Chapter 54: A Little Bit Of Monika In My Life

The Elements of Harmony and Sunset Shimmer were currently dining out at Gringotts Steak House for the evening. They were discussing Daring Do: Rescue Organization and their free ticket to watch a live shooting of a scene. Rainbow Dash, the supposed ringleader of this whole fanatic of the show was enjoying some tacos, with Twilight, Smurfette and Vanellope seated nearer to the athlete, all having different meals. Twilight was having steak, Smurfette enjoying her pancakes and Vanellope tucking into cake. The other members of the group, all having their meal choices were stoked to watch DD:RO perform their tricks on stage. Not alot of people were inside Gringotts Steak House at the time, giving the girls free space.

"I still can't believe how super duper exciting this is!". Rainbow pushed her plate aside, finishing her meal. Her mood said it all to the rest of the group. "Daring Do: Rescue Organization, on a live set!".

"I know. My theory is that they want some familiar faces to boost their viewings and TV ratings, ensuring a good show and the fact that it will never get cancelled by money grubbing cash cows!". Twilight answered, the second girl to finish her dinner.

"I just don't want anything to happen while it's going on". Fluttershy grew concerned over the safety of the Harmonizers watching a live shoot. Rainbow noticed this grow on her pegasus friend and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her forward.

"Relax, Flutters. This is easy talking right here! You're hanging out with Sticks too often, it's makin' you question everything".

"Is there a definite reason as to why she's not with us right now?".

Some of them, including Rainbow shrugged.

"Uh!". Pinkie comprehended.

"The last time I went to a movie shoot, I couldn't bare to witness my next move". Sunset moved aside her plate. Fluttershy's kinda right, girls. Safety does come first".

The enabled the timid shy girl to smile faintly, as someone who was interrupted from just watching a shoot.

"I understand, Sunset. We cannot see you get hurt, or any one of us. I just need to control our excitment! YEEE!".

The door to Gringotts Steak House opened up, revealing to the girls Sticks, along with 4 other girls. Applejack saw the badger first and wanted to ponder why she wouldn't hang out like good times sake.

"Sticks?". The farm girl asked, but to no avail.

The badger chose a vacant seat near to the Harmonizers and was to busy to notice her usual friends. 4 Japanese friends were going to treat her like new to enroll in a project.

"What is she doing?". Rarity wanted to deliver the question, allowing shrug responses from Rainbow and Vanellope.

Sticks walked up the counter, waiting in line for one person to finish. She was about to get her own meal when she panned her head to the left and noticed the 11 girls she used to hang out with all of the time. Sticks facepalmed hard in response, but kept her cool and walked over.

"So, I suppose you're here to, huh?". The badger answered, but some of them wondered why she didn't come in with the 11 of them and instead four other students of the same nationality.

"Quick question, dear: Why didn't you come in like the rest of us?". Rarity asked her. "Did something happen?".

"What are you talking about?".

"The group feels lackluster without you". Sunset spoke. "What's going on?".

"You're suddenly hanging out with those girls rather than us". Smurfette added.

"I assure you I'm still in this gang, but Monika wants me to enroll in the Literature Club along with Yuri, Sayori and Natsuki".

"Who's Monika?". Fluttershy asked.

"I believe she's talking to me". The girl with the old rose hair and white bow appeared next to Sticks. Meanwhile, the other 3 girls walked up to pay for their meals at the counter.

"This is Monika, the president of the Literature Club!". Sticks introduced her to those who haven't met her yet. For the girls like Applejack, Sunset and Rainbow, this was done for a reason.

"I have met some of you before, in Gym 2. Consider this introduction my pathway to the origins of Sticks' days at the academy before she met me and my crew".

"We share a connection, both having a favourable color".

"I'm more preferred to emerald green, since It serves a special connection to my eye color. This has always stuck with being part of my identity. I've no doubt Sticks' choice of green is the slime from the robotic mess she called a pet".

"I see". Twilight answered. "Are you still on board with the movie shoot?".

"Of course I am! I don't want this meet and greet to become the literal 'green with envy' if I don't hang out with my family!".

"I see these are the ones who you've stuck with the most throughout your journeys, Sticks". Monika spoke. "The ones you feel are the most loyal and upmost about who you really are".

"Anyway, I'm going to get my dinner". The badger concluded, leaving the girls with Monika. Some of them wondered what the route Sticks was taking was going to be worth it.

"A Literature Club, you say? Twilight, wanna help out Monika?".

"Uhm...will this affect the movie shoot?".

"Movie shoot...? Is there something I'm not a part of". Monika grew concerned.

"We've been invited to a movie shooting scene of Daring Do: Rescue Organization!". Rainbow explained with much awe.

"Oh...I'm not used to going to a movie shoot. I always find myself engrossed in writing poems to my friends".

"I understand. Have fun".

Monika turned her back from the girls and walked up to the counter to grab her dinner. Sticks already left for the other table with Yuri, Natsuki and Sayori, her one step goal of getting into the Literature Club seemed promising.
