"Oh Rarity, this is just not working out!" exclaimed a panicked Fluttershy.
"What's not working out?" said Rarity, too focused on her work to give her full attention to her friend.
"Me and Thunderlane!" answered Fluttershy. "It is just not working out at all."
Rarity stopped what she was doing. "Don't you normally talk about these things with your cousin Joy Stick?"
"I was...but he's over at Dash's house right now...having fun" she yellow pegasus blushed.
The unicorn gave a frustrated sigh. "Darling, I am flattered that you went to me to talk about this...but I am busy filling out this order for Sapphire Shore's upcoming tour, she wants these costumes to be so good that it will make her exclaim 'damn girl' when she sees it" she explained. "Or at least that's what she told me...between you and me, I think she talks...odd."
"Oh Rarity! I need your help!" pleaded the pegasus.
"Well," began Rarity. "what seems to be the trouble between you and Thunderlane?"
"Well..."
Fluttershy was bored as she sat next to Thunderlane who was busy playing video games.
"So...are we going to cuddle or not? No rush or anything, just wanted to know." she asked.
"After this level!" he responded without taking his eyes off the screen.
---
Both Thunderlane and Fluttershy walked into a restaurant for their date. The black pegasus happily walked in first, he didn't bother leaving the door open for his marefriend.
It just caused Fluttershy to accidentally hit her face hard again the door. "OOF!"
---
Thunderlane and Fluttershy were happily kissing each other at Fluttershy's cottage. It starts out normally but then, the stallion started going to far and he pinned his marefriend to the couch, sloppily making-out with her. The yellow pegasus did not like that at all.
"Wait...I'm not ready!" she protested.
"Well I am." said the stallion as he smirked, his hoof snaked its way to its goal but Fluttershy bucked him off hard just in the nick of time.
Thunderlane was dazed on the floor. "Sorry." he said.
"Wait...he almost-"
"Hoofed me...yes..." Fluttershy found it to embarrassing to talk about at the moment.
"That is so un-gentlecolt of him...everyone knows that it is the mare that directs the show during intimate moments." Rarity stated, slightly disgusted from what she heard.
"So...you see my problem?"
"He doesn't pay attention to you, but when he does, he goes to far...yeah...I dated a stallion like that."
"So you can help me?" smiled Fluttershy, hoping that Rarity would.
"Of course I will...anything for a friend." assured the unicorn as she smiled.
Rock
You are a rock
Gray
You are gray
Because you are a rock

"Wow...that's deep." responded a stallion who was pulling his cart as he listened to his latest passenger's poem.
"Thanks," said the passenger without any hint of emotion. "I wrote thousands of poems about rocks."
"Prolific huh?"
"I have a lot of free time." she said, dry.
The cart soon arrived at its destination, Ponyville. "Here we are ma'am, Ponyville."
"Thanks." she said as she trotted into town.
The gray colored, emotionless mare trotted down the main street, focused on reaching her destination. But she kind of had trouble finding it. "Hmmm...." looks around for a pony to ask for directions.
"Need help ma'am?" asked a deep voice.
The mare turned around to see a large crimson stallion in front of her, she was in complete awe, but it didn't show on her face. "I was just wondering if you could direct me to my destination."
"Eeyup. Where are ya goin'?"
"To your local bakery called 'Sugarcube Corner'." she responded.
"Ah...it's right down the street on yer left side, ya can't miss it." the stallion directed.
"Thank you sir, I appreciate your help...what is your name by the way?" she asked.
"MacIntosh Apple...but ya can call me 'Big Mac'." answered the crimson stallion.
"Ah...well my name is Maude." she answered back. "Do you like rocks?"
Mac just shrugged his shoulders.
"Well it was nice meeting with you, but I must go, see you later." she dryly stated before she trotted away.
"Eeyup."
Maude made her way to Sugarcube Corner, but she couldn't help but be in awe. "He's very attractive and muscular, must have very good genetics, I must ask my sister Pinkie for more information on him."
At a cafe that Maude passed by, Cheerilee calmly drank her traditional after school tea, she let the stress of the long and busy school day melt away.
"Oh, there you are Cheerilee." exclaimed Twilight as she trotted up to her table.
"Why Twilight," the purple mare was surprised to see Twilight. "what brings you here?"
"Just came by to return the astronomy book you let me borrow to you." explained the lavender unicorn.
"I said you can keep it as long as you want Twilight."
"I know...but it didn't feel right to just keep it." she gave Cheerilee the book.
"Thank you."
"Oh, and I also made a few annotations in the pages where I see it."
Cheerilee flipped through the book to see a lot of notes and corrections written on the margins in red ink. "You did all of that in a single night?"
"Uh...couldn't help it." sheepishly grinned Twilight.
"Maybe that could be of some help to me."
"What do you mean?" Twilight was confused.
"How would like to help me correct and grade all of the classwork tonight? I have a large backlog of stuff to go over and I thought since I helped you, it only seems fair that you help me?"
"Why, I would be glad to help out in anyway I could." smiled Twilight in agreement.
"Really?"
"My nights are usually free for studying, so I can find plenty of time to help out."
Cheerilee breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks for being such help Twilight, it's kind of hard to find such good friends these days."
"Not a problem," nodded the unicorn. "anyways, I better get going and finish my errands for the day, see you tonight!" Twilight waved goodbye and trotted away.
"The same!" cheerfully exclaimed Cheerilee, happy to have someone to talk to again.
