‘Dreams can really blow sometimes.’ I thought as I was held by my throat by the monster. Luna was currently smashed into a wall and struggling to get out.

“Now your gonna DIE!!” The monster said as it held up it’s massive claw of a hand. I shut my eyes closed for the painful awakening. I felt the wind rush by my face and then I heard something go ‘Ting!’. I opened one and saw through the blue visor that the thing was covering what would have been it’s mouth.

“Oh my god you massive ass hat!!” I yelled at the monster. It dropped me and let out a chuckle that made Santa Claus jealous. I walked up and swatted the thing on the head. “BAD DOG..Mutant...human-zombie-thing.”

It slightly whimpered as I walk over to Luna and grab her hoof before pulling her out of the wall. “How did thou do that?” She asked as she got her footing(hoofing?).

“It’s a dream remember?” I said with a grin that could not be seen do to my helmet.

“Oh har har. Thou needs to learn to-” Before she could finished everything started getting really dark.

“Um what’s going on?” I asked looking around the ever dimming world around me.

“Well it’s rather simple. Thee is waking up!” Luna said before she disappeared.

“Wha-” I didn't even get to finish because my eyes opened up as I felt something prodding my side.

I groggily rolled over and swatted it away. It just came back before poking me again. I groaned and opened on eye. It was none other than my dastardly, insidious, mint green room mate.

“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat Lyra.....What?” I said sleepily/frustrated. She just smirked before grabbing the blanket and tugging it off. I groan and just rolled off the bed. Literally. From the floor I could feel Lyra looking at me with confusion. “Okay I am up....What you want?”

“I just came to wake you because your dad is here.” She said plainly. That was the moment that I found the urge to put a dent in the floor with my forehead. I attempted as such, but only got a headache. I tried a few more times before getting up. I got up and grabbed some new clothes and began to change when I noticed one thing wrong.

“Do you mind?” I said to the unicorn still in my room. She shook her head no before I picked her up by the scruff of her neck and placed her outside my door.

“Hey I am not a dog!” She said with a huff. I smiled and pointed to the couch. Where Church laid sprawled out on snoring and mumbling something about this being the best couch in his sleep.

“Lyra go annoy Church while I change.” I said closing the door. “Do the cold, wet nose in the middle of the back thing...”

I sighed and began to change when I heard. “WHAT THE FUCK LYRA!?”

I smiled and finished getting changed before walking out seeing Church trying to strangle Lyra. “Save that for the bedroom guys. My dad’s here.” I said walking into the kitchen.

“Actually he is outside.” Lyra said for the brief moment that Church eased up

“Oh....Well then carry on!” I grabbed a coke before walking out the door with my trench coat on and beanie on. As I left I heard Church yell.

“Oh Lyra.... YOU ARE SO FREAKIN’ DEAD!”

I chuckled as I saw my dad waving at the stair well. I stepped next to my dad and without saying a word we walked down the stairs and into the front office. I nodded to the receptionist and we walked out to where dad had a rental car waiting.

“So....Where are we going?” I said trying to break the ice.

“To a diner. I saw one on the way here. Quiet, not many people, ponies, griffins, or even adolescent dragons.” My father said with his same gruff, emotionless voice.

“Nice. Nice. May I ask the name of this fine establishment?”

“Donut Joe’s.”

“Let me guess. He serves donuts.” I said while rolling my eyes.

“Among other things, but yes. And he make a good pot of coffee.” He said while pulling the car out of park and us onto the road.

“Look before we get there just so we don’t make a scene...What are we going to talk about?” I asked just wanting to get this over with.

“This girl you’re seeing.” He said still concentrating on the road.

“Oh god. Is this going to end up being a species difference thing?” I said expecting the worst.

“Nope.” He said. Needless to say I choked on my spit and shot up in my seat hitting my head on the ceiling.

“Wh-*cough*-at?! I thought that-*Cough Cough* was what this was about. *hack*” I said as I hacked my lungs out. My dad sighed and patted me on the back.

“Well. That was it at first, I am not going to lie to ya. But after a stern talking too from your mother and some debate, we finally rested on the fact you found someone who you actually care for. And hopefully care about you back.” He said as I finally cleared my throat.

“So this is just whether or not she is right for me?” I said with a slightly raspy voice. He nodded and I slumped into my seat. Then he looked at me with a expression of concern.

“You okay?” He asked. I nodded and sighed.

“Yeah I’m fine. I just had this massive argument planned out in my head since yesterday and well....Now it’s gone out the window and burst into flames.” I said making a throwing motion towards the car window. My dad looked off for a moment. Then he began to laughed out loud for a while before I joined him.

We finally arrived at the diner and got out of the car. As we walked in I was surprised as we walked in when I saw that there was literally no one there, other than this one pony behind the counter. And well.....It honestly looked like a normal earth diner.

We went and sat at a booth. The mare behind the counter smiled as we sat and trotted over to us with two menus in her magic. She was, obviously, was a unicorn. She had a simple tan coat with a blonde mane while her eyes were brown.

“Hello I am Quick Note and I will be your waitress.” She said with a happy smile.

“Thanks.” I said as I took a menu from her magic grasp. My father did the same before sighing at the menu’s choices of food. Most of it being vegetarian. “Well the eggs and toast sound good. And I could use a soda right now....”

“Honestly son? I think you're addicted to those soft drinks.” He said looking at me over the menu. I chuckled and set my menu down.

“Meh....It’s better than other addictions.” I said stretching a bit. He chuckled and looked over the menu again. Quick came over to our table and pulled out a notepad.

“You two ready to order?” She said.

“Yea. I will have the eggs and toast with a Coke-Cola please.” I said handing her the menu.

“I will have the same as him only coffee instead.” My father said giving her the menu. She quickly wrote down the orders and nodded before walking off to the chef. Then my dad turned to me.

“So. Tell me about this Luna.” He said leaning forward with his curious piercing glare. I fidgeted for a moment before I sigh.

“Alright alright, but if you know me at all, you’re gonna have to be specific.” I said grinning. He shakes his head and chuckles.

“Smart ass. Alright. Tell me what she is like.” He said leaning back in his seat. I did the same and rested my hands behind my head.

“Well....She is funny. She loves to prank others. She loves videogames-” I began to list before he let out a sharp whistle.

“Loves videogames? Looks like you already have a keeper.” He said with sarcastic grin.

“Oh hush up. Anyway...” Then I prattled on for about 5 minutes until my dad held up his hand.

“Okay okay I get it. She is your dream girl. Mare. Pony. Anywho, does she feel the same about you?” He asked.

“Well...”I Scratched my head. “She tackle hugged me on her birthday and kissed me at the same time. I think that is pretty good evidence.”

My father chuckled and then the waitress came over to the table with our food. “Here you two go! Enjoy!” She said winking to my dad.

I snickered as my dad smiled back and nodded. As she left he let out a pent up sigh. “I am telling you that this world is too friendly for it’s own good.” He said as he picked up his fork and knife before beginning to eat.

“Yea, you could say that.” I said smiling. We both ate in relative silence until my dad made me choke on my food.

“So does she look nice?” He said abruptly. Needless to say I choked (No really?) on the piece of toast I was chewing on. After about five minutes of me hacking my lungs out and forcing myself to drink something, I finally calmed down enough to look at my father.

“What-*Ahem* Would compel you to say that?!” I said with a unintentional harsh tone.

He just chuckled and gave my a napkin. “Well. You talk so fondly of her, she must be quite the looker.”

I just sigh and pull out my phone. I had taken a few picture of her when she had done some stupid things. ‘Like the time she thought it would be a good idea to replace Tia’s shampoo with chocolate sauce. That was fun to watch.’

I pulled up the picture of her running away from Tia, whom had a ‘chocolate’ brown mane, and was smiling like she had just gotten the greatest gift in the world. I pulled it up and showed it to him. The picture was a little blurry, but you could make everything out.

“Well she is pretty I am not gonna lie.” He said looking over the picture. I smiled and take the phone back and got to my videos.

“You want to see how she act outside of work?” I said clicking on a certain video.

“Well sure.” He said scooting over to watch. I pulled out a set of headphones and handed him a ear bud. He looked at me weird.

“The video is a bit loud and I don’t want to cause a panic.” I said playing the video.

“You sure this is a good idea?” Slayer said as he followed Luna into the sun goddess’s room.

“Oh quit being a big foal! This is going to be a ‘riot’. That is the correct term yes?” She asked him. Slayer chuckled while looking around.

“Yea. It’s gonna be a riot alright...What are we doing anyway?” He asked as he looked back at Luna.

“Why is thou recording this?” She said looking at Slayer.

“Mostly so I can watch this in the future and laugh while I die from 3rd degree burns.” He said at Luna who was snickering.

“Well we are going to do a few pranks. I think that Celestia will find them....Humorous.” She said with a sadistic grin as she said the last word.

“Okay okay. Well let’s get to it...” Slayer said as Luna began to pull things out of a small bag she was carrying. Luna handed him a bottle of dye and told him to put it in on her pillow. Even though you couldn’t see his face you could tell he was confused. She just giggled and told him to do it.

They continued to booby trap many things in Celestia’s room before the door slowly began to open. They both looked to the door and Slayer ducked under the bed with the camera. Luna ran to some odd corner of the room and hid. Celestia looked around and sniffed the air.

“That’s odd.” She began. “I smell chocolate and....Mints?” Her hooves shifted places and then trotted over to the bed. “What is that smell? It’s like someone forgot to shower...”

Slayer shifted uncomfortably and then the princess walked away. Slayer let out a silent sigh and looked out from under the bed. “Alright coast is clear. Time to leave.”

Slayer crawled out from under the bed and ran for the door. He reached it and opened it just as Celestia walked out of the closet she was apparently in. he hopped out the door and ran down the hall as fast as he possibly could and stopped when he reached a corner.

“That..*Pant* was a close one.” He said turning the video off.

“Well that was interesting. What happened afterwards?” My father asked.

“Well I took pictures after that. The one I showed you was the one when all the pranks happened. I have more if you want to see!” I said pulling open the gallery.

I should him all the pictures of what the pranks had done to poor Tia. She had gotten Her head dyed neon pink from her pillow, her mane had chocolate in it, her regala was laced with itching powder....The list goes on and on. Some pranks that we set had happened a few days later. She got us later when she rigged Luna’s game room to splatter us with liquid rainbow when we opened the door every time for a whole week.

That was the start of the great prank war we had that lasted for three weeks before I ended up in a short coma from one of Luna’s pranks that Celestia had rigged to work on one of us. Unfortunately it was meant for a alicorn's fur and mane to swap colors and patterns. I ended up looking like I fell into a pit of coal dust with tan hair. I got so many apologies after I woke up.

“Well those are all the pictures.” I said putting my phone away.

“And the end of this discussion. I know this was awkward for you-”

“No, really? I hadn’t noticed.” I said sarcastically.

“Smart ass. Anyway I hope you have the best of luck in this. But me and your mother do want one thing.” He said pulling out his wallet and paying for the food.

“What’s that?” I asked standing up and finishing up my soda. He finished and we walked outside and got into the car.

“We would like to meet her.” He said.

‘Mind: Error 1337.
>Attempting to correct.
>>Correction unsuccessful.
>>>Going into shutdown mode.
>>>> Auto-functions enabled. ’

My mind finally turned back on when we arrived at the dorms. I opened the door and said my goodbyes like I was reduced to my simplest instincts. When I walked in I finally gain control over my body and thoughts again.

“Oh my god what am I going to do!!” I said a little louder than necessary. The ponies in the front office looked at me and I blushed before smiling and running up stairs. I sighed as I neared my dorm and slowly began to unlock the door.

“Today has been so stressful. I can’t wait to get inside and play my Xbox.” I said as I finished opening the door. I walked inside and hung up my coat before walking over to the couch. I began to sit down until I got a text on my phone. Reflexively I stood back up and grabbed my phone.

[Church: It was Lyra’s fault!! And don’t you dare listen to her lies!] Read the text. Almost instantly I got a text from someone else.

[Lyra: THIS WAS ALL CHURCH’S FAULT.] I was really confused before I looked up and around the room.

My eyes widened and I dropped my phone. The dorm was.....Trashed would be an understatement. EVERYTHING was broken. Well, mostly. The pictures that were on the walls were now broken and thrown across the room. The couch I was going to be sitting on had been flipped and torn apart. The kitchen had everything thrown around and for some reason there was a rubber chicken in the oven. and a exploded energy drink in the , now broken, microwave. And for some damn reason knives were stuck to the walls a little bit here and there. Not to mention clothes were everywhere.

My eyes began to twitch as I looked around. I ran over to the T.V. and saw that my Xbox was, or at least looked, okay. I went to my room and looked around. My drawers and closet were open and empty. Not to mention that there was paint all over my room’s walls. I sighed and went to the door before grabbing my coat and walking over to Church’s dorm. I started with a simple light knock on the door.

“Guys are you in there?” I asked as calmly as I could. To be honest I was in no mood for this. No response. I knocked a little harder and called again. “Guys seriously. Open the door. Look I know you’re in there because I see footprints and hoof tracks leading into this dorm from my dorm.”

“Uh..Hey Slayer.” I heard Lyra say from the other side.

“Are you gonna open up?” I said leaning against the wall.

“Noooo.... What makes you think that?” Lyra responded.

“Oh nothing. Just the fact that you guys THRASHED THE DORM!!” I yelled letting my anger get the best of me. “Lyra I swear to god if you harmed my Xbox in anyway I am going to hang you out the window by your horn!!”

“B-but...” Lyra started

“NO BUTS. JUST. OPEN. THE. FUCKING. DOOR.” I yelled through the door. Today was seriously not a good day. ' okay maybe what I said was a bit harsh, but I am stressing out and I just wanted to play a game, but no~. Those two had to go and destroy the place I live in.' I thought as I ground my teeth.

“N-No! Go find Church instead and yell at him!” Lyra yelled from the other side of the door.

I saw a small reptile that had been rather quiet over the last few days and smiled. I picked up Arrowhead and let the smile turn a bit evil. “Okay Lyra...Okay. I will leave.”

I whispered something to Arrowhead and let him slither under the door. I hear a small click and I grab the doorknob. “Oh and Lyra?”

“Y-Yeah?”

I open the door and walk inside. “You should really lock the door more often.” I looked around to see if Church was still in his dorm, but I saw only Lyra and a surprisingly clean dorm room.

“Well. Now I know what you were doing. Alright Lyra come here.” I said gesturing her over with my hand.

“A-are you going to-”

“Hurt you? No. I am going to pummel Church into the ground though. You on the other hand. Are going to owe a BIG freaking favor.” I said calmly.

“O-Owe you? How?” Lyra asked nervously and was trying to hold back tears.

“Just something in the future. Anyway where is Church?”

“H-He's I-” Lyra could not hold back the tears anymore.

‘Great. Now I feel like a complete asshole.’ I thought. I sighed and walked over to the pony. I picked her up and hugged her before wiping the tears away. “Okay look. I am angry yes, but like I said I am not going to hurt you. I just have a lot on my mind right now and seeing that mess kinda sent me over the edge.”

I placed her on Church’s couch and sat beside her. “Now I am gonna ask again. Where is Church.”

“H-He’s in the Theater.” Lyra said quietly.

“Thank you. Now I am going to go ki- I mean talk with Church and I want you to stay here, alright?” I said getting up and walking to the door. “By the way. Theater as in theater room here at the school or the theater in town?”

“S-School... I’ve notice that he usually goes there and plays the piano when he needs to calm down.” Lyra said.

“Good. Now I don’t need my knife.” I said as I walked out and down the hall. ‘I am not going to kill him. Gonna hurt’em bad. But not kill.’

After about ten minutes of walking I heard the piano and walked towards it. I found the large doors of the theater and walked inside. No one was in the room other than Church who was currently playing a very calming tune on the classical piano on stage. It somewhat relaxed me, but I was still angry. I walked over quietly and sat down close to him. I waited for him to finish before I began to clap loudly.

“Hey Slayer.” Church said calmly and casualy.
“Sup...” I said just staring at him.

“Just sitting here playing my music, how about you?” Church replied.

“Thinking of ways to maim you.” I said standing up.

“That’s cold man.”

“You wrecked my dorm. AND my room.” I said walking slowly over to him.

“Okay.... Your room? I have absolutely no freaking idea how that happened but -”

“There was spray paint all over it.” I said cutting him off. “Plus several designs that only you would put on my wall. One of which was a reaper from Mass Effect.”

“Oh yeah that's right, but anyhow I’ve got a explanation. a perfectly logical one too.” Church said calmly.

“Alright tell you what.” I said walking over and sitting next to him on the piano. “I will let you tell your little tale and if it sounds like it’s not been fabricated. I won’t hurt you.”

“Alright, If you say so.”

“But! If it sounds like you are just making it up. I am going to force you to go a month without E-drink in addition to feeling the pain I am wanting to cause.”

“Slayer, you are one cold motherfucker.” Church said.

“That is why you don’t play minecraft with me.” I said while getting comfortable. “Okay now shoot.”

“Alright, as you know it all started when you sent Lyra on me...” Church started.

“Oh Lyra.... YOU ARE SO FREAKIN’ DEAD!” I yelled as Slayer walked out of his and Lyra’s dorm

“Oh yeah? Think you are so tough huh?” Lyra asked poking him once in the ribs. “Tough guy.” ‘You. Are. So. Fucking. Dead.’ I thought as a reached for the nearest object, which happened to be a remote I gave Lyra a light swat on the nose with it.

“Ow! What was that for?” Lyra asked innocently

“For calling me a tough guy.” I said. I then tried to get up, but Lyra was still just sitting there, looking me in the face.

“Having troubles?” Lyra asked with a huge grin that wreaked of evil on her face.

“Yeah, no fucking shit. You are sitting on me.” I said

“Oh that’s not all that you’re having problems with.” She said with a sing-song voice.

“Oh and what would the other be then?” I said a little annoyed.

“Well... Let’s see.” She pulls out a notebook and begin to flip through it like she was reading something. “You slept here last night, but not asking before you did. You don’t do that. You can’t take a compliment, even if it was a snide sarcastic one. And last but not least, your not making jokes. If I had to guess.... It’s either a crush or a relationship problem. Probably the former.”

“What the fuck are you talking about?” I ask dumbfounded.

“Yep a crush.” She said with a confirming nod.

“Get the fuck off me!” I said as I tried to squirm away.

“Nope!” She said with a happy grin. “Not until you tell me what is going on!”

I looked around for a escape but only found one way out, and it was to make the couch tip over. So I put all my weight and some of Lyras on the backrest cushions. Causing the couch to lean backwards and since Lyra was too busy thinking about my problems for the moment, she too leaned back and made the whole couch tip over. And since I was holding on for most of my life, when we landed on the backside I ripped some part of the couch.

“Whoops.... That wasn’t supposed to happened.” I said loudly. Looking at the now ruined couch, well crap. “I’m going to get in so much trouble for this.”

“Yep. You’re dead.” She said.

“How the hell are we supposed to fix this?

“WE? no no no. You flipped the couch. I just wanted to help you. And possibly tease you, but that is beside the point!” She said backing up. I took off my black sweater and threw it in the face of Lyra to shut her up for a few seconds.

“Oh is that how you what it?” She said.

“What?” I asked extremely confused ‘I hope this isn’t some awkward sex joke or anything’

“You wanna fight. Let’s fight!” She get on her hind hooves and balanced before holding out her hooves as if she was a boxer. “Buck that CLOTHES FIGHT!” She got down on all four and out of nowhere clothes appeared.

“TASTE CLOTHES-Y DEATH!!” She yelled as she threw all the clothes at once.

“What the fu-” was all that escaped my mouth before a shirt flew in it and I got covered in other clothes when I sat up and pulled out the shirt from my mouth I saw that it was Slayer’s.

“You know these are Slayer’s right?” I asked as I held up his shirt.

“Oh as long as we put them back he won’t mind!” She said as she threw a few more.

“You’re on!” I yelled as I picked up a bunch of clothes and threw them at Lyra. ‘This reminds me of my childhood! But I don’t remember my childhood!’ I thought. All of a sudden I felt something rubber hit my face and then fall to the floor. When I looked down I saw a rubber chicken.

“What the fuck Lyra?” I asked a bit scared. ‘why does she keep a rubber chicken here anyways?’

She put on a pair of sunglasses and military helmet before pulling out a small cigar made of gum and chewed on the tip of the gum-cigar before saying. “This is war boy! Anything is allowed!!”

She reminds me of a Sargent. Sargent Lyra. We are all going to die. Fucking hell. This war just got serious....

I picked up the rubber chicken and went to the oven I then opened it and threw it inside and closed it. I almost turned it on before Lyra stopped me.

“NOOOOO NOT MY RUBBER CHICKEN!!” She yelled and jumped onto my back. She reached into my pocket and pulled out my emergency Redbull. She then ran to the microwave and placed it in. “Cook my chicken, I cook your Redbull.”

‘She got guts I’ll give her that.’ I though before saying, “Go ahead. Cook my Redbull I have more of them in my dorm. But I can’t see more of your rubber chicken anywhere...” I then turned on the oven on.

“Then why does this one say...’Special brew’?” She said pressing a few buttons on the microwave.

‘Wait special brew. Extra caffeine, Extra taurin, Extra sugar.... EXTRA SUGAR OH FU-’ I though with a bit of panic.

“NO WAIT!” I screamed, but it was already too late.

“Too late!” She said as she pressed the start button. A few seconds later the can exploded inside the microwave causing a power outage and the frying of circuits in the microwave. Plus the force of the blast shot the kitchen knife next to it to go into the wall behind Lyra. “Oh right. You’re NOT supposed to put metal in there things.”

“Riiight....” I said as I looked around, I saw that some of the paintings were still on the wall and I went over towards them and picked one up off the wall.

“Hey Lyra how much do these things cost?” I asked with some curiosity in my voice. ‘I have a awesome idea’

“Oh those things? Well not much. 10 or 15 bits. why?”

“FRISBEE PAINTING!” I yelled as threw the painting as a frisbee through the dorm, it crashed into the wall and flopped down on the floor half broken with a small dent in the wall made of the impact. ‘That was fucking awesome!’

“ANOTHER ONE” I yelled as I took the other painting and flung it in a random direction. This time it was heading for the window and I had no power over it ‘Well... I’m boned.’

But luckily Lyra caught it with her magic before it hit the window, it gave me a mini heart attack.
I was standing there panting loudly and looking at the window.

“Thank god for magic huh?” I asked Lyra before walking into Slayer’s room.

“What are you doing in there?” Lyra asked following me. I laid down on my stomach to see if he had anything interesting under his bed. But it was just filled with dust under his bed and a huge ass knife... No idea why he needs that, so I decided to check the closet instead which interestingly enough had spray paint stored in it.

“Hey Lyra I have an awesome idea.” I said with a evil grin on my face.

“And that is?” She asked

“Grab a can and help me” I said to her. About 30 minutes we both went out of Slayers room as we had finished spraying both graffiti, reapers, and girly stuff all over the walls.

“That was awesome.” I said as I walked by Lyra. ‘I wonder what we can do now besides clean up?’

As I now was standing in front of Lyra with my back against her looking around to see if there was anything else to do, she decided it was a good idea to wrestle. Of all the things, a pony who wanted to wrestle. WITH ME OF ALL THE PERSONS.

“Its not over yet!” Lyra yelled as she pounced me from behind as I and her tumbled around on the floor we eventually came to a stop with her on top looking down right into my eyes. I looked at her eye color and saw that it was golden.... And I also lost my self in the moment, we continued to stare at eachother for what felt like hours but in reality was just a few minutes. I saw that she had bit her lip for some reason ‘Is she coming on to me?’ I thought. I decided to risk it and ask what we were going to do now.

“So wh-” That’s how far I got before I felt a pair of soft lips meeting mine, I tried to resist the lust of deepening the kiss, but as fate has it. I’m quite the weak willed guy when it comes to dealing with women.

We continued our kiss for what I quote “Felt like hours.”, but in reality it was just a few minutes since we both had to breath. So now she was lying on top of me and I was lying on the floor. Neither one of us said anything until I heard a car pull up outside. I then looked at Lyra and just realized the mistake I made.

We both scrambled to get up and after we properly had gotten up I walked to Slayer’s dorm door when I heard.

“Oh my god what am I going to do!!” from someone in the lobby presumably Slayer. I turned to face Lyra with a extreme serious face.

“LETS NEVER EVER MENTION TO ANYONE THAT THIS EVER HAPPENED.” We both said in unison.

“AGREED.” We both said in unison again. I ran over to my dorm with Lyra following me in hot pursuit. As I got into my dorm i picked up my phone and told Lyra to lock the door after me, since I was going to the Theater to play some piano, so I could calm my nerves.

“Wait....Why don’t you play your keyboard over there?” Lyra said pointing to my keyboard in the corner.

“I mainly use that keyboard when it comes to mixing, I only use it as a normal piano when the Theater is in use. Besides It does not have the same feel as a real one, oh and its not equally as calming playing in my small room here as in the Theater.” I said

“Ah.”

“Feel free to join me sometime, but not today.” I said before walking out and closing the door to my dorm and walking towards the Theater.

“.....And that is when you sat there and listened to me play like a stalker.” He finished.

I blinked.

“Well, are you just going to sit there like some idiot or bum? And do not-” Church started

*PUNCH* “That is for painting my room. And you’re off the hook. For now.” I said standing up.

“Agh... Right in the Jaw, why the jaw?” Church asked no one in particular.

“It was closest to my fist.” I said holding out a hand. “Now come on. YOU and Lyra have a dorm to clean up.”

“Shit no! I have this Theater for like another...” Church said as he pulled up his phone and checked a schedule. “I have this place for another 10 minutes or about 2 - 3 piano songs. And I’m not going to waste them.”

I sighed and then looked over to the corner. Then I smiled. “Alright fine, but the question is do you want to see something cool?”

“Uh... Sure?” Church said hesitantly.

I chuckled and walked over to the corner before coming back with a black guitar and amp. “Play something.” I said as I turned on the amp and readied the guitar.

“Alright...” Church said as he went over to the piano and sat down

Then he began to play before I joined in. This little duet we had going lasted for a while before we heard someone walk in. I looked over and saw Lyra sitting in the far end of the Theater. I smiled and continued while Church had no idea of who was watching. But then again, he doesn’t really care about anything when he is playing the piano.

Soon more ponies and even a few human came to see what was going on. After about 2 or three minutes the theater was about half full with random spectators. I smiled and blotted out the random ponies and people and just focused on the sweet melody Church and me were playing.

After about 10 minutes of the same song and the occasional switching up we did we finally finished and we both nearly had a heart attack from the sudden applause that soon followed.

“Well this is a change from the usual dead quiet that usually follows.” He said looking over the crowd. They even started to shout encore. The starter of which was Lyra.

“Yeah no kiddin’. Should we give them another?” I responded looking over to him.

“Well I’m pretty sure I will get myself suspended from renting this Theater this week anyways so what the heck, lets give em another show. Oh can you sing? In front of a public?” He said as he looked into his phone.

“Unless you haven’t that recording, which I have yet to find out who sent, then yes, I can sing. In public? Not so much, but there is a first for everything.” I said holding up my guitar up again.

“Then I suggest we start with this one.” He said pointing to a song “Then we switch to a calmer one like this one.”

I looked to him and nodded. He began to play this lovely tune. As the song began I hesitantly began to sing and play along with the music.

Breathing you in when I want you out
Finding our truth in a hope of doubt
Lying inside our quiet drama

Wearing your heart like a stolen dream
Opening skies with your broken keys
No one can blind us any longer

We'll run where lights won't chase us
Hide where love can save us
I will never let you go

We'll run where lights won't chase us
Hide where love can save us
I will never let you go

Breathing you in when I want you out
Finding our truth in a hope of doubt
Lying inside our quiet drama
We'll run where lights won't chase us
Hide where love can save us
I will never let you go

We repeated this song a few times before finally finishing it and getting a swarm of cheers. I smiled and looked to Church before doing a small fist pump.

“Alright ready for the second one? And also the last one... Hehe.” Church said with a small chuckle.

“Why not? Alright shall we begin?” I said getting my guitar ready again.

“You are leading this time remember that.” Church said.

“Great put me in the spotlight.” I said beginning to strum on the guitar. I began to play a more upbeat melody. Without any hesitation this time I began to sing

There was a time I used to look into my father's eyes
In a happy home I was a king, I had a golden throne
Those days are gone, now the memories are on the wall
I hear the songs from the places where I was born

Then Church began to help with the chorus.

Up on the hill across the blue lake,
That's where I had my first heartbreak
I still remember how it all changed
My father said,
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now"
Yeah!

"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now"
Yeah!

Then I was back on my own as we reached to next verse.

There was a time I met a girl of a different kind.
We ruled the world, I thought I'd never lose her out of sight.
We were so young, I think of her now and then
I still hear the songs reminding me of a friend

(Chorus)
Up on the hill across the blue lake,
That's where I had my first heartbreak
I still remember how it all changed
My father said,
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now"
Yeah!

Oh, oh, oh!
See heaven's got a plan for you
See heaven's got a plan for you
See heaven's got a plan for you

"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now"
Yeah!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! (x3)
Yeah!

As we finished the song we both let in small gasps from singing for a long time. I turned to Church as the crowd was silent.

“Did we do bad?” I asked him. Church just sat there with a huge smile on his face until I slowly heard claps coming from the back rows then slowly infecting the middle ones until all of the crowd was roaring and applauding. I looked over to reach, but now with a equally large grin.

“I guess that answers that.” I said before breaking out into a triumphal laugh. I walked over and pulled Church onto his feet. “Well? It’s tradition to take a bow isn’t it?”

“Hell yes!” Church said with a chuckle and bowed. I mimicked his reaction before hopping off the stage and walking out of the Theater with Church.

“Well that escalated quickly.” I said sighing happily. “By the way I am gonna need to crash on your couch tonight.”

“It’s no problem man, If Lyra needs a place too she can take my bed I can just check in on a hotel.” Church said with a small smile.

“Oh blah. I can take the floor if it comes down to that. I have gone camping before and I slept on a boulder. Can’t be much different.” I said smirking before breaking into laughter. Church soon joined in on the laughter since it was really infectious. Much like yawning.

“Oh well...I am going to grab my Black Ops 2 copy and then wanna kill some zombies?”

“Sure! I just have to go and say to the renters that I pulled some overtime this week won’t take too long, but here take the key to my dorm.” Church said as he handed over the key and went the other way.

“Sweet. Anyway meet you there.” I said before walking to the stairwell.

‘Today wasn’t that bad actually.’ I thought.
