Day 89 - Richard Dickinsun - Room 8

“SHUT THE FUCK UP!” Fluttershy screamed as she rolled over uncovering me from my peaceful sleep. It’s good to know that she isn’t always sleep and the grumpy has to come out sometimes too…but seriously, I was pretty sure there has been some drunk guy pounding at our door for the last hour…you know, between 1 am and 2 am…ugh…fuckit. I’ll go see what the bastard wanted. I slowly extricated myself from Fluttershy’s arms, lightly kissing her cheek before leaving the room. Halfway through the kitchen I realized pants…that was all, just pants. And then finally realized I wasn’t wearing any as I opened the door to find not one, but two people standing outside my door…One of which I have never seen before, the other I have seen too damn much.

“Ummm…hello?” I eloquently stated in my 2 am voice. “Do you need something?”

“Yes actually, we have just received our thirtieth noise complaint from this young lady here,” with that he motioned to the girl standing next to him, my god damn study obsessed neighbor. I swear she was worse than Twilight. “And she would very much like you to stop, however being the number of complaints it is imperative that you speak with our Dean of Students.”

“Uh huh…uh huh…yeah see I follow everything, except for that small little fact that…it’s 2 in the god damn morning. Why are you people awake?”

“Our dean only works at night.”

“Ahhh yes, because that’s the most normal habit for a Dean…godfuckinaodijfpoitjasd;kfj….fine.”

“Good, allow me to escort you there now.”

Looking back, I probably should have seen the fist coming…and you know…I wish I would have known that that was my neighbors boyfriend…and I should have known that he isn’t a very happy RA as, because it happens, he is the RA for Scotts floor…

“Good evening Mr. Dickinsun.” An ethereal voice that seemed to float from the darkness itself trilled. “I don’t believe that we have had the pleasure of meeting before.”

“I…uh…don’t think we have, no…” This much speech so soon after my jaw almost being knocked off managing to surprise myself while trying to get my feet underneath me from where I was unceremoniously dumped by that fucking RA.

“Yes, and I wish it were on much more…pleasant…terms.” She then spun around in her large swivel chair, you know, all Godfather-like, and I finally got a good look at her…and oh my Celestia…I couldn’t believe my eyes. Here sat a woman who couldn’t have looked a few weeks older than me, yet with an almost glowing blue hair with, and bear with me on this, stars floating there. Yeah, I was freaked out too. But isn’t the Dean of a school usually you know…a little older…and more masculine? I don’t know, just me I guess.

“Yes, I completely agree with that…ummm…miss?”

“Luna. I believe you have met my sister?” My jaw hit the floor. This…this, stunning young woman…is the sister of Celestia…what the fuck!

“I…uh…yeah…uh…”

“I take it she didn’t mention that I was here did she?”

“Well…uh…no…uh…you see…I didn’t expect you to look so…ummm…young…” At this a slight blush touched her pale skin.

“Thank you…but in all seriousness, you aren’t going to be punished, just try and keep the volume down. And hopefully I will be seeing you again later.” With that she winked and I ran straight out of the room trying to get my heart rate under control…did I just get hit on by someone who in her own dimension is a goddess? WHAT THE FUCK HAS MY LIFE BECOME!?!?

Day 89 - Scott Scottson - Room 3

YES! YES! YES! ALL OF MY YES! There was only about a week and a half left before Christmas break, and I was sooo looking forward to it. I'd finally be able to go home, spend some time with normal people, fuck my ex, the works. And to make it better, I woke up this morning and saw that white stuff was falling down from the sky. And I looked out the window and it was snowing! Awesome!

So it may have been 6 in the morning (I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in ages), but I got up anyway and took a look at the school's website, and sure enough classes were cancelled. I was extremely happy cause now I could put off my work until Friday morning rather than this morning. So I slipped out of bed as quietly as possible, trying not to wake up Applejack, who for once was in the bed on the other side of the room, and made my way to the kitchen. I got myself out the most classics of breakfasts, a poptart and some milk. I was determined to make this a good snow day.

'beep'. And what a way to start the day. A phone message from Twilight. I really didn't want involved in any of this insanity right now. Just one normal day was all I wanted. Was that too much to ask? So I put the phone on the counter and went to enjoy my "meal."

'beep.' Twilight again. Ugh, who taught her how to use a cellphone?

'beep.' "DAMMIT!" I almost yelled, covering my mouth just in time to keep the noise at a minimum. I angrily looked down at the phone, but then I noticed that the message was from Guy this time. A little better, but I still wasn't in the mood for talking to any of them.

'beep.' This time from Richard.

'beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep.' All from Richard. God dammit. Maybe I shouldn't have spammed his chat yesterday. Grudgingly, I picked up my phone and keyed in the password. "Scott, we're working on the project today. Show up when you get this." Why did they want to waste a perfectly good snow day? "Assholes," I said to the phone, "I'm going back to bed."

'beep.' For some reason I shivered when I saw that there was one last message from Twilight. "And if you don't show up, I can always just report all the drinks you've been having. <3"

"Scott, how's it going in there?" I heard Guy yell to me.

"It's really dry. I think we need to turn the heat down a little."

"I expect you to go faster if I do. The rest of us like it warm."

"But you're not inside it. Besides, any faster and I'll probably break it."

"For the love of... fine. Twilight, could you hit the AC? ... Ugh, please?"

I was having a lovely look at the inside of the machine, checking all the parts one by one. It was a really annoying task. Or, at least that's what everyone else thought I was doing. Guy and Twilight were working together on the coding while Richard was doing whatever it is Physics students did. But hey, what they didn't know won't kill them, right? I can't get enough of these damn cat gifs. Right now, I was watching an adorable cat flap its tail back and forth, sitting inside a box. I sympathized with the bored look on the cats face. It was trapped in box, unable to escape the dullness. Me too. Honestly, this whole thing might be more trouble than it's worth. At first this FIMFIC thing seemed kind of cool, like "oh hey, I get to be part of something awesome!" But as time went on, it just kind of became more of a liability.

"Guys?" I yelled out of the machine.

"I turned it down, damn it!" Guy bitched at me. Geez.

"No, this is something else." I said, throwing in some attitude.

"Whadya want?" He replied, not really sounding like he cared.

"Do we really have to finish this FIMFIC thing? I mean come on, it feels like we're doing the same thing day in and day out, and we never get anything done."

There was some mumbling that I couldn't make out, and the only thing I heard was something about how much of a blast I was to be around.

"Yes, Scott. We have to finish it. That's why we're here, genius. Ya know, you could try and contribute an idea for once, and maybe it would go faster." Came as a reply from Richard. He was talking to me like I didn't contribute anything to the group! What an ass! I put in entertaining commentary and lightened the mood with gifs from Cheezburger. That's plenty of a contribution!

I kept that thought to myself and went back to silently pretending to work. Being stuck inside this thing gave me a lot of time to think. That wasn't healthy, and often left me grumpy. Today my thoughts went to how sick I was getting of all this. Just this morning I had to meet with Rarity and Applejack... and the school guidance counselor. The students next door had been complaining about sounds passing from my room through the walls. This seemed to be a recurring theme at this school, but Richard's neighbors never did more than complain to him about it, get a night of peace, and then complain again the next night. Mine weren't so courteous. One time. I screamed one time! Anybody in their right mind would scream when AJ started getting rough. It hurt so good, damn it. Then Rarity started to scream when she saw the blood, and soon it was a scream off between the three of us. The rest of the floor didn't appreciate that, and one of the RAs that wasn't Twilight showed up in our room to a scene that he probably won't ever be able to get out of his brain. And for whatever reason, I thought it was hilarious for someone else to share in on my daily life and started cracking up. His response was "Oh god, why are you laughing? It's everywhere!"

And that went on to a councilor meeting, where we had to get briefed on "healthy relationships." And I'm pretty sure almost everything the councilor said went right over their heads. It wasn't anything overly complex for a normal human, but... you know the rest. So I don't think our neighbors managed to resolve very much in the long run. Man, that RA seemed pretty pissed the last time he was over. Well, maybe someone else would slip up and take some of the heat off my back. A boy can dream.

But no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't focus on this stupid work. Sometimes I wish something could just get me out of this mess...

"Scott, are you done with that coupling I asked you to look at yet?" Richard's voice held a clear hint of agitation. So I decided to make things 'better' for him.

"Nope!" I shouted out at him. And for added measure, I tossed a screwdriver out the top in no particular direction.

"Fuck! Eye!" I heard Guy yell. Seemed liked her was always getting hit in the head with one thing or another. I think I heard Twilight ask something like "You okay?" before there was a loud bang as (what was probably) equipment tumbled to the ground. A second later there was a click, more stuff falling to the ground, and something that terrified me to the core. The machine had begun to hum.

"Oh god, oh god, oh god!" I yelled out, desperately trying to struggle my way to the top of the machine. But there were parts and wires all over that made it hard to grip anywhere without getting tangled. "Damnidamnitdamnit!" The space around me started to get more and more compact, and that's when I realized everything was collapsing in on itself. With me still stuck inside! Shit! Wait. And in that moment, I accepted my fate as the machine imploded on itself, and my world went black. At least I finally got away from this mess. And so I went out, realizing I needed to be like a cat. Not give a flying fuck.

Day 89 - Richard Dickinsun - Secret Room Debris

So Scott once again was taking forever, but you know, that’s nothing new, this fucking schematic though…something about it just isn’t lining up, it should be working, but the supports on the outside don’t seem like they would be able to withstand the force that the void between the dimensions would exert…hmmm…maybe I should try to get Scott out before something bad happens…

"Scott, are you done with that coupling I asked you to look at yet?" Hopefully he is…

“Nope!” and I heard something flying through the air and suddenly Guy was yelling “FUCK! EYE!” and that’s when things went to hell. I think Twilight tried to move to help Guy, but there was a loud crash as a whole table's worth of equipment clattered to the ground. I spun around to see what had happened, and that was when my jacket got caught on my computer and the whole desk was cleared…

“FUCK!” Oh god all my work… I tried my hardest to catch the computer, and managed to snag a corner, which managed to slow it enough that it didn’t break in the end, but immediately after I smacked my face into the closest thing for being such an idiot…and that’s when I heard the humming…and apparently so did everyone else because the yelling stopped. I slowly looked up and just in time to see the whole machine disappear into nothing but a pile of burning ashes, and Twilight’s eyes and mine locked…and both our jaws dropped. That’s when the fire alarm went off and the sprinklers came on…and we ran, fast…

You see, we had some chemicals in there…some things we probably shouldn’t have had…you know, hardcore stuff for the machine…and they weren’t supposed to get wet…and well…sprinklers...

About thirty seconds after we got out of the room, the whole thing exploded taking a chunk out of the school. All of us, minus Scott, were standing outside, soaking wet, and silent. As students poured out of the dorms to find out what the hell had just happened, the three of us ran into the rest of our friends. Someone had to break the ice…

“Well, at least something worked out for us…Scott is gone now…” I said with a hesitant laugh…and for the second time that day, I found myself unconscious…later I was informed that Applejack punched me…I thought it was a truck.

Bye Scott. He's totally not gonna be back. Totally. Anyway, it's been a while, and to you people who enjoy this stuff we write for some reason, I apologize. As always, we're working on becoming more consistent. It would be amazing if that happened. That being said, since it's been so long, we're doubling up here, and another chapter will be posted tomorrow. Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoy.

Tehheliclopter - Sorry about the delay everypony. We did end up getting a request for more and by Celestia did that ever make us feel bad. So we put down our hooves and made a solid attempt at getting this out as soon as possible. Expect another three chapters soon...meaning like...before school is out...hopefully. Our personal lives are hectic such as all people's and due to a lot of limiting factors this will slow once summertime hits, but we will try our best to keep the story moving and maybe get out a chapter or two once it begins... Also, anyone else happy that Scott is gone? Or is it just me?

S&S - So I accidentally hit the publish button when I was working on the next chapter instead of edit cause my laptop is ultra-sensitive, and I felt bad that it showed up on the updated slot, so screw it, I'll put this out a little earlier than I planned.
