Chapter 14 - Love potion #69

"Alright, finished!" Sasha cheered, staring at the sparkling pink liquid the cauldron. She reviewed the recipe, to make sure she got everything correct.

"Now, I just need to put it in something Ronnie will eat," Sasha said. Kaydence walked in, holding a tray of Heart-shaped sugar cookies, she made in the kitchen.

"Sasha, I baked those cookies you asked for," Kaydence told her. She set the tray down on the table and went to get the frosting.

"Hehe, I'll Ronnie back in no time," Sasha giggled, rubbing her hands together.

"I got Red and white frosting." Kaydence came in with two bowls of frosting. Sasha grabbed the bowl with the white frosting and added a cup of the love potion, making it turn pink.

"Whoa! it's like magic!" Kaydence commented as the frosting turned into a sparkling pink, instead of plain white.

"That's because it is magic," Sasha smirked, adding some of the potions to the red frosting, making it sparkly.

The next day, Sasha walked to school, holding a heart-shaped container filled with the love cookies. She dressed up all nice too, putting on her best makeup, along with black flats and pink and white striped knee-high socks. She giggled in excitement.

Ronnie was currently looking for Luna but couldn't find her. He found Shion and asked her where Luna was at.

"Yo, Shion," He greeted, walking towards her.

"Ronnie...?" Shion yelped in surprise, this is the first time Ronnie came up and talked to her

"Do you know where Luna is?" he asked; his hands in his jacket pockets.

"Uh... yeah, she has a doctor's appointment, She probably won't be at school for a while. She texted me saying she was anemic," Shion explained.

"Ah... bummer, I'll visit her later," Ronnie sighed, walking off, Leaving Shion surprised.

"Wow, He must really like Luna, he doesn't even look at me," Shion commented to herself.

(Good, that fat slut won't be here to sabotage my plans.) Sasha thought.

(... I'm disappointed, I wanted to give her this letter... I'll just write one for her when I get home.) Shadow thought.

Sasha found Ronnie hanging out in the hall and excitedly approached him.

"Ronnie! I missed you," She cheered, skipping to him.

"I didn't..." He coldly replied, averting his eyes.

"Aw... I'm sorry Ronnie-bun, I wanted to make it up to you, so I baked you some cookies," Sasha attempted to charm him, unaffectedly.

"You didn't bake those, you can't bake shit. I don't want your cookies, now go away!" Ronnie ordered, but Sasha stayed still.

"Please, Ronnie! just one bite?" Sasha begged.

"Net," He said.

"Please?" She pleaded.

"I said no!"

"pause la yusta?" Sasha mispronounced.

"You said it wrong, It sounded Spanish. It's pozhaluysta, and I'm still saying no!" Ronnie growled.

"Onegai?"

"It's Kudasai if you're asking me to do something," he corrected her.

"well?"

"Iie!" He shot.

"Just try it! It won't hurt you!" Sasha got in his face.

"Grr... Fine! Bozhe ty zhalkiy" He sighed in defeat. He grabbed a red cookie with pink sugar sprinkles and took a bite.

"It's not even valentines day, why hearts?" he whispered under his breath.

"How is it?" She asked.

"Plain," He answered. Sasha gasped. She expected Ronnie to fall in love immediately. He walked off, throwing the cookie in the trash.

(W-what? That wasn't supposed to happen! The recipe said he should fall in love immediately when he takes the first bite!) Sasha stood there, shocked.

"Now what do I do? I didn't think this would happen. I can't just give up!" Sasha groaned in frustration. Shadow walked by, his hands in his pockets. It took a while but a lightbulb went off Sasha's head.

"Shadow-senpai!" She walked up to him.

"What?!" He growled.

"Shadow-Senpai! I made cookies, try one! you'll like it!" Sasha cooed, handing him a pink frosted cookie. Shadow just took it and tried walking off, unfortunately, Sasha wouldn't let him.

"Try it!" She begged. Shadow took a small bite, suddenly, he felt weird.

"well? how is it?" Sasha asked.

"Delicious..." He breathed. He didn't know what was happening, it felt like the first time he saw Luna but... different. It was as if he was in a daze, his eyesight foggy and unable to focus on anything except Sasha.

"I'm so happy!" Sasha cheered.

(If I can't get Ronnie back, then I'll just take Luna's crush! She'll be devastated!) Sasha thought.

"Now that we're here, will you be my boyfriend?" Sasha asked. Shadow paused for a moment, He wanted to be Luna's boyfriend, but he couldn't reject Sasha, something about her was just... alluring.

"Y-yes," He stuttered. He couldn't say no, it was like his willpower has been taken away.

"Alright, new boyfriend, shall we walk to class together?" Sasha clung to his arm.

Now, everyone is talking about the new couple.

"Sasha is dating Shadow!"

"Really? I'm so jealous,"

Eclipse stopped and listened to the two girls.

"Shadow...? but... why would Shadow start dating Sasha?" Eclipse asked herself, She frowned at the thought of Shadow and Sasha holding hands.

"No, It's just a stupid rumor. I know Shadow, he's only interested in Luna. Why would he even agree to date her?" Eclipse shook her head. Predestinated, Eclipse was proven wrong, in front of her very eyes.

"We should go to Starby's after school, Shaddy; It's a good way to get to know each other, better," Sasha chirped.

"Uh... o-ok..." Shadow stuttered, turning his head away to hide his huge blush.

"Aw, you're so cute when you're blushing!" Sasha complimented.

"No, no, no, th-this can't be real! It's just a joke," Eclipse repeated to herself. She couldn't believe Shadow. When did he start dating Sasha? He knows the terrible things she's done, so why her? Eclipse thought.

"Eclipse, c'mon, class is starting," Shion nudged her. Eclipse shook her head, coming back to her senses.

"Right, I almost forgot..." Eclipse said.

Luna just got home from the nephrologist and decided to lay in her bed.

"So tired..." She commented. Luna heard her phone ring and went to check it.

"2 new messages, from Ronnie and Eclipse," Luna muttered.

Ronnie: hey, heard u were sick.

Luna: not really, just tired, what's up with you?

.Ronnie: Nothing too interesting, Sasha tried to give one of her shitty cookies.

Luna giggled when she read the text.

Luna: Shitty cookies? that's kinda mean, dude.

Ronnie: Maybe, but it's true. She can't bake anything, I bet her hopeless romantic MLP Friend made them.

Luna: Kaydence?

Ronnie: yep.

Luna giggled and sent a text saying she didn't know much about Kaydence. She went to her group chat to see Eclipse's message.

Eclipse: Luna, you ok? something crazy happened at school.

Luna: Ja, I'm fine. what'd I miss?

Eclipse: Shadow and Sasha are dating!

Luna abruptly sat up, her eyes widened as she read the message.

Luna: WTF? why?

Luna texted back, she was just as surprised as Eclipse. A feeling of sadness went through her.

(Why would Shadow date Sasha? He doesn't seem like that kind of guy. I mean... Eclipse said he has some problems, if anything, those two don't go together!) Luna thought, distressed.

Eclipse: Dunno, maybe she threatened him.

Nyx suddenly came into Luna's room with Banjo, setting aside a glass of cranberry juice on Luna's nightstand.

"Yo Lulu, you look troubled, whaddup?" Nyx asked, flopping herself on Luna's bed.

"It's stupid, my crush is dating my bully," Luna quickly explained.

"Ouch, I know that feeling," Nyx said.

"Don't worry too much, their relationship probably won't last a month, and crushes only last for four months," Nyx said. Luna thought about it.

"You're right, it's just a stupid crush," Luna scoffed off her previous thought. Deep inside, she was devastated.

(Maybe Sasha forced him to.) Luna thought.

"Sasha, how did the potion work?" Kaydence asked, sitting down on the bench.

"It didn't even affect Ronnie, But I was able to use it on Shadow," Sasha explained. Kaydence put a hand on her chin.

"That's strange... why did it work on Shadow and not Ronnie?" Kaydence wondered.

"Not sure, but it worked on Shadow, so I have that," Sasha replied.

"Why did you use it on him?" Kaydence asked her. Sasha put her hands on her hips.

"Simple, If I can't get Ronnie back, then I'll just sabatoge Luna by taking her crush. She'll finally know what heartbreak feels like!" Sasha explained. Kaydence thought about it for a while, Peyton arrived, looking unhappy.

"Peyton, you don't look too happy," Kaydence told her.

"How was basketball practice?" Sasha asked.

"Horrible! When Levi saw my haircut, he said it looked weird!" Peyton exclaimed in frustration.

"No matter what I do, I can never get Levi to like me!" She sighed, looking down.

"By the way... did the Love Potion work?" Peyton asked, looking back up at the duo. Sasha fidgeted nervously.

"Not exactly... It didn't work on Ronnie, but it worked on Shadow," She explained. A look of surprise showed up on Peyton's face.

That's weird, why didn't it work on Ronnie?" She asked. Sasha shrugged, then put her hands on her hips.

"What if it's because Ronnie loves someone else?" Kaydence thought up. Sasha and Peyton looked impressed. A Persian blue-haired girl walked by.

"OI, stop loitering the halls! It's almost class time!" She scolded. The trio listened to her, walking away.

"Stupid Oracle, think she's the boss because she's student council president," Sasha grumbled.
