"Dash, I have something to ask you..." You looked into Dash's eyes, softly and like you were hurt.

"What is it?"

"Why'd you leave me? Why Dash?!" You placed the back of your hand to your forehead, "I bet that French guy stole your heart!"

"It's true. I wasn't thinking." She let a tear stream down her cheek, "Please take me back."

"No. I cannot let such a crime against me go unnoticed." Your hand settled off your forehead and you turned away rapidly, "I cannot trust you."

"But-"

"No buts. Bye Dash... I hope we can be friends." You took a step away from her, as another tear broke through her eye.

Clapping emerged through the class, except from the very bemused Bonbon who was eyeing Dash evilly. Ms. Cheerilee stepped forwards and smiled, "And scene."

Dash wiped the tears off her face and smiled with Ms. Cheerilee. She went to her desk and sat down, letting you chat with Cheerilee in private. If you counted being in front of the whole class 'private'. Cheerilee talked about your drama performance and honestly, you weren't listening.

"-And that is why you should take up acting."

"I was just doing it for the laughs, Cheerilee... Er... Ms. Cheerilee." Is she married?

"Comedy is also a form of acting, as you need to practice your jokes. Don't want to tell the joke wrong, am I correct?" She looked over the class, seeing everyone except Fluttershy talking.

"I guess..." You followed her gaze, "Can I go back to my seat now?"

Her hand pointed to your seat and she turned around, picking up a marker to write on the board. You planted your butt on your chair and looked up at the board.

"Anyone know how our  beautiful world was created?" Cheerilee questioned the class, reading the words she wrote on the whiteboard. Twilight's hand shot up instantly, and when she was picked, she adjusted her glasses.

" Well... There were two regal sisters... Their subjects played in the day but shunned the night and slept through it, which made the younger sister grow bitter since she had to stay up all night, eventually refusing to due her duties to help the land. Her bitterness transformed her into a wicked princess of darkness, Nightmare Moon. The elder sister reluctantly harnessed the power of the Elements of Harmony and 'banished her in the moon', taking responsibility for both of their jobs, maintaining harmony in this world." Twilight smiled and continued a bit, "So they created a special day for the youngest, Nightmare Night. The specific day was chosen because it was her birthday, and the eldest felt lonely. Eventually, the younger escaped the moon and got switched to the good side. These fabled characters have great, great, great granddaughters... Which were named after the characters. Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna."

"That was a lot of words, Twiley." A dude whispered obnoxiously loud.

"I have learned to block out that nickname, thank you." She said in the same tone as the male.

"Anyways, Twilight is correct. Which leads us to our first miniature project of the year!" Cheerilee clapped her hands together on the word 'project', making many groan, "...At least I'm letting you choose your partners."

Dash sprung up and clung to your arm like sticky tack, smiling like a fool. Cheerilee also said something about being able to work alone, but you were too busy flicking Dash to notice fully. More people basically flew across the room to get to their partner before anyone else, but not Fluttershy or Twilight. They took notes on things that were written on the board.

"Let go of me, we've established the fact that we're partners." You relaxed as Dash loosened herself and fell back into her seat. Maybe having Dash as my partner will work out perfectly, since she's secretly smart.

"So since it's on the history of... Well... The sphere we live on," She pulled a piece of paper out of her strangely organized desk to draw a plan out, "I thought we could make a toy model for our visual part. An essay for the essay part, instead of pasting the facts onto our visual section."

You followed her pencil as she wrote and drew, making her overall plan seem easier than it actually was going to be. Being focused on her writing, you just nodded your head to every word she spoke.

"Are you gonna do it with a turtle?"

Nod.

Laughter.

Confused look from you.

"Oh my Celestia, you didn't hear a word I just said, did you?" She pushed herself off the ground, where she fell when you nodded your head. Did I just agree to something?

"I lost you at the end."

"Well, we could wire the inside of the model to hook up with outside lights, and when we press a button while pointing at the light it'll turn on... But that'll mean that we have the chance of messing up on our presentation..." She apparently repeated.

Your eyes opened and closed multiple times, "Why do you act like you're not smart?"

She shrunk, "I'm not smart, please don't bring it up."

"Is it something terribly bad?"

"Please." Dash whispered, looking at you with begging eyes.

"I'm your friend and I'll help you out in any way possible, feel free to tell me when you want to." Now Dash was the one who was nodding. The last period bell rang for some people, who had their free period at the end of the day. Today, this included you and Dash.

"I'll go to the store and buy our materials, maybe we can get it done early!" Her frown distorted into a smile, and she left a cloud of dust in her trail out the door. You got up and were quickly met by Bonbon.

"I was thinking that we could go out today? Coffee sounds nice." She pet her two-toned hair, fixing it.

"Project, sorry. Dash and I have to go study-" That's slang for dating, crap!

She crossed her arms, "What did you say?"

"Dash and I have to study the history of our land." There was an audible squeak when you smiled sheepishly.

"...Okay..." She walked out the door, coughing through the dust.

The cloud led all the way to your dorm, so you followed it. You didn't have a choice since it was the only way to Dash. The door was open a bit so you slipped in, where Dash was putting away her bag.

"Hey," She turned around at the sound of your voice, "School library to study?"

"You bet." A ponytail formed in her hair and she was by your side faster than you could object, not that you wanted to.

The door to the staircase was opened and you almost bumped into Octavia, who was looking worried. She awkwardly passed by and entered her room, flinching at the dubstep that arose. Dash shrugged and walked down the stairs, to the library ground. After jumping off the last step, she looked at the signs above the rows of shelves, heading towards the History shelves.

"Are you excited or something?"

"Kinda." Dash shouted, being loudly shushed by the librarian, "Sorry..."

"Well let's get studying!"

The scene that occurred next consisted of books being pulled out, pencils scratching against paper and books being placed back or thrown away. Dash threw them, you were civilized enough to put them back correctly and neatly. After about an hour of this, Dash yawned a yawn that sounded like Pikachu. You couldn't prevent yourself from smiling and being overcome with cuteness.

"D'aww..."

"You find my yawning cute? Well," She tapped the back of her head, "Cuteness and drugs effect the same part of your mind."

"Heh, what do you know. Guess you're a drug." Must say pickup line... "And I need to get my fix."

Two dolls appeared in your head, being held by stick-hands. Now... Kiss!

Your thoughts did anything but deceive you, and you pecked Dash on the lips... Thoughts, did not deceive. Instinct, did deceive.

"THE LIBRARY IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO 'STUDY', ISN'T IT?"

Dash twisted around and looked at the top of the staircase, where a fuming female stood. Dash's face turned the same colour, but as a blush... Not because of being enraged. The words that came out of your true crush and the girl you just kissed made Bonbon's eye twitch.

"Oh shit." Someone has to clean the fan, now... Next Chapter: Tick-Tock, Firebomb Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 12 Minutes
