Sorry for the delay, I've been working on a few collabs as of recently and I've been trying to organise myself.
Anyway, here's the next chapter.
Taking some deep breaths Treble managed to calm himself before he made his way out of the school to find his friends by the school statue, with Octavia and Vinyl being absent. Still formulating a plan to either remove Adagio off the school grounds or resort to drastic measures. He shook those thoughts away. He was above hitting women, something that he grew up learning was he was to never harm a girl in any way, even if they were a threat to his friends safety. He just needed to think of a way to deal with it peacefully, easier said than done.
Walking over to his friends he put on his sunglasses to hide his worried eyes and put on a fake smile for them. He sat down and placed his headphones on while the girls all talked about a plan of action, something he couldn't really get in on. Scary climbed out of his breast pocket and sat on his knee, looking up at his silent master. Treble began to gently pet his little fluffy spider and looked at the girls. It seemed like they had come up with something as Sunset had a look of hope on her face.
Being caught up in the moment the girls had ran off without him, although he saw this as a good thing. He now had some time to think alone. Placing Scary in his breast pocket again, Treble walked over to his motorcycle and began riding at a steady pace. He pulled into a parking lot to a large park.
Sitting on the edge of a catwalk that reached into the middle of a large lake he pulled out a notebook and started writing.
Entry 26
New threat has made itself known in the shape of a seductres by the mane of Adagio Dazzle. I must find a way to get rid of her without having to resort to physical violence. The girls seem to have their own plan and I will help them in any way I can until a more thought out solution can be found.
This Sunset Shimmer girl seems to get a large cold shoulder from the rest of the school, I have yet to find out why but I do not intend to. The girls trust her, I will too. Besides she's kind of cute now that I think about it I shall continue to keep track of the presented events, until next time.
Setting the notebook back into his backpack he sighed.
Treble pulled back up to the school and saw his friends yet again waiting around the statue. He walked over to them and raised a brow until Rarity answered him. "We are just waiting for someone dear, shouldn't be too long." He gave a satisfied nod and sat down beside Sunset, who looked away slightly while keeping him at the side of her vision, suddenly feeling flustered. Noticing her discomfort, Treble placed a hand on her shoulder and gave her a concerned look, only causing her heart to beat faster.
"I-I'm fine Treble, just a little nervous about seeing this friend again." She got to her feet and walked around to corner. "What's wrong with me? Every time I'm close to him I get flustered, but why...no, no it couldn't be that I...like him? It just couldn't be...could it?" She peeked around the corner and stared at the silent boy who now had Scary on his head having a staring match with the fluffy spider, causing her to giggle. "Oh God I do like him!" She placed her back against the brick wall. "What am I gonna do, it's to early to say that I have feelings for him, right now it feels more like a schoolyard crush."
Looking back over she couldn't see Treble anywhere. Turning back she jumped as she saw him right in front of her.
"Oh, Treble you scared me."
"Sorry..." He gave a weak chuckle. "Y'alright?" He asked in concern.
"Yes, I'm fine honestly." He didn't believe her, the face her gave her said as much. "Really, I'm ok." He still didn't move, he had dealt with Applejack trying to hide something from him so this wasn't a challenge. "If I tell you what's wrong will you promise not to freak out or get mad?"
He just gave her a confused look. He had never really gotten angry of someone telling him something, save for Adagio, or freaked out over anything before.
Deciding that it would be best to lie a bit, Sunset began to speak. "I think I have feelings for a certain boy that I've started hanging around with, I don't know wether to try and figure out what those feelings are or to just ignore them." He nodded, pretending to go along with the lie, he wasn't stupid, he could put two and two together. Quite frankly he was flattered, and a little conflicted. He decided he would let things take their course and if something happens it happens.
"That all?" She nodded and they made their way back over to the girls. Just then Treble saw the side of the statue glow. He looked curiously at it before a small purple dog jumped out of it. He was even more confused when a girl fell out of the statue. Not letting the new arrival tumble he quickly grabbed her and helped her up.
"Twilight!" The girls shouted before tackling the new purple skinned girl to the ground. He looked to Sunset with a confused look.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." He shrugged and looked down at the dog pile that now had a literal dog in it.
There's always something that keeps things interesting around this lot isn't there?
The group let Twilight get to her feet. "I've got some bad news about those new girls." This caused the girls to frown and Treble to clench his fists. Whoever this new girl was she knew what Adagio was, and possibly how to deal with her. Who wouldn't trust a random girl that jumped out of a statue with a purple dog?
