((Well, in that case, now I know what's happening. Thank you!))

 

"Sweet!" Windy said, grinning broadly at Minty. Turning to yell back at Coach, Windy decided to wing it and try and skip having to help. "Uh, Coach, I'm helping warm up one of the defenders. Sorry, but I don't think I can help." He called across the field, crossing his hooves that Shinsplints would buy his story and let him keep hanging out with Minty. "10-4 that Runner, but you'd better be helping double tomorrow! And I'd better see some extra hustle in our game against Cloudsdale next week!" 

 

"You can count on it sir!" Windy called back to Shinsplints, before turning to Minty, smiling and saying, "Well, now that that's been taken care of, what say we take a few laps to warm up. Let's go!" he called, beginning to run away from Minty down the inside lane of the track.

Blaze sat down near the centre to get the best view. He could have been doing something oroductive but instead he was watching his two dorm mates playing football (the origional name for the sport ). He looked over at them and a new colour flashe in his eyes for a brief second. A purple colour. Jealousy. He shook his head and leaned back. *Don't be an idiot* He thought. *You coukdn't win over a fly anyway.*

Minty laughed, and dashed way past Windy. "See ya!" She got to the end of the track in ease. "Ha!" She kept dashing another lap, and before she knew it, she finished. Minty laughed. "Well, you tried," Minty smiled, still trotting her hooves in place. "Okay, how will we do this?"

Blaze stood up straight and waved back clearly to make it obvious.

*OK, so in all honesty there is a small chance you could try and get close to succeeding. But you are just a usless third wheel really.* He dicoureged himself. Instead if simply taking it on the chin he cheered for minty instead.

Chuckling, Windy punched Minty lightly on the shoudler. "You wish! I wasn't trying, I was letting you get all warmed up by running! I could've matched you, no problem, if I wanted to!" Putting on a flirty face, he said, "But I don't think it was that bad having to run behind you the whole time." Laying down on the pitch and beginning to stretch his legs, Windy gestured for Minty to do the same, "I have no idea how hard Shinsplints is gonna work us, but I don't want to be having strained muscles on day one, and I doubt you do either. Lets get some stretching in, then we'll go over and get started."

She blushed at the remark. "T-thanks." She sat down on the pitch and started stretching with Windy. She strained to push through it. "Wow. Coach Shinsplints. What a jerk." Minty scoffs. "It'd help to have a new coach."

​"Nah, he's not that bad once you get on his good side... He just thinks that being a drill sergeant is the best way to win the Equestria Cup! Once we show him we've got chops, then he'll lay off us a bit. At least, that's what I heard from some of the seniors on the team. Anways, lets do some long balls to warm up our legs." Windy said, running out about thirty yards with a ball. "I've always found the best way to warm up is some nice good passes." He said, launching a pass downfield to Minty. 

[MyLittleCell 106]

Royal decided to map out the campus, understand where everything is. He walked around the school, mentally marking the stores and frats and sports places. He knew places like this always had betting games, and if he wanted to understand who would win, he needed to know the players.

He ended up wandering towards the track, where he saw to ponies running. They stopped and began to stretch. He decided to stop and watch. He mentally noted their looks to remember them if there was a race eventually.

He looked up and realized he didn't have his sunglasses when the sun glared. He needed to remember those, if he could remember millions of numbers, how come he can't remember his glasses?

"Eh," Minty says. She kicks a ball to Windy, accidentally showing off her flank a little bit. "So, how long have you been playing soccer?" Minty smiles, her ponytail flying everywhere. She sat down, and just fiddled with the ball with her hoof. She thought about how the two stallions were treating her. She was oblivious of the reason..

[Adente 1,000]

((Wow, Minty is as clueless to social cues as Windy if she hasn't noticed yet that two stallions have the hots for her))

 

Blinking and trying to keep eye contact with Minty, and not with her flank, Windy sat down on the grass beside her. "Well, I've been doing soccer for a really long time, since I was just a little colt. I was 5 I think, when I first kicked a soccer ball. It went so far it broke a window on the opposite end of the park I was at! Right after that, this mark appeared, and I've been doing soccer ever since." Windy said, gesturing to his mark. "Kinda useless, since everypony I know has cool marks that give them musical ability, or special magic or something, and all I can do is kick around a stupid ball. Oh well, everything happens for a reason I guess." He said, looking away across the field and taking a pull from his water bottle that he had brought.

 

"Why'd you say that out loud Windy? You don't want her to know you're embarressed of your mark, or that you feel your talent is pointless! She'll think you're some angsty, whiny colt who never stops complaining about everything! Ok, ok brain, I'll be more careful!"

Minty laughs. "I don't like my cutie mark, either. It's just mints. It happened right after I made my own mint.. Well, it was such a success that I had to move here!" She laughs. "I got broke of supplies. You got a way more interesting cutie mark. Mine is a stupid mint," she says, blushing. "It has this music note, too, since I'm kind of a good singer.."

[MyLittleCell 106]

Royal looked over at the bleachers to see there was somepony there. He studied the way he watched the two on the track, and the way they conversed. Royal always prided himself on social cues, even if no one gave them. 

Then it clicked in his head, and he smiled. Royal was never cruel with his knowledge, but he knew when to use it. 

He chuckled while watching the two stretch, and decided to join the one in the stands.

He walked up to Blaze

Standing up and beginning to walk over towards Shinsplints, Windy turned and looked back at Minty in surprise. "You can sing? I'm gonna have to hear that sometime. They have a coffeehouse here on campus that has a karaoke night every weekend. We should go so you can sing! Although you can't ask me to sing, I can't carry a tune to save my life! I mean, I had to stop singing in the shower when my neighbors were filing complaints, I was so bad!"

University. Well, this was going to be an experience. First day, and not only was she late, but Denim had gotten lost on the way to her dorm room as well. After what seemed like an eternity of wandering the halls she finally found it, and pushed the door open, calling, "Hulllooo? Anypony here?"

She steps fully inside to discover evidence of occupation, but nopony within, "Well, seem's my roommate's already made themselves at home." She said as she trotted fully in.

 

The blue mare set her luggage down neatly in a corner with her magic before exploring the room she'd call home for the next four years. It was simple enough, but it would do. Denim trotted back out into the living room, adjusting the white scarf around her neck with her magic before yawning, "Well, I'm not sticking around here to see if my roommate shows up again. I'll just explore and try not to get lost... again."

 

She steps out of the dorm room, shutting the door behind her before trotting down the way she'd come and towards an exit she'd seen as she searched. Denim pushed the door open and stepped outside, breathing in a deep, contented sigh before she set about exploring. Where she was going, she had no idea, but she'd get somewhere if she walked long enough, that much was for certain.

After a few minutes of doing so, she arrived near the soccer field (assuming that's where near everyone else is). There seemed to be a few ponies there. Well, if she was going to be spending the next four years in the same general vicinity of these ponies, might as well get to know them. She made her way down towards them.

 

(OOC: I'll hold off on posting with Saronyx till after he get's paired up with someone. I'll just claim he's already in his dorm.

Also, 1400+ character post to make up for making you guys wait so long for me.)

Minty smiled. "You can't sing? I think I should hear that..! I can sing okay, in my opinion. But you really think I should go to a karaoke bar?" She asks, blushing. "You know I'm a shy pony.. I can't go in front of everypony and sing. I can sing in front of you and Blaze, sure, but not a crowd. Minty says, biting her lip.

[Adente 1,000]

@,

 

Turning away from Minty for a moment as Coach Shinsplints jammed a bunch of training cones into his hooves, Windy walked back over, and motioned down the field. "Sorry, I gotta set these up for a drill. You can walk with me while I set them up. Anyways, yeah, I think it'd be a fun time if we went to a karaoke bar. I'm sure you have a goregoeus voice, and I know everypony would love it if you sang. Might do a number on your shyness too! And, if you sing, I promise I'll sing. After I've had enough alcohol to lose my ability to think 'this isn't a good idea', that is."

Minty instantly got uncomfortable. "U-um.. I never drank before.." She stammered. "Ive never tried.." She said. "I'm not too sure if I'm prepared to sing, either. I'm not sure if I can do this," she says, following Windy. "Please don't judge me.. I've been judged and teased enough in my life.."

"Sheesh, this mare seems to think I'm the devil incarnate, out to mock and tease her! Jeez, what did I DO to set her off like this? Search me Windy... Just reassure her or something! Be nice!"

 

Turning around and dropping all the cones he had been carrying, Windy wrapped a wing around Minty and pulled her into a hug. "Minty, I know I've known you for, well, a few hours, max, but I promise, no, I Pinkie Promise right now that I won't ever judge you, tease you, or tolerate anypony who does. And you don't have to sing in front of a crowd if you don't want to, I wouldn't want to force you into anything you would feel uncomfortable doing. And don't worry about the alcohol issue, I respect you more for not doing that. So, are you feeling a little better?"

Minty blushes, and smiles a bit. "Yeah, I guess.. Sorry if I sound foolish. I just don't like thinking of the fact of singing in front of ponies. Thanks for everything today, Windy. It means a lot to me." She smiles, and walks off to the dorm. "Bye! See you later!" She trotted back to the dorm.

Windy started to follow after Minty as she left, but thought better of it and stopped. Instead, he kicked a nearby goalpost out of frustration. "Argh! Stupid, stupid, stupid! I hugged her and said all that sappy stuff! What was I thinking?! Mares don't want sensitive colts, they want tough stallions who aren't softies and wimps! Damn!" 

 

Windy's frustrated rant was interrupted by Coach Shinsplints, who had walked up behind Windy while he had been venting. "As... interesting as I'm sure your personal affairs are Runner, you have a practice to do. So, how about you train out some of that frustration. I want you working with the other varsity defenders and practicing a fast breakout pattern. We've been weak in that, and I think your speed on defense will give us the chance to counterattack much quicker this season. But you've gotta get it down, so get out there and TRAIN RUNNER!!!" Shinsplints barked. Windy immediately dashed off to join the other defenders to begin drilling. As Windy performed the drills, he was still grumbling in frustration, just mentally now instead of out loud.

 

"Ugh, who does coach think he IS anyways? Now, I'm stuck out here sweating and working in this heat while Minty heads back to our room, all alone... Oh wait, I'm sure Blaze will be more than happy to accompany her back... I should've known I was wasting my time going after her. I guess I can still make a pass at the sorority mares... Windy, don't give up hope yet! You've only known her for a few hours! Just keep being a good stallion to her, and it'll all work out in your favor! You know what brain, you might be right for once!"

Minty opened the dorm, and plopped herself onto the bed. She looked at her suitcase, and pulled out a drawing pad. She turned on the TV, and started drawing on the pad. She just sketched herself, and then sketched her two dorm mates. "I'll have to choose between them, sometime.." She tucked herself into bed and drifted off to sleep, leaving the pad on the bedside table. She mumbled to herself, "I never mean to hurt any pony.."

Blaze hadn't noticed what had occured untill he stopped to think about something. He looked down at the field and noticed her walking off. So he got and went to follow. He soon reached the dorm and went to get the handle but stopped. What if she didn't want to be disturbed? The room was silent. He knocked on the door. "Uhh. Hello, minty? Can I come in?"

Royal found himself back at his dorm, working on the solitaire game he started earlier.

If he was even half right about the love triangle he thought he saw, this year was going to be dramatic.

If there was one thing Royal liked, it was that spice of drama, the dirty details that gave him power.

While royal acknowledged his cruel rise to power, it wasn't like any cruel use arouse from it.

Not unless they did something that deserved it, of course.

 

Royal duly noted that another bag had appeared in the dorm, which meant the pony he was going to share this dorm with was already around as well. Royal figured it'd be another buff, block-head stallion who came for the drinking, but he entertained the thought it would be someone sensible, and fantasized it'd be some hot mare, with long flowing hair and googly eyes. He laughed at his childish dream, and looked over his game, where he maneuvered himself in a corner.

Rambler laughed along with her. He also- stealthily, hoping she wouldn't really notice- inched a little bit closer to her on the bed. "Sure, I'm always up for going out and looking for something to do. If we leave now, we could probably make it to a bar before there's any big evening rush, have the place practically all to ourselves for a while, make sure we're nice and buzzed when things start to liven up. Or there are probably some good parties going on tonight. Of course, whatever you want to do is fine by me. I'm pretty much up for anything."
