Pony Drug Party

"C'mon, Twi, you've been down there for three days! Applejack sent me to check on you! Are you alright?"

"Just ten more minutes, Dash, alright?"

Rainbow Dash sighed as she leaned against the wall, forelegs crossed. She hated to admit it, but Applejack was right. Twilight never locked herself in her lab like this. She had pulled all-nighters before, but never like this.

"Hey, Twi, you know Applejack got hurt, right? Barn feel on her. Her leg is bent like crazy weird-"

"Five minutes and I'll entertain whatever horseapples you're blabbering on about!"

Rainbow Dash grimaced.

"Hey Twi, I could bring you down something to eat-"

"No!"

"Drink?"

"No contamination in the laboratory!"

Sheesh, Rainbow Dash thought. She pulled a ball from one her saddlebags and started bouncing it against the wall. After a few minutes, she heard clopping coming from the basement. She put her ball back in her saddlebag and faced the basement door. It swung open with a purple glow, and revealed Twilight, her mane all mussed up, her wings folded haphazardly by her sides. In front of her floated a vial filled with a clear liquid. Twilight's eyes were bloodshot.

"Say hello to mind expansion!" Twilight said with a crazy smile.

Fluttershy was sitting nervously in the reception area, fussing with her hooves. She wasn't sure what she was doing here, as she looked around. There was a colt foal nagging his mother, her shushing him. On the other side of the room was a businesspony reading the Manehattan Times. He looked calm and collected, not at all like someone who should be seeing a psychiatrist. Not like her at all-

"Miss Fluttershy-"

Fluttershy shrieked and held up her hooves in front of her.

The pony looked at her. "It's time for your appointment."

"Oh, ok." Fluttershy said and she got up and trotted into the office. The pony closed the door behind her.

"Hello, Fluttershy. My name is Gentle Soul, and I'll be seeing you today," Gentle Soul said as she sat on the chaise lounge behind her desk. "Why don't you have a seat, dearie?"

"O-ok," Fluttershy said as she propped herself up on the chaise lounge opposite Gentle Soul's.

"So, Fluttershy, what brings you to my office?" Gentle Soul asked quietly.

"Well, Ms. Soul, I've been...worried, lately."

"Everybody worries, Fluttershy."

"Not like this. I look outside, waiting for doom to fall on me. I don't snap out of it until my Angel bunny kicks my leg and reminds me to feed him. Sometimes I drink until the worry goes away. And sometimes, I...I..."

"Yes, Fluttershy?"

"...I wish I wouldn't wake up." Fluttershy said as she looked away, cheeks flushed in red.

"Well, then," Gentle Soul said while shuffling some papers, "it appears to me that you suffer from anxiety."

"Anxiety? What's that?"

"What you just described, dear. I'm," Gentle said as she magicked up a prescription pad and a pen, "going to write you a prescription for Ponax."

"W-what's that?"

"Something that'll help with the anxiety, dear," Gentle Soul said with a warm smile, "just take it as directed." Gentle Soul flew the prescription over to Fluttershy, who grabbed it with a hoof, examining it.

"Ponycontin? What's this fer?" Applejack asked the doctor.

"It'll help with the pain, Applejack."

"But ahm not in any Pain, Docter Caramel,"

"That's because you're on a morphine drip-"

"And who-ee, isn't it somethin else! By tha way, dosage time!" Applejack cried out as she hit a button on the side of her bed, pinning her pupils as it released another dose into her system.

"-you know, Applejack, the morphine is there for when you need it, not to get your jollies off."

"Ah know thayat, Doctor. Have you seen tha way that mah foreleg bent?" Applejack said as she tried to move her foreleg, then winced.

"No point trying to move it, Applejack. The leg's in a cast to help it heal, and to,protect it from its owner, apparently." The doctor said as he lightly rapped on the cast. "You're free to go, Applejack."

"I am? Really? Yee-haOW!" Applejack winced as she bumped the cast.

"Now stay off the leg, and take that prescription EXACTLY AS prescribed, you hear? This isn't the morphine drip..."

"Ah know, ah know...just one more dose?"

Doctor Caramel yanked out the I.V. from Applejack's arm. She yowled in pain.

"...Guess that's a no then, huh?"

Zecora was alone in her hut, doing some dusting. Suddenly, she felt that she wasn't alone.

"Where are you, and do not lie
I can see even without my eyes."

A pink pony popped out from behind the table, spraying confetti everywhere.

"Hey Zecora!" Pinkie said."Whatcha doin?"

"I am dusting, as you can see
Do you have the cookies I ordered for me?"

"Yeah, they're right here!" Pinkie exclaimed as she pulled out a box from...somewhere. Pinkie started sniffing around, noticing an odd smell. "What's that smell? It smells...weird," Pinkie noted as she put the box on the table.

"It is a plant from beyond the Veldt
Cannabis is what you have smelt"

"Cannabis? What's that?"

"You may know it as pot or grass
I smoke it to enjoy time passed"

"You smoke it?" Pinkie asked, "but smoking's bad for ponies!"

"One puff of this, I do not lie
You'll feel as if you could surely fly"

Pinkie sat on her haunches, chin in hoof, as if considering the words that the zebra said. She sat there for a minute, as which point Zecora was starting to get worried. She waved her hoof in front of the pink pony's face, at which point Pinkie Pie snapped out of her thought and belted out, "Let me try it, Zecora!"

"Are you sure, my friend in pink?
It may be more intense than you think"

"C'mon, Zecora! Please?" Pinkie looked up as Zecora, her eyes wide and pleading.

"If this it truly what you desire,
Grab me a flint with which to light the fire"

Pinkie's eyes lit up. "Yeah! Smoking pot with Zecora!"

Rarity's pupils were dilated as she scurried around her Inspiration Room. The Ecstasy she had taken earlier had kicked in, she noted as she felt the glorious softness of the rug beneath her. She grabbed some blue silk, rubbing it across her cheek. It felt like water in a lake. She trotted across the room, looking around the room, the colors seeming to call out to her.

She then found what she was looking for. A sheet of white ermine lay on the floor, saying her name. She ran her hoof across the material, shuddering as she felt the fuzzy pillow in her hooves.

"Rarity, are you cold?"

Rarity froze. Sweetie Belle was behind her and saw her shuddering over the material. She had to think fast.

"Yeah, Sweetie, and I could use a hug!" She declard as she grandly walked across the room and hugged her sister, who squealed and smiled at the wanted intrusion, "Did you know that I love you?"

"Of course you do, Rarity, we're sisters, silly!" Sweetie Belle replied. Rarity stayed in the hug for a while, rubbing her hoof along her back. Sweetie started to feel the hug go on for too long. "Rarity?"

"Yes, my darling sister?"

"Can I go now? You've been hugging me for like, forever."

Rarity smarted at that comment. "Ok, Sweetie Belle, you may go."

"Thanks for the really great hug!"

Rarity nodded as Sweetie Belle hopped away, clearly pleased with making her sister's day. She walked back across the room, grabbing the ermine and silk then immediately went into her designing room. Maybe a cape, she thought...

"So what's this stuff again?" Rainbow Dash asked as she grabbed the sugarcubes for Twilight and set them on the counter.

"Lysergsäure-diethylamid, Dash," Twilight said while grabbing two sugarcubes out of the jar and laid them down on the counter.

"Lisergsawre dyetehameed?" Dash pantomimed, poorly.

"Just call it LSD, Dash," Twilight admonished Dash as she pulled out a dropper from one of the drawers, dipped it in the flask of liquid, and drew out two dropfuls. "LSD was created by Albert Hoffpony 76 years ago. It's supposed to be some kind of hallucinogenic-"

"Which is what, exactly?"

"I don't know, exactly," Twilight said as she dropped a drop on each sugarcube, "it's supposed to 'expand the mind' or something. Wanna try it with me?"

"I dunno..."

"Please?" Twilight begged.

"Ah, ok," Rainbow said resginedly, "so how exactly do we do this?"

"Well, it says in my notes that we just put the sugarcubes on our tounges and let it dissolve in our mouths, like this." Twilight said as she levitated one cube into Dash's mouth and one into hers. They sat in the main library and waited for the sugarcubes to dissolve. They waited for a minute, then Dash groaned.

"Come on! When is this supposed to happen?" Dash whined.

"Just sit tight. It says it's supposed to take up to two hours to kick in."

"Two hours!? Ya could have told me before you roped me into this!"

"Just be patient, Dash. It'll all be worth it, I hope."

"Now that you mention it, I am feeling kinda funny..."

2 HOURS LATER

Dash was staring ahead at nothing in particular. Twilight was giggling while swirling several books around her, seemingly entranced by the marvelous show.

"Dude, dude, dude!" Rainbow Dash said suddenly, "I figured it out!"

"What did you figure out, Dash?" Twilight asked goofily.

"Everything...is rainbows!"

"What?"

"No, no, no, hear me out! You know the sun, right?"

"Yeah..." Twilight said, slowing her book-swirling.

"And how it shines, right? Well, we learned in weather school that the sky is blue cause water droplets in the sky catch blue light. You with me so far?"

"Yeah..."

"And water makes rainbows! And we're mostly water, so we're rainbows!"

"You just proved that ponies are rainbows."

"Yeah!...wait, what did I say?"

"You said everything was rainbows!"

"Yeah? Oh, sorry. I meant ponies were rainbows." Dash giggled sheepishly.

"So ponies are rainbows..." Twilight mused while looking at her books. She looked at her swirling books, noticing that they were in a hexagonal shape. Suddenly, her eyes shined.

"Dash, get up!"

"...why?"

"I just came up with something! We have to get to Carousel Boutique!"

"...why?"

Twilight grabbed Rainbow's hoof and flew out the door with her, "No time to explain! Let's go!
