I looked up at the massive complex of buildings, I was standing only thirty meters away from the place I'd be living for the next four years, the FillyDelphian Academy of Fine Arts. The dormitories were the closest to Rainbow, Fluttershy, and I, so we decided to visit the offices to find out what Dorm I would be staying in.

As the three of us approached the building, we noticed dozens of other families with colts and fillies my age walking the grounds together, including a certain colt that I hadn't seen since the last time I was in Trottingham. I saw him crossing a large open area to a dormitory and then disappear inside.

"Scoots, over here!" Rainbow called, I had apparently stopped walking to look at him.

I trotted over to my parents as they reached the office door. The three of us shuffled inside and Fluttershy went to the front desk and had a small conversation with the mare who was situated there.Not long after she went up there, she returned with a small set of information papers.

"Alright, we just have to fill these final papers out about your characteristics, and then we'll get your dorm number." Fluttershy said as she sat down near me and Rainbow.

"Favorite music, favorite sports, sexual preference?" What kind of questions are these?" Rainbow scowled as she shuffled through the papers.

"They probably just want to make life as comfortable as possible for her." Fluttershy said to Rainbow, glancing at me.

"I don't know....." Rainbow elongated her phrase, which was silenced by a smug look from Fluttershy.

"What?" Rainbow asked quizzically.

"It's so cute that you're looking out for Scootaloo." Fluttershy said, Rainbow failed at suppressing a blush.

'Alright, time to fill out the forms." We all sighed as we started to file through the questions, Rainbow or Fluttershy occasionally asking me things that they didn't know how to fill out.

"Ahem," Fluttershy cleared her throat, "Preference?"

"What?" I asked her, she was blushing, so naturally Rainbow took over the job.

"Scoots, what are ya into? stallions, mares?" Rainbow asked simply.

"Uhh, colts?" I half asked/answered.

"Simple as that." Rainbow checked a box on the form.

The rest of the form signing went quickly, once I had signed my name on the bottom of the third paper, Fluttershy h\slid the paper over to the information mare. She looked up my name and handed me the key to my room.

"Anacrusis, room 44." I read aloud as the three of us headed for the first dorm.

"Alright Scoots, you know how to defend yourself and stuff, right?" Rainbow asked nervously.

"Rainbow, I know this stuff, you don't have to worry." I said, she was so nervous!

"Looks like you're on the 4th floor." " Fluttershy said as the three of us looked around the lobby.

"Now where is the elevator." I asked, not fully realizing my own abilities.

Fluttershy and Rainbow both looked at me, and then Rainbow slowly gestured to her wings, and then Fluttershy's, and then finally mine. We silently flew up the stairs and arrived at my dorm room.

"Do you need help moving in or?" Rainbow asked with a hoof on Fluttershy's shoulder.

"I've got it from here, I love you guys." i said, a tear came to each of their eyes.

"We love you too." Fluttershy said.

"Alright, I 'll call you soon!" I said as they started walking off.

Rainbow trotted up to me quickly and gave me an extra kiss on the cheek, "Stay safe kid."

"I will." I said as she left me.

With that, the two of them left the floor and exited the building, and then finally the entire campus. I slid the key into the door and clicked the lock, when I opened the door there were two sides of the room, one had a few bags covering the bed, so I assumed that was my room mates belongings.

The walls of the room were white, and one was a window facing the grounds in the center. The rug was a dark blue with occasional black star pattern across it. I left the room with the key tucked under my wing as I headed towards the common grounds.

I passed a few groups of fillies along the way, each of them contained in their own conversation, paying no attention to the outside world. Once I reached the bottom floor, I looked along all of the fliers, each talking about a club, dance tryout, play trout, or something else like that.

I flew outside and examined the grounds from above, there were about 20 buildings, each of which was in a specific area. I was in the split dorm between the dancing and singing areas, there were also orchestral, theatre, and art areas on the campus.

I flew around the campus, high enough where I wouldn't be noticed by anyone but other flying pegasi, yet low enough where I could still see details of the grounds. Not only was I looking for any interesting things on campus, but i was also looking for Red, I knew I'd seen him earlier.

After a few minutes of searching around the campus, i decided to make a stop by the theatre area to see if anything was going on in the performance hall. I walked through the doors of the hall and sat near the back as he drama colts and fillies were trying out some skits.

I sat there and watched about half a dozen skits before the ponies were dismissed, one filly stood out to me in particular, she had a blonde coat and a matching light orange mane. As she approached the exit, I stopped her.

"Hey, you were great on stage!"

"Oh, thanks!" she smiled, she looked to be about my age.

"My name is Scootaloo, yours?"

"Peachy King." she hoof-bumped me.

"Sweet, wanna hang out?" I asked.

"Sure!" she said, and then the two of us trotted out of the door.
