Two weeks had passed since Blaze's party. Flash hasn't shown up at school ever since, nor did he text or call Gaige. Our worried protagonist sat on her stool staring at the window as the day passed by. Luckily, the bell for lunch rang, which ended her current class. She decided to stay for a while and waited for the classroom to be empty, as she needed the space she needed. She was still anxious about what happened between her and Flash, nor did she know if they were still a couple.

Suddenly, the door was knocked open. Gaige turned to the door and saw her brother Treble, Zero and Soul.

"SISTER SHUUYA! I KNEW YOU WOULD COME!" Treble said in a Shakespearean voice.

"What's up Treble, you forgot your lunch money again?" Gaige asked, "Do you need something?"

"Um, could I ask you to ask Flash to get a signature from a NASA astronaut?" Treble asked nicely, "As you can see from my room, I really like UFO's!"

"Wait... Flash is at NASA?" Gaige asked in disbelief.

"Isn't he? That's what everyone's saying." Treble added.

"Huh? I thought you guys said he was at WWE as a jobber?" Zero asked.

"No no, I think he was hired as an extra for the new Star Wars movie." Soul added.

Annoyed, Gaige left the three and headed for the cafeteria. Now a usual thing, Gaige took out her phone and decided to call Flash. The other end was ringing, but he wasn't answering. What could he be doing at this very hour? Gaige sighed and put away her phone, thinking it was her fault in the first place.

At the cafeteria, Sunset, Hazel and a returning Twilight Sparkle sat together alone on a table. Hazel had a saddened and worried look while Sunset and Twilight looked on. The three discussed the situation between Flash and Gaige, in which all three of them had significance for both of them.

"Thanks for coming to aid us Twilight. We have no idea on how to solve this kind of problem." Sunset said.

"For the time being, Prince- I mean, Principal Celestia says he's not in trouble for missing too many days since he has pretty good grades." Twilight said.

"When I asked his mother about him, she said Flash was out of town," Sunset added, "What could he be doing?"

"All Gaigie will tell me is that they had a little fight!" Hazel cried in sadness, "I guess she can't get a hold of Flash either."

"Maybe they broke up or something?" Sunset speculated.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING BACON HAIR?!"

"That would explain things right? Since if he broke up with Gaige, Flash would probably think coming to school is meaningless."

"NO WAY!"

On cue, Gaige was passing by holding a tray of food. She noticed that they were talking about her and Flash, so she stopped by and stood behind Hazel.

"The hell are you guys doing?" Gaige asked with a brow raised.

"GAIGIE! LOOK! I MADE FLIERS FOR FLASH!" Hazel said as she took out fliers containing a picture of Flash.

"....Are you looking for a dog or something?" Gaige asked, "Please don't do that."

Gaige proceeded to depart from the group, but was soon stopped when Hazel grabbed Gaige by the hand. Gaige turned to her and saw Hazel with tears coming out of her eyes.

"Aren't you worried about Flash at all?!" Hazel cried.

Gaige let out a groan and turned away. She swatted Hazel's hand off and started to walk away. Angered that her ship is broken, Hazel began to stomp on the ground and shout at Gaige.

"STUPID GAIGE! STUPID! STUPID! STUPID ASIAN EMPRESS!" Hazel shouted, irritating Gaige.

Even though she was irritated, Gaige completely ignored the girl and headed for the table her brother was located at. Hopeless, Hazel slammed her face on the table and cried once more as Twilight patted her on the head.

"Hazel, I think she's worried about Flash," Twilight said, "Let's just hope they get back together."

Once again on cue, Mijo joined in with the three after seeing them. She happily sat with the group, oblivious to what was happening at the moment.

"Isn't it a good day today?" She said to them, "Also just now, I gave Miss Gaige my usual greeting 'If you and Sir Flash aren't getting along, please give him to me', but she acted a bit differently this time. Did something happen?"

"...She's making jokes even now." Sunset whispered.

"Uh, Mijo right? Please don't make such a joke right now," Twilight sighed, "Because I think Gaige is worrying about Flash hasn't contacted her at all."

"Miss Twilight, what's there to gain from a girl flattering another girl?" Mijo smiled, "I think it's funny for girls to lick each other's wounds."

All of a sudden, Twilight remained silent and motionless, until her eye twitched and glared at Mijo.

"Really? I don't think so at all!" Twilight replied in anger.

"WHOA WHOA! MIJO! TIME OUT! OUT! OUT!" Hazel exclaimed while she mimicked a whistle.

"Mijo you're amazing, you managed to piss off Twilight." Sunset laughed as the two continued to argue.

At the Sentry residence, Gaige sat on a table (Literally) in the kitchen while she watched Flash's mother, Aura, wash the dishes. After school, Gaige decided to investigate on Flash's disappearance by heading to his home first, which was unfortunate because he wasn't there as well.

Aura wiped her hands with a cloth and faced Gaige with a saddened look.

"I'm sorry Gaige," Aura apologized, "So Flash hasn't contacted you.."

"It's been two weeks and I am in need of entertainment." Gaige groaned while she played with her hair.

"Seriously, what's with him?" Aura asked, "When I called him about a week ago, he only said that he won't be coming home for a while."

"What a fine disappearance." Gaige said as she rolled her eyes.

"I swear that kid will get a beating once he shows himself," Aura exclaimed while she clenched his fist, "I never really thought he would make you worry like this."

Indeed, Gaige was worried. She wasn't just showing it. She remained silent and her expression slowly turned to sadness, making Aura concerned for her.

"Where's Blaze even?" Gaige asked.

"Blaze is probably busy with school. I don't think he'll be back for a while," Aura replied, "What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing... Please excuse me." Gaige said as she stood up and headed off.

"Gaige, if Flash calls, I'll tell him to call you." Aura said to her as she soon disappeared from the room.

Gaige made her way outside, where she saw the afternoon sun slowly going down in the horizon. Such wonderful sight still couldn't light her feelings, it only made her even more depressed and anxious. She took out her phone and checked to see if there was any calls or text from Flash, but to no avail, there was none.

"Ah, it's all my fault," Gaige said to herself, "I can't think of it as anything else... That was the first time I saw Flash made that kind of face to me."

The feeling that she dreaded to felt again returned to her. A big burden once again appeared in her chest. The sadness that she felt was way worst than she felt during her first few months in Canterlot.

"It's terrible..." Gaige said in a low tone, "....That I can't apologize..."

"Hmm... Mijo transferred to fall inlove and have a cool boyfriend... SO WHY AM I HERE DRINKING SUCH A LOW-CLASS TEA?!"

At Hoofbucks, Mijo along with Spark, Knock Out, Lone and her older brother Neon were enjoying their afternoon together. The boys except Neon had their phones out and was seemingly playing a game together. Neon was reading a book while Mijo had her face planted on the table, complaining on her life while the others didn't mind what was going on in their surrounding.

"MIJO WANT'S A BOYFRIEND! A BOYFRIEND! A BOYFRIEND!" Mijo exclaimed as she pounded on the table.

"Neon, she's annoying. Do something about your DNA." Spark said, not taking his eye off his phone.

"Sorry, but that person isn't blood related to me." Neon plainly said, also not taking his eye off his book.

"B-Brother?!" Mijo cried out.

"Mijo, you're annoying. Just bang your dear Sir Flash already." Knock Out said, once again he did not take his eye off his phone.

"DON'T SAY SUCH VULGAR THINGS!" Mijo exclaimed, "No wait, NOW IS MIJO'S CHANCE! But my precious Sir Flash hasn't been coming to school!"

"...When the hell did you have a chance?" Knock Out asked.

"She's talking in her sleep, you have to be nice." Spark laughed.

Mijo regained her elegant posture and gave out a determined smirk. She looked at the boys with a determined look.

"Oh? You're stupid aren't you? If two lovers haven't met in two weeks, there's obviously a problem between them," Mijo explained, "Actually, he hasn't called Miss Gaige at all."

This caught the attention of Neon, who closed his book and started to listen.

"What? I just saw them at the party and they seemed totally fine!" Spark exclaimed.

"Then something must've happened after." Mijo answered.

"Why is that something for you to decide?" Knock Out added.

"But because of that, Miss Gaige doesn't look well at all," Mijo sighed, "Iyo is a bit bored."

All of a sudden, Neon packed up his things and left the group without saying anything. He made his way out of the building and walked towards the park, which was the only thing he can remember since he gets lost easily. While walking, he took out his phone and checked Spark's message from two weeks ago. There, he saw the picture of a well dressed Gaige that caught him off guard. Seeing it once again, his face turned red which made him put away his phone.

"Bloody hell, it's got nothing to do with me." He thought to himself.

Suddenly, Neon head a loud crunch near him. He looked around him and finally saw Gaige lying on a bench without a care in the world. Beside her was a plastic bag filled with junk food and an opened bag of chips. She took out a hand full of chips once again and shoved it to her mouth, creating an obnoxious crunching noise. Annoyed, Neon tried to ignore it and started to walk away, but the crunching began to irritate him even more. He eventually returned to Gaige with an angry look.

"Oi!" He called out.

Gaige blankly stared at him as she continued to eat her chips.

"Girls... Shouldn't lie on a bench eating potato chips." Neon said.

"Neon are you lost again, you want me to take you home?" Gaige asked sarcastically, "Also you look like sh*t, did Spark give you a hard time again?"

This irritated him even more, but kept his cool since he didn't want to give her another burden to handle, knowing that something happened between her and Flash.

"Did... Flash dump you?" Neon smiled, "Is that why you're sulking around like that? You're quite cheap."

"It's no concern of yours." Gaige responded while she continued to eat.

Neon could not take it any longer and decided to leave her.

"Even I... Have feelings." Gaige said.

Neon stopped as he heard those words coming from Gaige.

"I didn't think it would turn out this way... That I would be blamed like this."

"Oh good grief she's completely lost it!" Neon thought.

"That he would suddenly-"

"WHO GIVES! IF YOU FEEL THIS WAY, THEN THERE'S NO POINT TALKING ABOUT IT!" Neon exclaimed as he returned to Gaige.

Neon began to wonder about how he got rejected by this kind of girl. Not knowing what happened between her and Flash, Neon cooled off and decided to talk to her.

"You've never been hated by someone before, have you?" Neon asked, gaining the attention of Gaige who sat up and maintained a proper posture, "You haven't considered how others would react to your words, or hesitated on holding back what you've wanted to say in fear of them hating you, right? Heh, serves you right."

Gaige stopped eating and swallowed a mouthful of chips.

"What's wrong with that?" She asked.

"I wonder, from the start, I don't know what happened between you two," Neon continued with a smirk, "But, if you feel troubled, I can help out if you want."

Gaige blankly stared at him and took time to consider about what he proposed to her. After a moment of silence, she had decided what to do.

"Thanks, because of you I just figured something out," She said while she placed her hand on her chin, "There's nothing to be done just thinking about it by myself. I have to talk to Brad since it's all about me and him."

"I see..." Neon sighed as he rubbed his neck.

"It's been a while Nylon," Gaige smiled as she stood up, "If you want, I can take you to the bus stop."

'No need."

"Weren't you wandering around for a bit before you called me out?"

"IF YOU SAW ME, YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST SAID HI!"

Gaige walked towards Neon and looked at him for a few seconds. She tilted her head, raised a brow and placed a finger on her chin as she looked at him with a questioning look.

"Didn't I reject you?" Gaige smirked.

"HUH?! When did I-"

"You said you didn't have any intentions on being friends with me." Gaige interrupted with a playful pout.

Neon tried to say something, but no words came out even if he wanted to express his annoyance. In the end, he let Gaige take her to the bus stop.

As the two walked side by side, Gaige remembered the past and her anxiety turned to the worst. When Flash asked her how she understood how she felt to him, it was the first time she understood how pointless it was to say that. If she wanted to understand, Gaige thought she should have tried harder.

"Nylon, I found out something while I was at that party," Gaige said to Neon, "I found out why I do what I do so desperately. It was to make sure I wouldn't realize, to make sure I wouldn't get hurt. Because I might not have been needed."

"Huh? You mean the whole robot thing?" Neon asked.

"Well, to put it bluntly, right when I thought Flash and I were the same, I realized we aren't, and somehow, I was pissed at hi about it."

"You're quite a nasty girl."

Gaige smiled and chuckled as she continued to walk.

"That's true, even I think I'm a terrible person," Gaige laughed, "Of course, Flash's angry. I took my own irritation out on my boyfriend."

"...You're good just the way you are," Neon said while he avoided eye contact with Gaige, seemingly trying to hide the red on his cheeks, "You're too honest. It's alright to take it out on him..."

Upon realization, Gaige's face turned hard red but still couldn't fight the anxiety and sadness she felt. If only she had listened to Flash more. Back then, if only she had looked right at him. It has always been Flash reaching out on her.

"F*cking hell girl, get yourself together!" Gaige thought as she shook her head, "It's because of you, I couldn't say that. That it turned out like this! As if i would let things end here! SCREW YOU AUTHOR FOR MAKING THINGS COMPLEX."

Neon however, he too soon remembered something in the past. Specifically when he met Blaze at the hospital. The one question that kept on ringing on his mind, is he afraid of getting hurt? The answer wasn't certain, since he did not know what he was feeling towards the girl beside him.

"Then... Why aren't you rushing off to find him?" Neon said slowly.

"I just thought of that just now," Gaige said as she placed a finger on her chin, "I wonder if he's working on a tuna fishing boat? Then he is prepared to get mauled by me."

"I want to know why you thought of that." Neon exclaimed in surprise.

The two made their way to the shopping district to get to the bus stop. While there, Gaige realized once again that she always took it for granted that Flash would come back really soon, but since they had a fight, there's a possibility that he might not ever come back. Gaige's eyes began to spin and felt uneasy. Her eyes widened and mouth opened as she imitated a restarting computer, which made Neon questioned.

At the sight of Gaige completely losing it, Neon felt sorry for her and decided to do something about it. He rubbed his neck and took out his phone. He scrolled on to Flash's number, and to his surprise, the phone was ringing. What caught him in an even bigger surprise is when the boy actually answered the call. Neon placed the phone unto his ears to hear what Flash had to say.

"The hell do you want?" Flash said through the phone.

"Oi, the hell are you doing, you idiot?" Neon replied.

"Huh? What am I doing?"

With all hope lost, Gaige let out a big groan as she stopped walking near a donut shop and stood silently. Once again she let out another disappointed groan to express what she was feeling. Neon and Flash continued to exchange words through the phone, in which Gaige ignored.

"UGH! AUTHOR GIVE ME A DAMN HINT FOR F*CK'S SAKE!" Gaige screamed to the heavens.

Suddenly, the door to the donut shop opened, and the person who came out surprised Gaige. Coming out of the shop was Flash, who was holding a box of donuts and his phone on the other hand seemingly talking to Neon. The couple, well, ex couples depending on your view is, soon noticed each other. It led to an awkward and silent confrontation, with both becoming uneasy of the presence of each other. The two continued to stare at each other, beginning to sweat in the process. Knowing how awkward it will get, Gaige decided to speak up.

"Flash... What the hell are you doing...." Gaige asked.

"....Buying donuts..." Flash excused.

"I CAN SEE THAT."

He was closer than expected.
