Zephyr Breeze: The Most Anxious Friendship Ever
Chapter 2: Chapter 2: An Uncertain Morning
Previous Chapter Next ChapterYou 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.
