Day 6 Noon

>You pull out a chair at the head of the table and shove Gilda into it
"Discuss."
>And off you go to one of the smaller siderooms in the library, they have leather lounge chairs in there
>You don't pay attention to whatever may be transpiring behind you, you just want to rest

Meanwhile[spoiler]under Meg Griffin's bra[/spoiler]...
>Gilda just sat there taking it all in
>She wasn't used to seeing Rainbow's lame friends in this non-pony form
>But sure enough this was them or so it seemed like it
>Their hairstyles were all the same at least
>The girls likewise couldn't believe what they were seeing
>Rainbow most of all
>She was conflicted most of all because she didn't know how to welcome her
>Should she be happy or should this be a bitter sweet reunion?
>She looked at Twilight for a hint of what to feel, but Twilight was just as confused as she was
>A moment passed in awkward silence as they all just sort of stared at each other
>Gilda almost felt as though she could blush
>The whole situation was just that strange to her
>Finally someone broke the silence
>RD: "Uh...Gilda? Is that really you?"
>Gilda crossed her arms and flipped her hair trying to stay cool
>G: "Shyeah. Who else would it be?"
>P: "OMIGOSHGILDAITSSOGOODTOSEEYOUA-!"
>The husky black librarian hushed her immediately
>Librarian: "SHHH!!!!"
>Pinkie whispered back
>P: "Oops. SSssssooorrryyyyy"
>T: "Pinkie this is still a library. I know it's a, uh, big surprise to find Gilda here but you still have to keep your voice to a respectable level."
>G: "Tch. Even in this world you're lame."
>RD: "Hey, you should be nicer to her. As long as everyone else is concerned she's the only one happy to see you here."
>Gilda was more shocked than she cared to admit knowing Rainbow was still willing to talk to her
>Still she maintained her composure and looked off to one side
>G: "Whatever."
>TS: "Alright, before we get to why you're here Gilda I think we should take a moment to examine the situation. First of all-"
>RD: "What are you even doing here?"
>G: "I'm not here for you if that's what you think."
TS: "Then why are you here? Or more importantly how? We've been trying to get back for a while now."
>P: "Gilda i feel bad about where we left things last time. How about when we get home i throw a regular none prank welcome party?"
>G: "Bug off you pink lame-o."
>TS: "Please we have to know where you ended up when you first got here."
>G: "I don't gotta tell you nothing."

>RD: "You do if you want to go back home."
>Gilda hmmph'd and crossed her arms
>TS: "Rainbow Dash please this isn't getting us anywhere."
>RD: "But Twilight..."
>TS: "No buts, if Gilda isn't comfortable talking right now we shouldn't force her."
>Rainbow Dash crosses her own arms and pouts
>TS: "Alright then, i think right now what we need to do is discuss if any of us saw or hear anything interesting."
>AJ: "Sorry, Twi. We couldn't find anything."
>R: "Indeed, except for a few of those mongoloid things. Oh, but we managed to avoid them."
>TS: "They were here?"
>AJ: "Yeah, but only three of them ahm sure we coulda taken them if we had ta."
>R: "Yes, thankfully we didn't have to, some other brash young man came up to them and confronted them. He called them spergs and faggots. And they proceeded to tell him he wasn't as euphoric like they were nor that God existed. Whatever that means."
>AJ: "We should be more careful around here, they were wearing the same type of hats the others from before wore. Ya'll reckon they might run in the same gang?"
>TS: "This is interesting. If anon explained this internet thing to me correctly then there's a high possibility they might be. And they might even be aware of us."
>AJ: "How's that work again?"
>TS: "Instant Messaging. Or IM for short. Anon also said there was an all too famous website their kind frequented, but he also said it was open access so that normal humans could access it as well. We might be able to spy on them from there and keep tabs on them. Anything else?"
>The girls were quiet until Fluttershy tugged at Rarity's skirt from practically under the table
>R: "Why Fluttershy dear whatever is the matter?"
>Fluttershy glanced over at Gilda who beamed at her from the head of the table, Fluttershy was near the back
>She closed her eyes and gulped as she produced a limp poster
>Rarity took it and her eyes grew in amazement
>R: "How could i have almost forgotten?"
>TS: "What is it?"
>R: "There was a group of girls passing these around. I do believe they were part of a committee who were planning a dance for this coming friday."
>TS: "Can i see that?"
>Rarity passed the pink embroidered and glittery poster to Twilight
>Pinkie was positively brimming with excitement as she lay her eyes on it
>Twilight cleared her throat and started reading it
>TS: " It says 'This friday night is ladies night at the Annual Anonsville High School Sadie Hawkins Dance. The theme is "A Magical Night". Tickets for sale in the Cafeteria. 10 per person, 15 per couple. The party starts right after school, and don't stop til midnight.' I believe they meant to write 'Doesn't."
>G: "Oh, great. Now you want to go to a dance? What's next a tea party?"
>RD: "We never said we were going to a dance."
>R: "Oh, poo. I thought it might be fun."
>RD: "What are we gonna do there?"
>R: "Dance for one."
>AJ: "Have fun?"
>P: "And drink punch!"
>Pinkie stopped herself before she got too excited and got shushed again
>TS: "You know i think we should go to this dance."
>RD: "Not you too."
>TS: "Well think about Rainbow Dash. What the girls are saying is absolutely true. We could have lots of fun at the dance that wouldn't bring too much trouble to Anon. And at the same time we could each sneak out two at a time and continue looking for the portal."
>Rainbow Dash grew quiet
>R: "Why Twilight that's a marvelous idea. Oh I'm sure Anon would absolutely love the idea, and it would give me a chance to draw up some new designs for dresses. You know i've noticed humans have almost the same bodies as dragons and minotaurs, this could open up a completely new market for me."
>Rarity drifted off into an inspired daydream as ideas flashed before her eyes
>Applejack was less enthusiastic about the dresses
>AJ: "Well at least it'll give us a chance to see what kind of moves Anon's hiding. Eh, Rainbow Dash?"
>Applejack elbowed Rainbow's side playfully
>RD: "Will you cut that out?"
>Pinkie stifled a giggle and leaned over to Gilda
>In a loud whisper Pinkie let her in on the joke
>P: "It's funny because she and Anon are-"
>RD: "Pinkie."
>Rainbow Dash glared at her from across the table
>P: "Yes?"
>Rainbow didn't say anything but cast a worried look at her
>P: "What's the matter Rainbow Dash isn't it true?"
>Rainbow looked away from her
>An awkward silence hung in the air before Gilda decided to stand up
>G: "Whatever, I'm getting out of here before you all dweeb me out too."


>Gilda rose from the table and started walking away
>Twilight stood up and grabbed her arm
>TS: "Gilda wait."
>G: "Get off me dork!"
>The librarian shushed her
>TS: "Gilda...we're in a library. Low voices?"
>Gilda blew a gasket and she went off
>G: "SO WHAT!? HEY EVERYONE I'M BEING LOUD, IM SO BAD!"
>Librarian: "Honey, you need to leave."
>G: "Don't honey me you black moose."
>Lib: "Oh, no child. You did not just disrespect me in my own house!"
>G: "This isn't a house stupid."
>The librarian was physically agitated
>Shaking her hands up in the air she spoke facing the floor
>L: "Lord give me the strength to withstand to deal with this little girl."
>G: "Do i look like i'm wearing diapers grandma? And who are you talking to, nobody's up there?"
>Big mistake Gilda
>L: "Oh, hell no! Lord Jesus forgive me for this!"
>The librarian jumped out from behind her desk and walked over to Gilda looking very crossed indeed
>Gilda wasn't ready for physical confrontation and started backing away
>The librarian caught her by the ear just before she was about to turn and run
>G: "Ow! AH! What are you doing? That hurts!"
>L: "Child you wanted to talk to me like a woman I am going to treat you like one. I did not bounce for Les Bos night club without learning a few moves now."
>Gilda tried to wrestle her grip away from her ear and ultimately tried to beat her hand away
>Another mistake as the librarian followed through and twisted her arm behind her back leading her out the library
>G: "Ow, what the heck are you doing? What are you-"
>The librarian tossed Gilda out through the double doors like a scene straight out of a western film
>Or a not so recent pony episode
>Gilda lands on her stomach and the girls come pouring out after her
>L: "Now you girls take your little friend with you and don't come back 'til you learn some manners."
>TS: "What? But we didn't do anything."
>Twilight pleaded with the librarian but it was no use she still had to hear the words she dreaded the most
>L: "You are all banned from the library."
>Twilight whimpered as something broke inside her
>L: "And take your boyfriend with you, where is he?"
>You stumble out from behind her aided by Fluttershy
>Thanks to that short nap you're slightly less irritated but still too tired to care nonetheless
"What the fuck's going on?"
>L: "Oh, not you too."
>You recoil as you realize who was standing next to you
"Oh, I'm sorry Mrs.G. I didn't mean to."
>L: "Were you sleeping in there?"
You nod your head shamefully
"Midterms ma'am, they're killing me."
>L: "MM-hmmm. Like no one's ever tried that one on me. Now go on and get back to class you're wasting my time. And you-"
>The librarian pointed straight at Gilda who was just getting off the floor
>L: "-When you learn to control that little attitude of yours, yo come back and apologize. Or i swear i will hunt you down and make you sorry little girl. You understand?"
>Gilda hmph'd at the librarian and walked away

>Taking the hint the girls follow after Gilda
>All except Twilight that is, she just kept shaking her head and saying 'no' over and over again
>TS: "Isn't there some way i could get back in? Maybe some community service? A petition? Anything please i love books, honest!"
>The librarian gave her a funny look and shook her own head
>L: "Baby, if your really that desperate, you need to stay out of the library. There's a whole world out there child, go explore."
>She gave one last huff and went back inside
>Twilight seemed devastated but you take her by the shoulders and guide her away from the library while supporting yourself on her
"She's right Twilight, you're a total bookworm."
>T: "But, but, books are my thing. I live in a library. They're my whole identity."
>You snicker a bit, probably from being delirious
"Twilight you know that's not the only library, right?"
>TS: "What?"
>Twilight stopped abruptly and you pile on top of her knocking her down
>You can't tell really what happened because sleep deprivation
>Long story short next thing you realize is that Twilight is on all fours in front of you, your on your knees pressed tightly against her with both hands on her hips
>It takes a minute for your brain to make the connection
>As soon as it does though you snap your gaze to Twilight's purple blushing face, a crude awkward smile on spread across it that seemed less than appropriate
>You jump back in slow dive
"Goddamn it."
>Not what you intended to say but there it was, all eyes on you
>AJ: "You alright there anon?"
>Applejack helped you to your feet and you felt the rush of blood go to your head
>That dizzy sensation started pouring over you as you tried to steady yourself
>Farther up ahead though you could see Gilda walking away
>You couldn't just let her go off like that
>You take an unsteady step forward and sprint after her
>As soon as you catch up you reach out and grab her shoulder
"Hey"
>Gilda turns and gives you an ugly look, baring her teeth at you
>You let go off her and put up your hands up passively
>G: "What do you want you little creep?"
>Little was right way to describe you now
>Gilda was taller than you by a lot
>Your forehead just came up to her chin
"Sorry, uh, i just wanted to say thanks. From before?"
>You point behind you with your thumb and follow your hand with your head for emphasis
>You look back to Gilda who puts her fist down, you didn't even notice that
>G: "Whatever.."
>Gilda starts walking away again but you jump in front of her
"Listen, i know you don't know me but i know you."
>G: "Oh, great now you're going to try give me that after school special speech aren't you?"
"No, n- you have those in Eagleland?"
>You shake your head
"Nevermind, that's not what i'm trying to say."
>G: "Well then?"
"You're gonna need a place to stay."
>Gilda was quiet for longer than she needed to be
"Um, do you want to stay at my place?"
>G: "Huh?"

"Listen all the other girls are staying with me. I just thought you'd want to crash there too."
>G: "They're staying with you? Pfft. You just blew your own deal, kid."
>Gilda blew past you
"Where else are you gonna go?"
>Gilda slowed down and stopped as you kept talking
"You don't have anywhere else. You don't have any money, or any other friends to help you."
>Gilda wheeled around
>G: "Listen twerp! All my friends are back in Eagleland!"
>She looked past you at Rainbow Dash and stopped herself
"Fine. You don't have anyone else willing to put up with you. And you don't know your way around the city. Where would you go?"
>Gilda frowned as she thought about what you were saying
"Just come to my place, and you can crash on my couch."
>Gilda crossed her arms and turned her back on you
>G: "You're lucky i came alone."
>You take that as a yes
>G: "So where is your cruddy apartment? I need start planning."
"Planning what?"
>G: "None of your business!"
>Jeez, temper
"I'll take you there but first we have to get out of here. And we can't just walk out the front door without security catching us."
>G: "Such a dweeb."
>As you try to figure out plan a magic red button appears not to far off to the left
>Bells start ringing and lights start flashing as you pull the fire alarm
"Okay, now we can go!"
