> Broken headphones > by JuanNexus13 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Fifth day before Summer break > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Five days before Summer break ** Sunny flare was happy not only for the summer vacation that was in a week, but to spend another day with her best friend, Lemon Zest. Lemon hasn't been active with her recently, she was sad. She looked at her skateboard and got a flashback of her first meeting with Lemon. Since she was little, sunny flare always wanted to learn how to ride a skateboard but she was to shy to ask her parents to buy one, she also tough that their parents would say something like..."Skateboards are for boys, not for intelligent girls". She only watched people skating while sitting on a bench. Sunny Flare didn't have friends, she was always in her home doing homework, the same routine. One day, a girl with green hair and headphones stopped in front of her doing an awesome skate trick leaving Sunny Flare stunned. "Hi! My name is Lemon Zest. What's yours?" Lemon Zest smiled, holding her hand forward waiting for a big high five. "S...Su...Sunny Flare..." Sunny Flare answered shyly, she lifted her hand touching Lemon's hand. Suddenly, Lemon grabbed Sunny's hand and pulled her closer, one arm of each on their chests and Lemon's second arm around Sunny. Sunny was blushing hard, very hard, she could smell Lemon's perfume and fell her own heart beat like crazy. "Hi Sunny! Nice to meet you." Lemon Zest said, tapping Sunny's back. "I noticed that you always come here but you seem to be really sad, is there a problem?" Said Lemon Zest with a sad face. "..." Sunny trembled. "Hey don't worry, i'm not going to hurt you." Lemon Zest said, giving her a tap on the shoulder. "I...i just like skating, ...but I don't have one..." Said Sunny Flare, dropping slowly her head."I want to learn how..." "I can help you if you want." Said Lemon Zest, letting Sunny go and dropping her skateboard. "It's easy to learn how to ride a skateboard, come here and take my hand."Said Lemon. "I'm not sure..." said Sunny Flare. "Come on, if I can do it then you can too." Lemon said while putting her headphones on and taking the skateboard to go skating around the park. She made awesome tricks like flip rotations, standing on the bench with her hand and grinding it. Sunny was mouth open, she admired Lemon, her green hair flowing around her face while she did awesome skateboard tricks. "Waouh...How does she do all those skating tricks in seconds?" Thinked Sunny. "Awesome huh?" Lemon grinned. "You were awesome!" Shouted Sunny. "I know, want to try?" Asked Lemon. "Ok!" Sunny was confident, Lemon said that she could do it too. "That's the spirit! Come here!" Said Lemon Zest's as she helped Sunny getting on the skateboard. "Now, don't let go of my hand okay? I'm going to run slowly around the park and you're gonna try to control the skateboard movements ok? Don't worry, if you're scared or something just tell me ok? Asked Lemon. "No problem." Sunny Flare answered. She trusted Lemon Zest. Lemon Zest started running around the park holding Sunny's hand. Sunny was shaking. She tried to move every single part of the skateboard and slowly started to control it. "There you go, that wasn't hard was it?" Said Lemon Zest. "No, it's very simple in fact." Sunny answered. "Now, I'm gonna let you go and you will start to skate by yourself ok?" Asked Lemon. "But what will happen if i fall or hit a wall, i'm gonna be hurt!" Said Sunny has started to hug Lemon's arm. "Don't worry." Said Lemon Zest as she gently caressed Sunny's hair, making her blush."I'll be behind you ready to help you if you do something wrong." Hours passed, the two girls were still practicing. Sunny was so happy, she learned how to ride a skateboard. She wanted to learn more. She turned to Lemon Zest who was staring around the park "I think it's time to go home, our parents should be worried " Said Lemon Zest. "Oh... already?" Said Sunny Flare with a sad face. After weeks of waiting, boring days and hours of practice, skateboarding with Lemon Zest felled like just only a 5 minutes school break. She was so disappointed. Suddenly she fell of the skateboard, realizing that she was still on it. Lemon Zest reacted like a professional and grabbed her before she hit the ground. "Pfiou, that was close." Said Lemon Zest."I told you, i'm ready to help you." Said Lemon with a smile. Sunny's checks were red and her heart was beating like crazy, what was this feeling? Lemon only saved her from falling, she found her hair pretty, Lemon was very nice to her but she didn't understand this feeling, so she tried to not think about it. Sunny then put a sad face has she remembered that it was late. She looked at Sunny and noticed that she was a little sad, then she got and idea. "Hey, here. This is for you." Lemon Zest said. Handling her skateboard. "For me?!" Said Sunny Flare. Taking the skateboard with her two hands. "Yup, now you can skateboard where you want and if you need skateboard lessons I will be happy to help you." Said Lemon Zest putting her hand on Sunny's shoulder. Without thinking, Sunny hugged Lemon as she cried. Making also Sunny's heartbeat increase. "Thank you, thank you thank you thank you thank you!" Said Sunny Flare." But...why?" Asked Sunny. Looking at Lemon Zest's eyes. She found them like the prettiest thing she saw in her entire life. "Because we're friends right?" Said Lemon grinning. "Friends?" Sunny's eyes lifted up. "Yup, well i gotta go bye!" Said Lemon Zest as she walked back to her home leaving Sunny Flare and her new skateboard. "Friends..." Said Sunny has she looked at her new skateboard. This was definitely the best day of her life. Sunny Flare was getting ready for school, she packed up her books, attached her technologic bracelets and ate breakfast. She took her skateboard has she headed of to school. "I wonder what Lemon Zest will do this afternoon?"thought Sunny."I hope that she we could go to Spaceland and play some arcade games, it could be a great idea." Hoped Sunny. Lemon didn't spend time with her since a month. She didn't understand why. After a few minutes she arrived at school. She putted her skateboard in her locker and started looking for Lemon. It was easy to found her, she always waited her in the class room. It was the right thing to do since Lemon Zest was almost late every day in school because she stayed up every night playing PS4, Sunny couldn't blame her, she also played with her every night. But recently she hasn't​ played with her either. She found her class and entered looking around the class to find Lemon. Surprised, Lemon wasn't inside, that made Sunny's head to go on crazy mode. "Maybe she is sick? Did she forgot to put the alarm? Did she forget that she had school today?" Sunny thinked, making her brain overheat with such possibilities. Suddenly, she heard giggles from the class door, recognizing the voice from the girls she sighed in relief, it's was Lemon Zest and Sour Sweet. She waved her hand to Sour Sweet and then gave a big hug to Lemon. Lemon only tapped her back with one hand. Sour Sweet look at Sunny and smiled. "Hey Lemon! How you doing dearie?" Asked Sunny with a big smile. "I'm good, I was talking with Sour Sweet when she reminded me a joke I heard." Said Lemon Zest while putting an arm around Sour. Sunny could swear that flammes were inside of her chest. "Hey! After school you want to go to Spaceland? We could play arcade games in the Astrocade." Proposed Sunny. "Actually..." Lemon rubbed the back of her head." I can't go." That made Sunny's heart break."Why?!" Said Sunny Flare with a sad face taking Lemon's shoulders. "She's going shopping with me, I need new clothes for Rarity's special summer song." Said Sour Sweet. Leaving Sunny Flare stunned. "Were gonna also do other things like drink milkshakes, look at the videogames store and watch a movie." Said Lemon. "Why can't you ask Indigo to help you instead?! She's stronger so she can carry more things for you!" Said Sunny trying to calm her voice down. "Indigo's busy with the Shadowbolts football team." Said Sour Sweet with a grin. She loved seeing Sunny's side go crazy. "Then...then... Sugarcoat!" Said Sunny desperately. "No." Said Sugarcoat who joined the crew. "Sorry Sunny, don't worry we'll catch up another time ok?' Said Lemon tapping Sunny's shoulder. She couldn't take it, another day without Lemon? Did she do something wrong to deserve this? She didn't Know. Trying to make a smile she said,"Ok." The school ring bell sounded, the crystal prep students were slowly sitting in their places. Sunny was destroyed on the inside. What could she do? Play some videogames? No, it's not much as fun without Lemon. Go to the mall? No, she could cross paths with Sour and Lemon, she thought that could be creepy. Out of ideas, she just decided to go home, do her things and going to sleep. She waited in front of her locker waiting for Lemon to just wish her a good afternoon. She spotted her and waved her hand to her, Lemon Zest was about to reply but heard Sour. "Lemon! Let's go!" Shouted Sour. Lemon putted her headphones back on and went to Sour. "Bye..." Said Sunny, looking at a window. Getting on her skateboard, she returned to her home. She was thinking, what could go wrong between Lemon and Sour? "Go shopping? That's something best friends do." "Drinking milkshakes? Something best friends do." "Go to a videogames store? That's something Lemon loves to do! Oh no!" "Watch a movie? That's something.... LOVERS DO!" Sunny was on fire. "That's why she hangs with Sour Sweet..." Sunny was crying. "Calm down Sunny, why would Sour like Lemon? They're just friends, I'm sure she has no reason to like Lemon. Or maybe Lemon likes Sour?! Calm down girl!" Sunny thought out loud. Luckily she was alone. After a few minutes, she arrived at home. She made lunch and then sit on her bed, Sunny's parents weren't home because of the summer vacation, they wanted to make more money so they got jobs on summer in another country. Sunny was a big girl, she could take care of herself. "What can I do?" Thinked Sunny. Lemon and Sour were not available, Indigo was training for the next Wondercolts and Shadowbolts match so the only friend that was left of was Sugarcoat. She took her phone and sended a message to Sugarcoat. She waited...*ping* she caught her phone and looked at the text. SUGARCOAT: I'm busy, I'm with Fluttershy taking care of some dogs. "Grrrr!" Sunny groaned while laying down on her bed. "Well, going to Spaceland alone can't​ be that bad." Said Sunny. She tried to at least have fun for herself. "Just like...old times." Sunny was depressed. She took her skateboard and took of to Spaceland. It's was easy to get to Spaceland it's was next to crystal prep, but there was a little problem, the mall was also next to it. Sunny arrived and then she got to the left side of Spaceland, there was the Astrocade. Sunny looked at her favorite​ game: Rings of Saturn Basketball. Top 3 players: 1st. Sunny Flare: 120 2nd. Lemon Zest: 105 3rd. Rainbow Dash: 90 She remembered the day when she got the first place, it was the first time she hang out with Lemon Zest. Smiling, she bought for 30 cents, the Quickies candies, Lemon taught her that these candies gave her more agility with her hands so that she could keep up the pace while she played Rings of Saturn Basketball. Taking some candies, she felt adrenaline from her hands and started the game. "15...30...45...60...75...90...105...120! Time up!" Said the game machine. "Yes! Did you see that Lemon?" Asked Sunny while she turned but the only thing she saw was some Canterlot high school people and some kids playing arcade games. "..." Sunny dropped her face down. She decided to take a tour around the "Journey in the Space" section. She was only thinking about Lemon. "I hate this..." Said Sunny to herself." Stop it! You stupid felling inside of my chest!" "Grrr!! Stop It!" Shouted Sunny as she punched her own chest harder and harder. "Hey, calm down Sunny." Said a mysterious man. "Huh?" Sunny looked everywhere until she found an old friend. "David Hasselhoof?" Asked Sunny, surprised."I can't believe it! It's you! It's been too long!" She hugged David, even if he was behind a counter. "You are still working as a DJ?" Asked Sunny with a curious face. "Yes, after many series, movies and songs, the 80's are over so I just keep this job of being the DJ of this place." Said David Hasselhoof as he putted another CD in the DVD player that was connected to the center of Spaceland, making a new song to be heard by all the people who were in Spaceland. David approached to the phone making an awesome pose. "And now a suggestion from one of my friends Pinkie pie with the song -Perfect day for fun-!" Shouted David Hasselhoof to the mic. "Woohoo!" Cheered the people inside the park. Sunny saw a pink girl jumping up throwing some balloons around the area. "Whaou. People here love this kind of music, even me." Said Sunny while she let out some giggles. David noticed some weird." Hey, were's your friend, you know, the green haired girl with those headphones that she could never forget." Asked while he did another pose. "..." Sunny stopped giggling."She didn't come with me..." Sunny looked at the floor. "Where is she?" Said David. "She's in the Mall with another of my friends." Sunny was looking at the mall next to the school. "Don't worry, is not the end of the world. You only need other friends, I'm not saying to say goodbye to Lemon Zest forever but you need other people. Like this, if you eat a gum, it's gonna be tasty at first but then, he will lose his flavour so you need to find other friends you get it?" Said David. "Yes, it's just that I can't stay less then an hour without thinking of what could I do with Lemon..." Said Sunny while she cleared her eyes. "You have a huge crush on this girl huh?" Said David. "You can't tell anyone!" Shout Sunny while looking everywhere if she could see anyone spying on them. "Don't worry, I won't tell." Said David as he raised his hands in defense. "It's just that in crystal prep, the majority of the people don't like girls who like other girls, even the principal. It's just that if she knew that I had a crush on Lemon, I can't think of what could I do..." Said Sunny. "Whaou you got a big problem on your shoulders." David was surprised. "I know..." Sunny the started to cry again."I don't know if she likes girls." "I'm sorry for you, I don't even know what to do in this situation." David was disappointed. "Don't worry, I'm hoping that feeling goes away..." She putted the palm of her hand on her chest. "Oups, sorry Sunny i need to go bye! I hope you'll find a solution." Waved David. "Yes...I hope too." Tough Sunny as she got home. “Kitt! let’s go were we are needed.!” Said David, as he pressed a button on his watch. “Understood sir.” said a black robot with a red line on his screen coming “AAAAAAHH! Kitt! Don’t scare me like that!” "Bye Sunny Flare! Don't worry: With a little luck, and a whole lot of skills! You can make your dreams come true!" Said David as he got on Kitt and started flying. That brought nostalgia to Sunny, remembering the first day she hang out with Lemon. After a few minutes, she got home, did her homework, took a shower and got to bed waiting for 6 o'clock. "I'm sure after a long day shopping, she will like to play some videogames." Tough happily Sunny."Why didn't I think of that." Sunny was hoping that Lemon will be online this evening. She waited...and waited...waited...."Still offline?!" Sunny was sad, but she refused to give up! She took her phone and texted Lemon. SUNNY FLARE: Hey Lemon! Want to play some Overwatch or Watch dogs 2? We can play more things that you like :) She waited for an answer...*ping* Sunny took her phone rapidly and look at the message. LEMON ZEST: Sorry Sunny I can't, I'm doing my homework with Sugarcoat. Sunny Flare was mad, like the flammes of hell feed her anger."Why she didn't even thinked about doing her homework with me?! Ooohh I get it. He he." Sunny giggled as she put her hand on her head and texted. SUNNY FLARE: Good one Lemon you got me, you are doing your homework. LEMON ZEST sended a photo. Sunny was shocked, it's was a photo of her and Sugarcoat on her room with books and pages. LEMON ZEST: Heu Sunny I need to get back to work good night. Sunny couldn't believe it..."Does she not like me anymore?" Sunny's lips trembled."I...I..." She cried hard. It's more then a month that Lemon hasn't been available to her."Whyyyy!!!" Sunny punched the wall making a little fist mark. She cried for hours, Sunny didn't know what to do. Depression took over her like a dark monster. Her heart was shattered into a million pieces, she didn't care anymore, she just wanted to sleep. > Fourth day before Summer break > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Four days before Summer break ** Sunny was destroyed in the inside, staring everywhere. The ceiling, her homework and her left hand, the knuckles of her hand were bleeding from the punch she did on the wall, but she didn't care. She didn't want to do to anything, just lay there, sad and alone. She looked at a picture of her and Lemon. Sunny felt a burning sensation inside of her and took the picture in her hands. She just wanted to stay in her room but she remembered that she had school, if she missed a single day of school, there could be very bad sentences. She packed up her things slowly and got breakfast. Before she went to school, she looked at her skateboard right next to the door. "Not anymore..." Sunny said to herself. After some minutes, she finally got to school. She went to her locker and got her things before she heard someone. "Hey Sunny." Said Lemon. "Hey Lemon..." Sunny said. Not making eye contact with Lemon. "How was yesterday? " Lemon asked. Sunny didn't want to make herself look like a girl who doesn't have friends, she started lying. It was great! I never had such a fun day. I was with Pinkie Pie, skating all the day."Sunny said. Lemon's eyes widened. "Pinkie is such a good friend." Sunny smiled. "Cool, I...euh...I had fun too." Lemon responded. Sunny looked at Lemon, she was acting weird. "Maybe I could make her jealous." Sunny thought. "This will be a nice payback for this month." "Sunny Flare: Lemon, can I tell you something?" "Lemon Zest: of course, what is it?" "Sunny Flare: I think I'm in love with her." "Lemon Zest: W...Why do you think so?" "Sunny Flare: Because yesterday was the best hang out of my life." Sunny hit her good. * Flashback * - The first hang out of Sunny and Lemon - Sunny and Lemon were at the entrance of Spaceland. "Lemon Zest: Pfiou, we rocked at Spaceland today huh?" "Sunny Flare: It was the best hang out of my life!" "Lemon Zest: Yes! We beated Rainbow Dash at Astrocade! We got autographs from David Hasselhoof on ours Skateboards , We got Moonshakes and more than 500 tickets!" "Sunny Flare: It's not from that..." Sunny started blushing. "Lemon Zest: Why then?" Sunny Flare: Because of you..." "Lemon Zest: You...you really mean that?" "Sunny Flare: Yes." Lemon hugged Sunny. * End of the flashback * "Lemon Zest: Cool..." Sunny Flare: Well, I must get to classes. Bye Lemon." Sunny waved at Lemon as she leaved. "Lemon Zest: Bye Sunny..." Sunny went to her class leaving Lemon sad. "That feels good." Sunny thought. ** After morning classes ** Morning classes were done, Sunny packed up her things and decided to go to the cafeteria. After Sunny leaved the class, someone grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her around. It was Sour Sweet, Sunny stared at her."You..." "Hey. What's wrong Sour Sweet?" Sunny stared. "Sour Sweet: Don't act, like you don't know anything. What did you do to Lemon? She didn't talk to anyone during all the morning. I tried to cheer her up but she didn't care. The only one who was with her before classes was you." "Sunny Flare: You were spying on me?!" "Sour Sweet: Yes! I take care of Lemon. What did you do to her?" "Sunny Flare: I didn't do anything!" "You want to play this game huh? Then let's play." Sour thought. "Sour Sweet: You did something to my Lemon!" Sunny's eyes widened. Her Lemon? Sunny felt a burning sensation in her chest and tears falling from her eyes. She cleaned her eyes as she stood in front of Sour. "Sunny Flare: What do you mean *my Lemon*? "Sour Sweet: Oh didn't I tell you? Lemon is my girl." Sunny had enough, she was definitely corrupted. "Grrrr!!!" Sunny's anger was unleashed. She punched Sour's stomach and pushed her off. Before Sour could react, Sunny started strangling her with her arm. "Sour Sweet: *Coughing* Sour tried to escape but it was no use, Sunny was stronger than her. After a few moments, Sour could feel that she was gonna pass out and got on her knees. Sunny released her but she wasn't done. Sour looked at Sunny before she felt pain in her face. Sunny kicked her in the face. Leaving Sour on the floor. Sunny putted herself on top of Sour as she started crying. "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!" Sunny started punching Sour's face like a maniac. After some time, Sunny was tired. She felt dizzy, her head was spinning. She looked down, her knuckles and parts of her hands were filled with blood. Blood was covering Sour's lips and cheeks, making Sunny come back to her senses. "Oh my goodness!" Sunny screamed. Sour was unconsious. Luckily, no one was near her, everybody was in the cafeteria. Sunny was lost, normally she would never do that, seeing Sour unconsious with her mouth filled with blood was traumatizing. Sunny was doomed, even if she escaped to her home, Sour would tell everyone what she has done. Sunny thought for very long and got an idea. "The infirmary! I can make some sort of drug that could make her forget!" Sunny thought. Without second thoughts, she carried Sour secretly to the infirmary. She looked inside of the infirmary, nobody. She putted Sour on one of the beds and started cleaning her hands and Sour's mouth before looking for books about the medicine that she was looking for. After a few minutes, she found the perfect formula. "Ok... Let's do this." Sunny started to work. * Ten minutes later * She putted the drug inside of a syringe and planted it on Sour's neck. "Now all I need to do is find a distraction to put Sour on one of the tables without anyone sees me." Sunny thought. "The cafeteria has a window, if I can make something that make all the people stare at it...( thinking ) I got it!" Sunny dashed to find a student. Sunny locked everywhere to see if anyone was around. She tapped gently a secret code on the locker and a student came out of it. "Hey, I need your help." Sunny said to the student. "What can I do for you Sunny Flare?" The student asked. "I need a distraction that could make an entire cafeteria to look at a window." Sunny said. "I have the perfect thing for you." The student showed Sunny some fireworks. "It's perfect." Sunny said, giving the student some money. "Glad to do business with you, bye" the student locked himself in the locker. "Ok...The end line is near..." Sunny thought. * After a few minutes * Sunny was outside of the school with Sour's unconscious body, she was preparing the fireworks for the distraction. Sunny Flare: Ok...1...2...3...GO! She lit the fireworks. Sunny left with Sour to the cafeteria. She looked inside of the cafeteria, success! Everyone was distracted, she then carried Sour's body to a table and putted her in a sit position. She then reached her backpack and pulled out her lunch. She ate in silence, thinking about everything that happened. "Sunny Flare: I hurt Lemon, Sour is her girlfriend and I punched her like crazy and now...I'm lying to everyone..." She felt like the worst person on the world, all that because of her jealousy. "Lemon..." Sunny started crying." I can't tell her anything, I don't want to lose the rest of our friendship... Ouch!" She forgot that her left hand was injured, she wanted to clear her eyes. Her knuckles were leaving blood again. "I deserve it..." Sunny said as she let her hand get filled with blood. * 15 minuted after classes * Sunny was alone in the school, she was making sure that there was no evidence left on the school. She started leaving the school, near the entrance someone was waiting for her. "L...Lemon?!" Sunny was scared. "Sunny. Are you hiding something?" Lemon was approaching her. "I...I..." She flew to the school entrance but Lemon had her skateboard. She stoped right in front of Sunny. "Lemon Zest: So..." "Sunny Flare: I euh...I don't hide anything! Really!" Lemon grabbed Sunny's left arm. Revealing the blood. "Lemon Zest: Do you think that I don't care about you? I saw you crying on the table. What is the problem? Who did that to you?" "Sunny Flare: I can't tell you..." "Lemon Zest: Tell me Sunny!" ** A heavy rain started falling ** Sunny Flare: NO!" "Lemon Zest: TELL ME! "Sunny Flare: I.SAID.NO!" Sunny pushed Lemon, the water made Lemon slip, making her fall on the stairs of the school's entrance. Sunny eyes widened in terror. Lemon landed on her neck, but the problem was that her headphones were on her neck. Lemon's headphones broke, her headphones were old, they couldn't resist that fall. The water broke the headphones from the inside too. Sunny stepped back, she did the error of her life, break her crush most valuable thing of her world. Lemon picked up the pieces of her headphones as she started leaving tears. That made Sunny's heart break, more than three times. "Why...?" Lemon asked. Sunny couldn't resist anymore, she ran away. She arrived at her home and locked all the doors. She locked herself on her room. She destroyed Lemon's headphones, the death sentence. The remaining pieces of her friendship with Lemon were broken. "I need some time..." Sunny said to herself. She made dinner for herself, took a shower and headed to her room again. "I need to buy her new headphones!" Sunny said."Good idea." "I just need to avoid Lemon during my work."Sunny said. After twenty minutes, she prepared everything. She landed on her bed. "Okay, I just need to avoid Lemon and Sour, okay...were is that shopping web?"Sunny said. A loud storm hit Sunny's house, making the house go into a blackout. "Oh no! My phone as 1%!" Sunny said as she curled up. Before her phone died, a message showed in front of Sunny, making her have nightmares about tomorrow. Indigo Zap: You're dead. Her phone blacked out, making Sunny be surrounded by the shadows.
