  2.  
  3. >Sunset walks up to you. She has a pained expression like shes trying to force a smile.
  4. >"Hi Anon!"
  5. "Um, hey Sunset."
  6. >Her eyes dart to the left, and then to the right. Then she slowly leans in toward you and starts to whisper.
  7. >"Hey, my friends over gave me this stupid dare.." You lean in and whisper back.
  8. "What kind of dare?"
  9. >"Well, they want me to just start making out with you. I was wondering if you'd want to just play along for the next few minutes, just so I can get this over with?"
  10. --------
  11. "Uh..Okay. Sure I guess."
  12. >She clasps her hands together, and bends her knees slightly.
  13. >"Oh thank you Anon! You're the best."
  14. >You smile a little.
  15. "Just glad to help you out. So..?"
  16. >She grabs your cheeks with soft, silky palms, and brings your faces together.
  17. >Her lips are soft, and slightly wettened, and strangely eager considering you're just supposed to be playing along with this act.
  18. >You put an arm across her back, and one around her waist.
  19. >"Mnnnnh~"
  20. >Her shut eyes look as if she's desperate to go further.
  21. >You can hear hooting, and catcalls from a table on the other side of the cafeteria.
  22. >She gently breaks the kiss, pecking you one last time before ending the smooch.
  23. >She bites the corner of her bottom lip with her teeth.
  24. "...Wow."
  25. >"...Yeah. Thanks a lot Anon!"
  26. >She slides from your grip, and hurries back to her friends.
  27. >You stand there mouth puckered still, dumbfounded, as Sunset, and the rest of her friends giggle and chat.
  28. >The bell rings for lunch to end.
  29. >Everyone piles out of the cafeteria, and spills outward into the hallways, heading to their lockers, or wherever else they have to go.
  30. >Rainbow jogs up behind you, and taps you on the shoulder.
  31. >"That was insane Dude! I thought Sunset was lying, when she said you two were dating!"
  32. "Dating? It wasn't a dare?"
  33. >Rainbow laughs out loud.
  34. >"Why would we dare Sunset to kiss her BOYFRIEND? That's a little stupid, don't you think?"
  35. >Oi vey.
  36. "Hold on, I need some clarification here-"
  37. >Before the conversation can expedite, the warning bell sounds.
  38. >"Crap, I'm gonna be late! Let's talk later okay Anon?"
  39. >You hold up a finger, but can only watch as Rainbow disappears down the hall, and around the corner.
  40. >Guess you better head to class too then..
  41. >"Hey Anon! Nice!"
  42. >Brad gives you finger pistols, as you pass by him, and his band members.
  43. "R-right..Thanks."
  44. >"Yo Anon! Got a good one there!"
  45. >One of those weird Eco-kids gives you a peace sign.
  46. >Fucking turd haired hippie.
  47. "Yeah! Thanks.."
  48. >WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!
  49. >You're Anonymous.
  50. >The school half-breed.
  51. >Too nerdy to be popular, and too popular to be nerdy.
  52. >Sunset Shimmer is telling people you're dating?
  53. >Sunset 9/10 Shimmer, with the hips that won't quit?
  54. >Dating you, the dungeons, and dragons master?
  55. >This is proof god smokes crack.
  56. >You enter your next class, with a befuddled frown.
  57. >"Hey Anon!"
  58. >You snap out of your trance, and look to the voice who called you.
  59. >It's the teacher. Mr. Cranky Doodle.
  60. >He balls a fist up, and raps it against his heart twice.
  61. >"Respect."
  62. >Are you serious?
  63. >You nod confused, and go to your seat.
  64. >Good luck, trying to focus in class. Between, your idle curiosity, and the raging erection having a mosh pit in your fucking pants, who can focus on class?
  65. >You just sit there with folded hands, and a flushed face.
  66. >Surely, you can bum some notes off someone else, but this shit needs investigation now.
  67. >While lost in your thoughts, you almost didn't hear the teacher tell you all to work on your assignments while he stepped out.
  68. >"Psst! Anon!"
  69. >You look around for who called you, to see a hand waving to you.
  70. >The owner with turquoise hair, and freckles. Math team superstar.
  71. >Algie.
  72. >He motions for you to bring it in.
  73. >You shrug, and slide a chair up to his desk.
  74. >He leans forward on his elbows, and looks around the room.
  75. "Dude. What the fuck are you doing?"
  76. >He looks left, and right again.
  77. >"So..did you do it?"
  78. >You double-take your face shaking ever so slightly.
  79. "Do what?"
  80. >"It".
  81. "I have no idea what you're going on about man."
  82. >He presses his fingers against your left shoulder.
  83. >"You, and Sunset."
  84. "You too? Where did this shit even start?"
  85. >His jaw drops.
  86. >"Really? She's been telling everyone, you two were dating! It's like known all over. Too be honest, we paid it no mind, because-"
  87. >He raises both eyebrows, and tilts his head to the side.
  88. "Right. The zombie thing."
  89. >They considered a lie that just hadn't died out yet.
  90. >You put your face in your hands.
  91. >Okay, now for the record, you'd dust Sunset's ass in a heartbeat.
  92. >Just, you're not sure what to make of things right now.
  93. >You need to ask her.
  94. >On cue, the bell rings ending the period.
  95. >You rise up, prepared to seek out your "Girlfriend".
  96. >"Wait."
  97. >Algie grabs your forearm.
  98. >You look back to him.
  99. >"We still up for tomorrow?"
  100. "Yeah, yeah. I gotta go man. I need some answers."
  101. >He lets you go, and waves you off.
  102. >You nod, and exit out into the crowded hallway.
  103. >You head down the main hallway, and hang a left.
  104. >Sunset's locker is usually around the darker parts of the highschool. It's a little weird.
  105. >Sunset? Hanging around in the dark?
  106. >You hang a right, and arrive where she usually swaps books out.
  107. >It's eerily quiet like always.
  108. >Like some supernatural, man-eating monster will emerge from the shadows, and eat your balls or something.
  109. >A finger taps your back.
  110. "AAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!"
  111. >You leap into the air, and touch the ceiling with your head.
  112. >You hit the floor, and scurry away, clutching your chest.
  113. >Sunset stands before you with a hand up.
  114. >"Hi. Did I scare you?"
  115. "YES."
  116. >She giggles, and comes forward, bending down with a hand offered.
  117. >You take a deep breath, and take the offered palm, standing up with a grunt, and wobbly legs, as if you were suddenly awoken from a deep sleep.
  118. >"Are you sure you're okay?"
  119. "Yeah. I'm great."
  120. >You lean against the wall, and breathe hard.
  121. >You do not like jumpscares.
  122. >"Uhm..Okay. Then if you'll excuse me-"
  123. "Wait. Sunset wait."
  124. >You hold a hand up, stopping her from passing by.
  125. >She looks at you with concerned eyes.
  126. "I have to know. What that kiss was about at Lunch."
  127. >Her eyes rise as high as they'll go, a slight red tinge creeping across her features slowly.
  128. >She steps away, and turns around holding a tuft of her hair, in her hands.
  129. >"It was just a silly dare. I'm sorry I got you involved in it. Okay?"
  130. >You come from behind her, and touch her arm.
  131. "That's not what I heard."
  132. >She bites her lip again, and hugs herself.
  133. >"Y-yeah? What did you hear?"
  134. >She looks at you out the corner of her eye.
  135. "Someone has been telling people we're dating, and that little show in the cafeteria was you validating your claim."
  136. >She raises her shoulders.
  137. >"Heh. You got me."
  138. >She still hasn't turned around.
  139. "Well?"
  140. >"Well wh-what?"
  141. "Am I gonna get some sort of explanation, or something? A reason why I'm suddenly Sunset Shimmer's boyfriend, without actually getting to enjoy it?"
  142. >She turns partially to you.
  143. >"Enjoy it? You'd enjoy it?"
  144. >You nod with a "Duh" face.
  145. >She smiles, and looks at the ground.
  146. >"Look..are you doing anything after school today?"
  147. >You open your mouth to answer.
  148. >Fuck.
  149. "Actually..."
  150. >She looks at you with a disappointed frown.
  151. >You weigh your options.
  152. >Bring her to one of the greatest nerd sessions known to man?
  153. >Like, how often is it that, a hottie like Sunset shows interest in anything resembling you?
  154. "I got this get together with my friends tonight.."
  155. >"Oh..Well. I see. I'm sorry for springin-"
  156. "You want to come?"
  157. >She balls up her mouth, and looks at you in surprise.
  158. >If she's for real, then this won't be a problem. Right?
  159. >"You want me around?"
  160. >Her eyes shimmer with hope.
  161. >No pun intended.
  162. "Yeah. Of course. I mean that is if you don't mind hanging around a bunch of nerds."
  163. >She brings her hands together, and beams at you.
  164. >"Of course I don't..!"
  165. "So then front of the building."
  166. >"Got it."
  167. >That was easy. Also why does it feel like you just set up a date?
  168. >Sunset wraps her arms around you, and closes her eyes.
  169. >She wants to kiss you.
  170. >You kissed her once before today, but now it feels like you're doing it for the first time.
  171. >It makes your heart beat really hard.
  172. >Her perky mounds press against your chest.
  173. >The limited contact you're making feels amazing.
  174. >It send electricity down your neck, to your toetips.
  175. >She stops halfway, and opens her eyes questioningly.
  176. >She places a hand on your chest.
  177. >"Oh. Are you nervous?"
  178. >You try to speak through your spontaneous cotton mouth.
  179. >Sunset smirks in your face.
  180. >"That's cute. Your body is heating up too."
  181. >Your face turns red.
  182. "Heh..How did it get to this point huh..?
  183. >She sucks her teeth, and grins.
  184. >"Something is poking my stomach too. Is that you?"
  185. "It's my wallet?"
  186. >"Mhm."
  187. >Her chest perched hand slithers downwards.
  188. >"So do you need more evidence I'm serious about you?"
  189. "Oh god yes--!"
  190. >Her fingers touch the hem of your pants-
  191. >"HEY! What are you kids doing out by yourselves?"
  192. >You, and Sunset's heads whip around to the unwelcome observer.
  193. >It's the janitor..his name is--uh..
  194. >Scrappy? Scraggy? No, that's a pokemon.
  195. >Scru-
  196. >"You kids better git ta class mm-hm"
  197. >He leans on his push broom with uncaring eyes awaiting your response.
  198. >Sunset sighs, and turns back to you.
  199. >"Front of the school. I'll be there."
  200. "Y-yeah. I can't wait."
  201. >She kisses your cheek slowly, and softly, taking your face in her hands.
  202. >"I bet you can't."
  203. >She winks, curing her mouth to the side, and takes a few backwards steps, before walking off, with a sway in her hips.
  204. >She forgot to get her books.
  205. >Wait, WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT THAT?!
  206. >She was about to play double dutch with the D!
  207. >You put a hand against your head, and look up at the ceiling.
  208. "Now what do I do? She's gonna be repulsed by the guys."
  209. >"Mhm."
  210. >You double-take again at the staring Janitor.
  211. "What are you doing here still? Isn't there something you could be cleaning?"
  212. >He blinks with half-lowered eyes.
  213. >"Scruffy's on break right now."
  214. >The fuck?
  215. >You walk away from the lethargic janitor, shaking your head.
  216. >The rest of the day went uncomfortably fast, leaving you little time to plan out how this visit would go.
  217. >How lame are you? You could be taking this girl's virginity..
  218. >Okay, who the fuck are we kidding?
  219. >She could be taking YOUR virginity, but instead, she gets to watch you, and your friends make complete asses of yourselves.
  220. >You walk towards the main entrance of the building, bag slung over your shoulder.
  221. >Your palms are hella clammy.
  222. >Stopping short a foot from the door, you take a deep breath.
  223. "Here goes nothin."
  224. >You step out into the dimming sunlight, and search for your impromptu girlfriend.
  225. >Like she promised, she's waiting out front for you near the statue.
  226. >The same statue that apparently links this world with a world filled with horses.
  227. >This school is weird..
  228. >Sunset leans against the finished stone monument with her hands behind her back.
  229. >She looks around with an equally anxious expression.
  230. >You swallow a little bit of saliva, and break out into a loud coughing fit.
  231. >It draws the attention of a few passing kids, and Sunset as well.
  232. >Somewhere, somebody has to be cringing at your display right now.
  233. >Your fit starts to die down, as some snickers escape the lips of watchers.
  234. >"Heh..are you okay?"
  235. >A hand rubs your back.
  236. >A hand that feels warmer than a sunbeam.
  237. >You look up from your hunched over position at Sunset, who smiles warmly at you.
  238. >"Ready to go?"
  239. "Y-yeah"
  240. >You cough one last time.
  241. >She hooks her arm in yours.
  242. >The laughs die down immediately, as the two of you head down the walkway.
  243. >This is gonna do leaps, and bounds for your popularity.
  244. >Embarrassing moments aside, it feels great having a girl hang off your arm.
  245. >She rests her head on your shoulder, as you make it to the sidewalk, away from the stares, and envy.
  246. >Guess every dog has his day.
  247. >She holds your closer, and smiles sighing.
  248. >"So where are we going for this get-together?"
  249. "My house."
  250. >Her eyes widen.
  251. >"Y-your house?"
  252. "Yeah. That's where we have our little game nights."
  253. >"Game night..."
  254. >You gulp. That didn't sound like she was looking forward to it.
  255. "So uh.."
  256. >"Hm?"
  257. "Where did all this come from? Why didn't you ever come to me yourself? Why all this lying,and whatnot?"
  258. >She balls her lips up, and averts her gaze.
  259. >"Do you remember about three months back? Like after.."That" happened?"
  260. >You try to think.
  261. >Besides nearly being enslaved, you can't really think of anything super important that happened around that time.
  262. >You look up thinking.
  263. >"You don't remember? That's fine. I'll help you recall things. Slowly."
  264. >She smiles at you, trailing a finger down your ear, and neck.
  265. >It gives you goosebumps.
  266. >You blink a few times, and clear your throat.
  267. >Whatever you did, must've been pretty amazing.
  268. "So what about the rest?"
  269. >She looks around.
  270. >"I..I don't know if I can tell you just yet."
  271. "You can't tell me why you were saying we were dating?"
  272. >She closes her eyes, and frowns.
  273. >"I can't yet. Just know I'm for real Anon."
  274. "But, why?"
  275. >She hugs your arm.
  276. >"I just can't yet."
  277. >You really shouldn't complain.
  278. >Seriously. You really, really shouldn't.
  279. >But, it just begs the question, "why"?
  280. >Sunset refuses to lo look at you in the eyes.
  281. "I get it. I'll drop it for now."
  282. >"Thank you."
  283. >Her grip firmly tightens.
  284. >"So, what game are going to go play?"
  285. >You take a deep breath. This is a horrible idea.
  286. >Thinking clearly now, it was a really horrible decision.
  287. "Just some th-thing we do every other d-day or so.."
  288. >She smiles, and and leans on your shoulder once more.
  289. >Hope she likes pasta.
  290. >Walking down the street, it felt as if it was only the two of you in the entire world. You're still in disbelief that you bagged someone like Sunset. If it were up to her she'd probably say opposite to the contrary.
  291. >How can you even catch feelings for someone who just up, and kissed you out the blue one day?
  292. >The same someone, who tried to ENSLAVE THE SCHOOL.
  293. >The school seems to have widely forgiven her.
  294. >Why can't you let go?
  295. >A few more minutes of strolling,and the two of you reached the place be it ever so humble.
  296. >Sunset releases your arm, scanning your humble house.
  297. >"This is where you live huh?"
  298. >You smile, and hop up the steps, and head to the door.
  299. "Yeah. Sorry. It's probably nothing like what you're used to."
  300. >She raises an eye at you, as she follows you up the stairs.
  301. >"Why would you apologize? It's neat."
  302. >Yeah, why are you apologizing?
  303. >Being the true gent you are, you open the door for Sunset, who daintily enters with a wink.
  304. >You follow suit, and close the door behind you.
  305. "So let's head to the basement and-"
  306. >"ANON! IS THAT YOU BOY?!"
  307. >Fuck.
  308. >Your balding, husky dad comes into the foyer, from the kitchen, wiping his hands.
  309. >He looks between you, and Sunset, picking at his back teeth with his tongue.
  310. >"Who's this?"
  311. >You hold out an arm, to make this introduction as smooth as possible.
  312. "This is Sunset Shimmer from school! She's my frien-"
  313. >"GIRL-friend."
  314. >You blush, as Sunset corrects you, earning a shit-eating grin from dad.
  315. >"So this is your "Girlfriend" huh? Nice one boy. I honestly thought you were gay for a bit."
  316. "DAD!"
  317. >Sunset puts a hand to her mouth, chuckling lightly.
  318. >He snaps his fingers.
  319. >"I know! Let me get the baby pictures!"
  320. "Dad, seriously! What the heck?!?"
  321. >He jiggles off into the living room, searching through cupboards.
  322. >You grab Sunset's hand, and gently lead her to the basement, before any other embarrassing, cliché "Dad" moments happen.
  323. >"Whoa! Slow down Anon..!"
  324. >You open the door, and hurry downstairs, with Sunset close behind you.
  325. >Down in the basement, a large table sits in the center of a carpeted floor.
  326. >A bar, with a mini-fridge resting behind it compliments it neutrality.
  327. >"So this is where it all happens?"
  328. >You slide your hands into your pockets.
  329. "Yeah. I guess it is."
  330. >"You know, I never pictured it to be like this."
  331. "Like what?"
  332. >She waves her hands around.
  333. >"Quaint."
  334. "That's one way of putting it."
  335. >A thought pops up into your head,
  336. "You pictured yourself in my house?"
  337. >Sunset gasps, and turns away from you, hugging her arms.
  338. >She paces around in startled silence.
  339. >"Maybe. What about it?"
  340. >This girl is for real isn't she?
  341. >She's really into you.
  342. >She looks over her shoulder with a smile.
  343. >You may never have a chance like this ever again in life.
  344. >Take it now, or you'll regret it forever.
  345. "Is there anything else, you pictured yourself doing, or seeing in my house?"
  346. >Feeling courage, and lust well up inside you approach Sunset, and hug her from behind.
  347. >Her breath sharply increases, and quiets down.
  348. >"St-stuff.."
  349. >You place your hands on her hips, and pull her closer.
  350. "Like..?"
  351. >She backs into you, taking your hands into hers.
  352. >It makes you tingle inside, feeling her weight pressed upon you.
  353. >Her scent dancing in your nostrils, and the heavy breathing, both of you are doing your damndest to restrain.
  354. >Her supple rump slowly brushes up against your excitement.
  355. >"You want to see what I pictured doing in your basement..?"
  356. "...Yeah."
  357. >She inches closer to your face, her breath flowing across your lips.
  358. >It's hot, and trembles out her shuddering lips.
  359. >Her eyes shut,as she breaks the gap between you, and goes in for the proverbial kill.
  360. >Your mouth is engulfed by hers.
  361. >Her experience shows, as the two of you gnash, and lock.
  362. >Her hands stroke, and rub the back of your head, as she gets more into it.
  363. >You stumble slightly from holding her up.
  364. >"Mnnh!"
  365. >She breaks the kiss to gasp out a moan, her hand clutching your arms.
  366. >You stare into her reddened face with strained breath.
  367. >"...How quiet can you be?"
  368. >What?
  369. "I--I don't understand what you mean Sunset."
  370. >She peers over your shoulder to the steps, checking for any watchers.
  371. >"Try to be as quiet as you can okay? I don't want to get caught."
  372. >Sunset lowers herself to your waistline, slipping her hands into the hem of your jeans, and mechanically working the button off.
  373. >You gulp, finally understanding what she's going to do.
  374. >Your trousers slide down partially, just above your knees, as her gentle fingers root through your--er..
  375. >Sunset stops.
  376. >"Anon..Are these Pokemon boxers?"
  377. >You cover your face with your hands.
  378. >Of all the days.
  379. "Yes.."
  380. >Your face burns with the intensity of a thousand suns.
  381. >At least you didn't wear the ninja turtle ones today.
  382. >Though, somehow that may have been better.
  383. >You hear a cute giggle, and nearly double over.
  384. >You've been exposed, and sucked into the mouth of Sunset.
  385. >She looks up at you with bedroom eyes, giving you a clear view of your meat in her mouth.
  386. >She opens up, showing her teeth gently pressing down onto your shaft with a smile.
  387. >Your mouth opens wide, as your knees knock together.
  388. >Her hands slides along the base, holding it firmly, as she wildly tongues down every inch of your heated flesh.
  389. "O-oooohh.."
  390. >"You have to be quiet Anon.."
  391. >You nod, and place your hands over your mouth.
  392. >She slaps the tip of your erection against the flat of her tongue, sending shivers up your back.
  393. >Your cheeks clench in shame, and arousal, as you inadvertently explode all over Sunset's face, and mouth.
  394. >She shuts her eyes, and sputters.
  395. >You wobble away, pulling your pants back up.
  396. >She reaches into her jacket pocket, looking for anything to clean the mess with.
  397. "...I'm sorry."
  398. >She locates a napkin, and starts to clean herself off.
  399. >"Warn me next time, okay?"
  400. "Okay."
  401. >You feel like such a loser.
  402. >"So was that your first time?"
  403. >You nod, fastening the button of your jeans.
  404. >She smiles, discarding the dirty paper towel in a nearby wastebasket.
  405. >"There's plenty more of that to come."
  406. >Your heart starts beating again.
  407. >"Or--"
  408. >She lifts her skirt with one hand, and parts her dark panties to the side.
  409. >"Did you want a quick preview now?"
  410. >Is this really happening?
  411. >You gasp, and take shuddering deep breaths.
  412. >You step forward, with your hands extended.
  413. >The thundering sounds of footsteps coming down your basement stairs cancels any plans to go further, however, with Sunset scrambling to make herself presentable.
  414. >You wipe the sweat off of your face, and face the stairs.
  415. >Algie, clad in wizard's robes, comes down the stairs followed by Lyra, in her eleven priestess costume, with Pip, dressed like a Viking behind her.
  416. >Sunset's eyes open wide.
  417. >"Say..what game are you playing again Anon?"
  418. >She stands next to you holding your hand tightly.
  419. "It's uh..It's-"
  420. >"Forsooth young Anonymous! Ist thou prepared for an adventure of intrigue, and loot aplenty?"
  421. >You facepalm, as Algie holds up his paper mache staff.
  422. >Lyra moves some of her hair out of the way, giving the new visitor a once-over.
  423. >She pays special attention to the interlocked fingers.
  424. >"You didn't tell us, you were bringing company Anon."
  425. >She crosses her arms, and looks between the two of you, with a cocked eye.
  426. "Yeah..It was last second, but..here she is.."
  427. >Algie pats Lyra on the back.
  428. >"Come hither young Elf! Surely, the young lass is most welcome to be apart of our circle!"
  429. >He shuffles forward with his large robe, and takes a seat.
  430. >At least you know Algie will always have your back.
  431. >Back.
  432. >Have your back.
  433. >Why does that sound like it should mean something?
  434. >Pipsqueak bumps the pouting elf roleplayer, and hurries to the table.
  435. >"C'mon Loira! GRRRRR!"
  436. >His Viking hat covers his face, as he does his best Viking impersonation.
  437. >Lyra still looks unhappy.
  438. >"Whatever. Let's just start."
  439. >She takes a seat next to Algie.
  440. >Sunset touches your arm.
  441. >"Is it really okay for me to be here? It doesn't seem like I'm wanted.."
  442. "It's fine. Just tsit with Algie, and Lyra, and I'll walk you through everything."
  443. >She smiles reassured by your words.
  444. >"Okay. I trust you."
  445. "Good."
  446. >She moves to the designated seat, with a slightly uncomfortable smile.
  447. >You clap your hands together.
  448. "Alright! We're all here. I'll get the game."
  449. >You walk back behind the bar, and duck underneath.
  450. "God please. If you exist, please. PLEASE. Just this one time, please don't take a dump on me."
  451. >You locate the game in question.
  452. >Dickholes, and dookiebutts.
  453. >Kidding.
  454. >A bright red dragon decorates the front battling a party of heroes.
  455. >You pick it up, and head back to the table, and set it down.
  456. >Lyra leans forward with an unamused look.
  457. >"AHEM."
  458. >You look to her confused, as Algie strokes his fake beard.
  459. "What."
  460. >"You're not gonna get dressed?"
  461. >Sunset looks at her, and you.
  462. >"Dressed? In what?"
  463. >Lyra smirks, and leans on her elbow.
  464. >"Oh in his Dungeon master garb. You can't be the only regular not dressed for the part right?"
  465. >You narrow your eyes at her.
  466. >"She has a point young Anonymous. The guild master must adorn the proper attire.
  467. >You squint your eyes, and duck face at Algie.
  468. >He chuckles.
  469. >That's code for "Shut the fuck up" with you two.
  470. >"I think I want to see it. Please put it on Anon?"
  471. >Your heart melts at Sunset's sweet smile.
  472. >It's like saying "I won't laugh" through sincere gesture.
  473. "...Okay. I'll be right back."
  474. >You head up the stairs as fast as you can, and to your room.
  475. >However, back in the basement-
  476. >Lyra slowly turns her head to Sunset.
  477. >"Why are you even here? Don't you have friends you need to be hanging with right now? This our place."
  478. >"Lyra..!"
  479. >Sunset frowns.
  480. >"I'm sorry. I don't mean to intrude. I just wanted to get to know Anon a little better.."
  481. >"And, you thought imposing on our game night was the way to go?"
  482. >"Lyra. Cut it out. You'll piss Anon off."
  483. >She holds a hand out to Algie, with an angry face.
  484. >"You feel the same Al! She wouldn't give us the time of day, any other time! She doesn't belong here!"
  485. >Sunset lowers her head, and folds her hands in her lap.
  486. >"You have your own group, and we have ours. Or, is this some sort of elaborate joke you're playing on the guy, to get popular? News flash honey. It won't work."
  487. >Algie facepalms.
  488. >Pip sits watching, not understanding what's going on.
  489. >"Are you trying that enslavement thing again? Different methods, same result. It won't WORK."
  490. >Sunset remains silent.
  491. >"Well? Why are you here? Why are you showing an interest in Anon? Can you give me a straight answer?"
  492. >Lyra is in Sunset's face now.
  493. >The tension in the room is unbearably thick. Thick like a hefty musk.
  494. >"I--I owe Anon a lot."
  495. >"Yeah? Like what?"
  496. >Sunset puts a hand on her heart.
  497. >"Everything."
  498. >Algie cocks an eye, stroking his fake beard again.
  499. >"Like wh-"
  500. "I'm back!"
  501. >You return to your friends, and lady in a baggy purple robe, and mask that makes your eyes look yellow.
  502. >You got the idea from the spook in the old batman comics.
  503. >Sunset grins.
  504. >"I like it. It screams spooky narrator!"
  505. >You blush underneath your mask.
  506. >The last compliment you got for this costume was "It's an improvement on your normal look".
  507. >That was from your dad.
  508. >You sit down, and begin setting things up.
  509. "Everybody got their character sheets ready?"
  510. >Everyone, sans Sunset whips out a folded paper.
  511. >"Character sheet?"
  512. >Lyra chuckles.
  513. >"You came here without a character sheet? What a pleb."
  514. >You glare at Lyra, who snorts, and looks away.
  515. >You take out a new sheet, and wave her over.
  516. "Come on. I'll help you fill one out."
  517. >She grins, and excitedly slides out of her chair.
  518. >Lyra narrows her eyes, looking off to the side with a pout.
  519. >Algie continues to stroke his beard.
  520. >It took a few minutes, but finally a sheet was crafted for Sunset.
  521. >She decided to be a human archer.
  522. >A little plain, but it's good for a newbie you suppose.
  523. >"CAN WE START NOW?"
  524. "Yes Lyra, let's get started."
  525. >Sunset is eyeing the setup of the mat, and pieces.
  526. >You hope she's enjoying herself.
  527. >You clear your throat.
  528. "You four adventurers, hired by a very wealthy aristocrat, were tasked with finding a specific item. This item is called the helmet of falsified truths, and-"
  529. >Sunset raises a hand.
  530. "Y-yeah?"
  531. >"Falsified truths? What is he going to do with something like that?"
  532. >Lyra glares at her.
  533. "You'll find out at the end."
  534. >She shrugs, and takes her jacket off.
  535. >Her shoulders..
  536. >Can a man get turned on by shoulders?
  537. >"AHEM."
  538. "Oh! right- and returning the artifact to the client. The four of you find yourselves in the local tavern."
  539. >Algie raises a finger.
  540. >"Can we talk to each other now?"
  541. "Uh..sure."
  542. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  543. >Be Sunset Archer.
  544. >Sensuous, smart, and skilled.
  545. >You, an elf girl priest, a cocky wizard, and a dwarven viking stand in the entryway of the "Cracked Barrel" tavern.
  546. >This feels odd. You've never roleplayed before.
  547. >Oh! Stay in character.
  548. >"So why is the arrow chick in this group? We can do much better than some lanky human."
  549. >The Elf priestess takes your arm, and lets it drop.
  550. "Because there's things only an archer can do big ears."
  551. >The elf gasps.
  552. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  553. >Lyra feels her ears.
  554. >"M-my ears aren't big!"
  555. >Sunset raises an eye.
  556. "It's just roleplay Lyra."
  557. >"Right! I k-knew that.."
  558. >Sunset leans down.
  559. >"I'm sorry, do you mind if I get comfy?"
  560. "Go for it."
  561. >She winks at you, as she takes her boots off.
  562. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  563. >The elf clears her throat.
  564. >"S-so, introductions aside, I say we gather information. The more we know of our target, the better."
  565. "But, what if no one knows anything? "
  566. >The wizard raises a hand.
  567. >"Let us not tary. To hesitate, will only waste valuable time. Perhaps a magic spell-"
  568. "No. Don't."
  569. >The wizard, and Elf look at you with quizzical expressions.
  570. >"Excuse me?"
  571. >"What?"
  572. >"GGGRR!"
  573. "We aren't from this town. It wouldn't be wise to go showing off spells in front of meek townsfolk. It would be best to gather information. Perhaps see if there are any treasure hunting guilds, or thieves guilds. Street rats are always privy to such things."
  574. >They all look to each other.
  575. >The wizard blinks, and smiles.
  576. >"Actually that's a good idea..!"
  577. >The elf crosses her arms.
  578. >"I was about to say that first."
  579. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  580. "HA-AAAH."
  581. >The table jumps in response to your outburst.
  582. >Everyone except Sunset, who sits with crossed arms, and a knowing smile.
  583. >"Are you okay Anon?"
  584. "i'M fINe."
  585. >You shudder.
  586. >Lyra looks at you concerned, while Algie cocks an eye.
  587. >"Are you sure? Your voice is cracking."
  588. "i'm SUre."
  589. >You tremble, trying your best to focus on the game.
  590. >It proves useless.
  591. >A foot playing with your groin tends to do that.
  592. >Sunset takes your slowly growing erection between her toes, and strokes up, and down.
  593. "PlEAsE. L-lEt'S KEEp GoInG..."
  594. >Her foot lightly presses against it, kicking lightly against the tip.
  595. >You gasp, and ball your fists.
  596. >Sunset Looks at the mat.
  597. >"So I want to speak to the bartender. I have the charisma trait right?"
  598. >You nod frantically.
  599. >How stealthily could you take it out, and get her to do this on bare-
  600. >"You have to roll right?"
  601. "U-uH...RigHT."
  602. >You gulp.
  603. >Her foot speeds up.
  604. >Lyra bangs a fist onto the table, quieting everyone.
  605. >She stands up, and rounds the table to your end, and picks you up by the arm.
  606. >"Games on pause. We need to talk."
  607. "What? Why? The games just started-"
  608. >You dragged from your seat, and up the steps by Lyra, as the others watch.
  609. >You're moved past the living room when your dad is sleeping in front of the tv in his recliner, to the kitchen.
  610. >She shoves you into the room with a scowl.
  611. "Lyra?! What the fuck?!"
  612. >"What the hell is wrong with YOU? Bringing her here? Acting like some lovesick puppet?"
  613. >She paces around with her arms out.
  614. >"She never spoke to you before now! Why are you even giving her the time of day?"
  615. "But, what about the rumour-"
  616. >"WHAT ABOUT IT? If she really liked you, this would've happened months ago, before that demon bitch thing she did!"
  617. >You roll your eyes, though she can't see it.
  618. "Are we still dwelling on that?"
  619. >"Hell yeah I am. I've been here from the beginning, being the shoulder you can cry on, or the ear you need to listen to you, and this is what happens? You go, and bring this power mad whore here?! Did she let you fuck her or something, for you to act like this?!?"
  620. >You put your hands behind your back.
  621. >"Oh my god. Did she take it?"
  622. "Wh-what?"
  623. >Lyra grabs you by the collar of your robe.
  624. >"DID SHE TAKE IT."
  625. "No! No! She didn't! Get off me!"
  626. >She pushes you back.
  627. >"In the span of one day, and one kiss, you've let this chickie come in, and ruin our circle. For what? A little pussy? To get some?"
  628. "What would you know? Maybe I actually like Sunset? What if that kiss we shared awoken feelings we had for each other?"
  629. >She starts to laugh, and puts a hand over her eyes.
  630. >"That's all it took? Do you know how stupid you sound?"
  631. >You take the mask off.
  632. "Why? Why does it sound stupid? Why is it so hard to understand I like a girl? Did you think I was gay or something?!"
  633. >She grabs your robe again.
  634. >"What I don't understand, is why it's not ME."
  635. >Your eyes widen.
  636. >Your mouth opens, and closes a few times.
  637. "I-I didn't know-"
  638. >"Yeah. well way to go stud."
  639. >She turns and walks towards the front door.
  640. "Lyra wait..can't we talk about this?"
  641. >Lyra stops with her hand on the door knob.
  642. >"Answer two questions for me."
  643. "Okay.."
  644. >"Name one thing you know about her personally."
  645. "She-"
  646. >You try to think.
  647. >"Tell me where she lives."
  648. "Well I don't know that! I just-"
  649. >"Wanted to get your dick wet. Right?"
  650. "That's not it at all! It just kinda happened.."
  651. >She shakes her head at you, and opens the door, heading outside.
  652. "Lyra. Come on!"
  653. >"You just want her because of what-? She told people that you two were dating?"
  654. "It's not just that-"
  655. >Did she tell you why she's telling people that?"
  656. "She said she can't tell me yet."
  657. >"AND, THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU SUSPICIOUS?!"
  658. >Lyra grits her teeth, and walks down the porch steps tearing her costume off in anger.
  659. "It did! It does!"
  660. >She stops, and turns around with a fierce glare.
  661. >"So that's why you're already holding hands with her after knowing her for ONE day?"
  662. >You rub the back of your head.
  663. "It's just...it feels like we've known each other forever. I feel like I can trust her.."
  664. >Lyra marches back to you, and gets in your face noses to nose.
  665. >"I've known you forever, and I don't get a second look. She does it, and kisses you, and now she's your soul mate. Does that sound fair?"
  666. "No. It doesn't."
  667. >"You're an idiot."
  668. >She starts walking off again.
  669. "Oh come the fuck on Lyra! Give me a break!"
  670. >She begins to head away from your house, tattered costume in hand.
  671. >You slap your head, and groan.
  672. >You hate drama.
  673. >But, more than anything-
  674. "She has a point."
  675. >You shuffle to the porch, and perch on the steps, looking up into the sky.
  676. "I asked you not to take a dump on me..Shit."
  677. >"Who's doing what on you?"
  678. >The door opens, with a creak, as a familiar red, and yellow haired girl, steps out.
  679. "Hey."
  680. >She closes the door, slowly behind her, and joins you on the steps.
  681. >You sit the in silence.
  682. >"I'm sorry."
  683. >She rests her head on your arm.
  684. "It's not your fault. Lyra can be a jerk sometimes."
  685. >Sunset sighs.
  686. >I'm sorry for being so secretive also. I want to tell you everything, but-"
  687. "But, you can't right? That's what I don't get. Why?"
  688. >Sunset hugs her arms.
  689. >"I just can't Anon. I'm sorry."
  690. >You blow out your lips, and look up again.
  691. >Lyra makes a good case, the more you think about it.
  692. >"Anon..?"
  693. "Yeah?"
  694. >She rests her chin on your shoulder.
  695. >"How long have you known Lyra?"
  696. >You out the knuckle of your index under your nose.
  697. "Wow. It's been a while."
  698. >"Like childhood friends?"
  699. "No. Not that long. It's been about six years? I've known her since 5th grade. It was around when my mom died."
  700. >Sunset doesn't flinch, or react to that last bit of news.
  701. "She was there for me as confidant, and just all around support. She was actually the one who got me into gaming. She came over one day with an old Atari, and Halloween the game. She has this big goofy grin, and says "Hey Anon! Let's play! This game is awful!"."
  702. >You feel her smile.
  703. "So that's how it was. She'd come by with some shit game, and an old as dirt console, and tell me to play it with her, and soon she became one of my best friends."
  704. >Sunset hugs your arms.
  705. >"Do you love her?"
  706. >Your eyes quiver.
  707. "I..Do. I think I do."
  708. >Sunset's hold gets a little tighter.
  709. "But, I get something with you too. A feeling strong enough to explore it. Find out why it's like this."
  710. >She smiles into your bicep.
  711. >"Are you sure? You might not like what you find."
  712. "The journey is worth it I suppose. I want to ask one question though."
  713. >"Can I answer it?"
  714. "I think so. Where do you live?"
  715. >Sunset is quiet for a moment.
  716. >"Do you want to see?"
  717. >Like she has to ask.
  718. "Of course I do!"
  719. >"I'm sure you want to see for a different reason~"
  720. >Lyra's face comes to mind..
  721. "About that Sunset, uh..I can't do anything.."dirty" with you for a while."
  722. >She backs away looking at you.
  723. >"Why not? What's the problem?"
  724. "I want to know there's a reason behind all of this-"
  725. >"There is a reason-"
  726. "One you can't tell me though."
  727. >She sighs.
  728. >"I'm really sorry about that."
  729. "It's fine. It just means I get to know everything about you again."
  730. >Sunset flinches.
  731. >You feel her heat up, and hug you tighter.
  732. >"S-so..You want to walk me halfway home?"
  733. "Sure. Let me get out of this outfit first."
  734. >"Can I watch?"
  735. >You chuckle, as you slide out of her arms, and head inside, while she waits outside.
  736. >Her smile quickly turns to a frown.
  737. >"You didn't even realize it yourself did you Anon?"
  738. >She puts her head in her hands.
  739. >"You said "Again"."
  740. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  741. >Algie sits still stroking his fake beard.
  742. >"Hey Al."
  743. >Pip pokes Algie in the ribs.
  744. >"Are they coming back?"
  745. >Algie continues to stroke the phony facial fur.
  746. >"My name is Gamaron."
  747. ~~
  748. >So that's how the night ended.
  749. >You walked Sunset halfway home, after one of the worst game nights ever.
  750. >All because, you chose to indulge a reformed school bully.
  751. >You don't regret it though.
  752. >It's been mentioned, but the affection is real.
  753. >Yeah. It's real...right?
  754. >Lyra's words did stir a little doubt in you, but it can be remedied.
  755. >But, what about Lyra?
  756. >You made it back home without any incident aside from a few Mosquito bites, to find Algie, and Pip gone as well.
  757. >You'll have to make it up to them both, but first things first.
  758. >It was difficult to sleep, with with the varying changes of emotions, and thoughts running through your mind.
  759. >BRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG.
  760. >Your eyes slowly open.
  761. >They feel baggy, like you slept, but didn't sleep.
  762. >Your hand fumbles around the alarm, knocking it off its position on the dresser.
  763. >You stare up at the ceiling, and take a deep breath.
  764. >You sit up, and slide your feet over the side, allowing your feet to feet to get accustomed to the cold carpet.
  765. >Getting up sluggishly you shuffle to the bathroom, and look yourself in the mirror.
  766. "Welcome to your future Anon. Can tell I'll be doing this a lot.."
  767. >The bathroom's a mess. Your dad goes to work early in the morning, and always leaves things a wreck.The fucking pig.
  768. >You still love your pop though.
  769. >Details of your bathroom activities will be excluded. It gets pretty nasty in there.
  770. >You move back into your room still stressed, and look at the fallen alarm.
  771. "6:45. Still got time."
  772. >You slowly get dressed, running today's plans through your mind at school. Well, for one you definitely would like some more information on what Sunset has told her friends. Just...you have to do it without her knowing.
  773. >It's not underhanded to do such a thing is it?
  774. "Nah. I have a right to know..Maybe Rainbow can clue me in.."
  775. >You're talking to yourself. You're more tired than you thought.
  776. >You get dressed, and head to the kitchen.
  777. >Well you have a plan to go on as far as Sunset goes.
  778. >You root through the cupboards, wanting to eat cereal out of a bowl for the sake of hunger satiation.
  779. "Heh."
  780. >You find a nice, solid white bowl.
  781. >The kind you see in Cereal commercials.
  782. >It's kind of stupid to do, but why the fuck not?
  783. >You take out a box, and look around.
  784. >Not sure why you're doing this. You're in the house alone.
  785. >You clear your throat, and grab a box of Honeycombs.
  786. >Yeah. They still make it.
  787. "Come to the honeycomb hideout! I'm Mr. Bigg, and I'm tired of small cereals! Gimme something with a BIIIIIG BIG bite!"
  788. >You start pouring it in.
  789. "Honeybomb kids! Yeah yeah yeah! It's not small no no no! Honeycomb's got a big big bite-"
  790. >"Snrk."
  791. >You nearly shit yourself at the restrained snort of the intruder.
  792. >You whip around to the source, and find the gamer girl who's been on your mind all night, leaning against the doorframe.
  793. "LYRA!"
  794. >She waves her hands dramtically.
  795. >"Dun dun duuuun."
  796. >You clutch your chest.
  797. >"You're so jumpy! Why is it so easy to scare you?"
  798. >She skips in, and sits at your table.
  799. >"By the way, get a keychain. Putting it under the welcome mat is so cliché."
  800. >You pant hard, with a hand against your face.
  801. "I'd ask why you broke in, but this is the kind of shit you do."
  802. >She smiles.
  803. >You settle down, and continue on with completing your breakfast.
  804. "You want a bowl?"
  805. >"I'm good. I actually wanted to talk to you."
  806. >You nod, while ducked in the fridge.
  807. "Explains why there's no game system in your hands right now."
  808. >She smacks her lips, resting her arm on the chair backrest.
  809. >"Okay, I get it. You may be a little pissed about yesterday."
  810. >You return to the table with milk, and bowl in hand.
  811. "I'm not pissed Lyra. I get how you feel."
  812. >"You do?"
  813. >You sit down, and slide in.
  814. "I guess."
  815. >She crosses her legs.
  816. >"Look. If you want to date other girls, that's fine."
  817. >Her fist clenches.
  818. >"But,...uhm..I uh.."
  819. >You started eating while listening to her.
  820. >She exhales.
  821. "But..?"
  822. >"I wanted to ask you.."
  823. >She lowers her head, and shakes, with closed eyes.
  824. "Lyra, what's wrong?"
  825. >She runs both hands through her hair.
  826. >"I'm gonna be honest. I'm not cool with you dating Sunset."
  827. "Why not? What's the problem?"
  828. >She folds her hands together.
  829. >"I know I don't have much room to complain. I gave signs, and they may not have been obvious enough, so it's to be expected someone else would catch your eye."
  830. "Then what's the problem?"
  831. >"What I want to say is..Damn. This is hard."
  832. >You stop eating.
  833. "Lyra, just spit it out. What's wrong?"
  834. >"What am I to you?"
  835. >She inhales, and exhales deeply.
  836. >Whoa.
  837. >You place your palms on the table.
  838. "This is one helluva question to ask at seven in the morning."
  839. >"I know..It's just I..I don't know. Seeing you holding HER hand of all people. It got to me. I didn't know how to react."
  840. >You told Sunset you loved Lyra last night. As what though?
  841. "I don't suppose I could get back to you on this huh?"
  842. >"Anon. C'mon. I was up all night thinking about this, and from the looks of you, you were too."
  843. "You got me there."
  844. >She got you there.
  845. >"So tell me."
  846. >You find your finger tapping against the table deep in thought.
  847. "I..I don't know how to answer that question honestly Lyra."
  848. >"Okay then. Do you even LIKE me?"
  849. "Of course-"
  850. >"Not as a friend stupid. I mean, like if you-That is to say-"
  851. >She coughs.
  852. "Would I do you, and call you afterwards unironically?"
  853. >She blushes, and scowls.
  854. >"Do you have to be so matter-of-factly about it?"
  855. >You shrug.
  856. "It's a situation where neither of us can be blunt.."
  857. >You stare into your bowl.
  858. >Lyra uncrosses, and recrosses her legs, putting her hands in her lap, looking away.
  859. >The mood couldn't be any more tense.
  860. >"I'm sorry for putting you on the spot."
  861. >You sigh.
  862. "It's no different from any other day."
  863. >"Whatever."
  864. >You both awkwardly chuckle.
  865. >"This sucks."
  866. "Yeah."
  867. >You rub your eyes with your forefinger, and thumb.
  868. "How would this even work? We know so much about each other, it's creepy. Would it complicate things...? All that stuff."
  869. >She gives you a quizzical look.
  870. >"That's...that's a good question. We could try, and go out.."
  871. >She shrugs looking off to the side.
  872. "We already go out though."
  873. >"Like a couple imbecile."
  874. "Uh..right."
  875. >What would that mean for Sunset?
  876. >It's not like you two are exclusive, and she may be swaying you towards her because she sucked you off.
  877. >Lyra deserves a fair chance right?
  878. "Yeah. Maybe we can give it a shot."
  879. >"It'll be a little weird."
  880. "It'll be VERY weird."
  881. >"Don't be so pessimistic."
  882. >She smiles sweetly.
  883. >If there was one thing you could give Lyra, it was always that smile. And those golden eyes of hers.
  884. >Okay two things.
  885. >She gets out of her seat, and walks over to you.
  886. "What are you doing?"
  887. >"Shut up. I wanna see something."
  888. >She cups your cheeks in her hands.
  889. >The difference between her, and Sunset is unbelievably apparent in terms of touch, but neither of them are uncomfortable to say the least.
  890. >Where Sunset has smooth delicate hands, Lyra's are more firm, and cool.
  891. >She looks into your eyes, with a neutral expression.
  892. "Are you about to eat my face?"
  893. >"Something like that."
  894. >She closes the space, and lands one right on your lips, much to your surprise.
  895. >Well..Not really. You knew it was coming.
  896. >She closes her eyes, the scent of the ocean entering your nose.
  897. >When did this become a cheesy romance novel scene?
  898. >When did you start kissing back?
  899. >Loud smacking noises resulting from the liplock, sound off across the kitchen walls, as the two of you compete to be the one with armed with the most passion.
  900. >She kisses your upper lip a few times, before breaking off.
  901. >"........"
  902. "......."
  903. >You breathe hard.
  904. >How is it possible that Lyra has your heart beating even harder, than Sunset?
  905. >Were you missing out all these years?
  906. >She licks her lips.
  907. >"I think I do want a bowl of honeycombs after all."
  908. >She releases your face, and roots through your cupboards.
  909. >You're left sitting there with soggy cereal, and soggy pants.
  910. >You hold your hands up.
  911. "Mind telling me what that was all about?"
  912. >"Ooh! This is one of those good bowls."
  913. >She holds the bowl up like the legend of zelda.
  914. "Lyra. What was that? FUCK."
  915. >Not sure why you said that last word. Seemed appropriate. Sometimes you just gotta let a fuck out or two.
  916. >"Uhh. Just wanted to see how weird it'd feel to kiss you."
  917. "And, you couldn't ask?!"
  918. >"What are you, gay?"
  919. >You frown, while she takes the box of cereal.
  920. "You don't have to be gay to know, that can complicate things Lyra."
  921. >"Not really. What's so complicated about it? It was just a little kiss Anon. No need to get your panties in a knot."
  922. >If only she could feel for one moment, the pain coursing through your loins.
  923. >"Anyway, what are you doing on Friday night?"
  924. "What's today?"
  925. >"Thursday."
  926. "Nothing yet."
  927. >"Good. Keep it clear. I got this system in the mail, and I want to bring it over."
  928. >The way she's treating this as if nothing happened is kind of bothering you.
  929. >You stand up, and pour your cereal into the sink, with trembling hands. You're not bothered by the fact she kissed you. You're bothered by how badly you suddenly want her.
  930. "I knew this was gonna get weird..fucking hormones."
  931. >A little lip service, and you could jackhammer a fucking slab of solid obsidian in half with your dick.
  932. >You lean over the sink, rubbing your face more.
  933. >You have to get away.
  934. "What time is it..Time.."
  935. >You look at the clock on the microwave.
  936. >7:08.
  937. >School doesn't start until eight-thirty.
  938. >You look over your shoulder to Lyra, who stares at you with lowered, eyes while eating.
  939. >"You okay there sailor?"
  940. "So how weird did it feel?"
  941. >She puts a finger on her chin.
  942. >"Ehh. Not as bad as I thought. seven out of ten."
  943. "You're handling this awfully well."
  944. >She shrugs.
  945. >"You know me. Cool as a cucumber."
  946. "Except for last night."
  947. >"Last night was noncanon."
  948. "You can't just say that."
  949. >"I just did!"
  950. >You go back to the table, and sit down sighing.
  951. "So...uh...when did you...you know....?"
  952. >"What? When did I what?"
  953. "Decided you wanted some vitamin A?"
  954. >She breaks out into a loud guffaw.
  955. >"Keep using lines like that stud. It's sure to get you all the ladies."
  956. "Just answer it."
  957. >She smirks.
  958. >"Nah. I don't think I will."
  959. "Oh you-"
  960. >"There's no point in answering it. Why do you need to know that?"
  961. >You're just making conversation...shit.
  962. >She downs the last bit of her cereal, and sits the bowl on the table.
  963. >"Welp. Time to go to school for a healthy, and enriching day of education!"
  964. "Put your bowl in the sink."
  965. >"Put it in there for me?"
  966. >She tries to make cute, and bats her eyes at you.
  967. "Fuck that noise. I support the feminist cause, you don't need a man to do your work."
  968. >She groans, and turns around facing you.
  969. >She unbuttons her pants, and-
  970. >Oh.
  971. "Fuck those femnazis! I'll do anything you want!"
  972. >"Thought so."
  973. >A whip cracks in the distance.
  974. >One embarrassing moment later, and it was time for the two of you to set out.
  975. >Now that you have a clear head, and the prospect of getting some ass fading from your mind, you realize that you can't keep handling things like this.
  976. >Being a teen is rough.
  977. >Lyra stays close to you, looking straight ahead.
  978. >What's on her mind?
  979. >You almost feel inclined to ask-
  980. >"Hey. You need to calm down boy. You're thinking too much."
  981. >You shake your head quickly.
  982. "What are you even tal-"
  983. >You make weird faces when you're deep in thought. Like someone put poop under your nose."
  984. >She laughs, and you roll your eyes.
  985. >"So what do you want to know? Penny for your thoughts."
  986. "My thoughts are worth more than that."
  987. >"Whatever helps you sleep at night. So spill it."
  988. >You rub the back of your head.
  989. "What...what was that back there?"
  990. >Lyra looks up at the sky.
  991. >"A prelude."
  992. "To what exactly?"
  993. >"To us, numbnuts!"
  994. "And what exactly does that include? We just talked about it, and kissed a little. That's not much to go on."
  995. >Lyra smacks her lips, and speeds up.
  996. "What? What did I say?!"
  997. >"You're overcomplicating things. Just go with the flow!"
  998. "What about Sunset?"
  999. >Lyra stops abruptly, turning around.
  1000. >"What about her?"
  1001. "I can't just tell her that, I'm with you all of a sudden. It wouldn't be right!"
  1002. >"Ugh. Why are boys so complicated! Look, just come here okay?"
  1003. >You hold your hands up, not sure what she wants, but you comply.
  1004. >She takes your left hand, and interlocks her fingers with yours.
  1005. >She holds your embraced hands together for you to see.
  1006. >"Walk with me, and look pretty. Can you do that for me stud?"
  1007. "But wh-"
  1008. >"HUMOR ME."
  1009. >She pulls you along, as the two of you hold hands together heading towards school.
  1010. >She was always the pushy, impulsive type, but damn.
  1011. >She's so aggressive.
  1012. >What's worse is, you kinda like it.
  1013. >It's a weird thing about strong women, that turns you on.
  1014. >Don't tell anyone, but you get wood from Amanda Waller.
  1015. >She loops your arms together, walking closely alongside you, like Sunset does.
  1016. >"So.."
  1017. >You look down at a tuft of minty hair, blocking your view of her face.
  1018. >"How does this feel?"
  1019. "It feels nice."
  1020. >She gives you a little playful punch in the stomach, that makes you grunt.
  1021. >"You could try being romantic, sailor.."
  1022. "Before school Lyra? Have some shame."
  1023. >She chuckles, and sighs.
  1024. >"Say..uh.."
  1025. "Hm?"
  1026. >You feel her fingers squeeze your hand a little more.
  1027. >"Can we stay like this...just until we get to school?"
  1028. >You grin.
  1029. "Sure."
  1030. >In a short while, your world has been turned upside down, by the emergence of one girl. One you feel as if you known for a long time, and the other one you've actually known for a long time.
  1031. >It's exciting. It's new, and fresh, but it also fills you with lament.
  1032. >You know you can't make both of them happy.
  1033. >Lyra and,Sunset knows this.
  1034. >Being a teen is hard.
  1035. >The familiar horse statue of Canterlot comes into view, along with the various students arriving for the same reason as you.
  1036. >To do absolutely nothing, and deal with Teen Drama.
  1037. >Lyra's head slowly moves upright.
  1038. >"Well. Here we are."
  1039. "Yep."
  1040. >She slowly releases your arm, but keeps hold of your hand.
  1041. >"Look uh..I'm really sorry. I know I can be a bit of a jerk, and bossy.."
  1042. "A bit?"
  1043. >"Shut up."
  1044. >You smile.
  1045. >She mirrors your smile with one of her own.
  1046. >"I'll call you tonight okay? I'd like to talk a little more about this."
  1047. "Of course. But, why tonight? We have lunch together, and Social Studies."
  1048. >She facepalms.
  1049. >"You're so stupid. A girl comes out with her feelings, embarrassing herself, and the first thing you ask is "Durr, why do you want to talk later? Why not now hurr durr". C'mon Anon!"
  1050. >You chuckle.
  1051. "You're embarrassed? Like typical Japanese schoolgirl romance embarrassed?"
  1052. >She puffs her cheeks out.
  1053. >"サボテン、コック吸盤の上に座る行く."
  1054. >You recoil a little.
  1055. "Wut."
  1056. >"Heh. My moonspeak is a little off, but I think I got my point across."
  1057. "Uh..Ching chong, bing bong gozirra to you too, I guess."
  1058. >She rolls her eyes.
  1059. >"Oh yeah baby. Talk dirty to me. My panties are a sponge right now."
  1060. "You don't wear pan-"
  1061. >"Shut. Up."
  1062. >She gives you a playful shove, and backwards walks, before turning around, and walking ahead of you.
  1063. "Heh. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad."
  1064. >Being with Lyra never feels awkward. You just back, and forth so naturally.
  1065. >Even when it felt like it might get awkward, she pulled you back.
  1066. >Maybe it was a long time coming?
  1067. >You didn't realize you lost sight of Lyra, by the time you snap out of your thoughts.
  1068. >Students walk around you, as you stand at the base of the horse statue of Canterlot high.
  1069. "What is this horse even supposed to signify?"
  1070. >You shake your head.
  1071. >Two hands cover your eyes, making you jump.
  1072. >"Guess who!"
  1073. "Uh...Rainbow Dash?"
  1074. >"Hah. Jerk."
  1075. >Sunset whirls into your vision with a smile.
  1076. >Good morning. Are you excited?"
  1077. "Is it Taco Tuesday?"
  1078. >A blue girl passing by stops, and stares with a vacant expression.
  1079. >"Keep walking doofus."
  1080. >A purple girl with Pigtails pushes her on.
  1081. >"No. You're coming by my place today. Remember?"
  1082. "....Oh..OH! Right!"
  1083. >She crosses her arms, and the two of you start heading towards the building together.
  1084. >"Did you forget already?"
  1085. "No..I was just a little distracted.."
  1086. >She frowns slightly knowingly.
  1087. >"I see. I'm sorry."
  1088. "Not your fault."
  1089. >She gently bumps into you.
  1090. >"It makes me sad knowing you're not happy though."
  1091. "That's nice of you."
  1092. >She smiles, and opens the door for you.
  1093. >"After you."
  1094. "Such a gentlewoman."
  1095. >"It's a new age Anon. Girl power, and all that."
  1096. "Ha. I know someone who could learn a lesson from you."
  1097. >"I know several that could learn from you."
  1098. >She winks, and follows you in, locking arms.
  1099. >The second time today for you.
  1100. >"Look. There's the girls right now."
  1101. >She points to her five friends standing near the bulletin board, chatting with each other.
  1102. >You feel a little awkward, approaching them with Sunset attached to you.
  1103. >Aside from occasionally talking with Dash, who happens to be a Ring of Honor fan like you, you don't know anything about them.
  1104. >Okay, let's get it out of the way.
  1105. >Watching wrestling, 2014 blah blah blah.
  1106. >Ring of honor is a man's version of wrasslin!
  1107. >"Girls! Hey!"
  1108. >They all turn in response, and smile at the two of you.
  1109. >"Look at the happy couple! How're you two today darling?"
  1110. >Rarity. The school's gossip, and top fashionista.
  1111. >If you plan to get some information, who better to start at?
  1112. >"Do you two have to be so lovey-dovey this early in the morning? It's gross!"
  1113. >Rainbow Dash puts a finger in her mouth.
  1114. "E-ehehe..."
  1115. >You put a hand behind your head, and laugh.
  1116. >"You okay?"
  1117. >You gulp as Sunset gives you a little shake.
  1118. "I-I'm good. I just need to head to the bathroom."
  1119. >"Oh! Okay."
  1120. >She reluctantly let's you go, as you do your best to leave the group as normally as possible.
  1121. >You put your head down, as you walk away.
  1122. >Despite having Sunset in your corner, interacting with her friends doesn't feel any less uneasy.
  1123. >Too popular to be considered one of the nerds, because you can talk to people without nerding out, despite your interests.
  1124. >Too nerdy to be popular, because of your interests.
  1125. >That's you. The halfy.
  1126. >You enter the men's room, and stand near a sink.
  1127. "What was that shit even? Suddenly getting all meek like some weird anime kid."
  1128. >"Scruffy thinks you're being taken out of your comfort zone, and introduced to something new, and it makes you feel out of sorts."
  1129. >You jump, and turn around.
  1130. >One of the bathroom stalls slowly opens up, revealing the janitor sitting on the toilet with his push broom nearby.
  1131. "....Are you following me?"
  1132. >"Nope. Scruffy is reading the story too. Mmhm."
  1133. "What did you say?"
  1134. >"Scruffy thinks you shouldn't rush into something ya aren't ready for, because of how good it looks to the eyes. Otherwise, you end up hurting yourself, and others. Mmhm."
  1135. >You look left, and right with wide eyes.
  1136. "Uhm...Okay?"
  1137. >"Mhm."
  1138. "Well, hey! Thanks for the info...uh..enjoy whatever it is you're doing right now, and uh-I gotta get to class!"
  1139. >"Mhm."
  1140. >You shuffle out of the bathroom still watching him.
  1141. >You played outlast. You never trust guys hanging out in small rooms.
  1142. >You ease out of the bathroom, and sigh.
  1143. >You see Sunset still talking with her friends.
  1144. >Rainbow, and AJ are absent at the moment.
  1145. >Fluttershy is handing flyers out for her pet lover's club nearby.
  1146. >Pinkie looks like she's having a blast. Then again, she always looks like that.
  1147. >You take a deep breath.
  1148. "Here goes nothing."
  1149. >You head back to the now smaller group, with a forced smile.
  1150. >What could John Holmes back there, possibly know about your life?
  1151. >If you want to get to know Sunset better, start with her friends after all.
  1152. >She notices your delayed arrival, with a jovial, beaming smirk.
  1153. >"You're back? Everything okay?"
  1154. >She takes your hand in hers once you get close.
  1155. "Everything's just fine, and dandy."
  1156. >"Fine, and dandy? Who still says things like that? Hee hee! *snort*"
  1157. >Oh god. Here comes the Linguine!
  1158. >You shut your eyes, as if pasta is going to shoot from your pockets.
  1159. >"Oh he's got an old soul Pinkie dear. Nothing wrong with that! It just means he's accustomed to the finer things in life! I can respect a man who's "refined"."
  1160. >Rarity smiles at you.
  1161. >"Heehee. And, he's all mine."
  1162. >Sunset hugs your arm.
  1163. "Y-yeah."
  1164. >"You're such a cute couple! You have to tell me! How did you meet? Besides the rainy night, he happened across you cold, and shivering-"
  1165. >Your head starts to hurt a little.
  1166. >"Wh-why talk about something silly like that? What matters is that we're together now! Right Anon?"
  1167. >"But, your tale was so beautiful, and romantic! There you were, cold, and shivering mere moments after arriving in our world. Not sure where to start, or to do with yourself, and then Anon came along while walking home from the convenience store with a bag full of goodies, and selflessly offered her some. It was right out of a novel!"
  1168. >"Awww! That's so cute!"
  1169. >You get dizzy hearing more of the story.
  1170. >It sound familiar, and yet you've never heard this before.
  1171. "Wait..When was-"
  1172. >"Rarity!"
  1173. >You wobble a little bit, and touch your forehead.
  1174. >Where is this queasy feeling coming from?
  1175. >"Rarity. Please stop talking. Please."
  1176. >"Whatever is the problem darling? Is recounting the tale of your meeting that unsettling?"
  1177. >Pinkie points to you.
  1178. >"Hey Nonnykins! You're looking a little green under the gills!"
  1179. "Wha--who was..?"
  1180. >"Shit."
  1181. >You fall back, without even noticing it, hitting the ground with a loud thud, and black out.
  1182. >You think Sunset called your name out. You're not sure.
  1183. >Just so much pain..
  1184. >Like your brain is trying to recall something, but it's being ordered not to.
  1185. >What is Sunset hiding from you?
  1186. >You feel your body shaking, but you can't move.
  1187. >Numerous hands touching your head, and cheeks, as you lay there with rolled back eyes.
  1188. >Are you dying?
  1189. >Terror quickly rushes to the surface of your prone body, but you can't scream.
  1190. >"Get him to the nurse's station. Be careful."
  1191. >Who's voice is that?
  1192. >You cough.
  1193. >"Is he gonna be okay? What happened to him?"
  1194. >That's Sunset.
  1195. >You hear other multiple voices talk around you.
  1196. >You feel so tired. Guess you're getting that rest after all.
  1197. >Like a feather. You feel like a feather right now. Floating away.
  1198. >Rain is falling. Hitting the ground like falling glass bits.
  1199. "Just had to have his fucking hot pockets. Fat bastard."
  1200. >You're talking, but not by your own will. It's like watching a video from your eyes.
  1201. >You keep your umbrella hoisted high above your head.
  1202. >It's football night, and when that happens the fat turd won't move from his armchair.
  1203. >Anon! Go get me some snacks! Here's a twenty! Get yourself something with what's left.
  1204. "Whoopee! A whole three fucking dollars. Big spending! Here I come."
  1205. >You're talking to yourself, but it's too dark, and raining too hard for anyone out to listen.
  1206. >Assuming anyone is as stupid as you, or bred from a sports Gestapo.
  1207. >This feels familiar.
  1208. >You move the bag to your side, and continue forward.
  1209. >A dark form ahead of you heads down the same street.
  1210. "Oh boy. This looks like some silent hill bullshit. Pass."
  1211. >You slow down, and let them get ahead.
  1212. >Horror movie protagonists could learn something from your vast wisdom.
  1213. >The figure begins to slow down.
  1214. >You're still a ways away from your house, you really don't want to get mugged.
  1215. >You slow down as well.
  1216. >They still don't know you're behind them.
  1217. "Just hurry up, and go away...! Shit.."
  1218. >You're not gonna speed up.
  1219. >If they slow down, you'll do the same.
  1220. >The figure does like you thought, and slows down more.
  1221. >You do the same again.
  1222. >They fall to the ground.
  1223. >You do as we-
  1224. "OH SHIT!"
  1225. >Okay, now it's serious. You forget about the danger of getting mugged, and rush over to the downed person.
  1226. >They lay face first on the sidewalk, heavy rain crashing down on them.
  1227. >You hold the Umbrella over them, and take the mystery person in your arms.
  1228. >It's a girl.
  1229. >Red, and yellow two-tone hair lay across her face, her eyes partially closed.
  1230. >She looks ill, and lifeless.
  1231. "Hey..can you hear me? Are you okay? What's your name?"
  1232. >Hey blue eyes sluggishly slide over to your face.
  1233. >"S-sunset.."
  1234. "Sunset."
  1235. "Sunset!"
  1236. >Your eyes shoot open.
  1237. >The smell of alcohol pervades your senses, and you're covered in warmth.
  1238. >It's a blanket. Duh.
  1239. >You sit up, and take a deep breath.
  1240. >What was that? Did you dream of that, because Rarity said it?
  1241. >You should've gotten more sleep last night.
  1242. >You can see someone behind the curtain writing at a desk.
  1243. >You slide out of the bed and make your way around to the medical station.
  1244. >The Nurse, Redheart is filling out an incident report, with focused eyes.
  1245. "Excuse me.."
  1246. >She gasps a little, and looks up.
  1247. >"Anonymous! You're awake."
  1248. >You rub the back of your head.
  1249. "Yeah. It's me."
  1250. >"Please sit down. I'd like to have a word with you."
  1251. >You gulp, as her hand is held out to a seat next to her desk.
  1252. >You take it, hoping she doesn't plan to use any needles on you.
  1253. >"She clears her throat, and turns to you with crossed legs.
  1254. >"So, according to what I was told, you fainted near the bulletin board at the main entrance? Care to tell me what happened from your end?"
  1255. >You fold your hands together, and shrug.
  1256. "I was talking to some kids, and I passed out. Nothing more to say."
  1257. >"Mhm."
  1258. >She takes a clipboard with the incident report on it, and starts scribbling down notes.
  1259. >"Have you been eating right? Getting enough sleep?"
  1260. "Eating, yeah. As for sleep, I have besides last night."
  1261. >Her eyebrow slowly cocks.
  1262. >"What happened last night?"
  1263. >You blush, and chuckle. bashfully.
  1264. "Girl problems."
  1265. >She sets the clipboard on her lap, and rests her hands upon it.
  1266. >"That Sunset girl right? I may be an adult, but I do keep my ear to the ground Anonymous. Has she "done" anything to you?"
  1267. >You slowly scowl.
  1268. "What exactly do you mean?"
  1269. >"Has she cast any..er.."Magic" on you?"
  1270. "What?! No! She's not that kind of person!"
  1271. >"I hate to bring up past incidents, but she did try to enslave the school once before Anonymous, as preposterous as it'd sound to anyone outside of Canterlot high. We all know magic exists, and that she has knowledge of it. Is it possible she could have have cast a spell on you at some point within meeting her?"
  1272. "No! I'd notice!"
  1273. >"Would you? Are you absolutely sure?"
  1274. "Yes! Sunset doesn't need to use magic on me! I have nothing she could use in her favor, that she couldn't get from someone else."
  1275. >Redheart nods.
  1276. >She takes a deep breath.
  1277. >"Do you perhaps know anything that could possibly be used against her? A secret or anything of that sort?"
  1278. "No..I don't think so."
  1279. >Redheart looks at you clearly unconvinced.
  1280. >"Okay."
  1281. "Okay?"
  1282. >"You seem to be in good health, so I'm going to send you to class. I'm going to speak to Celestia, and see about having you come in once a week for a health evaluation, until I deem you fit to stop."
  1283. "What? Why? Can you do that? This isn't a doctor's office-"
  1284. >"No, but I am a licensed medical care aide."
  1285. >Oh this is bullshit.
  1286. >Why did you have to faint?!
  1287. >She writes out an excuse, and hands it over with a smile.
  1288. >"See you next week Anonymous."
  1289. >You smack your lips, and take the paper.
  1290. >"Have a nice day."
  1291. >You say nothing, as you leave the office, and step out into the empty hallway.
  1292. >What time is it? You don't even know what period it is.
  1293. >"Mnnh.."
  1294. >You look to your right, to see Lyra sitting on the floor outside, back pressed up against the wall, hugging her legs.
  1295. >She's asleep.
  1296. >You can't help, but smile.
  1297. "How anime girlish,
  1298. >You kneel down, and shake her gently.
  1299. "Lyra. Hey Lyra. Wake up."
  1300. >"Mngh? Huh?"
  1301. >A trail of drool goes from her cheek to her ear.
  1302. >How did she even get it to go that direction, sleeping with her head DOWN?
  1303. >She sleepily looks up at you, and blinks a few times.
  1304. >"Oh. Anon. You out?"
  1305. >She stands up, wiping her face, and dusting her clothes off.
  1306. "That's all I get? No leaping into my arms with tear filled eyes?"
  1307. >She "psh's" at you.
  1308. >"Don't be weird dude. I'm not gonna act like some fanfiction writer's personal canon portrayal."
  1309. >.........
  1310. "S-so what are you doing here?"
  1311. >"I heard you fainted like Peter Parker from Ultimate Spider-man. So I came-"
  1312. "Running?"
  1313. >"-at a brisk pace."
  1314. >You grumble.
  1315. >"Oh stop being a baby. I'm here right? You could have had Algie down here instead. He wanted to come."
  1316. >You grumble again.
  1317. >"I remembered how you hated when the dudes would visit your hotel room on Tales of Symphonia, so-"
  1318. >She holds her arms out.
  1319. >" Ta-da!"
  1320. "What would I do without you? Lucky me."
  1321. >"Probably be some weird self-insert story about a human in some horse land."
  1322. >What?
  1323. >You look at her with a raised eye.
  1324. "I don't know half of the shit that comes out your mouth sometimes."
  1325. >"It's verbal ear sex."
  1326. "Nevermind. I know what it is. Diarrhea."
  1327. >She pushes your shoulder.
  1328. >"So tell me what happened?"
  1329. >You gulp.
  1330. "Uh..what period is it?"
  1331. >"Third. Now tell me what happened?"
  1332. "Oh. I gotta head to my locker!"
  1333. >You start walking, being closely followed by Lyra."
  1334. >"Hey. What happened?"
  1335. "Nothing. I just passed out. Is it the beginning, or the end?"
  1336. >She grabs your arm.
  1337. >"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
  1338. "Getting ready for my classes."
  1339. >You just fainted? You were fine with me."
  1340. "Well, I guess something came over me."
  1341. >"Were you with Sunset?"
  1342. "Why does that matter?"
  1343. >"Were you with Sunset?!"
  1344. >She pushes you against a set of lockers, with both hands.
  1345. "Lyra, get off me."
  1346. >"Answer my question then!"
  1347. >You snatch your arms away from her, with a firm frown.
  1348. "Why does that matter?"
  1349. >"Because she's some type of demon, voodoo bitch, and the whole school knows it!"
  1350. "She's reformed!"
  1351. >"Leopards spots don't change!"
  1352. "This is fucking ridiculous. You're as bad as Redheart! Get off me!"
  1353. >You shove past her.
  1354. >She's hot on your heels, as you head to your locker with your hands in your pockets.
  1355. >"Redheart thinks she did something to you also?"
  1356. "......."
  1357. >She groans.
  1358. >You arrive at your locker, and start working on the combination.
  1359. >"So you were with Sunset when you passed out. What else?"
  1360. "We're done with this."
  1361. >"Like hell we are!"
  1362. >You slam the locker, with your geometry book under your arm.
  1363. >"I knew she was freaking trouble. She's trying to turn you into her zombie or something!"
  1364. "Lyra. You're seriously pissing me off right now. DROP IT."
  1365. >You walk past her.
  1366. >She continues to follow you.
  1367. >"Look. I get it."
  1368. "Do you?"
  1369. >"Yeah. You have this hot, popular girl, who's interested in you, and if I were in your shoes, I'd believe that she could do no wrong also."
  1370. "Lyra, I'm warning you."
  1371. >"Hear me out. But, what if she's trying to build her army up again? Seducing people under the radar, one by one until she has everyone she needs?"
  1372. >You stop.
  1373. >She bumps into your back lightly, and touches your shoulder blades lightly.
  1374. "Build another army? Do any of you know how stupid you sound? If she wanted me as a slave, she'd have to do a lot less. Any guy can tell you that."
  1375. >She crosses her arms.
  1376. >"But, it's suspicious! Even you-"
  1377. "Yes. It is suspicious. But, I'm not gonna just through in the towel like that. I'm going to find out what's going on, and then I'm going to show you all, that she's not bad!"
  1378. >Lyra throws her hands into the air.
  1379. >"You're so damn stupid! She's already brainwashed you!"
  1380. "I'M NOT BRAINWASHED!"
  1381. >"Bullshit! The Anonymous I know, and love wouldn't be this fucking naive!"
  1382. >Naive?! You-
  1383. "Wait. You love me?"
  1384. >Her scowl, slowly turns into a red face of shock.
  1385. >"Wait, I didn't mean- I was trying to say-"
  1386. >She balls up her hands.
  1387. >"Go fuck yourself!!"
  1388. >She stomps away, leaving you there in mild surprise.
  1389. >You put your hands on your face.
  1390. "This is fucking perfect. Though I shouldn't be surprised. I did say I loved her too.."
  1391. >That's not what's important right now though.
  1392. >You need to find Sunset.
  1393. >What happened back there? Why did you faint? Like, seriously let's be honest here. You didn't faint from exhaustion.
  1394. >You're not a jock, but you do pretty well considering. You're no weakling by any means.
  1395. >No. It was what Rarity was talking about.
  1396. >Your brain shut down to keep you from taking more information in. So that gives you two theories.
  1397. >One.
  1398. >Sunset, and her friends know how you two met, but something horrible happened, that prevents you from remembering it.
  1399. >Perhaps you unknowingly, suppressed it yourself?
  1400. >Or two.
  1401. >As painful as it is to admit..
  1402. >Maybe Sunset did cast some spell on you to keep you from remembering, and if that's the case, why? What happened that she'd have to put a lock on your memories? What right does she have to do such a thing?
  1403. >You take a deep breath, and keep walking towards your next class.
  1404. >Don't get yourself worked up. You need more information.
  1405. >You sluggishly shuffle through the halls to your third period class, Biology.
  1406. >You look through the glass of the door, and find your teacher Mrs. Harshwhinny lecturing the class.
  1407. "Here goes nothing.."
  1408. >You touch the doorknob, and slowly head in.
  1409. >"-bine it with sulphuric acid to create the desired composite effect, and-"
  1410. >You stand in the doorway armed with only your book, and the nurse's pass.
  1411. >The entire class looks at you in silence. That moment is the worst a kid can ever experience.
  1412. >"Ah. Anonymous. Back from the infirmary? Take a seat."
  1413. "Uh-I got this pa-"
  1414. >She glares at you with half-lowered eyes.
  1415. "Yes ma'am."
  1416. >You hurriedly move to your seat, and hang your head.
  1417. >"Moving on with our discussion, by distilling the-"
  1418. >What the hell is she talking about?
  1419. >You scratch your head confused.
  1420. >A paper triangle bounces off your head, and lands on the desk in front of you.
  1421. >You look around for the assailant, until your eyes fall on a certain rainbow-haired girl.
  1422. >She waves to you lightly with a small smile.
  1423. >You shrug out a "what?" at her.
  1424. >You motions for you to open the paper.
  1425. >Frowning you open it up as, stealthily as possible.
  1426. >"U watch ROH last night?"
  1427. "........"
  1428. >Why were you expecting something different?
  1429. >Of course she'd only pay attention to shit she has an interest in. Did you expect any less? Like for Rainbow to suddenly show Loyalty, or display that she's in fact a friend or something?
  1430. >"Awesome as I wanna be" Remember that cringey shit?
  1431. >You blink a few times at the paper, and look back to her with a shake of the head.
  1432. >She silently groans, and throws her hands up.
  1433. >"MR. ANONYMOUS!"
  1434. >You jump in your seat. You know what's coming next.
  1435. >"Since it seems you're paying such vivid attention to my class, perhaps you can tell me what I just said?"
  1436. "Uh..White phosphorus with sodium hydroxide can produce poisonous phosphine gas, usually as a result of overheating red phosphorus, plus white phosphorus can autoignite and blow up the meth lab?"
  1437. >The whole class stares at you with dropped jaws.
  1438. >Mrs.Harshwhinny looks absolutely offended.
  1439. >"Lucky guess."
  1440. "I always pay attention in your class!"
  1441. >You bat your eyes.
  1442. >You actually got that shit right! What the hell?
  1443. >Kick fucking ass!
  1444. >Life is pretty cool sometimes.
  1445. >Another paper triangle thwaps you on the dome.
  1446. >You look to Rainbow again, with a scowl.
  1447. >She shakes her head, and points a thumb at who's sitting behind her.
  1448. >Rarity finger waves to you.
  1449. >Okay then.
  1450. >You open the note up.
  1451. >"Are you okay darling? You scared us to death!"
  1452. >Aw. That's sweet of her. A certain cyan cunt could learn a thing a two from her.
  1453. "I'm good thank you for asking."
  1454. >You keep an eye out for Harshwhinny, while thinking.
  1455. >Maybe you can get some more info from her. Will it make you pass out though?"
  1456. >Best be cautious about it.
  1457. "So what were you telling me about this story Sunset told you?"
  1458. >You fold up a note, and toss it to Rarity.
  1459. >"AHA!"
  1460. >A hand reaches out, and grabs the note in midair.
  1461. >Oh! And, it's intercepted by Harshwhinny! Maybe she could try for the browns.
  1462. >Because, she's really being shit right right now.
  1463. >"Passing notes in MY class anonymous? Perhaps I should read it out loud for the class?"
  1464. >You shrug.
  1465. "Go for it teach."
  1466. >Rarity looks worried, as she begins to unfurl the note.
  1467. >She dramatically clears her throat.
  1468. >"Rarity. Mrs. Harshwhinny is the...."
  1469. >She looks at you confused.
  1470. >You make your best ashamed, tsundere,anime bishounen face, complete with teary eyes.
  1471. >"...The best teacher in existence. Why is she so perfect? I hope she gives me extra homework. Think she'd b-be my date to th-the dance?"
  1472. >Rainbow, and a few students snicker, and giggle.
  1473. "Are you happy? Revealing an innocent man-den's feelings to the world...Baka!"
  1474. >She bites her bottom look, feeling the faux disapproving gazes of her students.
  1475. >You sniffle.
  1476. >"Uh-I-I'll let it go this time, b-but don't let me catch you doing it again..!"
  1477. >She closes her eyes, and puffs her chest out.
  1478. >She recovers fast. What a professional.
  1479. >"For tonight's assignment do pages 24-30. You may have the rest of the period to study. I have to step out."
  1480. >She speed walks out, holding the note behind her back.
  1481. >As soon, as she steps out desks scoot, and shift immediately.
  1482. >You're joined by your two new friends, Rarity, and Dash.
  1483. >"Dude! That was hilarious! You really know how to push her buttons!"
  1484. >You start reverting back to your meeker half.
  1485. >You're still not quite used to having these sudden friends through association. Fuck.
  1486. >Don't judge!
  1487. >"Yes darling! It was quite humorous! Sunset never told us you were so comical!"
  1488. >You narrow your eyes.
  1489. "What has she told you?"
  1490. >Rarity's eyes widen. >Rainbow looks at her with nervous eyes.
  1491. >"O-only good things! I assure you!"
  1492. "Like?"
  1493. >She puts a hand to her mouth, eyes darting left, and right.
  1494. >"I...Rainbow!"
  1495. >Rarity gives her a pleading look.
  1496. >Your eyes travel to her, awaiting answers.
  1497. >"It's girl stuff. You're not allowed to know."
  1498. "Oh come the fuck on!"
  1499. >"Sorry man. Thems the breaks."
  1500. >Rainbow looks away with a guilty frown.
  1501. >"I'm terribly sorry darling. We promised not to say anything. Especially after this morning! Please try to understand."
  1502. >You understand alright.
  1503. >YOU UNDERSTAND ALL THIS SECRECY BULLSHIT IS PISSING YOU OFF!
  1504. >"Mhm. Scruffy understands yer butt frustration."
  1505. >"GAH!"
  1506. >"EEK!"
  1507. "WHAT THE HELL?!"
  1508. >All three of you jump at the sudden appearance of the janitor in your class.
  1509. >"Scruffy thinks ya should reserve yer anger, and judgement until after you've had the chance ta talk to her one on one. Mhm."
  1510. >Rainbow, and Rarity stare at him blankly.
  1511. "Why the fuck are you doing this?! Why do you care?!"
  1512. >He smacks his lips with half closed eyes.
  1513. >"Scruffy's a sunsetfag. Mhm."
  1514. >He gets up, and leaves as if nothing happened.
  1515. >"Anon! You know the creepy old dude?"
  1516. "No!"
  1517. >"Sure seems like he knew you.."
  1518. "He reads the story."
  1519. >"What does that even mean?"
  1520. >You shrug.
  1521. "Got me."
  1522. >They both look at each other, and shrug as well.
  1523. >The bell comes like a saving grace for the duo, as they quickly get up, books gathered in a hurried, messy fashion.
  1524. >"W-well! Looks like it's time to get going! We'll talk later darling!"
  1525. >Rainbow nods.
  1526. >"Yeah! Make sure to look at this week's show on the web-"
  1527. >She's pulled off by Rarity, who nods to you with a smile.
  1528. >You cock an eye.
  1529. "This is shit. Now I'm even more curious."
  1530. >How many books have you read, and shows, and movies have you watched where the main character should have just left well enough alone, and ended up having his life ruined for letting curiosity get the best of him?
  1531. >As weird as he is, maybe scruffy has a point.
  1532. >Before you go playing cock Tracy-
  1533. >Er...Dick Tracy, you should speak to Sunset alone.
  1534. >Luckily, you'll get that chance later, when you go to her home today.
  1535. >You gather up your things, and make for the door.
  1536. >You're the last one out as usual.
  1537. >Or at least you thought.
  1538. >An arm blocks your way through to the hall.
  1539. >"Mr. Anonymous. We need to speak."
  1540. >Mrs. Harshwhinny's stern eyes look down upon you, and boy does she look horny--I mean happy.
  1541. >Since when did you become the ladies man?
  1542. "B-but I'm going to be late for cla-"
  1543. >"I'll write you a pass."
  1544. >You're forced back into the room with a soft click of the door.
  1545. >"So..You wish for me to accompany you to the next-"
  1546. >She clears her throat with restrained excitement.
  1547. >"-School social?"
  1548. >Aw shit. You made that lie up to make her look like an asshole.
  1549. >Seems she took it seriously.
  1550. >She reaches into her desk, and pulls out her teachers planner.
  1551. >She cracks it open, and looks through the dates with a finger.
  1552. "Mrs.Ha-Harshwhinny aren't you married? What would Mr.Harshwhinny think?"
  1553. >She gives you a sly look.
  1554. >"Would he need a reason to "think" anything Mr.Anonymous? Are you planning on...what do you kids call it? "Scoring goals"?"
  1555. "Scoring, you're thinking of scoring."
  1556. >Her face turns red.
  1557. >"But, of course! What type of instructor would I be to engage in sinful, illegal intercourse with a student? A illicit tryst that must be kept secret from our family, and associates~!"
  1558. >She stares off with hazy eyes.
  1559. "Are you okay?"
  1560. >She snaps out of her-whatever that was, and gives you that stern look again.
  1561. >"Don't think I'll allow such a thing to happen young man!"
  1562. "So I don't have to take you to any dances?"
  1563. >"Oh you do Mr. Anonymous. Just forget any plans of getting "slayed"."
  1564. "Laid"."
  1565. >You facepalm.
  1566. "Look teach I-"
  1567. >"Of course you were being serious, with all those touching, heartfelt words?"
  1568. >You gulp.
  1569. "If I wasn't?"
  1570. >She chuckles.
  1571. >"Why I'd give you enough detention to last you through the rest of your years! Why do you ask?"
  1572. >She looks at you expectantly.
  1573. "Uh..I look forward to our dance under the skies together Mrs. Harshwhinny."
  1574. >You sound as excited as droopy.
  1575. >She blushes,and covers her face.
  1576. >"Oh Anonymous! Control yourself! I'm a teacher!"
  1577. >Bitch please.
  1578. >You were releases shortly after with a pass, and a promise to be contacted later with the details of your "date".
  1579. >Let that be a lesson kids! Some lonely forty something year old teachers will take you seriously, when you hit on them.
  1580. >Unless you're into that shit. In which case, don't get caught.
  1581. >You skulk to your next class feeling worse for wear.
  1582. >Remember those plans? That strategy? Well FUCK YO PLANS.
  1583. >You've strayed away from what you planned to do by a wide margin, and it keeps getting wider.
  1584. >Now you're taking Harshwhinny to the next dance, because you're a class clown, and her muff hasn't been touched in years.
  1585. >Thinking about it...
  1586. >That's kinda hot. Being graded on how full of goo you leave her insides? Then forced to take sexual tutoring?
  1587. >Whoa there son. You holster that there six-shooter.
  1588. >Sunset comes to mind suddenly.
  1589. >You've not seen her since this morning.
  1590. >If anything, you expected her to be there in Lyra's spot.
  1591. >You round the corner.
  1592. >"UGH!"
  1593. >Trixie staggers back holding her lower stomach.
  1594. "Wait, Trixie? Are you okay?"
  1595. >She raises a trembling finger up to you.
  1596. >"Wh-what did you punch Trixie in the stomach with?!"
  1597. "Nothing!"
  1598. >You hold your hands up, the culprit bobbling up, and down, in all his might meatiness.
  1599. >....Oh.
  1600. >You punched Trixie in the uterus with your dick.
  1601. >That's hilarious.
  1602. >The boisterous, blue magician coughs violently, and dramatically a few times,with a hand against the wall.
  1603. >You should walk away.
  1604. >You WANT to walk away.
  1605. >If you did though, Trixie would hunt you down, and shout out how you "struck" her. How would that look amongst a group of your peers?
  1606. >You be like Chris Brown!
  1607. >Your rock on your heels, waiting to apologize to her, so you can be on your way.
  1608. >"You--!"
  1609. "Me."
  1610. >She glares, and rights herself.
  1611. >"You hit Trixie! You actually hit the great, and powerful Trixie!"
  1612. "It was an accident! I didn't see you coming around the corner!"
  1613. >She crosses her arms.
  1614. >"Impossible! Even if you cannot see Trixie, her aura is still able to be senses by plebs such as you!"
  1615. >Jesus F. Christ.
  1616. >You hold your arms out.
  1617. "I'm SORRY. I'm a pleb. I didn't sense you. I'm sorry."
  1618. >"Trixie thinks that's not enough."
  1619. "What?"
  1620. >"Trixie thinks you should prostrate before her."
  1621. "Then Trixie can eat a dick."
  1622. >She gasps, and brings a hand to her mouth aghast.
  1623. >You move past her on your way to class once more.
  1624. >"Wait..Trixie knows you..You're that kid who's dating Sunset!"
  1625. >You stop.
  1626. "Yeah. I am."
  1627. >She cackles.
  1628. >"Trixie can't believe you're dating that slag!"
  1629. "What the hell did you just call her?!"
  1630. >You take a step toward her.
  1631. >It was an accident you hit her the first time. It may not be so a second.
  1632. >"A slag! Don't believe Trixie? Ask Snips, and Snails! They ran with her for a while until her-"
  1633. >She puts up both hands to air quote.
  1634. >"Reform."
  1635. "What, are you trying to start Trixie?"
  1636. >She puts a hand on her chest, and leans on the wall.
  1637. >"Why Trixie is starting nothing! She is merely an observer!"
  1638. >You raise an eye.
  1639. "Well, I'm not interested."
  1640. >You turn around, and start walking down the hall again.
  1641. >"Hey!"
  1642. >You look over your shoulder, still walking.
  1643. >"What do you think about the statue outside?"
  1644. "What?"
  1645. >What kind of question is that?
  1646. >"Trixie thinks it's quite outlandish. What about you?"
  1647. >You scrunch your face in confusion.
  1648. "I think it's magic-"
  1649. >You close your mouth.
  1650. >Magic?
  1651. >That statue looks dumb as hell, and you've pointed out it's pointless to have a horse on top of it many many times.
  1652. >Trixe chortles.
  1653. >"See? Trixie knows a thing or two."
  1654. >Your head starts to hurt again.
  1655. "What DO you know exactly? Why did I say what I said?"
  1656. >"Hmm..I wonder as well...?"
  1657. >She puts a finger to her chin.
  1658. >Why in the hell is everyone keeping this from you? Is it officially fuck with Anonymous day? Where did Sunset go to? What is going the fuck on?
  1659. >Trixie starts to walk away, with a smug grin.
  1660. "WAIT!"
  1661. >"Hm?"
  1662. >She looks at you over her shoulder.
  1663. "Tell me. Did something happen between me, and Sunset? What do her friends know that I don't?"
  1664. >You plead to her with clasped hands.
  1665. >"Are you begging Trixie? That IS funny!"
  1666. >Okay fuck it. You're not about to deal with this bullshit. You'll get the answers somehow.
  1667. >You flip her off, and turn away to start walking.
  1668. >You hear shoes quickly follow you from behind.
  1669. >"Halt! Trixie wasn't done!"
  1670. "Tough. I'm not playing around right now."
  1671. >She moves to in front of you, and places her hands roughly on your shoulders.
  1672. >"Look, Trixie will tell you all you want to know. She promises!"
  1673. >Your scowl slowly curls into a smile.
  1674. >"But, you have to do something for Trixie first!"
  1675. >Fuck.
  1676. >Your smile curls back into a scowl.
  1677. "Like what? You want to use my body for your sexual pleasure right?"
  1678. >She grimaces.
  1679. >"EW! Why would she want that?! You think this to be some awful fanfiction on a detestable board, being read by adolescents, and grown men seeking to read raunchy stories about Characters they obsess about in an unhealthy way?"
  1680. >.....Now I'm depressed.
  1681. "That was oddly specific."
  1682. >"It doesn't matter! The terms for the deal are simple. You just have to be Trixie's slave for a full month!"
  1683. >A month?
  1684. >As HER slave?
  1685. "What?! Can't I do your homework or something?"
  1686. >"HA! You do my homework? Trixie gets better grades than you!"
  1687. >You narrow your eyes.
  1688. "How do I know you're going to honor your side of things? How do I know you know anything at all?"
  1689. >She scrunches her face up.
  1690. >"Fine. If Trixie must tell you-
  1691. >She leans in close to your ear.
  1692. >"Lake Rainbow Falls."
  1693. >Lake Rainbow Falls? What's thaaaaaaa-
  1694. >You collapse, but get caught by Trixie.
  1695. "Wh-what did you--?"
  1696. >"You, and Trixie, and Sunset have an extensive history Anonymous, only I kept my end of the DEAL."
  1697. "What...deal?"
  1698. >"Well you'll just have to find that out won't you?"
  1699. >She roughly allows you to fall to the ground.
  1700. >You look up at her confused.
  1701. >"You can start your servitude today. After school."
  1702. >After school? You can't-
  1703. "But, Sunset, and I are d-doing something!"
  1704. >"Sunset?"
  1705. >Trixie thinks, looking away for a second.
  1706. >"Even better. I expect to see you outside of the statue. She'll understand."
  1707. >What?!
  1708. >She kicks you leg to the side, and steps over you, with an evil smile.
  1709. >"Trixie will see you later Anonymous~"
  1710. >You struggle to get up from the floor, but find yourself even weaker than before.
  1711. >"Holy crap! Anon!"
  1712. >You weakly turn your head to an approaching person.
  1713. >Hands pat you all over, trying to help you over.
  1714. >"You okay man?"
  1715. >Getting a better look, you can see it's Algie.
  1716. >Good old Algie. You'll be sure to escort him to the library sometime.
  1717. >Ha. Good game.
  1718. >He sits you up, kneeling down at eye level with you.
  1719. >"Are you okay man?"
  1720. >You pant, and look at him with glazed eyes.
  1721. "No. No it really isn't."
