It's been a while. >Yeah... >It really has. >You look over at Spike's bed. >He's gone, probably out doing some nerd things. >Like, computers or whatever. >Because, like, that's the sort of thing they do...   A. Lounge B. Food C.

Femanon: tough. >Right. >Well, she totally has her own friends now. >Maybe even a boyfriend. Femanon: Right. >C'mon... the game will be fun... >You want to see her- Femanon: Really? >Platonically, of course. Femanon: I'll see what I can do.

"W-what?" >Nothing. >Just doing your Flash impression. >Twilight shoots you a look. >What? >Can't you make a joke? >Anyway, how's Fluttershy been? "I've been okay. Taking care of the dog is tiring, but worth it." >Lol, she still has the dog? >You'd thought by now she'd have given it away or something. "I'd never do that! Who else would take care of her?" >Pet shelters. >Creepy old men. >The Apple family. >The list goes on. >Fluttershy looks a little... reluctant perhaps. >Obviously the dog is taking away from her work. >Maybe she really should consider giving it to someone who can actually care for it. "I-I don't know about that, Anon. I love her..." >Talk about clingy... >Well, she'll figure it out. >Oh, and one other thing, Flootsy. "Yes, Anon?" >She forgot her bra... "Eep!" >Worth it.

"N-no..." >Sure there isn't. >Why isn't she wearing a bra anyway? >Fluttershy's tomato status effect goes away after a few seconds. "I-I had to feed the dog, but I checked the time and realized that I promised Twilight I'd study with her." >Twilight puts down her book for a few seconds. "Fluttershy, you didn't need to rush over here." "Oh, but I had to. I don't like keeping people waiting." >Polite, but missing the point. >All this rushing, the tired eyes. >That dog, Flootsy. >It's killing her... >killing her schoolwork, that is. "I-I don't know..." >Fluttershy... "Someone needs to take care of her, Anon!" >Ok, ok. >She doesn't have to whisper loudly at you. >You look at the time. >Almost ten- "Ten! Anon, let's go!" >Twilight grabs her stuff, then grabs you. >Later, everypony "See ya later, Anon." "B-Bye, guys..."   >A few minutes later, you're chilling in Physics with your home girl Twilight. >Learning about gravity. >And the gravity of the situation. >Is that you two haven't fucked yet.

"Anon!" >Your eyes open wide. >What happened? "You fell asleep in the middle of Professor Neigh's lecture!" >Oh, really? >Why is Twilight so surprised by that, anyway? "We should get going.

Rainbow (Gym?): Soccer practice. Sorry. >Seriously? >Damn... >Maybe... Spike (Gym?): I'll see if I can meet you there. >No definite answers. >Great. >What about... Derpy (Gym?): Soccer practice just ended. Give me a minute. >She didn't practice with Rainbow...? >It's not your place to ask. >Only to inquire. >You go back to the dorm and switch out your clothes. >Sweats never looked so good on a man before. >Derpy is waiting for you inside. >Hugs and kis- hugs all around. "Hey you. Ready to get started?" >Sure. >You look behind her. >Isn't that...? "Oh yeah. I brought Cloudy with me." >Cloud Kicker wants to work out? >She seemed like the "too cool to sweat" type. "Nah, she's totally into it. She's on defense for the team." >Right. >Derpy mentioned that before. >You wave at Cloud Kicker. >She just pops a bubble of gum. >How... cool. "Hey, who's that?" >Derpy points to a spot behind you. >Oh, that's... Spike? >He doesn't need to run over here. "Sorry dude. I just got out of class. Extra work and stuff." >No problem. >Well, now that you have an even number of people...

"Fine..." >You start him off with the bench press. >Time to go for it. >Whatever "it" is.   >An hours later, all four of you are dead tired. "I... I can't lift anymore." >At least Spike did lift. >The internet can't challenge him on that end anymore. >The four of you head downstairs to the showers. >You and Spike head into the boys shower room. "Why's it s-so cold in here?" >Because CU hates men. >Fucking feminists. >You turn the water on to the hottest setting. >But at this point, the forge of Hephaestus couldn't keep you warm.   A. Business B. Listen on the wall. C. Quit the shower   >You bring Spike over to your side of the shower. "What, Anon? This is getting awkward." >*sigh* >Time for Spike to see why showers can be so exciting. "W-What?!" >You put your ear up against the wall. >Spike, just... follow your lead. "O...K..." >What are the girls saying now? >Sounds like... Cloud Kicker. >Or at least, what you imagine her voice to sound like. >All she does is chew gum. "Why don't you *pop* just tell him how you feel?" "Because he already knows, Cloudy. I-I told him a while ago..." "And?" *pop* "Well, there's Applejack..." >Well, you've certainly heard enough. >Later Spike. "But Anon, what were they?" >N-nothing. >Nothing important. >For right now, at least. >You gather your stuff and leave the gym. >Time for class.   "Sorry i'm late everyone. Paperwork..." >Luna takes out the key and opens the door. >Where's the professor for this anyway...? >Not important, right? >Twilight and the Asia-tones are already setting up the lab. >And they didn't even get the instructions yet. >Trixie is no where to be foun- "I, Trixie, command you to move!" >She doesn't have to shout...

"Anon, can you hand me that test tube?" >Sure you could. >You're testing mass, but a test tube obviously is necessary. >You hand over the tube of tests. >This chair is comfy... >She's got this. >Time for sleep...   "Anon! Lab is over." >Really? >That felt like, well... >55 minutes. >Twilight hands your paper to Luna. "Anon, why is it that you never do work in this class?" >Because you're too cool for skool.

Class B. Red and Colgate C.

"How was the farm anyway?" >You tell them the fun parts. >Where you picked apples, and... uh... picked more apples. "That just sounds like work." >Lyra could use some work. >No sense of discipline. >Yfw talking to a musician about discipline. >Whatever happened to you playing the recorder? "You only got up to the recorder?" >You were busy. >Y'know, with puberty and actually having a life. *hmph* "Music is important, you know." >Of course it is. >You'd just believe that more if you actually played an instrument. >Octavia twirls a fork.

"Anon, there you are!" >He shakes your hand in earnest. >Whatever an earnest is... >So, what's the job today, Prof? "Oh, there's no job. I just wanted to tell you something." >Oh... >Thanks for making you rush then. "No problem. Anyway, I visited Pinkie over the weekend." >And? "She should be out of the hospital in around five days." >No shitting? "No lie." >That's awesome! >How is she anyway? "She's fine. The psychiatric evaluations could be better, but she's recovering quite well." >You're sure Discord would be all over the psychiatric evaluations. "And the nurses." >And the nu- what? "Nothing. Here's your pay for the day." >An envelope. >But you barely did anything... "You're good company.

Dorm   >You knock on Vinyl's door. >Is she home? >The sounds of dubstep and bass confirms her presence. >You knock again. >CU needs personal doorbells. >One for the suggestion box. >Vinyl opens the door a few minutes later. >Your patience is legendary. "What's up, Anon? Long time, no see man." >She fists you and lets you inside. >You stay on her side of the room. >The disarray, the music... >Discord would love it here. "The psych guy? I might take that next quarter." >No shit? >It's a fun class. "I've heard. I'm taking it to learn more about music and the mind." >So she can create a truly captive audience? "What? I'm not a theater major." >Laughs all around. >What's she been doing? "Not much. Just playing at parties and working hard on new sounds." >You heard some of it outside. >She's getting better. >Even if she was great to start with. >Vinyl smiles and goes back to her laptop. "Thanks dude. It's just... It's really a lot, you know?" >A lot of... "Work. Making music is my life! I just wish I was... I don't know..." >Appreciated? >She has so many fans though. "Exactly. It's not that I'm not appreciated. I just don't... I don't have time to live for myself..." >Responsibility over fun? "Yeah. And that people are only fans, never friends." >Too unapproachable, eh? "Me? Unapproachable? You're joking, right?" >Yep. >Too bad the other kids don't think the same way you do though. "True. Then I might actually have friends here." >Vinyl laughs, but it masks sadness. >It's not hidden well. >You look at your watch. >It's getting late, somehow. >Weird. "You gotta go?" >Yeah... >Sorry, Record Player. "No problem, dude." >You get your stuff and head for the door. "And Anon?" >Hmm? >She hugs you briefly. "Thanks for being there. As a friend, I mean.

"n' the tree house, remember?" >Right. >With the stars so bright. >Lighting up the night. >Scaring away your fright. >It was nice. >Imagine if Apple Bloom followed you up there? "Shucks, Anon. That ain't a right thing ta think about. She's mah little sister." >And her big sister is great company. >You're only messing with her anyway. >You get your loli fill off of /b/. >As Applejack snuggles into your arms, you turn and notice a letter on her desk. >From the Apple Farm? "Ah got it t'day. It's probably nothin' though. Ah'll read it tomorrow." >Whatever floats her boat. >You kiss her and tuck yourself in.
