//------------------------------// // Fluttershy's Roommmate // Story: Let's try this Again // by TheRevolution //------------------------------// "Twilight," Rarity says with an annoyed tone, "I'm going to say this one last time. Stop moving, or I will kill you!" "I just wanted you to do my hair, not give me a complete makeover!" yelled Twilight. "Darling, just let me so my work in peace. Besides, I'm almost done." Rarity then got back to work. She enjoyed doing this work often, but Twilight was being very difficult. Rarity had to admit that Twilight looked really good. Turning her attention to Spike, Rarity spoke up. "Spike, how is my sister doing? I haven't seen her in a while." "She's fine, although there seems to be something upsetting her lately," replied Spike. "Oh, do you have any idea what it could be? I hope it isn't because of me not spending enough time with her." "No, I don't think that's the problem." "What's your opinion then?" "Well, I've noticed that she's been kinda clingy since Featherweight broke up with her." "I bet it's because he asked for some.... improper photos from her, and she never let him take any." Rarity began to get very angry and ball her hand into a fist. "You're probably right, but I don't feel comfortable asking her." "Maybe if you two went to the festival together, you could ask her what is bothering her." "Without Scoots and Bloom?" Spike asked. "Preferably so." "I don't know," Spike said while scratching the back of his neck. "For me, Spike?" Rarity asked Spike. She stuck her bottom lip out and gave him puppy dog eyes, to add effect. "Fine, I'll see what I can do." "Oh thank you, my Spikey-Wikey!" You step out of the shower, feeling refreshed and renewed. This shower is like the water from Final Fantasy. It will go on the list of things I want to marry. Above the Chinese food I ate earlier this week, but below Scarlett Johansson. You reach for the blue towel next to the stall and begin to dry off your body. It was half-past eleven, so you dressed quickly. The festivities begin at noon, so you wanted to get to the courtyard as soon as possible. Rushing to get dressed, you almost forgot about Applejack. You and her were going to festival together, along with Fluttershy now. The only thing you could do was hope that Applejack wouldn't be upset, especially considering what happened this morning. What the hell am I going to do with my whole situation with Applejack? She seems like a nice enough girl, but I also like Fluttershy. Well, at least I know that Applejack likes me. I'm not even sure what Fluttershy thinks. Your thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. "Yes?" "I just wanted to tell you that I'll be next door," said a quiet voice. "Alright, I'll be done soon." "Ok!" You already had on some pants, and were looking for a shirt to put on. The Walking Dead being your favorite show, you put on a shirt that has printed, in white blood-splattered letters "Fight the Dead, Fear the Living." Stepping out of the bathroom was such a relief. The air inside the doorm cooled off your body, causing you to relax. Wanting to do nothing more than take a nap, you remember that you are wanted elsewhere. You head for the door, twist the knob, open it, and walk out. You knock on Applejack's door, and wait for it to be answered. What caught you by surprise, was that it was open by some boy you have never met. He had emerald green hair, and stood only a couple of inches below you. "You must be Fluttershy's roommate," the young male said. Am I going to be forever remebered as "Fluttershy's Roommate?" "Yes I am, and who might you be?" you ask. "I'm Twilight's brother, Spike." "She mentioned that I would be seeing sometime soon. It's nice to finally meet you, but what are you doing in this dorm?" "Just hangin out." "Fair enough. May I come in?" Spike pulled the door open a little bit more, to give you room to walk in. The room was a bit more crowded than usual. "Having a party, Rarity?" you asked sarcastically. "Not without Pinkie. I don't have a death wish." "So what is going on?" "Just giving Twi a makeover." "That's cool, but she seems pretty as she is." "Awe," Twilight began, "that's sweet, but I want to look exceptionally good before Jared gets here." "Who's he?" you asked. "It's my penpal that I've been writing to for over a year." "Cool, well I just came over to pick up AJ and Shy, so we can get to the Solar Festival." "Don't worry, darling, me and Twilight will finish up soon. You three can go on ahead without us," exclaimed Rarity. "Alright then, see you guys at the festivities." you said while you, Applejack, and Fluttershy walked out the door.
