Today's Horoscope (Virgo): You can't run away from your problems. They'll catch up with you.

After School

Music Club...

Octavia's a no-show today, too.

"How's Octavia doing?" I ask Vinyl.

She shrugs. "Well, for now, she's still stayin' at my place, and she's always real tired and pissed when she gets back from her sessions, but I think they're makin' progress." Vinyl shrugs. "My mom went out for coffee with her mom yesterday. She says they had a really long talk. She says Tavi's mom blamed me for screwin' everything up, an', well...she told Tavi's mom that this was coming whether I was part of it or not, because nobody likes havin' their life controlled like that." Vinyl scratches her nose. "Apparently, that's exactly what the therapist said, too. She says they have a word for it in Neighjing. Tiger moms." She grins. "Tavi says her mom got this really stung look on her face at that. Apparently, her own mom is from Neighjing."

"Huh. Wonder if her mom did that to her..."

"Probably."

I talk with Vinyl some more, then practice my guitar until time to go back to the dorm.

Evening

At dinner, everybody's excited and restless.

"One more week!" Rainbow yells. "This time next week, we'll be packin' up to go to Haytona!"

"Yay," Fluttershy says softly and sarcastically. Celestia glances at her sharply, and she ducks her head. "Oh, umm...I just...don't like leaving all our critters with strange people..."

"Uhh...we're takin' all our pets with us," Rainbow says.

"Oh. We are? I didn't know..."

"You know, your birthday's during Spring Break," Twilight says to Fluttershy. "Is there anything...special you want?"

"I don't...really want anything," Fluttershy says.

"You'll be...seventeen, right?" Celestia asks.

"Yes," Fluttershy says meekly.

Applejack chuckles. "Yep, you an' me, the oldest two here..."

"Wow, Fluttershy! Your birthday spankings are gonna HURT!" Pinkie says with a mischevious grin.

Fluttershy narrows her eyes at Pinkie. "Try it," she whispers.

"Girls," Celestia says mildly. She's giving Fluttershy an odd look...

After dinner, I help Apple Bloom with her homework, then watch TV until I'm ready for bed.
