《TNS Piper Season 8 (Must Read)》Oneshot #3: Amy finds out
Advertisement
Piper's POV:
"I'm gonna tell her." I said to Finn on the phone as I walked to the studio.
Finn and some others weren't coming to the studio today, but I had a rehearsal and so did Amy. I had to tell her about the kiss; it was driving me insane.
"Piper, wait. I can get dressed and meet you at the studio, so that we can tell her together." He said, as I heard rustling, indicating that he was going to get ready.
"No, no, Finn. It's okay, I'll tell her. If I don't do it today then I don't know when I'll have the confidence to again." I explained, looking up at the sky to keep the tears at bay.
She's going to hate me.
"But I kissed you first, it's my fault, so you shouldn't have to take the fall, please, Pipes." Finn said, desperately, probably knowing that I was going to break down at Amy's reaction.
"Finn, please just stay home. I've got this." I said, trying my best to sound confident. "But-" He started, but I interrupted him. "Gotta go, bye, Finn!" I said, before hanging up.
I walked into the Next Steep and inhaled the sweet scent of tea, before heading to studio A. Amy was already there, stretching and she smiled at me, but I couldn't bring myself to smile back.
I grabbed her hand and silently led her to the locker room, bracing myself for what I had to tell her. "Pipes, what's the matter?" Amy said, as we sat down on the couch in the locker room.
"Amy, I have to tell you something, but please, please don't hate me. I promise that when we realised what we were doing, we pulled away. Please, don't hate me." I said, stopping myself before I started rambling.
"It's alright, Pipes. It can't be that bad. We're Pamy, we'll figure it out." She said, with a concerned and confused smile.
"I-I-" I started, not knowing how to tell her. "Oh, sorry, Pipes, rehearsals are starting but you can tell me later. Right?" She asked, as I silently nodded.
She gave me a warm smile, heading to the door and I knew that it was now or never.
"Amy, Finn and I kissed while you guys were still dating!" I blurted out, putting my hand over my mouth, my heart breaking at the shock and heart on Amy's face as she turned around.
"You, what?" She whispered, as her eyes welled up. "Amy, I'm so sor-" I began but she cut me off.
"How could you, Piper?! You're meant to be my best friend. Why would you do that to me? Did I do something wrong to you? Why, Piper, why? You of all people. You know what? I never want to see or talk to you ever again for the rest of my life!" She yelled, as tears rapidly fell down my face mirroring the tears on her face.

"We were meant to be Pamy forever." She whispered sadly, before storming out of the locker room.
I sat down on the couch, letting out ugly sobs before remembering about rehearsal. I furiously wiped my tears, checked my face and walked into studio A, beginning to stretch, as Emily came out.
During rehearsals, I tried to apologise to Amy but she ignored me and kept on walking away from me. Henry and Richelle, along with some other A troupe's who were at rehearsals today, were concerned and I ended up telling them what happened, only Henry and Richelle, the rest were just confused but I ignored them.
Henry and Richelle tried to cheer me up and promised to try and talk to Amy. After rehearsals, I slowly walked to the locker room and texted my mum to tell her that I was sleeping round Richelle's place and she said it was fine.
After telling James and forwarding mum's message to him, I sat on the couch, pulled my knees up to my chest and buried my face in them, crying my heart out.
The words from the song 'Here with me' kept replaying through my mind, as I kept on sobbing.
"There's a pain in my heart and it won't go away."
I was so caught up in my thoughts and tears that I didn't even notice Emily walk in with Nick.
Emily's POV:
I stared in shock at the broken girl, crying her heart out on the couch.
I was exhausted and just wanted to go home and sleep but my sister in law was there, clearly upset, I couldn't just leave her.
"There, there, poppet." Nick whispered, repeatedly, into Piper's hair, as he hugged her and she continued to cry onto his shoulder.
"Okay, hun, why don't Nick and I go get some blankets and mats. We can have a sleepover and then you can tell us what's wrong." I suggested to her as I knelt down in front of her, as she wiped away her tears and nodded.
"Come on, Nick." I said, as we walked to my car, and headed to my house. I walked back into the locker room as Nick stumbled in carrying blankets, pillows and an air mattress.
Once we had set everything up, I opened my arms and said, "Come here", to Piper as she crashed into me, breaking into sobs.
"She hates me, Em. She hates me. She'll never forgive me!" She cried out as I held her in my arms. When her tears slowed down, she explained what happened and I inhaled sharply.
That... was not good.
"It's alright, Piper, dear. Just talk to her, she's your best friend." Nick said, rubbing her shoulders as I agreed.

"Nick's right. Just talk to her, she'll understand because she loves you, she's your best friend. What you and Finn did was wrong but everyone makes mistakes. Just talk to her." I said, as she hesitantly nodded.
"Let's go to sleep, we have to get up early in the morning." I said, as Piper lay next to me in my double air mattress and Nick lay down on his yoga mat.
"Thanks, Emmy." Piper whispered. "Ssh, not in front of Nick." I whispered back but it was too late, Nick had already heard.
"Emmy? That's cute, I call her Embo!" He said as Piper laughed. "Nick, go to bed!" I said, as he grumbled like a petulant child, which made me roll my eyes and smile.
In the morning, around 6, I woke Piper and Nick up. We cleared the locker room and I took them back to my house, to get ready for the day. "Here." I said as I handed the two of them spare toothbrushes.
"Ugh, what do I do about my hair?" I heard Piper mumble to herself as I laughed and told her to sit down. I French braided her hair and she hugged me as a thank you before we all had breakfast and headed back to the studio.
"You got this." I told her, as I saw Amy head into the locker room. Nick agreed and patted her shoulder as she timidly walked into the locker room.
Piper's POV:
I nodded my head to myself and walked into the locker room, seeing Amy put her things away.
She turned around and looked at me before crossing her arms and walking past me.
"Amy, please." I said, my voice cracking. She slowly turned around and sat on the sofa. "What?" She asked coldly.
"Please Amy. I'm so so unbelievably sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I just got caught up in the moment. I love you so much, you're my best friend, and I can't lose you. I just can't. Please forgive me, I promise that I'll never date Finn, just please forgive me! Please, Amy, I'm begging you." I cried out, tears running down my face as I kneeled in front of her, literally begging on my knees.
She wiped her tears and stood up, holding out her hand for me to stand up too. "Finn apologised to me yesterday, he was also on his knees." She said, letting out a small, wobbly laugh.
"What you did really hurt but I forgive you. I love you too and I don't want to lose you either. You can date Finn; me, Henry and Richelle had a long talk last night and I realised that I've also had my fair share of moments, and I get it. I want you and Finn to be happy. Together." She said, as I smiled at her and hugged her tightly.
"Thank you, Ames. For everything." I said as we hugged. "No problem, Pipes." She replied as we both wiped our tears and headed back to rehearsals.
As we walked in, Emily smiled happily and mouthed, "I told you so" as Nick winked at me and smiled. I laughed slightly and smiled back at them, joyful that Amy decided to forgive me.
"Go get your man, Pipes." She said, laughing as she gently pushed me into the direction of Finn, who was looking at me with hopeful eyes.
"Hey." He said, smiling as I stood next to him. "Hey." I replied.
"So, I talked to Amy, yesterday. She said she forgave me and said that she was okay if we dated. She also said that if I hurt you, she'll kill me." Finn said, as I laughed.
"Yeah, I talked to Amy just now. I'm so happy that I've got my best friend back." I said happily.
"So, do you maybe want to go on a date tomorrow evening?" He asked me hopefully, as I sighed, pretending to think about it, as he stared at me worriedly.
"I'm just kidding! I'd love to go on a date with you." I said, laughing at his relieved face.
"Okay, good! I'll come up with the perfect first date, and I'll pick you up at 8. See ya, Pipes!" He said, before giving me a kiss on my forehead and running off to Henry, probably asking him for ideas, since everyone knew that he was the king of romance.
I laughed slightly before looking over at Amy. All the girls were smirking at me, before squealing as I gave them all excited thumbs up.
"Thanks Ames!" I said as I hugged her. "No problem, Pipes. It's great to see you so happy!" She said, as I proceeded to tell the girls that I had a date with Finn.
When Emily hushed us and started the rehearsal, she sent me a knowing smirk and I smiled back at her, before turning back to Amy.
"Pamy forever?" Amy asked hopefully, sticking out her pinky finger. I connected my pinky finger with hers and hugged her tightly.
"Pamy forever."

Toothpick
“Hello! My humble audience! I, the Bard of the North, am going to tell you a tale. Nothing new, nothing old. A story of a hero, some may say, others a poor boy who was hated by the world.” The storyteller paused as he waited, right timing was everything when telling a story. Pacing… Too slow and the audience became bored then left without tossing even the smallest of coins. If he spoke too fast and rushed the story. It would leave the audience confused and having no reason to be impressed. So like any good storyteller, the Bard has to do a balancing act of sorts. Not too slow, not too fast. Just perfectly in the middle. “In a shattered country in the south, a novice princeling has the ambition to mend a torn tapestry that is his birthplace. Struggling to fend off those who would usurp the throne in an unending civil war spanning centuries. A mercenary that left only death in his wake, unable to stave off the monotony and peace of life. He looks back at the path laden with bodies, wondering if it was all worth it. Wandering souls summoned by a madman, travel away from a wasteland in a foreign land, the first alone, the others as companions. A deity, ancient in her years, waiting to be freed from a duty she no longer enjoys. For all these people and their stories, none are the hero of this tale. No, the hero is not grand, not wise, not ready.. he was punished for nothing of his doing, who was an outcast that was unloved by many, including his father.” This was always the big reveal novices use to jump off into their story. He did not start here, instead, like any good fishermen, he set the bait and waited until the fish bit before pulling. As he saw the audience's eyes focus, he then started the backstory. The harness, that stopped the listeners from having metaphorical whiplash. The foreshadowing. “But that is not where the story starts. No, not even the hero's birth. Where the story begins, is the boredom of the deity, a deity many know of. She who hunts for the impossible, the guide for those who have lost the path, the Huntress of Mallon--” A small pause, a short breath. “--All old names for a single powerful being that has roamed the grounds of this continent longer than any line of kings or queens, lords or ladies. A being of worship for many an individual…” One last breath. And he began singing the first verse.
8 289Corpse Crawler
Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.

8 112One in a Billion
My name is Xelean, since I can remember I always saw strange shapes floating in my field of vision. When I asked my parents about it, they looked at me concerned, perhaps thinking that I had a vision problem. Seeing his reaction I quickly said that it was all a joke. However, when I learned to read, I understood a little better what those images with letters were thanks to the following message:'Congratulations soul of the multiversal soul flow!!! You are the soul number 1 Billion that will be born in the world to which you were destined, in consideration and because the current situation of the world, certain benefits will be granted:[User interface][Inspection][Accelerated balanced growth] Sincerely, The Hive.' ---------------------------------------------------- Author Note/Warning:English is not my first language. One of the reasons why I started writing this is to improve my writing skills, so if you see any errors, please leave a comment. In this work there may be similar things/references to different novels (from webnovel and outside of it), role-playing campaigns, movies, anime and manga; since they shaped the idea that I have of the stories and I think that, in part, many of the ideas that I have in mind are consciously or unconsciously inspired by them.
