- >Well, that was a restful sleep.
- >It's like you slept for half a day or something.
- >But, whatever.
- >Honestly, it's nice to sleep in your own bed once in a while.
- >Even if the warmth of a human body can't be imitated by a blanket.
- >Still, you can't complain.
- >You roll out of bed and do one of those obnoxious yawns.
- >Spike's asleep.
- >Not being active.
- >Day 39.
- >Dammit Spike...
- >You go off to shower and get dressed.
- >Time to start the day.

- B. Food

- >Let's go have some fun!
- >You walk out of the dorm room to find...
- >A furry convention?
- >No... people are dressed up in costume.
- >Um... what is this and why weren't you told?
- "Hey Anon!"
- >Who is th-
- >Too late, you've been glomped.
- >Derpy?
- "Yep! Where's your costume?"
- >What?
- >You didn't know you needed a costume for today.
- >You, because you expected a regular school day.
- >Where's Derpy's costume anyway?
- "It's a surprise. I'm saving it for the party."
- >Party?
- "Oh yeah. There's a party tonight. One last party before the big game tomorrow."
- >Makes sense.
- >The soccer players need to relieve their tension somehow.
- "I can think of a few ways..."
- >Her eyes hungrily glide over your body.
- >Too bad they can't feed themselves.
- >Wait, that's not true.
- >If you remember correctly, Derpy was mastu-
- "What?"
- >Nothing!
- >You've gotta go!
- >You weave your way through the crowd and find your way to the girls hall.
- >A, of course.
- >Lyra's there.
- >No costume?
- "Saving it for the party."
- >Sensing a recurring theme here."
- >Lyra opens the girls hall for you.
- Take your pick of ladies, monsieur
- A. Rainbow and Fluttershy
- B. Applejack
- C. Twilight and Rarity
- >Applejack's room is locked.
- >She must be busy with something.
- >What about Rainbro?
- >You knock on her door.
- >Happy barks come from behind.
- >Fluttershy must not be here.
- "Alright, quit your barking. Your giving me a headache."
- >Rainbow comes out in a long shirt.
- "Oh, hey Anon."
- >She looks you over.
- "No costume?"
- >Saving it for the party.
- "Right..."
- >She cum inside.
- >Lol sex jokes.
- >Rainbow sits down on the bed and starts untangling her hair.
- >Bed head never looked so messy.
- >You lie down next to her.
- "Getting comfy there?"
- >A little.
- >The girls hall beds are always softer.
- >Especially AJ's.
- "Spending a lot of time over here, huh?"
- >Like, all of your night life is in Applejack's room.
- >It's so comfy, and when you snuggle up next to her-
- "Ugh, dude. Shut up. Your gonna make me hurl."
- >You know she wants it.
- BLURRED LINES
- A. Visit another room
- B. The dog
- C. Business
- >The dog runs around the room.
- >Fluttershy must'a done a real number on her.
- >You pat your lap to make the dog run to you.
- >Surprisingly, the dog jumps into your lap.
- >Well trained.
- >Gotta give Fluttershy credit.
- >She has a name, right?
- "I think Fluttershy calls her... Winona or something."
- >You forgot.
- >Winona, probably.
- >Having "Something" for a name isn't hip this time of year.
- >You scratch behind Winona's ear.
- >She wags her tail.
- >You turn back to Rainbow, who's picking stuff up off the floor.
- >She should really be wearing something under that shirt...
- >Like underwear.
- >She turns back to you.
- "Anon, quit staring. If your not gonna do something, then don't dwell on it."
- >W-what?
- >Was that an open invitation?
- "No. It's my new philosophy."
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9EOp38_L7k
- >How does Fluttershy... treat Winona?
- "Like, in general?"
- >Yep.
- "Well, from what I've seen, Fluttershy really loves that dog. She's not mistreating her or anything."
- >Seriously?
- >Then why-
- "does she always try to get away from Flutters? I really don't know."
- >Wow...
- >Fluttershy's either innocent.
- >Or a master at covering her tracks.
- >You'll find her secret out eventually...
- >A knock at the door.
- "Anon, are you there?"
- >Twilight?
- >Rainbow gets the door.
- "Hi Rainbow. Is Anon in here?"
- >*ahem*
- >Twilight frantically gestures to you.
- "C'mon! We've got class!"
- >Right.
- >Fuck.
- >Twilight gets you in class on time.
- >Giving you more class time.
- >Great.
- A. Notes
- B. Twilight
- C. Trixie
- >Where's Twilight's costume?
- "I'm sav-"
- >Saving it for the party.
- >Right.
- >Wait...
- >Twilight's going to a party?
- >Without being dragged to it?
- "Er, yeah. Why not?"
- >It's just that...
- >Well...
- >Twilight's never been the kind of girl to party.
- >She's the one who stands in the corner all night.
- "I was interested in seeing how CanterU would do this."
- >Really?
- >That's the only reason?
- >Social research...
- "Well, and that Luna is in charge of the party."
- >There it is.
- >Where Luna is, Celestia will follow.
- >That fan-girl crush on Tia is gonna be the death of Twilight.
- "Quiet..."
- >Dat blush.
- >Is Twilight seriously-
- "Of course not! I like boys."
- >You lean in close.
- >Twilight looks like she's about to panic.
- >Her eyes go from your eyes to your lips.
- "A-Anon, what are you doing?"
- >Just making sure she's telling the truth.
- >Twilight blushes, but leans in and closes her eyes.
- >You lean in and...
- >Pull back.
- >Twilight looks like a fish with her cheeks puffed out.
- >She's doing it wrong.
- "A-Anon, I thought..."
- >Thought what?
- "N-nothing, B-baka"
- >What's wrong Twilight.
- >The smug look on your face does it for her.
- "Take your notes, Anonymous."
- >Sure.
- >Whatever you want.
- >Finally.
- >Physics is always longest.
- >No, that's Art History.
- "I'll see you later, Anon."
- >Right, physics lab.
- >You shoulda changed your schedule...
- A. Girls Hall
- B. lounge
- C. Dorm
- D. Food
- >Wait up, Twilight!
- >You gotta spend some time with your girls.
- "Oh, okay. Let's go then."
- >You grab your stuff and follow Twilight out.
- >On your way, your thoughts start moving.
- >Femanon might visit tomorrow.
- >That could be cool.
- >Maybe she'll introduce you to her UCLA friends.
- >And she'll be happy to meet Applejack and your gang.
- >Most definitely.
- >Speaking of girls you haven't seen in a while...
- >Twilight, where's Rarity?
- "Rarity?"
- >Twilight shifts a little.
- "She's been... good."
- >Just good?
- >C'mon, Twi.
- >Rainbow said she's been sorta quiet.
- >Twilight is Rarity's roommate.
- >She's gotta know something.
- "Ever since last Friday, she's been quiet. She keeps saying nothing's wrong, but she's clearly upset about something."
- >She didn't say?
- "Nothing. You went on the trip, right? Do you know what happened?"
- A. Tell Twilight
- B. Lie
- C. Run
- >You have some idea.
- >Actually, you know exactly what happened.
- >And it's sorta your fault...
- "Wait, really? What did you do?"
- >You... er...
- >Rarity was...
- "Anon, just say it. I'm worried about Rarity."
- >Long or short version.
- "Just tell me!"
- >Right, sorry.
- >Look, Twilight...
- >She knows about Rarity's crush on you, right?
- "Y-You know about that?"
- >If you didn't realize that, you must've been blind.
- >Or just oblivious.
- >Her jacking you off in her room wasn't a hint, of course.
- "Oh..."
- >Anyway, during the trip, Rarity tried to... er...
- >She tried to have sex with you.
- >To put it lightly.
- "But you're with Applejack."
- >Don't you know it.
- >You were pinned down basically.
- >And...
- "You two... did it?"
- >Twilight's shocked.
- "Anon, I thought you were better than tha-"
- >You didn't have sex with Rarity.
- >Cadance saved you.
- "Cadance?"
- >Tri-colored hair, Humanity major, gets a hard-on from helping people.
- "She sounds familiar..."
- >Well, anyway, Rarity seemed really desperate.
- >Like, she needed to be with you.
- >And she did that.
- >Maybe now, she just feels really bad about it.
- "O-oh..."
- >Nothing else to say?
- "No. I'm just... really, really, shocked. Rarity doesn't seem like that kind of girl."
- >Exactly.
- "Are you still... friends?"
- >Hopefully.
- >You hugged her after the trip, and you're not mad about it.
- >But you should check up on her.
- >Twilight opens the girls hall for you.
- >Let's have some fun to lighten the mood.
- A. Twilight
- B. Rainbow
- C. Applejack
- D. Derpy
- >You follow Twilight into her room.
- "Rarity, are you here?"
- >You hear the sound of stuff being moved inside of the closet.
- >And... voices...
- "Exile... I guess technically I'd have to move away to live in exile..."
- >She's leaving?
- >Or just talking crazy.
- >Twilight brings herself to ear level.
- "She's been mentioning leaving..."
- >That bad, huh?
- "Yeah..."
- >You sit down on Twilight's bed.
- >Rarity's inside the closet, look through a few things.
- >That pink robe looks good on her.
- >Matches the unkempt hair and makeup.
- "You really did a number on her..."
- >How is this your fault?
- >Twilight shrugs and gets her books.
- "Look, I should get going... You should talk to Rarity..."
- >Yeah...
- >Twilight closes the door behind her.
- >Hard.
- >Rarity jumps and turns around.
- "Twilight, are you-"
- >Her gaze meets yours.
- "A-Anon? What are you doing here...?"
- A. Business
- B. Bizness (dubs)
- C. Leave
- >... Hey, Rarity.
- >She looks at you, shocked that you're there.
- >Obviously she didn't expect you.
- >She turns back to the closet and sorts through a few things.
- "I see you're back from your trip with Applejack..."
- >Yeah.
- >It was fun.
- >Saved a family business and picked apples.
- >Living the life.
- >What's Rarity been up too?
- "Classes and whatnot. Preparing for the finals..."
- >Right.
- >You need to remember that you have those too.
- >Rarity packs up a few more things.
- >Is she... leaving?
- "I... I don't know yet..."
- >Rarity.
- >She doesn't have to leave.
- "Anonymous, this is for the best..."
- >The best for who?
- >The school? Twilight? Winona?
- >Herself?
- >Rarity's always been sorta generous.
- >How selfish can she be?
- >Rarity turns around and gives you a cold stare.
- "You know full well why I'm leaving, Anon! Ho could you... How could you be so ignorant?!"
- >Ignorant?
- >You didn't do anything wrong.
- >Or, you should say you didn't stop her.
- "Anon, I..."
- >Her eyes start to well.
- >Great...
- "Anonymous, how can you even be in here, after what happened. After what..."
- >After what Rarity did?
- >Because, silly girl...
- >You thought "WWJD"
- >And forgave her.
- >Rarity looks surprised.
- "Y-You did?"
- >Yep.
- >You're not mad.
- >Your no stranger to love.
- >You know the rules, and now she does too.
- >It's complicated, and it makes people do crazy things.
- >*cough* Rarity.
- >But that doesn't mean you hate her for what happened.
- >Rarity is still a great friend.
- >She just needs to find someone else to love.
- >Who's single.
- >Rarity starts to cry.
- >Wait, stop, don't do th-
- >A second later, her arms are wrapped around you.
- >Rarity...
- >She looks up at you.
- "A-Anonymous... I'm... I'm so sorry for what I did..."
- >It's okay, really.
- >No harm done.
- >'Cept for the years of therapy you might need later.
- >But hey, what's a couple of thousand compared to Rarity's friendship.
- >She wipes away her tears and takes a seat next to you.
- "T-Thank you, Anon. You're really a great boy..."
- >You've heard that before.
- >But hearing it from Rarity makes it all the more memorable.
- >The two of you chat for a bit about school and the party.
- >It really should be fun.
- >You look at the clock.
- >Shit!
- >Lab time...
- >You start to pack up your things, when you get a vibe from your phone.
- >It's Twilight...
- Twilight: Lab canceled. Luna putting party together.
- >Sweet Jesus, there is a God!
- A. Hang with Rarity
- B. Another room
- C. Dorm
- D. Lounge
- >You've got some free time before Psych.
- >Might as well make the most of it.
- >Is Rarity busy right now?
- "Me? Not at all. Why?"
- >Well, maybe she could help you find a costume for tonight.
- >Y'know, because that's important.
- "I'd love to. Would you like me to make it for you?"
- >Really?
- >Does Rarity have the time.
- "I... er... yes...?"
- >She clearly doesn't.
- >There's no need to stress her out with more stuff you bring on.
- >You grab your stuff.
- >You're taking her out on the town.
- "Really? Now?"
- >Yep.
- >You gotta get a costume from somewhere.
- "I can't go out looking like this!"
- >Then take the robe off.
- >Rarity blushes and goes into the bathroom.
- >A few minutes later, she's back to her normal, fabulous self.
- "Ready to go?"
- >You've been ready for ten minutes.
- >Let's get going.
- >A few minutes later, you find yourself in the college town.
- "I know a few clothing stores that might have something..."
- >Rarity looks you over.
- "First things first, I suppose. What's the look you're trying to capture?"
- >Excuse you?
- *sigh* "What do you want your costume to be?"
- >Oh.
- >Well, hmm...
- >You want to be...
- A. (Dubs)
- >a skeleton.
- >Definitely a skeleton.
- "Really? Not the "thin-man" character I've heard so much about?"
- >Slender... man?
- "Right, him!"
- >Nope.
- >Spooky Scary Skeleton.
- >You gotta send shivers down spines.
- >Rarity looks you over again.
- "I'm not sure how we'll pull it together in time, but I'll see what I can do..."
- >She takes your hand and starts bringing you into the nearest clothing store.
- >After a montage of changing clothes, stores, and thumbs up to the backing track of "Walking on sunshine", you're finally done.
- >You're carrying a few bags of materials with you.
- "Don't worry, Anon. Just leave it with me, and I'll make you the greatest skeleton costume ever."
- >Rarity...
- "Yes, Anonymous?"
- >Thanks.
- >Rarity just smiles and walks.
- >The pep in her step is all the confirmation you need...
- >Rarity closes her room door behind you.
- >Well, your costume is taken care of.
- >Your phone vibrates again.
- Discord: No class today. Helping Luna.
- A. Applejack
- B. Rainbow
- C. Dorm
- D. Help Luna
- >Maybe can help.
- >You're not so busy.
- Discord: Come outside to the main field.
- >Sure thing.
- >A few minutes later, you're setting your stuff down.
- >There are a few people in bat costumes moving equipment around.
- >Discord is talking to Celestia in a corner, while Luna supervises the whole thing.
- >It's looking pretty nice.
- >A few pumpkins here, some lit candles there.
- >This could top a Pinkie party.
- >Thank the gods she's coming back soon.
- >You've missed Ponka...
- >Luna comes over to you.
- "Anon, thanks for coming. I wasn't sure how much help I'd get..."
- >It's no problem.
- >Anything to get out of class, right?
- "Right."
- >So, what does she need help with?
- >Luna points to a few tables on a rack.
- "Could you set those up and put a candle in the center? That would really help."
- >No problem.
- >Luna smiles and runs off to another team of bat-people.
- >Let's do this.
- A. Luna
- B. Discord
- C. Leave
- D. Work
- >You take orders well.
- >You've never been a leader, really.
- >The tables are easy to set up.
- >A few of the stronger bat-men help you out.
- >Thanks guys.
- "The fire rises, brother."
- >Uh, what?
- >That was sort of muffled. Could he repeat that?
- >He's gone.
- >Weird...
- >You start taking the candles and place them on the tables.
- >This job went by fast.
- >You look over to the far back of the now set tent.
- >Celestia and Discord are no where to be seen.
- >In their place is...
- >Vinyl?
- >She's setting up, apparently.
- >As if anyone else could play for the party.
- >Octi, anyone?
- >She's directing some bat-men holding her equipment.
- >Neat.
- A. Luna
- B. Vinyl
- C. Leave
- >You walk over to Vinyl.
- >Hey Vin-
- "Watch the wire!"
- >Whoa, that was close.
- >Thanks.
- "Don't mention it. What's up? Helping the crew?"
- >The Bat-men?
- >Yeah.
- >You figured the best way to start the party was to get it set up first.
- "So true, dude."
- >She puts on her headphones for a second, then wiggles her finger at you.
- "Come here. Listen to this."
- >Sure thing.
- >Vinyl puts her head phones on your head.
- >It sounds like...
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPGqRJHzEIw
- >Shit, that's total cash.
- "It's it though? I've been working on it for days."
- >That's why she was so busy.
- >Well, the fruits of her labor are tasty.
- >Vinyl smiles and looks back at her set up.
- "Thanks. I'm just glad that after this, I get to relax. No more parties for a while."
- >Then she can actually socialize like she wanted.
- "Totally, bro."
- >She starts flicking through the song lists.
- "Any requests from my number one fan?"
- >Octavia isn't here...
- >She elbows you in the ribs.
- "Not stuffy-pants. You, dude."
- >Oh, right.
- >Well, there is one song...
- >You whisper it in her ear.
- "Really? Sure thing dude."
- >Awesome.
- >You get back to setting up.
- >This party should be pretty cool.
- "Attention everyone!"
- >Luna steps up on the stage.
- "Alright, um, thanks for all the help. You should go back and get ready for the party."
- >No need to say it twice.
- >You grab your stuff and head back.
- >A quick shower, then off to the girls hall...
- "Anon! Quickly, get inside."
- >Rarity, what's the rush?
- "I need you to try this on!"
- >She hands you the stuff from before.
- >But it looks... sleeker?
- >No, shinier.
- >No, definitely whiter than before.
- "Just try it! I need to see if adjustments are needed."
- >You go into her bathroom and change into the clothes.
- >...
- >It looks...
- "Yes, yes? Tell me!"
- >It's honestly a great costume.
- >It actually looks realistic.
- >Maybe skeletons are real...
- >Rarity plops down into her chair.
- "Thank goodness. I was worried that you wouldn't like it."
- >Well, now that she mentions it...
- >Rarity sits up, waiting for you to finish.
- >It's perfect.
- "Anon, don't scare me like that! I barely have enough time to finish my own."
- >Don't worry.
- >Whatever Rarity does, it'll look twice as great as your costume.
- >You hug her and head out.
- >As you walk, you hear the sound of arguing coming from Applejack's room.
- >Applejack...?
- >You open the door a little.
- >She's on the phone with someone.
- "But Granny, Ah-"
- >Granny Smith?
- >What's going on...?
- "Ah understan', but Ah can't just-..."
- "But Ah-..."
- "Okay, Granny. Ah'll git mah stuff together..."
- >She hangs up and goes to her bed.
- >Applejack looks pretty sad.
- >Something must've happened...
- A. Go inside.
- B. Visit another room
- C. Dorm
- D. Party
- >You close the door quietly.
- >If it's family business, it's not your business.
- >Even if you are an honorary member...
- >You continue on your journey...
- >Rainbow's door is open.
- >The dog is whimpering though...
- >Fluttershy must be inside.
- >*Knock-knock-knock*
- "Just a minute..."
- >Fluttershy peeks her head through the door.
- "Hello? Who is- eep!"
- >She slams the door in your face.
- >Er... what just happened?
- >Fluttershy, it's Anon...
- "A-Anon...?"
- >Yeah.
- >Just saying hi...
- >Fluttershy opens the door again.
- "I'm sorry Anon. I'm just a little scared today..."
- >Why so?
- "All those costumes... some people tried to scare me in class."
- >What dicks.
- >She'd be safe with you.
- >Everyone fears the spooky scary skeletons.
- >They ain't even real.
- "I... um.. sure...?"
- >So, is she going to the party?
- "No, I... I can't..."
- >Why not?
- >It's gonna be awesome!
- "I can't. All of those people, and it's so dark out..."
- >Winona appears, prompting Fluttershy to pick her up.
- "And I have to take care of Winona..."
- >Well, Fluttershy can suit herself.
- >You've got a party to get to.
- >Has she seen Rainbow Dash?
- "She left a few minutes ago..."
- >Thanks.
- >You say your goodbyes and head out.
- >This better be some party...
- >You head back to your dorm.
- >You need to put your stuff down, get some snacks...
- >Wait, the door's locked.
- >Spike!
- "Anon? Wait a second!"
- >He opens the door a few minutes later.
- >In a dragon costume.
- >Obviously cheap.
- "Hey! My mom made this for me."
- >He's... he's not serious, right?
- "I... uh.. of course not! I bought it."
- >Sure thing, bro.
- >You put down your books and check your phone.
- Femanon: Tomorrow's the big game
- >True.
- >Is she coming?
- Femanon: I still need to see...
- >She'll come.
- >Probably.
- >Spike's turning off his computer.
- >Wait... Spike, turning a computer off?
- >What dimension is this?
- "I gotta go to the party, dude."
- >True.
- >Ready to go?
- "Yep. Let's do this!"
- >You walk with Spike to the lobby.
- >Twilight's coming from the girls hall.
- >She's... um... Albert Einstein?
- "Yep! Father of the theory of relativity."
- >Right.
- >You should pay more attention in physics...
- >The three of you head outside.
- >A few people have already gathered.
- >Vinyl's still setting up a few things.
- >Next to her is...
- >Octavia's quintet?
- >They're all in scarecrow costumes.
- >It's actually sorta impressive.
- >Luna's no where to be seen...
- >Strange.
- A. Octavia
- B. Twi & Spike
- C. Mingle
- >You leave Spike and Twilight.
- >They can find a table themselves.
- >Right now, you need to spread your wings...
- >... you social butterfly, you.
- >You weave your way through the growing crowd.
- >Lots of people in hors- no, pony costumes.
- >Weirder than California Comic-Con...
- >You try looking for anyone familiar.
- >These... furries... freak you out a bit.
- >You've been on the internet long enough to know what they do when they're alone...
- "Ooh, look! A spooky skeleton!"
- >You turn around.
- >That sounded like...
- >Redhear-
- >Whoa...
- >Hellloooo Nurse!
- "Thanks... er... Anon?"
- >Right.
- >You look Redheart over.
- >She couldn't leave the nursing profession, even if it was a costume.
- >Although, the costume is barely covering her.
- "You likey?"
- >You likey a lot.
- >Redheart giggles and looks you over.
- "You know, the doctor is considering letting Pinkie out tomorrow."
- >Seriously?
- >That's great news.
- "Yep. The psychiatrist gave her a clean bill of mental health."
- >What about the drugs?
- "She's off recovery meds right now. I think she's doing much better, personally."
- >Thank goodness.
- "Hey, is that Anon?"
- >Colgate comes over in a sexy dentist's costume.
- >Because dentists can be sexy, right.
- >Meh, you're more into nurses.
- >Redheart giggles as Colgate pinks a bit.
- "Hey, I worked really hard on this!"
- >Did she put it together last minute?
- >At the place she works at?
- "I... uh... no!"
- >Colgate heads of to the snack bar.
- "I better go get her. I'll see you later, Skeleton-man."
- >Later girl.
- >You watch the Redheart chase after Colgate.
- >What a weird pai-
- *FWASH!*
- >What the...
- >The main stage turned into green smoke...
- >What's going on?
- >A white head of hair appears through the smoke.
- >Black skin is attached.
- >Zecora?
- "Thank you, everybody, for your quick arrival. Welcome to the Nightmare festival!"
- >The crowd cheers.
- "Before we see the skeletons and ghosts, please make way for our courteous host!"
- >Another cheer, and then everyone shuffles to the sides of the tent.
- >A few of the bat-men appear, carrying a litter.
- >Because those things still exist, right?
- >They reach the stage, and one helps the girl inside climb out.
- >Luna...
- >She's looking fine.
- >Blue dress, masquerade-style mask.
- >It fits nicely.
- >As she gets on the stage, you can tell she's a little nervous.
- >Probably stage fright.
- >Happens to the best of us.
- "Canterlot University! Together, we shall turn this night of horrors into... um..."
- >Zecora whispers into Luna's ear.
- "Oh, right..."
- >Luna turns back to the crowd.
- "We shall turn this night into a glorious feast, made bright by the moonlight!"
- >She gestures to one of the bat-men, who pulls a rope in the corner.
- >The top of the tent disappears, revealing the full moon.
- "Now, um, celebrate!"
- >Everyone cheers again.
- >Time to party!
- >Vinyl turns up the music while Octavia and her quintet set up.
- >They might sound good together, who knows?
- >You make your way back to Twilight and Spike.
- >Rarity and Applejack are there too.
- >Rarity makes a nice Spider queen... thing...
- "Why, thank you, Anonymous."
- >Twilight gives you a knowing look.
- >Good thing you rectified that issue.
- >Applejack looks good as a scarecrow.
- >As if Octavia's whole theme wasn't that.
- "Ah didn't have much ta go by..."
- >No problem.
- >She still looks good.
- >Applejack just smiles.
- >Halfheartedness is in the air...
- >Twilight looks around.
- "Hey, have any of you seen Rainb-"
- "AH!"
- >Rarity falls back in her chair.
- >What happened?
- "T-there! Don't you see it? it's ghastly!"
- >You look toward the center of the table.
- >A plastic spider?
- >Really, Rarity.
- >The Spider Queen is afraid of spiders?
- "I... Uh..."
- >Laughter comes from above.
- >Rainbow Dash is hanging from one of the support beams of the tent.
- "Rainbow, get down from there!"
- >Rainbow rolls her eyes.
- "Fine, Twilight."
- >A hop, skip, and a jump, and she's sitting at the table.
- >Rarity brushes herself off and fixes her chair.
- "That wasn't very nice, Rainbow Dash..."
- "Hey, it's Nightmare Night. Anything can happen."
- >True dat.
- >Twilight and Rarity go off to get drinks.
- >Spike follows behind, as expected.
- >Go get her, tiger.
- >You look around.
- >This is gonna be some party...
- A. Rainbow
- B. Applejack
- C. Mingle
- D. Dance
- >Vinyl's music permeates through the air.
- >It's so... tantalizing...
- >Must... dance...
- >You get up and take a swig of your drink.
- "Anon, ya want'a dance?"
- >Yes.
- >So much.
- "Well, let's get ta dancin'!"
- >Applejack takes your hand and leads you to the dance floor.
- "Hey guys, wait up!"
- >Rainbow wants to dance too?
- "It's a party. Of course I want too."
- >This should be interesting.
- >The dubstep brings the three of you a little closer.
- >So does the crowd.
- >How many undergrads are here, again?
- >Applejack shakes her way down your body, while Rainbow Dash grinds you from behind.
- >This is... interesting...
- >You grab a pair of Applehips and keep her in front.
- "Keep it sensible, Anon. We're in public..."
- >That hasn't stopped you before...
- >You start grinding on Applejack while Rainbow starts grabbing your chest.
- >Uh, what's she up too?
- "What? This is dancing..."
- >Sure thing...
- >Rainbow pushes off you.
- >What?
- "Maybe I can show you want dancing really is..."
- >She takes Applejack and brings her in front of you.
- >She starts mimicking your actions, but she's... enjoying it more?
- >Your surprisingly okay with your girlfriend grinding on another girl.
- >Applejack turns around and starts moving down, putting her hands on Rainbow's ass.
- >Ooh, this is going well.
- >Maybe you can join in on the fun.
- >You go behind Rainbow and start your classic gyrations.
- >The Anon fire...
- >It's back.
- A. Keep dancing
- B. Get food
- C. Vinyl
- >Rainbow seems to be getting into it.
- >As if you weren't being enthusiastic with your grinding.
- >She barely has any hips to grab, but you make do.
- >Fucking aerodynamic...
- >You lean over and kiss Applejack.
- >You bite her lip a little bit, causing her to squeeze Rainbow's ass a little.
- "Unnh... Applejack, quit it."
- "Why? Ya ain't havin' fun?"
- >Rainbow doesn't say anything.
- >Instead, she returns the favor.
- >How lucky are you right now?
- "Hey, there they are!"
- >Rarity?
- >You swear to God, if Rarity comes over here...
- "Hey Anon! I got you a drink."
- >Fucking Rarity...
- >You get off of Rainbow long enough to take the drink you didn't ask for.
- >Thanks...
- >Well, since the rest of the gang is here, they might as well dance too.
- >Rainbow takes Spike and starts grinding on him.
- >What about your needs...?
- "Ah can take care of that..."
- >Applejack takes the lead this time.
- >Oh, yes...
- "Yoo-hoo, Anon..."
- >You try to turn around but Rarity takes you from behind.
- ^that context
- >She starts moving her hands down your body.
- >Moving down to your waist...
- >Now more center...
- >Rarity... remember what happened last time.
- "I... I wasn't..."
- >As long as she remembers...
- >She keeps her hands there.
- >As long as it's not farther...
- >Applejack doesn't seem to mind sharing though.
- >So maybe...
- >You look around.
- >Spike can barely move, a frozen dragon being caressed by a... dark-bat-monster-pilot thing...
- >Whatever Rainbow is...
- >And Twilight is dancing alone, swinging her arms around.
- >Weird.
- >Rarity lets go of you first.
- "I'm parched. I need another drink..."
- >You're a little tired too.
- >But Applejack ain't letting go.
- >And you're not sure you want her too.
- >Rainbow's having trouble keeping her hands to herself.
- >Those drinks weren't spiked right.
- >'Cause Rainbow's getting Spiked right now.
- See what I did there?
- >Well, through some layers of clothes, at least.
- A. Rainbow
- B. Vinyl and Octavia
- C. Rarity
- D. Mingle
- >You need that drink.
- >You break free of Applejack's grasp.
- "Anon, where are ya goin'?"
- >Just getting a drink.
- >Applejack want anything?
- "Just some punch, Ah guess..."
- >You watch her grab Twilight and start showing her some real dance moves.
- >Despite her apparent lesbian tendencies, Applejack's perfect.
- >You follow Rarity to the punch bowl.
- >It's... green.
- "Yes, the color is a bit... unsettling... But it is delicious."
- >She pours you a cup.
- >It does taste delicious.
- >So, why's the Spider Queen being so nice tonight?
- "I haven't been any nicer than before..."
- >Rarity, come on...
- >She's brown-nosing more than a dog who made a mess on the carpet.
- >Fluttershy would know about that.
- >Too bad she's too scared to be here...
- "Really, Anon. I have no idea of what you mean..."
- >She swirls her drink.
- "I just want to help you... Is that so wrong?"
- >Well, no.
- >But if this about making it up to you.
- >About what happened before.
- >She really doesn't have to do all of this.
- >Rarity doesn't say anything.
- >She just looks up into the sky.
- "It's very nice out, isn't it?"
- >Who said that?
- >You turn around to see a mask.
- >Luna?
- "Hi Anon. Enjoying the party?"
- >Yeah.
- >Luna did a great jo-
- "That dress! Where did you get it?!"
- >Rarity runs over to Luna and starts admiring her dress.
- >A little close, ain't she?
- "This is a Hoity Toity original! You must tell me where you got it!"
- >Luna looks a little uncomfortable.
- >You can't blame her.
- >The two of them start walking away together.
- >What an Odd Couple.
- >Well, now you're at a party alone.
- >Who are you, Napoleon Dynamite?
- >You down the rest of your drink and look around.
- >The gang's still dancing, and Octavia and her quintet have finished setting up their instruments.
- >You can't really see anyone else...
- A. Dance
- B. Music
- C. Mingle
- >You weave your way through the crowd.
- >Dancing can wait.
- >Let's see who else you can find...
- >Outside the tent, there are a few activities going on.
- >Pin the tail on the donkey, bobbing for apples.
- >Hey, is that a bag?
- >Yeah... it's a giant bag.
- >It's bobbing for apples.
- >This place gets stranger everyday...
- >A few people are playing manhunt.
- >Never too old for that.
- >You look to the CU statue.
- >Y'know, that statue that's been on the grass since you came here.
- >There's a whole pile of candy there.
- >Interesting...
- A. Candy
- B. Bob for apples
- C. Dance
- D. Manhunt
- >The bag lifts its head from the bowl.
- >It's Derpy.
- >You wave at her.
- >She comes over to you...
- >As if you were calling her over...
- "Hey Anon! I like your costume!"
- >Thanks.
- >Skeletons aren't real, but they look good on you.
- >Derpy looks at you strangely.
- "Of course skeletons are real. What are you saying?"
- >It's... it's a joke...
- >Nevermind.
- >You look over to the people setting up manhunt.
- >Apparently the guy in charge is...
- >Shining Armor?
- >Derpy, wanna go play manhunt?
- "Sure!"
- >You run over to the manhunt group.
- >Hopefully it's not too late.
- >You make your way through the group, Derpy following close behind.
- >Shining spots you and fists you.
- "What's up, Anon. Ready for some manhunt?"
- >Totally.
- >Shining Armor turns to the rest of the group.
- "Okay, so were doing Hunter rules, guys. You get tagged, you become a hunter. Last man standing wins."
- >This should be interesting.
- >Derpy leans on you a little.
- "This is going to be so fun!"
- >You look around.
- >Hey, Rainbow and Applejack are here too.
- >They're not dancing?
- "Ah got tired..."
- "And Spike wasn't really returning the favor. Unlike you, dude..."
- >Derpy looks at the three of you.
- "What's she talking about, Anon?"
- >Er... nothing...
- >You turn back to Shining Armor.
- "You have the whole forest, the party, and the left field to hide. I'll be 'it' first. I'll give you guys a 2 minute headstart."
- >You start backing away from the crowd.
- >Rainbow and Applejack follow suit.
- "Ready?"
- >Everyone looks tense...
- "Go!"
- "Hey guys! Wait for me!"
- >Derpy catches up to the three of you as the group scatters.
- >So, where should we go?
- "Ah'm thinkin' the party. He can't git us in the middle 'a all those people."
- >That's sm-
- "That'll never work. After Shining gets some more people, that's the first place he'll look. We should go to the forest."
- >Rainbow with Rainbow logic.
- >What about Derpy?
- "Um... I'm not sure. Maybe the left field. Lots of space to run?"
- >Maybe.
- "So what's the plan, Anon?"
- A. Rainbow
- B. Derpy
- C. Applejack
- >The forest is definitely the best bet.
- >The trees provide cover.
- >And you can always hide in them in case the ground is compromised.
- "I'm still going to the left field. It's probably better there anyway."
- >Derpy runs of, tripping over one of her bags.
- >Poor girl.
- >You know she'll be caught first, but that's her loss.
- >What about Applejack?
- "Ah'm gonna head back ta the party. If it gets sticky, ah'll met ya in the forest."
- >Good plan.
- >You give her a quick kiss
- >Before running to the forest with Rainbow, Applejack grabs your arm.
- "Anon, Ah... After this, Ah have ta talk ta ya, okay?"
- >Uh, sure.
- "C'mon Anon! Hurry up!"
- >Applejack gives you another half-smile.
- "Try not'a git caught, okay?"
- >Sure thing.
- >You catch up to Rainbow at the edge of the forest.
- "Alright, Anon. I'm thinking we stay up in the trees."
- >First rule of the Wreckers: Guards never look up.
- These obscure Transformers Prime lines
- >You boost Rainbow up into one of the trees and climb up the one next to her.
- "Now we can relax and watch the others get caught."
- >Rainbow laughs.
- >Shouldn't we help the others out?
- "What are you, a humanities major?"
- >Uh... that's rhetorical, right?
- >Rainbow just laughs and leans against the tree trunk.
- A. Business
- B. Bizness (dubs)
- C. Help players
- D. Switch hiding place
- >You try to get get comfortable on your branch.
- >Try is the optimal word.
- "What are you doing, dude? You're gonna get us caught!"
- >Hey, you're being careful.
- "Just be careful. I'm having fun here."
- >True.
- >So, is she ready for the game tomorrow?
- >Rainbow opens one eye.
- "I think so. I don't think we'll lose or anything..."
- >You weren't asking about the team.
- >You're asking about Rainbow.
- "I... um... Of course I'm ready!"
- >You think back to the practice you watched the other day.
- >Rainbow was getting pushed around.
- >Hard.
- "It's... it's nothing. I needed the practice."
- >Rainbow...
- >She gets up and looks straight at you.
- >The moonlight reflects beautifully on her hair.
- >Freaking rainbows...
- "Anon, look, that away game... We... I should've won it. We only tied..."
- >So?
- >In soccer, a tie is amazing.
- >She should be proud of that.
- "I'm a winner, Anon. I don't tie! I conquer!"
- >Ok, calm down, Atilla.
- >Rainbow needs to realize that it's not high school anymore.
- >College level stuff is harder.
- "I know that. There's just... there's so much riding on this."
- >Like what?
- >The school's reputation?
- >She shouldn't care about that...
- "That's... that's not it..."
- >What else could it be then?
- "I... the scholarship..."
- >Rainbow's scholarship?
- "CU expects us to win. They might cut my scholarship if I don't win."
- >The whole thing?
- "Well, no, but I don't want my family to have to pay anything..."
- >Such... loyalty.
- >Well, other than the D1 status...
- >Rainbow shouldn't worry.
- "And why not?"
- >You make like Tarzan and swing over to Rainbow's branch.
- "Anon, be careful!"
- >You stand there in a triumphant, confident pose.
- "A-Anon, what are you doing?"
- >You bend down and hug Rainbow.
- "Ugh, get off me, dude."
- >She's not really resisting.
- >Body Language tells all.
- >You sit down next to her.
- "Anon..."
- >Rainbow's gonna do fine tomorrow.
- >If she can't win, then the Holocaust never happened.
- >And if she needs support, you'll be right there in the stands, cheering her on.
- "Really?"
- >Totally.
- >Rainbow puts an arm around you.
- "Thanks dude. I... I'd like that."
- >Of course she would.
- >You look at the moon with Rainbow.
- >Dat view.
- >Luna would be jealous.
- "Hey, come back here!"
- >What's that.
- >You look down.
- >A bag runs past, with a few people in pursuit.
- >Derpy?
- "Aw, dammit Derpy..."
- >Rainbow laughs, but covers her mouth as one of the players stops under the tree.
- >Uh-Oh.
- "Who's there?"
- >Guards never look up.
- >But they might get smarter...
- >You look around.
- >There's another tree a little ways away...
- >And there's a definitely-not-spikey bush a little ways down.
- "Anon, what do we do?"
- A. Jump
- B. Bush
- C. Stay
- D. Help Derpy
- >The bush is probably your bet.
- >You put your finger to your lips.
- >You should go first.
- >You don't want Rainbow to injure herself before the game.
- >The guard is still looking around.
- >If you can time it just right...
- >You shimmy around the trunk to the nearest branch.
- >Okay, you're good for now.
- >Time to slide down.
- >Almost there...
- >Alm-
- >Agh! Splinter!
- >You fall into the bushes.
- >You roll behind it, just in case the guard noticed.
- >Luckily, he didn't.
- "Dude, hurry up. We almost got her!"
- "Coming!"
- >The guard runs off.
- "Anon, are you okay?"
- >Yeah, you're good.
- >You brush yourself off.
- >At this point, maybe it's better to keep moving...
- "Suit yourself, dude. I'm staying up here."
- >As long as she doesn't get caught...
- A. Stay
- B. Run
- C. Help Derpy
- D. Find Applejack
- >You gotta look after Rainbow...
- >You lean against the tree.
- "Anon, if you're staying, maybe you should..."
- >Climb up there?
- >Nah.
- >Getting up is the easy part.
- >Falling is easy too.
- >But the pain is the thing you don't want.
- "Suit yourself dude."
- >You start picking at the splinter.
- >Your mind flashes back to the Spongebob episode with the splinter.
- >All. That. Pus.
- "Ew. Dude, shut up."
- >An acorn hits your head.
- >Looks like Rainbow can't appreciate quality programming.
- "Hey, I watch some go-"
- "There ya'll are!"
- >Applejack appears from behind you.
- "Ah was lookin' everywhere fer ya."
- >Oh really?
- >Things get sticky over at the party?
- >Applejack looks a behind her.
- "Yeah. Ah barely got away in time..."
- >She sits down next to you.
- "Hey, is that Applejack down there?"
- >Yep.
- >Applejack looks around, clearly bewildered.
- "Up here, AJ."
- >Another acorn falls.
- "Ah see ya. Come on down here."
- "I'm comfy up here. You two have fun."
- >Rainbow rolls over.
- >The moonlight falls on you and Applejack...
- >The Fantasticks would be proud.
- A. Business
- B. Bizness
- C. Run
- >You move a little closer to Applejack.
- >Your hand makes its way around her waist...
- >Down her pants...
- >Applejack shudders, grabbing on to your wrist.
- "A-Anon, we have ta talk..."
- >Uh oh.
- >Now?
- >You were just getting started...
- "Ah know, but Ah..."
- >She turns away from you.
- "Anon, that letter Ah got there other day..."
- >The one from the Apple farm.
- >What was in it?
- "Granny Smith sent it. She wants me ta come back ta the farm full time..."
- >...
- >..!
- >What?
- >Applejack's not going, is she?
- "We have a chance ta really save the farm, Anon. Granny's only got a few workers an' Applebloom. She needs help..."
- >Applejack...
- >She's not looking at you.
- >But the moonlight is refracted on a single tear that falls.
- >She's going, isn't she?
- >Applejack nods.
- "Ah have ta help mah family, Anon. No matter what, they'll always be most important..."
- >You understand.
- >You just wish you didn't have to.
- >You thought this whole thing was finished when you visited the farm...
- >But apparently that's not true...
- >In the end, you saved the farm.
- >But you couldn't stop Applejack from leaving.
- >Applejack wipes her tears away and turns back to you.
- "Ah... Ah'm sorry Anon. But Ah don't know what ta do now..."
- >What does she mean?
- "Ah have ta start commuting here instead of stayin' at the dorms. We gotta start savin' money."
- >Well, that's not so bad.
- >She'll be here for the rest of the quarter.
- >Applejack nods, but doesn't return your smile.
- "Ah... Ah might not be able ta come back next quarter..."
- >If Applejack leaves...
- >She might be able to commute, but still...
- >No more fritters for breakfast.
- >No more late night dorm sex.
- >Obviously the breakfast is the better of the two.
- >But still...
- >Waiting for her to come back for a whole quarter?
- >And that's not even assured...
- "Anon, Ah... Ah don't want'a leave... All mah friends... you..."
- >You hold Applejack in your arms.
- >The chances of her coming back.
- >Can you risk that?
- A. Break up
- B. Open relationship
- C. Stay with her
- >You sit there with Applejack in your arms.
- >You really don't know what to think of the whole thing.
- >Wouldn't it be the best thing to just stay with Applejack?
- >Maybe.
- >But is the right thing?
- >Maybe you should... make it an open relationship.
- >Applejack breaks free of your arms and stares at you.
- >You can't tell if she's angry or hurt.
- >Probably both.
- "What're ya goin' on about now?"
- >If Applejack leaves, then there's a chance your relationship might not work...
- >Maybe it's just better if you see other people...
- >Or at least try to spend some time away from each other.
- >To get used to not having each other next quarter.
- >Applejack turns away from you.
- "Anon, Ah... Ah'd understand if ya want ta see other girls... but Ah..."
- >You try to hug Applejack again, but she moves away just as fast.
- "Ah can't believe yer tellin' me this. Ah thought... Ah thought that..."
- >She thought what?
- "Anon, can't ya see? Ah love you..."
- >You...
- >You love her too.
- >But you're doing this because you love her.
- >Loving someone who's no longer near you...
- >That can't work.
- >It doesn't work.
- >You love Applejack to much to see her go through that.
- >Without a hurt the heart is hollow...
- "Anon..."
- >Applejack hugs you.
- "Ah'm... Ah'm sorry. Yer right..."
- >You are?
- >Er, of course you are.
- >You give her a kiss.
- >Applejack's been one of the best relationships you've had in years.
- >She's fun, understanding, etc.
- >This is... for the best.
- >As you sit there, an acorn falls on your head.
- >Rainbow...
- End Day 39+
- End Day 39+
- >The three of you wander back to the party.
- >The rest of the manhunt crowd is gathered at the meeting place.
- >Shining Armor waves at you.
- "There you guys are. I was wondering what happened to you."
- >I guess we won, right?
- "Er, not quite, Anon."
- >What, what Applejack?
- >Applejack taps you on your back.
- "Got ya..."
- >God dammit.
