Early Morning
Chirping birds and thin sunlight wake me up. I shift around and feel a warm body lying next to me.
That's right...
Last night, when I came to my room, there was a girl in my bed. After I stripped to my boxers, I got into bed next to her.
The mass of curly hair on the pillow was unmistakably Pinkie Pie, but she was sound asleep, so I decided to leave her be...
As I move around, Pinkie stirs and blinks. She sits up and stretches, then looks at me. "Oh, hey," she says. "I wanted to surprise you, but..." She yawns. "I fell asleep..."
"It's okay," I say. I glance at the time. "You'd...better get ready and go. Your bus is leaving in a half hour."
Pinkie blinks. "Eep!" She scrambles out of bed and rushes down the hall naked. I shake my head and get up, gathering up some clean clothes and getting dressed before heading down to breakfast.
Daytime
The storms made a huge mess around the dorm property. There's broken tree limbs and litter everywhere. After breakfast, we all change into comfortable, worn clothes and spend half the day cleaning up the mess.
After lunch, I have laundry to do. After I put my clothes on to wash, I head back to the lounge to sit and watch television while I wait. Before long, Rarity wanders in, wrapped in a terrycloth robe, a towel wrapped around her hair. "I do so hate getting all...icky," she complains as she sits down, examining her fingernails. "If I chipped a nail..."
I roll my eyes. "Rarity..."
"Well I can't help it!" she whines feebly.
A few moments pass in silence. "Flash?" Rarity says.
"Yeah?"
"I...I've been terribly unfair to my family, haven't I?"
I look at her. She's studying me intently. "After...after that whole business with your parents," she says, "I started thinking..." She looks down at her lap. "My dear parents are ever so kind and ever so loving. And...and Sweetie Belle...she may get on my nerves and we may not always see eye-to-eye, but...I do so dearly love her. She is, after all, my only sister." She sighs. "I think...maybe sometimes I forget how precious they are to me..."
The Rarity Social Link of the Empress Arcana has reached rank 6!

She stands up and shuffles upstairs. The timer on the washing machine goes off, and I get up to put my laundry in the dryer.
Pinkie Pie gets back just before dinner. Our team performed well today. Next Saturday, they're off to regionals.
Evening
After dinner, the entire dorm goes out to see a movie together. The movie sucks, but seeing it with friends and laughing at it together makes it a fun night anyway...
Tomorrow will be Applejack's first training session in Zodiac.
