- >Day gotta get that waifu at Equestria High.
- >Be Norman.
- >Ever since Counselor Cadence helped clear your name at school, you have been trying to get her to be yours.
- >You don't even want to look at Rarity anymore.
- >Most of you lunch time is spent with Miss Cadence.
- >It's weird, you would think that she would hang out with the teachers, but she spends her time with you.
- >Oh well, you can't complain.
- >Thats like a free date.
- >You know what?
- >Today's the day.
- >Today, i'm gonna tell her how i feel.
- >You get your double order of food and head to Cadence's office.
- >You ballance one of the trays on your knee while you open her door.
- >When you get inside, she is there waiting for you with a smile.
- >"Norman! What did they have today?" she asks as she unpacks her food.
- Well, apparently they ran out of materials for pizza and cheese sticks, so cheese day was canceled. Instead, they brought out the meatballs.
- >"Ah, i see. Well, have yourself a seat and we can talk like usual."
- >You place down your food.
- >You begin making small talk like usual, telling each other how your day has been going, and what you've both been up to.
- >Oh yeah, gotta tell her now.
- Cadence, i have to tell you something important.
- >"Oh, actually i have to tell you something important as well!"
- >Oh man, what if she's gonna tell you what you want to tell her.
- Why don't you go first?
- >"Okay, but you are going to freak out when i tell you."
- >Oh man oh man oh man oh ma-
- >"I'M GETTING MARRIED!"
- >...
- Oh... man...
- >"I know! I'm so happy!" she says making that smile that usually lights up your day.
- >But right now, it does not light up your day.
- Wh-who is it?
- >"It's my old Highschool lovebird, Shining Armor. We met only a week ago, and then he pops me the question. This may just be feelings that i have from back then, but i feel that i love him the same way i did back then. I said yes! We're getting married!"
- I... i uh... i just don't know what to say really.
- >"You don't have to say anything, you're invited to come to the wedding!" she says handing you an invitation.
- >You just look at it, that's all you can do right now really.
- >"Oh, that's right, you said you had something important to say too right?"
- Oh... um... not really. Hay, i just remembered that Brad needs help with something... see you later...
- >"Oh, what about your food Norman?"
- Oh, you can throw it all away, i don't really have an appetite anymore...
- -----------------------
- >Final day at Equestria High.
- >Be in line to take your diploma, shake the hand of Principal Celestia, and get on with your life.
- >"Norman Normal." calls out the announcer.
- >You hear the crowd of students go "WOOOOO", "YEAAAAH" and whistle really loudly.
- >Also, your mom is taking, like, 500 pictures per second.
- >Might as well be making a video.
- >You head up to Principal Celestia and shake her hand.
- >"Good job Norman." she says patting you on the back.
- Say something different to the next student.
- >You wink at her and walk off the stage to see her watch you and shake her head with a small smile.
- >After everyone has been called on, you all throw your hats in the air and celebrate.
- >You meet up with your friends and hyuck it up with them for awhile.
- Yo, where's Mrs. Cadence at?
- >"I dunno Norman, i haven't seen her." said Adam with a shrug.
- >That really sucks, she was the one who really fixed shit for you here, you really wanted to see her.
- >Oh well, time to get out of here before your mom grabs you and decides to take even more pictures.
- >You begin to walk out, taking off your robe and shit, and walk to your car so you can drive on home.
- >Wow, it's dark outside.
- >I mean yeah the graduation was scheduled to be late, but still.
- >Just before you get into your car, you hear some sobbing.
- >You turn around to see Mrs. Cadence, the school's counselor crying near a tree.
- Woah woah woah, what's wrong?
- >Cadence looks at you and then quickly wipes away her tears.
- >"O-oh, hay Norman. Congrats on gradu-"
- Don't "Hay Norman" me. What's going on?
- >Cadence's lip begins to quiver and she comes and cries on your shoulder.
- Cadence, what happened?
- >In between sobs, she tells you a slightly incoherent story about how she found out that her husband, shining armor, had been cheating on her.
- How did you find this out?
- >"*sniff* the dumbass called me with video, while he.... while he..."
- I get it...
- >She goes back to resting her head on your shoulder and sobbing.
- >You pat her back and try to calm her down.
- >"*sniff* i guess i'll just catch a bus back home..."
- No no no no no, I'll drive you there.
- >"Norman, that's sweet but-"
- I'm not gonna let you go home by yourself in the condition you're in.
- >Cadence looks at you with tear filled eyes and begins to catch a small smile.
- But first i gotta take you around town and cheer you up.
- >"Norman you don't need to-"
- In the car, we're heading off to a fancy restaurant.
- >"Norman i-"
- *Beep beep*
- You getting in or what?
- >Her smile grows a bit and she hops into the passenger seat.
- >You drive outta there seeing your mom come rushing towards you.
- >"Isn't that your mother Norman?"
- Ah, she just wants to take like, 500 more pictures and then give the story of how i grew up so fast and all that.
- >"I guess i would like to get away from that too if i was in your position." she says waving towards your mother.
- >Looks like she is just starting to light up a bit.
- >Lets kick it into overdrive.
- >You put on your tunes.
- >Scientifically engineered to make people smile.
- >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX_rgHHWwv8
- >"Heheheh. Is this what you normally listen to Norman?"
- Hay now, don't be dissin' on my jams.
- >She has herself a giggle fit.
- >It's always good to hear that from her.
- >Now, where to take her.
- >Maybe she could go for some italian.
- >Mmmmmnah.
- >She would probably just order the spaghetti.
- >How about a greek place?
- >Then again, the only thing i've had at a greek place was a gyro.
- >You don't think she would like gyro's.
- >Maybe she's a burger kind of gal.
- You like gourmet burger's right?
- >"What do you recommend?"
- Well, let me tell you about this place called "Five Guys Burgers".
- -----------
- >You and Cadence are just stuffing your faces full of burger and fries.
- >Only leaving room for the occasional drink break.
- >"Wow, they have really good burgers here!"
- Yeah, and they cook them right in front of you too.
- >You both finish up your meal.
- >It grows silent for awhile.
- >"Norman, could you please drive me home?"
- >...
- Sure Cadence.
- >Damn, you were sure you were putting her in a better mood.
- >You throw away your trash and get a refill on your drink.
- >You open the door to let Cadence out first.
- >"Thank you Norman... for the night."
- Yeah, anytime Cadence. You can always count on me to at least try and cheer you up.
- >She gives you a tiny smile.
- >You open the car door for her, let her inside, close the door, and then get inside.
- So then, where do you live?
- >"I'll just give you the directions. go down the road to the left."
- Gotcha.
- >The car ride is very silent, excluding the parts where cadence tells you to turn.
- >You finally pull up to a two story house.
- >There is a lot of trash and garbage cans out in the front lawn.
- >She must have been throwing away his shit.
- >You get out of the car and walk her to the door.
- Well Cadence... i'm here for whenever you need someone.
- >She stares at you for awhile.
- >"You've always been there for me Norman."
- >You look at her.
- >"C-can you come inside?"
- Cadence isn't it best if i jus-
- >"Please?"
- >You can't refuse her.
- Sure Cadence.
- >She takes your hand and leads you upstairs.
- >She takes you into the bedroom.
- Cadence i know that-
- >She presses her lips against yours.
- >You never thought you would be doing this.
- >You don't know if you should feel shocked, or pleased.
- >She parts the kiss, looking at you straight in the eyes.
- >"You've always been there for me... and i always knew how you really felt..."
- B-but... how?
- >"I guess you can call it women's intuition. Norman, there are many reasons why i couldn't have done that."
- Yeah, you could have gotten fired.
- >"That's the biggest reason. I really wanted to accept your feelings Norman, i really did, but i couldn't. When Shining Armor came to town, i knew i had to be with him to keep you off of my mind."
- >This is a lot of information you can barely wrap your mind around.
- >"But... now you are Done with school, and I'm done with shining... and... i can finally accept your feelings." she says, beginning to kiss you again, this time with a bit of tongue.
- >You've always wanted to do this.
- >Ever since you met her.
- >Maybe you are just a terrible romantic, but this is the best.
- >You part once again, panting a little.
- >"Norman..."
- Cadence...
- >Tonight's going to be a long night.
