Today's Horoscope (Virgo): Nobody can run away from their mistakes.
Early Morning
Twilight and I walk to school with Sonata.
"I hope...you won't be too stressed out at school today," Twilight says. "After...after some of the stuff you saw in Zodiac."
Sonata sighs.
Whoever was texting all that stuff...they're not my friends and they never will be, and they're not worth worrying about.
"That bit about...you know...joking about what they could do to you and you not be able to call for help..." I feel absolutely sickened by that. "That really bothers me."
Sonata smiles sadly and shrugs, then reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small, bright orange device.
"Is...is that a Stranger Danger siren?" Twilight asks.
Sonata nods happily.
Mommy made me start carrying it when I was seven. I've carried it ever since.
"Well, that's...good to know..."
After School
After my last class, I run into Juan.
"Well hello, Flash Sentry! Ever the busy little beaver, aren't you?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Oh, you know," he says vaguely, waving a hand. "Boosting a sad girl's spirits, participating in clubs and teams, going fishing with your friends..." He tilts his head. "Or maybe not that last one? I'll admit to being a bit out of sorts." He pops his back. "Old age. Rheumatism. I'm not the man I used to be." He grins. "So...Spring Break is coming up. Are you making plans with your little friends?"
"As a matter of fact, we're going away for the week."
He nods thoughtfully. "Good, good...a change of scenery will do you and your friends wonders. Especially with all the negative energy floating around this school, harshing your vibes, blocking your chakras..." He stops, then chortles. "Forgive me, I caught a girl named Tree Hugger smoking marijuana on campus this morning. Her...rather abstract way of speaking is infectuous."
"Tree Hugger...isn't she that hippie chick that's always stoned?"
"Yes...she claims it's medicinal." Juan shrugs. "Rather convenient excuse, if you ask me." He looks around, then leans close. "Just between us...I stole her stash." He chuckles. "Well...I'm sure you have more important things to do than stand around gabbing with an old man. Do take care of yourself!" He wanders off, whistling aimlessly to himself.

I shake my head and leave school.
Evening
When I get back to the dorm, I head up to my room. It's really stuffy and muggy; today's been unseasonably warm, yesterday's rains made today really humid, and my room is stifling. I grab my guitar and amp and head down to the lounge, which isn't as bad.
I'm the only one who doesn't have stuff to do on Monday afternoon, so I have the lounge to myself for almost an hour. By the time I'm done with guitar practice and getting started on my homework, the others are just getting back. As soon as Rainbow Dash and Vice-Principal Luna arrive, they go upstairs, change into their usual overly-casual clothes, pad back down to the lounge barefoot, and fire up their games. I watch them play for a while, laughing at their back-and-forth banter. When they take a break to get a drink, a thought occurs to me. "Hey, Rainbow. Remember what you were talking about a few weeks ago?"
"Huh? What about?" Rainbow asks as she sips a glass of juice.
"You were saying something about maybe trying to set Principal Celestia up with your dad."
"Oh, that," Rainbow says. She eyes Luna warily.
Luna perks up. "Oh?" She turns to Rainbow with interest. "You're looking to do a little matchmaking?"
Rainbow ducks her head and blushes. "W-well, I..." She sighs. "It's a stupid idea..."
"I wouldn't say that," Luna says. "Celestia's never had a steady boyfriend for longer than three weeks in her life. I can't even remember the last time she got laid. Between us, I'd be more than happy to see her find somebody to make her happy."
"Whoa. She's..." Rainbow trails off. "How is that even possible? Guys oughtta be linin' up for miles for a woman like that!"
"It's...it's my fault, actually," Luna says. She looks into her glass. "Because of something...very, very foolish I did when I was younger...Celestia can't have children."
That's right...
Luna stabbed Celestia when they were younger...
I've seen the scars...
"She...can't?" Rainbow asks.
Luna shakes her head. "Her right ovary and her uterus were both so severely damaged, the doctors had to..." She sighs. "In any case, it's...it's taken a toll on her love life. She doesn't want to get close to a man, because she...because she feels like she'll be rejected if they find out she can't have children."
"Dude," Rainbow breathes.
Luna bows her head. Tears are gathering in her eyes. "It's all my fault. She should be happy and have a husband and kids of her own, not..." She sniffles.
"Well I don't think my dad would care about that," Rainbow says with a shrug. "I mean, he's already got me, and I'm all the kid anybody needs." She frowns. "Besides, he's..."
"He's what?" Luna asks.
Rainbow sits down. "I'm not really supposed to let this out, but...Dad's about to retire. His left ankle's had problems with stress fractures, and his trainer told him he doesn't have another season in him. He wants out while he's still at his peak."
"Sensible," Luna says.
"So...so by the time I'm a senior, Dad's gonna be back in Canterlot to stay," Rainbow says. "I mean, I'm still gonna stay at th' dorm, just because I like it here, but I'll be able to see Dad whenever I want. At least...until I go off to college. Then he'll be, well..."
"Alone?"
"Yeah."
Luna nods. "I only know your father by reputation. I've never met him. I do seem to recall he's rather handsome..." She taps her chin thoughtfully. "A dashing retired footballer..." A smile slowly spreads across her face. "Yes, I do believe I'll help you set them up."
Rainbow grins. "Awesome!"
I can feel how much Luna loves her sister, and how much pain and remorse she still feels over what she did years ago...

They go back to their game, and I finish my homework.
At dinner, we talk more about our trip to Haytona. Luna comments on how envious she is of us, and tells us a long, rambling anecdote about a college Spring Break trip she and Celestia took to Mexicolt. By the time she's a third of the way through her story, Applejack has removed Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle from the dining room, Rarity looks scandalized, Sonata is blushing furiously, and Rainbow looks like Christmas just came again.
As for me, well...I just hope nobody notices the boner I'm toting around.
After dinner, I'm headed upstairs when Pinkie wraps her arms around me from behind, grabbing my crotch.
"I can help you with that," she whispers huskily.
For once, I can't think of a single reason not to have sex with Pinkie Pie. I take hold of her hands, give them a squeeze, and guide her upstairs with me to my room.
As soon as we're behind closed doors, Pinkie starts stripping off her clothes. God, she's hot...
I spend a few minutes playing with her breasts and her ass, kissing her and stroking her, rubbing her crotch. She moans and undoes my pants, letting them drop to the floor, and grabs my dick, stroking and teasing me. I already feel like I'm about to explode...
Pinkie bends over the bed, raising her ass in the air and wiggling it at me. I reach into the drawer in the closet where I keep my condoms and grab one, hurriedly unwrapping it and putting it on. Pinkie watches me over her shoulder.
"Are you sure you want it like this?" I ask.
"Uh-huh. I want it hard and naughty," she says. She makes sultry bedroom eyes at me.
I approach her, grab her ass, and rub my dick against her slit. She moans and thrusts her ass back against me. I prod her, then enter her, just a little bit at first. She gasps. I slowly hilt myself, then start slowly fucking her. She moans and gasps and bucks against me, pulling me in.
I'm so near climax that I don't bother taking my time. As soon as I'm sure she can take me, I pound her as hard and fast as I can. She cries out and gasps and moans as I hilt myself over and over again, the sound of skin slapping against skin ringing out in the room.
I come a lot sooner than I want to, then pull out and sit down on the bed next to her. She flops forward with a sigh. "That...was amazing," she says. She pushes herself up and kisses me. "Thank you," she says.
"I'm just sorry I didn't last very long."
She giggles. "Yeah, you were pretty close already. Don't worry about it. We'll do it nice and slow next time."
The door opens, and Twilight peeks in. "Did I miss sex?"
"Yeah, you missed it," Pinkie says.
"Darn," Twilight says. "Well, g'nite." She closes the door again.
It's too sticky and stuffy in here to get worked up again, so I strip the covers off the bed and flop down. Pinkie stretches out beside me. It takes forever to fall asleep...
