> Lyra did look to have dirty clothes > She did live in a fucking alleyway after all > You decide to go buy her something > It'd also be a good excuse to check around town > You didn't her size and if you tried to measure her, it'd probably end in a legal matter > You'd do your best to guess > You make sure to leave a note next to her for when she wakes up > You head out the door and down to the street> Lucky for you, there was a shopping district close by > You walk down Orchid, seeing how much you had to spend > Only $200 eh? > You look for the nearest clothes store "That one looks decent" > You say to yourself and walk in> You go to the girls dept. > Hmm, what would she like? > Fuck it, you're not a fashionista so a medium blue top and medium sweatpants should be good > You walk to the register >"Buying for the missus?" Says the cashier > You chuckle softly as you scratch the back of your head > Only $26 > It may not be much, but its better than nothing> You walk out with the bag in hand >"Anon!"  > You turn to where your name is being called > Hey, its Rainbow Dash and the gang > You wave and walk over to them >"Howdy there Anon, what are ya doing here?" Asked AppleJack >You don't know how to respond "Well...I uhm..." >"He's probably just buying some new clothes duh" replied Dash > You nod, internally thanking her >"You in a hurry? Maybe you'd like to hang with us for a bit?" Dash asked > You wouldn't mind it, but you really don't want to leave Lyra alone. > You really would love to hang out but leaving a stranger alone in your house is not on your priority list "I'd love to, but I gotta go...." > You pause for a moment and think >"Go..?" Says Dash "I gotta go and install my computer, many chords and, ahem, stuff" > They look at you suspiciously and nod >"Okay, but yah gotta hang out with us later" says AppleJack > You nod and head off back to your apartment.>You walk upstairs to and go into your apt. >"Oh Anon! Um, thank you for letting stay and sleep for the night. So, I thought I'd make you breakfast." > You stare behind her as a plate of eggs and bacon was sitting there, as well as a lot of dirty dishes in the sink. > You smile and hand her the bag "I know its not much but..." > She looked in the bag and pulled the clothes out > her eyes gleamed with a childlike happiness >"Anon...t-thank you...I...I don't know what to say other than that.." > You put your hand on her head and ruffle her hair. "You don't need to say anything other than that. By the way thank you for the eggs." > You walk to the table and grab a fork > You take a bit of the eggs and *CRUNCH* > There were eggshells > You swallow it as best you could > She smiled and ran towards the bathroom > You take the plate and dump the food in the garbage > Lyra came out of the bathroom, wearing her new clothes >"Do they look fine...?" > You nod and smile "Yeah, I'm glad they fit, I had to guess." >"You guessed right. Hey Anon?" "Hmmm?" >"Would you mind...letting me...room in with you?" > You don't know whether you should or not > You just met her yesterday and don't know if you can trust her. > You look at her. > Puppyeyes.jpg engaged "All right. You can stay, only if you promise to help out around the place." > Lyra nodded and very nearly knocked you over with a hug. >"Thank you! I promise to help out anyway I can Anon. Thank you!" > You can't help but smile.  > The look on her face gave you a warm feeling in your stomach "You can have the living room as your place. I'll see if I can use a curtain to make a wall between your room and the rest of the place." > She nods and goes out >"I have to bring some of my stuff from the alley. Be back soon~" > With that she left > Guess she did have some belongings after all >"Yo Anon! Did you score with that green chick?" > You see Vinyl standing in the doorway, a smirk on her face "Oh no no no! She's j-just...rooming with me. She had nowhere to go so..." > Vinyl laughs softly and gives you a small tap on the arm >"I'm pulling your chain bro. Hey you wanna come inside, I've been working on some new beats and I wanna show someone!" "Beats?" >"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. I write music and preform as the DJ for the schools parties. So you wanna come listen?" > Listening to music with a cute girl? Sounds great but you were thinking of going back to the shops and taking that offer from AJ and Dash. > You think about it for a good bit "Give me a sec Vy" > You walk to the counter and wrote a note for Lyra, explaining where you are went > You take out your phone and type in Dash's number >*Ring, ring, ring* *click* >"Hello?" "Hey Dash, Its Anon, you still at the food area? " >"Oh no Anon, me and the girls left and are at AJ's place, sorry." "Nah, its fine Dash, next time though, right?" >"Yeah, totally! See ya" "Bye." >*click* > You head back to Vinyl "All right, I'm ready to hear some eargasmic music." > Smooth Anon >"All right! Come on then!" > She opens her door and you close yours. > You follow her inside. > Well she wasn't kidding about being a DJ. > Inside her apt. were huge speakers and a state of the art mix table > Records were strewn about on the floor and the lights were all various colors. > She sat on her couch, as did you > She brought out her laptop, a good ol' apples. > She fidgeted with the mouse and keyboard before turning the sound all the way >She pressed play and the music began > A nice steady bass line started it off. > Some snares joined the fray as did kick-drums > She looks at you for approval > You look back and give two thumbs up > Her smile said it all > Soon enough the track ended > You clapped softly"Just wow" > She laughed timidly and scratched her head>"Really?" > You nod "It was really good! I can see why they chose you as the DJ. I'm guessing you take inspiration from techno and nightcore?" > She nods >"Yeah, and EDM as well. I just like the energy they give off. Its like it revives the crowd and just makes them come alive, y'know?" > You nod > She really has a passion for this, and she's really good. > You wouldn't be surprised if she becomes famous one day > You and Vinyl talk for hours >"I think I kept you enough, besides, I gotta get ready for tomorrow" "What's tomorrow? " > "Oh, I get to play at this small club, its no big deal." "Hey, you'll do great! You have this in the bag girl!" > Her blush was noticeable against her white cheeks >"Jeeze Anon!" > She gave you a playful punch on your arm before you left  > You went back into your apt. And saw Lyra asleep on the couch. > You cover her with a blanket > You head back to your room, and shut the door. > You feel a bit tired but you also feel lonely.  > To sleep or to fap, that is the question. > you can save fapping for another time > Maybe when Lyra isn't in the same vicinity. > You go and lay in your bed > Tomorrows a new day > After a bit you fall asleep. > The sunlight comes in through the window, a beam hitting your eyes "Yeah yeah yeah...I'm up I'm up..." > You sit up and stretch, a yawn escaping your lips > You stand and walk out the room, Lyra is still asleep. > You don't wanna wake her up, but you don't wanna stay inside the apt. > You go into your room once more and change into another set of clothes > You write another note for Lyra and head out> Please don't blow up the house > You look around the street, its filled with kids from the school > No one you know though>"Give me your money girly"  > You turn to see that kid Chase stealing money from a pink haired girl >"Didn't you hear me girly? Give me your money!" > You feel the need to help this girl out, but you don't want to face Chase again. "That must be one tough little girl for such a big, strong man to be picking on her, for surely a man wouldn't harass someone smaller than them. That's the kind of thing bitches and limp dick little pussies would do."  >"What the fuck did you just say?" > You smirked and walked towards the two"You heard me, picking on a defenseless girl? C'mon man, don't you have another way of making money?" > Chase nodded >"Yeah, I do, give me your lunch money faggot." > You chuckle and look at him >"So sure huh? Well how about this?" > He pulls out a knife > This is not what you thought was going down. > Fight or Flight.webm engaged > Fightfortheright.mp3 > You look him dead in the eyes. > Pumping full of adrenaline you swing your hand at his, knocking the blade out of it> He looks at the blade and back at you >"I'll..." > Before he can say another word you give him an elbow to the face > Bah Gawd. He's going down! > You pick up the blade and stow it away. > It may save you later > You walk towards the pink haired girl "Are you okay? He didn't hurt you did he?" > She shook her head >"T-thank you..." > You wave your hand dismissively "Don't mention it, you should go where you were going in the first place" > She nods >"Uhm...My name is Fluttershy.." "Well nice to meet you Fluttershy, I'm Anon." >"I...I hope I get to talk again..." > She waved slightly and ran down the street > Heh, you did good Anon, you did good.>You decide to go get something to eat. > You walk down to the nearest hayburger. > You order a mint choco chip shake and a hayburger with cheese and fries. > You don't like that crap but its for Lyra after all. >"Anon!" > You turn and see Applejack  >"Well ain't this a coincidence?" > You nod and sip your shake >"Hey, ya wanna hang out? I mean, if ya don't have anything better tah do that is" > You really had nothing to do either, but Lyra is still home. > You look at the bag of food and then at AJ "Sure, I don't mind. I need to learn the layout of the place sooner or later. And you look like you can help me" >"All right, well how about we head to the arcade? It may be one of the most popular place in this square" "Sure, lead the way cowgirl." > She giggled softly and took your hand, leading you to the arcade> You look at the place > Jeeze, this looks fucking sweet > Arcade machines in every corner. > Smiling face everywhere, and a good vibe in general > This may be your new hangout from now on. "What are we waiting for? Lets go kick some ass!" > You run towards fighting arcade games > Barn Fighter 4 huh? > You put a bit in and saw that this was just their version of Street Fight. > You spent the rest of the morning playing in that arcade, defeating anyone who challenged you > Its good to be the king >"Wow Anon, 18 wins in a row?" "Yeah, today was an off day." > You chuckle as you throw your cup away > Applejack smiled and looked at the floor "Hey, this was fun. We should do it again someday." > She nodded "Yeah. Wait a minute." > She pulls out a pen from her pocket and writes down her number on the back of your hand >"Just call meh up if ya wanna hang out or somethin'" > You nod and say good bye before walking back home > You reach the door just as Vinyl did as well>"Yo Anon." "Oh hey, just coming back from the show?" > She nodded and held her stomach >"Im sure hungry though. You got any food?" > You do but its for Lyra, but she looks like she really needs it. > You hand her the bag >"Oh gods thank you!" > She gives you a hug and she takes the burger out, take a big bite out of it >"Mmmmm~" > You smile and turn around >"Hey, where you going?" "I gotta get another one, for my roomie." >"Oh, was this..." "Its fine. Besides you needed it." >"I'll keep ya company then" > She follows behind you as she finishes the burger >*Burp* >"That was good!" "Glad you like it. How was the show?" > Her smiled widened as she recalled her event >"You should have been there man! It was full of people raving, dancing, and just having a good time in the foam. Best part is that they want me to play again!" "See, what'd I tell you? You did great!" > You make it to the Hayburger and order one hayburger. > After paying and grabbing the bag, you and Vy leave >"Hey, Anon?" > You turn your head to face her"What's up Vy?" >"You think you could make it to my next show? Its gonna be in front of a lot of people and I just need a familiar face there to calm my nerves." > You nod and smile "Sure, I'll be there Vinyl, I got your back, just like you had mine on the bus." > She hugs you tightly >"Thank you!" > You reach your apt.  >"Anon, you..." "Huh? What is it?" > She shakes her head >"Nevermind, the shows on Wednesday. You'll be there, right?: > You nod "I wouldn't miss it for anything" > "Heh, all right. Night Anon." "Night Vy" > She went inside her own apt. and you went in yours.  > Lyra was at the dinner table, eating her own food. "Hey Lyra, I brought you something" >"Oh hey Anon, I already made my own. But thanks." >You leave the bag on the table and head to your room > You feel as though you're forgetting something but you can't remember.  > Whatever, it probably wasn't important. > You're not tired and don't wanna sleep > Maybe you should go to the bathroom and rub one out, or just wait for slumber to come take you > Maybe you should report the attempted mugging >You look over at your clock > 11:47 > Its too late so fuck it. > You fall asleep, waiting to see what's in store tomorrow >*BEEP BEEP BEEP* > Just ten more minutes.... > You press the snooze button and curl up in your blanket >"Anon! Its time for school!" > Damn it Lyra. > You get up and get dressed >You yawn silently and walk out your room > Lyra was already out the door and you followed behind > As you close the door you bump into Vinyl > Your face is right near hers > You blush slightly and pull back >"Oh Anon, don't you get fresh~" > She giggles > You try to regain your composure "Sorry about that..." >"Its fine, we should head to the bus stop, unless you wanna walk to school...: > You and her, alone walking to school. But you also had the other girls to talk to as well. > You look at Vinyl, a small smile on your face "Sure, lets walk" > She smiles and nods as you both walk down > You and her head to the bus stop, saying hello to the others before leaving them and walking > You look at the ground, not knowing what to say. >"So, um....How are you liking the area?" "Oh, its fine. I like it. Its peace, relaxing." >"Yeah, but I don't like that." "I've noticed, you are just a party girl aren't you?" > She laughed softly and smiled, looking towards the ground "Your boyfriend must be a lucky guy" >Boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend Anon. I'm single as a wub on a classical song." > You're heart skips a beat. "I just assumed..." >"Oh? Why's that?" > You take a deep breath > Should you just confess here or just try to play it off?
