Could you study with Trixie? "You want to study with the great and powerful Trixie?" >It's not like you want to. >You're sorta bound by necessity at this point. "Fine. Follow me." >Trixie leads you back to the girls hall. >B building, of course. >You figure that makes sense. >She leads you to what you assume is her room. >Only one name is one the door sign. >No roommate, Trix? "My previous roommate could not handle the awesome that is-" >Trixie. >Yeah, you get it. >She lets you inside. >It's very... blue. >Not that you expected anything else, really. "Sit on the bed, I suppose. Take out your books." >You could've figured that out for yourself. >You follow Trixie's instructions in order. "Right. So, first question..." >What have you gotten yourself into?   A. Business B. Bizness C. Find Twilight D. Study alone   >You check your phone again. >Twilight still hasn't responded. >Ever if she was stuck or something, you'd think she'd have the courtesy to text back. >Something must be up. >You're gonna have to cut this short... "But we just started!" >Trixie's smart. >You've seen her start fires during lab, so... yeah... >Thanks for the offer though. >You head on out of the B building. >Where could Twilight be? >You ask around, but no one seems to know who she is. >Lol, you thought a nerd would be known around the school. >Maybe Rarity knows? >You take out your phone. >You see the time while you go to your messages. >10 minutes before the final starts. Rarity (Twilight): She was at her desk when I left. >Easy enough to find. >You head over to the girls hall. >LYRA?! "Hey Anon. Want in?" >Yes. >You run to Twilight's door as soon as Lyra opens the hall for you. >It's unlocked. >You creep in slowly. >All that time as a skeleton Thursday really added to your stealth stats. >It's dark inside the room, with the only light coming from a desk lamp across from you. >Twilight's obviously over there. >T-Twilight? >No answer. >You approach carefully. >Oh no! >Twilight! >S-She's... She's... >Asleep. >Twilight, Twilight, wake up. *snore* >Cute. >Maybe if you... >You go in close to her ears and whisper... >Finals... "When?!" >Twilight bolts upright, knocking her books to the floor. >Welcome back to the land of the living, Twilight. >She looks pretty dazed and confused. >What happened last night? "I-I was studying for the test, and I... I think I fell asleep at my desk..." >"Think" >Clearly, she did. >Didn't you tell her to calm down about this test business? "I-I know, but I... The test was so close..." >You put an arm around her. >You understand. >Even if it's totally insane. >You could only hope to change her. >Hope is the key word. >You check your phone. >4 minutes before the finals. "Four minutes?!" >She races into her bathroom. >Probably a good time to mention she didn't have pants on.   >Is she ready now? "I... I think so." >The two of you stand outside of the physics room. >Maybe you should've studied for this. >... >Hell, you know you should've studied for this. >But you'll do fine. >Right? >Twilight grabs your hand. "Sorry, Anon. I'm so... I'm so nervous..." >You open the door. >No turning back now.   "That wasn't... so bad..." >Twilight's lower lip is trembling. >Why is she so bad at lying. "I-I thought it was okay..." >Sure. >For you... >Well, you definitely should've studied. >But your basic knowledge from high school should help you along, right? "I'Ill see you later, alright, Anon? I have to study for Biology..." >Sure. >Hopefully she won't overdose on knowledge again. "I-I won't..." >You give her a hug and send her on her way. >She'll be fine. >Hopefully. >You head back to the lobby. >Rarity and Fluttershy are heading back from class. Probably. >Octavia and Lyra are close behind. >Though, the two groups aren't acknowledging each other. >Weird.   A. Rarity and Fluttershy B. Octavia and Lyra C. Girls Hall D. Food   >The music is more interesting. >You slip past Rarity and Fluttershy unnoticed. >Sweet, sweet stealth skills. >Hey girls. "Hello Anonymous." "Hey Anon. Found what you were looking for before?" >You found her. >Oh, you found her alright. "Um, okay then..." >You laugh to ease the awkwardness. >Octavia laughs with you. >It's a new sound. >It's not bad. >What's good with them? "Just wrapping up practice for the quarter. Not much demand for classical music these days." >True. >Too bad people don't like their sound. >It's really not half bad. >Octavia gives you a smile. "Anonymous?" >R-Rarity? >The fine arts major comes from behind with Fluttershy. >Meeting of the spirits. >This should be interesting. "We were just about to get lunch. Care to join us?" >S- "Sure!" >Thanks for answering, Lyra. "No problem!" >Rarity gives Octavia and her high-strung companion a look. >This really should be interesting.   A. Lunch B. Girls hall C. Dorm D. Outside   >You might as well join them. >Barely passing tests always makes you hungry. >The girls pick out a table, with Rarity saving a seat for you. >Or was that Octavia. >Now that you think about it, they are sorta alike... >Odd. >The girls start talking about the school and boys and whatnot. >Rarity and Octavia seem to be hitting it off pretty well. >Nice. >And Lyra's trying to get Fluttershy's attention. >The turtle ain't coming out of her shell...   A. Fluttershy B. Octavia C. Lyra D. Rarity   >Yeah, Lyra's not gonna get far with her. "What're you talking about, Anon. She's totally coming out of her shell." >Fluttershy's sweater has never been higher. >She's pretty... um... shy... >In case Lyra hadn't figured it out already. "Oh, really?" >Yeah. "Sorry then. What did you say your name was again." *mumbles* "What?" *mumbles slightly louder* "It sounds like you're trying to say Fluttershy..." >Fluttershy nods and goes back to her food. >So... interesting. >As you talk to Lyra, your phone starts vibrating. Applejack: Out of class. You wanted to meet or something? >Oh, right. >You check the time. >It's almost 2 now.   A. Applejack B. Stay and eat C. Outside   >You excuse yourself from the table. >Something important you have to take care of. "Oh, well, later then." >Later, Flootsy/Rarity/Lyra/Octavia. >Whoever said that last thing, anyway.   >You meet Applejack in the girls hall. >Her room. >Her OLD room. >Poor people... "Howdy Anon." >She gives you a hug and a quick kiss. >At least that hasn't changed. "So how're things 'round here?" >They've been good. >You just finished the physics final. >So there's that for now. >What about her? "AS finishes in a few days. After that, Ah gotta git back ta the farm." >She rubs her arm. "Granny's been askin' about ya. Always askin' about the family savior." >She gives you a smile. >It seems kind of forced. >Great job, Anon. "So, what'd ya want'a see me fer, anyway? Ah gotta catch mah ride."   A. The "Rainbow" talk (business) B. Bizness C. Chat   >You... >*sigh* >You really need to talk to her about stuff. "What kind'a stuff?" >A few things. >Mostly about you and her. "Ah thought we clarified all that? It's 'n open relationship now, right?" >Well, yeah. >But you're worried that Applejack isn't so thrilled with the open part. >She turns away from you. >Obviously you're hitting the nail close to the head. >Applejack takes a seat on her old bed and looks down at the ground. "Listen, Anon. Ah think Ah know what yer gonna say..." >Really? "Yeah. But, Ah... Ya hafta understand, Anon... Ah love ya too much ta let ya go. Ah thought that maybe ya felt the same way, and that we could be together again." >She goes silent for a bit. "Ah... Ah want a happy endin' fer us, Anon. That's all Ah wanted." >That got emotional fast... >Silence settles around the room. >Right...   A. Love approach B. Blunt approach C. Bizness   >You sit down next to her. >You have to be honest with her. >You've... seen a few other women... >Applejack looks at you, obviously shocked. >She was gonna find out eventually. "A... A few? Mind if Ah ask ya... who?" >Not at all. >First there was Femanon. "The girl who came ta visit?" >Yeah, her. >Applejack looks down. "Ah sorta thought that somethin' was goin' on with you two..." >That explains why Applejack was acting so weird on Friday. "Sorry about that..." >She gives you another look. "Is there anyone else?" >Well, one more. >You probably shouldn't tell her about Rainbow right now. >But she should know about Derpy... "Ya... Ya slept with Derpy?" >Yes. >Applejack seems... angry now. >Why so seri- "Anon, did ya break up with me or whatever do whatever ya did with us just to be with her?" >You... what? >No, of course not. "How can Ah trust ya? Ah thought you were always gonna be honest with me. Then ya go ahead and sleep with Derpy..." >Why isn't she mad about Femanon? "Ah... maybe ya just had ta resolver yer feelin's fer her. That ain't so bad..." >The calmness is fleeting. "But that ain't right what ya did, sleeping with Derpy. All because she liked ya, and ya wanted her instead of me?" >No, no, it's not like that. >You had the... opportunity... >And you took it. >Is that so wrong? >Applejack starts to tear up. >You move in a little closer. >Wait, Applejack- "Naw, shut up Anon. Ah don't want'a hear it. Ah thought you were dif'rent..." >You reach for a tissue and had it to her. >She's... she's in a bad place right now. >You never meant to hurt Applejack. >Femmy was a one time thing, for sure. >Derpy was offering, so you took what you could. >It's not about feelings for them. >Applejack looks up from her tear soaked tissue. "Then what is it about then, Anon? Tell me." >You look down at your hands. >Time to switch tatics... >You... you needed something that could help you move on from Applejack. "But why, Anon? What'd Ah do wrong? Wasn't Ah good enough?" >That's just it. >Applejack was... is... great. >But being away from her for so long... >That would never work out. >There's just no way. >And that might leave you two in a place worse than where you are now... >Applejack blows into another tissue. "Ah... Ah understand..." >Does she really? >She nods. "Ah didn't think of it like that. Ah... Ah must admit, it's all really new to me, this relationship business, but what ya said makes sense." >She wipes away her tears and gives you a hopeful smile. "Ah understand, really. This is fer the best." >Is she going to be okay with all this. "It's gonna be hard, but Ah'll move on, definitely..." >She gives you a kiss on the cheek. "Ah just want ya ta be honest with me from now on, ya hear?" >Definitely. >Applejack looks at her watch. "Ah... Ah better git goin' now. Big Mac is waitin'." >Applejack gets her stuff and goes to the door. "Ah'll see ya around, Anon." >She gives you hug.   >You did something right.   End Day 44+   End Day 44+   Applejack arc: Complete!   Applejack rapport up! Twilight rapport up!
