Re-Igniting Loveby LoxartChaptersWhats a Wonderbolt? (Anon/Spitfire POV)Before a night of drinking... (Anon/Spitfire POV)Not the usual tablemate (Spitfire/Anon POV) (Part 1 of 3)Not the usual tablemate (Spitfire/Anon POV) (Part 2 of 3)Not the usual tablemate (Anon POV) (Part 3 of 3)Whats a Wonderbolt? (Anon/Spitfire POV)(Anon POV) "A what now?" I ask, tilting my head. "Wonderbolt! Get it through your thick head, will you?" Rainbow Dash glares at me. It has been less than a month since I arrived in this place known as Equestria. I'll be honest, I'm not the smartest of people, so I can't really explain how I got here. All I remember is a thunderstorm and a flash of lightning and something coming towards me. Next thing I know, I'm here. But less than 5 seconds after arrival, I instantly got tackled by a rainbow maned Pegasus. Yes, that's right. The inhabitants of this land are ponies. Talking ponies who look like they were spawned from a crayon box. I was terrified of them at first but they were even more so of me. I had to run into the forest to hide away and I have been living there ever since. I have a nice house that I built, cozy and sturdy. It was hard to get food at the time, but that problem didn't last for long. One day I had left my house to scavenge for food and I noticed a basket just sitting there and inside were some seeds. Along with that were gardening supplies and a note from a Fluttershy. As soon as I asked what a Fluttershy was, a yellow Pegasus with a light pink mane landed in front of me. I screamed and ran into the house as fast as I could. A few minutes later I heard crying outside. I slowly opened my front door and noticed that the Pegasus was crying. As much as I wanted to tell her to fly away and leave me alone, my caring side TKO'd my shy side and I slowly walked towards her. As I sat in front of her, she looked up and tilted her head. I opened my arms to invite her into a hug and she accepted it and started the waterworks. She told me that she had very bad social anxiety and had a hard time making new friends. I felt heartbroken for running and starting tearing up. I asked her name but she couldn't stop crying. So I just held her there. Funny enough, she was the one to help me break my shell and go out into town with her that day. As we walked through the town, everyone seemed frightened of me, but when they saw that Fluttershy was at my side, they all smiled at me. That is until that same rainbow maned Pegasus rammed straight into me again. But this time, when she got up, Fluttershy was explaining that I was not hostile or evil and the other Pegasus put her hooves to her mouth in despair. She helped me up and apologized continually. I told her it was fine but she said that one day she would make it up to me. Today is that day. "Ok, so what about this 'Wonderbolt' show?" I ask. "I got two tickets and I thought that this could make up for what I did." She says, pridefully smiling. "You don't have to!" I say, trying to tell her it was fine. "But I want to!" She pouts at me. "You wont drop this until I say yes, will you?" "Bingo!" She crosses her forelegs. "Fine!" I retort, taking one of the tickets. "Yes! Meet me at the station in 5 hours. But first stop at the library and ask Twilight if she can cast the cloud-walking spell on you. BYE!" She says as she darts of to who knows where. 5 hours eh, that gives me some time to kill. I wonder what I should do. I could always go see Fluttershy for a bit. She always seems to enjoy my company. If I'm going to her place I might as well hit up the library first so I can get the spell out of the way. I guess that's a good enough plan for now. As I head off for the library, I notice that Ponyville is very quiet today. I'm guessing everyone had something to do and are all busy. Seems reasonable enough. As I walk over to the market for a shortcut, I notice that sound is starting to reveal itself. As I turn the final corner before reaching the shopping portion of the town, I notice most of the ponies here. I guess it was shopping day for most of them. As I cut through the market, I got the occasional hello and how are you from a couple of ponies and I responded as well as I could. I honestly was not in the mood to be paying attention today. As I reached the entrance of the library, I gave it a quick knock and in doing so, a very angry unicorn shouted from the other side. "WHY DOES EVERYPONY KNOCK! IT'S A PUBLIC LIBRARY!" A wound up Twilight screamed. "Ok, A) I'm HUMAN and B) It's technically also your house" I shout back. "Well I-" She tried to speak up but couldn't. "Point Anon!" I fist pump, "May I come in?" She pokes her head out the door "Depends, do you need the couldwalking spell or are you just here to visit?" "Spell but I don't se- AHHHHHH" I scream, getting hit by a bolt of magic. "Done, goodbye!" She slams the door again. As I shake of the pain, I quickly dart my head towards the door and knock once more. As she opens the door, she looks absolutely livid. There was only one thing I could do before I went to Fluttershy's cottage. "Boop!" I say, poking her muzzle. (Spitfire POV) "Hmmm..." I start thinking to myself. "Whats up Spits?" Fleetfoot asks. "What?" I totally forgot she was beside me, "Oh, nothing. Just thinking." "About?" She tilts her head. "Do you think I'm attractive enough to be courted?" I ask, bluntly. "Ugh, this again." Fleetfoot looks at me annoyed, "Spitfire, you will find your special somepony at some point! Most stallions are just intimidated by your status as captain of the number one flying group in all of Equestria!" "I guess your right." I say, head down. "I'm always right!" She says, playfully, "Anyways, gotta fly. Catch you tonight Spits!" "See ya Fleet." I respond, still down. I honestly don't understand why no one ever tries to ask me out. I mean, Fleetfoot gets asked out all the time but she is waiting for that special somepony. I don't know what it is about me. Was Fleet right in saying that stallions are intimidated by me? Or is it just that no pony wants to date me period. Maybe after tonight's show I'll grab a drink and drown my sorrows at the bar. The bartenders a nice stallion, gave me a private booth in the back so no pony else would disturb me and anypony I brought with me. I would go there now and then between or after shows and I would rant to him all about how I felt. He would make a great coltfriend if he wasn't already married. I grab the newspaper that caught my eye a couple of weeks ago. The Ponyville Papers had published an article about that human thing finally coming into town and trying to make friends. He seemed very popular. "What I wouldn't give to meet him! He seems so cool!" (Anon POV) After my visit with Fluttershy, I headed towards the train station to see that Rainbow Dash was darting her head around, most likely trying to find me. When I waved at her, she flew over to me. "Finally you're here. Ready to go?" She asks. I nodded "Where we heading?" "Cloudsdale, I was thinking that after we watch the game that we could hit up a bar or something?" "Sounds like a plan." As she handed me a train ticket, we hopped about and sat down. As we started moving, she told me all about these Wonderbolts. The main pony she talked about was their Captain, but she didn't give a name. She kept going on about how she was her idol and how cool and awesome she was. I don't know why, but I felt intrest in listening closely about this Captain. She seemed like someone I would like to befriend. 'What I wouldn't give to meet her! She seems so famous!' I thought to myself as I listened to Rainbow talk on. Author's Note The POV will go between Spitfire and Anon depending on what chapter it is. And I don't know how short or long this chapter is going to be, I'm currently writing the authors note at 626 words. Boop scene inspired by: Before a night of drinking... (Anon/Spitfire POV)(Spitfire POV) *Knock Knock Knock* "Yeah?" I call out. "It's me Spits, can I come in?" Fleetfoot's voice sounded from the other side. "Oh, sure, come in." I say with an inviting tone. As Fleetfoot walks in and closes the door, she notices me slouching in the seat of my room. The only reason I was like this is because my mind has been running everywhere with this 'Coltfriend' thing. I know it sounds stupid for a captain to feel alone but... When you rank above everyone else... It sorta feels like you haven't got anybody. Even Fleet feels more like a inferior, which hurts a lot, seeing as she is always there for me. "Whats wrong Spits?" She asks, concerned. "You already know whats wrong..." I say quietly. She shakes her head. "Spitfire, look." Oh no, she used my real name, "If you want somepony that badly, after the show today, go out and find someone." "I guess that COULD potentially work... but what if I get rejected?" "Then move on!" She says, a commanding tone breaking the concerned one. This makes me jump a bit. Fleetfoot almost never uses the commanding tone around me unless it's because we are training new recruits. But here she is, loud and proud, suggesting I go find my special somepony. But then again, she does have a point. Maybe it's time that I go out there and find the right pony for me. "Yeah... Yeah! You're right! Tonight, I'm going to find me a stallion to call my own!" I cheer. "There's the Spits I know and love! Now come on, we start the show soon." She says, walking out the door. "Alright, one second." I call out. I hop into my Wonderbolt outfit and run out the door, shutting it behind me. (Anon POV) We had finally arrived at the Cloudsdale station and had a hour to spare, so Dash decided to show me around the Pegasus built city. We went to the city hall first where the mayor jumped at the sight of me but ended up becoming my friend within a few seconds. Everyone around here seems so cool! The next place we arrived at was the Cloudsdale stadium. She told me that this is where the Wonderbolts did their main shows due to the size. We went in and to no surprise, the inside was massive! As I walked around, I tested out the seats for other pony species or Pegasi who didn't want to fly. This time, there was an unpleasant surprise. When I sat down, the first thing I noticed was that they were as uncomfortable as the ones back home in a hockey arena. That really brings back... memories... "Anon, you ok?" A hovering Rainbow Dash asks. "Yeah... Totally fine Dash." I lie. "Talk to me." She sees right through me. "Alright, I'll explain..." I clear my throat, "Before I arrived here, I had a major breakup. Her name was Cindy. We had been going out for 3 years and things were getting pretty serious. I was actually going to propose to her too. I had set up a plan with the manager of a hockey arena for that night so I could be as romantic as possible. But the night when I was going to pop the question was the night it all went wrong. As the first intermission started, I went over to the managers office of the stadium and talked to him about the plan we placed. The screen was going to show us and have a heart around it as I proposed to her, which the manager agreed to quickly, being the hopeless romantic he was. As I left his office, Cindy was there. I asked her why she had followed me and she told me that she overheard my plan. She told me that she didn't love me enough to marry me and probably never would. Before I could say anything, she turned around and walked away. I broke down into tears and the sky decided to join me by bringing a terrible storm. I heard that she was killed that night in a freak car crash because she was texting to her friend that 'She made a mistake in saying no'. I never got to say goodbye... and I was more hurt than if I had said it in the first place." After I finished, there was a dead silence flowing through the air. I looked over at dash who was in utter shock. I tilted my head and she charged right at me, wrapping me in a hug and breaking down into tears. I stroked her mane to calm her down but that only made things worse. I pulled her off me to look her dead in the eyes. I nodded and signaled that it was ok. She understood and I pulled her back into the hug. After she had stopped crying, she sat down beside me. "Wow... I never knew that you were brought here on the worst night of your life... Is that why you haven't tried romance here yet?" "Yea... I don't want to be hurt again." I say, head down. Dash lays a hoof on my shoulder. "Lets get out of here. We can come back when the show starts, ok?" I nod my head and we leave the stadium. (Anon POV cont.) As we walked more around Cloudsdale, my mind drifted off from the memories and my content mood returned to me. The next stop was a bar that Dash said we would be drinking at that night. We went inside and looked around. It had a rustic feel to it. It felt like one of those cozy speakeasy's you would see in movies. There was a long counter curving against the back wall. At the end of the counter was a small red sofa with a private table to the left of it. The chairs at the table were labeled 'Spitfire' and 'Fleetfoot'. I was curious as to who these two were but shrugged off the thought. As I walked over to the counter, I noticed a stallion with a golden yellow coat. He saw me and waved me over. "Hello there! you must be the human from Ponyville, am I right?" He says in a English accent. "That would be me. Name's Anon, whats yours?" I reach my hand out to shake his hoof. Carefully inspecting my hand, he eventually realizes what I'm trying to do and placed a hoof in my palm. I grasped it and he spoke up. "The name's Grape Vine. I am one of the best barkeeps in Equestria." "Pleasure to meet you. Me and my friend, Rainbow dash, would like to come here after the Wonderbolt show. Would you be able to save a table for us?" I asked. "No need. Not a lot of people come here after a Wonderbolt show. They go to the big pubs and bars to quench their thirsts. We serve fine alcohol here." He says, cleaning a glass while he talked. "Oh, I see. So we can come back here later today and it will be remotely empty?" I ask, tilted my head. "Very empty. Will I be SEEING you tonight?" he leans over to me. "Yes, I think so!" I say cheerfully, "Anyways, we have go to get to the show. I'll see you later today." As he waved me and Dash off, I noticed something strange on the door. It looked like a poster for the upcoming show today. On the poster was a Mare with a fiery orange mane and shiny yellow coat. She donned a blue uniformed with lightning bolts at the hooves. Her name was Spitfire and when I checked the list that was on the back, my question from before was answered. "Hey Dash!" I call, "Is the Wonderbolt's leader named Spitfire?" "Yeah, how did you know?" I shrug. "Lucky guess?" Author's Note Next chapter will focus on Spitfires POV mainly and a little bit of Fleetfoot's perspective on the whole scenario. Stay tuned! Not the usual tablemate (Spitfire/Anon POV) (Part 1 of 3)Author's Note Hello everybody, I am sorry this took WAY to long but I was waiting to finish off my plans for it. Anyways, I know the beginning spitfire POV was small, but she gets more in the chapter. Now the way this chapter works is that the second one POV ends, time stops, switches POV's and continues at that exact pause moment (I.E 9:07, POV Changes from Anon to Spitfire, It would still be 9:07) BTW NEXT CHAPTER, DRUNKEN SHENANAGINS WILL ENSUE!!! Not the usual tablemate (Spitfire/Anon POV) (Part 1 of 3) (Spitfire POV) "MARES AND STALLIONS, FILLIES AND COLTS, WELCOME TO CLOUDSDALE STADIUM!!!" The announcer boomed from the speakers. As soon as he finished that sentence, applaud and cheer erupted from withing the viewing area. Ponies never get enough of these shows. I wish that I could see how we preform, instead of being the one showing off with the team. But even though that wish would never come true, I am always glad to show my skills to everypony! "IT IS MY PLEASURE TODAY TO PRESENT TO YOU THE BEST FLYING TEAM IN EQUESTRIA!" I watched as the team got ready to fly out that entrance and appear for the crowd. They all seemed more excited for some reason, like there was somepony special here today. Well, whatever has got them so happy is unimportant. What is important is putting on a performance that no one will ever forget! "THE WONDERBOLTS!!!" As soon as he said the name, we all flew out into the center of the stadium, making the roars of the crown even louder than it was. We took a quick lap around to get a little bit more pumped. We took our usual root and made sure everyone got a good view. After we went around, we flew up to see who had the box seats. Oddly enough, there was no pony there at the moment. I looked around but could not find anyone heading towards the seats. I decided to wait till we flew by it again to see if anypony would be there. After finishing up our quick lap, we took our positions and got ready to start the show. (Anon's POV) "Come on Anon, we're gonna miss the show!!!" Rainbow whined at me while tugging my arm. "It's not my fault! You got sidetracked!" I complained. "HEY! Stopping to show off my awesome moves does NOT count as getting sidetracked!" She glared at me. "Sureee." I rolled my eyes, which earned me a punch in the arm. We were currently rushing through the stadiums halls, trying to get to our seats. Apparently Dash got us box seats which take the longest to get to, which is why it says on the back of the ticket 'Make sure to arrive 5 minutes early to get to your seats on time'. But instead of doing that, Rainbow decided it would be a good idea to lose track of time by showing off her moves to me! Faster and faster we ran (In her case flew) in order to reach our seats. Every step I took was soundless against the puffy white flooring, yet it felt tough as stone. And with every step, memories of my past life flooded through. Every moment of the heartbreaking day pierced my mind with pain and anger. I took it for a little bit but eventually, it broke me. I stopped mid run and just stood there. "H-huh?" Rainbow was stopped with me as she was currently trying to pull me along with her so we'd go faster. Funny. I spent so much time and effort on that relationship. Where did it get me? Absolutely nowhere! "Anon? Come on, lets go!" Rainbow looked at me with anger. All I did was treat her with respect and kindness and how did she repay me? SHE LEFT ME! "A-anon, are you ok?" Rainbow's expression turned from rage to worry. EVERYTHING I DID FOR HER! I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE DID THAT TO ME!!! IF I WASN'T TRAPPED IN EQUESTRIA I SWEAR I WOUL- "ANON!" "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" I screamed at her. Rainbow quickly backed off at the volume of my voice. After realizing what happen, I returned to my senses. I looked over at her and noticed her ears were down. I quickly wrapped her in a hug to calm her. I have never snapped at any of these ponies before. I guess she thought it would never happen. "I'm sorry Rainbow, I just had a moment of..." I tried to explain, but gave up, "anyways, it's not your fault for me snapping. Come on, lets keep going." She simply nodded her head as we continued forward. After a few more minutes of running/flying, we managed to make it to our seats with little to no complications. As we sat down, I took in the view that we had. It seemed like an amazing place to sit for a show like this. Looking down into the center of the stadium, I saw what supposedly was the team in formation ready to take flight. Finally relaxing after the whole 'scene' I made, I decided that it wouldn't bother me anymore. I wanted to enjoy this show and make sure that Rainbow's gesture didn't go to waste. So once more, I got comfy in my seat and got ready for a hopefully amazing performance. (Spitfires POV) "Ready team?" I announced to the pegasi behind me. "AFFIRMATIVE!" They simultaneously answered. "Ok. On my mark, we burst towards the first ring and start the twister spin. Continue with a backwards dive and return with a boom!" I held my hoof up and looked around. Both the entire audience and my team stood motionless. Eager to begin, I prepared for takeoff. Slowly, I counted down in my head. 3... 2... 1... The hoof was dropped. And with that, we headed towards the first ring at mach speed. Lining up in a V patterns, we started to rotate and enter into a parallel turn. It continued to get faster and narrower until everyone was much closer together. Eventually, we started to create a small twister that surrounded us while we flew. Taking this as an advantage, I gave the signal for the dive. Starting to slope, we gently went into a fall. It became steeper by the second which was a good sign, as it showed it was working. We took this opportunity to set up the final move of the show-opener. Quickly, we made a U-turn and headed back upwards, making the distance between each other even smaller than before. And then, I felt it. The explosion was ready to happen. Everyone else behind me must have felt it to because the started spinning even faster. As we approached the stadiums mid-center once again, the twister rapidly vanished, and with that, came a burst of air from almost shattering the sound barrier, causing a lot of ponies to fall over off their seats. After everypony settled back into their seats, they were booming with applaud and cheering. We took our bows and started to do laps around the stadium. Each time we circled, we got higher and higher. But once we hit the height of the VIP section, I felt time slow as we approached it. I looked in and I couldn't believe what I saw. "Is that..?" My eyes widened in shock. Sitting there, next to who I believe was rainbow dash, was the human. THE ONE AND ONLY HUMAN IN EQUESTRIA! What was he doing at one of our shows?! He's smiling, so he must be enjoying it. Wow, that is a nice smile. His teeth seem so different than ours. So do his eyes. They are much smaller than anything I've seen. Huh... he seems kinda cute now that I've got a close up of hi- "LOOK OUT SPITFIRE!" Fleetfoot yelled, but it was too late. I ended up running straight into the curved corner of the stadium... hard. I heard the crowd gasp as I impacted. After a brief moment, I fell off and started free falling. I couldn't feel anything after the impact, not even my wings. I fell for a few seconds before feeling the team bringing me back up to solid cloud. As I looked around, the team frowned upon me, striking me with a little guilt. "Umm..." I started, "Yeah... I got nothing." (2 Hours Later) (Still Spitfires POV) "What the heck is wrong with me?" I say, looking into my glass of whiskey. I can't believe that happened. I have never messed up that badly in a live performance! I mean, sure, if it was in practice I would stumble a bit here and there, but this was in front of a FULL ARENA OF PONIES! Even Fleetfoot was disappointed in me. So much so that she didn't even join me for a drink. So here I am... all alone. Fleetfoot and the team are probably talking about the colossal failure of a show we put on today. WHY DID I HAVE TO GET DISTRACTED BY THAT- "One scotch on the rocks please..." A voice came from the stool. That voice belonged to none other than... "The human..!" I whispered, looking at him. What was he doing here? And why does he seem so depressed? I saw him smiling at the show. Is he upset that I screwed it up? Good job Spitfire, PERFECT first impressions! Maybe I could talk to him. I mean, he is alone. And much taller than I thought. And... still sorta cute, I guess... FOCUS SPITFIRE, just walk up to him and talk, it's simple. "Um, hello?" A voice attempted to greet. Maybe he hates me after today! Did I lose the chance to make a new friend? "Hello??" A bit louder this time. Why must today be full of bad luck an- "HEY!" "W-wha?" I snap out of my thought train and see that the human is standing right in front of me, staring me in the eyes. "Woah! Easy there. I was just saying hello!" He said, calmly and sweetly, "You're Spitfire, right?" He knew my name? HOW?! Wait... didn't it say in the paper that he lived in Ponyville? Maybe that Rainbow Dash told him about me. "Yeah, that's me. And you are?" I ask, trying to retake my first impressions. "The names Anon." He said then chuckled, "I really enjoyed today's show!" "R-really?" I questioned in disbelief. "Yeah! I loved seeing you all fly around. You know, until the incident..." "Oh... right..." My head fell at that comment. "Hey, it's ok! I enjoyed the rest of it." He tried to cheer me up, "If it makes you feel any better, I've wanted to meet you all day!" "Really?" I ask, astonished. "Yeah, you seem cool." He smiled. I can't believe it. The only human in all of Equestria wanted to meet me! If that doesn't make a mare feel special then I don't know what will. Maybe this is my chance... "Well, Anon" I start, "Fleetfoot didn't join me today at the bar and I have an empty seat at my private table. Would you care to join me?" "Hmm..." He rubbed his chin, "I would like that." "Well come on then!" I lead the way back to my table. Not the usual tablemate (Spitfire/Anon POV) (Part 2 of 3)(Anon's POV) So, lets recap whats happened so far today! First, I broke down at the wonderbolt's show, which caused me to snap at Rainbow Dash. Then outta the blue, the captain of the wonderbolt's crashes and messes up, which was so scary seeing that she could have been hurt, and finally I ended up in the bar with SAID CAPTAIN as my tablemate! What is going on today. I've been here for about a half hour now and she is a little tipsy, so am I. We have talked a little and I have gotten to know her a little bit. She was different to say the least, unlike other famous people who hate to be bothered outside the movie set or just put on a fake personality for the audience their singing to. But Spitfire seemed like she WANTED to talk to me. It felt nice. "So Spitfire..." I grab her attention while I think of something to ask. She looks towards me, still drinking her glass of whiskey. "Mhmm?" "Have you ever had anypony go starstruck from meeting you?" I ask with a sly grin. She swallowed what she had in her mouth and smiled back. "Of course! A lot of ponies are like that! There is one in particular who does it EVERY TIME she sees me." "Rainbow Dash?" "Bingo!" She said, bringing us both into a laughing fit. I looked closely at Spitfire. These ponies were super adorable, with them being smaller than me and the fact that they were so colorful. But I don't think that she was that adorable. She seemed to be more on the pretty side. After observing her for a bit longer, she finally noticed I was looking at her. "You ok, Anon?" She asked. As soon as I heard her say that, my vision went blurry and a flashback played in my mind. "It's nice out here isn't it?" Cindy asked me, before turning to face me, eye to eye, "You ok sweetie?" "Yeah... I am..." I say, smiling, "I just wanted to take in the sight of you... it really is quite nice." "Aww... that's so sweet of you!" Cindy cooed, proceeding to kiss me on the cheek. "Anon?" "Huh?" I snapped back to the real world with my vision clear as day. "I asked if you were ok!" She said, worried. "Oh... yeah I'm fine. It's just you look different than most ponies." "Really?" She asked, intrigued, "How so? Is it the wings? It's the wings, isn't it?" "No, most of the ponies around here are adorable... you are..." "What? Creepy? Ugly? Horri-" "Kinda Beautiful." I say, grinning slightly. "B-beautiful?" She said, blushing. (Spitfire's POV) He just called me beautiful... I know that we are both under the influence of alcohol but... he just told me that I'm beautiful. That is something I rarely hear... especially when it is directed towards me. "R-really?" I ask. "Yeah. There is something about you that just makes it so." "Wow..." I shake off the blush, "Thanks." This makes him smile. "So, should we get another drink?" "I thought you would never ask!" I say, delighted, and called a waiter over, "Whiskey please." "And for you sir?" The waiter said. "Caramel-Mint Scotch, if you would." "Excellent choice. One moment." The waiter confirmed and headed towards the bar. I looked over at Anon who was looking around. It wasn't very packed at the moment so he had barely anything to look at. After a good 3 minutes, he looked at me with a soft smile and looked away. "Hey Spitfire..?" He asked. "Yeah?" I ask. "Can you hear that?" "Hear what?" I ask, listening to the sounds around me. "Close your eyes and focus on the clock on the wall." He said in an assuring tone. I did as he requested. I closed my eyes slowly and focused on the clock hanging on the wall. After a few seconds, time seemed to freeze as all sound came to a halt. Afraid to open my eyes, I focused more, and a single sound filled the room. The chime of the clock striking. I was in awe of what was happening. As I opened my eyes, Anon was still across from me, looking away with his eyes closed. After a few minutes of sitting there, Anon returned to normal. "How was it?" He asked, calmly. "It was wonderful!" I exclaimed. "Good. Use that whenever you are stressed. It can really help." I gave him a small smile. "Well, were at the bar, and we have been drinking slowly. Lets have some fun!" "Now THAT'S an idea I like!" Anon cheered, and called the waiter over once more. (Still Spitfire's POV) (2 Hours Later) By the time we walked out of the bar together, me and Anon were both completely smashed. I knew we should of stopped at our... 3...4...17... 19th drink off... I can't remember. I can't really remember anything at the moment actually... what was I talking about? "Yoo-Hoo. Earth to Spitzy!" A voice said, sounding drunk. Snapping out of my thought, I saw Anon in front of me, stumbling around. "Whaz yu says Anon?" I attempted to speak. "I saids Earth to Spitzy!" "Earth?" I asked. "Yeaaaa! Remember I told you that is wher I come froms?" He attempted to explain. "Hehe..." "What?" "Yu sayd that." I burst out laughing. "Heh... funni..." He chuckled to. "Sooo" I managed to get out, "What shuld we do now?" "Hmmm... how abot w-" Anon was cut off by another voice yelling. "There you are!" We both looked up to see an angry Rainbow Dash and FleetFoot looking down at us. They swoop down and land right in front of us. We looked at each other and then back to the pair. We may have been smashed, but we both knew we were in trouble. The problem, however, was that neither me or Anon gave a damn. "Where in Equestria were you Anon?!" Rainbow screamed. "Same with you Spits!" FleetFoot yelled, "You should have been home a hour ago!" Me and Anon looked at each other, then turned our bodies to the bar and pointed straight at it, turning our head so that we could give Rainbow and Fleet a confused look. "So" FleetFoot looked to Rainbow, "Should we punish them?" Rainbow grinned at the idea "Yeah! How abou-" At that moment, all logic went out the window and my drunk self turned on escape mode. "Anon?" "Yea Spitzy?" "BOOK IT!" I screamed, as we ran away as fast as we could. While we were running, I looked back to see FleetFoot holding Rainbow back from chasing us. She knew that I would get into trouble, but me and my drunken flank didn't care. I wanted to have fun! Not the usual tablemate (Anon POV) (Part 3 of 3)Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Whats a Wonderbolt? (Anon/Spitfire POV)(Anon POV) "A what now?" I ask, tilting my head. "Wonderbolt! Get it through your thick head, will you?" Rainbow Dash glares at me. It has been less than a month since I arrived in this place known as Equestria. I'll be honest, I'm not the smartest of people, so I can't really explain how I got here. All I remember is a thunderstorm and a flash of lightning and something coming towards me. Next thing I know, I'm here. But less than 5 seconds after arrival, I instantly got tackled by a rainbow maned Pegasus. Yes, that's right. The inhabitants of this land are ponies. Talking ponies who look like they were spawned from a crayon box. I was terrified of them at first but they were even more so of me. I had to run into the forest to hide away and I have been living there ever since. I have a nice house that I built, cozy and sturdy. It was hard to get food at the time, but that problem didn't last for long. One day I had left my house to scavenge for food and I noticed a basket just sitting there and inside were some seeds. Along with that were gardening supplies and a note from a Fluttershy. As soon as I asked what a Fluttershy was, a yellow Pegasus with a light pink mane landed in front of me. I screamed and ran into the house as fast as I could. A few minutes later I heard crying outside. I slowly opened my front door and noticed that the Pegasus was crying. As much as I wanted to tell her to fly away and leave me alone, my caring side TKO'd my shy side and I slowly walked towards her. As I sat in front of her, she looked up and tilted her head. I opened my arms to invite her into a hug and she accepted it and started the waterworks. She told me that she had very bad social anxiety and had a hard time making new friends. I felt heartbroken for running and starting tearing up. I asked her name but she couldn't stop crying. So I just held her there. Funny enough, she was the one to help me break my shell and go out into town with her that day. As we walked through the town, everyone seemed frightened of me, but when they saw that Fluttershy was at my side, they all smiled at me. That is until that same rainbow maned Pegasus rammed straight into me again. But this time, when she got up, Fluttershy was explaining that I was not hostile or evil and the other Pegasus put her hooves to her mouth in despair. She helped me up and apologized continually. I told her it was fine but she said that one day she would make it up to me. Today is that day. "Ok, so what about this 'Wonderbolt' show?" I ask. "I got two tickets and I thought that this could make up for what I did." She says, pridefully smiling. "You don't have to!" I say, trying to tell her it was fine. "But I want to!" She pouts at me. "You wont drop this until I say yes, will you?" "Bingo!" She crosses her forelegs. "Fine!" I retort, taking one of the tickets. "Yes! Meet me at the station in 5 hours. But first stop at the library and ask Twilight if she can cast the cloud-walking spell on you. BYE!" She says as she darts of to who knows where. 5 hours eh, that gives me some time to kill. I wonder what I should do. I could always go see Fluttershy for a bit. She always seems to enjoy my company. If I'm going to her place I might as well hit up the library first so I can get the spell out of the way. I guess that's a good enough plan for now. As I head off for the library, I notice that Ponyville is very quiet today. I'm guessing everyone had something to do and are all busy. Seems reasonable enough. As I walk over to the market for a shortcut, I notice that sound is starting to reveal itself. As I turn the final corner before reaching the shopping portion of the town, I notice most of the ponies here. I guess it was shopping day for most of them. As I cut through the market, I got the occasional hello and how are you from a couple of ponies and I responded as well as I could. I honestly was not in the mood to be paying attention today. As I reached the entrance of the library, I gave it a quick knock and in doing so, a very angry unicorn shouted from the other side. "WHY DOES EVERYPONY KNOCK! IT'S A PUBLIC LIBRARY!" A wound up Twilight screamed. "Ok, A) I'm HUMAN and B) It's technically also your house" I shout back. "Well I-" She tried to speak up but couldn't. "Point Anon!" I fist pump, "May I come in?" She pokes her head out the door "Depends, do you need the couldwalking spell or are you just here to visit?" "Spell but I don't se- AHHHHHH" I scream, getting hit by a bolt of magic. "Done, goodbye!" She slams the door again. As I shake of the pain, I quickly dart my head towards the door and knock once more. As she opens the door, she looks absolutely livid. There was only one thing I could do before I went to Fluttershy's cottage. "Boop!" I say, poking her muzzle. (Spitfire POV) "Hmmm..." I start thinking to myself. "Whats up Spits?" Fleetfoot asks. "What?" I totally forgot she was beside me, "Oh, nothing. Just thinking." "About?" She tilts her head. "Do you think I'm attractive enough to be courted?" I ask, bluntly. "Ugh, this again." Fleetfoot looks at me annoyed, "Spitfire, you will find your special somepony at some point! Most stallions are just intimidated by your status as captain of the number one flying group in all of Equestria!" "I guess your right." I say, head down. "I'm always right!" She says, playfully, "Anyways, gotta fly. Catch you tonight Spits!" "See ya Fleet." I respond, still down. I honestly don't understand why no one ever tries to ask me out. I mean, Fleetfoot gets asked out all the time but she is waiting for that special somepony. I don't know what it is about me. Was Fleet right in saying that stallions are intimidated by me? Or is it just that no pony wants to date me period. Maybe after tonight's show I'll grab a drink and drown my sorrows at the bar. The bartenders a nice stallion, gave me a private booth in the back so no pony else would disturb me and anypony I brought with me. I would go there now and then between or after shows and I would rant to him all about how I felt. He would make a great coltfriend if he wasn't already married. I grab the newspaper that caught my eye a couple of weeks ago. The Ponyville Papers had published an article about that human thing finally coming into town and trying to make friends. He seemed very popular. "What I wouldn't give to meet him! He seems so cool!" (Anon POV) After my visit with Fluttershy, I headed towards the train station to see that Rainbow Dash was darting her head around, most likely trying to find me. When I waved at her, she flew over to me. "Finally you're here. Ready to go?" She asks. I nodded "Where we heading?" "Cloudsdale, I was thinking that after we watch the game that we could hit up a bar or something?" "Sounds like a plan." As she handed me a train ticket, we hopped about and sat down. As we started moving, she told me all about these Wonderbolts. The main pony she talked about was their Captain, but she didn't give a name. She kept going on about how she was her idol and how cool and awesome she was. I don't know why, but I felt intrest in listening closely about this Captain. She seemed like someone I would like to befriend. 'What I wouldn't give to meet her! She seems so famous!' I thought to myself as I listened to Rainbow talk on. Author's Note The POV will go between Spitfire and Anon depending on what chapter it is. And I don't know how short or long this chapter is going to be, I'm currently writing the authors note at 626 words. Boop scene inspired by:
Before a night of drinking... (Anon/Spitfire POV)(Spitfire POV) *Knock Knock Knock* "Yeah?" I call out. "It's me Spits, can I come in?" Fleetfoot's voice sounded from the other side. "Oh, sure, come in." I say with an inviting tone. As Fleetfoot walks in and closes the door, she notices me slouching in the seat of my room. The only reason I was like this is because my mind has been running everywhere with this 'Coltfriend' thing. I know it sounds stupid for a captain to feel alone but... When you rank above everyone else... It sorta feels like you haven't got anybody. Even Fleet feels more like a inferior, which hurts a lot, seeing as she is always there for me. "Whats wrong Spits?" She asks, concerned. "You already know whats wrong..." I say quietly. She shakes her head. "Spitfire, look." Oh no, she used my real name, "If you want somepony that badly, after the show today, go out and find someone." "I guess that COULD potentially work... but what if I get rejected?" "Then move on!" She says, a commanding tone breaking the concerned one. This makes me jump a bit. Fleetfoot almost never uses the commanding tone around me unless it's because we are training new recruits. But here she is, loud and proud, suggesting I go find my special somepony. But then again, she does have a point. Maybe it's time that I go out there and find the right pony for me. "Yeah... Yeah! You're right! Tonight, I'm going to find me a stallion to call my own!" I cheer. "There's the Spits I know and love! Now come on, we start the show soon." She says, walking out the door. "Alright, one second." I call out. I hop into my Wonderbolt outfit and run out the door, shutting it behind me. (Anon POV) We had finally arrived at the Cloudsdale station and had a hour to spare, so Dash decided to show me around the Pegasus built city. We went to the city hall first where the mayor jumped at the sight of me but ended up becoming my friend within a few seconds. Everyone around here seems so cool! The next place we arrived at was the Cloudsdale stadium. She told me that this is where the Wonderbolts did their main shows due to the size. We went in and to no surprise, the inside was massive! As I walked around, I tested out the seats for other pony species or Pegasi who didn't want to fly. This time, there was an unpleasant surprise. When I sat down, the first thing I noticed was that they were as uncomfortable as the ones back home in a hockey arena. That really brings back... memories... "Anon, you ok?" A hovering Rainbow Dash asks. "Yeah... Totally fine Dash." I lie. "Talk to me." She sees right through me. "Alright, I'll explain..." I clear my throat, "Before I arrived here, I had a major breakup. Her name was Cindy. We had been going out for 3 years and things were getting pretty serious. I was actually going to propose to her too. I had set up a plan with the manager of a hockey arena for that night so I could be as romantic as possible. But the night when I was going to pop the question was the night it all went wrong. As the first intermission started, I went over to the managers office of the stadium and talked to him about the plan we placed. The screen was going to show us and have a heart around it as I proposed to her, which the manager agreed to quickly, being the hopeless romantic he was. As I left his office, Cindy was there. I asked her why she had followed me and she told me that she overheard my plan. She told me that she didn't love me enough to marry me and probably never would. Before I could say anything, she turned around and walked away. I broke down into tears and the sky decided to join me by bringing a terrible storm. I heard that she was killed that night in a freak car crash because she was texting to her friend that 'She made a mistake in saying no'. I never got to say goodbye... and I was more hurt than if I had said it in the first place." After I finished, there was a dead silence flowing through the air. I looked over at dash who was in utter shock. I tilted my head and she charged right at me, wrapping me in a hug and breaking down into tears. I stroked her mane to calm her down but that only made things worse. I pulled her off me to look her dead in the eyes. I nodded and signaled that it was ok. She understood and I pulled her back into the hug. After she had stopped crying, she sat down beside me. "Wow... I never knew that you were brought here on the worst night of your life... Is that why you haven't tried romance here yet?" "Yea... I don't want to be hurt again." I say, head down. Dash lays a hoof on my shoulder. "Lets get out of here. We can come back when the show starts, ok?" I nod my head and we leave the stadium. (Anon POV cont.) As we walked more around Cloudsdale, my mind drifted off from the memories and my content mood returned to me. The next stop was a bar that Dash said we would be drinking at that night. We went inside and looked around. It had a rustic feel to it. It felt like one of those cozy speakeasy's you would see in movies. There was a long counter curving against the back wall. At the end of the counter was a small red sofa with a private table to the left of it. The chairs at the table were labeled 'Spitfire' and 'Fleetfoot'. I was curious as to who these two were but shrugged off the thought. As I walked over to the counter, I noticed a stallion with a golden yellow coat. He saw me and waved me over. "Hello there! you must be the human from Ponyville, am I right?" He says in a English accent. "That would be me. Name's Anon, whats yours?" I reach my hand out to shake his hoof. Carefully inspecting my hand, he eventually realizes what I'm trying to do and placed a hoof in my palm. I grasped it and he spoke up. "The name's Grape Vine. I am one of the best barkeeps in Equestria." "Pleasure to meet you. Me and my friend, Rainbow dash, would like to come here after the Wonderbolt show. Would you be able to save a table for us?" I asked. "No need. Not a lot of people come here after a Wonderbolt show. They go to the big pubs and bars to quench their thirsts. We serve fine alcohol here." He says, cleaning a glass while he talked. "Oh, I see. So we can come back here later today and it will be remotely empty?" I ask, tilted my head. "Very empty. Will I be SEEING you tonight?" he leans over to me. "Yes, I think so!" I say cheerfully, "Anyways, we have go to get to the show. I'll see you later today." As he waved me and Dash off, I noticed something strange on the door. It looked like a poster for the upcoming show today. On the poster was a Mare with a fiery orange mane and shiny yellow coat. She donned a blue uniformed with lightning bolts at the hooves. Her name was Spitfire and when I checked the list that was on the back, my question from before was answered. "Hey Dash!" I call, "Is the Wonderbolt's leader named Spitfire?" "Yeah, how did you know?" I shrug. "Lucky guess?" Author's Note Next chapter will focus on Spitfires POV mainly and a little bit of Fleetfoot's perspective on the whole scenario. Stay tuned!
Not the usual tablemate (Spitfire/Anon POV) (Part 1 of 3)Author's Note Hello everybody, I am sorry this took WAY to long but I was waiting to finish off my plans for it. Anyways, I know the beginning spitfire POV was small, but she gets more in the chapter. Now the way this chapter works is that the second one POV ends, time stops, switches POV's and continues at that exact pause moment (I.E 9:07, POV Changes from Anon to Spitfire, It would still be 9:07) BTW NEXT CHAPTER, DRUNKEN SHENANAGINS WILL ENSUE!!! Not the usual tablemate (Spitfire/Anon POV) (Part 1 of 3) (Spitfire POV) "MARES AND STALLIONS, FILLIES AND COLTS, WELCOME TO CLOUDSDALE STADIUM!!!" The announcer boomed from the speakers. As soon as he finished that sentence, applaud and cheer erupted from withing the viewing area. Ponies never get enough of these shows. I wish that I could see how we preform, instead of being the one showing off with the team. But even though that wish would never come true, I am always glad to show my skills to everypony! "IT IS MY PLEASURE TODAY TO PRESENT TO YOU THE BEST FLYING TEAM IN EQUESTRIA!" I watched as the team got ready to fly out that entrance and appear for the crowd. They all seemed more excited for some reason, like there was somepony special here today. Well, whatever has got them so happy is unimportant. What is important is putting on a performance that no one will ever forget! "THE WONDERBOLTS!!!" As soon as he said the name, we all flew out into the center of the stadium, making the roars of the crown even louder than it was. We took a quick lap around to get a little bit more pumped. We took our usual root and made sure everyone got a good view. After we went around, we flew up to see who had the box seats. Oddly enough, there was no pony there at the moment. I looked around but could not find anyone heading towards the seats. I decided to wait till we flew by it again to see if anypony would be there. After finishing up our quick lap, we took our positions and got ready to start the show. (Anon's POV) "Come on Anon, we're gonna miss the show!!!" Rainbow whined at me while tugging my arm. "It's not my fault! You got sidetracked!" I complained. "HEY! Stopping to show off my awesome moves does NOT count as getting sidetracked!" She glared at me. "Sureee." I rolled my eyes, which earned me a punch in the arm. We were currently rushing through the stadiums halls, trying to get to our seats. Apparently Dash got us box seats which take the longest to get to, which is why it says on the back of the ticket 'Make sure to arrive 5 minutes early to get to your seats on time'. But instead of doing that, Rainbow decided it would be a good idea to lose track of time by showing off her moves to me! Faster and faster we ran (In her case flew) in order to reach our seats. Every step I took was soundless against the puffy white flooring, yet it felt tough as stone. And with every step, memories of my past life flooded through. Every moment of the heartbreaking day pierced my mind with pain and anger. I took it for a little bit but eventually, it broke me. I stopped mid run and just stood there. "H-huh?" Rainbow was stopped with me as she was currently trying to pull me along with her so we'd go faster. Funny. I spent so much time and effort on that relationship. Where did it get me? Absolutely nowhere! "Anon? Come on, lets go!" Rainbow looked at me with anger. All I did was treat her with respect and kindness and how did she repay me? SHE LEFT ME! "A-anon, are you ok?" Rainbow's expression turned from rage to worry. EVERYTHING I DID FOR HER! I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE DID THAT TO ME!!! IF I WASN'T TRAPPED IN EQUESTRIA I SWEAR I WOUL- "ANON!" "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" I screamed at her. Rainbow quickly backed off at the volume of my voice. After realizing what happen, I returned to my senses. I looked over at her and noticed her ears were down. I quickly wrapped her in a hug to calm her. I have never snapped at any of these ponies before. I guess she thought it would never happen. "I'm sorry Rainbow, I just had a moment of..." I tried to explain, but gave up, "anyways, it's not your fault for me snapping. Come on, lets keep going." She simply nodded her head as we continued forward. After a few more minutes of running/flying, we managed to make it to our seats with little to no complications. As we sat down, I took in the view that we had. It seemed like an amazing place to sit for a show like this. Looking down into the center of the stadium, I saw what supposedly was the team in formation ready to take flight. Finally relaxing after the whole 'scene' I made, I decided that it wouldn't bother me anymore. I wanted to enjoy this show and make sure that Rainbow's gesture didn't go to waste. So once more, I got comfy in my seat and got ready for a hopefully amazing performance. (Spitfires POV) "Ready team?" I announced to the pegasi behind me. "AFFIRMATIVE!" They simultaneously answered. "Ok. On my mark, we burst towards the first ring and start the twister spin. Continue with a backwards dive and return with a boom!" I held my hoof up and looked around. Both the entire audience and my team stood motionless. Eager to begin, I prepared for takeoff. Slowly, I counted down in my head. 3... 2... 1... The hoof was dropped. And with that, we headed towards the first ring at mach speed. Lining up in a V patterns, we started to rotate and enter into a parallel turn. It continued to get faster and narrower until everyone was much closer together. Eventually, we started to create a small twister that surrounded us while we flew. Taking this as an advantage, I gave the signal for the dive. Starting to slope, we gently went into a fall. It became steeper by the second which was a good sign, as it showed it was working. We took this opportunity to set up the final move of the show-opener. Quickly, we made a U-turn and headed back upwards, making the distance between each other even smaller than before. And then, I felt it. The explosion was ready to happen. Everyone else behind me must have felt it to because the started spinning even faster. As we approached the stadiums mid-center once again, the twister rapidly vanished, and with that, came a burst of air from almost shattering the sound barrier, causing a lot of ponies to fall over off their seats. After everypony settled back into their seats, they were booming with applaud and cheering. We took our bows and started to do laps around the stadium. Each time we circled, we got higher and higher. But once we hit the height of the VIP section, I felt time slow as we approached it. I looked in and I couldn't believe what I saw. "Is that..?" My eyes widened in shock. Sitting there, next to who I believe was rainbow dash, was the human. THE ONE AND ONLY HUMAN IN EQUESTRIA! What was he doing at one of our shows?! He's smiling, so he must be enjoying it. Wow, that is a nice smile. His teeth seem so different than ours. So do his eyes. They are much smaller than anything I've seen. Huh... he seems kinda cute now that I've got a close up of hi- "LOOK OUT SPITFIRE!" Fleetfoot yelled, but it was too late. I ended up running straight into the curved corner of the stadium... hard. I heard the crowd gasp as I impacted. After a brief moment, I fell off and started free falling. I couldn't feel anything after the impact, not even my wings. I fell for a few seconds before feeling the team bringing me back up to solid cloud. As I looked around, the team frowned upon me, striking me with a little guilt. "Umm..." I started, "Yeah... I got nothing." (2 Hours Later) (Still Spitfires POV) "What the heck is wrong with me?" I say, looking into my glass of whiskey. I can't believe that happened. I have never messed up that badly in a live performance! I mean, sure, if it was in practice I would stumble a bit here and there, but this was in front of a FULL ARENA OF PONIES! Even Fleetfoot was disappointed in me. So much so that she didn't even join me for a drink. So here I am... all alone. Fleetfoot and the team are probably talking about the colossal failure of a show we put on today. WHY DID I HAVE TO GET DISTRACTED BY THAT- "One scotch on the rocks please..." A voice came from the stool. That voice belonged to none other than... "The human..!" I whispered, looking at him. What was he doing here? And why does he seem so depressed? I saw him smiling at the show. Is he upset that I screwed it up? Good job Spitfire, PERFECT first impressions! Maybe I could talk to him. I mean, he is alone. And much taller than I thought. And... still sorta cute, I guess... FOCUS SPITFIRE, just walk up to him and talk, it's simple. "Um, hello?" A voice attempted to greet. Maybe he hates me after today! Did I lose the chance to make a new friend? "Hello??" A bit louder this time. Why must today be full of bad luck an- "HEY!" "W-wha?" I snap out of my thought train and see that the human is standing right in front of me, staring me in the eyes. "Woah! Easy there. I was just saying hello!" He said, calmly and sweetly, "You're Spitfire, right?" He knew my name? HOW?! Wait... didn't it say in the paper that he lived in Ponyville? Maybe that Rainbow Dash told him about me. "Yeah, that's me. And you are?" I ask, trying to retake my first impressions. "The names Anon." He said then chuckled, "I really enjoyed today's show!" "R-really?" I questioned in disbelief. "Yeah! I loved seeing you all fly around. You know, until the incident..." "Oh... right..." My head fell at that comment. "Hey, it's ok! I enjoyed the rest of it." He tried to cheer me up, "If it makes you feel any better, I've wanted to meet you all day!" "Really?" I ask, astonished. "Yeah, you seem cool." He smiled. I can't believe it. The only human in all of Equestria wanted to meet me! If that doesn't make a mare feel special then I don't know what will. Maybe this is my chance... "Well, Anon" I start, "Fleetfoot didn't join me today at the bar and I have an empty seat at my private table. Would you care to join me?" "Hmm..." He rubbed his chin, "I would like that." "Well come on then!" I lead the way back to my table.
Not the usual tablemate (Spitfire/Anon POV) (Part 2 of 3)(Anon's POV) So, lets recap whats happened so far today! First, I broke down at the wonderbolt's show, which caused me to snap at Rainbow Dash. Then outta the blue, the captain of the wonderbolt's crashes and messes up, which was so scary seeing that she could have been hurt, and finally I ended up in the bar with SAID CAPTAIN as my tablemate! What is going on today. I've been here for about a half hour now and she is a little tipsy, so am I. We have talked a little and I have gotten to know her a little bit. She was different to say the least, unlike other famous people who hate to be bothered outside the movie set or just put on a fake personality for the audience their singing to. But Spitfire seemed like she WANTED to talk to me. It felt nice. "So Spitfire..." I grab her attention while I think of something to ask. She looks towards me, still drinking her glass of whiskey. "Mhmm?" "Have you ever had anypony go starstruck from meeting you?" I ask with a sly grin. She swallowed what she had in her mouth and smiled back. "Of course! A lot of ponies are like that! There is one in particular who does it EVERY TIME she sees me." "Rainbow Dash?" "Bingo!" She said, bringing us both into a laughing fit. I looked closely at Spitfire. These ponies were super adorable, with them being smaller than me and the fact that they were so colorful. But I don't think that she was that adorable. She seemed to be more on the pretty side. After observing her for a bit longer, she finally noticed I was looking at her. "You ok, Anon?" She asked. As soon as I heard her say that, my vision went blurry and a flashback played in my mind. "It's nice out here isn't it?" Cindy asked me, before turning to face me, eye to eye, "You ok sweetie?" "Yeah... I am..." I say, smiling, "I just wanted to take in the sight of you... it really is quite nice." "Aww... that's so sweet of you!" Cindy cooed, proceeding to kiss me on the cheek. "Anon?" "Huh?" I snapped back to the real world with my vision clear as day. "I asked if you were ok!" She said, worried. "Oh... yeah I'm fine. It's just you look different than most ponies." "Really?" She asked, intrigued, "How so? Is it the wings? It's the wings, isn't it?" "No, most of the ponies around here are adorable... you are..." "What? Creepy? Ugly? Horri-" "Kinda Beautiful." I say, grinning slightly. "B-beautiful?" She said, blushing. (Spitfire's POV) He just called me beautiful... I know that we are both under the influence of alcohol but... he just told me that I'm beautiful. That is something I rarely hear... especially when it is directed towards me. "R-really?" I ask. "Yeah. There is something about you that just makes it so." "Wow..." I shake off the blush, "Thanks." This makes him smile. "So, should we get another drink?" "I thought you would never ask!" I say, delighted, and called a waiter over, "Whiskey please." "And for you sir?" The waiter said. "Caramel-Mint Scotch, if you would." "Excellent choice. One moment." The waiter confirmed and headed towards the bar. I looked over at Anon who was looking around. It wasn't very packed at the moment so he had barely anything to look at. After a good 3 minutes, he looked at me with a soft smile and looked away. "Hey Spitfire..?" He asked. "Yeah?" I ask. "Can you hear that?" "Hear what?" I ask, listening to the sounds around me. "Close your eyes and focus on the clock on the wall." He said in an assuring tone. I did as he requested. I closed my eyes slowly and focused on the clock hanging on the wall. After a few seconds, time seemed to freeze as all sound came to a halt. Afraid to open my eyes, I focused more, and a single sound filled the room. The chime of the clock striking. I was in awe of what was happening. As I opened my eyes, Anon was still across from me, looking away with his eyes closed. After a few minutes of sitting there, Anon returned to normal. "How was it?" He asked, calmly. "It was wonderful!" I exclaimed. "Good. Use that whenever you are stressed. It can really help." I gave him a small smile. "Well, were at the bar, and we have been drinking slowly. Lets have some fun!" "Now THAT'S an idea I like!" Anon cheered, and called the waiter over once more. (Still Spitfire's POV) (2 Hours Later) By the time we walked out of the bar together, me and Anon were both completely smashed. I knew we should of stopped at our... 3...4...17... 19th drink off... I can't remember. I can't really remember anything at the moment actually... what was I talking about? "Yoo-Hoo. Earth to Spitzy!" A voice said, sounding drunk. Snapping out of my thought, I saw Anon in front of me, stumbling around. "Whaz yu says Anon?" I attempted to speak. "I saids Earth to Spitzy!" "Earth?" I asked. "Yeaaaa! Remember I told you that is wher I come froms?" He attempted to explain. "Hehe..." "What?" "Yu sayd that." I burst out laughing. "Heh... funni..." He chuckled to. "Sooo" I managed to get out, "What shuld we do now?" "Hmmm... how abot w-" Anon was cut off by another voice yelling. "There you are!" We both looked up to see an angry Rainbow Dash and FleetFoot looking down at us. They swoop down and land right in front of us. We looked at each other and then back to the pair. We may have been smashed, but we both knew we were in trouble. The problem, however, was that neither me or Anon gave a damn. "Where in Equestria were you Anon?!" Rainbow screamed. "Same with you Spits!" FleetFoot yelled, "You should have been home a hour ago!" Me and Anon looked at each other, then turned our bodies to the bar and pointed straight at it, turning our head so that we could give Rainbow and Fleet a confused look. "So" FleetFoot looked to Rainbow, "Should we punish them?" Rainbow grinned at the idea "Yeah! How abou-" At that moment, all logic went out the window and my drunk self turned on escape mode. "Anon?" "Yea Spitzy?" "BOOK IT!" I screamed, as we ran away as fast as we could. While we were running, I looked back to see FleetFoot holding Rainbow back from chasing us. She knew that I would get into trouble, but me and my drunken flank didn't care. I wanted to have fun!
Not the usual tablemate (Anon POV) (Part 3 of 3)Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
