"I have to stay with you? UGH." I complain, circling around the room I have to share with Nick. Blue and Lauryn decide to be dishes and room together. Of course, Qber and Keara roomed (I ship it so much). Ashley, Reed, and Skillets have roomed together too.

Blue pokes her head in the door, snickering. "BLUE I HATE YOU!"

"Love you too!" She says, going to her own room.

I growl silently, like I do when I rage on a game. I turn around to face Nick and glare at him. He grins and says, "Wink wink."

I scoff once more and start pushing my bed farther from his, mainly out of distrust.

"What are you doing?"

"Anything to be farther from you." I say, pushing while hovering.

"Um, if it isn't to much trouble, I could switch rooms with you, Skelly..." I hear a quiet voice from behind me. Landing, I turn around and see Fluttershy.

"Oh, no, Fluttershy. You don't have to do that." I say politely, even though I know their other - darker - sides.

"Really, I insist." She says.

"Okay..." I agree reluctantly. She gestures for me to follow her, so I do. I turn around and smirk at Nick, who is left alone.

Back at Fluttershy's previous room, I see Applejack shoving something under her bed.

Oh, wow, I forgot to say. =3 All 15 of us are staying in a hotel-like place that Princess Celestia set up for us, right outside of the Everfree Forest.

"Oh, howdy Skelly! What brings yah here?" She greets with a smile. I can see right through it.

"Her friends made her room with Diamond, whom she's not fond of." Fluttershy says before I can. I nod, confirming what she said. "I offered to switch rooms with her."

"Thanks again, Fluttershy." I nod to her again, flipping a part of my mane out of my face.

"It's really no problem." She replies quietly. "Sorry, Applejack..."

"That's really okay, Skelly and Ah here can get to know each other a lil' better, y'know?" She smiles again, and I return it with a nod.

"Okay, I'll leave you two alone then." Fluttershy says, and walks away in the same way we came.

"Sooo... what's it like in yer world?" Applejack asks as I walk towards the vacant bed.

"Um... hands, walking on two legs, and cars. Oh! And technology." I say, suddenly realizing she has no idea what those things are.

"Hands? Cars? What 'er those?"

"Hands are kind of hard to explain, but cars are machines that can take you around anywhere easily."

"Like a wagon?"

"Kinda. But it runs on fuel; no pulling required."

"What about this... technology?"

"You could contact anyone from across the world and stay in your own homes, do a job from a chair, and do simple tasks without magic."

By now she's in awe. "What else is er'?! Yer world sounds awful snazzy!"

I give a small laugh. "Yeah, but it's going to crap. So many bad things that I don't even want to explain." I shake my head, thinking of the shit of America.

"Ah'm not sure Ah really wanna know..." she trails off.

The whole rest of the night becomes story-telling of our different worlds, which is very entertaining; better than any gossip party I ever had with Nicole, Rachelle, and Trinity.

But that night, I can't sleep, forcing me to listen to Applejack's mechanical whining noises and loud clicking. Once, I even heard her wake up, slide out what sounded like a box from underneath the bed, and... well, I can't describe it. But it sounded like she was screwing something into herself- maybe a hoof?

By now I'm terrified, so I silently roll out of bed, hoping I can make my way out of the room silently. Unfortunately, I've never been good at that, but Applejack is a heavy sleeper. Once I'm out of the small building, I take off into the sky. Maybe I have taken to Rainbow Dash.

Flying calms me.

But right now, I can't rid my head of any of this.
