>You roll out of bed and open the blinds.

>The sun's totally in heat.

>You can tell.

That's your fetish

>You take a quick shower and get your stuff together.

>Spike's out and hopefully about.

>Your mind flashes back to yesterday.

>Hmm...

>Pull out your phone...

Applejack (Later?): I'm here for a bit, but not long. Leaving around 2.

>Good to hear.

>As you walk through the lobby, you spot Rainbow heading outside with Derpy.

>Isn't soccer over or something.

>Or maybe they're actually friends.

>Weird.

 

A. A little R&D

B. Class

C. Food

 

>Meh.

>Girls can wait.

>Right now, you should go to class.

>The part of college you're actually paying for.

>Have you shamed famiry enough yet?

>...

>Probably.

>You head on off to physics.

>Where's Twilight?

"How should I know?"

>Oh, right.

>Trixie's here.

"Yes, I know you missed the amazing Trixie, ins't that correct, Aaron?"

>Anon.

"Whatever. I must study for the finals."

>Wait, what?

>When do they start?

"In 20 minutes, dummy."

>Fuck.

 

A. Find Twilight

B. Trixie

C. Study alone

D. Skip finals

 

>The finals are in 20 minutes, and Twilight's nowhere to be found?

>Something is rotten in the state of CU.

>You pull out your phone once again.

Twilight (Where r u?): No response.

>Dammit, Twilight...

>Since the smartest girl you know isn't here to help you study/cheat...

>You're totally gonna regret this.

>Could... Could you study with Trixie?

"You want to study with the great and powerful Trixie?"

>It's not like you want to.

>You're sorta bound by necessity at this point.

"Fine. Follow me."

>Trixie leads you back to the girls hall.

>B building, of course.

>You figure that makes sense.

>She leads you to what you assume is her room.

>Only one name is one the door sign.

>No roommate, Trix?

"My previous roommate could not handle the awesome that is-"

>Trixie.

>Yeah, you get it.

>She lets you inside.

>It's very... blue.

>Not that you expected anything else, really.

"Sit on the bed, I suppose. Take out your books."

>You could've figured that out for yourself.

>You follow Trixie's instructions in order.

"Right. So, first question..."

>What have you gotten yourself into?

 

A. Business

B. Bizness

C. Find Twilight

D. Study alone

 

>You check your phone again.

>Twilight still hasn't responded.

>Ever if she was stuck or something, you'd think she'd have the courtesy to text back.

>Something must be up.

>You're gonna have to cut this short...

"But we just started!"

>Trixie's smart.

>You've seen her start fires during lab, so... yeah...

>Thanks for the offer though.

>You head on out of the B building.

>Where could Twilight be?

>You ask around, but no one seems to know who she is.

>Lol, you thought a nerd would be known around the school.

>Maybe Rarity knows?

>You take out your phone.

>You see the time while you go to your messages.

>10 minutes before the final starts.

Rarity (Twilight): She was at her desk when I left.

>Easy enough to find.

>You head over to the girls hall.

>LYRA?!

"Hey Anon. Want in?"

>Yes.

>You run to Twilight's door as soon as Lyra opens the hall for you.

>It's unlocked.

>You creep in slowly.

>All that time as a skeleton Thursday really added to your stealth stats.

>It's dark inside the room, with the only light coming from a desk lamp across from you.

>Twilight's obviously over there.

>T-Twilight?

>No answer.

>You approach carefully.

>Oh no!

>Twilight!

>S-She's... She's...

>Asleep.

>Twilight, Twilight, wake up.

*snore*

>Cute.

>Maybe if you...

>You go in close to her ears and whisper...

>Finals...

"When?!"

>Twilight bolts upright, knocking her books to the floor.

>Welcome back to the land of the living, Twilight.

>She looks pretty dazed and confused.

>What happened last night?

"I-I was studying for the test, and I... I think I fell asleep at my desk..."

>"Think"

>Clearly, she did.

>Didn't you tell her to calm down about this test business?

"I-I know, but I... The test was so close..."

>You put an arm around her.

>You understand.

>Even if it's totally insane.

>You could only hope to change her.

>Hope is the key word.

>You check your phone.

>4 minutes before the finals.

"Four minutes?!"

>She races into her bathroom.

>Probably a good time to mention she didn't have pants on.

 

>Is she ready now?

"I... I think so."

>The two of you stand outside of the physics room.

>Maybe you should've studied for this.

>...

>Hell, you know you should've studied for this.

>But you'll do fine.

>Right?

>Twilight grabs your hand.

"Sorry, Anon. I'm so... I'm so nervous..."

>You open the door.

>No turning back now.

 

"That wasn't... so bad..."

>Twilight's lower lip is trembling.

>Why is she so bad at lying.

"I-I thought it was okay..."

>Sure.

>For you...

>Well, you definitely should've studied.

>But your basic knowledge from high school should help you along, right?

"I'Ill see you later, alright, Anon? I have to study for Biology..."

>Sure.

>Hopefully she won't overdose on knowledge again.

"I-I won't..."

>You give her a hug and send her on her way.

>She'll be fine.

>Hopefully.

>You head back to the lobby.

>Rarity and Fluttershy are heading back from class. Probably.

>Octavia and Lyra are close behind.

>Though, the two groups aren't acknowledging each other.

>Weird.

 

A. Rarity and Fluttershy

B. Octavia and Lyra

C. Girls Hall

D. Food

 

>The music is more interesting.

>You slip past Rarity and Fluttershy unnoticed.

>Sweet, sweet stealth skills.

>Hey girls.

"Hello Anonymous."

"Hey Anon. Found what you were looking for before?"

>You found her.

>Oh, you found her alright.

"Um, okay then..."

>You laugh to ease the awkwardness.

>Octavia laughs with you.

>It's a new sound.

>It's not bad.

>What's good with them?

"Just wrapping up practice for the quarter. Not much demand for classical music these days."

>True.

>Too bad people don't like their sound.

>It's really not half bad.

>Octavia gives you a smile.

"Anonymous?"

>R-Rarity?

>The fine arts major comes from behind with Fluttershy.

>Meeting of the spirits.

>This should be interesting.

"We were just about to get lunch. Care to join us?"

>S-

"Sure!"

>Thanks for answering, Lyra.

"No problem!"

>Rarity gives Octavia and her high-strung companion a look.

>This really should be interesting.

 

A. Lunch

B. Girls hall

C. Dorm

D. Outside

 

>You might as well join them.

>Barely passing tests always makes you hungry.

>The girls pick out a table, with Rarity saving a seat for you.

>Or was that Octavia.

>Now that you think about it, they are sorta alike...

>Odd.

>The girls start talking about the school and boys and whatnot.

>Rarity and Octavia seem to be hitting it off pretty well.

>Nice.

>And Lyra's trying to get Fluttershy's attention.

>The turtle ain't coming out of her shell...

 

A. Fluttershy

B. Octavia

C. Lyra

D. Rarity

 

>Yeah, Lyra's not gonna get far with her.

"What're you talking about, Anon. She's totally coming out of her shell."

>Fluttershy's sweater has never been higher.

>She's pretty... um... shy...

>In case Lyra hadn't figured it out already.

"Oh, really?"

>Yeah.

"Sorry then. What did you say your name was again."

*mumbles*

"What?"

*mumbles slightly louder*

"It sounds like you're trying to say Fluttershy..."

>Fluttershy nods and goes back to her food.

>So... interesting.

>As you talk to Lyra, your phone starts vibrating.

Applejack: Out of class. You wanted to meet or something?

>Oh, right.

>You check the time.

>It's almost 2 now.

 

A. Applejack

B. Stay and eat

C. Outside

 

>You excuse yourself from the table.

>Something important you have to take care of.

"Oh, well, later then."

>Later, Flootsy/Rarity/Lyra/Octavia.

>Whoever said that last thing, anyway.

 

>You meet Applejack in the girls hall.

>Her room.

>Her OLD room.

>Poor people...

"Howdy Anon."

>She gives you a hug and a quick kiss.

>At least that hasn't changed.

"So how're things 'round here?"

>They've been good.

>You just finished the physics final.

>So there's that for now.

>What about her?

"AS finishes in a few days. After that, Ah gotta git back ta the farm."

>She rubs her arm.

"Granny's been askin' about ya. Always askin' about the family savior."

>She gives you a smile.

>It seems kind of forced.

>Great job, Anon.

"So, what'd ya want'a see me fer, anyway? Ah gotta catch mah ride."

 

A. The "Rainbow" talk (business)

B. Bizness

C. Chat

 

>You...

>*sigh*

>You really need to talk to her about stuff.

"What kind'a stuff?"

>A few things.

>Mostly about you and her.

"Ah thought we clarified all that? It's 'n open relationship now, right?"

>Well, yeah.

>But you're worried that Applejack isn't so thrilled with the open part.

>She turns away from you.

>Obviously you're hitting the nail close to the head.

>Applejack takes a seat on her old bed and looks down at the ground.

"Listen, Anon. Ah think Ah know what yer gonna say..."

>Really?

"Yeah. But, Ah... Ya hafta understand, Anon... Ah love ya too much ta let ya go. Ah thought that maybe ya felt the same way, and that we could be together again."

>She goes silent for a bit.

"Ah... Ah want a happy endin' fer us, Anon. That's all Ah wanted."

>That got emotional fast...

>Silence settles around the room.

>Right...

 

A. Love approach

B. Blunt approach

C. Bizness

 

>You sit down next to her.

>You have to be honest with her.

>You've... seen a few other women...

>Applejack looks at you, obviously shocked.

>She was gonna find out eventually.

"A... A few? Mind if Ah ask ya... who?"

>Not at all.

>First there was Femanon.

"The girl who came ta visit?"

>Yeah, her.

>Applejack looks down.

"Ah sorta thought that somethin' was goin' on with you two..."

>That explains why Applejack was acting so weird on Friday.

"Sorry about that..."

>She gives you another look.

"Is there anyone else?"

>Well, one more.

>You probably shouldn't tell her about Rainbow right now.

>But she should know about Derpy...

"Ya... Ya slept with Derpy?"

>Yes.

>Applejack seems... angry now.

>Why so seri-

"Anon, did ya break up with me or whatever do whatever ya did with us just to be with her?"

>You... what?

>No, of course not.

"How can Ah trust ya? Ah thought you were always gonna be honest with me. Then ya go ahead and sleep with Derpy..."

>Why isn't she mad about Femanon?

"Ah... maybe ya just had ta resolver yer feelin's fer her. That ain't so bad..."

>The calmness is fleeting.

"But that ain't right what ya did, sleeping with Derpy. All because she liked ya, and ya wanted her instead of me?"

>No, no, it's not like that.

>You had the... opportunity...

>And you took it.

>Is that so wrong?

>Applejack starts to tear up.

>You move in a little closer.

>Wait, Applejack-

"Naw, shut up Anon. Ah don't want'a hear it. Ah thought you were dif'rent..."

>You reach for a tissue and had it to her.

>She's... she's in a bad place right now.

>You never meant to hurt Applejack.

>Femmy was a one time thing, for sure.

>Derpy was offering, so you took what you could.

>It's not about feelings for them.

>Applejack looks up from her tear soaked tissue.

"Then what is it about then, Anon? Tell me."

>You look down at your hands.

>Time to switch tatics...

>You... you needed something that could help you move on from Applejack.

"But why, Anon? What'd Ah do wrong? Wasn't Ah good enough?"

>That's just it.

>Applejack was... is... great.

>But being away from her for so long...

>That would never work out.

>There's just no way.

>And that might leave you two in a place worse than where you are now...

>Applejack blows into another tissue.

"Ah... Ah understand..."

>Does she really?

>She nods.

"Ah didn't think of it like that. Ah... Ah must admit, it's all really new to me, this relationship business, but what ya said makes sense."

>She wipes away her tears and gives you a hopeful smile.

"Ah understand, really. This is fer the best."

>Is she going to be okay with all this.

"It's gonna be hard, but Ah'll move on, definitely..."

>She gives you a kiss on the cheek.

"Ah just want ya ta be honest with me from now on, ya hear?"

>Definitely.

>Applejack looks at her watch.

"Ah... Ah better git goin' now. Big Mac is waitin'."

>Applejack gets her stuff and goes to the door.

"Ah'll see ya around, Anon."

>She gives you hug.

 

>You did something right.
