I woke up feeling completely exhausted, and I look over to see Korona sleeping next to me. Giving her a light kiss on the forehead, I look at my clock which said it was only twenty past five. It was still a few hours before our first day of class actually started, but knowing I couldn't sleep I got managed to get out of my bed, undoing the sound barrier spell.
I gave a big yawn as I left my room, and started towards the kitchen which seemed to be spotless, just like the rest of the apartment I just walked through. I shrugged it off as Pinkie getting some help or something last night. Once again I gave a big yawn, and think about why I couldn't sleep,and that's mostly because I felt guilty about leaving my new roommate with clean up duty, even if I didn't actually expect her to clean up.
"Now let's see what I could make," I said as I open the fridge and seeing that it was actually still stocked with fresh food. "Wow, wonder if she gave away the left overs to the guest?"
Once I got all the ingredients I started to cook, knowing that I still had at least an hour before my alarm went off and I doubt Pinkie would be in bed for long. So I choose a breakfast that would take a little bit to actually cook, and in so doing I couldn't help but think about last night. It made me feel kind of like a hypocrite with what I said to that Dash girl, and what I did with Korona.
The only thing that made me feel better about it was that Korona was actually an old friend and offered an actual relationship, and not one based off of sex. That was definitely a no in my books if someone just up and offered it like that, at least with Korona we had a nice starting kiss, even if it was forced. I couldn't shake the smile on my face from that.
"Well, it seems somepony enjoyed the party last night." I turn to see Pinkie standing there with a big tired smile herself.
"Yeah, the party was great but I kind of left a little early," I said, wanting to kick myself knowing that doesn't really make sense seeing as how it was in our apartment.
"I know what you mean, I saw you and Korona head towards your room. Though, why not just do it with Dashie when she offered?" The pink mare asked, walking up to the stove and smelled what I was cooking. "Smells pretty good by the way, what is it though?"
"First, the reason why I didn't take Dash up on her offer was because she wanted a one night stand, not a relationship. Also, I know Korona from a few years ago. I actually had a crush on her, and I guess collage gave me a second chance at an old crush. Second, that's a Crystal Empire dish that was taught to me by a professinal. It's his own special and secret recipe that I managed to figure out, and so he taught me and I even added my own personal touch to it." I answer, seeing her slightly deflate at the mention of what her friend offered and perked back up by the end.
"So, you and Korona knew each other?" Pinkie asked, popping up right in front of me making me back away feeling uncomfortable.
"Yeah, that's what I just said. Though we only knew each other for a semester in High School before she had to move because of her mothers business." I replied, going back to what I was cooking trying to ignore her being this close.
"Well, I'm sorry for what Dashie did. She has a bit of a problem with drinking, she even once ate dirt because her Apple Cider spilled all over the ground," Pinkie said, and I could hear that she did actually feel sorry.
"It wasn't your fault, and I already told her I would chalk it up to her being drunk." I said, and hearing my alarm start to go off. "And there's my alarm clock."
"Oh, that reminds me. Did you have fun with Korona?" The pink mare asked, making me roll my eyes.
"Of course we had some good fun last night," I turn to see Korona drag herself to the table giving me a tired smile. "It was the most fun I had. But, what's for breakfast?"
"Brandon wouldn't tell me what exactly it was, but it smells so very good! I just hope there's plenty for seconds!" Pinkie said, sitting down looking at the zebra mare next to her.
"Oh, trust me I don't think Brandon is that hungry after all the eating he did last night." That was when they noticed that I suddenly disappeared, though they could see the spoon I was using still floating there frozen. "I think I may have gone a little too far with that joke."
"Yup, seems like it. I wonder how long he's gonna stay that way?" Pinkie asked, giving the floating spoon another glance.
"Not for long," Korona said, getting up and walking over to him, managing to wrap him in one of her hooves and using the other to press into my back gently.
"Ohhh.." I let out, turning viable again though completely red and still un-moving.
"What did you do?" Pinkie asked, giggling a little.
"Just a little sensitive spot he has, but I'm afraid that's all I can say." Korona answered, giving him a light peck on the cheek. "Now, you might want to check on your food before it burns."
I quickly glance at her, and see the apology in her eyes making me nod my head and got back to cooking. Though I wasn't too keen on talking with either of them again for a little bit, and instead somewhat listened to what they were talking about. But it didn't take long before the food was done, and I made myself a plate, though as I sat down Pinkie walked past accidentally bumping into me making her tail brush against my side.
Though I decided to ignore it and just start to eat, which it didn't take long before the two mares sat down and started eating as well. I smiled at Korona who gave me a wink in return. My smile grew as she jumped in surprise, and I could feel her glare as I ate my food and Pinkie wasn't even paying attention to what happened.
"Mmmm, this is yummy! We should have this for breakfast every morning!" Pinkie said, releasing a belch. "Excuse me."
"So Pinkie, what are you majoring in?" Korona asked, taking a bite.
"Oh, I'm majoring in Physics!" I look at the pink mare in surprise. "What? I love physics, and I don't even know what you're majoring in."
"You haven't told your own roommate what your major is?" Korona asked, giving me a disappointed look.
"Nope, and just like what my cutie mark represents, it's none of her business right now," I said, and feeling a kick from under the table. "Ow! Okay, fine I'm majoring Astronomy, but I am not going to tell you what my cutie mark represents until you've earned my trust a bit more."
"That's fine, I just wanted to know what you were studying in! So, you're studying in geology right?" Pinkie asked Korona.
"Yes, I just find the study of it actually interesting," Korona replied.
"That's funny, you and my older sister would get along great!" Pinkie said, giggling at what I imagine was her imagining what that would be like.
"Well, I don't know about you two but I have to get to class. Wouldn't want to be late for the first day, even if it is boring." I mutter as I put my bowl and plate in the sink.
"Okie-dokie lokie! See you late roomie!" Pinkie said, waving at me from across the table.
"And I'll see you at four, at that little restaurant right?" Korona asked.
"Yeah, the one on Arrow Street," I answer putting my hand on her head and gave her ear a pinch. "That was for kicking me."
"Hmmph, fair enough," Korona said rubbing her ear.
"Wait, you two are heading into town later?" Pinkie asked.
"Um, yeah why?" I ask.
"Because your friend Georgie wanted to stop by about the same time to tell you something." Pinkie replied.
"Well, it's fine with me if we go a little later. Besides, I want to talk to Georgie again. Its been awhile." Korona said, making me nod my head.
"Great, now all we need is Divey and we'll be a full gang again," I joke.
"Yeah, I remember Divey. What happened to him?" Korona asked.
"He decided to go ahead and follow his dad's footsteps into being a professional runner." I answer.
"Really, and how's that coming along?" Korona asked.
"Don't know, after a little while he just disappeared and the only two left in our group was me and Georgie again." I said.
"Aww, that's so sad," Pinkie suddenly jumped in blowing her nose for some reason.
"How is that sad?" I ask.
"Your group of friends lost contact with each other, except two of you. I don't know what I would do if I lost any of my friends." Pinkie said.
"Well, that's only because I knew Georgie since I was pretty much born. Our group only came to be in high school, and only at most for a year." I said.
"Brandon, don't you have class to worry about right now?" Korona asked, making me look at the clock and my eyes widen.
"Shoot, no time. I'll talk to you guys later," I said giving a peck to Korona and in a flash of blue light I was gone.
"Wow, he even knows how to teleport? I thought Twilight was the only one who could do that!" Pinkie said in surprise.
"He is very good at magic, in fact that's apart of his special talent. Though teleporting is something new to me as well, maybe that's who he learnt it from." Korona said.
"What do you mean? His special talent is magic just like Twilight's?" Pinkie asked.
"No, not necessarily. He is more limited in the magic field than her, but before I go on how much do you know about his kinds cutie marks?" Korona asked.
"You mean Wizards?" Pinkie replied.
"Wizards, Angels, and Centaurs, any of them really." Korona said.
"Nothing much really, I only just found out that they had cutie marks. I mean Wizards and Angels." Pinkie said.
"Well, like pony cutie marks their's are complicated. They can have more than one meaning to them, for Brandon part of his cutie marks meaning is magic. Though if you ask him to do a enchantment, he would have trouble with it. As far as I know, he could only do some of the most basic of enchantments. As for it's other meaning, that's something you'll have to take up with him. But I have to go, I guess I'll see you later today." Korona said, heading out the door.
"Hmm, I wonder what he actually see's in her?" Pinkie asked, shrugging before putting the dishes away completely dry and clean.
