A month had passed after that faithful encounter with Flash, Gaige still couldn't figure out what she felt during that time. It was her very first time having that strange sensation and until now she is still questioning it. Unfortunately for her, not only she did help a friend out, but she also earned numerous bugging from this friend.

For a month, Flash continued to be with Gaige. From class, lunch and going home, he would follow the poor girl everywhere. Even the people around them started to think they were dating, which bugged Gaige even more. Sadly, Gaige had no choice as Flash didn't have any other friends. Not only that, Flash became extremely paranoid whenever he meets another boy, and ends up either arguing him or a plain old fist fight (He once thought Soul was mocking him when he was talking about Sunset, and ended up punching him the shoulder, which led to detention, which led to Gaige clearing things out). Everyone in the school started to think Flash is even more violent than before, which made him even more depressive.

It was now lunch and as usual, Gaige and Flash were at their table silently eating. The two noticed that some people inside the cafeteria was looking at them (especially the mane six, seven, I don't know) but decided to ignore them.

"Gaige I know a sweet ass place where they serve good-"

"Not interested Flash." Gaige interrupted Flash.

"Oh come on! You never take me to the stores I wanna try!" Flash pouted.

Gaige proceeded to look at Flash in disgust and said, "I'm sorry, am I your girlfriend?"

"....Maybe-"

"Baka. NO."

The two began to argue and everyone else in around them began to notice. On the other side, the girls noticed the two and began to worry about them.

"They're at it again." Rarity sighed.

"It's a common occurance now." Rainbow Dash added as she played around with a ball.

"Indeed." Pinkie added.

"Those two need a hobby."

For the whole day, the two argued about the littlest things. People began to question how they still remain as friends, even if they constantly fight. It was now the end of the day and Gaige was making her way out of the school. She exhaled in relief and stretched out her arms in freedom. She was glad that tomorrow was the weekend and she can relax without Flash bothering her.... Or so she thought.

Behind her was Flash unusually looking happy. He was happily humming one of Justin Biebers song as he went to the side of Gaige. The girl raised a brow and looked at Flash.

"Okay what is it Flash?" Gaige asked.

"Remember when I told you about the Fall Formal?" Flash asked.

"What about it?"

"Well, I just talked to Sunset earlier," Flash smiled, "And guess who's coming?"

"Your mom?"

"Twilight!"

Twilight Sparkle has been a long crush for Flash and yet he still doesn't have the guts to ask her out, even if she's a pony from another dimension. Flash would regularly talk about Twilight if she is brought up in the subject, much to Gaige's annoyance.

But this time, upon hearing the name, Gaige felt unease and weak. She felt like something heavy was on her heart. Until now, Gaige still couldn't understand what's going on with her. The rapid heartbeats and the comfort she feels when she's with Flash. As almost as if she had a crush on him, which was the first thing that came to her mind and proceeded to shook it off.

"So? What's your point?" Gaige said as she raised a brow, crossed her arms and had corner of her mouth lifted.

Flash suddenly placed his hands on Gaige's shoulders, which surprised her obviously, and said, "This maybe my last chance to ask her out.. And I would appreciate it if you help me ask her out."

Gaige winced and said, "What's in it for me?"

"I'll do anything you'll ask me to do. No matter what."

"No matter what eh?" Gaige smirked as she rubbed her chin.

The first that popped inside Gaige's mind was the image of her choking Flash. She began to laugh deviously as Flash just looked at her in confusion. He then shrugged it off as the two started walking.

Somewhere near the statue, Fluttershy and Night were standing by discussing about making a chicken coop for the animal shelter. Night was working on his bike while he listened to Fluttershy.

"You can count on me Shy. I'll help make that chicken coop." Night said.

"Thanks Night, you're the best!" Fluttershy smiled, earning a blush from Night.

"Well that's good news for you," Night said as he stood up and faced Fluttershy, "Bad news is, everyones busy, so it's just gonna be the two of us building that thing."

"I don't mind really," Fluttershy said, "Let's just have fun building it okay?"

"Sure, but it's gonna be hard wo-"

"BAKA! Why would I wanna let you borrow my Death Trap?!"

Passing by the two were a furious Gaige and an annoyed Flash. Night raised a brow as the two stopped infront of them.

"I just wanna have him lift up my car so I can work on it that's all!" Flash explained.

"FYI! DEATH TRAP IS NOT A TOOL!" Gaige replied in annoyance.

"Guys guys, can we all chill for a bit?" Night said as he approached the two, "What are you guys up to this weekend?"

The two stopped arguing and looked at Night at the same time.

"A whole day of playing CS:GO!" Gaige answered.

"A whole day of bugging Gaige to hang out!" Flash answered as well.

The two glared at each other as Night just wore half a smile. Fluttershy walked up to them and said, "Can you um, lend us a hand tomorrow?"

"Huh?" Gaige raised a brow.

"You see, me and Shy are going to build a chicken coop for the animal shelter," Night explained to the two, "Everyone else is busy so, we would appreciate it if you helped out."

"Hear that Gaigie?" Flash said as he placed his hand around Gaige's shoulder.

"Baka, off," Gaige said as she flicked off Flash's hand, "Wait, how are you not afraid of Brad?"

"Hey!"

"Err, I'm not that kind of person that judges people from what I have heard," Night replied, "Besides, he seems like a cool guy."

"Hell yeah someone understands! Fistbump!"

Flash lifted up his fist, which led to Night fistbumping it. The two smiled as an annoyed Gaige just looked at them. Fluttershy simply laughed as she proceeded to explain what they'll do tomorrow morning.

Saturday rolled in as they decided to meet up at the animal shelter. Flash, Fluttershy and Night were already there as they waited for Gaige. It has been half an hour and Gaige was still nowhere to be found.

"Now where could she be?" Night said as he played around with a chew toy.

"I really hope she doesn't get lost on the way here." A worried Fluttershy said.

"Don't worry, she's a nerd, geek, whatever," Flash added, "She should have a GPS, so everything's gonna be-"

Suddenly, an exhausted Gaige stormed on their place. She began to pant heavily as the three just looked at her in shock.

"I am so sorry!" Gaige apologized as she continued to pant, "My brother broke my alarm clock!"

After a while, they went ahead to the hardware store near Hoofbucks. They were just there to pick supplies to make the chicken coop, but everything escalated when Flash began to argue with Fluttershy about an already made chicken coop that looked like a person's house. Night and Gaige watched on as Fluttershy tried to convince Flash they couldn't buy the house.

"Why don't we buy this one instead? It look's freaking sick!" Flash said as he held a very expensive coop.

"Umm... We don't have enough money Flash." Fluttershy tried to calm down Flash.

"Borrow money! Take out a mortgage!"

"Chicken's can't find work!"

Gaige pinched the bridge of her nose as she felt a tap on her back. She turned to see Night gesturing that they should go on. Gaige shrugged and followed Night within the store. They went to get nails and chicken wire first. As they were checking out the suitable materials, Night coughed, prompting to start a conversation.

"So Gaige, when did you start dating?" Night asked.

"WHOA WHOA WHOA! Who the hell said we were dating?!" Gaige exclaimed as she blushed and did a pushing gesture.

"Then what was that hugging that one time?"

"EH?!"

Gaige soon realized that Night meant the time where Gaige defended Flash from Ringo and Brawly. Her pupils shrank as she started to sweat and blush like a tomato. Night chuckled as he took a box of nails and placed it on their basket.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Night smiled, "But seriously though, what was that hugging?"

"OH that? Well... Hugging.. Err, I figured Flash needed some comfort you know?!" Gaige said nervously, "And I was gonna bear hug him while I was at it! That's all!"

"Heh, sure Gaige, suuuuuuureeee."

"Baka!" Gaige blushed as she walked away.

Night simply shrugged and continued to look for materials as Gaige disappeared from his sight.

The pigtailed girl furiously marched from aisle to aisle and reached the paint aisle. Gaige was checking out the spray paints, particularly the color yellow. As she was sliding her hand through the paint cans, she did not notice the hand that was on one of the paint cans, which led her to bumping into it.

"Excuse me." Gaige said.

She turned to see who it was and quickly recognized the person. She was soon staring at the sunglasses of Ringo, who was with Brawly. The two glared at her as Gaige began to sweat.

"They're the ones from that time!" Gaige thought to herself as she shivered in fear.

"You again?" Ringo smirked, "Good timing, we have something to talk to you about."

Gaige slowly backed away as the two followed her. Coming around the corner was Night, who was holding a basket filled with supplies.

"Hey Gaige, what's the measurement for-"

Night stopped talking and suddenly backed away as he saw Gaige with the two other guys. Ringo and Brawly soon noticed Night and glared at him as well.

"Did I bother you guys? Hehehe..." Night said nervously.

"Who's this twerp?" Ringo said.

"Eh?" Night said getting annoyed at the term, "What do you jerks think you're doing?!"

Night proceeded to run towards the two bullies and threw the basket. Ringo ducked down just in time and Brawly was hit in the face with a basket. Night grabbed Gaige's arm and dashed away from the two.

"That was scary." Night sighed in relief.

"I thought you were gonna fight them!" Gaige exclaimed.

"That's crazy talk! I've never been in a fight in my whole entire life!" Night explained, "Let's just get out of this place."

As they were getting near the exit, the two were blocked when Ringo and Brawly blocked their path to the exit. Brawly began to crack his knuckles as Night and Gaige slowly backed away. Brawly lifted his hand up and was ready to strike Night. The bully launched his hand towards Night, only to be stopped by a strong force coming from behind him. Brawly looked behind to see it was Flash with an angered look.

"F-Flash?!" Brawly shivered in fear.

Flash lifted Brawly by the collar with one hand and threw him to Ringo, knocking them over on a pile of dog food. Night and Gaige found themselves amazed and dumbfounded by the strength of the boy. Wasting no time, Gaige took Flash's hand, made their way out of the store and disappeared in sight.

"Wow.. That hurt dude." Ringo said in pain.

"I hate you." Brawly replied.

On a nearby corner, a certain boy watched the whole scene unfold as he slowly smiled. He wore a gray jacket, a pink shirt, black pants and his signature black sunglasses. He slowly sipped the hoofbucks drink that he was holding and walked to the two guys. He picked up one of the cans of dog food and threw it up and down.

"Wow mate, you got destroyed by that bugger?" Neon laughed.

"Uh Shy? Could you buy us the materials needed? We ran into trouble and those guys are probably still there. I'll come help you carry stuff once you get em. Alright. Love ya." Night said to his phone as he put it away.

The three were nearby two bending machines as they tried to rest up from the running. Gaige was completely exhausted and was sitting on the ground and lying on one of the bending machines. Night got on his feet and got on his bike.

"I'm gonna go help Shy carry things," Night as he placed his foot on the pedal, "Flash, you take care of Gaige."

"Aye!" Flash smiled.

Night soon departed, leaving Gaige and Flash alone. There was an awkward silence between the two, not because they were tired and all, but for certain reasons. Flash walked up to the machine and brought two cans of soda. He then walked up to Gaige and knelt down to her.

"You alright?" Flash said as he handed the soda to Gaige.

"T-thanks," Gaige said as she took the soda, "You continue to surprise me dude. Throwing someone with one hand and what not.."

The long silence continued as the two drank their refreshing drinks. This went on for a while until Gaige began to feel uncomfortable of the sounds of nothingness. She began to contemplate on what she should say to the guy next to her. Her heart began to thump once more as she was getting more eager to talk. As she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Flash.

"You're acting weird today Gaige." Flash said.

"Huh?"

"Normally, you would refuse to hang out in the weekends," Flash explained, "It's weird."

Gaige knew that Flash was right about what he said. She began to think that he only notices weird things about her.

"It's nothing, really." Gaige excused.

Suddenly, Flash's face got near Gaige's, as if he was about to kiss her. She blushed as she looked at the worried expression of Flash that was inches away from hers. He then said, "Don't lie to me."

"I-I-I'm not lying." Gaige replied as she looked away.

"Are you sure?" Flash said as he got near Gaige once more, who was hiding her flustered face from the boy infront of her. Flash slowly backed away and said, "If you say so."

The boy then walked in the center to look at the distance. Gaige slowly turned to him and stared at the blue haired boy. Her heart began to thump loudly as she stared at his face.

"Was he worried about me?" She thought to herself.

On the wide parking lot of the animal shelter, the four found themselves dumbfounded as they stared at the pieces of plywood and saw on the ground. For the past hour, they found it hard to cut a single wood. Everyone was discouraged and simply gave up cutting the wood in half. The exhausted teenagers sat down and simply just waited for something to happen.

"This is annoying." Flash groaned.

"I told you guys we should have let the store saw it for us." Gaige replied as she wiped the sweat coming from her head.

"Even with the four of us, this is impossible to do." Night added.

"But this one has the easiest instruction to follow.." Said an exhausted Fluttershy.

"Told ya we should have bought the cool one." Flash said.

Passing by them was Scrubby, Canterlot High's janitor. He was holding a bucket of dog food and noticed the four kids. He simply nodded and approached the four.

"What's this? Is Scrubby looking at a chicken coop or a bed?" Scrubby joked.

"What are you doing here Scrubby?" Flash asked.

"Oh, he works part time here," Fluttershy explained, "I didn't know he was an animal person."

"Scrubby thinks it's not yet time to give up," Scrubby said as he placed the bucket down, "It may be grueling work, but Scrubby has a chainsaw for you to use."

"WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION THAT SOONER?!" Gaige exclaimed as her eye twitched.

"I'll go grab it." Flash said as he followed Scrubby to his truck.

"I'm gonna get us some snacks as well." Fluttershy said as she went inside to get food.

Night and Gaige was once again alone as Gaige sat on a block. She removed her jacket and placed it beside her, revealing a slender physique. She took out her handkerchief and wiped away the sweat around her arm and head. She sighed as she looked at the materials scattered around the lot.

"Man, are we going to finish this by today?" Gaige said as she closed her eyes.

"Found you."

Suddenly, a familiar British voice came from behind Gaige. She jumped up and stumbled to her buttocks. She looked up to see it was none other than Neon Lights, the boy she met in Hoofbucks. Along with him was Ringo and Brawly, who had big smiles on their faces.

"Don't worry mate, I ain't gonna eat ya," Neon slyly smiled, "These guys just want to talk."

With that said, Gaige and Night listened to what the two bullies said. In fact, they were not bullies at all. Gaige soon realized that they didn't actually know that they were doing something bad to Flash and kept on doing so. After a few explanations, it all made sense for Gaige and what she should do.

"And that's everything." Ringo finished.

"We kinda feel bad, but he's been ignoring us." Brawly added.

"Then why don't you just say sorry to him then?" Night suggested, "Right Gaige?"

"You guys hurt him pretty bad before and now you want to say sorry to feel better? That's pretty selfish," Gaige said in a serious tone, "But if you guys really want to say sorry to Flash, you are welcome to do so. Just don't bother us while we're working."

"....This girl is cold." Brawly said in a low tone.

"Can't you see that we're asking you to help us out?" Ringo begged.

"Hold on lads, I see how it is," Neon said as he slowly approached Gaige, "You're inlove with Flash right? You love birds."

Gaige flinched as her pupils shrank. She started to glow red as sweat came down from her head. Night began to chuckle as he watched Gaige blush her face out.

"Wow, for real?" Ringo smiled.

"I-I'm not!" Gaige said nervously.

"Oh really?" Night said with a smile.

"I TOLD YOU I DON'T!" Gaige exclaimed as Flash came behind her.

"HEY! YOU FREAKS AGAIN?!" Flash said in anger as he dropped the chainsaw.

"FLASH?!" Gaige, Ringo and Brawly exclaimed.

Neon smiled upon seeing Flash. Neon simply stared at Flash, who raised a brow. A strong sense of deja vu got into him as he slowly walked by the side of Gaige and said, "Now, now, Flash calm down mate, your friends are only here to talk."

"I'm outta here! Ringo said as he tried to find somewhere to exit.

"Right?" Neon said as he placed his hand around Gaige's shoulder, which made her blush, "Gaige?"

"Wait you know each other?!" Gaige said in shock.

*PUNCH*

Flash punched Neon on the shoulder, which made him back away from Gaige. Neon looked at Flash in annoyance as Flash said, "We're childhood friends."

"EEEEH?!" A surprised Gaige exclaimed as Night just looked at the group.

"Wanker! That hurt! Listen to me!" Neon exclaimed.

"Get that dirty look off your face Neon." Flash replied.

"Just like old times huh mate? Always resorting to violence, like a stupid brat." Neon retaliated.

Gaige walked away from the two and went beside Night. He then turned to Gaige and saw she had a bored expression.

"So uh, why are they here?" Night asked.

"Who knows..." Gaige said as a slight blush appeared on her face.

Gaige began to think of what she should do. It wasn't easy to forgive something that has wounded a person, but Ringo and Brawly sounded sincere when they explained everything to her. Yet, she even thinks that they're good people. Her mind was going through alot of processing, like Neon knowing Flash.

She then noticed the scattered materials on the ground and thought of an idea. She smirked and looked at the boys.

"Hey, Flash."

Just in time, Gaige managed to stop Flash and Neon from killing each other as the two looked at her.

"Ringo and Brawly said that they wanted to make up with you," Gaige explained as she knelt and pointed at the plywood, "And to express their kindness, they decided to help us with the chicken coop!"

"What?! That's bullsh*t!" Ringo exclaimed, "Why would we waste our time on that?!"

"Baka, if you want to make peace, you need to show that you mean it."

"....Damn.. She's right Ringo." Brawly said in a defeated tone.

Flash suddenly dazed from what he was doing and approached Ringo and Brawly. The two began to get terrified as they looked at the serious expression of Flash. His expression suddenly changed to a big smile as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Make peace? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Flash bashfully said, "That's great guys!"

Everyone else just looked at Flash with a blank expression as he was still oblivious to what they were expecting of him.

"He's so easy.." Night to himself.

"Hey, you're actually attracted to him?" Neon whispered to Gaige, "You're inlove with this?"

Gaige remained silent and just simply blushed once more. After some brief apologies and amends, the group started to work on the chicken coop. After a while, Fluttershy came back with a tray of juice and cookies. She happily skipped to the group, oblivious to the fact that there were more people now.

"I'm back! I got cookies!" Fluttershy happily said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, I had to make the juice- Umm, Night who are these people?"

After a few hours, they finally finished the chicken coop with the help of Ringo and Brawly (Neon just stood around watching). It was now near sunset and everyone was tired. Night and Fluttershy were grateful that the others helped. Gaige was also thankful to what Ringo and Brawly did today, which made her feel happy to see Flash make amends with his friends.

Ringo, Night, and Brawly carried the chicken coop to the backyard while Fluttershy went back inside, leaving Flash, Neon and Gaige alone. Neon smiled as he placed his hand on Gaige's shoulder once more.

"Ain't it great mate?" Neon said, "Cheers!"

"B-But you didn't do any work at all." Gaige replied with a slight blush.

"Why would I?"

*PUNCH*

Flash once again punched Neon on the shoulder, only this time he landed it harder. Neon backed away in pain as his eye twitched upon seeing Flash.

"Wanker, that hurt!" Neon shouted.

"I told you not to touch her!"

"Cut it out!"

"You ticked me off."

Gaige simply sighed and smiled as she watched the two argue once more. Her heart felt warm as the sun settled in the distance.

The group then said their farewells and went home. Flash on the other hand, decided to walk Gaige home. It was now early in the evening as the two walked the cold night. Walking pass every streetlight they walked, Gaige's heart began to feel like it was about to explode again. The unexplained rapid heartbeats that Gaige felt was attacking her once more.

"Y-You know, your friends are real nice once you get to know them better." Gaige said, trying to start a conversation.

"Yeah they really are." Flash smiled.

The two soon reached Gaige's street and her house was now a few blocks away. Gaige sighed and stretched as she looked at Flash.

"This is far enough Flash, I can walk by myself now." Gaige said as she looked away from Flash, trying to hide the small blush on her face.

"Don't be shy." Flash insisted.

"Huh?"

"I want to stay with you a bit longer." Flash said with a warm smile.

*THUMP!*

Gaige's heart began to accelerate upon hearing those words. Not only did those words affect her, but his smile as well. Gaige began to became red as a tomato and looked away from him once more.

"What the hell is going on with me?!" She thought to herself, "What should I do?"

Gaige let out a defeated sigh and went ahead with it. The two walked side by side as they headed for Gaige's house. The pigtailed girl couldn't bring herself to look at Flash without getting embarrassed. The silence made it even worse but luckily for her, Flash started to talk.

"Did you know? Everything that happens on earth, good or bad, are all decided by God," Flash explained, "But at the end of the line, everything stays the same."

"Are you talking about the 'one plus one equals zero' principle?" Gaige replied.

"Err.. something like that. But I don't really believe any of that," Flash chuckled, "It's just nonsense."

Gaige suddenly stopped as she looked at Flash walking infront of her. Flash soon stopped as well and faced Gaige.

"But, I've been thinking lately; If meeting you was my lucky moment, it balances out everything that's happened." Flash said as he warmly smiled at Gaige.

Flash paused for a moment to have a great look at Gaige. He no longer felt depressed after having this girl by his side. Everything from the moment Gaige was there for him, everything was positive for him.

"Only good things have happened since I met you Gaige."

*THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP*

Gaige went on full tomato and suddenly started to run away from Flash as fast as a cat. Flash raised a brow as he watched Gaige dash away from him. He simply smiled as he waved goodbye to Gaige, even if she wasn't looking back and she looked like she was about to explode. Flash began to depart as the moon shined above him, feeling happier than ever.
