  57. "A letter? That's weird...it's from Canterlot!"
  58. >You open the envelope and read its content.
  59. >"Dear Nonny.
  60. >I hope you are doing fine. The reason I'm writing this is because I'm organizing a high school reunion and you were the last on my list. Boy were you hard to find! Everybody we met is coming! Aren't you excited?! I haven't seen you in like, 10 years...please come over, it won't be the same without you! - Pinkie Pie."

  65. >You let out a content sigh.
  66. >"You look happy there eh Anon?"
  67. "Yeah...it's been so long."
  68. >You look at the invitation.
  69. "The party's tomorrow?! What the hell?! Why would the invitation arrive this late?"
  70. >Grace lets out nervous chuckle.
  71. "It did arrive today right Grace?"
  72. >"Sorry boss...it arrived a week ago, but I forgot to give it to you!"
  73. "Grace...ugh, nevermind. I guess I have plenty of time to get to Canterlot."
  74. >"Oh, so you're going then!"
  75. "Yeah, I mean...even if I wasn't popular at all I had good friends that I've lost touch with. I wonder what happened to them...there was also a girl I liked, her name is-"

  83. G. Sunset Shimmer
  84.  
  85. "-Sunset Shimmer, she was so nice and cute...we got along together real fine, but eh- I never worked up enough courage to ask her out and I hate myself over that."
  86. >"Come on now Anon, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"
  87. "I guess I am, but I'm not sure what would've happened if I asked her out. And I don't want to think about it, it would've been embarrassing."
  88. >"And what about your other classmates?"
  89. "Ah, well...I had friends and she had her own friends, they were pretty chill and cute too. There was this girl named Rainbow Dash, she was a bit of a tomboy, but a real cute one. Even though she called me an egghead from time to time and played harmless pranks on me, she was a good friend overall."
  90. >Grace giggles.
  91. "Another friend of Sunset Shimmer was Applejack, a sweet country girl that I had the pleasure to tutor when she couldn't understand math or physics problems. Her family was also nice to me, she invited me over to her place so many times to help her and then she and her grandmother would make dinner for me."
  92. >"See? Being a braniac has its perks don't you think?"
  93. "Yeah, I guess...you know, just when I get out of work I'll drive to my place immediately to pack my bags and get to Canterlot as soon as I can."
  94. >"Cool, but firstly, remember that we got work to do okay, Mr. Bergenstein won't like to see you out of the production line."
  95. "Yeah yeah, see ya later Grace. Remember to send HR the reports of yesterday's batch."
  96. >"Ah! Don't forget! The german investors will be here today, you need to be in the conference room so they can discuss the newest EMP design."
  97. "Sure Grace, don't worry about it."
  98.  
  99. >You are running some quality control tests to make sure this batch of EMPs work well.
  100. >The devices are doing well just as always, but your mind is elsewhere...
  101. >Applejack...what a beautiful girl.
  102. >Perfect body, lovely hair, cute voice.
  103. >["Here you go sugarcube! The apple pie I promised you, take it as a thank you for your patience.]
  104. >And Rainbow Dash.
  105. >Talented, fit, and fun to hang with.
  106. >["Hey egghead, let's race to the Sugarcube Corner! The last one to arrive pays the bill!]
  107. >Of course you always paid.
  108. >She was the fastest girl in school.
  109. >Sugarcube Corner...
  110. >It was the place to go for your classmates and friends after school.
  111. >You are getting more and more excited by the idea of meeting the girls.
  112. >You only hope that they aren't married or engaged.
  113. >Canterlot's five hours away by car.
  114. >After work you'll organize your stuff back home, grab a few things and pack them, ask your neighbor to take care of Rover and then fly to Canterlot.
  115. >Easy plan.
  116. >"Boss!"
  117. "Agh!"
  118. >"You okay boss?"
  119. "I'm fine Steel Valve...what is it?"
  120. >"Your supervisor wants to see you, he asked you to be in the Conference room. Apparently the Germans want to buy many EMP units!"
  121. "What? Seriously?!"
  122. >Your workers start clapping and giving you pats in the back.
  123. >"Yeah, they want to meet you."
  124. "I'll be there in no time."
  125. >Oh boy, this is big!
  126.  
  127. >Minutes later.
  128. >The conference room goes dark.
  129. >A projection starts.
  130. >[YouTube] NFS Hot Pursuit : EMP Upgrade level 3
  131. >It seems that the company made a video of your EMP design.
  132. >God, it was a stressful month, but your work speaks for itself.
  133. >The video ends.
  134. >"Herr Anonymous right?” A German engineer approaches you, “I must congratulate you, we've tested your equipment in Europe and ze results are wunderbar. We're buying a thousand units."
  135. "We're glad you liked it. We'll start making them immediately."
  136. >As if this day couldn't get any better.
  137.  
  138. >The day ends.
  139. >You got a raise and a promotion.
  140. >As you walk to the parking lot, your coworkers approach you.
  141. >"Heeey Anon! Congratulations!"
  142. >"Congrats man! Let's celebrate! That strip club it's not that far away. Let's get drunk and stare at some bitches!"
  143. >You have a schedule.
  144. >A pretty tight one.
  145. "I can't go guys, I have plans that came up today."
  146. >"Ooohh, now that you got promoted means that you're too much of a hotshot to hang out with us right?"
  147. "Nah, it's not that...I'm going on a trip tomorrow's morning. And I need to rest well."
  148. >"Oh, where are you going?"
  149. "Canterlot."
  150. >"That place is five hours away...you plan to drive there?"
  151. >You shake your head.
  152. “Nah, I’ll just get there by plane. See you guys next Monday!”
  153. >"It's okay Anon, more tits for us! I only hope you're leaving for an important reason."
  154. "Oh, it's important alright, have fun you guys."
  155. >They all leave in their nice looking cars.
  156. >You get in yours and drive back to your home.
  157.  
  158. >When you arrive, you knock on your neighbors' door and ask her to take care of Rover, because you are going on a trip, just for a couple of days.
  159. >Thankfully she accepted.
  160. >You enter your house and give Rover some food, and then prepare a complete meal for yourself.
  161. >Soup and breaded chicken with chips.
  162. >When you finish, you wash the dishes and go upstairs to prepare your bags.
  163. >You pack a suit and your favorite shoes.
  164. >Stuff for your personal hygiene.
  165. >And underwear.
  166. >Your bag feels a bit light, but it's not like you're going away for an entire week.
  167. >You look at the clock.
  168. >19:00.
  169. >You grab your bag and quickly exit the house.
  170. >Your neighbor waves at you and you place your bag in the trunk.
  171. >Afterwards, you get in your car, turn on the engine and the radio and carefully drive to the airfield.
  172. >Since Seacrest County doesn’t have an airport of its own, you’ll have to get to Canterlot in one of those old planes.
  173. >As you drive your BWM, your thoughts are invaded by the memories of your High School years
  174. >...
  175. >["Hey dude! Wanna play some soccer? I’ll let you win this time"]
  176. [“Really?”]
  177. >[“Nah! I’m gonna whoop your butt once again, same bet as always?”]
  178. >…
  179. >["Hey sugarcube! Wanna come over to my house? Ah really need a hand with math."]
  180. >["Thanks a lot sugarcube! You're such a sweet boy~"]
  181. >...
  182. >["Anon! Come sit with us!"]
  183. >["Hey Egghead!"]
  184. >["Howdy Sugarcube!"]
  185. >...
  186. >Yeah. Life was awesome.
  187.  
  188. >You miss your friends.
  189. >Your male friends were cool as well.
  190. >But not as great as the girls that made High School real interesting for you.
  191. >You wonder if the others will come to the party as well.
  192. >Sonata Dusk, Adagio Dazzle, Bon Bon, Bulk Biceps, Atomic Adam.
  193. >Girls and guys alike, they made Canterlot High fun.
  194. >You let out a sigh.
  195. >[YouTube] Grand Theft Auto [GTA] V - Bury The Hatchet (Ludendorff) Mission Music Theme
  196. >But there is a girl that probably won’t be too happy to see you again.
  197. >Twilight Sparkle.
  198. >You and Twilight attended the same university after you all graduated from High School.
  199. >She was your best friend back in college, and you made her hate you.
  200. >Why did you do it?
  201. >You don’t know if Twilight told her friends about what you tried to do that night six years ago, but if she did, your friends will end up hating you.
  202. >You shake your head feeling ashamed of yourself and keep driving.
  203. >Once you arrive to Seacrest County’s airfield, you store your BMW inside a garage and pay the fee.
  204. >You take out your bag from the trunk and head to the small plane.
  205. >Luckily you bought the last ticket to Canterlot for today’s last flight.
  206. >In a matter of minutes, you’ll return to your hometown.
  207.  
  208. Minutes later.
  209. >The plane lands in Canterlot’s airport.
  210. >You hail a taxi and ask the driver to take you to your mother’s home.
  211. >She’ll be surprised to see that you’re back.
  212. >The driver drops you off in the street you grew up.
  213. “Canterlot…home, or at least it was before I fucked everything up.”
  214. >You take out your bag out of the taxi’s trunk and knock on the door.
  215. >[“Who is it?”] A voice is heard behind the door.
  216. “It’s me mom…”
  217. >The door opens before you.
  218. >”Sweetie! What a surprise!” Your mom happily says before giving you a hug and a kiss.
  219. “Hey mom…”
  220. >You hug her back before entering to your old home.
  221. >Your mother closes the door behind you.
  222. >”What are you doing here sweetie? Don’t you have work tomorrow? You didn’t get fired did you?!”
  223. “No mom, I’m free this weekend. And I uh…got something in the mail,” you say as you hand your mother the letter Pinkie Pie sent you.
  224. >Your mother puts on her glasses and reads the contents of the letter.
  225. >”A High School Reunion? How wonderful! You’ll get to see your friends again…”
  226. >You smile.
  227. “I know, I’m looking forward to it.”
  228. >”Tomorrow at night, well…why don’t you rest up a bit and tell me everything tomorrow’s morning okay?”
  229. “Sounds great mom. I’m kind of tired after all…”
  230.  
  231. >The next morning.
  232. > [YouTube] "Deep Cover" - Sun Araw (Hotline Miami OST)
  233. >Your mother prepared you some pancakes for breakfast.
  234. >”So Anon? How have you been?”
  235. “Fine mom, I think…I didn’t get much sleep last night.”
  236. >”Feeling nervous about something?”
  237. >You nod.
  238. “Yeah, I don’t know if I should attend to the reunion…it’s been so long.”
  239. >Your mother laughs.
  240. >”You worry too much sweetie, but you’ve always been like that.”
  241. >You remain silent and keep eating your pancakes.
  242. >They as just as good as when you were a kid.
  243. >”Is it about that Twilight girl?”
  244. >You smile a bit.
  245. “How did you know?”
  246. >”Oh Anon, I’m your mother. How wouldn’t I know what troubles a piece of my flesh and blood?”
  247. >You let out a sigh.
  248. “I didn’t mean to make her mad at me mom, I swear.”
  249. >”I know sweetie, I know…if you see her at the reunion don’t bring it up, that happened six years ago.”
  250. >You finish eating your pancakes.
  251. >”I bet she probably forgot about it, and who knows? Maybe she’s got over it already.”
  252. “I hope…”
  253. >Your mother caresses your cheek.
  254. >”I haven’t heard anything from her either…nor your old friends. I wonder what happened to them.”
  255. “I guess we’ll find out after I get back from the reunion. I wonder how none of them tried to contact me after we got out of High School, perhaps I wasn’t a good friend to them?”
  256. >Your mother lets out a sigh.
  257. >”No son, don’t start with the negative thoughts, they were probably busy and carried on with their lives, just like you did.”
  258. “I guess…you know what mom? I can’t wait any longer, I must go to school right now.”
  259. >”Go ahead son, don’t forget to put on a sweater, it’s cold outside.”
  260. “Oh mom…”
  261.  
  262. >[YouTube] Hotline Miami 2 OST: Magic Sword - The Way Home
  263. >Minutes later.
  264. >There it is…
  265. >Your former High School, looking as bright as it ever was.
  266. >You see a banner hanging on the main door.
  267. >It reads: [TONIGHT HIGH SCHOOL REUNION CLASS of 2016!]
  268. >You can’t believe ten years have passed.
  269. >Surprisingly, the main door is open.
  270. >You walk inside the building.
  271. >Lots of memories rush through your mind.
  272. >You let out a content sigh.
  273. >You recall the first time some bullies were picking on you.
  274. >[“HEY! LEAVE HIM ALONE!”]
  275. >Rainbow Dash came to your rescue.
  276. >Why? You don’t know why.
  277. >She thought you were cool, even if you were nothing but a pushover and an egghead.
  278. >She’s always been like that, loyal to her friends.
  279. >You wonder what happened to her.
  280. >When you got in college, you just lost contact with her and with the rest of your friends.
  281. >You spot your old locker.
  282. “...What the hell happened?”
  283. >It probably belongs to an edgy teen now, because it has many weird engravings and red paint all over it.
  284. >[“Wait wait wait…not there honey! Just a little more to the left.”]
  285. >Huh?
  286. >That voice came from the gym.
  287. >[“Perfect!”]
  288. >It belongs to…
  289. >You open the gym’s door and walk inside.
  290. >A familiar figure spots you.
  291. >“NONNY?!”
  292. “Pinkie!”
  293. >[YouTube] Surgeon Simulator 2013 OST - Take A Number (Main Menu Theme)
  294. >Pinkie Pie stops holding the step ladder and rushes to hug you.
  295. >The step ladder falls on the ground, leaving a man hanging on the banner he just nailed to the wall.
  296. >“WHOA DEAR! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!”
  297. >”Ahahaha! Nonny! You actually came! Look who came to party with us dear!”
  298. >“HELP!” The guy yells as he almost loses his grip on the banner.
  299. >”Whoopsie! Sorry dear!”
  300. >You help Pinkie Pie set the step ladder to help the guy down.
  301. >”Thanks…”
  302. >You recognize that voice.
  303. “Cheese Sandwich?”
  304. >”In person! Whoa, you’ve changed Anon!”
  305. >You laugh.
  306. “Me? What about yourself? Man you got even taller than you were before…”
  307. >He lets out a chuckle.
  308.  
  309. “It’s so good to see you two, I’m guessing you two are in charge of the reunion right?”
  310. >”That’s right!” Pinkie replies, “we were just about to finish placing the decorations on the walls, next up is the food and finally the music. It’s going to be a jam.”
  311. >”Yeah man!” Cheese Sandwich says, “and we are surprised…we thought you wouldn’t attend.”
  312. >”Yeah…what’s up with that Nonny? ”
  313. “Well, I had to deal with hard stuff after I got out of college, but now I work and live far away. In fact I haven’t set foot in Canterlot for six years.”
  314. >”Sheesh man, what happened?” Cheese Sandwich asks.
  315. >”Seacrest County…that’s a place I’ve never heard of Nonny, if it weren’t for your mom I wouldn’t have been able to invite you. And I didn’t even bother searching you on Lifeinvader or MyStable. I know you well enough to know that you hate those sites.”
  316. >You shake your head in a friendly way.
  317. >”Say Nonny…before asking your mom for your address I tried to reach Twilight, but she said she didn’t want to know anything about you. What happened between you and her? Weren’t you her only and best friend in that fancy university?”
  318. >Shit…
  319. “Well…things happened, but I wouldn’t like to go into details Pinkie. And she’s right, I’m not her friend anymore.”
  320. >They both cringe.
  321. >”Well, things are gonna get awkward…because we also invited her and she confirmed her attendance.”
  322. >Great…just great.
  323. >”Which is strange really, because like you, she also disappeared from Canterlot for a long time.”
  324. “Really? How come?”
  325. >”She couldn’t come to our wedding because of her work, and now-”
  326. “Wait wait wait, your wedding?”
  327. >They both let out a chuckle.
  328. >”Yes…” they show you their wedding rings on their fingers, real close to your eyes, “we married five years ago. I also tried to invite you, but not even your mother knew where you were.”
  329. “Don’t worry about it Pinks, I’m happy for you two. As for me, well…let’s just say I had to get away from things and start over.”
  330.  
  331. >They look at each other in confusion.
  332. >”Wanna talk about it Nonny?”
  333. “I’d rather not…sorry Pinkie, but it’s something I’ve been wanting to take off my mind for quite a while.”
  334. >”It’s okay Nonny, but if you change your mind let me tell you that we’re here if you need help.”
  335. >You smile at the happily married couple.
  336. “Thanks you two, you were great friends back then and that hasn’t changed.”
  337. >Pinkie Pie giggles.
  338. >”Aww Nonny,” she says before giving you a hug, “say, we’re not done yet, maybe you should drop by when the party starts.”
  339. “I will…see you guys later.”
  340. >You wave at them before turning around and leaving the premises.
  341.  
  342. >Well, it seems you missed many things while you were away.
  343. >Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich got married a long time ago.
  344. >You wonder what happened to the rest of your friends.
  345. >Sunny, AJ, Dashie, Flutters.
  346. >Now that you think of it…Applejack’s farm is not very far away from school.
  347. >Maybe you should pay her a visit.
  348. >If Twilight didn’t tell a word about what happened between you and her to Pinkie then you should be safe for now..
  349.  
  350. >Minutes later.
  351. >You enter Sweet Apple Acres.
  352. >Looking good as always.
  353. >You can’t believe how many apple trees there are in here.
  354. >Oh boy, you can’t wait to see Applejack.
  355. >She was so hot back in the day.
  356. >And a hard working girl like her must have a slim body, even if ten years have passed.
  357. >A quick look around the farm lets you know that she’s harvesting apples as usual.
  358. >You can’t see Apple Bloom or Big Macintosh anywhere nearby.
  359. “Applejack?”
  360. >”Who is it?”
  361. >Applejack turns her head around her shoulder and loudly gasps when she sees you.
  362. >”Are mah eyes deceiving me? Or is it actually you Anon?”
  363. >She quickly climbs down the ladder and turns around.
  364. “Hey Applejack…it’s really me. Long time no see huh?”
  365. >[YouTube] Dixie Breakdown - Don Reno - Founding Father of Bluegrass Banjo
  366. >”YEEEEHAAAAW!” She loudly cheers, “Ah’ll be darned! It’s actually you! Ah thought ah was hallucinating or something but no! You’re here!”
  367. >Applejack gives you a bone-crushing hug.
  368. >Holy shit, her strength, her body.
  369. >You were right.
  370. >She’s an 11/10.
  371. >You can feel some of her sweat running down your cheek.
  372. >You can’t tell if you should feel disgusted or aroused because of her strong essence.
  373.  
  374. >”Hoo boy, I thought you were missin’ or dead Anon…I’m glad I’m wrong.”
  375. “I’ve just living far away Applejack and that’s it.”
  376. >”Look at you, you’re a big strong man now!” She says as she feels your arms.
  377. >She’s checking you out!
  378. >You better act natural.
  379. >You let out a calmed and collected chuckle.
  380. “Yeah…I’ve been working out for a while, gotta stay healthy or else my stressful job will end up killing me.”
  381. >”Don’t say such things sugarcube, yer’ many things but a quitter isn’t one of them.”
  382. “Thanks Applejack.”
  383. >”Wait a sec…you got some explainin’ do Anon! Why did you never come here to visit? I was scared something happened to you! You just vanished without saying anything!” She angrily says.
  384. “Hey, I had my reasons Applejack.”
  385. >”Oh, so you just didn’t even care to show yer’ face around here to say goodbye?” She crosses her arms and turns around, “is that how you treat yer’ friends?”
  386. >You let out a sigh.
  387. “Sorry Applejack…I just had to leave Canterlot. I didn’t want you to think badly of me.”
  388. >She turns around again, this time showing concern.
  389. >”Well now you’re just scarin’ me sugarcube. What happened?”
  390. “I wouldn’t like to go into details Applejack, it’s too…hurtful to bring out once again.”
  391. >”It was that bad huh?”
  392. “You tell me, I couldn’t see you in more than six years Applejack, I missed your blonde hair and comforting smile.”
  393. >Applejack lets out a dumb chuckle.
  394. >”Always a flatterer aren’t cha?”
  395.  
  396. >You let out an awkward chuckle.
  397. “I-I didn’t mean to-“
  398. >”Ha, you did it again! Same good ol’ Anon still lives inside you,” she mockingly says.
  399. >Luckily Applejack hung out with you long enough so she is immune to your social anxiety.
  400. >What a great gal.
  401. >”Sooo that means you still don’t have a significant other.”
  402. “Your honesty can be mean sometimes…”
  403. >”Sorry sugarcube, don’t think of it as a bad thing.”
  404. >She shows you her ring finger.
  405. >With no ring of course.
  406. >”After all, yer’ not the only one without any sort of compromise.”
  407. “What a shame…a woman as pretty as you shouldn’t be like this. They’re missing out Jackie.”
  408. >Applejack blushes.
  409. >”Why thank you sugarcube…yer’ makin’ me feel a little embarrassed you know.”
  410. >You realize your mistake.
  411. “Whoops, sorry Applejack, I guess I got carried away and thought it was okay to talk with you like this considering that I was gone for a long time.”
  412. >”Aww sugarcube, it’s okay. I almost forget you used to call me Jackie, it was kinda cute.”
  413. >So Applejack is available…amazing!
  414. >”And you’re right, mah work keeps me tied up to Sweet Apple Acres, I barely have time to have fun, and I’m distancing more and more from my friends.”
  415. “Really? You don’t say…”
  416. >”Sadly it’s the truth sugarcube, so I’ve been looking forward to this reunion to catch up with them and have a good time.”
  417. >She hands you an apple.
  418. >”But hard work really pays off.”
  419. “Oh really?” you say in a friendly manner before taking a bite at the red apple.
  420. >Applejack wipes some sweat away with her forearm.
  421. “Just as sweet as the woman in charge of this farm.”
  422. >Applejack smiles while stroking her ponytail.
  423. >”T-thanks sugarcube.”
  424.  
  425. >You both let out awkward chuckles.
  426. >Now you just remembered how awkward she used to be around you as well.
  427. >Especially when she asked you to come over to her humble home so you could teach her a little math.
  428. “Say Jackie? Where are AB and Big Mac?”
  429. >”AB is feedin’ the pigs and Big Mac went to the store to buy some tools since our tools area all worn out, but they’ll attend the reunion as well sugarcube.”
  430. “Gee, it seems everyone is busy. I’m not wasting your time am I?”
  431. >”No! I-I mean…of course not sugarcube, I’m glad you dropped by to say hi. I’m still a little surprised you know? I wasn’t expecting to see you again…and boy, you’ve changed quite a lot.”
  432. >You smile in a friendly way.
  433. “Just on the outside Jackie, I’m pretty much the same in the inside.”
  434. >”I can see that as well sugarcube. I would be heartbroken if you became one of those jerks that dump their friends when they become successful.”
  435. “Nah, you know me well Jackie. I’m sorry I didn’t stop by to see you for a long time, I had plenty of things to do and little-to-no free time to spend.”
  436. >”It’s okay sugarcube…” she says as she gives you another hug, “now I feel a little better knowing that one of the first things you did when you came here was to come to see dumb ‘ol me.”
  437. >She breaks the hug.
  438. >”But seriously though, consider making a Lifeinvader account.”
  439. “Aww Jackie, you know how I feel about that.”
  440. >She rolls her eyes.
  441. >”No sugarcube, the government is not keeping track of everything you write or search on the internet…”
  442. >You sigh.
  443.  
  444. “Alright then Jackie, you’ll be the first person I’ll add when I make an account.”
  445. >Applejack smiles at you.
  446. >”See? Now you can keep in touch with all of us! Too bad you didn’t have a phone back then.”
  447. “Yeah…we were going through hard times and I promised my mom that I’d look for a job when I got out of college to help her out.”
  448. >Applejack smirks.
  449. >”You’re still a good man sugarcube…how come no girl has shown interest in you?”
  450. >tfw no gf.
  451. “You should know the answer to that Applejack, even you felt weirded out by my actions more than a couple of times.”
  452. >”Well, that’s true…but I got to know you better sugarcube. And so did the rest of mah friends. By the way, when is the party going to start? I forgot…”
  453. “According to Pinkie’s invitation, it should start at 8:00 P.M.”
  454. >”Oh horseapples, I still have plenty of things to do…”
  455.  
  456. A. Give her a hand. (More AJ bonding)
  457. B. Leave. (Look for Fluttershy, Rarity or Sunset Shimmer)
  458.  
  459. ”Need a hand?”
  460. >Applejack turns around and checks out your body.
  461. >”Nah sugarcube. Ah got everything under control.”
  462. “Are you sure? I think I can do just fine…” you say as you try lifting a basket full of apples.
  463. >You can’t lift it.
  464. “Whoa…It’s k-kind of heavy.”
  465. >Applejack lets out a cute giggle.
  466. >”Don’t hurt yourself sugarcube, here…”
  467. >She grabs the basket with just one hand and lifts it up to her shoulder.
  468. “Ulp…”
  469. >You need to start lifting weights at the gym.
  470. >”Perhaps you can check up with your friends while I work?”
  471. “They still live here?”
  472. >”Boys and girls alike, in fact I don’t think anyone but you or Twilight left Canterlot.”
  473. “Huh…interesting, where should I find them?”
  474. >”Ya might wanna check on Fluttershy, she’s almost always at the animal shelter; she’ll be very happy to see you.”
  475. “Sounds good Applejack.”
  476. >Applejack grabs another basket full of apples with her remaining hand and lifts it as well.
  477. >”Well, I’m gonna finish mah chores before the reunion starts.”
  478. “Alright then, I’ll see you around Applejack.”
  479. >”W-wait up sugarcube!”
  480.  
  481. >You turn your head around your shoulder.
  482. “Yeah?”
  483. >”After I’m done with my chores I’ll have to make lunch, do you want to join us? It’ll be just like the good old times,” Applejack asks with a slight tone of pink forming on her cheeks.
  484. “Are you kidding? I’d love to! I bet the food you prepare is still as good as when we used to study together.”
  485. >Applejack smiles.
  486. >”G-great! Give me your phone number and I’ll give you a call okay?”
  487. “Sure AJ,” you say before taking out a business card from one of your pockets.
  488. >”Fancy…”
  489. “Uhh, where should I put it? Your hands are kind of busy at the moment.”
  490. >You look at the small pocket on her shirt.
  491. >”Nope…not there.”
  492. “Why not?”
  493. >Applejack blushes.
  494. “Oh right.”
  495. >She thinks you might end up feeling up her goodies.
  496. >”J-just place it inside one of the baskets okay?”
  497. ”Okay…”
  498. >You do as told.
  499. >”Alright then sugarcube, I’ll give you a call as soon as I’m done with mah chores. IT won’t take long I promise.”
  500. “Alright then Jackie, see ya.”
  501. >You can’t remember if Applejack liked or hated that nickname.
  502. >You recall that one time she got really embarrassed because her friends thought you were her boyfriend.
  503. >It brings a smile to your face.
  504. >Next stop. Canterlot’s animal shelter.
  505. >Minutes later.
  506. > [YouTube] Ratchet & Clank 3 (Up Your Arsenal) - Multiplayer - Waiting Room
  507. >You enter the animal shelter.
  508. >A little bell rings shortly after you open the door.
  509. >[“One minute please~”] A sweet voice calls from another room.
  510. >It’s definitely her.
  511. >Fluttershy comes out of the room, sporting some glasses and a labcoat.
  512. >Cute…
  513. >”Welcome to…”
  514. >Fluttershy stops on her tracks.
  515. >”…Anon?”
  516. “Hey Fluttershy.”
  517. >She drops a notebook on the floor and immediately rushes to give you a hug.
  518. >You hug her back.
  519. >”Oh Anon, is it really you? How long has it been? More than six years?”
  520. >How sweet, she really cares for you.
  521. “Yes Fluttershy…how have you been?”
  522. >She breaks off the hug.
  523. >Is she crying?
  524. >”Sorry Anon, I just got a bit emotional…” she says before taking off her glasses and wiping a couple of tears away with her index finger.
  525. “A bit?” You jokingly say.
  526. >She giggles in her usual cute way.
  527. >”I can’t believe it’s really you Anon. Where have you been?”
  528. “Living far away from Canterlot, sorry Flutters…I’ve been working hard to get my life together for all these years.”
  529. >”Sounds serious Anon…why don’t you have a seat and tell me everything? You kind of look tired.”
  530. “Thanks Flutters…” you say before sitting on a comfortable couch.
  531. >Fluttershy takes off her lab coat and sits next to you.
  532.  
  533. “Well…as I was saying, I’ve been away for quite a long time trying to find a job. You know how hard it is right Flutters? Especially when degrees aren’t worth much nowadays.”
  534. >”I know Anon, but I thought you’d never struggle with such things, you always did great in school!”
  535. “Yeah...turns out you need to have more than mere knowledge to succeed. Fortunately I’m doing well at the company I work for.”
  536. >”Really? That’s so great to hear Anon! Where are you living right now?”
  537. “I’m living in Seacrest County. Ever heard of it?”
  538. >She nods.
  539. >”I have, apparently there’s something going on down there that involves very dangerous street races isn’t that right?”
  540. “Yep…once you get used to dodge the racers you’re fit to survive Seacrest County. But ignoring the racers is a really good place to live.”
  541. >”…What’s wrong with Canterlot?”
  542. “Nothing’s wrong with it Shy…it’s just. I just had to leave.”
  543. >”But not even a single call? Or a message on Lifeinvader or Whatsappdoc?”
  544. >Fluttershy interrupts herself.
  545. >”Oh right you dislike all that sort of stuff. Sorry Anon, I forgot.”
  546. “Don’t worry Shy…but really, I’ve been moving from city to city so time just flew by, do you understand?”
  547. >”I think…I’ve been so busy as well. I haven’t had the chance to hang out with my friends in a long time. Rarity travels a lot, Applejack and her siblings are tied up with the farm, Sunset is busy all the time in that boring office job of hers, and lastly Rainbow Dash...I don’t even know what happened to her.”
  548. “Really?! Whoa…growing up sucks don’t you think Flutters?”
  549. >She giggles.
  550. >”Sometimes, but other times is just amazing,” she lets out an inspired sigh while looking at the engagement ring in her finger.
  551. “Whoa…is that-“
  552. >She nods.
  553. >”Bulkie gave it to me a while ago. Pinkie Pie is in charge of our wedding and the party.”
  554. “Bulkie? Ah right, Bulk Biceps.”
  555. >Fluttershy nods.
  556.  
  557. >”We’ll get married in three months. Can you believe it Anon? Now that I know you’re well I can invite you to my wedding as well. Pinkie Pie was very sad because she couldn’t invite you to her wedding.”
  558. >Every time you hear things like those you feel like you are a bad friend.
  559. >But then again, you didn’t want to have a disastrous end to your beautiful friendship with the girls like the one you had with Twilight.
  560. >Fluttershy gives you another hug.
  561. >”Oh I have so much wonderful things to tell you! Did you know Trixie has her own talent agency? Or that Rarity is doing well with her designs and gets the chance to fly to Europe many times a year? Or that Twilight and-“
  562. >Fluttershy interrupts herself after mentioning Twilight.
  563. >”Um Anon? I hope I’m not being a bit intrusive. But what happened between you and Twilight? She looks hurt every time your name is mentioned.”
  564. >You let out a sigh.
  565. “We had a fight over something really stupid. I wouldn’t like to bring it up Shy, sorry…but it’s kind of hurtful for me as well…”
  566. >”O-oh, I understand Anon.”
  567.  
  568.  
  569. >You decide to change the topic of conversation.
  570. >[YouTube] The Noveltones - Left Bank 2 [1963]
  571. “So, married to Bulk Biceps huh? Considering how shy the big guy is I wonder how he managed to ask you to be his wife, let alone his girlfriend.”
  572. >Fluttershy giggles in a cute way.
  573. >”Oh Anon…let’s not forget that I’m just as shy as he is. But one of his perks is that he’s very good at hiding it.”
  574. >You decide to bother her a bit.
  575. “Sooo…how many kids do you plan to have?”
  576. >She goes as red as a tomato.
  577. >”A-Anon?! What are you saying?!”
  578. >You chuckle.
  579. “Chill, I’m just messing with you.”
  580. >She quickly slaps the back of your palm in a very fragile way.
  581. >”W-well…I’d be totally okay if I had three children,” she places her palms on her cheeks and closes her eyes, “but I’m okay with raising just one kid...”
  582. “You know, I think you’d be an excellent mother. After all you have tons of experience taking care of these poor animals.”
  583. >Fluttershy giggles.
  584. >”Y-you really think so? Why thank you Anon…and what about you? Do you have a special someone yet?”
  585. >You sigh.
  586. “Not yet Flutters…I’m still single.”
  587. >”Aww…don’t worry Anon,” Fluttershy says while caressing your arm, “many women would love to have you as their boyfriend!”
  588. “Really?”
  589. >She nods.
  590. >”I mean, you’re pretty smart and at the same time kind. Funny too! In fact…let me tell you a little secret, one of us had a crush on you.”
  591.  
  592. REALLY?! And why didn’t you tell me before?!”
  593. >”Well…she made us Pinkie-promise that we would never say anything. Please don’t be mad at me.”
  594. >You let out a calm and collected sigh.
  595. “I’m not mad Flutters…really.”
  596. >You’re fucking furious!
  597. “Can you at least tell me who that ‘mysterious’ girl was?”
  598. >”I wish I could Anon…but I can’t.”
  599. “What?! Why not? It happened a long time ago!”
  600. >”Pinkie-promises are never meant to be broken, if I did…well, it wouldn’t be nice.”
  601. >[YouTube] SpongeBob Music: Steel Sting
  602. “Well, how about a little hint? Was it one of your five friends?”
  603. >She nods.
  604. “It can’t be you.”
  605. >Fluttershy blushes.
  606. >”Of course not Anon! D-don’t say such things.”
  607. “Nor Pinkie Pie, seeing that she’s happily married…”
  608. >Fluttershy rolls her eyes.
  609. >”I think you can figure it out by yourself.”
  610. “Yeah, I think I should…say, whatever happened to Rares and her tiny store?”
  611. >”You haven’t visited her yet? Well, she’s now in a different location, West 13th and Liberty Avenue, it’s a big store so you can’t miss it.”
  612. >You stand up and so does Fluttershy.
  613. “Alright, I’ll go check it out Flutters, I’ll see you at the reunion!”
  614. >She smiles.
  615. >”See you later Anon,” she happily says after giving you a goodbye hug.
  616.  
  617. >A few minutes later you arrive to the specified location.
  618. ”Whoa…looks like Flutters wasn’t joking around.”
  619. >Rarity’s new store is much larger than the small boutique her mother owned back in your High School days.
  620. >You walk through the front door and find many lovely ladies shopping and trying on dresses.
  621. >”Does this dress makes my butt look big?” A lady asks to a cyan haired woman.
  622. >Yes it does…
  623. >You spot a familiar figure walking towards your position with her eyes closed.
  624. >”Welcome to Canterlot Boutique! Where everything is chic, unique and…“
  625. >As soon as she opens her eyes she lets out a gasp.
  626. >”A-Anonymous? Darling is that really you!?”
  627. “In the flesh Rares…”
  628. >She lets out a squeal before giving you a hug.
  629. >”My my my…you’ve changed a lot darling,” she says in a rather flirty tone while checking your body with her eyes.
  630. “And you’re looking good as always Rares!”
  631. >”I know darling, I know. But you look kind of different…needless to say, you look astounding. Nice clothes by the way.”
  632. >You smirk.
  633. “Oh, these old rags? Thanks Rares…”
  634. >You both smirk at the comment you made, before sharing a good laugh.
  635. >[YouTube] HDoom: "A Lady's Chamber" Remastered
  636. >She places a hand on your shoulder and plants a kiss on each of your cheeks.
  637. >”Oh darling, I can’t believe you’re actually here. I’m assuming you received Pinkie Pie’s invitation to the reunion…”
  638. “I did, I can’t believe that so much time has passed, and it seems you’re doing really well.”
  639. >She proudly smiles.
  640. >”Of course darling, I take the fashion business seriously! I ship my dresses to many parts of the world.”
  641. “I’m glad to hear that Rares, you were always pretty good at this. I remember the time I asked you to patch my tuxedo for the Fall formal and you made me a new one instead.”
  642. >She lets out a cute giggle.
  643.  
  644. >”Oh darling, I just couldn’t let you wear that ‘hobo’ tux, but I’m flattered that you still remember that formal.”
  645. “How couldn’t I remember? I had tons of fun!”
  646. >”It was cute that you asked Twilight out Anon, she didn’t have a date even when Flash Sentry asked her out several times.”
  647. >You gulp.
  648. >”Did I say something wrong darling?”
  649. “N-no Rares…I had fun with Twi as well. She was hesitant at first, but we had a good time. And I’m glad that nothing out of the ordinary happened that night.”
  650. >It was the first time you and Twilight bonded that well back in the day.
  651. >The girl seemed to be interested with you after you told her how much you loved science.
  652. >Your friendship lasted the remaining years of High School and a big part of college.
  653. >It was your fault she got mad at you.
  654. >You really miss her.
  655. >”Anyways darling, you haven’t told me where have you been hiding all these years…were you okay?”
  656. “Ah right, yes Rares…well, I struggled for many years to land on a stable job, but I finally got it. It really pays well and I live in Seacrest County.”
  657. >”Seacrest County?!” She excitedly says, “that place is quite expensive and at the same time beautiful darling, how can you afford living in such magnificent place?”
  658. “Working hard every week Rares, I work at this company called HudsenTech. In fact I got promoted yesterday and I got a nice raise…”
  659. >”Aww darling, congratulations!” Rarity says while petting your head, “I always knew that you’d succeed with all that time you wast…I mean, inverted on studying. Both you and Twilight just couldn’t take your noses off the books.”
  660. >Maybe that’s why Twilight liked you so much.
  661.  
  662.  
  663. >While Flash kept trying to win her by his looks only, you only had to show her how mart you were.
  664. >All the long talks you and her used to have about many topics such as science, computers, chemistry, physics, the universe…
  665. >You also remember how Flash hated your guts.
  666. >But once your friends talked about the existence of a parallel universe and how the Twilight Flash fell in love with wasn’t from this world he just gave up on this world’s Twilight.
  667. >Yeah…things were weird in Canterlot High.
  668. >But that’s the way you like them.
  669. >It’s kind of weird that Rarity doesn’t know what happened between you and Twilight.
  670. >But you wouldn’t like to bring that up.
  671. >”Say darling, I assume all you do is work right?”
  672. “What do you mean?”
  673. >”I don’t see a ring on your finger…”
  674. >You sigh.
  675. “I’m still single Rares…”
  676. >”Good. Don’t even bother dating women that don’t appreciate you Anonymous,” she says in a sad tone.
  677. “What? What do you mean Rares?”
  678. >She sighs.
  679. >”My last boyfriend kept pressuring me to have…you know what, and I gave in to his desires. Just so he could break my heart by cheating on me.”
  680. >She begins to tear up.
  681. >Oh shit.
  682. >Whoever that guy was, he is a lucky bastard…emphasis on the bastard.
  683.  
  684.  
  685. “There there Rares. You know that not all men are like that idiot.”
  686. >”I know darling, I know. It’s just so frustrating you know? Pinkie and Fluttershy are already married, and they look like they’ll end up having a beautiful life. But men like Thunderlane don’t care about that. They are just after one thing.”
  687. >So Thunderlane was the one that deflowered Rarity?
  688. >Son of a bitch.
  689. >Although Rarity fucked up you can’t judge her at all.
  690. >After all you and Twilight...
  691. >You shake your head before give Rarity a big hug, which she gladly accepts.
  692. “Don’t cry Rares, there’s a guy out there for you, and a girl for me. Be glad you didn’t end up marrying Thunderlane.”
  693. >”H-huh?”
  694. “Or else you would’ve had a terrible marriage with him. If things like this happen be glad they took place before you made an even bigger mistake.”
  695. >Rarity smiles.
  696. >”You have quite a funny way of seeing things Anon darling…”
  697. >She places your hands on your cheeks.
  698. >”I have always loved that smile of yours, even if things seemed dark for you you always tried to smile and face your problems like a man…”
