>>155559"Oh were are my manners."
He Places the other 100 bits in his hoof
>>155561"That's why she added 'with a father who would sign the birth certificate.' She thinks that Veneer is on track to end up like her, but at a much younger age."
>>155560He meets his hoof to Dark Star's in a hoof-shake, grabbing the money in the process.
"We welcome Lunar Nadir to the class of 1017. Let me write it up."
>>155562He Keeps his cool exterior which he has had the entire time, but inside He feels a massive relief
He Shakes his Hoof
"Great News"
>>155563He calls his secretary, and says that a file for Lunar Nadir was found after being misplaced, and that her place for the 1013 Spring semester had come up on the waiting list
"She will prepare the letter. There's still the matter of tuition."
>>155564"My mother thinks that she will become a single mother, because she will get pregnant by a stallion who will not care to help raise the foal."
>>155565"Your ma was a single mother?" she asks, in a hushed tone.
>>155565"Tuition? How much would that cost?"
>>155570"Interesting. Would you take a down payment? and then i can bring the rest in later today?"
>>155571"I don't handle that, the financial office does. But there is a dead line in a few days to pay the full amount of tuition for the semester."
>>155572"Ok,Thanks For Everything,Sir. You've made a young Mare Very Happy"
>>155574He nods with a pleased smile, and places the coins in his pocket.
"You're welcome"
>>155577Note TakenHe Smiles then heads for the door
>>155578He leaves the office, and on the way out, the Secretary provides Solar night with an acceptance letter for Lunar Nadir.
>>155579"Thank You Ma'am"
He takes it and puts it in his bag
"Much Appreciated."
>>155580The unicorn mare does not smile. She seems a little crabby. But Dark Star has the letter, and a copy in the filing system.
>>155582Dark Star sees Nadir sitting the in the middle of the concrete walkway leading to the building, with her wings next to her, and looking somewhat sad. She sees Solar Night through the glass in the door, and she immediately runs towards him, stopping in front of him and looking up at him. "What happened?" she asks anxiously
>>155583"Oh.....Yea i have some bad news."
He looks down trying to to give away the jest
>>155584The tips of her wings touch the concrete, her mouth opens, and her purple eyes with their slit pupils become very wide
>>155585I Reach into my Bag and pull out the letter.
"You Got Accepted into Jim Haykins!"
>>155586Her eyes focus on the letter, pupils zooming in. Her mouth closes as she looks intently at it. She takes maybe two or three seconds, then her ears perk all the way up, her mouth opens up and lips are pulled back far, her pupils become so wide they are almost circular, and her wings spread out until they are extended all of the way.
In slow motion, Dark Star can see all of this happen, and she jumps up, pushing with her hind legs, abs pounces on Dark Star, very possibly knocking him down. She wraps her forelegs around him
very tightly.
She makes an unnatural “EEEEEEEEEEEEE” sound that’s kind of uncomfortable at that distance.
Then she kisses him. She misses his lips, but it does seem like that was her intent, however poorly executed.
>>155588She makes a few more loud EEEEEEEing sounds, and continues hugging Solar Night
very aggressively, pressing her small body against his as much as she can manage. At least she doesn't attempt to kiss him again.
"Thank you thank you thank you Solar! This means so much to me. I thought I could never get in!"
And now she's crying
>>155589"I Always Keep My Promises,Nadir."
He sees her start crying.
"Aww Hey,Hey Theres no need to cry,Nadir."
>>155590And now she's trying to bury her head in his fur.
"I thought I could never get in..." he hears muffled by his fur
>>155591"She
is married."
>>155592"Im Happy i could help you."
He Hugs Her again
>>155593A few ponies are looking at this scene funnily. Others do not care and literally just walk around the two. She's finally starting to loosen up on him, but she hasn't let go of him. Her fur is short and coarse, for what its worth.
"I can't believe it's real" She says, happy but also evidently crying
>>155594"Im Happy That you are Happy."
He smiles at her and Hugs her once more
>>155595"Thank you..." Okay, she's calming down. Sort of.
Dark Star discovers what it is like to be hugged by bat wings, which she wraps all the way around him, and attempts to close. The surface is soft and velvety.
>>155596He touches her wings with his hoof
"Its no problem nadir. although i am going to have to go treasure hunting to cover the tuition"
He Laughs
>>155597Her wings feel odd. It's a flap of skin with short hairs on it, feeling almost like velvet. At least it's soft.
These last words make her finally pull away, though just enough so that her face is in front of his, looking him in the eyes with a serious expression
"Treasure hunting?"
>>155598"Uh,Yeah."
He looks a little Apprehensive.
>>155600"I mean i dont Exactly have to, But it sounds Fun."
He smiles
>>155601"Like, like, like going into caves or shipwrecks?"
>>155602He Puts his Hoof to his Chin
"Yes."
>>155603She opens her mouth and widens her eyes in astonishment
"I would think you were messing with me but you brought the letter. Is the letter a real letter?"
>>155604"Of Course its Real."
I Laugh
"I Got it Straight From the Secretary. Your Name is in the system."
>>155605She looks at him, looks down, and then pulls away. (She's pretty thoroughly invaded Solar Night's personal space). She grabs the letter, and looks at it more carefully. Her wings slowly move down. After some seconds, she says
"It
is real!"
She stares at him in the eyes, looking at him in amazement
"What else can you do?"
>>155606He Smiles and gives a somewhat Mysterious answer
"Tons"
>>155607Her mouth is partly open, as she stares at this mysterious stallion.
"So..." She sits down in front of him, and touches her left leg on her right
"What about the cost?"
