บท 62: Chapter 61 - Diamond has it Rough
Micro collapsed in his seat for science next to Scootaloo.
"Sooo," She said with a slight grin. "How was gym class with the Succubus?"
He turned and shot a small glare at his girlfriend before sighing.
"I had to keep Gamer's Mind up at all times. It is ridiculous! I don't know what the heck her plan is but it's getting annoying."
"Well at least you don't have to worry about this class," Scootaloo leaned against him. "We are already partners."
"Yeah, though I feel bad for Silver." Micro looked over and saw silver pretending to ignore Diamond. Suddenly, a small grin cracked his face. "Maybe I can use her plan against her though."
Following his lead, Scootaloo joined him in switching spots with the group closest to the two former friends. Micro say furthest away, but was still close enough to prevent Diamond from "putting her plan at risk" by belittling Silver.
It was good to be smart sometimes.
"So are we still on for tonight?" Scootaloo asked Silver. Silver smiled and nodded.
"What are you girls doing tonight?" Micro asked, ignoring the bedroom eyes from Diamond.
"Chara asked us if we wanted to have a girls night out," Silver blushed. She wasn't exactly sure what would be happening or discussed considering she would be with Micro's two girlfriends, but still.
"Who's Chara?" Diamond asked. The group turned to her and Micro was the only one with a look that didn't say 'none of your damn business.'
"A friend from outside school," Micro said simply. "Glad you all are going to hang out. That reminds me Sil, you still want to hand out tomorrow after school?"
Silver turned beet red.
"O...of course!" Silver stammered. Diamond looked pissed off.
'Now she can get a date with him?! I wouldn't be in this mess if she was this competent before!'
"Great! Can't wait!" Silver smiled as Scootaloo mock glared at her, but she could tell there was no venom behind it.
'Why the hell is Scootaloser ok with this!' Diamond fumed. 'This will be the second date that he's gone on with someone else since they got together!'
The rest of the class was spent on their projects, occasionally throwing in offhand comments about their plans. Diamond was more or less left out of the conversations.
Before long, the class ended and the group of friends left Diamond to grumble to herself.
"So," Micro started. "What's everyone's plan for tonight. I have magic lessons, Scoots and Silver are hanging out with Chara."
"Apple Bloom wanted a bit of help with farming so I was heading over to Sweet Apple Acres with her," Sugar said. Apple Bloom smiled and hugged her boyfriend, though she playfully glared at him.
"No staring at my sister though." Sugar blushed. The first time he visited, Applejack had been wearing a flannel shirt tied up like a bikini top (cause it was so hot out) and he couldn't help but watch her most of the time.
"Well...I was maybe…" Sweetie started softly.
"I was probably going to get together with Ember," Spike said. "We have a lot of catching up to do."
The rest of the group gave Sweetie a sympathetic look as she looked like she was about to scream in frustration.
"Well then," Micro said smiling. "I just have one thing to ask you all before we split up. After yesterday, I was wondering if you all wanted some way of defending yourself."
"What do you mean?" Silver asked.
"Well, I got Scootaloo her outfit and Kama to let her protect herself, so I was curious if you all wanted something like that?"
"You mean we can all become badasses like Scoots!?" Apple Bloom was a glow with joy. Sugar chuckled at his girlfriend's antics.
"Wait a minute," Sweetie said. "Won't this just drag us further into your battle?"
She looked at Micro nervously, and he could see the trepidation in her eyes. Whether it was because of him, or the idea of running into other people like the Diamond Dogs or Kamoshida, he had no clue.
"I sadly think it's too late to avoid that," he said solemnly. "If Kamoshida was truly working for a mastermind in the shadows and they were watching us yesterday (which they had to be to know when to execute Kamoshida) then they already know we are all friends."
"And he can choose to target us," Apple Bloom said. Micro nodded.
"That's why I want to make sure you all are protected. I have access to material and weapons that can help, so if any of you think of anything that you might want to use, or a fighting style you think would work for you, let me know."
A screen popped up in front of Sweetie, Silver, and Apple Bloom.
"Hit yes to joining the party and we can stay in contact. It's how Scootaloo alerted us yesterday."
Realizing that that fact alone probably saved their lives, the three girls agreed.
"Well, I'll see you all tomorrow." With that, Micro headed off toward his lessons with Sunset and Twilight. His friends watched him go, realizing just how strongly he wanted to keep them safe.
With Diamond Outside
"What do the pheromones didn't work!?"
Diamond held the cell phone away from her ear as her mother screamed. It's not her damn fault they had no effect!
"I mean they didn't work! He was slightly dazed at first but then he seemed completely immune to it!"
On the other end of the line, Spoiled growled. How could this be? A succubus' pheromones should make almost anyone fall in…
"Damn it! Fucking mental defenses!"
"What?" Diamond questioned. What the heck did her mom mean by mental defenses?
Spoiled pinched the bridge of her nose. She couldn't reveal everything to Diamond, otherwise she would have to explain about her master.
"The damn brat must have mental defenses. You'll have to catch him off guard."
"And how am I supposed to do that?!" Diamond shrieked.
"I told you the damn powers our bloodline has! Figure it out yourself or else become a street walker since a whore won't have a place in this house!"
Diamond heard the phone disconnect and growled in frustration, throwing her phone against the wall. She leaned against the side of the school and slid down to the ground, knees to her chest and face buried in her arms.
'How could she treat me like this? I didn't even ask for this...this curse!'
Tears started leaking from her eyes as images flashed through her mind of what she might have to do if she failed.
"Diamond?" A voice said.
Tiara looked up and saw Spike looking down at her concerned.
"What's-"
"None of your damn business!" Diamond shrieked at him as she shot up and stomped away. She thought as she left. 'Probably only paid me any mind because of the pheromones…'
As she marched off, she failed to notice Spike looking after her. Little did she realize, she had stopped pushing out the pheromones after science.
