Somewhere located on the heart of the South Pacific Ocean was a collection of small islands that were home to one of the most popular vacation destinations aside from Las Pegasus. This was the location of Horsolulu. A tropical getaway resort that sported one large city area and tourist destination on its main island while the other smaller islands featured more rural vacation destinations. It was at the hotel of one of the most rural islands, Northwest Horsolulu, that the newlyweds had decided to make their stay for their honeymoon. It had also been a surprise for everyone, but the couple had known that Juniper had chosen the location. She had also figured that the new couple wouldn't be hounded by fans as badly as if they had stayed at the main island. For the moment, Twilight was sitting on one of the two beds of the bedroom of their luxury suite, which Juniper had covered the expenses herself, as well as some other benefits like room service. Otherwise, the newlyweds might have taken a more modest room. For the moment, Twilight was currently looking at various pamphlets and brochures in deciding what they could do during their two-week stay.

"Now let's see," said Twilight as she looked at a paper she was using to create a schedule, "I know for sure that I want to see the island's observatory and this island's natural history museum... and who couldn't resist a romantic walk along the beach at sunset. I think Rarity packed me some tropical dresses... surprisingly..."

Twilight looked to her closed luggage and then at herself as she was in her usual attire.

"Can you now wear a hat with your dress, Twilight?" Isaac asked as he walked out of the bathroom, but his face wasn't visible to see at the moment. "I really want to put a freshly picked hibiscus flower in my wife's hair." Twilight giggled to herself. Being called his wife just made her feel all giddy inside.

"Alright sweetie, if that will make you... YAAAAAAAAH!" Twilight turned around to face Isaac and screamed. A suspenseful tone was heard as Isaac stood before Twilight with his face covered in a slimy green goop.

"What's wrong?" Isaac asked innocently.

"You look like you washed your face in bog slime!" Twilight pointed out. Isaac blinked and then laughed.

"Twilight, this is that facial mask cream that Rarity gave me," Isaac explained, "It's supposed to be great for my complexion and makes my face glow." Twilight just rolled her eyes at him.

"Since when do you take this kind of advice from Rarity?" Twilight remarked. Isaac sighed.

"You know how stressful my work is, Twilight. She said this is supposed to help me relax in a way," Isaac pointed out, "Besides what did you expect to happen when I have seven girls and three smaller girls as best friends? And one of them is now my wife? I'm bound to spend too much time with them that I pick up certain habits." Twilight giggled to herself.

"Just wash off your face, please," Twilight asked sweetly. Isaac smiled, even though it was difficult to see it on his face, as he headed back into the bathroom and closed the door. Twilight then just continued to try and work on her schedule, but after a while, she found herself frustrated with what she wanted to do, pushed the pamphlets away, and groaned.

"What's wrong, honey?" Isaac asked, his face now clean as he came out of the bathroom and walked up and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I just don't know how to plan out our vacation here," Twilight complained, "It's not like anybody told us we were coming to Horsolulu beforehand!" Isaac chuckled.

"Ever thought maybe we could just... not plan and go have fun?" Isaac proposed as Twilight's eyes shot wide open.

"Do you remember who you married?" Twilight commented as she looked at Isaac skeptically.

"A beautiful girl who I see as my Princess," Isaac replied. Twilight just rolled her eyes.

"Yes, and?" Twilight replied.

"She's a famous card designer and can be a little too organized," Isaac pointed out.

"You're treading on thin ice, my husband," Twilight warned.

"Sorry," said Isaac, "I just don't want you to stress yourself out. This is our honeymoon! Let's just head out of the hotel and take a look around for today. Then tomorrow, we can organize a schedule together. That sound fair?" Twilight just sighed as she set her materials down and gave a nod.

Isaac then grabbed Twilight's hairbrush and started stroking it gently against her hair. Twilight just sighed contently and let Isaac do his job. However, a sneaky little smirk appeared on Twilight's face, she started flicking her hair about. Several times, the end of her hair hit Isaac's nose, making it difficult for him to concentrate before he dropped the brush and turned away.

"AH-CHOO!" Isaac sneezed loudly as he grabbed a tissue to wipe his nose. Twilight just snickered to herself.

About half an hour later, Twilight's hair shined in the sunlight. Twilight rubbed a hand through her hair to enjoy how soft it was.

"Alright," said Twilight as she climbed off the bed, "Let's get going."

Isaac smiled, put on his cap and his usual attire Twilight like to see him wear, and they exited their bedroom, which led into the living room of their suite. Inside the main room were a living room and kitchen. The kitchen had an island counter on it, with a personal stove, refrigerator, and other kitchen shelves and cabinets. The living room had a couple of plush sofas, a low coffee table, and a music set along the opposite wall. In addition, Isaac noticed something outside on the balcony and headed in that direction instead.

"Honey?" Twilight asked as Isaac walked over to the balcony. He then began to climb the nearby tree filled with freshly grown hibiscus flowers and used his hand to pluck a yellow hibiscus. Twilight stood at the entrance to the balcony as Isaac landed next to her and placed the hibiscus flower into her hair behind the ear. Twilight just smiled as Isaac kissed her cheek.

The pair then left as they went to explore. It wasn't long before the two were now walking side by side along the beach. Along the way, they had run into a person making shaved ice and were holding the little shaved ice cones in their hands.

"Mmmm... this pineapple-coconut flavor is really good," said Twilight as she took another lick, "Try it, honey!" Twilight presented her snow cone to Isaac, who took a modest taste.

"Not bad," Isaac replied as he held his own closer to his mouth, "Though I prefer my strawberry-lemonade." He took another generous lick of his. Twilight just smiled.

"What?" asked Isaac innocently.

"You're supposed to offer me some of yours," Twilight pointed out, slightly annoyed.

"Really?" Isaac replied, still keeping a clueless demeanor, as he took another bite from his cone. "Why would I do that?" Twilight snorted.

"Gee... I don't know... cause I'm your wife?" Twilight retorted indignantly. Isaac laughed.

"You're so cute when you get mad," Isaac remarked. Twilight rolled her eyes at him when he presented his cone for her to taste.

"Help yourself, my princess," Isaac said to her gently. Twilight giggled as she tasted, hummed happily, and then slammed his cone between his eyes, making him look like a unicorn with a horn on his head.

"Exterior Brain freeze! God damn it!" Isaac flinched from the cold, ice hitting his forehead. Twilight just laughed as Isaac removed the ruined snow cone off his forehead and tossed it away into a nearby trash can. Twilight was still chuckling to herself when he got a sly smirk on his face and grabbed her cone.

"Isaac, no... no!" Twilight pleaded, trying to be stern, but then ran for her life, "Don't! Don't! EEEK!" Isaac followed after her. Their little chase continued until Isaac stuck Twilight's cone into her forehead, making Twilight yelp from the cold, ice on her forehead as it slowly fell on her glasses. Now it was Isaac's turn to laugh... until Twilight forced open his mouth and shoved the rest of the icy contents into his mouth. Twilight was in tears from laughing seeing Isaac scream from a now internal brain freeze.

Once Isaac recovered and Twilight cleaned her glasses, the couple then made their way towards a little café that sat along the edge of the beach. They had been having so much fun together that it was nearly lunchtime. The fact that they had skipped breakfast and had only a snow cone made it pretty obvious they were both hungry. Especially Isaac, as he found it to be his favorite meal of the day. The boy's stomach gave a loud growl that startled Twilight.

"Whoa! Easy there!" Twilight exclaimed as Isaac blushed.

"Sorry," Isaac replied when Twilight's stomach growled just as loudly. Now it was Twilight's turn to blush. Isaac chuckled.

"I love you so much," he told her sweetly. Twilight giggled and kissed him before they found themselves an empty table and took a seat. It was then their waitress, a young woman came up to their table and gasped.

"Isaac and Twilight Sparkle!" she exclaimed as she knew who the World Champ and famous card designer were, "It's an honor to have you two to visit my little café! My name is Sunny Sunshine. What can I get for you?"

"Could we... have a menu first?" Isaac pointed out slowly. Sunny blinked before she blushed.

"Oh r-r-right!" she stuttered, "I'm so sorry! I'll... I'll be right back!" She quickly zipped away and then returned holding two menus in her hands.

"I'm sorry, I guess I got a little ahead of myself," Sunny said sheepishly.

"It's alright," said Twilight with a smile, "But can you please keep it down? We would like to just enjoy what your café has to offer without being hounded by fans."

"Oh of course," Sunny replied, "I'll give you a few minutes to look at the menu. Can I interest you in our special pineapple-lemonade?" Twilight and Isaac smiled at each other.

"Sounds fruity. We'll take one each," Isaac replied as Sunny smiled and headed off. Isaac was just mumbling to himself when he felt two shadows appear behind his head.

"Huh?" Isaac replied as he turned and saw two girls their age standing before him with giddy smiles on their faces. The one on the left was a pastel green girl with dark brown hair. Her hair was tied up into a mini bun with a pastel yellow ribbon. The girl on the right was a cherry-colored girl with white and light pink hair. She also had a glittery gem-studded cherry blossom barrette clip on the side of her hair.

"Can I help you, girls, with something?" asked the boy raising his eyebrow.

"Hi, I'm Sakura," said the cherry girl to Isaac, "and this is my sister Anemone. We just wanted to say that we're, like, your biggest fans!" Isaac just blinked as Twilight looked with interest.

"Well... thank you," said Isaac slowly. "This is my wife, Twi..."

"Oh! Twilight Sparkle!" said Anemone excitedly. "You're so pretty and so cute! Poke!" Twilight was left a little baffled when the green-colored girl used a fairy wand that had a lemon slice on the top and tap her cheek. Sakura chuckled.

"What the hell was that?" asked Isaac.

"My little sister, despite her love for flowers, really loves lemons," Sakura replied, "she likes to pretend she is a lovable lemon fairy!"

"I spread hugs and pokes to all who need a smile," Anemone replied. Twilight giggled since it reminded them of a certain pink-haired girl back home.

"Well, what can my husband and I do for you?" Twilight asked. If one had paid close attention to Sakura's face, they would have noticed for a brief second that the smile on her face disappeared for a moment before reappearing again.

"My big sister and I just wanted some autographs," Anemone replied as she pulled out some notepads for the two of them. Twilight signed them first and Isaac did the second. Sakura started making light squeals as Isaac signed her notepad.

"Please put 'to my precious sweetie Sakura'," the cherry girl asked giddily. Isaac rolled his eyes discreetly as he did what was asked and then handed Sakura her notepad, which she grabbed with her hands and tucked into her sling purse.

She then grabbed Isaac's arm as she wanted to get a closer look at his duel disk and saw his cards. Isaac pulled his arm away as he could feel Sakura's hands feeling him.

"Thanks!" the two girls said excitedly before walking away. Twilight gave her husband a smirk.

"Have fun with your fan-girls?" Twilight asked with a smirk, her jealousy was not that well hidden from him.

"No," Isaac replied bluntly, "That Sakura girl was making me feel rather uncomfortable."

"Well, they're gone now, so let's find something to order and get some lunch, I'm starving," Twilight replied.

"Good idea," said Isaac with a laugh. It didn't take long before they did find something to order and ate quietly until they heard the sound of a radio nearby. Summer had used her hand to raise the volume a bit when the music was replaced by an audience applauding.

"And now back to our program", said radio host number one, "the latest news is that the World Champion of Duel Monsters has finally gotten hitched. And get this, the girl he's been talking about and keeping a secret on who his fiancé is for years, why it's none other than the newest card designer who's been getting some popularity herself, Twilight Sparkle. And word has it that they're spending their lovely honeymoon somewhere here."

"Yeah, probably to find the right spot to throw the Prince overboard," said radio host number two as some background audience laughter was heard, "I mean, what did she see in the guy?" Isaac flinched at that comment. Even Twilight was taken aback by the brash comment.

"Isn't he just some baggage that the Big 5 threw away when they were cleaning out the last bit of their careers," radio host number three remarked, "Bet you anything, they rigged his duel where he became World Champion. And every other duel he's had, there's no way he could have held onto his rank for well over a year at this point."

"I hear they pay off his opponents so that they can lose and make the kid look good," radio host number four added, "I still say he cheated his way to get to the top!" Some murmurs from the audience showed that they agreed with them.

"I know, right?" radio host number two added, "Who has ever heard of someone being buddies with the Big 5 on their own!? It's not realistic!"

"Isaac himself is unrealistic!" radio host number four added. "Just the fact that people see him as in the same category as these legendary duelists is downright disgusting! He's SO fake!" The audience from the radio cheered.

"I bet those friends of his just stuck him in somewhere during their great feats of heroism just so he could have credit for saving the day!" radio host number one added, making the audience cheer louder.

"He thinks he's part of that group of girls when really, he's just nothing but an add-on!" radio host number two remarked. It was then, Summer arrived at the table, and Isaac was looking most upset.

"Excuse me!" said Twilight quickly, "can you please change the radio station? It's upsetting my husband!" Summer looked puzzled until she heard some laughter from the radio. Summer gasped and quickly changed the station as the audience was laughing even harder.

"I'm so, so, sorry," said Summer sadly, "I wasn't paying attention to the radio and I didn't realize they were on the air!"

"Who are those people anyway?" Twilight demanded, "and what gives them the right to insult my husband like that?" Summer sighed.

"They are the hosts of Horsolulu's most popular radio program, The Saddle," Summer explained, "their radio station is here on this island. They like to discuss current events in the world... and make hurtful insults about people."

"Well that doesn't seem right," Twilight remarked, "My husband and I just might have to pay a visit to this radio station and give them a piece of our minds."

"What's the point, Twily?" Isaac replied sadly. "No matter where I go, people find ways to mock and heckle me."

"Hey, don't let those jerks get to you," said Twilight as she held his hand, "Sunny went to alot of trouble to make this delicious lunch for us. Plus, you've handled worst insults than this. Let's eat and go explore the town, okay?" Isaac looked at her sadly and then smiled.

"Okay," said Isaac as he looked at the food, "the food is delicious..."

Sunny chuckled as she let the couple enjoy their meal. Once the two had finished and paid for their meal, which Isaac gave Sunny a generous tip, they headed towards the town. They were waiting patiently for the traffic signal to change so they could cross the street when Isaac kissed his wife on the cheek. Twilight returned the gesture, making Isaac chuckle.

"It's nice when the love you give gets returned," said Isaac as Twilight leaned against his side a bit as Isaac held her with one of his arms. They had barely finished crossing the streets when they ran into two familiar fangirls.

"Hey there!" said Sakura.

"Hello girls," said Twilight, trying to stay polite and cheerful, "what brings you here?"

"Well," said Sakura as she walked up to Isaac's face, "Since we actually live here, we thought you two like to have a tour of the town to know where all the coolest places are." Sakura batted her eyelashes at Isaac.

"Good grief," Isaac groaned with an eye roll, "We appreciate the thought girls... but my wife and I just wanna..."

"We'd be happy to take you up on that offer!" Twilight interrupted, making Isaac look at her with a slightly opened mouth.

"Excellent!" said Sakura as she wrapped her arm around Isaac's arm, "step right this way!" She continued to try gazing into Isaac's eyes as he just looked away and gave his wife a "why'd you say yes" look on his face. Twilight just giggled to herself as Anemone walked along the side of her sister.

For the most part, the tour was actually very enjoyable. Sakura showed them all the coolest places in town, like a local outdoor marketplace, the town's personal arcade (where Twilight had to drag Isaac out of the building since he got hooked on Pac-man but also to avoid partaking in too many duels to blow their cover), several local diners and dives famous for classic eats and island exclusive specialties, the observatory, the island's local library (Isaac had to drag Twilight out of that building), the local pawn shop where Twilight wanted to do some "antiquing" at some point, and even a spa. The only downer was the fact that everywhere the four individuals went, some of the town's people would be making some rude comments about Isaac. Twilight continued to encourage her husband to not let it bother him, but she knew Isaac was feeling hurt by the remarks. And as cute as it looked seeing Anemone telling some of them off and threatening them with "hard lemon pokes", it did very little in cheering up the boy.

By late afternoon, the group had stopped at the last location of the town tour, which was a small little house that was home to a hula dancing school. Isaac and Twilight couldn't help but awe at seeing dozens of little native kids, boys, and girls learning how to do their island's native dance. Plus the young kids were more than excited to see both Isaac and Twilight, which really helped brighten the former's mood. And both Anemone and Sakura were experienced enough to show the couple the dance themselves. The hula was a bit difficult dance to learn because it required a person to balance and sway using only their legs. So with each of the newlyweds wearing a grass skirt, a white tank top, leafy bracelets on their hands, and a leafy crown on their heads. They began their own lesson with the two sisters. Isaac was rather impressed to see Twilight was a much faster learner at the hula than he was.

"You're really good at this," said Isaac surprised as Twilight just had her eyes closed and embraced the music.

"And you said that I couldn't dance," Twilight remarked as Isaac blushed.

"I was talking about your freestyle!" Isaac retorted, "You're clearly good at tap and ballet!" Twilight chuckled and just continued to dance gracefully when Isaac was still feeling rather stiff.

"Try to relax a little more," said Sakura as she got rather close to the boy, "Just embrace the music of the island!" She battled her eyelashes at him again. If Isaac hadn't felt uncomfortable before trying to hula dance, he certainly did now. Twilight took notice when she danced over to Sakura and roughly bumped her out of the way, causing the cherry girl to crash somewhere in the background.

"Need a rescue?" Twilight asked him with a smile on her face. Isaac smiled back.

"My hero," said Isaac, feeling better and finally was able to move a little more fluently. Sakura recovered as she got to her feet and just watched the two dance together. She growled jealously.

"Oh, it is on, Princess!" Sakura snarled to herself. Anemone noticed her sister's face.

"What are you up to?" Anemone asked suspiciously.

"Watch your tone and bud out little sister," said Sakura indignantly and went back to the couple. Anemone glared at her.

"Don't make me give you hard lemon pokes," Anemone warned, but said that to herself.

Soon the sun began to set in the sky as the four individuals made their way back to the hotel Twilight and Isaac were staying at.

"Well, thank you two so much for the tour of the town," said Isaac, "This should help my wife and I plan out our stay here."

"But we only showed you the town, Mr. World Champion," Anemone pointed out.

"Just Isaac, please," he told her gently, "same goes for my wife. No need for formalities with us. We consider you guys our friends." Anemone was a little surprised while Sakura bounced giddily on her feet.

"Oh... okay, Isaac," Anemone replied, "As I was saying, there's even more fun to do around the island, especially the beach and the mountains!" Isaac and Twilight exchanged smiles with each other.

"Well, would you girls mind if we continued the island tour tomorrow?" Twilight offered. Sakura and Anemone smiled excitedly.

"Ooooh, we would love to, Ms. Twilight." Anemone answered, "Oh! I mean... Twilight. We can show you our garden and our personal greenhouses where we grow our special flowers year around!"

"I'm guessing cherry blossoms and anemones?" Isaac asked since he had noticed those were the flowers that had in their hair.

"You got it, handsome," Sakura replied with a wink as Isaac made a face of disgust and annoyance.

"Well, we'll be seeing you tomorrow then," said Twilight, trying to get Isaac out of an awkward situation, "How's around 9-ish in the morning?"

"Works for us," said Sakura, "it was a pleasure getting to spend the day with you!" Sakura extended her hand to shake to Isaac, but Twilight grabbed it instead.

"Likewise," Twilight replied as she smiled at her. Sakura returned it, but in both of their eyes, Isaac could see the image of two girls staring each other down and the looks remained as they pulled away.

"We'll see you tomorrow," Anemone answered, "Hugs and Pokes to you all!" Twilight giggled as Isaac smiled.

"Same to you," Twilight answered as the two sisters left and the couple headed inside.

Isaac stayed rather quiet for the most part and remained that way too long after the sun had set, and the two of them were enjoying a little late-night coconut cake while watching some people spin and twirl wooden sticks that were on fire in the hotel patio area. The two individuals finished their routine by drinking some water and spewing it at one end of the sticks to make a giant flame appear. Twilight oohed in amazement as she and the crowd applauded. Isaac did as well, but his clapping was more half-hearted. He had something on his mind.

"Sweetheart," said Isaac as Twilight took a rather sloppy bite of her coconut cake.

"Yes?" Twilight asked with her mouth full of cake. Isaac was tempted to tell Twilight about bad manners, but he let it slide.

"Why did you suggest we spend more time with Sakura and Anemone?" asked the boy.

"What's wrong with spending time with our new friends?" the girl replied.

"Friends, I don't mind," said Isaac, "I mean, I have no problem with Anemone. It's just... If you hadn't noticed... Sakura... was getting a little too friendly with me."

"I know, honey," said Twilight as she took another bite of her cake and used her hand to wipe her cheeks, "But as long as I'm around, she can't hurt you."

"True, but she was making me feel very uncomfortable," said Isaac, "Like... "if Pinkie Pie had a crush on me" uncomfortable."

"Maybe when we see them again tomorrow, you can tell Sakura how you're feeling," said Twilight, "I'm sure if you tell how her behavior is bothering you, she'll back off."

"It's a good idea, honey," said Isaac as he took a bite of his cake and swallowed, "Guess I really did marry the smartest girl in the world." Twilight rolled her eyes.

"Okay, that was just... cheesy," Twilight remarked.

"But is it true," Isaac remarked as he leaned forward to kiss her, and Twilight returned the gesture. As they pulled away, they saw a woman who was clearly from the upper class looking at them snootily.

"What do you see in him, child?" she asked in her stuck-up manner, "He's not even that great."

"I clearly see alot more about him than you can!" Twilight retorted angrily as Isaac glared. The girl just huffed and walked away from them. Isaac growled angrily, as he slammed a hand to the table.

"What's wrong with me?!" Isaac snapped. Twilight set her chair next to him and rested her head against his shoulder.

"Absolutely nothing," said Twilight, "They're the ones with the problem." Isaac hummed and just held his wife close while staring at his unfinished cake. Twilight's eyes shifted from her husband to the slice of half-eaten cake.

"You gonna eat that?" Twilight asked with a large smile on her face. Isaac just smiled, rolled his eyes, and used his spoon to feed the cake slice to her. As good as the coconut cake was, he was still partial to chocolate.

The next morning, the two sisters wasted no time taking the couple over a large stretch of land that seemed to be as big as Sweet Apple Acres. The big difference was that the landscape was filled with various kinds of tropical and seasonal flowers and trees to boot. Since it was also late spring, most of the flowers were in full bloom, adding to the area's natural beauty.

"Whoa!" said Isaac and Twilight in amazement as they scanned and looked at all the types of flowers growing around the area.

They also noticed that the heart of the garden had a rather large extravagant fountain with a little statue on the top surrounded by a rather large-sized Gazebo structure above it.

"This is quite a lovely garden," said Isaac.

"You two must have worked really hard to make the place look so pretty," said Twilight.

"Well, it does take alot of work managing so many different types of flowers," Anemone answered, "Fortunately, we've got the library..."

"Library?! Did you say library!?" Twilight exclaimed excitedly as she zipped up to the lime green girl's face, leaning forward.

"Uhh... y-yeah," said Anemone timidly, "I-I can show you if you want me to."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" Twilight replied, bouncing on her feet excitedly.

"Alright, come and follow me," said Anemone with a giggle. Isaac was about to follow when Twilight turned around to face him.

"Sweetheart, didn't you want to speak to Sakura alone while I go check out the (squee) library?" Twilight asked her husband. Sakura was kind of surprised that Twilight would suggest that but was still excited to be alone with Isaac. Isaac just nodded nervously as Anemone led Twilight to their garden library. Isaac then turned to see Sakura, just smiling and batting her eyelashes at him. Isaac just sighed loudly.

"Sakura, we need to talk," said Isaac gently.

"What about cutie?" Sakura asked as she grabbed Isaac's duel disk on his arm and was taking it all in. Not to mention his cards slotted in as she grabbed them from the slot and began to nuzzle them. She looked up at the boy as Isaac breathed deeply to keep his cool and pulled his arm away. He also grabbed his cards from her hands as he put them into the deck holder on his belt.

"Sakura, I can tell you... like me..." Isaac said gently.

"Love is the better word," Sakura replied. Isaac grunted angrily.

"Sakura, I'm as much a believer in love at first sight as the next person," Isaac said firmly, "I mean that's sort of how it happened when I saw Twilight for the first time, but you're really making me feel uncomfortable when you keep getting in my face and trying to be all cute with me all the time!" Sakura just blinked.

"Y-y-you mean," Sakura stuttered, "you... don't... like me?" Sakura's eyes watered as she sat down on the bench and started to cry.

"Sakura..." Isaac said gently. He hadn't meant to make the cherry girl cry.

"S-s-s-sorry," Sakura croaked, "it's just... I do like you and... well... I had hoped I could get you to like me back... and... I... I just wanted..." Sakura was sobbing as Isaac sat next to her.

"Listen, Sakura," said Isaac, "I didn't mean to sound cruel. I'm just saying that you don't need to keep getting in my face and trying to make me like you. If you just try to be my friend, then I can like you in that manner. My wife won't object to that!"

"But I want more than that!" Sakura wailed.

"I'm sorry, Sakura," said Isaac, "But I already have my special someone. But if you need a friend who cares, I'd be more than happy to..."

!

What happened next, caught Isaac completely off-guard. Sakura quickly wrapped her arms around his neck...

and she had kissed him on the lips!

And before Isaac could push her off, Twilight had returned!

"Honey," she called out excitedly, "you should see all the cool books Anemone has on... GASP!"

Twilight was just in shock for a moment before her eyes watered and turned to run off.

Isaac then shoved Sakura off of him with so much force that she fell onto the ground. He was furious.

"Now look what you did!?" Isaac yelled at her before he took off and searched for his now distraught wife. Sakura just watched Isaac take off as she began to cry once more. It didn't take long before Isaac saw Twilight trying to run off as fast as her legs could take her, tears streaming down her face and glasses.

"Twilight! Twilight! Twilight, wait!" Isaac called out, but Twilight refused to stop. Isaac then got in front of her, bringing the girl to a stop.

"Twilight, please I..."

SMACK!

"Don't talk to me!" Twilight yelled angrily as she slapped him hard across the face. Isaac's head turned as he brought his hand to the spot where she hit him as he could feel the impact. "Just stay away from me, you cheating bitch!" Twilight then ran off around him and tried to take off before Isaac stopped in front of her again.

"Twilight, let me explain," said Isaac but Twilight ran around him again. Isaac stopped her once more, this time so quickly as Twilight slid right into him trying to stop. Isaac held her as she landed on top of him and sat up.

"Let go of me!" Twilight shouted, as Isaac gently but securely held her in his arms as she struggled to break free.

"Will you listen to me!" Isaac pleaded desperately, "What makes you think I would ever do that to you?"

"I saw you kissing her!" Twilight yelled.

"That doesn't mean I'm the one who did it!" Isaac replied, "She caught me by surprised and I couldn't move out of the way!"

"Likely story!" said Twilight, "You men are all the same!"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Isaac snapped back, "Do you really think that after all this time I spent staying committed to loving you and you alone that I would just go and kiss the first girl who asked me to?"

"YES!" Twilight screamed, leaving Isaac stunned as he finally let her go. He started to pant heavily as hot tears streamed down his face.

It wasn't from guilt or shame thought.

Isaac... had fury!

"You would choose to believe all those lies in your stupid, arrogant head, Twilight Sparkle," Isaac sobbed angrily, "instead of trying to listen to me or even think that this was just a misunderstanding and not me trying to betray you. You just assume the worst of me. This isn't the first time you've done that to me, and all I can say is... I'VE HAD IT! If you don't wanna be with me, then I won't stop you! And thank you so much for showing me that everything I ever believed in was just a lie!"

"And what's that suppose to mean?!" Twilight yelled back.

"No matter how hard I try to help others," Isaac croaked, "all my effort is completely meaningless because you people are all the same. No matter what I do, you'll always think one way of me and nothing else! You're no better than all those folks who spend their days tearing me apart from the inside out! I made the mistake of ever asking you to marry me!" Isaac had barely finished his sentence when Twilight had taken off and was running. She didn't pay attention as she fell. Surprisingly, Isaac just watched and didn't even see if Twilight was alright.

"And I made the mistake of ever falling in love with you! I hate you!" shouted Twilight as she got back up and ran.

"LOVE IS WORTHLESS!" Isaac screamed as loud as he could before he took off in the other direction and didn't look back. Twilight had heard him, but she just kept running in the opposite direction.

Isaac soon arrived at the beach where he had brought her yesterday. Several other people were just enjoying some fun at the beach, but Isaac clearly wasn't. He was fuming to himself as he kicked a sea shell along the surf and threw his cap on the ground.

"Stupid Twilight," Isaac grumbled, "I already felt bad enough having some girl try to put her lips against my own. Then you go and think I would enjoy it. I didn't spend most of my life being faithful to you to stab you in the back! But did you care! No!" Isaac then picked up several seashells chucking them back into the water. Isaac just huffed as he tried to calm himself down when a beach ball conked him in the head, leaving him dazed.

"Oops, sorry sir," said a young boy, "my sis isn't good with playing catch."

"I am so!" said the young girl, "You just throw too hard!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Never mind!" Isaac snapped irritably as he handed them the ball, "Just take your ball!" The two kids flinched as Isaac sternly gave them the ball, but the two kids just trembled nervously, not bothering to grab their ball.

"Oh great," Isaac retorted aloud as he dropped the ball in front of them, "now they think I'm some bad guy for yelling at them. Bet they'll tell their parents and they'll complain that I'm mean to kids. Then I'll be in the papers that I don't like little kids and UGGGGGGGH!" Isaac then crouched to the ground in frustration. He didn't even realize that the young siblings were still there, watching him vent.

"Are you okay, mister?" the young boy asked gently.

"No, I'm not," Isaac replied in depression as he sat up, "Just go have your fun with your sister and be nice to each other, I guess," Isaac then got up and was about to leave. The girl stopped him by his hand as she held his cap that he threw on the ground. Isaac just sighed as he grabbed it and put it on as he left. The two just watched him leave with puzzled looks on their faces.

Isaac then decided to just take a stroll about the town. He immediately found it a bad idea because he was still walking past people who would look at him and murmur comments about him. Isaac snarled as the demon inside of him was slowly coming out.

"Horsolulu, the best place to get away from it all. A tropical paradise!" Isaac retorted mockingly, "Blah! Yeah right! I outta have the son of bitch who came up that slogan put in prison for false advertisement!" As he passed by, he took notice that one person was struggling to carry a tall stack of boxes into one of the local shops. Suddenly the man lost his balance and all the boxes landed on top of him. A nearby girl, who looked young enough to be his daughter asked if he was alright. Isaac then kept walking and pretending he hadn't seen anything. Doing so made him feel a pain in his heart.

"Master, why didn't you help them out? You could have stopped the accident," said Mahad as he appeared with Mana as they felt their master's emotions.

"What good would it do? He'd probably just complain that I meddle in his business. He's practically doing that to that younger girl!" Isaac had been right at that. He could see from the corner of his eyes that the younger girl was being scolded by the older man. Isaac then headed further up the street where he saw a local smoothie shop that was very overcrowded. Customers were complaining about slow service, even when there appeared to be only one girl trying to be a waitress. She seemed to be getting the most of the complaints and was looking very overwhelmed.

"You could help her?" asked Mana as she saw Isaac walk by.

"Forget it," Isaac grumbled, "All that's gonna do is give those people a reason to blame their lack of patience on me! And I've had enough of people blaming me for their own miserable lives!"

"But Isaac, you're always willing to help..."

"ZIP IT!" shouted Isaac to his magicians. "Remember your place, you are my servants, just like all the other monsters in my deck. I am your master! You follow my command, my orders without any hesitation! You serve me! So when I say leave me the fuck alone, LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" yelled the boy.

Mahad and Mana heard Isaac's response. They didn't say anything, nor did they have an expression on their face. The two magicians just had a straight look on their faces. Both then bowed in front of their master and put their heads down.

"We apologize, Master. Your wish is our command." said the two in unison. They soon disappeared leaving the boy to have the time he requested to be by himself.

Isaac then saw his reflection in a puddle of water, which showed the bitterness on his face.

"They don't deserve smoothies if you ask me," Isaac said to himself as his reflection glared at him.

"Neither do you, Mr. Selfish," his reflection remarked as Isaac growled.

"Who are you calling selfish?!" Isaac yelled at his reflection, "You're supposed to be on my side! I don't like you anymore!" Isaac then stomped hard into the puddle, getting himself wet.

The puddle now showed the boy's inner demon as Isaac's eyes changed for a few seconds. He looked at the watch on his wrist. It was the gift that Twilight had gotten him for his birthday years ago and was her way of saying she loved him. He growled as he grabbed it from his wrist. Isaac looked to destroy it to get rid of the final reminder of the mistake he made of marrying Twilight. Instead, he just put it in the pocket of his unzipped hoodie and looked back at the puddle that showed his inner demon. The boy then began to walk off. Little did he know that a certain colored girl had been sitting at a nearby bench pretending to read a newspaper when she lowered it, revealing a very sad and tear-stained face.

"What have I done?" Sakura asked herself in shame.
