Today's Horoscope (Virgo): In folklore, the season of winter has always been associated with death. Keep this in mind.

After School

Exams are finally over. Tomorrow is the last day of school for the semester...

I meet up with my friends at the entrance so we can walk home together.

"Man, I'm glad that's over!" Rainbow says. "I am so over this testing crap!"

"I hope I did alright..." Twilight says.

"Of course you did alright! You're the top egghead!" Rainbow says.

"That last exam was an absolute nightmare," Rarity says.

"Cheer up, everybody! Winter break's almost here!" Pinkie says.

"Heheh, yeah! Two whole weeks of nothing to do but have fun!" Rainbow cheers.

"Two and a half weeks," Twilight points out.

"Even better!"

We discuss exams a bit more as we approach the dorm. Once we're there, we all decide to veg out in front of the TV until dinnertime...

Evening

Nobody feels like cooking, so we pool our resources and order pizza.

Vice-Principal Luna asks us all how our exams went. She endures our complaining with good humor. "I always hated final exams when I was your age," she says.

Principal Celestia shows up just as we're all full and sleepy. "Hello, everyone! I have an announcement. A new transfer student will be moving into this dorm after Christmas."

"A new transfer student?" Twilight asks.

"That's right," Celestia says. "I've been in conference with her family most of the day today." She gives me a sympathetic glance. "I'm sorry, but...you'll have to put up with a girl sharing the third floor with you."

I shrug. "This is new how?"

"We should throw her a welcome party!" Pinkie says. "Oh! What's her name? Where's she from?"

"I'll introduce her to you all when she arrives," Celestia says, smiling. "She does have one thing in common with Flash Sentry, though. She's from Seaddle."

Another transfer student from Seaddle...?

"Whoa. What are the odds?" Rainbow asks.

After that, Celestia leaves, and the girls begin speculating about the new transfer student. They pester Luna for details, but she doesn't seem to know anything about it.

Not long after dinner, I get a call from my parents. I head upstairs to talk to them for a bit, then read a comic book before bed.
