"...And that's why Flash needs to bang you this instance!" Hazel gleefully said.

"HAZEL! I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL KILL YOU!" Gaige shouted.

"LISTEN UP GAIGE! WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE HERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!" Flash shouted angrily as he looked around him, "MAKE IT QUICK!"

Lately after Neon made the statement that he has fallen for Gaige, Flash has been entirely paranoid around him. He began to think that everyone (Including girls) were going to fall for Gaige at some point. He wouldn't leave Gaige's side even for an instant and it was more prominent when they are outside the school, in which they are at the moment.

"GAIGE! DON'T DON'T GO OFF WANDERING ON YOUR OWN!" Flash continued to ramble, "LOOK ONLY AT ME!"

"...Okay?" Gaige replied confusingly.

It was now cold December and Gaige, Flash and Hazel were at the mall to buy Christmas decorations for the school after being assigned, or forced, by Pinkie Pie (Even if they weren't even part of the Party Planning Committee). Gaige blankly stared at Flash while he glared at every person they came across with.

"Before the winter break, I need to have a serious talk with Flash.." Gaige thought to herself, "But, when I look at him now, I get a bit scared."

The trio stumbled upon an inflated Santa Claus statue. Flash raised his fist and approached Santa. He landed a blow on its nose, which triggered his signature "Hohoho". Flash's eye twitched as he began to strangle the poor inflatable display.

"WHAT'S SO DAMN FUNNY PUNK?!" Flash exclaimed while he chocked the display.

"FLASH! YOU'RE KILLING SANTA!" Hazel exclaimed, then turned to Gaige, "Hey, what happened to Flash? I thought he'd be the happiest since it's almost Christmas?"

"Who knows? I guess the author made him an absolute dumbass."

After restraining Flash, they entered the department store in order to buy the decorations. The three decided to split into two with Flash assigned to find a suitable Christmas tree while Hazel and Gaige to buy the lights and other decorations.

Hazel and Gaige made their way to the section for decorations and began to look for the best ones. While they were silently looking at the things for sale, Gaige noticed Hazel grinning at her, which made her really uncomfortable.

"Baka, lay off, I'm not having sex with Brad." Gaige said to her.

"BUT YOU HAVE TO! OTHERWISE MY SHIP WON'T COME TRUE!" Hazel complained.

"What is with you and eagerly getting me to hook up with Flash?" Gaige said as she blushed, "I-I'm still reconsidering it..."

Gaige slowly smiled as she was reminded of Flash. Hazel began to shiver and freak out as she grabbed a hold of Gaige's shoulder and began to shake her.

"OH MY GOD YOU REALLY DO LOVE HIM!" Hazel shrieked.

"Baka, watashi wa anata o korosudarou!" Gaige exclaimed.

"I don't know what that means but it sounded real nice!" Hazel continued on, "Anyways, fangirling aside, what DO you like about him?"

Gaige was startled by this and began to blush once again. She nervously rubbed the back of her head and began to sweat. She averted her eyes from Hazel and laughed hysterically. Hazel continued to stare at Gaige with a smile and waited for her. Gaige began to notice this so she stopped laughing and let out a defeated sigh. She rubbed her head once more and looked away from Hazel again.

"Y-Yeah, honestly, I don't know," Gaige explained, "Even if he's acting like a kid, I can't ever seem to let go of him. I simply can't."

"LIES! YOU WANT THE D!" Hazel retaliated as she raised a fist.

"WHAT! NO!" Gaige exclaimed and swatted Hazel's fist, "ALRIGHT FINE LISTEN I'LL TELL YOU WHY I LIKE HIM!"

Gaige sighed once more and her face began to turn red. Her mouth began to twitch as Hazel's eyes began to grow bigger and bigger. The nerdy girl stepped closer and closer to Gaige while the girl got redder and redder.

"W-W-Well, I like Flash not because he's incredibly attractive for some reason," Gaige said, "He's so straightforward and sincere. It's impossible to not dislike him... Except he's a f*cking immature idiot who keeps on messing things!"

"I see why you guys would fit together!" Hazel exclaimed in glee.

"Aside from his childish actions, I like his company. Even if he pisses me off, I still love Fla-"

"Love who?"

The two were interrupted and startled when they saw Flash carrying a tree behind them. Gaige quickly backed off as sweat began to come down her head. The boy gave out a confusing look while he stared at the reddened face of Gaige.

"Gaige was I interrupting you or something?" Flash asked.

"Uh no, y-y-you weren't," Gaige excused as she turned to Hazel, who she glared at and signaled not to say anything, "Anyways, let's go get some Hoofbucks!"

After paying for the decorations they bought, the headed outside the department store carrying a few boxes. As they made their way out, they ran into some Crystal Prep students they knew, mainly Sparkjump, Rapid Shadow, and Lone Wolf. The three began to greet Gaige as Flash just intently stared at them while Hazel on the other hand, was hiding behind Flash. Little did he know, another Crystal Prep student was behind them. Flash turned to the student and his eyes widened as he saw his childhood friend, Neon Lights.

"HEY IT'S BEEN A WHILE CHICA!" Spark greeted to Gaige.

"WHAT'S UP ESE!" Gaige laughed.

"Crazy to run into you guys at the mall!" Lone added.

"Oh we were just buying some decorations for school." Flash coldly explained.

"Yo homie, we ain't here to steal Gaige from you," Spark said in a cool voice, "I'm transferring anyway, so you can kiss my pendejo goodbye."

"We were just heading to Hoofbucks but then we ran to you guys." Rapid intervened.

"Oh sweet, we were just heading there!" Gaige smiled, "You guys wanna go there together? Gaigie needs to get her pumpkin spice!"

As Gaige and the three bonded, Neon stepped up infront of her, which also prompted Flash to go to her as well. Flash went to Gaige's side as Neon gave an annoyed look to Flash. He then leaned to Neon and glared at him. The two began to look each other in the eye as if they were going to kill each other.

"He's not allowed to come." Flash said coldly.

"Huh? Why am I not allowed to come wanker? I'm definitely going." An annoyed Neon said.

"No, you're not allowed! Because a few days ago, you said you have fallen for Gaige!"

The whole group froze in place and silently stared at Neon. Hazel's blood began to boil while she glared at Neon. Things began to get awkward for the sunglasses wearing boy when his classmates' eyes shrank and stared at him. Neon kept a straight face and looked at Flash.

"Idiot, that was obviously a joke." Neon plainly said.

Neon's friends began to laugh at him while Gaige, Flash and Hazel blankly stood and looked on. Flash's eyes widened and gave out a sigh of relief.

"I SEE!" Flash smiled.

"No wonder no one takes you seriously," Spark said to Flash, "Stop taking things seriously!"

"I don't really get what's going on, but let's just head to Hoofbucks alright?" Lone suggested as he gestured to go.

"Alright alright!" Flash grinned as the whole group started walking except Neon.

Neon stood silently and sighed in relief. His blood began to boil and proceeded to clenched his fist. His eye twitched as he started to look at Flash with irritation.

"Flash you f*cking wanker! You talk way too much!" Neon thought, "Damn it, why am I dragged into this?!"

As he was letting his rage out, Neon saw Gaige walking back to him. He exhaled deeply and groomed his hair into place, as if nothing was going on (And an attempt to make Gaige fall for him). He then gave a cool look to Gaige as the girl crossed her arms and raised a brow at him.

"What is it?" Neon said.

"You're horrible at jokes," Gaige responded, "You coming or what?"

"How could I be attracted to this woman?!" Neon thought in irritation.

The group made their way to Hoofbucks to relax. They settled on the table and placed the decorations on the ground as they went to order. After getting their latte's and coffees, the group sat on the table and began to bond. Gaige was between Flash and Neon, with Flash keeping his eye on Neon the whole time. The Gaige, Neon and Hazel (Who was shy and scared to talk because she was surrounded by boys) was dead silent while the others laughed and talked.

"Estúpido! No! You've got it all wrong, SANTA IS A FAIRY! A FREAKING FAIRY!" Spark laughed.

"Then the reindeer are people who did bad things in their previous life!" Flash added with a gleeful smile.

"How classy..." Gaige groaned.

"Tell me about it.." Neon added as he drank his tea.

The conversation went on for a long time and the three remained silent throughout it. After a while, Flash excused himself and went to the bathroom but not before warning Gaige that Neon was a rapist, much to his annoyance. With Flash gone for a while, Neon leaned to Gaige and cleared his throat as he tried to start a conversation, not wanting it to be silently awkward between them.

"I remember something, I was once told that a girl from another dimension who liked Flash," Neon said while he adjusted his glasses, "It seems you have a rival mate, what are you going to do?"

"Twilight? She only likes Flash right?" Gaige said in a plain matter as she took a sip of her drink, "It has nothing to do with me. And besides, she rejected him."

Neon looked at her for a very long time then leaned on his seat and took a sip of his tea. He was amazed at Gaige's confidence and suddenly felt that his heart was beating.

Time went by and Flash started talking about himself, specifically the time he was suspended for a week for fighting an outsider. The others especially Gaige (Who was pretending to be using her phone) listened intently as Flash told his story.

"...Basically that's when people started calling me Brad for some reason," Flash explained, "It wasn't entirely my fault because they were the ones who started the fight."

"Huh, no wonder none of the students of Crystal Prep don't want to have a fight with you." Rapid said.

"Probably, I don't even remember their faces anymore, hell I don't even remember if it happened or not."

Flash chuckled for a bit as he was reminded of that event. He turned to Gaige and wrapped his arm around her. He then held her tightly, which made Gaige blush a bit and made Neon let out an irritated look at him. His eye began to twitch in annoyance as Flash continued to smile.

"Even if those happened, there's nothing to worry about anymore," Flash smiled, "Because I have Gaige by my side!"

"DAMN RIGHT!" Hazel exclaimed suddenly, which startled the whole group, "Oh yeah Gaige, I forgot to tell you about the Robotics Convention that's going to happen during winter break?"

"Robotics Convention?" Gaige asked

"RoboUniverse. It's going to be held in Canterlot's convention hall," Hazel continued on, "The entrance fee is mighty high."

"Oh, what a coincidence, I'm going to that convention." Neon interrupted.

Gaige instantly turned to Neon and shoved Flash's arm away as she got closer to Neon. She then gave a curious look at him, which made Neon raise a brow.

"Neon? You're into robotics as well?!" Gaige said excitedly, "I'm definitely going!"

"Please take care of me!" Neon smiled.

"I guess we have something in common mate! LET'S GO TOGETHER!"

"Err, what's with that look you're giving to me?"

Flash began to panic when he saw the two talking about the convention. He excused himself and went outside. He quickly took out his phone and began to text his mother.

Me: Mom, can I borrow 100 dollars?
Mom: What for?
Me: Going to attend a convention with Gaige.
Mom: I could afford an entire month of groceries with that kind of money! Sorry honey, I can't give you that much.

Flash became disappointed at this and let out a defeated sigh. Back inside, Neon looked down on the ground and began to question himself. This was just an attempt to get closer to Gaige. He pondered if he was still the same person he was or if he has changed to an attention hungry bully who wants to see Flash in misery. He then felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked up to see Gaige looking at him.

"Which reminds me, thanks for that time Neon," Gaige said, "Thanks to you, I have thought about it properly."

"Thought about what?" Neon said in irritation.

"Your advice, the one that you gave me," Gaige replied with her face beginning to blush red, "I have... Decided to talk to Flash very soon."

Neon's eyes widened as sweat began to drop from his head. He sat up and looked at Gaige with a worried look.

"What? WAIT! Why did you decide today? It's too hasty!" Neon panicked, "You need to wait!"

"Huh? Why the hell do I need to wait?" Gaige said with her brow raised.

"Doesn't matter! Just wait longer!"

As the two talked, Hazel eavesdropped and listened intently. She noticed straight away that Neon had fallen for Gaige, which certainly pissed her off due to the fact it's going to ruin her ship.

Time passed once more and Neon went to the restroom. After using the toilet, he came out of the restroom and was confronted by Hazel, who had her brows arched and arms crossed. Neon gave out a confused look at the girl and sighed.

"What is it mate?" Neon asked.

"Please don't go between my ship." Hazel warned.

"Excuse me?"

"Gaige and Flash! Don't go between them!" Hazel exclaimed as Neon glared at her, "People who aren't involved should just go away!"

"Then you should go away." Neon coldly replied as he began to walk away.

"F-F-Falling inlove with Gaige is pointless!" Hazel panicked, "Because she has Flash!"

Upon hearing the name of Flash, Neon became irritated. He turned around and grabbed Hazel by the face as the girl began to squirm.

"Bloody hell, you're so horrible, saying this sort of thing," An annoyed Neon said, "Are you in kindergarten or something?!"

"O-Ouch! OW! OW! PLEASE I'M SORRY LET GO!" Hazel pleaded as Neon's grip became tighter and tighter.

Neon let out a sigh and let go. He took off his glasses and placed it inside his pocket. He walked away from Hazel and headed outside. It was already early evening and Neon looked at the dark blue sky. There, he stood and pondered on what Hazel said to him about not getting a chance with Gaige. He shook it off and gave out a confident smile, thinking that he may have another opportunity to get into a steady relationship.

Neon then heard the door of Hoofbucks open. He turned around to see Flash walking towards him. The two stood silently as they looked at each other until Neon spoke up.

"Isn't that nice mate? It seems as though you're having so much fun at school," Neon said with a smirk, "Oh yeah, you were always saying 'I want to have friends'."

Neon chuckled and continued to smirk at Flash.

"How about this mate, you give me Gaige... And I'll be your friend," Neon suggested, "If I said that, what would you do?"

"If I have Gaige, I don't really need you." Flash answered.

"Wanker, you answered so seriously, that was obviously a joke."

"She is mine, I was the one who found her."

"Well, what if Gaige says that she likes me better?"

Flash's expression slowly turned serious and wore a sadistic look. He clenched his fist and raised it, seemingly aiming at Neon. Neon began to panic and slowly backed away, but Flash followed. Flash was about to launch his fist towards Neon's face, but was stopped when someone behind them called Flash. The two turned and saw Gaige carrying a box full of decorations.

"Flash, the hell are you guys doing?" Gaige asked, "Come on, we need to head to CHS and drop the decorations."

"Right!" Flash said as he headed inside.

Neon grasped his chest and let out a sigh of relief. He looked at his rattling hands and tried to calm down. Flash then came out of the building holding a big box along with Hazel. He stopped infront of Neon and glared at him.

"Neon, don't meddle with Gaige."

With that said, Hazel, Gaige and Flash departed and left Neon alone. He looked on to the three, specifically Gaige and Flash. He then headed back inside to meet up with his friends, and pondered what just happened.

After dropping off the decorations, Hazel departed from the two. Flash decided to walk Gaige home once again. On their way there, they passed by houses that had festive lights around them. It was a beautiful sight in the cold winter, Gaige was amazed. She was mesmerized by the pretty bright lights that illuminated throughout the night. She then noticed that Flash was silent throughout their way to home. She turned to Flash and saw him with a disappointed look.

"You okay Brad?" Gaige asked.

"...Not really... About that convention," Flash said nervously, "Do you really have to go?"

"Well, yeah! It's been a while since I attended a kickass robot convention! Think about the cool exhibits featured this year!" Gaige said excitedly.

"I know but, Neon's going as well. You'll be together.. Enjoying the event."

Gaige raised a brow and questioned Flash's behavior recently. Could it be that Flash was jealous? She asked that question to herself and looked at Flash with a concerned look.

"A-Are you jealous?" Gaige asked.

"...Yeah." Flash answered.

"Baka, I thought so." Gaige thought as she sighed, "Envy... Bloody envy. It would be meaningless to say 'You don't need to worry', right?"

Gaige soon remembered what she needed to accomplish. Before the winter break, she needed to convey to Flash her feelings. Gaige approached Flash and grabbed a hold of his hand, which startled the boy.

"Flash, I really really really really REALLY want to get something off my chest, which has been bugging me since Halloween." Gaige said as she took a deep breath.

"Hmm?"

"Flash, I love you," Gaige proclaimed with a sincere look as Flash listened, "That's why, you don't need to worry about anything since I won't lose my way.... Let's try our best Flash."

The two's heart began to get lighthearted. The butterflies in their stomachs began to act up while their chests became warm. Flash let out a warm smile to Gaige, which prompted her to smile as well. It was like nothing was going to stop them.. Until Flash spoke up and ruined everything once again.

"Then, you're not going to the convention with Neon, right?" Flash said with glee.

"....What?"

"WHY IS IT LIKE THIS?! HEY! AREN'T YOU INLOVE WITH ME?!" Flash shouted, "I SAID I DON'T WANT THIS! DON'T GO!"

It was now the day of the convention and Gaige and Neon were heading inside together, with Flash behind them shouting to Gaige not to go. The girl slowly became more and more irritated as the boy she loved behind her kept on rambling and rambling.

"HEY! GAIGE ARE YOU LISTENING OR WHAT?!" Flash continued on.

Gaige had enough and snapped. She turned to Flash with anger and began to lash out on him.

"BAKA! SHUT UP! I WILL DECIDE WHAT I WILL DO!" Gaige exclaimed as she glared at Flash, "DON'T INTERFERE WITH MY INTERESTS!"

Gaige let out a hmph and turned away from Flash, which made him drop his jaw. Neon let out a grin and waved Flash goodbye, making him even more disappointed.

"It's a shame but, you have to turn back here," Neon said with a gleeful smile, "Flash, please don't come in, okay mate?"

Neon then headed inside and enjoyed the rest of the day with Gaige, while the defeated Flash went home traumatized. Neon felt victorious, even if he had no idea what was going on in the convention and was just there to be with Gaige.
