[PSL - The Cupid In Pink] [High School AU]

[twotailedgenius]

[Tails got his lunch, sat at the table with two of his friends, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Lately, for some odd reason, he had been finding himself looking over at her, and sometimes noticing that she's looking over at him. He smiled, she smiled, nothing seemed odd about it. But for some really peculiar reason, looking at her made his heart start beating faster, and sometimes his cheeks burned a little as well. He didn't really understand it, so he wrote it off as just being happy to be her friend. And maybe that's just how she felt back, right?

Well, it looked like a certain cupid in pink had a job to do that day, because this had been going on for quite some time now...]

[Fluttershy blinked, not quite sure how an English report was "worth the wait". It seemed better to get it done as soon as they could.

But deciding not to question it again, she smiled as they headed for the library.]

[twotailedgenius]

[Tails followed behind Fluttershy after a nod to Pinkie's words... even if they still confused him.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[And onward they go! Eventually they find a nice, quiet-ish corner tucked away on one of the upper levels.]

Perfect~

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...I guess so...though shouldn't we be closer to a computer if we need to do some extra research?

[twotailedgenius]

It's alright, I brought my laptop just in case!

[And he pulls out said laptop from his bookbag, setting it on the table folded up.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

There, see? I knew I could count on you, Tails!

[strengthinkindness]

[Fluttershy nodded.] Mm...okay. That works...

[twotailedgenius]

Hm... okay, so how do we wanna do this?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oh, I've got some outline ideas right here! [She tears out a page that DOESN'T have Fluttertails plotting on it.] I started on 'em while I was waiting for you guys!

[strengthinkindness]

Oh, that's a good idea...

[She takes a moment to read over the sheet.]

[twotailedgenius]

[Tails leaned over a little to look at the page as well, nodding a couple of times.]

That's a pretty good start.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Yay! Thank you, Twilight tutor time!

[Academic writing has never been Pinkie's strong suit, but thanks to Twilight Sparkle, she's able to hash out pretty good theses now.]

[strengthinkindness]

[Jotting down a few ideas of her own on Pinkie's outline, she then glanced at Tails to point out a few, smiling shyly.]

Maybe you could, um...l-look these up?

[twotailedgenius]

[He looked over at the paper again, and then looked at Fluttershy and nodded slowly.]

O-Okay.

[He opened his laptop, and started looking them up...]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Yup, even more Cheshire grinning. And then she "suddenly" comes up with something.]

Oh! You know what, maybe we should order a pizza! We can have it delivered later so we can get a dinner break!

[Thank you, designated food-friendly zones!]

[strengthinkindness]

[Fluttershy blinks.] Deliver it...here?

[twotailedgenius]

[Tails looks up from his laptop screen.] Can you do that?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Yeah, it'd be easy peasy! Maud does it when she's holed up at the library on campus all the time! I just need to be at the door to get it!

[strengthinkindness]

Oh...I didn't know the library allows that...

[twotailedgenius]

[Tails wouldn't have guessed that, either.]

Hey, if it makes it easier to study and spend as much time as we need, I'm all for it.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Yeah, as long as we eat it in one of the study rooms and keep the books clean, we should be fine!

[strengthinkindness]

[Fluttershy nodded.] Okay...that would be a good idea, and it'd save some time...

[twotailedgenius]

Let's do it, then!

[And he's back to looking up the stuff Shy asked him to.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[She's already standing up and pulling out her phone, a HUGE grin on her face.]

Sweet~! So one extra-large works, hold the meat on one side! And I'll tell 'em to have it here about an hour later! Be right back, you two~!

[And she's off to place that call somewhere she WON'T get shushed by the librarian.]

[twotailedgenius]

Alright!

[He starts looking at the page again.] Huh. Is that everything? [He flips the page over, and then just. Stares. A few seconds later, he turns red, and slaps the paper back down right-side up, attempting to get back to work on his laptop.

Hopefully Fluttershy isn't noticing this...]
