Fixinit:
Last night was normal, or at least as normal as my nights in this world have gotten. We ate dinner, then me and Twilight talked for a while, after that we all went to bed. When we talked we discussed how we would make our relationship last. Neither I nor she had been in a relationship that had lasted for more than a few days. We talked about what we liked and disliked in a partner. We talked about what we wanted to see in the near and distant future. We talked about what problems already needed to be addressed. When we were done talking she went to her room, I went to my couch, when she realized that I wasn’t following her she turned and asked why I wasn’t going to sleep with her. I simply told her that it was still too early for that. She seemed to agree. We went our separate ways.

Silver:
When I was done with dinner and my shower I went straight to my couch to think about Applejack. I thought about her the entire night, falling asleep and dreaming of her at some point in time. I dreamt about her, she was bucking apples in the orchard. Her body moved fluently, coming to an abrupt halt when she struck the tree. The sweat beaded on her brow as she worked, I watched as she placed the buckets under the trees in strategic spots, when she kicked the trees not a single apple hits the ground. Every time all of the apples fall right into place. She took a minute break to rest her legs. Then she saw me. She smiled and waved me over. Then I woke up.

Twilight:
When I went upstairs to my room I was thinking about how every relationship I had been in and why they might have failed. Dillon was my first; he seemed to be the perfect one, Mr. Right, as the mares say. There might have been a number of reasons why he left. He might have been driven away by my lack of experience in the field of love. I knew more than anypony else about friendship, but relationships were an entirely new subject to me. Then I thought about Silver, he had left for obvious reasons, he loved another mare more. I have no objections to this; I realize that I never really loved him either. I felt we were more friends than partners, even when we were “together.” But still. What did he see in Applejack that wasn’t in me? Was it her accent? Was it her hat? Was it the fact that she wasn’t an uptight egghead like me? Then I realized how I was thinking, I was happy for him, and hopefully applejack will see what she has before it’s too late. When I got to my bed I laid awake for a while before I finally fell asleep. I had the same dream I had been having for the past few weeks, now Dillon’s face was shadowed, as if I were forgetting what he looked like.

Spike:
When I was done eating I went to the bedroom to go to sleep, Twilight was talking to Fixinit about mushy squishy lovey stuff, when I was out of sight I pointed to the back of my mouth and gagged. I went to my basket and fell asleep. I dreamt about gems and jewels, the most delicious thing a dragon could get its hands on. I dreamt of giant crystals that stood five times taller than me. I started chewing on one. When I noticed the nasty taste I woke up. This was the third time I had awoken chewing on the side of my basket. I looked up to the bed, Twilight was already fast asleep. I decided not to wake her. I went downstairs to get a glass of water and one of Twilights crystals that she hides in one of the high cabinets. When I entered the hall I heard a thud. Either one of the stallions was awake or there was an intruder. I assumed one of the guys was looking for something in the kitchen. But the sound didn’t come from the kitchen, I was intrigued by this sound, when I thought about it, it sounded like a book hitting the ground. I peeked around the corner to see Fixinit trying to put a book back into its place. He looked like he was struggling to get it back in quickly. I asked him if he needed help, he gave me a frightened look and a rapid shake of his head. I asked him if he was ok, he calmed down and said he was fine, just surprised. He hadn’t expected me to be right around the corner; I probably made him think he was in some sort of trouble. After that he helped me get a drink of water and a few rubies and I went back to bed.

Silver:
I woke up early and woke Fixinit with me. I jumped out of my makeshift-bed and ran upstairs, took a quick shower and ran out the door. I was on my way to Applejacks place to help her again, maybe I’ll even get to work with her today. As I ran to the farm I noticed that there were not nearly enough ponies out and about to call it a normal day. I wondered what the special occasion was. I looked around for banners or flyers, I didn’t see any. I just continued my run, I knew that she woke up early and I didn’t want to miss her.

Applejack:
I woke up early this morning, I had to get ready for the harvest today, we had a larger than normal order this month and we really needed all the help we could get. I thought of the pony that helped us yesterday, he seemed like a nice guy. Big Mac seemed to like him. I wondered if he would show up today. I knew I couldn’t make him work, if he stopped coming it was no reason to get mad or stressed, he helped us once and we should be thankful. I was almost done making breakfast when I heard a knock at the door. I stopped what I was doing, made sure that nothing would boil over or burn, then I went to the front door. When I opened it I found Silver on the other side, he had come back for some reason.
