Ch. 6: Broken Romances

After Sonic caught up with Twilight and the others, he found they were discussing where to practice.

"I don't think we can use a classroom," said Twilight, when suddenly she bumped into Flash Sentry who was leaning against the lockers with his fellow band members. He looked surprised for a second, but then he scowled.

"We really need to stop bumping into each other like this." she said shyly.

"Uh, you guys hear something?" asked Flash. His friends denied it, confusing Twilight.

"I said, we have to stop-" Twilight began.

"There it is again," said Flash. "So annoying."

"Why are you acting like this?" asked Twilight.

"Yeah man, what's the deal?" asked Manic. "I thought you guys were friends." After hearing that, Flash apparently snapped.

"Yeah, and then she decided to come back here just so you could beat me in the Battle of the Bands," said Flash angrily. "I want this, Twilight. And you're trying to take it from me. Some friend."

"That's not why-" she began before Applejack put her hand on her shoulder.

"C'mon, Twilight," she said. "We got things to do." With that, they walked away with the others.

"You really think you're gonna help them?" asked Flash. "HA! I bet you have no idea what you're even doing." After hearing that, Twilight started quietly crying.

"Hey, screw off man! She's under a lot of pressure right now," said Sonic, then he realized something. "Hey, by the way, you seen Shadow and Sunset?"

"Huh? Yeah, they went that way," he said, pointing down the hall.

"Thanks," said Sonic. "I'll catch up." Then he rocketed off. What no one noticed was that the Sirens were watching from around the corner.

"Tears already?" asked Adagio. "This is only the first round." The others laughed until they heard an announcement about the band to go on before them and left for the stage.
