>Norman awoke the next day feeling great
>over his nervousness he concluded that his date with the one and only Aryan Beauty was a success
>taking an extra long time showering in order to soak in his satisfaction he was a little later than was normal in getting ready for school
>to compensate he hurried down the stairs to the living room and strode towards the kitchen
>a sharp ahem stopped him
>it was his father, sitting in his favorite chair reading the paper
>his ahem sounded more chipper than usual, so Norman was not concerned
"Yea dad?"
>"I was wondering how your date went."
"Oh, it went well."
>"well? Nothing else to report."
>the nosiness irritated Norman
"It was good."
>Norman's father smiled wryly, a bad sign
>"is this girl just a fling?"
"I hope not"
>"you hope?"
>now came the macho crap
"No, okay?"
>chuckling to himself his Dad replied, "don't be so ungrateful Norman. Your mom was much prettier than myself, and I still snagged her. I'm always here for advice. And while we're on the subject, I have seen this Rarity. You need all the help you can get. Girls like her can command whatever they wish."
>Norman was not sure how to take this, but he was still annoyed to be certain
"Alright, thank you. I will ask."
>as Norman walked out of the living room and into the kitchen his dad called, "remember, irrational self love always gets you further than rational self doubt."
>Absorbing this it occurred to Norman that such behavior is what one could describe as 'douchey'.
>Rarity didn't do for douches did she?
>what if she went out with me thinking I'm a douche?
>while racking his brain over how much of a douche Rarity was comfortable with, Norman's mother greeted him and asked what his father was saying to him while eating some cereal at the table
"Oh nothing," Norman replied, "just dating advice. Since he was able to snag you, and you were much more attractive than him or something."
>that was a mistake
>"I WAS more attractive?" His mother asked in shock
"Oh crap," Norman thought to himself while his mother stormed out of the kitchen and into the living room to inquire further
>Norman decided to take some plain toast and eat in the way to school
>plain toast was awful, but preferably to dealing with what was brewing.
 
>arriving at school he saw Aryan talking to Principal Celestia
>Venus incarnate looked as perfect as ever, not a hair out of place
>he thought at least, she was a bit far away
>Celestia looked good too, nice tits and a good ass
>Sadly, Aryan's ass was a bit hard to read with her skirt. >Fortunately a noticeable bump suggested it was up to snuff
>class was about ready to begin so chatting with Brad would have to wait
 
>Brad sat on a bench in the quad, leering at girls through sunglasses
"Look at these plain janes. No talent anywhere."
>well there was Rarity but Norman claimed her
>and something told him that she was too uptight anyway
>that new Twilight girl had a nice butt, however she was a bit loopy at times. And a knowitall at others
>Definitely not Brad's type
>but still, cute
>there was Mary, but she was Brad's dealer whenever he wanted weed. Best to not shit where he ate.
>Sophie? She had good boobs. But also uptight, like Rarity, and a knowitall like Twilight
>there had to be new girls to go after, he just needed to hunt better
>Brad saw Norman and waved, Norman returned the gesture but pointed at his wrist
>indicating that time was too short to chat
>"hello Brad." He heard from an unmistakable accent
>spinning around he saw Rarity, smiling in a pleasant manner
>a cordial smile, just for social niceties Brad assumed.
>Rarity probably did not approve of his dalliances with the girls of Canterlot High
>"Brad," her tone turned more towards concern, "I was hoping you could help me out with something."
>"Involving Norman?" Brad guessed
>"of course darling, anything you could tell me about him?"
>"Nothing really, he's fairly normal. He likes you a lot, but like I said he's normal."
>"oh thank you for that Brad. But what are his interests?"
>"Xbox. He's also designed clothing or something in his spare time. Beyond that... He likes sports okay I guess. Cars. Pretty girls. Guy stuff."
>Rarity seemed less moved by that last one
>oh crap, she thinks I am hitting on her
>"hmmmm well I take it be's a touch nut to crack then?"
>"what do you mean?"
>"oh, just that he may be very private?"
>"I know him as well as anybody. There are things he enjoys privately but I think they're what all guys enjoy privately."
>Brad couldn't tell if Rarity just stifled a smirk , grin, or scowl but she definitely suppressed something
>"Thank you Brad. Tell Norman I was thinking about him and that I had fun last night."
>damn Norman. When he gets lucky, he gets damn lucky
>"wait Rarity. Try asking Nolan about Norman. He may know."
>Rarity smiled and thanked Brad again
>the first period bell rang and it was time to head in, so Brad did. Slowly. He arrived in class just a minute after it was officially time to do so.
>But Mrs. Jubilee would not do anything
 
>walking around school was always weird for Rarity
>the bell for lunch had rang and she could feel so many eyes on her as she minced around the hallways
>the price of incredible beauty and style
>men wanted her, women wanted to be her
>oh it was just a crime to be so beautiful!
>she giggled to herself a little
>melodrama never hurt anybody
>she looked around for Nolan
>"Rahrity!"
>That must be Applejack
>it was
>"heya there, the gals and I were going to go off campus for lunch today. You comin'?"
>"Oh thank you Applejack but not today. I was hoping to chat with someone today."
>"this is about that new boytoy of yours huh?" AJ teased, softly elbowing Rarity
>"Applejack! He is not a boytoy!"
>"heheh, oh Rarity you know I am just teasin'! Besides, I always figured you would be the toy if ya follow me."
>That made Rarity blush and recoil a bit
>"you make it too easy Rare. Anyway, I wish you luck. We're just going to General Wong's and can bring you something before lunch is over," AJ offered
>"oh thank you Applejack, here," Rarity opened her purse and pulled out a little over ten dollars.
>"if it goes over that let me know, get me the ohhhhh."
>Rarity was not terribly familiar with the menu at General Wong's
>"Well Rarity the girls are waiting and we gotta hurry, do you mind if I pick for you?"
>"uh, sure."
>"you seem to order chicken a lot, but I remember that big burger you had once. You loved that."
>again, Rarity recoiled from the embarrassment
>Applejack grinned, "I will be bring you something to fatten those buns up for Norman."
>Rarity was surprised, and before going AJ gave her a small pinch on the posterior
>now Rarity was appalled and Applejack walked away chuckling
>"well I never! Such uncouth behavior is simply unbecoming of any polite company and a lady would never tolerate it in her presence!" Rarity affirmed before storming off
>Applejack meant well of course but that was too far
>but Applejack had never acted this way before. She had a few boyfriends as she should but she never did... Anything with them.
>The Applejack Rarity knew was much too respectable to be so indiscrete and forward
>and she knew about Norman? How? Twilight must have spilled it.
>truthfully though it was not much of a secret, and speaking of Norman...
>where was Nolan?
>She saw Norman looking at her from fairly close by, Nolan was with him
>AND NORMAN WAS SMILING
>but not just any smile, a wry and knowing smile
>he must have seen all that just happened
>oh she could just die!
