Flying Freedom (ON HOLD)

Chapter 18

Opening the door to our dorm rooms, I catch a sniff of something sweet. We haven't been home at all, though.... Who could have done something with the door closed and locked? Looking around, I can't see anything out of the ordinary. Wait, what is - a note?
Dear the stupid people reading this,
Hi. My name is Catanya, and I'm going to make sure you don't interfere with my plans. You had fun with Mitch, didn't you? Too bad, but no one will believe you. They'll think you're just faking it all. But then, Mitch never wants to see you again, now does he? Bummer. Be careful when you get back to school - I'll be watching you. Don't think you can escape what fate has set up for you, for I'll make sure whatever I want to happen WILL happen. Good luck hiding your secret, although it won't be a secret for much longer...
-Catanya

I... WHAT?!? Next to the note is a rose. Snatching it up from the counter, I thrust it a Twi, who uses her magic to disintegrate it. Then I throw the remains out the window as far away as I can. Watching as they hit the ground, I notice it is turning everything around it a deep black, as if it'd been on fire. But, it hadn't...

"Well, just who do they think they are?!?!?" Jackie shouts, glaring at the paper in front of her.

"Duhhhh Catanya!!!" Pinkie squeals. No, really. I had NO idea!

"Well, whatever. I'm just going to go unpack," I tell them as I pick up my luggage. Opening my door, I sense something is different. My window's open! Slamming it shut, I flinch as I see someone walking past, staring up at me. Backing away, I shut the blinds It's okay, Dash, it was nothing. After all, closing the window could have been.... loud, right? See, it was nothing you need to worry about. The first thing I do is plug in my speakers and turn on my new favorite dramatic dancing song - Discord. Yes, I do mean the discord discord.
I'm not a fan of puppeteers, but I've a nagging fear someone else is pulling out the strings. Something terrible is going down through the entire town wreaking monarchy and all it brings. I can't sit idly, no I can't move at all...

Ahhh yes, that song is radical. I only found it today, on my... phone. Facepalm. At least I copied it down first. Now all I need to do is unpack. Throwing open my luggage, I grab the whole thing and throw it on my bed. Picking up all the clothes inside, I dump them into the dirty laundry basket. Hmm.... I'll need to do that soon. Opening the carry-on bag, I sort everything out, putting it away. Most people would think I'd be very messy, but I'm actually pretty neat - most of the time. Okay, partially neat. Ish. Whatever, you get the point. Zipping up the bags, I throw them both in my closet. Hey, it's 'storing' them! Don't judge. Just then, I happen to look in the mirror.

"Eeeee!!!" I scream, falling backwards. That - that can't be me!!! AHHHHH!!! In the mirror, there's a girl that looks exactly like me. She moves when I move, breathes when I breathe. The only *MAJOR* difference between her and I is that her hair is striped rainbow. Oh, gosh. Noooo, no, NO. The wings are enough hassle as it is. Now I have a rainbow for my hair. Great. Do they even allow that at school? I am pretty sure that doesn't wash out. Wait - that would explain why everyone was staring at me weirdly when I got out of the plane and on my way here. Ah, that's why. So much for fitting in at school. Yeah, I didn't really want to, anyway. Fitting in is for.... ummm losers, right? Heh heh, I guess that'd make me one, too. Signing sadly, I jog downstairs to show the others my new 'look'. Just then, I see Peony and Flit pulling on their hair. They both have, WHOA. Pink!!! Twi has dark, dark purple with a hint of pink. Oh, swell. Now we'll be known as the 'Rainbow Group' due to our unnatural hair colors. Jackie pretty much just looks the same. Unicity is purple also, but lighter than Twi. Yup, definitely the Rainbow Group. When you get a nickname at high school, it tends to stick with you, possibly forever. Yay! Can mine be FREAK?!?!? Cause that's what I look like, here.

"What's going on?!?" We all shriek. No one knows, mwahaha. Actually, an explanation would be good right about now. Any takers? Nope? None? Guess that leaves me.

"Look, guys, calm down. We won't get anywhere by screaming at the top of our lungs. Besides, what if the neighbors hear us?" I shout over their noise. Just on time, the doorbell rings. And rings. And rings. Followed by the pounding of a fist on the door.

"Jackie, you go. Your hair is relatively normal!" Unicity whispers as we duck behind the couch. She groans, but nonetheless goes and opens it anyway. Ohhh no. Standing outside is Mitch, Jerome, Preston, and Rob. WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY DOING HERE?!?!? We all do a muffled shriek of outrage, trying out hardest to be quiet.

"Ummm excuse me, are your friends home?" Mitch asks, blushing. Jackie glares at each of them in turn before slamming the door in their faces. You go, girl! All of us start giggling - we can't help it. Especially right after that impressive display by Jackie. She's the best! The laughing stops as we all realize the same thing - how did they get here? And, more importantly, WHY?
