The Story So Far: http://pastebin.com/u/Kiyo3
Yesterday with posts: http://archive.heinessen.com/mlp/thread/14061578
 
>You wake up to the sound of crumpling paper.
>It's not your love note attempts this time either.
>You roll over, keeping your eyes slightly open.
>Applejack tosses the envelope into her wastebin and climbs back into bed.
>You feel her arms move around you.
>It feels nice, but there's an underlying emotion with it...
>Applejack... feels sad...
>It's hard to explain.
>You can just tell.
>You know her body that well.
>No implications there.
 
A. "Wake" and ask
B. "Sleep" and wait
 
>You fake a yawn and roll over.
>Good morning, beautiful.
"Heya, Anon. Sleep well?"
>You sure did.
>But did Applejack?
>She has dark circles under her eyes.
>Come to think of it, they've been there for a few days now.
>Is she okay?
"Ah... 'Course Ah am..."
>This isn't about the farm?
"A little bit..."
>She sits down on the edge of the bed.
>Wasn't she already in it?
Lol, spatial continuity
"Ah just don't want'a leave CU, Anon. All mah friends are here... Yer here..."
>You don't want her to go either.
>But, what can be done?
"Ah ain't got a clue..."
>You look over at her desk.
>The letter from yesterday is out of its envelope.
>What's it say?
"Ah... It's a letter, from the farm, from Granny Smith..."
>Applejack's last name is Smith?
"Naw. That's her name, Anon."
>Right...
>What did Granny Smith say?
"She asked me 'n Big Mac ta come back 'n help with the crops..."
>Doesn't the family have workers?
"We can't afford ta pay 'em anymore..."
>Oh...
>Applejack looks at the letter and back at you.
>She looks almost hopefully.
>Like you can do anything for her.
>But the sadness in her eyes holds the reality.
>The reality that you can't.
 
A. Press her
B. Comfort her
C. Leave with her
 
>But you can try.
>When does she have to go?
"Granny said as soon as possible, but Ah guess after school tomorr'a.."
>Maybe... you can go with her?
>Applejack looks at you with a new look.
>Hope? Expectation? Surprise?
>Probably all of the above.
"Anon, yer not messin' with me, are ya?"
>Of course not.
>This is something that can seriously change Applejack's life.
>It's only right that you're there to help her through whatever happens.
"Ah... Ah..."
>She hugs you.
>Lips on yours.
>Fully body contact.
>And it ain't even 9:30.
"How'd did Ah ever git someone as amazin' as you?"
>Through hardwork, drills piercing the heavens, etc.
>But that's enough AJ time.
>You've had that almost every night.
>Time to go.
>You leave Applejack to her things as you head out.
"Hey Anon! Wait up!"
>Blonde hair, weird eyes...
>Hey Derpy. What's good?
"I was at the mail room. This came for you."
>She hands you a box.
>WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
"I-I don't know, Anon."
>You sigh at her lack of knowledge on great movies.
>Women these days...
"Sure, Detective Mills..."
>Nevemind then.
 
>You take a quick shower and grab your shit.
>Because, let's face it, only monkeys do that.
Omg so funny
>Spike is back, sleeping nonetheless.
>What's up with that dude?
>You'll ask him about his disappearances later.
>Right now, you need to live.
 
A. Class
B. Lounge
C. Food
 
>You drop the box on your bed and head out.
>Class is calling your name.
>Once you get inside, you notice the crowd of Asians surrounding Twilight.
>The Nerd Queen has arisen.
"Trixie demands you move, Anonymous!"
>Dammit Trixie.
>She didn't have to stand behind you.
"Trixie enjoys your rear view..."
>What?
"I'm joking... now move!"
>Fine.
>You take a seat between Twilight and Trixie.
>Or between Trixie and Hong Park or Song Lee or someone.
>Is that crowd... growing?
>Professor Neigh comes in a few minutes later, demanding everyone go back to their seats.
>The Asians disperse.
>Weird.
 
A. Trixie
B. Twilight
C. Notes
 
>What was all the hullabaloo?
"Sorry about that, Anon. They wanted to see this new science announcement."
>Was it interesting?
"It just linked to a video of a purple ninja..."
>Oh, really?
>Master troll right there.
"I know, right? I was really disappointed too..."
>Hey, it's okay Twilight.
>It's only science.
>She gives you a look that could melt steel, but goes back to her books.
"I guess you're right. It was supposed to be something really amazing though..."
>There'll be more discoveries in due time.
>Heck, maybe Twilight will make that discovery.
"You think so?"
>She has the smarts for it.
>You turn back to your notes.
>Twilight's ego has inflated enough for the day.
 
>Finally.
>Particles and your brain don't mix.
>Ironic, since it's made out of them.
"I'm going back to the dorms. What are you doing now, Anon?"
 
A. Dorm
B. Girls Hall
C. Food
 
>Following Twilight.
"W-What?"
>... To the girls hall.
>You need someone to get you inside.
>Other than Lyra.
>She's probably in class anyway.
"Well, okay. These breaks are always so..."
>Boring?
>Tell that to your MWF schedule.
>Twilight lets you inside.
>Let's you come inside, that is.
>Cum inside?
>Maybe later.
"Anon..."
>Right, right.
>Fluttershy isn't home.
>Those happy barks from inside can tell you that much.
>Twilight goes into her room.
>As far as you can tell, Rarity's not there.
 
A. Applejack
B. Rainbow
C. Twilight
D. Derpy
 
>You knock on Twilight's door.
"Anon? I thought you left."
>Can you come in?
"Uh, sure. Come right in."
>You pop a squat on her bed.
>It's so soft.
>It'd be great for fucking.
>Maybe in some alternate universe or something...
"What are you doing?"
>Just thinking about sex.
"W-why?"
>No reason.
>You wink at her for good measure.
>Twilight blushes and goes back to her books.
>This could be interesting...
>You never really had time alone with Twilight before.
>You should make this productive.
 
A. Study
B. Talk
C. Bizness
 
>Twilight looks sort of cute on the bed.
>Like, a naughty librarian.
>Minus the glasses.
>And the tits.
>Still bigger than Rainbro...
"A-Anon, stop... I have to study."
>Does she really?
>She could always take a load.
>*Off.
>Take a load off.
>Twilight blushes.
>Totally incandescent.
>That must burn.
>You look over at her computer.
>The screensaver is a pic of Shining Armor.
>That's... odd.
>They didn't even go out...
>What happened with that anyway?
>Twilight looks away from the book and at the screensaver.
"I... I don't really feel like talking about it. It's... a lot..."
 
A. Press her
B. Leave her be
C. Leave
 
>Twilight...
>You bring her in close.
>Within hug range.
>She's ok, right?
"Yeah... It just hurts a lot..."
>What happened exactly?
"I... I don't know..."
>She can trust you.
>It's not like Shining Armor is your bro or anything.
"Ok, Anon..."
>She closes her book and takes a breath.
"Where should I start?"
>At the beginning.
>Like a good stories do.
"Well, after Flash and I... stopped talking... I started focusing on my books."
>As if she ever really stopped.
"So, I was walking to class, and my books fell out of my bag."
>Can you say 'Freshman Backpack'?
>That was bound to happen.
"Anyway, I started to get the books, and all of a sudden, he was there, helping me."
>Real romance movie shit right here.
"And from there, I started talking to him. He's so amazing and athletic and..."
>A bro?
"Uh, not exactly. But he is wonderful, right?"
>Especially in the shower.
>Twilight gives you a weird look.
>You mean, he's helped you out in the shower.
>With your problems.
"Oh, right."
>Pretty soon, Twilight's gonna start thinking your gay or something.
>So, what happened the other day.
"I... asked if he wanted to go out..."
>Go out or hang out?
"There's a difference?"
>Yes.
>Obviously she doesn't get out much.
"He said no..."
>That doesn't sound like a total rejec-
"Then I asked if he liked me..."
>Wait, pause.
>She's kidding right?
"No..."
>Why would she do that?!
"I-I was nervous... I don't know much about this stuff."
>Clearly.
>What did he say?
"He said I was more like a sister to him."
>Oh.
>The Siblingzone.
>The worst subdivision of the Friendzone.
"And... he said he was already dating someone..."
>Oh, really?
>He never told you that.
>Weird...
>Strange things are afoot.
>Twilight's tearing up again.
>Tissue?
"T-Thanks..."
>You wrap her in your arms again.
>It's not so bad, Twilight.
>She can definitely find someone else.
>Even if he's not buff, handsome, or Shining.
>Like Armor.
"Y-You really think so?"
>Heck yeah.
>As long as she's not the clingy type of girl.
>Which, she definitely doesn't seem like.
>Twilight smiles.
>The incandescent beauty...
"You're right, Anon. I'm sure that I can find someone else..."
>Right on, girlfriend.
"And who says that I can stop liking Shiny."
>Wait, she's veering-
"Maybe someday, he'll finally be with me."
>She's swerving out of control.
"Maybe he'll leave her..."
>And she's gone.
>But hey, you never know.
"Thanks Anon. That's... That was sweet."
>Sweet as apple pie.
>Twilight looks at the clock.
"We have class in 5 minutes! We have to go!"
>She rushes you out of her room and sprints off to class.
>What a worrywart.
 
>Twilight's panting as you finally get inside the class.
>She didn't need to rush like that.
"But... I was... almost... late..."
>That's... so... terrible...
>Trixie and Luna come into the class carrying supplies.
>Lab, right.
 
A. Lab
B. Twilight
C. Trixie
D. Luna
 
>Luna passes out the lab sheets.
"Alright everyone. Let's get this started."
>She leaves for parts unknown.
>You look at the lab instructions.
>It seems like a basic density thing.
>Or mass.
>You really should start paying attention in class.
>You grab an electronic scale and a graduated cylinder.
>Because... density, right?
>You can do it by yourself, right?
>Sure you can.
 
>A few minutes later, dozens of soaked paper towels, and one put out blaze later, you call it quits.
>Twilight glances over at your work.
"Anon, do you need some help?"
>You hand her the lab paper without another word.
>Unfortunately, the Luna calls the lab end a little early today.
>You can handle a 0 on your grades, right?
"Ready to go, Anon?"
>Yep.
 
A. Class
B. Dorm
C. Girls hall
 
>Time for class with he only teacher you actually like.
"What about Professor Neigh?"
>You give Twilight a look.
>She knows.
>You grab your stuff and head over to Psych.
>Finally you can have some f-
>Did you just trip?
>Over a...
>Beanbag chair?
>Is CU a progressive school now?
"Oh, hello Anon. Nice change, right?"
>Discord.
>What's his game?
"Nothing at all. I thought today we'd take a break from class."
>Really?
>Thanks.
"Except for you, of course. You have to work."
>Oh, what?
>C'mon...
"I thought you needed the money?"
>He's right. Unfortunately.
>The rest of the class joins their friends as Discord brings you over to his desk.
"I need these papers graded."
>Paperwork.
>God damn it.
>You thought real work started AFTER college.
"It's easy. You'll get used to it."
>He puts the stack of papers on his desk.
"But first, I need you to deliver something."
>He pulls out a birdcage from under the desk.
>How'd you not notice that?
>A very pretty red bird is lazing around inside.
>Is she... sick?
"No, of course not."
>Discord takes another look.
"Definitely not."
>He hands you the cage.
"No matter, I need you to deliver her to Celestia. She asked for it back."
>That's her pet or something?
"Yes. She asked me to care for it while she and her sister went on a research trip."
>Oh, okay.
>You take the cage and head off.
>Let's do this thing.
 
A. Straight there
B. Goof off
C. Quit the job
 
>Celestia works at the chem lab, right?
>This should be a nice walk.
>You go outside.
>Shortcuts, right?
>Because science classes are in another building or something.
>It's really nice outside, and the sun is shining down.
>Apparently the bird likes it a lot.
>She gets up and starts singing a little.
>Nice.
"Hi Anon."
>Fluttershy?
>She's behind you.
>Jesus Christ, why is she behind you?
"I was just taking a break, when I heard some beautiful singing. Was that you?"
>Do you look like a soprano?
>Although, you [are Italian].
>She's ha-
"What's that?!"
>Fluttershy gets on her knees and looks into the cage.
"She's so beautiful! Where'd you get her?"
>It's Celestia's pet bird.
>You're just the messenger.
>You look down into the cage.
>She's backed herself away from Fluttershy.
>Weird.
"Can I hold her? Please?"
 
A. Let her hold her
B. Continue your quest
C. Give her the job
 
>You look at the science building.
>It's so far away.
>You really have to get back to work...
"Aww..."
>Fluttershy understands, right?
"I-I do. I'll see you later, Anon."
>She looks like she might cry.
>That look on her face.
>You get the hell out of there.
>Your feels couldn't handle it.
>So, where's the chem lab again?
>201... 202... 203...
>There it is.
>You walk inside.
>Celestia's in the back moving some boxes.
>What's with this place and boxes?
>Celestia?
>She turns around.
>You thought she'd be scared or something.
>Disappointment...
"Hello Anon. How are things?"
>They're goodie, brah.
>You've got a delivery for her.
"Oh really? What's the package?"
>She winks at you as she says package.
>Boner in 3 seconds flat.
>Celestia laughs and beckons you closer.
"Oh, you have Philomena with you?"
>The bird, right?
"Yep. Thanks for bringing her back to me."
>She takes the birdcage from you and puts it on the counter.
"What are you doing with her, anyway? I thought Discord..."
>He delegated the job to you.
>You're working for him now.
>Celestia raises an eyebrow.
"Are you really? You sure that's a good decision?"
>Why...?
>Something wrong with Discord?
>Celestia just laughs and keeps moving boxes.
"No... not at all..."
 
A. Business
B. Leave
C. Bizness (trips)
 
>Does she need any help?
"I... think I can manage."
>Is she sure?
>It must be hard carrying a box full of 10 gram weights.
>Because the box's dimensions are... and math says... and then you find the...
>It would be pretty heavy.
"Are you sure you don't mind?"
>Not at all.
>Celestia passes you the box and picks up a book off the floor.
>If only the box wasn't blocking the view...
"Can you take this too? Just inside the closet over there."
>No *Oof* problem.
>You make it a quick trip.
>And make a few more.
>Apparently science equipment comes in bulk.
"Thanks Anon. I didn't think I'd be able to finish it all today."
>No problem.
"Twilight was right about you. You are a good guy."
>Twilight's talked about you?
"A few times. She really thinks of you pretty highly, Anon."
>She sighs and looks through some vials.
"Shame you never got with her..."
>Wait, what?
"I'm kidding. You're with... Applejack, right?"
>Yeah.
"How's that going?"
>Being with Applejack...
>It's great, really.
>She's an amazing girl who always helps you out.
>She's [insert the usual compliments].
>Celestia nods.
"She sounds really amazing."
>She is.
>Too bad she might have to leave.
"Come again?"
>It's... nothing.
>No reason spreading AJ's business.
>Celestia gets a little closer to you.
"Anon, do you love her? Like, honestly?"
>You...
>Do you?
>...
>You've been leaning toward it.
>Applejack...
"No need to get serious, Anon. I was curious."
>Oh, nevermind then.
>It's not like that will come back up eventually...
>Celestia takes the birdcage and starts walking to the door.
"I have to get Philomena back home before she gets really homesick. You can only spend so much time with Discord..."
>So true.
"Oh, and I almost forgot."
>She goes over to the vial cabinet and takes one.
"Almost forgot this..."
>What is it?
"It's something for... fun..."
>She holds it close to your face.
>Aphro...disiac?
"Yep."
>What does she need that for?
"Reasons..."
>Celestia winks at you and leaves the room.
>They need an A.C. in here or something...
 
"It's about time you got back here, Anon. These papers need grading."
>Sorry Discord.
>Celestia kept you occupied.
"In a good way?"
>You have a girlfriend.
"Of course, of course."
>You take the papers and start going through them.
"Just give them any grade. I didn't really care about the assignment anyway."
>Great teacher right here.
 
>23 F's, 54 D's and 2 A's later, you're outta there.
>Actually, before you go...
>Could you have your paycheck a little earlier this week?
>Discord smiles smugly and hands you an envelope.
"Just be sure to ask me everytime. Otherwise I won't pay you."
>Oh, sure then.
>You grab your stuff and leave the room.
>It's a bit late, but time for some time off.
 
A. Dorm
B. Girls hall
C. Food
 
>You head on over to the girls hall.
>On the way, you check your envelope.
>Inside there are untold riches, and gems beyond compare.
>Rarity would have a heart attack.
>And while you daydream about that, you take out the lone dollar.
>A.
>Single.
>Dollar.
>Discord, why?
>Inside, there is a note.
Anon,
Welcome to the real world.
~Discord
>He's... serious... isn't he?
>You pocket the dollar and the note.
>Lyra? Wherefore art thou Lyra?
"Sorry Anon. Class let out late today."
>Hey, question.
"Shoot."
>She lives in the B building, right?
"Oh, yeah. I love it there."
>Then why is she always hanging out over here?
>She pinks a bit and keys you in.
"N-No reason, Anon. God, stop asking so many questions."
>Her hands push you inside.
>Ok, ok.
 
A. Twilight
B. Applejack
C. Rainbow
D. Derpy
 
>What's Derpy up to?
>You knock on the door.
"One minute."
>That's not Derpy's voice.
>Must be her roommate.
>The door opens.
>It's another blonde girl, chewing bubble gum.
*pop*
"Oh, Hi there. What's up?"
>Uh, is Derpy there?
"Is that Anon?"
>Derpy appears behind the girl.
"Let him in, Cloudy. He's cool."
>"Cloudy" shrugs and goes back inside.
>Derpy takes her place and hugs you.
"Hiya Anon! What brings you around?"
>You were in the neighborhood.
>That's her roommate, right?
"Yep. That's Cloud Kicker. She's cool."
>She seems like it.
>Nothing's cooler than leaning against a wall and chewing gum.
>Lessons from Joe Cool.
>Derpy let's you in and sits you down on the bed next to her.
>Cloud Chaser goes through her closet.
>She's seems... nice.
"She better than my last roommate."
>Right.
>The last one flat out left Derpy.
"Yeah... But that was the old me. Now I'm totally positive."
>There was a twinge in her voice.
>It sounded fake.
>But you ignore.
 
A. Business
B. Leave
C. Cloud Kicker
D. Bizness
 
>The two of you talk for a while, with you making occasional glances at Cloud Kicker.
>She keeps chewing that gum, making glances at you too.
>Sizing you up?
>Maybe
>She reminds you of the sister from Ferris Bueller.
>She bites some of the gum and pulls it with her finger.
>Maybe you should get going.
"Oh, are you sure, Anon? It's like you just got here though..."
>You'll see her later.
>You hug Derpy and wave to Cloud Kicker.
>She just stares and chews her gum.
>You close the door behind you.
"Isn't he the greatest?"
>Derpy and her ceaseless compliments.
>You pass by Applejack's door.
"Git in there, consarnit!"
>She okay?
"Oh, howdy Anon. Ah'm just tryin' to get this stuff in this here suitcase."
>You help her with it.
>The room is covered in clothes and and bags.
>The same bags Applejack took her first day here.
"Ah know it's a lot. Ah didn't realize how much stuff Ah'd taken with me..."
>She looks around the room and sits down on the bed.
"Ah'm really gonna miss this place..."
>That's right.
>This might be her last night at CU.
>And tomorrow, her last day...
>You hug her.
>You've got to make her last night here count.
"What do ya want ta do, Anon?"
>Take her out.
"You have money? Ah'm sorta broke..."
>Ah, poor people.
>You got paid today, so you can take her.
"Really? Let's git on, then."
>As you leave, Applejack turns to you.
"So, how much did Discord actually give ya."
>You take out the dollar.
>This should be an interesting night.
