Chapter 1: A Breezy Start to a Friendship

If there's one thing that you know about yourself when it comes to your relationship with your friends is much like how Rainbow Dash is with them, you have undying loyalty towards them. Whenever they're in trouble, whether it's from getting hurt or if they're sad or upset about something, you always try to rush to their aid in anyway that you can. Which is why after the incident that you partially caused regarding Zephyr Breeze at Pinkie Pie's slumber party, you have decided to try and keep him from bothering Rainbow Dash like that again. And to do so, you decided to become his friend. That way, not only could you keep Zephyr Breeze from bothering Rainbow Dash, but also try to be a role model for him so he'll probably try to improve himself and become a better person through watching you.

Starting today, you and Zephyr Breeze have now been hanging out as friends, which was about three days since the slumber party. It was currently Monday in the afternoon, and Zephyr Breeze asked you if you wanted to go fishing at the pond. Even though you're not exactly a fan of fishing, you decided to give it a shot anyway. Zephyr Breeze drove you both down to the pond with fishing gear in the trunk of his car, as he was planning on driving you back home after the fishing was over.

Once you and Zephyr Breeze got to the pond, you both took your stuff and then put them all into a motorboat that Zephyr Breeze rented for the day. The both of you then rode the boat on the pond for a few minutes until you both were sure that you were surrounded by plenty of fish.

"Okay, I think this is a good spot." You said to Zephyr Breeze.

"You got it!" Zephyr Breeze replied as he turned off the boat. He then walked over to where you were standing while looking at how many fish were swimming in your location. And based on his nodding, this did seem like a good spot to fish. "You have a good eye, Anon. Yeah, let's hang out in this spot for a bit."

"Cool." You said as you and he unpacked the fishing gear to get the things you needed. "You know, I'm not really that much of a fishing person, but I think this might be a good experience for me."

"Oh, you better believe it is." Zephyr Breeze replied. "Not just for building experience and getting outside, but also staying in shape for the ladies!"

"Really? You don't say." You snorted while rolling your eyes.

"Yes, I do say." Zephyr Breeze said while grinning. "Fishing is considered a low-impact cardio workout that doesn't have any of those painful cramps and exhaustion that most workouts have. And any workout that helps me improve my sexy figure without any pain is my kind of a workout."

"Well, with your current level of sexiness, I'd say we're gonna be here for more than a decade until you've made improvements." You replied while also chuckling.

"You are most certainly right, Ano... Hey!" Zephyr Breeze exclaimed as he just caught on about your insult to him.

"I'm just kidding, Zephyr. You're already an attractive person." You laughed as you pulled Zephyr Breeze's leg.

"You're done right I'm an attractive person." Zephyr Breeze replied in a rather offended tone. "I'm one of the most attractive guys at CHS, if not the most attractive guy at CHS. And don't you forget it, pal."

It seems like you have touched a nerve when it comes to this guy since he seems rather touchy and arrogant about his appearance. So much so that he'll brag in a pretentious manner about how he is the most attractive guy around to the ladies. You always thought Rainbow Dash's ego could get annoying sometimes, but Zephyr Breeze certainly reaches a higher peak than her, especially since she at least can back up what she dishes out while this guy cannot. And since this was your first day of hanging out with him, you do not want to start off on the wrong foot with him. So of course, you apologized.

"Sorry, Zephyr Breeze." You said to Zephyr Breeze in an apologetic tone.

"It's okay, Anon. I forgive you." Zephyr Breeze replied as you and he were almost finishing separating your gear. "It's just not that nice when it comes to not acknowledging a guy's handsomeness. But that's not much of a problem for you since you're not really handsome, especially compared to me."

"Huh?" You asked as you heard Zephyr Breeze insulting you back.

"But enough about that, let's get our fishing day started!" Zephyr Breeze stated with excitement as he handed you a fishing pole.

"Okay." You replied with a sigh over Zephyr Breeze's comment about your looks, which seems like that he wasn't joking with you like you were joking with him. But you brushed it off since you wanted to enjoy the day instead of getting ticked off. You then took your fishing pole and then you walked over to one side of the boat while Zephyr Breeze walked to the opposite. You both then took a worm from the container that has worms in it, and you both then casted your lines and waited until one of you got a bite.


Ten minutes later since you and Zephyr Breeze casted your lines, you both have caught no fish so far. Suddenly, you felt your line tug a bit.

"Hey, I got something!" You said to Zephyr Breeze.

"Cool! Reel it in!" Zephyr Breeze replied to you.

You immediately started turning the reel to pull your catch in.

"What kind of fish do you think it'll be?" Zephyr Breeze asked you.

"Maybe it's a tuna fish." You replied.

"A tuna fish? That's all you can hope for a catch?" Zephyr Breeze asked while looking at you with a confusion.

"Maybe the tuna fish is something more than just a regular one." You said as you continued to reel in what fish you caught. "Maybe it's a really big tuna. Or maybe it's got a unique color pattern. Or maybe it..." You then reeled in your fish for both of you to see. And much to the surprise of both of you, it was not a fish. In fact, it's not even a sea animal. What was hanging from your fishhook was a soaking wet concertina covered in sea weed. "...Plays music."

You and Zephyr Breeze both stared at the instrument with puzzlement over what it was doing at the bottom of a pond. A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on your face.

"Nuts! I was hoping it to be a really good catch!" You exclaimed with frustration.

"Don't feel bad, Anon." Zephyr Breeze said while patting you on the back. "We don't have to catch fish in order to have fun out here. We can catch other things, too. And no matter what we catch, it doesn't matter as long as we're having fun." He then flexes his muscles while giving you a smirk. "And most importantly, as long as we're getting exercise to look studly."

You snorted and rolled your eyes as Zephyr Breeze said this. But you agreed with him regardless of his shallow desire to be strong for the ladies.

"Okay. If we're just searching for junk now, then I guess we won't be needing the bait." You answered as you tossed the worm on your hook into the pond, and then closed the container full of worms.

"That's right. We don't." Zephyr Breeze replied as you both then went back to your sides of the boat to continue your so-called fishing. "Okay. Whatever it is that one of us catches, that person keeps it."

"Sounds fair." You said to Zephyr Breeze as you and he casted your lines again while waiting for whatever next piece of junk that you find in the pond.


Another ten minutes later, you and Zephyr Breeze so far have caught nothing else. The both of you then felt tugs on your lines.

"I caught something! You have?! Then reel it in!" You both said and replied at the same time as you two reeled in your catches. You both then told each other what you caught.

"I caught a golf cleat." Zephyr Breeze told you.

"I caught a bath brush." You told Zephyr Breeze.

"A bath brush?" Zephyr Breeze asked while looking at the bath brush with a confused reaction.

"Yeah. I guess someone decided to take a bath in this pond and then they forgot about this brush when they left." You chuckled as you joked about what a bath brush was doing in a pond.

"Who would do something as weird as that?" Zephyr Breeze replied while also chuckling.

"I don't know. But whoever that person is, they must be quite the weirdo." You answered with an amused look on your face.

You and Zephyr Breeze then laughed after you said this. As you both laughed, neither of you noticed that another motorboat pulled up near you two that was a few feat away from you.

"Hi, Anon! Hi, Zephyr Breeze!" A familiar voice called out to you.

Both you and Zephyr Breeze turned around to see that the boat next you two had Fluttershy riding in it, who was the person that called out to you two. Three of her friends are with her in that boat, and those three friends are Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie.

"Hey, Fluttershy! Hey, Pinkie Pie! Hey, Applejack! Hey, Rainbow Da..." You called out to your friends but were then shoved out of the way by Zephyr Breeze, which makes you fall over.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash!" Zephyr Breeze called out to Rainbow Dash.

The four of your friends scowl at Zephyr Breeze after they had just witnessed him pushing you out of the way like a jerk.

"Zephyr, that wasn't very nice." Fluttershy stated in a serious tone. "Apologize to him right now."

"Huh?" Zephyr Breeze asked and then looked down at you as he realized that he pushed you down. "Oh! Sorry, Anon. I didn't hurt you, did I?"

"You? Hurt someone? Nooo. Never." You replied sarcastically.

"Well, that's good." Zephyr Breeze said while smiling as he clearly did not pick up on your sarcasm. He then looks back at Rainbow Dash with smirk. "Knowing that I can't hurt anyone, that means that I have not once hurt Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow Dash groans from annoyance of Zephyr Breeze's stubborn behavior. The other girls weren't giggling this time since they all were there to witness what Zephyr Breeze did to Rainbow Dash that made her cry. In fact, they were still scowling at him.

"Zephyr Breeze, you did hurt my feelings. Remember that phone call at Pinkie's slumber party?" Rainbow Dash asked in an angry tone. "That reminds me, you still have yet to apologize to me."

"I don't see what I have to apologize to you about, Rainbow Dash. But if it means you not being mad at me about something, then I'll do it." Zephyr Breeze replied while shrugging, which then becomes an apologetic expression. "So, I'm sorry for hurting your feelings."

"You know darn well what you..." You tried to speak up but you were then interrupted Rainbow Dash.

"Anon, forget about it. He apologized, so we should just let it go." Rainbow Dash replied while staring down at the pond with a hopeless expression.

You suddenly remembered about what Rainbow Dash told you after Zephyr Breeze's offensive phone call at Pinkie Pie's slumber party, about how nothing you'd say would get through to that idiot's head. This guy is clearly not only stubborn, but a total narcissist. He must think that he does no wrong and just blames others when problems happen. So making him understand his mistakes is a waste of time. So of course, you listened to Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." You replied reluctantly.

"Okay, good. Now that that's out of the way, what are you girls up to?" Zephyr Breeze asked the girls.

"We're helpin' Fluttershy find herself some more sea pets." Applejack replied.

"Yeah! And Fluttershy is letting me be the first one to say hello to her new friends!" Pinkie said happily. Pinkie then turns around and looks down at the pond. "Speaking of which, time to give some new friends the Pinkie Pie welcome wagon!" Pinkie then dunks her head into the pond in hopes of seeing some fish swim by to be the first to say hello to them.

"Good luck with that!" You called out to the girls. "We haven't caught any fish yet! All we've caught is a bunch of junk, and I think I should give you the heads up that..."

Suddenly, you all heard a huge thunk near Pinkie under the water, which shook her a bit. She then pulled her head out of the water, and you all then looked at her in surprise as her head was inside a toaster oven. Pinkie then looks at Fluttershy while still having her head in the toaster oven.

"Hey, Fluttershy? How about we greet these new friends of yours with some toast?" Pinkie suggested.

Rainbow Dash started to giggle as Pinkie said that. Applejack then took the toaster oven off Pinkie's while having an unamused expression. Applejack then looks back at you and Zephyr Breeze.

"So you two have been tryin' to catch fish?" Applejack asked you two.

"You bet we have!" Zephyr Breeze replied proudly. "Though, we're mainly doing it for the exercise."

"Exercise?" Rainbow Dash asked Zephyr Breeze while raising a confused eyebrow.

"Yes, my prismatic beauty." Zephyr Breeze replied while grinning at Rainbow Dash. "I was reading a sports magazine the other day about the kinds of sports that help improve body mass, which featured a bunch of good looking men in that magazine. Their attractiveness caught my attention which wanted me to get it on that, so I looked through different sports until I found the one that would give me the least amount of work to do."

"A sport where you don't have to do much work?" You replied in a deadpan tone. "Congratulations, Zephyr Breeze. You're bringing new life and meaning to the concept of laziness."

The girls started to giggle as you made fun of Zephyr Breeze. Of course, Pinkie was giggling the hardest as you could see tears rolling down her face. Zephyr Breeze looked at you with an unamused look.

"Um, excuse me. May I please continue?" Zephyr Breeze asked while clearing his throat.

"Proceed." You replied.

"Thank you." Zephyr Breeze said as he continued on with his story. "So nothing in that magazine was what I was looking for, so I searched online to check out some other sports. I discovered that fishing is considered a sport and counts as a low-impact cardio workout that doesn't have any exhaustion or pain, so I chose that. So I chose to start fishing to look like one of those men in that magazine, and just maybe even be featured in that magazine as the first man to have fishing as one its sport categories."

You and the girls looked at Zephyr Breeze with the uttermost confusion, except for Pinkie who gave Zephyr Breeze a friendly smile.

"I hope you accomplish your goal, Zephyr Breeze. And I can't wait to see how much muscle you build." Pinkie said to Zephyr Breeze while giving him a toothy smile. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Applejack all gave Pinkie a deadpan expression as she wished Zephyr Breeze good luck. Pinkie then became confused as they all stared at her. "What? I'm being supportive."

They all then looked back at Zephyr Breeze and Rainbow Dash then spoke up.

"Zephyr Breeze. You are a complete idiot." Rainbow Dash said to Zephyr Breeze while still giving a deadpan expression.

"Heh. Just you wait, Rainbow. You'll be falling head over heels over my new body up close, and in the magazine to gaze at 24/7." Zephyr Breeze replied with a smirk while also flexing his muscles.

Rainbow Dash shivered in disgust just by the thought of what Zephyr Breeze just told her.

"There is no way anyone would ever put you in a magazine." Rainbow Dash stated as her disgusted face turned into a smirking face.

"I don't know, Rainbow Dash. I think Zephyr Breeze being a magazine is not only a possibility, but a very good idea." You said to Rainbow Dash.

"You really think so, Anon?" Zephyr Breeze asked you with a wide grin.

"I know so." You replied with a smirk. "I mean, so many people will be buying a magazine with a picture of you in it. And do you know what tons of people having a picture of you means?"

"It means tons of people will be able to marvel at my hotness." Zephyr Breeze answered while crossing her arms with a proud look on his face.

"Nope. It means tons of people will be able to draw a pair of glasses on your face, and shade in a tooth or two with a marker." You said while chucking a bit.

The girls including Fluttershy laughed at your remark towards Zephyr Breeze. Zephyr Breeze looks at the girls with an embarrassed look on his face, and he then looks back at you with an angry face. He then smiles at you and then speaks up.

"At least I'm attractive with or without glasses. Unlike you, Anon." Zephyr Breeze said to you with a smirk.

"Woah!" You chucked a bit as you were impressed by Zephyr Breeze's comeback. "You got me good, Zephyr!"

"You bet I did. And that's because it's true, Anon. You're not attractive." Zephyr Breeze replied while also chucking a bit.

Your smiling face suddenly turned into a look of confusion as Zephyr Breeze insulted your appearance in a non-joking manner again.

"What?" You asked while also sounding a bit offended.

"Yep. I just said that you're unattractive." Zephyr Breeze replied with a look of proudness. He then looks back at you with an angry look. "Maybe now you know how I feel about you insulting my appearance."

"Zephyr, I wasn't insulting you. I was joking with you." You stated as you started to sound sad. "What you're doing to me is being insulting."

"Don't try to make yourself the victim, Anon." Zephyr Breeze replied coldly. "You're the one who started this by insulting me first."

"But I..." You tried to speak up but were then interrupted.

"No buts. Now I'd suggest you'd better apologize to me right now." Zephyr Breeze replied while still sounding cold.

"I'm sorry, Zephyr! I really am and I'll never..." You tried to apologize, but were then interrupted by Rainbow Dash.

"You don't have to apologize, Anon!" Rainbow Dash told you in an serious tone.

"Yeah! You did nothin' wrong, sugarcube!" Applejack also told you in a serious tone. "He just doesn't how to take a joke when people are pullin' his leg!"

"And that's a super ginormous problem because being able to laugh at yourself is very important!" Pinkie also told you while agreeing with Applejack.

"Zephyr Breeze! Apologize to Anon now!" Fluttershy demanded in an angry tone.

"Not happening, sis." Zephyr Breeze refused. "I have nothing to apologi..."

Before Zephyr Breeze could finish his sentence, Fluttershy started giving him a rather odd looking angry stare. Upon seeing the stare, Zephyr Breeze jumped a bit, and then started to have a fearful expression. You had to admit that even though you have no idea what that was about, it made you jump a bit too.

"OKAY! OKAY! I'LL APOLOGIZE! JUST STOP GIVING ME THAT STARE!" Zephyr Breeze begged while sounding very scared. He then gets down on his knees and starts apologizing to you. "ANON, I'M SORRY! THEY'RE RIGHT! I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO TAKE A JOKE!"

You weren't really buying the apology since he didn't really seem apologetic for insulting you and making you feel like a jerk and was only doing it under intimidation. But still, you accepted it anyway.

"Apology accepted." You replied.

"Thank goodness." Zephyr Breeze said while sweating and panting as it looks like Fluttershy really gave him a scare. He then turns around and walks to the other side of the boat. "I'm gonna take a breather over here to calm myself down."

The girls except for Fluttershy started laughing again. You then looked at Fluttershy to ask her about that stare.

"What was that all about, Fluttershy?" You asked her.

"Oh, it's just a face that I make whenever one of my pets are misbehaving in order to straighten them out." Fluttershy replied with a friendly smile at you. She then looks back at her brother. "It also can work on humans, such as my brother."

"Well, I'm glad you gave him that stare to teach him lesson, and I'm glad you all stood up for me." You said to Fluttershy with a friendly smile, which then turns into a gloomy look. "Because for a second there, he really had me convinced that I'm a jerk."

The girls then looked at with a worried expression as you told them this. The same friends along with your other friends including Sunset always told you how much of a nice guy you are, and four of those friends had just witnessed Zephyr Breeze gaslighting you into thinking that you're a bad person. Thank goodness they were there to stop you from believing something that isn't true. You then looked at Zephyr Breeze, who still had his back turned and was still trying to calm down from Fluttershy's stare. You then started to get furious from what Zephyr Breeze did to you, and you of course wanted payback. You then asked Fluttershy for her permission.

"Hey, Fluttershy. Can I..." You tried to ask Fluttershy but were then interrupted by her.

"Yes, Anon. You can get back at my brother." Fluttershy said with a warm smile.

Rainbow Dash gave you a wide toothy smile and her eyes sparkled as Fluttershy gave you permission.

"Another revenge attempt on Zephyr Breeze?! Sweet! This I got to see!" Rainbow Dash replied.

"But it's not just going to be one this time, but two revenge plans." You said to Rainbow Dash with a smirk. "One for gaslighting me, and one for bothering you again, Rainbow Dash."

"I can't wait to see it!" Pinkie giggled with excitement.

"Neither can Ah." Applejack agreed.

"Okay. Then let's see what the first one will be." You said while looking around inside the motorboat for your first revenge plan. You looked back at Zephyr Breeze and still had his back turned. You then looked down to see your fishing pole by your feet. You them immediately got an idea, which made you start to giggle.

"What are you planning, Anon?" Rainbow Dash asked you.

"You'll see." You replied. You then picked up your fishing pole and tiptoed over to Zephyr Breeze.

As you started to put your plan into motion, Zephyr Breeze did not notice you near him as he was still trying to calm himself down. Either Fluttershy's stare is really all that terrifying, or Zephyr Breeze is just a huge scaredy-cat. As you tiptoed back to the other side of the boat after finishing step 1, you were now about to commence step 2.

As Zephyr Breeze finally finished up getting a breather, he turned around to see that you were about to cast your finishing line.

"That's quite a cast you're about to make, Anon." Zephyr Breeze chuckled as he looked at you. He then looks back at the girls to probably flirt with Rainbow Dash more. As he looked at them, he noticed they were all trying their hardest not to laugh, which made their cheeks swell up. And for some reason, Rainbow Dash had her phone out and was pointing it at Zephyr Breeze. The giggling made Zephyr Breeze very confused.

"What's so funny, girls?" Zephyr Breeze asked them.

"Hey, Zephyr Breeze. You might wanna look down." Applejack said while still trying not to laugh.

"What are you talking about?" Zephyr Breeze asked as he looked down to see what Applejack was talking about. He then noticed that there was a fishhook attached to his pant leg. He then looks back up at the girls. "I don't know what you girls think is funny, but..." Zephyr Breeze's eyes immediately went wide as there was something else about that fishhook he just realized. He then looked back down again and noticed that the hook was attached to a line. He then followed the line to see where it was coming from, and where that line was coming from happened to be your fishing pole. And yes, you were indeed going to make a cast. Upon realizing what was going on, Zephyr Breeze made a panicking expression. "Uh, Anon?"

As you heard Zephyr Breeze, you immediately prepared to cast your line.

"ANON, WAIT!" Zephyr Breeze shouted at you in panic.

"Tally-ho." You said quietly with a huge smirk. You then started to cast your line with all your might.

"NO!!!" Zephyr Breeze screamed as he watched you cast your line.

As you casted your line while putting all your strength into it, your fishhook and line pulled off Zephyr Breeze's pants, and then your hook with Zephyr Breeze's pants attached to it landed in the pond.

Upon tripping and following down from the cast, Zephyr Breeze stood up back onto his feet. He then looked down and noticed that his pants were gone and he's in his underwear. He reacted with an appalled expression, and then slowly looked back at the girls as they saw what just happened. As he looked at them, the girls who were giggling a second ago started to laugh very hard after witnessing probably the most humiliating thing to ever happen to Zephyr Breeze.

"Nice underpants, Zephyr Breeze!" Rainbow Dash laughed as tears rolled down her face while still pointing her phone at Zephyr Breeze. "Wait till the other girls see tomorrow what I recorded!"

Zephyr Breeze then crouched down to keep the girls from seeing him, and he then gave out a very loud girly scream as the girls continued to laugh at him.

You then looked back at the screaming Zephyr Breeze with a proud look on your face.

"Gosh. Ain't I a stinker?" You asked yourself rhetorically.


About twenty minutes later, you were now back home. After you pantsed Zephyr Breeze with your fishing pole in front of the girls back at the pond, Zephyr Breeze immediately turned the boat back on and left after you gave him his pants. On the way back to your place, he didn't say anything to you, even when you said bye to him after he dropped you off. He must have been too embarrassed to talk at the moment.

As you were about to head inside, you suddenly got a text on your phone. And the text was from Rainbow Dash.

Hey, Anon. Did you do your second revenge plan on him yet?

You texted back to her to tell her that you haven't.

No, not yet. And since I'm now back at my house, I'm going to have to postpone it until tomorrow at school.

Thirty seconds later, Rainbow Dash texted you back.

Oh. Well, that's good because I get to see it in action! I hope it'll be a good one! See you tomorrow, Anon.

You texted back to her to close the conversation.

See you tomorrow, Rainbow Dash. Have a good night.

As you put your phone away, you smiled knowing how you and Rainbow Dash have improved your friendship since the slumber party. But sadly though, thinking about the slumber party also made you think back to when Rainbow Dash was crying after Zephyr Breeze hurt her feelings, which made you feel sad once again from thinking about it.

"Rainbow Dash deserves better than him." You said to yourself in your head. "And if Zephyr Breeze is not going to learn and continue to hurt people like her, then I'm just gonna have to teach him a lesson whenever he does." You then pulled a bottle out of your pocket while smirking at it. That bottle you're holding is a bottle of cologne that you snatched from one of Zephyr Breeze's pants pockets when you reeled them in while the girls were laughing at him. For your second revenge plan, you were going to plan something from him with this bottle of cologne, but you haven't exactly thought up an idea for that yet.

"Eh. I'm sure I'll come up with something tomorrow." You said to yourself as you entered your home to kick back for the evening.

As you entered the living room through the front door, you noticed that there were two notes on the coffee table.

Anon.

Your father and I will be gone all week on a business trip. We would like you to take care of the chores we were planning on taking care of this morning before we left, but we had to leave in a hurry. Me and your father love you and we'll see you first thing in the morning on Sunday.

Love, Mom.

You sighed and rolled your eyes at your parents once again spending an entire week doing nothing but working. You then looked at the other note which was a chores list. It didn't seem too long as you looked through it. But there's one thing on that list that you didn't want to do: Remove the poison ivy in the garden.

"Aw, man! I hate poison ivy!" You complained aloud. "It's so painful! So itchy! So..." An idea then immediately popped into your head. You then looked back at the bottle of cologne, and then a smirk appeared on your face once again. "...Beneficial."

You went into the garage to grab yourself a pair of gardening gloves. You then went back to the front door as you were planning to get the poison ivy taken care of first on that list.

"Time to get some gardening done." You said as you walked outside with a mischievous smile like you had something in mind planned for your second revenge plan against Zephyr Breeze for tomorrow.

Chapter 2: An Uncertain Morning

You got up bright and early this morning to make sure that Zephyr Breeze will fall for your second revenge plan that you have been planning yesterday. You called Zephyr Breeze as soon as you woke up and asked him to meet you at the school in one hour because you had something that you wanted to talk to him about. And much to your hopes, he said yes and that he'll be able to show up at school at that time. You were currently hiding behind a tree in the school front yard waiting for Zephyr Breeze to show up so you could somehow give the cologne back to him without him knowing you took it.

As you waited for Zephyr Breeze to arrive, you got a text from your best friend who then became your girlfriend at the slumber party, Sunset Shimmer.

Good morning, Anon. Do you want to walk with me and the girls to school today?

Normally, you'd never turn down an offer to hang out with Sunset and the other girls. But of course, you were busy at the moment and you're already at school, so you had to decline much to your disappointment.

I'd love to, but I'm already at school right now and I'm busy with something. I'll explain it to you guys later.

Ten seconds later, Sunset texted back.

Oh, you're already at school? Okay, then I'll see you there.

You then texted her back.

See you there.

As you sent your text, you looked up from your phone and noticed that a car drove by and then parked in the school's faculty lot. You immediately recognized that car as it looked like Zephyr Breeze's, and Zephyr Breeze stepped out of the car confirming your guess. You were confused as to why he would park his car over there since students parking their cars in the faculty lot is forbidden, but you of course brushed it off since this was Zephyr Breeze that you're talking about.

You then got out from behind the tree and walked over to the faculty lot to greet Zephyr Breeze.

"Hey, Zephyr!" You greeted him. "I'm glad you could show up early!"

"With pleasure, my friend." Zephyr Breeze replied with a friendly smile. "If the reason you called me out here was to apologize about what happened yesterday, don't sweat it. I forgive you."

"Really?" You asked.

"Well, mainly because Fluttershy convinced me to with that stare of hers, and also I shouldn't hold a grudge anyway." Zephyr Breeze said with a honest tone.

"Oh, okay." You replied with a nod. "But, no. That's not why I called you out here."

"Oh. Well, then what's up?" Zephyr Breeze asked.

"I want to help you with hooking up with Rainbow Dash." You said as you tried to cover up the real reason. "I figured after so many times you've failed with making her fall for you, you could use some pointers."

Zephyr Breeze stared at you as you said this and then blinked twice. He then bursted out laughing from your offer. You stared at him with an unamused expression as Zephyr Breeze continued to laugh. He then stopped laughing at you and finally responded to your offer.

"Anon, thanks. But I'm already a professional lady killer, so I don't need any help." Zephyr Breeze replied with a smirk. "And I already told you before, Rainbow Dash already has fallen for me. She's just too shy to confess her love for me yet."

"Really? Because it doesn't seem like she's shy around you." You told him while still giving him an unamused expression. "In fact, she seems more disgusted and annoyed around you. Remember that phone call at Pinkie's slumber party?"

"Yes, I do." Zephyr Breeze replied in a condescending tone while crossing his arms. "I also remember that you and the girls were with her since Fluttershy called me, and she was being teased when I was flirting with her."

"With flirting like that, who needs harassment?" You whispered to yourself.

"What?" Zephyr Breeze asked while raising a curious eyebrow.

"Nothing." You replied to him quickly. "Look. I know that you may think she's afraid of being teased by her friends if she were to be open about something like that, and that's sometimes true. But..."

"Aha! So that is the truth!" Zephyr Breeze exclaimed while pointing at you.

"What?! No!" You shouted.

"No matter. I don't mind waiting for a bit while longer till that girl will dash over to me with her arms open and her lips puckering up." Zephyr Breeze chuckled while turning around and stood proudly with his hands on his hips.

You watched in disgust as Zephyr Breeze had his back turned while making smooching sounds as he pretended to be hugging and kissing Rainbow Dash. You then suddenly remembered what you came here to do, and now was your chance since Zephyr Breeze's back was turned. You took the bottle of cologne out of your pocket and gently set it down on the ground near Zephyr Breeze's feet. Zephyr Breeze then turned around to look back at you.

"But, I'll tell you what. Even though I said I don't need it, I'll give your love advice a try." Zephyr Breeze said while not noticing the cologne bottle near him.

"Really?" You asked while trying to keep a straight face.

"Sure." Zephyr Breeze replied with a smile. "Since we're friends after all, we should give each other helpful tips for..." Zephyr Breeze then felt a tap on his foot as he stepped forward a bit. He then looked down to see his cologne was on the ground. He then picked it up with a confused look on his face. "How did this fall out of my pocket?" Zephyr Breeze then put the bottle into his pocket, much to your delight as he once again fell for what's coming to him. "Anyway. I'll give your love advice a try."

"Great!" You replied with excitement. "All I need you to do is watch me whenever I'm interacting with the girls. And before you know it, you and Rainbow Dash will..."

"ZEPHYR BREEZE!!!" A voice shouted out to Zephyr Breeze as it appeared that he was in trouble, which was no surprise to you.

You and Zephyr Breeze jumped as you heard that voice, and the both of you knew whose voice that was. You then looked behind you to see that person walking over to you two with the same scowling face she makes whenever she catches a student breaking the rules. And much to the fear of you both, that person was indeed Vice Principal Luna.

As Vice Principal Luna walked over to you and Zephyr Breeze, both of you were shaking in fear. Though, you were the most fearful between you two for one embarrassing reason: You're afraid of Vice Principal Luna. Not that you thought she was a bad person, it's just you've seen her when she catches students breaking the rules and those angry and serious faces she makes make her look like a walking nightmare.

Vice Principal Luna approached Zephyr Breeze while staring at him with a cold scowl that instantly gave you shivers down your spine just from looking at her. She then finally spoke to Zephyr Breeze.

"How many times do I have to tell you? No student parking in the faculty lot." Vice Principal Luna said in a rather seething tone.

"Uh... I'm sorry." Zephyr Breeze replied while sounding a bit scared. "I won't do it again."

"That's what you said the last three times I've told you." She replied as she pulled a notepad with detention slips on it. "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to write you a detention."

Vice Principal Luna then writes up a detention slip and hands it to Zephyr Breeze.

"Aw, man!" Zephyr Breeze whined. He then walked back to his car. "I guess I'll go park my car in the other lot."

"Thank you." Vice Principal Luna replied with an annoyed look.

Zephyr Breeze got into his car and then backed out of the parking spot and then drove his car out of the faculty lot. As he drove past you and Vice Principal Luna, she continued to give him an annoyed look that tells she's fed up from the repetition of this incident.

Since Vice Principal Luna wasn't looking at you, this looked like a good time for you to get going so you could avoid any possible trouble with her. So you slowly started to walk away without trying to make any sound, but that didn't stop her from turning around to look at you since she obviously saw you with Zephyr Breeze.

"Excuse me, young man?" Vice Principal Luna asked you.

"H-huh?!" You stuttered as you turned around to look at the Vice Principal with sweat pouring down your face with a fearful look in your eye as you looked into her eyes as she raised an eyebrow at you.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Uh... A-Anon. Anon Y. Mous." You stuttered again in response.

"Anon Y. Mous?" Vice Principal Luna asked again.

You nodded in response.

"And do you happen to have a car parked here in this lot?" She asked.

You shook your head in response.

"Okay, then." She replied as she started to walk back to the main entrance of the school. "I'm glad to see that one of you knows how to follow the rules. Have a good day."

As she walked away, you wiped the sweat off of your forehead in relief that you weren't in trouble. You then took a deep breath and then started walking towards the school entrance to get started early on another long school day.


A few hours later into the day, you just got out of your trigonometry class with Mr. Cranky Doodle, who amusingly had more to say about the mysterious prank call he received four days ago than the actual lesson for today. You were trying your hardest not to laugh while that was going on to avoid drawing suspicion regardless of how funny it was. With that class out of the way, you decided to go meet up with the girls in their usual hangout spot in the school: The music room. Since they're in a band known as "The Rainbooms", they're usually doing band practice in there when they have free time.

As you approached the music room, you saw the girls were indeed in there like they usually are. Though, they weren't doing band practice. It looked more like they were all watching something on Rainbow Dash's phone from over her shoulder. And judging from the snickering sounds coming from Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack, you immediately knew what they were watching. Though, Fluttershy was the only one who wasn't giggling out of the four of them that were present at the pond yesterday.

"Here it comes!" Rainbow Dash tells Sunset, Twilight, and Rarity.

You suddenly heard those four girls' laughter from Rainbow Dash's phone, followed by Zephyr Breeze's recognizable high pitched scream, which was then followed by all the girls laughing to the video that was obviously a recording of you pantsing him with a fishing pole. Much like your last prank on him at the sleepover, all the girls were certainly laughing hard at this new one. Fluttershy was still the only one not laughing and was actually staring down at the floor with a worried look.

"What a card that Anon is!" Rarity laughed.

"Yeah! I would never expect anything less from that little jokester!" Sunset agreed while laughing just as much as the others.

"Even though I'd usually disapprove of something like this, Zephyr Breeze once again deserved it!" Twilight pointed out while also having a hard laugh.

"Oh, man! This is rich!" Rainbow Dash said as her laughter began to die down. "I can't wait to put this on the internet!"

Suddenly, the room became silent, which confused Rainbow Dash as she turned around to see the girls were giving her disapproving scowls.

"Uh... I mean I was going to delete it after I showed it to you three!" Rainbow Dash chuckled nervously while pointing to her three friends that weren't at the pond yesterday.

Rainbow Dash then tapped the trashcan icon on her phone to deleted the video, much to her reluctance.

"That was the right choice to make, Rainbow Dash." You said as you stepped into the room.

All of the girls turned to you as you spoke up while entering the room. Upon seeing you, a wide toothy smile appeared on Rainbow Dash's face. And the next thing you knew, she dashed towards you and pounced you to the floor in excitement, much to the disturbance of you and the other girls.

"I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash. I don't have any treats on me." You said in a creeped out tone.

Rainbow Dash's excited face turned into a smirk upon hearing your witty comment while also making a snorting sound.

"Very funny, Anon." Rainbow Dash said as she got off of you while also grabbing your hand to pull you up. "Sorry, I was just excited about your next prank on Zephyr Breeze that you mentioned yesterday."

"Well, you won't have to wait any longer because I took care of that this morning." You replied while grinning.

"Oh, so that's why you couldn't walk with us to school this morning." Sunset said as she walked over to you and Rainbow Dash while giving you a smirk. "Because apparently, pulling a prank on Zephyr Breeze is more important than spending time with us, and especially with me."

"Wha... No! Spending time with all of you is more important than anything to me!" You exclaimed nervously. "And you especially, Sunset! I love you so much that I would never think of you as any less impor..."

You were then silenced by a kiss on the lips from Sunset.

"I was only kidding with you, Anon. There's no need to embarrass yourself." Sunset giggled.

"Oh. Silly me. I forget how often have said how much you mean to me ." You chuckled while blushing.

You and Sunset chuckled at your comment, and you both then looked into each others eyes with warm smiles. You then wrapped your arms around Sunset to pull her into a hug, and she then wrapped her arms around you to return the hug.

"Mmmmmm. And you've also showed how much I mean to you though these wonderful hugs." Sunset cooed while burying her face into your shoulder.

"And I'll always be happy to give them to you." You said as you tightened your embrace a bit.

"Likewise." Sunset replied while also tightening her embrace around you.

As you and Sunset once again give each other a long hug, the other girls watched you both as their hearts melted like they usually do when they see you two hug, even Rainbow Dash but she couldn't help but chuckle out of amusement.

"You know, how is this any different from when they were friends?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Well, it shows that even before they became a couple, they were very close to each other and were always so happy together." Twilight replied while looking at you and Sunset with a warm smile.

"Yeah, those two were so close that Ah'm surprised it took them so long to become a couple." Applejack said while also smiling warmly.

"Well, they're a couple now, and they look even more cute together than ever before." Fluttershy replied while clenching her hands from how adorable you and Sunset look when you two hug.

As you and Sunset continued to get lost in the warm and catharsis feeling of your hug like you two usually do, you were both met with an unexpected greeting at the entrance to the room.

"Anon, my man! You did it!" said a recognizable voice from outside the music room.

You and Sunset both looked at each other in surprised confusion and looked at the entrance to find that Zephyr Breeze had just walked in.

"Why didn't you tell me that you and that Sunset girl hooked up?" Zephyr Breeze asked while smiling excitingly. "If I had known that, then I would have definitely agreed with getting some love advice from you."

"Love advice?" Sunset asked you.

"I'll explain it to you and Rainbow Dash later." You replied to Sunset as you and she separate from the hug. You then turned to Zephyr Breeze. "So, what's up?"

"Oh, nothing much." Zephyr Breeze responded with a smirk while looking at Rainbow Dash. "Except that I wanted to show Rainbow Dash this new cologne I bought the other day."

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes while looking at Zephyr Breeze with an unamused look.

"I didn't put on any yet today because I thought you'd like to get a whiff of a fresh new squirt from the bottle." Zephyr Breeze said as he pulled out his bottle of cologne and squirted some into his hand. He then walked over to Rainbow Dash and held out his hand. "Go on. Smell it."

Rainbow Dash gave a disgusted face from having to sniff Zephyr Breeze's hand, and she then leaned into to smell the cologne.

"I don't smell anything." Rainbow Dash said after sniffing the cologne.

"Huh?" Zephyr Breeze asked. He then squirted some more into his hand and then rubbed some all over his body. He then sniffed his hands and his chest to see if the cologne was working, and it didn't seem like it was. "What's going on? Why is there no scent coming from this cologne? Suddenly, Zephyr Breeze then started to scratch himself. "And why am I starting to get so itchy?" His eyes went wide as he then started screaming again as he then started to scratch even more. "AAAHHH! Now I'm both itchy and stinging!" He then looked at you and the girls. "I'll see you all later! I have to... AAAAAHHHH! IT'S GETTING WORSE!!!"

Zephyr Breeze ran screaming out of the room to go look for a bathroom to wash the the cologne off of him. You then started to laugh as your prank was a complete success.

"So, what did you do?" Rainbow Dash said as she walked into the front of you with an amused grin on her face.

"I replaced the cologne in that bottle with poison ivy mixed with water that I made using a blender." You replied while still laughing a bit.

Rainbow Dash and the other girls reacted with wide-eyed expressions, which was then followed by all of them laughing at your latest prank. However, the only one who wasn't laughing was Fluttershy, who was still staring down at the floor with a worried look on her face. You noticed Fluttershy's worried look and wondered what was on her mind.

"What's wrong, Fluttershy?" You asked.

Fluttershy looked up at you as you asked this.

"Um, Anon? You sure you wanna do this?" Fluttershy asked while not really being specific.

"Do what?" You asked her.

"Befriend my brother and punish him whenever he's acting out of line." Fluttershy replied.

"Oh, yeah. I'm definitely sure about that. I'll do what I can to make sure his behavior is straightened out for good." You said while giving Fluttershy a hopeful smile.

"I'm really glad that you want to help him improve himself, but that's easier said than done, and the way you're doing it just doesn't seem right." Fluttershy said while staring back down at the floor again.

"What are you talking about, Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash asked while raising a curious eyebrow at Fluttershy. "You were there at Pinkie's slumber party and the pond yesterday to see that annoying cretin at his worst, and you were supporting Anon's payback plans against him both times. Why are you just now thinking that none of that stuff was right?"

"Well, for one, he's my brother. And also, I was extremely mad at him during those moments that I wanted to see him be taught a lesson." Fluttershy replied while still staring down at the floor. "But, now since I'm not that mad at the moment, I just feel bad for wanting to see him suffer like that. And I'm also worried about how Zephyr Breeze will take it in case if Anon does something that will make him too mad."

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and then gave Fluttershy a deadpan expression.

"Fluttershy, all Anon did was pull pranks on him." Rainbow Dash stated while crossing her arms. "It's not like he made Zephyr Breeze cry or seriously hurt him, that's just not who he is and I know he would never want to do those things." She then looks at you with a supportive smile while patting you on the back. "I should know."

You smiled warmly as Rainbow Dash supported you. You then looked over at the other girls, and much to your surprise, they were all looking rather uncertain just like Fluttershy.

"I don't know, Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy's worries are certainly reasonable." Rarity said.

"Yeah. Forgive me for bein' blunt, Anon, even though you did make up for it, you still made Rainbow Dash cry at the sleepover." Applejack said.

As Applejack brought that up, you looked down at the floor with a guilty look.

"Yes, he did. But, I forgave him since he did make up for it." Rainbow Dash said while looking at you with a friendly smile and ruffling your hair.

"But, forgiveness isn't always easy to gain and it's not always guaranteed. It certainly was never easy for me when I stopped being such a cruel person." Sunset said to Rainbow Dash.

"And to be fair, Rainbow Dash, we're a pretty forgiving group." Pinkie pointed out. "We've had so many big meanies that attacked us and other people that we still forgave them after we stopped them."

"And not everyone in this school is like us, especially people like Zephyr Breeze. He's certainly not like any of us." Twilight commented.

"And remember yesterday how he reacted when Anon joked with him?" Fluttershy asked. "Imagine what would have happened if we weren't there."

"That will never happen because we'll always be near Anon when he's hanging out with Zephyr Breeze." Rainbow Dash replied to Fluttershy. "If he says something to Anon that will affect him, we'll make sure to tell him what Zephyr Breeze says to him isn't true. Trust me, guys. You're all worrying over nothing. As long as we're always there for Anon, nothing will go wrong."

The girls continued to feel uncertain about this, except for Pinkie as she smiles after she thought about what Rainbow Dash says.

"I think you have a point, Rainbow Dash." Pinkie said as she walked over to you and Rainbow Dash. "And if it means more hilarious pranks from Anon, I'm game!"

The rest of the girls continued to express reluctance about this idea, especially Fluttershy, who sighed upon Pinkie agreeing with Rainbow Dash.

Suddenly, an announcement was made over the school intercom, and it was Principal Celestia who was making the announcement.

"Attention students and staff of CHS, please make your way to the gymnasium for an assembly." Principal Celestia said over the intercom.

You and the girls left the music room as you all headed to the gymnasium. As you all were walking towards the hallway, you stared down at the floor as what Fluttershy and the girls said had got you thinking.

"Should I really be doing this?" You asked yourself in your head. "I do want to keep my word to Rainbow Dash and help Zephyr Breeze improve his behavior, but is it really worth it to deal with someone like him?"

As you all approach the gym, you hoped that what Rainbow Dash said is true and that nothing bad will come out of this relationship with Zephyr Breeze.

Chapter 3: An Embarrassing Assembly

As you, the girls, and all of the students and staff make it to the gymnasium, you and all the students took a seat on the bleachers while the staff stood near the doorway. You sat in between Sunset and Twilight, which is where you usually sit whenever there is an assembly.

"I'm very excited for this assembly!" Twilight said while clenching her fists in excitement.

"Why?" You asked her.

"It's gonna be about the upcoming annual science fair at the end of the month, and I'm already thinking about which topic my project is going to be on." Twilight explained.

"Really? An assembly just for that?" You asked while sounding confused.

"I know it's nothing huge, but Principal Celestia is a huge fan of the science fairs. Which is why we're having this assembly." Twilight said while facing towards the stage as Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna walk to the stage. She then quickly looked back at you to ask you something. "Hey, Anon? If I base my project around you, will you please help me with it?"

"Uh, sure." You replied.

"Thank you." Twilight said as she then turned her attention back to the stage.

"Good morning, everyone." Principal Celestia said to the audience. "I hope you're all having a great morning."

"Yeah. Unlike me, where it was just annoying." Vice Principal Luna chuckled.

You figured that Vice Principal Luna was referring to Zephyr Breeze's constant parking in the faculty lot, which made you chuckle a bit knowing.

As Principal Celestia explained about the upcoming science fair while certainly showing her excitement for it a little too much, you and the rest of the audience listened to her. While you were listening to her, you darted your eyes over at Vice Principal Luna, and you then noticed that you and her were making eye contact. Upon noticing, your eyes went wide and you then started to sweat and an anxious feeling started to build up in your stomach. It was easy for you to look at Vice Principal Luna from a distance, but when she's actually looking at you or talking to you, your anxiety acts up due to your fear of her.

Upon seeing your anxious expression, Vice Principal Luna raised a curious eyebrow at you. She then looked over at somewhere else in the crowd, much to your relief. Sunset also noticed your anxiousness as turned her attention towards you.

"You okay?" Sunset asked you. "You seem anxious about something."

"Huh? Uh... yes! I'm just thinking about Zephyr Breeze." You replied with a lie. You always try to be honest to Sunset, but you were a little too embarrassed about your fear of Vice Principal Luna to be open about it.

"Don't worry about it." Sunset said while giving you a peck on the cheek. "Like what Rainbow Dash said, we'll always be there for you in case things go wrong. That is, if you really do want to deal with him."

"I hope so." You replied while staring down at the floor with a worried look.

"Hey, I think that's enough about that for today. Let's focus on more positive things." Sunset said while wrapping her arm around your shoulder with a friendly smile. "What kind of fish did you manage to catch yesterday down at the pond?"

"Oh, I didn't catch any fish. All I caught was junk." You replied.

"Junk?" Sunset asked while raising a curious eyebrow.

"Yep. And among that junk was a concertina, and a bath brush." You said as you showed her the bath brush that you were keeping inside your jacket. "The bath brush was the most strangest catch because it means that someone must have taken a bath in the pond."

Sunset then started snickering as you showed her the brush.

"Who would do something so strange like take a bath in a pond?" Sunset asked while giggling into her hand.

"I have no idea. But, whoever that person is, they must be a real weirdo." You chuckled.

As you and Sunset laughed about that weirdo, Principal Celestia, who was still in the middle of her speech about the science fair, looked at you and Sunset and then stopped her speech for a second.

"Excuse me? Anon Y. Mous?" Principal Celestia called out to you.

You and Sunset stopped laughing as you both heard her call out to you.

"She remembers my name?" You asked Sunset.

"After that crazy behavior of yours in her office on your first day here, how could she not?" Sunset giggled.

You blushed while rubbing the back of your head in embarrassment. You then stood up to respond to Principal Celestia.

"Yes, Principal Celestia?" You asked in response to her calling out to you.

"That thing you have in your hand, can you please hold it up so I can see it?" Principal Celestia asked while pointing at the bath brush in your hand.

"Sure." You replied as you held up the brush so that Principal Celestia could see it.

Principal Celestia leaned her head in a bit to get a better glimpse of the brush in your hand. She then reacts with surprise upon realizing what you're holding.

"Hey, I think that's my bath brush you're holding." Principal Celestia stated while pointing at the brush.

As you now knew who the brush belonged to, you reacted with a wide-eyed expression while looking at Principal Celestia. And the next thing you knew, everyone in the gymnasium was looking at you with confusion about what was going on.

"Wha- Th-this is yours?!" You stuttered in a shouty voice while being caught off guard. "This brush belongs to you?!"

"Yes, it does." Principal Celestia replied with a nod. "And based on your humorous surprise of that fact, you clearly found it instead of stolen it."

"Y-yes, I did." You replied while still having a wide-eyed expression.

"Good." Principal Celestia said as she then held out her hand. "Can I please have that back now?"

"Y-yeah, sure!" You stuttered awkwardly as you stood up from the bleachers to walk over to the stage.

As you walk down the bleachers, you could hear students on the bleachers whispering to the people next to them about you having Principal Celestia's bath brush with you. Some of them were even giggling while looking at you, which causes you to sweat and blush as you were hoping that no one would be getting any misconceptions about why you have her brush, especially her sister for obvious reasons that nobody but you knows.

As you approached the stage where Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were standing, you handed the brush to Principal Celestia.

"Thank you, Anon." Principal Celestia said with a smile.

"You're welcome, Principal..." You replied but were then caught off guard again by looking at Vice Principal Luna, who was giving you a rather suspicious look. Which caused you to start feeling very anxious as you were sweating and trembling. "C-C-Celestia."

Vice Principal Luna continued to give you a suspicious look.

"If I may ask, where did you find this thing?" Vice Principal Luna asked while pointing to the brush in her sister's hand.

"I-I U-uh, f-found it in the p-pond y-yesterday." You stuttered while trying to keep your eyes on Principal Celestia instead of Vice Principal Luna.

"Th-the pond?!" Principal Celestia exclaimed while blushing. She then started chuckling nervously while still having a bright blush on her face. "W-well, I don't know how it ended up in there. Perhaps a burglar broke into my house and stole my brush and then threw it in that pond as a little prank."

Vice Principal Luna crossed her arms and shook her head while giving her sister a disapproving look, which means that she knew the reason why that bath brush was in that pond. Principal Celestia noticed her sister's look.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Principal Celestia asked while still looking bashful.

"No reason." Vice Principal Luna replied while rolling her eyes. She then looked back at you and a look of concerned instantly appeared on her face.

Principal Celestia noticed her sister's concerned reaction, and she then also turned her attention back to you. They both noticed that you were not only trembling and sweating, but also rapidly breathing.

"Young man, are you alright?" Vice Principal Luna asked in a worried tone.

"D-don't w-worry. I-I'm fine." You stuttered as you tried to take deep breaths to calm yourself down.

"You don't look fine. You look like you're having an anxiety attack!" Principal Celestia said as she sounded just as worried as her sister.

Upon hearing this, both Sunset and Twilight stood up and looked at you as you were clearly having an obvious anxiety attack. Sunset looked at Twilight with a determined face and then nodded to her. Twilight in response nodded while also having a determined look. They both then bolted off of the bleachers to rush to your aid.

"Anon, please tell us what's wrong!" Principal Celestia begged while sounding even more worried.

"I-I c-can't." You stuttered while still rapidly breathing.

You then felt two hands resting on your shoulders. You looked to your sides to see that those hands belonged to Sunset and Twilight, much to your relief.

"It's okay. We can take it from here." Twilight said to the two principals.

"Thanks, girls." Principal Celestia replied with a proud smile.

Both Sunset and Twilight nodded with a smile and response. They both then leaned in to you to ask you what's wrong.

"Anon, what's wrong?" Sunset asked.

"I-I c-can't tell you." You stuttered in a whisper.

"Anon, you have to tell us. Remember what I told you? People can't help you if you don't tell them what's wrong." Sunset said to you.

"I-I know. I-I j-just can't say it." You stuttered again.

"Is it something personal? Is that why you can't tell us?" Twilight asked.

"Y-yes." You replied.

"We won't tell anyone if that's the case. You have to tell us what's wrong so we can help you." Sunset said to you.

As Sunset reminded you of this important fact, you still didn't feel like telling her and Twilight about your fear of Vice Principal Luna because of how embarrassing it is. But, Sunset is right about how you need to tell people whenever you have a problem. Still, you didn't want Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna or anyone else in the gymnasium overhearing you three, so that left you with only one way to tell Sunset and Twilight what your problem is: Sunset needed to use her powers on you.

You held out your wrist to Sunset while giving her a worried expression to tell her that you still don't want to say what your problem is.

Sunset looked at your wrist and then looked back at you. She read the look on your face and realized that what your problem is might be too embarrassing to say out loud. She then smiled and gave you a nod, which told you that she will use her powers on you instead of having you talk to let her know what your problem is.

Sunset placed her hand onto your wrist, which caused her eyes to glow as she was now seeing into your mind.

Inside your mind, what Sunset was seeing were memories of you whenever you've made interactions with Vice Principal Luna. In those memories, Sunset was able to feel the amount of fear you have towards Vice Principal Luna, and two of those memories were of course this morning in the faculty parking lot and just a few moments ago when you were handing Principal Celestia's bath brush back to her. What Sunset saw after seeing those memories were then thoughts that rush through your mind whenever you see Vice Principal Luna. And those thoughts were you worrying that she would catch you breaking school rules and giving you detentions, and the thought of you sitting in her cold and dark office as stares at you with that scary glare of hers. It may not seem like much to anyone else, but it felt like a nightmare to you. To you, and pretty much only you, Vice Principal Luna is a scary woman and you wanted to do everything you can to not get on her bad side, and you also didn't want to tell anyone about your fear of her because you're afraid of becoming the biggest laughing stock at CHS.

After seeing that last thought, Sunset removed her hand from your wrist and her powers were no longer inactive.

After Sunset read your mind, you looked at her with a worried look again as you had this feeling that she'd probably laugh at the fact that you're afraid of Vice Principal Luna. But much to your surprise, she wasn't laughing at all. In fact, she was still looking at you with a concerned look. She then placed her hand back onto your shoulder, and she then let out a sigh while continuing to look concerned.

"Well? Do you know what the problem is, Sunset?" Principal Celestia asked Sunset.

"Uh, y-yeah. I think so." Sunset replied. "I think Anon is just worried about how the students are going to respond to this incident."

"Is that true, Anon?" Principal Celestia asked you.

You immediately nod upon being asked that since you didn't want anyone to know the real reason.

Principal Celestia looked back at her sister while still being worried about you, and Vice Principal Luna still felt as worried too. Principal Celestia then looked back at you with a serious face.

"Don't worry, Anon. I'll take care of this." Principal Celestia said as she held the microphone up to her face to make a quick statement to the students.

"Okay, students. Listen up." Principal Celestia says in a serious tone. "Anyone who subjects Anon Y. Mous to any form of harassment or humiliation for having my bath brush, or spreads rumors about this incident inside or outside of school will receive three weeks of detention."

All of the students reacted with nervousness upon receiving this warning from Principal Celestia.

Vice Principal Luna looked back at you again, and you tried your best to not look at her to keep your anxiety down. She looked at you with a sympathetic look and she then turned back to the students to also make a statement.

"And for anyone who disobeys this warning will not only get detention for three weeks, but we will also have Mr. Cranky Doodle give you extra trigonometry homework and have all that time in detention be based around him giving you long trigonometry lectures." Vice Principal Luna stated in an even more serious tone than her sister's.

"Yeah! Woohoo!" Mr. Cranky Doodle cheered while clicking his heels.

All of the students looked at Mr. Cranky Doodle with even more nervous looks, to the point where sweat was pouring down their faces.

Principal Celestia looked at Vice Principal Celestia with a smirk.

"Woah. Someone's not playing around." Principal Celestia said.

Vice Principal Luna winked at Principal Celestia and giggled a bit.

As you, Sunset, and Twilight walk about to your seats on the bleachers, you were met with students waving to you with nervous toothy smiles as it appears that the principals' warning worked.

The three of you sat back down and then both Sunset and Twilight hugged you while you took deep breaths to calm yourself down. As you took deep breaths, your eyes then wandered back to the front of the stage, which caused you to make eye contact with Vice Principal Luna again. This of course continued to make your anxiety get worse and Sunset noticed.

"Stop looking at her!" Sunset whispered in a serious tone. "Keep your eyes down!"

You put your head down while Sunset and Twilight continued to hug you and you took more deep breaths.

Principal Celestia watched you three with a warm smile, as she was proud of Sunset and Twilight for giving someone like you the support that you need.

Vice Principal Luna noticed you once again getting anxious from looking at her, which caused her to look down at the floor with a sad look on her face, and Principal Celestia noticed this.

"Are you alright, Luna?" Principal Celestia asked.

"Huh?' Vice Principal Luna answered as she looked back up. "Oh, I'm fine."

"Okay." Principal Celestia replied with a nod while looking a bit suspicious of her sister. She then held the microphone back up to her face to continue the assembly. "Anyway. So, the upcoming science fair will be at the end of the month..."

You were too busy trying to calm yourself down to pay attention to the rest assembly and avoid looking at Vice Principal Luna. So, you just kept your head down and waited until the assembly was over.


A few hours later after the assembly and a couple more classes, you were at your locker getting your stuff and were about to head home. As you shut your locker and were about to leave, you turned around to see your friends standing behind you. And just like they do when you're going through these anxious problems, they were seriously worried about you.

"Hey, girls." You greet them with a friendly smile. "What's up?"

Rarity then stepped forward and pulled you into a hug.

"Anon, I swear to goodness. Whenever I see you dealing with those dreadful anxiety issues, I just want hold you close to me and never let you go." Rarity said in a sad tone as she hugged you while patting you on the back.

"Yeah. Me, too." Pinkie also said in a sad tone as she too step forward and pulled you and Rarity into a hug.

"I really wish someone as kind and considerate like you didn't have to deal with that pain, Anon." Fluttershy said while sounding just as sad as Rarity and Pinkie.

"Me, too." You replied as pulled yourself from Rarity and Pinkie. "But, what can you do?"

Upon separating from the hug, Rarity and Pinkie got mad.

"Hey! Who said that the hug was over?!" Pinkie asked rhetorically in an angry tone as she and Rarity pulled you back into a hug.

"I'm fine right now, girls! Really!" You pleaded.

"Hush, darling!" Rarity replied as she made her embrace a bit tighter.

While the other girls were still just as worried as Rarity and Pinkie, they couldn't help but giggle a bit from this.

"You should feel lucky, Anon." Rainbow Dash chuckled while smirking. "Most boys your age would kill for something like this."

You couldn't help but blush a bit from Rainbow Dash's comment. You were then beginning to think you had enough hugs for one day, so you asked Rarity and Pinkie to let you go.

"Okay, Pinkie and Rarity. Please let me go now." You told Rarity and Pinkie.

"No!" They both shouted in a sad tone.

"Girls, let him go." Sunset demanded while giggling a bit.

"Fine." They both said as they separated from you while looking sad upon doing so.

You giggled a bit from those two being so stubborn. Sunset then stepped forward while also still giggling from Rarity and Pinkie's behavior.

"So, how are you feeling now?" Sunset asked.

"Like i said, I'm alright now." You replied with a smile, which then became a sad look. "But, I'm trying my hardest not to think back to that assembly. I really wish there was something to take my mind off it right now."

"Your wish has been granted, my uneasy audience member!" A voice said near you.

You and the girls turned to where that voice came from, and it came from the one and only Trixie Lulamoon.

"Trixie?" You asked.

"Yes. It is I, the grrreat and powerful Trrrixie!" Trixie replied with her usual introduction. "I saw you at the assembly, and my sympathy for you is of great power like yours truly. And I wish to perform a private magic act for you to help take your mind off of that horrible experience."

All of the girls smirked and raised curious eyebrows at Trixie, much to her confusion.

"What?" Trixie asked in an annoyed tone.

"You just don't want Principal Celestia to give you three weeks of trigonometry detention, right?" Twilight asked.

"No." Trixie replies while doing poorly at convincing the girls the opposite due to a suspicious tone and poor eye contact. "And so what if I didn't? Trigonometry is not one of my best skills, and anything that makes me look less great and powerful doesn't sit with me."

All of the girls start giggling as they were obviously not buying Trixie's fib, much to her embarrassment.

"Okay, fine. You're right." Trixie confessed while rolling her eyes.

"Well, go right ahead anyway, Trixie." You replied with a friendly smile. "It might not totally take my mind off the assembly, but I don't mind a bit of entertainment."

"Excellent!" Trixie said with excitement as her pupils dilated. "Trixie always appreciates a willing audience member!" She then gives the girls a frown "And she also appreciates one that sets a good example for a group of naysayers."

The girls all look at Trixie with unamused looks.

"Just get on with the magic act, Trixie." Rainbow Dash said while rolling her eyes. "We've all got somewhere to be."

"As you wish." Trixie replied while still wearing a frown. She then pulls out a black top hat from behind her back along with a black magic wand. She then looks at you with a smile. "And now, the grrreat and powerful Trrrixie's magic trick for you will be the old-fashioned pull a rabbit out of a hat trick."

"You can really do that?" You asked in curious voice.

"Why, of course." Trixie replied with a nod. "I've done it before to help Fluttershy find her pet rabbit."

"Oh, yeah. I remember that." Fluttershy said while thinking back to that moment.

"So do I!" Pinkie replied in a happy tone. "It was when we were at the mall that one time. And for some reason, everything lacked color and we were all singing even though we weren't moving our mouths."

You all looked at Pinkie with confusion about what she was talking about.

"But, anyway. Go on, Trixie! I want to see this rabbit!" Pinkie said while looking at Trixie with excitement for her trick.

"Uh, sure." Trixie replied in a confused tone. She then looks back at you with a smile and continues her act. "Okay. Now pay attention, my anxious witnesser."

Trixie flips her black top hat right side up and taps the top of the hat with magic wand. She then flips back upside down.

"Now, once I say the magic words, I will reach into this hat and pull out a rabbit." Trixie stated as she clears her throat to say the magic words. "Abraca-Trixie-dabra. A-Lula-kazam. Ala peanut butter crackers! Make a rabbit come to the great and powerful Trixie!" Trixie then reaches into her hat to pull out a rabbit.

You and the girls watch in suspense as Trixie just put her hand into the hat.

"And now, my jittery spectator." Trixie says to you. "Be amazed as I, the grrreat and powerful Trrrixie, presents to you with your very own eyes..." Trixie then quickly pulls her hand out of her hat while closing her eyes. "A RABBIT!"

You and the girls looked at what Trixie pulled out of her hat. And much to your confusion, it wasn't a rabbit.

"Uh, Trixie? That's not a rabbit." Sunset said.

"What?" Trixie replies as she opens her eyes. She then chuckles as if Sunset was messing with her. "Yeah, right, Sunset. Of course it's a..." She then looked at what she actually pulled out of her hat, and her face then fell upon seeing her error. "Skirt."

You all then heard a very loud scream that sounded like it came from a distance inside the school. You all went wide-eyed upon hearing that scream.

"Something tells me that skirt didn't come from the Lost and Found." Pinkie said as she looks at where the scream came from with a curious eyebrow.

You all then looked back at whose skirt Trixie was holding. You all examined the skirt. It was a light orchid colored skirt with a violet treble clef on it.

Rarity went wide-eyed again upon realizing who the skirt belonged to. She then turned around again and immediately reacted with a terrified look upon seeing that the skirt owner was walking towards them.

"Uh, darlings? We should probably get out of the way." Rarity said in a fearful tone as she stepped out of the way.

You and the other girls except Trixie looked back at the direction where the scream came from, and you all then stepped aside also while also looking as fearful as Rarity.

"What's going on? Why are all of you up against the lockers?" Trixie asked you all. She then turns her head forward upon hearing a loud angry growl. Her eyes went wide again upon seeing who was in front of her. The angry person who Trixie was looking at was Octavia Melody.

"Uh, heh, h-hi, O-Octavia." Trixie chuckled nervously with sweat pouring down her face.

Octavia stared at Trixie with a furious look and a red face with steam coming out of her head, and she was clenching her fists in anger while holding her cello in her left hand.

You all looked down at Octavia and noticed that she had a jacket around her waist to cover up her embarrassment. You all then looked back up at her and noticed that her best friend Vinyl Scratch, also known by her disc jockey stage name DJ Pon-3 which she prefers to be addressed as, was with her. And from the looks of her not wearing her usual jacket, she lended it to Octavia for obvious reasons. Luckily, she wears a tank top under her jacket.

Octavia walked towards Trixie while still looking as angry as ever. Trixie stepped back in while looking even more fearful.

I-I'm s-sorry, Octavia!" I was trying to make a rabbit come out of my hat! Not your skirt!" Trixie apologized in a panicking tone. She then holds the skirt up for Octavia to take back. "Here! You can have it back!"

Octavia grabbed the skirt out of Trixie's hand while staring at Trixie in the eyes with a pretty terrifying angry face that would give someone nightmares. She then looks past Trixie and then says something.

"Hey, is that a peanut butter cracker salesman?" Octavia asks casually.

"Where?!" Trixie asks with excitement as turns around with dilated eyes. Her excited face then vanished upon seeing nobody behind her. She then turned back around to look at Octavia. "Uh, there was no..."

Suddenly, Octavia clobbered Trixie in the head with her cello, which caused it to snap right in half and knock Trixie to the floor in intense pain.

You and the girls reacted in fear and shock as you saw Octavia hit Trixie with her cello. The only one who wasn't scared was DJ Pon-3, who was bopping her head while flicking her tongue up and down and making a sign of the horns hand gesture.

Octavia then threw the half of her cello she had in her hand onto the floor in anger and then she and Dj Pon-3 walked away, leaving you and the girls looking at Trixie who was still lying on the floor.

"You okay, Trixie?" You asked in a worried tone.

Trixie then gets up off the floor while looking at you with a goofy face that was caused from being hit on the head.

"Why, Trixie is just peachy!" Trixie answered while speaking in a very silly voice. "I may not have made a rabbit appear in my hat, but at least I made something appear in there!" She then tips forward like she she's going to fall to the floor again. "Well, that's it for another one Trixie's great and powerful magic tricks! Good night, everybody!" Trixie then falls to the floor as she was now out cold.

You and the girls stared at Trixie as laid on the floor unconscious with weirded out reactions. You then looked up at the girls.

"Should we carry her to the nurse?" You asked them.

"Yeah, we definitely should." Sunset replied.

You all then carried Trixie to the nurse. What just happened may have been bizarre for all of you, but on the bright side, at least it took your mind off of the assembly.
