It was a late night, the moonlight shine brightening the night sky, seeing the way for six ponies on a midnight walk from a party: a sober Doctor Whooves and Derpy, a drunk Vinyl and three mares at the very back talking in a group and giggling at the drunk mare in front of them as she sway side to side. It didn't take them long to reach the house, it was only a short while from sugar cube corner. Doctor Whooves pushed the door open just as Vinyl went racing through the door with a loud cheer.
"alright! Let's get this shit started!" The doctor only rolled his eyes as she jumped on the couch, then closing the door behind his other guests: Octavia Melody, Lyre and Bon-Bon. As Derpy came through the door, the doctor gave her a kiss on the cheek. Shortly after, Derpy walked into the main room where everypony else was settling themselves. The doctor only walked five steps before he stop and noticed that somepony was missing.
"Where's Vinyl?" Before anypony could answer, Vinyl came swaying through the open kitchen door then threw a wine at the doctor.
"Hey, doc! Pour couple drinks of this would ya?" Vinyl slurred. After catching the glass before it fell to the floor, he glared at her, then processed to the kitchen. Everyone stared at Vinyl.
"What?" Vinyl said, blankly.
Doctor Whooves began pouring some glasses, when he heard some hoof steps behind him.
"Hi, doc!" Derpy cheered.
"Oh! Hello, honey, caught me off guard!" Doctor said, nuzzling her.
"Whatcha doin?" Derpy sung.
"Getting drinks, speaking of which, you want one?" The doctor asked. Vinyl must have heard, as before Derpy could say anything, Vinyl had yelled out from the main room.
"Everypony's having a drink! We're all gonna get drunk and PARTY!" Not soon after, Octavia's voice much quieter and posh voice could be heard.
"We were just at a party! We don't need another!" Octavia had said. Vinyl responded and a fight broke out between the them. Docter Whooves turned back to the drinks and began pouring again.
"How did those two have a relationship for as long as they did! The amount of fights they must have happened between the two." The doctor said shaking his head side to side, pouring another drink and placing it on the tray he had just go out. Derpy put a wing around him.
"We argue?" Derpy said, curiously. The brown stallion shook his head.
"Yes, but they do it everyday!" Doctor Whooves said, putting the tray around his neck.
"You just focus on the drinks for now anyway" Derpy said exiting the room, making a way for Doctor Whooves to walk through. They were greeted with loud yells that were arguing about, what sounded like, shower curtains. The doctor presented the drinks, but only Lyre and Bon-Bon grabbed their drinks, Vinyl and Octavia were still engulfed in their argument that somehow shifted from shower curtain to who caused their break up. Derpy knew that's where it should stop and flew over and tried to break it up.
"Guys, stop! You shouldn't argue about that here!" They both turned with a huff. Derpy exhaled and flew over to the couch where she laid down for a rest.
Hours had past, and even through they insisted they weren't drunk, Lyre and Bon-Bon continuously laughed at seemingly nothing. Doctor Whooves had gotten so drunk that he had collapsed onto the floor.
"He's a bit of a light weight, isn't he?" Octavia asked, a bit worried.
"yep..." Derpy exhaled simply.
"Hey, you see that new Twilight Sparkle mare that recently moved into the library? She hosted a sleepover there, and a tree fell onto the library." Octavia said, Derpy had concerned look on her face.
"Oh, I hope the're alright." She said worryingly. Octavia informed Derpy that they had seen her at the party. "Oh, yeah!" Just then, Vinyl came bursting through the kitchen entrance, breathing heavily.
"We've ran out of alcohol!" She yelled, alerting the doctor awake only to fall back down and go back to sleep. Lyre and Bon-Bon also stopped their laughing fit for a few seconds before they fell back, laughing again. Octavia stood up and glared at Vinyl almost daring for Vinyl to stare back. Vinyl simply stood there with the same panicked, tired expression. Octavia saw the tiredness in Vinyl's eyes and let her guard down.
"Vinyl, don't you think we should sleep now anyway?" Octavia said, giving Vinyl a look that Derpy could not read.
It was a time Derpy could not identify, the blackness consuming the whole room. Derpy then suddenly heard something move in the darkness. She froze suddenly as she heard more movement, then again. It was aggressive, making Derpy flinch every time, like a small jump scare. Derpy slowly reached for the flashlight beside her, feeling the ground along the way, which creaked every time there was movement. She touched the touch and, as fast as she could, pointed at the movement in the darkness. Derpy was shocked to see TWO figures, but not only that, one was on top of the other with lips touching. It was Vinyl, on top of Octavia.
"Vinyl? Octavia?" Derpy whispered in shock, as the two parted faster than Derpy could whisper "What?!" Which is what they did. "Wait? Are you two back together!?" Derpy said, cheerfully.
"No!" Vinyl and Octavia hissed together. Derpy's mood lowering a bit.
"It's more of a...?" Octavia started, but Vinyl finished.
"It's a 'friends with benefits' situation." Octavia glared at Vinyl before suddenly pushing her attention onto Derpy once more.
"Please don't mention this to anypony?" Octavia asked, sounding more of a command than a question.
Derpy simply stared at them with the same expression. She didn't know what was going on. All she knew was that she had just caught two of her friends making out on the floor of her husbands house. She didn't even know what 'friends with benefits' were either. So she just smiled and nodded. The two smiled back as Derpy turned out the flashlight and laid back.
