Food B. Sleep C. Lobby   >Hours of gaming can take their toll. >Your stomach turns inside you. >Must...Feed... >You nigger on over to the Dining Hall. >It's pretty empty. >Everyone must be class. >Like good students. >famiry is shamed >You get in line and pick out some bananas. >Delicious. >You try to find an empty table, or at least someone familiar. >You notice Applejack sitting alone by the doors. >You also see Rarity sitting with a boys around her. >Typical "lady".   A. Applejack B. Rarity C. Eat Alone   >Rarity looks busy. >Sucking on the attention of horny men must take a lot of time out of her schedule. >Poor Spike... >Luckily, Applejack seems more down-to-earth. >Must be a hereditary thing. >Working on a farm must be awesome. >You take your bananas over to Applejack. >She has a pie in front of her. >What kind of pie? "Oh, hey Anon. Didn't see ya there. It's apple. Wanna slice?" >Predictable much? >Still... Wynaut? >Apple pie and bananas. >Not implying much there. >Applejack giggles and gives you a slice. >She has class after this? "Yeah... gotta back outside for AS. >That sounds like fun. "It's an easy A. Ah've been doin' this sort of thing for years. Even though, this time, I ain't got my brother and sis to help me out." >She has a brother? "Yeah. Big Macintosh, and Applebloom. Big Mac actually goes here, but for math..." >She looks down at her food. "Granny Smith was mad somethin' awful when he told her that. She really wanted him to help out with the farm, y'know?" >You nod understandingly. >Tradition and jews and Anatevka, right? "We've never really had any money problems either, so Ah guess he wants to go in'ta business or somethin' fancy." >Understandable. >A change in scenery is always nice. >Applejack smiles and nods. >You check the clock. >12:30. "Oh darn! Ah'm late for class!"   A. Go with her B. Hang back   >Being a gentleman is always top priority. >Right up there with class and League. >You crack yourself up. >Applejack packs up her stuff and starts leaving. >You get your stuff too. >Checking out AS might be fun. "You wanna come with me, Anon. Check out what life is like on the farm?" >Sure. >Or maybe it'd just be easier to spend time with her that way... "Aww, shucks Anon..." >The two of you walk outside, behind the school. >Somehow, you never noticed the massive amount of farmland sitting behind the school. >Some 10 acres filled with rows of crops. >No wonder the vegetables in the dining hall are so cheap. >doesn't mean you'd ever eat your greens though... "Ain't it nice? It's not like the farm back home, but it's pretty darn close." >She seems a little sad... >Maybe... homesick? "Naw... I..." >She puts on a smile. "My life was all on that farm, y'know? Being in'a new place, even college... It's kinda hard ta get used too." >You put an arm around her. >She seems pretty tough. >There's probably nothing she can't get through. >And she always has you. >She smiles at you, and sorta blushes. "Ah... thank ya, Anon." >She heads on over to the field and picks up some gardening tools. >Tools. >Hot.   A. Stay and garden B. Lobby C. Dorm   >She's getting busy with those carrots. >A girl nearby starts talking to her, and she laughs. >She'll be fine. >You wave goodbye and head back inside. >Since you missed your classes, you have free reign of the school. >You walk into the lobby and sit down on the couch. >Maybe your phone has something interesting? >Ooo... >It do... Pinkie Pie: Where ya been Nonny? Missed you in class. >That's true. >You haven't seen your Ponka in a few days. >You'll probably see her later. >In the meantime, you start to hear the sounds of hard rock coming from a nearby room. >You've never noticed that before... >You head on over and look through a window. >The first thing you notice is the group of obvious hipsters standing around. >You also notice who they're staring at, in the center of the room. >The sparkling blue hair completes the bass guitar and tanned skin.   A. Go inside B. Dorm C. Lobby again   >The music calls to you. >The hipsters inside look at you, and then your clothes. >Their whispers don't deter you though. >The obviously-cool-guy in the center of the room notices their whispers and turns around. >He gives his best million-dollar smile and offers you his hand. "Hey brah, what's goodie with you? It's nice to meet you." >[spoiler]Who... who talks like that?[/spoiler] >Your hand meets his and attempts to imitate it's motions. >He's clearly trying hard to impress. "Yo, what's your name, bro? >Anon... "Cool name, bro. The guys here call me Flash. Flash Sentry." >The hipsters nod in agreement and resume whispering. >You start to wonder why you came in here in the first place.   A. Talk to Flash B. Leave   >At least he's trying to be accommodating. >The hipsters around the room haven't done anything 'cept stare at you and whisper. >Damned hispters and their record players. >Whatever, it's 2009! "What, brah?" >You think he means to say 'whose bra." "What brah?" >Your god-tier humor is lost on him. >Flash starts talking to you about epic music, like Fishead and Death Monkey. "You know those bands, right brah?" >Definitely not too underground for you... >You let him talk more about how cool and fun he is. >Regular Van Wilder, sure... "So, dude, you know that chick Twilight?" >A little. >She's pretty cool, you suppose. "Well, between you and me..." >He looks around the room as the hipsters turn to face him. "I'm totally gonna tap that, bro. She totally digs me." >Is that so? >Thought of them is... unsettling. >He doesn't seem her type. >But you won't get in his way. >After all, you barely know Twilight, save for her voracious reading habits. >As he talks to you about her [spoiler]plot[/spoiler] and other girls he's banged, you eye his guitar.   A. Ask to see it B. Keep listening C. Leave   >Nice guitar. >No, wait, it's a bass. >How'd he play it like a guitar before...? "It's nice, right? My father gave it to me before I left to come here. It's been in my family for generations." >It's nice. >Obviously his dad lied though... >It's a 2009 model. >But Flash doesn't use his muscles to think, so you won't ruin it for him. >Can you see it? "Sure brah. You play?" >Sure... >[spoiler]To quote someone we haven't met yet, noooope[/spoiler] >You pick up the bass and trying playing a few chords. >Years of music training [spoiler]you never had[/spoiler] paid off. >The hipsters around you shake their heads, but it only makes you try harder. >You grip the neck even harder, and start moving your feet to your non-music. >You soon find yourself on the floor, with cords tangled between your feet. >And a broken bass in your hands. >Maybe you gripped to tight. >You get up and see Flash's tanned face glaring at you. "Dude, the fuck is wrong with you? My grandfather made that guitar by hand!" >Sure he did... [spoiler]freakin nazi musicians...[/spoiler] >You take off the strap of the guitar and try handing him the pieces. >Too bad he's revving up a punch.   A. Get out of dodge [spoiler]you get the joke[/spoiler] B. Use the bass C. Punch   >The hipsters surround you as Flash throws his punch. >The body of his bass blocks his punch, causing him to scream in pain. "You'll pay for that, you piece of shit!" >He goes in for the kill again. >Luckily, you're ready this time. >You dodge and swing what remains of the guitar into his stomach, in total Scott Pilgrim fashion. >You hear the air rush out of him as he stumbles back into the open arms of his hipster army. >An army that is now coming after you. >After all, you just wrecked [spoiler]Xerxes[/spoiler]. >You get the hell outta dodge as the faceless hipsters run after you, hoodies and baggie jeans. >You're a little winded from the fight, and they're catching up fast. >You gotta hide somewhere.   A. Dorm B. Dining Hall C. Outside D. Request (dubs)   >They'll definitely get you if you go to your dorm.. >And the Dining Hall may or may not be packed... >And outside is too... spacious. >As you run, you pass by the entrance to the girls hall. >As if some god favored you, the entrance if open. >You look behind you to see if the Hipster Army is close. >They're not even in sight. >Probably stopped at the Campus Coffee Kiosk. >You head into the girls hall, watching for any roaming RA's. >There's an open door to your right. >Enter? >Y_ >E_ >S_ >Action accepted. >You duck inside and hide under a frilly cloth-thing. >You don't expect the HA's to find you here. >What you don't expect, however, is for that frilly cloth-thing to yelp. "Anon! What are you doing?!" >You get out from under it and realize that you were under a dress. >An occupied one. >You turn and see Rarity, mouth agape, running a needle through a thread. >And behind you, Fluttershy is a tomato.   A. Explain B. Fluttershy C. Rarity D. Leave   >Well, this is awkward... >You tell the two shocked girls about Flash and what happened. >Fluttershy is still too tomato to talk, but Rarity looks at you in disgust. >For Flash, that it... "I always new that boy was terrible. After all, he chose Twilight! After I tried so hard..." >Err... what? "Nothing, darling.You can stay here. I just wished you had told me before you went under Fluttershy..." >You both look at Fluttershy, who quickly turns away from your gaze. *Sigh*"She'll be like that for a while, I suppose." >The least you could do is say sorry. >You tell her that you were only trying to get away, and that you didn't see... anything... >She's pales a little more, a good thing in this situation. "It's... It's okay Anon. I guess i'd do the same thing if I were you, too..." >At least she's responding...   A. Leave B. Rarity C. Fluttershy   >You leave Rarity to her sewing and turn to Fluttershy. >Her shyness really defines her. >So does that dress. >Flattery doesn't describe what it does for her body... >And those boobs... >[spoiler]Thank you, MegaSweet[/spoiler] >They're so... big... >She notices you staring, and blushes hard. "Anon... could you..." >Could you... what? >Her shyness is preventing her from saying it. >What is it, Flootsy? "Could you... not stare at my chest... It's embarrasing..." >You didn't even realize your gaze was on them. >Totally worth it. >Rarity laughs behind you. "Fluttershy, darling, you must realize that your assets are your greatest strength. Just look at me!" >Rarity. >Simply whorish >though classy. >Anyone say Killer Queen? >Unfortunately, Rarity's comment only makes Fluttershy cover herself even more. "That's okay Rarity... I could never do what... what you do..." >Oh, the implications... >Rarity laughs again and finishes threading the needle. "Fluttershy dear, I need you to take the dress off again. I must finish the trim." >Flootsy blushes again. "B-But... Anon is he-" "Nonsense. Fashion is more important!" >Yes. >Yes it is. >However, before you can get your free peep show, Flootsy pushes you out of the room. "I'm sorry Anon! I just... can't let you see me... like... like that..." >Damn... >Now your outside the room. >Flash's goons are nowhere in sight. >It's probably safe to go out...   A. Dorm B. Lobby C. Outside   >Probably safe... >Not safe enough though... >There's one place you haven't checked out yet... >The gym. >You follow the campus maps to this new foreign land. >Back home, you used to work out a little, but nothing serious. >After that little... altercation with flash... it's probably a good time to start seriously training your body. [spoiler]As I always say, get your summer body in winter[/spoiler] >You enter the gym, free with your I.D. >As you wander the barbel racks and treadmills, filled with /fit/girls and /fit/men, you notice a familiar body in tight clothing. >Really tight clothes... >oh... so tight. >At least the rainbow hair works for her.   A. Rainbow B. Train alone   >Rainbow is sitting down on a bench, drinking from a water bottle. >She's pretty wet... >From sweat. >Nice. >What's she been up too? "Anon? What're you doing here? I didn't know you worked out?" >She looks at your arms and legs. "And you probably don't..." >Hey... she's right... >She laughs at you (or with you?) "Come on. I'll help you out. I'm sort of a pro at this." >Just like on the soccer field. "You saw the game the other day?" >Yeah. >She was pretty good. >Rainbow sets you up with some barbels and has you do a few curls. "I had to do good. It was the first game of the season. I gotta keep my scholarship somehow." >She's got a scholarship? >Lucky... "Sports are easy. I'm good at everything." >She laughs and pats you on the back hard, making you drop one of the weights. "I'm just cool like that." >Yeah. >30% cooler >The two of you move on to a bench press. >She sure you can do this? "Sure Anon. You'll totally wreck this thing!" >Her enthusiasm infects you. >She spots you as you do a few reps. >You do the same for her once you're done. >How does she like it here, now that's it's been about a week? "I like the school. Though, I only came here cause of the scholarship." >You can understand that. >The two of you head towards the door of the gym. "Nice job today Anon. Maybe we could work out together again sometime." >Sure. That'd be fun. >She hands you a slip of paper and runs off. "Oh yeah... Stop being absent. I need someone cool to hang with in English" >You watch Rainbow and her yoga pants run off. >Yoga pants. >Gifts from the gods themselves. >Well, that was fun, but now you're alone... >With a girls number, but still alone...   A. Dorm B. Lobby C. Dining Hall   >It's probably not best to disturb the Leaguing Spike. >You'll deal with him later, hopefully. >You head on over to the lobby. >Maybe you'll find some cool people there. >Over by a table, you see Applejack and Twilight talking. >You also notice Pinkie Pie hanging something on the lobby bulletin board.   A. Pinkie B. Twi and Apples   >Pinkie looks sort of busy, with her papers and stuff. >They look a little like flyers. >You'll get one later. >You pull up a chair next to Applejack, who hugs you. "Heya Anon. What're you up t-" "ANON!" >Twilight looks at you, with a mix of concern and contempt. "Are you ok? Flash told me what happened!" >Flash? >Twilight? >Right. >>Asshole of the Century is trying to get at Twilight. >Like that'd happen. >Does she even like that lunkhead? "Who, huh? Flash? Oh yeah... he's... nice." >Who are you kidding, that guy was a dingdong. >Attractive and full of cream. >So does she like him or something? "N-n-no... I just think he's... cute, is all. He's definitely not my type though." >You'll read her, you'll read her. >No, you can't read her poker face. >Probably for the best. >You don't want to get up in her biz. "He's complicated Anon... I don't know how I feel." >Then she looks at you intensely. "I mean, what he did to you-" >Tried to do. "Right... He's got... I don't know, an anger problem? I don't know..." >Damn right, he's got problems.   A. Twilight B. Applejack   >You leave Twilight to her "feelings". >Ugh. >Women... >You turn to Applejack, who is looking at you strangely. >What's up? "Oh, sorry Anon. Ah didn't realize Ah was staring." >No problem. >You don't mind at all. >Applejack turns the shade of her name and looks away. "Yer too sweet Anon." >Sweet like Apple pie. >[spoiler]maybe you'll get some later[/spoiler] >She smiles at you. >Strange feelings come over you. >For some reason, your mind drifts back to Fem- "Hiya Nonny! How's it going? I missed ya in class today." >She pauses to think. >It looks... really hard for her... "Come to think of it, I haven't seen in class for days. What're you busy doing that you can't hang out with me?" >Not much. >Sleeping, leaguing, eating... >Meeting new people. "I love meeting new people!" >You sort of got that... "Hey, what's your names?" >She's looking at Twi and Applejack now. "I'm Twilight Sparkle. Science major." "And Ah'm Applejack. AS student." "Oh wow! That's so cool! Sorry for not introducing myself before. I'm Pinkie Pie!" >Pinkie Pie being pink. >Was the name not obvious? "So, are you all busy tomorrow night?" >The group shakes their heads in unison. "Well, I'm throwing a party for the freshmen tomorrow at around 8. We don't all know each other yet, and that's not very fun, so I thought this would be a great idea. Even the Grad students wanted to help!" >Twilight's eyes widen. "Will... Celestia be there?" "Of course silly!" >Twilight pales a bit, but Applejack reassures her. >What could go wrong. >Pinkie checks her watch, and gasps, spilling her papers. "I'm late. For a very important date!" >She waves as she runs out of the lobby. "Come ta think about it, it is gettin' pretty late ya'll. I think Ah'll turn in for the night." "Me too." >You pack your stuff up and head out the door with the two drowsy girls.   A. Apples B. Twilight C. Dorm   >You say goodbye to Twilight and walk with Applejack. >She's being... quiet... >You've never heard such silence in this place. >Is she okay? "Ah'm sorry Anon. Ah'm just... Ah guess Ah'm a little homesick." >You can relate. >There's not a day that goes by without you thinking back to your family, and what they're doing without you. >But you're making the most of it. >And she has too, too. >She's strong enough to make it on her own too. >Plus, she has Twilight, Pinkie, Big Mac, and you. >She'll be fine. >You put your arm around Applejack to comfort her, and she leans into you. "T-thank you Anon. If you don't mind me saying this, yer one of the best things that's happened ta me since coming here..." >You walk her over to her dorm, which is empty, save for a few papers. >Wait, those are the flyers from before... >Pinkie's her roommate? "Ah, yeah, Ah guess... Ah never crossed paths before with her." >That's odd. >You'd think the one person Pinkie would want to meet would be her roommate... >But that isn't your business. >Pinkie, for all her insanity, seems to always be busy, so that explains that. >Applejack nods understandingly.   A. Leave B. Business C. Bizness   >For some reason, you just don't want to say goodnight. >You want to make this last for a while. >Maybe you'll get something out of it. >She heard about Flash? "O'course Ah did Anon. That's all Twilight could talk about. Did he hurt you too bad?" >He didn't land a single hit on you. >Neither did his army. >Jesus, those people scared you more than [spoiler]SCP-106 look it up. I dare you[/spoiler] >All hoodied and walkman-equipped... >*shudder* "How'd ya get outta that one?" >You tell her about running into the girls dorm. >Leaving out the Fluttershy-dress part is probably for the best. >At least Rarity let you hide there for a while. "Rarity seems, nice..." >She's okay. >She's pretty classy and ladylike, and always has some boy after her. >She's also a pro at using that to her advantage. "Girls like that... that ain't right, y'know? They shouldn't use men like that..." >Hey, it's her life. >When she gets syphilis, she'll have to deal. >Applejack laughs and goes into her bathroom to get changed. >She comes back with significantly less clothes on... >Just a long shirt, with, maybe, nothing underneath. >Zoinks.   A. Business B. Bizness C. Leave   >You stop staring at Applejack's barely clothed body long enough to see the clock on her wall. >It's nearly 11:45. >You never gone this long without sleep before. >You realize this as your phone buzzes. >It's Spike. Spike: Anon! RA about to close the hall. Where are you? >Shit... >You didn't realize the RA locked down the hall on Friday. >Or on anyday. >Must be a first week thing. >You have to go now, or else you'll get caught in here. >That wouldn't be too bad. >But you suddenly care about your reputation with the ladies of CU. >Probably better to go... "Are ya sure Anon?" >Yeah... >Sorry Applejack... "That's okay Anon. Ah'll see ya tomorrow." >You open the door and start to head out, but she stops you. "Are ya going to Pinkie's party?" >Wynaut. >It should be fun. "Good. Ah'm looking foward to it. Maybe we can go together." >Applejack kisses your cheek, and playfully pushes you out of the room before closing the door. >She kissed you... >Now you have to frame your cheek >You run on over to your dorm, where Spike is waiting with the dorm open, "Anon! Finally! Did you get my text?" >Of course, little buddy. >You head inside and get into your pj's. >More correctly, your underwear. >Gotta be rested to party tomorrow. >Spike's going too, right? "Yeah. I think it'll be fun." >It's good he's getting out more. >Something that's also good? >Falling asleep.   End Day 5+   End Day 5+   Applejack rapport up! Twilight rapport down!
