"I... Want to see Flash."

Anxious, Gaige walked through the park with her chin up. She now had the courage to talk to Flash yet she was still filled with overwhelming angst. She planned on seeing Flash after her encounter with an emotional Neon.

"If I see Brad, the first thing I'll do... Is apologize," Gaige thought to herself while she let out a weak smile, "Yeah, I'll tell him I want to make up with him and convey my feelings."

With that decided, Gaige took out her phone and decided to dial Flash. However, she soon noticed a small phone icon on the top right of her screen. She grew confused by this and wondered what it meant, having not notice it after all this time. She was then reminded that her phone vibrated once in a while during the last few weeks. She quickly googled it and found out it was supposed to be a sign of voicemail.

She opened it up and saw that it was dated during Blaze's birthday. She clicked on it and soon a roaring voice came blaring out of the phone's speakers.

"DON'T RAGE DRIVE YOU BASTARD!" The voice mail said which was recognized as Flash's voice.

"...The hell is he doing?" Gaige said to herself.

"Um... Due to extenuating circumstances, I will be away from home for about two weeks. I couldn't let you worry so I called to tell you."

Gaige became surprised by this. Flash kept the promise that Gaige said to him when she got herself a new phone. Upon realizing this, it felt like it was her fault that it was this awkward that they've gotten. The angst became even more overwhelming and all the energy to face Flash soon disappeared.

"I'll come back, when I calm down," The voice mail continued, "Then, let's talk again."

Gaige knew, that Flash was always thinking about her.

It was now night time and Gaige made her way to Canterlot High. The anxious girl took the initiative and courageously texted her boyfriend to meet up. Flash told her to meet him at the school, which felt pretty weird since it was a weekend and it was already night time. Nonetheless, she still wanted to see him.

Gaige positioned back her scarf back on her neck as she walked towards the school. From the distance, she saw a boy sitting on top of the statue watching the stars. As she came close, it was clear that it was Flash on the statue. The boy still didn't realize she was there, while Gaige stood and watched him from below. She let out a nervous sigh and mustered every courage, every emotional energy she had and step aside all of her angst. It was now or never, deciding what Flash and her fate was.

"Flash!" Gaige exclaimed to the boy.

This indeed got the attention of Flash, much to Gaige's nervousness coming back again. Normally, Flash would smile in glee upon seeing her girlfriend, but this time it was different. He wore a bored expression as he stared at Gaige through the eye.

"Gaige? The heck are you wearing?" The unamused Flash said.

"What? My mom forced me into this and my brother told me I looked better with my hair down," Gaige said with a blushed look on her face, "Anyway, I'm not here to talk about that. I heard your voice mail earlier and... What was that message?"

Flash took a brief moment to process what she meant, and remembered the voice mail he sent to her a few weeks back.

"You told me to tell you where I went." Flash explained, still in an unamused state.

"Under those circumstances, I didn't think you'd call me." Gaige replied.

"Is that right?!" Flash said in a sarcastic voice as his expression quickly turned to irritation, "Well, sorry for being such a stubborn person!"

"A-At... Anyrate, Flash! You always act on your own too much!" Gaige said as she looked down in an attempt to avoid eye contact with Flash, "On that day, I-I... Was shocked, being taken to that sort of place. You went off somewhere by yourself... And left me alone."

"And?"

Gaige began to hit her limit. All of her emotions started to come out. Her face turned red and her eyes soon turned watery as Flash watched on.

"I'm f*cking pissed that even though I'm the one who puts more effort on whatever the hell I'm doing right now, you're always there thinking you're the better person! I'm angry that even if you don't do anything, people still care alot bout you!" Gaige exclaimed as loud as she could, "I was thinking about horrible things, and I was angry that I felt frustrated! Brad, because of you I-"

Gaige suddenly stopped running her mouth and looked up to where Flash was to find out that he was already gone. She felt a stab in her chest that hurt her emotionally. Tears soon built up in her eye as she felt the deep sadness of being left by the one she loved.

However, two arms soon wrapped around her neck. She felt someones breath on her hair and a calm sigh.

"Anything else?"

Flash's voice came from behind her. As he removed Gaige from her grasp, the girl turned to him and saw that he was smiling, much to her surprise.

"Gaige, You have a horrible way of expressing things!" Flash laughed with a big smile.

Soon enough, the tears from her eyes soon started to fall. Gaige stood motionless as tears dropped from her eyes. Flash started to panic and started fidgeting with himself.

"W-What's wrong?!" Flash panicked, "D-Does your stomach hurt?"

"No..." Gaige said as she wiped the tears from her eyes, "I'm just... Happy."

Some time in August, Gaige and Flash were walking side by side heading towards the market. Gaige then hoped onto a small concrete wall and started to balance herself as she walked.

"Sorry Brad, my dad is the type of person to act on thought," Gaige said to him, "Maybe because he wanted curry."

"Don't worry about it." Flash sighed.

"Hmm? You're not happy?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, it's your birthday, but I don't really see you being happy."

"Sorry, I've never celebrated my birthday with a complete family, so I never felt really happy about it," Flash said as he rubbed the back of his head, "I don't really get it."

"You're weird, and I like that about you Brad." Gaige smiled.

"...Did you eat something?" Brad smiled.

"...Just go with it because I'm in a good mood," Gaige said in an irritated tone, but soon turned into a warm smile, "Besides, when it was my birthday, you were in high spirits."

"Well, that was because it was your birthday," Flash smiled back, "So I wanted to celebrate."

"Aww, you're making my heart pound again," Gaige purred, "You're lucky I'm in a good ass mood today, or else you'd be kissing the concrete right now."

Soon, the two arrived at the market and bought the ingredients needed for the curry. After that, the two silently walked back to Gaige's home with her being in the front and Flash following on. However, due to the awkwardness and the silence bugging her, Gaige decided to speak up.

"Flash, have you ever felt the presence of another person?" She asked.

"Hmm? What about it?" Flash asked.

"On my birthday, you told me to call Aunt Sakura... And you were always besides me," Gaige explained, "It's such a small thing but, I could never do it. I mean hell, if I was alone, I definitely wouldn't have been able to do the call."

Gaige stopped walking and turned back to Flash with a warm smile.

"That's why, I wanted to congratulate you Brad," Gaige said to him, "Happy birthday Flash."

It was overflowing, irrepressible, and unable to be stopped.

"I... Thought you finally left my sorry ass," Gaige cried infront of Flash, "Since, I said something horrible."

Just like a kid, Gaige could only lash out her emotions. It felt like it was never ending and cried everything out just to make a point to her boyfriend.

"I wonder why that is... I didn't come here to say those things," Gaige continued on to cry, "The things I wanted to say w-were d-d-different! I d-d-didn't mean to hurt you... Please... Don't hate me! I love you because nobody has ever given me the love that you have given me and you are the only one that could ever love me this way. I love you because you always make me feel that I am worth something. I love you because you have a huge and honest heart... I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE SIMPLY YOU!"

After that, Gaige soon let out her tears and broke down. On the other hand, Flash soon saw the sad and depressing state that his girlfriend had. He placed his hand on Gaige's left cheek, but the girl still couldn't stop crying. Why did he think that his girlfriend was a strong person? Finally, he gave her a warm embraced once more, which surprisingly calmed the girl down.

"Gaige, I'm sorry." Flash apologized in a warm tone.

"....W-Why are you apologizing?" Gaige asked in a stuttering voice, "Even though the one who s-screwed up was me."

"I won't be hurt by those words," Flash answered, "So you can say those things. It's alright for you to say more, Gaige... Because I wouldn't leave you just because of that."

From that answer, Gaige's heart soon fluttered. It wasn't sadness or exactly happiness she was feeling, it was love that she felt. Something that she wanted to last forever, something that she wanted to feel with Flash Sentry.

However in the amidst of joy of getting back together and settling their differences, Gaige still hasn't stopped crying and endless tears poured from her eyes. Flash was once again surprised by this and tried to wipe them off with his shirt.

"W-Why are you still crying?!" Flash panicked, "Look I'm really sorry!"

"...Are you serious about that?" Gaige said while she rubbed her eyes.

Flash simply nodded and gave out a warm smile, which was the proper answer Gaige needed. Flash leaned and got closer to Gaige's face, which made her mad red. He planned on kissing her, but hesitated because Gaige looked like she didn't feel like doing so. The two gazed at each others eyes for a while, enjoying each others company and their love for each other. The girl then let out a sigh and closed her eyes, and that's when their whole world glistened in the night.

"AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!" Treble ended.

"Wait, how did your story of you and Vinyl hooking up went to your fanfiction turning into a real book?" Soul questioned.

It was now the night before a new year starts. Canterlot High had hosted a small fair and a fireworks display later on in the night. Dozens of people and food stands scattered throughout the front of the school and a batch of fireworks were situated at the roofs of the school. Oddly, it was still winter and everyone wore their typical winter clothes.

The gang consisting of Treble, Sunset, Soul, Mise, Night and Fluttershy were at the front of the Wonderbolt statue eating cotton candy and waiting for the others to show up. Treble had just concluded a bizarre story about his love story with Vinyl and parts about them being fictional characters, much to the confusion of everyone listening to his story.

"So you're basically telling us that we're all fictional characters controlled by thirsty folks who watch a pony cartoon because its fun?" Mise questioned.

"EXACTLY!" Treble smiled, "Heck, your author loves weed so much he took a picture of a random window because he thought it was funny!"

"..Uhuh."

"And this is why I never really mentioned you when I moved here." Soul said as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"And we're just here to extend the chapter and have one last appearance before this story gets to its climax!" Treble exclaimed once more, "NOW BACK TO YOU SUNSET!"

Ignoring what Treble said, Sunset stood near the boys as she was fidgeting with her phone. She then saw Hazel arriving at the school and waving at her from the distance. Sunset gave a small smile as Hazel approached her.

"Hey!" Hazel greeted.

"Hey there Hazel," Sunset greeted as well, "Did you just arrive?"

"Nah, I had a meet up with Ink earlier," Hazel explained, "I had to give her my notes for her novel."

"Well, we're just waiting for Twilight to come out of the portal and watch the fireworks together."

"Man it's so cold, I could the shipping fuel to heat me up right about now."

Just on cue, the statue began to spawn a whirlpool and out came Twilight, who stumbled onto Treble. Before Sunset could react, Treble began to bombard Twilight with questions regarding their world, hindering Sunset to get her. The bacon haired girl just let out a giggle and let Treble do her thing and continued to chat with Hazel.

The students from Crystal Prep soon arrived as well. Neon's group consisting of his sister Mijo, Lone Wolf, Spark and Knock Out soon approached the CHS group. They did the usual greeting and soon started catching up. Hazel on the other hand, leaned unto Sunset and began to whisper.

"...By the way... How did it go with him?" Hazel whispered.

"Who?" Sunset answered in confusion.

"Neon."

The two soon stared at Neon's group and watched as Mijo got turned down by Knock Out and Spark, with Neon still denying her existence to him.

"Sucks that Mijo spent Christmas in Dubai with her mother, the Christmas Party at Gaige's house was great." Hazel said in excitement.

"Wow, really? Dubai?" Sunset smiled, "Anyway, so you were curious about Neon?"

"Well, yeah. I got in the way without thinking."

"Well, it's alright now. Even if you didn't do anything, nothing would've changed."

"I guess so."

"Well even so, I quite like that nonsensical part of you."

"Eww Sunset, I'm straight."

Once again on cue, a girl with short spiky orange hair, green eyes and tanned skin arrived in the scene. She wore a light brown winter jacket, a long red skirt and her signature black and white leggings. Along with her was a boy who had long black hair that covered half of his face, whitish gray skin and wore gothic clothing. Hazel and Sunset grew confused on why the girl approached them with a smile.

"Wait, Hazel the hell happened to your face?" The girl said.

Upon hearing her voice, they soon realized that the girl was Gaige (And her cousin, Scree Mo). Both of Sunset and Hazel's eyes shrank in surprised on how Gaige cut a portion of her hair. Hazel suddenly lunged at Gaige and began to shake her violently.

"WHAT. THE. HELL. DID. YOU. DO?!" Hazel screamed.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN?! I DID NOTHING!" Gaige retaliated in anger.

"THEN WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PIGTAILS?!"

"I DID YOUR MOM THE OTH- Ooooooh, the hair?" Gaige said as she stopped and rubbed the back of her head, "Yeah, I figured it was time for a change of style... And maybe because I ran out of hair spray."

"Wait you use hairspray on your hair?" Sunset asked.

"Yeah, how else would my pigtails would stay in place?"

"Gaige, who's the crazy girl shaking you?" Scree Mo asked in curiousness while having a bit of blush on his face.

"Oh right I haven't introduced you to them yet... Guys this is my cousin Scree Mo-"

"Oh now, who's this new girl?"

Coming from behind Gaige was a familiar British voice. Somehow the calm tone of the voice made her shiver. She turned around and saw Neon standing before her with a smirk on his face. Gaige became alarmed by this and started to become hysteric, but somehow wasn't able to blush due to the agreement they had a few weeks back.

"You know, they say that if you cut your hair short, it means you're moving on with something or you just broke up with someone," Neon smiled to Gaige, "Tell me, did Flash break your heart again?"

"Uhhhh..... No? We actually made up," Gaige chuckled in a nervous tone, "This is just a new style I've been wanting to have! That's all! No breaking up and such!"

"Well, it does look good on you," Neon replied as he leaned to Gaige's ears, "But, if you did break up... You know who to run to."

This somehow made Gaige's face turn red like a tomato. Neon let out a laugh and patted Gaige on the hair.

"Nah mate, we made a pact," Neon said, with a bit of sadness in his tone, "Besides, you suit Flash more."

With that said, Neon left without a word and leaving Gaige with a burning red face. Sunset and Hazel began to laugh at Gaige as the latter pouted at them. Soon enough, she too soon laughed with them.

She then noticed the good amount of people that she knew. As time went by, she never noticed how there were people becoming closer to her. Back in Japan, she was a loner who never socialized, and now she was in Canterlot and was now surrounded by people known as "Friends". She felt great upon seeing such a wonderful sight of people around sharing happiness with her. But, there was one person she was very grateful. The one person that changed her whole being forever.

Gaige started walking away from the group and went towards the front of the school to sit on the stairs. There, she waited and watched the stars above shine, wondering what it would look like if there were exploding lights crowding the whole horizon. She then heard some footsteps behind her, which she did not try to look at. Just on cue, she heard someone sit next to her. She then turned to her side and saw Flash smiling and watching the skies with her.

"Sup Brad." Gaige said simply.

"What are you up doing in this kind of place, Gaige?" Flash simply smiled.

"Yeah. It has," Flash replied as he stood up, "Let's get going. Sunset and the others are waiting. We're going to do the countdown with everyone."

However, Flash was stopped when Gaige got a hold of Flash's hand.

Flash smiled at her, and simply he nodded. Gaige lunged at Flash for a deep embrace. Her heart sank into her shoes as she realized at last how much she wanted him. No matter what his past was, no matter what he done. He moved her chemically more than anyone she had ever met. The truth was, she didn't need to be saved, she just needed to feel loved and know that someone out there craved her attention.

Suddenly, Flash froze and pulled out from the hug. He lifted both of his hands and positioned them where Gaige's pigtails were before. His hands began to grasp the imaginary pigtails, but to his horror; they were gone. Totally obsolete.

"GAIGE, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE HANDLEBARS?!" Flash panicked.

"HANDLEBARS?!" Gaige exclaimed back as she cracked both of her knuckles and started to close onto Flash, who awaited the coming of the demon before him.

Author's Notes:

Nope! WE GOT ONE MORE CHAPTER BEFORE EVERYTHING ENDS. IT AINT OVER UNTIL THE FAT LADY STARTS DANCING!

Also you do not want to know what happened after that.

And now for the multicultural:
¿Qué carajo acabas de mierda dices de mí, pequeña perra? Voy a tener que sabes que me gradué parte superior de mi clase en los Navy Seals, y he estado involucrado en numerosas incursiones secretas sobre Al-Qaeda, y tengo más de 300 muertes confirmadas. Estoy capacitado en la guerra gorila y yo soy el francotirador superior en todas las fuerzas armadas de Estados Unidos. No eres nada para mí, pero sólo otro objetivo. Yo limpiaré usted a la mierda con la precisión de la talla de la que nunca se ha visto antes en esta tierra, recuerda mis palabras malditas. ¿Crees que puedes salir a decir que una mierda para mí a través de Internet? Piense otra vez, hijo de puta. En estos momentos me pongo en contacto con mi red secreta de espías en los EE.UU. y su IP está siendo rastreado en este momento para prepararse mejor para la tormenta, gusano. La tormenta que arrasa con lo poco patético que llamas tu vida. Estás muerto, hijo. Puedo estar en cualquier parte, en cualquier momento, y te puedo matar en más de siete mil maneras, y eso es justo con mis propias manos. No sólo soy ampliamente entrenado en combate sin armas, pero no tengo acceso a todo el arsenal de la Marina de los Estados Unidos y lo voy a utilizar en toda su extensión para limpiar el culo miserables de la faz del continente, pedazo de mierda. Si sólo te podías saber qué castigo impío su pequeño comentario "inteligente" estaba a punto de hacer caer sobre ti, tal vez le haya poseído su maldita lengua. Pero no podía, no lo hiciste, y ahora está pagando el precio, Maldito idiota. Cagaré furia sobre ti y te ahogaré en ella. Estás muerto, chico.
