Cut Above The Rest
Chapter 8: Unwanted attention
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAs the girls all lay fast asleep, Treble had come into the room to check up on them he saw Rarity and Sunset laying in the same bed, Pinkie, Rainbow and Fluttershy in sleeping bags and AJ sleeping with her seston over her face. He walked up to the bed and pulled the blanket up over the sleeping pair as Rarity had done a bit of tossing and turning. He planted a kiss on Raritys forehead and proceeded to do the same to the rest, until he came to Sunset.
He stared at her for awhile before planting a kiss on her cheek. He then walked out of the room and gently closed the door behind him. Sunsets eyes opened and she placed a hand to her cheek, a small blush appearing on her face.
Being the gentleman that he was Treble took the couch to sleep on. He lay down and pulled out a note that was left on his locker earlier that day.
Don't trust Sunset Shimmer
-Everyone at Canterlot High
He stared at the note for awhile before crushing it in his hand and tossing it in a nearby trash can, which of course was styled to Raritys liking.
'If the girls trust her, that's good enough for me.' He closed his eyes and fell into a dreamless sleep.
The next day
The girls all awoke as a sweet scent found its way to their noses, causing them to twitch. Each of them got up at the same time and looked at each other sleepily. They all stretched their limbs and let their bodies switch to autopilot as they followed the smell downstairs. They pushed open the kitchen door to find Treble flipping pancakes while whistling to himself, the tune sounding very similar to when they had sung 'Helping Twilight Win The Crown.'
"Morning." He greeted them as he pulled out their chairs for them. He then slid some plates across the table which all landed perfectly in place in front of the sleepy girls. Placing a moderate amount of pancakes on each plate he sat down by the kitchen counter where he placed a small plate with a piece of pancake on it.
Scary then crawled out of a hole in the wall and began munching down on the pastry. Sunset just looked at this confused.
"Wait, who is that spider and more importantly why is it able to eat a pancake?" Rarity looked at her then to Scary.
"Oh, that's just Scary my dear, Trebles pet. As for how he can actually eat...we never actually found out, we don't even know what breed of spider he is." Scary just shrugged and continued eating. "More importantly we don't know who he is still alive after all these years..."
Treble chuckled and patted Scary before he began to meet his own breakfast.
Treble and Sunset approached the school on the motorcycle and pulled into the parking lot. Once the bike was in a space Treble killed the engine and let Sunset off.
"Hey, do you think you'd be able to teach me to drive that thing sometime?" Treble shrugged and they began walking towards the front of the school.
"Oh Treble~" Treble facepalmed as Adagio walked up to them. She placed a hand to her hip and stared at him with a sly grin. Treble growled at her before walking past her. She then grabbed his arm which he swatted away. "Oh come on, all I want is a hug."
"No, leave." He snapped in a authoritative tone.
"My my, I do love a man with some fight in him."
He was losing his patience with her, and that was rare for him. He was usually calm and collected in these situations, with the amount of time he sleep at clubs either to hang out or do a gig there was always one girl that tried to hit on him, but this seemed different. He felt someone tap his shoulder, he looked over to see Sunset looking at him in worry.
"Come on Treble, we should go." He sighed and nodded. They began walking to the front doors when they heard Adagio call to him.
"Ok then sweetie, I'll see you later!"
"Bite me!"
"Oh, how did you know my fetish?"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!!"
As Treble walked through the hallways of the school he spotted a poster for the upcoming student concert. Lifting his spirits a bit he decided to ask the girls about it before signing up. He checked his timetable and made his way to his next class.
A few hours later the group sat together at lunch as Treble began poking at his food. Octavia and Vinyl had sat with them and noticed his behaviour. "Treble, what's wrong?" He rubbed his face and sighed. Sunset explained what had happened with Adagio earlier, Octavia placed a finger to her chin in thought. "And why is it that you won't give this new girl a chance, if I might ask?",
"Don't trust." He took a bite out of his taco and looked around the canteen. Finding the three girls absent from the cafeteria he sighed in relief. Shaking away his thoughts he pulled out the poster advertisement for the concert, looking at the girls curiously. Looking to each other they all nodded.
Smiling, Treble placed the poster back in his bag and continued eating lunch. Just then he heard the cafeteria doors fly open, he looked back and growled at the three girls that had walked in and started singing...and began touching the other students? Ok, he knew he saw one of them touch another girl inappropriately, dear God.
He then heard what they were singing about, something about a battle. Soon everyone in the cafeteria was shouting for the concert to be changed to a battle of the bands. As the song ended everyone started fighting, the girls all got up and ran out of the new war zone with Octavia and Vinyl. Treble was left in the room as he stared down Adagio who blew him a kiss. He clenched his fists and took of his glasses.
'She's dangerous, I don't know how but she caused this. She's a danger to the girls...she has to be removed!'
He quickly turned away and walked out of the canteen, thinking of various ways he could remove the newly presented danger to his friends.
'You want a battle Adagio...fine.' He punched a wall, leaving a small dent in the stone. 'Lets battle.'
Next Chapter: Inner conflict Estimated time remaining: 5 Hours, 21 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
In case anyone is concerned about Trebles sudden change in attitude let me explain. He is not entirely immune to the sirens spell, he will still act aggressive if exposed to their normal spell in a large quantity of negative energy. He is immune to the subduction spell, not the aggression spell.
