Today's Horoscope (Virgo): The greatest challenge you have ever faced lies ahead. Make sure you're prepared for anything.

After School

At tennis practice, Pinkie and I approach Coach Chrysalis.

"Good afternoon, you two!" Chrysalis says warmly.

"Hey," I say. "Listen...we're both gonna miss practice on Friday."

"And I'm going to miss Saturday's matches," Pinkie says with an apologetic smile.

"Oh?" Chrysalis tilts her head. "Are you eloping?" she asks with a teasing grin.

"I wish!" Pinkie says, laughing. "No, it's Applejack's birthday on Friday, but her party is on Saturday at her family farm, and it's an hour outside town. Our whole dorm is spending the weekend up there with her family."

"Sweet Apple Acres? Yes, I know of it. A surprisingly successful farm considering the hardships the family has faced and its lack of employees." Chrysalis nods. "Alright, I'll make a note of it." She smiles. "Have fun."

"How do you know so much about Sweet Apple Acres?" Pinkie asks.

Chrysalis grimaces. "My old company's agricultural division attempted to acquire the farm a few years back," she says. "After I researched the particulars of the Apple family, I vetoed the entire thing. The Apples are self-made, and I respect that." She shakes her head. "Well, even if you won't be here Friday and you won't be at the matches Saturday, you should still practice like you mean it today. On the court, both of you!"

We join the rest of the team for an intense practice, after which we return to the dorm.

Evening

After dinner, I help Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle with their homework, then head upstairs to finish my own. I have an essay to write for history...

I hate writing essays. It feels like slow torture...

By the time I'm finished, I'm too tired to proofread it. I decide to finish up in the morning before it's due, and get ready for bed.
