Peachy and I sat as hundreds of other Freshmen walked out of the paths, it took almost fifteen minutes for everypony to clear out, yet the two of us just stayed in our seats, looking up at the sky. I couldn't believe that I was in FillyDelphia! After everything that happened over the years, I was finally living my dream.
"Hey Scoots?Do you ever think that we're just dreaming...like that none of this is real?" Peachy asked as we saw flights of pegasi passing overhead.
"If it's a dream, I don't want to wake up."
"Do you mind if i spend the night in your dorm, I don't want to walk home alone." Peachy asked, she her voice shuddered.
"Yeah! It'll be like a sleepover." I said happily.
"I've never had a sleepover before!" Peachy beamed, the two of us started walking away from the rows of chairs towards my dorm.
The two of us started running towards our dorm in excitement. We ran up the staircase through the main lobby and stopped on my floor. We slowed to catch our breath as I pulled out my key.
"You know, I don't even know who my room-mate is yet." I paused before inserting the key into the lock.
"Maybe we'll find out." Peachy said as I opened the door.
"Hopefully." I said, I was tired of waiting.
"So, what if she doesn't like me here?" Peachy asked, feeling spiritually dampened.
"Then I guess we'll have to stay at your room for tonight."
I opened the door and to my surprise, my room-mate was in their bed, sleeping with the blanket over them, disguising their identity. Peachy and I jumped onto my bed, and after a while, decided that it was too early to go to bed. we had to find out who my room-mate was and fast.
"Peachy, let's move the blanket." i whispered, edging closer to the pony.
Peachy followed my lead, the two of us slowly made our way to the side of the bed with the loose blanket. Once there, I poked the flank the was under the blanket to make sure they wouldn't wake up.
"On three," I looked over to Peachy, we both grabbed opposite sides of the loose area, "One....Two... Three!"
We ripped off the top blanket only to reveal something that we never expected, something the made us kind of angry for being so careful:
Another, more tightly wrapped blanket.
"Great, now what d we do?" Peachy asked, looking at me.
"We wake them up or we get the blanket off of them." I said, focusing.
"I guess we'll wake them up." Peachy said, once I agreed, the two of us took our positions and prepared to wake the pony up.
With a small nudge, I awoke the pony(Who started shuffling in their bed) and he sat up. The blanket still covered most of his body, but the bottoms of his forelegs stuck out the sides, showing his bluish red coat. As he pulled the blanket off of him I saw Peachy blush and turn away....I didn't even see it in the first place, whatever it was.
Once his cutie Mark was exposed, I knew it was him, the colt I'd been looking for for a long time, the colt who i'd found...it was Red.

Rainbow dash looked up at the night sky, gazing upon Luna's moon as she thought about Scootaloo. She was alone, Fluttershy couldn't make the 6 hour flight home, so she took the train which wouldn't arrive until tomorrow.
' 'From friend to big sister to mom, what is with this little filly' Rainbow thought of her relationship with Scootaloo and how it evolved over the years. The thoughts of the bubbling little filly made her happy, but the thoughts of her in FillyDelphia, probably scared of everypony and sad to be away from her friends quickly hushed away the happiness.
"No..." Rainbow Dash said aloud, she knew that Scootaloo would be strong in FillyDelphia, she probably was top of the class and had tons of friends, she was probably more happy than she'd been here......
She regretted the thought of the last few words and walked into Fluttershy's cottage, greeted and hugged by the animals as she went to bed. There were only two animals that were allowed into their room; Tank the turtle and Angel Bunny *Demon cough bunny* when she first met him, but he was a good friend to her now.
Rainbow laid down on the soft bed and quickly went to sleep, six hours of flying in a row was tough and tiring work. The two pets laid beside her, comforting her in her time of need, just like usual.

Sweetie Belle and AppleBloom were having a sleepover in the CMC tree house when Sweetie brought it up;
"IO wonder what Scoots is thinking of right now."
AppleBloom looked over at Sweetie belle with somewhat sad eyes and she responded,
"She's probably enjoying FillyDelphia with her new friends!"
Sweetie could tell that AppleBloom was deeply saddened because of Scootaloo's absence from everything around the CMC...which was back down to three members, with 1 alumni.
"AppleBloom, it will be okay, Scootaloo will come home some times, and then all of summer break!" Sweetie cheered, but was semi deprived of cheer herself.
"Ah guess..." AB said sadly.
The two of the fillies continued their sleepover with various activities that would take their minds off of Scootaloo for the night. Sweetie belle wanted to make Applebloom happy, mainly to have somepony who was happy to motivate her.
