'Panic mode activated: How do I break up this situation before it gets too friendly. Let's see, a pen. That will have to do for now.' He thought to himself, out of options.

 

Star for some sort of reason he hadn't quite worked out himself felt odd about somepony being with Cascade, so he though it would be a brilliant idea to stall anything else till he came up with a better plan. In this case throwing a pen. He tossed it at Ramblers head before hiding back behind his book in the corner, peeking over to see the result of his action.

@@Descant,

 

Rambler felt a surge of warmth throughout his body when their tales twined together. He chuckled a little at her response. That was a good point.

 

"Right, of course. So... you said you had to do homework, but when you're done, I'd love to take you out to dinner, and maybe we can see a movie or something, too. Would you like that?" 

 

 

@@The-Master, 

 

Rambler flinched as something hit the side of his face. Looking on the ground where it landed he saw it was a pen. He shrugged and left it there, continuing to walk with Cascade. As long as he was with her, he really didn't care about anything else.

@, @@The-Master,

 

Cascade nodded, smiling. "I'd love that." 

 

She felt Rambler flinch, and, saw the pen land on the ground. But unlike him, she saw who had thrown it. It was that same lonely, scarfed stallion from earlier. Wait, no. It couldn't be? She hadn't seen head nor tail of him for months. Before she was able to get a closer look they had rounded the corner, and she put it out of her mind for now. 

 

It was a short walk to Prancer Hall. Cascade smiled at Rambler. "Why don't we meet back here in... about an hour? That'll be plenty of time."

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

Rambler nodded, he really didn't care about where or when, as long as they were going to be together. This promised to be a very good night indeed.

 

"Yeah, an hour is fine. Um... when we were walking, after that pen hit me in the head, it looked like something was bothering you. Are you alright?"

[The-Master 1,176]

Mission failure. Well that could have gone better, He didn't even seem to notice the projectile hitting him. Gah, this is more difficult than I thought. At least Cascade didn't recognize him. Maybe I can convince Rambler later tonight that it's a bad idea. That might work, but I'll have to be subtle about it. Maybe if I explain our history- wait, that's a terrible idea. I could simply explain that she might be rushing into a situation like what happened that night? That could work.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just thought I saw... But that's not important. It couldn't have been him." She was talking more to herself than she was to Rambler. Then she seemed to remember where she was. "Oh. Um... Yeah. I need to go get my homework done if I want to be ready in time. See you in a few!" She flashed a smile at him as she dashed inside the building, and closed herself in her room. It couldn't have been him, she told herself. He vanished off the face of the planet. She tread lightly past the napping Lila, and began writing something at her desk...

"Well, alright then. I guess if you don't think it's important than I'll leave it at that. I'll see in you in a little while then."

 

Rambler walked into the building and back up to his room, where he laid on the bed and tried to relax for a while. No matter how hard he tried though, he kept thinking about what could have been bothering Cascade. He didn't want it to interfere with their relationship.

@,

Star Keeper peeked over to see if the cost was clear, then using his finely tuned ninja skills, he slipped away from his table. He arrived  back at his room just after Rambler. Star opened the door carefully and sat down on his bed.

 

'Okay, start off polite. Just ask him about his day.'

 

"Hey again. You look awfully tired. How did your day go? Not too much trouble I hope."

 

'Smooth.'

*click* Lilas ear perked up at the sound of the door closing quietly. She assumed it was cascade finally getting back. Lilas ear rotated along with the direction of the soft hoofs steps until they stopped. Then she heard the scratching of a writing instrument on paper. Her horn glowed a soft orange and a few of the candles around the room lit up as well. Lila pushed herself up, "Thought you might need some extra light." she said, yawing afterwards.

Rambler saw Star come in and nodded in acknowledgement. He was still rather preoccupied with worrying about Cascade, but he was willing to talk.

 

"Yeah, my day was pretty good. By the way, I'll be going out later. First day of class and I already got a date. So, how about you, is everything going alright for you so far?"

[The-Master 1,176]

@, 

 

"What!?" Was that out loud? "I-I mean, uh... congrats. M-my day was rather dreary, not much to talk about."

 

Star was taken a bit off guard by that. Dating, already? She just keeps moving faster each time. Cascade really needs to learn to take it slower. "A-and you aren't afraid this is a bit sudden? You guys did only just meet after all, how much do you really know about each other?"

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

@@The-Master,

 

Rambler shrugged. It certainly wasn't unusual for him to date girls he'd known for a day, sometimes he dated girls he'd only known for a few minutes.

 

"Well, I guess sometimes people just click, you know? I mean, we might as well at least give it a shot and see what happens, right?"

"I-I guess so. But don't rush into anything too soon." Star seemed to fiddle awkwardly with his hooves, giving obvious signs he was quite nervous. "I'm sorry for my little outburst, uncalled for. Me and Cascade have met before, be it under stranger circumstances." He didn't feel like gong into details, almost instantly regretting bringing it up.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

@@The-Master, 

 

Rambler just nodded and turned away for a minute before something occurred to him.

 

"Wait a minute; I never said I was going out with Cascade. How did know I was talking about her?"

 

Rambler was starting to get suspicious. What was Star really thinking? What was his history with Cascade?"

[The-Master 1,176]

@,

 

Bugger, should have thought of that. Quick, say something smart. "I just saw you two together, it never occurred to me that you were going out. I just put two and two together. It really doesn't matter too much, can we just drop it?" That might just work, although he has proved himself sharper than you first suspected.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

@@The-Master,

 

Rambler eyed Star Keeper suspiciously for a moment and then sighed.

 

"You know what? I don't even care. Whatever happened between you and Cascade is your problem. Just don't get involved, alright? I really like her; she's special, and I've never had the same kind of feeling for another mare. I don't want to lose her."

 

He got up and walked over to the door, bringing his guitar with him.

 

"I'm going to go play some music and wait for Cascade outside."

shade sat down and ordered some rice, and spring rolls. she ate quite quickly because she was getting kind of exited for her date. and the fact that she might get cramps from swimming. 

 

she coudnt get the thought out of her head, she was going to have a date, and didnt know what to expect.

"Shade, next time, do you think you should maybe slow down on the rolls and stuff?" Night Song laughed. "I guess you can't wait, huh," she noted. If she were Shade's position, she would be excited as well. She ate her food at a medium speed and went to throw her stuff away. "Well, shall we go?" she asked.

Politics wasn't so bad, they had watched a video about the UN, what it does, and we even got to see a few minutes of the debate. The class was an hour long, but the room was lively. Windows had no curtains over them, and there was even a podium at the front of the room, for when they held class debates, which would come later in the year. As the clock struck two, I trudged out of the room with my bag and went straight to my room. I threw my saddlebag onto the floor and sat on my bed. I looked around the room and finally found the clock, which, as 5 minutes earlier, with 5 minutes later, showed 2:05. I had until 3:45 for his next class, so I opened my laptop to check my m-mail (Magic Mail). I shut it after I confirmed there were no new messages, and I went outside and wandered through the courtyard, considering practicing a few new spells I was trying to learn. I was actually about to begin, but I saw Rambler again, playing his guitar, and it would be best if I didn't mess up his playing by practicing. I approached him and sat near him to prevent too much of a distraction, but I noticed his eyes momentarily kept leaving his guitar to glance around the yard, as if he were waiting for somepony. I decided not to mention it and just listen to the music.

After Lila had left, Lite was just laying on her bed, looking back up at the ceiling. The dome was no longer there, as her mood calmed and the dome dissolved. There was really nothing left to do as of now... So, she decided to amuse herself. Her horn glowed black again, as a shade shot out from under her, and went down the hallway, listening in on conversations.

Rambler looked up as he saw someone sit down out of the corner of his eye. When he confirmed that it wasn't Cascade, his focus returned to his music. He wasn't in the mood to play his traditional style of music, so he decided to go with something more current.

As Lite's shade listened on conversations, Sweets would just be finding her way to the dorms. Her mood hadn't improved, especially when she would stop to look at a picture of her family, or read a good luck letter. She hadn't even started classes yet, and here she was... Homesick. Sweets flipped her mane out of her eyes. "Pull yourself together!" she stamped a hoof, looking up at an empty dorm. "Look, here's one with my name on it. Wow. My name on a dormroom door..." she smiled slowly at the very thought. "... Eeeeee~" she squealed again, her mood beginning to brighten. "I'll be just fine. Everypony has faith in me. And I have faith in myself!" she stamped a hoof resolutely, wings spread and flapping. Those wings would stop halfway. "Now, if only I could find a friend or two."

"Thanks, Lila. Sorry I woke you," Cascade said quietly, continuing to scratch away at her parchment.

 

After about a half hour, Cascade set down her pen, done with the assignment for biology. She decided she ought to go take a shower before her date. She stripped, and wrapped herself in a towel as she trotted across the hall to the ladies' restroom. Two shower stalls. She hopped into one of them, and began to rinse. Everything was fine until she noticed bulky, sand-coloured feathers flowing down the drain... The potion must have worn off. She looked at her wings, and they were back to their normal selves... She sighed.

 

She trotted back into her room, wrapped in her towel, and selected a new blouse and skirt. They were cute, and would draw the eye away from the wings instead of towards them. She got dressed. "Lila, I'm going to head back out for a bit. See you tonight!" And with that, Cascade emerged from her room and trotted down the hall to where she had agreed to meet Rambler... She heard the strumming of a guitar, and figured he must have gone outside, so she trotted outside, and spotted him entertaining another pony...
