After the call

Spike smiled as he talked on the phone with Scootaloo. It was a very hot summer afternoon, and through open window of his 3rd story dorm room he could hear the sounds of other students and their parents helping to unload another batch fresh of students.

Unfortunately for some reason the A/C in the dorms was not activate. Numerous phone calls, emails, and text messages later the Campus Property Management Office had sent mass email saying that they would have the issue addressed.

Tomorrow.

So along with the open window Spike had a fan set up in the window. Spike really didn't notice the heat much, but since his roommate wouldn't arrive until tomorrow he has stripped down as he talked to the young mare.

"So I finished and confirmed my registration. On Monday I have an Orientation class. Also I should have my flight transponder bracelet by Monday so I can fly on campus without any trouble with Campus Security. I got an assigned locked storage box for my bike. Oh! And there's a bike shop just a block away from the campus entrance."

On the other end he hears the young mare giggle. "That's awesome! I've got settled in on my end as well. College is wild! I'll be back in Ponyville for Nightmare Night. Hope to see you there! We can go to the dance at the fairgrounds!"

"That would be great!" The dragon said. "Well I should step out and get some lunch. The cafeteria isn't open yet, but there's a sandwich shop nearby. Talk to you. Love you!"

"Talk to you later as well, and love you to!" Then the phone goes quiet. The dragon looks at his phone for a moment. Then he looks up at the doll who had the likeness of the mare he'd been talking to just a moment again. He smiled and then gently booped it on the nose.
