>Rocky is clearly confused
>Diane is absolutely flipping, hands to mouth, like she just saw a decapitation
>You're shocked, to say the least
>"What is that?! What is that!!!"
>It's a grey pegasus pony with blonde hair, and blonde eyes
>That are crossed
>Absolutely identical to Diane
>"What the fuck! Oh man!"
>Rocky finally speaks up and asks what the big deal is
>"What? God, it's just a weird background character. You'd be shocked by how popular she is."
>He obviously isn't aware of what hides beneath loose shades
"You don't get it?"
>"What?"
>Diane gets low to eye level with the sitting Rocky and pulls down her shades
>"Check this out."
>
>"Oh my god."
>The look on this kid's face
>priceless
>They both start geeking the fuck out over the show and how she's such a fan now and how we're gonna call her Derpy now
 
>You must admit you're sold on the show now too
>It's actually pretty entertaining
>The one you watched primarily starred the "country" one and the dykey "Rainbow" one
>Honestly, you like the rainbow one best; though the Pink one intrigues you
<You wanna fuck the rainbow one
>Not now, logic
>Join Rocky and Derpy in their merrymaking
>They've both calmed down a bit, but you're both still stunned
>Rocky: "That is fucking crazy!"
>Derpy: "She's just like me!"
"That is pretty fucking cool."

3 HOURS OF NON-STOP FRIENDSHIP PASS
* * *
 
>Alright, you're all done with ponies for the night
>You watched a good portion of Season 1 with Rocky and Derpy
>You're sold; Rainbow is your favorite
>She's a dyke but a cool dyke
>Derpy still can't shut up about her new name, and Rocky is still pretty amazed by it
>She keeps saying, "I've gotta write Hasbro or something! Man, I was wrong about this show!"
>It's 8: time for you and Derpy to go home
>Derpy's mom comes to pick her up first
>You and Rocky escort her to the door like real gentlemen
>Her mom is in the car; she doesn't come out to greet her little baby's new friends
>Good, you don't wanna talk to anyone's parents anyways
>"I guess I'll see you guys later," she says, slipping her sunglasses into her back pocket
>"Later, 'derpy'," says Rocky, being corny
"Yeah, bye."
<Say something
>You stop her before she gets through the door
"Hey!"
>"Yeah?"
"You... you know, you should, like... not wear those sunglasses anymore."
>There goes a look
>"Oh, well, I don't know. You guys are cool, but other kids, I don't know, like... I can't... change schools again..."
>You didn't mean to make her feel awkward
<Quick, think of something that sounds likt it would be said in a sitcom
"Well, just... you know... I mean, do what you think you should..."
>She get slightly more at ease
>"Thanks. Yeah, later."
>She leaves
>Rocky begins the title wave of how Deroy is the perfect girl for him and how he never pegged you as a brony
 
>Before you know it, mom comes to pick you up
>You leave Rocky with nary a friend
>Fond farewells
>Go home
>Jack off
>Sleep

THE NEXT SCHOOL MORNING
* * *
 
>It's another one of those mornings
>You get out of your mom's car with a light hug
>Shoot her a fake smile to show her you're not troubled
>Happy happy
>Social contract
>Bye
>Try to head into the school but are stopped by a random encounter with derpy again
>She's there, trying to get into school
>Late, just like you
>But she's just standing there in front of the doors
>She seems to be looking at herself in the glass mirror
>Activate creep mode
 
>Actually, you're just standing there lightly watching her
>Upon further inspection, she's not wearing her sunglasses
>They're hanging out of her back pocket
>A few moments pass like this
>You sorta hope she goes in soon so you can go in; you're late
>She ultimately puts the glasses back on and enters the school
>You're almost disappointed, but you'd have done the same thing
>You both go to class
>The last you see, she enters a different hallway
>You wonder if she watched the entire rest of the series over the weekend too
 
* * *
LUNCH
* * *
 
>You sit down
>You sorta figured Derpy would be there
<You had a whole fantasy of making out with her right now
>But she's nowhere to be found
>You're there all lunch and she's nowhere
>She's nowhere in the whole lunchroom
>Not in the library either

SCIENCE
* * *
 
>Rocky looks worried
"Hey, man, you seen Diane?"
>"She went home."
"Huh? What happened?"
>"She tried going to class without her glasses. I heard a few people saying that they asked her what was up with her eyes, then she threw up and let home."
>You have to audibly react
"Oh god."
>"Yeah, I know. It's pretty messed up."
"Yeah. That... is bad."
>"I hope she's okay. Well, now we know why she got bullied at her old school."
"Jesus... she's fucking ruined."
<It's not that bad.
>"What?"
"She's gonna get haunted by this one thing for the next four years. It's my fault."
>"Oh, come on, it's not that big a deal."
"Yeah it is! I'm the one who told her to not wear the glasses."
>"It was good advice! She looks better without them."
"I should have never said anything, though."
>"Quit being so brooding. Look, we'll see her tomorrow, I'm sure she's fine."
"I don't know."
>It's awkward now
>Rocky won't have it
>"Watch any more over the weekend?"
"Yeah, man. All of it."
>He gets a grin
>Thus begins the rest of the day's subject matter
