Today's Horoscope (Virgo): Go with the flow today. Put aside everything in your life that causes you stress and enjoy life's simple pleasures.

After School

Music Club...

Everyone's a little sluggish today because of the heat and humidity. Nobody's talking much. We're all just sort of sitting around, miserable and cranky.

After about ten minutes of this, Octavia picks up the bass she's taken a liking to and plucks out a familiar bass groove. Everyone turns to stare at her.

After a minute, Vinyl starts nodding her head and singing along. Grinning, Lyra moves over to the dusty, disused drums in the corner and starts pounding out the beat. Some of the others start singing along too; when the guitar parts come up, Trixie and I both join in.

By the end of Music Club, everyone's in a better mood. I head back to the dorm not really noticing how hot it is.

Evening

Coach and Cadance set up a bunch of fans in the lounge. Everyone's enjoying the cool breeze. I get in on some gaming with Luna, Rainbow, and Sonata.

After we're done gaming, I head up to my room to finish up my homework. There's a knock on my door.

It's Luna. She pads into my room barefoot, in short, tight shorts and a loose tank-top. She smirks and raises an eyebrow at my reaction. "See anything you like?" she quips.

"Uhh..."

She snickers. "It's nice to know my sister isn't the only one who can get a rise out of the boys," she says. "Although I prefer to remain the aloof, cold, forebidding disciplinarian at school." She sighs and stretches. "It's nice to have a group of friends you feel comfortable being yourself around."

"That's true."

Luna sits down on the floor. "My sister will no longer be staying at the dorm," she says. "Truthfully, the only reason I'm even still here is the video games." She scratches her stomach. "Well, and maybe to give Celestia and Blaze some space. I know it won't be long until he starts spending more and more time alone with her, and..." She shrugs. "I mean, they could do their thing at his place, but sooner or later she's going to want to bring him over to our house, you know? And, well..." She wrinkles her nose.

"You don't want to be the third wheel," I say.

"There's that," Luna says. "Also, I think sometimes my sister is a bit...embarrassed by me."

"Because you're a slob when you're not at work?"

Luna laughs. "Ouch!" she says. "It's true, though." She sighs and stretches. "I've been thinking lately...it might be time for me to find my own place. I've lived with Celestia all my life...relied on her to look after me. Now that she's finally getting serious about a man, it's...it's time I stopped acting like a child and start being my own woman." She picks at her top. "It's funny, when I was younger, all I ever wanted was for my sister to leave me alone, and now it's almost as if I'm afraid to live my own life without her watching over me..."

She shakes her head and stands up. "I wanted to talk to you about the Sunset Shimmer situation, but I'm too tired to deal with that right now. Besides, my sister insists on trusting you and your friends to handle it, so..." She shrugs. "Goodnight, Flash."

After she leaves, I decide it's time to turn in. I have some...interesting dreams...
