The Lost from Equestria
Tempest's Chapter One: A Mare's Night Out
Previous ChapterI close the guest room's doors behind me. After the stargazing with Cosmic I had left myself quite flustered once Twilight intervened.
"Ponyfeathers! How could I have let that opportunity pass up?" I found myself walking over to the large bookcase in the room.
"Why would anypony need so many books? Oh! This one looks interesting." I flew up and took out the book I had noticed. "Daring Do and the Griffon's Goblet, hmm..."
"I wouldn't start with that one." The voice startled me and I dropped the book. A sky blue coated pegasus with rainbow mane flew through the window, caught the book I dropped and put the book back on the shelf... all in the space of five seconds.
"I've never seen a pegasus fly so fast before."
"You haven't even seen me at my fastest. Name's Rainbow Dash. Any-who if you're gonna read Daring Do you should start with Sapphire Stone." She pulled the book off the shelf. "It's the first in the series."
"Thanks. Why are you here anyway?"
"I've been coming in at this time every night for the past week. I've been trying to get Twilight's version of the latest Daring Do novel ever since she's gotten it. I don't think she's finished it yet. What's your name?"
"Oh. My name is Tempest Tornado. I'm new here."
"I know you're new here; I was at Pinkie's party earlier today."
"That was actually my first party ever."
"Really? Huh, I would've thought a pony like you would have been to more parties."
"Well, it's only my second night in Equestria."
"Wow! Hey, I've got an idea."
"Oh, what is it?"
"You should come to my place. We could tell stories about our adventures and I could fill you in on anything you want to know."
"That sounds like a great idea."
"Okay! Follow me!"
It wasn't a long flight to Rainbow's but I did find it hard to keep up with her at times. When we got there she gave me a tour of everything there was in her house. When we got to her 'basement' for lack of a better word, she found some barrels of something called apple cider that she had forgotten about. We took a barrel upstairs and started drinking.
"WOW! This tastes soooooooo good."
"Don't drink too much of it or you'll regret it in the morning."
"I don't care about the morning. I want to drink as much as I can right now!"
"Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you."
A long conversation and eight drinks later (of which Rainbow had two) I was drunk. Rainbow sent me back to Twilight's because she didn't want me passing out on the floor. It took me five tries to get back in the window. Once I got in I started to climb onto the bed and passed out with my back legs still sagging on the floor. When I woke up I realized Rainbow was right and I was regretting it. I had a very strong headache as well as I was nauseous. I felt like I needed to vomit. Then Cosmic opened the door.
"Hey Tempest, you all right in there? You were called for breakfast an hour ago."
"Neeeeed buuuuuucket."
Those were the only words I said for another two hours. Cosmic brought me back the bucket and none too soon. As soon as I had it within my head's reach I was vomiting as if hell in my stomach was breaking loose.
