Glancing behind himself, he barely caught a glimpse of his two pursuers as they rounded a corner after him. >They were far behind; track paid off. Facing forward again, he runs across the street and into a park. >Making his way to the restroom building, he stops and quickly looks around. >The cost is clear. With that done, he hides himself away in the ladies' restroom. >Taking a moment to catch his breath, Flash slumps over in a stall. >He didn't understand what was going on. Where was everyone else? >And why was he being chased? Least of all by those two? >They had always been like sisters to him. Crazy and oddly affectionate sisters. >And now something is wrong with them. >"Flash?" >His eyes shoot open. They sound close. >"Flashy? Where are you?" Lyra's voice sings from outside, a tone similar to a mother playing hide-and-seek with her child. >He starts to panic, heart pounding in his chest as another voice sounds from outside. >"What are you running for? We only want to talk to you for a little while." >Bon Bon. Her eerie tone betrayed her words. >"He gave us the slip..." Lyra sighs. >"Mm. Oh, well. You know Flash; he'll slip up eventually." >They share a laugh and it sounds like they're about to leave. >"Ooh. Wait a minute. Gotta drain some clam juice." >Flash could practically hear Bon Bon's nose crinkle and her face contort into a sneer. "That's disgusting." >He almost laughed until he heard footsteps. Dime Store Models >Norman eyes Chloe suspiciously, her hands rubbing together as she smiles. "What do you want?" >"Well, the girls at the art club commissioned me to gather up some help." >Nolan sighs before taking a sip from his tea cup, his gaze falling upon Norman's cousin for a moment before shifting to Flash. >The rocker shrugs his shoulders. 'Let's hear her out.' >Nolan rolls his eyes. 'As if that is a good idea.' >Norman looks at the two; Flash nods at him and Nolan simply stares at his tea. "What sort of help?" >Chloe's eyes shine, a dangerous glint hidden behind a chipper smile. >"Ah, they just need some guys to model for them. No big deal." >Nolan speaks up, perplexed. "That's it?" >"Yep." >"And they /paid/ you for this?" >"Yep. Not in money, Mister Dolla Dolla. So, don't throw a fit." >Nolan scoffs. "Then, what'd they pay you?" >She smiles mischievously. "Let's just say, I've got some story ideas they're going to pencil out." >"Why us?" >"Good question, Flash! They wanted the most attractive guys and I've got pretty good taste, so I chose you three." >The boys exchange looks and self-satisfied smirks. >'GOT 'EM!' >And so they agreed. Chloe leads them to the art room and opens the door. >"Gentlemen." They walk past her and she closes the door before leaving. >15 or so girls are there, with Patricia Melody being the only one who they could put a face to. >She speaks up, pointing to the center of the room where a circle of drawing desks are. >"Stand there and pose." >They do so and the girls draw them in silence. >"Flash?" >He looks at one of them. "Can you take your jacket off? I can't get a feel for your curves." >"Ah. Ok." He takes his jacket off. The girl licks her lips. >"You, too, Norman." "Uh." >"Lose the shirt, Nolan!" >"Excuse me?!" >The girls start getting rowdy, demanding more clothes be removed. >Norman gets a sinking feeling. >Three attractive young men surrounded by faceless, demanding women. >He knew where this was going. King of Fighters >Outside the home of one Norman Normal are two young men: >The aforementioned Norman and his friend, Flash Sentry. >Currently, they are practicing some of their fighting techniques on the driveway to a song playing from the garage. >They exchange several kicks and punches before back-flipping away. >"Ok," Flash breathes,"I think we got the timing down." >Norman does a stretch before wiping at the sweat trickling down his brow. >"We'll qualify for sure," he says, grinning at Flash. >"Yeah! Can't rest on our laurels, though." >He looks to a poster hanging in the garage. >On it is a picture of several world-renowned fighters, one being Shining Armor: Canterlot's homegrown champion. >[Steel your hearts and set the skies ablaze! Join the King of Fighters tournament!] >"Not if we want to be like Captain Armor and the Royal Guard." "And you think you can reach their level?" >Flash spins around, Norman's attention already on the newcomer: a redhead decked in some upper-class workout apparel. >"And you are?" >The youth smiles. "Nolan North. And you two must be the infamous no-talent rookies." >"ARA?!" Norman looks to Flash, pointing an accusing finger at Nolan. "You hear that, Flash-senpai?" >"I heard it, Norman." Flash takes a step towards Nolan, eyes narrowed. "What do you want?" >Nolan smiles; Flash tenses. "What I want..." >He takes a fighting stance. "...is to test my abilities." >Flash smirks, arms crossing. Norman chuckles and heads into the garage. >"This calls for some appropriate music." >Reaching for the stereo, he pushes a button: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOAj4zAUZNE >Flash and Nolan just stare at him. Frantically, he switches to another song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piJQHjmxcHw >Much better. >"I'll take you on first," Flash says, stretching. Nolan shakes his head. "No need. 1 on 2 is fine." >Flash scoffs. "You'll regret that." >Nolan smiles. "I doubt it." The Worst P1 >... >It was about 6:30pm when Flash Sentry and his camaro pulled into Twilight Sparkle's driveway. >He looks up, the windshield a bit distorted from the light drizzle of rain, and spots a light on. >Recognizing it as coming from Twilight's room, he smiles and steps out of his car. >Foregoing his usual attire, Flash was decked in black slacks and shoes, and wore a dark blue jacket with his lightning and shield crest on its back. >Beneath the jacket, he wore a simple, white button-up shirt. >Perfect for theater-wear. >Stepping onto the porch, Flash gives the doorbell two rings. >Seconds pass by... and nothing happens. >He frowns before ringing the doorbell twice more. He hears a noise to his left. >His attention snapping, he looks over the bushes before stepping back and looking up at Twilight's window. >Barely, he could make out a shadow being cast on the blinds. >He squints, but can't see into the room from where he stood. >Click! >His attention turning back to the door, Flash quickly combs through his hair and straightens his posture. >Smiling, he waits for the door to open. >Seconds pass by... He frowns and slowly reaches for the door. >As he twists and pushes at the knob, it opens. "Twilight?" >He looks about the living room. There's a lamp on, providing just enough light to see. >But every other light is out. "Twilight? You, uh, ready to go?" >He steps into the house, letting the door close behind him. >Several taps sound from above him. >Heading towards the stairs, he flips on the lights and ascends. >He pauses for a moment as her hears humming. "Twilight?" >The humming stops. He takes another step up, and the stair lights suddenly turn off. >Tensing up for a moment, his grip on the guardrail tightening, Flash takes in a deep breath. "Very funny, Twilight." >He chuckles. Or at least tries. It comes out more as nervous coughing. >With the lights off, he could barely make out a faint glow from around the corner. P2 >Completing his ascension, Flash sees that the glow is coming from Twilight's room, her door slightly ajar. "Twilight. C-come on. We gotta go." >He says as he draws closer to her room. >No response. He reaches for the door. >The humming resumes. >He gives it two knocks. "Are you decent, Twilight?" >He hears a husky chuckle. "Better than decent." >Feeling a bit more at ease, he opens the door. >But no one is there. Confused, he steps further into the room. >The door slams behind him. >He spins around only to be thrown across the room, his back slamming into the window sill. >Reeling from the pain, his eyes slam shut as he barely manages to stay standing, using the sill as support. >His breath hitches as he feels something soft caress his face. The pain dulling, his eyes open and he sees her. >Wild hair, dark purple skin, and eyes shining with a light-blue hue. >"I'm fantastic!" >He feels the touch again, his eyes drawn to the black wings extending from her back. >Glancing to his left, he sees the right one is stroking his cheek. >"Flashy..." The wing slithers behind his head before it forces him to look 'Twilight' in the eyes. >"Do you," she whispers, eyes half-lidding as her lips curl into a dangerous smirk, "like my new look?" >She pulls away and does a pose, her wing wrapping around Flash. >His heart beating fast, uncertain and fearful of her intentions, he looks her over. >She wore a strapless dress, its colors matching her hair's, that hung rather low on her chest. >He couldn't help but let his eyes linger at the base of her neck, his face flushing despite himself. >The wing tightened a bit, snapping him out of his gaze and his eyes drift lower. >Until... >He lets out a bloodcurdling scream; 'Twilight' responds with a cruel laugh. >He saw them. >Bright. Green. Ugg boots! "WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSSE?!?" >... >Everyone stares at Rarity. >Her eyes dart around, a faltering smile on her face. "Ahem. Well, would anyone else care to share a story?" END Balanced Breakfast P1 >[Ding! Ding!] >With a yawn, Flash makes his way to the front door of his home, early morning lethargy causing his feet to drag. >[Dingdingdingdingding!] >Grimacing, he shakes his head and opens the door. "Morning, Sunset Shimmer." >She frowns at him, arms crossed and foot tapping the ground loudly. >"What took you so long," she growls, pushing past him, "Do you know what day it is?" >"One of the ones ending in 'y'?" >She spins around, fire ready to spill from her mouth. >Before she can get a shot of, though, Flash raises one of his hands. "Yes, Sunset. I remember. You reminded me a /million/ times this week." >The fire dissipates. She looks him over, eyes lingering on his hamster themed pajama bottoms. >"You're not even dressed." "That's my line. You said we should go at 8. It's 6." >"/Be there/ at 8!" "The /point/ is that I thought I had some time before you showed up." >She stares at him. "Well, we're leaving at 7." >His eyes widen in disbelief. "Why???" >"To beat the lines." 'This is insane.' "Sunset Shimmer, there's no point in doing that! You already paid for the clothes-" >"I'm not waiting all day just to get them, Flash!" >He opens his mouth to speak, but a thought dawns on him. >She knows what he's going to say; that expectant look in her eyes tells him as much. >"Well," she asks, nonchalantly looking over her nails, "I'm waiting." >Sighing, he runs a hand through his hair. "I'll wait for you." >Smiling, Sunset steps towards him, planting a kiss on his cheek. "Good boy! Now, get dressed." >Grumbling, Flash begins to make his way upstairs. "I'm gonna take a shower. Stay down here. My folks are upstairs and I don't want you getting into a fight with my mom again." >"It's not my fault she wants to pick on me despite the fact I haven't done anything wrong." >Flash shakes his head. "I'll be back in a few minutes." P2 >"20 minutes is not 'a few,' Flash," Sunset says, eyes narrowing on Flash as he descended the stairs. >Sans his jacket, he was dressed in his usual attire and looking a bit more awake now. >Ignoring her, he heads into the kitchen and starts to fix up his breakfast: >A glass of orange juice, scrambled eggs, a bagel with cream cheese, and a bowl of cereal. >As he does this, he can feel Sunset staring at him. With a sigh, he turns around. >As expected, she is staring (peeking) at him from around a corner. "Would you like some?" >"No," she sneers before walking over to the living room couch and plopping down on it.. >He decides to make her a plate anyways. >6:40 rolls around and Flash sets the near complete set of food and drinks on the kitchen table. >The last items on the list are the cereal. He pours Sunset a bowl of Frosted Flakes. >But for himself, he pours out the last bits of Fruity Dyno-Bites: marshmellowy, sugary goodness. >Taking a seat, he begins eating. Sunset joins him not long after, grumbling about how she didn't want anything. >Other than that, they eat in relative silence. >"It's almost 7." >He glances at her. Her plate is clear. "We're not leaving until I finish my cereal." >She stares at him. He expected more of a fight. >Shrugging his shoulders, he pours the milk in and begins eating. >"Flashy..." >His ears perk up. Sunset rarely cooed at him. "Yeah?" >She looks at him, eyes half-lidded with a smile on her face. "Let me have some." "...My /cereal/?" >She nods. "No." >The smile disappears. "Come on! Don't be greedy." "You already ate yours." >"I just want a taste, Flash. It's not going to kill you." >He grimaces, but begrudgingly relents. "One bite." P3 >She smiles before snatching the bowl away. >"Hello there," she says, staring at the cereal. "Mm. Don't you look nice." >He raises an eyebrow; she glances at him, a dark smile on her face. >"Oh, Flash? He let me have you," she whispers, "Said I could taste as much of you as I wanted." "What are you...?" >"And I intend to do just that!" >She violently stabs her spoon into the bowl's depths, a bit of milk splashing out, and scoops out the crisp, yet moist, flakes of sugary goodness. >And then she EATS THEM! >"Mmm!" She looks to Flash, chewing in an exaggerated manner, "MMMM!" "Sunset." >He didn't like where this was going. >She swallows audibly, smacking her lips. >"Mm. Oh, what was Flash thinking passing up on you? I can't have just /one/ bite." >Glancing at Flash again, her sinister smile returns, "I have to have the whole thing." 'No...' >She dives in again, taking another scoop and chowing down on it as well. "Stop!" >He reaches for the bowl. She glares at him. "Or what? Just sit there and watch, Flash." >Turning her attention back to the bowl, her smile returns. "I'm trying to enjoy my meal." >With clenched fists, he watched the violent scooping. >Through gritted teeth, he listened to the rhythmic crunching noises and moans. >And through misty eyes, he watched as Sunset made a mess of the table which he'd have to clean up later. >"Mm... Sho good..." Sunset groans as she finishes up, bathing in the afterglow of her binge. >Taking a napkin, she wipes her face and stands up. "Cereal's finished; breakfast is over; let's go now." >Flash just stares at the empty bowl. She rolls her eyes. "I left you some, you big baby. Hurry up, I'll be waiting outside." >As she leaves, Flash pulls the bowl closer. With a grimace, he takes note of the state of the bowl's contents. 'Barely enough for one scoop...' >He gets up and pours it into the sink, washing it down the drain. He wasn't going to have her dirty leftovers. 'You won't get away with this, Shimmer!' END Horse-women >"Sunset Shimmer, how old are you?" >She just stares at Flash, eyes wide and mouth agape as a bead of sweat trickles down her face. "Wh-why do you want to know?" >He shrugs his shoulders, a naive, curious look on his face. >So boyish~ >"Well, I've given you a birthday present before, but I don't remember ever being told how old you are. So, I just want to know a little more about my girlfriend." >Sunset silently curses to herself, but her mood calms the moment an "out" pops into her head. >Folding her arms and putting on a stern face, she lets out a confident scoff. "Flash, don't you know it's rude to ask a woman her age?" >He stares at her, a deadpan look on his face, before rolling his eyes. >'We're in high school and she's already worried about her age? Girls are weird...' >"Yes, ma'am." "Mmf..." >She bites her lip, his mocking slightly backfiring on him. >Suddenly, a thought crosses her mind. >Now that he brought it up, she wondered... "How old are /you/?" >"Uh, 17." >Her pony instincts kick in. >She breathes hard, nostrils flaring as she turns away from him. 'B-barely legal!' >Covering her mouth, she tries to calm herself, her tongue flicking across her lips. >A curious look on his face, Flash watches her, oblivious to her dark intentions. Chloe is Passion P1 >Norman stared at the door leading to Chloe's room, the faint sound of music slipping through it. >It is a simple, violin heavy melody from what he can tell. 'Probably from some anime...' >Cringing a bit, he reaches out for the door, his fist balled. >Knock, knock. "Chloe? Uh, Mom brought some pizza." >He waits for a moment. No response, save for the music. "It's pretty fresh." >He knocks again. No response. She got like this sometimes. >He still couldn't help but worry. >Cooping up in a room for most of the day doing nothing but weeb stuff isn't healthy. >She's probably Gatorade deprived >Shivering, he knocks again. "Chloe, c'mon." >"...Enter." >A bit startled by the voice. Norman stares at the door for a moment before complying. >Bracing himself for the scent of ramen and sweaty fujoshi, he takes a deep breath and opens the door. >To his surprise he finds the room distinctly devoid of sweaty smells. >Not ramen, though, but whatever. >Chloe spares him a glance, eyes briefly looking to him from the sketchpad she holds, before she goes back to drawing. >If the drawings scattered about her room are any indication, he guesses that she's drawing another butterfly. >He moves to her dresser, picking up some of the drawings, and looks them over. >They are of a butterfly, penciled out from various angles. >The dark gray sketches against the off-color white of the paper are heavily contrasted by the scarlet coloring she used on the wings. >The gradient shading seemed to pop out underneath the ceiling light, the butterfly's wings shining as they are captured in mid-flutter, specks of red pollen gently falling away like little stars. >Norman was mesmerized, flipping through several other sketches she had scattered about her room. "Wow..." >He'd never really paid much mind to her skill as an artist. Mostly because most of her art called his sexuality into question. >But, he couldn't help but smile at the simplistic, pure beauty he saw. P2 >"I was on a walk with Fluttershy yesterday..." >He looks to her, snapping out of his trance. >"And I saw this beautiful little butterfly... It just wouldn't leave my mind." >He looks to her nightstand, a half-empty bottle of Gatorade sitting atop it. >The source of the problem found, and his fears assuaged, Norman nods at her. "A good thing, too.These are really good, Chloe." >He smiles at her; her face reddens at bit. >"Thanks... It's nice to hear some praise from you instead of the usual..." >Her eyes go wide, pupils shrinking to pinpricks as she lets out a throaty noise. >"Blaaaarrrgghhh!!! Get it away from me!" >Embarrassed by his previous behavior and her /somewhat/ accurate impression, Norman pulls his beanie over his eyes. "Uh, yeah... sorry." >Setting her sketch down, she stretches a bit as a smile spreads across her face. >"I got it out of my system now, though. So, I can get back to my real work." >He raises an eyebrow. "That being?" >Her smile widens a bit and she grabs her sketch, flipping it over so Norman could get a good look at it. >His eyes widen as, to his surprise, the butterfly slowly peels off the page. >Eventually freed from its binds, it flutters towards him, the red pollen wafting off its wings as it held a piece of paper in its tiny 'hands.' >Dumbfounded, Norman just watches as the creature draws near, his mouth hanging open. >It reaches and extends the paper towards him, giving him a wink as he takes it before fading out of existence. >Still in awe, Norman has to force himself to look at the paper. >Two simple words, written in scarlet, adorn it: >[Shounen Ai] >He shoots Chloe the dirtiest look he can manage. >She just smiles. END Letting Go P1 >Flash and Nolan watched as "he" sits there, mumbling in front of his computer screen. >"It's dead... let it die." >Nolan sneers and takes a step forward, stopping as he feels Flash's hand on his shoulder. >Flash shakes his head. "This needs to be done. I grow tired of this nonsense." >Flash just sighs, eyes shining with sympathy. "Just... go easy on him." >Nolan glances over his shoulder at the mumbling creature, his sneer returning. "Hmm! No promises." >Flash lets go and Nolan approaches the creature, his sneer fading into a more neutral look. >"Dead..." >Nolan pauses for a moment, his eyes drawn to a yellow shape on the floor. >Squinting he sees that it's one of those rubber chickens. He picks it up and bends it a bit, wondering if- >[loud chicken noise] >Yep, it's one of those gag chickens. >Holding on to it, he finally approaches the creature. >"Just die... please!" >Nolan looks at the computer screen, his sneer returning in full force once he sees its content: >A thread on that rice farmer owned korean basketweaving forum. >"DEAD!" >Surprisingly, Nolan gently grips the creature's shoulder. "Listen, (You), stop this nonsense." >The creature doesn't spare him a glance, too entranced by the screen. >"B-but-" "Yes, yes, it's 'dead.' Whatever. Look, you need to stop this. If you refuse to do anything actually constructive, then just move on." P2 >The creature has a dumbfounded look on its face, almost as though it is actually thinking for the first time. >"Move... on? But... the ride!" >Nolan sighs, a tired yet sympathetic one. "This 'ride' you speak of is nonsense. It is a cage you have constructed for yourself." >Nolan reaches for the hard drive. "The door is open and all you need to do..." >He presses the power button, the screen dimming to darkness. "...is give it a little push." >Nolan pats the creature's shoulder and pulls away, turning to leave. "Let's go, (You)." >And then he hears the computer whir up, lighting up the room again. >"M-muh lewds doe..." >Nolan's teeth clench. Flash tries to get on top of this. >"Nolan-" >Too late. Nolan swings around, lashing out with the chicken. >[Ba-KAAAAAAAAAWWWW] it screeches as it connects with the creature's head, sending him tumbling to the ground. >Climbing on top of the creature's back, Nolan starts choking his chicken- >I mean, choking it with the chicken. >"Nolan, stop!" >Flash pulls Nolan away, the Saint panting heavily as he glares down at the creature's unconscious body. >Regaining his composure, Nolan dusts himself off. "We're done here. Norman can come and deal with this troglodyte himself." >And with that, he and Flash make their exit. END Notice Me P1 >Norman lets out a sigh as he walks down the street, the cold night air nipping at his face and bare head. >He had been hanging out at Nolan's house when he received a text. >[I found your hat. Meet me down the street. The corner near the barber shop.] >That was all it took to get him going. >He'd been looking for that thing ever since P.E. when he left it on the bleachers for a bit. >It's a good thing someone found it. >He frowns, his pace slowing to a halt as he takes out his phone. >Looking at the text, he noticed that the sender was unknown. 'Weird.' >Suddenly, he hears the light tapping of footsteps behind him. >Glancing over his shoulder, he sees no one there. Just darkness. >He continues to the corner, the lamppost at the end shining brightly. >The footsteps resume. >This time, he keeps walking, his heart pounding in his chest. >"Norman." >He freezes for a moment, the footsteps halting as well. >Slowly, he turns around, just enough so he could see who was behind him: >Nothing. Save a pair of eyes, pupils like slits, floating in the darkness. >And then he ran. He ran so far away. >The creature gave chase, calling his name and telling him to stop as he draws closer to the lamppost. >He could barely hear the voice over a shrill, sustained scream. >He wondered who could be screaming at a time like this. >Certainly not him, that's for sure. >He eventually reaches the light, basking in its glory as though it would protect him from the creature. >"Norman?" >A futile hope brought on by playing too many video games. >This American Nightmare is real and there is no escape. >Accepting his death, Norman turns to face the creature. >Only to see a familiar girl in its place. >"Um, hello, Mr. Norman." >It's Vice-Principal Luna's daughter, her lust given form. Or something. >Norman sorta zoned out on the explanation. P2 >His eyes widen in disbelief for a moment, dimming to relief as he lets out a sigh to match. "Oh, it's just you, Nig." >"Nyx." "Right. Sorry..." >His eyes narrow in confusion. "Wait, why were you trying to kill me?" >She lets out a giggle before rolling her eyes. >"I wasn't trying to kill you, silly." >She reaches into her jacket pocket, obviously reaching for her piece. >Norman raises his hands. "Don't shoot!" >Instead of a 9, she pulls out his beanie. >"I was trying to give you this." >She hands him his precious hat, watching with a smile as he happily puts it on. >Reunited and it feels so good. >"I would have given it to you sooner, but you ran off screaming when you saw me." >He rubs the back of his neck, a bashful smile on his face. "I thought you were, uh, something else." >Her brows furrow as she tilts her head in confusion. >"Something? You looked right at me." >Getting a bit defensive, Norman puffs himself up. "W-well you people sorta just blend into the darkness." >'Ah, Mr. Norman's racial prejudice caused his imagination to overreact...' >She gives him a smile, kind and understanding. >"I see. No harm done." >He smiles back, patting her on the shoulder. >Out of all the students at CHS, she's one of the few that treats him with respect. "You're one of the good ones, Black." >She blushes. "Um, thank you." >He nods before pulling his hand away. "But, uh, how'd you get my number?" >"...Excuse me?" "The text. Did Chloe or someone give you my number?" >"Well, she told me where to find you... but, I didn't send you any text." >Feeling a chill run down his spine, Norman looks around, his words coming out in a nervous jumble. "Then who was phone?" >He hears footsteps. "We gotta go! Fas-" >But it was too late. >Chloe jumps out at them. >"BOO!" >The shrill scream from before, its source still unknown to Norman, returns in full force. END
