Chapter 10: Sleepover with The Humane 8

(Back home, Carlos is in his room having a sleepover with the Humane 8 doing stuff like reading books, drawing, taking selfies, playing music and playing video games. Speaking of games, Carlos is playing "Jackie Chan Stuntmaster" on the PSX while AJ and Rainbow Dash watch between him at both sides. The level then ended when Carlos defeated the final boss of the game and Rainbow was impressed.)

Rainbow: "Wow! You really good at this game, Carlos! I haven't get pass level 1 yet."

Applejack: [chuckles] "That's probably because you were problems dying a lot, Dash!"

Rainbow: [pouts] "Shut up, Applejack!"

Applejack: "Say, Sugarcube. Is there any video games you're not good at?"

Carlos: [thinks] "Hm." [got it] "I'm not good at playing Tetris. It's really fun, but the blocks just really gets annoying sometimes!"

Rainbow: [nods] "Well, I'm with you there. I'm not good at Tetris, either."

Applejack: "Me too."

Pinkie: [pops up, next to Carlos with a huge smile on her face.] "Me three!" [to Carlos] "Hey, Carlos! Want me and Rarity do your hair?"

Carlos: [nods] "Sure, Pinkie."

(She then grabbed Carlos and pulled him to the makeup station where Rarity is at and Pinkie puts his butt down on the chair, so she and Rarity can begin.)

Rarity: "So, Darling. How are things been doing since your superhero identity has been given out?"

Carlos: "Pretty good. I've been called to help out the other heroes from around the world when I'm not in school with you guys, the Dazzlings and the Shadow 5. It gets tiring at first, but I just let it go and go with my work."

Pinkie: [excitedly] "Ooh, Carlos! I'm so excited to hear that! Who did you help with?! Tell me! Tell me!"

Carlos: "Well, there's the Avengers, Justice League, Toon Squad, Jump Heroes, and plenty lots of solo heroes everywhere."

Sci-Twi: "That sounds like an impressive feat."

Carlos: "You have no idea."

Twilight: "Still, you should take a break from time to time. Y'know, just so you don't have to overworked yourself."

Carlos: "Yeah, you're right. Maybe I should, actually. Maybe I should retire to a big beach, with a nice big drink, and with a woman with nice big bags of ice for my head!"

Pinkie: [laughs] "Hey, I know that reference! Good one, Carlos!"

Carlos: "But still, this is my job. So I gotta get used to it, you know?"

Sunset: "We understand."

Fluttershy: "We just hope you don't get hurt."

Carlos: "Don't worry, Flutters. I'll be fine. I can take care of myself. Remember I've been doing this since I..." [frowns, as he realizes what he was about to say, which made the girls worried.]

Rainbow: "Hey, uh, you okay, dude?"

Carlos: [snaps out of it, as he grins with his eyes closed.] "Yeah, I'm okay! Forget what I say, okay?"

Applejack: "Uh, if you say so, Sugarcube."

(Just then, the doorbell rings.)

Pinkie: "Ohh! The pizza's here!"

(Everyone, except for Carlos and Twilight, ran out the room like Sonic's speed and Twilight was finally alone with Carlos, much to her delight.)

Twilight: "Hey, Carlos. Are you okay?"

Carlos: "Yeah, I'm a-okay. I'm just...remembering my past, that's all."

Twilight: "Do you miss your brothers and friends back at home?"

Carlos: "Well, even though they kinda neglected me all year and never bothered to invite to their parties... I actually do missed them. I wonder what they're doing now without me over there?"

Twilight: [places her hand on his shoulder, giving him a soft smile.] "Whatever they're doing, I'm sure they are doing whatever they can find and apologize to you. Besides, you can't still mad at them forever."

Carlos: "Yeah..." [smiles] "Thanks, Twilight."

(Twilight returned the smile as she and Carlos didn't realized that they're close to each other's faces and they were about to lean in to kiss... But then, Pinkie returns with a slice of pizza in her mouth.)

Pinkie: [mumbles] "You guys want some pizza!?"

(Hearing her made Carlos and Twilight separated from each other and blushed madly as Carlos smiled at Pinkie.)

Carlos: "Sure, Pinkie."

(Carlos then got up and quickly left the room with Pinkie hopping next to him, leaving Twilight to get herself up on her feet and cursed herself.)

Twilight: [thoughts] (So close to kissing Carlos!)

(Twilight then goes downstairs to see everyone was having pizza in the dining room and she grabbed her own slice of pizza and starts eating it. Rainbow Dash then went to check on her phone and it was dead, much to her dismay.)

Rainbow: "Ah, crap! My phone's dead!"

Carlos: "No big deal." [points at the direction to where the phone charger is at.] "There's a charger over at that table you can use."

Rainbow: [smiles] "Thanks, man!"

(As Rainbow Dash goes to charge her phone over at the table Carlos said, he heard and felt his phone ringing and takes it out from his pocket, seeing that it's from a Unknown Caller.)

Carlos: [to everyone] "Excuse me, girls. But I gotta take this call. I'll be back, okay?"

(The girls and Spike nodded in response and continued eating their pizza, leaving Carlos to use his phone in the kitchen and takes the call.)

Carlos: "Hello?"

???: "Carlos, it's me!"

Carlos: "Hey, Batman. This is a surprise. What's up?"

Batman: "Usually, I would do my job solo at night. But seeing as my enemies are teaming up somehow, I need your help on patrolling Gotham tomorrow night."

Carlos: "Is that so? Well, I like to, but-"

Batman: "You wish to bring along Sunset Shimmer and the Dazzlings with you, right?"

Carlos: "Uh... S-sure."

Batman: "Fine. As long as they stay out of the way. Meet me at the GCPD tomorrow at 9PM. Got it?"

Carlos: [nods] "Alright, then."

(He then hangs up and sighed lightly as Sunset Shimmer walked in, heard the whole thing.)

Sunset: "Who was that?"

Carlos: [turns around, smiles at Sunset] "Let's just say that you and the Dazzlings are in for a special treat tomorrow night?"
