Today's Horoscope (Virgo): Be attentive to the moods and needs of your loved ones today.

Early Morning

At breakfast, Rainbow Dash is bouncing excitedly in her seat.

"You okay, Rainbow?" Twilight asks.

"Dad's coming home today!"

"That's wonderful, darling!" Rarity says. She frowns. "I don't suppose this means you're moving back home?"

Rainbow shakes her head. "Nah. I talked it over with Dad. I've got lots of reasons to stay put at the dorm, and he understands. Besides, I'll still see plenty of him now that he's back in town, and...well..." She makes a face. "He's...gonna have his hands full for a while anyway, with reporters and meetings with his lawyers and his agent and all that stuff." She brightens. "Oh, but I invited him over to the dorm for dinner tonight!"

"I look forward to seeing him," Celestia says.

After School

Tennis practice...

After practice, Coach Chrysalis reminds the girls that they need to be at the school early tomorrow for the bus to this weekend's matches.

On the way back to the dorm, Pinkie says, "You know, you still owe me a date. I was thinking Sunday. Well, I was thinking tonight, but since we gotta be up at the crack of dawn to go play tennis, and we won't get back until really late tomorrow and I'll be super-tired..."

"Sunday sounds good to me," I say.

"Great!" Pinkie kisses me on the cheek.

Evening

When I get back to the dorm, Rarity and Fluttershy ask for my help in the kitchen. The whole time we're making dinner, Fluttershy goes out of her way to tease us. She isn't mean about it, but it is embarrassing, and Rarity grows increasingly frazzled with her.

"Flash," Rarity says, "would you mind terribly putting something in her mouth to shut her up?"

"Don't give this perv any ideas, Rarity," Fluttershy says, sticking her tongue out at me.

I grab a dinner roll and shove it in Fluttershy's mouth. She blinks dazedly at me. Rarity covers her mouth and giggles.

When we're done cooking, we find the others in the lounge entertaining Rainbow's dad. "Dinner's ready, everyone!" Rarity calls.

Everyone heads to the dining room while the three of us lay out dinner. All through dinner, Celestia and Blaze are playfully flirting with each other. The rest of us watch, amused.

After dinner, Celestia and Blaze head over to Cadance and Shining Armor's apartment to have a drink and talk some more while the rest of us clean up. "I'll be out most of the day tomorrow," Rainbow says. "Gonna spend the day hangin' with Dad."

"If he doesn't make other plans with Principal Celestia," Twilight says.

Rainbow laughs. "Nah, we've already got plans tomorrow. Besides, Celestia already said she's not gonna monopolize Dad. He did just get back, and I haven't seen him since New Year's. We're gonna have a little Daddy-Daughter Day!"

"That's great," Pinkie says with a sad smile. "I'm...gonna go to bed. Gotta be up early..."

We all watch her go. Rainbow frowns. "Oh man...did I say something wrong?"

Twilight shakes her head. "I think..." She sighs. "Well, every now and then, after seeing one of us with our parents, Pinkie gets a little...down. You know, because her own parents..."

"Oh." Rainbow's shoulders sag. "Poor Pinkie..."

"She'll be okay," Twilight says. "I'd better go cheer her up, though." She yawns. "Maybe I'll spend the night cuddling with her." She waves and heads upstairs.

Rainbow shakes her head and smirks at me. "Well...looks like you're all alone tonight," she says, giving me a half-lidded stare.

"Yeah, looks that way," I say.

"Well, hope you have a good book to read or something!" Rainbow says with a cheeky grin. She bounces out of the kitchen, laughing like a hyena.

Fluttershy snickers. "You got trolled..."

I tweak her nose and head up to my room, where I watch TV until I'm ready to sleep.
