Skips woke up the next day to the sound of soft breathing from the colt next to him. Small rays of sun came through the blinds that covered the window. Skips reached into the air stretching his legs. He decided to climb out of bed and go to the restroom.

After finishing his business, he washed his hooves and entered back into his room to find an empty bed. Huh, wander where he went. Skips shrugged and walked into the living room where autumn sat on the couch.

"Hey skips, you sleep well?" Skips thought back to the night before blushing slightly, "After last night, oh ya." Autumn chuckled, "You hungry? I know a great place just around the corner." Skips nodded and went to grab his coat, "Can we stop by my apartment real quick so I can grab mine?" Skips nodded and they headed out to the restaurant.

After eating some of the best breakfast skips had ever had, the two split ways to go run errands for the day. Making plans to watch a movie that night. "See you later skips!" Autumn waved to skips, "See you tonight!" Skips waved back.

The air itself wasn't necessarily cold, but the wind that pierced through skip's thin jacket was. The university was only half a mile or so away from his apartment, so the walk wasn't too bad. The sidewalks perfectly paved, and big trees lined the sides. The streets of manehattan where lively with ponies. The sun shined on the ground, creating a slight warmth that broke through the cold wind.

Skips walked under a huge arch that read out the schools name, making his way through the crowded courtyard yard. After searching for over an hour, He found the building he was searching for. Through the double doors a grey haired mare sat behind a counter typing away at her keyboard. She looked up to see skips enter, "Hello, welcome to student relations, how can I help you today?" Skips walked up to the desk.

"Hi, I was looking to talk to Ronaldo, he said to come here." The mare typed into her computer, "You're skips I presume?" Skips nodded, "Alright dear, have a seat over there mr.Ronaldo is on his way down." Skips thanked her and went to sit down.

Skips didn't get accepted to this school for his good grades. Really the only good grades he ever got in highschool where in art related classes. He was accepted for his talent, during the first call he had with foal sail the counselor asked to see his work. Skips couldn't draw or paint, but he could use computer programs to make beautiful art. He also let out he made music, to which the counselor asked to see. The school originally tried to get skips into their music program, but skips declined for already explained reasons.

A middle aged colt walked out from behind a closed door, he had a brown mane and grey coat. "Skips! It's so nice to finally meet you." Skips had no idea where the enthusiasm came from, skips didn't view himself as anything out of the ordinary.

"Nice to meet you as well, sir." Skips reached out a hoof, to which Ronaldo returned, "Well we are very happy to have you at our little school. Follow me to my office, we have some paperwork work to go over." Skips followed the colt back to his office.

Skips sat down in a chair opposite of the colt, a big wooden desk sat between them, "Skips I have some good and bad news for you." Skips got comfortable in his chair, "Oh, alright, lay it on me." Skips waited for a reply, as the colt typed at his computer, "Well let's start with the good news. Foal sail university wants to give you a full ride." Skips got visibly happy, a smile grew on his face. "But heres the catch, slash bad news." Skips couldn't think of any bad news that could come from this, "We want you to take our music program and drop graphic design."

Skips didn't know what to think, "So ill only get the full ride if I take music?" Ronaldo nodded, "Well…" skips thought for a moment, "I guess im doing music then."

GROUP CHAT

Skips: Yo vinyl, and octavia, you guys up yet?

Octavia: I am, but vinyl had a late night, so she's still asleep.

Vinyl: nah, I just woke up.

Octavia: About time, its twelve in the afternoon.

Vinyl: Hey, I was up late providing for my sweet octy

Octavia: Right, of course. Skips, was there something you needed?

Skips: ya, so Foal sail offered me a full ride.

octavia: That's absolutely wonderful!

Skips: There's a catch…

Vinyl: What's the catch?

Skips: I have to major in music instead of graphic design.

vinyl: I know your whole rule of using music as a way to make money, but I personally don't see the downside side here.

Octavia: I guarantee you'll be happier with this than you think.

Skips: Thanks guys, I already accepted the offer.

Vinyl: This is so cool, have you figured out what you'll do for work while you go to school?

Skips: Well I actually been meaning to ask you vinyl, do you know any nightclubs around here who need a dj?

Vinyl: Let me ask around.

Skips: Thanks man, you're the best.

Skips trotted past a bakery on his way home, the sweet smell of pastries filled his nose. I could get some snacks for tonight's movie. Skips walked into the warm and cozy shop, the smell of freshly baked goods entered his nose. "How may I help you sir….." the mares eyes widened behind the counter, "Skips?" The mare said with enthusiasm.

Skips didn't seem to recognize her, he looked her up and down. Her mane was a blue and pink, and her coat was a soft yellow, with three candies as her cutie mark. Skips thought for a second, "Bon Bon?" Skips asked not knowing if that was the right answer.

"Yes! Oh I thought you didn't recognize me for a second. We went to highschool together." She walked out from behind the counter, "It's been so long, how are you?" Before skips could speak a mint colored mare walked out from the kitchen, "Hey bon bon, we need su… Skips?" Lyra trotted up next to bon bon.

"Hey guys." Skips waved a hoof, "long time no see for sure." Skips said confused, "Skips, do you have a minute? I just baked some cookies and I also have coffee. Would you like to catch up?" Bon bon asked. "Of course I would." Skips followed bon bon and lyra to the back of the store.

"So skips what has you in town?" Lyra asked sipping her tea, "I'm going to college actually. For music." Skips took a bite out of the soft warm cookie, "This… this is the best cookie ive ever had."

"Thank you skips, I try my best." Bon bon said smiling, "And I always knew you would do music. You and vinyl have always been so good at it." She sipped her coffee, "Speaking of vinyl, do you still talk to her? I know you two where close in highschool."

"Oh ya, her and octavia are my best friends." Bon bon tilted her head, "Octavia?" Skips looked up, not knowing they didn't know about the two, "Oh, right, you two moved away so long ago, vinyl met this mare named Octavia melody. Complete opposites, but they are so cute together. They actually got married a year or so ago." Bon bon and lyra's jaws dropped.

"I guess we have been out of the loop." Bon bon set her coffee down, "What about you skips, are you married yet?" Skips turned red at bon bon's question.

"No not yet, I did meet this amazing colt, that's why I came in here actually. To get snacks for tonight's movie." Bon bon lit up, "I have a couples set filled with yummy chocolates and baked goods!" Skips smiled, "That sounds amazing bon bon, I'll take it."

After skips and the other mares talked for a bit, catching up on each others lives, they set a date to meet up again for lunch. Skips paid for his treats and headed home. It was still very early in the day and autumn wasn't supposed to be coming over for another three or four hours, so skips needed to fill the time.

Skips trotted down the streets of manehattan, taking in his new home. It was a different kind of city than canterlot. Manehattan was more unkempt, and more down to earth, than the upper class lifestyle of canterlot. Cracks on the streets, and on the sidewalks that wouldn't have lasted a day in canterlot. The princesses wanted their royal city kept clean and proper. Manehattan is where hard working business ponies lived, and musicians alike.

As skips looked at all the shops as he passed by them, he spotted a small music shop. Musical hoofs, not a very clever name. Skips shrugged and walked into the shop.

The walls covered in guitars and other string and brass instruments. A young colt walked out from behind a cloth door behind the counter. "How can I help you today?" Skips kept looking around, "Hi, do you have any dj equipment?" Skips needed a proper dj setup if he was going to play clubs in manehattan. "Yes right over there." The colt pointed to a corner of the shop to the right of the counter. Three different controllers sat ready to demo. One of which skips already used.

"So, we have the nupony mixtrax 5, the ponieer cdj-4000…" skips cut him off out of excitement, "I'll take that." Skips walked over to the table and spun the jog wheel, "The whole set? Two cdj's and the mixer?" The colt looked visibly happy, "Yes, if you have it."

The colt gathered the components and placed them on the table, "I have to say, thank you, the shop hasn't been doing too well as of late. And I would have had to shut the doors if you weren't going to purchase this!" Skips blushed knowing this purchase would save a shop owners business. "It's really no problem, I needed a new setup anyways." Skips tried to play it off with much modesty.

"Well I thank you wither way. So the total will be six thousand bits Please." Skips handed the store owner his credit card. Skips wasn't rich by any means, but he did have enough saved up to last him a few months, and any thing else he needed. "Thank you very much sir." Skips walked out of the store, bags hanging over his back, happy with his investment. He knew he would make the money back soon enough.

Skips got a cabs attention as he trotted down the street. "Where to?" The colt asked as skips climbed in, "Greenwood apartments please." Skips placed his new equipment, and basket of treats, next to him and enjoyed his ride back to his apartment.

After setting everything up accordingly, skips took out his phone to take a picture.

GROUP CHAT

Skips: Hey V, wanna be jealous?

Vinyl: Oh boy, what is it?

Skips: look at what I just picked up.
(Picture of the table attached to text.)

Vinyl: Is that?

Skips: Yup, the new cdj's

Vinyl: OMG IM SO BUCKING JEALOUS!

Octavia: Skips why would you do this to me, now vinyl is begging me for one.

Skips: Sorry octavia…

Octavia: I'll get you back for this.

Vinyl: SHE SAID YES!

Octavia: I said yes to get you to shut up.

Vinyl: But you still said yes.

Skips: I'm so sorry about this tavi…

Octavia: You owe me tea when you come to visit.

Skips: I accept this.

Vinyl: Ok we gtg. Momma needs a new setup!

Skips put down his phone chuckling, those two will never get old. Skips began to play with his new equipment, figuring out all the new settings.

He ran through multiple mixes before he noticed his phone was ringing. Skips saw the time, and saw who was calling. Oh buck me, i lost track of time. "Hello?" Skips picked up the phone, "We still on for that movie date?" Skips began to type back, "Yes, I completely lost track of time. I just got a new dj table and was messing with it." Skips heard a knock at the front door.

"Coming!" Skips yelled out through his apartment. Skips quickly opened the door, "You know I can hear you from my apartment. Your poor neighbors." Autumn let himself in, skips closing the door behind him. .

"Sorry about that, I got really into it. Skips rubbed the back of his head, "It's fine babe. I was just bucking with ya. So, what movie did you wanna watch tonight." Autumn turned around and kissed skips softly. Autumns lips where very soft and inviting, leaving skips in. a haze for a moment.

"Oh, uh, I hadn't really planned one out. Just thought we'd hop on ponyflix and see what catches our eyes. Also I got snacks." Skips went into the kitchen, Autumn followed close behind. "Oh boy, what kind of snacks did you get?" Skips opened up the wrapped basket. The pink and purple wrapping falling onto the floor. The basket was perfectly arranged, everything in its proper place. Filled with cookies, mini cakes, and other fresh baked goods.

"This looks amazing skips, where did you buy this?" Skips pulled out a little pouch of chocolate chip cookies, "I found out a friend of mine owns a bakery here in manehattan." Skips and Autumn took a bite in sink with one another. Their eyes widened as the cookie melted in their mouths, "Skips, these are the best cookies ive ever had." Skips took another bite, "I think im right there with you." Skips said covering up his full mouth.

After they finished their treat, skips grabbed the basket and they made their way to the living room. Now that everything was unpacked the apartment came together nicely. A single couch sat in front of a rather large tv and sound system. The two colts sat down and began to scroll through the movies.

"Ponyland?" Skips asked, "Not much of a zombie guy myself." Autumn added, "ponytopia?" Autumn looked at skips, "You like ponytopia?" Skips nodded, "ya, I've seen it many times." Autumn smiled, "That's one of my favorite movies. I'm definitely down for that if you are." Skips smiled and clicked play.

The two got closer together. Skips pulled a blanket over them, and placing a hoof on Autumns thigh. They smiled at each other and continued to watch the movie in peace. Loving each others company.

After the movie ended, and the snacks where depleted. The two colts decided it was time for bed. "Hey skips, you wanna stay at my place tonight?" Skips turned around while walking to his room, "Oh, sure! That sounds fun. Now that I think about it ive only been to your place once, let me brush my teeth and grab some clothes. Can I use your shower?" Autumn chuckled, "Only if I can join." Skips got closer to autumn, getting muzzle to muzzle, "I wouldn't have it any other way." Skips leaned the rest of the way planting a passionate kiss on Autumns lips.

Skips gathered his things, and brushed the sugar and chocolate off his teeth. And headed next door to autumns apartment.

The rest of the night they spent their time holding each other, and other acts that can't be put into a T rated story. They fell asleep in each other's arms, sleeping harder than they have ever before. Before skips closed his eyes for the night he thought to himself, am I supposed to be in love this early in the relationship?
