“It feels different around here recently,” Lyra commented as we sat around our lunch table. “Can’t put a finger on it.”

I slid in between her and Derpy with my own tray. I alternated the days I sat with each group. Derpy being here did take priority over the Rainbooms so I sat here more often. If we had big enough tables, I’d sit both groups together so I didn’t have to bounce around all the damn time. It certainly would make my life way easier.

“I agree,” Derpy sighed as she looked around curiously. “Hey my unicorn.” She kissed my cheek.

“Hey my pegasus,” I kissed back as Lyra rolled her eyes.

“You guys have some weird ways of flirting,” she commented as she tossed a cheez it in her mouth.

“You’re one to talk,” I retorted. “You call Bon Bon your little baker all the time.”

“And she calls you her little musician,” Derpy added with a grin.

“Okay fair enough,” Lyra admitted. “You got me there.” A girl with light turquoise skin with amber hair that had gold stripes in it sat on the empty end of our table on the fat side.

“Who’s that?” Bon Bon whispered. I gave a shrug as we glanced at her.

“I don’t know. She’s been sitting there by herself for the past few months before we went to Equestria. Derpy has been trying to be her friend but she doesn’t talk that much. She sits there, eats and leaves,” I answered. “I think she used to be on the soccer team with me.” The others had been surprised when I expressed in joining the soccer team. Even more when I ended up being one of the best players. Even Spitfire thought I was good. Plus, Soarin really liked me after I stood up for him that one time.

“Used to be?” Vinyl raised an eyebrow. “What happened there?”

“She and Dash allegedly had a falling out and Spitfire kicked her off the team. I wasn’t there for that because I was sick that week but it was apparently important. Spitfire and Fleetfoot barely separated the two before fists were thrown,” I explained.

“That’s kinda worrying,” Bon Bon admitted. “I’ve heard her speak before. It’s rare but it happens.”

“Hey there Piggly Wiggly!” A boy shouted as he walked past the Rainbooms table.

“What the hell is a piggly wiggly?” Lyra asked as we watched Applejack slump further into her seat with a bright red face.

“It’s Applejacks nickname when she was a kid. I don’t know how it became public knowledge,” I answered as the two boys walked past our table laughing.

“Why piggly wiggly?” Vinyl asked curiously as we watched the cafeteria burst into laughter. Trixie and Lavender Lace were the ones laughing the hardest as Fuschia wiped a tear out of her eye. They were the Rainbooms biggest competition so it made sense they would laugh.

“I have no idea. Applejack said nothing about why she got it or how,” I sighed as I pulled Derpy into a one armed hug. “You can still eat right?”

“Yes of course,” Derpy smiled as she ate some of her pasta. I bit into my pear and sighed contently. Not only did I have one of my favorite people with me, I had my favorite fruit. I would never admit this to Applejack but pears are better than apples.

“Oh boy look at Strawberry Sunrise,” Lyra hid a smile behind her flavored water. Sure enough, the girl was walking past the table with a smirk.

“Not only does the farm hand like the worst fruit ever but she’s also called piggly wiggly!” Strawberry shouted with a giggle as she gave a grin Applejacks way. “Makes sense because she spends all her time with farm animals.”

“I always did like her,” Vinyl admitted. “She has a great taste in rock music. Same with her electronic music.”

“Well you better get ready to fawn over her more because here she comes,” Lyra pointed with a fork. Sure enough, the strawberry farmer was strolling up to us with a large grin.

“Great work Sunset. That was so funny of you!” She patted me on the back before smacking her knee in laughter. “Piggly Wiggly man that ain’t ever gonna get old!” We all watched her walk away with confused expressions. The girl at the far end of the table got up with a empty lunch tray and walked away to the lunch line, dropping her tray off. She shot Rainbow and Spitfire an angry glare as she walked out of the room. I raised an eye brow when she sat down at Aria’s table and the two started talking and laughing. I’d have to ask her about this later.

“Wnat was that about?” Derpy asked after a second. We all gave shrugs before resuming eating.

“I have no idea.”

“So what do you wanna do now?” I asked Derpy as we laid in my bed hugging. I trailed a hand up and down her side slowly as I kissed her.

“I think this works,” Derpy whispered after I pulled back from her. “You could bring me some water please.”

“Okay,” I kissed her on the forehead and stood up.

“Is Cheerilee home?” She suddenly asked before I opened the door.

“No. She’s out getting groceries, why?” I gave her a confused look.

“Just curious. Thanks Sunny,” she gave a nervous smile. I tilted my head to the side before I left the room and stepped to the kitchen. I got a cup down and filled it with water before turning the sink off and walking to my room.

“I got your water Derpy,” I stared at her and turned red. “Uhm Derpy? You’re uh naked?” Derpy turned bright red herself as she tossed her shirt aside and took the cup of water.

“I know. Let’s go to bed and do more than sleep. After all, we are home alone,” she cupped my cheek and kissed me. I took a nervous breath and nodded as I fumbled with the door and locked it.

“Okay. Only if you’re sure about this.”

“I am.”

Author's Note

Fun fact: Strawberry Sunrise is one of my favorite pegasi. Gonna leave a whole list. Leave a comment of who your favorite pegasus!

1: Derpy(queen of all pegasi!)
Blossomforth, White Lightning,Cloudkicker
Raindrops, Sassaflash. They are all tied for first place. Blossomforth was only in two episodes I think and the other four are all wonderbolts. I don't even have to explain Derpy. Everyone loves her for the obvious reasons.

2: Sprinkle Medley
Strawberry Sunrise
Cloudchaser
Flitter
Highwinds
Soarin
Spitfire (can't go wrong with her)
Surprise
Fleetfoot
Silverspeed(I love that mf but just have no real good place to put her. She really should go in the number one spot because all those ones are tied for that spot. Derpy has a slight edge over the rest though.)
