A MosT DAngerous GAme
I see everything. I hear everything. And I know everything. I'm back, sweethearts. -T
Sugarcoat felt a flash of anger and punched the wall. "Are you joking?"
Garnet pointed at the cabin. "T? Okay, who's T? What's going on?"
Fluttershy glared at her. "It's someone who's screwing with us, okay! And we don't have a choice but to deal with it! We can't even tell our own parents, of this stalker will-"
Sunny pressed her lips together, and looked away.
River took Fluttershy's hand. "Have them tell you. I need Fluttershy." She pulled her friend inside.
"What?" Fluttershy was laughing. "You know, it hurt so much when Discord was A. Now anyone could want us dead. It's bad enough that he actually lived, but now...I can't handle it again."
River sighed. "Flutters, I'm the one who healed Discord. With my magic."
Fluttershy went quiet. Her mouth was open. She jerked away when River tried to touch her. "How could you do that to me? He was my boyfriend and he tried to kill me! He stalked all of us for months. Why would you want him alive?"
"We needed to know why he did it."
"If I wanted to know, then I could've asked before I 'killed' him."
Fluttershy turned quickly.
"Wait!" River called. "He did it for you." Fluttershy turned back. "I kind of knew that you wouldn't want him to tell you, so I talked to him before we left." She sighed. "Do you want me to tell you?" Fluttershy nodded. "Applejack threatened him. She knew that he got a girl pregnant at the school where he used to work, and she threatened to tell the police."
"Why did she care?"
River sighed again. "She told him that we made her do it. And he hated us for it. The only person he didn't hate was you."
Fluttershy bit her lip. "Then why would he do it?"
"He thought when we were gone it would be safe for you to date again. He loved you, Fluttershy. He loved you so much."
"So wait..." Fluttershy bit her lip. "A was for..." Her eyes were darting around. "...affection?"
River nodded.

Sunny slammed her door. She kicked over the small trash can. She leaned over on the side on her bed and breathed hard. Terror sweat and tears were shining on her face.
She saw an envelope on her bed, and ripped it open.
Missing your girlfriend? -T
She threw the note on the ground, then grabbed her pillow and screamed into it before throwing it down with the note.
She looked up, and gasped.
Ruby smiled. "Hello, dear. I hears you crying, and I wanted to see if you're okay."
Sunny nodded. She put her foot on the paper. "Yes. I'm fine."
The landlady put her finger on the closet door. "My friend is in her, so you can talk to her if you'd like to." Sunny blinked. Ruby shook her head. "It's not a human. It's a sweet little duck." She opened the door and took out a dead duck. "I have one in all of my rooms."
The Shadowbolt tried not to gag. "Okay. Thanks."
After Ruby was gone, Sunny picked up the duck. There was a little hole in it, so she slipped the note inside.

Sugarcoat glared at Indigo. "I told you. I told you what happened ten months ago. Why are you bringing this up?"
Indigo laughed. "You act so stupid! We both know why I'm asking you this. It's because you lied to me before. I'm not an idiot, sweetheart."
"I didn't lie to you," Sugarcoat hissed.
"Right. And you just kissed her because you were made at me? Yeah, well you can be mad at me, but you wouldn't do that to Sunny." Indigo smirked. "And I'm sure you didn't tell her what happened. I could."
Sugarcoat stepped closer to Indigo. They glared at each other for a few seconds before Sugarcoat lifted her arm, and slapped Indigo right across her face. Indigo touched her cheek, then looked at the blood on her fingers. Sugarcoat's eyes filled with regret.
Indigo shook her head a little. She turned and walked to the door. "I just wonder if Sunny would be mad that you kissed her dead girlfriend."
"Wait," Sugarcoat called.
But the other Shadowbolt was already gone.
Sugarcoat sighed.

Rainbow lay back in the grass. She was with Sunlight. "So why did you want to find me? Sunset and I never really dated. We were just friends."
Sunlight smiled. "I know. But you cared about her so much."
"Why didn't you try to meet her when she was living here?"
"She thought I was dead, and I didn't want to just come and make her confused. But I always wanted to meet her."
Rainbow nodded.
Sonata walked outside, and started to walk to Rainbow. "Hey, can I talk to-?" She saw Sunlight and stopped. "Oh."
Sunlight pushed herself up. "I'm going to go make some coffee. Do you want any?"
"Yeah."
After Sunlight was gone, Sonata sat down. "Are you busy right now? Aria told me that I needed to tell you why I'm so upset." Her voice was dark, and her eyes were filled with something like hate. "Do you want me to?"
Rainbow nodded.
Sonata sighed. She took a small box out of her pocket and took Rainbow's hand. "Don't open it until I'm gone."
The siren left her, and ran back inside.
Rainbow brushed her finger over the velvet box. She slowly pushed it open. Her violet eyes went round. Is that for real...a...wedding ring?

Adagio was sitting in Ruby's office, drinking tea. She smiled. "Thank you for asking me to come."
Ruby nodded. "Me friend made the tea. I helped her, of course."
"Who?"
"It's a secret."
Adagio looked away. She poured more tea, and sipped on it. "Oh. I just wanted to tell her thank you." She smiled again.
Ruby's office was filled with dead animals that she had stuffed, and her chairs were lined with fox fur. Her lights were shaped like bear claws. There were no windows, and it was dark. The room smelled like medicine.
"When she-" Adagio touched her head. She felt hot and dizzy. "I want to-" Her vision blurred, and she fell. She passed out.
Ruby smiled. "Oh, you're tired. It's okay. I'm sure you can sleep well tonight." She picked up Adagio. "This is a dangerous game, dear. I think you should sleep."

A girl who was wearing a blue pencil skirt and black shirt put all her hair up in a hat. She pulled on black boots, and slipped a knife in her skirt.
She sent out a text.
Then she tucked a little bit of hair back into her hat. Her eyes were hard as she ran out of her house.
This is how you end a chapter when you don't know how to.
Yeah.
I don't know.
