Cut Above The Rest
Chapter 23: That time again
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAs Treble walked down the sidewalk just a bit always from the hospital he began formulating a plan to get revenge on X and his goons, he would make them all pay for hurting Vinyl. Before he could do anything though, he needed to learn the location of X. If he didn't know where his target was stationed then there wasn't much he could do other than mindlessly break into every building with his fathers company emblem.
As he walked down the sidewalk two figures came into view. One was Hack and the other was Fluttershy's new partner Sparkjump Volt. He had black hair which he had slicked back, his eyes were brown and his skin was grey. He wore an open dark grey suit with a red wine shirt and dark brown shoes. Out of all the members of the friend group, Sparkjump was the smallest.
Hack noticed Treble walking up the pathway and raised a brow, unable to read his friends current expression. "Hey there Treble, is Vinyl ok?"
Treble stopped when he reached them. "Yes." He walked over and hugged his friend. "Thank you."
Hack chuckled and patted Treble on the back. "Hey, a sister of yours is a sister of mine... Will except Sill and Jill."
As Treble pulled away he turned to his new friend. "Hey Volt."
The sharply dressed teen smiled softly. "Hello again Treble Clef, it is good to see you. How are things going with you and Sunset?"
"Going great."
Volt smiled and nodded. "Well I'm glad that things are going well for you two." Despite his attire Volt was not one for fashion, but he had a strict dress code. It had taken the group a few hours but they had managed to get Rarity calmed down when that particular piece of information came up, although Silver was in for the night of his life due to Raritys aggressive attitude that evening, and no nothing along the lines of sex you freakin perverts, just really, really hard make out sessions.
"So Treble, where you heading?" Treble pointed to the city and placed his fist in his palm. "Oh, you need me to come with you?"
"No." Treble placed a hand in his chest. "Personal now."
Hack just smiled and nodded. "Well, I guess that you need the location of your father don't you?" Treble nodded. "Well I don't got that info, but I know a certain writer that does." You leave me out of this Wonder, or I'm changing your sname to Sack Fondler. "You wouldn't dare." Really?
Suddenly a name tag appeared on Hacks suit saying, 'Hello, my name is: Sack Fondler.'
Treble and Volt both looked to each other before they fell on the ground laughing, holding their sides and struggling to breathe. Hack just looked to them and snarled.
...
Many Years Later
An elderly Hack dressed in medieval attire sat on a wooden rocking chair while his grandson listened to his tale. "Go ahead, mock me! But know this, it wasn't Treble who was laughing at me... It was God!" Hack held his chest dramatically and passed away.
...
Back in the present Hack ripped off the name tag and burned it with a golden lighter. "You just had to do a crappy cutaway gag didn't you?" I'm trying new forms of comedy, and you're the perfect test dummy. "Why not someone like Casino or even Solar or Silver?" Simple, I actually like them.
Sunset stood on a footstool while placing a few ornaments on the tree in the living room of the small house. She wore a Christmas jumper with the picture of a reindeer sewn into it, she also had a Santa hat on her head as she quietly hummed to herself while placing a red bobble on the tree. She had a small red skirt on with grey leggings underneath.
As she was about to reach for another bobble she lost her balance on the stool and fell backwards. She braced for an impact that never came, opening her eyes she found she was being held bridal style by her boyfriend who looked down at her with a warm smile. She smiled back and planted a kiss on his cheek. "You will never not be there if I'm in trouble will you?"
Treble smirked and set Sunset down who immediately wrapped her arms around him and lay her head on his chest.
"I know you're probably stressed out about Vinyl." Treble looked at her with a bit of surprise. "You can't hide your feelings from me Treby, I'm your girlfriend so I automatically know, even if I didn't you couldn't keep it from me long." Treble shrugged and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend and kissed her forehead.
The two began decorating the tree together, at one point Sunset got herself tangled in the lights and Treble had to untangle her. As the tree was covered in green and red bobbles, a neatly placed spiral of lights and tensile surrounding it. All that was missing was the star. Neither of the pair were tall enough to reach the top, even with the footstool.
As Sunset tried to think of a way to get high enough she yelped as she felt Treble place his hands on her hips and lift her up almost effortlessly. She blushed and looked down to Treble who smiled warmly. He looked down to the floor and saw the star lying there. With a flick of his foot he tossed it up to Sunset who placed it on the top of the tree.
Treble set the bacon haired girl down and lay down on the couch. Sunset then lay down on top of him and placed her head on his chest, enjoying the warmth of his body. Treble smiled and began stroking her hair while skipping through TV channels trying to find something to watch. As he looked to the coffee table he saw Scary scuttle onto it with a tiny Santa hat on. Yeah remember Scary? Trebles pet that hasn't been shown in awhile? He's back.
Scary looked at the two and waved a foreleg. He then scurried over to a pillow beside the cuddling couple, spun around in place for a second before planting his body into the cushion and slowly sinking into it. Treble chuckled at his spider and returned to flicking through channels.
