>>Day starts like any other. Shit, shower, shave, shlep.
>You toss on your v-neck and jeans (that you paid a shitload of money for) and sling your bag around your back.
>Spike's sleeping in... musta been Leaguing too long.
>At least he's at getting sleep.
>As for you, you'd better get up.
>Thursday classes are actually important.
>Somehow.
>What time do they start again?
>10:00
>And now...
>9:30
 
A. Food
B. Class
C. Skip (it's only science)
 
>You'd better get on over to physics.
>You might decide to change majors at some point.
>So it might help to go today.
>You leave Spike and his dreams of Bronze IV.
>You pass the dining hall on your way to the science building.
>Your stomach grumbles accordingly, but you push on.
"Hey Anon! Wait up!"
>You turn to see Twilight running behind you, not carrying her usual encyclopedia or something.
>Hey Twi.
"Hey Anon. Sorry for being snippy yesterday."
>Snippy?
>yfw she uses snippy in sentences.
>It's okay though.
>You got the vibe that she was being sort of... protective?
>She blushes a bit and looks down.
"No, but, Celestia... She's just amazing."
>She shuffles her feet a bit.
"She so smart and popular... Not to mention beautiful..."
>You didn't know a face could go so many shades of red.
>Someone have a girl crush?
>She moves away from you, obviously shocked by your question.
"Anon! I... No!"
>Sure, sure.
>You two chat a little more as you reach the building.
>By the time you're inside the class, you're sure of two things.
>Twilight definitely has a crush on Celestia.
>And that she's uber-dependent.
>Definitely not your type.
>The two of you take your seats and start listening to Prof. Neigh's lecture on particles.
>Why'd you take this class again?
>Oh yeah... it was required....
>Damn.
 
...
 
"Wasn't that amazing? I never knew that physics was so important."
>She didn't know that?
"Ok, I did. But it's always good to know that what you teach yourself is right, you know?"
>...
>Sure.
>The time is 11:30
>You have a lot of free time before your next class.
>Like, 2 an' a half hours.
 
A. Twilight
B. Food
C. Dorm
 
>Your stomach rumbles again.
>This time, it shall not be ignored.
>You head off in the general direction of the dining hall.
"Anon? Where are you going?"
>Food, girl.
>It's always been about food.
"I'm free for a bit. Mind if I come too?"
>Wynaut?
>The two of you make the journey to long lines and crowded lunch tables.
>You find a table that's empty enough for the both of you.
>In between sips of your iced tea, you chat with her.
>How does she like CU?
"I love it here. The classes are amazing, and the professors are so good! And the grad students actually help out!"
>Like Tia?
"Don't call her th-"
>She blushes hard.
"Yes, CELEStia is helpful too."
>yfw girl crushes.
>Anything else she likes about it?
"Well, I haven't seen much outside of here, the dorms, and the classrooms. I don't think you know this, but..."
>She leans in close...
"I'm not really a... social butterfly..."
>WHAT?
>Who'da guessed that?!
>Despite the obvious, she's an okay kid.
"I've always been like that. Ever since I was a kid, I just had to read everything I could. Reading is so amazing! Sure, it cost me a few friends, but... knowledge is worth it, right?"
>Sure, sure.
>Despite her nerdgasming ways, she's tolerable.
>And actually friendly.
>That's nice.
>While she goes on, you notice Applejack enter the dining hall alone.
 
A. Invite over
B. Stay with Twi
 
>You wave Applejack over.
>She seems kind of lost, with no one to help her out.
>Luckily you're there for her.
>You greet her warmly as she sits down.
>Twilight is sort of... apprehensive.
>Too bad she has no book to hide under now.
"Hi ya'll. Watcha up to?"
>You and Twilight here just came back from Physics.
"Well, it's mighty fine to met ya, Twilight. Ah'm Applejack."
"Nice meeting you too."
>Probably put off by Twilight's training Spaghetti, Applejack turns back to you.
"Wait... ain't you a humanities majer or somethin'?"
>They made you take the course anyway.
>Might want to switch over at some point.
[spoiler]like I'd let you do that[/spoiler]
"That's sorta like how they're makin' me take more politics over the extra bio courses ah wanted..."
>Twilight's eyes light up.
"You take bio?"
"Sure ah do. Ah need it for mah AS major."
"AS? How is that? I've never farmed before. Is it interesting?"
>Applejack is sorta taken aback by Twilight's sudden enthusiasm.
>Frankly, so are you.
>She starts probing Applejack with questions about AS and her farm back home.
>It's interesting, but not exactly your cup of tea.
>But a nice side effect is that, as you watch them, they slowly start becoming friends.
>Eventually, the lunch rush ends, and you watch the two of them exchange numbers and laughs as they start packing up.
>yfw you still don't have Twilight's digits.
>The three of you head towards the lobby...
 
A. Applejack
B. Twilight
C. "hoof" it alone
 
>You say goodbye and leave those two to their own devices.
>At least you don't have to hear Twilight's unending Q&Applejack anymore.
>You check your watch.
>1:50.
>Better go to class.
>You missed lab once before, and that couldn't be good.
 
A. Lab
B. Dorm
C. Goof off
 
>Wynaut.
>You head into class and find your seat.
>Soon after, Twilight's through the door, looking a little winded.
>Bitch shoulda watched her time.
>Your lab partners for the day are Twilight, and two Asian freshmen, fresh off the assembly line.
>yfw they look as cloned as ever.
[spoiler]Ok, i'm done[/spoiler]
>Twilight seems to get along with them fine.
>You just hang back and try to look cool with your lab sheets and goggles.
>Macklemore could eat his heart out.
>You watch as they measure magnets and other phenomena and answer questions like, "How do they work?"
>Eventually, Twilight and the Charlies finish the lab.
[spoiler]last one. I promise[/spoiler]
"That was fun! Much better than Tuesday's."
>The Asians nod mechanically in her direction.
>She smiles and turns to you.
"What'd you think, Anon?"
>You thought it was a great way to waste an hour.
>She giggles while trying to remain stern.
"Anon! Class is important."
>Sure, sure...
>She sighs.
"I wish you'd take it more seriously..."
>What your famiry doesn't know won't kill them.
>You and your new... science crew... head out of the lab and head towards the lobby.
>You've got one last class before the day is officially yours.
 
A. Psych
B. Skip
 
Phone available (1)
 
>Prof. Discord seems like a cool enough guy.
>He probably wouldn't mind you skipping out.
>Neither would Pinkie Pie.
>Who is currently running behind you.
"HiyaNonnyGottagoelseI'llbelatetalktoyoulaterok?"
>You say ok to the whizzing, pink blur that is Ponka.
>What a crazy girl.
>Well, the only thing left for you to do is go hang out at the dorms.
>Because that's all you have to go to for now.
>You pull out your phone as you walk.
>Gotta maintain those friendships.
>Who to text...
>You got it.
Derpy (How're you feeling?): I'm feeling much better. Thanks to you ^_^
>It was not trouble.
>She was a friend in need, that's all.
Derpy: That's what makes you special Anon. Always remember that ^_^
>Is it weird if a text message makes you blush?
>You reach your dorm and find Spike texting.
>That's a first.
>What's he been up to?
"Oh, hey Anon! I've just been, uh..."
>Well?
"I've been texting Rarity."
>This nigga.
>Good for him.
"She wanted me to help her with some dresses or something."
>Well, it's a start.
 
A. Spike
B. Vidya
C. Sleep
 
>Would he mind if you say the conversation?
"Uh... I don't know Anon. It's private..."
>Come on Spike...
>He can trust you.
"Well, ok Anon. But only you."
>You start reading his conversation from the start.
>Rarity seems a little... flirtatious...
>More so than usual.
>And you barely talk to her as is.
>Any guy in Spike's position would eat this up right away.
>Plus she has "Spikey-Wikey" in almost every sentence.
>Like, no...
>What was he gonna help her with again?
"I... uh..."
>Nevermind. You found it.
>wft...
>Assistant?
>Really Spike?
"What? Anon, this is my chance to get closer to Rarity. I need this."
>No, he doesn't.
>What he does need is to do is smell the roses.
>She's only using him.
"Anon! C'mon man... This is Rarity we're talking about."
>Exactly the point.
>Sure, she might have her generous moments...
>But women...
>Especially the "ladies"...
>Know how to use men.
>She's only using his affection for her to have him as free labor.
>Spike's eyes widen a bit.
"You mean... she knows I like her?!"
>Then he looks at you intensely.
"Did you... You told her?!"
>What?
>No.
>You haven't talked to her for days.
>And even texting gets one word answers.
>He calms down a bit, but still looks a little sad.
 
(1/X)
 
>Spike, it's not so bad.
>She just thinks that he's a really nice guy.
>Probably.
>And, face it, he's really a sort of doormat for her.
>[spoiler]speaking of which, a certain doormat has been kill from this story[/spoiler]
>He has to stop being such a pushover with her.
>Spike needs to actually show her he can be kind AND assertive; show her that he can actually be of some romantic value to her.
>He looks up at you, semi-smiling.
"You really think I can do that, Anon?"
>Sure you can, son.
"T-Thanks Anon."
>You punch him in the arm and go back to work.
>Which is your bed.
>Typically, Spike would get on LoL and defy nature by not sleeping for days.
>And he does.
"Anon, come join me!"
>That's new.
>You turn on your own laptop and sign in.
>You're gonna be here a while.
"Ha! Welcome to my world."
