In the middle of a forest a few miles outside of Canterlot City there was a long straight gravel path. On this path there were three of our characters that have not been given enough time together. Octavia, Vinyl and Treble walked through this forest, Treble holding an expression that showed he was in deep thought as he walked with his hands in his pockets. Vinyl just held a smile as she listened to her headphones while looking around. Octavia walked with a small smile while holding her hands together in front of her, taking in the sounds of nature.

Treble was busy thinking about what his life would be like in nine months, when either his little Sunchyme or Lyric would be born into this world. A smile made a way to his face as he imagined what Hack would do if he was left with the baby, he would immediately be labelled the fun uncle by the baby, while Casino would be the one that would constantly teach them bad habits.

His smile faltered as his thoughts focused on what was wrong in his current time. X, Sill and Jill, Adagio and who knows what else this world has to throw at him. He needed to deal with these problems as soon as possible before they learned of his unborn child. The first thing he was going to do when he got home was call the guys over to plan an attack on the Black Cats Of Music.

He shook his head to clear away those thoughts, this was a time for him to be with his two sisters, a time to be happy about something. His kid was on the way, he had great friends around him at all times and life was going great...aside from the constant accounts of attempted rape on his friends and the occasional assassination order he had to deal with...and a certain seductress that had a creepy obsession for him, but hey, what's a story without conflict?

"Hey Treble?" He was taken out of his train of thought as Octavia looked to him.

"Yeah Tavi?" He asked with interest.

"You seem to be lost in thought, everything alright?" She asked with concern.

"I'm fine." He replied with a smile.

"Ok, I'm just making sure, you seem to be switching emotions a lot right now."

"It's alright."

Octavia nodded before turning back to look at the passing trees. "Hey Treble, where did the others get off to? I haven't seen them all day?"

"Beach." Treble said with an amused smile, knowing full well what Hack and Eclipse wanted to do there.

...

Meanwhile at the coastline beach Hack sat down facing the ocean, his entire body covered in a pile of sand save for his head. "I am the sand gaurdian, gaurdian of the sand."

Eclipse ran up to him and placed a hand on the pile before yelling to the heavens. "Poseidon quivers before him!"

Hack looked out to the ocean. "Fuck off!" He then turned his head to Oceanic who was standing with his phone. "You get that?"

"Yeah...but I still don't understand why you dragged all of us out here to do a vine that's already been done."

"Even I don't know that, we're most likely being used in a cutaway joke by the writer."

"...What?" I'm not proud.

...

As the three continued forward Treble noticed that both Vinyl and Octavia were beginning to walk closer to him unintentionally. He waited until they were close enough before he placed his hands on their shoulders before pulling them closer and wrapping his arms around them, surprising to two girls. "Love ya." He said with a smile.

The two girls smiled warmly before planting light pecks on his cheeks in appreciation. They continued walking like this, Treble holding them close in a protective and loving brotherly embrace. Octavia talked while both Vinyl and Treble listened, occasionally Vinyl would use sign language to tell the two about something, even though they basically had twin telepathy at this point...literally. They had to focus really hard but they could communicate through their minds. Why? Because I'm the author damnit! If I want to throw random bulkshit at you (which you all seem to love for some reason) I will do so with pride (I am never proud of it.)

But you all know by now...I don't just let precious moments like this happen...without something happening.

Suddenly Octavia and Vinyl disappeared as Treble blinked. He looked around, questioning what was going on. "Vinyl? Tavi?"

Concern started to settle in as well as confusion. He frantically looked around, his smile now a worried frown.

"Isn't funny!" He yelled, hoping that they would show up.

He tried to backtrack but something was blocking him. He gave up on going back and decide to move forward. As he walked fog began to settle in through the trees.

'Slenderman better not jump out at me in here.' He thought while looking through the dense fog. As he walked down the path a silhouette could be seen through the mist. Believing it to be one of his sister's he quickened his pace, determined to find something familiar. But what he found instead only caused hate to flow through his veins like blood, powering his organs with one specific goal, eliminate.

X stood there with his hands in his coat pockets, his fedora blocking ball of his glowing crimsion eyes. "Hello...son."

Treble clenched his fists in anger. "Tavi, Vinyl!" He demanded.

"They're safe, for now. They're waiting for you, you'll see them after this little meeting." X reached into his pocket and pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Treble who tensed up. After a few seconds X flipped the gun in his hand and threw it to Treble who caught it in his right hand, a drop of sweat going down the side of his face.

“Why?” Treble asked in a hushed voice while not looking to the gun he held in his hand.

X closed his eyes and took in a breath. “Around us...outside of this fog...you've seen what the day is like.” Treble just watched as X motioned to the trees. “It's a beautiful day outside...the birds are singing...the flowers are blooming.” He turned to look at Treble with his glowing crimson eyes. “On days like this...people like us...should be burning in hell.”

“Only you.” Treble responded.

“Why do you think that huh?” He began to walk towards Treble slowly. “Don't you remember all the people you've hurt, all those men, all those thugs? It may be for defence or the right reasons, but the fact is you still ruined lives when you defeated those brutes.”

Treble was now visibly shaking, his head trembling as he struggled to not just aim it at X and get it over with.

“You want to kill me, don't you?” X asked darkly. “You want to shoot me right in the face don't you?” X just glared. “But you stop yourself, you let your morals get in the way of what has to be done.” X then turned his body to the side and pointed at Treble. “That is your greatest weakness Treble Clef, you allow your morals to get in your way! Never hit a woman, never harm the deceived, help the needy...show mercy.” X just glared back at Treble. “You won't kill me, you still believe that there is at least some part of the man that raised you left in me, you want to bring that back don't you, you want to believe that there is still good in me but there isn't, and you know that don't you?”

Treble gripped the pistol in his hand and set his finger on the trigger.

“So if you know that I'm only going to cause you hell, then you might as well kill me.” He grabbed Trebles hand and made Treble point the gun to his forehead. “So what are you waiting for!? Come on, you've got a clear shot! End it! Do it! Do it mother fucker! Pull the fucking trigger!”

Treble closed his eyes and smacked X over the face with the pistol before the dream collapsed. Treble woke up on his living room couch with a blanket over him and Sunset laying on top of him, resting her head on his chest with a worried expression.

’I need to kill him before he goes too far.’ He thought before wrapping an arm around his girlfriend, signalling that he was ok.

“You collapsed in the woods Treble, Vinyl and Octavia had to carry you back. What happened?” Sunset asked with worry as she kissed his cheek.

Treble sighed and looked up at the ceiling. “Father problems…”
