I am currently watching another of Sunset's game streams. Ever since she revealed she had a crush, there have been nosey people trying to figure it out, but thankfully she ignored them. The last thing I want, or need is everyone figuring it out it was me and I get a popularity boost from being the crush of one of the most popular girls at school. Speaking of which, it's strange that I have befriended the Rainbooms and gotten most of them to fall for me. God, if everyone else at school finds out about this... Yeah, I don't even want to think about it. I was taken out of my thoughts when Sunset read out another paid contribution, from a certain rainbow haired girl.

"Hey Sunny. Did you have a good dream where you married your crush? Also, are you going to keep on calling him your future husband? Have you decided on what to call your kids yet?" Sunset read out, sounding more annoyed, when she got to the last question, before she groaned into her hands for a few seconds, "Seriously, Rainbow! You had to pull this live on stream, in front of everyone. No, that was an honest mistake and it's no one's business, so don't bring it up again!"

Sunset took a relaxing deep breath and managed to continue playing. Geez, Rainbow seemed to have no standards for how she will tease anyone. I think I will enjoy teasing her more in the future.

I was walking through the hallway at school and was being a little cautious of Pinkie, giving me some affection. Not that I think it's a bad thing. I am beginning to really enjoy it, but I still don't want to be taken off guard.

"Marcus, darling!"

I shook a little before relaxing when I noticed it was Rarity. Talk about irony. Here I am keeping my guard up for Pinkie, when I get surprised by someone else.

"Yes, Rarity?" I asked.

"I am here to give you your fair share of our profits," She answered.

"Oh. You sold them already?"

"Indeed, I have. They are selling out quickly and I just keep on getting plenty of new clients," She walked right up to me and gently rubbed my cheek, "It's all thanks to you. My little precious money maker," She then gave me quick kisses on both cheeks, "Maybe, I should give you something else as payment," She finished with a flirty wink.

"I..." I stuttered with a completely red face.

Before Rarity could respond and likely make a comment of my nervousness, someone else called out my name.

"Marky!"

Suddenly, you know who appeared and upon noticing Rarity close to me, she became annoyed.

"Oh. I see you two are having fun."

"We were before you interrupted Pinkie, darling," Rarity responded with a dirty look.

"Well, we can all have fun together, Rarity. That way someone doesn't miss out."

I am not in the mood to deal with bickering jealous girls in the morning. At least the rest of the group aren't here to make it worse.

"Sup everyone," Rainbow greeted, appearing with the rest of the Rainbooms, "What's going on here."

"Oh. Nothing much," Rarity answered with a charming smile, "Just rewarding my business partner for doing a great job," Rarity embraced me and gently rubbed my face with hers, causing most of the girls to give her dirty looks.

"Don't you think you are being too affectionate with him?" Applejack asked bitterly.

"Oh, don't be silly! If anything, I haven't been affectionate enough!" Rarity responded.

"You too Applejack?" Rainbow asked, "Damn stud. Keep this up and you will get every girl in town to fall for you."

I only groaned at Rainbow's teasing. For my sake I hope not. Having six, if I am counting correctly, girls liking me is already crazy enough.

"Well, I guess I am beginning to understand why the rest of you have taken a liking to him," Was all the cowgirl answered.

"At any rate," Sunset began getting all of our attention, "He already spent plenty of time with you Rarity. Why not give the rest of us an opportunity?"

"Considering he is still single, he's fair game," Was Rarity's response, "Besides, Pinkie is the one you need to say that to."

"Hey!" Pinkie exclaimed annoyedly, "Excuse me for giving a good friend some affection."

"Friends Pinkie? Do only friends plot to get the other to sleep with them and even French kiss them after a dare?" Rainbow teased with a chuckle.

"Well..."

Before anyone else could say anything, the school bell rang. Thank goodness I was getting tired of dealing with this today, but I know I am going to have to straighten out the girls sooner than later.

I arrived back home with everything I needed to start my live stream. My payment form Rarity helped me afford everything I needed. Glad to know helping the girls is starting to pay off. At least in that way. Anyway, I placed an empty canvas on an easel on top of a large blank tarp. Then I grabbed a large paint holder with all the paint I needed on it, and a small container filled with water, with a few different size brushes. With the laptop next to me and the stream ready for me to start at any moment, it was finally time for the moment of truth. This was only a test run to see if it goes well and if I enjoy doing such a thing. I took a deep breath before starting the stream and to my slight surprise I noticed a handful of people watching and even noticed a few commenting.

It's nice to see someone attempting to stream something other than video games

I do enjoy seeing awesome art. Here's hoping it's exciting to see someone do it live

I'm only here to wait for another of Sunset's streams. I Hope it will be interesting enough.

Well, looks like I have more of a reason to make sure this goes well. Well, here goes.

"Hello everyone! Seeing Sunset's own live streams are doing well for her, I decided to start my own, but instead of doing what everyone else is doing and playing video games, I decided to do something more original. One important aspect of making art is creativity. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with following a trend and doing something different doesn't mean it's inherently better, there should always be more variety. Hence here I am making new art live for all of you to hopefully enjoy. This is a test run to see if it does well and I enjoy doing it." I announced before holding out the paint holder and grabbing a brush, "Now without a further ado, let's get started. Here is our currently empty canvas. What will it become you might be asking? That's the fun part about art. It could be anything you want. There's no limit, as long as you have the patience and creativity. Now let's start with the basics and do the background," I dipped the brush into the blue paint and splattered a nice chunk on an empty spot and grabbed some white paint, mixing the two colors, until it became light enough as the color of the sky, "Let's start by adding a basic sky. For this first painting, let's start with a simple day one. We can always do a night one and even a nicer sunset later," I evenly painted the first half of the canvas with the light blue paint, "Now to make our sky look more like a real thing let's add a few things that's necessary like clouds." I dipped the brush into the water and quickly wiped it dry, then I dipped it into the white paint, "The best thing about clouds is they come in all shapes and sizes, so don't make them all the same. Go crazy and make each one different," I made a few clouds of different shapes and sizes, before looking at the comments.

"Here we are. Not bad for our first time. I will be showing and doing other forms of art, but for now I think we will keep things simple," I spoke as I looked at the finished painting of a grassy field with flowers.

I took a relaxing breath, as I ended the live stream and decided to call it a day. This wasn't that bad. Maybe this could be a nice little thing to spend some of my free time on. We'll see. In the meantime, what am I going to do about the girls fighting over me? If only the answer was simple. I'll figure something out, or at least I hope I do.

An annoying chapter to write. I hate writing long scenes of only one character speaking for long. I prefer to keep paragraphs shorter to make it easier on the eyes, but hopefully it wasn't too bad. A potential future one where he does one with Sunset, should be better to write.

Next chapter: A skittles haired moron makes a tactless mistake.
