Limerence

"No. NO. NO!!!" Twilight screamed, "This is unacceptable!"

"Would ya relax Twilight?" Applejack interjected, "I mean this is on Celestia's order."

"But this is a GIRLS dorm!!"

Chris was sitting on a nearby couch. He was glad he had pants on but he still felt the unsettling aura emitting from Twilight.

"Alright, I get it. Its unreasonable for a GUY to stay at a girls dorm. Sorry to cause you trouble." Chris stated, getting himself of the couch and grabbing his pack.

"Are you sure?" Celestia asked, "It would've saved you on rent. Though the commute would be tough."

"Ya, I guess." He responded.

"Because you attend Cancol (Canterlot College), right?"

"Well it's true that I'm trying to get in but..."

"YOU ATTEND CANCOL?!?!" The other girls yell in surprise?

"Well, no. But..." Chris tried to begin.

"Wow that's amazing! You really can't judge a book by its cover. Seriously you don't even look like a Cancol student." Rarity stated, not listening to him in any way.

"What's your major?" She asked.

"Uh... Graphic Arts... but I'm really..."

"Did you hear that?! An artist! I'll bet his works are hung for all to see!!"

Damn it, they just won't listen to me!

"How can you guys just let this go so easily?!" Twilight broke in again.

"Oh come on. What's wrong with him staying one night?" Rarity asked.

"But..."

"Or? Would you really throw him out onto the street? Cold and alone."

"They say that surprise meetings give rise to opportunity of morals. You really are cold Twilight." Rainbow Dash stated.

"You're so mean Twilight." Pinkie Pie jumped in.

Twilight bit her lower lip before letting out a heavy sigh.

"Fine. I guess it wouldn't hurt for one night." She finally said.

"Then it's settled... Welcome to the Starswirl Inn!!!" Applejack greeted.

Chris was almost taken aback the willingness to let him stay, though he knew that it wasn't going to last long. Celestia showed him the room he would be staying at. He noticed it was on the second floor on the west side of the building. Part of the room led off to a balcony and there was a second section for a bathroom and workspace. He laid his backpack on the side of the room and stepped onto the balcony. The view was breath taking, being able to see the ocean on a sunny afternoon and bits of the towns buildings peeking over trees.

Man, I could get used to a view like this.

"I never knew that the Cancol title had such power behind it." Chris sighed, "If only they would listen to me."

"Oh, Hello there." A voice breaks through his thoughts.

"Gah! Rarity?" He yelped.

"So you remembered my name?" She slyly stated, slowly walking towards him. His face getting hot by the encounter.

"Look, I know that you're a Cancol student... but your also a man. So I can understand if you want to peep, grope and steal panties." Rarity giggled.

"That's not it I tell you!!" Chris retorted. His face was more flushed with frustration than with embarrassment.

"Say, Rarity... can I ask you a question?" Chris began once he cooled down a little, "Why does she hate me?"

"Who?"

"The girl with the long, dark hair."

"Oh Twilight? Probably because you saw her naked."

"Makes sense."

"Do you like girls with long hair?"

"No-uh-I mean-wait, that's not what I meant..." Chris stumbled over his words.

Heh heh heh. Just as I thought, he has no experience with girls whatsoever!

"Say, do you have a girlfriend, Chris?"

"Wha-? No. But let's be honest here, with my 'devilish' looks and 'sculpted features', do I even look like I could get one?" He stated, words dripping with sarcasm.

"Well... you do have a sort of charisma."

"Never heard than before..."

"But still." Rarity continued. "I've always wanted a boyfriend from Cancol."

"Where are you going with this?" Chris asked, slightly flustered, and a little suspicious.

"I'm sure its quite bold of me to come out and say that without knowing how you feel." She said, lightly gripping his wrist.

"W-w-what do you mean?!" Chris stuttered, his arm refusing to move except where Rarity was guiding it. His face was getting heated again but multiple thoughts zooming in his mind at the same time.

"Just feel my heart..." Rarity brought his hand to her breast, "beating fast."

Gaaahhhh!!!!!!" Chris's mind screamed and shattered. His body was frozen but the sensation in his hand was warm and soft.

"Hey! What are you two doing in here?!" Twilight yells busting the door open, Rainbow Dash following suit.

"Wait! Wait! I can explain!" Chris began, "I didn't do anything, right Rarity?"

Rarity was on her knees, hands in her eyes to wipe away tears.

"He groped me while saying: 'Is this how you like it?'"

"WHAT?!?! NO! THATS NOT WHAT HAPPENED!"

Chris looked over Twilight's shoulder and saw Rainbow slapping a metal baseball bat in her hand. Her eyes pierced him and she mouthed one word to him: 'Die.'

"Come on Rarity, get away from this pervert!" Twilight barked.

"Ok." Rarity replied, wiping the tears away. As she walked out, Chris noticed a sly smile spread on her face. Chris's mouth was agape, but he didn't say anything; not like they would listen to him anyway. His door slammed and he stood frozen for minutes. He then slumped to the floor and scratched his head at recent events.

"Why do these things happen to me? It's like I'm on a bad hidden camera show."

But Rarity's tits... I never thought that it would be that soft. Like a... marshmallow.

Chris snapped back to reality and found that he had been sweating abundantly for the show Rarity put on. So much than there were dark spots on his jeans. He took them off and hung them over a coat hanger in the closet. But he was still sweating on his brow. He noticed a box of tissue paper on the coffee table and grabbed a few to dab his forehead. There couldn't have been a more perfect time to cause mass unrest than when he brought his hand to his side, because at that moment the door opened.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you... the bathrooms are..." Twilight began before slowly cutting of her words.

You have got to be kidding me. Chris thought before he was running for his life again, Twilight following him with a broom in hand and swinging.

"Geez, no matter where I go I always seem to find Twilight in some award scenario that ends with me running like I'm in the Equestrian Games." Chris muttered to himself has he walked to the bathroom. Without knocking he opened the door but froze in place. The toilet was occupied by none other than Twilight, her panties around her ankles.

"Sorry! My mistake!!" Chris hollered as he was running, Twilight close behind swing her broom. For hours more, Chris was followed by Twilight, armed and ready to swing at him again. He tried speeding up and trying to lose her, but she either kept pace or found him again.

"Why are you following me?!" Chris finally asked.

"Making sure you don't try anything." She responded.

Jeez, why does she treat me like I'm her arch nemesis?

"Oh, Uh. H-hello." Fluttershy jubbled, appearing out from around the corner.

"Oh, hey Fluttershy."

"Can... can I ask you something?"

"Sure, ask away."

Twilight gave Chris the stink eye again.

"Um, I wanted... to know if you would help me with studying?"

"WHAT?!" Twilight gaped.

"Oh, sure. I should be able to handle high school problems. What's the subject?" Chris asked, walking after Fluttershy. Twilight still standing with eyes nearly popping out of her sockets.

"Ok, so you convert this into volts... Carry the seven... and that should give you the amps." Chris tutored, Fluttershy listening intently and taking notes. Twilight was off to the side while Chris and Fluttershy were sitting on a bench in the courtyard.

God, I don't remember physics being this technical.

"There, that should help you solve the rest."

"Oh wow! Thank you!" Fluttershy stated, her face beaming with gratitude. Chris would help but smile a little, though it was short lived as Twilight whacked him on the head.

"OW!"

"Ahem." She bluntly says.

"What's your problem? It's very distracting when you're behind me all the time." Chris retorted.

"I can't let a pervert like you be alone with her!!"

"Pervert?! What did I do to deserve this?!"

"You did enough! You peeped and then there was the incident with the bathroom!"

"How many times do I have to say it to get it in that thick skull of yours?! It. Was. An. Accident!"

"Um, please don't fight." Fluttershy broke in, a worried expression on her face, "He was just helping with my studies."

"I see... then maybe you can help me too." Twilight said, her expression cold.

I don't like where this is going.

"Can you solve these?" She asked, pulling out a thick pocket book.

"Uhp... P-previous questions for the Cancol exam!!" Chris exclaimed, dumbfounded.

"Yes." Twilight continued, "Besides, if you really are a Cancol student, then these should be cake walk."

"Uh..." Chris looked at the book, but then turned to Fluttershy; her eyes where lit up like the sun. They were so filled with admiration and hope.

God damn, how will I get out of this...wait. They think I'm a Cancol student, but I can't prove that I'm not. If I get these wrong. I can't let them think wrongly for long.

"The first answer is (D)." Chris started, throwing the book over his shoulder, not even giving it a second look, "the second is (A), third is (B) and fourth is (C)."

"What?!" Twilight gasped.

Now they'll see how stupid I am... god that was bittersweet.

"They're all correct... that's incredible!" Twilight continued, utterly baffled.

WHAT?!?!? Chris thought, feeling like someone stuck an arrow though his brain.

"Wow Chris you're amazing!" Fluttershy cheered.

"Wait a minute!" Chris pleaded.

"You solved them without even reading the problems! I guess I underestimated a Cancol students abilities." Twilight said without taking her eyes off the book.

"I never knew you where so smart!" Fluttershy continued.

"Oh, thanks."

"Giving Fluttershy the perverted eye. Eh, Chris?" Rainbow Dash appeared out of nowhere, a large knife near to his throat, "Hooking up with high school undergrads is a felony you know."

"Please forgive me..." Chris begged.

"Well Twilight, looks like your plan failed." Pinkie playfully stated, bouncing into the courtyard.

"Chris, this way." Fluttershy whispers, dragging Chris behind her.

As he followed Fluttershy, Chris was up on the third floor roof, but the spot almost took his breath away.

"Wow, I haven't seen a view like this since I went island hopping in the west oceans." Chris said.

"I like this spot because if the view and the birds that fly by here." Fluttershy responded. For a few minutes, the two of them enjoyed the scenery.

"Hey, can I ask you something? And please don't laugh at me."

"Huh? Ok, shoot."

"How did it feel when you got into Cancol on your first try?"

"Oh, about that, I'm not really..." Chris began.

"I bet it felt wonderful." Fluttershy continued, not listening to him, "Since... I'm bad at studying...I'm sure... that I'll never get into Cancol." Fluttershy stated, a somber expression on her face yet there was a hint of content.

"What! That's not true!"

"Huh?"

"You CAN get into Cancol!"

"Oh Chris, you say that because you're smart."

"Being smart has nothing to do with it! Really!" Chris's voice was getting more and more excited, "You can't just give up without even trying. If you work hard and study, anyone can get into Cancol."

Chris's words were reaching towards Fluttershy, building up inspiration.

"I mean, look at me... a schmuck like me was able to."

Oh Shit...

There was a moment of silence before Fluttershy spoke up.

"Thank you. Thank you very much! My grades have been falling and I was feeling down about it." Fluttershy giggled, feeling more and more joyous.

"But you cheered me up! Thank you!" She hollered, running back down to the balcony, a wide smile on her face.

"Um..." Chris muttered, frozen in place.

WHAT DID I JUST DO?!?!?!?
