Let's try this Again

Let me Guess

After a good night's sleep, you awake feeling well rested. It almost seemed as of you had no dreams that night. You slept on your side, facing the wall. The wall was void of any posters, because you haven't put any up. Deciding that you were uninterested in the wall, you roll around to face your roommate, Fluttershy.

She was laying on her back, still asleep. Her breath was light and angelic and she seemed so cute when she slept. She had on a light yellow shirt and light pink shorts. Judging by the way she slept, you concluded that she had gotten hot last night. What struck you as odd, was the fact that she had tear stains on her cheeks. Must've had a bad dream.

"Fluttershy?" you say in a questioning tone. She didn't respond though, so you decided to let her stay that way. Feeling hungry, you decide to get dressed so you can head down to get some food. You walk past Fluttershy's bed, bend over, and give her a light kiss on the cheek. You open the door quietly and walk out. Fluttershy then opens her eyes slightly and smiles.

You walked down the wall quietly so that you didn't disturb anyone. On the first floor was a vending machine that had just about everything in it. That was where you were headed. Since it wasn't very far, you decided to take the stairs down. You passed a couple cute girls on the way down. One of the girls gave a look of confusion. Her and her friend decided to turn around to talk to you.

"Are you lost?" one of them asked. She had mint green hair with a light green stripe going through it.

"No," you began, "I actually live in this dorm."

"I've heard about you!" exclaimed her friend, "you're Fluttershy's roommate!" This girl had alternating pink and dark blue strands of hair.

"Yea, I was just heading down to get some food."

"Cool," exclaimed the green haired girl, "which reminds, are you going to festival this afternoon?"

"Don't see why not."

"Great! Can't wait to see you there!"

"May I have your name, ladies?"

"I'm Lyra and this is Bon-Bon."

"It was a pleasure meeting you two, but I'll have to be on my way. I'll see you later."

"Goodbye," the two girls said in unison. They then began to walk upstairs while you headed downstairs to the vending machine. It wasn't long until you found it. The only thing that separated you from the glorious snacks was some glass and a dollar fifty. You pull two dollars from your wallet and put it in the machine. There were a wide variety of snacks to choose from, but one of them caught your eye.

"Is that a sweet roll in a plastic bag?" you ask yourself. Indeed it was. It was a "No Lollygaggin" brand sweet roll, and there was only one left. In your mind, you could imagine an angelic chorus singing while a heavenly light shone upon it. It didn't take you long to put in the code that made the snack fall down, but there seemed to be a problem. It was stuck.

"Son-of-a-bitch!" you yelled. The delicious pastry was so close but so far away. This frustrated you to no end, so you decided to try to shake it down. It still wouldn't budge, so you tried again. Nothing. You slid down the wall next to you in frustration. I could've had it all. Rolling in the de.. Your thought was interrupted by the sound of a loud thud. To your joy, the sweet roll fell down.

"Yer welcome, loverboy," announced Applejack.

"Thank you so much!" you squealed while you bear hugged her. Hmmm, squishy yet firm.

"Is this yer feminine side?" she asked sarcastically.

"Real funny, Applejack."

"Ah thought so."

"So, what brings you down here?"

"Got hungry and wanted a sweet roll." Remebering that you had the last one, you decided to split it with Applejack.

"Here," you said while handing her a piece of the delicious pastry.

"Thanks, sugar cube."

"What are friends for?"

"You goin to the Solar Festival this afternoon?"

"Sure am!" you announced, "want to join me?"

"Ah don't see why not."

"Cool, just come by my dorm around twelve."

"Alright, so you goin back to yer dorm right now?"

"I was, unless you wanted to go do something real quick."

"Wanna go for a walk?"

"Sure!" you say enthusiastically. With that being said, you and Applejack made your ways outside. It was nice warm morning, with not a cloud in the sky. It was quite peaceful outside, with only the occasional bird chirp to break the silence. It didn't take long for Applejack to begin to speak again, not that it bothered you. You found her accent cute with its southern drawl.

"I didn't get to thank ya enough fer last night."

"No thanks are needed," you began, "I just did what any other person would do."

"Ah wish the guys back home would act like you."

"What can I say, I'm just that great."

"Now don't get a big head."

"Bow chicka bow wow."

"Not that one!" Applejack exclaimed while laughing.

"Should've been specific, AJ." You both continued to laugh for a couple of seconds. When you two stopped, you both began to look into each others eyes. Both of you being mesmerized by the other. You two stayed that way for what seemed hours until Applejack did something that was very much unexpected.

"Awe, ta hell with it!" she yelled. In a flash, she grabbed your shirt, pulled you close, and kissed you passionately. Her soft lips were pressed against yours and her tongue found its way into your mouth. You and Applejack stayed that way for a minute, until she broke off.

"Well?"

"Tasted like a sweet roll to me," you responded.
