>>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."
