>The chicken crows.
>Or whatever it is they do.
>Whatever it is, you're up now.
>You don't want to leave the bed though.
>This country, homemade stuff is good.
>As you turn over, you hear a few voices coming from downstairs.
>One last talk before you get back to CU, apparently.
 
A. Downstairs
B. Sleep
C. Shower
 
>You roll over again and head downstairs.
>Shouldn't you have left already?
>Like, yesterday?
>Eh, you've had fun on the farm.
>Applejack's voice comes from downstairs.
>What's going on?
>Granny Smith spots you first.
"G'mornin', Anon. Sleep well?"
>Pretty well.
>You could get used to farm life.
>Aside from the lack of luxuries like mineral water and pizza.
>Because, hipsters.
"You hungry at all? Ah got sum food fer ya."
>Thanks Granny.
>You're starved.
>Applejack is sitting at the table with Big Mac.
>Applebloom not up yet?
"She ain't goin' ta school today..."
>Why not?
"'Cause-"
"'Cause nothin'! We gotta git these crops in!"
>Oh, what?
"Since we got less crops now, we gotta git more efficient 'round here."
>And that means...
"We're gonna hafta pull these two from college..."
>Still?!
>You thought that whole ordeal was over?!
"They got the rest of the quarter. After that, they gotta come back to work..."
>Applejack.
>She looks at you and gives you a hopeful smile.
"Maybe Ah'll be able ta come back later..."
>Hopefully...
 
>An hour later, you, Big Mac, and Applejack are standing by the bus stop with the other Apples.
"Applejack, ya got all yer schoolin' stuff?"
"Yes, Granny. Fer the hundreth time!"
"Just makin' sure."
>The bus rolls into the stop.
>Granny gives you a kiss and a slice of pie.
>Sweet.
>Later Applebloom.
"See ya later, Anon!"
>Kisses and hugs all around.
>As the bus pulls out, you look into the sky.
>Kinda gray...
>A low rumble echos...
>There's always hope.
>A light drizzle turns into heavy rain by the time you pull up at CU.
>The Apple farm should be fine now.
>Hurray for D.E.M. rains.
>Big Mac heads off towards class or something.
>Later man.
"Eeyup."
>Alright, let-
"And, Anon?"
>Big... Big Mac?
"Thanks."
>The big guy lumbers off somewhere.
>Good guy.
>You walk Applejack back to the dorms.
"Y'know, Big Mac is right, Anon. Ah can't thank ya enough fer what ya've done fer mah family. Ah owe ya so much..."
>No she doesn't.
>Applejack needed help, and you were in the right moment.
>Anything to keep those sleeze-balls out of the farm's business.
"Even if Ah did sell-"
>She should stop beating herself over that.
>It was a good call.
>Soon the farm will be in good shape again.
>And she'll come back to CU.
"Ah... Ah hope."
 
"Yo Anon! What happened to you?"
>Sorry Rainbow.
>Farm life called to you.

>Later Applejacks and cinnamon.
"Ah'll talk ta ya later, Anon."
>Great girl, that one.
>You book it to your dorm and get your english things.
>Oh, hey Spike.
"Anon, what happened to you? Applejack wasn't here, and neither were you..."
>You went to visit her folks.
"Things are getting serious then, eh?"
>He could say that.
"Anon, we gotta go!"
>Later Spike.
 
>English class.
>Motifs and Shakespeare and Lovecraftian nonsense.

>Where'd the straw come from?
"So how was the farm, really?"
>It was fun.
>Applejack's family is really sweet and so... tight.
"What?"
>You're talking about Applejack's sister.
>Younger sister.
"What?!"
>Jokes.
>Applebloom's nice though.
>Kinda annoying.
>Sorta like... er.... Scoots-a-lot?
"Scootaloo?"
>Right.
"Hey, Scootaloo is cool!"
>Sure, sure.
>More like a RD fangirl, but hey.
"You jealous you don't have a fan?"
>You're pretty popular on the internet...
>That's what you've heard, at least.
"Sure you are, dude."
>Whatever.
>So what's new with Rainbow?
"A lot. The team is practicing for a game on Friday."
>Is it gonna be big?

>Oh, seriously?
>UCLA...
>Isn't that where Femmy goes...?
 
"Class, make sure your assignment is completed by tomorrow."

>Hopefully she's okay...
>You walk up into class like, What up?
>Only Spike greets you though.
>No Rarity today?
>Odd...

A. Spike
B. Notes
C. Goof off
 
>What did Spike do over the weekend?
"I played League a little. Did a few assignments."

"I wish you had told me you were leaving though. I would've made plans."
>You're a spontaneous kind of guy.
>That's what the ladies want.
>Has he... seen Rarity lately?
"Rarity? No, not really..."
>Spike turns back to his notes and starts writing.
"Why?"
>No reason.
>Just... worried.
"Er... why?"
>She's not in Art History.
>She lives for this class.
>Something must be wrong.
>Must be because of what you did to her.
>Or what you didn't do...
>Fucking Cadance, that hero of a girl.

>You go back to the dorm with him and drop your stuff.
>Wait, wallet.
>Might need that.
>The food hall is filled with the usual faceless crowd.
>So... anonymous, right?
>You get on line and pick out some bananas and...
>They have apple pie?!
>It's probably not as good as Applejac-
>No, probably not as good as Granny Smith's.
>Now there's some good eating.
>You leave the line and look around...

B. Lyra and Octavia
C. Eat alone
D. Leave
 
>Those two have it hard, doing the whole medical thing.

>But you have bigger fish to fry.
>And bananas to eat.
>You pull up a chair next to Octavia.
>'Sup, bitches?
"Hello, Anon."
"Hey, Anon! I missed you the last few days."
>You were out of CU for a bit.
>Nothing to serious.
>Just farm stuff.
>Lyra takes a bite of her pizza.
"Really? There's a farm near here?"
>More like an apple orchard.
>It was nice.
"I'm sure."
>So, these two are friends?
"Octavia here invited me to play with her quartet. Quintet now, I guess."
>Lyra plays...?

"True, true."
 
A. Octavia
B. Lyra
C. Leave

"Other than bringing Lyra into the Orchestra..."

>Top lel.
"... I've been practicing for a show later this week."
>She has a show, really?
>That's awesome!
"It's a talent show of sorts. The Fine Arts department is funding it."
>That sounds pretty cool.
>Octavia will be headlining, of course...
"I hope so. There's just a lot of work to get done before the show."
>When is it?
"Thursday."
>Well, she better get to work.
>Lyra takes another bite of pizza.
"Don't worry, Anon. We'll totally get it done!"
>With enthusiasm like that, anything's possible.

>Freaking Lyra...
>They take you over to the B building and let you in.
>B building... right...
>Because, continuity and stuff.
This thread is problematic
>You reach Octavia's room.
>Dubstep beats are coming from inside.
>Vinyl's he-
"Vinyl, It's me. Open the door."
>Silence.
>At least, vocally.
"Vinyl!"
>Octavia knocks on the door.
>Vinyl's blue hair pops in the door frame.
"Sorry, Octi. Can't let you in. Working on something amazing. Later!"
>The door closes as quickly as it was opened.
>The minds of a genius musician.
>Or something.
"We could always go to my room."
>Lyra thinking right there.
>A few minutes later, Lyra opens the door to her room.
>It's a little... tan.
"It's my roommate. Bon-Bon likes those colors..."
>Darn shame.
>Lyra passes Octavia a cello.
>Spare, apparently.
>And a harp in the corner is ready to go.
>Let's hear some music!
 
>Wow.
>Simply...
>Wow.
>That was amazing.
"You really think so?"
>Yeah.
>These girls are great together.
"Thank you, Anonymous."
>A little more smile.
>You're breaking her.
"It's always good to have someone who really appreciates the classical sounds listen..."
"Totally!"
>You chuckle at the opposite personalities.
>It's an odd mixture, but it works.
>You can hear it in the music.
>As you talk to the girls, you start to notice a faint...
>Moaning?
>What's going on?
"That's been happening a lot."
"It's probably the pipes..."
>Sure...
>You press your ear to the wall.
>It's coming from another room, definitely.
>This school needs to really soundproof their walls.
"It's probably nothing. Would you like to hear more?"
"Yeah, wouldja?"
 
A. Listen to more
B. Investigate
C. Dorm
 
>Sure.
>You could always go for another exciting round of classical music.
"Since Anonymous appreciates it so much, how about something from..."
"Zelda?"
>Lyra likes Zelda?
"No, Octavia told me about it."
>Oh.
>Carry on then.
 
>A 30 minute set of Legend of Zelda songs.
>Wow.
>The tears in your eyes can't fully understand...
>It's amazing...
"Anon, would you like a tissue?"
>No, you'll... you'll be fine.
>You just need a moment.
>Lyra sits down on the bed and falls over.
"Man, that is tiring. I don't know how people do that all day."
"If you love it, it isn't work."
>Well said, Octavia.
>You put your ear up to the wall again.
>Just to be sure.
>The moans are back.
>But at a different... key?
>A different voice, maybe.
>Weird...
>The dark-haired girl packs up the instrument and puts it under Lyra's bed.
"Thank you, Lyra. I should see if my room is open now..."
 
A. Lyra
B. Octavia
C. Investigate
 
>Later Octavia.
"Later Octi."
>A few minutes pass.
>Lyra suddenly gets up and looks at you.
"Omigosh, Anon, you're still here?"
>Uh, yeah...
>She laughs and starts looking through some of her books.
"Sorry. I sorta zoned out."
>No problem.
>Happens to the best of us.
>So, harp, huh?
"Yeah! My mom made me take it up back in elementary school. I guess I'm good at it now."
>She is really good.
>Like, Octavia level good.
>She should play more often.
"I wish. But it's so much work. If only it could be fun, without doing so much, y'know?"
>Meh.
>You don't do much anyway.
>'cept bang your girlfriend whenever possible.
>And occasionally go get some gains.
"Ew. Anon. Shut up."
>You dodge the pillow she throws at you.
>Agility +10
>Lyra goes back down on the bed.
'"I just wish there was some, like, relief for all this, you know?"
>Yeah, you feel her, G.
 
A. Business
B. Bizness
C. Leave
 
>Maybe you could help with that...
"Er... what?"
>Nothing, nothing.
>She should try working out.
>Or just, like, eating?
"Why, you like big girls, Anon?"
>Er... what?
"Just kidding."
>She kicks her feet up in the air.
"I'll find something to do. In the meantime, I always have my harp."
>True.
>The recorder...
>You coulda been a real star.
"Doubt it."
>Thanks Lyra.
>The vote of confidence really helps your dreams.
 
>You chat with her for little bit more.
>The moaning doesn't help you focus on the conversation though.
>They ought to get the walls checked out...
>You grab your stuff and bid Lyra farewell.
>As you walk down the hall, Colgate comes out of a room.
>Hey Colga-
"Hi Anon, what's up?!"
>Uh, hi...?
>She looks kind of sweaty, and her face is red from blushing too hard or something.
>Weird.
>She should have Redheart check that out.
>Colgate gets even redder and looks down.
"I'll... uh... keep that in mind. Later!"

>Your assignments... do you even do them?
>No, but the profs never ask.
"I know, right?"
>How about the game on Friday?
>Derpy exchanges the weight for a heavier one.
"I... I'm a little nervous honestly."
>Old Derpy...
"S-Shut up."
>But, really, why is she so nervous?
"It's... It's gonna be a really important game, Anon. Scouts, both schools will be there... It's gonna be a lot to deal with."
>You could imagine that.
>That's why you never join clubs or sports.
>Other than, of course, being too cool for school.
"Yeah, yeah. Sure you are."
 
"One more, Anon! C'mon!"
>Fuck!
>You bring the press back to rest.
"Nice job, Anon. That's way more than last time."

"Anon, you want in?"
>Sure.
"They still didn't fix the A.C.?"
>Uh... no.
>No they did not.
>Derpy opens the door, keeping her eyes shut.
>As if she disn't want this package anyway...
>Rainbow turns to you as she washes her hair.
>You half expected the colors to run out...

>You can't miss that blush
 
A. Derpy
B. Rainbow
C. Shower alone
 
>You scoot-a-loo a little closer to Rainbow Dash.
"Anon, go back over there."

>Dash laughs and hands you a bar of soap.
>Not like you have twenty already.
"Wanna try some of my shampoo?"
>Uh, sure...
>You take her shampoo and read the label.
>Something, something, something, strawberries.
>You move in close to Rainbow...
>And sniff her hair.
>You never noticed the strawberry scent.
>It's really... really nice.
"Thanks bro. Now stop sniffing my hair!"
>Sure thing.
>Rainbow rinses out the rest of her hair and gathers her stuff.

>Cool.
 
A. Twilight
B. Dorms
C. Girls Hall
