Minty

 

"Well, I'm ahead of all my classes at the moment.. it's a bit too easy so far. I guess it would be okay if I skipped class for one day.." Minty smiled. "Why do you ask? Do you need help unpacking?" Minty asked, looking down at her hooves sheepishly, not daring to make eye contact.

Storm

 

Storm had just woken up when she noticed that her snowflake clip in her mane wasn't there. "Where is it?" She mumbled to herself, then memories came flooding back from last night. She must've left it at the Delta House.. she trotted out of her room and headed towards the house.

Chase Trails

 

"Ugh...work brain, work! What day is it? Who am I? Where am I? What class do I have first today? And most importantly, what happened last night? Okay, its Thursday, I am Chase Trails, cross country star. I am at Pony U in the Delta Tau Delta Frat House. I have biochemistry 204 first today. And last night we had a party, which explains my headache. I helped out a crippled bro, and met an amazing mare.... what was her name? Oh, Storm, that's right! Okay, good no memory gaps, no dicks drawn on my chest in permanent marker... I think its all good!"

 

Prying his eyes open reluctantly, Chase rolled off the couch he had passed out on and crashed onto the floor. Rubbing his temples and groaning out of nausea, he stumbled to the bathroom. "Maybe Windy's onto something by not drinking enough to kill a Griffin every night... He never has to deal with these dammed hangovers..." he thought, tiredly brushing his teeth and gelling up his mane for the day. However, as he was turning to leave the bathroom, something caught his eye on the floor. It was a clip, the kind a mare would put in her hair. It seemed mildly familiar..... Shrugging, he levitated it up and into the pocket of his frat jacket. Leaving the bathroom, he sat down at the table to study for biochem, feeling too sick to even think of eating breakfast.

Redwave.

 

@,

 

"Unpacking..." Looking around into the room at the distinct lack of possessions he had brought, Redwave smirked to himself. "Not exactly. I was hoping that you might assist me in orientating myself on these grounds. The map they provided is less than useless - it is downright deceptive! There are no latitudes or longitudes, the distances are not to any discernible scale..."

 

Trailing off, he brought himself back on topic.

 

"Yes! I suppose that I need to find the location where I shall be studying... whatever it is I am to study..." He said with a slight shrug and a smirk.

Bubble Burst!

 

@,

 

"I guess you're right, your probably cutting it fine as it is - don't want to be late!"

 

Bubble might have been forgetful, absentminded and easily distracted; but one thing she was excellent at were emotions. Reading ponies - from their body language and facial expressions to the tones of their voice - came naturally to her and for every glaringly obvious mistake and oversight, there was an equally amazing deduction to be made (usually without knowing it).

 

The cheerful mare caught something unusual about Windy's expression - she made a mental note as she brushed past him and turned about.

 

"Uhm, you know where I'm staying..." She said. "... if you need anything."

Windy Runner

 

"You idiot! You're letting her walk out of here without giving her something to remember you by? You're an even bigger idiot than usual Windy! Can it brain, I'm debating if I should or shouldn't!"

 

Feeling slightly awkward, Windy chucked nervously, pawing at the floor with his front hoof. "Yeah, yeah, I'll be sure to swing by sometime soon....." he said, stepping closer to her and locking eyes. 

 

"C'mon you idiot, kiss her already! Do SOMETHING!!!"

 

Stepping even closer to Bubble, so that his muzzle was within inches of hers, he shut his eyes halfway.

 

"Hopefully she's interested and decides to close those last inches herself. If she's not, she'll just leave and I'll look like an idiot. Which I suppose is better than looking like a guy who kissed a mare who didn't want it." Windy thought nervously.

Minty

 

"Not all maps have to have latitudes and longitudes. Just the really complicated ones! Anyways, I was talking to some of my teachers last night, and they said that you joined a baking course..? I didn't know you liked baking," Minty smirked smugly.

Storm

 

Trotting up the steps to the Delta Frat House, Storm knocked on the door lightly, making sure not to wake anypony. "I sure hope they have the clip.."

[Eddie 23]

Eddie sat on the chair as he was looking for somepony to ask for directions, he got tired of waiting as

he got up and walked out of the building and decided to wait near the front entrance, hoping somepony will pass by "there better not be any stuck up rich ones here!..." he looked up at the building "maybe its class time? the mare said something about housing here too" he smile a little "opportunities opportunities, all over"

 

(hey could someone help me a little? i cant seem to follow the story, and i dont know who's doing what...pwease?)

Chase Trails

 

Perking his head up from his studies, Chase looked at the door. "Who is that at the door? Its morning, we don't have any parties going on here...."

 

Opening the door, his eyes widened. It was the mare from the night before, Storm. Immediately he lost a bit of his composure. "Oh... uh, hey! Storm, was it? How are you doing? What are you doing here?" 

[Ihei 714]

@,

 

Storm

 

"Um, I think I left my clip here last night. Have you seen it anywhere? It's a bit special to me," Storm said sheepishly, shifting from hoof to hoof. Somehow, that clip gave her her confidence in doing everything. Without it, she was practically nothing. 

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Bubble Burst!

 

@,

 

Debating for a moment what course of action she should take - only having met Windy the day before - Bubble finally mentally shrugged to herself.

 

'Why not? Because Cinder and Emerald don't want me to? They don't know: it's not like either of them know him!'

 

Smiling, she leaned forward - briefly meeting the colts mouth with her own before turning and skipping away cheerfully.

Redwave.

 

@,

 

"I..."

 

If he weren't white the colour would have drained out of Redwaves face. Of course he knew exactly what had happened: this was the result of allowing his foolish cousin and the mare with the explosives deal with the paperwork.

 

Bolting into the room, he snatched up the mass of paperwork and gawped in horror as his eyes scanned it.

 

"Minty... Would you hold it against me for long if I were to murder Scribe and Cinder in their sleep?" He muttered, raising a hoof to his face. "At least... heh, my parents would approve..."

Windy Runner

 

Standing stock still, Windy's body was frozen, but his brain was slipping back into gear. And it wasn't thinking good thoughts....

 

"....What was THAT?? I've been looking to kiss that mare since yesterday, and I finally get one, and its like that! No spark, no passion, nothing! Its like I was kissing a damp sponge. I was expecting I'd have such natural chemistry with her! I mean, she's pretty! I'm hot! What else could we possibly need? I mean, when Minty kissed me, even after a year together, there were fireworks! I felt a burning like I'd eaten a spicy pepper! But this....? This was nothing... What am I supposed to tell her? She likes me, or she wouldn't have kissed me! What do I say? Oh, well Bubble, I think you're cool, but yeah, you just didn't get my wings stiff and my heart going when we kissed?! What kind of a reason is that? ................I know! I'll fake it! I can trick myself into liking her.... eventually... just long enough to move on from Minty, then I'll break ties with Bubble and I'll have purged myself of Minty for good!"

 

Stumbling backwards, Windy slumped down into his chair. Pulling his personal mirror off the wall, he faked making smiles and happy expressions into it. "Fake it until you make it, that's what they tell us in business school. The same has gotta apply to life. Fake it till I make it!" he said, his resolve hardened. He would sell his deception to Bubble. There was no way she could see through him!

 

Chase Trails

 

"Oh! Your clip? Uh, yeah, yeah I think I've got it!" Chase said, eager to give the mare the thing she was looking for. "Here. I found this on the bathroom floor. Is it the clip you're looking for?" he said, levitating the clip out of his pocket in front of Storm's face.

Storm

 

"Thanks! I'll be on my way now. Phew, I thought I lost this thing for good!" Storm smiled, beginning to trot back to her room and go to sleep. 

 

@,

 

Minty

 

Minty laughed. "Well, I think it's nice that you're dealing with something that doesn't have to do with swords. It's okay, I won't let anypony make fun of you," Minty said, covering her muzzle to suppress a giggle. 

[Adente 1,000]

@,

 

Chase Trails

 

"Hey wait, Storm!" Chase said, hurrying down the steps after her. "Look, I wanted to talk to you last night, but you left before I could. Hey.... do you want to go get some breakfast with me? I know a nice place just down the ave. We could go get some food there, unless you have class soon?" he said, hoping she would want to stick around, if even for a little while. 

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Redwave.

@,

"There goes my reputation..." Redwave lamented only half jokingly as he glanced down at the empty space at his side where the sword in question was supposed to hang. So far - university had proven itself to be every bit as tedious and degrading as he had expected.

 

"So, practical jokes at my expense aside - courtesy of my kin - would you do me the honor of walking with me? I suppose I should at least locate this... baking class."

 

'Yes, every part as painful to say out loud as it is to hear...'

---------------

Bubble Burst!

'Well that was weird... Oh! Whats that over there?'

Had she not become distracted by something trivial on route to her own room, Bubble probably would have dwelt on Windy's unusual behavior some more. As it was though - she was more interested in the curiously colored birds that had crossed her path.

 

Forgetting what she was supposed to be doing, she followed them for a short while simply because she felt like it, before breaking off and heading back towards her room to change and pick up her belongings.

[Ihei 714]

@,

 

Storm

 

"Sure! That sounds like a blast! Should we get going now? I'm starving!" Storm chirped happily. "I don't have class today. I skip it a lot anyways!" Storm said, skipping down the block. "C'mon, you slowpoke! You're probably going to starve yourself to death the pace you're going!"

 

@, 

 

Minty

 

"Sure! It's nearby my art class. Don't worry: I won't make fun of you anymore." Minty winked, leading the stallion through the halls.

Following closely - perhaps more closely than was necessary - behind the mare whom he had shared many harsh words with a good number of months ago, Redwave scanned the halls suspiciously. He dislike the place: it felt constrictive: like a prison compared to the freedom of the sea. Still, Minty was there - which made things infinitively better.

 

"Hah!" He laughed in response. "You know enough of me already: so long as this never reaches Kingfisher or Bardic I shall be content to suffer though it."

[Ihei 714]

@,

 

Minty

 

"So, you're going to be suffering while you're with me?" Minty teased, smiling. "I can't believe you're embarrassed to be around me!" Minty said, pouting. They eventually reached the classroom after a few more minutes of talking. "Well, this is where your baking course is," Minty said, having to cough in between each word to suppress giggles. 

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@,

 

"... I am going to throw my cousin overboard partway on the journey to visit Bardic..." Red grumbled before shaking his head and managed to focus on the positives - finding a genuine smile for his... his friend?

 

'Stop lying to yourself captain.'

 

Truth be told, he didn't even know how he viewed the mint mare any more. Of course she had said earlier that she had a desire to be together but... was that perhaps because of her recent ordeals with this 'Windy'? Regardless: Redwave reolved to do everything he could for her - as a friend or otherwise.

 

"I suppose that this is where we depart for now... It has truly been a joyous experience Minty." He said. "I hope so catch up further soon, if it would please you to do so?"

[Adente 1,000]

Chase Trails

 

"haha wait up Storm!" he said, running after her down the sidewalk. "I may be the third best distance runner this school's got, but this is way too early for a workout!"  he laughed jokingly as he caught up. "Did you sleep well? Oh, and there's the place, right across the street there. See? I told you it wasn't far!" Chase said happily, inwardly doing cartwheels that Storm had accepted his invitation to breakfast so readily.

 

Windy Runner

 

Straightening his fraternity jacket in the mirror and slicking a bit more Hatchet hair gel through his mane, Windy left his dorm room, a slight smirk smearing his muzzle, heading for his class.

 

Political Economy was one of his favorite classes, and not just because he had charmed the professor into grading his projects easier by bribing him with front row soccer tickets for the season. It just geniunely interested him, and he could already picture himself ten years older, strutting the streets of Canterlot with a haughty grin and a trophy wife by his side, holding more money in his pocket than most rabble made in a year. Entering a building in the quad with the intention of using it as his favorite shortcut to the business quad, Windy turned a corner and saw two ponies a fair distance down the hall, and one of them seemed awfully familiar...

 

Realizing that the pony was Minty, with some random dude, Windy adopted an aloof look. He had to walk past these two, after all. Might as well do it quick. However, as he was approaching the two, he accidentally made eye contact with the red maned stallion Minty was obviously rebounding with. Giving the stallion a quizzical look, Windy asked, "Uh, hey bro? You must be new around here. Do I know you from somewhere? Weren't you and I on the same team in the Germaney Elite FC Training Camp last summer?"

Minty

 

"Of course! I'd love to see you later: I certainly don't have a problem with that." Minty smiled, but then noticed Windy trotting towards them. "Here comes trouble. Windy IS trouble." Minty sighed. "I doubt you've seen Red before."

 

Storm

 

"Then you don't work out much," Storm stuck out her tongue at Chase and stopped. "Should I pay?"

[ToughLuck 12]

"how long until class starts again?" the professor said anxiously "I can't wait to meet my students. I hope they like me, it's my first year so I'm sure there's room for error though...right?" even in trying to comfort himself Professor luck winced at the idea of his students dislike, after all he was a magic professor with only half of his horn.

Windy Runner

 

"Oh, so your name's Red? Pleasure to meet you Red. Windy Runner at your service." Windy said, extending a hoof to the stallion with a faintly content face hiding the thoughts going on underneath his gelled mane. 

 

"Wow. Red? That's not a name, that's a primary color! Is this the best Minty could do to replace me? Pathetic... He doesn't even come close to matching my physique. I'm way more toned and buff than him! And he's an earth pony, and yet he can't even out-muscle a glass canon pegasus like me? Ha, that's sad!"

 

 Chase Trails

 

"Aw c'mon Storm, give me a break! I just ran 12 miles yesterday, and you're saying I need to train more? If I train anymore, I'll never sleep!" he laughed jokingly, following the mare into the restaurant, and doing his utmost to be a gentlecolt and keep his eyes locked on the back of her ears, and nothing farther south than that. "As for payement, how about we just go Dutch and split it? That's fair."

"So this is 'Windy'?" Red said out loud but without direction as he looked at the colt - warm smile flicking to an icy glare of analysis. Ignoring the hoof, he leaned back to lounge against the wall.

 

'Truly? This is the foal that Mintatheena is so distressed about? I suppose that talent can be buried deep but... if that is the case then this may well be an Equestrian record... I doubt he has seen conflict beyond schoolyard bullying even.'

 

"Captain Redwave." He said. "Of the Dawn Dreamer. It would appear I am to frequent this establishment."

[Ihei 714]

@,@,

 

Minty

 

Minty slowly backed away. She sensed that a fight was going to happen: she's been through enough of them to know when they're coming. "I'll, um.. be going now.." Minty mumbled, and dashed up the street to her apartment.

 

Storm

 

"Uh, okay! I have a few bits on me, but I have to admit that I'm broke.." Storm sighed, but still in a cheery mood.

Windy Runner

 

"Look at her run.... pathetic.... Now, time to get to know the Red Skipper here... Who won't even shake hooves with me."

 

Frowning slightly at Redwave's standoffish posture, Windy continued, "Oh, so you are new here? Hope you enjoy Pony U man! Although, word of advice, you don't need to talk all stuffy like that. You know, instead of 'frequenting this establishment' you could just say 'yeah, I'm going to college here I guess' or something like that. You get what I mean? Also, are you interested in Greek Life? Depending on how talented you are, there's lots of frats that would want to scoop you up. If you're good enough, maybe you could join mine." he said, indicating the Greek letters embossed onto his jacket.

 

Chase Trails

 

"Oh... you're broke? Um, if it would make it easier, I can pay for you this time, you know, if you want to." Chase said slightly nervously. "And don't worry, I won't expect you to pay me back in any way, its my pleasure!"

[Ihei 714]

@,

 

Storm

 

"Uh, are you sure? It's not that hard to make bits; I can lend you a few of them to pay." Storm said, tilting her head. "Your pleasure, huh? Well, I can't argue with that fact," Storm said, trotting into the cafe and sitting at a table. Storm gave the stallion a few bits and trotted away too quickly for him to argue.
