"Why do I have to be dragged into things I don't care about?"

"If you don't hold any regret in your choice, that means you must've made the right decision. No matter what you choose, a person will always continue to imagine the untaken path." Blaze finished.

Blaze let out a simple smile while Gaige stared blankly at him. She then let out an amazed expression and began to clap slowly.

"So.. I should just keep going?" Gaige asked.

"Correct," Blaze replied, "Well this was a unique encounter between us, but I need to head off. See you next time Gaige."

Blaze looked at his phone to check the time. He let out a soft whistle and began to depart, waving to Gaige goodbye as the girl watched on. However, the older boy stopped on his tracks and went back to Gaige, remembering something that he forgot to tell her.

"Say, can you come to my birthday?" Blaze asked with a smile.

"Birthday?" Gaige asked with a brow raised.

"It will be next month, if you'd like to, please come... And bring Flash along."

".....Hating Flash and then inviting him to your birthday party," Gaige murmured, "I really don't understand what you're thinking dude."

"Well, that's true but this can't be about my personal feelings. I've been under the care of these slightly officious old men, who will be attending the party. On that day, if he isn't present, there will be complaints," Blaze chuckled while he played with his fingers, "That's why if I invite you, I was wondering if Flash would also come."

"....What a selfish person," Gaige whispered in annoyance, "Well, I'll think about it. But before that, there's going to be a school fair happening in CHS."

"Birthday party?"

At a hospital bedroom, Blaze sat on a couch as he faced a bed. On the mattress was an adult who resembled him and his brother Flash, only he had slicked blue hair and a mustache and was wearing patient's robes. He had rather an irritated look instead of the usual look you give when your kid visits you in the hospital. The room was rather well ventilated, and the two felt relaxed. However, the feelings weren't mutual. The adult put down the newspaper down and looked at Blaze.

"Dad, it's to celebrate my coming of age," Blaze said to his father, who was named Sheperd Sentry, "Will it be alright during this sort of time?"

"It will only be with people I'm close to," Sheperd replied with his deep gruffy voice, "The chairman has been annoying me about it."

"I guess this is a social gathering for his comeback?" Blaze thought, "I understand."

"How is Flash? Does he feel like making amends with us yet?"

"Does he feel like coming back yet? Well, things are progressing smoothly."

"Do whatever it takes! Having disinherited is having bad for the press. The chairman is so annoying, I can't stand it. That old man even sticks his nose into other families' problems, acting like he's the master as though he is a man of character."

"..Is it alright to say such things to your own supporter?" Blaze replied, "Anyways, I have no idea what you're talking about."

"If only you or Flash had both your strengths!"

Blaze sat silently and looked away. He felt embarrassed at what his father has said to him, feeling like he was a let down to him. He let out a sigh and stood up and began to walk towards the exit.

"Well, forget it! Blaze, you manage that birthday party. Don't disappoint me." Sheperd commanded.

"Roger that..." Blaze replied silently as he made his exit.

"GAIGE. I. AM. SORRY."

"Hazel, you stupid idiot..."

"As the leader of the advertisement group, I decided on an extraordinarily cute Hatsune Miku costume that you wanted. But in the end, while I was working, this sort of tragedy took place!"

It was a warm Monday morning in Canterlot High. Dozens of stands scattered throughout the front yard stretching to the parking lot of the school, and so did the countless students manning each of their stands with their own products and services to sell. Due to the damages of previous catastrophic events such as Sunset Shimmer blowing up the front of the school, Principal Celestia decided to hold a school fair in order to raise money for future damages in case something magical happened again.

At the parking lot near Flash's car, a pink stand was erected. This was Pinkie Pie's group, which consisted of her, Swift, Hazel, Gaige and Flash. Hazel knelt and bowed infront of a Gaige, who was wearing some sort of cat costume that you couldn't even identify who was inside of it, nor could you notice Gaige's blood boiling from anger. Swift and Pinkie were busy preparing the stand as Flash was still inside his car putting on his uniform and hadn't come out to greet the guys yet.

"In the end, the costume was annihilated! And I had to borrow dad's company mascot costume!" Hazel cried in fear.

"So basically you botched it by spilling hot chocolate on it, burned it with an iron, and somehow tried to put it on and tore it to two?" Gaige asked.

"On the other hand, I made mine cute to match yours but it was so adorable I wore it without thinking!" Hazel continued, referring to her white uniform as she looked up to Gaige, "But if you want, we can swap!"

"No, it's fine, instead of being made to wear some sort of strange outfit, this is much better." Gaige replied while she adjusted the cat head.

"HAH! Gaige, what's that strange outfit you got on?!" Pinkie laughed as she went beside Gaige and placed a ribbon on the cat ear, "Oh look! Putting on the ribbon makes you look super cute!"

"You're not helping Pinkie!"

"Sure I am! Plus this is fan service for the readers!"

"...Only I can break the fourth wall in my story Pinkie.."

On cue, Flash came out of his car wearing a white uniform that resembled a construction workers outfit. He quickly adjusted his pants and went beside of Gaige, oblivious to the fact that she was inside the cat costume.

"Morning guys! Let's do our best yeah?" Flash said with a smile.

"Morning Brad." Gaige called out.

Instantly, Flash froze and turned to the person wearing the cat costume. He covered his mouth and began to blush hard as he looked at his girlfriend with a surprised look.

"G-G-Gaige?" Flash said as he simply stared at the cat head.

"Somehow Flash's face is of a man whose 'Girlfriend's image change is spot-on to his liking'." Hazel said.

"That's spot-on to his liking?" Swift asked as he joined in with Pinkie and Hazel, "Isn't that just perverted?"

Soon enough, Principal Celestia's voice was heard in the PA system of the school telling everyone to assemble in the gym for orientation and to advertise each student's stand. For Pinkie's stand, they had to sell sweets from Sugarcube Corner, and Gaige and Hazel were appointed as advertisements. They had to do a short intermission in order to advertise their stand, in which Gaige wasn't all for. Still, she had to do it or she was going to spend the whole day cleaning the whole area along with the ones who didn't have a stand.

After doing an embarrassing dance with Hazel onstage, the students headed outside and went to their respective stands. Gaige quickly took off the cat head (Due to the extreme heat inside of that thing) and let the top of the costume down. This time, she was assigned to be a cashier since Flash disappeared for some reason. When the time was right, the outsiders began to pile in and wandered the school premises. Gaige began to get occupied by dozens of customers wanting to try Sugarcube Corner's delights.

Time passed by as she faced familiar and non familiar faces, her shift was almost up and it was Flash's turn, who was still missing in action. As she was about to time out, a familiar perverted man wearing a suit stood infront of the stand.

"My my, Miss Gaige what are you wearing?" Curtis asked with a sly smile as he leaned on the stand.

"What? It's a cat costume," Gaige replied, "I think it's cute, had to go onstage do some crappy dance with Hazel."

"Did someone call me?!" Hazel shouted as she sprung out of nowhere next to Gaige.

"Ah Hazie!" Curtis exclaimed in glee, "Your outfit is so cute! Is it supposed to be a little girl? You fit some tragic character!"

Hazel immediately cringed and froze as she glared at Curtis. She grabbed Gaige and moved away from Curtis.

"I can't deal with that person, but I don't want to say that to one of Flash's acquaintances." Hazel whispered.

"...So why don't you act like you normally do? You can even call him an old geezer," Gaige replied as she stretched her arms, "Anyways, I heard that Treble's group is selling Takoyaki balls! Man those were the stuff back in Japan."

"Come on Gaige you're gonna leave me with this pervert?"

"If you don't like him, just say it clearly. I also need to find Brad, so take over a bit 'kay?"

"Ugh, alright."

With that said, Gaige happily skipped away, leaving Hazel with Curtis. The girl slowly approached the pervert and slowly smiled at him, exciting the old guy. Hazel now had a full smile and leaned on the stand as well.

"It feels so gross when you call me Hazie, please don't call me that," Hazel said, still attaining her strong smile, "When I'm facing away, please don't look as though you're running your tongue over me. Please stop touching me 'accidentally'. Please don't wink at me from your rear view mirror."

"Youch, it's all coming out like a broken dam." Curtis chuckled.

"Also stop sexually harassing me with your face."

After getting some Takoyaki from her brother, Gaige roamed and roamed through the dozens of people that attended the school fair. Seeing how Curtis was present in the event, Blaze must not be far from her. Concerned, she hurriedly scouted for Flash to tell him that his brother was present.

"There will be trouble if I don't find Brad, I can't allow that," Gaige contemplated, "Wait, why did that I just say that?"

As the top of her costume swayed on her hips, she realized that she has gotten way more concerned about Flash. The more she got closer to her, the more she got attached to him. Questioning herself, was this love?

"Even though he said he was scared of being lonely.."

Back at the Pinkie's stand, Flash had made his way back and was now his shift. Beside him was Swift, who was concerned about Flash's facial expression. He had a glaring look that might scare the costumers.

"Huh, no one's coming." Flash wondered.

"Uh, maybe you should act more cutely, like me!" Swift suggested, "I mean, Pinkie's forcing me to do it, but you're scaring the costumers dude."

"Fine, I'll try."

"Quickly, here comes one now."

Flash closed his eyes and prepared himself. He tried to think of happy thoughts that would make him smile like an idiot. First thing on his mind was Gaige's blushing face, which immediately excited him.

"Excuse me, can I have a cupcake please?" The costumer ordered.

As Flash heard the costumer, he gave out a big smile and opened his eyes. He grasped both of his arms together and began to act cutesy.

"Okie dokie lokie! Cupcake it is! Please wait a mo-"

At that moment, embarrassment shrouded Flash. Infront of him none other than his brother, Blaze, who was also smiling and completely oblivious that it was Flash as well. The two brothers quickly cringed and looked away in embarrassment as Swift began to laugh.

"HEYHEY! Just like that Flash!" Swift laughed while he handed a cupcake to Blaze.

Blaze took a bite of the cupcake, but immediately spit it out in disgust. Swift raised a brow as Flash glared at his older brother.

"The hell? Why is it spicy?" Blaze asked.

"What? Do you have a problem with the cupcake I made?" Flash said in annoyance as he crossed his arms, "Eat it all up, you sweet toothed bastard."

"...Remind me not to have you bake next time." Swift said.

"Did you make this Flash? I'm telling you this outright, your sense of taste is broken," The irritated Blaze said, "This is a desecration to all cupcakes."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Flash exclaimed as he raised his fist.

As the two began to brawl, Gaige arrived holding a corndog.

"Ah crap I'm too late," Gaige said, "I shouldn't have went on an eating spree."

Before the two brothers could lay fist to each others faces, Gaige went between the two to break it up.

"Blaze, stop provoking my Brad," Gaige pleaded, "And I know you came here because you needed a favor, right?"

Blaze stood silently and stared at Gaige while Flash looked at them blankly. Suddenly, Flash had another glare directly at Blaze.

"What? You need a favor? Definitely not going to listen." Flash said with a grudge.

"This Sunday, I'll be hosting a birthday party and you have to attend." Blaze exclaimed.

"Is that the attitude you have when you ask others for something?! NOT GOING!"

"I HAVEN'T ASKED YOU YET THOUGH!"

"Christ, these two... I think I can understand what Flash's mom said before about these two not being able to communicate if there's no interpreter because of their 'Fight on' reflex," Gaige whispered, "It's like babysitting two kids."

"The president said that the siblings have to be together or he won't yield, or else he won't provide support to dad," Blaze sighed as he bowed, "I know it's selfish, but I promise you I won't bother you any further so... I'm begging you, please attend."

Silently, Flash contemplated on what his decision was. However, he had pure hatred for this person, even if they were related. It was due to one certain incident in the past.

"...No way. When grandma collapsed, you didn't do sh*t," Flash said, "I have no obligations to help you guys out."

Hearing what his younger brother said, Blaze looked up in sadness and departed without saying a word. He disappeared in the corner while Flash crossed his arms and sighed in annoyance.

"Wow, you just went full on CM Punk on his ass, will he be alright?" Gaige asked.

"It's fine," The irritated Flash said, "Even if I'm not there, they'll get by anyway."

"Come on dude, he looks like he's in a pinch."

Behind the school where the soccer field was located, Blaze stood silently infront of the bleachers. He watched the leaves fall from the trees as he sighed.

"Blaze."

A familiar voice came from behind Blaze. He turned around and saw Flash sitting on the bleachers staring at him with a serious look.

"I'll go, but this is the last time," Flash said, "That's why, you shouldn't break into my world anymore."

The siblings silently stared at each other. Blaze let out a smile and turned his back on his brother. He felt relieved and somehow, happy. Blaze stopped on his tracks and turned back to Flash.

"I owe you one." Blaze said as he finally departed and disappeared.

As Blaze disappeared from his sight, Flash contemplated on things regarding his family and his future; for himself and with Gaige. He remembered something in the past that let him open up to be the person he is today. As he sat there, Gaige arrived and saw him. She slowly walked behind the bleacher and behind Flash.

"...I'm going dude. Going to make sure you ain't doing the holocaust." Gaige said.

"Hmm, remember when you said that I will be surrounded by people one day? That precious moment when you hugged me?" Flash smiled, "Do you know how much I was saved by those words?"

Flash turned back to Gaige and smiled like he never smiled before, which surprised his girlfriend.

"Do you know how much hope they gave me?" Flash said.

Soon enough, Gaige's chest began to pound real fast. The warm smile that Flash had made her relieved. Not a single thorn pierced her angst heart, it felt like she was watching the sun set in the beach. She wasn't sure why she was happy. Was it because she has grown attached to the person she loves?

It was now Sunday. Around ten in the morning, a black car arrived at Flash's home. At the doorstep, Gaige and Flash stood as Curtis came out of the car and opened the back doors. Flash wore the casual black suit that he usually wears while Gaige wore the dress that Rarity let her borrow during the dance. She didn't wear any sort of make up, and had her hair done like it usually did. As Flash would normally act, he wore an annoyed expression once more.

"Hi, my name is Curtis! I've come to pick you up!" Curtis smiled as he gestured the back seats, "Please come along!"

"Please take care of us." Gaige said as she approached the car.

"Ugh, why is Gaige coming?!" Flash asked.

"Hahaha, Blaze said Miss Gaige must come along," Curtis chuckled, "Now please, get in the car."

"He even sent a car?! I can't trust this, Gaige let's just walk." Flash insisted.

"No, I'm fine with the car," Gaige replied with a groan, "As much as I hate walking, I don't want to walk around town wearing this sort of dress. It destroys my character."

"Well then, we'll be counting on you today, young master! Just for this short tie, please behave." Curtis suggested to Flash.

"Shut up. I got it." Flash groaned as he got in the car.

With that said, the two settled in and Curtis started to car as they headed for the party.

"Just for this day, I have to pretend that those people are my family right?" Flash asked.

"That's right." Curtis replied.

Gaige sat quietly and looked at Flash in concern. To this day, he was still a mystery for her, she still hasn't gotten to know him better. His well being, yes, but for his relationship with his family? It was still a locked chest for her. A chest that was missing the key. Was it really alright for her to go to the party?

"By the way Miss Gaige," Curtis called out as he looked at Gaige, "Do you plan to go in with that outfit?"

"Huh? I wore this during the dance, there's nothing wrong with it," Gaige explained, "This is a birthday party, right?"

"It's a birthday party." Flash and Curtis said in unison.

"....U-Um, was there some sort of dress code?" Gaige asked as she began to became uneasy, "Please don't make me wear something that Rarity would wear."

"Hahahahaha! It will be fine!" Curtis chuckled while he looked at Gaige with a sly smile, "Since I was given Blaze's wallet!"

Immediately, the car stopped. Gaige looked out of the window and found herself in the shopping district of Canterlot. She looked at the side and saw the building she dreaded to enter; A fancy saloon. Her eyeballs shrank and started to sweat. Curtis brought out his phone and began to dial a number.

"Oh hello? I will be bringing a young lady over. Yes, hair and make-up," Curtis said, "What am I looking for? I want to find a ress and other things that suit a young lady."

Next thing she knew, Gaige found herself behind a curtain with only in her underwear. The curtain slightly opened and a woman handed a dress to her. Looking over the dress, she immediately cringed on how feminine it was. Outside of the curtains, she could hear Curtis conversing with the employees of the saloon.

"Show off what a woman should possess! Come out and show some legs, Miss Gaige!" Curtis called out, "It will be fine! From the very start, make-up and clothes make a girl seven times prettier! Darling shop assistant, bring that mini-skirt here!"

"NO F*CKING WAY!" Gaige exclaimed in fear.

"It would have been great if you came out in that cat outfit again.." Flash said while he checked a pair of high heels.

"Since we don't have much time, please get it on her if she resists." Curtis commanded.

"Understood." One of the employees said.

"NO WAY. NO F*CKING WAY!" Gaige shouted.

Gaige liked Flash. She wanted to get along with him. But why has she become so uneasy?
