//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: Trixie needs you! // Story: Canterlot University: A guide to Friendship // by RainbowJack2000 //------------------------------// After staying one month in the hospital, the doctor finally checks you out. You are happy that you can leave the dungeon and back into the light. Although, you are still learning how to walk after being in bed for so long. You've finished your homework assignments and test, even if you didn't have the slightest idea about the topic. When you go outside, you expected Rainbow Dash's car to come and pick you up. "Hey Dice! Glad to see you're walking on two feet instead of four like a drunk man would," Rainbow commented. "Whatever, Rainbow. Can we just go home?" "Fine, be like that. Just trying to make friendly conversation." "And when have you ever been 'friendly?' " Rainbow Dash stopped herself from saying something she regretted and just pushed you inside the car. Four other girls were in the back. It took you sometime to realize that they were Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity. But there seems to be one missing. "Hey girls. How you doing?" "Oh...um...fine. We were r-really worried about you D-Dice." Fluttershy stammered. "Yeah! I mean I had to eat forty 'worry' cupcakes to make sure you were alright!" Pinkie Pie explained. "Where's Applejack?" you ask. "Oh she couldn't come darling. She had so much homework to catch up on. You know, when you are being investigated and held in court for multiple times, you start to stress out." Rarity said, filing her nails. "By the way, RD, how'd you get your hands on a gun?" Twilight asked. "Some guy at the Gorilla Club gave it to me when I started panicking. Ain't no thang." she beamed. You put your head on the window and sigh. Note to self: Never go with RD and her friends to the mall. You arrive at campus and Headmistress Celestia meets you at the doorway. She asks you a few questions and asks for your homework and tests so that she can bring them to the teacher. Luna was next to her, this time with a PSP3. You roll your eyes and decide to go to your dorm. Some students were exploring the university. When they see you, they could only stare. Some girls even gave you the flirty fingers. You felt like you were being watched everywhere you looked. It didn't take long, but you arrive at your dorm. Your keys were inside (smart move, doofus) so you had to knock instead. "Just a minute! Hold yer horses!" You forgot that Applejack was your roommate and not some dude. You remember how you saved her, how she and RD killed the villians, everything! Then you remember how she kissed you the week before. It was a real good one, probably the best one you had in years. Her lips were soft and rosy as you could remember and she wasn't drunk either. Your other kisses had something to do with drunk girls at some bar you went to with the dudes. The door opens. When AJ opens the door, her eyes bulge right out of her sockets. "Hey AJ. Miss me?" you chuckle. She flings her arms around your neck and hugs you tight. You put yours around her waist. It feels good to be loved. She tells you all about the police investigations, court, the being "left behind" in her studies, and how the whole school heard about the news three days later. You sit down and nod your head like a crazed buffoon. She even tells you that Trixie had a mischievous grin on her face for the entire month. She doesn't know what she's been up to lately. "Ah've missed ya, Dice. Things have gotten quiet since ya were sent ta the hospital. Ah know we only knew each other for a week since then, but you have been so nice to me." "Yeah, well, I'm kind of a nice guy. Although, I have to say, I am impressed with your fighting skills. Didn't know girls could kick butt in real life like that. Only in movies." "A girl can do anything a guy can, ya know. Ah've worked on the farm for ten years 'fore ah moved here. Ah practiced fighting with my brother. Ah got stronger every time." It grows quiet for a moment, then she turns to face you. "How'd you know ah was in trouble? Ah mean, you came in before he could even have a chance to get me...ya know." "Well, I was kind of bored and you were taking too long. When I went to look for you, I didn't see you anywhere. I heard your voice in the bathroom and that's when I barged in." AJ layed on your bed, her head next to your leg. "Well, um... thank you for saving me. Ah guess ah really do owe you something in return. How 'bout a trip to ma favorite restaurant? Or maybe a trip to the zoo? Ah got it! When it's Columbus Week, you. me. Las Vegas!" You think about it for a second. Even if you do go on the trip, chances are you might find your friend being raped and probably molested this time. You shudder at the thought. "As much as I 'd like to go, you might not be safe. I mean, you're a blonde. A smart one who's really pretty-" You stop right there. Great, now you've done it mister Wise guy. AJ looks up at you and smiles. "You think ah'm pretty?" "Well, yeah. I mean every girl has something going for her. And you're the total package, I guess." She looks at you all flirty like. Your heart starts beating out of your chest. Your brain starts talking. She can't be serious! It's all too sudden for this! We only got to the 4th chapter!!!! The author needs at least way more chapters for romance! Applejack sits up and leans in. You don't know why but she stopped midway and whispered, seductively in your ear: "Well this package needs to be delivered. If you're up to it." You look into those big, green eyes of hers and can't help yourself. You start to speak quietly and you're leaning in as well. "You know it's a bit early for kissing. Shouldn't we get to know each other more?" "Why should we? We have all the time to know each other." You were about to object but then you both leaned in until you started kissing. You actually were a little shocked at first, but then you start to enjoy it. It's only been 20 seconds and you're already out of breathe. That's when you pull away and take a breather. She starts panting too and gets up. "Okay then. That's yer reward! Ah'm gonna go now. RD needs me to watch her 'awesome' tricks on her skateboard. See ya later, Dice." she bounced cheerfully out the room. Your jaw drops as she leaves the room. You have never seen AJ so happy, even though you've known her for a week and 2 added days from last week and today. Plus, it's weird how she acts like nothing happened. You have a tingly feeling that you may have developed a teeny tiny crush on her. But you'll just have to wait a week for proof. Dammit! It's only the 4th chapter. This author better make this story longer. Trixie was walking in the hallway and you were walking in her direction. This time you made sure you didn't bump into her. She smiles and goes on her knees. "Dice! Trixie needs you! She's failing her classes and really needs your help!" "And what makes you think I'm going to help you? I know you were spying on us a month ago at Sugarcube Corner." "Psssh. Puh-leeze! I was only ordering from the menu. People say that their desserts are really good, so I decided to try it out myself. Besides, I know you're very smart and that you aced your test, even though you were gone for a month." "And how do you know that?" "A magician never reveals her secrets. Please, pretty please with whip cream, sprinkles, and cherry on top?" she gave you the biggest set of puppy eyes. You don't know you're about to fall for her trap, but you agree anyway. "YAY! Thanks Dice! Tutoring session starts Friday! Be there!" She skipped off and you have no idea what just happened. You try to process the information, but as simple as it is, it sounds too complicated for you. You shrug it off and leave, not knowing her devious plan for you. (DUN DUN DUN!!!!) AJ walks in your direction after watching RD on her skateboard and you accidentally bump into her. "Woah! Hey, watch where ya goin' mist-" She realizes it's you. "Sorry AJ. I have a lot of things on my mind. My schoolwork, grades, tutoring Trixie, everything!" "Ah know how ya- Wait. Did you say tutoring Trixie?" "Yeah, I know right? But she seemed desperate for my help. I'm just glad after her grades go up I can stay away from her." "Ah'd watch ma back, if ah were you. She might be trickin' ya into liking her. She did that to Big Mac once, and it did not end well." "Don't worry your pretty little head, AJ. I'm not gullible for her little game." "Mhmm, we'll see about that. Where ya going anyway?" "Cafeteria. Gonna buy some food there. Care to join?" "Ah'd like that very much." What you both as well as the other girls didn't know was that you are VERY gullible.
