and science, there's nothing i can not do.. Play hard or go home, Play hard or go home....
PLAY HARD OR GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Pardon me Miss Doo but.... Why are you shouting cheers on my office? Are you practicing for a upcoming game?" He said crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow.
My face lit up in a blush that if someone were to touch it.. They would be burned. I sat down and looked at the ground to check if I could find a hole and jump on it.
"I-I'm so sorry." I said putting my hands on my legs feeling embarrassed and slightly angry at myself.
"Is okay Der... I mean Ditzy, No!... Miss Doo." He looked around the room like I was gonna hit him or kill him by what he has just spoken.
Wait... Did he just called me my nickname and my real name?...
OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh.....
He... He just said.... I-I can't even...
"I didn't mean to call you that... I-I'm so sorry .. But is that your name and your nickname are kinda catchy and I..." He Scratches the back of his head"Funny how things can be right?... R-Right?... Haha." He was laughing nervously.
"I-I don't mind..." I smile trying to not look scary. "You are really close to me so is better to have nicknames.. It shows how close we are." I try my best to not choke on my words.
After what seemed like forever, his lips curve into a tender, sweet smile, his expression relaxing."You are smiling now... That's a good start. You scared me a bit there by standing still like some sort of female Greek statue.." I blush at his comment. He thinks I look like a Greek female statue? My smile widens "Also I see you have pigtails today..." He chuckles " They look good on you. You should use them more often.." He looks down at his watch while I do my victory dance and bless Vinyl's descendants. And when he looks up and I instantly seize my dance and sit down. " I'm afraid we don't have more time today and I have another student to attend to" I mentally pout. No fair!.. We barely talked. "Next time we'll talk more... Ditzy." He pronounces my name in his thick British accent and I couldn't help but nod.
"Alright Doctor..." I stand up from my seat. " See you soon." And open the door before he could see my face burning and sprint toward the main hall. And if I'm not mistaken.. I'll have detention afterwards.
"Just that? He only called you by your name? Derpy you sure are dissappointing." Vinyl sighs and lies down on the cold bone colored cement. "Next time I should go with you to make sure you both don't waste your time and make love blossom."
Octavia groans "Vinyl, you should consider that we are only high schoolers.... Things like that take time not only six months, also remember that Mr.Whooves is older that Derpy by four to five years." Then she crosses her arms. "First she has to make him see her as a woman in order to court him."
"Since when does everyone say the word 'Courting' nowadays?" The pale girl raises an eyebrow at the tanned girl's comment.
"Well i do because is the proper word for it. The word seduction sounds to dirty for this..."
"Oh don't tell me.... Virgin Octavia Melody everyone! Really?.." Vy says with the most sarcastic voice you could imagine.
After that they both start arguing. No surprise... Note my sarcasm? ...
"Don't sweat it Derpy. He calling you Ditzy is a huge step. Love can't be forced or be too rushed if you want it to last.." BonBon pats my head. "So take your time and enjoy every little victory, Alright?" She smiles and hugs me.
I reply her hug. That's BonBon for all of you. Maybe I should call her Mom. No, that would be weird. Even so... I'm glad i have the best friends in all the world.
"Hey everyone..." Vynil smirks and her Dj table glows. "Who wants to hear some sick awesome tunes to power up our lunch hour?."
Everyone except Octavia shouts a 'yes' at her.
"Don't worry Octy... I'll put some classy music with soft dubstep too." She smiles gaining a growl from her.
"Sure go ahead." Octavia goes to the couch. "I'll just gonna put my headphones and take a nap... Wake me up when is time to go to class." She puts on her white adorned with pink lines headphones and turns around facing the white and caramel colored cushions.
"Oh well there goes Miss.Manners ..." Vy laughs. " Now let's put a song to cheer up Mrs.Whooves shall we?" She winks at me and I blush. C'mon I bet everyone would have done the same. " So 'Stomp me up' by Gya Hayrell!." She shouts and all of us cheer and shout.
The song started and I couldn't help but be moving side to side while I was sitting.
"Derpy! Derpy! Derpy! " BonBon and Lyra were cheering energetic.
I smirk. " Who wants for Mrs.Whooves to show you how real woman dance?" I stand up taking off my jean jacket showing my white colored with a bubble design in the center spaguetti strap shirt.
Both of them cheer and raise their hands up.
"Okay then.." I fix my hair into a ponytail. "Get ready to enjoy the show.." I wink and start dancing moving my hips side to side singing the lyrics.
Vinyl joins both of the girls whistling.
After a minute I felt so confident and happy that i even took of my shoes and stood up on Vinyl's Dj table. She started to cheer louder.
"Yeaaah, Now that's how you do it!" She starts to mix up the song with another one making the sounds be harder and louder.
I started to jump and dance in a bit... Inappropriate way but hey... I'm with my friends alone so is okay to dance like this. Is not like someone will open the door this instant.
"What in the name of the world is going on here?"
I froze. The one who opened the door was no one more that Doctor Whooves.
I just had to say that didn't I? ....
We were all in his office. Even a messed up hair Octavia who was not even sure if she was awake or in a dream.
"So, what exactly you were doing in the abandon building and with nothing else than loud music?" He looks serious in almost a business like voice.
We all look down (while Octavia was mumbling and spaced out).
"Is that... That room is our hangout. W-We like it very much and spent a lot of our money and time in repairs. Is our secrets place and is very special to us so please...." Lyra looks at him and bows. " Please turn a blind eye on this!" She says in a desperated voice.
"Sorry girls but there are rules for a reason, I can't..."
Vinyl and Lyra look at each other and nod.Then they push me and I'm placed in front of them.
"I didn't want to do this but we have no choice" Vy says in a whisper.
"We have no other choice..." The minty green hair girl looks up in determination. "Is up to you now... You can do it Derpy!".
They push me again almost making me fall. Doctor looks at me expecting an answer from us. I swallow hard like i was in a mine field and that any false step could make me blow up in pieces.
I can do it... Everyone is putting their faith on me so...
I look at him without showing any signs of fear. "Doctor.Whooves .... We are sorry for making you pass through a hard situation and skip lunch.." I look down. " Is that.... In this school we rarely have free-hours or if we have, we spent it on school works, homeworks, projects and.... We need a place to breath, have a good time and fool around. So please..." I lay my eyes on him determinated. "GIVE US A PUNISHMENT FOR MAKING A RUCKUS BUT LET US CONSERVE OUR HANGOUT!" I shout with an authority and confidence I didn't knew I had.
He was surprised. Or scared? .. I don't know.
"Well when you put it that way..." He gets up from his seat. "Fine. But another thing like this and I'll have to lock the room and call your parents."
I smile and hug him. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou Doctor.Whooves.. I.. I mean, My friends and I are in debt with you now.." When I realize what I did I instantly pull away.
All of them were cheering and celebrating our victory. After a while we were about to leave.
"You will have to help organizing the sport's equipment after school. I expect for every.single.one.of.you" He said looking at us one per one. " Alright?" his voice was back on scary business man.
We all nod except from Octavia that was surprisingly still in zombie mode but Lyra pushed the back of her hair so it looked like a nod. At last we leave.
"Wow Derps, you sure know how to pick your man." the light blue hair adorned with electric blue streaks girl says playfully moving my arm.
"I-I guess...." I blush while playing with my jacket.
" Oh i just noticed...." Lyra points at my chest. "You are using a pink bra right?"
I nod. "Yeah?".Then i look at my shirt. I panic.
" Oh my gawd!!!!.. Now you notice? You sure are always spaced out" Vinyl laughs hysterical her eyes watery.
After that my leg accidentally kicked Vinyl's stomach with force. What can I say? .. My leg has a mind of her own.
I can't believe it.
They left...
What the actual... ?
My phone started to ring so i checked it. Two unread messages.
" Sorry we can't make it. Lyra has to take care of her niece, Octavia has a fancy party so her mom is dragging her to the hair salon, I can't seem to contact BonBon. And I.... " I read the text out loud since everyone already left.
I hope she has a real excuse or.....
I look at the second message.
" Have a date with my bed.... I swear I'll make it up to you. I'll buy you anything you want. Laters. And a winking face..."
I growl and kick one of the lockers leaving it in a bad shape. This school seriously needs to get stronger lockers. I sigh.... Why do they leave me hanging now?... Is the first time they do that but still...
I don't like being alone.
"DItzy?"
I shake my head and see that Doctor was in front of me.
"Why are you here alone? Where are the other girls?" He looks around me.
"Something came up and they won't be able to be here.. So I'll do it by myself... I bet they'll make up for it on Monday." I put my schoolbag on a locker and close it.
"But it's a lot of work... You'll probably finish almost by night time or maybe even later. You can do it on Monday no sweat." He was smiling nervously and scratching the back of his head.
I ignore him and go straight toward the courtyard. "I can't leave it like that. I gave my word and I'm gonna keep it... Have a good afternoon." And ran as fast as I could so i would at least have a head start.
"Done!." I said putting the pile of safety cones on the top of the gym's shelf, passing my arm across my forehead to clean my sweat.
I look at my phone. " Eight p.m... Shit, that is gonna..." I realize. "He is in the middle of a important investigation so he won't notice I'm gone..." I look at my phone nostalgic. "When was the last time he sent me a text or bother to call? Must have been a lot because I don't really remember." I pat my now red cheeks. "Is not time for you to space out. You have to go home and make dinner and finish that Home economics homework...." I pick my jacket and go to the school's entrance.
When I get there I see Doctor with his arms crossed looking at his surroundings. Then he notices me. "Finally! If you wouldn't showed up in five minutes I would have dragged you out of there myself." He walks toward me and gives me a bottle of soda. "Here... You must be thirsty. I should have helped you out, not so gentleman of me isn't it?"
I open the bottle. "Y-You don't have to worry... I had to do it myself or it wouldn't have been a punishment." I drink it in one shot. "Is grape soda right?"
He nods. "Yeah... I remember you once talking about how you are a fan of fruit flavored sweets and soda so I went to the vending machine on the lobby and brought it.. But if you don't like it I can always get another one..."
I blush again. Feeling butterflies on my stomach... Or is it a case of bad digestion? Who knows..? "D-Don't worry I like grapes." I put on my jacket. "Well thanks for the drink. I have to head home now before it gets dark... I'm glad that nature is still going on summer time so even if is nighttime the sun is just setting now. So bye.." Just when I was going to step forward, I feel someone grabbing my arm.
"Even if the sun is setting now is still late.. I can't let a woman be out in the night and less if she is a student. I'll drive you home."
"I live on a private urbanization... And is pretty far away from here." I said trying to deny his offer. Yes I am too proud most of the time.
"Well then. Call your parents to pick you up and i'll wait here until they come here and tell them why are you doing on school so late." He said in a care-free voice resting his back against the wall.
I glare at him.
"Fine." I say and follow him toward his car.
Well played Doc... Well played...
It was silent.
And awkward...
And more silent....
I had my eyes glued to the window. My urges to stare at him while he drove were high.
Too high.
I groan inside my head. Why didn't I called Big Brother? . He could have picked me in no time. But Doc may have asked him too many questions and since we are not really blood related he might have have mistaken my relationship with Big Bro by a real relationship and I don't want him to think that.
Do you realize you have zero chances of being with him ri......
Shut up brain.
"You must be bored.. I'll turn the radio on..." Doctor says and pushes a button causing the radio to turn on.
The song that immediately plays was, you know.... 'Mainstream'...
He blushes and changes of station. The same happens.. he changes again and the same repeated... He was almost as red as Santa Claus's clothes. After he gives up and turns the radio off I burst out laugh releasing a breath I didn't even remember I was holding.
"W-Wow that was... unexpected..." He scratches the back of his chocolate colored hair laughing nervously. Not that i give it thought.. He does that a lot when he blushes.
"That's famous music for you. They are either talking about reproduction or about butts.." I say trying to breath again.
He sighs. "What a day..."
"Indeed.." My breath got stable again. Thank goodness.
After that we began talking normally. My shoulders and arms feeling relaxed and the air of tension disappearing. I was happy.. I lost the track of time and just enjoyed the fun time I was having with Doctor, Looking at the multiple faces he made while we were chatting. I smiled. Of course getting slightly angry at him sometimes but I was glad the girls bailed on me on the last minute. But don't worry... I'll get my revenge... Vinyl, get your wallet ready... You will be broke once I get my hands on you.
In what it seemed like a minute we arrive at were I live. I get out of the car.
"Are you sure you don't want me to drop you off inside?" He said through the door I just got off from.
"No. The guard is a bit.. Scary toward strangers so is better if i go inside by the sidewalk." I said, stretching my arms.
His sapphire eyes look concerned at my golden glittering eyes.
"I'll be okay... You drove me back home so you already fulfilled your duty as a fine gentleman." I bow smiling. "Thanks for the ride and have a good weekend.." I run but before I glance at him before he drove away slowly.
I quickly get inside the urbanization and head home almost skipping my way home smiling like a mad woman and doing some fan-girl screams.
Chapter three: New teacher and feelings equals.. ?
"I can't do this anymore!" Vy complained as she sat on the bench, almost falling holding various shopping bags.
I look at her, both of my hands on my hips. "This is your punishment for leaving me all the work for myself. I came home late and had to cook for almost an whole hour. I was hungry enough that I almost ate the food raw." I glare and cross my arms.
"You could have ordered a pizza or something. What kind of person will cook at o' clock at night?" She laughs. I keep looking at her with a serious look. "Oh... Umm sorry?" She scratches the back of her head nervously.
I sigh while sitting next to her, resting my head on her shoulder.
"Your dad hasn't contacted you, right?" She says in a soft voice. I nod. "I bet he must be bust as always... you know how scientists can be when they are in the middle of an investigation. I'm sure he'll contact you as soon as he's free and come back home scaring the hell out of you, receiving your famous kick in the face." She caresses my hair and hugs me. "Everything will work out, I promise. After all, you have the girls, Big Brother, and me... we are a family, a messed up one, but a family." She lets go of me and stands up. "Let's get these... 'bags' to my car and finish this shopping so we can go to my place for 'Food and Chill'," she says determined, picking up the bags from the floor.
"More like 'Spaghetti/Pizza and Sleeping' " I get up raising an eyebrow at the pale girl.
She nods smiling like a kid. "And you know it babe." She winks.
I laugh and walk beside her joking and glaring.
Best friends everyone, They either make you want to kill them or love them.
"I thought that we were going to your house..." I say looking at Vinyl.
"We are."
"Then what the heck are we doing at the beach?"
We arrived at the beach after I brought some things for when Winter comes. Let me tell you.. I'm considering the possibility of Vinyl being an airhead more than myself.
"Since we have been on school since August.. three months has passed since summer, right?" She says as she changes her below the knee blue converse and puts on a pair of cream colored sandals.
"Yeah?" I stare confused.
"We weren't able to go during Summer vacation so.. Why not go now before it gets frozen?" She smiles and I was able to see her better.
She had a complete white swimsuit.She sticks her tongue out. "Neat right?" She makes a pose.
My jaw drops. Did she had planned this all along?.
"Did you?.." I point at her with my index finger.
"If you want you can change too.. I think I brought one for you too" She opens the passenger's door and searches. "No.. No.. OH!" She looks at me. " Here!.. Cute right?" She smiles like a kid on Christmas day.
Let's me just say that the swimsuit looked... Nice but.. There's noo way in hell ill use it.
"No thank you. I'm fine the way I am." I shake my hand at her.
"No fair! Just when I brought it for you thinking on how cool and awesome you would look in it." She had her eyes with crocodile tears.
"I never asked you too and can we get this over with?" I walk toward the sea.
"You're so mean Derpy!!!" She shouts following me.
The beach was crowded. Is not that I hate crowds, I'm just scared they might notice my "derped" eye and for everyone to look a me funny. I put my bangs to hide my right eye and search for a place I can sit.
"Hey, you can sit here!"
I look over to the voice and see a woman with long, two-toned raspberry hair. If my left eye is correct (which he is the only one that works without making me dizzy) then she must be nineteen or twenty. She waves me as an invitation to go to her. I look everywhere but every place was occupied so I had no other choice. I walked toward her.
"C'mon sit down.." She pats the empty place next to her.
I sit down slowly. When I was already sitting in the sand she speaks.
"Wow, the beach sure is packed out today, right?" She smiles showing her, red lipstick.
I nod. So that's how grown up girls act. "Yeah, My friend brought me here since we weren't able to come during Summer vacation." I reply shyly.
"I can see that she didn't warn you." She laughs. "I know the feel, Oh! I almost forgot.. " She raises her hand. "My name is Roseluck, but you can call me Rose." Her accent was Spanish.
"I'm Ditzy Doo Hooves." I shake her hand. "Nice to meet you Rose." I smile softly.
"Your surname sounds a bit like one of my friend's name. Your name is really cute."
"Thanks. Yours is nice. Rose.. It has style."
She flips her hair. "I know right? I'm named after the most romantic object ever created." She looks at her nails.
We both laugh. I guess going to the beach was a good thing after all.
The rest of the weekend passed in a blink of an eye and it was already Monday. I came to school in Vinyl's car since I stayed at her house after going to the beach, treating her sunburns. So today she was wearing a black hoodie and blue long jeans. In another words.. Her usual Monday outfit.
"I want to go home.." She said groaning with her hands on her pockets.
"I always tell you to use sunblock but you never listen and this situation keeps repeating itself." I sigh trying not to lose my patience.
"Okay.. Can I go home now?" She says almost falling in top of me but I keep my balance.
"No. And Octavia texted me that we have a homeroom teacher now. So we can't just go and come later." I says looking at my phone. "Room 66. Let's go."
She groans loudly "I DON'T WANNNA!!!!!!" She buries her head on my neck.
I roll my eyes internally and then pat her head. "There,there Vy.. What about getting some junk food at lunchtime?"
She looks at me. Her eyes almost like a puppy's. "Can it be from Mac Stonald? Oh please,Oh please, OHH PWEASE?" She was literally jumping in joy.
I smile. Things I do for my grades and hers. "Sure let me just get my boo.."
I was dragged around the hallways like we were at the Olympic Games. Everyone looked at us, terrified. I couldn't do anything so I just let Vinyl drag me around.
After some minutes we arrive at the front door and the bell sounds.
"Well, we're here. Let's go!" I say entering the classroom.
Vinyl stays almost shivering. " Uh.."
"What's wrong?" I say peeking out from the door.
She shakes her head violently. "N-Nothing.."
I sat down in the middle row of seats and Vinyl next to me. The classroom was filled with conversations and phone ringings with various ringtones.
"Good morning, class"
We all shut up and look at the board.
"Welcome to Literature class. My name is Roseluck and i'll be your homeroom teacher from now on. Before anyone starts to talk and gossip about my appearance... I have twenty six years but I look younger because of my genes." Her lips twitch forming a smile. "Nice to meet you and I hope everyone enjoys and likes literature after learning on my care."
All the guys had hearts on their eyes or a blush. Heart eyes are possible? Wow.. The more you know. As expected the girls were looking angry or gossiping. I was happy that at least the teacher was going to be a nice and fun person.
The class passed without more interruptions and smoothly. I feel Vinyl trying to talk to me but I was focused on the lesson so I ignored her. After ten minutes I feel something tugging my arm on the desk. I look and see a page opened with something written...
I have a bad feeling about her. I don't care if she seems all nice and shit but I'm sure something horrible is gonna happen. My sixth sense doesn't lie.
~Vinyl.
I shrug. What bad thing can happen? She is just a new teacher...
Chapter Four: Ticking Feelings and Rising Awareness
I wake up my eyes heavy and my face wet. My hair wasn't in better condition since it was in a messed up braid. My strap dress was filled with sauce and parmesan cheese. I look around the room and realize I fell asleep in the dining room and every vase, painting and shelf was either broken or laying on the floor. The walls were filled with beef, wine and lemon soda.
The memories from yesterday coming back to me...
It all started on Tuesday. As usual I was on Doctor's office talking like I always do. After thirty minutes I see a text on my phone so I went to check it out. My eyes and smile widen.
"Ditzy, Are you alright?" He looked at me confusion clear on his face.
I got up and hugged him. I remember being so happy I could run a marathon. "Guess what?"
"W-W.. WHAT?!" For some reason I could feel a hard beating against me but decided that would be me. I think it was me.
"My dad is coming home to rest. He told me he might be getting home by the afternoon when I come back from school." I smile brightly.
He smiled nervously. I guess he must feel hot, even though is going to be fall in a couple of weeks. Wearing a tie and buttoned up, long sleeve shirt seems awful, I presume. " I-I'm g-glad. I wish you the b-best of luck."
I get up and the bell rings. "Well. I got to go.. Juniors don't have any class after lunch so I will head back home now to get everything ready for when Dad comes home." I pick up my cyan blue messenger bag. " See you on Thursday."
I open the door, but before going I smile as cute as I could to him. He smiled back, his cheeks turning a nice shade of red. I took that as my cue to leave. After closing the door I wondered why doc was blushing... Maybe he felt embarrassed because of me? ... Nah.. That's is impossible... Right?
I groan. C'mon Ditz, Focus! .. Dad is gonna be home in a couple of hours and I'm pretty sure I know the answer to those questions...
A definitive no.
After I get out of the school I went to the supermarket and brought myself a sky blue casual dress that ended four inches above my knees. I headed back home and got everything ready. I opened my laptop to play music as I worked on making my dad's favorite food.. Lasagna with parmesan cheese. It took me about two hours but when that was being cooked I went to the basement and got some Rioja Crianza wine. Put up the table with the most fancy plates and silver-ware on the house and pour it on one glass and filled the other one (mine) with soda since I'm still underage. Lastly I got the food from the oven and placed on the center of the table along with a basket full of chocolate cookies. I smile and went upstairs to change. I put up the dress and a pair of blue heels, almost making me fall from the marble-like stairs. Now that I think of it.. My house is pretty different from Vinyl's or Lyra's place, a lot of space, vases and night stands in almost every corner, plasma TV and red folded couch-bed with a seat that had a small hole so you could place a drink and a small crystal table in the center. I remember once that big brother told me that this place was way too big for only two people when he stayed over the night back in Middle School. Now that I look at it.. He is right.
I sigh and went to the dining room to wait for Dad.
Hours and hours passed, I was getting hungry but I wouldn't eat until Dad came so we could eat together and talk about his work or my life.
Time kept passing by and no sign of him.
I rested my head on my right hand sighing.
The night came and he wasn't there.
After two hours my phone rang and I picked up.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Oh sweetie.. I'm sorry I won't be coming home today. The experiment had a result we'll have to investigate more.. I hope you aren't mad at me.." I felt water coming from my eyes violently.
"Okay." That was all I could mutter.
"Alright. I promise I'll make it up to you. Love you sweetie." And he hung up.
I let my phone fall against the table. I stood up my hand clenched in fist.
"Oh right.." I whispered. "You are never here. You never can be here." I took the bottle of wine and threw it against the painting of a sunset on the wall, ruining it. "Don't you know how much time I wasted making all.." I took the lasagna and threw it against the floor, some of it falling on my dress. "Of this?! I even went to the bother of putting on some freaking heels!" I took my heels off and threw them against the table making both of the glasses break. "It hurts to have to raise myself up! Is like you abandoned me like she did!" I kept breaking everything that was on my reach out of anger. Every vase, painting and plant... All of them on the floor. After that I felt weak and sat down on the chair and ate a cookie before falling asleep.
I went to the bathroom and took my clothes off. I then put on a simple red top, a jean jacket, black pants, and boots. I also put my hair on a ponytail and picked up my wallet, phone, and a pair of keys as I headed toward the porch.
Once I was there I took off a blanket from a object revealing a motorcycle. I knew I had school but I felt the need of air and speed after yesterday's situation so I didn't cared also... If I showed up with my ride everyone will think I'm a bad girl or delinquent and I'm not one. Not now anyway.
I turned on the engine and went off ignoring the fact I didn't put on my helmet.
The air on my hair felt amazing. The day was bright and serene so I smiled. It would have been a waste of time not riding my baby on a day like this so I'm glad I skipped school today. The highway was empty so I could go fast as I wanted. I even rode on only one wheel smirking.
I guess I'm not too cold on my riding skills I thought and then went back to two wheels.
Then I saw a black pick up. I was about to crash into it but I was able to stop but went flying and fell on the street. I had some scratches and some bruises but my conscience was fine.
But is not like it doesn't hurt. Because believe me...
It hurts like heck
"This might be a stupid question that If you want to slap me I won't take it against you." I see a tall figure just about a feet taller than me. "Are you ok?"
I look up and find a guy using Crystal Prep school uniform. He skin was tanned in a bronze color and had ginger colored hair. His eyes were a pretty distinguished aquamarine green that stood out a lot. He wasn't so bad looking. I'll give him a 9/10.
"I'm fine and I don't mind. For me to be talking right now after slamming on the street is pretty much alarming." I chuckle.
"Quite. I must say i'm really impressed, perhaps you have been on some physical activity?" He asks, I can tell he has thee problem called 'Emotionless Voice' but not a complete stone-face like Maud Pie.
I nod. "I was on kick boxing when I was a kid. Only went three years though." He helps me get up. My right leg seemed to have suffered more than all of my body. He put my arm around his shoulder. "H-Huh?"
"Your hurt. I have a first aid kit on my truck just in case something happened and it wouldn't be ethical for me to leave a person who is hurt on the street." He keeps walking toward his car. I was about to say something but he cut me off. "Also, your motorcycle is not in good condition." He points at my baby. The poor was thrashed on the front and I can't even think of what else could be broken. I felt like crying. "Once I get you inside i'll load it on the back and get out of here as fast as we can."
I stare at the ground depressed, knowing my baby got hurt because of me, and I also fell myself getting down on a leather seat. I look up.
"You should be careful to be in the speed limit. Thank Atoms that you didn't get so badly damaged." He takes out some bandages and a tissue that smelled like alcohol and gave it to me. " Can you use your arms?"
I nod. "Yeah, I'm right handed. The one who had a bad time was Mr.Lefty here." I point at my left arm and take of my jacket revealing some bruises and a cut on my wrist probably from covering my head, mumbling curses while I desinfected them. He seemed to get bored and took the tissue and did it himself. I would have loved to say no or push him aside but with my left side in pain and the stinging from the alcohol it was futile. After some minutes he stops and covers the bruises with bandages. I looked at my arms, I looked so... AWESOME!!
"Well that's about it. Oh I almost forgot, I didn't tell you my name. My name is complicated and long to pronounce so people call me Tick Tock. Now that I said mine I guess you are supposed to tel me yours but if you don't want to is alri.." He looks at me.
We had our gazes interlocked for about five minutes until I decided to break it. "Nah is okay I don't mind. I'm Ditzy Doo Hooves but my friends call me Derpy." I smile. He was looking at me dumbfounded and with a soft pink blush on his cheeks. "You're from Crystal Prep?"
He nod. "Oh yeah. And I assume that you are from Canterlot High right?" I nod. "Wait here. I'll be right back." Then left to pick up my motorcycle.
I look down embarassed. I don't usually get help from others, well more like I don't like asking for help but in a situation like this I have no further choice. I throw punches at the air to make sure I still had some strength left just in case.
He closes the co-pilot's door and hops on the car turning the engine on. "You don't have to worry. Today, the school was going to get some new heaters for the upcoming winter and fix the computers of the library, so we were send back home early. And, since I'm in senior year and I have a car I decided to go to Sea Breeze Café for lunch. And that's how I got here." He drove out.
"I'm sorry. Thanks to me you may not be able to avoid the lunch hour rush." I said chuckling feeling guilty.
"No I don't mind. If I didn't came here you would have gotten problems with the police and.." Then he cheeks take a slight pale pinkish color. "I wouldn't have met you."
I laugh. "I don't think meeting me is a life changing thing but if you're cool with it then I guess is ok."
The rest of the trip was fun. He kept on talking about a lot of things, science, culture, literature and even about trending computer games like undertale. I looked at him thinking... If he might have came to my life sooner I would have developed a crush on him and maybe...
I wouldn't be so troubled on telling my feelings knowing that the wining possibility is...
No I better ignore that. Doc has always been more about his work than anything else so...
Everything is going to be just fine...
"Y-You don't have to.."
" I disagree. My treat, I was going here in the first place and I was going to drive you back to your house so I won't take a 'No' for an answer." He says opening the door for me. "Ladies first."
Right now we are in front of the cafe. I'm hungry but I don't want to be a nuisance after he offering to take me home.
Why does this things happen to me? Can I be just a normal girl for once?
Just enter and let's get this over with.
I groan as I enter the place. The interior was very rustic, just as expected. Wooden decorations and plants always give the impression of home or mountains making a comfortable and romantic atmosphere.
"I'll order. Is there anything you would like?" He asks looking at the menu that was placed on a small black board.
"I'll take the sandwich" I say thinking on how sexy the bacon with cheese fries would taste on my mouth but remembered of what the girls at my class always said 'Guys don't like girls who eat more like them.' and I don't want to make a bad impression.
"Alright so you're saying 'I want the special fries with bacon and cheese and soda'." I blushed feeling ashamed and was about to punch him but he walked toward the cashier and I missed. "You don't have to act like everyone tells you to. Girls who act way too uptight are annoying." The walks off.
I stay still feeling scolded. How can he even..? Is not fair! He is making me look like a dummy.
I groan and sit down in the first booth that was near the cashier and waited for him. Out of boredom I open my phone and text Big Brother for a while. Lucky bastard, not having to show up in school and pass his days playing video games. He is lucky we aren't related or I would have murdered him a while ago.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Tick Tock put the tray on the table and sat in the chair facing me. "So.. Why aren't you on school?"
I take a bite of a fry. "I felt like taking a day off so I did." Well partially true.
"I see.." He rests his chin on his left hand. "So you are a delinquent. That explains why you were going so fast."
I glare at him. "NO I'M NOT!" My face was red of anger.
"Then why you skipped school?"
I look down. I never talk about my family with anyone except Big Bro and Vinyl and even them don't know the whole story. I always kept the worst thing to myself so I wouldn't bother anyone. So I don't think I should but I feel like telling someone.
"I won't judge. I have my mind only on my experiments and inventions so the probability of me telling someone is very unlikely."
I sigh. "Well. Dad is a scientist so he is rarely even home. Yesterday he texted me he would be home in the afternoon." I could feel my tiers in the verge of getting out. "So I went home early and... I-I ma-de his favorite foods a-and b-rought a n-nice outfit and w-waited for him for a long time but." I start crying. "He never came and called me he wouldn't b-e b-ack. I woke up and felt the need of fleeing so I took out my motorcycle from the garage and went on my way. I'm sorry that I caused a mess out of anger. I'm really sorry"
He breaths deeply. "How many times I have to tell you? I don't mind." He sighs. "Though I don't know how to help you but..." He cups my face with his right hand cleaning one of my tears. "You'll get through this and if you need to talk to anyone you can count of me. Well if it is after five p.m since after that hour I'm on the school science club." He looks away blushing.
I couldn't help but laugh. He sure is awkward. Is rather fun.
Then I feel a strong presence. Full of anger and... Jealousy?
Both of us look over our shoulders and see no one less but Doc and Roseluck.
"Doctor? Mrs.Roseluck?" I blink twice to make sure I was awake.
"H-Hello." Doc said the look he had was... Scary.
"You don't have to call me like that. We are in the outside world so call me Rose." She looks at Tick Tock. "Oh who is that fine piece of.."
Doc glances at her. "You can't talk like that. We are people who work for a school. Act like one"
"No way! I was born this way and besides," She smirks. "We might have interrupted Derpy's date here."She laughs. "C'mon Turner.. We have to get our lunch and leave them to their thing. I'm so envious! Young Love."
I don't have to be physic to know Tick was blushing as red as a tomato like me. "Umm... We aren't on a date he was just.."
Rose cut me off. "Yeah yeah. We were on our way."She grabs Doc's hand and drags him out. He was looking at Tick like he wanted to kill him right in the spot. I felt a pang of anger.
LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU BITCH!! HE IS MINE YA HEAR MINE!!
Where did that come from?.
When I glanced back they were gone.
"Thank atoms I don't go to CHS. He looked at me, murdering and torturing me with different methods. Not something I would look forward to." He looked pale.
I wanted to chase over Rose and Doc but I thought against it. "He is not like that at all!. He is really nice and stuff. " I blush bashfully but stand normal. "Let's take them to go and leave before they sees us again."
"I couldn't agree more."
We take the food to go and went to his car feeling someone looking at us but shook my head.
My head sure is high right now.
"We should go to a mechanic"
"I-I don't know." I said nervous. I don't have good experiences with them. Most of the ones I met looked at me with creepy face.
"My friend is on college now so his garage his empty. He lend me his keys so I could house sit and use it to store my work. Also he was living with her sister so there's plenty of clothes so you can go home with clean and not damaged clothes. She is nice so she won't mind." Then he mumbles. "She would be more than happy since she has a cute adorable girls complex."
I laugh nervously. I hope I never cross paths with her.
We arrived at his friends house. He opened he door.
"Her room is upstairs. Not sure which room but if his was on the left side hers must be on the right door facing it and all rooms have their own bathroom so you won't have to search for it." He turns around. "I'll be on the garage." And leaves, closing the door.
I go upstairs and bathe, being a bit glad that Dad wasn't home. or I couldn't imagine how much trouble I would be in.
I went to the garage once I was done. The hot water made my muscles relax and lower the pain.
"Need help?" I say taking out a hammer.
He looked over to me and blushed. "Umm, That would be convenient."
The clothes in the girl's room were not my size, but gladly, I found something that fit me. A black strap shirt and short jeans that were a hand below my knees. "Okay then. Tell me what I can do." I say stretching my arms.
The rest of the day passed normal without more problems. Just two people fixing a motorcycle, drinking energy drinks and ordering pizza after three hours (which I offered to pay and after thirty minutes of argument he gave up).
"So is Crystal Prep cool?" I ask eating a slice of the pepperoni pizza with double cheese.
"That depends. In my opinion the school is tranquil so it makes it easy to study and pay attention but if you are someone who likes more lively places then Crystal Prep may not be of your preference." He says looking at the glass of the energizing liquid on his hands.
"I was going to study there but Vinyl and Bro were going to CHS so I didn't bother taking the entrance exam. It would have been neat if you were from CHS we could have met earlier in a less dramatic way." I smile.
"Maybe but we can still hang out when i'm not busy."
I smirk teasing him. "Are you asking me out?" I lean closer earning a blush from his part.
"I-It can be translated like that but my statement means that we can still talk and meet each other regardless of our different schools and routines." He was sweating.
I giggle. "You are really easy to read." I get away from him. "Is getting dark and the bike isn't fully fixed." I sigh.
He looks at the almost in normal state vehicle. "I can have her fixed up by Thursday afternoon. If you want I can bring her to you."
I look at him stars coming out from my eyes. Can he really do that? "Really?!"
He looks away. "O-Of course. The damage was not life threatining so is possible."
I hug him making both of us fall. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou! She means a lot to me. You are such an awesome guy!"
He looks away avoiding my stare. "If you say so. Either way I should drive you home so you can rest. The highway from Sweet Apple Acres and Uptown is closed so I have to take the long way so is better to go now since the city's streets gets crowded."
I nod and stand up offering my hand to help him up which he accepted.
The night fell and the city was adorned with lights making it look like Christmas. Though the holidays are just around the corner and Thanksgiving being three and a half weeks away, the whole city was already decorated with colorful lights and air snowman dolls. My gaze was stuck on the fascinating decoration looking at everyone walking on the sidewalk until I saw something.
Doctor and a familiar raspberry haired woman.
He had his arm around her shoulders and seemed to talk about something I couldn't hear clearly. They both shared a smile on their faces and seemed happy.
I felt my chest getting heavy. My throat drowning in anger and jealousy. It was too hurtful to watch but I couldn't even move my gaze from them.
Why can't that be me?
"Bubbles?"
I look over t Tick. "Bubbles?"
"Y-Yeah. I thought that a nickname would be proper since we are.. Friends. And the nickname Derpy doesn't seem to fitting for you in my opinion so," He blushes but keeps his vision on the road. "I will call you bubbles. If you don't mind that is."
I smirk softly. "Sure though you are the first person who says that."
"I'm glad."
I look at him. I think he smiled.
I really feel glad now that he is with me.
"Aren't you missing anything?"
We are in front of my house. He didn't felt easy leaving me in the front gate and I accidentaly left my copy of the front gate's remote so we had to go to the security guard. I'm still surprised the old man didn't go commando on Tick. He even told me he liked the 'champ' as he says it.
"No, I have it all here. Thanks for everything." I open the door. I felt like I should at least give him something as a token of my appreciation of all he has done for me and got an idea. "Can you wait here a bit? There's something I have to give you." I go inside before he even says anything.
I go to the kitchen and take out the chocolate cookies I made, put them in a basket and ran off.
"Here." I gave him the basket. "And i'll return the clothes when you come to school to bring my baby."
"You don't have to r-really.." He says nervous.
"C'mon Tick can you let a girl spoil you for once? Not all guys can say a girl is being super cute to them so..." I lean close to him and give him a kiss on his cheek. "Enjoy the experience." I get out of the car closing the door but letting the window open. "Adios!" I wave goodbye and go inside my house.
I could hear the car still in front of the house. After thirty minutes I hear it leaving slowly until it was gone. I crack up laughing.
"Wow he sure got the shock of his life." I say and go upstairs to my room. Once there I throw myself toward the soft pillows and blankets of my bed and rest ignoring the buzzing sound of my phone.
I have never been the center of attention. I prefer to be on the background to avoid the judgmental views of everyone so I always hide my right eye (my derped eye) with my bangs and try to be as good as I can be.
But today...
I was the center of attention of everyone on the parking lot.
Today was the day Tick was going to bring my motorcycle all fixed up, so he sent me a text to wait for him in the parking lot and that's why i'm here.
"So who is this Tick Tock fellow?" The light tanned girl said crossing her arms.
"I dunno. But, if Derpy let him near red-light then he must be one hell of a guy." Vy said excited. I'm glad I can't read minds because the face she has is everything but innocent.
Also Vinyl and Octavia tagged along with me. Something about 'Girls have to stick together' as Octavia said. But knowing her it only means one thing...
She wants to check if he is better that Doc so she can make me fall from him. Not that I mind, she is worried and wants me to have a secured happy ending as a princess from a fairy tale. Still, is not easy falling from love.
Or true love wouldn't exist and love would only mean sexual attraction.
Yeah, you can tell i'm sleepy.
"Derps! Is that him?" Said a very energetic blue bur.
I snap from my sleepy state and find Tick's car.
"Yeah. Let's go," I saw walking toward it.
I wave my right hand and my eyes meet a pair of aquamarine green ones.
He was wearing jeans, black boots and a apple red leather jacket. His ginger hair was messy as ever but looked good from the look on Octavia's and the other girls face. I laugh.
"You're quite the lady killer."
He looks around. "I don't understand what you said, but I'll take it as a compliment." Then took out my baby from the back. She looked like the day I brought her. The colors were bright and its wheels were round and hard. My type of ride.
"I-It's amazing!" I went toward my baby, touching the leather seat. "How could you do this in so little time?"
"I told you that the damages were small and not life threatening. Nothing a quick replacement and paint couldn't do."
My lips curve into a smile and I hug him. "You are the coolest and most awesome guy ever!" I say, clinging my arms to his shoulders. After some seconds I pulled back. "So how much would it be? Two hundred? three hundred?" I say opening my wallet.
"Y-You don't have to pay me. I'm thinking of being a inventor so anything that means repairing helps me as practice for future projects. Although.." He looks away from me. "There's going to be a dinner and my parents wanted for me to invite you. I accidentally said I was late because I had to help a girl out and they interrogated me. So they told me to invite you over to dinner tonight. I-If you want to is alright, saying this out of the blue must be ridiculous.."
I nod. "Sure."
"R-Really?"
"Yeah." I smile. "Sounds like fun! And since you helped me out, this may be my opportunity to repay you!." Vy coughs hard as a sign of 'You know we are here right?'. "Oh. And this are my friends." I look over to the spiky-haired girl. "Vinyl," Then toward the charcoal, straighten but elegant haired girl who looked star-struck. I push her so she would be next to me. "And Octavia."
Octavia stares dumbfounded at him but then blushes. "U-Um.. I-I'm Octava.. O-Octavia M-Melo.. Mela.." Vinyl and I look annoyed and shake her. "OCTAVIA MELODY!" She looks down blushing madly.
Vinyl groans. "Seriously Octy? You can't lose your cool in front of any guy who is worthy of being a man." Then looks at him. "You may be cute and all but that doesn't mean you can ask Derps a thing like that!" She looked like she was ready to jump and attack him.
"Vinyl?" I look at her confused. "Excuse us for moment.." I take her hand and walk toward a far away car. Once there I let her go. "Vy. What is going on?"
She looks at me angry. "It's suspicious that he asked you something like that. To go at his place for dinner with his parents is strange. And making Octy nervous? That just makes him even more suspicious." She looks down. "Sorry, is that lately, I been feeling like something bad is gonna happen and.." Then sits on the street. "I'm...worried."
I sit next to her and put my arms around her, pulling her into a hug. "Is okay. I won't go on a rampage like last time. I promised I would never hurt anyone, remember?" I look directly at her magenta eyes. "I swore to keep calm and i'm gonna keep it." I smile. "So stop worrying about me. If he tries anything i'll call Big Bro and don't try anything reckless."
"You will?"
I punch my chest. "You bet." and then smirk.
We both laugh and I stand up. "C'mon. We better get there before Octavia dies from high level hormones." I offer my hand to her.
She takes it. "Yeah. The only one who can make Lil Miss Fancyskirts die from shyness are us." Then gets up smirking.
We go back to Tick and Octy. She looked relieved that we were back that I think I saw her eyes glitter.
"We're back."
Vy looks. "Look man... I won't say i'm sorry but for Derps and Octs sake," She looks at his jacket. "That jacket looks cool."
He blinks twice. "Uh, thanks?" And looks at his phone. "I have to get going. I'll see you all later. Bubbles," I nod. "Octavia." Octavia replies by smiling nervously and raising her hand. "Vinyl." Vy just glared at him, but he didn't flinch. He then got in his car and left.
"'Bubbles'? Did he mean you?" Octavia said, raising an eyebrow.
"I definitely don't trust him at all now. Suspicious shy guy. Is he the gender-bender of Fluttershy or her cousin?" She groans. "I will need to investigate him."
I laugh at both of the girls, ignoring the stares I was getting from being with my motorcycle. This was surely fun.
I took deep breaths.
Calm down Derpy. Remember she is a teacher. I'm sure everything is going to be fine...
I went inside the classroom and saw.. Guess what?
Rose with Doc.
Talking and laughing like friends.
Oh sure! Rub it on my face you cow!
I groan. My inner voice sure has a vocabulary. I breath deeply, I feel myself dizzy.
"Miss Doo, are you okay?"
Doc was in front of me in a flash. Ha! I made a thing. He looked concerned.
Oh sure, Be the knight in freaking armor. First you are so nice to someone and then back-stab them.
Please anger, it's too early to ruin my day.
I walk away and toward my seat, ignoring him. I sat down and started to copy all the lessons I missed from ditching, putting a pair of headphones Vinyl gave me the day we went shopping for some video games for Big Bro's birthday and put the loudest and hardcore song I got.
A rock song Lyra downloaded on my phone.
I kept writing but occasionally heard some laughs and I put the music on maximum volume and wrote faster. After some minutes I could feel someone tugging my arm. Ignored.
They kept tugging my arm.
I ignored, Ignored, and ignored.
Until it got annoying.
I growled and took of my headphones "WHAT?!"
Doc flinched. "Uh. I'm.. sorry."
I sigh. "Sorry I was just so rushed up to get this over with."
He smiles. "I should be the one to apologize. You always have been so eager to get high scores on the school. Although i'm slightly curious.. Who was that.. gentleman who accompanied you yesterday? A relative?"
I blinked twice. My head was confused. Why he wants to know that? Also, I can't tell him I had an accident. I bet he will call dad and i'm not in the mood for more fighting and I don't feel like saying 'Welp, I thought about ditching school because I was angry as heck so I took my motorcycle. Had an accident and met a cool senior guy who we went to his friend's house who is on college so we were in a empty house and hung out. BTW he brought my motorcycle safe and fixed and i'm going to his house to have dinner with his parents even though we just met yesterday to help him out'. That sounds suspicious even for me so...
I'll lie.
"He is my cousin's friend. We met by coincidence and decided to catch up..."
Make him jealous.
He doesn't like me.
Maybe that way he will think you are more mature. Also I don't see the harm.
I guess that could be fun.
"He is so cool right? I wish he would study at CHS but I guess not everyone can have an easy life. What did you think about him Doc?"
He looked reluctant but then replied. "He seems... Good."
I smile. "Yeah."
Rose got into our conversation. "Yeah. If you want to be with him then." She holds my hands. "I'll be rooting for you."
What have I done? "Thanks Rose. I'll need all the help I can get."
Like you flying off back to wherever you came from. If you want I can reserve you a ticket now with a kick on your as..
Shut up!
"Oh well is almost eight." He looked toward us. "I'll be seeing you two later and Derpy.."
"Yes?"
"You have to be at my office after lunch alright?"
I nod. "Okay!"
He goes mumbling something but I couldn't hear it.
Everyone entered the classroom and after some minutes class started. I thought looking at the wall.
How does he see me? Like a woman? Friend? or...
A kid?
I groan resting my head on the desk.
"Come on in."
I opened the door discovering a light cream colored man. His dark chocolate hair was in perfect shape despite of being afternoon. I play with my hair to make sure it was on a perfect condition. His sapphire eyes land on me.
"You're hair is fine." He laughs. "There is no need for you to fix it up."
I sit down, my cheeks feeling hot.
"So.." He stops writing on some papers and gives me his attention. "How has everything been going lately? How did it go with your dad"
I felt my body freeze. Anger was rising on my veins. "Good." I said forcing a smile.
"Well then. I'm glad everything is working out for you. Your dad passed time with you despite of his busy schedule. Your grades are in perfect shape and you seem to be getting along well with your friends and.." He stopped. "Have a guy you seem to be getting along well." Then laughs. "I wonder why you keep going so frequently when you are mostly in a good shape."
I felt anger rising. That's what I get for lying about Tick. I want to say 'No. I don't like Tick, Dad ditched me and to make it worse.. You are way too close with that cow! Tell me do you like woman with double d size boobs? You know that when girls get older those fall and it looks awful?'
How do you see me?
"Derpy?"
I see that tears were falling from my eyes. He sighs and stands up, kneels so he could be at my height. "What's wrong?"
What's wrong? Funny thing you ask... I'm angry but not at my Dad, no.. He is already a lost cause...
"I'm angry at you! why aren't you paying more attention? Heck I even faked I liked Tick just to get a reaction of you" I blurted out yelling. I then realized what I said and I covered my mouth.
"That's what's wrong? You are angry because i'm passing more time with Rose than you?" He cleans the tears from my eyes with his hand. He was so warm. "Don't worry." He smiles.
Then this means that...
"You will always be important to me Derpy. I'll take care of you and promise I will give you more attention."
I blink twice.
He hugs me. "You sure can act like a kid. I won't forget about you so easy."
The words echo in my head. Am I really just a kid tor him?
A dumb hopeless little girl?
"Derpy?"
I snap out of my thoughts. "Y-Yes?"
"You look like you have seen a ghost. I hope I haven't cross the line." He says concerned.
That is the problem... You didn't and it hurts.
"N-No, not at all." I fake a smile. "I'm glad you said that. R-Really."
Wow.. I could really be an actress now that I think of it. Somebody give me my freaking Oscar.
"I should be going." I stand up, the feeling of flee growing. "See you later Doc!" I open the door and go off before he could even reply.
You really are mean. No...
You're the worst Doc...
"If a guy sees a girl like a sister but she wants to show him otherwise.. What should she do?" I text Big Bro.
After a minute he replies.
I can't tell you much about it but..
If she wants that the dude takes her more seriously she should tell him that she wants to be more than friends.
Big Bro.
"But if she tells him that, she might ruin everything." Tears were falling from my eyes.
What is better?
To have him near but be suffering because she can tell him her feelings
Or just growing a pair on the chest and tell him straight out. Big Bro
"Number One, you are a pervert. Number Two, isn't there any other form of telling the guy without being too straightfoward?" I felt my cheeks warm.
Sadly but that's the only way to go.
Also, I saw the opportunity and took it. ;)
"Can you please be serious about it?" I was getting pissed at him.
I AM being serious.
Guys can't tell if a girl actually likes them because most of guys are dense.
"But you noticed the whole 'using you' wisteria"
Because I always pay attention to everything around me.
Not all guys are like that.
Anyway, that's about it.
I hope it was useful in some way.
"A bit. But what if she wears some 'nice' clothes? would that help?"
Can't say.
As long as she doesn't go from sweet to 'My clothes are so short that you can see my birth suit'
Now that is just awful.
Hot but crossing the line.
"I bet you would love to see that" I roll my eyes.
Maybe.
But not when it comes to my best friend. -.-
Nice try on making me think it was another girl.
You almost fooled me. XD
But I must be going. Bad practice.
Love you Goldilocks and don't get eaten by the bear.
I blink twice feeling even more pissed than before. "What the actual hey?"
I wish I could understand what is going through his head..
No, it's better not to... I want to keep my innocence and sanity.
After some hours of messing around with my phone, I decide to take a bath.
Once there i turn on the shower, letting the warm water relax my muscles.
"You can be so childish.."
"What is better.. To have him around but suffering because she can tell him her feelings?"
"I'll be rooting for you.."
"SHUT UP!" I yell, throwing the sponge against the tub.
I sat down sighing. This isn't fair.
I get out and put on some leggings, a purple t-shirt and sandals. I then put on a jacket, taking the house keys and my phone along, I leave my house, getting on and ridding my motorcycle.
Sugar Cube Corner was full. Some people I recognized from school were there. There were also some kids running around, giving their mothers a headache. I, personally, was annoyed because it was way too full for my liking.
"Derpy! Oh Derpy!"
I look over to the voice to find a hot pink haired girl who, like always, acts like she was high on sugar. I was about to leave but I feel someone pulling me over toward them.
"You can sit over here! Sugar Cube Corner is a busy place but today? It sure breaks the record. Umm maybe I should write this day as the day Sugar Cube Corner breaks their customer limit and Derpy is here! Ohh! Make this the Day that the record was broken and Derpy joins us. This could be celebration! I should throw a party.." The girl kept on talking.
I really wanted to leave. Being next to Canterlot's Party Planner and most loved girl, Pinkie Pie was surely not the way I was planning of getting some air.
"I don't know why you are always are using a ponytail." the purple haired girl known as Rarity said, looking at my hair. "Your hair would really look amazing if you let him down and free."
"Rarity, ya can't say stuff like that."
"Why not Aj? I'm just stating the obvious."
I smile nervously and feel a tug on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry Derpy. I hope we aren't making you uncomfortable."
My eyes meet a pair of cyan colored eyes. Her red and yellowish hair that gave away who she is... Sunset Shimmer.
I remembered what she did to Vinyl, Big Bro, and me. I get up from my seat. My anger was in a level that could make me blow up as a volcano. "No. I just don't feel like being around anyone." And more if it is you. "Thanks for the invitation Pinkie but I should be going. Have a goodnight." I say and leave the place. Some people were looking at me angry or offended by the way I treated her but I didn't care. What she did is not something Vinyl or I will forgive easily.
Don't get me wrong! I know that was rude, but...
I don't feel like being around people if I have to fake a smile.
I decided to just take a walk. I saw a small store who sell hot chocolate and cookies and decided to buy some.
As I was paying for the treats, I saw a little girl's cookies fall to the ground.
"Mommy!"
The woman looked desperate. "I'm sorry sweetie but.."
I walk over to the girl and kneel to meet her height. "What is wrong?"
The girl cleaned her tears but they kept falling. "M-my cwokkie.. fell!.. wuaah!"
I look over to the bag on my hands. "Close your eyes."
She did as I told and I put the bag on her hands.
"Open them"
She opened up her eyes. "Ah!" She hugs me tightly. "You're the best!"
I laugh. "Thanks and do me a favor.." She nods. "Be brave and stay as sweet like the cookies I gave you. The world can be difficult but don't let that bring you down." I smile. "Smile and keep going okay?"
The girl smiled. "Yes Miss. I will try my best!"
I stand up giving her another smile.
"How much that would be?" The woman asks me.
I raise my hand. "Nothing. Just take care of her no matter what."
She smiles. "I will."
I walk off. Suddenly having a deja vú
"I will stay here my little star. So don't cry"
I shake my head and keep walking.
Then I step in on a scene I couldn't believe.
Doc and Rose were together. She was blushing saying something but I couldn't hear a thing. I couldn't get near without being spotted.
I felt like someone was throwing arrows on my chest.My anger boiling harder than soup.
He seemed to look down but then looked at her and said something.
Wait... Did she?
She hugged him and was crying with tears on her face.
It hurts to see them. I feel my hand raising to his direction in a attempt to reach him.
I... I'm too late...
Then I see someone getting between them, breaking their embrace. I let out a breath I didn't even knew I was holding. I walk off from the scene.
My head started to fill up with thoughts..
Was that a confession?
I guess? I'm not quite sure...
Well at least someone broke them up before something happened. You should be grateful.
I-I'm scared. What if he just accepted her confession a-and...
I go straight home.
The air out in here is too suffocating for me now.
Beep Beeep
I haven't sleep at all. The fear of having lost Doc was too much to bear. My eyes were puffy and red from crying. Luckily, I didn't break a thing on the house.
I get up from my bed and look at my reflection. My eyes had bags under them, the golden mane I call hair was made a mess.
"I can't go looking like this." I say going back to my bed.
My phone rings and I answer.
"Yes?"
"Derp, you won't believe what I just saw.." The voice was definitely of Golden Harvest (Or Carrot Top as short).
"What?" I change of position on the bed.
"I think that Miss Roseluck and Doctor are a thing, you see... I was walking around town from having dinner with my bf in a fancy, five star.." She kept on going but I cut her off.
"Can you go straight to the point?"
"Wow. You sure are eager." She says with a giggle and I roll my eyes. "Well I think that cause...."
"I SAW THEM KISSING!!" She fangirls over the phone. I drop it involuntarily. "Derpy? Derp?"
I pick it up shaking. "R-Really?"
"Yes! OMG you can't.. I just can't... Ahh!" She screams again excited.
I look over my closet.
What is better? To keep silent....
"Carrot..."
"Yes Derpy?"
Or to risk it all?
"Can you pick me up in front of the small Café near Diamond street?" I stand up searching for a exact pair of clothes.
"Yes. I'll be there waiting for you. Bye Chica." She hung up.
"I guess that little Derpy has to die today." I say and pick an outfit. "I can't stay a kid for all my life after all."
I strip from my short sleeves pajamas.
"Everyone has to grow up one day." I put on the outfit.
The outfit was a short black skirt, white strap shirt and knee height grayish blue heel-boots. I put on mascara and makeup to hide my bags and puffy eyes. Pick up my bag and put a hoodie inside just in case. At last, I went with a ponytail that made my hair fall on my shoulder and put on a necklace that had a design of a red heart. I didn't use it but today I felt like using it.
I ran toward the door. Looking around before going.
"I will show him." I turn around and open the door. "That I'm not just a kid." I walk outside. "Not anymore" I slam the door shut and walk toward the Café near my home where my ride is waiting for me.
I never had walked through the school halls with so much confidence. It's true what Rarity said in Art Class a few months ago...
"Wearing the perfect clothes is like wearing armor. When you are using a normal, boring armor, you feel protected but still know you're vulnerable." She then stands up from her chair to make a dramatic pose, looking like a warrior. "But when you are wearing a perfect, majestic, glamorous, and sexy outfit, you feel invisible. The swords woman inside of you comes out, and walk every step with pride and confidence! That's the power of the prefect dress!!! NEVER. UNDERESTIMATE. THE. POWER. OF. FASHION!!!" and hit the table with a dress she pulled of from somewhere.
My grin widens. Everyone was looking at me strangely, but I didn't mind. In my mind there was only one thing...
To show Doc how much he means to me...
I see Roseluck and Doctor walking in the hallway. Rose is wearing a floral, casual dress with a white necklace, bracelets, and matching earrings. She occasionally puts a strand of her hair behind her ear.
Oh sure... Dress up all nice and innocent to make Doc think you're adorable. You'll see.. I'll show you not to mess with me!
I walk off to the bathroom. The bells sounds and everyone runs toward their classrooms like an stampede, making me fall and hit my head against an open locker.
"Hehehe." I was seeing stars in my eyes, my brain being dazed. I shake my head.
You don't have time for this! Go to the bathroom to make sure your makeup didn't get messed up, then get your bubble butt into Doc's office!
I run to the restrooms and look at a mirror. I was perfect.
As I saw my reflection in the mirror, I started to feel scared. "Maybe I shouldn't.."
Backing out is not an option!
"But... "
You don't have a choice. You have to make him realize
"How can I beat someone as pretty as Rose?" I felt my eyes water along with the small portion of confidence I had.
You might not be as pretty as her but... You have something she doesn't have...
"What could that be?"
Desperation.. Remember that dream you had...?
"Y-Yes.."
Do it.
"Y-You can't be serious.." I stutter on my words.
You have any better ideas Blondie?
"N-No.." I look down.
Don't look so sad.. Remember, only the strong survive.. After all..
"I have determination in my favor." I look at my reflection feeling my confidence come back to me.
I fix my makeup again and leave the bathroom when I'm completely satisfied.
"Let's do this!" I leave the bathroom, discussing the plan in my head.
It's now or never...
I was standing outside of Doc's office. His secretary said that an emergency with her son just came up and she had to leave so she told me to notify him and rushed toward the door. I couldn't help but feel glad she was going to leave me alone with him and that his office was far away from the principal's office.
No! she had an emergency.. You shouldn't feel good about it!
Too late... I'm glad.
I open the door and see Doc acting like usual; Signing some papers with a scorn on his face.
"Cady, I need the files from February in order to know what the bloody hell this is abou-"
"Wow, Doc! I didn't know you had such a vocabulary!." I interrupted, smirking.
His eyes widen at the sight of me. "D-Derpy!" I could see his cheeks turn as red as apples. "W-Why are you here? Also.." He was trying to not look down. "I-I see you changed your outfit."
I smile. "Yeah." Then I spin trying to make him see all my clothes. "I though that a makeover would do me good. Do you like it?" I rest both of my elbows on his desk, resting my head on my hands.
"U-Um.. " He steps back. "I-Is nice, a bit too bold for my own sake that is."
"Pardon? Did you said something?" I lean even closer. " I couldn't hear you."
"N-Nothing.. Either way.." He breaths deeply and smiles. "W-What brings you here? Shouldn't you be in Rose's Class?"
I laugh nervously. "Y-Yeah but.. ah! ... Cady told me that she has to go early because her son had an accident at his school and she has to be there, yeah that."
"Oh.." He looks back to his paper work. "Alright then."
I sigh. I didn't want to do this but..
I have no other choice.
"I-I heard.."
He looks up to me, raising an eyebrow. "Yes?"
"That you and Rose are... a thing.. I-Is that.. " I pull a chair and sit next to him. "True?" I felt my anger rise again.
"Well.. Not exactly." He took of his glasses of. "She confessed to me. I told her I don't know what I feel about her." Then he sighs. "She then kissed me and well.. It was awful what happened after that."
I felt myself snap.
"Did you and her..." I was in the verge of tears but I swallowed them.
He blushes madly. "N-No! Of course not! She is a dear friend of mine and I would never take advantage of her!"
I look down. "What if another girl said she loves you? A girl that has loved you for a long time.. A girl who gets sad every time she has to go home because she won't be able to see you until the next day? A girl.."
I lean closer to him until our faces were just inches away from each other. "Like me?"
He looks at me concerned. "D-Ditzy?"
I kiss him.
I didn't cared if someone walked on us. I want to show him how much he means to me. I know i'm not good with words so i'll show him with my actions.
I don't know if he kissed me back. Doing this...
Felt so right.
I kept kissing him and sat on his lap to close the gap between us.
I want to stay like this forever..
I pull of from the kiss. "Like me." I said between breaths. My cheeks were red. "I... lo.."
"NO!" He shouts interrupting me.
My eyes widen.
"This isn't right! You are confusing your feelings for me because i'm showing kindness toward you thinking that is romantic love!" He looked angry.
"N-No! I do love you! My parents don't have anything to do with this! I really love you. I.." I feel like I was going to drown.
"Even so... Your a student and i'm a employee on the school, is against school rules to be with students." He then looks at me. "This forbidden love could be the end of the both of us!"
"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!! I don't care what everyone or society thinks. I just want to be with yo-" I felt tears fall from my eyes. The tears felt like they were burning my skin. I was about to hug him but he grabbed both of my wrists.
"WHAT ABOUT YOUR CAREER? YOU WANT TO BE A CHEF! NO UNIVERSITY WANTS A STUDENT WHO WAS KICKED OUT BECAUSE THEY WERE WITH THEIR PSYCHOLOGIST! THEY WILL NEVER ACCEPT A GIRL LIKE THAT!" He was holding my wrists strongly. It hurts
I look down. "Doc.. I-It hurts." The tears were falling like a waterfall.
He looks down and lets me go. "Go.."
"D-Doc?" I look at him. Concerned? Scared? Who knows.
"I SAID.. GET OUT!" He said looking at me with pure anger.
I get up full of fright..
Then I snapped.
"I HATE YOU!!! I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT FUCKING DAY WITH ROSE! I WISH I NEVER MET YOU!" I open the door and stormed off.
I ran and ran through the halls and accidentally tripped.
"Watch where you are going, Derpy!" The rainbow-haired girl said pushing me off of her. "Damn.. first you make me fall to the ground in gym class and broke my leg, and now this!"
I clenched my fist. The anger on me was bursting like a volcano.
"Can you at least watch were your going.." I punched her right in the face before she could finish her sentence.
"Oh sorry! My hand slipped." I laugh. "Also.." I grab her t-shirt and pull her up. "Don't dare to ever.." My grip tightens. "Call me Derpy you threw up Rainbow kid." I let her go.
She ran toward me and tried to kick me but I grabbed her leg and threw her against the floor. She couldn't get up. I could see a bruise on her cheek from my punch.
"I told you so.." I was smirking.
I didn't know what was going on. The anger, sadness, regret were too high. The noises too loud.
"What ya think ya'll did?" Applejack was next to Rainbow. Her eyes filled with anger.
I blink, opening my eyes.
Rarity, Fluttershy, Sunset and Twilight were looking at me. A mixture of confusion, anger, rage and..
Fright.
I stumble back.
"I-I'm... " I was terrified.
"Darling are you..?" Rarity walked toward me.
I ran away mumbling ' I'm sorry' and got out of the school.
I had to get away from them, I never wanted to hurt anyone.
I have to go...
To him
I don't know how many streets or houses I have passed. I have to get there.
He is the only one who can help me.
I arrive at a rustic, three floor house that was desolated from the other houses. I throw a potted plant against the ground and reveal a silver key from it. I open the door and ran toward the kitchen were a light tanned guy with cyan blue hair adorned with lighter blue streaks. I open my arms and jump to hug him. He realizes it was me and put his arms up. I hugged him, but he stayed balanced.He caressed my golden hair with his right arm and hold me closer with the other. He sighs.
" D..." He then cup my face with his hands. "Did you fight?" I nod and he hugs me. "There, there.." I cry and sob on his plain white shirt. " Big Brother is here.."
"I'll leave you on my room so you can take a hot bath and change into some warmer clothes. Feel free to use any of my clothes or just go to your self proclaimed room for some, alright?" I nod, holding onto him like a kid. He walked into his room and placed me on the floor gently. "I'll be on the kitchen. You want some hot chocolate with cookies like always, right?" I nod again. "Okay then. If you need me just call." He then went downstairs, leaving me alone.
I sigh and go to the empty room. The room had a night stand, a closet filled with spare of clothes that belonged to his blood related big sister. I take some of them and go to his room to use the bath.
The warm water felt good on my skin. I was shocked more than sad.. They way I acted towards Rainbow... I would never hurt her in my right sense of mind. I didn't even realize I hurt her until I saw her on the floor. The only thing I remember is the anger flowing through my veins, everything getting too loud and, well...
I got scared..
I finish bathing and get out of the bathtub, put on one of his hoodies and shorts and head to the kitchen. I sit down on one of the chairs in silence.
"Oh you're done." He chuckles. "You usually take an hour, so I was taking my time to make your food." He then passes me the mug filled with the hot chocolate and a tray of chocolate chip cookies. "Here you go."
I nod as a sign of thanks and took a bite. I didn't felt like eating so I put the cookie inside the mug and played with it. He sits next to me.
"You rarely visit me... I was getting worried." He took a sip of his mug. "Vy comes here almost every weekend but you only text me once in a while. You sure know how to give a guy a heart break." A chuckle escapes his lips.
I rested my head on his chest, tears falling again. I broke down sobbing and screaming.
He put his arms around me, holding me. "D... What happened? You can tell your Big Brother Flash anything." With his thumb he wipes a tear from my right eye, putting my bangs back.
"I-I... I'm so sorry! I broke our promise.. If Vinyl knew.. She would hat-hate me for-ever." I said between hiccups and sobs. I was holding his shirt tightly.
He pats my back. "D.. " Then cups my face. "If you don't say what happened I can't say if I can fully forgive you, I bet she would love an explanation just like I do."
I sob and take a deep breath. "I-I guess.. " I put a strand of my golden, soft hair behind my ear. "I should tell you the whole story." I look down. "Just promise you won't hate me or feel disgusted. I-I couldn't live with myself if you hate me."
He hugs me close, caressing my hair. "I promise."
I smile and went to the living room. The rain started to fall outside making the coldness of the room more unbearable.
Once there, I sat down, hiding my hands in the pockets of the hoodie. Flash just sat down next to me in silence.
No lie will get you out of this. Might as well just pour all of it out.
I told him everything, not leaving any detail. He looked at me the whole time with a soft expression.
That's the thing I always admired of him. He was capable to be calm and down to earth, not letting his emotions control him. Most of people always saw Flash as nothing but a scary, mysterious, rebel that was Sunset's boyfriend (And some even think he doesn't go to school because of her or that he broke up with her because he was supposedly 'cheating' even though that is a lie).
"D... I had no idea.. Why didn't you tell me sooner?" He said, shocked.
"I didn't want to tell you because you would have told me to stop." I say, fidgeting with my hands.
"Y-Yeah but, I would have told you to not do that. My dumb advice got you into trouble." He was feeling bad, guilty.
"N-No.. " I hug him. "You thought he was someone our age. Is my fault for not telling you sooner and leaving you in the dark."
"S-Still..." He chuckles, his expression turning somber. "I'm the worst guy ever. I wasn't able to protect you nor Vinyl.." He smiles. "I definitely can't be called a man after this."
"You didn't know! We never told you anything because you are so nice to us and.. We didn't want to abuse your kindness."
He had his vision glued to the floor.
"What is important is that you are here with me. You always let us in, this place is peace.. Home." I smile softly. "That is all we need. We are family remember?" I pat his soft blue hair. "So please don't feel bad about yourself-" I put both of my index fingers on the corner of my lips and smile. "Okay?"
He sighs. "You can't let anyone feel depressed in front of you, can't you?" He holds me close. His warm felt nice.
"If I didn't I couldn't be me." I giggle. He lets me go, blushing out of anger. "Don't be so childish. Although you look cute when you're angry."
He crosses his arms, pouting. "Can't you be serious? Then i'm the one ruining the moment."
I laugh at his action, my belly hurting. He smiles. "Is nice to hear you laugh."
I smirk. "Oh really? You almost seem too happy. Almost like you like me."
He laughs. "In your dreams, D. Or else this would had ended in another place with you wearing barely any clothes, or, If I say, maybe sweating and-" He smirks, but I push him off from the couch.
"Pervert." I say blushing madly.
He keeps laughing and I join him. After some minutes we stop.
"You should take a break. Ignore him altogether and hang out with the people you love and loves you back. That's the way you can heal the scar he left in you." He says lying down on the wooden floor.
"How can you be so sure?" I say hugging one of the pillows in the couch. It had a shape of a cute bird.
"You should stop underestimating us." His gaze locks up on mine. "You know we love you. You aren't Ditzy Hooves anymore. The violent, bitchy and insane girl from years ago doesn't exist anymore. Even so, remember that day?"
I look away. "Yeah.. I used to bully you, hit you everyday. You never told anyone and endured my beat downs. Saying 'I want to be your friend. You feel better now?' " I felt like crying but not of anger, but.. Happiness. "You sure a were persistent one back then. And more stupider."
He chuckles. "I knew that the upper classmen were bullying you. I even saved you from them, remember?"
"Yeah. I was being called names and decided to beat them up but.. They were stronger and grabbed my arms. I thought I was done for but-" I hold the pillow closer. "You jumped in and saved me."
"Mhm." He smiles. "And then you stopped bullying me but kept ignoring me. I followed you until you let me be your friend."
"You were getting on my nerves. If it weren't for you I wouldn't met Vy or.. Have a place I can feel like i'm home."
"No need to thank me. You and Vy made this dark, big place a home. We aren't so different. Despite us being different genders and years."
"Don't you feel lonely?"
He shrugs. "Sometimes. But I keep on going..." He looks to the window. "Not all stories have happy endings but..." Then smiles. "That doesn't mean you will let the story end like that. We have to find our ray of sunshine in the middle of the rain, even if it the rain is pouring a waterfall."
I smile. "I never thought you were a poetic guy."
He stands up. "Sometimes it comes to me." He then heads towards the kitchen. "Let's eat something and, if you want, call the girls to come over here." And leaves me alone.
I get up, heading toward the kitchen but not before glancing over the window.
Things will get better
I smile feeling a little ray of hope. Is not that i'm fully recovered but...
The long, wooden table was filled with food, laughter and shouting.
Bon-Bon and Lyra were helping setting the table, while Vinyl was... Well... 'playing with Flash' (More like acting like a molester, give him a break Vy)
Octavia sighs. "I can't believe we are doing this... Seriously, How can he be so calm? Vy is three seconds from pouncing on him." She groans. "You better not be trying anything on him, Vinyl!"
"Sí Ma!" Her voice said from the other room along with a cry for help from Flash.
Octy twitches from anger while a laugh along with a smile escapes my lips.
"Sheesh, Can't they act like normal people for one day? It sure is noisy." She crosses her arms.
"I guess, though... Is better this way." I smile. "It's lively now."
The charcoal haired girl looks taken back but then smiles softly. "Y-Yeah."
"Alsoooo-" I smirk. "I invited Tick to come here! Neat, right?"
A blush that could make red look like yellow appeared on her cheeks. "O-Of course, you know what t-they say, 'T-he m-more the m-merrier.'" She was sweating.
I rest my head on my hands.
It's good to be around people that love you and you love back.
"We're here."
I unbuckle my seat-belt and open the door.
I step outside. A ray of sun falls on my eyes and I try to not lose my sight. I feel someone putting a pair of sunglasses on my face.
"Here." I put them on my eyes. Flash was looking at me, smiling. "God, sometimes I feel like I'm your dad instead of the mad scientist named Aqua Doo, the scientist with the most girly name I have ever heard."
I laugh. "Yeah." I tug his black leather jacket. "C'mon, weren't you going to make sure I wasn't left alone today? It's almost time to go to class." I drag him by holding his arm.
"The things I do for you gals." He paused for a moment before continuing. "I told you to take a break from school, and you insist on going despite your wound being still open and fresh." He said, trying to make me stop but failing.
"I'm going to ask principal Celestia if I can deliver my project with Lyra or Bon-Bon and take all the exams on weekends like you do." I say, opening the front doors.
"I don't know if she will let you do it by your own. She called my parents for permission before coming to that agreement."
"That's easy..." I stop and smile innocently. "I'll give them your number and voila!"
"I don't think they are that dumb..." He said glaring.
I get out of the Principal's office.
Flash was resting his back against the wall. For some reason he looked uncomfortable. "So? I told you they wouldn't buy that cra-"
I show him a paper. "They agreed! " I give him the paper. "I'm officially excused from going to school for the rest of the first semester."
He was reading the paper almost in disbelief. "What the hell? And they are in charge of a school?"
I hold his hand and raise it. "Huzzzah!" I glance over toward him. "How are you feeling?"
"Scared of our generation and our security." He said, a sweat drop on his temple. He kept looking back.
"Is there something wrong?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
He leans closer and whispers. "Lyra has a car right?"
"Y-Yeah, well.. A yaris but.."
"Call her and stay at her house or yours. Something just..." He keeps looking straight. "Came up and i'll have to take care of it pronto."
"Umm, Okay but..." I glance at him. "Is everything.. Fine?"
"Yeah, yeah, splendid.." He steps back. "Sorry i'm leaving you so soon."
"No, n. I'ts okay." I shake my hands. "If i'm not mistaken Lyra is free now." I kiss Flash on the cheek, and mess his hair. "See ya." Then I walk off.
That was... strange. Well, he usually is strange, but this is new. Maybe a girl called to meet him and have....
I sigh.
I should've known. It's annoying to be friends with a guy who has one night stands from time to time.
"Thanks for giving me a ride Ly."
The mint haired girl smiles. "No prob Derpy, also-"
Right now we are on our way to her house. Thanksgiving was in three days and you could already see everyone with Christmas decorations on the back of their cars. My mind was still hazy from the events of yesterday. The girls sure knew how to make someone not sleep for 24 hours straight.
"Derpy?"
I snap from my thoughts. "Oh sorry Lyra." I scratch the back of my head.
She shakes her head. "Nah, it's okay." She then looks at the radio. "Oh my gosh! Derpy, Razzle Dazzle is up next!" She raises the volume. "Ready?"
I'm not a huge fan of pop music, but the look on her face, is one of those faces that says 'Say no and i'll cry a river and make you feel like you sinned.' "Uhh... Sure!" I smile nervously.
Then the only thing that could be heard was the voice of Lyra's singing-screamo voice and my Cariana Grande voice helping her sing louder. Some people were screaming for her to stop but...
We didn't listen.
I was lying down on her couch, using a pair of short shorts and strap shirt she let me borrow. She comes with a bowl filled with doritos, popcorn, chocolate and cheetos in one hand and a box with disks (probably anime since is the only thing she sees) on the other. Then she sits next to me.
"Food!" I take the bowl from her hands.
"Sometimes I only think you love food more than me." She pouts.
"Ly.." I hug her. "You know I love you too. But food is better."
She puts her right hand on her right side. "That hurt me, You are a very cruel person Oh Derpy!"
I laugh. "Yeah. Also, put the series already." I let her go and she stands up and puts the disk on the blue-ray. She then sits next to me again.
After three or four episodes she speaks. "I think i'm ready."
"Fo waht?" I say with my mouth full of popcorn and chocolate. I swallow.
"I'm going to tell Bon Bon how I feel about her?" She hugs herself. "I can't stand being only friends with her... It hurts." A tear falls from her eye. "I know that mom and dad will probably disown me because of this but..." She looks at me and holds my hand. "You were brave enough to tell Doc how you felt even if you knew that it would be impossible for him to accept you." She smiles sadly. "Vinyl, Octavia, Flash and you are always so brave, fearless, determined. You all never have to prove yourselves that you are amazing because everyone just likes you when they meet you. Bon is so brave and strong." She laughs solemnly. "I am afraid of telling anyone of my obsession with anime and novels, scared of them thinking i'm a freak. Some even get annoyed of me because i'm always energetic or because i'm 'Too happy' for them. I sometimes wish I could be like you instead of being an emotional wreck. I have the most amazing parents any kid would wish but... I don't feel like i'm good enough to be called their daughter." She then starts crying. "How can I be called a good daughter when i'm lying to everyone? Bon-bon, my parents, you guys.. I admit it.. I'm jealous of your relationship with Vinyl and Flash, I'm jealous of Octavia's perfect silky hair, how Flash speaks his mind without any fear or how heart fully kind you are... I'm so sorry-"
I put my arms around her, embracing her into a hug. I pat her hair. "There,there. There's no need for you to feel like that. You're so amazing. The devotion you have for music and anthropology is quite fascinating. Heck, I wish I had your super positive way of view for a second. And all of us love you.. Even Octy can't be mad at you for a minute because you're too cute. Also, Bon-bon is too dense to have noticed your heart eyes around her. Your parents will never disown you. You're the light of their eyes and the light of their day, They will be shocked as hell at first, but then, they will accept you. Just like we did. So-" I beamed at her. "Smile and be as Lyra as you can."
She looks at me and then cries more. I sigh. I have forgotten she was a sucker for emotional talks. I just let her cry on my shirt.
After an hour she stops. "I'm sorry. You're the one with the heartache and i'm not helping you heal at all."
I chuckle. "Don't sweat it. I feel better helping you than weeping like a wet mop." I say, earning a blush from her. "I should stop letting Flash hang out with you. He is turning you into a pervert minded girl."
"I-I didn't think anything!" She said as we heard a knock on the door.
A woman with light green hair adorned with white streaks opens the door. She was wearing a light pink dress and her hair was combed in a bun. "Oh my. You didn't tell me you were having one of your friends over. I should have brought more food for today's dinner."
"Mom, that won't be necessary," Lyra says, trying to reason with her mother but fails.
"No! I can't forgive myself for this. Sweety-" She looks over to me. "Do you like smashed potatoes and chicken breasts?"
"Uhh yeah. Though smashed potatoes taste better with bacon. But you don't-"
She interrupts me. "Then bacon, smashed potatoes and chicken breast it is!" She raises her fist. "I will definitely make a dinner worthy of my little sunshine's friend's taste buds. Or my name is not Star Heartstrings! hahaha!" She laughs, looking like an anime character and leaves.
"Sooo?"
Lyra sighs. "Mom was an actor before retiring. She was always the antagonist." She then stands up. "Let's prepare for dinner. Apparently Mom has gone Actress Commando again."
"Thanks for helping me straighten my hair, Derpy!" I say as I look into a mirror.
The golden haired girl smiled at me. "No need to thank me, you need to look perfect for your confession. You know what they say: A girl must be ready for anything and everything, so I put some leggings on your bag-back just in case your skirt is too short for your liking, along with makeup and chocolate. Can't never go out without it." She said, finishing straightening my hair. "Done!" She then takes out a brush and brushes my hair that now reached just below my bust. "You sure shocked the heck out of your parents. I told you that they would be okay with it, but," And chuckles. "You can't just say something like that out so bluntly."
I blush, remembering what happened yesterday...
Mom, Dad, Derpy, and I were sitting at the in the dinning table. Dad and Derpy were talking about his work and Mom was eating.
"I must say this is my finest creation ever! hohohoho!" She says, putting her hand on her chin laughing.
My Dad, a man no older than thirty, smiles. His orange, messy hair and pale skin is what makes him stand out in his job as a singer in the hotel near the beach. He is always calm, sometimes he is even lost in thought (or in space like Mom always scolds him) but he is a good Dad. "Yeah. Lyra's friend sure knows her stuff. I'm glad my little lyre has nice friends at her side. I was getting scared by thinking that she only had one friend when she is the most sweet little-"
I get up and slam the table. I look at everyone determined. "I'm gay and I like Bon-Bon!"
Everyone drops their spoons. Derpy spits out her juice and glances at me, shocked. Mom and Dad were angry, their cheeks red as fire.
"Lyra-" Mom said, her voice stern.
I close my eyes, waiting for a punch on my face.
But no hit.
"I'm glad you finally are out of the closet, but could you have said it after dinner was over? Saying something so serious out of nowhere is not appropriate. I raised you better than this." Dad said, cleaning the juice Derpy spat from his face and shirt.
I blinked twice. "Y-You knew?"
Mom laughed. "Hahaha! You think that we didn't notice the way you were looking at Dear Bonnny. You don't know how to keep calm on your hormones." She said, picking up her spoon from the floor.
I blush and hide my face on my hands. They knew? Am I so obvious? "Oh my gosh! This is so embarrassing."
Dad chuckles. "You sure are adorable. I'm jealous that you are into girls. A lot of guys are into cute girls."
The rest of the dinner passed with Mom and Dad teasing me and Derpy trying to find her breath again.
"Sorry"
Derpy glares at me. "You owe me a bottle of lemonade and Ice cream from making me spit juice on your Dad's face." Her face was flushed in embarrassment.
I stood up and put on the outfit Derpy choose for me. A white tank top with a matching ribbon on the center, a pencil light orange skirt and cream colored sandals. I was amazed by how pretty I looked.
"Yeah, yeah. You look sexy. I get it." She said rolling her eyes, laughing. "We have to get the gift for her first. then, you can lust over yourself."
I nod. "Okay, let's go!"
With that we went on our way.
I was inside of the HQ with a cute cat plushie (Bon-Bon saw it on a website and always told me she wish someone would gift her it.) heart shaped balloons spread out through the room and I had a guitar in my hands. I tried to remember the lessons Flash gave me a year ago but the notes were awful. After about an hour, I stop.
"Why do I keep trying if I know I'm awful at playing the guitar?" I throw it at the side. "I want to impress Bon-Bon but the cake I tried to cook got burned, I tried knitting a sweater but I only got hurt." I look at my hands, bandages in all of my fingers. "And I can't even dance even if my life depended on it. Who am I kidding? I'm a faliure-" I said, my eyes getting watery.
"What the actual hell is going on? If Vinyl did a 'Vinyl' here i'm going to blow her to smiterings." The curly hair girl glanced at me. "Lyra?"
I wave. "Hey."
She walks toward me, and cleans my tears. "What's all this? "
I look away. I felt ashamed. Everything I had planned just went to the drain.
"Lyra." She holds my face so we are facing. "Tell me. For who is all of this? If the person isn't here I swear i'll make them regret ever being born. No one ditches my best friend and gets away with it without a great pounding." She said, anger on her voice.
"T-this ... This is.."
"For who?"
"Y-You." I said, almost choking on my words.
Bon looked at me, surprised. "W-What?"
"I've wanted to confess my feelings for you for a long time, but I've never had the courage to say it. I had planned to sing a song for you but I can't play the guitar, tried to knit but got hurt on the process and I can't cook by myself without burning the poor dish out." I laugh nervously, the air between us was heavy. "I'm a mess, you don't deserve to be with someone as dumb as me, You deserve an awesome, cool person as your special someone." I was in the verge of tears.
I hear sobs. She was crying. "You sure know how to mess someone up Ly." She looks at me, her eyes were full of sadness. "Look, I can't reply to your feelings. If i'm completely honest... These last few months I have been feeling kinda funny with you. I could be having the crappiest of days, and by just seeing you smile, I could feel all bubbly inside. And I always feel flustered when you hold my hand or hug me too tight, though that explains somethings." Then she sights. "But I have been feeling attraction toward Caramel and some other guy from the soccer team. I'm not sure if i'm lesbian or bisexual so I can't be with you now. If i'm going to be in a serious relationship with you I have to be a hundred percent sure. I hope you can find a girl more secure of her feelings than me."
I hug her. I was happy I confessed. Even if she isn't sure...
I know there's still hope, even if it is a small chance.
"I'll wait for you. I don't care how many years it may take you or how many guys you would have to bed to be sure. I promise I will wait for the day you tell me we can be together, even if I have to wait for you in another life." I say, hugging her and caressing her hair with my fingers.
She starts crying on my shoulder. "Why are you so damn positive? It hurts to say no to you." Then she sobs. "I-I h-hope w-we c-an be toge-ther."
I smile softly. "I know we will." Then I cup her face. "We have hope and love on our side right?"
She nods. "Y-Yeah."
I hug her back, smiling.
"So?"
I glance over to her.
"Can I keep plusheen? Even if I said no?" She says, shyly.
I laugh. "Of course. That's was meant for you... Ya know?" I fake a rancher accent.
We both laugh and stand up.
"You look.." Then she blushes. "Good like that."
I twirl. "Thanks."
I feel something heavy on my shoulders. I glance over my shoulder and see that i'm using Bon-Bon's long leather jacket.
"It's too cold for you to be wearing those clothes. You can give me my jacket on Monday." She said, stretching her arms.
I giggle and hug her. "Thanks Bonny."
She chuckles. "No prob Ly. You sure have a golden heart."
I let her go and run toward the door. "I prefer lyre heart. I do have a sweet heart right?"
She smiles and stands next to me. "Like a sweet melody."
I open the door and close it when Bon Bon gets out.
"Let's go to before anyone notices we've been ditching class." I was about to pick my back pack but she picks it up and holds my hand.
"Just hurry up." She says, dragging me along.
I felt my cheeks redden by her action. I was on cloud nine.
The room was filled with light and cheer. Everybody seemed to be in a carefree, pleasant mood.
"I wonder if it was okay for me to tag along with you," the gorgeous charcoal haired girl said, taking a sip of the warm coffee in her hands.
"Of course, Octy! You always spend the holidays alone and I didn't want to leave you feeling bad," I said with a laugh. "The place sure is crowded; Tick has such a large family. I'm a bit envious."
Octavia smiles. "That make two of us. Also... What happened with Flash? I saw him with the girl that studied in Crystal Prep."
I shrug. "Who knows?"
"Didn't he swear to never-"
"Girls?"
We both turn around and see Tick. He was wearing a long sleeved, green turtle neck shirt and black pants; his ginger hair slightly styled in the 'I just woke up but I’m fabulous' look. Octy's face flushed instantly.
"Hey!" I said, giving him a hug. "Merry Christmas!"
"Are you two enjoying the party? I apologize if it is too loud, my family tends to be like that." He says, blushing.
"N-Not a-t all." Octavia waves her right hand. "I-It’s q-uite a ch-arming at-mos-sph-ere." She then looks away. "I-I'm going to get some air. S-See you later," And runs away.
Tick raised an eyebrow as he watched the girl flee from sight. "What's wrong with her? Did I say something wrong?" He says, titling his head to the left.
I laugh. "Nah. She is just a bit shy around men." Well, not really, but I'm not the one to tattle-tale on her. "Either way I think I should..."
I was about to leave, but...
"Eh?"
I felt a hand grab my arm.
"Could you come with me? I want to show you something." Tick said, looking away.
I blink twice. What is he going to show me? I shrug my shoulders, agreeing to follow anyway. "Oh, sure! Lead the way."
As soon as I said that, he dragged me towards the back door of the house. He opened the door, letting the chilly air seep into the house.
"Can you close your eyes?"
"Why?" I asked. Now, I was starting to get suspicious. I don't trust people when they tell me that. Last time I did, Vinyl and Flash threw a cake at my face. And to make it worse, I was right in front of my crush when they did!
"Trust me. No funny business. It’s just that I want to show you somewhere special and this might help bring the emotion of secrecy."
With his too serious voice it was hard to not laugh. In some way, his attempts to be more expressive were kind of cute. "Okay, okay. I'll do it. " I respond, closing my eyes.
He stood in that place for at least some minutes. I chuckle.
"Can you take this seriously? You're not helping me in any way." If I'm not mistaken, he was pouting.
"Okay, fine." I breathe deeply and stay silent, trying not to laugh. "Let's go before I laugh and regret this."
He sighs loudly. After some minutes he takes my hand and drags me outside.
After ten minutes he stops. If I didn't have my eyes closed I would be appearing confused.
"You can open them now."
I open my eyes. We were in front of a frozen lake. Some trees were decorated with small snowflakes and frozen ice. A swing was hanging from a tree. The light of the sun made everything look like it was glowing, and the ice looked like sparkling lights.
"Wow... It’s so beautiful…" I said, marveled by the view.
Tick nodded. "Yeah. I like to come here when it’s winter just to see this view. It’s quiet and relaxing, and it helps for when I want to get away from my noisy family. I.." He then fidgets his hands. "Wanted to show it to you b-because… I..."
I quickly went to play with the snow, trying to make a snowman. "Golden bells, golden bells. I'll like some chocolate to melt~." I sang while making the snowman.
He looked rather disappointed and... Sad? "Really?"
I go to him. "Come on! It’s Christmas! We should enjoy it and play a bit!"
He looked rather down, even if he is emotion-less.
I pat his head. "After you enjoy some fun in the snow you can tell me what you wanted to tell me." I put my scarf in his hands. "Also, I need help with my snowman." I then resumed building the snowman.
Tick sighs. "I can't say no, can I?"
Then he joins in helping my snowman become a snowman.
"We did it!"
After a snowball fight and chasing some puppies who stole the scarf and hat for about an hour, the snowman was done.
"I told you that we should have made him smaller." He says, crossing his arms.
"But a snowman has to be big! If he isn't then he can't be called a snowman!" I pout.
"Are you three years old?"
I look at him angry and then laugh. He smiles... Wait, he is smiling?!
"You…" I point my finger at him.
"What?" He looks clueless.
"You smile." I say, pointing at his lips.
"Oh yes. People smile when they are happy." He tilts his head to the left. "You didn't know?"
I look mad. "I know! It’s that..." I smile, feeling my cheeks grow warm. "It’s the first time I see you with a real expression. You look handsome. You should smile more."
A blush red as an apple appears at his whole face. "T-thanks? A-Anyhow..." He then stands up. "We should head back. They must be thinking we are doing things that are questionable."
I blink twice. "Like what?"
He glances over at me and walks away muttering 'Nope, Nope, I'm not explaining it'.
"Hey wait!" I get up and chase after him.
I follow him to the backdoor of the kitchen.
"Hey, can you stop?" He stops, I was panting. He sure is fast.
"You sure know how to ruin the mo-" He stops in mid-sentence. "Oh hell no."
I look at him. "What?" I look up and see a mistletoe, along with a group of people watching us like we were some P.P.V show. "Uh… Tick?"
A guy who has dark blue hair shouts, "You can do it, cus!!!"
Then a pink strawberry hair girl says, "Show her what you’re made of!"
I look puzzled. "Tick, you don't have to do this if you don't want to." I was uncomfortable. This was like one of those cliché chick-lit movies.
He whispers, "Who said I didn't want to?"
Before I could say anything or push him away he kisses me. His lips were warm, sweet but...
I didn't feel anything.
No heart beating faster than light. No joy filling my veins. Heck, I didn't even felt lust.
It was just like kissing a doll.
After some moments he pulls away. I look at him. Clueless, confused, angry?
I can't tell…
I look at the crowd and spot a charcoal, elegant haired woman.
"O-Octavia..." I look at her, feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders.
She stays frozen, looking at me. She mutters something on her lips, then smiles the most heart clenching smile. One that could make your heart feel like dying.
"I guess I lost again." She waves. "Thanks for having me. I had a lot of fun…" then goes away running.
"What is wrong with Octavia? " He asks, confused.
I pull away from his grasp. "Life sure is unfair." Then I went outside, looking for Octavia.
I'm such an idiot...
Once outside, I began my search for her. I knew I had to fix things, to tell her I didn't want to do that. That I was sorry.
Is it me, or did this happened before?
I remember.
Every time Octavia liked a guy, he fell for me. Even when I told them I didn't liked them. The cycle repeating itself until I fell for Doc.
Funny, right? I like a guy, he falls for Octavia or Vinyl. Octavia likes a guy, he falls for me.
Is this some sort of cruel joke toward us?
I sigh as I keep looking for her. The snow soon begins to fall harder.
I went everywhere, looking for her.
"I guess she went home," I say, feeling the cold in my bones. "I better leave her alone and explain tomorrow. Let her breathe before I make things worse." Then I turn around.
The fog was thick. Even so, I knew where I was going...
I got home and changed, putting on some short shorts and a strap shirt.
I'm not crazy. It’s that the heater in my home lets me and... I don't like to wear long pants at home and I can't be in my underwear since Flash and Vinyl (or both at the same time) like to arrive like this their own house, and…
I don't want to hear more sexual jokes or to be harassed by them. You make that mistake once in a lifetime.
I sit down on the couch, leaving a tray of the cookies Tick's mother put in my purse (I'm surprised she could fit a two dozen cookies in a small messenger purse) on the nightstand. Then I lie down, feeling like trash.
"The only way my sled can move is with the magic of the people who believe in Santa Clause…"
Half an hour through the movie Yelf and I was lying on my back. My hair-pins are on the floor along with my hair tie, my golden hair hanging lose on my face and sides.
Then I hear a knock.
I get up. "Flaaash! It’s too late for God's sake!" I then went toward the door.
I open the door, shocked at what I see.
"D-Doc?"
He smells like wine and vodka. "D-ditzy?"
I sigh. Great. Just my luck. "Come on in." He gets in and I close the door, locking it since it was late. I don't have to worry; Doc isn't the type of guy to attack a girl.
I sit down on the couch. "The bathroom is upstairs. Or if you want, I can help you out since you seem to be pretty much messed up-"
I feel a weight on top of me. A Doc with a hungry look was looking at me. He was on top of me.
I drag myself through the cold sidewalks of the main shop district. My head is held low while I take a glance at the people around me, feeling extra self-conscious about my lack of friends.
I can't believe she did that!
No, she didn't mean to. Derpy is not that kind of girl.
How can you be so sure, Melody? Is not the first time a similar thing has taken place.
My head is spinning around, anger filling my mind with a twister of pure rage while the memories flow in.
"Octavia?"
"I said shut up, damn it!" I burst, smacking something in front of me.
I open my eyes and see a raven, spiky haired guy in front of me. His shoes seemed to be filled with what I could say it was chocolate hot cocoa with marshmallows, vanilla and a big chocolate chip cookie in the center.
"Oh… I'm so-so sorry Neon… I-I.." I say, biting my thumb in nervousness.
He puts his hands on my shoulders. "Don't sweat it Melody…" He then gives me a cup of the same beverage. "I kinda saw it coming. You can be a bit... Aggressive sometimes. So, I always come prepared." He then takes out a pair of light blue Converse from his backpack. "Done! See? You did me a favor. Now, I can show off my awesome new shoes." He says, posing.
I chuckle weakly. "Let me guess… A fan gave them to you today because she is too lazy to deliver the presents like a normal person." I raise an eyebrow and cross my arms around my chest.
"Ya got that right." He laughs. I just stand there, silent. "Hey don't be so sad." Then cleans a tear from my left eye I didn't even notice with his thumb. "Let's get some food... That will cheer you up." He puts his arm around my shoulder, pulling me close to him.
I nod silently as we go toward a small diner that is near the park. It has some tables outside, but we decide to sit down in an isolated booth. He sits in the chair in front of mine.
"Okay, now that we are here… can you tell me why Miss Melody is so sad on a day of love and cheer?" He looks at me, curious and worried.
"It’s not big deal... I was just emotional regarding the season. You know how Christmas can be." I say, faking a smile while resting my arm on the table.
He looks at me directly in my eyes. I feel my face get red. "I know you are lying, Melody... You might fool everyone acting like you’re indestructible, but I don't buy it. I know you better than that."
I smile sadly. "You sure know how to hit a nerve. Who knew that I’m friends with my best friend's platonic crush."
He blinks twice, confused. "Who?"
"A friend of mine. Her name is Vivianya but prefers to be called Vinyl. She isn't very fond of the name her father gave her. Fan of beats and clubs even if she hasn't been to one in all her life."
He smiles. "Well, then you should totally show me who she is." He then goes serious. "But that's not the point here. You have to rely on others more. Tell me why you snapped at me out of nowhere and if you didn't notice, one more block and you would have been killed by walking through traffic." His eyes were full of fright and concern.
I remember that his parents died when he was in high school, about four years ago. When he was on tour in the Caribbean he got a call saying his parents were injured badly and well... Three hours later... They died.
I'm such an idiot.
"Melody, I want you to be happy. We were raised almost like siblings; I want to help you." He said and sat next to me. "Go on. I promise I won't judge you or anything. We are not in the Melody household… You can let it all out." His voice is low and comforting.
My heart sinks at how sweet he is. It’s funny how can two kids who hated each other grew up and now are almost like siblings or maybe more family than my own flesh and blood.
I don't know how could I live without having him in my life.
"W-Well... E-Every time Ditzy and I like a guy, well-" I say with my voice almost cracking, "they fall for the girl who doesn't like them… T-The cycle has been going on for years a-and when I thought I-I c-ould finally get a boy…" Tears start to fall from my eyes like a waterfall. Hot, skin burning tears. "The boy kisses her! I-I loved him so much." I sound like a little girl. I feel defenseless and pathetic. How can I cry about something so cliché while he has bigger problems that I do?
Suddenly, two warm arms surround my back and i'm pressed against his chest. "Shhhh… It’s okay, Melody. Let your Winter out. It’s going to be okay."
I look shocked. He is willing to hear me out?
Then I guess I'll do it.
"It’s not fair! I should be the girl he likes! I love him! Derpy doesn't care about him like I do! Is not fair! Why does everyone expect me to be the grown up and just ignore my feelings?! I can't do this by myself!" I say, yelling and crying against his chest.
He just stands there and caresses my hair gently. "There there… keep letting it out. String is here."
I look at him. "Y-You remember?"
"Yeah. That's why I call you Melody. I think it fits you. A strong but relaxing melody, like a mix of spring and fall. You used to call me string because I was an emotional-fragile boy. 'You have to think before acting dumb string!’" He made an emphasis on the phrase.
I feel my cheeks red. "That was so lame on my behalf."
He laughs. "No you were right. I was too quick for anger. Thanks to me having to take care of you I was able to grow up so-" Then he beams at me. "Thank you, Melody."
I stay frozen for some minutes but then I smile back. "No problem… Dumb string."
We both laugh at each other for a while.
"May I take your order?" A waitress with brown short hair and petite height asked us. "Oh my God..." She then fangirls. "You’re Neon Lights... THE Neon Lights!" She was trying her best to not lose her posture but was losing.
He smiles. "Yeah it is I... Neon Lights the third." He then winks at her.
After that I just watch as both of them keep talking. I was feeling good. The pain was there, but…
It’s nice to have someone to lean on.
Maybe, just maybe...
This Wintery Cello will one day stop playing sheets of cold, heart-sinking melodies…
"So that would be smashed potatoes, fried chicken and for dessert all of the sweet's menu." She writes down and glances at me. "And you?"
And play the songs of heartwarming, lovely melodies.
I didn't know if I had to be happy for this or scared. I can't escape his grasp on me. He was holding my hands so I can't punch or push him. His hips are surrounding me, so kicking is out of the question.
"Doc... There now.. L-Let's not be hasty." I look around, I remember my phone was on the kitchen so a call won't save me. "Don't do something you might r-regret." I was nervous, trying to make myself look as serious as I could.
I never thought something like this was even possible to happen. This seems a scene from those anime and fan fictions Lyra watches and reads all the time. The scene the male protagonist is on a controversial situation with the female lead and both of them are in love and stuff...
They, mostly, end up in...
Oh golly.
His eyes were fixed on mine. His usual blue orbs had a navy blue color rather than their normal blue glow. In them I could see something, something I have never seen. A hint of devilish intentions, maybe?
I couldn't think straight.
He laughed; his voice had the darkest of tones. "Regret? Oh dear Derpy, you are deeply mistaking! " I feel his right hand leaving mine and travelling all over my body until it landed on the side of my waist. The trail where his hand passed felt like they were on fire. "If anything-" With his left hand, he touched my long golden hair, caressing it with his fingers. "I have never been more sober in my entire life." He then leaned closer until our mouths were inches away from each other. "You really are beautiful. Your golden long hair-" He kissed my cheeks, my cheeks burning warm. "Your porcelain skin, so soft and elegant-" Leaving a trail of kisses on my neck until it reached my chest. "How your body is the definition of perfection in any way seen, I bet Aphrodite must be jealous in the heavens by you." He then looked at me, a wicked grin on his lips as he leaned again, his hot breath touching my face. "You are so tempting that it should be a sin. A sin I would be more than happy to commit."
Without any warning more than that sentence his lips collided against me. I felt my heart skip beats. I had to stop him. I really have to but...
I have always dream of this moment for a long time. Having him in top of me, touching me so carefully yet so seductive, leaving my body trembling at his mere touch. His soft and luscious lips on mine, demanding dominance. Having total control of me...
Oh god, if you're there looking at me...
Help me get him off or forgive what I'm about to do.
After some minutes I give him permission to enter my mouth. As fast I let him through he claimed his dominance in me, making a moan to escape my mouth. I close my eyes shut, feeling my entire body heat up despite the sounds of the wind and rain outside telling me i'ts freaking Winter.
I was able to kiss him back. My first attempts were quite clumsy, but after some tries, I was able to keep up with him. My whole body started to relax. For the first time in a long time I let my guard down entirely. I couldn't think straight. My mind starting to blind almost entirely. His left hand travelling all the way down my lower back, it didn't help that I was barely using clothes today other than a strap short shirt and a short that made the pants that female dancers used in music videos look decent.
I wasn't expecting any visits and I have to admit...
I'm glad I decided to use them.
Moans escaped my mouth as he kept touching me and trying to get me closer to me. Our bodies clashing against each other, trying to get as close as our clothes lets us.
After minutes that felt like seconds he pulled away. I was disappointed, my breathing heavy. I opened my eyes kept staring back at his sapphire eyes like I was under a spell.
We were locked on each other's gazes for what it seemed like an eternity until he decided to talk.
"I'm sorry for how I treated you back at my office. I was shocked. I didn't thought you were going to go to those extremes." He takes a deep breath. "I kinda had a feeling you might have a thing for me but I regarded it as a simple crush or maybe having mixed emotions toward me since you have a bad history with people and more with males. I have to admit... When I saw you with the Tick Tock fellow I was filled with rage. If I didn't knew better, I would've broke a table on his face and beat him to a pulp." He then laughs ironically. "Guess I'm not really mature as I thought. After I heard you took some projects to make up for the finals I saw what I have done. If I wouldn't had back lashed at you, you wouldn't have beat Rainbow like a wild beast in a lust for blood. I was worried sick about you and started to drink to avoid my thoughts but all that wasn't enough. Thanks to that alcohol on my body, I was able to get the courage to get here. Passed through the security of private community like nothing, the FBI or any spy agency should hire me." He chuckled. "I thought you would have family over but you're alone. Which made it even more tempting to act without thinking. Heh, Maybe that's why the drunk people word's are honesty at it's finest, we get the courage we never have in a daily basis." He kept laughing hysterical, like everything he did was a big soap opera.
I used that opportunity to push him away softly and lie down on top of him. He was taken back by my sudden action. I smiled and hold him, "I'm mad, I am, but-" I feel a weight get off my arms. "I feel glad you told me how you feel. I'm glad that you like me back and that I was actually in your mind." I feel my eyes getting glossy. "I'm..." Tears fall from my eyes like a waterfall. "Happy."
I keep crying until he picked me up, sat down and sat me on his lap. With his hand, cleaning my tears. "Hey you shouldn't cry. I'ts-" He looks at his watch; which I didn't even knew he was wearing one until now. "Christmas! I bet Santa must have left you a present under the tree." He seemed to be super happy.
I laugh. "Doc, Santa doesn't exist..." I kept laughing.
"If that isn't true then..." He puts his arms at my back and then he gives me a medium sized red velvet box. I open it.
Inside it was a jewel in form of an hourglass. Crusted in gold and had diamond dust inside along with a small but noticeable red and pink heart inside it. The chain was made of silver that sparkled by the light of the TV. "W-Wo-"
"Can I?" I let him take the necklace and he stands up and gets behind me, putting the necklace on me. "It doesn't matter how long time passes or how different our hearts are from one and another. We will always be tied up by the silvery sands of destiny forever." He then finishes and gives me a peck on my lips.
"I love you Ditzy. Let's enjoy this night before the clock strucks to announce the dawn of a new day." He grins at me.
I couldn't help but smile and I glomp on him, falling in top of him and kiss him deeply. Our tounges uniting in a strong bond. After some minutes I let him go and giggle.
"Sounds nice to me."
Then we began to enjoy the rest of the night together. For the first time I actually believed on the magic of the holidays.
I walk through the halls of Canterlot High, my headphones blasting at a volume that everyone could hear my music like my headphones were a speaker.
After arriving at my locker, I lower the volume so I could focus on opening it.
"3-5-6..." I say while I twist the lock to open the metallic compartment.
"Oh, is it true?" A voice from behind me asked.
"Yeah man. What a shame." Another one answered.
"I was thinking of asking her to prom, but if that's the case, thanks for letting me know."
I glance over my shoulder and see a group of guys looking at me, their eyes full of disbelief and laughter. My teeth clench in anger.
It doesn't matter how much I say it, there's some people who will still...
I feel my phone vibrate in the pocket of my hoodie and I take it out. It was a text from Flash
'Morning Vi-vi. I'm happy for all those text you sent me yesterday and for helping me out last week. I don't know what I would do without ya. Have a good day today sweetie.~ Flash
I feel a smile creep its way to my lips as well as a blush to my cheeks. Leave it to Nice Guitar to make your day, as always.
"Vinyl!"
"Heya, Bon. What's up?" I ask the tall girl who just appeared.
She sighs. "It happened again didn't it Vi?"
I wave my hand dismissively. "Don't worry Bon. I'll be fine." I reply to Flash while I talk to Bon-Bon. "I'm already used to it. I bet it won't be the last time this will happen so I might as well ignore it."
"Even so-" She glares at the guys with her famous Bon-death glare, causing them to run away in fright. "You don't deserve to be treated like that, Vinyl. You aren't a lesbian, so is wrong for people to say you are when you haven't shown any attraction toward other girls and because Sunset Bitcher said so." She then crosses her arms around her chest. "I thought everyone forgot what she did, but somethings never change, don't they?"
I clutch the phone to my chest. "I guess you're right."
Somethings never change even if we wish they could...
I laugh while texting.
I'm sitting in a bench near the track, my sides hurting from laugther.
He always makes me laugh.
I guess I never actually said why I'm so attached to Flash, haven't I?
That's a long story.
To be honest...
I have a crush-
No.
I love him.
Ever since Elementary School I have.
"Hahahaha, that will show you to never try to stand up to me. Now do me a favor and leave!"
I watch the girl with light mint hair leave with some other girls, taking away my headphones. Ones that my dad brought me before he divorced my mom.
"G-Give it back." I try to stand up, but after all those kicks they gave me I barely even felt my legs. "M-My Dad gave me those. They are mine!" I charge at her with a shaking fist.
One of those girls put her foot out, causing me to trip and face-plant on the ground of the school yard. I was so foolish to think I stood a chance with those girls. I was thin and weak, always getting sick and being hospitalized.
How stupid I was.
"Oh well girls. Little blue birdy thinks she can beat us, all weak and hurt." She laughs and signals the other two girls. "Make her pay for dusting my skirt. I bet is worth more than anything you have in your whole body." A devil like grin appeared on her lips as she glared at me.
I was cornered, my legs were bruised and I didn't have any adrenaline left to fight them head on again. I close my eyes shut, waiting for the worst.
But nothing happened.
I open them and see a golden-haired girl beat up those girls like some sort of anime scene. Then a boy who looked older than me, sapphire color hair came toward me, offering his hand. I shrieked in terror.
"P-Please don't hurt me. " I say, covering myself with my limp white arms.
The boy takes a deep breath. "I guess I have no other choice."
I feel someone take me by my waist, and the next thing I know I was being carried princess-like by him.
"P-Put me down!!" I try to struggle but both of my legs were too weak and my hands weren't good enough to land a punch on him.
He refuses my orders and runs away toward the infirmary. Once we arrived he laid me down on one of the beds, getting a wet towel and cleaning the dirt from my arms and legs.
"W-Why are you doing this?" I asked him, why would that blonde hair girl and him save someone who they didn't even know?
He just smiled. "Cause we can. Now stay still, this might sting." He then proceeds to clean the bruised I had from the kicks and falling. I feel tears falling from my eyes from the pain. "There. Now I should go to fetch the teacher, I'll be back." he says before leaving.
After an hour he comes back with the teacher and the blonde girl from before. She was sweating and had dirt on her once white clothes.
"Oh Vinyllia." The teach came toward me, concerned. "I should had noticed. I'll call the parents of those girls and get them expelled immediately. For what this two told me, is not the first time, right?" I nod weakly. "I will talk to the principal about this and-" She then looks at the blond girl. "You will have detention for fighting those girls. I know you were trying to help, but violence isn't the answer." She then goes, leaving me alone with them. The girl sticking out her tongue at the teacher as she left.
"Bleh! If it weren't fro me and Flash, you would have been hurt badly. Oh, that reminds me-" She extends her hand and gives me back my headphone who were now a bit beat down. "This is yours, right? Sorry if its busted. Those three bitches were giving one heck of a fight."
I take them and start crying. "T-Thank you. T-This w-as a g-gift from my pa-pa-"
She scoffs. "You shouldn't cry. Everything is okay a-and. " She pouts. "I don't like my friends acting like crybabies when i'm around."
I look at Flash. "F-Friends?"
He nods. "Yeah. Don't listen to Ditz. She was really worried there but is too dumb to admit it."
She glares. "I'm not, you flea brain!"
She keeps arguing with him. I glance at the headphones in my hands and smile.
"Okay. I'm Vinyllia Scratch. Its a pleasure to meet you."
The girl looks seriously at me. "I'm Ditzy Doo. I'll be going now to detention before the teach keeps being a pain in the butt. Don't get into more trouble." She then leaves.
He pats my head. "What she meant is that she would like to see you later and that she is happy to meet ya." He then shakes my hand. "I'm Flash Sentry, Its nice to meet you Vinyllia."
I smile and shake his hand. "Call me Vinyl."
Ever since then, Derpy, Flash and I have been inseparable. We always hang out in each other's houses, and since Derpy's Dad is never around, we could do as we wished and even prank the neighbors and make a run for it. Flash was always so nice to us... To me.
Heat rushes to my cheeks as I hold the phone close to me and smile. "I don't know what I would do without you guys." I then get up and go to our hideout.
During school, Derpy and I are the only ones in the same homeroom, and since the other girls feared I would 'Hit on them' and the guys are awkward around me, my only friend on the classroom was her. Now that she is temporally on mental vacation and the other girls are at class, i'm by myself till lunch hour.
But I don't mind. I can text Flash instead.
I arrive at my destination and close the door once i'm there. I lie down on the couch there and close my eyes.
My brain is getting ready to go into Fantasy World as I put on my headphones and play a song on my phone. I have never told anyone, but i'm a sucker for techno love songs and have more than two gygabites of them stored on my phone. My arms behind my head, my thoughts and the music turn into one, making a perfect scene out of a music video.
"I just want to tell you this one little thing as my heart is burning inside. The thoughts of you and I are running through my mind every moment. " I sing mentally or out loud as the beat hits my ears. "I'm crazy in love, I can't help this feeling. Your eyes, the way you move is turning me mad. How long will I have to wait till you're mine~" I keep singing as I imagine.
A dance floor where everyone made way for me and him, my clothes being as awesome and sexy as they can be. He was wearing a leather jacket with a dark red shirt complementing my clothes as he grabs my hand. We both spin and dance like there's no tomorrow. His flirty gaze on me while he sings the male part of the song.
"I see how you move on the dance floor. You're everything I dream of. The way your hips move giving me an electric shock all over me, you know how much control ya got over my heart babe." He whispers on my ear while we dance, his hands on my hips as he sways side to side like me.
"Vinyl?"
We dance as the beat drops. I bet that if this were a cartoon I would have hearts coming out of me.
"Vinyl!"
I feel someone taking off my headphones with force. I glare instantly.
"What the hell?!"
Octavia glares at me. "I have been calling you for almost twenty minutes Vinyl. But I see that your in fact not busy, but just listening to music with a weird smile."
I smirk. "Is called the love face. Like the one you make when we saw Tic on the diner near the arcade."
Her glare disappears and looks away from me. Her sudden silence surprised me and I stood up.
"Octy, what's going on?" I get close to her and see her eyes brimming with tears.
She clenches her teeth. "Have you ever felt like you're not good enough? Like you're just a statue in front of a castle. No one pays a second glance at you and goes straight ahead? Well that's how I feel!" She then shouts with her fists clenched.
I instantly hug her and pat her back. "Okay. No need for you to go into fighting today. Try to calm down." I knew it would be useless and waited for her to vent her anger.
"I always lose to Derpy. She doesn't have to do anything to be loved by everyone. I take extracurricular classes to make up for my bad grades in some classes, practice hard to act like a proper lady, I take hours just to look presentable and she gets it all just because she looks cute?"
I keep patting her back. She had to let it all out.
"Because of her goddamn eyes?!" She yells as loud as her lungs let her. I just stay silent until she stops screaming incoherent things.
"Better?"
She nods. "Yeah. I-I didn't mean to think so awfully about Derpy. She is my friend. Why do I feel like this?" She looks at her hands in panic.
A sigh escapes my mouth. "Because you're a human."
Octavia glances at me, confused.
"Life is a bitch. She is unfair and a big asshole to some and a cute bitch to others." I look at my headphones and phone. "Some have to work hard while the others just have advantage because of their talent or where they live. It hurts to see how the table isn't the same and-" I put the objects on my hand on the table. "It makes us angry. To be jealous and angry is a part that make us human, and its okay to feel like that, but-" I take my headphones and phone back and walk to her. "We have to understand that we shouldn't deny those feelings or else we won't be able to go on and heal." I smile at her. "Know what? Let's put on some songs about heartbreak and sing it out loud to send dem assholes to fuck themselves?"
The raven-haired girl hesitated to take my phone, but after I nod in reassurance she takes it. "Sounds fine by me, but I'll be the one choosing the songs."
The next two or three hours passed by with both of us singing like mad women not caring to nail the lower or high keys. Just sang to vent our feelings away.
I didn't asked her what had happened.
If she's anything like me.
Is best not to.
I was on my way home walking. My car was on the mechanic since I blew up the stereo with my sick beats and it would take about a month to fix since the stereo I brought takes time to be made. Having special stuff can be a pain.
After some minutes, a familiar blue mustang parked next to me and a quite hot guy got off from it.
"Hey Vinyl, need a ride? I remembered your car got messed up, and since I'm here, well why not help a friend out?" Flash says leaning against the car.
A friend...
"Sure even if I would prefer being the ride of a cute blue spiky-haired rock star." I smirk, making him laugh.
"Just get in, Vinyllia Scratch."
"You know what else is vanilla?" I say and get inside the car as well as him.
I was on Flash's house, or like I call it: Husband's house.
"You're too far." I complain to him.
"Vinyl, for the 58th time this night, I won't let you sit on my lap. You're the embodiment Not Safe For Work." He keeps looking at the TV, not paying attention to me.
As my own annoyance grew I went to him and sat on his lap.
"Okay Vinyl, you're taking it too far, I said-"
I cut him off with a kiss.
I felt like I was tasting the richest of ice creams. I passed my hands on his hair all the way down to take off his shirt. In that moment, I felt I was in paradise. Nothing else mattered but what I was feeling. Excitement, a burning flame in the deepest of my being making me keep going without any other care or giving any thought about anything else. I just wanted him... No.
Needed him.
But it didn't go far.
He pushes me off him and to the side. "What the hell was that?! Vinyl, I always tolerate your jokes and behavior, but you're taking things too far."
"This isn't a joke." I sit on his lap again. "I need you. You make me feel happy and secure. I just-" I kiss him again, this time showing dominance.
He didn't hesitate, probably knowing that I wouldn't let him off no matter his actions.
Things started to escalate. The flame inside me growing bigger and bigger every second that passed by. I took off his shirt and laid him down on the couch.
I broke off the kiss.
"Vinyl. Stop this. I don't want to hurt you. This is not you. This isn't love." He says, looking at me concerned.
"If you don't want to hurt me then stay still.." I took off my shirt as I kissed his neck. Then started to unzip his pants.
I then I stared at his eyes.
His sapphire like eyes were not longer glowing. The light that gave me warmth was no longer there.
I could see myself reflected on them.
"Vinyllia! I told you not to get inside my room without knocking!"
I was turning into the monster I hated.
"Flash.."
I start to tremble in fear, not of him.
But myself.
"T-Twilight..." He says with a croaked voice
What have I done?
The girl remember being just a sweet girl who didn't mean anything bad looked at the scene before her in disbelief.
"Mom what are you doing? Why is he here? What about Dad?"
I got up from him, taking my shirt from the arm rest of the couch and ran out of the place.
What have I done?
I didn't mean it.
No, I did mean it.
Just like a broken record.
I rewind the same thing my mom did to my dad.
Unfaithful to my own beliefs and promises.
I keep running until I somehow reach my place. A old man no older than thirty greets me, concerned.
"Sweetie where have you been? You never called me to pick you up." He looks at me. "Why are you without your shirt? Vi-"
I hugged him, crying like a baby while at it. "I'm sorry Dad. I-I did something bad."
He hugged me back. "Is alright baby girl. Lets get inside and get you dressed properly, we don't want you getting a cold, don't we?" He then lets me go and goes inside the small apartment. "I'll make you some pizza bread and get you warm blankets while you bathe."
"Thanks Dad." I reply as he goes to the kitchen.
I stay still for a moment.
"We are the same, aren't we Mother? We hurt the people we love out of our own selfish desires."
Then I enter my home, fully aware of my actions...
Just slept next to each other after having fun on the streets of the Crystal City all day.
I forgot to tell you didn’t I?
I’m sorry, I have just been so zoned out I can barely remember the days.
After we spent Christmas at my home, Doc and I decided we should spent the rest of the winter break together. Since we didn’t want to risk getting caught by someone, we went to Crystal City for New Year and decided to stay a little longer.
The sight of the old castle who was rumored to be the holder of lots of power, amazing restaurants that somehow Doctor was able to afford, and...
I squeal in delight.
Getting a room in the most amazing hotel I have seen. The floors in a marble like material and many amazing paintings. The reception got us a couple room, cozy with white and red satin sheets, floral decorations almost everywhere which got him to sneeze a lot. Luckily I was able to throw them away and get some tissues.
Couple, Us, our...
“Seems someone is up early.”A husky voice wakes me up from my fangirling state.
“O-Oh good-morning Doctor. I was just thinking that’s all.” I try getting out of the bed but he stops me. “Is getting late, we should be getting some breakfast before the restaurant’s buffet loses their best muffins.”
“But i’m comfortable here and is so cold outside.” He rests his head on my shoulder. "
“Didn’t you grew up in England?” I ask raising an eyebrow.
He lets me go and stands up, looking for a shirt. “Well you could say that. I was born in Canterlot and lived there until the first year of middle school.” After finding what he was looking for he put it on. Let me tell you, he looks so cute with a long sleeves shirt. I want to take a picture! “I wonder why don’t you remember the storm.”
I tilt my head to my right. “Storm?” I don’t remember ever meeting him before getting to Canterlot High. I try to not dwell too much on the past... Is too painful.
“Putting that aside, have you been able to contact your friends?” He sits next to me.
I take my phone from the night stands next to the bed. “No. They don’t answer my texts or my calls.” My mind went overdrive. Vinyl, Flash, Bon and Lyra always answer texts and calls. It has been almost two weeks and I have zero replies of any of them or saw any activity from them in any social media. Vinyl is usually very active since she has a small group of fans of her music and Lyra like to post lots of status of the anime or manga she reads. Did something bad happened while I was gone? No that can’t be it. They would totally tell me if they are feeling bad. I know them. “But I bet that they have been busy with their families. The holidays are quite exhausting.” But Flash would be able to answer if that’s the case. No Derpy! Stop thinking.
Doc was able to notice my worry and hugged me. “Is okay. They will answer soon or when you’re back at school you can always demand an explanation.” Doc then looked at me playing with my long golden hair. “Now lets just enjoy the rest of our stay here.”
He is right. I have to stop worrying so much. They will be fine.
Everything is fine now.
I unpacked my things back to my drawers. After Doc drove me back home (And kissed me) I took a long bath and took care of some things around my house. I do live alone after all so everything about the house is my responsibility.
While cleaning, I found a portrait. Is dusty.
“Here we go.” I took it and passed a towel, cleaning the dust and dirt it had accumulated. “Good as new.”
It was a picture of me and Octavia from middle-school. On that time my hair barely passed my shoulders and Octavia had her perfect ponytail (Not sure how she kept her hair tidy even when it was hot) on a field trip to Crystal Theatre. We even had messy blue eye-shadow on with that basic red lipstick that made us look like old woman.
”I guess I lost again.” She waves. “Thanks for having me. I had a lot of fun…”
All the emotions I had locked up open wide like a tornado. My eyes grew watery.
“I had forgotten of her. How could I be so selfish?” I said frustrated.. I have been so caught up having the time of my life I forgot entirely of everything going on.
I put away the portrait and kept cleaning, mail as usual was bills, suscribtions from the culinary magnazines I follow and my phone bill.
With discomfort I left a mesage to dad on the phone so he would pay the bills as I did every month. Onlty time he will actually answer.
“I should cook something.” I said and got back to business.
I made some chicken with Chinese rice. A lot so I could focus on the next days on cleaning the rest of the house.
“Why did he got a two floor house if is only the two of us? Is only a strain for me who has to clean. I can’t even throw parties since the control access makes it a pain to get in.”I said sitting in the couch while eating, Gurdon Rumsay playing in the background (cursing and screaming). My eyelids getting heavy each second it passed. My last memory being.
The sound of someone calling me.
Classes started quicker than I thought. It felt like just yesterday Doctor came to my place for dinner.
”Youre so very talented! What the economics teacher said was right. You were made for culinary arts.” He said while he picked seconds.
“Thanks Doc. When you told me you would drop by today I got so excited I gave it my all. " I said smiling, a small blush on my cheeks.
He put the plate on the small living room table (We had decided to eat there so we could watch TV and the table is too big for the both of us) and then sat closer to me. “When we are alone, you can call me Turner. There’s nothing to be scared of if we are alone.” He holds my hand and kissed it. “So let’s just enjoy this time before we get back to our daily routines.”
I nod, feeling even more nervous and flustered than before. “Yeah. W-We should.” I then look at the screen. A soap novel playing. “So what will we do?”
He stayed quiet for some seconds but replied. “We’ll I was thinking that-” His voice was cut off by the sudden announcement.
“You guessed it! The wonderland festival is gonna be held at the end of January! I hope you all stay tuned for the official date of the opening day!” The announcement played loud music. I couldn’t hear a word Doc said.
Once it was done I glanced at him. “What did you say? I couldn’t hear you over the ad.”
He stared at me, opened his mouth twice. Almost trying to push out words but none came. “I said that we should go to the festival if we get a chance.” He then smiled at me.
Somehow, I felt something was off but.
“Sure! You can count me in!” I giggled and clinged close to him for the rest of the evening.
Deep in my mind I felt a urge to ask what he was saying more seriously. My heart however had another plans and said...
“Ill look forward to it.” I said kissing him. His hands quickly holding mine as we melted in each other’s lips.
That I shouldn’t worry at all.
On math class I never say Vinyl. Sure she hated the class but she wasn’t someone who would ditch class. Less without telling me beforehand so I could give her the notes.
“This is odd. No message on the group chat, no social media update. Heck not even a picture of cute anime characters from Lyra.” I said looking through my phone for the 9000th time.
I was so caught up with my thoughts I crashed against someone.
Not now please!
“Sorry.” I said quickly helping picking the fallen books.
“Hello Derpy. Is been a while.”
It was Octavia.
I quickly hugged her. I felt I would explode. I had so much to tell her. What happened after the party, about me and Doc, on how I am worried of no one answering my messages and calls. I don’t know where to start. “We should chat over some sandwiches and tea. My treat.” She said, her voice as soothing as I remember.
“Lead the way Tavy!” I said trying to impersonate Vinyl, taking off my hair tie and trying to make a rocker hand sign.
She chuckles lowly and then we walked off. Her stance felt different somehow. Even the way she talked to others who got near her changed, of that’s how I saw it.
It gave me the chills. Why do I feel this way?
No, I’m just imagining things.
“So all that happened?” Octavia said as she took a sip of her green tea.
“Yeah. I can’t even grasp it myself.” I blush and play with the spoon on my cup. I told her everything that happened.
Leaving zero details.
“So, what will you do now? School started and he will be busy. As well as many faculty and student body will be around the city.” She rested her hand on one of her hands.
I sigh. “I haven’t been able to talk of it. Is that it has been so amazing to be spending time together, I forget all about it.”
She whispers. " Alors c’est comme ça? "
I look puzzled. “What did you say?” Why did she talked in another language all the sudden?
“Oh sorry. I just have to practice my french. Taking new courses to polish it since it has been so long.” She then looks at her phone. “Is late, recess is almost over. We should head to class or we will get in trouble.” Standing up, she picks her tray. “It has been nice to catch up. We should try to meet up later. Goodbye.”
I wave. “Goodbye too?” I say as she quickly leaves.
I got a bad feeling about all this. I haven’t heard of Tick, Vinyl, Flash, Lyra nor Bon Bon and now Octavia is acting off?
Just what the hay happened?!
I shake the feeling away. My heart telling me one thing.
Just relax Derpy. You’re just stressed. This isn’t a declaration of a possible war.
