There's being alone, and then there's being alone; where the only companionship is the screeching of your own subconscious, and every fear and anxiety weighs on you like a blanket of lead. Twilight Sparkle has five amazing friends, but still she feels alone. Is something wrong with her?

Yes. Yes it is.

It's impossible to fully encapsulate the sensation of waking up, only to realize you've turned off your alarm at some point while in a half-slumber, and now the world you're awake in is going to punish you for it. Rarity never sleeps in, but when she misses an important appointment, it's hard not to let herself be consumed by worrying about it. But will fussing over it make things better? Will Rarity set two alarms from now on... WITH SEXY RESULTS?! Read on to find out!

Note: Contains probably some stuff that some ppl won't like. Also not fully edited because too many stories. Sorry.

Why can't it just leave her alone?

My roommate's name is Octavia, or "Tavi" for short. She likes vintage red wine, soft pillows, and long walks on the beach. But, more than anything, she loves music. She loves it with a passion that radiates with every burning color of the spectrum.

Each day I spend with her... or without her, I learn a little bit more about life, about the sick beat to which we all dance, whether we know it or not. I hope you don't mind if I say a few things about her. Just a few things. One can learn a lot from Tavi.

After all, she saved my life.

“Did you just make me feel proud of a character I previously didn't even care about?” (PinkiePieIsBestPonyMoFo)
