Author's Note (Monster): Hello, our lovelies! I am happy to tell you that I figured out the ending for this fic. I have yet to draw the outlines of the next chapters but I predict this story may end at chapter 60! I'm also trying to figure out what to do with Untouched and Savage since I know where I'm headed with those stories but I have yet to figure out how to go there. Kidnapped is stuck. Completely stuck but I'll fix that too at one point. Remember when I said Riddle Me This was stuck? Look at it now, it's finished! Replies to the reviews below, enjoy!


Previously on Puzzle The Pieces;

Dylan stayed over to watch My Little Pony with Aron and Danny, turning out to be a true brony. They ended up having a great time, spending the night in Danny's room when he received an angry message from Jordon. He knew Dylan had stayed over, but how?

Dylan's POV

My knuckles turned white as I grasped steering wheel of my car while I made my way home from Danny's house. There was a sense of guilt in the pit of my stomach, waiting to pipe up so I had to face what I'd done. While my intentions were to confront Danny when I made my way over to his house, they seemed to melt when I saw Aron there. There was no way I could talk to him about this with him in the room so I stayed to try and see if I could get Danny alone to talk to him about this stupid crush.

I just had to know if he still liked me because if he did, Jordon was in for a heartbreak and I really didn't want my best friend to get hurt. Though the entire night proved me wrong. Danny spoke lovingly of Jordon and was really bothered by the fact Jordon was hesitant. It definitely put a brick in my stomach for being so damn self-centred. How could I think he still had feelings for me if he spoke about his boyfriend so nicely?

I was relieved how kind Aron had been to me after we received the ice cream from Danny's mother. He seemed like the old friend I once knew when he was still a part of our band. That alone made me feel worse about the stuff that went down at Danny's house.

Earlier that morning

We were sitting at the breakfast table. Danny's mother had been nice enough to get us something substantial to eat rather than a bowl of cornflakes. While munching on a slice of bread, Danny typed away on his phone, presumably to text Jordon.

Wonder what Jordon will say.

I closed my eyes to swallow the thought along with the food in my mouth and turned my head to Aron. "So you guys have been doing Brony Fridays since…?"

"Since season one", Aron replied, mouth full. "It was majorly overhyped on the internet so we decided to watch episode one together but fuck, the whole story of Nightmare Moon was awesome and addictive."

Danny nodded. "Yeah, just how Luna was neglected as the night pony and her sister, the pony who was responsible for sunrise, got the most attention of the kingdom. She didn't like how the ponies would sleep through her beautiful night."

"We only slept partially through it?" I offered and the pair laughed. "Yeah, Luna's proud of us, Dylan."

Who knew a children's show could be this interesting?

Danny's phone buzzed. My eyes shot to his face as Aron sipped a glass of fresh orange juice. The singer turned pale as he opened the message so I consciously averted my eyes to stare at a bread crumb on the table. We'd get it now.

"What the fuck", Danny muttered, face insecure like he couldn't decide how to feel. He looked up, shifted his gaze from Aron to me and back.

Aron cocked his head questioningly. "What's up?"

Danny frowned and put down his phone, locking the screen again but I knew Jordon hadn't been very positive to him now. "You know what's up, Aron."

Huh?

"What? Why should I know?" Aron asked.

The brunette laughed mockingly. "You're a terrible liar, dude. You told him."

"Told who what?"

Danny's accusing Aron.

"I knew it was too good to be true", Danny snorted. "I thought everything was fine again between us. That you didn't care about my position in the band anymore but I guess it was just a fucking lie to stab me in the back, wasn't it?"

Aron got up, standing to full height to meet Danny. "Danny, I have no idea what you're going on about. I don't care about your position in that stupid band. I told you, Jimmy and Anthony helped me get over it."

Danny didn't seem to have any of it. This was like watching a tennis tournament, head going from side to side to see what the other player would come up with to save himself. "Then why the fuck did you tell Jordon?!"

"Tell Jordon WHAT? Dude, stop accusing me of shit I didn't do!"

"You told Jordon Dylan was staying over the night and now he's fucking pissed at me!"

Aron rolled his eyes. "I could honestly care less about your stupid relationship with Jordon, let alone ruin it. Why the hell would I even text him? I deleted his number when I left the band."

"Stupid relationship?" Danny repeated with a raised eyebrow. "Wow, thanks Aron. You totally opened my eyes there. You're still a self-centred douchebag."

"I AM self-centred? God, Danny, everything's been about you since I left that stupid band. What's wrong with you these days? Your mom's right. You fucking changed", Aron shouted at him.

I mindlessly swirled a spoon around in my chocolate milk. It was cringeworthy to watch the entire scene. I didn't want to watch the two best friends split up yet again because of our band, because of us, because of me.

Because of Jordon a little too.

Mostly because of me.

It didn't end well. It ended with Aron slamming the door shut and leaving the house and with me, offering solace to Danny. It felt wrong and I felt horribly guilty but now wouldn't have been the right time to tell him. Instead I rubbed his back, I whispered some words of encouragement and told him to make it up to Jordon.

Just text Jordon. It'll be fine. Explain to him what happened.

I felt two-faced and my conscious screamed at me to stop acting like this but I had no idea what had got into me. After that night I just couldn't pretend anymore.

I'd been a liar for a while now, I knew that too. I wouldn't entirely be truthful with myself just yet but after what I'd done, I couldn't lie anymore.

Danny was so into Jordon that it made me boil. I wasn't there to protect my best friend. I was there to crush him.

I was there for personal gain. I was there because I wanted to know if Danny still liked me but then it seemed like he didn't so I felt like he stepped on my toes.

So I recoiled by sending Jordon a text message about the night I spent at Danny's. Just that, no explanation about Aron and me staying over after watching some series. Just a simple text message for him to interpret;

To Jordon: I slept at Danny's place. I'm so sorry.


Please Review, they're our heavy fuel!

HUshipper: (whispering) Shit's gonna hit the fan. BUT the end is in sight. I believe this story might end at chapter 60.

HU4LIFEBITCHES: I left for 6 months, not a year, dear. I know the chapters seem short sometimes but I always make sure I hit 3 pages for these stories. The only story with a 6 page standard, is my Fall Out Boy fic To Own A Seraphim. I don't know a lot about My Little Pony... (nervous silence).

ZeroPerfection: Aron's a homophobe, remember? He's as straight as a line in this story. Mr. Monster makes me feel old but thanks, dear. Hope you had a happy thanksgiving.

AceTheSquishy: Would you look at that? Aron didn't. Let me share a tiny little secret with you. I had no idea how Jordon knew until you all commented "Aron did it!" and my head went "too predicable. Let's go for Funny instead". So this idea was out of the blue but it works!
