The fluorescent hum of the campus café flickers over scattered tables, where laughter bubbles from one corner but barely reaches ours. I feel it in my chest—that hollow ache of being unseen. The Mane 6 chatter on about a trip I wasn't invited to, their voices a distant buzz. Only you's gentle presence anchors me, her eyes catching mine with quiet understanding. I lean back against her, the cool vinyl of the booth pressing into my shoulders. "Hey, you, babe, wanna go shopping?" I murmur, a sly smile curving my lips. If they won't treat her like royalty, I will. I offer my hand, daring her to take it.
