Lend me your wings

About an hour into the party things started to really get going.

I don't get it! They're drinking CIDER! It's like apple juice, right?! How could something get drunk by that...

And WHY do they even have alcohol?! Where's my little girls show?!

Pinkie was discussing with Rarity, Roseluck and two other mares...

Lily! That's it, and the other one... I never remember her.

Well, She was trying to discuss, but I think she was clearly too drunk to even understand a word she was saying.

From across the room Applejack stood up and yelled.

"How about a good ol' drinkin' contest?!"

Pinkie's right ear perked up and she wobbled over beside AJ.

"YEAAAH!! GHOOD IDEA!"

She then collapsed onto the ground.

I guess even the party pony can party out some times.

Applejack was gathering ponies around the room.

Come to think of it, I still haven't introduced myself to AJ...

I mean, I can't believe they're doing a drinking contest?!

Dash nudged me.

"Come on, this'll be fun!" She sat on a table in the middle of the room.

Guh, this won't end well...

AJ approached and looked up to me.

She was grinning from ear to ear.

"Ah'm sure that a big fella' much like yerself can even keep up with Fluttershy." She turned to look at Fluttershy.

Fluttershy shrieked and hid her face behind her hooves.

"N-No! I-I won't join!"

Dash snickered.

"Oh come on Shy'! We had a good laugh last time!"

"No way! It was..." She slightly moved a hoof and glimpsed at Big Mac.

"This was horrible!" She shrieked back again, blushing and shivering.

What?

I'm missing something there!

Don't tell me FlutterMac is cannon?! That's bullshit!

Everypony knows she's a fillyfooler!

I chuckled.

"Don't worry, I'm sure Big Mac didn't found it so horrible!" Dash remarked.

Big Mac coughed slightly and shook his head.

"See? And it was Pinkie's idea to play something like that."

Something like what?!

AJ sat at the table and waved at her friends.

"Rare'! Get Fluttershy here! And Mac, Com'here too!"

Rarity pulled Fluttershy along and on the other side of the table.

Big mac took the last seat.

The one next to Fluttershy.

She slowly flapped her wings, closing the distance between hers and Rarity's seat, keeping Big Mac at bay.

"Okay, here we are! The rules are simple! The one with the most empty glasses in front of themselves in an hour, wins!"

Everyone was grinning and looking at Fluttershy.

I nudged Dash.

"What happened last time? With Fluttershy I mean." She snickered and started whispering too.

"Well, Fluttershy is pretty shy, but when she's drunk, she's really... clingy." I blinked.

"And last time, we played ‘truth or dare’ you know?" I nodded.

"And she skipped on a question, so she had to kiss Big Mac. But instead of just kissing him, she nearly raped him." She snickered even more.

I just can't believe it... Drunken Shy' is assertive?

Alcohol really is a dangerous weapon.

"It started to get pretty hot, actually, Twilight had to use her magic to separate them." I was looking at Fluttershy and chuckled.

She noticed our whispers and eeped when she understood we were talking about her.

Well, I'm not that big of a drinker, but if I have to, to integrate the community...

Alcohol's the lubricant of friendship, isn't it?

AJ impatiently yelled for the barpony to bring us a round of cider.

We didn't have to wait long before the six cider glasses were on the table.

"Thank ya Hooch, and be sure to keep it coming!" AJ greeted the barpony, winking at him.

I took a little sip.

I would've preferred something else but that cider doesn't taste bad at all.

A couple of minutes later, I was still calmly drinking my first glass.

Fluttershy was taking slow sips, the glass clutched between her hooves.

Rainbow and AJ were in a race to see who could finish their drinks first.

And Rarity was… already finishing off her SECOND GLASS?!

Woah!

Keeping it classy huh Miss Rarity?

Big Mac had adopted a similar tactic to me, silently sipping while the other ponies chugged back cider.

We both looked at each other knowingly and shared a chuckle.

After thirty minutes, Rarity sprawled on the table with twelve glasses in front of her.

She had drunk way too much and really too fast, no way she was going to make it to the one hour mark.

Rainbow and AJ were blushing a bit, but were still up, nine glasses stood in front of each of them.

I turned toward Fluttershy and a cheeky grin was slowly appearing on her face.

She seemed normal but… a bit more... I don't know? There was something, I just couldn’t quite put my finger on it… I glanced down.

She had ten glasses in front of her.

Woah, wait, WHAT?! When did she drink all of those?!

I looked down at my own and counted only seven.

I don't think I'll ever be drunk with this sort of drink but oh well...

Big Mac was on his seventh and he was slowly getting giddy.

Fluttershy loudly slammed the glass she was drinking onto the table and moved her chair near Big Mac's.

He hadn’t done anything to invite her over but she then proceeded to lay her head on his side anyways.

He looked a bit flustered and was slightly blushing, but didn’t do anything to stop her.

"Hey! Don't do anything funny to mah' brother!" Applejack stood up and yelled over to Fluttershy.

"I'm not doing anything funny! It's just that he's so soft and he smells so good..." This kind of assertiveness was something I had never seen from Fluttershy before.

Big Mac was just looking elsewhere.

The blush on his face showed he wasn't drunk enough to not understand what Shy just said.

Dash snickered and AJ snapped to her.

"And you! You still owe me some hard work on mah' farm! I didn't forget what happened to mah' south field!" She wasn't angry, just a bit grumpy.

"Yeah yeah, don't worry, I'll do that onc-" AJ interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

"Once summer is over?! Or maybe when ya get engaged with that human of yers?!" I spat out a bit of my drink when I heard that.

She chuckled and Dashie stood up, offended by her words.

Rarity lifted her head and started to analyze the situation.

"Not ‘tah rush ya into anything there Max." She giggled and smiled at me.

I blinked. Several times.

"I-Eh... Don't worry about that." Okay, I'll just avoid their argument...

Oh, I know! I'll just drink enough cider, get drank as shit and I won't be able remember anything about this evening!

I'm a genius.

Dashie was blushing a bit at that.

"I-It's nothing like that at all!" Dashie groaned loudly and everypony snickered.

She glared daggers at AJ.

She's hot when she's angry.

I slapped myself mentally.

Okay, that's enough cider then...

AJ raised an eyebrow at her, not even slightly convinced by her argument.

"Okay! OKAY! I get it, I'll do it!" She briefly looked at me and grinned wickedly.

"Once we're engaged, of course." Everypony gasped and I dropped the glass I was holding.

Dash just laughed.

Everypony followed her and started laughing too.

Dash turned to me and approached, sitting on my lap. I was still baffled by the last sentence to try to stop her.

She had her four hooves facing my right and was rubbing her right cheek against my chest.

What's that situation again?!

And why am I so happy?! I'm a fucking dumb.

I took a deep breath, trying to settle my mind, my heartbeats and my respiration enough to talk.

"D-Do you think it's a good idea to be so c-cuddly here? With so many ponies? Every-" She poked my chest with her left hoof and lifted her head to look at me.

"Does it bother you?" I kept eye contact for several seconds before grunting.

She's so cute.

"N-No..." She giggled.

"Good, coz' I don't care for my friends to know either." She sighed softly and placed her cheek back on my chest and closing her eyes.

I rubbed my face with my hands.

When my focus came back on our surroundings, I was met by various expressions.

Rarity was exhilarated, looking right at us.

Shy' and Mac wasn't even paying attention to their surroundings either.

And AJ was grinning wildly.

God, I'm sure I'm blushing like a bitch right now...

I rubbed my neck with my left hand and looked at everyone.

"I-I'm sorry, I-I think she drank too much..."

Yeah, try to act cool now!

"I think she's out of the competition..." I chuckled with everyone, trying to settle the mood.

Dash poked my chest again and pulled herself up, giving me a small kiss when I bowed to look at her.

I blinked and she giggled, nuzzling her face in my neck.

I facepalmed.

She's not helping me at all.

Applejack approached the two of us.

"Come on ya'll! Aren't they cute? It’s lookin’ like we need tah’ wake Pinkie to prepare the wedding party." Everyone laughed.

Pinkie's right ear twitched and she sat up to look at us.

She made an attempt to say something, a wave of her hoof towards the two of us, then, as suddenly as she sat up, she keeled over onto her back and began to snore.

I shared everyone's laugh.

Well, it was more of a reflex than anything.

There was something a bit more preoccupying for me, sitting right there, on my laps.

I can't remember of my heart beating that fast since a long time.

A very long time.

I looped my right arm around her and started stroking the side of her neck with my hand, and used my left one to caress the space between her two wings.

She slightly flapped them, surprised by the touch and sighed softly.

I can't imagine her being more lovely than this moment.

I leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

"Okay then, it'll be between me and Fluttershy Ah' guess." AJ got back to her seat.

Dash stayed on my lap, wrapped in my arms, until the near-end of the contest.

Pinkie suddenly woke up.

Looking at her surroundings before standing up.

"Owowowwo!"

Her ears flopped, her eyes fluttered and her knees twitched.

Don't tell me...

I turned my head, searching for the nearest door just in time to see Bon Bon fall victim to the power of physics and well-oiled hinges.

“Bonnie! Are you okay?" Lyra cried and jumped after her friend.

It was then I noticed Twilight, who had opened the door, come racing towards our table.

"S-Sorry! It's really important!" She yelled looking back at Bon Bon.

A dismissive wave from the disoriented mare confirmed she was okay.

Twilight looked at us and we looked at her.

“What is it Twilight? You look worried?” I asked her.

Twilight nervously looked from left to right, she swallowed and exclaimed with a slight hint of panic.

“Guys, you need to help me, I can’t find Spike anywhere.”

Author's note: Sorry, the adventure will be for next chapter ;D

I'll try to write it later, but can't promise that.

A big hug to FlyLikeAPegasi, who edited it and gave it life :D

<3 you guys.

Reworked on 07/11

Author's note²: Drunk Dash is best Dash!

Let's talk a bit.

Firstly, it's hard to write Appahjack.

Coz' of apples of course.

Secondly, I'm not into shipping.

Well, ofc I like shippings, everyone like them, but I'm not into obsessing about ships, like appledash, TwiDash or fluttermac or whatever.

I like them when they're well written, and only when. Even if I have preferences (Twixie is best ship)

Whether it'd be something impossible to understand like a TwiJack or something. If it's well written, that's fine to me.

So, no there won't be a FlutterMac thing, just coz cheerilee is my target for Mac.

So if there's anyone opposed to this, well, too bad for you, it's MY FIC. *DEMONIAC SOUNDS*

Same for the peoples hating the great and powerful Trixie. Coz I was envisaging to get her into my fic for my ~25th chapter.

Why am I saying this? Coz I didn't slept well, and I felt like it.

/kiss all.
