The pony in the blue trench coat
Sip of poison
Previous Chapter"Rainbow Dash! Where are yoooouuuu?" Shouted a voice that Rainbow knew. It was Pinkie, she could tell because of her voice, and the long you. She looked over, her head throbbing as she did so.
"Rainbow? Aah! There's by big goofy winner! Howdy do?" Pinkie giggled. She held out a cake in front of Rainbows face. She pushed it away, her head throbbing as she did so. Pinkie tilted her head like dogs do when they're confused.
"Oh... did you not win?" Asked Pinkie, looking sad now.
"Yeah... not only did I not make it in, somepony took a picture of me. I'm ruined." Said Rainbow. Pinkie sighed.
"But we have a whole party set up for you! You may not have made it in, but could you at least come to the party? We wouldn't want all the... hot sauce and... cupcakes' Pinkie drooled as she said this 'to go to waste?" Asked Pinkie.
"I... guess not." Rainbow said standing up. Pinkie perked up. She hopped away, the cake on her back, and Rainbow followed.
They entered through a streamer lined door way to Sugarcube corner. All her friends were drinking punch and dancing. Applejack then turned to Rainbow.
"There's the new Wonderbolt!" She said, and everyone cheered. Rainbow looked down, disappointed in herself.
"I didn't make it in. And I humiliated myself. I'm ruined." She said. Applejack stared at her, blank faced. She then snickered.
"Rainbow, your worked up bout that?! Heh, ya'll get hurt all the time. You can't get worked up bout this one time sugar cube." Applejack said.
"We all make mistakes." Twilight added.
"Yeah! But none of you have ever made huge mistakes like this! IN FRONT OF YOUR HERO'S!" Rainbow shouted, tears in her eyes.
Twilight stepped up.
"Hey, I make lot's of mistakes in front of Celestia! Remember that one time I tried to get the Yaks to alliance with Equestria? I sure messed up that time. Or when I yelled at Cadence... but I guess that was really Chrystlas..." Twilight said. She new she wasn't really helping.
"Yeah, yeah whatever... let's just party... or something." Rainbow said in her "depressed" voice. She walked over to the punch table, her friends dancing behind her. She could tell they glanced at her every now and then, they were worried and she knew she should be glad they care, but she wanted to be left alone. She went to the punch table and grabbed a cider. She sipped it.
"Ahhhh. That's good." She whispered.
Pinkie hopped over.
"Hey Dashie! Could you maybe go into the kitchen and grab my hot sauce? I think I left it in there. Thanks!" Pinkie said, as she walked away, not giving Rainbow any time to respond. She rolled her eyes and walked through the half door to the kitchen. There were lots of cabinets. She sighed when she realized she would have to check through all the cabinets. She started through the right rows.
' Cakes... batter... cooking utensils...' Thought Rainbow as she searched the cabinets. She reached the next cabinet... it was the wine cabinet. There were shelves lined with beers, punch, cider and wine.
'Mmmmmm, cider. Wait... is that wine? I've never had it... why not try some." Thought Rainbow as she reached for the first wine she saw. She then jerked her hoof back, and to the right when she saw the beer. She grabbed it, popped off the top of the bottle, and took a sip. She gagged and stuck her tounge out.
'That's so gros- oh... that just got good.' She thought. Her eyes lowered and she let go of her worries she was so upset about earlier. She slumped against the counter, and then slid back down to the floor. The carpet was so soft... she then got tired all of a sudden. She shut her eyes, into blackness, and then her mind descended into darkness too as she fell asleep.
