"I'm happy for Sunset and Twilight, I really am. But a part of me just feels, you know, longing. Like, the time I spent with Sunset when she was my girlfriend, you know, back when she was evil and crazy? I just... really enjoyed the time we had while it lasted." Flash sighed as he conveyed his feelings. "That's why I came straight to you, you're one of the only people I can trust."

Enrico hummed as he listened to Flash confess to him about his still-present feelings for Twilight and Sunset. Even though the Twilight he loved was the one from the Pony Dimension of Equestria, he still felt a connection to the Twilight of his world as well as Sunset from their brief period of dating.

The taller of the two mulled over what Flash had told him. To be frank, he was inexperienced with love. But he does understand the basic concept behind the simple yet complex activity of the brain. It is one individual's attraction to another individual, this ranging from a physical attraction, emotional attraction, or materialistic attraction.

But even knowing the basic concepts, he is out of his comfort zone when it comes to romance.

"And you came to me because…?" He trailed off, allowing Flash to fill in the blanks.

"Well, you are the sanest of the group," the rocker admitted.

"Fair point," the soldier responded before sighing. "Unfortunately, I've not much experience with romance beyond the textbook definition."

That deflated Flash's hopes.

"But there might be someone who could help us," Enrico said, making Flash curious.

Who exactly did the tall teen have in mind?

"So you figured Gamma could help?" Flash asked as Enrico nodded, the two young men having visited the android girl in question.

"To improve a relationship, one must understand what it is based on. Your feelings towards Mother Units Alpha and Beta are based on love. Thus, the logical step towards improvement would be to further analyze the concept of love. Love as we know it, is..."

Gamma paused as she began scanning before her eyes dilated in horror when she came up with zero results, clutching her head as her eyes went bluescreen with red question marks on them.

"What... Is... Love...?"

"Gamma, kiddo, you don't have to think too hard about it." Flash awkwardly said.

"Unbelievable," Enrico groaned, slapping himself on the forehead. "How the hell do you not know the basic definitions of love?"

"I… I… I… I…" Gamma was a broken record now, twitching as she tried to come up with an answer.

"Welp, it can't be helped," Enrico said to Flash. "Hold her still for a moment."

"Wait, what?!" Flash did not get an answer as Gamma was suddenly shoved into his arms as Enrico held up a long cable.

"Where's her port? I'm gonna shove in as much info on the subject as I can into her hard drives!" Enrico lunged at Gamma.

"Wait, dude! NO!" Flash, still grabbing Gamma, dodged and began to run around the room as Enrico chased them both.

After convincing Enrico to not overload Gamma's hard drives with so much info to the point she would explode, Flash decided that the next best thing was to go to Berry Punch's pub and just drink it out.

"I dunno, man," the rocker told the soldier, both of them drinking mugs of beer. "I just… I know the Twilight I fell for was from that Equestrian dimension and all, but…" he took a swig from his mug. "I still have feelings for Twilight, y'know?"

"Right, right," Enrico nodded absentmindedly as he took a sip from his own mug. "But it's rather apparent that the Twilight of our dimension is not the same as that Twilight," he said.

"I- HIC! -know!" Great, now Flash was starting to get buzzed. Enrico was getting a sense of déjà vu. Oh yes, when he and Dominator took Sunset out to drink and get her to be more honest with her own feelings towards the purple-skinned bookworm.

"But I- HIC! -still wanna… love Twi-Twi…"

"Twi-Twi?" Enrico looked at his own mug and began to down the remaining contents.

This was a mistake.

Realizing that heading to the pub was a bust, Enrico took Flash to somewhere where they can relax and unwind. He took Flash back to the townhouse and had messaged a few of the boys to help him.

Right now, they were all in the common area, with Flash lying down on the couch like a makeshift therapy chair while Enrico, Ben, Roscco, and the Eds were on other chairs.

"Do you really have to wear those?" Enrico asked Ben, Ed, and Eddy, who were all wearing therapist outfits. Or, at least, what they thought were outfits that therapists wear.

"YES!" Ben exclaimed, a pad and pen in hand as he sat next to Flash.

"Zo!" Eddy spoke up in a stereotypically hammy German accent. "Vat zeemz to ve zhe provlem?!"

"That's not how Germans speak, Eddy," Double-D said, exasperated.

"I dunno, doc," Flash said dejectedly. "It's just… I'm happy that Sunset and Twilight are a thing, but… I still feel like I have a chance with Twilight."

"Vell, if you truly feel like you have a chance vith zis Twilight, zhen zhe vest option for you is to voo Miss Twilight!"

"Dude, isn't that, like, 'Lesbian Erasure?'" Ben asked. The Omni-Elemental felt a cold chill gripping him. He turned to see that Enrico had the upper half of his face covered in shadows. The soldier suddenly stood up and grabbed what looked like the unholy hellspawn of a sledgehammer, a rocket, and a buzzsaw.

"Benjamin Shigura…" his voice was eerily calm. "Wasn't it you who told me that people can change, all the way back in the Cul-De-Sac?"

Ben gulped. "Ah! Ehehehe… It was a slip of the tongue, buddy! C'mon, Bro! You wouldn't hurt li'l ole me, right?"

Enrico simply stepped towards him. "Wasn't it you that told me that a person's preferences can change with time and proper motivation?"

By now, the bludgeoning tool was being dragged across the ground. All the while, the soldier was eerily calm.

Ben made like a tree and left as fast as he could, screaming at the top of his lungs.

"GET YOUR INDECISIVE FUCKNUGGET PASTRY ASS BACK HERE, BOI!" Enrico roared out as he gave chase, activating the Red Comet to give him a much-needed boost in speed. "I'LL SHOW YOU A THING OR TWO ABOUT BEHAVIORAL DEVELOPMENT!"

"MERCY!"

"YOU'VE FORFEITED YOUR MERCY PRIVILEGES! NOW TAKE YOUR PUNISHMENT LIKE A MAN!"

The rest sweat-dropped as the other two teens faded from view.

"Well…" Double-D coughed into his fist. "That was a thing."

"Yeah, no kidding," Eddy said, dropping the German accent.

"Anyways," Roscco picked up where Eddy left off. "Now, Flash. I understand that you have lingering feelings for Twilight but pursuing her while she is in a relationship with Sunset can have dangerous consequences."

"I know," Flash groaned.

"Not to be true, Flash-Boy!" Rolf spoke up, entering the room.

"What do you mean, Stretch?" Eddy asked.

"In Go-Go Land of the Free, perhaps that is case, but in City-Named-After-Horse-Terms it is possibility."

"Wait, what?" Roscco's eyebrow rose as Rolf laid down a book titled 'Laws and Conventions of Canterlot City.'

"Holy shit," Eddy spoke up. "You mean to tell me you've been reading that?! That thing's as big as the chairs!"

He was not exaggerating, for the book was in fact the same size as the chairs he and the others were sitting on.

"Alright, lemme see what's got Rolf to interject," Roscco said, flying through the pages.

"Let see here… Huh? Huh. Oh!" His eyes widened in surprise.

"What?! What?! C'mon, Double-C, tell us!" Eddy demanded. Double-D peered over Roscco's shoulder and saw what the green-haired teen was surprised about.

"A Polyamory Act? Unbelievable, they have an Honest-To-God law that allows for multi-person relationships to be pursued?"

"Yeah," Roscco responded, as baffled as Double-D was. "It says here that 'As long as all individuals in the polyamorous relationship consent, they can apply to make their relation legal.' So, that means…"

"Rock & Roll Flash-Boy has a chance with Brainy Twilight-Girl and Bacon Haired Sunset-Girl!" Rolf exclaimed with a wide toothy smile. But that smile went away when he noticed that two people were absent. "Where are Elemental Ben-Boy and Too Clever By Half Enrico-Boy?"

Loud crashes and sounds of thunder answered him.

"C'MERE, YOU ILLITERATE FUCK BIRD! I'VE GOT A HAMMER WITH YOUR NAME ON IT!"

"NO! PLEASE! MERCY!"

"AGAIN! YOU'VE FORFEITED YOUR MERCY PRIVILEGES WHEN YOU SAID THAT RETARDED TERM! NOW GET OVER HERE AND FACE YOUR END!"

"SOMEONE HELP!"

"That should be your answer, Rolf," Double-D said, pointing out the window where they can clearly see Enrico chasing after Ben.

"Honestly, you'd think that being an Omni-Elemental, he'd be able to stop Enrico," Roscco said.

"That looks fun," Rolf said. "Rolf wishes to join!"

Roscco sighed. "By all means, Happy hunting."

"ROLF SHALL BRING GLORY TO THE OLD COUNTRY!"

"What's going on?" Marie asked as the Kanker Sisters came back from a shopping trip with Rarity.

"Ben said something that upset Enrico and now they're in a game of Tom & Jerry," Roscco explained. "Wanna join in?"

The three sisters looked at each other before grinning. Lee took out a spiked metal bat, Marie pulled out a bonesaw, and May readied an honest-to-god chainsaw.

"LET US AT 'EM!"

French Narrator: Two Days Later...

"Love Advice! Free Love Advice!" Eddy said as he, Double-D, Ed, Ben (sporting a sledgehammer imprint on his face and a spearhead sticking out of his shoulder), Enrico, and Roscco were standing at a single desk while several girls who needed help on their relationships or confessing to the girls, they liked came to them. So far, they consisted of Sweetie Belle, her girlfriend Silver Spoon, Lyra Heartstrings, Peridot, and Luna Loud. Heck, even one of their teachers, Lena 'Tracer' Oxton came to them for advice.

"Well, I must say, Eddy, this is the most altruistic scam ever. You don't even charge them a quarter!" Double-D said as Eddy smirked at his pal.

"Hey, you can't put a price on love, Double-D. That's what my dad always told me!"

Meanwhile, a girl with elf-like ears and green hair with a streak of brown named Amity Blight scowled as she walked past Twilight and Sunset.

"Darn it! I can't believe she got the highest score again. Just you wait, Sparkle. You won't be Top Student for much longer!" Amity thought. "Oh well, I'll just have to study even harder for the next-!"

Amity stopped when she noticed a girl with light brown skin and dark brown hair walking down the hall and reading a book from the Good Witch Azura book series. A tinge of pink forming on her cheeks, Amity hid behind the opposite wall.

"Oh no, it's that Noceda girl again! Come on Amity, we've been over this! YOU! DON'T! LIKE! HER! You're a Blight! You can't risk falling off your throne!"

Amity's mind then began drifting elsewhere. "No matter how funny she is... or brave... or lovably stupid... Or how much she likes the Azura series, or..."

Amity was snapped out of her thoughts when an explosion rocked the school, causing her to jump back and into Luz's arms, the other girl catching her out of reflex.

"WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT?!"

"It came from the Home Economics Room!"

"GAMMA! Put that soldering iron down!" Twilight scolded.

"Oh, I see. Class 1-A has Cooking Class today. Things tend to blow up when they do, especially with Gamma as the new student."

"Honestly! What are those nitwits thinking?!" Amity asked in annoyance.

"Oh, speaking of which, you're from Class 2-A, right? Nice to meet you! I'm Luz Noceda from Class 2-C. What's your name?"

Amity then immediately realized she was in Luz's arms. After a pregnant pause, her entire face turned cherry red as steam emitted from her head. Before she could reply, Applejack walked by with a nervously blushing Rarity in her arms.

"First time?" The Cowgirl asked playfully as Luz looked confused while Amity covered her steaming face, letting out a muffled cry into her hands.

Crydius groaned as he left the school premises. He honestly did not intend to have the Eds drag him into their Love Advice scam. As he pondered on how the day could get any worse, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"Well, well, well. Would you look at that? Not every day you see a walking corpse come out of a high school. I leave you alone for two weeks and this is what happens?"

The girl speaking to him was a young woman with dark purple skin and raspberry hair done in a mohawk. Her eyes were electric blue, and she had a scar running over her right eye.

"Good thing I transfer here next month, or you might not make it to the end of the year. But hey, it's not all bad. In the right light, you look slightly better than you usually do."

"Oh my. Doth mine eyes deceive me? Is that really the infamous Tempest Shadow?" Sarcasm dripped from his mouth. "What? Did you get tired of scaring little kids, so you came to find someone who doesn't think a couple scars and an edgy haircut isn't edgy?"

Tempest Shadow had him in a headlock rather quickly. Not that he minded. With what he went through today, this was nothing.

"How about I give you a few scars of your own? Not that that will help your girly excuse for a face," she growled at him. "Should we start from scratch and pop that pretty little head off?"

"Oh no," Crydius responded with a shrug. "By all means, put me out of my misery, my big, strong, handsome, angel of death."

The two smirked before nuzzling their heads together.

"So… rough day, huh?" Tempest asked as she and Crydius sat down on a field of flowers.

"Ugh," Crydius groaned. "You have no idea! Remember that purple bookworm we've been keeping an eye on?"

Tempest nodded; eyebrow raised.

"She and her bacon-haired bae were having love troubles, so they came to me, of all people, for love advice."

"Wait, love advice?" Tempest was confused. "Seriously?"

"I know, right?!" Her boyfriend exclaimed. "What were they thinking? What about me screams 'romance?'"

"Yet another piece of evidence that this whole school is nuts," Tempest spoke.

"Oh, and you know what makes it even more nuts?" He asked her. She shook her head.

"That bacon-haired brat's ex is planning on enacting that polyamory law or whatever."

"Wait, seriously? Polyamory? That's a disaster waiting to happen."

"Oh yes," Crydius grinned. "And I'm thinking my Hellraisers should cause that disaster."

"HAH!" Tempest barked out a laugh. "Oh, I can tell it'll be great."

"But, that's not the craziest thing that's happened to me," he told her.

"Oh yeah? What could possibly be crazier than that?" She asked, silently dreading the answer.

Crydius was silent for a good while before revealing what had been bothering him to her.

"I have brothers. And they are here as students in this school."

Her jaw dropped.

"Hold up, hold up," she raised her hands to signal him to stop talking for a bit. "You? Having brothers?"

"Yep," he popped. "Apparently we were all separated from birth since our old man is this retardedly named demon god or whatever."

"Heh?" Tempest blinked, tilting her head in confusion. "Your father… is a demon god?"

"His name is Velhallen Beo and yes, it sounds super retarded," Crydius and Tempest shared a giggle at that.

"So," she grinned. "Mind telling me about them? Your brothers?"

He smiled back and began to tell her what he knows so far about his long-lost brothers.

Next Time: Helping Gamma!

Special thanks to Enrico for taking the time to work things out with this chapter as I didn't know what to do with Flash joining Sunset and Twilight's relationship.
