- Femanon...
- >You check your phone, rereading the text that has made you smile all through the week.
- Anon: That’s a yes in my mind. I’ll see you there.
- >You sent a response to him, but he hasn’t responded.
- >Goodness, he’s a shitty texter.
- >It hasn’t even been delivered, according to the text screen on your phone.
- >Fucking douche, he probably just shut off his phone right after.
- >Your professors already said that they wouldn’t have class for the first day of Day of the Dead.
- >El Dia de los Muertos
- >So… yeah.
- >You’re going to Parkinglot University, or whatever it’s called...
- >Spooky ghosts could be roaming the campus grounds today! You’re not having any of that.
- >Two spooky for you.
- >Maybe the skeletons were real…
- >You shake your head.
- >Nope, there’s no way you’re admitting it.
- >Anon definitely didn’t get to you last year at Halloween, no way.
- >You look at the time.
- 12:02 AM.
- >Fuck, is it really past midnight?
- >You put your phone down and fold another shirt. And toss a few socks into your bag.
- >With that big party that was held earlier in the week.
- >And your Psych midterm was earlier. And the late night cramming…
- >You were too busy to even think about packing your bags.
- >You weren’t even sure if you were going to go.
- >You’re kind of nervous.
- >Does he have any new friends? Or maybe even a girlfriend?
- >You pause for a moment.
- >No way. This is Anonymous we’re talking about.
- >He’s not that eager to jump into someone’s pants.
- >Is he?
- >You flip open your phone cover and drum your fingers on the side.
- >Should you even bother texting him? He knows you’re coming.
- >Well… he think’s he knows.
- >Maybe you shouldn’t even go.
- >That’d probably piss him off, and you wouldn’t mind hearing his sad whiny voice over the phone begging you to visit.
- >He’s all cutesy when he’s clingy.
- >You look at the time again.
- 12:03 AM.
- >Only ten hours and fifty-seven minutes to go.
- >Not that you’re counting.
- >You hear the tumblers in your locked door click.
- >It snaps you out of your daze.
- >Your roommate kicks open the door and slams it shut.
- >Fuck that’s loud.
- “Hey…”
- >She walks over to her side of the room and collapses on her bed.
- >Sup.
- “What’s with the bags? You goin’ somewhere? You’re not going to the away game, are you?”
- >You nod and tell her about your visit to Cartesian Plot University.
- “Why do you need to bring so much?”
- >You blink.
- >She stares at you.
- “Whatever, forget I asked. My alarm’s set for 7. Hit the lights when you’re done.”
- >You nod and give her a good night.
- >She covers her head with her pillow.
- ________________________________________
- Anon...
- >You wake up, eager to start the day with new freedom.
- >Not that you wanted that freedom.
- >Applejack…
- >You look at your phone.
- >No messages from anyone.
- >You should really text more.
- >You don’t want to become a recluse like a regular freshman.
- >Spike’s tossing and turning next to you.
- >Probably still dreaming about Rainbow Dash
- >That party was fun.
- >You roll over and get your stuff.
- >A quick shower, and you’re ready to go.
- >It’s the station for the Hype Train out in the lobby.
- >Everyone’s talking about tonight.
- >You overhear a few tidbits of conversation.
- >UCLA’s going down, no class today, got my girlfriend preg-
- >No class today?
- >You turn and notice Twilight making her way through the crowd, bag hoisted over her shoulder.
- >What’s cooking, nerd-looking?
- “Hi Anon. I’m just trying to get to bio…”
- >What bio?
- “What do you mean? There’s no class?"
- >Twilight looks at you frowning.
- >No class today! It's... some kind of holiday.
- >Dia de los Muertos.
- >The funny thing here is that Anon’s Mexican. lel
- "Then what am I supposed to do today?"
- >You don't know.
- >Not like you're complaining though.
- >Midterms are real stressful, and you could use some time off.
- “How could you be thinking about time off? Finals start Tuesday!”
- >This bitch.
- >She makes your spirit more damp than you’ve ever made her snatch.

- >You yawn and take a quick look at your phone.
- 10:45 AM.
- >You have a train ticket.
- >Cloudchaser sighs and grabs her backpack.

- >She walks you over to the girls hall, swiping her ID card into the halls.

- >You knock on the door.
- “Oh… Anonymous?”
- >Fluttershy?
- >Is she still hiding Winona?
- “N-no! Why would you accuse me of that?”
- >You give her a stare, before asking for Rainbow Dash.
- “She’s out practicing.”
- >This early?

- “Outside of the closet. She enjoys walking around the room.”
- >Dammit Fluttershy.
- >She’s gotta be so literal...
- >Need you remind her that Fluttershy could get kicked out for having a pet.
- “Oh… Shining Armor would’ve kicked me out?”
- >That hasn’t been made clear? Or did she just forget.
- >Fluttershy’s such a dolt.
- >Moe dolt.
- >Your phone vibrates.
- >Maybe later, you’ve got bigger fish to fry.
- >You reassure Fluttershy that there’s a difference between caring for someone and smothering them.

- >You know you have to get u-OH FUCK!
- >Thud.
- >OW!
- >You pick yourself up, wrapped in the cocoon of your blankets.
- >And roll your way over to the dresser.
- >Shower time.
- >You pry your hands from the blanket shackles and dig around for some clean clothes.
- >Shirt.
- >Shirt.
- >Shit, you didn’t do laundry this week, did you?
- >You rummage around and find a shirt.
- >You realize it’s Anon’s old shirt from high school.
- >From prom night actually.
- >It’s like three sizes too big for you.
- >You let out a small laugh.
- >Prom night.
- >The memories are flooding back to you.
- >You hug it for a few seconds before finding your towel.
- >Ah… there it is.
- >Fuzzy.
- >Hey, where’d you put that strawberry shampoo?
- ________________________________________
- >Finals start Tuesday…
- >Even if you don’t have class, you still gotta know things.
- >Like, Art History.
- >Because art can save the world.
- >You don’t have any classes with the doormat, so…
- >Later Flutters.
- “Bye Ano-”

- >You take off, pulling out your phone.
- 11:58 AM.
- >The game doesn’t start till 4.
- >Fem texted you?
- Femanon: See you around 12:30.
- >It’s… noon.
- >You head into Rarity’s room.
- >Twilight’s reading a book, while Rarity’s at her desk drawing.
- >Most likely drawing.
- >Maybe she got that job at the studio…
- “Hey Anon. Enjoying your day off?”
- “Anonymous is here?”
- >Rarity swivels in her chair.
- >All she needs is a white cat…
- >You were hoping you could study some physics.
- >Finals start Tuesday.
- >Twilight smiles and drags out a few textbooks from her bag.
- >Lol, did you even buy your own?
- “I’m glad you came. Let’s get started.”
- >You sit down next to Twilight on the bed.
- >Wait a second, Twilight.
- >The vibes call you forth.
- Femanon: Shit, something came up. I can’t make it.
- >That’s.. upsetting.
- >You were looking foward to seeing her…
- >Dammit, Femanon.

- >You get dressed and slip your MacBook into your backpack.
- 11:38.
- >Plenty of time.
- >You flip your phone out and text Anon.
- >See you around 12:30.
- >You kick your suitcase onto its wheels and head out the door.
- >A quick bus hop and you’re on the metro.
- >Train should leave soon.
- >Train ride should take only about 30 minutes.
- >What time is it now?
- “The train is now departing to… (REDACTED).
- >Oh. Noon already?
- >You’re almost there...
- >You quickly tap a text out.
- >Shit, something came up. I can’t make it.
- >This oughta be good.
- >He won’t even know you’re coming.
- >You try combing your hair in the meantime.
- >Your hair is still wet, so your fingers slide through the tangles easily.
- >Sweetness.
- >You step off the train.
- >Train ride was pretty uneventful, and the bus ride to the university shouldn't be special either.
- >At least you’re ahead of schedule.
- >You see a girl with pink hair, straight as a sapling.
- >She’s staring at a brick wall, while passerbies… pass her by.
- >Should… you… maybe?
- >You clear your throat and approach her.
- >Is she okay?
- >She turns at looks at you.
- “I don’t know… I’m kinda stuck here.”
- >Stuck?
- “I have to go to Canterlot University, but I don’t have any money. And my phone is DEAD.”
- >Canterlot?
- >You’re headed there right now.
- “You are? How? There’s no bus service out here to the university… and there’s only one taxi service in town, and they’re booked for the game later today.”
- >You blink.
- >Really?
- >Oh…
- >Well…. you’re out of ideas…
- >Maybe you should text Anon?
- >Or call him?
- >Yeah… you’d like to hear his voice today.
- >You pull out your phone.
- >It’s ringing, you tell the pinkhaired girl… what’s her name?
- >”Anon help, I think I got off the wrong stop on the metro and I'm lost and I can't…”
- >Sniffle once. Augh… damn cold.
- >Your phone starts vibrating.
- >Huh?
- >You look at it.
- >Battery’s dead.
- “Wait… do you-...”
- >She shuffles around a bit.
- >Do you what…?
- “You know Nonny?”
- ________________________________________
- >Twilight opens her book.
- >You follow suit.
- >What you don’t follow is all of her science jargon.
- >Seriously, she understands what Prof. Neigh says in class?
- “Of course. He’s an amazing professor.”
- >Better than Celestia?
- “Of course not!”
- >Dat blush tells all.
- “Really, Anon, I don’t like Celestia like that.”
- >Why doesn’t she prove it then?
- “Prove what?”
- >Twilight likes proofs, right?
- >You failed high school geometry, but this should be a breeze for her.
- “W-what do you want me to do?”
- >Does she remember the other day…
- >When you leaned in…
- >And…
- “Wait, Anon. What about Applejack?”
- >You and AJ have an… understanding…
- >Rarity makes a quick motion.
- >She’s probably not listening.
- “Anon, are you saying that…”
- >Shh.. girl…
- >You lean in again.
- >Twilight closes her eyes an-
- *RING!*
- >Twilight jumps a few feet.
- “I… um… sorry Anon.”
- >No problem.
- >You pick up your phone.
- >It’s… Femmy?
- "Anon help, I think I got off the wrong stop on the metro and I'm lost and I can't…”
- >Is she… crying?
- A. Go get Femanon
- B. Stay
- C. Go to the game early
- >You grab your stuff and run out.
- “But Anon, what about studying?”
- >As if you were about to get any studying done.
- >Later girls.
- >You’re gonna need a ride to the train station.
- >How far is it again…
- >Near the hospital, probably.
- >Maybe… you can trust a doctor just this once.
- >You head to your Psych class.
- >Knock knock.
- “Come in.”
- >Discord, you need a fav-
- “Oh, Anon. Good to see you! Here’s your pay for helping out yesterday.”
- >He hands you a small envelope.
- >That’s nice, but you still need a favor.
- “What do you need?”
- >A ride.
- >An old friend is in trouble.
- “Really? Sounds exciting. Let’s go then.”
- >A few minutes later, you find yourself at the train station.
- “I’ll be right here. Hurry and get your friend.”
- >Sure thing, Professor D.
- “That’s ‘Doctor’ D, to you!”
- >He has a Ph.D?
- >That’s the first time you’ve heard of it.
- >You grab your wallet and make your way through the station.
- >Any altercation can be solved by giving your opponent your money.
- >Life lessons.
- >You look around the platform.
- >Is that…
- >Femanon?
- >She looks… good.
- >Tanned.
- >And more importantly safe- who’s that talking to her?
- >She seems… familiar?
- >Pink hair, straight as a pencil.
- >Kind of thin.
- >A little tired looking too.
- >Her eyes suddenly snap towards you.
- >Holy fuck...
- ________________________________________
- “Nonny’s here.”
- >The girl says quietly.
- >You blink.
- >Well that was fast.
- >She knows Anon, huh?
- >That’s… serendipitous.
- >Does she still need a ride to- wait, of course she does.
- >You grab her hand and drag her along towards him.
- >Hey you!
- “Are you alright?”
- >You nod.
- >But he’s not looking at you.
- “Pinkie? Are you alright? What are you doing here?”
- >Pinkie tilts her head slightly towards Anon.
- ”I’m fine. The hospital is just down the road, so I was going to hitch hike.”
- ________________________________________
- >You still can’t believe Pinkie’s actually here.
- >At the train station, of all places…
- “Hey, Anon! It’s me!”
- >You turn and look at Femanon.
- >Sorry.
- >You were a bit preoccupied with shock and awe.
- >Pinkie looks so… different…
- “Do you know her? She said she’s going back to CU.”
- >Pinkie’s coming back now?
- “The doctor said it was okay…”
- >Her eyes are a little sunken.
- >And her usually vibrant hair is darker…
- >That one doctor clearly doesn’t know best.
- >Good thing you have one waiting outside in the car that can give a second opinion.
- >You take the girls hands and lead them back out to the parking lot.
- “There you are, Anon. Who’re your frien-”
- >Prof- Dr. D’s eyes flick toward Pinkie.
- “Pinkie Pie? Are you sure you’re allowed out?”
- >Pinkie shifts a little.
- “Yes…”
- >Discord shrugs and opens the car door.
- >He might be comfortable with Pinkie, but you’re a little unsettled…
- >And Femanon seems like she’s trying to understand this whole thing.
- >You help Pinkie sit in the passenger seat, and take the back with Fem.
- >She throws a suitcase in your face.
- “Oh… sorry.”
- “Pinkie Pie!”
- >Twilight wraps her arms around Pinkie.
- “I’m so glad you’re back!”
- >The rest of your gang surrounds your long lost friend.
- >Rarity eyes Pinkie’s head.
- “I love what you’ve done with your hair, darling!”
- >Pinkie just nods her head slowly.
- >Applejack turns to you.
- “Er, Anon. Is she okay?”
- >You… think so…?
- >Hey, the important thing is, Pinkie’s back.
- >She mumbles something indiscript.
- “Er, what was that ya said?”
- “Pin….na”
- >What’s a Pinna?
- “My name… it’s not Pinkie… it’s… Pin… Pinkamena…”
- >That’s… nice…?
- >The rest of the group starts bombarding with her questions.
- >You look over to the far wall.
- >Femmy is leaning against the wall.
- >Nonchalant is the new black
- A. Talk to Femanon
- B. Get reacquainted with Pinkie
- C. Go to the game early.
- >You break free from the group and walk over to Femmy.
- >You were pretty sure she wasn’t coming.
- “I did say I was lost.”
- >Doesn’t cut it.
- “I wanted to surprise you. But then Pinkie told me there wasn’t a shuttle from the station to the school, which by the way how have you been living without public transportation? Holy crap…”
- >You have your professors drive you around.
- >Namely, a certain “doctor.”
- >Femmy just shakes her head.
- “That’s fun I guess... I’m not surprised you have the teachers in your pocket already.”
- >Yep.
- >You’re a regular Van Wilder.
- >Or Ferris Bueller.
- >Whoever was the cooler one.
- >She looks at your friend group.
- >Your gal pals.
- “Got any male friends? Or are you coming out of the closet this semester?”
- >For her information, you have a girlfriend...
- “Relax. I’m joking.”
- >She looks at Applejack.
- “She’s the new girlfriend, isn’t she?”
- >You look over at Applejack too.
- >Er… yes… sorta.
- “Sorta? What kind of answer is that?”
- >You’re not really… together anymore.
- “Why not?”
- >It’s complicated.
- >The story involves apples, banks, and tradition.
- >And a Fiddler on the Roof.
- >How’d she guess Applejack, anyway?
- “Because she keeps looking at you…”
- >Really?
- >You watch Applejack.
- >Her gaze meets yours, but she quickly turns back to Pinkie.
- >What you decided yesterday…
- >That definitely wasn’t a mistake, right?
- “Who’s the Pinkie girl? She looks… I’m not going to finish that sentence.”
- >You turn your gaze towards Pinkie.
- >She looks…
- >Er… right…
- >Hey, at least she’s back.
- “What’s her story, anyway? She went out of town for a trip or something?”
- >Trips to the hospital are never fun…
- >Femmy’s eyes widen.
- “She was in the hospital? Why?”
- >It’s a long story.
- ________________________________________
- >You have time.
- >Anon sighs.
- “Fine.”
- >Who is Pinkie?
- “Oh, you know… just some girl that’s generally fun all around. She wanted to join a sorority, who then sold her to their drug dealer Blueblood who tried to rape her…”
- >Blue blood?
- “Actually it was more Red Blood, but you know.”
- >What?
- >”I stopped him by stabbing him in the leg… yep.”
- >You blink.
- >Again.
- >One more.
- >You shake your head.
- >And here you thought your college stories were nuts.
- >You look at Pinkie.
- >Is she going to be okay?
- >Anon nods hesitantly.
- >He doesn’t look too sure of himself.
- >Just… keep an eye out for her okay? Who knows, she might need a knight in shining armor again…
- >…
- >Speaking of which…
- >You rummage through your suitcase and toss him his shirt.
- >Giving that back to ya.
- “Uh, why?”
- >You stare at him.
- “Okay. Er... thanks.”
- ________________________________________
- >You take the shirt and stuff it into your bag.
- >You thought she loved that shirt.
- >You thought… Femmy loved you…
- “W-what?”
- >Just kidding.
- >You dodge the suitcase to the face.
- >So, is she staying the weekend?
- “I don’t think so. I’ve gotta get all my stuff together for finals, y’know?”
- >You know that feel.
- “No you don’t!”
- >Twilight?
- >Fuck off girl.
- A. Food
- B. Go to the game early
- C. Study
- >Your stomach growls.
- >The hunger… it calls to you.
- >Is Femmy hungry?
- “A little bit. I spent most of my cash on the ride here though…”
- >Guess you’re buying lunch.
- >Hey gang, food?
- >They all shout various noises of agreement.
- “Hey, a little help, maybe?”
- >Oh, right.
- >Femmy’s suitcase.
- >You should take it…
- >But it wouldn’t be funny that way.
- “Anon…”
- >Alright, you’ll take it.
- >You grab the handle and start walking with the rest of the gang.
- >The rest of the gang finds a table while you grab some food.
- >You hope they’ll like bananas…
- >You take a seat next to Femanon while the others start digging in.
- “Couldn’t ya git anythin’ besides bananas?”
- >You could, but apple pie wasn’t available.
- >Applejack pinks.
- >Oh, the slices of pie you had…
- >FULL RELAPSE
- >JACKSON 5
- >OH BABY GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE
- >Ahem…
- >Fem’s looking around the dining hall, smiling like a goof.
- >Everyone else is nomming.
- A. Pinkie
- B. Femanon
- C. Applejack
- ________________________________________
- >Wow, this place has really high ceilings.
- >And elaborate architecture too.
- “You look happy.”
- >It’s a nice change of scenery.
- >The girl with the purple hair speaks up.
- “Probably could say the same for Pinkie Pie too…now that she’s back in our company.”
- >Pinkamena looks up. She doesn’t look great.
- >Anon looks a bit… worried…
- >It’s nice to see that he cares about her.
- “Are you okay, Pinkie?”
- >She nods.
- >You’ve known her for a grand total of, what, 50 minutes?
- >There’s no way she’s okay. Doesn’t take a doctor to see that.
- >She clears her throat and quietly speaks.
- “I’m fine… there’s no need to worry.”
- A. Worry about her
- B. Let it go.
- C. Talk to Anon.
- ________________________________________
- “Are you sure?”
- >Fem puts her fork down. This is real right now.
- >The rest of the group looks at Fem.
- >And it’s safe to say you give the same look too.
- >Femanon was always pretty empathetic, but…
- >She doesn’t even know this girl. Where is this even coming from.
- “Don’t get me wrong, but she doesn’t look too great.”
- >Well… this obviously hasn’t been the best that you’ve seen Pinkie… but it’s certainly not her worst.
- >Pinkie looks away.
- >Begging for more drugs and sex… now that was horrible.
- >You clench your fist and look away.
- “I told you… I’m fine…”
- >Pinkie’s almost at a whisper, when she takes a sip from her drink.
- >The rest of lunch goes by… solemnly.
- >Lunch ends shortly after. Finally out of that menagerie of blegh.
- >Goodness, doesn’t it feel great to be outside?
- >It’s a wonderful Autumn day.
- >Pinkie smiles faintly… and simply nods.
- >Well shit, there goes the happy.
- >Wonder if she’ll ever cheer up again.
- >Femanon follows behind you…
- “So… what now?”
- >As they used to say at the start of X-play.
- >It’s game time.
- >Twilight veers off.
- “I have to study… I’m still not sure about the whole kinematics examples our professor gave us.”
- >Yeah, you know some of those words too.
- “I also have to leave you all. Project’s not going to finish itself! It was a pleasure meeting you, Femanonymous.”
- >Rarity shakes Femanon’s hand and follows Twilight.
- >So… that leaves Applejack.
- >Hopefully your relationship isn’t as Rocky as Philadelphia was in the 80s.
- “Ah think ah might be heading off myself…”
- >Nope, it’s about as Rocky as Ivan Drago himself.
- >Nothing more fun than watching a soccer game with your old high school friend.
- >implying she wants to watch it too.
- >Applejack takes a step away.
- A. Ask AJ to stay
- B. Let her go
- C. Femanon
- >Wait, Applejack.
- >AJ turns around, looking a little… awkward.
- >Seeing you with Femmy must be really hard on her.
- >Especially after last night.
- >Wait, she doesn’t know Femmy’s your ex, right?
- >Woman's intuition, probably.
- “What do ya need?”
- >It’s not really a need.
- >More like a want.
- >You want Applejack to come to the game with you and Femmy.
- >Applejack looks at you, then to Fem, then back again.
- “Ah… Ah’ll come later. How’s that?”
- >That sounds good.
- >You say goodbye to Applejack and lead Femmy outside.
- >There’s a small crowd already gathering outside.
- >The UCLA side is totally packed.
- >Some schools actually have school spirit.
- >Go figure.
- >You and Femmy take a seat on the CU side.
- >Rainbow’s shooting goals against the goalie.
- >She’s looking good out there.
- >The clock reads 3:38. Still some time to squeeze before kickoff.
- A. Femanon
- B. Get snacks
- C. Go down to the field
- ________________________________________
- “So, what’s new at UCLA?”
- >Not much.
- >You’re not exactly in the mood for talking about your college experiences.
- >Besides, he seems to be having a lot of fun, especially with all of these girls hanging around him.
- >Has he been sleeping around?
- “Not really. Applejack was really the only one...”
- >Right.
- >Applejack...
- >You resist the urge to ask him about her.
- >His love affairs aren’t your business anymore...
- >Anon’s gaze turns back to the field.
- >Gotta save this conversation...
- >Any other friends you should know about?
- “A lot of them.”
- >Oh god, he’s outperforming you.
- >The crowd begins to cheer, and Anon puts your shit down and brings his attention to the game.
- >Never thought you’d see him with this much school spirit.
- >Fight songs play. You droop your head during CU’s… and you lazily mouth the words to UCLA’s.
- >You watch as your soccer team files out to the field.
- >There’s Cloudchaser.
- >She’s starting?
- >You feel bad for having not gone to any of her games. You barely follow soccer as it is.
- >You see a girl that looks practically identical to her, save for her hair tied up in a pink bow.
- >The hell?
- >You’re eyes are fucked up aren’t they?
- >You can make out a few letters on her jersey.
- >Flint… Flickr?
- >Flitter. Flitter?
- >Are they related? Cloudchaser never told you she had a sister.
- >Maybe you’re just a bad roommate.
- >And… kickoff. Woo.
- >The game’s exciting to watch for [ this much ]
- >And there goes the excitement.
- >Anon falls back into his chair, equally unenthused, starting on that pretzel dog.
- >After a bite, he smiles…
- >Shit, it’s infectious.
- >You smile back at him.
- “What?”
- A. small talk
- B. business talk
- C. Bidnis talk

- “I’ll try not to gag.”
- >She fails.
- >Honestly though, it’s good to see Femmy again.
- >She looks pretty good.

- >He’s so… nice now.
- >And all those friends…
- >How did he do it?
- “I guess i’m just a likeable kind of guy.”
- >Yeah, just like Vader.
- >He laughs and turns back to the game.
- >Dammit Jim, you’re losing him.
- >There’s one thing you want to ask him…
- >But you’re not sure if it’s okay…
- “Ask away. I’ve got no secrets.”
- >Well, since he’s okay with it…
- >What’s up with him and Applejack?
- >Anon just leans back on the bleachers.
- “I… We’ve been dating for a while.”
- >You could’ve guessed that.
- >But what’s with the obvious tension?
- “We’re not… as of yesterday, at least… not ‘together’ anymore.”
- >Like, an open relationship?
- >Anon nods.
- “There’s just a lot going on in her life right now. It’s better this way.”
- >You turns back to the game.
- >As if you couldn’t see through his lies.
- >But he sounds considerate.
- >He’s changed a lot…
- >So, this open relationship…
- >How does it work, exactly?
- “I’m not really sure. I guess I can start sleeping around now.”
- >That doesn’t surprise you at all.
- >As if he coul-
- >Well, with all of those girls…
- >You shake the thought out of your head.
- >You’re not… jealous, right?
- >Of course not.
- >You could have a man, if you didn’t have to study all the time…
- “Jealous?”
- >No!
- >You shift through your suitcase.
- >You’re not gonna let him get to you. You’re not gonna let him get to you…
- >You watch one of the CU players push the ball up the sideline, outplaying one defender before losing the ball.
- >Anon gets on his phone.
- “Hey, Octavia? You coming to the game?”
- >Octavia?
- >Holy Roman Empire, Batman.
- “Oh… well there’s someone here I want you to- Huh? Oh… y-yeah… I see her.”
- >He’s waving again.
- >A girl with bright blue hair approaches him.
- “Heya dude. This your latest girlfriend?”
- >Pow, keywords.
- >Girlfriend?
- >Latest?
- >You weren’t… I mean you did date, but-...
- “She’s my best friend from high school.”
- >His words cut into you.
- >Yeah… best friend.
- >You shrug it off.
- >You offer your hand and introduce yourself.
- >Femanon.
- “Vinyl Scratch. DJ Extraordinaire!”
- “What’s the score?”
- “Still a couple of goose eggs. Dash doesn’t wanna turn it on yet.”
- >Corner kick for CU.
- >They take it short, and swing it around the box, setting up for an easy slot into the right net.
- >Anon stands up and cheers.
- “Nice!”
- >Vinyl and Anon high five each other.
- >Cloudchaser and Flitter both call out to the goalie.
- >Poor Blossomforth.
- >You feel kinda bad for her.
- >And the ref blows a whistle. Halftime?
- “I gotta get back to work. I’m inspired now. Nice meeting you, Fem.”
- >Yep.

- “Anon?”
- >You turn to her…
- “Do me a favor and get some food? Real food?”
- >Bananas ain’t gonna cut it.
- >You sigh as you stand back up… you owe her.
- “Thanks!”
- >You go out to wait in line at the concession stand.
- >And who do you run into?
- >Um…. uh…
- >Oh, yeah! Lyra!
- “Hey Anon! How’s it going?”
- >You’re good.
- >Just getting reacquainted with old friends.
- “Old friends, eh?”
- >Lyra nudges you in the ribs.
- >God, that hurts…
- “Where is she?”
- >”She?”
- >How does Lyra know...
- >You’re just… you’re just getting Femmy some food.
- >You return with a burger in hand.
- >Now the other hand.
- >And back to the original hand.
- >It’s warm so you’re kinda just juggling it to disperse the heat.
- >Hopefully you don’t drop it.
- >Fem laughs at you.
- >She grabs the burger from you and places flattened palms on both sides of the wrapper.
- >And holds them there.
- “Get on my level.”
- >She takes a large bite.
- >Game’s back on.
- >A tie game?

- >You watch the second half unfold.
- >87 minutes in.
- >You watch as that rainbow girl streaks up the field, calling for the ball.
- >Anon jumps to his feet.
- “Come on Rainbow!”
- >Anon?
- >When did he become so… enthusiastic?
- >Wait, you already know.
- >After prom night he became a…. what was that term they used in high school?
- >Alphamale?
- “You’re thinking too hard.”
- >Huh?
- >“It’s showing on your face.”
- >He sits back down next to you handing you some cheese fries.
- >His hand is outstretched.
- “Pay me back at least half?”
- >You sigh.
- >How much was it?
- “Thirteen fifty.”
- >What? That’s robbery!
- >The highway kind…
- >You dig through your bag for your wallet-why is he shoving a fry in your face-...
- >You chomp on his finger.
- >No reaction.
- >Doesn’t this hurt?
- >He’s just leaving it in your mouth.
- >Oh god.
- >He’s so not doing this to you.
- “Not doing what?”
- >... you didn’t say that out loud.
- >You spit his finger out.
- >He gives you a weird look and starts poking your side.
- >You jerk away from him.
- >Cut that out.
- >He knows you’re ticklish.
- “Exactly.”
- >His hands start doing some weird motions.
- >Seriously, cut it o-OUT!
- “As if you’re not enjoying this.”
- >You’re definitely not.
- “Can’t look me in the eye and say that?”
- >Dammit.
- >He grabs your hand and makes a break for the exit.
- >What about the game?
- “It’s soccer. It lasts a while.”
- >Hey is that Applejack?
- “Oh, howdy Anon. Leavin’ early?”
- “Just showing Femmy around.”
- >You lock eyes with Applejack.
- >What’s Anon playing at…?
- A. Applejack
- B. Anon
- C. The game
- ________________________________________
- >Applejack.
- >Of course she comes, just as you’re trying to-
- >Wait, what are you doing?
- >Oh, right.
- >Showing Femmy around.
- >You pretend not to notice the two girls staring each other down.
- >It’s not like you’re doing anything with Femmy…
- >And it’s not like you and Applejack are together anymore.
- >Whatever your relationship is now…
- >Femmy lets go of your hand.
- “You should go back to the game. I can look around by myself.”
- >You forgot that she was a strong independent black woman who ain’t need no man.
- >Is she sure?
- >You watch her look at Applejack, then back at you.
- “Yeah. I’ll be fine.”
- >Femmy lifts up her suitcase.
- >Lol, she’s still carrying that thing?
- “I gotta find a place to put this, anyway. Have fun at the game.”
- >She waves and runs off somewhere.
- >Applejack moves a little closer.
- “She’s a mighty fine gal, ain’t she?”
- >She’s alright.
- >A little different from when you last saw her…
- “Who is she anyway? Ya never intr’duced me formally.”
- >Femmy?
- >She’s your… er… Ex-girlfriend...
- >Applejack gives you a look.
- >What?
- >You did say “Ex”
- “Ah know that… Ah just thought…”
- >What, was she worried?
- “Ah… Ah guess so…”
- >Really?
- >Like, jealous?
- >You’ve never had a girl jealous over you before…
- >It feels… right.
- >Applejack doesn’t have to worry though.
- >It’s not like you and Femmy…
- >You take a seat next to Applejack.
- >Vinyl is conveniently nearby.
- >You miss anything?
- “The game’s in overtime! There’s a penalty shootout now!”
- >The referee blows a whistle.
- >Only one thing to do...
- >You slowly start to chant Rainbow’s name.
- >She’s taking the kick, right?
- >Vinyl follows your lead, arms flailing wildly.
- >The players haven’t even done anything yet…
- >Applejack takes your hand and pumps the other.
- >Pretty soon, the whole CU side of the stadium is cheering her name.
- >The two teams line up.
- >The ref flips a coin.
- >UCLA kicks first.
- >Flitter is up.
- >She kicks the ball to the left side of the net, just beyond the goalie’s reach.

- >C’mon, Rainbow…
- >She’s up next.
- >You see her take her place, setting the ball down.
- >You close your eyes…
- >Rainbow’s prepping the ball…
- >You open your eyes.
- >What was once Rainbow Dash is now a pile of laughing and cheering jerseys.
- >CU… CU won?
- “Yeah! We won!”
- >Vinyl jumps up and down.
- >Applejack brings you in for a kiss.
- >This is so awesome!
- >You look down at the field, a growing mass of people and energy.
- A. Go down to the field
- B. Find Femmy
- C. Applejack
- >You watch as the bleachers around you start to empty.
- >They’re all rushing towards the field, ready to parade their team.
- >Why not join them?
- >Applejack follows closely behind as you rush forward.
- >You run up to field level.
- >Gotta let your bro know how much hypes you have.
- >All 7 hypes.
- >Now you can wish for your best friend to come back to life.
- >Shenlong pls.
- >She comes running to the sideline, makes eye contact with you.
- “Anon! Did you see that?”
- >She’s yelling.
- >You open up the hug gates.
- >Bracing yourself for something real sweaty.
- >And her team takes her away…
- “Oh! Sorry dude! I’ll see you later!”
- >Right… team first.
- >tfw you remember the bonds and love you used to have for your team
- >implying you’ve been on a team
- >Dash and the goalie are getting appreciated so hard.
- >Damn, what you would pay to be in that dogpile.
- >Naked.
- >You turn back around and see Fem, just chilling on the bench.
- >Didn’t she leave to go exploring?
- >Must be irked that UCLA got beat… by a Div 2 school.
- >You head back up to her.
- >What’s she doing back here?
- “There’s not much to do when everyone’s out here.”
- >True.
- >So… um...
- >Dorms?
- “Dorms.”
- >The walk over there is pretty quiet.
- >You feel like you’ve caught up already…
- >But you feel like you’re missing or forgetting something.
- >Something you need to say or do...
- >You swipe your card into the lobby, and keep the door open for Fem.
- A. Find your friends
- B. Hang with Femmy
- C. Get more food

- >Anon’s so different now.
- >Almost better than when you were last with him.
- >Almost likeable...
- >So many friends.
- >What the hell happened to you.
- >You bite your lip.
- >You want to ask him something.
- >It’s stuck in your throat.
- >But you can’t bring yourself to say it.
- >He’s happy, and he’s probably not all that concerned about you.
- >It’s just…
- >He’s your friend.
- >A part of you still wishes you were in summer.
- >Where you two were more than that.
- >You let out a quiet, dejected sigh.
- >He doesn’t need to know that.
- >And it doesn’t really matter.
- >It’s just romance.
- >You’ll get over him. Eventually.
- >He is, and always will be your friend.
- >And you’re not going to cause any drama or cockblock him.
- >He’d do the same to you.
- >He did the same to you, actually.
- >He leads you to a door and opens it for you.
- >You give him a nod of thanks.
- >He closes the door behind him.
- >Uh, what’s he doing?
- “This is my dorm, you know?”
- >Right.
- >You put your suitcase down on his bed.
- “Hey Anon.”
- >You hear a voice from out of nowhere.
- “How was the game?”
- “It was fun. You should’ve gone.”
- >Where- who is that?
- >The chair at the corner desk swivels around.
- >It’s a short guy with greenish hair.
- “Fem, meet my roommate, Spike. He’s cool.”
- >Uh, sure.
- >The two of them make idle conversation while you look around.
- >It’s surprisingly neat, for Anon.
- >Totally not like his room back home.
- >Or his bed…
- >He really has changed.
- “I’ll see you later, Anon. Gotta meet Twilight for something.”
- >Spike gets his stuff and heads on out.
- >What, no “nice to meet you”?
- >Some friends.
- “They’re pretty nice.”
- >Sure.
- A. Buziness
- B. Bizness
- C. Leave

- >Who knows if you’ll have a chance to see her again.
- >You scooch a little closer.
- “Uh, what are you doing?”
- >Getting comfortable.
- >It is your bed, after all.
- “Right.”
- >Femmy doesn’t move away.
- >She’s just sitting there.
- >How do you twiddle a thumb anyway?
- “So, anything you wanna do? Talk about? It’s been a while.”
- >Well, you pretty much told her the entire epic volume of your college life.
- >Battling evil sororities, changing relationships for the better[?]...
- >The usual.
- “Still don’t know how you pulled off that last one.”
- >Applejack’s understanding.
- >She shakes her head.
- “Applejack didn’t look very happy, idiot.”
- >She looked fine to you.
- “Whatever.”
- >She starts unzipping her suitcase.
- “Where’re the showers? I feel all disgusting right now.”
- >You point her in the the right direction.
- >You’ve never steered her wrong before.
- “Thanks.”
- >Wait… this is the boy’s dorm.
- >Femmy’s adaptable...
- >But not that adaptable.
- >You should probably go and tell her.
- >You open the shower room door slowly.
- >The sound of rushing water…
- >Hopefully she hasn’t been caught yet.
- >Then again, you’d probably have seen some guys running out of there, so…
- >You take a peek inside.
- >Femanon had to take the closest shower head.
- >She looks… hella nice.
- >Dat California sun.
- >She puts down her shampoo and soap on the tray and runs her hands through the water.
- >That bottle looks like the old one she used to use.
- >The strawberry scented shampoo.
- >You’re strictly a banana man, but… fuck…
- >It’s like she’s trying to tempt you.
- >You know she wants it.
- Blurred Lines
- >Wait, what about-
- >About Applejack?
- >Your relationship with her is… over…
- >Right?
- >Whatever it, one word stands out.
- >Open.
- >So maybe you should be taking advantage of the situation…
- ________________________________________
- >Holy fuck, it’s freezing in here.
- >You turn on a few more shower heads to get some heat circulating.
- >Your clothes are folded on top a locker just outside the showers.
- >Why are all the stalls so… open?
- >Whatever.
- >You stick your hand in a stream of water.
- >It’s warm.
- >But not hot enough for you yet.
- >You wait for a minute.
- >Damn.
- >You feel kind of… depressed.
- >Anon’s… doing well. Leaving you behind.
- >Not that it matters, you already decided you weren’t going to do anything with him.
- >Besides, he’s getting plenty of attention from all of those girls.
- >And Applejack seems to really like him as well.
- >You lather some shampoo into your hair.
- >Everything seems to revolve around him.
- >You close your eyes and let water wash away the scented suds.
- >At least he isn’t trying to sneak into the shower room.
- >You double checked that the door was locked.
- >Unless he learned how to pick locks, there’s no way he’s going to just-
- “Hey.”
- >What the?!
- >You feel a hand reach over from behind and clamp down on your mouth.
- “Don’t scream. It’s just me.”
- >Anon?
- >Fuck man…
- >Your heart is pounding so hard right now.
- >You pull his hand away from your face.
- >He rests both his arms against your shoulders.
- >How did he-
- “Door was open.”
- >But you locked it. You made sure you locked it.
- “Yeah, the boys’ shower door doesn’t lock unless there’s a lot of steam.”
- >Steam?
- >Wait wait wait… boys’ shower room?
- >Fuck.
- “You look nice.”
- >Huh?
- >Whoa there cowboy.
- >You pull your arms close to your chest defensively.
- >Anon, don’t get any funny-
- “You smell nice too.”
- >Wha?
- “Strawberries, right?”
- >He spins you around and plants a kiss on your cheek.
- >You’re struggling to keep your lips from meeting his.
- >He’s into other girls now.
- >Besides, you both agreed to see other people.
- >You know, like Applejack...
- >You’re not sure you want to-
- “For old times’ sake.”

- >She’s actually doing about 20%.
- >Her lips are sweet.
- >Wrapping around yours so naturally.
- >You wrap your arm around her neck.

- >You missed that.
- A. Keep going
- B. Calm down
- C. End it

- >You’re losing your mind right now.
- >This is exactly the type of thing you were trying to get away from.
- >The feeling of water spraying against your back while Anon’s lips gently tug yours.
- >You pull away from his face, gasping for air.
- >Anon…
- >You let out a soft sigh.
- >Anon grabs you and slides you up against the stall door.
- >His hands slide down your wet body.
- >He gives your side a poke.
- >Hey!
- >Really?
- “I’m just fucking with ya.”
- >He repositions himself, grabbing your legs.
- >Whoaa!
- >Your hands grab for the top of the stall door for support.
- >This is... new?
- >He smirks and pries your legs apart.
- >Wait, Anon...
- >You try to pull away from him, but your body is pinned.
- >You don’t want to deny him.
- >It’s Anon.
- >He knows you so well.

- >Hey, you’re a gentleman.

- >Put it in?
- >That’s what you came for.
- >You grab her hips and thrust.
- >Luckily she was holding onto door…
- >Let’s be cliche
- >You take it slow at first.
- >She seems… tighter?
- >Those UCLA guys must be either really small, or just scared of Femmy.
- “S-Shut up…”
- >You shift around a bit, your hand against the door near the crook of her neck.
- >You lean forward and nibble her ear.
- >Strawberry bubbles-
- >That was… weird. Didn’t taste like any fruit you’ve ever tried.
- >Nope, tastes like rose petals.
- >Like bitter, soapy, salty... rose petals.
- SB: I actually taste-tested that for you guys… just saiyan.
- >At least it’s non toxic.
- >You shake away your knowledge of botany and look back at Femmy.
- “C-Can we switch?”
- >You live to serve.
- >You hoist her up and turn 180.
- >With the door to your back, you push in once again.
- >She takes one hand and reaches for yours.
- >Hopefully the other one can take it.
- >You lock fingers as she picks up the pace.
- >There’s no stopping this train.
- >This could be more comfortable, but Femmy’s into it now.
- >You take your free hand and start rubbing her clit.
- >Buck wild, man.
- “Anon!”
- >Her cry is enough to bring you to a close.
- >You pull out and cum on her chest.
- >The shower water washes away the fruit of your labor just as fast as you put it on…
- >Femmy steps down and leans against the door.
- >The two of you stand there, catching your breath.
- >You look at her.
- “What?”
- >You give her another kiss.
- >It’s… nothing…

- >He has a whole new life here at CU.
- >Friends, cool professors, a girlfriend who still loves him.
- >Hopefully you didn’t mess that up…
- >But, hey, at least you got to be with him one last time.
- >Even if you… fuck, your feelings are a mess right now.
- >But he doesn’t need to know that.
- >You shouldn’t screw his love life here…
- >You return the hug.
- >You hear a squeaking sound from behind you.
- >And feel a cold downpour crash across your back like a blizzard’s wind.
- >Asshole!
- >Don’t ruin the moment
- “Too late.”
- >He glides away, out the shower room.
- >Dick.
- >You get your stuff and follow Anon’s trail back to his room, towel tight around your body.
- “Need any help packing?”
- >He sounds so eager to get you to leave.
- >He busy with Applejack later or something?
- >You turn to look at his face.
- >You expected some look of regret, or remorse.
- >Instead, he’s smirking.
- >What’s so funny?
- “Nothing, nothing.”
- >He sits down on the bed.
- “I just don’t know what to make of the whole thing.”
- >He starts laughing.
- >Is he really that fucking dense?
- >You give him a pained smile.
- >Guess he hasn’t changed that much…
- >You don’t have a ride to the station…
- >Well… you’ve got two feet.
- >Time to start walking.
- >You wave goodbye to Anon before stepping out of his room.
- >Which way are you supposed to go again?
