Chapter Thirty-One: A Kiss from a Siren
At Midnight, Paul and Adagio were sitting on the side of the dolphin tank, watching the stars, while Aria and Sonata were sleeping underwater. Paul said to Adagio that he did love their singing, but he believed that Rarity will never replace him because she will always love him wherever he goes. Adagio realised that her spell didn't work as well, when she said, I was expecting more than that. Paul asked her what made her say that? Adagio said, it was nothing because she was just thinking about the past. Before the Rainbooms defeated them, they've been spending their lives feeding off every pony and humans' negative energy. Then she asked Paul if it was possible if they feed them positive energy. Paul told her that they did sing to everyone in Canterlot High without putting them under their spell three days ago. So that's positive enough. Adagio felt glad. Then she said that their master promised them that he'll turn them into powerful Sirens if they took over the Pony Equestria, but Paul turned them into something amazing. Paul asked her if she was trying to ask him for something in return. Adagio said that she was. Then she asked him to kiss her. Paul said no because he can't do that when she was a Siren. Adagio said in a lovely voice, you can and you want to. Paul took a deep breath and said, all right, but just one because she deserved it. When they were about to kiss, Paul pushed Adagio away because he changed his mind. But Adagio begged him to kiss her by stroking his left shoulder with her hoof. Paul was feeling strange, then he asked her, what's happening to me? Then Adagio asked him, what is happening to you? Then Paul said that he thinks that he was under her spell. Then Adagio held him and gave him a big kiss.
Back in the Hall of Friendship, Spike said, that looks weird while he was watching Paul kissing Adagio in Paul's past. Twilight said, at least Paul was immune to the Dazzlings' spell. Eddie asked her who was their master. Twilight said she doesn't know because they never told her when she met them. Eddie said, if the Dazzlings said that Trixie came to the Human Equestria, how come she never told her. Twilight said, she doesn't know why. Maybe it's because she still doesn't trust Trixie since she beat her in their magic duel, a long time ago. Twilight turned the page from Eddie's Journal and said that the next page had the last entry and they might find the answers they were looking for. So, Eddie, Twilight and Spike watched the last scenes of Paul's past.
Chapter Thirty-Two: A Broken Friendship
The next day in Canterlot High, Paul was looking for the Rainbooms. When he found them, they didn't look happy to see him. Paul asked them what's wrong. Applejack asked him if he had lost his phone recently. Paul took his phone out of his pocket and said no. Then he asked her why. Applejack said, then explain what's on my phone. Paul looked at her phone and saw Mr. Chris-Tall's MyStable profile filled with pictures that Paul took at his second slumber party two days ago. Paul asked, how did he get their pictures? Rainbow Dash said that the pictures were taken by Paul. Applejack asked him, who knew about her nickname? Who knew about the Rainbooms? Who's been posting lies about her and her friends? Applejack told Paul that he was Mr. Chris-Tall. Paul looked shocked. Rarity said to him that after he got her fabric back from Suri, this is how he thanked her? Paul realised what was going on. Then he said to Applejack that it wasn't him because he thinks it was Apple Bloom. But Applejack didn't believe him because she said that her sister may have told secrets to everyone as Anon-a-Miss, but she never posted lies. Paul said that he didn't do it and he could never hurt his friends. Pinkie Pie said that he did because he told everyone that she only makes parties because she like making everybody sad. But that's not true because she only makes parties because she like making everybody happy. Then she called Paul a horrible liar. Then Fluttershy said that she only liked Ferdinand because he was born to love. But he told everybody that she only liked him because he was born to fight. Then she told him that he was not their friend. Paul tried to explain, then he told Sunset that she knew he wouldn't do that to anyone. But Sunset looked sad and said that she didn't know what to say. Paul was about to cry and asked the Rainbooms if they didn't believe him. Applejack said to him that she was sorry, but she thinks that Paul shouldn't be part of the Rainbooms anymore. She doesn't know what's happened to him back in his world, but he should go and write to his friend and tell him what he did. But she promised him that his friend won't be happy. Paul turned away and dried his tears. He had no choice but to tell the Rainbooms that he was Mr. Chris-Tall and he has been posting lies about them to everybody, even he knew that he really didn't do it.
Paul put on his unhappy face and said to the Rainbooms that they got it all figured out. Pinkie Pie asked him why he was doing this to her and her friends. Paul put on an angry face and shouted that he doesn't like slumber parties. He only pretends to like them, so he can tell everyone lies about them and get close to his favourite girl-band, the Dazzlings. The Rainbooms gasped in shock and Rarity asked Paul if he had been using them. Paul was pretending that he doesn't care about her being dramatic, then he said, since were no longer friends, he'll get everything out of his system, so he won't wake up in the morning feeling cheesed off. When Fluttershy was about to cry, Paul told her to go ahead because she was a terrible veterinarian. When Pinkie Pie gasped, Paul told her to go ahead because she's a terrible party planner. Rarity told Paul, that's enough. But he didn't because he said to her that she always hate wearing everything purple, but her hair was purple, but she keeps believing that her hair was dark blue. Applejack said to Paul that he needed to stop before he said something he'll regret. Then he called her a liar. He told Rainbow Dash she was uncool. He told Rarity that she'll never become a fashion designer. He told Fluttershy that her animal friends don't like her because she was ugly. Then he told Pinkie Pie that she was crazy. Sunset told Paul to stop. But he grabbed her by the hand and said that she may not see it, but everybody in Canterlot High doesn't like her because she put a spell on them after she stole Princess Twilight's crown. They were only pretending because they are still afraid. No matter what she does, nobody will ever forgive her, especially the Rainbooms. Paul let go of Sunset's hand and the rest of the Rainbooms looked shocked after what he said to them. Paul told them that they can stop feeling sorry for themselves because they never meant to be friends. Paul called them unbelievers and stormed away. Sunset asked him to wait, but Paul didn't listen. Rainbow Dash said to her friends that Paul admits what he did, but she didn't expect him to go that far. Sunset was worried about Paul, then she said to Applejack, what if Paul's right. What if Apple Bloom and her friends were trying to ruin his life like they tried to do to her. Applejack said that they don't know that for sure, but for now on she and her friends will leave him alone. She hoped that Paul doesn't post lies about everybody to everyone. When the Rainbooms went back to class, Paul was standing behind the wall hearing their conversation, then he ran to the soccer field.
Chapter Thirty-Three: Paul's Memories of his First Hearth's Warming Eve
After Paul made it to the soccer field, he went to sit down in the stand. He started crying and he has been saying to himself that he was stupid that he had hurt his friends' feelings because they didn't believe him. When he was about to get some tissues out from his rucksack to dry his tears, he got out his music box that Eddie and Princess Celestia made for him. That was his first Hearth's Warming Eve gift. As he rotated the key to right, the music began to play and a Humacorn and a Unicorn on the music box were rotating round and round as if they were dancing. It was playing a song from the animated film, Anastasia that Paul watched every Christmas. Paul was singing "Once Upon a December" from Anastasia. He imagined that he was in Grand Galloping Gala with all the ponies he had known, but it was his memory of his first Hearth's Warming Eve. Then he'd imagined that he was a Humacorn and he was dancing with Rarity.
After he had finished singing, he was back to reality because he heard the Wondercolt soccer team coming to do some practice. Paul quickly left the field before they arrived. What he didn't know was that he dropped his music box and the Dazzlings were watching him feeling sorry for himself and singing.
Back in the Hall of Friendship, Eddie asked Twilight that how come they can see Paul's imagination. She guessed that they don't just see what Paul was doing, they can also see what Paul was thinking, but only the good things. Spike said that he couldn't believe what Paul just said to the Rainbooms. Twilight said that she was sure that he didn't mean to hurt them on purpose, but let's carry on watching Paul's past because they were only a few scenes left. And they did.
Chapter Thirty-Four: The Dazzlings Encourage Paul
In the hall at Canterlot High, the Dazzlings went to the Library to find Paul because they were worried about him. Then Sonata saw him writing his Journal in the dark. She called her friends because she had already found him. Adagio and Aria caught up with her. Then Adagio asked Paul if he was okay. Paul said that he doesn't want to see anybody. Aria encouraged him to tell them what happened because they saw him having a fight. Paul put his Journal in his rucksack, took a deep breath and said, the Rainbooms believed that he was Mr. Chris-Tall who's been posting lies about them to everybody. But he knew it was Apple Bloom and no one believed him. So, he had no choice but to tell them that he hated them. He knew he was lying about how he feels about them, but he didn't see any other way. Adagio felt sorry for Paul. Then she said that she and her friends believed him because he wouldn't do such a thing. Adagio sat next to Paul, she said there's something in his past that has been troubling him. Then she asked him what happened. Paul explained that at his school in his world, nobody believed that his saved his world from the Darklings with Eddie. So, he decided to deface school property by graffitiing unbelievers on every locker to make them believe, but it didn't work. Aria suggested that Paul should try again because the humans in the Human Equestria will have to believe him. Paul got up and said thank you to her, but he doesn't want to do it again. Adagio said, in his heart he does. Paul asked her, what does she mean by that. The Dazzlings smiled and started to sing their Siren song to him. It was similar to "Battle" from Rainbow Rocks. Paul liked their singing, but he begged them to stop but they didn't. Then they used their magic from their pendants to make Paul see visions of his friends calling him unbeliever. Paul covered his ears to drown out the noises, but he gave up and said, okay, I'll do it. Just stop singing that song and showing me visions. The Dazzlings stopped singing and the visions where gone. Adagio calmed Paul down and said that she and her friends would hate to see everyone not believing him. Paul said that he doesn't know if it was going to work at the Human Equestria. Sonata said to him that he won't know unless he tries. Paul said that he was scared that the Rainbooms will hate him more than usual. The Dazzlings were using their feminine charms to encourage Paul that the Rainbooms won't believe him, unless he believed they will. Adagio kissed Paul on the lips. Then Aria and Sonata, one at the time. Paul was feeling better after they kissed him. Then he said, excuse me, girls. I have some unfinished business to take care of and it will start tonight. When Paul left the Library. Aria didn't look happy and said, what's going on? Our spell didn't work on him. Sonata asked Adagio if Paul was just playing them all this time. Adagio said, no because Paul liked it. Then she also said, well, girls. It looks like we made ourselves a friend.
Chapter Thirty-Five: Paul the Midnight Graffiti
At midnight, Paul sneaked out of the window from Principal Celestia's house. He went to Canterlot High and found an open window. He climbed up and went inside. Then he opened the door next to him with his lock pick that he made at his school in New York City. He went into the P.E room and closed the door behind him quietly. Paul lifted his hood up and said that the P.E room was a perfect place to show the Rainbooms that he wasn't Mr. Chris-Tall. Paul took out his spray cans, his headphones that DJ Pon-3 gave him and his mask from his rucksack. He put on his mask, so he wouldn't get paint up his nose. Then he put on his headphones, connected them to his phone and started to listen to Alexandra Burke's song, "Bad Boys". He said to himself that he was ready to turn the Rainbooms from unbelievers to believers. So, he picked up his spray cans and started spraying on the walls. Paul called himself the Midnight Graffiti because he graffities in school at midnight.
Twenty minutes later, Paul had finished painting "The Rainbooms are Unbelievers" on the wall. Suddenly, he heard a thud sound behind him. It was the night watchman. He walked very close to Paul. The night watchman was Ray Parson. Paul looked scared because he was caught defacing school property again.
I'll post another five chapters, the same time next week.
