Careful What You Wish For

Chapter 3

I stared at the tall alicorn before me. She had a multicolored mane and tail that flowed in a non-excitant breeze, her coat was a brilliant white and she gave off a kind, calming aura that still held a sense of regality to it. “You must be Princess Celestia.” I said not really knowing how I should act toward the immortal princess. The thought of bowing crossed my mind but I immediately disregarded it. I didn’t bow to any living being, immortal or otherwise. I only bow as a formal greeting if I wish but never to show submission.

Celestia gave a kind smile “That is correct. Twilight has informed me of how you saved the young filly Scootaloo and returned her home safely, for that you have my thanks. She has also told me what little she knows about you and your situation. But I would like it if you told me yourself.”

“I guess I could tell you a little about myself.” I said leaning up against the wall seeing that all the seats were taken. I understand where the princess was coming from, if I ran a country and a strange being from another world suddenly appeared I would want to know as much as I could. “Though I hope you don’t mind if I keep some things private. I don’t know you enough to trust you with everything about me just yet.”

Celestia nodded in understanding. “I did not expect you to trust somepony you just meet so easily, though I hope that we may gain your trust as you gain ours.”

With a nod of my head I began telling them about how I gained my powers, what some of them were, the training I did to help control said powers, and some of what I did over the two years after that, including the events that led me to Equestria. After I finished it was time for Celestia to lower the sun, which I had to say I was curious about I mean who wouldn’t be.

“I have to say Mr. Starlight that is an interesting story.” Celestia said after she lowered the sun taking a sip of her tea that had been brought out near the beginning of my story, as well as a few apples that I had it say were the best apples I’ve ever tasted.

“Story’s not over yet Princess. Maybe when all’s said and done I’ll tell you about it” I said with a small chuckle. “And please just call me Night I don’t really like formalities.”

“As you wish and I’m sure no matter what happens it will be a story worth hearing.” Celestia replied with an amused smile. “Also you do not have to have to call me princess, seeing that you are not one of my subjects.”

“Fine with me Sunshine.” I said enjoying the shocked reactions from the other grown mares, the Crusaders and Spike having fallen asleep near the end of my story, curled up against Kilala in her saber cat form.

Celestia gave a small laugh. “I suppose that is a fitting name to call me. Though I have one question.” seeing that she had my attention continued. “Why did you want this power? Most would use that power for personal gain or ill purposes. But aside from taking money from a few criminals and using it against others with ill intentions I see absolutely no true misuse of your powers.”

“Well at first I think that I wanted these powers for the same reason every human wants power, to be more than they are, and maybe have a little fun.” I said igniting a small flame in my hand, gazing into it. “Humanity is an amazing race. We’re always moving forward, always changing, always striving to make our lives or ourselves better.” I continued with a thoughtful look. “But thinking back, I think what I really wanted out of it was freedom. Freedom to go, to be, and to do anything I wanted. To not be bound by the normal bonds that decide our fate.” Dismissing the fire in my hands I looked up. “I wanted the power and freedom to carve my own destiny. To protect that which is and would become precious to me, and to destroy all that would harm it.” I finished with a look of determination. I had never really thought about it before, but being asked pointblank like that made me think. And I was sure of my answer.

The mares in the room were giving me a look I couldn’t quite place, it was somewhere between admiration, respect, and awe. “Well I believe that is a fine reason.” Celestia said after a moment of silence.

I could really only smile sheepishly and rub the back of my head. I wasn’t usually this serious; I was more of a relaxed, carefree guy. “Thanks I guess. So does anyone else have a question?” I asked wanting to lighten the mood. Surprisingly it was Fluttershy that raised her hoof first, could have sworn it was going to Twilight.

Giving her a nod she spoke. “Um well I noticed that you have rather large canines, does that mean you’re a carnivore?” Fluttershy asked with a hint of nervousness.

“No” I answered quickly not wanting to cause a fuss, and by the looks in the girls eyes that might have been a possibility, though Celestia didn’t look surprised at all just expecting. “I’m what’s known as an omnivore meaning I do eat meat but I also eat plants like fruits and vegetables. But that doesn’t mean I’m dangerous.” I quickly added to the relief of the others. “But I do have to have some animal protein to remain healthy, or take supplements that you probably don’t have.”

“Well will fish be ok?” Rainbow asked “I know a few places that sale fish.”

“You ponies eat fish?” I asked. It was Twilight that answered.

“Occasionally yes,” Twilight said going into lecture mode. “It started back before the founding of Equestria with the three pony tribes. In times of food shortages ponies from all tribes would eat fish to sustain themselves. Nopony is sure how this came about but it is believed to have been started by the pegasi since they often had encounters with griffins, who have the same diet that you described. As for why we still consume fish today, it was discovered early on that fish supplied much more energy and nutrients than plants alone, mass for mass or pound for pound so to speak. We also consume eggs and milk so it shouldn’t be a problem.”

“We’ll that’s nice to know.” I said, thankful that me eating meat wouldn’t be a problem.

Rainbow rolled her eyes “Yeah if you like boring. Come on Twilight all you had to do was say yes or no. Not go off on a history of eating meat in Equestria lecture.” She teased sarcastically.

Twilight gave her rainbow colored friend a glare. “I know that Rainbow, but I wanted Night to know why so he might understand a little better.” Before ether could say anything else I spoke up.

“And I thank you for that Twilight; while I would’ve accepted a yes or no answer I enjoyed listening to your little lecture and thought it was interesting.”

“Oh well thank you Night,” Twilight said with a light blush before glaring at Rainbow. “At least somepony appreciates my knowledge.” only to have Rainbow to stick her tongue out.

“Well your welcome.” I said having to hold back a laugh at the two’s antics. “Now anyone else want to ask anything?”

“Ah got one.” Applejack said before gesturing to me up and down. “Why ya wearing so many clothes?”

I thought of the best way to answer this so that they would understand, seeing they go around without clothes most of the time. “Well my kind wear clothes nearly all the time. Mainly to protect us from the elements since we don’t have any fur. But if you’re asking me why I’m wearing clothes inside well it’s more of a cultural thing. Humans don’t generally go around others naked unless it’s someone we trust like a doctor or something, or if we’re having sex.” I told them, bluntly gaining blushes all around; I even think I saw Celestia blush. “But the only parts that need to be covered to stay decent in males are here.” I said gesturing from my mid-thigh to my waist.

“Ow well um thank ya for answering my question Night.” Applejack said covering her face with the brim of her hat to hide her blush. “Um does anypony else want to ask a question?” she asked looking around hoping to break up the awkwardness. “Anypony?”

“Yeah I got one.” I said gaining everyone’s attention before turning to Celestia. “What now Sunshine?”

“Well first off dear Night we must find you someplace to stay.” Celestia said “Twilight do you have room for our guest?”

“Oh yes princess!” Twilight said excitedly, thinking about all the information and knowledge her and Night could share about their worlds. “He can take the guest room! Of course I’ll need to move some things out of it since we were using it as a storage room, but that won’t be a problem.”

“That’s good, now for the meantime I would ask that you remain out of sight until I can introduce you to Ponyville.” Celestia said as she directed her words towards me. “That should make your integration into the town smoother. It shouldn’t be more than a week. And as for getting you home I can’t promise anything but I will try.”

“That sounds like a plan.” I said pushing myself of the wall. “And thanks”

“Don’t mention it, it is the least I could do after what you have done for my little ponies.” Celestia said standing up. “Now I must be going, Luna probably wondering where I am.”

After saying our goodbyes to the solar princess everyone went their separate ways with all of them telling me they’ll come and visit some time during the week. And with that me, Twilight, Kilala along with a sleeping Morph and Spike left for Twilight’s home.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><<>><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

It had been a week since I found myself in Equestria. The day after I went home with Twilight she started teaching me all about Equestria and its history. Though I had to convince her to start with some working knowledge, thankfully the others helped me convince Twilight that understanding things like pony social norms, the value of bits, and pony society and economy as a whole were more important than knowing who did what a hundred years ago. She also taught me the correct grammar, much to my annoyance; like every time I would say everybody or anybody she would interrupt me with the correct word. There were times that I thought I might kill her, like for the first few days. She would wake me up in the middle of the night to ask me questions, it really got annoying when she did it more than once in one night.

I learned that some things were nearly identical to my world, but that a lot a things were completely different. One example of this that I found interesting was gender roles. They were nearly identical while being complete opposite, with the females being the dominate of the two genders as opposed to the males. Even the history was the same yet different, with the males being seen as property and only good for the bed room or hard labor being the stronger of the two. Luckily I landed in a time that pretty much resembled what it was like back on earth, with both genders being more or less equal in matters of the law, property, and most other things. It didn’t really matter to me much since I really didn’t care about gender roles and I wasn’t planning to change myself to please anyone unless I wanted too. Though I nearly died laughing when I realized that I would basically be put in the woman’s position in a relationship, I solemnly swore to myself that I would not abuse this power. (And you guys and girls know exactly what I’m taking about.)

Another interesting thing I learned was pony about relationships. Do to the ratio of male to females being so off balanced, usually being somewhere in between 1:4 to 1:7, it almost forced the females to share a stallion. There were some monogamist relationships, like Pinkie’s bosses the Cakes, but it was generally frowned on and seen as selfish. Another thing was interspecies relationships. Ponies, as well as most of the other races, weren’t really all that exclusive when it comes to relationships. Even the species barrier wasn’t a challenge, with just a simple spell or potion that a doctor or a talented magic user could perform the male’s seed could for a limited time impregnate the female of a different species. Though the offspring would be whatever race the female was, with a few less physical characteristics from the father such as coat/mane color or personality.

All this really didn’t matter to me as I had no intentions of starting a relationship if there was still a chance for me to go home. I had family and friends to watch over and protect. I had to threaten my sister’s boyfriend when she started dating and two brothers to embarrass when they got girlfriends, you know the important stuff. My best friend was getting married in a few months and I was his best man. Of course I made plans if anything happened to me, everyone important to me would be taken care of. But still it’s not the same as being there you know.

Anyway today was the day that Celestia would introduce me to Ponyville and I was still peacefully asleep.

“NIGHT WAKE UP!” well there went my peaceful sleep.

“Yes oh loud one. I hear and obey.” I said sitting up giving the irritated lavender alicorn a sleepy smile.

“Night this is serious! If we don’t leave soon we might be late!”

“Ok, ok I’m up. Just let me go get a shower.” I said still half asleep and started walking to the bathroom like a drunken sailor, grabbing some clothes as I went. Quickly jumping in and washing up I was done and dressed in no time flat. I walked downstairs to see Twilight pacing the floor with Kilala watching her, her head going from side to side. “Twilight if you keep pacing you’re going to wear a hole in the floor.” I said

“Again” Spike commented walking out from the kitchen with a few apples. “Morning Night”

“Morning Spike, sleep well?” I asked catching the apple he tossed me.

“Yep I was exhausted.”

“Yeah I bet you were, you’ve been working really hard. On that note you mind going and getting Morph? I think he’s still in my room.” I asked

“Sure” and with a muttered “WULD” he was gone.

It was actually very interesting when I found out that Spike could use the Thu’um, I mean he is a dragon but still. Of course I haven’t taught him anything dangerous like frost breath or cyclone. But he has come far; so far he knows the first word of ‘whirlwind sprint’, all three words of ‘Kyne’s Peace’, and the first word of ‘Become Ethereal’. There are things that I will never teach him like ‘Marked for Death’ and ‘Bend Will’ for obvious reasons, not counting that Twilight would kill me if she found out and that would be if I was lucky. We’ve become very close over the past week almost like brothers.

“Well Twilight Spike’s getting Morph, after that I think we’re ready.” I said sitting down on the couch motioning for her to join me which she did. “Ok what’s eaten ah Sparky?” I asked using the nickname I came up with during the week.

“I don’t know, just worried I guess.” Twilight said leaning against me. That was another thing I learned over the week. Ponies were a lot less touch-shy then most humans. They tended to like to nuzzle, rub shoulders, embrace, and sit snuggled together in a way that would have been uncomfortable for most humans; it took me a little while to get used to it myself.

I just rolled my eyes “Oh yeah, you do have to be introduced to a whole town of ponies from another world today my bad, oh wait that’s me.” I said my voice dripping with sarcasm, which earned me playful shove.

“OK I see your point,” Twilight said letting slip a small smile. “I just don’t see how you could be so calm.”

“Twilight I learned a long time ago that it doesn’t matter what others think of you. As long you believe and trust in yourself then it don’t matter. Everyone else can go fuck themselves.” I said getting up and Kilala jumping onto my shoulder. “Now stop worrying, I got this. I’m just being introduced to the town.”

“I guess you’re right. I was just-“ “BOOM!” “What in the name of Celestia was that!?” Twilight asked looking towards the stairs where the sound came from.

“I’m guessing that was the sound of Spike trying to catch Morph.” I told her calmly. “HEY SPIKE YOU ALIVE UP THERE?” I called only getting a groan in response. “I’LL TAKE THAT AS A YES. He’s fine.” I told Twilight seeing her concerned look. I gave a sharp whistle and not a second later a pink blur shot down the stairs followed a little afterwards by Spike who was rubbing his head. “You ok champ?”

“Yeah I’m fine, little guy tricked me into running head first into a wall.”

“Well that’s good to hear,” seeing the looks I was getting, I quickly clarified. “The first part not the second.”

“Well if we’re all ready to go then hold on.” And that there was a flash of light and we were all standing behind a curtained of area that made up the back of the stage.

“About time you guys showed up.” Rainbow said as she flew in front of us. “What took you so long?”

“Well Skittles when you’re as fast as us you don’t have to leave early to make sure you get to places on time.” I said giving her a playful smile. “I see you’re not that fast yet but don’t worry maybe in a hundred years or so you might almost be as fast as me.” I finished ruffling her mane much to her annoyance.

Batting my hand away she give me a playful glare and a cocky grin. “When this is over me and you are going to race and I’m going to make you eat those words.”

“Bring it on Skittles; just try to not embarrass yourself ok?” I said returning her grin with one of my own. Me and Dash had become fast friends over the past week as had the other mares. We would mostly tell each other about our worlds and stories from our past ranging from the funny and embarrassing to the sad and emotional. Rainbow told me about her dreams of becoming a Wonderbolt and I told her about some of the adventures I had. It was fun to watch her and the other girls sitting at the edge of their seats as I told them how I one time rescued some military guys after their helicopter got shot down and were captured. Rainbow said it was like reading a Daring Do book. It was funny when I told Rainbow that her nickname came from a rainbow colored candy, and downright hilarious when I told her the candy’s slogan of ‘Taste the Rainbow’ which I followed with a very sexual hand gesture. I swear I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone or anypony that red before.

“Alright you two that’s enough.” Twilight chided us.

“Yes mother.” Me and Dash both jokingly said getting an irritated huff from the lavender mare.

“Well as amusing as it is to watch you two mess with Twilight, the princesses have just arrived.” Rarity informed us.

“Princesses? You mean both of them are here?” I asked

“Yes I do darling. I would suspect that Princess Luna wants to meet you after Princess Celestia no doubt told her about you.” Rarity answered

“Well damn aren’t I the popular one.” I said rubbing the back of my head. “Well best not keep them waiting.”

“Good luck Night!” Pinkie said with her usual Pinkieness.

“We’re right here if you need us Sugarcube.” Applejack said with a tip of her hat.

“Um I’m sure you’ll do just fine.” Said Fluttershy

“Girls I got this you just stand there and keep looking beautiful.” I said turning towards the curtains and missing the blushes from the six mares.

Flinging the curtains wide I walked onto the stage like I owned the place. Stepping out I saw a crowd of ponies who all stared curiously, and some with a little fear, at the somewhat large bipedal creature that just walked out. And a little to the left were Celestia and Luna. Walking up to stand by the princesses I smiled. “Hey Sunshine” I said getting shocked looks from the ponies in the crowd as well as one from Luna herself, but before anypony could say anything Celestia spoke.

“Night it is good to see you again. How has your stay at Twilight’s been? I know she can a bit, well, enthusiastic about learning new things.” Celestia said

“Yeah there were times when I didn’t know whether I wanted to kiss her or kill her. Sometimes it was a weird mixture of the two. But it was a fun time.”

“Well it’s good to hear that you two have gotten along well.” Celestia said gesturing to her sister. “This is my sister Luna. Luna this is Night Starlight.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you Princesses Luna.” I said holding out my hand which she awkwardly shook.

“It is nice to meet you as well Night Starlight.” Luna said

“Celestia I think you should introduce me before their faces get stuck like that.” I said motioning to the crowd who still had looks of confusion and shock.

“Yes I believe you’re right” Celestia said turning and addressing the crowd. “Mares and gentalcolts today I have called you here to introduce a visitor from another world who has found his way here by unforeseen circumstances. Not even a full day after he arrived he saved the young filly named Scootaloo from being eaten by a manticore and brought her safely home. I have heard his story and even though he is powerful, I have found him to be of no threat to those that do not wish him harm. I ask that you treat him with the same kindness that you would give to any other pony.”

After Celestia said her piece it was my turn. “Hello everypony” I said waving at the crowd. “My name is Night Starlight and I’m a human. I’ll be staying here till Princess Celestia finds me a way home or if she can’t well I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. Now I’m sure some of you have some questions so I’ll take a minute or two to answer a few of them. So who has a question?” with that about a dozen or so hooves were raised. “Um ok ah you there the pegasus mare with the pink and red mane.”

<>><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

After about an hour of questions ranging from ‘what is your world like?’ and ‘do you have a cute mark?’ to ‘are you herding?’ I have to say that question threw me. As well as showing off a few powers when they asked. I asked the princesses if they wanted to come over for an early dinner, saying that Twilight and her friends were helping set up the party so I would be alone and completely bored.

“Have to say Night that was most delicious.” Luna complemented as we finished our meal, though I’m guessing she was just being polite there’s no way my food stacks up to the food they eat at the palace. Me and Luna actually hit it off pretty well since we were kind of in the same situation. What with her being gone for a thousand years and me being from another world, we both felt out of place. Though me more than her of that we both agreed on.

“Well thank you Luna I’m glad you enjoyed it.” I said making a clone to gather and wash the dishes.

“I have to say that is a most useful spell,” Luna said watching the clone gather the dishes and head to the kitchen. “And you say that all their memories are transferred to you when they’re dispelled?”

“Yep that’s why I have such good control over my powers. Instead of two years I’ve basically been training for around fifty years or so.” I explained. “They have all my memories and powers and half my strength and they don’t dispel unless they are severely injured.”

“Oh sister just think if we could do that, we would never have to go to court and deal with nobles again!” Luna said turning to Celestia with a dreamy expression.

“Luna the Courts are very important duties that require our personal attention.” Celestia scolded. “Besides I am sure that Night would not condone such use of one’s powers to get out of responsibility.”

“Um well I did kind of send a clone to my work for the last three weeks I worked there.” I admitted sheepishly making Celestia sigh and bow her head. “Though they are good for any paperwork you might have.”

Celestia’s right ear perked up as she gave me a sideways look. “Paperwork?” she asked.

“Yeah you can have a clone help or do the paperwork and since they’re just copies of you they’ll do everything the way you would do. Even then you get the memories of the clone so you could go over everything they did to make sure.” I said. Ah paperwork the bane of every ruler big or small.

“Well um that does sound rather appealing.” Celestia said straitening up and ignoring the triumphant look that Luna gave her. “Do you think it could be made into a spell? Twilight has told me that a few of your abilities could be made into spells.”

“Yeah trust me she’s been trying to duplicate my clones since she learned what they could do. I’ll let you know as soon as we figure it out Sunshine.” I said smiling

“Excuse me if I am being rude Night but why doth thou call our sister Sunshine?” Luna asked with a little tilt of her head.

“Well when we first meet I told her to just call me Night since I hate formalities, then she said that I didn’t have to call her princess since I wasn’t one of her subjects.” I said before turning to Celestia. “I hope you know that even if you can’t get me home and I become a citizen of Equestria I’m never going to stop calling you that.”

“I hope you never do. It makes me feel like a normal pony when we talk.” She said

“Hey what are friends for?” I said holding up my hands. “To me you’ll always be Celestia the pony. Not the princess, not the sun goddess, and not the ruler of Equestria, just Celestia my friend. And that is the answer to your question Luna, she’s my friend.”

“I see so do I get a nickname as it were, I mean we are friends are we not?” Luna asked me cutely.

“Of course we are Luna but yours is a little more difficult. Now let’s see,” I said taking up a thinking pose. “Ah ha I got it! You help ponies with their dreams right?” I asked

“Yes I try to help keep the nightmares away as ponies sleep.” Luna said nodding in confirmation.

“And you are very beautiful.” I said with a devilish grin.

“Oh um well I guess maybe a little.” Luna said blushing up a storm.

“Then it’s settled I’ll call you Dream Girl since you’re the girl in my dreams.”

“W-well I guess it is a fitting name then.” Luna stammered out.

After talking for a more hours I looked at the clock. “Well it’s about time to go to the party.” I said getting up. “Are you two coming?”

“While I would love to, I need to get back to the castle; there are some papers I still need to look through.” Celestia said

“Oh come now dear sister you work too hard.” Luna chided playfully

“Luna the papers that I need to look over are very important.” Celestia countered

“So important that they cannot wait a single night? Sister when was the last time thou took a break for more than just a few hours?” Luna asked but before Celestia could reply she was cut off. “And sleeping doth not count.”

“I gotta side with Dream Girl on this one Sunshine. So these are your options come to the party with us or we tie you up and make you.” I said as spectral chains started coming out of the floor and Luna lit up her horn with a smile making the shadows come alive.

Seeing she had no choice Celestia hung her head. “I guess those papers can wait till tomorrow.” With a small shout of victory me and Luna started dragging the solar monarch out the door.

As we neared the party we could see lights through the windows and hear the music clearly from the outside. “Well sounds like the party’s just getting started come on lets go.” I said. As we entered the building everything stopped, even the music, as everypony was looking at us or should I say the princesses. Seeing the problem I flash-stepped to the stage nearly scaring the crap out of the dj as I suddenly appeared. Grabbing a mike I got eveypony’s attention. “Alright everypony the princesses have gotten tired of all the boring nobles and have come to unwind. So let’s give them a good time and show them how we party PONYVILLE STYLE!”

“AW YEAH LET’S DROP THE BASS!” the dj shouted as she blasted the music making the crowd go wild as the party resumed. I hopped down from the stage and made my way towards the princesses who were now with the girls. “Hey girls what’s up and Pinkie, love the party its perfect.”

“Awesome as usual, cool how you got the party rollin again.” Dash said flying up to me and giving me a nudge.

“Doin good Sugarcube, Fluttershy’s back at her house with Mac taken care of the Crusaders and Spike, in case ya was wonderin.” Applejack said giving me a smile.

“Yeah I was about to ask about that, I’m guessing this really isn’t Fluttershy’s scene?”

“Not really darling, poor thing gets very uncomfortable at these kinds of parties.” Rarity said sipping a drink she held in her magic.

I nodded “I thought as much but I’m kind of surprised that you’re here Rarity. I didn’t peg you as club type; I thought that you may be too sophisticated for something like this.”

Rarity just smiled. “Now Night just because I’m a lady does not mean I don’t like to let my mane down every once and a while.”

“Well you got me there but now I think it’s time to do the first thing you do at a party like this, get a drink.” I said, we all moved toward the bar and ordered our drinks, even Celestia and Twilight after some convincing. As we were at the bar talking the dj came up. She was a white coated unicorn mare with a blue and electric blue mane but her most notable feature was her purple sunglasses.

“Nice work getting the party going again. I’m Vinyl Scratch.” she said holding out a hoof.

Taking the hoof I said “Nice to meet you Vinyl and thinks, like the music.”

“Thanks made it myself, so got any music from your world?” Vinyl asked. With a grin I held up my hands as they gained a dull glow and put them over her ears. Soon she started bobbing her head as a grin worked its way onto her face. “Aw yeah that’s what I’m talking about.” She said as I pulled them away. “You think you could put that through the speakers?”

“You bet” I told her as I turned to the others. “Hey girls I’m going to go dj for a bit.” And with that me and Vinyl went to the dj booth. When got there I placed my hand on the turntables making them glow and I grabbed the mic making blue sunglasses appear on face. “WHAT’S UP PONYVILLE! THIS IS DJ STARLIGHT COMIN AT YOU FROM ACROSS THE DEMINTIONS WITH SOME MUSIC THAT’S TRULY OUT OF THIS WORLD. HERE’S A LITTLE SONG CALLED BOOM!” and with that ‘Boom’ by the Italo Brothers started blasting out the speakers and the bass shaking the walls making the ponies go wild. Not settling for just that I used my powers to make lights, lasers, and neon translucent crystal platforms and catwalks around the warehouse like building. Now the dance floor had become a two level dance floor and the ponies were loving it. I noticed Dash, Pinkie, Luna, and Rarity all dancing on the upper dance floor, I even saw Applejack and Twilight dancing. And we partied like that though the night.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

‘Oh man my head.’ Was the only thought that I had as I woke up the next morning or at least what I thought was morning. The last thing I remember from last night was beating Dash, Applejack, and Luna in a drinking contest; it was only thanks to my powers that I won, though I didn’t really fill like a winner with the pain in my head but thankfully it was fading away. Most of the night was a fuzzy blur, though I was starting to remember something’s; like dancing with the girls, doing a keg stand, talking to a few ponies, playing some more music.

As I laid there I woke up enough to notice that I was not in the library. And as I woke up even more I felt a weight on my chest. Looking down I saw a messy blue and electric blue mane that belonged to non-other than the dj from last night Vinyl Scratch. Trying to move my arms I found that I couldn’t, looking over I saw Applejack and Rainbow Dash snuggled up on either side of me. Only one thought was running through my head.

‘Oh shit.’
