Cherry and Atticus's Tales from Canterlot High

chapter 3

Drell was outside of the school while the others came.

"Drell, what's going on?" Cherry asked.

"I tried to stop him..." Drell shook slightly. "BUT HE WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME!"

"Which way did he go?!" Cherry asked while being shook.

"He went in the school, I think he went in the gym, but I'm not sure!" Drell said anxiously himself.

"We'll just have to follow the trail of crystal spikes." Cherry said.

"Please go inside," Drell replied. "I am not going in there. I haven't been this nervous since Grammi Gummi hit me with her rolling pin for tasting her freshly baked pie without permission."

"Grammi Gummi?" Cherry asked.

"Please don't make me tell you about that right now," Drell replied. "Just get Atticus before he hurts someone."

The group continued to follow the trail of crystal spikes.

"Man, these things are sharper than Cherry's sarcasm." Mo commented.

"Thanks, Mo." Cherry deadpanned.

"Be careful, guys," Patch said. "I heard these spikes can hurt you if you're not careful."

They continued to follow the crystal spikes until they found where they lead to.

"Okay, this is it." Patch told them.

"Finally," Cherry panted. "What'd he do? Run laps through the hallways?"

"This is where the Crystal Prep's dancers practice." Sci-Twi said.

"Atticus!" Cherry called out. "ATTICUS!!!"

"I think I found him." Mo said as she saw her boyfriend approaching the girls that stole Rarity's idea.

"Atticus...?" Cherry panted due to how much she was out of shape.

Atticus stomped toward Sour Sweet and her friends. The crystal spikes soon caught the CPA girls' attention.

"You need to cool down." Sugarcoat said, though in a nervous tone instead of her usual cold and cynical tone.

"Talk... Now!" Atticus glared. "Why did you steal Rarity's idea?!"

"That's what we want to know." Mo said.

"Steal her idea?" Sour Sweet asked.

"Don't play stupid with me!" Atticus glared. "You change your routine right now!"

"Sorry, heh, but we can't." Sour Sweet smirked.

"Either you change your routine or I'll expose that you stole Rarity's idea." Atticus smirked.

"Who cares?" Sour Sweet replied. "We'll win with this routine anyway."

"I'm pretty sure cheaters don't win." Atticus smirked to her.

"He's unfortunately right." Sugarcoat stated.

"And I'd hate for everyone to find CPA a school filled with cheaters." Atticus smirked.

Sour Sweet growled at him with a firm glare. Atticus just glared back, using a stare like pony Fluttershy.

"Ooh, he's using The Stare." Patch shivered.

"Is that supposed to upset us?" Sour Sweet deadpanned before laughing, but her laugh seemed weaker and weaker as she looked into Atticus's blank stare of blue eyes.

The stare of course seemed to be able to do its job.

"Isn't he gonna blink?" Sour Sweet shivered. "J-Just blink! Blink already!"
