I'm back, B*tches! · 1:27am Jun 6th, 2012
*Flying tackle hug*
Oof!
"Author!"
"Well hello darling."
"Its been too long sugarcub!"
"Welcome back, dude!"
*Meep!*
"Ohmygoshyou'reback,wesholdtotallythrowapartyandinviteeveryoneand-"
"I'll admit, even I was starting to miss you."
Wow, thanks everyone, you really know how to make a guy feel loved! It really has been too long, I feel like I haven't seen you guys in forever!
"Yay!"
"Um, Author? You can stop squeezing Derpy now."
*blush* S-Sorry.
"Aw, it's OK. I'm just so happy you're back!"
Me too, Derpy. Me too.
"Well don't leave us hangin', tell us how it went!"
"Yes, please do darling. I must say I am rather curious."
Alright, alright. The final exams were easy, I passed them all with flying colors. To be honest, I'm still not sure why they made me take the exam in Astro-Physics, I was already throwing the curve in that class as it was.
"Good. If you had done any worse than that in any of your classes after I spent all that time tutoring you I might have convinced Celstia to banish you to the moon."
Haha, oh Twilight. Sometimes I love your sense of humor.
"Who said I was joking?"
Uummmm.......
"Nevermind that, tell us about the prom darling!"
Oh, of course. Well... to say it was amazing would probably be an understatement. It was magnificent.
"Oh how lovely! Tell me, what about everyone's outfit?"
Well to be honest, I've never seen so many people dressed up so fancy at one place before. Hell, even I was wearing a tuxedo. Bowtie and everything. As you would say, "Everyone was simply marvelous."
"Oh my! I wish I could have gone with you!"
I don't know Rarity, it was still a party after all. There was a lot of loud music and people dancing all over the place. They even played Party Rock Anthem, and of course I was the only one who could do the entire dace that went with it.
"Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun!"
It was a lot of fun I'm really glad I went. I even had a chance to slow dance with a pretty girl like I promised my mother all those years ago.
"Aww, how sweet."
"Oh, gag."
"Lighten up, Twilight. Anyways, what about yer graduation? Ah always heard it was supposed ta be some sorta big deal."
Yeah, that's what I kept hearing too. Not sure why though. To be honest, all I really did was sit with all the other students from my year in a giant auditorium untill my name got called. Then I walked across a stage in front of a colloseum of parents and families while they took photos and my principle handed me my diploma.
"Well that doesn't sound very cool at all."
I'll admit, it was kind of boring. But it's what happened after graduation that was fun.
"Oh? What happened then?"
Parties Pinkie Pie. Parties as far as the eye could see. Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head. For three days and three nights, all I did was party. In those tree days alone I think I consumed more coffee and 5-hour energy then I have the last year put together. Hell, I didn't even slow down until I woke up on someone else's coach with a lamp-shade on my head and my left shoe missing. I also learned that when you fall asleep at a party not to look in the mirror before washing your face.
"Oh man! That sounds awesome! I want to go with you next time!"
Not all of the parties were raging benders full of wild teenagers dash. Some of them were just little get togethers for me and my family. I even got to see my little niece.
"Aww, and how is the little foal?"
She's doing really well actually. You can barely even see the surgical scars anymore. On top of that, at only six weeks old she can already recognize me.
"Oh, I can't wait to meet the little dear."
I'm sure she would love to meet you too.
"Wow Author, it sounds like you've been really busy.
Yeah, I have Derpy. And I'm really sorry I haven't been spending much time with my girls. And I want to make it up to you all.
"How?"
Lets go spend a day on the town. Baked goods, a picnic at the park, a movie, you name it. My treat.
"That sounds wonderful!"
"Ah agree."
"Count me in."
"Oh, oh, I love having a good time!"
"Anything to get out of this house already."
"Well... there's this new family of baby birds in the big oak tree at the park..."
"Yay! Let's go!"
Alright, it's settled. Just let me check my FimFiction account before we leave...
... Wow. Looks like I have some reading to do.
"C'mon Author, Let's go!"
I'm coming Derpy.

Sounds like everyone had a good time, but what were your degrees, Rarity and Twilight?
Jesus Twi, over-achiever much? Way to put the rest of us down.
Twilight Sparkle, the straight A+ student, protege to Celestia, GOT A B. Mother of God...
Shocking...
Now if only I could actually do that...
And what was your major, AJ?
No secondary education?
Huh.
*Everyone blinks, then simultaneously turn to Fluttershy, who's been sitting quietly off to the right of the group.*
I think you graduated from Flight School, didn't you?
Ah, so you didn't have a graduation either, eh?
Pinkie?
Huh...I had a pretty awesome graduation from high school, but I'm still going through college. Currently fighting to get a job so I can keep going into my second year...but I'm majoring in Computer Science.
Mostly about programming, current practices. Lots of high level programs like GUIs and such, Java mainly. Learned a bit of Assembler as well, and I dread it with every fibre of my being. Talking to the computer on that level is...ABSURDLY hard.
Ah, Miss Fluttershy, you misunderstand. This machine here, that we're using; it's inanimate. It's not 'alive'.
It's extremely complex, but a computer uses electricity in a sequence of signals across the motherboard that is then converted by the CPU and GPU into an interpretable picture on the screen. I haven't learned a whole lot about how the hardware is actually built and how it works, but I do know that all the computer communicates in is '0' and '1'.
Did I mention that this computer can do something with '0' and '1' over 2 billion times per second?
