Wake him up B. Push him off C. Get out and go   >You go over to Spike. >He really shouldn't waste a day like this. >It's nice outside. >Apparently you can see through blinds. >How to wake him up though...? >You take the sheets and pull them out from under him. >He just rolls over slightly. >That worked well... >New plan. >You pull him from the pillow and put it on the floor. >You get ready. >This should be interesting. >You push him off the edge of the bed. "Ah!" >Laughter ensues. "Anon, what the hell, man?" >You can't stop the Anonster. >Doesn't work like that. >Spike stays on the floor in pain while you head out. >At least he's up. >As you walk, you pass by Pinkie- >No, it's Pinkamena now... >Pinkamena is standing, reading the CU bulletin board. >Or just staring at it blankly. >Who knows. >At least she's back.   A. Pinkie B. Girls Hall C. Food   >You should leave her to... whatever it is she's doing. >As you pass by her, you notice what she's looking at. >It's a flyer for a party. >She slowly turns toward you. "Non.. Nonn-" >You were outta there before she finished the sentence. >Pinkie + parties = nope. >You'll confront what's left of your friend later. >You make your way over to the girls hall. >*Ahem* Lyra... "Oh, hey Anon! Want in?" >Why else would you be here? "Right." >Lat- "Hey, wait a second." >Sure. "Octavia wanted to remind you that she's still willing to teach you an instrument." >Right. >You never gave her a clear answer on that. >Just tell Octavia that you're still considering it. "No problem." >You leave Lyra to her Lyraness and head inside. >Who to see, who to see...   A. Rain and Shyne B. Twilight and Rarity C. Applejack D. Derpy   >You knock on a door. "Yes? Who is it?" >It's Anonymous. >James Anonymous. "Anon?" >Twilight opens the door for you. >Her hair's a mess, and she's still in her night gown. >She rubs her eyes. "Hey, what're you doing here? Rarity's working on something." >You... weren't looking for Rarity. "Oh. Then you wanted me?" >You were just seeing how your friends were doing. "You want to come in?" >Sure. >Rarity's writing something at her desk. >Howdy Rari- "Quiet! I need to finish this." >What's her deal? >Twilight leans in close. "The studio asked for twenty original designs by 12." >That's a big demand. >At least Rarity's getting paid. "Well, actually-" "It's simply dreadful!" >Rarity crumples her paper and throws it into an overflowing trash bin. >She grabs her stuff and runs out. "Wait, Rarity, don't-" "Twilight, please!" >She's gone. >That was odd. >Twilight brushes the hair out of her face. "She's been really busy with her work. Especially yesterday." >But she was out with the group before the game? "I was surprised she even went out at all." >Right...   A. Rarity B. Study C. Another room D. Food   >You walk to the trash bin. >Whatever Rarity did, it can't be that bad. >... >... >You don't really know about fashion. >What does Twilight think? "It's really beautiful. I wish Rarity could see that." >Rarity's got her own problems. >Might be a case of low confidence, or asthma. >Probably both. >You put the paper in your pocket and head out. "Anon, don't you want to stay or study?" >No time. >Your friend is in need of help!   >You find her sitting in the lounge, head buried in her hands. >What's wrong, Rarara? "Oh, Anonymous!" >She falls into your arms, still crying. >This awkward hug can't get any worse... "I can't do it, Anon. It's so much..." >You take out the paper. >Is this really so bad? "Yes! How could you say it's not! Look at the lines..." >The... lines? >Rarity gives you a look. >Oh, right! The lines. >You see it now. >But still, the design looks amazing. "But Anon, I could do so much better." >For now, this is what she'll do. >The studio's probably just testing her to see what she can do under pressure. >She shouldn't worry about it too much. >It's just simple sketches. >And Rarity's a whiz at those. "A-Anon, you really think so?" >Of course you do. >Would you lie to Rarity? >Never. >Rarity wipes her eyes and gives you another hug. >She turns away from you. "I'm sorry, but... thank you..." >Why can't she look at you? "My... My mascara's running." >Hey, she still looks good. >She turns around. >Moderately... >You walk Rarity back to her room. "There you two are. Everyone went out to get some food." >What time is it? >Ten. >So, brunch or something? "Right..." "Well, I'd join you, darling, but I simply must finish by twelve." >Should you get her something? "No thank you, Anon. I've got this." >She smiles and slams the door in your face. >Well, she's got this.   A. Food B. B Hall C. Dorm   >You could go for some food. >Who's coming, again? "Well, it's you, me, Applejack..." >That's it. "Fluttershy has to take care of her dog." >Lol, she knows about that. "Yeah. I don't think it's such a good idea, but if she must..." >Yeahyeahyeah. >What about Rainbow? "I haven't seen her." >Oh well. >Let's get going then. "Just give me a second..." >Twilight goes back inside, coming back a second later with a book in her hand. >Really, Twilight? "I... I need to study..." >Classic.   "Howdy, ya'll!" >Applejack gives you a hug and takes a seat between you and Twilight. >Not like there weren't any other empty tables here. >Why are you eating at the dining hall and not the lounge? "The lounge is gettin' renovated 'er somethin'." >Ah, right. "Hey Anon!" >Who's that? >Oh, hey Vinyl. >The Dj takes a seat across from you. "Yer that girl from all the parties, right?" "Yep. Vinyl Scratch, Dj extraordinaire!" >Alright Vinyl. >You get it, she's good. "I can't help it if I have fans..." >Touche.   A. Vinyl B. Applejack C. Rainbow   >What's new in the wonderful world of music? "Not much. I haven't really done anything since the party Friday." "Lack of inspiration, Ah reckon?" >Vinyl twirls her fork. >3/4 time, no less. "Sorta..." >Hey, she'll think of something. >Her music is totally kick ass. >Like the movie. >Creativity comes and goes. >But talent... that never dies. "That's profound..." >Vinyl laughs and gets up. "In that case, I better get to work." >Well, if she must." >You fist her and watch her go off into the world. >She's gonna do great things. >Probably. "So, Anon. Ah was thinkin' we could go in'ta town and see a movie or somethin'..." >That sounds nice...   A. Agree B. Declince C. Maybe D. Leave   >Your phone rings. >Sorry Applejack, you have to- "Naw, Ah understand..." >She sighs and goes back to her food. >Uh, who is this? "It's Rainbow, who else?" >Why not just text? "Because I had to save you, duh." >From what, darling? "From messing up with Applejack or something." >You take a quick look around. >Where is she? "Look to your left." >You turn and see Rainbow waving at you, phone to her ear. >Damn the glass doors. >She could see everything... >Sorry ladies, you have to go... er... take care of something... "Bye Anon." "Ah'll see ya around, Anon." >Sure. >You run over to Rainbow. >How much did she see? "All of it, dude." >But it was, like, less than ten seconds of talking. "Body language." >She puts her phone in her bag. "Dude, let's go for a run." >In these jeans? "Come on..." >Fine. >You start off at a slow pace. >You never did have a chance to say congrats to Rainbow. "No problem, dude. That game was hard, but, heck, you were right. I didn't need to worry about it." >See, of course you were ri- "Because I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest..." >Okay, just tone it down a bi- "Strongest..." >That's cock- "And best soccer player here!" >Aaaaand she's gone. "Just messing with you, dude." >Yeah, sure. >Watch that ego, darling, lest it consume you. "Uh, sure?" >Good. "Okay, but now onto the real issue." >Which is? "Applejack."   A. Avoid the topic B. Talk about it C. Leave   "You realize you have to talk to her eventually, right?" >Seriously, why should you? >Applejack's been getting sort of... clingy. >Especially when you actually see her. >You thought the relationship was defined. "Maybe she thinks it's like you broke up with her..." >Doesn't she know about this stuff? "She told me a while ago that you're, like, her second serious relationship. Or maybe her first..." >She's never dated? "Yeah, duh. She just never had a relationship before." >That's... odd. >Applejack is really a great girl. >The only reason you decided on an open relationship was because of her leaving. >Waiting for a whole quarter, expecting feelings to be the same. >Especially after Friday. >Thank's Femmy. "What? Who's Femmy?" >It's nothing. >But Applejack... >Dammit, Applejack. "Dude, you shouldn't mess this up just because she's leaving..." >But, waiting that long? "I... yeah..." >So she agrees? "Sorta... it's complicated when you look at it from the outside..." >The two of you slow to a walk. >You end up by the forest edge. "You know, she really does love you. She told me the other day." >That's supposed to make you feel better? "No. I just thought you should know..." >Great. >You look into the forest. >It's really not such a great place, is it? "It's pretty creepy, really." >Let's get back inside. >Rainbow's room is empty, save for the dog. >Fluttershy must be out doing mom errands or something. "Make yourself comfy, I guess. Not much else to do today." >She can say that again. >Rainbow goes into the bathroom while you lean back in her chair. >It's so... soft. >Of course the girls hall is much nicer.   A. Dorm B. Rainbow (biz/business) C. Leave D. Steal her pillows   >It's so nice, in fact... >They definitely wouldn't miss a few things. >Like pillows. >You grab dem pillows and stuff them into your bag. >Wait, what's that smell... >That's... >Femmy's back? >No, that's the pillow. >Rainbow uses the same shampoo? >Your mind flashes back to yesterday, and the shower. >That was... really, really nice. >Dammit, Rainbow... >You try to find the one that smells the least like Fem- Rainbow. >Actually, screw this. >You take one from Fluttershy's bed. >The dog barks. >Shh, buddy. >It's only for the rest of the quarter... >You stuff it in your bag and head out. >Later, Rainbow. "Later, dude."   A. Study B. Vidya C. Sleep   >You need to relax. >Between Applejack, Femmy, and Rainbow's scent, you're done. >You make the long journey home. >Spike's already inside. >What's with the ice pack, bro? "You know exactly what it's for, Anon." >Oh, right. >Haha. >You'll make it up to him. "How?" >Three games, Smash Bros. >Winner buys the loser dinner. "You're on!" >You turn on your Wiimasterrace console. "You're gonna get creamed, dude." >He clearly doesn't understand the finer points of swordsmanship. >Speaking of long pointy things, you just got a text message. >The joke is, it's from Rainbow. Rainbow: You stole Fluttershy's pillows? >Nope. >Spike chooses Pit. >Why was that so predictable... >Dude, everyone goes Fox, everyone goes Final Destination. "But." >Play the right way, or not at all. "But I-" >You press start. >Let's a-go.   >You're gonna be here for a while   End Day 41+   End Day 41+   Applejack rapport ??? Rarity rapport up!
