In the midst of a flower garden, a young boy thoroughly played alone in glee. He was not rather alone, but was with a butterfly he was chasing. Behind him was a house, it was an average sized building. Over by a table and chair near the doorway, a lone old woman sat and watched the young boy, who came running down to her.

"Grandma, how long has it been since I got here?" The boy asked.

"Good question Flash. Let me ask you, when did summer start?" The woman asked.

"Umm, two months ago?"

"Correct! So it's been two months since you decided to live here!"

Flash smiled as he sat with his grandmother. Together, the two watched on in the distance and saw the blue sky and valleys of mountains. The door to the house soon opened and out came an older boy.

"Blaze, where have you been?" The grandmother asked.

"Went to town and picked up some soda," Blaze replied, "And I decided to cool off."

"You should tell me or your grandfather where you are going first. You could have gotten into a mishap!"

"Grandma, I'm fine."

Flash noticed that Blaze wasn't smiling or show any signs of glee. His expression was rather disappointed after seeing him and their grandmother together. Soon after, Blaze took off and went back inside the house without saying a word. Ever since coming to this place, Blaze hasn't smiled. It wasn't the same when they were back home, which worried the young Flash.

A much older Flash stood on the snowy plains looking at the sky. He watched the snow fall from the sky and silently hummed the tune to what his grandmother would always sing to him. He had a bulky bag with him and a suitcase, which seemed he was going somewhere. He then heard footsteps from behind, and turned to see Blaze looking at him with an emotionless expression.

"Flash. Why did you leave?" Blaze asked, "Did you think you could go back to Mom and Dads?"

"Idiot, that makes two of us." Flash laughed.

"However, Blaze did not give any response. Nor did he look back to his brother. Blaze kept on walking until the point where Flash couldn''t take the silent treatment anymore.

"Blaze, do you hate me?" Flash asked.

"....Flash... Did you know? It's because of you, we had to come to this stupid place." Blaze replied with a cold tone.

Flash remained silent and was stunned of this revelation.

"We had to come here. You're the only one who's loved," Blaze continued, "Do you know what kind of feelings I have when I look at you? You haven't thought about it all, right? I always thought how great it would be if you weren't here."

"So you always thought of me like this? That's why I'm in your way?" Flash thought, "Why didn't I notice?"

In the aftermath of the confrontation between Flash and Gaige, the boy walked out on Gaige and made his way to an isolated part of the park where he sat alone contemplating of his past. As he sat on a set of staircase, he remembered the things that he had done with his brother, before he turned rouge on his younger brother.

"Young master." Curtis called out.

Flash slowly turned behind and saw Curtis walking up to him with a smile. He immediately turned his back on him and ignored the underling.

"You were in a place like this? It's a bother for me if you keep going to places whenever you please," Curtis said, "By the way, where's Miss Gaige?"

"How the f*ck should I know? She probably went home." Flash answered in a harsh tone.

Curtis remained silent for a minute, not wanting to anger the teenager. He realized what was going on and thought Flash was in the "Moving on" stage. He soon smiled and chuckled as Flash turned even more annoyed.

"Young master, the length was the same, but why are uniforms and casual mini skirts different?" Curtis asked, trying to lighten the atmosphere between them, "I also thought the same way when I was your age..."

"God damn it Curtis, leave me alone. I'm begging you."

"I see. Well, I'll wait in the car."

Curtis proceeded to leave and left Flash alone once more. He went back to his contemplating state and remembered the pierce that stabbed his heart when he heard Gaige's words.

I'm different compared to you. You don't understand my feelings.

Flash was tired of this. He was annoyed on why it always turns out like this.

"Everyone just comes and goes off on their own while I'm unaware..." Flash sighed.

Gaige and I, are the same. Your obliviousness makes me sick.

"Ugh, what am I oblivious about? The hell are you talking about Blaze?" Flash asked himself as he pinched the bridge of his nose, "Are you saying that it's because I don't know that it turns out this way?"

Confused by his words, Flash thought of Gaige to calm his nerves. However, the topic kept on going through his head over and over.

Gaige is the type of girl who speaks her mind plainly. She always looked like she was desperately clinging into something, which reminded him of himself. Flash always thought Gaige and him were similar. He thought if it was her, she would be able to understand him.

"I feel tired for some reason," Flash thought, "If it was going to turn out like this, I would've been better off alone. I've tried hard enough already, right?"

Inside Canterlot High, Sunset and Flash stood alone in the hallways. Sunset had her arms crossed and was glaring at Flash, who had an emotionless expression. Sounds of calling for help and boys laughing were heard in the hallways.

"...What did you make me do Sunset?" Flash asked.

"Wasn't it obvious? I used you," Sunset laughed sadistically, "Hear those screams? That's all your fault."

"...Isn't Fluttershy your friend? Are you just gonna stand there and watch?"

"She never was my friend, who would want to be friends with a freak who only has animals as friends?"

Angered, Flash punched the locker beside him, surprising Sunset. However, she wasn't afraid at all. She smiled in delight after seeing what her "Boyfriend" transformed into.

"You're a terrible person." Flash proclaimed as he left Sunset.

Sunset was not amused by this and was actually hurt from the words that Flash just said. She let out a groan and waited for the boys he hired to bully Fluttershy.

Flash made his way out of the school. His phone soon vibrated, which he hurriedly took out. He unlocked it and saw a dreaded message. His eyes shrank as he started to run as quickly as he can. His eyes began to get teary as he ran with full haste. Emotions were running in his mind as well, as if he was becoming insane.

Soon enough, he arrived at his Grandmother's house. He was tired, but it wasn't the time to stop. Slowly, he walked upstairs and saw an open door. There wasn't any light but he could hear sobbing inside. He walked up the room and opened it. From there, his humanity died; he saw his grandmother, lying on the bed, resting. Beside her was Flash's mother and grandfather, who were crying. His father, brother and other family members were not present.

Tears came out of Flash's eyes and he fell on his knees. After suffering way too much, he became a different person from then on.

"This world will always be hell," Flash said to himself, "Even now, this view hasn't changed."

He once again remembered the mental image of a teary eyed Gaige saying the same words that struck him. It then hit him, he was the one that made that happen. He wanted to ask what made her think that way. However, after seeing how the confrontation went, he realized that he was most definitely too late.

Once again in a very young age, Flash and Blaze walked home together. The older brother looked at Flash with concern, who was happily skipping beside him.

"Flash, you know it's bad to fight with your friends," Blaze said, "You were really looking forward to going to school, but you think school is no fun at all?"

"It's because they said I had been abandoned! I was so angry!" Flash answered, "Well, if they carry my homework and make up with me, I'll be fine with it!"

"No one will go near a child who bullies people..." Blaze chuckled with a smile, "Flash, if you're lonely, tell me. Because for you, I'll make a place where you can belong!"

Blaze let out an even bigger smile. It was very heartwarming to see, and it made Flash really happy.

However, Flash was fine with not having that. Because the place where Blaze smiles, is where he belongs.

Inside Hoofbuck's bathroom, Gaige placed her dress inside her bag and put on her regular clothes. However, instead of reverting back to her pigtails, she kept the hairstyle for now, not wanting to lose the princess look.

"Wow, who would have thought that when you remove the eyelashes, they would stick together," She said to herself, "Heh, girls are so complicated these days."

She felt an ache in her chest. She grasped on to her chest and felt her heart pounding slowly and hard. The anxiety has come back to her after remembering Flash's face during their encounter at the party. He did not make eye contact with her whatsoever. The boy who keeps pushing his way into her sight had walked out on her.

"When I see Brad tomorrow, I'll apologize," Gaige hoped to herself, "I'll apologize for bursting out at him like that, and talk to him normally. It will be fine, I'm sure he'll laugh and say 'I see!' as he always does."

There, she learned how easily normality breaks.

The next day, Flash did not come to school.

Jeg skutt en gang en airsoft pistol inn i rumphullet mitt. Det gjorde vondt vondt. Men heldigvis var det en innsats, og nå er jeg millionær. Jeg har nå nok penger til å bygge et gigantisk tårn med all den luren jeg vil ha inne i den. Ha ha
