- S-Link 8 - Twilight (N)
- Canterlot High Library
- Upon entering the library, you look to the checkout counter for Twilight. But she's not there today.
- You walk between the stacks and check the tables, but no sign of the girl anywhere.
- As you look around again, your phone chirps. A message from Twilight
- Twilight: Hey [Player]! I don't know if you're stopping by the library today, but something's come up.
- Twilight: I could actually still use some help. Can you come by my house for a study session?
- Twilight: I'm looking forward to it!
- You've received Twilight's home address. You can visit her in the evenings.
- The Sparkle Family House
- Using the address Twilight gave you, it's rather easy to find your way to her home.
- You knock on the door and are quickly greeted by a woman who bears a more than slight resemblance to Twilight.
- ???: Hello, how can I help you?
- You introduce yourself, and the woman's face brightens up immediately.
- ???: Oh, you're [Player]? Our little Twily's told us about you! I'm Velvet, her mother.
- The older woman's silver and purple hair swirls around her as she turns and walks inside.
- Velvet: Please, come on inside. I'll let Twilight know you're here.
- You follow Velvet into the wide open entryway. As you look around, Velvet disappears from sight.
- A few seconds later, there's a loud trampling sound as Twilight hurries into the hall.
- Twilight: [Player]! Hi!
- She's clearly red faced from the sprint, wearing a smile that lights up the room.
- Twilight: I'm so glad that you could come and see me.
- Velvet comes back and stands beside her daughter, wearing a coy smirk.
- Velvet: I was wondering when I would get a chance to meet your boyfriend, Twilight. He seems quite nice.
- Twilight: He's not my boyfriend, Mom.
- As Twilight rolls her eyes, Velvet's expression shifts to one of surprise.
- Velvet: Oh? Then what exactly are you two?
- >Option 1 - Twilight's study partner.
- S-Link +1
- Twilight smiles and bobs her head in agreement, while Velvet looks a little disappointed.
- Twilight: Right, [Player]'s been helping me prepare for the exam portion of the McGuffin Program requirements.
- Velvet: Oh, I see; well that's very nice of him.
- The older woman smiles politely and looks you over.
- Velvet: It's good to see that Twilight is spending time with her friends again. So, thank you for that, [Player].
- Leaning in a bit closer, so gives a loud, but conspiratorial whisper.
- Velvet: Make sure she stays out of trouble, OK?
- >Option 2 - We're just friends.
- S-Link +0.2
- Velvet makes a disinterested sound, while Twilight averts her eyes.
- Velvet: Is that all? Honestly, I was hoping for something a little juicer than that.
- Twilight: Well, nothing like that going on here.
- Twilight gives a strained smile to her mother.
- Twilight: [Player] and I are just two friends spending time together.
- A smile smile works its way onto Velvet's face.
- Velvet: Well I guess I don't have to worry about any frisky business going on in your bedroom then.
- >Option 3 - I'm the one who's going to win your daughter's heart.
- S-Link +0.6
- Twilight's eyes widen in shock, while Velvet clasps her hands in front of her and grins.
- Twilight: [Player], what are you-
- Velvet: Oh how exciting! I can see why you fell for him, Twilight; he's a charmer.
- Turning on her mother, Twilight shakes her head and tries to explain.
- Twilight: No, Mom, he's just-
- Velvet: No need to hide your feelings, dear, they're written all over those cute, blushing cheeks of yours.
- Velvet: Oh I can't wait to tell your father and brother; they're going to be so excited!
- Twilight's jaw drops.
- Twilight: MOM!
- Looking thoroughly pleased with herself, Velvet places a hand on her daughter's back.
- Velvet: Well, I won't keep you any longer. Have fun on your date and let me know if you need anything.
- Twilight: It's not a date!
- The girl sighs, and then leads you to her room.
- Twilight: Sorry about that [Player], my Mom can be a little nosy at times. Thanks again for coming by tonight. Ready to get started?
- Sitting down on the floor, she pulls out her materials and the two of you begin a review session.
- The questions and responses are coming a little easier for the both of you now, and the result of Twilight's studying is really beginning to bear fruit.
- Twilight: Eighteen out of twenty!
- Twilight laughs, throwing her arms up in the air and letting loose a delighted laugh.
- Twilight: It's such a relief to see improvement after so long.
- Fixing you with a smile, she grabs your hand.
- Twilight: Thank you, [Player], for all your help.
- >Option 1 - What are friends for?
- S-Link +0.6
- Twilight grins and nods.
- Twilight: You're right, and I probably should have asked for help sooner.
- Twilight: Your persistence is really something, you know. I couldn't get rid of you even when I tried.
- Twilight ...But I've come to appreciate that about you.
- >Option 2 - I did it for you, Twilight.
- S-Link +1
- Twilight: Oh...
- Despite her best attempts to avert her eyes, Twilight continues to glance between you and her suddenly very interesting fingers.
- Twilight: Well, thanks, [Player].
- Twilight: That actually makes me really happy. Thank you.
- >Option 3 - No big deal, happy to help.
- S-Link +0.2
- Twilight laughs.
- Twilight: I thought that you would say something like that, but it means a lot to me.
- Twilight: Spending time with you, it's been really nice.
- Twilight: I'm looking forward to being able to spend time with my friends again soon as well.
- After taking a moment of silence, Twilight smiles.
- Twilight: Hey [Player], I- I think I'm ready...
- Twilight's breathing is heavy and labored as she looks at you with an excited but slightly fearful smile.
- Twilight: I think I'm just about ready, to take the McGuffin exam.
- Completely oblivious to what the previous statement might have implied, Twilight continues to glow with excitement.
- Twilight: It would really mean a lot to me, if you came with me to the exam center; could I count on you for that?
- You nod your head and Twilight sighs in relief.
- Twilight: Great, thanks. Come by the library later; I'll let you know when I'm ready.
