//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: The Pink One // Story: Equestria University Adventures // by Freewillornot //------------------------------// There was a knock on the door, followed by another and soon several hard pounds. Ahh, I awoke from my dull dream and started to stir in my bed lifting the covers off of my head to look to my alarm clock that read 7:00am it was too early to get up. “TWILIGHT!! Are you ready to go, the others are waiting?” Looking towards Twilight’s bed I found she was no longer in it. But then hearing water I knew where she was. “Twilight weewhoo Twilight!” “SHE’S IN THE SHOWER!” I yelled back. “In the shower? Oh, could you get her for me?” The unknown voice asked. Remembering the events that took place yesterday “that’s not going to happen” I simply replied. “Well, then could you let me in?” “And who are you?” “Who am I!? Who am I?! Well since you asked so nicely I guess I’ll introduce myself. The names Pinkamina Diane Pie born on a Tuesday and raised on a rock farm. There I met many challenges to express myself but never fear for when there’s a will there’s a way and Pinkie pie always has a way for when there is hope I am there and-“ What is she talking about? All I wanted was a freaking name, not her entire life story. Getting out of bed I grabbed my robe and quickly hurried to the door. On opening it up I found a pink mane and coat pony bouncing up and down while she spoke more nonsense. Behind her stood hunched over was one of the other students that were accepted into Equestria University. He looked miserable, rings under his eyes, hair a mess and it looked as if he was wearing the same thing from yesterday. “Ewww so Twilight got one too.” She forcefully grabbed my hand and shook it up and down shaking me along with it. “It’s nice to meet you… um, what’s your name?” “Greg Fredrickson and you can let go now” I tried getting my hand back but her grip on it was surprisingly strong. I guess being an earth pony has its perks. “Oh, it’s so nice to meet you Greg. Me and Twilight go way back so far back that I don’t really recall how far back it was to a time where-“ Oh someone get me away from this thing. Just then Twilight emerged from the bathroom and on seeing Pinkie shaking me up and down in the doorway she quickly teleported between us breaking the connection saving me from that pink nightmare. “Pinkie, how nice to see you” Twilight’s face showed signs of confusion; she had no clue as to why Pinkie was here. “Twilight!” Pinkie pie yelled with glee jumping on top of her causing the two to fall to the ground. “Oh, Twilight” Pinkie quickly getting off the ground began to bounce uncontrollably with excitement. “Yes, Pinkie” Twilight asked nervously. Pinkie pie went and pushed forward the student that was standing behind her. “I’d like you to meet Mark. He doesn’t say much but that’s okay because I can speak for both of us. On another note, did you forget about our outing with the girls to show our new freshmen buddies around campus?” Yeah, I’m not going anywhere with this lunatic. While Twilight and the lunatic chatted for a bit I went over to Mark. “So how was your first night?” It took him a moment to comply, at first I thought he didn’t hear me but then he spoke. “She never stops talking. While she’s in the bathroom, when she’s eating, I thought I’d get silence when we went to bed but I was wrong, horribly horribly wrong… she talks in her sleep!” Well, thank you Dr.Ivon for not giving me the pink one. Twilight finally got up from the ground brushed herself off and spoke. “I had not forgotten Pinkie, I thought we all agreed on the time of 10:45am and meeting by the celestial fountain.” “Did we, everyone else said that too?” “You didn’t…” Twilight looked to Pinkie pie who had a big smile on her face. “Yeah everyone is waiting outside for you and Greg to begin our magical journey across campus to explore the known and unknown regions of the land-” I scooted up to Twilight and whisper in her ear while Pinkie pie went on another rant “is she always like this.” “For the most part,” Twilight whispered back. Then we both heard these loud breaths coming from behind us and we were a little hesitant to turn around but when we did oh surprise Pinkie pie was there “you know talking when somepony else is, that’s quite rude.” “Ahh” I jumped back, I didn’t even notice her. “Well daylights burning and we need to get a move on it. Twilight, Greg I’ll see you downstairs in 15 minutes or you may just get left behind.” I raised my hand “I’m for being left behind.” Twilight gave me a glare while Pinkie pie started laughing. “Hahaha, I’m only kidding. Your roommate is funny Twilight.” Pinkie said. “Don’t worry Pinkie we’ll be down in 10 minutes,” Twilight said. “Okie Dokie lokie, I’ll see you two downstairs.” And with that Pinkie pie and Mark left. Speak for yourself; I’m not leaving this room. It’s a weekend and I attend to sleep all day I thought to myself. Once the two were gone I removed my robe and jumped back into bed. “What do you think you’re doing?” Twilight asked. “What does it look like genius, I’m going back to bed” I muttered from under my bedsheets. “Look I know it’s the weekend but school starts on Monday and you need to start familiarizing the campus before it starts.” “That’s why they invented maps so you don’t have to search and discover the whereabouts on your own.” “How about a compromise, after I say hi to my friends just you and I go around campus?” “Twilight have fun with your friends, I’m staying here,” I replied. Twilight let out the biggest sigh “I guess I have no choice but to call Pinkie pie back in here to get you up.” “I’m up.” Getting out of bed in an instant I threw on my clothes and was out the door. Twilight teleported next to me “I'm glad you saw it my way.” Oh whatever, I thought to myself. Once outside the dorms, I saw them and stopped. The keys...they're all right here in front of me..
