2015
Today's Horoscope (Virgo): You'll find yourself with a lot to think about today.
Early Morning
My wrist doesn't hurt as much this morning as it did yesterday, but it's still a bit sore. I'll have to be careful at the tennis matches today.
After breakfast, Cadance says, "Let me check that wrist for you."
We head upstairs, Twilight following us. Once we're all in my room, Cadance begins examining my wrist...but that's not the reason we're up here.
"Is it true?" Twilight asks. "Sunset Shimmer runs the horoscope app?"
"According to Principal Celestia," I say. "And she's into astrology."
Cadance frowns. "That's...disturbing," she says. "It's...connecting a lot of dots."
"Whatever Zodiac is, I'm more sure than ever that Sunset Shimmer has something to do with it," I say. "It would explain why Twilight was attacked, and those creepy messages."
"And that death horoscope," Twilight adds.
"Well...this helps with the Zodiac investigation, even though it raises a lot more questions," Cadance says. "But..." She sighs. "It still doesn't help solve anything. We can't go to Celestia with this because she'll think we're insane, and..."
"If we try to go after Sunset Shimmer ourselves, we'll be the ones in trouble," Twilight says. "Yeah...all this does is give us a real reason to be afraid of her."
"I'm not afraid of her," I say. "I'm pissed. I want to find something we can use to end her."
"We will," Twilight says. "But right now, you just need to worry about tennis."
Daytime
As soon as I arrive at the tennis courts, Coco undoes the tape job Cadance did on my wrist this morning and tapes my wrist with what looks to be some very expensive, professional-grade sports tape.
Today's matches go much better than last week. At the end of the day, our team wins by five points. Afterward, the team goes out to celebrate.
Evening
At dinner, Rarity abruptly asks, "What are everyone's plans for Halloween?"
"Oh crap, I totally forgot!" Rainbow Dash says.
I'd also forgotten, and it's only a week away.
"There's a Halloween party in the school gym next Saturday night," Pinkie says. "I'm taking off work next week to help set up for it. You'll all come, right?"
"Of course!" Rainbow Dash says. "I might even be off these crutches by then!"
"Wouldn't miss it," I say. "Right, Twilight?"
"We'll definitely be there," Twilight says. "Now we just need to decide what kind of costumes we want to wear..."
"I'll be more than happy to help everyone with their costumes," Rarity says. "I'm not sure how much I can do on such short notice, but..."
We all decide to sleep on it, then talk to Rarity individually tomorrow about our costume ideas.
