O Brother, Where Art Thou?
(Quick Note: The reading is an older version of the chapter)
Before our encounter, being a geek and a woman of science was the only meaning of my existence.
But then I became doubtful of that.
Because...
The truth was, I've been waiting all along for something that would change me.
EXPELLED.
The big red word was was written in a piece of paper. A girl with orange pigtails and pale amber skin sat infront of a table, the principals table exactly. The girl was wearing a grey sleeveless hoodie, red undershirt and skirt that had two gear symbols on it, a utility belt, black and white pants and blue sneakers. She was in trouble for somehow, destroying half of her school with her newest invention and science fair entry; A robot.
"Come on! I'm on a roll here!" The girl said to the principal.
Now you see, the girl wasn't normal. She had a brilliant mind for brilliant ideas. She would isolate herself from social life just for the sake of science. She would rather have a robot than having friends.
Now the principal simply glared at the girl. He looked like he was gonna explode. The girl then gave out half a smile, trying to hide her fear. The principal then stood up and paced around her but still glaring at her. He then stopped and put his hand on the girl's shoulder.
"Miss Mix, the stunt you pulled recently was quite unforgivable," The principal said, "The damage is well, critical."
"Mr. Levi please! Let me stay until I graduate!" Gaige pleaded.
"Well, judging by your card, you have outstanding grade," Mr. Levi said as he took out a folder from his blazer, "But your robot, or should I say war machine, made quite a mess."
Mr. Levi then went back to his seat. He then stared at Gaige for a moment and a smile grew on his face.
"You know, I could un-expel you," Mr. Levi said, "If you pay for the damage, which is extremely expensive."
Gaige's mind went blank. She wanted to finish in this school here in Japan. I mean, who wouldn't like a school where you invent stuff? Yes, it's a school for the gifted inventors. Her inventions could sell big time when she graduates. Gaige then stopped thinking of the school and thought about repairing the school, but she was living alone and her parents were in America. Her robot made a mark on the school campus. She contemplated once more where she can get the money. She couldn't think of anything. She didn't have friends or anyone close except her Aunt. If only her family was there, who left her because they had to move to Canterlot, and she refused to go with them so that she could study robotics in Tokyo. She finally gave out a defeated sigh and finally stood up.
"Sorry Mr. Levi, I cannot pay for the damages my robot made," Gaige said in a defeated tone, "Plus for plot reasons I must leave this school."
"Then I have no choice but to expel you completely," Mr. Levi said with his arms crossed, "What are your plans then?"
Gaige then took a minute to think of what she will do next. Obviously, if she stayed in Japan, no school would accept her because of the incident, nor she could get a job for the same reason. She then took out her wallet and peeked inside. A decent amount of yen contained the wallet, but she could only survive a month with that kind of money.
"What should I do?" Gaige thought.
Gaige realized that there was only thing that she could do with that kind of amount. She could just buy a repair shop and start a business, but what was the point if her name was mess around their parts? One thing's for sure, she could just move back to her family in Canterlot. Once again, she let out a defeated sigh and turned to the principal with a determined smile.
"I'm moving back with my family." Gaige proclaimed.
Mr. Levi smiled at her as well. He then stood up and extended his hand for a shake.
"Goodluck." He said.
Gaige extended her hand as well and shook his hand. She bid farewell to the principal and left. As she went out of the principals office, she saw the damage her robot made. There were holes, debris, concrete and cracks everywhere. Luckily for her, the robot only destroyed half of the school and did not kill anyone. She could have faced the judge instead of the principal if that happened.
She passed through the damages and reached the lockers, which was crowded. As she made her way in the ocean of students, she could hear them murmur about her and others would glare at her, making her slight embarrassed and guilty on what she has done. Gaige then finally made her way out of the school.
"Atleast the schoolyard is okay." Gaige said as she overlooked the schoolyard.
Gaige took out a cube from her pocket. It was colored purple, her favorite color. She carelessly threw it in the air, which levitated and started to glow.
"Come on out boy." She said with a smirk.
With that said, the cube began to expand, taking shape of a robotic torso. As it finished forming, it revealed to be Gaige's invention, the D374-TP or simply Deathtrap. The robot then leaned down to it's creator, and started to make robotic purr.
"Atleast you're not against me," Gaige said as she patted the robot in the head, "Wanna go for a ride?"
The robot happily nodded and played robotic sounds. Gaige smiled at the sight and climbed on top and sat on Deathtrap's shoulder. She began to scream excitedly as the two headed home.
Gaige started packing the minute she arrived at her apartment. Her place wasn't that much, it only had one room where the kitchen and bedroom were all crammed, but she managed to stay alive. Plus, it was the only place her Aunt could afford.
With the help of her landlord, her stuff was easily moved to the airport. After packing every single clothing she has, she turned on her laptop to record one of her blogs.
"Umm... so, hello... huh... my... twenty thousand subscribers. Wow! Okay," She began to speak as her laptop records her, "Umm. HUH! Things were going good, at first. I showed off all the new tech I had added to Deathtrap since my last blog: my "Close Enough" tech, "Anarchy," "Blood-Soaked Shields," the works. All that stuff that, like, really impressed the judges. So, things were looking good. I was looking really brilliant. Unfortunately, I earned... third place."
Gaige then laughed at her statement.
"Third. Place. That is what we call politics, people. And it's really unfair, and this where things went wrong, Deathtrap for some reason, started to malfunction and destroy everything he sees. He made a big-ass mark on the school, well, I did. Deathtrap went LITERALLY crazy on the school, he fired lasers and stuff. Boy, was it awesome... while it lasted."
Gaige then took a deep breath and continued,
"I'm being expelled for what Deathtrap did to the school, and luckily the school only wanted me gone, which was a serious shove, and I am traumatized because, ehhh..."
Gaige once again laughed for no absolute reason, thinking she was crazy.
"I'm currently packing right now, actually I'm about to leave. So this might be my last blog in Tokyo. I grabbed a ticket to Canterlot, which is in the US. Which, I-I mean... I-I-I've always been kind of interested in reuniting with my family, but who knows? Maybe my talents will actually be appreciated and might not get kicked out for being brilliant. Third place. I mean, seriously! Bastards. So, I think that's a wrap, Sayonara!"
After an exhausting plane ride, Gaige finally reached the town of Canterlot. It was early in the morning. She looked out of the plane window and looked below her. She could see the beautiful trees and small buildings closing in as the plane descended from the sky.The plane then landed safely on the airport, Gaige couldn't hardly wait for her to see her family again. A few years of not seeing them. She then went out of the plane and eventually reached the lobby. From there, she could see a familiar muscular man sporting a bandana, sunglasses and a goatee. Gaige happily ran to him with a smile. The man also smiled when he saw Gaige, who opened his arms wide.
"GAIGE!? HOLY SKAGF*CK I F*CKING MISS YOU!" The man said.
"I miss you too dad." Gaige said as she hugged her dad, Rift Mix.
The two then took a moment to cherish the hug, then eventually pulled out.
"DAMN! YOU'VE GROWN UP TO BE A LADY!" Rift exclaimed, "WHOA YOU GREW SOME BOOBS!"
"DAD!" Gaige shouted in embarrassment.
Gaige blushed when she saw some people looking at her dad, who was shouting every word he says.
"Dad, can you keep it down?" Gaige said as she tried to cover her face.
"UHHH, SURE HONEY! IS THIS LOW ENOUGH?!" Rift exclaimed, still oblivious that he is shouting.
"Ehh, nevermind," Gaige smiled, "Let's just go home."
"BIG LETTER K!"
The two drove to their home. Gaige was excited as a horse to see her mother and brother. Even if they were still far from home, Gaige couldn't contain herself in excitement. The car then passed by a school, which Gaige suspected that it was Canterlot High, and then passed by another school, Crystal Prep, which Gaige didn't know about.
"Huh, I wonder what school is that." Gaige contemplated.
"HEY GAIGE!" Rift shouted, surprising Gaige.
"Yes dad?"
"I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF ENROLLING YOU TO CANTERLOT HIGH. IT'S WHERE EVERY POOR BASTARD GOES TO," Rift exclaimed, "BUT SCREW THAT WE AIN'T POOR BUT I STILL ENROLLED YOU THERE.
"Aww, but I wanted to go to the gloomy school." Gaige said, pointing out Crystal Prep.
"WELL, IT'S TOO LATE NOW!" Rift said as he stopped the car, "HERE WE ARE!"
The two arrived at their home. Gaige couldn't believe what she saw. Their house was big. She forgot that her parents were super rich. Gaige then shrugged and went out of the car. She then looked at her phone to check the time.
"School starts at 8:00 right?" Gaige asked her dad.
"YOU BET!"
"Ugh, I can only sleep for two hours." Gaige groaned.
"THEN YOU BETTER START SLEEPING! YOUR ROOM IS IN THE SECOND FLOOR NEXT TO YOUR BROTHER'S," Rift exclaimed, "I'LL DO THE UNPACKING."
Gaige happily smiled and went inside. From her front door, she could smell fresh pancakes being cooked in the kitchen. She then levitated off the ground and followed the delicious scent. She reached the kitchen and saw her mother Moxi cooking. She had white skin, red hair, peach eyes and was wearing a duster. Her mother turned to Gaige with a smile.
"Gaige! I miss you!" Moxi said as Gaige ran to her for a hug.
"I miss you too mom." Gaige said in joy.
The two took a moment to cherish the hug.
"Hey, where's Treble?" Gaige asked as she pulled out.
"Oh your brother? He went out early to pick up Vinyl." Moxi explained.
"Who?" Gaige asked.
"His girlfriend." Moxi said as she laughed.
Gaige couldn't believe that her brother gotten himself a girlfriend. She and Treble were close as kids until Gaige had to stay in Japan. However, she was very protective of her brother.
"You must be hungry." Moxi said as she held a plate full of pancakes.
"Nah, I'm good mom, I need sleep though." Gaige said with a yawn.
"Are you sure? These pancakes are not gonna eat themselves."
"Mom, I need sleep." Gaige said as she dragged herself out of the kitchen.
"Okay, remember school starts at 8!" Moxi reminded.
Gaige groaned when she saw the large staircase that leads to the second floor. She was so tired to go up, but she had too. Gaige dragged herself up. After a few minutes, she had reached the top. She stopped for a moment as she heavily breathed in exhaustion. Suddenly, she heard a "Ding" and looked to where it was. After seeing what it was, she felt stupid. Over by the left was an elevator, which opened up and revealed Rift carrying a few boxes.
"We have an elevator?" Gaige groaned.
"WHY, YES WE HAVE," Rift exclaimed, "WHAT KIND OF DUMB DAD WOULDN'T HAVE AN ELEVATOR INSTALLED?
Gaige perfectly performed a facepalm and proceeded to go to her room. She opened the door and saw it was still empty. That didn't matter at the moment, she only wanted to sleep. She then went to her bed and drifted to a deep slumber.
Gaige was having a wonderful time sleeping until Deathtrap, who activated randomly, awakened her. Gaige rubbed her eyes and looked at her phone. Her pupils shrank when she saw what time it was. It was already 7:45. Not wasting time, she turned off Deathtrap, hurriedly took a shower, went down for a quick breakfast, and ran to Canterlot High.
Along the way she saw nothing but peace and quietness in the town. She knew the plane ride was all worth it. With her admiring the place, she did not look at where she was going, and eventually bumping into someone with a piece of bread on his mouth, which fell to the ground once they both bumped into each other.
"OW!" She exclaimed.
Gaige looked up to see the boy. The boy had dark blue skin, silver hair with a light blue highlight and sky blue eyes. He was wearing a black t-shirt with a white star on it, a jacket with sapphire flames and a white crescent moon on the back, gray pants with a white strip on both sides and black sneakers.
"I'm so sorry! I was in a hurry!" Gaige apologized as she helped the boy up.
"That's okay, I was in a hurry too," The boy said as he got up and looked down to his bread in disappointment, "Aw, my breakfast."
"HEY! What the hell kind of plot are you trying to pull by bumping into my precious Artemis while he had toast on his mouth?!"
Gaige heard a voice from behind the boy. She then saw a girl marching towards them. She had a purple and teal twin tail hair with star barrettes, a purple corset looking dress with a light green skirt, purple and white leggings and purple high-heeled shoes. The girl then karate chopped both of their hands, separating the two.
"Plot?" Gaige said confusingly.
"Are you okay Artemis?" Aria said as she looked for injuries around Artemis.
"I'm alright Aria, we just had an accident." Artemis replied.
"Oh for pete's sake! Here!" Gaige said as she handed two dollars to Artemis, "Go buy something to eat with this!"
With that said, Gaige then ran off and left Artemis and Aria. Artemis then grew confused while Aria still looks for injuries.
"I'd better hurry!" Gaige exclaimed as she ran as fast as she can, "It's good to see someone still cares about pigtails."
She looked around for the school, but was mesmerized once again when she saw the beautiful park she was passing through. Once again, she wasn't looking at where she was going. She soon bumped into a boy that had a dark gray hair with red streak, red eyes, gray skin, red hoodie and oddly a watermelon. As they collided, the boy dropped his watermelon and looked in horror as the watermelon shatters to pieces.
"AAAAHHH!! MY WATERMELON!" The boy cried.
"Eating watermelon in the morning?" Gaige said as she rubbed her head, "And I thought I was weird."
"Hey! It's delicious!"
"Anyway, I'm sorry! I was in a hurry! Here go buy something with this." Gaige said as she gave two more dollars to the boy, and ran off once more.
The boy then grew confused at what he just saw. He then looked down to his watermelon again and mourned it's fall.
"Well Daemon, I guess I'm eating chips today." The boy said.
Gaige continued on with her marathon to school. She passed by a building called Sugarcube corner, which she suspected it to be a bakery.
"Damn it! I'm not gonna run into anyone any-"
Boy she was wrong, she once again bumped into another guy coming out of Sugarcube corner, completely knocking him out. The guy had cyan skin and black spiky hair.
"W-why does this happen to me all the time?" The boy groaned and fell unconscious.
"Sh*t! I'm sorry!" Gaige said.
"SWIFTIE ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!"
Gaige heard another voice coming from the inside of the building. She then looked up and saw a pink skinned girl with pluffy messy pink hair come out of the doors. The girl took a moment to tend Swift and looked up to Gaige with a smile.
"HI MY NAME IS PINKIE PIE! WHO ARE YOU?" The girl exclaimed with a smile.
"Umm, the name is Gaige? I guess?" Gaige said confusingly.
"Well nice to meet you! This is my boyfriend, Swift!" Pinkie said.
"Yeah.. Sorry about him," Gaige said as she rubbed the back of her head then looked at her phone, "Crap, I'm late! Gotta go!"
"Okie Dokie Loki!"
Gaige once again continued on with her trek. This time, she focused on her sight and tried not to bump into anymore people. After a few minutes of running, she eventually reached the school. She took a moment to catch her breath and then continue on to the school.
As she was walking down the sidewalk, she saw a newly built statue in front of the school. In front of the statue were a group of people. She recognized some people in it, specifically the people he bumped into earlier. As she got closer, she could notice everyone laughing and cheering for someone.
"Nice to see you guys together!" Said a boy who had a light shade of grey skin, slicked hair and had tattoos on his arms.
Excited, Gaige quickly approached the group to check if he was there. Unfortunately, it was too crowded and she couldn't see where he was. Gaige then let out an irritated groan and jumped, finally seeing a certain white skinned individual and black spiky hair, or in other words her brother, Treble. She was happy to see him again, but couldn't get near him, so she finally called him out.
"Treble?!" She said.
The group suddenly turned to where the girl was. The group grew confuse when they saw the Asian girl before them, but Treble's eyes went wide open. He hurriedly approached the girl with a surprised expression. Gaige then grew a big smile as Treble got near her.
"Gaige?!" Treble said Gaige as he hugged her, "I f*cking miss you!"
"Hey! What's going on?!" A girl with blue and light blue hair said.
Treble turned to the girl with a grin and said, "Vinyl, let me explain. This is my sister, Gaige."
"WHAT?!" The group said in unison.
"I miss you too bro." Gaige said as he hugged Treble back happily.
The others then grew even more confused on what they just saw. A girl with rainbow colored hair walked up to Gaige and Treble.
"Treble has a sister?!" The girl said.
"Well yeah, haven't I mentioned her before?" Treble said, "It's been like, eleventeen chapters."
The group then shook their heads of disapproval in unison.
"Huh." Treble shrugged.
"We have alot of catching up to do Brother!" Gaige said, imitating Hulk Hogan.
Gaige once again bear hugged her brother. As they pulled out from each other, a girl with red and yellow hair approached her.
"Looks like we have another member of our group," The girl said, "The name is Sunset Shimmer, nice to meet you. Welcome to Canterlot High, you're gonna love it here."
