Today's Horoscope (Virgo): Come along. You belong. Feel the fizz.

Early Morning

The sun's not even up when I wake up. I rub my eyes and groan, rolling over in bed. I try to go back to sleep, but it's no use. I get up and head downstairs.

I'm not the only one.

Most of the dorm is awake. Some of them don't look too happy about it—namely, Rainbow Dash and Rarity.

"Honestly," Rarity complains. "A lady needs her beauty sleep!"

"Screw beauty, I just wanna sleep until noon! It's summer, dammit!"

Twilight runs a hand through her hair and sighs. "Girls, we've been getting up at the crack of dawn for a week and a half. It...it stands to reason it'd take our bodies a while to 'unlearn' that."

"She's right," Sunset says, cracking a huge yawn. "Your body gets used to something and it's hard to stop doing it." She rolls her shoulders. "Believe me, I hate being up this early on a Sunday too. Usually I sleep until nine, then spend the next hour or so with my hand in my crotch. Oh, hey Flash."

Twilight glares at her. "Do you ever stop?"

Sunset grins. "Nope!"

Rainbow tilts her head. "No, you never stop teasing Twilight, or no, you never stop masturbating?"

"Both," Sunset says. She reaches over and runs a hand through Rainbow's hair. "Well, I'm gonna try to go back to sleep." She stands up and stretches, then pads off to the stairs.

Rainbow makes a disgusted face, crossing her eyes as she looks up at her head. "Ew," she complains. "You think I should wash my hair?"

"Absolutely," Rarity says.

"Definitely," Twilight agrees.

"You should probably burn it just to be sure," Fluttershy opines.

We all eat breakfast, then get a head start on all the laundry we brought back with us. Even though we did plenty of laundry while we were at Sweet Apple Acres, everyone has dirty clothes and things to wash.

Daytime

A little before noon, everyone leaves to do some shopping in town. In addition to needing to buy something for Shining Armor, all of us need a little "city time" after ten days on a farm.

I never really realized just how much the city air stinks until now.

While Twilight and I are in town, we run into some of our friends from school. We hear a lot about our farmer's tans and how fit we look. We also hear about how earthy we smell from some of our more unfiltered friends, particularly Vinyl Scratch (much to Octavia's chagrin). Apparently, even though we've all showered regularly, we brought plenty of farm smell back with us.

It's late in the evening when we return to the dorm.

Evening

Mr. Night Light is back in town for Shining Armor's birthday.

Twilight and her family have dinner together in private over at the apartment. The rest of us are left to our own devices, and opt to pick through the fridge for anything that looks good. I end up eating a simple ham sandwich with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo, as well as a bag of potato chips and a bottle of lemon-lime soda. After I've rounded up my meal, I head to my room to call my parents. We spend an hour talking about various things, mostly about my time on the farm. After that, I take a quick shower and head for bed.
