Author's Notes:

Sorry for the wait, I've been working on a crossover with one of my other stories. But anyway, here's the next chapter.

Trebles POV

I may have a child's curiosity, inability to speak and a slight case of personality disorder, but I knew when I needed to be serious. This was one of those times, after prying Vinyl and Tavi off of me we did a bit of catching up over dinner. There was one thing that I needed to take care of before I headed home, it was why I revealed myself to them in the first place.

"You want your mother's address?" Tavi asked with disbelief, I nodded. "But why?" I took off my hood and glasses, set them down and sighed.

"Miss her." Vinyl looked to her and nodded. Tavi sighed and wrote down the house number and handed it to me. I looked at the piece of paper and nodded. I got up, hugged them, and walked to the door.

"Wait." I looked behind to see Tavi standing up. "You're going to Canterlot High now right?" I smirked before putting my sunglasses on.

"Aye." With that I walked out.

Third Person POV

Synthesia Scratch was just like any other women, she went to work, cleaned around the house, checked on her daughter from time to time and did what she could to get by. She was 38, she had the same hair as her children, except purple and white. She wore a purple jacket with a black shirt underneath, purple jeans and black boots. She looked like a grown up version of Vinyl, she however could talk. She also had a figure that made her the target of a few lonely men, she hadn't been in a relationship since the divorce.

Synthesia was washing the dishes as she looked at a picture of her, Vinyl and Treble. Tears formed in her eyes as she looked away. She had been so heartbroken when she found out her husband was cheating on her that she wanted nothing more to do with him, so she cut all possible contact from him, even her own sons phone number. She even made Vinyl delete the numbers as well, you can be sure that Vinyl and Octavia savoured their final phone call.

Immediately after deleting Treble from her contacts she regretted it, she tried to get it back but she couldn't remember what it was. "I was so stupid back then. It's been what, five years now?" She sighed and wiped a tear from her eye. Just then she heard her front door open.
"Who's there? Is that you Vinyl?"

"No..." She recognised that voice, she remembered it so well. It was the voice of her son. She turned to see him, he was standing in front of her wearing the grey tracksuit with the hood down. He stood there with his sunglasses on his forehead, a neutral expression plastered on his face.

"Treble...is that really you?"

"Aye..." She walked towards him and placed a hand on his cheek and shoulder. She looked over him and then started to tear up.

"Look at you...all grown up." She brought him into a tight hug which he returned. "I've missed you so, so much." He held her close and kissed her forehead in response. Her eyes snapped open and put her hands on his arms and looked at him. "But how?" He smiled and handed her a form. She looked it over and her eyes went wide. "You're going to Canterlot High now?"

"Aye."

"So you already have a place to stay?" He nodded. "Where?"

"Friend." She smiled and hugged him again.

"Well, I'm glad I got to see you again, when I deleted your number I instantly regretted it, I'm so sorry for abandoning you." He placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Forgiven." They talked for awhile, catching up on the past five years until it was time for him to go.

"Please do stop by soon honey, I want to see you on your birthday tomorrow."

"Aye." They hugged and he put his hood up, then began walking down the road.

After grabbing a bite to eat with the girls, Sunset began to walk home with Rarity at her side since their homes were in the same general direction. Coincidentally so did Trebles current living arrangement, he spotted the two and hung back to make sure they didn't see him. Sunset and Rarity were talking about something when three large men stepped in front of them.

"And where are you lovely ladies headed, hmm?" Sunset rolled her eyes and Rarity scowled. "Aw, don't be like that loves, me and my boys here just wanted to see if you'd be up for a little car ride."

"Nice try buster, but we don't plan on riding with anyone tonight." They tried to walk away but the one in the middle grabbed Raritys arm.

"Well then, if ya won't come willingly, we'll just have ta force you. Me an the boys here are a might pent up." Just then the man felt something grab his arm. He looked over to see Treble with his face hidden under the hood of his tracksuit. "How's this bloke?" Treble swung his fist into the manes face, causing him to lose his grip on Rarity.

"Go." The girls looked at him. "Go!" They nodded and ran off towards the boutique. Treble turned to the men and planted his knee in the middle ones crotch, causing him to squeal like a little girl. He dropped to his knees and and held his broken tool. Treble was then grabbed by a man from behind and pinned his arms behind his back. Treble the received a large punch to the stomach. He then lifted his legs and kicked the guy behind him. He elbowed him in the face and turned to the last guy who pulled out some brass knuckles.

"Feelin lucky punk?" He swung at Treble but missed, Treble then punched him in the face and pulled at his arm. With the arm stretched out Treble positioned his elbow above it. "Please don't break mah arm."

"No." Treble brought his elbow down on the outstretched arm and a loud crunch could be heard. The man crawled away and Treble slowly followed.

"Look, I know we said some things, but I'm sure if we get to know each other, we can be friends."

"Up high."

"What?"

"Down low."

"Wh-"

"Too slow." Treble brought his fist down onto the mans face, causing him to hit the sidewalk. Treble held his arm as hitting the man that hard really hurt his wrist. He shook off the pain and looked down at the men. "Pathetic." With that he began his trek back to his home, while passing the boutique the sky got darker and it began to rain, at first it started as a drizzle but then it started coming down hard. The wind picked up and threw his hood off.

Meanwhile Rarity and Sunset watched the fight take place, and after they watched as Treble struggled to walk in the harsh weather. "We should bring him inside, he did just save us from those brutes. He'll catch his death out in that weather." Rarity strained her eyes to see the boys face in the dark. Just then a flash of lightning caused Trebles face to be visible to her, sending her into shock. "T-T-Treble?"

Just then Treble felt a large pain in his stomach from where he was hit. He grabbed his sides and tried to push through the rain. Rarity grabbed a coat, put it on and rushed out into the rain. "Rarity no!" Sunset tried to go after her but got blown back by the strong wind which Rarity seemed to have no trouble with. "Oh no, they weren't supposed to find out until tomorrow."

Rarity reached the sidewalk and pushed towards Treble. "Treble, I'd that really you?!" Treble froze at the sound of his name. He didn't dare turn around, he had a plan he needed to stick to, he wanted to meet them all at once. "Even if it isn't you, you need to come inside!" He knew he wouldn't be able to make it home in this kind of weather, he took a second and weighed his options. She already saw him and he had no way of going home without a car. He sighed and started walking towards her. She smiled and walked back into the boutique, she held the door for him and he walked by. Sunset had snuck out to her car to give the two some privacy.

As she drove down the road she remembered what Rarity had told her earlier.

Treble walked down the road in the direction of the boutique, a piece of paper containing the payment for a custom order that his mother had requested. As he looked at the address he was given he reached the building he was looking for and smiled. He walked through the door, causing the little bell at the top of the door to ring. A woman at the counter looked over to him and smiled. "You must be Synthesias son, give me the payment then I will be right back." He gave her the check and she went into a back room.

While he was waiting he looked around the shop, he then heard some clattering in a nearby room. Letting his curiosity take over he walked over to the door, first making sure it wasn't a changing room, then peeked in to see a young Rarity on a ladder trying to reach some fabric. When she leaned to one side the ladder lost its balance and started rocking. Rarity hung on for dear life but fell off, Treble shot forward and caught her in his arms and stopped the ladder from hitting the ground with his foot.

Rarity had her eyes closed, still expecting to hit the ground. Treble slowly lowered the ladder to the floor. When Rarity opened her eyes she found she was in the arms of a rather cute boy with crimson eyes. He set her down and she blushed. "Thank you darling, I should really ask for help when reaching high places like that." Treble nodded and looked to the ladder. He set it up and climbed up to the fabric, he pointed to one of the rolls and Rarity nodded. He lifted it and tossed it down to her. "Thank you for your help...I'm terribly sorry I don't know your name." He climbed down the ladder and held out his hand.

"Treble."

"Rarity, pleasure to meet you." She took a second to look him over. He wore red jeans and black trainers, a black t-shirt with a red treble clef on it. He also wore his sunglasses on his forehead, on his hands were black fingerless gloves and red bracelet rings. "Oh, I have something that will go well with your outfit!" Treble tilted his head in confusion as Rarity led him out of the room and into the main shop.

She looked through some piles of clothing before she found what she was looking for. She held up a red jacket that matched Trebles jeans. He tried it on and looked at himself in the mirror. "It's a little big on you but you can make it work." He looked at her with a raised eyebrow, he pulled out his pockets to show he had no money. "Oh don't worry about that darling, you saved and helped me, think of it as a reward." He tilted his head. "I won't take no for an answer." He shrugged and they moved back to the counter where Raritys mother sat with a bag.

"Oh, I see you've met Rarity, and that you found a use for that old jacket she made." He nodded and grabbed the bag, he shook the woman's hand and began making his way to the door, then he felt something rest on his shoulder.

"Wait, you will come back to visit won't you, I always like to make new friends." He nodded and opened the door. He then heard Rarity screaming and turned around to see her on a stool. He looked to where she was starting and saw a small fluffy spider. He walked over to it and looked it over. "Kill it, kill it with fire!" Treble rolled his eyes and looked back to the little spider. It was white and had a small red ring on its abdomen, it appeared to be a baby, it was shaking.

Treble gave it a comforting look and held out his hand for it to crawl onto. The spider looked at him nervously with fearful eyes. Treble started to coo the baby arachnid and lifted him into his hands. "It's ok." He petted it softly and it stopped shaking.

"Ew, put it away, it's scary." Treble brightened up and looked at the spider.

"Scary." The spider looked at him and waved a leg in response. Treble smiled and set Scary on his shoulder, he waved to Rarity and walked out the door. Rarity continued looking at the door.

"What is that boy?"

Sunset chuckled at the story, especially the part about the spider. "That boy is something else."

Back at the boutique

Treble walked in the door and shivered due to the wetness of his clothes. He took off the hoodie to reveal the red jacket and black t-shirt, however the jacket was now small on him, the short sleeves sat fine and it only reached down past his chest, he then took off the jogging bottoms to show his red jeans. His outfit was still the same, the only difference being the jacket. He turned around and was immediately hugged by Rarity who was crying with joy. Treble smiled and hugged her back. Meanwhile, Scary crawled out of a small bag that Treble was carrying and looked at the two, he gave a happy expression and crawled over to his owner.

When Rarity saw him she jumped into Trebles arms, she then recognised the spider and calmed down. "I see that you still have Scary." Treble scooped up Scary and set him on his head. Rarity then went back to cuddling Treble, he smiled and kissed her forehead. "I missed you so much Treble."
