I don't get it, why is the club being closed down today?
>"Well Shygirl, it seems that SOMEONE thought it was a good idea to put tinfoil in the microwave." says Miss Sting looking at one of the big bulky men.
>"I swear, i thought jiffy-pop could be microwaved!" he says raising his hands in defense.
B-but jiffy-pop has foil on it...
>He hangs his head low.
>Miss Sting sighs and shakes her head.
>"Listen, the club's gonna be closed for at least 3 days. That'll give me and Norman enough time to get two thirds of the place clean and workable. Just think of this as a kind of vacation."
But i like coming here. This is like a second home to me.
>Miss Sting smiles.
I-i mean in a metaphorical way.
>"I knew what you meant. Listen, if you care that much for it, how about you help me and Norman out a little? We need some supplies. Your dad got any black spray paint?"
Yes, i believe so.
>"How about wall filler?"
Yeah, i know we have some.
>"Great. Can you run over there and bring them here... i mean, if it's okay with your parents of course."
Oh, dad should be fine with it. He doesn't like using them anyway. Something about how remodeling isn't needed.
>"Well, remodeling is needed here. Go ahead and get going, the club'll be waiting right here for you."
>You nod and head off.
>Once you get to your house, you look through the garage for the black spray paint and the wall filler.
>Before you can exit, you are faced with your mother.
Um... the club needs help cleaning and remodeling so... um...
>"You really do like the place huh?" she asks.
>...
Yes. Very much.
>"Listen, i know i was a little harsh about not wanting you to go to this place, but you know that i'm just a worried mother, right?"
I know mom.
>You go over to hug her.
>"Mind if i help you clean this place?"
I wouldn't mind, but you'll have to check with Miss Sting.
>"That's your instructor right?"
Yeah.
>"Alright then. Let me go fetch some extra cleaning supplies. There's no such thing as having too much cleaning supplies."
>There is when you live in this family.
>Mom buys in stock.
>A lot of stock.
>Most of the houses basement is just filled with paper towels and pine sol.
>Once mom loads up the car, you give her directions to the boxing club.
>"So this is where my daughter goes almost every day." she says with a bit of a smile on her face.
>You both exit the car to meet with Miss Sting.
Miss Sting, this is my mother.
>"Donna, Nice to finally get to meet the woman who is teaching my little girl how to box." says your mom offering her hand out.
>Miss Sting shakes it heartily.
>"You can just call me Bea, it's short for Beauty. Norman's been calling me that since forever." says Miss Sting laughing a bit.
>You smile knowing your mother and your teacher just hit it off quite nicely.
>"Oh, i brought extra cleaning supplies. Would you mind if i help?"
>"Not at all. If you brought extra, that just means more people can help. HAY TONY, GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE, YOU'RE ABOUT TO START CLEANING YOUR OWN MESS!"
>You and you mother quiver in fear of Miss Sting's almighty voice.
>"So, they in the trunk?" she asks with a smile.
>"Y-yes... l-let me go get them..." stutters your mom.
>You follow your mother to the car to help her get the extra cleaning supplies.
>It seems like she didn't over pack.
>It's just a couple of brooms, a vacuum, an some pine sol.
>You and some of other members grab what you can and head inside.
>When you do, you see Norman on his knees scrubbing a huge black spot on the wall coming from the green room.
>He turns to face you all.
>"Oh sweet, i thought it was just gonna be me and Bea doing this. Glad to see that's not the case." he says lifting his white mask away.
We brought extra cleaning supplies too.
>"Great, i've been working with the same rag now for two hours straight. Go get yourself a white mask and we can start hitting this stuff as a team." he says pointing near the clean side of the building.
>You quickly put one on and meet right beside him with cleaner and rags.
>You and Norman work vigorously to wash the wall and floor from all this black gunk.
>How does one tin foil do this much damage to a wall?
>Then again, that was an old microwave.
>Whatever the case, you still wipe away the stuff it's left behind.
 
>Be Beauty Sting.
>You can't believe Shygirl pulled through like this.
>You thought it was just gonna be you, Norman, and a limited amount of windex.
>But look at you now!
>You got a full team, extra supplies, and enough soda for a celebration after you get the place all fixed up.
>You are met by Fluttershy's mother, Donna.
>"Can i speak to you in private?"
Yeah sure, follow me up stairs.
>You lead her into your office and close the door behind her.
What'd ya wanna talk about?
>"I'd like to talk about Fluttershy."
Okay then. What about Shygirl?
>"I'd just like to know that she's safe here is all."
Donna, i can assure you that this is the only time something like this has ever happened.
>"That's not what i meant."
>...
Donna this is boxing. She's GONNA get hurt.
>"I... i understand that."
Then what do you mean by her being safe?
>"My little Fluttershy has been changing so much as of late and... and i just don't want to see her be put down. This place seems to be a second home to her. Besides this, all she has is her animals. Promise me she will be safe."
>...
I promise.
>"Good... with that settled, let's go help them out."
Sure thing.
 
 
>Be Fluttershy.
>With all of you cleaning, within a couple of hours, you were able to clean up all of the mess...
>Well almost all of it.
>The wall still needs to be painted over.
>But we finished cleaning!
>You finally get to wipe the sweat off your brow with a clean rag.
>"Honey, i'm going to go home now, i'll let you hang out with your friends." says your mom.
Thanks for helping mom.
>She smiles and heads out.
>"Yo Shy, thanks for helping us out. If it weren't for you and your mom, it'd just be me and Beauty doing all the cleaning, and with the way she cleans, that would have been more than 3 days to get this place into working conditions." says Norman passing you a towel.
Thanks. I just want to keep this place running.
>Norman smiles heartily.
>...
>Maybe you should tell him about the other day.
Norman i-
*CREAAAAAK*
>You and everyone else turn to see the door open.
>"So... this is where you've been learning huh?" asks a familiar voice.
>Could it be...
Sunset?
>You hear her mean giggle.
>She begins to walk towards you both.
>"You're not welcome here Sunset." says Norman standing up.
>"What are you going to do, kick me out? Don't you have some kind of code against hitting girls?" she snidely remarks.
>"Yeah, but my friends that just so happen to be girls don't." he says pointing to the other members.
Sunset, why are you here?
>"To issue you a challenge Fluttershy, i want to see what you've learned."
>"Sorry, but the rings not in shape for that today, come back another time." says Miss Sting.
>Sunset looks at the place.
>"Hmmm... i guess this place is a little too rubbled out to be a good place to duel." she says with a smirk.
>Miss Sting puts her towel around her neck.
>"Listen kid, unless you REALLY want Shygirl her to mop the floor with you, you best get out."
>"Oh, i don't think she could beat me though. I just want to test her out is all."
I'll fight you.
>Everyone looks at you.
I'll do it. But you need to leave this place afterwords.
>"I plan to." she says taking off her jacket.
>Miss Sting looks at you and nods.
>"TONY, BRING IN THE SPARE!" she yells.
>The members unlock the bottoms of the old ring and roll in a new one, locking it in.
>You didn't know about that until now.
>"Oh, and no gear. I want you to try and do the same thing to me that you did to that man in the alley." says Sunset entering the ring.
You saw?
>"Fortunately, yes. I thought the rumors of you learning to box were just rumors. But now that i know you actually know how to defend yourself, i can teach you a lesson without having any guilt afterwords."
>You're actually starting to hate her.
>You think you've never hated anyone till now.
>"Well come on now, while everyone's watching. Show us what you've learned."
I'm going to go ahead and say sorry for what's about to happen.
>"Me too." she says shrugging.
>You rush forward and throw a right hook aiming for her-
>SHE DODGED!
>Gotta step back!
>You jump back a couple of steps.
>Why isn't she retaliating?
>"No no... keep at it. Like i said, i wanted to test y-"
>You rush in again, this time going for a straight.
>What kind of stance is she maki-
*WHAM*
AGH!
>SHE CAUGHT YOUR ARM IN HER ELBOW AND KNEE!
>She pushes you away with a kick.
>"Keep on coming." she says taking another stance.
>She has one leg put out in front of her, bent a little bit, and both fists in the air.
>Where have you seen that before?
>Don't people on that one fighting show do that?
>Is this...
>"Muay thai. Kick boxing." she says flicking her hair back.
>"SHY STOP FIGHTING!" yells Norman.
NO!
>Not now.
>Not after what i've learned.
>Not after how she's acted.
>Not after what she's done.
>You hate her.
>You hate her and now you're going to give her what's been coming to her ever since she first messed with you.
>You rush in again, this time going in for a fake out.
>She goes to do that elbo thing again, so you use the fake out to your advantage and hook her in the side.
>You pull back once you make contact.
>Sunset stands tall.
>"I didn't expect you to use other strategies other than rush in. Seems your going to start playing defensively now. Guess that means it's.... my turn." she says moving in.
>Okay Shy, you just need to watch out for her now.
>Just focus on dodging.
>She take one giant step, and she is right in front of you.
>You have to admit you are really nervous right now, but you need to focus on dodgi-
>"Grabbing's allowed in muay thai."
>Your heart stops.
>Sunset grabs around your head and brings you in.
>What is she going to d-
>"Muay thai is mostly a combination of grabs, elbows, and knees. Guess what i can do from here?"
*WHAM, WHAM, WHAM*
>She keeps kneeing you in the face.
>You try your best to pull out, but she doesn't stop.
>"SUNSET STOP, YOU'VE MADE YOUR POINT!" yells Norman.
>"Not yet." she says kneeing you one last time.
>She hits you so hard you fall down.
>You touch your face to feel blood under your nose.
>You try to get up, but Sunset pushes you back down with her foot.
>"Well this was about as eventful as i thought it was going to be. Heheheh, see you later FwuttewShy." she says in a baby voice.
>She exits the buiding.
>Norman enters the ring to help you up.
>"Fluttershy, i'm so sorry, i should have stopped the fight, i should have hel-"
No. I just need to get better.
>Norman looks at you shocked.
Norman i'm fine. This was bound to happen, i'm in a boxing club aren't i?
>"But i-"
But nothing. I just need to get better. Better enough to give that bitch what she deserves.
