In her messy and littered room, an intoxicated Gaige rocked on her chair while she faced her laptop. She was still in her dress and looking very unease on what just happened earlier on. Empty boxes of applejuice and burger wrappers were scattered throughout her desk.
She wasn't alone in her room, on her bed was Treble who was reading one of Gaige's gunpla magazines, and the other was her robot, Death Trap, who was letting out a robotic purr (Apparently Gaige programmed Death Trap to purr like a cat).
"I'm still waiting for you to make a Vlog, sis." Treble said as he turned a page.
"SHUT UP! I'm warming up here!" Gaige shouted to her brother, who shrugged it off.
Gaige took another box of applejuice and drank it in one go. She then threw the box on the floor.
"My heart is still pounding..." Gaige thought to herself as she felt her chest, "Maybe because I was so surprised... That must be it."
"Mom's gonna be pissed if she finds this room like this." Treble chuckled.
"I SAID SHUT UP! BAKA!" Gaige shouted once more.
As she was about to begin recording for her vlog, Gaige began to recall what happened earlier. The sight of Flash kissing her was the first to instantly go through her mind and began to blush red as a tomato.
"The strange throbbing in my chest shows no sign of slowing at all!"
She then shook her head violently, straightened up her face and faced her laptop for her vlog.
"H-Hello subscribers! Welcome to Gaige's funtime vlog thing!" Gaige spoke after hitting the record button, "Uh, YEAH! DANCE WAS GREAT! THAT IS ALL AHAHAHA!"
Gaige began to laugh like an insane person and fell on the floor. She began to roll around and continued to laugh. Treble put down the magazine he was reading and sat infront of the laptop. He then waved and smiled and began to speak.
"Hello strangers I have no clue about! My sister is unavailable at the moment so I shall be vlogging for her!" Treble exclaimed as he looked at her sister on the ground, "First off, like what she said, heh, dance was awesome. Lots of guys danced with her, including her love interest in this fanfiction. Second, something extremely special happened to her that only happens once in a lifetime for a girl like her, well not really. Now I can't tell what it is because I promised to her not to tell anyone, but it rhymes with 'piss'."
Treble leaned to where Gaige was and saw that she fell asleep. Treble smiled as he stood up, picked up Gaige and took her to her bed. He returned back to the laptop for the last time.
"As much as I wanna give out information, a promise is a promise. I love my sister. She tired dawg, now how does my sister sign off?" Treble wondered, "HEH! I KNOW! BANZAI BANZAI BANZAI CUE NEXT SCENE!"
Another school day rolled as students entered the school still remembering the memories they have made during the Fall Formal. On the other hand, Gaige was still not over on the "incident" that happened between her and Flash. As she was on her way to the front door of the school, she began to recollect.
"Ever since I was in Japan, all I ever thought was doing the thing I love; technology and robots," She thought to herself, "No matter who or what, I had absolutely no interest at all..... This is all there is to this world."
Gaige entered her first period and sat on her chair. Thankfully, her seat was next to the window, which made her think she was a protagonist of an anime who usually sits next to a window. Once more, she began to ponder about her situation.
"Something's wrong with me these days; no matter what, I can never concentrate on what am I doing... Even though deep down I clearly know what the reason is."
The door of the classroom opened and entering was none other than Flash Sentry. Normally, everyone would stay quiet and become very afraid when Flash enters the room, but this time it was different. The girls of the class began to greet him with smiles and the boys would either fistbump him or give him a high five. Gaige raised a brow as she stared at the guy as he sat on the chair next to her.
"Morning Gaige." Flash greeted with a warm smile.
Gaige blushed slightly and looked away from him, trying her best to ignore Flash. She took out one of her books and pretended to read. Flash began to stare at Gaige with lovey dovey eyes. This went on for a few minutes until Flash grew impatient. He then stood up, knelt on the floor, placed his elbows on Gaige's table and stared at her with a blank expression.
"Hey." Flash greeted.
"EEEEP!" Gaige exclaimed in surprise.
Gaige slowly backed off from Flash as the boy continued to look at her with a serious expression.
"Why are you ignoring me?" Flash asked as Gaige blushed, "I've been trying to get your attention."
Gaige did not respond to his and just simply looked away.
"...Why?! I'm starting to think of his every move and action!" Gaige thought to herself, "That's truly justified! After all, I've never been close to anyone before... How am I supposed to ignore him?"
She turned to Flash for a small peak, but unfortunately for her, just from looking at Flash made her remember the whole incident once more. Gaige's face went full red as she jumped from her seat. She began to sweat and breath heavily as Flash just simply raised a brow
"AAAAAHHHHHHAAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAA!" Gaige exclaimed.
The whole entire class grew silent and turned to her. Gaige began to feel unease as she looked around and saw the stares coming from her classmates. She then sat down and covered herself in embarrassment. Flash returned to his seat and continued to look at Gaige.
"He doesn't seem to care. Hell, what's going on?!" Gaige pondered, "I'm acting like.. I'M ACTING LIKE I'M INLOVE WITH FLASH.
Gaige once again stood up, all red and sweaty once more and shouted like she was giving birth, earning another crowd to her disposal.
"This could be difficult.."
Time went by and it was lunch once more for the students of Canterlot High. After finishing up chemistry and putting her stuff back in her locker, Gaige headed for the cafeteria. She was not alone as Flash was following her, or what she calls "a duckling without a mother". As usual, Flash passionately looked at Gaige all the time as the two headed for lunch. She was still feeling uneasy with Flash's company. The pigtailed girl let out a loud sigh as she turned to Flash, wanting to break the silence because it was getting awkward for the two.
"Flash." Gaige called out.
"Yes?"
"That night, you said that... You said that you love me."
"Yep," Flash replied with a smile, "I love you Gaige."
"I-In a romantic way?" Gaige asked with a slight blush.
"I would totally do you."
"...What's that supposed to mean?" Gaige thought as she looked at Flash deadpanned.
The two finally entered the cafeteria and got their food. Flash happily walked to their usual seat, but quickly stopped when he noticed Gaige was going the other direction.
"Uh, our table is that way Gaige?" Flash raised a brow.
"Err," Gaige exclaimed as she turned to Flash, "I-I promised Treble to hang out with him today because... Because of something.. Yeah."
"Okay?" Flash replied, "Might as well join Brawly and Ringo, see ya Gaigie!"
As Flash departed, Gaige stared at him for a while. Her heart began to thump once again as her face slowly turned to red. She then shook it off and headed for her brother's round table of unique people.
"D-Did he just call me 'Gaigie'?" She pondered, "Well, it's nice to be away from Brad."
She then headed for Treble's table. She soon reached their usual table and soon noticed the two group of boys were separated into two tables. One table had Rivet, Clyde, Soul, Night and Swift while the others including Treble were on another table. Gaige decided to join her brother's band of misfits due to not knowing the other guys except Night.
Treble saw his sister and gave out a big smile. He moved a bit from his seat for Gaige to sit on and welcomed her with open arms. Gaige gave out a smirk as the others looked at her except Daemon, who was busy eating a watermelon. Gaige let out a cough, interrupting Treble who was telling a story.
"So uh, why are you guys in separate tables?" Gaige asked.
"Oh that's because the author is having a hard time shoving everyone into one scene and he can't give them all lines, so that's when Fennyo gave the author the idea of separating the group, and thus we are now glorified enemies!" Treble said as he let out an evil cackle.
"....Yeah we were getting cramped up on that table." Zero said as he flipped a piece of chip to his mouth.
"As I was saying," Treble continued on whatever he was talking about, "Our grandpa was an amazing person back in the day!"
*****
"Back in my day they used to call me 'The Pussy Annihilator'." An elderly man known as Grandpa Mix said with a smile infront of Treble.
Treble wore a surprised expression as he stood up and said, "Alright I'm gonna take off, I love these visits Grandpa."
*****
"Now that's just to add in some comedic value to the chapter!"
The others except Gaige and Daemon looked at Treble with confused looks and remained silent. They were about to question him, but hesitated and continued eating their meals, except Straight who looked at Gaige with a smile.
"So Gaige, how's school treating you?" Straight asked.
"Pretty good actually- You have something to ask don't you?" Gaige raised a brow.
"And she looked straight at him," Treble said, "Heh, see what I did there author?"
"Yeah, I only have one question," Straight asked with a smirk, "This regards to what happened during the Fall Formal."
Gaige began to shiver in fear as she stopped eating her lunch. She slowly looked at Straight while she gave out half a smile.
"F-Fall Formal?" Gaige said with wild eyes.
"So I was helping out AJ carry some empty cases of Apple Cider bottles and I noticed you and Flash all alone in the gym," Straight explained, "...Exactly what happened in there after the music started playing?"
The others soon began to listen and soon looked at Gaige with smirks. This made her even more uncomfortable and made it hard for her to reply.
"N-N-Nothing! I left the gym afterwards!" Gaige excused.
"Are you sure about that? Brad is acting extremely weird around you," Warhawk added, "I mean, not as crazy as last week."
"Well you know! He's Flash! He's a weirdo! Everyone loves him now ehehheeeheeeeee." Gaige replied nervously.
"Sounds like you're hiding something Gaige," Zero said with a sly smile, "Has the strong and mighty heroine named Gaige grown extremely weak because of a boy?"
"Oh believe me, something did happen during that-MMMPPPH!"
Treble was about to reveal something to the group until Gaige covered his mouth. Treble began to struggle but to no avail, his sister was way too strong for him. As soon as he calmed down, Gaige let go of him and sat down to reply to the questions she was being asked. She took a deep breathe and looked at Straight Edge straight in the eye.
"No, nothing happened. Ever. Period. Menstruation." Gaige replied as she took a bite from her lunch.
"...You sure you didn't kiss?"
*BA-DUMP BA-DUMP BA-DUMP BA-DUMP BA-DUMP BA-DUMP BA-DUMP BA-DUMP BA-DUMP*
As soon as she heard the word "kiss", Gaige jumped from her seat and made a run for it. The others just watched on as the girl stormed out of the cafeteria. Treble chuckled as he looked at the ceiling.
"Heh, I see what you did there author."
Gaige made her way out and reached the bending machines outside the cafeteria. She began to breath heavily as she took out some money and bought a soda. Once more, she began to contemplate on why she did that after hearing the word "kiss". She opened up her soda and began to drink it. onds slowly touching her waist. She jumped and shrieked in fear as she turned to her back, revealing it to be Flash.
"BAKA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Gaige shouted as her face began to turn red again.
"Hey Gaige! Have you seen Ringo and Brawly?" Flash asked in joy.
"Err, no."
"Damn it, where did those two run off to?"
Flash walked up to the bending machine and brought a soda as well. For Gaige however, she began to feel her heart beat fast once more.
"There it is again.. I feel so agitated." She thought as she felt her chest
Flash opened his drink and started drinking it. Gaige began to become uncomfortable as Flash looked at her silently. Not wanting it to be awkward, Gaige coughed and said, "So uh, how's Ringo and Brawly treating you?"
"Pretty good, they started treating me better." Flash replied.
"You better make sure of that, otherwise I'll go suplex them through ten tables if they do stupid crap again." Gaige said in a serious tone.
Flash let out a warm smile and faced Gaige.
"You're really special Gaige." Flash smiled.
Gaige looked away as soon as she noticed his Smile. She let out another blush as Flash went beside her.
"Have you ever felt empty inside?" Flash asked.
"Huh?"
"So empty.. You can't feel anything?" Flash explained, "Surrounded by darkness... It really scares me."
Gaige remained silent as she turned to Flash as he continued to talk.
"But I'm not scared anymore.... Because I have you." Flash said as he looked at Gaige with a warm smile.
The words shot right at Gaige's ears. She felt that Flash's eyes couldn't see the situation at all, even if she was right there. From there, the two remained silent and enjoyed each others companies as they waited for the school bell to ring.
Hours have passed and Gaige was outside sitting on the bleachers next to the soccer field. With her was Fluttershy, who she was helping with her studying, and Night who was jogging on the field. Gaige felt relief after being with others and not Flash. After so much has happened to her life, she felt that everything has been settled after not being with Flash.
"....So you divide X by Y then you find it's square root." Gaige pointed out as she wrote an equation infront of Fluttershy.
"Then I'll get the answer?" Fluttershy replied while she rubbed her chin.
"Not exactly, you have to get the answer of this one first."
"You're good at this Gaige."
"Well, I'm Asian so yeah, math's like a walk in the park," Gaige replied with a smile, "Honestly, this is an easy equation, how are you bad at this?"
Fluttershy sighed as she spoke, "It's not the subject, it's the teacher. Doctor Whooves is just so hard to understand."
"Heh, I would totally do him." Gaige whispered as she chuckled.
As Gaige explained the math problem, Night jogged to the bleachers and stopped at the two. He took out his handkerchief and wiped away the sweat coming from his head. He then looked at the two and smiled at them. Suddenly, his phone began to ring.
"You look tired Gaige." Fluttershy said in concern.
"I'm pretty parched right now." Gaige replied.
"I know, I'll buy you something to drink to thank you for helping me study." Fluttershy replied.
"That sounds nice."
With that said, Fluttershy stood up and headed inside to buy a drink from the bending machines, leaving Gaige with Night. The boy sat on the bleachers as he looked at Gaige while she was reading a book. He then remembered the text message he just received.
"Oh, Flash is looking for you." Night explained.
"Don't say anything," She said in annoyance, "If he finds me, he'll just bother me to death."
"He reminds me of my mom when she was looking for the pancake syrup."
"....What?"
"Hehe, nothing," Night laughed, "I'm going to go take a shower in the gym, please tell Fluttershy alright?"
"Hai."
"Is that a yes?"
Gaige nodded as Night departed. It was now peaceful and quiet as she was all alone in the whole area. The shade of the school covered the bleachers and the wind coming from the trees breezed through Gaige. Tired and exhausted, she began to get drowsy, and eventually succumbed to sleep.
A few minutes have passed and Fluttershy returned to the field with two cans of soda.
"Gaige, I got you some Pepsi-"
Fluttershy stopped on her tracks and remained quiet as she saw Flash sitting next to Gaige, who was silently sleeping. Flash signaled Fluttershy to keep quiet as the boy placed Gaige's head on his legs. She then nodded in agreement and left the two. As she left, Fluttershy let out a smile and never realized that Night went to take a shower.
After a while, Gaige began to wake up. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a blurry sight of a blue haired boy above her. Realizing who it was, a startled Gaige quickly sat up and looked at Flash in embarrassment.
"F-F-FLASH?!" Gaige exclaimed, "When did you- CRAP I'M MISSING CLASS!"
As Gaige was standing up, she was stopped when Flash grabbed her face and placed her head back on his leg.
"MMMPH!" Gaige muffled.
"Now now, go back to sleep." Flash insisted as Gaige struggled.
She struggled to get up but to no avail. She calmed herself down and slowly took off Flash's arm from her face. She then looked at Flash, who was smiling like a child.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Gaige asked.
"Hmm? Because you were sleeping so soundly," Flash replied with a warm smile, "I thought it was cute."
"Seriously?" Gaige thought as her face began to become red, "Is he doing this on purpose?"
Gaige let out a defeated sigh and remained with Flash. Trying to avoid eye contact, she looked at the clear blue sky. This was her first time skipping a class in all her life and she felt anxious about it. She then noticed the clear blue sky above her.
"It's a beautiful day.." She thought.
As she looked at the sky, many things came to her mind. In the past her old self would have not noticed the blue afternoon sky due to her being busy with school and her technology. Her world was growing; the chatter coming from the school and sounds of nature that she considered background noise was now comforting for her.
"It feels so good..." She thought with a smile.
What made it better was the person who she was with. Having Flash as a friend was gift for her, a well deserved gift. Gaige did not to seem to care about what he has done to her anymore, she was thankful she had someone like him by her side.
Gaige sat up, looked at Flash and began to speak, "Flash, I'm glad we met."
"Hmm?" Flash smiled with a slight blush.
"In the past, I only cared about surviving school and nerdy science stuff, but I'm going to start enjoying myself."
Gaige looked at Flash right in the eye and gave out a warm smile. She was no longer embarrassed or nervous to face Flash as she was now comfortable on facing the boy. Her heart began to bloom as she let out everything she had to say to the boy infront of him.
"I love you Flash."
The two gazed at each other's eyes for a while as the cool afternoon breeze went through them. It was like everything was perfect for the two.
"Perhaps you could say, my values have changed. Hell, even my world changed," Gaige thought, "If that's the case, then the one who changed my world must be Flash Sentry."
