"All I see is that one mare hit another, and this isn't what friends do, now is it?" Ferrarity glared angrily at Candi then looked at Air. "Tell me what happened, and don't leave out anything. Then we'll see what the problem is with her."

"All I see is that one mare hit another, and this isn't what friends do, now is it?" Ferrarity glared angrily at Candi then looked at Air. "Tell me what happened, and don't leave out anything. Then we'll see what the problem is with her."
Air found herself staring into her room at a pony she almost didn't recognise anymore refusing to enter under her own discretion.
"Candi ... I-I didn't want things to be like this ..."
She said with tears almost welling up in her eyes as she looked over at her Marefriend.
"... I-I ... don't ... "
Ferrarity sighed seeing Air wasn't going to say anything at the moment. She turned back looking at Candi with and angry glare as she stepped towards her. "I don't know what's gotten into you, but you better not touch her again, or you'll have me to deal with." She turned and whipped Candi's muzzle with her tail as she made her way out the room. "I hope that foal of yours turns out better then you."
((I need to start looking at the OoC thread before posting more... Sorry...))
Megabyte wore a content smile on her face while she trotted along the sidewalk with Peeps, it had been a marvelous day and it was a shame it was already coming to its end. She wished it could last forever. She stopped in front of the doors to the dormitory with her companion, looking at the red mare with happy eyes. "Of course we can do this again. Tomorrow sounds wonderful." She replied with a smile while inching closer to the other pony. I know it's customary to kiss after a date, but would she think I'm going to fast if I did that...? But if I don't? She might think I'm cold and might not like me anymore... Oh... She thought to herself, trying her best to avoid throwing herself into another panic, her attempts at calming herself down keeping her from realizing how long she had been staring at Peeps.
Silver had just left the room as Ferr brushed past him in a fit of rage, kicking open Candi's door. Stunned, he stood just out of sight outside the door, listening in on the whole exchange. When Ferr whipped her tail across Candi's muzzle, his wings fluttered and he growled slightly, standing right behind Ferr with a scowl on his face, blocking her exit. When she turned around and faced the slightly larger stallion, he kept standing there in the doorway, staring her down, "It's a principle of mine to not hit mares.... But when one hits my marefriend, there are less physical ways of hurting them..."
Silver sighed, and loosened up slightly, still visibly displeased but with a more caring look in his eye, "I don't want it to come to that... Could perhaps Candi be allowed to explain her side? Without any derogatory remarks?" On that last bit Silver glanced over at Candi, knowing she was defienetly angry.
"I would love to explain how Air insulated my foal and my entire situation! I didn't ask to be pregnant of abandoned! When you two started this little experiment," she indicated to Air and Ferr, "I never said one mean thing, I never mentioned how it would break Flares heart or took a jab at how fast you two took it, no I was nothing but supportive. You know why? Because it was something neither you or Air could control, it was love. So little miss boo whoo over there can say what she wants about me but she may not talk about my baby like that!!!"
She stomped the ground and lowered her head, however one look at Silver calmed her down and she stood straighter.
Silver was starting to get peeved, just wanting Candi to calm down and just explain exactly what happened. It showed in his expression and tone as he started to get worked up, "No, Candi. That is NOT what I meant. Tell her how YOU insulted her first. How YOU wouldn't apologize for what she said. How YOU threw the ONLY blow. Air had her moments too. She only made it WORSE! Now, Will you PLEASE explain calmly and politely?" Silver paused and breathed heavy for moment, then continued, "You know what? There's your answer Ferr. You want Details? Ask them." Silver turned and started walking out the door, "Now if you EXCUSE me, I have a class I need to fume through."
Silver left, mumbling angrily about "Friggen Mares can't have a decent discussion," then slammed the door behind him, not giving any regard to the ponies living around them, and left straight for his first class, still angry at the group of mares.
((OOC @Megabyte: I did the same thing. No need to apologize to me. :giggle: I'm going to finish up the date and post in the current time, in your response could you split it up that way too so I can see your response to the date's ending and then we can also be caught up?))
Peeps swallowed audibly and leaned forward most of the way to kiss Megabyte, but she waited in suspended animation. Her breath caught, and she made no noise or inching movement. It was as if she were frozen in anticipation of Megabyte accepting her kiss, like the drumroll before a stunt in a circus act.
*Fast Forward*
Peeps rolled out of her bed, mane messy and puffed around her head. She blinked the drowsy clouds from her eyes. She brushed her teeth, and grabbed her saddlebags. She set out into the hallway, still wearing fluffy PJs with her hair wild around her head. It is time for me to break my night's fasting. I shall have time to perfect my appearance when I return. As Peeps trotted down the hallway she swirled the butter colored streaks in her hair around her hoof idly making it stick out of the wild scarlet nest in oldly smooth curls.
Ferrarirty stopped in front of Silver, looking at him without being intimidated. "I don't think I'm going to get anything out of her, though I'd like to hear the story of what had transpired." She looked a Candi, squinting her eyes. "You really think I like the idea of breaking another's heart? Yes I was feeling guilty as I felt I sole Air from another, but that doesn't mean you have right to hit her. You hit her hard enough to draw blood, that's enough to say you're threatening her life, you might have killed her if you hit her any harder." She stopped to take a breath, keeping her angered gaze locked on Candi. "Now somepony spill the story, I'm not going to ask again."
Intimidated by the entire situation, Air sat still in her position outside the door listening to every word and event Transpired ...
Silver's almost defending words shocked her slightly from her state causing her to glance up at him leaving ...
She subtly rose from her seated position and began to pursue the stallion nervously from a distance ...
I have to talk to him ...
She thought taking one last glance at the two squabbling Mares behind her frowning as she did ...
Candi laughed loudly, "Almost killed her?! You do know we have HOOVES right?! They are sharp, it doesn't take much to make somepony bleed!" As Silver yelled at her she sighed deeply, this was all becoming too much. She charged Ferr in an attempt to back her up, she stopped the door and slammed it shut. With all the others in the hall she put her back against the door and took a deep breathe.
"Geez, what a drama queen!"
"That's all the more reason you shouldn't have hit her in the first place. And if that's how you want it, fine, we're done. I don't want to see your face around me, or hear you hit Air again, or it WILL be personal." She hit the door once, then trotted off down the hall to her room in a huff. "Perhaps Arp was right about her."
Silver stood for a second just outside his door, and let out a heavy sigh, trying to release all the tension he had just built up. This is no way to live my life... Hearing hoofsteps behind him, he glanced back and saw Air. Turning around with a weak smile, he addressed her rather plainly, "Can I help you Air? Heh, I can imagine having two other mares fighting over you can be tough..."
((Of course I'll do that. :giggle: ))
Megabyte felt her cheeks slowly warm up as her heart raced, time feeling as if it was slowing down around her. Looking right at Peeps, she slowly moved forward and placed her muzzle gently on that of her marefriend's, wings flaring outward as the two kissed to lay the final cap onto their perfect first date. Pulling back after a few moments, the pegasus gave Peeps a gentile smile.
*Fast forward*
Megabyte grumbled to herself as she pulled her blanket over her head to escape the rude sun that had awoken her, trying all her might to get back to sleep. She hadn't been able to get much sleep the night before while her thoughts had been racing through everything she had been up to the day before, so many happy thoughts. Eventually giving up on her hopes of returning to the world of sleep, she slowly climbed out of bed and dropped to her hooves. She moved away from her bed to brush her teeth, leaving her somewhat messy hair for later. All she cared about was getting something in her belly to help her wake up.
Air dipped her head with a slight nod to indicate her agreement, she wanted to talk with Silver but as usual her nerves, which had not been helped by the previous events of the day had gotten the better of her, and reduced her to a stuttering mess.Quote:

She said at an almost inaudible volume.
Silver's smile melting into a caring one hearing how nervous Air was. He went and sat next to her, giving her a friendly bump, "No, it's not your fault.... they're just dragging out some petty squabble.... Candi's being stubborn, and Ferr's trying to defend you... nothing about that is your fault..." Silver needed to get to class, but he couldn't just sit there and watch a mare mope around.
Ferrarity reached her room, flinging the door open angrily then slamming it shut. She flopped on her bed in a huff, crossing her forelegs. "Some friend, but not one anymore." She muttered to herself thinking about what happened, Candi certainly wasn't herself when she met her before.
Air still continued to shy away from looking directly at Silver but his bump gave her a small giggle which she savoured every second of ...Quote:

She muttered with a small rub of her cheek ...
Silver smiled at Air's little giggle, feeling happy that he's helping a little bit, "Candi kinda started it though, and she made it physical... She shouldn't have hit you..." He gave her a friendly nuzzle, wanting to cheer her up a bit more. "Ferr's kinda overreacting as well... which isn't helping... I'm gonna have to play damage control... again."
Peeps passed room 215, but stopped herself, pivoting on her hoof to trot up to the door. She rapped on the door to Megabyte's room and smiled as she thought about how nice it would be to see her again. She stood there lost in a daydreamy haze with an odd smile on her face, completely forgetting the fairly embarrassing state of her appearance. Her mind was clouded with swirling thoughts Megabyte, and breakfast, and breakfast with Megabyte, Megabyte for breakfast? Peeps started a little at the really odd thought and shook her head making the puffy mass of scarlet mane bounce comically, while the curly butter-coloured stripes hung at odd angles.
Air felt i light tickle of Silver's Nuzzle against her cheek causing a small smile to appear on her face. She raised her gaze from the floor and up to Silver's face revealing her smile to show him his help."I think Ferr's only trying to protect me ... It's almost sweet of her to want to protect me this much."
She sighed keeping her head facing Silver but tilted her eyes away from his.
"You're a really kind Colt ... You know that?"
Megabyte retrieved her glasses from their resting place on top of the dresser and gently placed them onto her face. Able to see perfectly, she slowly trotted towards the door, leaving her saddlebags where they were since she would be back to the room. Unaware of anypony being behind the door, she opened it up and casually moved out, pausing as her muzzle bumped into Peeps'. She had to take a moment to realize what had happened in her sleepy state, eventually backing up a step with a rosy blush on her cheeks. "G-good morning Peeps." She said quietly, giving her marefriend a soft smile to try and get attention away from the fact that she had bumped her yet again. That and her own frazzled look of just rolling out of bed. "Did you sleep well?"
Silver smiled slightly wider as he saw he was actually helping out, lifting his spirits some as well, making him forget about the fight only moments ago. "Heh, thanks, I try," Silver responds with a slight chuckle and a little blush, "Gets me into more trouble then it's worth sometimes..."
Air lent over and wrapped her wing around Silver squeezing hesitantly.Quote:

She stuttered nervously as a light embarrassed blush flushed Air's cheeks ...
"... I'm glad we're friends."
Silver blushed even redder as Air squeezed him with her wings, leaning a bit into her as well,
"Y-ya... I'm glad we're friends too..."
Feeling Silver lean into her the tension almost disappeared causing her to melt into Silver's shoulder and releasing a relaxed sigh, after the prior events a hug was just what she needed ... Even if it was slightly awkward.Quote:

She asked awkwardly maintaining her soft lean.
"... A-Am i just a hussy? ... Like Candi s-said ..."
"Well...." Silver seriously thought about it, wrapping a hoof around Air as he looked at the floor, "You are who you make yourself to be... it doesn't matter what others think of you." Silver looked at Air, giving her a slight squeeze with a foreleg around her, "That's the only reason I'm not a total introvert... why I was able to get together with Candi..."
He sighed heavily, wondering how his dream and his actions would effect their relationship, then realized with a slight start, that he was going to be late. Giving Air a quick, tight squeeze, he stood up, said relatively calmly, "Don't beat yourself up too much about it... It'll blow over soon..." and gave her an impulsive kiss on the forehead, making him stop for a second, blush in embarrassment, then rush off down the hall.
Air jumped a little as Silver kissed her gently, causing her wings to extend suddenly.
It was only on the forehead, but it was still a kiss, which was still more.than enough to stun Air.
"Uh ... Umm ..."
As Silver hastily made his retreat Air's cheeks grew a darker red than before, she stood back up and made a few slight steps in his direction before lowering her head a little with a small yet confused smile.
Red sprinted into the classroom for Music Theory right as the bell rung. She was a tad late because she had gotten the room wrong and walked into the wrong class.
"Whew, that was close." she muttered to herself.
Ferrarity laid in her bed still, thinking about what had transpired earlier today, still will an unamused look on her face. She rolled around feeling uneasy about it all, she certainly didn't want to see Candi again, that was for sure. Though a moment later her stomach interrupted her thoughts as it growled. "Either my stomach is also angry, or I need to go eat breakfast." *sigh* She gets out of bed and trots out her dorm room, still having the same unamused look as she closes her room door and trots towards the food court.
Peeps chuckled and wrapped her forelegs around Megabyte to turn the, now almost customary bump, into a warm embrace. She smoothed Megabyte's hair from her face and placed a kiss precisely in the centre of her forehead. "I slept about as well as I ever do, which is not well I am afraid. My mind tends to take any down time as time to think through things that I have yet to consider fully. Even if those things I end up considering are less than important." Peeps smiled blearily and yawned a little and her hoof returned to claim the butter coloured curl and began twisting it yet again. "Would you mind very much if I requested your company for the breaking of my fast this morning?"
Megabyte smiled as she was embraced by her marefriend, feeling her cheeks warm up from the kiss placed on her forehead. "Sounds like my usual attempts at trying to get to sleep. I could be the most tired filly in the world, but my mind would just race and keep me up." She replied with a slight giggle added to the end. With a smile and a light nod, she accepted the offer. "That sounds wonderful. Sharing a nice breakfast with the perfect pony."
Peeps leaned backward and propped Megabyte's door open. She indicated the open hallway with a sweeping motion of one foreleg as she stepped backward to allow her marefriend to trot by her. Peeps smiled deviously to herself. This simultaneously makes me look chivalrous and affords me a good look at her hindquarters. Peeps snickered impishly then caught herself snapped her mouth shut abruptly.
Ferrarity made it to the food court, taking in the fresh scent of the just cooked breakfast spread that was put out. "Ah, smells like morning. Hopefully some food will help me to forget about Candi." She grabbed a tray and started selecting the items she wanted, some scrambled eggs, fruit and english muffins with a carton of milk to go with it. She took her food to an empty table, carefully balancing it on her back as she made her way through the small crowd of ponies walking around, be careful not to bump into anypony and spill her food. She makes it to the table without dropping a thing and starts eating what's on her plate. Though it was still difficult to get Candi out of her head, but she tried to ignore it. It wasn't much like her to be angry, but this was something different that made her infuriated.
Book Smart sat at the front of the Lecture hall, sitting with a book on the desk she leaned on her elbow with a hoof on her cheek, using her magic to flip through it with a bored expression on her face. It was nearly time for her lecture, and she had been directed to teach a certain topic because of certain... disturbances around the dorm rooms. How they figured out what what was going on, she would never know, and it wasn't her place to ask.
Air crept through the doors to the lecture hall slightly earlier than meant to, she couldn't bare heading back to her room, Candi would be there ...
The doors made a barely audible click as Air carefully made her way to the back of the room seating herself in the back right corner and cowered slightly from the Stern looking Mare at the front of the hall ...
Ferrarity swallowed the last bite of her food, washing it down with the last of her milk. "Ah!" *burp* She covered her mouth, blushing a bit from the sudden burp, looking around to see if anypony heard, which thankfully none did. "Hehe, 'scuse me." She said to herself for good measure. She got up and took her tray over to be disposed of then looked at the clock. "Hm, almost time for that 'Surviving College' class. *sigh* Just sitting through a boring ol lecture. Ah well, it's an easy A." She sped off out the food court towards the class, stopping just outside the door and trotted in, seeing the teacher/professor ((I'm not sure which to say :shrug: )) there flipping through a book, not looking in a good mood. She shrugged and looked for a seat, she giggled when she saw a little blue lump sulking in the corner. She made her way over to Air silently, then when she got close enough she asked. "This seat taken?"
"Umm ... Of course not ..."
She whispered pulling the chair with a loud creak ...
Air's eyes shot over to the mare at the front of the room who was bound to have heard the noise cringing as she did ...
Air couldn't help but feel nervous around this tutor((?)), something about the way she shouted sent undescribable chills down her spine ...
After a long while of laying in bed Candi pulled herself up and dragged herself to her desk. She was too angry to worry about how she looked or anything of that nature, so she threw her saddlebag over her back and pranced out of the room towards class. The closer she got to class, the slower her pace became. It was a sure thing that Air, Ferr, and Silver were all going to be in this class. For a moment her thoughts drifted to Prank, the last time she had been in this class she had sat next to him, however she had heard the rumor the mean stallion had dropped out. Well, I guess thats one thing I dont have to worry about...., she thought to herself with a heavy sigh. Outside the lecture hall doors, she stopped and took a deep breathe, she had meant for it to be calming but found herself more panicked.
I can do this! I CAN DO THIS! What do I have to be afriad of anyway, Ferr? Ha! " Giggling to herself she entered the room and strode down the center towards the front desks with her head raised hight and a pep in her step. She chose a seat a few rows back from the front and settled in.
