Fleur was panting when she finally reached the campus of Canterlot High. She saw the one car pulled up in the front of the school.
Anyone nearby could hear a older woman scolding Fleur. "I had to wait for 15 minutes at this trashy public school. Next time be on time or you are walking everywhere!" The car sped off.
Fleur hung her head a little bit before carrying two large boxes and placing them on the table under a tent in front of Canterlot High on the grass. There was a decorated sign on the front and other members volunteering to help already setting up.
-
This must be a record for Agilene; arriving at school twice in a weekend. This time isn't so bad, however, because she knows there are treats waiting to be eaten. Walking up to the front of the school, a tent with a table underneath, and students surrounding it stood. Among the students, she spotted Fleur, the Crystal Prep girl she had a rather tense encounter with at the cafe earlier. Agilene walked up to her, greeting her with a raised hand, "Hello, Fleur. Do you require any help setting up?"
-
As Foxtrot follows the others to the school, he slows his pace once he gets to his destination. "Huh, so this is Canterlot High. Not bad." The comments from Fleur's mother appear to contradict his statement, but that's just an opinion. He strolls over to the tables and tents, breathing in the sweet smells of baked goods; thankfully he brought his wallet. As Agilene offered assistance, Foxtrot looks around to find a good spot to play, keeping an ear out if Fleur or Lotus needed his aid for anything.
-
*sigh. The french teenage was a bit down in the dumps before she heard a familiar voice. "Oh! Bonjour Agilene! Good to see you made it, sorry I kind of took off midway. I probably jay walked like 5 times. I'm surprised I didn't die or get hit by any cars..." Fleur looked around. "No... I think I am good for now. But you can hang around here until we open up!" She reached into a cooler and offered Agilene some cola. "So how is your life at Canterlot high? Can't be worse than mine at Crystal Prep..."
-
"It sounds like you had a fun time walking here." Agilene removed her backpack, and dropped it on the grass. She leaned on the edge of the table, and gazed up at the blue sky.The lack of clouds made her grin. Clear skies; perfect weather for a bake sale. Agilene turned to Fleur, who offered her a cola, and she happily took it. "And define 'worse'. To tell you the truth, sometimes I'd much rather be off somewhere else than here." She opened the drink and gave it a sip. "How about you? What is it like in Crystal Prep?"
-
Choc was walking past CHS on his way home from work, when he spotted a large group of CHS students gathered around, preparing tables and placing baked goods on a table. "So Canterlot High has set up a bake sale. How...intriguing. I guess it couldn't hurt to go grab something. Might even let me see if they can beat me at baking." Choc turned towards the tables and started to walk closer, untill he spotted Fleur Dis Lee. "I wonder why she is here?" Choc stood there, a mixture of intrigue and confusion on his face. I thought Fleur went to Crystal Prep with me? What is she doing hanging around a Canterlot High bake sale? Choc thought to himself as he started preparing to send quite a few questions at his Crystal Prep classmate.
-
Fleur grabbed herself a cola, opened the can and took a sip.
"Really? I heard from everyone at CHS that they love it there and you guys are all together bonded... Crystal Prep is a nice school. Principle Cadance is a nice lady, but I just hate being surrounded by those kids. I have to put on this mask of a different person when I go there that I'm some stuck up, snotty, b*** of a girl. I have to act like a w***e and be around guys and girls I really honestly don't like. Everyone there is smart, athletic and motivated. I'm fine with that, but the competitions for anything is crazy. CHS seems just so connected and very authentic students who aren't two faced. It's like you can be yourself. You guys have united and defeated some super natural stuff I heard..." Fleur took another drink before spittiting it out on the ground.
"Oh no. That's Choc Pretzel. Shoot, this darn uniform makes me stick out. I gotta hide. Crystal Prep kids can't see me helping out and hanging around here!" She shoved the soda in the direction of Ageline's hands before diving behind the table to hide.
-
Lotus arrived and began drowning into her own work with making sure everything was perfect before putting up a menu and taking the covers off all of the boxes releasing the amazing aroma even further into the air.
Suddenly her phone rang.
"Hello? YOU WHAT? OH MY GOD ALOE! I'LL BE THERE JUST HANG TIGHT!" Lotus hung up. "I am so sorry. Something has happened at the spa. I'll try to get back as soon as possible. These students here can run the bake sale for a little bit, but Agilene can you just keep an eye out? Thank you!" Lotus ran off down the street.
-
As Choc approached, one of the CHS girls answered her phone, yelled something he couldn't hear, then broke away, running past him as she went. Isn't that one of the Spa Twins? Lotus, I think her name was. Or was it Aloe? Choc thought to himself. He looked back to the tables and saw that they were still setting up, so he found a nice shady spot, and sat down, trying to spot Fleur, who had seemed to have remived herself from the group.
-
Agilene watched Fleur hide under the table, confused. Choc Pretzel, she mentioned. To Agilene, the name sounded like it belonged to some baker from a run down restaurant. "Fleur, what's the matter?" Agilene asked, feeling concerned.
-
"Choc Pretzel is a kid from my school. If the Crystal Prep kids find out I am helping out CHS and hanging out with CHS students, my life will turn upside down." She said still on her knees crouched underneath the table. Crystal Prep is your school's rival. They want to be better at you guys at everything. I'll be labeled as some sort of traitor."
-
Agilened turned away from the table to face the sidewalk. She looked left and right, trying to spot someone who appears to be from Crystal Prep. Nothing but an elder couple walking by, a few CHS students, and a boy sitting under some shade. "What does he look like? I can keep a lookout for him."
-
Fleur picked her head up from under the table and pointed at Choc.
"There he is right there. Oh no he's coming!" SHe went back underneath.
-
Foxtrot couldn't help but wander around the bake sale, the aroma of fresh baked goods surrounding him to each table with hungry eyes. "Well, I'm going to be broke by the end of this. Worth it though." Returning back to Fleur's table, he finds Lotus rushing off to tend to something, Fleur under the table, and Agile scoping the area out. Assuming there's a logical explanation for this he shrugs it off and looks over to the shaded spot where Choc was sitting. Foxtrot walks over to the other prep student and sits down on the grass, slinging over his guitar. "Hey buddy, I need your help. I'm trying to set an atmosphere for the sale and I don't know what to go for. Should I try for relaxed and laid back or upbeat and energetic?"
-
Without moving her head, Agilene eyes the direction Fleur pointed at. Two boys having a conversation under some shade; one of whom she recognized as the future CHS transfer student with a guitar. Foxtrot was his name, wasn't it? And another who she did not recognize. It must be Choc. "So that's him. He is with that guitar player we met earlier."
-
"What?! Oh no. What if Foxtrot lets him know I'm here. ma réputation sera ruinée. My reputation will be ruined. Especially if Choc tells everybody..." Fleur groaned.
-
"Relax, Fleur." Agilene replied reassuringly. She crosses her arms to appear as if she is minding her own business, all the while having her eyes still fixed on Choc and Foxtrot. "It's not like they spotted you yet."
-
Choc looked at the guitarist. "Honestly, I wouldn't know. My brother is the music expert. I'm just a baker. But if I had to say, I reckon a light, upbeat song would be the go to here." Choc returned his gaze to the group of CHS students, which seemed to have spread out, and spotted Fleur underneath the table. Gotcha. Choc thought. I'll confront her after school tommorow. Wouldn't want to do it in front of a group, or the whole school will know. Knowing how bad the gossip is these days, she would end up being ridiculed out of Crystal Prep. And I wouldn't want to make her life miserable.
-
Fleur made eye contact with Choc.
"Dammit I think he saw me." The student let out a sign and stood up. "No point in it now. I guess I'm going to drop from nearly the top of this school to the bottom... It may not seem lieka big deal to you, but rumors can spread and can turn the story worse than they actually are."
-
As Choc made eye contact with Fleur, he realised that there would be a high chance that Fleur would freak out. Choc stood up and turned to the guitarist next to him. "Sorry mate, but I gotta go. Hope you figure out what to play." Choc walked over to the group, keeping his eyes on Fleur the whole time.
-
Keeping her eyes locked on Choc as he approached, Agilene wondered if there is anything she could do to help. Though it may not be her problem, it wouldn't hurt to at least help a friend get through what could potentially give her a hard time. "I'm quite familiar with your situation. Besides, he does not look like he would do any harm."
-
"Yeah... I really hope not." Fleur put her hands behind her back, bit her lip and kicked the dust up a little. "Je ne suis pas avoir un grand jour. I'm not having a good day."
-
As Choc walked off, Foxtrot took his suggestion and decides on what to play. Adjusting the strings of his guitar, he shoots back against the tree behind him and lays back. Comfortable, he strums a few strings and begins playing his tune.
https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=6rNLl3i33jk
His fingers dance along the instrument, creating a relaxing melody that surrounds the bake sale like background music.
-
Choc stopped in front of Fleur and the CHS students just as the music started to play. Nicely done. Choc thought to himself. Hopefully this will promote some calm vibes. Choc straightened his tie, nodded at Fleur, then turned towards the CHS student that had been talking to her not a moment ago. "Hi there! My name's Choc. If you wouldn't mind, could I borrow Fleur for a moment? I won't be long, promise." As Choc spoke, he fiddled with the ring on his finger, which had a gold ornament in the shape of a pretzel.
-
Agilene steps off to the side, giving Choc and Fleur some space. Getting a better look at him, she can clearly see the traits of how she'd see a typical Crystal Prep student or any private school kid; gold ring, tie, and formal way of speaking. What's next? A lamborghini?
-
"Pour l'amour de Dieu (For goodness sake). Don't you have somewhere better to be Choc? I am very busy right now." Fleur tried to turn on her b*tch mode. "Go hit on some other girls for once. I'm not interested."
-
"We both know that's not why I'm here Fleur. Look, I'm not here to start an argument. And I'm not gonna start spreading rumours about you. I just came over to remind you that your still in school uniform. Not exactly the most conspicuous outfit if your trying to blend in." Choc turned away, and started to walk off. "You wouldn't want anyone spotting you helping out iur rivals, now would we?"
-
Fleur sighed and looked down. "I just came from helping Principle Cadance with something. I always liked our uniform and seeing that I didn't have time to change, I kept it on." Fleur mved her hair aside and watched Choc begin to walk off. Attendez une minute! Wait a minute Choc... before you go. Try something here. It's not really helping CHS beat us in anything. It's for their student council... I never get a chance to bake anything for events at Crystal Prep so I took this opportunity as well as repay Aloe and Lotus for the spa treatments and products they give me... You are an incredible baker, I trust your opinion."
-
As Foxtrot finishes his song he's broken out of his focus by the applause of several passerbys. "Thank you. Now stop clapping and go buy some stuff from the bake sale. Go on, get going." As the crowd disperses over to the tables, Foxtrot gets up and stretches, deciding now would be a good time to get a snack. Heading over to Fleur's table, he pats Choc's shoulder as he passes him. "Thanks for the idea dude, great choice of adjectives." Once he arrives at the table he looks over the baked goods. "Well then... I'll..." Foxtrot pauses once more "Decisions, decisions..." He looks over to Agilene, "I'm completely stumped. Have you tried any of these yet?" He looks back to the baked goods, "I may just get one of everything." Fox finally looks up at Fleur, "You alright? You seem tense."
-
Standing by as Choc and Fleur conversed, her view shifted between the two as each spoke. Agilene provided a slight nod in agreement to Fleur's statement. On the contrary, when Choc gave his response and began to walk off, she shook her head, disappointed in how shallow is reply was. "Well, at least you tried," Agilene said to Fleur.
Agilene turned to the table of treats Foxtrot was looking at. "No, but I will now." She took a carrot muffin and gave it a small bit. A grin formed as its sweet flavor filled her mouth. "Perfect."
-
Choc stopepd walking and turned. "Well, when you put it like that." Choc walked back to the table, pulled out his wallet and gazed at the assortment of baked goods. "Hmm...I might have a choc chip cookie." Choc handed the money over and grabbed himself a cookie, taking a bite. "Mmm, this is good. Certainly better than the recipie they use in the canteen. Tiniest bit burnt, but it doesn't take from the overall taste." Choc turned and smiled "Well done."
-
It had been a busy week for Broadshield, just moving here from Manehatten with his family. He never really liked Manehatten anyway, as most people he saw there were just up themselves, believing that they were all better than everyone else, and doing anything to make sure they were at the top. He had just finished moving all the stuff into their house and decided to go and look around the area, even hearing about there being a bake sale at a nearby school. Wanting to hopefully make new friends and meet new people, he decided to wear a simple, grey shirt and dark grey jeans. He decided to also bring along his signature one strap backpack along. After getting himself ready, he headed out the door and begun to walk to the bake sale, while listening to his music through his earphones.
After a short walk, he finally arrived at the bake sale. There were a decent amount of people, a lot more than any bake sale that he attended. Deciding to get something to eat, he made his way over to one of the many stalls. When he got their he saw that there was one, maybe another in Crystal Prep uniform, he knew because his parents were considering sending him there, but later deciding to have him homeschooled. 'Pretty strange, seeing Crystal Prep students at a Canterlot High event, maybe I can ask one of them later' he thought to himself as he looked over the selection of baked goods.
(OORP: you can ignore the top part before the line, just a bunch if background stuff)
-
"I am... a bit tense Fox... hey your playing was fameux (excellent)!" Fleur admitted. "It shouldn't be an issue though right?" She asked Choc in bit of a sympathetic tone. "C'est vraiment gentil de ta part (It's really kind of you to say that.)(If she doesn't translate it after she says it idk if your characters can understand any french haha. The parenthesis is just so the reader knows what she's saying). "my parent's taught me a little something when I was younger but that was it. I tried to learn more on my own after they stopped teaching me anything." She looked at the new comer ho had just arrived, but let him look over everything first. The Crystal prep student simply straitened out the bow on her uniform and looked at the crowd around the stand.
-
"An issue?" Foxtrot asks, looking rather surprised, "Ms. Fleur, this isn't an issue, but a pleasure to assist you the best way I can. Plus I'm at a bake sale so it's a win-win situation. Now let's see, I'll have a-" He's cut off with a ring of his phone. Stepping back from the table he answers the call. "Yo... Yea I found the school; it's a few blocks from the cafe we went to a few days ago... Nah they're having a bake sale. I'm helping them out with some music; actually, can you stop by over here? I got an idea... Ok I'll see you in 5." Hanging up the phone he returns to the table, "Well Madame Fleur, prepare to have a crowd flock over to buy all your things. Speaking of which, I'll have one of everything, please." Foxtrot pulls out the proper payment and places it on the table.
-
Upon finishing her muffin, Agilene overhears the talk between Fox and Fleur. The one thing that caught her attention was the mention of a "crowd" appearing. So far, there s a gitar player and a bake sale. Connecting the dots, it seems there may be a small performance happening soon, Agilene thought. She turned around, facing the two. "It seems to me the customers here will get more than they bargained for. Perhaps a stage should be set up, hmm?"
-
Fleur stood stunned for a moment before smiling and getting a bunch of plates filling them with everything. She counted the money that was given to her before putting it in the metal safety box.
"Wow Fox. Everything?" The french girl pushed all of the plates towards Foxtrot."Thank you! It warms my heart to know you like my food."
-
"I think I'll be off now. I hope everyone likes your stuff as much as I do!" Choc turned and walked off, heading home. Now, back to my idiot brothers.
-
"We should definitely get a stage set up." Foxtrot replies as he looks over his purchase. "And I should definitely get a bag or something because I physically can't carry all of these by myself. Uh Fleur, do you have anything I can put these all in?"
-
In the distance a green jeep speeds towards the school, as it approaches the loud reggae music it plays can be heard from anyone nearby. It parks a short distance away from the bake sale, the music lowering as not to be rude to the customers. A taller dark female with emerald eyes and hair exits the vehicle. Her smoke colored aviators complement her white tank top and fitted blue jeans. She walks over to Fleur's table and taps Foxtrot's shoulder, "Excuse me sir, your dork readings are off the charts. I'm gonna have to ask you to leave."
-
Foxtrot turns around with a smirk on his face, "I'm sorry ma'am I think you're in the wrong place. The senior center is down the road from here." The two share a laugh as they give a quick hug. "How's it going Niv. I'm glad you were able to find this place faster than I was." Foxtrot looks over to Fleur and Agilene, "Oh, this is my older sister Nivalia. Niv, this is Agilene and Fleur." Nivalia politely nods and waves at the two. "Hey I may need to borrow your jeep. We're gonna have a show for this sale and I need some base and instrumentals for the performance." His sister gives him a thumbs up and goes to her vehicle; starting it up she backs the jeep up against the grass and pops the trunk. One could see two large subwoofers installed in the back, ready to let out some loud beats. "Perfect! Yo get track four ready! I'll hook up my strings to the auxiliary chord."
-
Just as he was about to introduce himself to the CPH (Crystal Prep High (school)) student, the newcomer, who is introduced by the guitar player. Seeing the way they act, the two of them must be close. He also introduces the two girls at the stall as Fleur and Agilene. After watching Nivalia park her jeep, he turns to the guitar player. "Hey man, if it's alright with you, I can help with setting this up. Oh, and my name's Broadshield."
-
Foxtrot looks over to the new guy, "Broadshield? Nice to meet you; I'd certainly appreciate the help." He looks over to Agilene, "You two can set up the stage. I gotta hook up my guitar to the speakers and make sure that it works."
-
"Je suis très heureux de faire votre connaissance. I'm pleased to meet you." Fleur waved back. "Are you going to CHS as well?"
-
Nivalia gets out of the jeep and returns to the table, "Yup. I'll only be there for a year. After that it's straight to the Vanhoover University of Medicine." She smells the pastries on the table. "Oh that smells divine! Fox, did you buy one of each?" Foxtrot nods, motioning to his purchase. "I'll have what he's having." Nivalia pulls out the proper payment and also buys one of everything. "I'll be chowing down on these tonight."
-
"Goodness the student council is going to have way more money than the target amount." Fleur smiled at Niv. "I'm glad that you all seem to like my baking."
-
Foxtrot strings a few strings as he attaches his guitar to the jeep. The sounds are amplified through the speaks, the vibration of the subwoofers make the vehicle tremble. "You make awesome treats Fleur! Thank you for sharing them with us."
-
"C'est mon plasir." Fleur gave a bright and cheery smile at Foxtrot before yawning herself. "Your music certainly attracted more people. We all appreciate that too. You are very talented."
-
Foxtrot chuckles as Fleur compliments his talents, "Ah Fleur, you haven't seen... or rather heard, the half of it." He looks over to the jeep, rather confused, "Huh, that's weird, the background instrumentals should be playing by now..." He goes over to the driver's seat ad leans in. "Niv! You forgot to put the CD in! Ah where is it... Oh! Here we go..." After some shuffling he finally manages to get the disc in the player. "Much better, now track four... is set." Foxtrot gets out and shuts the door. "Ok, sound is all set, just gotta get on stage and start this up."
-
This was turning into quite the bake sale. It was probably the first time she had enjoyed anything from Canterlot High. However, it soon ended when her phone alarm vibrated in her backpack. That was the sign that she would be late for her errands. In a hurry, she leaves the group without a goodbye.
-
Fleur watched Agilene run off. She frowned because she probably wasn't going to see her anytime soon. She then turned to Foxtrot and waited from him to play.
-
After finally finishing setting up the stage by himself, he was pretty tired. He then went up to Foxtrot and said "Everything's set up, whenever you're ready" he then went up to the CPH student and asked "Do you sell any drinks here? I'm kinda thirsty after all that."
-
Foxtrot slings over his guitar and steps onto the makeshift stage, "Thanks Broadshield, I appreciate it. Niv, on three press play." Nivalia heads over to the jeep and places her finger ever so gently on the button as she awaits for the signal. A small crowd has already begun to form around the stage, even more people from a distance approaching to see the performance. "Good day everyone!" Foxtrot shouts, "I hope you're all enjoying this bake sale as much as I am. And I hope you enjoy this performance. And a one, two, three!" With the press of a button, the instrumentals of the song loudly play from the jeep's speakers, as well as the strumming of Fox's guitar as he sings an upbeat tune.
http://youtu.be/qJV1ug60fS4
As the song continues, the crowd cheers on as more people arrive to listen. All the while onlookers stop by the tables in droves to buy a snack for the performance. When it all concludes a roar of applause fills the air as Foxtrot, and Nivalia, who just happened to pop up next to him all of a sudden, take a bow.
-
Fleur smiled and bobbed her head to the beat of the song slightly. She looked at Broadshield and nodded.
"Yes we do. No need to pay for it since you helped Foxtrot set up." She threw her own bits on the table paying for it. "What would you like?"
-
After Foxtrot finished his song, Broadshield applauded him. Turning towards the CPA student, he said "You didn't need to pay for my drink, but thank you anyway, I'll have a lemonade or water if you have any. My name is Broadshield by the way, whats yours?"
-
Fleur tossed a bottle at Broadshield before leaning on the table and crossing her arms. "Nice to meet you. I'm Fleur Dis Lee, but Fleur is just fine."
-
"Good to meet you Fleur" he says as he catches the bottle before opening it and drinking. "I'd be correct to assume you're French right?" he asks.
-
"Tu as raison. You are right!" Fleur answers. "Do you go to Crystal Prep or CHS?"
-
After running her errands somewhere else, Agilene casually strolls back to the school. So far, nothing much has changed, aside from a stage, and more attendees. Though, judging by the stage, it's clear the girl had missed something significant. Over by the table, she spots Fluer standing with a boy. Agilene makes her way over to them.
-
"Me? I don't actually go to either, I'm being homeschooled" he replies. "Judging by you uniform, and that other boy's uniform, the one you were talking to before, would you both be Crystal Prep Academy Students?"
-
Foxtrot and Nivalia get off the stage as the applause dies down, "Good work with the setup Niv. That jeep is a life saver. You gonna stay around for a bit?" Nivalia grins but shakes her head. "Yea I know, we gotta get ready for school! Ugh.... oh well, at least we know where the school is. I'm gonna pack my stuff up in the car, you got the wires disconnected?"
-
"Yea I'll take care of it." Nivalia says as she disassembles the wires connecting to her vehicle. After a few minutes she finishes and packs her things into the jeep as well. "Alright Fox, let's say goodbye to these nice people and head off; we still got some prepping to do." Foxtrot nods, leading Nivalia over to Fleur, Aglene, and Broadshield. "Hey guys, we're gonna be heading off. We had a lot of fun helping out; Fleur, I look forward to eating the rest of your baked treats." The siblings wave as they walk over to their car, "Have a good one! We'll see you later!" With the run of a key and the rev of an engine, the jeep backs up, and pulls out of the parking lot, giving a friendly beep as it drives off.
-
Agilene approaches the group just as the green jeep drives away. She points a thumb back at the jeep while facing Broadshield and Fluer, "Sounds like I missed a party."
-
Waving goodbye to Foxtrot and Nivalia, he turns to the new girl. "Yeah, there was a performance courtesy of Foxtrot not too long ago."
-
"Yes... Well I am not supposed to be here but I'm just helping out a friend. CHS is one of largest rivals." Fleur fixed up her bowtie and uniform proudly before saying goodbye to Nivalia and Foxtrot. She looked at the time.
"AH! I gotta go before my parents get mad. I'll see you all around. Thanks for helping!" Fleur quickly hurried out of sight.
-
Though Fluer leaving was sudden, Agilene gave her a goodbye wave. She then faced Broadshield, crossing her arms, "And then there were two. What is your name?"
-
"Oh, uh, my name is Broadshield, what's your name" Broadshield replies after waving goodbye to Fleur.
-
"Agilene. I noticed you met Fluer earlier. I must say, it certainly was nice of her to help run this event." she commented, eyeing the treats on the table.
-
"Yeah, it was nice of her to help out their rival school." he responds, looking out to the crowd. "But I never understood this rivalry crap between CHS and CPA, I mean, it's good to be rivals, but to the point where students are in danger and there is property damage." He says as he looks and points at the now destroyed statue
-
Feeling displeased, she rolls her eyes at the thought, "You're right, the fued between us can get out of hand at times." Taking out her phone, she checks the time displayed on its screen. "Perhaps I should go. It was a pleasure meeting you."
-
"It was a pleasure meeting you too Ageline." He says as he walks off back home, leaving the Bake Sale.
