- >Dang, man...
- >It feels like you've been asleep for a week or something...
- >That's good though.
- >You feel rested and ready to get on with the day.
- >You check your regulars as you roll off the bed.
- >No emails.
- >Who uses that anymore?
- >The CU facebook page is splattered with posts about the soccer game Friday.
- >What is it... UCLA vs. CU?
- >Femanon goes there.
- >You haven't talked to her in-
- Femanon: Hey you. It's been a while.
- >Yeah...
- >It really has.
- >You look over at Spike's bed.
- >He's gone, probably out doing some nerd things.
- >Like, computers or whatever.
- >Because, like, that's the sort of thing they do...
- A. Lounge
- B. Food
- C. Sleep more
- >You're starving.
- >And the best place to eat around here is...
- >The lounge!
- >Here's hoping that Applejack is there.
- >You shower off a week's worth of dust/autism and head over to the lounge.
- >A few of your friends wave over to you as you walk by.
- >Lyra, Vinyl, and Octavia are talking in the lobby.
- >Probably an argument on Vivaldi's fourth movement or some musical shit like that.
- >More important matters must be attended to.
- >Matters of the stomach.
- >You open the lounge door and see...
- >Twilight reading a book.
- >With Applejack.
- >Food time.
- "Hey Anon."
- "Howdy Anon. Ready fer some food?"
- >Definitely.
- >AJ goes over to the kitchen and starts taking out some ingredients.
- >Make sure dem fritters are toasty!
- "Er, sure."
- A. Twilight
- B. Applejack
- C. Sit alone
- >Twilight looks like she's studying pretty hard.
- "Of course I am! Finals are starting soon!"
- >They are?
- >You should really find out when they start...
- >You'll check the pastebin later.
- >Sit down on the sofa, relax, stay a while...
- >You check your phone again.
- >It's kind of surprising hearing from Femmy.
- >What's she been up to?
- Femanon: Just school. Friends and stuff.
- >Does she like UCLA
- Femanon: Yep.
- >Sure she does.
- >She's always been the outgoing one of you two.
- >Although, you've changed a little since coming to CU.
- >The ladies can't get enough of you.
- >And your bros...
- >You're doing well, basically.
- >Can't say the same about your grades though...
- Femanon: Lol. Are you going to the game Friday?
- >CU vs. UCLA?
- >Maybe.
- >Two friends of yours are playing.
- >It's always good to support RD and DH

- Femanon: I was thinking of going to the game. I'm not sure though...
- A. ask her to come
- B. Leave it to her
- C. Applejack
- D. Twilight
- >She should go.
- >It'd be great to see her again.
- >She can meet AJ and the rest of your friends.
- >Good thing Femmy's never been the jealous type.
- >Right?
- Femanon: I'll consider it. I've been busy with school work. UCLA is-
- >Hard?
- >The better question is how you interrupted a text message...
- Femanon: tough.
- >Right.
- >Well, she totally has her own friends now.
- >Maybe even a boyfriend.
- Femanon: Right.
- >C'mon... the game will be fun...
- >You want to see her-
- Femanon: Really?
- >Platonically, of course.
- Femanon: I'll see what I can do. No promises though.
- >That's a yes in your mind.
- >You'll see her there.
- Femanon: But I just sai-
- >You shut your phone off.
- >As you go back to relaxing, Fluttershy comes into the room.
- "Howdy Fluttershy! Ya hungry?"
- "H-Hi everyone. I'm a little f-famished..."
- >This just got interestingly boring
- A. Fluttershy
- B. Twilight
- C. Applejack
- >Fluttershy takes a seat next to Twilight.
- >She takes out the same book Twilight's reading.
- >Must be really important.
- >You pull up next to Fluttershy as she opens the book.
- >What's goodie, brahsef?
- "W-what?"
- >Nothing.
- >Just doing your Flash impression.
- >Twilight shoots you a look.
- >What?
- >Can't you make a joke?
- >Anyway, how's Fluttershy been?
- "I've been okay. Taking care of the dog is tiring, but worth it."
- >Lol, she still has the dog?
- >You'd thought by now she'd have given it away or something.
- "I'd never do that! Who else would take care of her?"
- >Pet shelters.
- >Creepy old men.
- >The Apple family.
- >The list goes on.
- >Fluttershy looks a little... reluctant perhaps.
- >Obviously the dog is taking away from her work.
- >Maybe she really should consider giving it to someone who can actually care for it.
- "I-I don't know about that, Anon. I love her..."
- >Talk about clingy...
- >Well, she'll figure it out.
- >Oh, and one other thing, Flootsy.
- "Yes, Anon?"
- >She forgot her bra...
- "Eep!"
- >Worth it.
- "Soup's on, ya'll!"
- >Finally.
- >Applejack brings the tray over to to table.
- "Dig in, everybody!"
- A. Applejack
- B. More Fluttershy
- C. Twilight
- >Fluttershy has one arm covering her chest and another reaching to take a fritter.
- >Problem?
- "N-no..."
- >Sure there isn't.
- >Why isn't she wearing a bra anyway?
- >Fluttershy's tomato status effect goes away after a few seconds.
- "I-I had to feed the dog, but I checked the time and realized that I promised Twilight I'd study with her."
- >Twilight puts down her book for a few seconds.
- "Fluttershy, you didn't need to rush over here."
- "Oh, but I had to. I don't like keeping people waiting."
- >Polite, but missing the point.
- >All this rushing, the tired eyes.
- >That dog, Flootsy.
- >It's killing her...
- >killing her schoolwork, that is.
- "I-I don't know..."
- >Fluttershy...
- "Someone needs to take care of her, Anon!"
- >Ok, ok.
- >She doesn't have to whisper loudly at you.
- >You look at the time.
- >Almost ten-
- "Ten! Anon, let's go!"
- >Twilight grabs her stuff, then grabs you.
- >Later, everypony
- "See ya later, Anon."
- "B-Bye, guys..."
- >A few minutes later, you're chilling in Physics with your home girl Twilight.
- >Learning about gravity.
- >And the gravity of the situation.
- >Is that you two haven't fucked yet.
- "W-What?!"
- >You're trying to be black.
- >It's clearly not working out.
- "Okay, but quiet. Professor Neigh is talking."
- >Next to Twilight, Trixie is struggling with a mechanical pencil.
- >Worse than pickle jars...
- A. Trixie
- B. Twilight
- C. Notes
- >You follow Twilight's lead and starting taking notes.
- >If finals are coming up soon, you gotta start studying.
- "And the particles..."
- >...
- >...
- "Anon!"
- >Your eyes open wide.
- >What happened?
- "You fell asleep in the middle of Professor Neigh's lecture!"
- >Oh, really?
- >Why is Twilight so surprised by that, anyway?
- "We should get going. There's a lot to do before lab."
- >There really isn't.
- >At least, not for you.
- >You grab your stuff and follow Twilight out.
- A. Girls hall
- B. Gym
- C. Dorm
- >You break out the phone.
- Rainbow (Gym?): Soccer practice. Sorry.
- >Seriously?
- >Damn...
- >Maybe...
- Spike (Gym?): I'll see if I can meet you there.
- >No definite answers.
- >Great.
- >What about...
- Derpy (Gym?): Soccer practice just ended. Give me a minute.
- >She didn't practice with Rainbow...?
- >It's not your place to ask.
- >Only to inquire.
- >You go back to the dorm and switch out your clothes.
- >Sweats never looked so good on a man before.
- >Derpy is waiting for you inside.
- >Hugs and kis- hugs all around.
- "Hey you. Ready to get started?"
- >Sure.
- >You look behind her.
- >Isn't that...?
- "Oh yeah. I brought Cloudy with me."
- >Cloud Kicker wants to work out?
- >She seemed like the "too cool to sweat" type.
- "Nah, she's totally into it. She's on defense for the team."
- >Right.
- >Derpy mentioned that before.
- >You wave at Cloud Kicker.
- >She just pops a bubble of gum.
- >How... cool.
- "Hey, who's that?"
- >Derpy points to a spot behind you.
- >Oh, that's... Spike?
- >He doesn't need to run over here.
- "Sorry dude. I just got out of class. Extra work and stuff."
- >No problem.
- >Well, now that you have an even number of people...
- "Personal spotters?"
- >Derpy looks at you, but quickly looks away.
- >Dat blush.
- >But yes.
- >Time to partner up.
- A. Spike
- B. Derpy
- C. Cloud Chaser
- D. Screw partners
- >You hook up with Spike.
- >Let's go, buddy.
- "But I was thinking I could go with Clou-"
- >Slow down, lover boy.
- >Gains first, then the women come.
- "Fine..."
- >You start him off with the bench press.
- >Time to go for it.
- >Whatever "it" is.
- >An hours later, all four of you are dead tired.
- "I... I can't lift anymore."
- >At least Spike did lift.
- >The internet can't challenge him on that end anymore.
- >The four of you head downstairs to the showers.
- >You and Spike head into the boys shower room.
- "Why's it s-so cold in here?"
- >Because CU hates men.
- >Fucking feminists.
- >You turn the water on to the hottest setting.
- >But at this point, the forge of Hephaestus couldn't keep you warm.
- A. Business
- B. Listen on the wall.
- C. Quit the shower
- >You bring Spike over to your side of the shower.
- "What, Anon? This is getting awkward."
- >*sigh*
- >Time for Spike to see why showers can be so exciting.
- "W-What?!"
- >You put your ear up against the wall.
- >Spike, just... follow your lead.
- "O...K..."
- >What are the girls saying now?
- >Sounds like... Cloud Kicker.
- >Or at least, what you imagine her voice to sound like.
- >All she does is chew gum.
- "Why don't you *pop* just tell him how you feel?"
- "Because he already knows, Cloudy. I-I told him a while ago..."
- "And?" *pop*
- "Well, there's Applejack..."
- >Well, you've certainly heard enough.
- >Later Spike.
- "But Anon, what were they?"
- >N-nothing.
- >Nothing important.
- >For right now, at least.
- >You gather your stuff and leave the gym.
- >Time for class.
- "Sorry i'm late everyone. Paperwork..."
- >Luna takes out the key and opens the door.
- >Where's the professor for this anyway...?
- >Not important, right?
- >Twilight and the Asia-tones are already setting up the lab.
- >And they didn't even get the instructions yet.
- >Trixie is no where to be foun-
- "I, Trixie, command you to move!"
- >She doesn't have to shout...
- "It's gets the job done."
- >Bravado-girl takes a seat.
- >Alone.
- A. Twilight
- B. Trixie
- >You hand Twilight your lab papers.
- >She's got this.
- "Anon, can you hand me that test tube?"
- >Sure you could.
- >You're testing mass, but a test tube obviously is necessary.
- >You hand over the tube of tests.
- >This chair is comfy...
- >She's got this.
- >Time for sleep...
- "Anon! Lab is over."
- >Really?
- >That felt like, well...
- >55 minutes.
- >Twilight hands your paper to Luna.
- "Anon, why is it that you never do work in this class?"
- >Because you're too cool for skool.

- >...
- >Nevermind...

- >What are the terms of your employment?
- >You head on over to the dining hall.
- >Applejack's probably in class...
- >It's not so packed.
- >Actually, it's nearly empty.
- >Conveniently, only your friends are there.

- A. Class
- B. Red and Colgate

- >What are your favorite B building-ers up to?
- >Lyra hugs you and pulls out a chair.
- >5 star service so far.
- >Octavia shoots you a warm look.
- >That's a first.
- >You've finally started to melt the ice queen.
- "How are you, Anon?"
- >You've been good.
- >Classes and stuff.
- >Just getting back into the regular groove of things.
- "It must be hard when you get acclimated to the agricultural lifestyle."
- >Over two days?
- >Octi's crazy.
- >Sure, it was nice.
- >But it wouldn't be fun for, say, a week.
- >You need to get your internet fix somehow.
- >Lyra chomps loudly on an apple.
- "How was the farm anyway?"
- >You tell them the fun parts.
- >Where you picked apples, and... uh... picked more apples.
- "That just sounds like work."
- >Lyra could use some work.
- >No sense of discipline.
- >Yfw talking to a musician about discipline.
- >Whatever happened to you playing the recorder?
- "You only got up to the recorder?"
- >You were busy.
- >Y'know, with puberty and actually having a life.
- *hmph* "Music is important, you know."
- >Of course it is.
- >You'd just believe that more if you actually played an instrument.
- >Octavia twirls a fork.
- "Would you... be interested in learning how to play?"
- >An instrument?
- >A fry hits your head.
- "No, dummy. Soccer."
- >You have Rainbow for that.
- A. Agree
- B. Maybe
- C. Decline
- >But really, would you?

- >Who could be callin-
- "ANON!"

- >Right. Job. You.
- >You gather your stuff together.
- >Sorry to cut this short, ladies, but you've got work to do.
- >Octavia looks a little hurt.
- "Anon, what about my offer?"
- >You're in a bit of a hurry, but it's definitely a maybe.
- >She smiles a bit.
- >You wave to the both of them as you make your way to the psych room.
- >The class is already out of session.
- >Great...
- >Discord is at his desk taking out some papers.
- "Anon, there you are!"
- >He shakes your hand in earnest.
- >Whatever an earnest is...
- >So, what's the job today, Prof?
- "Oh, there's no job. I just wanted to tell you something."
- >Oh...
- >Thanks for making you rush then.
- "No problem. Anyway, I visited Pinkie over the weekend."
- >And?
- "She should be out of the hospital in around five days."
- >No shitting?
- "No lie."
- >That's awesome!
- >How is she anyway?
- "She's fine. The psychiatric evaluations could be better, but she's recovering quite well."
- >You're sure Discord would be all over the psychiatric evaluations.
- "And the nurses."
- >And the nu- what?
- "Nothing. Here's your pay for the day."
- >An envelope.
- >But you barely did anything...
- "You're good company. Take it."
- >Wow... thanks.

- >You've seen enough of them for this quarter.
- >Time for some B building action.
- >Lyra's there at the door.
- "Hey Anon. Want in?"

- >Vinyl opens the door a few minutes later.
- >Your patience is legendary.
- "What's up, Anon? Long time, no see man."
- >She fists you and lets you inside.
- >You stay on her side of the room.
- >The disarray, the music...
- >Discord would love it here.
- "The psych guy? I might take that next quarter."
- >No shit?
- >It's a fun class.
- "I've heard. I'm taking it to learn more about music and the mind."
- >So she can create a truly captive audience?
- "What? I'm not a theater major."
- >Laughs all around.
- >What's she been doing?
- "Not much. Just playing at parties and working hard on new sounds."
- >You heard some of it outside.
- >She's getting better.
- >Even if she was great to start with.
- >Vinyl smiles and goes back to her laptop.
- "Thanks dude. It's just... It's really a lot, you know?"
- >A lot of...
- "Work. Making music is my life! I just wish I was... I don't know..."
- >Appreciated?
- >She has so many fans though.
- "Exactly. It's not that I'm not appreciated. I just don't... I don't have time to live for myself..."
- >Responsibility over fun?
- "Yeah. And that people are only fans, never friends."
- >Too unapproachable, eh?
- "Me? Unapproachable? You're joking, right?"
- >Yep.
- >Too bad the other kids don't think the same way you do though.
- "True. Then I might actually have friends here."
- >Vinyl laughs, but it masks sadness.
- >It's not hidden well.
- >You look at your watch.
- >It's getting late, somehow.
- >Weird.
- "You gotta go?"
- >Yeah...
- >Sorry, Record Player.
- "No problem, dude."
- >You get your stuff and head for the door.
- "And Anon?"
- >Hmm?
- >She hugs you briefly.
- "Thanks for being there. As a friend, I mean. B-Baka"
- >No problem. dude.
- >As you walk back, your phone starts vibrating.
- >It's Applejack.
- Applejack: Are you coming over tonight?
- >Now you are.
- >A few minutes of walking, seducing, and humping later...
- "Y'know, Ah've missed this..."
- >Yeah.
- >You haven't done it with Applejack since, what, the farm?
- "n' the tree house, remember?"
- >Right.
- >With the stars so bright.
- >Lighting up the night.
- >Scaring away your fright.
- >It was nice.
- >Imagine if Apple Bloom followed you up there?
- "Shucks, Anon. That ain't a right thing ta think about. She's mah little sister."
- >And her big sister is great company.
- >You're only messing with her anyway.
- >You get your loli fill off of /b/.
- >As Applejack snuggles into your arms, you turn and notice a letter on her desk.
- >From the Apple Farm?
- "Ah got it t'day. It's probably nothin' though. Ah'll read it tomorrow."
- >Whatever floats her boat.
- >You kiss her and tuck yourself in.
