Little Big Trouble
Chapter 9: Chapter 9 - I Love You
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI Love You
Loud rave music started to play throughout the whole gym. It was none other than Vinyl Scratch who was manning the turntables along with her boyfriend, Treble Mix. Everyone else was on the center of the dance floor, including Soul who was doing dance moves from the game Destiny. Everyone was having a good time together, except for one particular girl who was sitting on one of the tables nearby.
"You having fun Wub?!" Vinyl shouted as she prepared the next song to play.
"You bet! My ass is clenched right now!" Treble smiled as he pressed the button for the smoke machine.
"I'm so glad I get to do this with you!"
"By the way, Zero and I made a bet!" Treble explained as he put down his headphones, "Whoever gets the most ladies to dance with gets to buy McDonalds later on!"
"SAY WHAT?!"
"LOVE YOU! BYE!"
Treble quickly ran out of the DJ's booth, leaving a furious Vinyl on the turntables. Treble stopped to catch his breath for a while, and started walking. As he walked, he glanced at the joyous atmosphere he was feeling. He good see the happy faces of friends and better yet, couples. He turned to the tables and saw that that they were empty, except for one table which contained one person, a person he least expected it to be.
"Gaige?"
Treble slowly approached his sister. Gaige was looking at the ground as she sat on the chair, seemingly ignoring everything that was happening. Treble knelt down and looked at her, noticing that Gaige looked like she was having problems.
"What do you want?" Gaige said deadpanned, still not looking at her brother.
"Now is it a bad thing to have a brother check in with his sister?" Treble smiled at her as he raised Gaige's head up with his hand, "Now what has the author planned for you to say?"
"It's nothing, I'm just not in the mood to dance or anything."
"Ah, period days."
"NO."
"You look good in that dress by the way," Treble smiled as he stood up, "I guess I can say you're kawaii now."
"Shut up." Gaige said as she gave out half a smile.
"Now, may I have this brotherly dance with you?" Treble said as he offered his hand, "I promise I won't eat you."
Gaige looked at her brother's hand for a while and contemplated on certain thoughts. First off, she still didn't know what was making her sad, and second, if she had the mood to dance. It went on for a while until Treble slowly placed his hand down and frowned. He began to get worried at his sister.
"Well, I'm here to listen to you whenever you feel like talking," Treble sighed as he started to walk away, "I'm here for you sis."
Suddenly, Treble's hand was grabbed by Gaige. He turned to see Gaige wiping her eyes and looking at him with her brows arched.
"Come on, let's dance." Gaige said as she pulled Treble to the dance floor.
The two siblings found themselves on the center of the dance floor as slow romantic music played. Treble looked at the sky with a smile and a thumbs up, making Gaige roll her eyes and gave out a small smile. Her slight joy soon disappeared when she noticed Flash dancing with another girl in the distance, and not Twilight who still wasn't present in which made Flash go in alone for a while.
Treble quickly noticed Gaige's saddened expression.
"There you go again," A concerned Treble said as he danced with Gaige, "You can tell me anything, I promise I won't go around the school shouting it."
"...Shut up." Gaige whispered with a sad tone as she continued to look at Flash.
Treble soon noticed that Gaige was looking at something. He turned to see who she was looking at and saw who it was. Treble smiled as he positioned his sunglasses and looked at Gaige once more.
"Rise, rise up through this. And as you stand above it. Smile and be breathless," Treble recited a haiku with a stereotypical asian voice, "Haiku's are weird."
"..What?" Gaige raised a brow.
"The author just gave me an idea, so how about I return you back to your seat and let me do some magic for you?"
"Sure, I was getting annoyed at your face." Gaige chuckled.
"Now that's just rude." Treble smiled as he took Gaige back to her seat.
As Gaige sat and returned to her sad state once more, Treble turned around and looked at the dance floor. He positioned his collar to place as this convenient song started to play in the story. Everything started to go slow motion as Treble walked like greatest Gary Stu on the center of the dance floor.
Meanwhile back at his friends table, Warhawk was the first one to notice him and performed a facepalm. He looked at him annoyance and said, "What is this stupid idiot doing?"
"Beats me, and why is he walking so slow?" Straight Edge added.
"More importantly, why is there a song playing while there's another song getting played by Vinyl?" Soul said.
"....I'm starting to think our world is completely messed up." Clyde sighed.
"Okay I'm just gonna go dance with someone now." Night said as he stood up.
"Don't you mean dance with Fluttershy for the thousand time?" Rivet raised a brow with a smile as the others nodded.
"Very funny, have we ever done anything but dance with our girlfriends since we got here?" Night asked.
The others then raised a finger and was about to speak, but soon slowly put their fingers down and stayed silence. Night pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at his friends deadpanned. He then shrugged and departed from the group.
Treble was now near Flash, who was dancing with a different girl again. Treble danced casually as he began to eavesdrop on Flash and the girl. For the past few minutes, he only heard nonsense regarding how Flash was attractive from the perspective of the girl. Treble began to lose patience and decided to budge in the conversation. Treble started to dab and started hitting the whip as the two looked at him with their brows raised.
"Great party am I right?!" Treble said as he did the nae nae.
"Uh, can I help you Treble?" Flash asked.
"I was gonna ask you the same thing."
"...That doesn't even make any sense at all."
"My lady, may I steal your man from here?" Treble said with an english accent.
The girl nodded as she was already satisfied and left the two. Treble continued to dance as Flash stood infront of him.
"Okay, I'm here to ask you a few questions regarding my sister and just to make this chapter have more words than usual." Treble explained.
"Gaige? What about her?" Flash asked.
"Yeah, everybody has a secret, she has one too, most of her friends know," Treble recited a cryptic poem, "But what about you?"
Flash began to grew confused at what Treble just said. Treble began to throw out spooky gestures at Flash as he slowly backed away from him. He soon disappeared within the crowd, leaving Flash to contemplate on what he just said. He was still oblivious to the fact that Gaige might have feelings for him. He then noticed Gaige on one of the tables alone.
As he was about to go to Gaige to ask her to dance, the door of the gym suddenly opened. Flash turned to where it was and saw a certain person. His eyes went wide open as he was looking at the person he was waiting for. It was a girl with violet hair with pink streaks, purple skin and was wearing a sapphire blue dress. Flash's heart began to go rapid as he slowly walked to the girl. The girl soon noticed him and gave out a smile, but quickly turned into a frown. Flash soon met with the girl as he looked at her in amazement, checking every part that had "beauty" written on it.
"Hey Twilight," Flash said with a smile, "You look amazing."
"Hey Flash," The girl known as Twilight replied, "You too I guess?"
The two took a moment to look at each other. Their eyes met as Flash began to get nervous. He then extended his hand for a dance, in which Twilight accepted as they walked to the center of the dance floor. The two began to dance slowly as the song changed. Flash was happy to see Twilight again, but would be even more happier if he proposed right now since it was the perfect time to do so.
"I need to tell you something." The two said in unison, which caught them in surprise.
"You first." Flash said.
"Are you sure you can take this Flash?" Twilight said in concern.
Meanwhile, Gaige was back at her table scrolling through Twitter with her phone. She started to laugh after reading a tweet from Knock Out's twitter. She tried her best to ignore everything around her, but failed to do so after being in a romantic atmosphere for too long. Walking by her was Night who was looking for someone to dance with. He quickly noticed Gaige and gave out a smile.
"Hey Gaige." Night greeted.
"Hey Daylight Escape!" Gaige said as she faked a smile, "Wonderful evening right mate?!"
"It's actually Night Chase and yes, it does feel wonderful-"
"What do you want?" Gaige said deadpanned.
"Er, I just wanna dance that's all," Night said as he offered his hand, "How many guys have asked you out for a dance?"
"Around seven I think, there was this weird guy who kept on saying his name was Atlas and tried to ask me out, but I quickly turned him down since HOLY CRAP HE'S GOING WAY TOO FAST."
"Heh, good ol' Atlas being himself again," Night laughed, "So, you wanna dance or not?"
"Eh, just one more dance won't hurt." Gaige said as she stood up and grabbed his hand and headed to the dance floor.
The two slowly danced (You might get the wrong idea, but Night is with Fluttershy, just to let you know) and enjoyed each others companies. Night quickly noticed Gaige's sad expression as she was looking somewhere else. He turned to the direction for a second and saw Flash with Twilight dancing together. Night understood the situation and started to speak up, as it was getting awkward.
"So, Flash?" Night said.
"What about that baka?" Gaige said with a sad tone.
"Well, you're so close to Flash," Night explained, "The moment me and Shy asked you to help us with the chicken coop, I've been wondering what kind of person you were."
"You know, I'm just every other girl you know." Gaige replied.
"I don't think so, you seem unique, you got Flash to be friends with you," Night chuckled, "Exactly what did you do to make that truant change his personality?"
"Beats me, I have no idea what he's thinking since I can't properly read him," Gaige said with a blush, "I'm guessing he just wanted a friend.... And here I am feeling melancholy."
"...I think I figured out why you're down.. Is it because you have a crush on Flash?"
Gaige's face quickly turned red after hearing what Night just said. She then shook her head and said, "Gaki! I DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON FLASH!"
"Retaliating always means yes Gaige," Night laughed, "Plus it's normal for a person to fall inlove. I don't really have any experience about romance and stuff like that but look at me, I'm in a steady relationship with Shy."
Gaige sighed as she looked at Night with a sad expression. Her heart felt heavier than usual and her eyes began to get teary. She raised her head and saw something that she should have avoided; Flash smiling at Twilight.
"So that's Twilight huh?" Gaige said with a saddened tone.
"The one and only gal who saved the whole school on two occasions." Night explained.
"Huh, no wonder Flash went head over heels for her."
Gaige watched Flash and Twilight dance. She observed them both from their distance and noticed how happy Flash was. His smile went on for a few minutes, until his face drastically changed into shock. Gaige began to grew curious as she gazed at them. The expression of shock slowly turned to sadness as Twilight slowly let go of Flash.
"...I'm sorry Flash, but our relationship can't happen," Twilight said with a saddened tone, "I can see how a pony such as myself coexist with a human."
Flash remained silent as Twilight looked at him in concern. She then placed her hand on his shoulder, but nothing changed. Flash waited for her, and he wanted her to be his love. The feeling of sadness surrounded Flash as his mind went blank.
"Don't be sad please," Twilight pleaded, "We can still be friends."
"...Friends..." Flash whispered.
"I'm sorry Flash," Twilight said as she slowly backed away, "I need to go. I'm so sorry."
With that said, Twilight departed from the gym and went back to her home world. Flash however, stood on the middle of the dance floor and looked down on the ground. As time went by, Flash went back to his seat and sat there motionless.
Gaige on the other hand, completely saw the scene unfold. Her sad state turned to concern and sympathy. She was no longer anxious at herself, but she was now anxious to Flash's state. For the past few minutes, she stared at Flash. Judging from their facial expressions earlier, she could tell that Twilight turned down Flash.
*THUMP THUMP THUMP*
"There it is again." Gaige said to herself.
"What now?" Night asked.
"Nothing, can you take me back to my sit?"
"Sure."
Night took Gaige back to her seat and left. Gaige began to think of what she should do as she completely stared at Flash in the distance. A bit of sadness returned to her, in which she questioned once more.
"Man I hate you author," Gaige thought, "I'm supposed to be a woman of science and ass kickery, not some romance puppet!"
Unfortunately for Gaige, she is a romance puppet. Principal Celestia soon announced that the dance will be over after the next song; The song for couples. After a while, the couples began to flood the dance floor as a smooth romantic song played. Flash however, was still at his chair looking down, while Gaige was on the other side of the gym staring at him in concern. The dance soon ended and everyone began to leave.
After a few minutes, the gym was now empty. Flash sat on the table brokenhearted. He sat there motionless as Scrubby the janitor started to clean up. The old janitor noticed the boy and sat next to him. Scrubby patted his back, which earned his attention.
"Scrubby see's you're not your self right now," Scrubby said as he placed his mop down, "What's wrong?"
Flash remained silent while bits of tears came down from his eyes.
"I see," Scrubby sighed, "Scrubby's been there, Scrubby doesn't wanna see you like this."
"...What else can I do? I'm done," Flash said in a low tone, "She can't be with me since she's a princess, and she has her duties."
"Scrubby knows, but Scrubby thinks you're looking at the wrong perspective," Scrubby said as he grabbed the top of Flash's head and pointed it up to his face, "Scrubby remembers what happened at the shelter. Scrubby remembers the girl you were with."
"You mean Gaige, she's a good friend and all."
"Are you sure she's just your friend?"
Scrubby then pointed at the distance. Flash looked up to see what he was pointing at, and to his surprise, Scrubby was pointing at Gaige. She was walking up to Flash as she played with her scarf and wearing a worried expression. Flash's sorrow began to disappear as Gaige got nearer and nearer. He felt like he was looking at an angel coming to save him from his problems. Scrubby then smiled, patted Flash once more and departed, leaving the two alone.
Gaige stood infront of Flash as she played with her pigtail. Flash's eyes widened as he soon realized what he was doing wrong.
"Hey Flash." Gaige said as she gave out half a smile.
"Hey Gaige." Flash greeted back.
Meanwhile at the DJ's booth, Treble emerged under the turntable while putting back his clothes in place. He was then followed by Vinyl, who smiled in excitement as she looked at her boyfriend.
"Man who knew making out after a dance was a great idea!" Treble laughed.
"Shhh! Someone might see us!" Vinyl whispered.
"Oh please, it's just Scrubby and the two of us."
"....Unless you don't count your sister and Brad in."
Treble turned and saw Gaige with Flash. He recalled what he and his sister talked about earlier and gave out a smile. An idea sparked in his mind and cracked his knuckles. He proceeded to turn on the turntables and played this song.
"Time to help develop this story mate!" Treble laughed.
The song soon played throughout the empty gym, which surprised Gaige and Flash. The two then laughed it off as Scrubby watched from the distance with a smile. Gaige then extended her hand to Flash with a smile on her face.
"How about it Brad? Don't you wanna dance with your best friend?"
*THUMP*
Flash's unhappy state disappeared in an instant as he accepted Gaige's offer. He quickly stood up in joy and smiled at Gaige, unknown to her that the boy was feeling rather something else. The two then made their way to the dance floor with high spirits. The two friends danced to the music as Treble, Vinyl and Scrubby watched them with smiles on their faces.
Gaige felt joy upon seeing Flash be happy. Everything that has bothered her vanished as soon as she saw Flash smile. She didn't even care anymore if she was blushing or not. At the moment, she only cared about one thing, and that thing was having a happy moment with Flash.
After dancing alone in the gym, the two decided to go to McDonalds to eat. The cold nightly breeze shrouded them as they walked on the dark streets of Canterlot. They completely ignored the cold atmosphere due to the fact they were enjoying each others companies. On their way, Flash explained to Gaige on what happened. Instead of feeling bad about, Flash laughed it off instead.
"...And that's why Twilight dumped me on the spot!" Flash laughed, "Not my finest moment."
"HA! Brad got rejected! Brad got rejected!" Gaige mocked.
"Whatever! Atleast I was surrounded by girls!"
"OH PLEASE! I had a few guys ask me for a dance!" Gaige retaliated as she remembered Atlas, which made her cringe.
Flash stopped on his tracks and looked at Gaige with a smile. His heart began to beat hurriedly as he looked at the cute little asian girl with pigtails. He was lucky to have her as a friend over the past few months, and he was thankful for it. Gaige raised a brow and smirked at him.
"What is it Brad?" Gaige said.
"Thank you, for everything." Flash smiled.
Gaige blushed violently as she tried to look away and scratch her head. She began to chuckle, pace around like an idiot and faced Flash, who was laughing at her.
"I'm lucky to have a friend like you," Flash added, "I guess you just became my hero huh?"
"Well, I couldn't leave you hanging now would I?" Gaige said with a warm smile, "Shiawasede iru."
Unknown to her she gave out an adorable smile which made Flash fall for her even more. His heart began to get even more rapid as he slowly approached Gaige, who's heart also began to beat fast.
"Gaige, my heart is beating extremely fast."
"Eh?" Gaige said as her eye went wide open.
"....I think I like you."
"Huh?!"
Gaige beginning to get surprised and nervous. She began to shiver in excitement or probably because she was nervous as Flash got nearer and nearer to her.
"Y-You mean in a friend kind of way, right?" Gaige said nervously.
"No! In a sexual way!"
"WHAT?!"
The two stared eye to eye for a long time. Gaige began to blush once more as Flash's face was inches away from hers. Unknown to her, Flash fell deeply inlove with her the moment she came to his aid during the dance when he was about to lose hope.
*THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP*
Flash couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't about Twilight or any other girl anymore. The girl infront of her was the one that he was looking for, and this girl he fell inlove with on this lovely night. Suddenly, he grabbed Gaige's dress, pulled her in, and finally, their lips met.
(NOTE: To read a manga, start from the right to left)
Gaige's mouth went wide open as her jaw began to shiver. Her heart began to beat as fast as a race car while her face went full on red. She began to sweat like a fountain as Flash looked at her in joy. The moonlight soon shined on them as Gaige was in shock.
"F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-FLA-"
"Gaige, let me say it again, I-LIKE-YOU GAIGE," Flash grinned, "No, I LOVE YOU. I LOVE GAIGE SHUUYA MIX."
Gaige began to tremble even more. What Flash just did just made her even more confused with her emotions. It felt like she was about to break from all the processing inside her brain. No words could come out of her mouth due to the fact she was extremely confused and her heart was raising like it was the fourth of July. She began to calm down a bit and regained her thought.
"W-Wait a moment!" Gaige exclaimed as she backed away from Flash, "I think it's because you just got dumped... You're misunderstanding your own feelings!"
"Huh," Flash said as he paced around, "So if I get to know you better, you'll believe me?"
"I-I guess?!"
"Fine," Flash said with a bit of disappointment, "But my feelings won't change."
From there, Gaige still went to McDonalds with Flash to eat and forget everything that just happened.
And she ordered three Big Macs and large fries.
And Zero and Treble was there to witness it, who were oblivious to what happened.
And Flash was inlove once more.
