When we came home, a curious letter was found on each of our beds. Interesting, what might be in there? Well... these letters look royal, that's what can clearly be seen. White with golden edges, and a wax seal that... hm, I think that's the symbol of CSGU: a horn with a book behind it.

Alright, let's look into it.

Dear Flame Metal,

I, as the principal of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, welcome you as one of our new students! Before you begin your education, however, you must move to the new hostel where a room will be provided for you along with three other students. The address is 7 Horns st.

You will have to show this letter to the hostel-owner, and they must leave a stamp at the bottom of the letter.

As soon as you arrive, your belongings will be transported to your new location. Your current hostel-owner has already been informed.

Sincerely,

Princess Celestia

Well, I can say it makes sense. It takes a little more than thirty minutes for me to arrive to the new school, and having to wake up earlier isn't something I'm looking forward to.

Though, now four students per apartment? I hope it is divided in at least two room. And I hope the apartment is bigger than the current one since I don't like cramped spaces. Besides, I need to store my music instruments somewhere.

"We're moving." Moonshine stated, putting on her saddlebags. "I wonder what our roommates will be..."

"Yeah..." I replied, grabbing my own stuff. Well, if Celestia wrote me that my other stuff will be moved, I'm going to leave my musical instruments here. Moving them around myself would be such a pain in the ass.

Well, here we go.

Huh, it's funny that I've changed two schools and two living places during one year. That's something I've never done before.

***

We arrived at the new hostel, showed our letters to the owner, and then went to search for our (half-our, actually) apartment on the second floor. It's number is 207.

So, the hostel looks nice. It's clean, everything that needs to be marked is marked, and the owner is friendly. When I lived in a hostel once — it wasn't pretty. Those cockroaches everywhere... The building was, what, a hundred years old? Not to mention that a lot of trash people lived there: arguing, shouting, just being assholes to everyone. Here in Equestria, I haven't got a chance to say anything bad about the hostels. Hey, it's the best you can get for free, especially by my standards. What else would anyone want, a mansion? Yeah, try to live with expectations so high. The only mansion you would've got would be a cardboard one.

So, Moonshine and I walked upstairs and started searching for the apartment. There are two sides of the corridor: one with even numbers, and the other with odd. Here is 201... 203... 205... Yep, here's 207. I pushed the door open and the two of us walked in.

We appeared in a rather small room. It has two benches with some instruments lying on them. What are those? Are they for cleaning our hooves? Hm, maybe it's for the horseshoes. I've seen adults having them. I guess I'll have to wear those someday.

There is a doorway that leads into what I think is a kitchen. Damn, that's good! I'll be able to cook something by myself. While I'm not that great at it, I know one recipe that my grandma used. It's of wonderful cake that is so soft it makes shivers go down your spine as you eat it, and there's a lot of white cream covering the entire cake, and that makes it thrice as tasty!

...

Not that white cream, you... you fucking gay.

...

Was I talking to my pervert-self? Whatever...

Alright, there are two doors by the sides of this room. Hm, are both rooms free? Hm, if that's true, I should remember the rule about going right. Do the opposite. So, I carefully opened the left door.

Huh, this is a spacey room. Its walls are colored in a comfortable shade of green, the ceiling is plain white, the floor is wooden and has carpets near and underneath the beds. There are a lot of things in the room: a walk-in closet, two middle-sized beds with chests of drawers next to them, two tables with chairs, an almost empty bookshelf between the tables, and a window in the middle of one of the walls, just between the beds. There's also a white door that leads to the bathroom, I suppose. Well, nothing too different from what I've been living in, but there's much more space. I could probably park my dad's car here if I wanted to.

There is also a big cardboard box in the center of the room. Is that our stuff? Let's find out.

I walked to the box and opened it. Yep, that's a box of our belongings. Huh, how did they move them here so fast? My every instrument was carefully wrapped in a bubble wrap, books were placed in boxes, and clothes were carefully folded. They work professionally, I give them that. Time to get everything out of there.

First, I pulled out the instruments and placed them in the corner of the room. Four guitars and a keyboard, that's a lot. Maybe I can sell one of the guitars? Maybe gift it to someone, too... I'll look into those possibilities later.

Next, I pulled out the box with the books, opened it, and set every book on the shelf. Yeah, that looks right. I better hide that book from Luna somewhere in the far back... Nah, why would I? Moonshine might need it someday.

Then, I pulled out a... a thing for moving pets around, and I found calm Molniya inside. They even handled her right! I let the cat out to explore the apartment while I deal with other stuff. She happily meowed and started sniffing around.

There's also cat food, clean litter box, unused litter itself, and bowls for the cat.

Then came the clothes. Not as much for each of us: our Nightmare Night costumes and some winter clothes. I handed Moonshine her belongings and returned to the box.

Plush Luna, that's Moonshine's. Manedryer, a few toothpaste tubes, toothbrushes, shampoos, a couple of towels, a diary in one of the towels— wait, what? Um, I suppose that belongs to Moon as well. She blushed as I handed her that. I'm not going to read that, I think there is a lot of personal stuff inside. Her reaction kinda tells it clearly.

It seems that's all. Alright, now we need to place everything in their respective places.

***

All's done, now we can relax.

*knock-knock*

Huh, it seems it's not the time. I wonder who's there... So, I went to the door and opened it.

"Hi!" I was greeted as soon as I opened the door.

"...Hi." I replied more or less casually.

Before me, two ponies stood. I think both of them are teens already, each about twelve, maybe thirteen or even fourteen years old. It's hard to tell. And both of them are kinda... strange. They look like pony vampires. Slit-pupil eyes, fangs... Yeah...

And they're twins: brother and sister. The brother seems to be younger, mostly due to his height. He's a little bit taller than Moonshine, and she's not that tall in the first place. His sister, on the other hand, is slightly taller than me. Both of them have purple eyes, darker purple manes and tails, and bluish-grey furs. However, the brother has a pair of bat-like wings while his sister has a spiraled, slightly curved horn. Whar struck me as odd besides the fact that they look like vampires is the fact that the sister has some kind of a wheelchair strapped to her. She looks rather skinny, too.

"My name's Night Breeze, and my brother's White Light. We're your new roommates, it seems." the sister told me, extending a hoof. I bumped it, and then glanced to my side and saw Moonshine there. "You're siblings, too?"

"Eh, no." I replied. Why would she think that? The only thing in common we have is the color of the fur. Actually, Moonshine's a bit whiter. And if we were siblings... well, I'm not into incest that much. I didn't have a sexy sister, that's for sure. But maybe if I did...

Nah, those thoughts must go outta my head. At least for now.

"White, you owe me five bits." Night Breeze glanced at her brother in triumph. "Told you our roommates won't be siblings."

"Aw, shucks..." White Light muttered, hanging his head.

"Um... Good to know you." I replied awkwardly. "But... isn't your brother, um, hornless?"

"My parents made this featherless dolt go with me because they think I can't handle my legs myself." she rolled her eyes. "Alright, see ya soon! We need to unpack our stuff." she turned to her brother. "C'mere, little one, let's put you to use."

"I'm not little!" he pouted.

...

He kinda is. I'm not going to say that out loud, though. I'm not going to ruin this poor guy's self-esteem.

So, the two of them disappeared in their room, and silence fell as the door closed. Huh, I guess it has a good sound isolation. Good for me, I won't be bothered because I bother other people with playing my instruments. Or maybe they're just not being that loud. I suppose I'll soon see.

Alright, now we have dormmates. Or neighbors? I don't know which word is correct. And in any case, that's... alright. Well, they don't seem bad. They might have that sibling rivalry that I've heard about, but I don't think it will be too much for me to handle. As long as they don't involve the two of us, it'll be fine.

"What do you think of them?" Moonshine asked me.

"We don't know them much, I can't really say anything about them." I replied. "They seem alright, thought."

"Did you see... um..."

"Yeah." I nodded, getting what she was saying. "Well, stuff sometimes happen to people." I shrugged.

I don't know whether that leg problem is permanent or temporary. Besides, why would I care? She seems to be fine and has a brother to help her. If she asked me, yes, I would help her. But being forceful with lending a helping hand wouldn't be good. She didn't ask for help, and I didn't give it to her. Well, if she needed help but couldn't say that, I'd help her. I understand that we live in a socieaty, and as much individualistic as we are, we can't live without another. So, if someone asks me for help and I can provide it, I will help. That's it.

*sigh*

Well, getting to know our roommates wasn't as bad as I thought. I never liked sharing a room with anyone because, y'know, a guy has his own needs, but... it'll be some time before those needs arise. And I have someone to help me with them...

...

Alright, I think I shouldn't have read that book Luna gave me. It makes me a pervert.

Or maybe I was already one?

...

Suddenly, the topic of my inner thoughts went from roommates to sex.

Um...

I am officially a fish pervert.

*making stupid noises while rolling my eyes*

Author's Notes:

Yay, Flame Metal has completely gone insane!

At least he accepts that.
Expect other chapters to be bigger. This one was small because there wasn't much to write anyway.
