Today's Horoscope (Virgo): You may be tempted to pass on something today, but you might miss out on something great.

Early Morning

Today is the last day of school. It's a half-day, and instead of classes, we're supposed to have some kind of assembly...

I wonder how many people are gonna ditch.

Morning

When we arrive at school, there are signs directing everyone to the auditorium. The entire school smells like popcorn.

When we arrive at the auditorium, we find a dozen popcorn carts, full to the top with fresh, hot, buttery popcorn, with most of the staff attending them. There's also a row of coolers full of bottled sodas.

"Get some popcorn and a soda, find a seat," Luna says cheerfully as she directs everyone into the auditorium. Curious, our group gets popcorn and drinks and finds a row of seats together. Sunset Shimmer joins us, but that was to be expected.

Once everyone who actually came is seated, Principal Celestia takes the stage. "Good morning, everyone!" she says brightly. "I'm glad to see so many of you decided to come today instead of ditching." She smirks. "The hundred or so kids I don't see are about to miss out on something fun."

"How much fun can a school assembly be?" Rainbow Dash wonders.

The lights go down, and the curtain behind Celestia parts to reveal a movie screen. "I pulled some strings and arranged an advance preview screening of Iron Dude 4!"

Half the crowd goes nuts.

"Whoa. Iron Dude 4?" Rainbow asks. "That doesn't come out until July!"

The next three hours pass by to the tune of explosions, classic rock, laughter, and the popcorn carts and drink coolers emptying out. When the movie's over, so is the school year.

After School

We decide to go to that one pizza buffet for lunch, then hit the mall to do last-minute shopping for tomorrow's trip to Canterlittle. Cadance reserved a set of rooms at a budget hotel two miles from the beach, and we're staying until Tuesday.

Evening

I'm packing for tomorrow when there's a knock on my door. It's Sunset. I nearly slam the door in her face, but I decide to hear what she has to say.

"There's something I've wanted to ask for a while now," she says. "Why Twilight?"

I frown. "What do you mean?"

Sunset shrugs. "I mean...why Twilight? The way I hear it, you've pretty much got your pick of any girl in this dorm. Why her? What makes her so—"

I hold up a hand. "She's my type," I say. "I can't explain it, she just is. I fell in love with her the second I laid eyes on her."

Sunset raises an eyebrow. "Really? The way I hear it, you've fucked pretty much every girl in this dorm."

I shrug. "Yeah, I'm not pretending I'm perfect. I let my dick get the better of me a little too much. But there's nothing I wouldn't do for Twilight."

"Except, apparently, stop sleeping around."

"Actually, I have to have her permission for that."

Sunset blinks. "Her permission? Seriously?"

I shrug. "Things are a little...unconventional around here."

Sunset smirks. "No kidding." She shakes her head. "I should've stolen you from her back at the start of the year. I think...that was my first mistake."

"Do you really think I'd ever have gone out with you? They warned me about you first day of school."

Sunset snorts. "Warned you, huh?" She shakes her head. "Whatever. We'll see what you have to say after you see me in my bikini." Tossing her hair, she heads back to her own room.

I shake my head and resume packing. Sunset may be easy on the eyes, but after everything she's put us through, there's no way I'm giving her a moment's thought when we're at Canterlittle...

Our train leaves early, so I go to bed right after dinner.

Summer's finally here...
