The sun rose in the distance and shined through Canterlot. Over by the Mix's residence, the light radiated through the window and into Gaige's bedroom, where it shined directly at her face. She let out an irritated yawn and began to scratch her eyes. She opened her eyes and became irritated by the heat, which lead her to cover her eyes.
"Author, f*ck off, let me sleep," She said while she covered herself with her blanket, "It's Sunday. Let me recover from what happened yesterday..."
Indeed, something did happen yesterday. It was typical day for her to relax, only to be ruined when her now boyfriend, Flash Sentry, came to her and asked to go out on a date. Gaige turned to her body to the side and saw the stationary Deathtrap on the corner of her room. Just from looking at it, she recalled what happened yesterday.
*****
At the park, Gaige carried a Bento (Japanese home-packed meal) and a rolled up mat while Flash was next to her. Gaige wore short pants and a jersey jacket that she borrowed from Flash, who was wearing a gray jacket, black tank top and brown cargo pants. They were behind a bush and under a tree with no other people around. Gaige placed the mat and bento down on the ground while Flash glanced around suspiciously. Gaige raised a brow at her boyfriend and became confused on how he was acting.
"Is this place good?" Gaige asked in order to break the awkward silence, "I mean, it's a pretty uncommon place to have a picnic. But hey, atleast we get some shade."
"Yeah this is good!" Flash laughed, "You sure are on top of things!"
"...What?"
Confused, Gaige squatted on the mat and opened the packed lunch she brought. Flash followed on and sat next to her. Wanting it to become romantic and happy, Gaige smiled at her boyfriend, which let to him grinning at her.
However, Flash had the wrong idea.
He slowly descended to Gaige with a slyful grin. This made the girl even more confused and began to question him.
"Brad, what's wrong-"
Suddenly, Gaige was pinned down on the ground as Flash slowly took off his jacket. He wore a seductive look which made Gaige's face turn bright red. The boy slowly placed his hand on Gaige's jacket and began to take it off. He didn't seem to realize he was heading towards a demonic summoning.
Gaige pushed Flash away. The girl stood up and positioned herself in a distance while she covered her body with her arms.
"B-B-BAKA!" Gaige exclaimed angrily, "ARE YOU A DUMBASS?!"
"B-But I waited for all the signs!" Flash replied as he knelt infront of Gaige.
Gaige slowly raised her fist while her eye twitched. Her blood was boiling in anger that she could strangle Flash to death.
"I-I-I-I'M TELLING THIS NOW, THAT SORT OF THING... I WON'T F*CKING DO IT!" She proclaimed.
Flash raised his brow and turned his confusingly.
"...Do what exactly?" He said.
Gaige's eye twitched once more. She positioned herself and began to charge at Flash. She jumped and gave him a devastating knee to the face, which made Flash flip and get knocked out in an instance. She then began to lock him into the crossface chicken wing hold for a few minutes until she became tired and started to walk away.
"A-AT ANY RATE, IF YOU DO THAT ONCE MORE, I'LL F*CKING SCRAP MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU AND START OVER," Gaige exclaimed, "UNDERSTAND?!"
*****
After having breakfast, Gaige took a quick shower. Note that it was the weekend and she was going out early, which she hated since it was the only time where she could relax at home. She didn't wear her usual gray jacket and instead wore her boyfriend's jersey jacket. As she got out of her room and headed out to the yard, she saw Vinyl standing by the garage door. The DJ noticed Gaige and waved at her with a smile on her face.
"Hey Pon3," Gaige joked, "You're still banging my brother?"
"Very funny Gaige," Vinyl chuckled, "Where are you heading this early? I mean usually you're holed up in your room playing CS GO or something."
"Long story short, no one told me having a boyfriend was a pain in the clitoris!" Gaige exclaimed in annoyance.
"You'll get used to it, besides look at me and your brother," Vinyl pointed out, "We had a rough start."
"I call BS on that! My brother maybe crazy but you haven't seen how much of a nuisance Flash is!"
*****
Gaige furiously marched onto the hallways of CHS while held a very long molted snake skin. People around her began to murmur and looked at her as she wore an irritated look. She then stopped infront of the Biology room.
She took a deep breath and immediately opened the door. There, she saw Flash holding a flask filled with blue fluid. Gaige pinched the bridge of her nose and glared at her boyfriend.
"BRAD! DIDN'T I TELL YOU NOT TO PUT STUPID THINGS IN MY BAG?!" Gaige shouted furiously.
"What's up Gaige?" Flash smiled as he placed the flask down on a table, "Do you like it? It's still fresh."
Gaige began to approach her indifferent boyfriend while still holding the snake skin. The other students inside the classroom began to murmur "It's the girlfriend" at her while a boy with peach skin and short bright orange hair named Shard approached her.
"Hey Gaige." Shard greeted.
"Good afternoon Shard-kun, you might want to get off of this scene if you don't want to see some world class mauling to Brad." Gaige warned.
"Nope, I'm fine with that," Shard smirked, "Go all out."
"Gladly."
Still oblivious to Gaige's rage, Flash approached her girlfriend with a confident smile and stood before her.
"I heard it brings in luck with money!" Flash explained, "Well I had good intentions, please don't mind me."
"I'M MINDING, THAT'S WHY I'M TALKING TO YOU!" The annoyed Gaige replied, "AND DOES IT LOOK LIKE I NEED MONEY?!"
"Well, you did tell me you wanted to buy that new gundam kit that you've always wanted."
Shard approached the two once again and got their attention with a cough. Gaige turned to him and saw that he was rubbing the back of his head.
"I forgot to tell you, Flash broke a vase during art class so, we need your help," Shard explained, "You're his girlfriend, right?"
"OH MY GOD!" Gaige exclaimed in annoyance.
*****
"There hasn't been a change in the relationship," Gaige explained, "It's been a month!"
"You'll be okay, besides isn't he like your first boyfriend?" Vinyl asked.
"First and LAST. I have decided to become a Nun if ever I break up with Brad," Gaige pointed out as she crossed her arms, "But, it wasn't a waste on my part. Seeing throughout my first year here we repeatedly took one step back as we took one step forward, but..."
"But?" Vinyl asked with a brow raised.
"If you say something's changed... Something did change," Gaige groaned, "Due to Flash announcing in a loud ass voice in school, my name has become 'Girlfriend' or 'Asian Empress' when addressed in third person. Every damn day I hear people whisper those when I'm around."
"Well, you could say you're popular."
"And alongside that, sometimes I receive attacks from girls I don't even know. It's like my locker became a suggestion box when I started going out with the idiot," Gaige continued while she played with her fingers, "Sometimes there are times when they are from Flash himself."
"I'd probably put in my mixtape in there if I had the chance," Vinyl joked, "....Huh, maybe I will."
"Baka. As I was saying, it seems as though every trouble concerning Flash would come to me," Gaige said while she kicked a pebble away from her, "Ugh, and I tried to grant his wishes this one time... And I f*cking regretted every single second of it."
*****
Infront of Flash's house, the couple stood near the front door. Flash pointed out a few things to Gaige while she listened intently. The boy then took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and gave it to Gaige, which made her confused.
"...Exactly why do I still have to wear this?" She asked.
"For the dramatic effect!" Flash explained, "It has to be perfect!"
"Just this one time alright?"
"Yes. Please."
"Fine."
With that said, Gaige put the sunglasses on. Flash let out a joyful grin as he opened the door. He led Gaige inside and to the kitchen where they saw Aura, Flash's mother. The boy got his mother's attention as he began to speak.
"Mom, meet my girlfriend, Gaige," Flash introduced, "She's Japanese!"
"What's up." Gaige greeted confidently.
Suddenly, Flash elbowed Gaige in the arm. Gaige groaned in pain as she glared at Flash.
"In Japanese." Flash whispered.
"UGH! KONICHIWA SUSHI WASABI TERIYAKI SAUCERO!" Gaige exclaimed with her over the top Japanese accent, "MITSUBISHI TOYOTA HYUNDAI!"
*****
"In the end, I asked myself, what does doing out even mean?" Gaige sighed, "Ugh, it seems as if it just got more bothersome."
"Again, you'll get used to it eventually," Vinyl pointed out while she smiled, "By the way, whatever happened to you and Twilight? I mean, now that you're dating Brad."
"Well, there was this one time she came to visit. I think she heard it from Sunset and came to me head on," Gaige explained, "She gave me a smile and congratulated me. That was pretty much it."
"What about Neon?"
"Ooooohh right you used to bang Neon," Gaige said, "Same thing, different reaction."
*****
At the outdoor of Hoofbucks next to the doorway inside, Gaige vigorously sucked her iced coffee while she counted the cars passing by. She was waiting for Flash to show up and had been seated there for a very long time now. Suddenly, the doors opened and out came Neon holding a drink. The two awkwardly made eye contact as Gaige jumped up and started to become hysteric.
"Oh? Calm down, I'm not going to eat you mate," Neon called out as he checked his watch, "Are you doing well? With Flash I mean."
Gaige gulped and wiped the sweat coming from her head. She sat back to her chair and played around with her drink.
"T-Thanks to you... We started going out..." Gaige said in a low voice while she avoided eye contact with Neon.
"Oh? Ah well, I thought it was likely going to end up like that," Neon said as Gaige raised a brow, "In that situation with me confessing, no matter how much an idiot Flash is, It'd turn out like that, right?"
Gaige turned to Neon with a surprised look.
"I'd love to chat but I have to be somewhere, see you around Gaige," Neon said with a smile on his face, "Hope you guys get along well."
After saying farewell to her, Neon departed while Gaige watched him with a dumbfounded look. It was the first time that she was scared of talking to someone, but somehow it was lighthearted. However, she was oblivious to what Neon was actually feeling.
Meanwhile after disappearing from Gaige's sight, Neon grasped his chest and felt the pain inside him.
"In the end, nothing has changed," He said to himself while he took a sip of his drink, "If only I lost interest, I'd be much happier."
*****
Monday rolled and everyone was back to school once again. Gaige was walking in the hallways and headed towards Doctor Hooves's office to borrow a few books. While walking, the only thing that was on her mind was the camping trip to Everfree forest in the coming days. The goal of trip was to have the students mingle with each other, and Gaige had a plan to strengthen her relationship with Flash by using the said event.
She soon reached the office and went inside. As usual, books and science materials littered the office. Gaige was about to call out on the Doctor until she saw Flash sleeping on the couch while a book was on his face. Gaige slowly approached the boy as she placed her right hand on her hip.
"The hell is he doing here?" She whispered, "Now that I think about it, he did say something about being good friends with Mr. Hooves... No wonder he keeps on loitering here."
Gaige stared at the boy for a few minutes until her face began to start glowing red. An urge to touch Flash's hair started to circulate in Gaige's sensory. Instantly, she grabbed his hair without hesitation as Flash groaned in pain.
"Ouch! How did you know I was awake?" He asked while he got up.
"Brad! You were awake?!" Gaige exclaimed in surprise.
Flash shook his head and rubbed his eyes.
"I thought someone was coming, so I pretended to be asleep," He explained, "But when you started talking, I quickly realized it was you."
Flash dropped the book that was on his face on the ground. Gaige picked it up and noticed it was an advanced book about physics. She opened it and started to read, even though she couldn't understand what the words meant.
"An introduction to Atomic Physics? You understand this?" Gaige asked.
"I just got bored and started reading it, but it's not that hard," Flash answered while he yawned and bowed his head, "If you understand high school physics, then you'll get most of it."
Surprised, Gaige was mesmerized on how Flash said something smart for once. However, due to his distracting hair, Gaige once again yanked his hair. Flash swatted Gaige's hand in annoyance and glared at her.
"Again, ow. What are you doing?" Flash asked his girlfriend, "Do you not like my head that much?"
"S-Sorry! I couldn't resist tugging your hair!" Gaige said.
"Huh?"
Flash sighed and bowed his head closer to Gaige, making her confused.
"It's okay, you want to touch my head," Flash insisted, "Right?"
Without hesitation, Gaige crouched and began to tug Flash's hair with both hands. Flash began to moan like a dog as he felt relaxed from Gaige's handling. For Gaige, her face began to turn redder and redder as she felt the great sensation of tugging his hair. Almost as if she wanted to hug him.
Suddenly, Flash looked up to Gaige and stared at her right in the eyes.
The two broke the kiss as Flash slowly moved away from Gaige. However, Flash saw Gaige's stunned look and began to panic. He became flustered and flailed his hands around.
"N-No! That didn't happen!" Flash exclaimed in fear, "Don't get mad!"
"N-No... It's fine," A blushing Gaige replied while she covered her mouth with her wrist, "I didn't hate that just now."
After hearing this, Flash instantly became aroused and his heart started to beat fast. Suddenly, both heard the door open, which made Gaige stand up instantly in shock. She turned to her back and saw Doctor Hooves carrying a few books. Her face instantly became red as Flash pretended to sleep on the couch.
"Miss Mix?" The doctor said.
"S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-SIR!" Gaige greeted in embarrassment.
"That's rare, what happened?" Doctor Hooves asked while he placed the books on his table.
"I-I was wondering if I could borrow that r-r-red b-b-book about p-p-physics.." Gaige continued while she looked away, trying to cover her red face.
"Oh that book? Hold on let me get it for you."
Doctor Hooves went to his bookshelf and looked for the book. He took out a red book from the top shelf and gave it to Gaige. He then sat on his table as he rubbed his chin.
"Say, Miss Mix, what are you going to do after High School?" Doctor Hooves asked, "You're more of the science type, right?"
"You know me too well sir," Gaige laughed, "I'm thinking of going back to Japan because they have these universities designed for people like me... And not Brad. My biggest interest would be research and working with technology."
"How promising," Doctor Hooves sighed, "And Flash over here has chosen a different career path."
"What does he want to do?"
"Tuna fishing in the Atlantic ocean."
Gaige cringed upon hearing Flash's morbid dream and performed a facepalm. She then glared at the boy, who was still pretending to sleep and was still thinking about how adorable his girlfriend's face was earlier.
"Oh man I have the urge to punch a certain guy now," Gaige said sarcastically while she cracked her knuckles, "SOMEONE is going to die a horrible thousand deaths!"
"When you find your path, you must ignore fear. You need to have the courage to risk mistakes," Doctor Hooves quoted, "Oh and are you attending this year's camping trip?"
"Ugh, I wish I didn't!" Gaige groaned as she sat on top of Flash, making him groan in pain, "But since I'm dating Brad, Mom said I need to spend more time with him."
"Still having problems on being in a relationship?"
"Obviously."
Gaige stood up and played with her hair. She took a deep breath and gave a worried look to the teacher infront of her.
"Me and him can make this work. I know we can," Gaige proclaimed as she walked towards the door, "And at camp, I'm making the most of it."
"That's good to hear," Doctor Hooves smiled, "Well, I wish you goodluck and enjoy your escapade at Camp Everfree."
