Cheerilee SL 1-8

	Social Link 1


You linger around after everyone hurries out of class.

Miss Cheerilee wears a professional demeanor up until the last student leaves the room. You watch her shoulders sag.

She plants her face on her desk and releases a long suffering sigh.

During class she was friendly, but strict. You noticed she always seemed a bit tense.


	Option 1) Ask her if she’s okay.

She flinches and looks up, surprised to see you’re still in class.

Cheerilee: “Oh! I didn’t see you there, and… yes, I’m fine, thank you for asking.”

She gives you a warm smile.


---

	Option 2) Gently tap her shoulder.

You quietly walk up to her desk and tap her on her shoulder.

Cheerilee shoots back up so fast she hits your hand.

She winces as she rubs the back of her head.

Cheerilee: “[Player!] I wasn’t aware you were still here.”

Cheerilee: “Is your hand alright? I didn’t hurt it now, did I?”

You assure her you’re hand is fine, and she relaxes.


---

	Option 3) Stay quiet.

Cheerilee: “And now I have [player] to worry about too…”

She raises her head and spots you.

The silence was deafening.

“O- oh, um!..”

Both of you fidget in place, trying to find something appropriate to say.

Cheerilee: “I meant I was worried for you, not because of you.”

She breaks eye contact straightens a few loose papers.

After composing herself, Cheerilee looks back at you.


---

Cheerilee: “I’m glad you’re still here, I was planning to have a talk with you soon anyway.”

She gestures for you to grab a chair. You oblige and sit down across from her desk.

Cheerilee: “How are you adjusting to your new school? Are there any subjects giving you trouble? Have you made any new friends yet?”


	Option 1) I’m having trouble catching up to the rest of the class."

Cheerilee: “I was worried that might be the case. I have a some free time, how about we go over what’s troubling you together?”

Cheerilee is patient, and makes sure to quiz you after going over the material. She congratulates you when get a question right, and tries to find the best way for you to learn the current subject.

You feel like you’ve gained a better understanding of your current schoolwork. (+Intel)

Cheerilee: “Great job [player]! Keep this up and you’ll catch up in no time.


---

	Option 2) "I haven’t really made any new friends yet."

Cheerilee: “Don’t worry, I know it must seem a bit intimidating at first. Most of the students already have tight knit friend groups.”

Cheerilee: “Fortunately, this school has a generous amount of clubs and afterschool activities. I have no doubt you’ll find a group that’ll make you feel at home.”

Cheerilee informs you on all the different school clubs and activities. She’s very thorough, giving you a good idea on what the mindset and atmosphere of each group is like.

Even if you don’t end up joining one, you feel like you know how to interact with your peers better. (+Charm)


---

	Option 3) "Of course not, everyone loves me!"

Cheerilee: “Well! I certainly can’t fault your confidence!”

She rolls her eyes as she chuckles.

Cheerilee: “A positive attitude helps you go far in life, but be careful not to go overboard alright?”

Cheerilee couldn’t help but smile as you flash her a cocky grin. (+Guts)

---

Cheerilee: “If you have any problems, come see me after class, alright?”

She pulls out a stack of papers and gets ready to grade them.

Cheerilee: “I expect to see you bright and early tomorrow.”

If Friday

Cheerilee: “I expect to see you bright and early Monday.”

You thank her for her time, and head out of the classroom.

Waiting for the class to clear out after the bell rings, you approach Miss Cheerilee’s desk.

Her eyes lighten up as she sees you approach, and she puts aside her papers.

Cheerilee: “[Player], how can I help you today?”

Before you can answer, a three harsh sounding knocks echo off the classroom door.

Cheerilee: “Wait here [Player], I think I know who that is…”

Cheerilee goes to answer the door. Another woman, presumably a teacher, stands in the entrance.

???: Miss Cheerilee, I just saw one of YOUR students, Crimson Napalm, make a very rude gesture towards a girl passing by in the hallway!

Cheerilee: “I’m very sorry Miss Harshwhinny, I’ll make sure to speak with him.”

Harshwhinny: See that you do. I will not tolerate this kind of behavior in our school.”

Without waiting for a reply, Harshwhinny turns to leave.

Cheerilee walks back to desk and falls into her chair. She groans, and buries her face into her hands.



	Option 1) "It’s not your fault."

Cheerilee: Oh, I’m not too upset over what happened, boys will be boys after all.

She straightens herself out and looks at you.

Cheerilee: Thank you though, it’s nice to get reassurance.

---


	Option 2) "I'm Lucky to be your student and not hers."

Cheerilee lowers her left hand and gives you a smirk, now resting her cheek against her right palm.

Cheerilee: “Careful, she’ll still lecture you for hours if you give her the chance.”

Cheerilee: “Unfortunately, even being a teacher won’t exclude you from her discipline.”


---


	Option 3) "Wow, what a total bitch."

Cheerilee: “Seriously…”

Her eyes snap up as she processes what you just said.

Cheerilee: “[Player]! Please refrain from using such inappropriate language!”

Cheerilee: “...I’ll let it slide this time, but there will be not be a strike two, understand?”

You nod, and she calms down.

---


Cheerilee: “I’ve only been here for a little over half a year, so Harshwhinny is especially hard on me. Sometimes I feel like-”

Cheerilee stops and clears her throat.

Cheerilee: “Oh, right! I apologize [Player], students shouldn’t worry about things like that.”

Cheerilee: “Harshwhinny and I don’t always see eye to eye, but she is a teacher/guidance counselor/whatever the dev wants her to be, so make sure you’re respectful to her.

Cheerilee: “As much as I love to get to know my students better, did you have a reason for staying after class? Is there anything I can do to help you?


	Option 1) As a student, I’d like to get to know my teacher better.

Cheerilee gives you a lighthearted scoff.

Cheerilee: “Cute [Player], I’m glad to have you around too.”

Cheerilee: “Consider bringing an apple into class next time. Take it from me, flattery will get you everywhere.”

---


	Option 2) "Could you explain to me what we covered in class again?"

Cheerilee: “I’m lucky to have such a studious student!”

Cheerilee: “Try not to spend all your time with me after class though, I want you to make some friends.”

Cheerilee: “Please don’t end up hiding away at the library, studying till evening. I already have enough trouble trying to get Twilight to leave it.”

Staring at you, Cheerilee gets a contemplative look on her face. You wonder if she’s waiting for you to pull out your schoolwork.

Cheerilee: “Oh, I apologize [Player], I had an idea just now. Getting back on topic…”

You go over what was covered in class with Cheerilee.

Unfortunately, she doesn’t have as much time as usual to cover everything. Every little bit helps though.

---


	Option 3) "Hey, new faces like us should stick together!"

Cheerilee gives you a sincere smile.

Cheerilee: “That’s very sweet of you [Player], but you don’t have to worry about me.”

Cheerilee: “I’m sure you can make far better friends than your teacher!”

She laughs it off, but you notice an extra pep in her movement now.

---


Cheerilee: “I’m afraid I have papers that need grading. Don’t be a stranger now!

Cheerilee sends you off with a happy wave. You can hear her humming to herself


	Social Link 3


As you’re getting ready to leave class, Cheerilee calls you over.

Cheerilee: “[Player]! I have a favor to ask.”

Cheerilee: “Do you happen to know of a girl named Twilight Sparkle? She spends most of her time in the library studying.”

Cheerilee: “I’m worried she’s pushing herself far too hard. Do you think you could spend the day with her?”

In an act that surprises you, Cheerilee flutters her eyelashes and gives you puppy eyes. You feel your heart stop for a second.


	Option 1) “I’ll do my best to get Twilight to relax.”

Cheerilee lets out a sigh of relief, but then fixes you with a glare.

Cheerilee: “You make sure to treat her right, okay? If I hear you did anything inappropriate…”

You start to speak up in defense, but Cheerilee giggles and motions for you to relax.

Cheerilee: “Don’t worry [Player], I know you’ll treat her right.”

She giggles again at your annoyed look, then composes herself.


	Alternate Option 1) “I’ve been on a date to Sugarcube Corner with her.” (Can only choose if you’ve reached Social Link 3 with Twilight.)

Cheerilee: “You two are dating?”

You inform Cheerilee it was the result of her kicking Twilight out of the library some time ago.

Cheerilee: “Oh! I had my hopes she would reach out towards others on that day but I didn’t really expect her to…”

Miss Cheerilee mutters to herself, she seems a little frustrated at first, but then blushes.

She clears her throat and gives you a professional looking smile.

Cheerilee: “You did what I asked before I even asked it, you did an amazing job [Player], well done!”

---


	Option 2) “Are you trying to set me up for a play date?”

Cheerilee: “Don’t look at it that way, this will be good for the both of you. It would only be once, please?

You sigh and nod. You’ve already spent the first day of school talking to Twilight anyway. Worst comes to worst you could just report back to her with that.

Cheerilee: “Please try your best to look at this as a positive experience [Player], Twilight really is a sweet girl.”

You give her a confidant thumbs up.

Cheerilee: “Much better! I say this frequently, but attitude is half the battle.”

---


	Option 3) “You’ve been pushing yourself pretty hard too.”

Your response takes Cheerilee off guard. She crosses her arms and frowns.

Cheerilee: “I’m a teacher [Player], you don’t have to worry about me.”

You remind her that teachers are humans too. She turns her head away and blushes.

Cheerilee: “...I’ll make sure to take that hot bath with sea salt I’ve wanted for a while tonight. Will you please help out now?”

You smile and nod.

---


Cheerilee: “Now that I’ve covered Twilight, how about you [Player]? Did you made any friends lately? Have any of the school clubs caught your interest?”

Cheerilee: “I hope you don’t plan to spend all year after school with your teacher.”

She says it in a scolding tone, but she has a smile on her face.


	Option 1) “I’ve been making friends with a lot of hot girls lately.”

Cheerilee looks shocked, then bops you on the head with a ruler.

Cheerilee: “No student of mine is going to graduate a womanizer!”

Cheerilee: “Do you want to have a problem? I’ll give you one if you misbehave!”

A little shocked by her threatening tone, you try to call out her bluff, informing her teachers can’t get violent with their students.

Cheerilee spins around and snatches a piece of chalk. Her hand whizzes across the blackboard, filling it with complicated equations from top to bottom.

You realize the what she meant by ‘problem’ now.

Cheerilee: “You will start at the top by solving for C, and you will not be leaving until every problem on this board has been solved!”

Cheerilee grills you, correcting and pushing you every step of the way. You struggle to answer every question as fast and efficiently as possible, but the pace she set you at is causing you to make obvious mistakes.

Realizing she’s hindering your process, Cheerilee focuses on actually teaching rather than punishing you, and soon the tense atmosphere is gone.

It takes you quite some time, but eventually you solve every answer on the board. You feel a mixture of relief and pride. (Intel+)

Cheerilee: Very good [Player]! I knew you could do it!

Looking at her beaming face, you can tell she really enjoys teaching others. Conveniently, it seems she forgot the reason why she even gave you the problems in the first place.

---


	Option 2) “Do you count?”

Cheerilee: “No, I don’t. A friend is someone who you spend time with, that cares for you. Someone that helps you when you’re in need and…”

Cheerilee trails off and looks a bit sheepish.

Cheerilee: “I know that’s what I’ve been doing for you, but I don’t count. I’m your teacher, I’m suppose to care for you.”

Cheerilee: “Please try to find someone your age to spend time with. I should not be your best friend.”

You point out she was the one you said you two were best friends, not her. She blushes.

Cheerilee: “Look, you can do a lot better than me, alright? Trust me, I’m sure a charming young man like you will have an easy time making friends.”

---


	Option 3) “We’re you in any clubs back in highschool?”

Cheerilee: “Of course! I was a cheerleader.”

Cheerilee begins to bob in place, pumping her arms to the left and right of her.

Cheerilee: “Gimme a ‘S’! Gimme an ‘E’! Gimme an ‘A’! Goooooo Sea Griffons!”

Cheerilee poses with her arms stretched out wide, a grin on her face.

Her face turns beet red as she remembers where she is.

Cheerilee: “As you can see, even a teacher like me took part in many different types of athletic activities. Even if you plan to pursue an academic career, don’t hesitate to try out a sport and see if you like it.”

You thank her for her advice, and she seems to regain her composure.

---


Cheerilee: “I appreciate you taking the time to speak with me [Player], please reflect on what we spoke about. I’m sure you’ll make the most of your school year while you’re here.”

You say goodbye and head towards the door out. Cheerilee starts grading the class’ homework with a newfound energy.


	Social Link 4


You approach Cheerilee, this time she seems too engrossed in her work to notice you.

After clearing your throat, she glances up with a tired smile.

Cheerilee: “Hello [Player], Are things between you and Twilight going well?”

You tell her that you’re both getting along fine.

Cheerilee: “What about yourself? Any problems?”

You shake your head.

Cheerilee: “That’s great to hear, I’m glad you’re adjusting to your new school life-”

Three harsh knocks rap on the door. Cheerilee winces.

Cheerilee: “One second…”

It’s Harshwhinny again, looking soaking wet, and more pissed off than before.

Harshwhinny: “Miss Cheerilee, one of your students delayed my entire study session by, lord knows how, feeding a firehose through a three story high open window and blasting my whole group!”

Cheerilee: “That’s-”

Harshwhinny: Disrespectful, cruel to her fellow schoolmates, and worst of all, completely unprofessional! I will arrange it so that we both sit this student down and properly discipline her!”

Cheerilee: “I understand Miss Harshwhinny, I promise it will be done.”

Harshwhinny: “I will personally make sure that it is!”

Miss Harshwhinny hurries away, grumbling to herself. A small pool of water remains at the entrance of the classroom.

Cheerilee sits back down in her seat, an absent minded look on face since she heard the details of the prank.

Cheerilee: “A fire hose, threaded all the way up and into a window on the third floor…”


	Option 1) “That’s pretty impressive.”

Cheerilee stares at you, doing her best to keep a straight face… before breaking into a grin.

Both of you share a light hearted laugh.

Cheerilee: “Yes, that is highly impressive. I’m happy to have so many creative and talented students.”

Cheerilee: “Unfortunately, I’ll have to try my best to direct such passion to a more healthy outlet.”

Cheerilee: “Perhaps I could talk you into befriending with the poor girl I’m going to have to strike fear into later?”

Cheerilee: “I’m sure she could use a good friend like you.”

You tell her you’ll consider it.

Cheerilee: “Thank you [Player].”

---


	Option 2) “That’s pretty terrible.”

Cheerilee: “Yes, it was very terrible.”

Cheerilee fixes you a stern look. Her face scrunches a little, trying it’s best to keep frowning.

Cheerilee: “I will have to see that this student is punished. No self respecting student would let-”

Cheerilee: “I- I meant, no self respecting teacher…”

Cheerilee breaks out into laughter.

Cheerilee: “Oh, I know it’s wrong, I’m sorry. It’s so very wrong, but just between us, it’s a little funny, isn’t it?..”

You try your best to keep a straight face, but Cheerilee’s knowing look makes you cave in. A big grin spreads over your face.

Cheerilee: “What that girl did was not good, and I will make that clear to her. Still, try to be nice to her afterwards [Player].

Cheerilee: “I don’t want any of my students to end up as a bully.”

---


	Option 3) “Harshwhinny looked hilarious!”

Cheerilee snorts and quickly covers her face. At a few seconds, she looks back up at you with a stern look.

Cheerilee: “[Player], you shouldn’t laugh at teachers like that.”

Her eyes flicker to the door, before leaning forward and beckoning you closer.

Cheerilee: “If you ever decide to prank Harshwhinny, I won’t tell if you don’t.”

Cheerilee: “Just make sure you don’t get caught, or else I’ll have spend all evening tutoring you as punishment.”

She winks at you and smiles.

Cheerilee: “We all know how much you hate spending your time with me after school.”

---


Cheerilee’s stretches out, covering her mouth as she yawns.

Cheerilee: “I’m a little jealous of Harshwhinny to be honest. I wish I was the one holding a study group to help students after school.”

Cheerilee: “I love helping others grow and learn, it’s why I became a teacher after all…”

You ask her why she hasn’t made a study group yet.

Cheerilee: “I’m afraid that if I do, Harshwhinny would see it as a challenge against her authority.”

Cheerilee: “That women has tenure, I don’t. I rather not push my luck.”

This is something important to Cheerilee, and you make that clear. There isn’t a better teacher suited for helping students who need a little extra attention and help.

Cheerilee: “Oh, that’s sweet of you to say…”

She was still unconvinced.


	Option 1) “It’d be a great way for students to make friends too.”

Cheerilee gives a wistful hum.

Cheerilee: “That would be killing two birds with one stone now wouldn’t it?”

Cheerilee: “Maybe I’d finally have a club I could get you to join. You keep spending all your time after school with me anyway.”

She cleans up her desk, then smiles at you.

---


	Option 2) “You keep pushing me to try new things, shouldn’t you set an example?”

Cheerilee: “Well yes, I… okay, you’ve got me there.”

Cheerilee: “I guess it’s only fair that if I keep pushing you, I should push myself as well.”

After taking a deep breath, she puts on a grim, but determined expression.

---


	Option 3) “Let’s be real here, what’s the worst that could actually happen?”

Cheerilee: “Harshwhinny could spend every day complaining about me, to the point the committee would have me fired just to get her to shut up.”

Cheerilee: “It’s far more likely they would transfer me to another school to avoid drama, but I don’t want to leave.”

Cheerilee: “It wouldn’t look good on paper that I was kicked out of a school before I finished one year. Besides…”

Cheerilee: “I like being here. I’ve become attached to my students.”

Yeah okay, that’s pretty bad.

Cheerilee stares at you, looking hesitant.

---


Cheerilee: “Alright, I’ll do it.”

Cheerilee: “Like you said, this is important to me. I want to help any student that needs it. Here’s hoping I don’t end up regretting this.”

Cheerilee: “Come on, I have people I need to speak with now and I have to lock up behind me.”

The two of you get up to leave, with Cheerilee taking the lead. She groans, rubbing her eyes as she heads for the door.

Her groan is cut off by a yelp as she slips on the puddle Harshwhinny left behind. Luckily, you were right behind her.

Catching her, you feel her plush rear press up against your crotch.

Cheerilee shoots back up onto her own feet, a rosy blush spreading over her face.

Cheerilee: “Thank you [Player]. It was rather unprofessional of Harshwhinny to leave that puddle behind…”

Sharing a small chuckle, Cheerilee locks the classroom door and you two go your separate ways.


Social Link 5


Cheerilee looked extremely nervous, she was in the middle of rechecking her notes for the third time before she noticed you were right in front of her.

Cheerilee: “[Player!] Do you need anything?”

You ask her about the study group.

Cheerilee: “Um, yes, that. The committee approved of my study group, and today is the first day I’ll be hosting it.”

She took a deep breath, held it, and slowly exhaled.

Cheerilee: “Will you be attending it?”

Shooting her a confident grin, you tell her that of course you’ll be attending.

Cheerilee: “Thank you [Player], I really appreciate your support.”

Cheerilee: “It’ll start soon, I should be there at least 15 minutes before it starts.”

The two of you exit the classroom and to the next floor up. Cheerilee stops outside the door to collect herself, and enters with a calm smile.

She pauses in the doorway, and you have to look over her shoulder to see what stopped her.

The room they assigned her was cluttered. Tables were pushed up against the wall. Some chairs were stacked, others just bunched up near each other. It must have not been used for quite a while, the air felt dusty.


	Option 1) Start cleaning the room.

You open a window to let the room air out. Cheerilee watches you grab a broom leaned against a wall. She quickly joins in by grabbing the tables and pushing them where she felt they would serve her best.

After a few minutes, a couple students walk in. Cheerilee doesn’t seem to notice, completely focused in beating the chalkboard erasers against each other to clean them out.

You finish putting the last few chairs in place, you hear a dainty sneeze, and turn to see Cheerilee sniffle, trying to rub the chalk dust out of her eyes.

Spying a carton she put on the teacher’s desk, you pull out a tissue and hand it to her. Cheerilee wipes off her face.

Cheerilee: “Thank you [Player]. The room should be ready now for…"

She notices the other students sitting down, clearing her throat, she walks up to the chalkboard.

---


	Option 2) “Completely unprofessional, just how we like it!”

Cheerilee breaks out into a fit of giggles.

Cheerilee: “Of course, we wouldn’t have it any other way, would we?”

Cheerilee: “Unfortunately, we’re going to have to clean this up for the other students, isn’t that a shame?”

The two of you get to work while making small talk. Occasionally a student walks in, and Cheerilee directs them to a chair.

Once the room is clean, she dusts herself off and walks up to the chalkboard.

---


	Option 3) “They could’ve given you a nicer room.”

Cheerilee: “After asking for my own study group? Keep in mind I’m a new teacher [Player].”

Cheerilee: “It was already generous that they gave me a classroom. They probably gave this room to me simply because they had no use for it at the time, but I’m still getting pretty lucky here.”

You ask her why they didn’t just let her use her own classroom.

Cheerilee: “This isn’t exactly a club, but it needs to be somewhat formal on paper.”

Cheerilee: “I can’t think of many students who would come here while I’m busy teaching class, but it’s required to have a location that’s accessible at all times. That means I can’t use my classroom.”

Cheerilee: “If you wanted to help another student who came here during lunchtime, I would be very pleased with you [Player].”

Cheerilee: “Speaking of students…”

The two of moved out of the way to let a student into the room.

Cheerilee: “Welcome to my study session! Please grab a chair and review your notes while I tidy this place up a bit.”

You and Cheerilee hurry to get the room as clean as possible while it fills with more students. Wiping her hands clean of dust, Cheerilee steps in front of the chalkboard.

---


You sit down between two other male students and wait for Cheerilee to start. Looking around, you notice almost all of the students here are male. Only one of them is female.

Cheerilee: “Hello class, my name is Miss Cheerilee, and I’m glad to see you’re all here!”

Cheerilee: “How about we all start with introducing ourselves and stating what subject we’re having trouble in?”

Cheerilee’s smile faltered as everyone stayed quiet. Deciding to take the initiative, you stand up.


	Option 1) “Hello, I’m [Player], and I hate math.”

This gets a smile out a few students. Cheerilee rolls her eyes, but seems relieved you started the process.

Cheerilee: “Thank you [Player].”

She writes down your name and subject on the chalkboard.

Cheerilee: “You, sitting to the left of him. Your name and subject please?”

---


	Option 2) “Hey there, I’m [Player], and the only reason I’m here is because I like Miss Cheerilee.”

You boldly keep your chest poised forward, the class staring at you in silence. Cheerilee is frozen in shock, her face beet red. The male student sitting to the left of you stands up.

Male Student: “Hell yeah man!”

The two of you hive five.

Cheerilee: “[Player]!!”

No regrets. (+Guts)

Male Student: “I’m here because science class is kicking my ass, but if I have to choose between Harshwhinny and Cheerilee, the choice is obvious, right?”

Most of the students speak up giving their general approval, including the female student.

Cheerilee: “N- no swearing on the school grounds! I won’t allow… I, I appreciate the support and approval, but…”

Cheerilee massages her forehead as the class collectively gives her cheeky grins. After a deep breath, she directly gives you a scowl before speaking up.

Cheerilee: “[Player] has generously donated his time here to helping out the other students, isn’t that right?”

You remain stone faced, nodding at her. She averts her eyes and grumbles.

Cheerilee: “Now, going to the left of him until we’ve covered everyone, your name and subject please.”

---


	Option 3) “Yo, I’m [Player], and I’m here because Harshwhinny’s crazy.

All the students break out into laughter.

Female Student: “I know, right? I totally blasted her whole stupid study session with a ice cold water from a fire hose!”

You thought she looked familiar, she was the girl from your class.

Female Student: “Next day history class moves on to a whole new subject and I’ve barely covered the last one! Good thing Cheers here made this group.”

Everyone breaks into another round of laughter. Students start talking to who was seated next to them about their own experiences involving Harshwhinny. You can feel a sense of solidarity from the class now.

Cheerilee: “All right now, settle down!”

Cheerilee points at the female student.

Cheerilee: “I thought we agreed you would not speak of that incident with the other students. More importantly, I also told you to stop calling me Cheers!”

Interesting order of priorities she has there.

Cheerilee sighs and points to the student left of you.

Cheerilee: “Name and subject please, we’ll go from the left of you until we cover everyone.”

---


You spend most of the study session helping students along with Miss Cheerilee. After spending so much time with her after class you didn’t really need to catch up on your schoolwork anyway.

Many of the students require different methods of teaching in order to fully grasp the subject. Forcing yourself to try new ways and being patient helped you to understand your fellow classmates better. (+Charm)

Before you know it, Cheerilee calls the session to an end. Most of the students leave satisfied, and the ones still having trouble tell Cheerilee they’ll be back the next day.

After everyone leaves, Cheerilee takes a deep breath, and then squeals in joy.

Cheerilee: “We did great! Thank you so much [Player]! I can’t believe how well that went for a first day!”

Before you can respond, Cheerilee wraps you in a bear hug, crushing you in her grip.

Cheerilee: “Thank you, thank y-”

Remember where she was and who you are, she lets go of you and starts twiddling her fingers.

Cheerilee: “Sorry [Player], that wasn’t very professional of me.”

Cheerilee: “Then again… we wouldn’t have gotten this far by respecting professionalism, would we?”

Cheerilee giggles to herself, and heads towards the door.

Cheerilee: “I’m sure I’ll see you next study session [Player].”

Cheerilee: “Don’t use this group as an excuse to not reach out towards the rest of the school! I want to end this year hearing about all the friends you’ve made!”

Both of you exchange goodbyes, and head your separate ways.


Social Link 6


Cheerilee gives you a big smile as you approach.

Cheerilee: “[Player], good to see you! Ready for another study session?”

You nod, and she giggles.

Cheerilee: “Wonderful! walk with me to the classroom, will you?”

The two of you have a pleasant chat as you head up to the study room. Upon entering, you find the room empty.

You help Cheerilee tidy up the place as usual, but nobody shows up when it’s time for the session to start.


	Option 1) “We’ll have to go out and find some students in need.”

Cheerilee laughs at that, and pats you on the shoulder.

Cheerilee: “Calm down now, we don’t need to go that far.”

Cheerilee: “I definitely appreciate your enthusiasm though, that’s the attitude of a winner!”

Cheerilee sits herself at the teacher’s desk and smirks at you.

Cheerilee: “Besides, I still have you here, don’t I?”

---


	Option 2) “I’m sorry, Miss Cheerilee.”

Cheerilee looks confused.

Cheerilee: “Sorry for what? That no one’s here?”

She giggles to herself.

Cheerilee: “The students who are interested in attending don’t have issues all year round. They finish what was giving them trouble and leave.”

Cheerilee: “They’ll be back when they need help again, this study room is like that. Students come here in waves, sometimes it’s full, sometimes it’s empty.”

Cheerilee: “It’s not a problem for me, I use to time to finish work I would be doing later in the evening.”

---


	Option 3) “Looks like it’ll be a one on one study session.”

Cheerilee: “You’re probably thrilled to have me all to yourself aren’t you?”

She gives you a stern, knowing look, before giggling.

Cheerilee: “You’re lucky you’re cute, you know that?”

Cheerilee: “I think you may gotten a little too attached to me, but I’m glad you’re the one who transferred here, [Player].

---


Cheerilee pulls out a few papers and starts grading them.

Cheerilee: “I’ve been worried that Harshwhinny would have given me trouble by now.”

Cheerilee: “She hasn’t even talked to me since the firehose incident. We pass by in the hallways and greet each other,  but that’s it.”

Cheerilee: “I’m really glad you talked me into doing this [Player], I think this is what I needed.”

Cheerilee: “So, how can I help you today? You have me for a whole hour.”


	Option 1) I could always use more help with my schoolwork.

Cheerilee: “Considering how much you’ve studied with me, I’m pretty sure you don’t, but…”

She clapped her hands together and grins.

Cheerilee: “Who am I to turn down a student wanting me to teach them?”

Cheerilee: “Why don’t you pull out all your schoolwork? We’ll brush up on every subject. Depending on how fast we go, you might be able to get a step ahead of the other students.

Cheerilee is familiar with your learning style, you two work together well. You’re able to cover a lot of ground within a short amount of time. This definitely helped you on multiple subjects. (+Intel)

Cheerilee: “Great job [Player], I’m very proud of you! Keep this up and you’ll be the top of your class!”

	Option 2) Why did you choose to work for Canterlot High?

Cheerilee: “I was a new teacher, and a lot younger than most of them. Not many schools needed a new teacher at the time.”

Cheerilee: “I was starting to think I wouldn’t be able to find work, when Principal Celestia contacted me.”

Cheerilee: “She was very understanding and kind to me. When I approached the committee to make the study group, Celestia was the one to back me up.”

Cheerilee: “From when I started to now, she’s only been supportive towards me, I owe her a lot of what I have now here…”

Her eyes became distant, she had a reverent look on her face.

Cheerilee: “I have a lot of respect for Principal Celestia.”

---


	Option 3) What do you do for fun?

Cheerilee: “That’s a bit of an odd question to ask. It’s also the exact opposite of studying.”

You tell her that she spends so much time worrying about the school and it’s students, you wonder if she has a hobby outside of class.

Cheerilee: “Of course I do, I’m not just a workaholic! I… I uh…”

She frowns, looking concerned. She takes a second to shuffle her papers and clear her throat.

Cheerilee: “I have a pet dog? I take him for a walk every night. I use that time usually to think about how I’m going to teach class tomorrow…”

She starts squirming in her seat.

Cheerilee: “I have hobbies, okay? They’ve just been put on hold ever since I’ve started working here.”

You point out that’s not very healthy.

Cheerilee: “I’m sure things will be back to normal soon, I just have to buckle down and focus for right now.”

That’s pretty hypocritical, coming from her.

---


You spend the last bit of the hour studying by yourself while Cheerilee graded papers.

You almost jump in surprise as you feel something pinching your cheek. Looking up, Cheerilee has grabbed it. She tugs on your cheek a couple times before letting go.

Cheerilee: “You didn’t respond when I called out your name, you must have been really focused! Keep up the good work [Player].”

Cheerilee: “The study session is over for today. Stay safe walking home!”

Cheerilee waves goodbye to you as she leaves. With nothing else to do, you pack up your things and head home.

It looks like Cheerilee has already headed out to the study session. You grab your things to catch up to her.

Making your way there, you enter a hallway and stop. Cheerilee is in the middle of a discussion with Harshwhinny. The two keep it brief, and Harshwhinny turns your way. She stops when she reaches you.

Harshwhinny: “[Player], here to attend Cheerilee’s study session?”

Her eyes narrow.

Harshwhinny: “No slacking off, understood? I hear you’ve been trailing Miss Cheerilee for a while, don’t use this as an excuse to try anything unprofessional towards her!”

A little taken aback, you assure her you’re doing your best.

Harshwhinny: “Good, I hope you chose to spend your time wisely.”

Harshwhinny grumbles as she walks away. With a sigh of relief, you continue down the hall. Miss Cheerilee is staring at the floor.


	Option 1) Wave your hand in front of her face.

You try waving your hand in front of her face, but she remains motionless.

After snapping your fingers and calling out to her, she mumbles, but stays still.

Not sure what else to do, you press your index finger against her nose.

Cheerilee: “Ah! Don’t boop me!”

Cheerilee flinches. After taking in her surroundings, she starts rubbing her nose.

“Thank you...”

Cheerilee opens the Study Room’s door and pauses, pouting at you.

Cheerilee: “Don’t boop my nose.”

She passes through the door before you can respond.

---


	Option 2) Squish her cheeks.

You gently press the tips of your fingers against her cheeks, making her face scrunch up in a silly, adorable manner.

It takes her a full three seconds to acknowledge this. She slowly turns her head and stares you in the eyes. Still somewhat out of it, she numbly raises her hands and squishes your cheeks back.

Both of you stand in silence, squishing each other cheeks.

Eventually, Cheerilee releases your cheeks and pushes you away.

Cheerilee: “I’m better now, thank you.”

With a focused look on her face, she opens the door to study session and heads inside.

---


	Option 3)  Pinch her butt

You take your index finger and thumb, and give her plush cheek a firm squeeze.

Cheerilee gives a sharp, high pitched squeal. She both tries to spin around and take a step forward in her shock. You feel her breasts press up against your chest as her eyes stare directly into yours. She scrambles back with a flustered expression.

Cheerilee: “Oh come on! Harshwhinny just scolded me about this!”

She crosses her arms gives you a pointed look.

Cheerilee: “Did you really just pinch my butt?”

Cheerilee glances down the hall behind you and sees a student approaching. She leans in and whispers in a somewhat silly tone,

Cheerilee: “You don’t remember aaanything. This neeever happened...”

Cheerilee maintains a stoic look and eye contact as she opens the door to the study. You two of you head inside.

---


There’s only a few students attending this time. You help the female student get a better understanding of her history assignment as Cheerilee works with the other students. Despite teaching with diligence, Cheerilee looks a bit distracted at times.

Once the session is over, Cheerilee sitting at her desk, deep in thought.



	Option 1.) Did Miss Harshwhinny threaten you?

Cheerilee: “What? No, no not at all. She… Well, maybe she’ll threaten me later tonight…”

Cheerilee giggles at your confused look.

Cheerilee: “I’m certain threats are a bit too barbaric by her standards. Perhaps giving me a ‘warning’ would be the right phrase.”


---


	Option 2.) Did Miss Harshwhinny flirt with you?

Cheerilee shudders.

Cheerilee: “No! She… I hope she isn’t. No, she wouldn’t. She is NOT flirting with me!”

It sounds like she’s trying to convince herself more than you.

---


	Option 3) Did Miss Harshwhinny lecture you?

Cheerilee rolls her eyes, then smiles at you.

Cheerilee: “Miss Harshwhinny always has a lecture in mind. The only time she doesn’t stop to correct me is when we nod towards each other in the hallways. “

Cheerilee: “Yes, she did give me a lecture earlier. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say she warned me.”

Cheerilee shoots you a coy smirk.

Cheerilee: “She said not to let that student of mine get too close just because he’s cute and helpful. It would be unprofessional if you had a crush on me and I strung you along.”

Cheerilee: “You should be proud of yourself, Harshwhinny indirectly called you cute and helpful.”

Cheerilee: “Although, that’s not the part that has me concerned…”

---


Cheerilee: “Miss Harshwhinny invited me out for a couple drinks after school today.”

Cheerilee gets up from her seat. After pulling out a chair nearby, she sits next to you at your desk.

Cheerilee: “I have no idea what’s going through her head. To be honest, I don’t even know if she meant alcohol...”

Cheerilee: “I’ve been doing well with this study group, if she tries to give me trouble over it, I won’t give it up so easily.”

Cheerilee pinches your cheek for a brief moment, before standing up and stretching.

Cheerilee: “I have to find Miss Harshwhinny. Be safe heading home, alright?”

You wish her luck as she leaves. With no one else here, you pack up your things and leave.

Miss Cheerilee seems full of energy. Being silent, you walk up behind her. She’s working on the homework your class just turned in.

Next to the graded homework is a paper jotted down with notes. You see Harshwhinny’s name on it multiple times.

She leans her head back, pushing it into your chest. Cheerilee stares up at you a mischievous smile.

Cheerilee: “Trying to sneak up on me?”

Cheerilee: “I think I’ve gotten too used to you staying behind after class, I can tell when you’re here or not without having to try.”

You back up, and Cheerilee spins her chair around.

Cheerilee: “You’ll never guess what happened with Miss Harshwhinny.”


	Option 1) She challenged you to a drinking contest?

Cheerilee: “How did you know?..”

Cheerilee crossed her arms and pouted.

Cheerilee: “That women can drink! I thought she was joking when she asked!”

Cheerilee: “I turned her down after I realized she was serious. A man challenged her after that and she drank him under the table. She didn’t even get tipsy!”

Cheerilee: “She’s something of a local undefeated champion, I would’ve never guessed.”

Cheerilee: “I don’t drink a lot at once even when I'm with others. My alcohol tolerance is a little low.”

---


	Option 2) She has terrible taste in alcohol?

Cheerilee flinched and licked her lips.

Cheerilee: “She likes sour drinks. I tried one of them and choked a little trying to swallow it.”

Cheerilee: “I have a bit of a sweet tooth, so I enjoy white wine.”

Cheerilee: “What kind of drinks do you like?”

Cheerilee keeps a relaxed smile on her lips as she squeezes her eyes shut. Her hands slowly rise up and cover her face.

Cheerilee: “I’m sorry, I forgot we’re in school. Glad I dismissed class already…”

---


	Option 3) She thinks you’re a great teacher?

Cheerilee blinked.

Cheerilee: “Yeah.”

She starts to squirm, looking impish.

Cheerilee: “I didn’t think I’d be this happy about it, but… Harshwhinny complimented me on my teaching skills.”

Cheerilee gives you a shy smile.

Cheerilee: “I really feel like I’m doing great here.”

She stands up, and wraps you in a gentle hug.

Cheerilee: “Thanks for sticking by me.”

---


Cheerilee: “[Player], I’ll be frank, the study group is no more.”

You look at her in shock.

Cheerilee: “...Because it’s getting fused with Harshwhinny’s group!”

You look at her in even more shock.

Cheerilee breaks into a fit of giggles.

Cheerilee: “Ha! I got you twice there! Your face was adorable!”

Cheerilee: “Harshwhinny asked me for advice on her to connect with her study group better. After swapping notes, she felt it would be best if we held a joint study group so she could observe how I teach.”

Cheerilee: I agreed to it, starting tomorrow our study groups will be fused.”


	Option 1) Is that what you want?

Cheerilee hesitates before answering,

Cheerilee: “I’m uncomfortable with it, but I want to help Harshwhinny.”

Cheerilee: “I didn’t come here to help other teachers, but that didn’t stop you from helping me did it?”

Cheerilee sticks her tongue out at you.

Cheerilee: “I don’t know if this is going to work out, but I’m going to have faith.”

---


	Option 2) Are you sure you both won’t drive each other nuts?

Cheerilee: Well, it’s true Harshwhinny gets mad whenever anything isn’t by the book, but…”

She shoots you a naughty grin.

Cheerilee: “The terms we agreed to was that I teach, and she’d follow my lead. If she gives me any lip, we’ll have a talk about her professionalism.”

You chuckle at this, and Cheerilee pats you on the cheek.

Cheerilee: “You served me well my minion! Now the school is in the palm of our hands!”

Cheerilee throws her head back and gives a fake evil laugh.

---


	Option 3) So the study session is going to suck now?

Cheerilee bops you on the head with a ruler.

Cheerilee: “Don’t be mean now, Harshwhinny is much more sensitive than I thought.”

Cheerilee lowers her head and looks up at you with puppy eyes.

Cheerilee: “Besides, how could the study session suck when your favorite teacher is running it?”

---


Cheerilee becomes quiet as she goes back to grading papers.

Cheerilee: “[Player], with Harshwhinny working together with me, I’m afraid I can’t have you helping me so actively.”

Cheerilee: “Please, if you have any questions, need any help, or just want to talk…”


Cheerilee trails off, muttering under her breath.

Cheerilee: “Sorry about that! You can always come to me if you need help, but [Player], do make time for friends, alright?”

You assure her you'll be fine, and ask if she's going to be alright.

Cheerilee: “Of course I will. Take care, stay in touch.”

Cheerilee looks troubled as you grab your things and leave the classroom.
