7 days of love
It was a long dark day for starlight. she sat in her office. The turquoise walls sat there tempting her with their beauty. Most people think that being a student guidance counselor would be easy but they were mostly wrong. Most times her job only consists of random questions about what type of shower handle would look best on the wall. Or how many times do you think I can run in circles without stopping. but It's a sad job to deal with sometimes. Like for example Silverstream has always and always will be a cheery little Hippogriff. But every-creature has their problems.
So one day Silverstream came inside Starlight's office looking like something had gone through her mind. So being the mare Starlight was she invited her in. with a smile like any sane person would do with a student like Silverstream. Silverstream looked up just with a glance at the stuff in her office. She was looking at the best mare ever mug sandbar got her for christmas. laying on her shelf to the left. And then proceeded to burst out into tears. I was starstruck by the amount of tears flowing from her eyes her beak was red from wiping so much. Her eyes were pale and stale like she had just seen a ghost that wanted to kill her family.
Starlight looked up at her and went in for the hug. she needed not to be told what was wrong because this office is a place of tears and rips in the soul. It's a place where her student can rest her little head and trust her to say her part in her problems. I waltz to my shelf to find something to calm her down. But then starlight remembered the mug that had started this outburst and how it could hurt the beautiful Hippogriff. And then she thought back to the time Gallus rejected her she acted the same way as this. So it must be a break up but with who? His mind struggled to remember what could be causing this. She strained her head, she needed to know. Sileverstream was still ballin 'in her arms then her mind flashed with a tough like the sun had lighted her mind and she knew why this mug had done this. Sandbar broke up with her.
So starlight being the mare she was, talked to Silverstream about how this sad event had happened. Silverstream studerd on this tough starlight could see her thinking about what to say and how to say it. Starlight waited there for a while, usually she would have to say that she had to go but she could see that Silverstream had needed this. Silverstream finally spoke up after a few deep breaths.
"Starlight I broke up with Sandbar"
"I figured as much"
"What how would you know about us do you keep tabs on everybody in the school"
'pretty much'
Silverstream then looked at starlight with an expression that just spoke. what the hay
"Silverstream, don’t take this the wrong way but I am a part of this school. meaning I need to know the students in it. so as a consular I know who needs more surveillance than others. I know who needs to be seen and what I need to know to help the poor souls that wander in here seeking my knowledge and wisdom, on the problems that they need to be helped with"
"So you stalking us all"
"Yep"
Silverstream laughed at this thought. The guidance concealer. Stalking her. she has never heard such crap. But then almost as soon as that thought came in her mind. Starlight saw the wordy laughing and started to glow her horn and created a giant screen that can only be seen on TV in this day and age. The screen consisted of 10 different mini screens. The screens show a variety of things ranging from smolder yelling in a closet, to Gallus mumbling in his sleep, to sandbar pacing in circles, to Yona jumping in the gym, to Ocellus yelling about the plot of a book she is reading, and silver stream. talking to starlight. And a few other ones that Silverstream new from class but not personally.
Silverstream jumped from shock, all her friends' secrets and personal things. all the private things they thought they had, even the crying she did in the closet. Did she see all of it? Starlight saw the look on her face and noticed that it was probably wired knowing that she knew everything and she could see all. So starlight taught to herself what she would do to say that she knew about all the crushes she had and everything that she wanted to be hers and only hers. so after a moment of unspoken silence Starlight cursed.
"Shit i did not think about how you now know i can see you all the time"
Starlight had a look of fright in her face as she spoke
"Its OK counselor starlight i won't tell anybody"
"Not even Twilight"
“Why would i need to tell twilight,she knows right”
"Do you really think twilight would let me stalk all my students"
After a pause of silence Silver stream barely spoke.
"No not really"
"So please don't say anything i only do this to see your problems and how i can help you concerns but at least now you know that yes I've seen you clop to a pic of Gallus i know you did its OK we all do it at one point"
Silverstream screamed and looked down to her privates in horror and starlight laughed.
"WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME"
"Because you should not be scared even I did it once to a picture of Sandbarrrr.... oh GOD DAMN IT
Starlight had her hooves on her face. Her face was buried deep in her hooves even under all the pink of her hooves Silverstream could see the blush on her face now Silverstream was the one laughing. Silverstream was not crying. but i know she would be from laughter if she had not already dried herself of tears from balling for a few minutes straight. After a little while starlight lifted her head and looked at Silverstream. Silverstream had never seen her so serious.
"Silverstream if you tell ANY-CREATURE you will not live the days to boast about it to any-creature DO YOU UNDERSTAND"
Silverstream was shocked by the amount of seriousness in her tone. so Silverstream knew she needed to take this chance to do something.
"Only if you let me help you tell him that you love him"
"WHAT"
"In a week"
"CHKKKKKKKKKKJGHGHGHG"
Starlight then began choking and Silverstream helped her up from the place under her desk on the floor then starlight blacked out
Starlight thought about what had just happened. That hard moment with Silverstream was just yesterday, only yesterday that just one prime part of why her job is so hard. starlight contemplated what had happened. She had seven days now silver stream said the timer would start next week to Starlight's relief.
Then it struck her. her brain had just found the worst possible outcome. she felt a shock go through her entire body she felt the sweat drip from her forehead and she saw the truth.
Sandbar is single.
It was day one. I have to admit my feelings to sandbar by the end of the week. It's almost been an hour. I have not had a student come into my office yet. I was hoping for once in my life that I would have a bunch of students in my office all the time. but no, the one time i don't want to have free time, i do. why is life like that. I did not want to think about Sandbar anymore. His nice mane and how it flows like the ocean breeze. the way his smile looks at anybody with sympathy. his flank and how the turtle represents his chill vibe. the way he talks as if every-word he says i thought out carefully.
I stopped my line of thinking. i am in love with him. How could i not see this before? How could a cheery little balloon like Sillverstream help me see this. This is not ok. I wish I could turn back time. Without dooming the entire universe. I can not see the truth. What if it happens again. But in the middle of starlight's train of thought. Sandbar walks in her office Smiling. In a dress. Like a maid. Blushing, Really cute.
Starling had a heart attack. She felt her heart skip a beat. Starlight came so close to fainting. The only thing stopping her was the fact that she was enjoying this. Why was she like this. Why did she find him so hot. What was wrong with her.but more important why was he here in a maid outfit.
“Sandbar”
Starlight managed to mumble under all the pressure in the air, she was very shaky.
“Whhhyy arrree youuuu heere too see mee ttodday”
Sandbar then looked behind him almost like he was waiting for somebody to tell him what to say. Starlight was distracted by the fact she was trying not to faint of seer shock. But then Sandbar spoke up with uncertainty in his voice as if he doubted that the choice he was about to make was a smart one. He preceded to say
“What up baby”
As soon as Sandbar spoke, he broke down in to shaky state, his lips were shaky. His eyes were concerned. And he looked like he was forced to say those words.
But Starlight saw nothing of it. She was already too jumpy and to scared. she screamed Starlight screamed so loud that the sirens would be shocked. Sandbar however did not even flinch; he just stared at Starlight. As if he was expecting this. Starlight was still screaming. After about 30 seconds of screaming, Starlight took a breath and exhaled like she was going to do it again but then before Starlight even got the chance to scream. Sandbar interrupted her saying.
“I'm here to fluff your pillows”
Starlight was unable to speak. She should be faint. The only reason she is conscious. Is the plot convenient? But that Is not ok so let’s say. She thought he was so hot that If she fainted she would miss his hotness? Sure I guess. (this is the narrator who slakes off on the job all the time. that's why it keeps switching)
Sandbar was done. Whatever he agreed to do here, he was done with it. He was about to leave when Starlight finally spoke up saying.
“Don't go. I want to talk to you. I need to know why you are here. Every student is important. And you are not here to have a nice chat are you”
“No counselor Starlight”
Starlight waved and motioned her hooves to the couch on the other side of her desk. Starlight was still shocked. But slowly she sat down. She grip her coffee with her horn. And took a small sip. She needed to calm down. This might be her chance to say her part and help Sandbar in some way. But then he said something so stupid. So dumb. So uncomfortable. So unpredictable. Starlight was deprived of her only hope of success. Sandbar said.
“Starlight the reason I broke up with Silverstream is that… I’m gay”
Sandbar was about to open his mouth again probably to say who he is in love with now but before he could speak he saw the look in Starlight’s eyes. She died. She has lost all hope of completing this mission. She would tell Sandbar by the end of the week to only say that his heart is for another stallion. She would never have him in her arms. In this moment Starlight saw the truth. Love is nothing but an object. An idol. Something that can be taken away in a single moment. Love is not an emotion. Love is a thing to be stripped of. Love is nothing but a nuisance. A blinding happiness.
Sandbar was looking at Starlight and with his eyes he could see that her entire headcanon had been shattered. With his eyes he could see the damage he had caused; he did not know how or why he broke her. But he did know he could not just leave her like this. And so the session of therapy started. But Sandbar is the therapist (yes i know i spelt it wrong i can't fix it)
Sandbar looked into Starlight's eyes. And said.
“Starlight what's wrong”
With a sigh afterwords. Starlight looked at Sandbar as if looking through him to his soul and mind. And said nothing. Hinting that something is wrong but could say nothing in return. Sandbar took this hint and took a minute to think.
Starlight is panicked and can't speak from shock. It's like she deflated from a balloon full of bouncy helium. almost broken. Turned into a deflated, flat, useless, balloon. She is sad and I made her sad somehow. almost like pinky does when she is supper sad, almost like she is dead. But how would I make her happy? There is no way I can make her happy without help. So who do I need? Who would make her happy.
Sandbar contemplated this thought.
I could get Gallus but he would not care or know how to fix it. I could get smolder but he knows nothing of support and would be too busy or something. I could get yona but she would have a hard time thinking or saying the right thing. Silverstream can't really help; she would be too happy and not help with all that. The only other person I can think of is. Ocellus!
Sandbar then got up and ran. He knew Starlight would not go anywhere but he did not want her to be sad for longer then she had to.
It was the middle of class and Sandbar didn't really know what class Ocellus would be in right now but he did know that she loves Twilight's history class and might be there at this time. So Sandbar ran to history class as fast as he could. It was only a matter of time until she broke beyond fix. Sandbar was speeding, running so fast in the halls. Then he heard headmare twilight yell.
“Stop right there young man”
“No sorry principle twilight gotta go bye”
And he was off, he went around the corner, Leaving a very confused Twilight behind him.
but then,almost as if on queue. Ocelluce was there standing there completely still she looked ok…. Then she fell.
Sandbar did not know why she fell but was too glad to care so he brought her to Starlight’s office. And noticed that she was barely breathing. He was shocked. And he proceeded to run faster. Until he burst into Starlight’s office. kicking down the door and Starlight looked up. Her face still bland like before. With a hint of sadness now. As if she has only now just processed what he said. Sandbar was surprised Starlight had not noticed him yet. But he had no time to think about that now Ocellus needed his help.
“Starlight Ocelluce is barely breathing”
Starlight looked up. She had concern for her eyes. But also has pain behind the shell she just made from fear. Starlight got up and teleported away. To wear, only time could tell. Sandbar was about to freak out when he was teleported to twilight's office. By twilight...Sandbar was not happy, something was wrong with Starlight and twilight just messed it all up. Sandbar was mad. But Sandbar could not shout, he was too scared.
But then before twilight could say anything, Ocellus screamed. She screamed like someone had just hurt her soul. She screamed like someone she knew had just died. It was not a scream of pain. But a scream of loss. Twilight saw this before she could even yell at Sandbar. Sandbar saw the look of confusion in Twilight's face. Before twilight could even say anything. Sandbar was teleported again. Into Fluttershy's class of medical aid for animals. Everybody looked back at Sandbar in the flash of pink light he had just come from with Ocellus on his back.
Gallus was the first to turn around at the bright pink burst of magic. Gallus turned away from the injured tiger sitting there. The tiger had wandered into the school looking for Fluttershy. So Fluttershy changed the lesson to medic class for injured animals. Gallus only saw Ocellus because he was too distracted by the fact that she was screaming. Gallus flew over to Ocellus in a panic and grabbed her from Sandbar barely taking a glance. Thank Celesta Gallus was distracted for he would have seen the fact that Sandbar was looking at Gallus blushing within sight.
When Gallus grabbed Ocellus, he flew too Fluttershy. Gallus was scared out of his feathers. Ocellus was having a hard time breathing. Fluttershy didn't even scream at the sight of Ocellus. Almost like she had seen this before. Fluttershy grabbed a random thing from her desk. If Gallus is correct it's called a puffer. Fluttershy then shoved it into Ocellus’s mouth and Started pumping. Air started forcing itself down Ocellus’s throat. It was a special kind of puffer. It's meant for people without asthma and just for when you can't breath. Fluttershy was so good at this that she had definitely done this before. As Fluttershy kept pumping, Ocellus’s lungs started to go up and down slower and slower. Until Ocellus gasped for air as if all the oxygen in the world would not be good enough.
“No time gotta go bye”
After that sentence came out of her mouth she bolted for the door but Gallus was faster and blocked the door. Ocellus’s entire body rammed into Gallus’s wing with an oof. Gallus only pouted a soft ow before getting up to block the door again. Sandbar in the middle of this remembered that he found Ocelluce on the floor. Sandbar the shouted.
“Ocellus what is so important that you fainted on the floor without air and are now freaking out about”
“It's a changeling emergency”
“What is”
“Sandbar you broke Starlights soul”
“What do you mean”
“Sandbar, you killed Starlight”
and the out of spite, Ocellus rammed into Sandbar's head after turning into a dragon, Sandbar took a direct hit in the back of the head. he was fading out, everything was turning black. he had just been knocked out by the little cute Changling. and the last thing Sandbar heard was a shreak. Sandbar did now know who it was, but had a guess it was Gallus. but then, that made sandbar realize, he had just got knocked out in-front of his crush, in a maid costume, Gallus would never love him. and everything faded to black. he was pathetic.
