Wub-a-Light Love Song

Night time was a lively time in Ponyville these days.

After Twilight's fierce time travel battle with Starlight Glimmer, the pink unicorn settled in town and built herself a cottage near Fluttershy's. Starlight was happy to be surrounded by friends, at the same time it was nice to be liked again. For so long now she had been alone and took her anger out on others. No more.

Tonight was the first time she'd go into a bar. Being in her mid twenties Starlight wanted to get caught up with her inner child which never fully blossomed. To start she did all the things other ponies would normally do and complied them into one big check list, which Twilight was all too happy top help organize it.

She was well into half of her list when she decided to skip a few things and go to a bar first. After all adventure was good for the soul, or so Granny Smith told her once. The pink mare trolled down the narrow streets of Ponyvilles equivalent to a 'red light district' looking for a good place to have a drink.

In truth it was really just a street like any other in Ponyville. Sure it wasn't Manehatten with strip bars or anything like that but it was a street filled with lights and exotic dances of all shapes and sizes. Starlight wandered down the street, called Jumping Ave, and looked around at the various bars and themed cafes. She spotted a very ornate Euro-style one with Prench maid ponies attending to customers. She thought how cute it was seeing the young mares and fillies in those elaborately decorated skirts and dresses. She was sure Rarity had some hoof in their design at one point in time. Passing by she found what she had been looking for.

It was a small bar that had no particular unique features. It was basically a black box with a light brown wooden frame around it and a few tinted windows and two sets of double doors, one for entry and one clearly marked for exiting. She saw a short line of ponies and a few griffins awaiting entry with two large stallions in black suit tops and dark glasses at the entryway.

*How stereotypical.* she thought looking at the guards.

She then walked over to the line and stood there among a crowd of twenty or so ponies. Most of them were young mares and a few stallions who were clearly young enough to get their ID's checked. A half an hour later she was finally at the entry way and showed her ID. The guard let her in without any trouble but she was sure he flinched after reading her ID.

*Guess word still traveled of my previous exploits.* she sighed putting her ID back in her black coat.

Normally she didn't wear anything but today was an exception. She wanted to look good and not just average like any old pony. She wore a simple black coat similar to an old private eye detectives coat and a cute little black cap to match. She herself was a mare of simple tastes, something she retained from her times as a town leader.

She loved simple things and had a simple home. Ever since she reformed it had been a struggle to earn the trust of the mane Six. She herself did make it harder by shutting out Fluttershy. In her mind the yellow pegasus betrayed her trust and was the one who had to apologize to her, but the others didn't take it so well.

After a brief fight Starlight stormed out of Twilight's Castle and wen't looking for a place to sit down and vent. Which brought her here to this bar. A spur of the moment thing. What a choice it was. The building was completely hollow being one massive room with two separate bars at either end a dance floor in the center and a large stage at the far end between the dance floor and the bars.

The walls were black with red tiles and the stage had it's curtains open with a large set of speakers and buffers around a small set of machines they were wired to. There was a lot of ponies dancing on the floor to a loud country style song. Starlight saw that most of the ponies looked like they were in their twenties. It made her feel old. She sat at the bar far to the left taking her coat and placed it on her bar stool before sitting on it. \

The barekeep, a older mare in a stiff vest and tie looked at the pink mare and put a small glass in front of her. "What can I get ya, hon?"

Starlight didn't even think about what she wanted, she knew what she needed. "I'll have Prussian Standard. Dry."

"Ah, so you're a big shot drinker huh?" the mare asked.

Starlight looked at her for the first time and saw a light grey earth pony mare with blue eyes and long silver and grey striped mane. She had a refined look and posture but her accent said otherwise. Starlight smiled at the mare and said, "Sure am. I'm old enough that this isn't my first rodeo."

The mare grinned. "Well then, it's nice to have a mare of more refined tastes rather than the smut i have to deal with usually." she said back looking at the rest of the crowd in disgust. "These young ponies are too wild for their own good. Look." she said with a nod to the corner.

Starlight looked over and indeed saw the source of the mare strife. Two ponies, a mare and stallion, were busy making a foal in teh corner of the establishment along with a few other ponies. It was like a massive gathering of smut all condensed in a small bar area. Starlight looked way in disgust herself but found herself slightly aroused by the sight. Some of those stallions looked very fit, even some of the mares caught her eye.

But she herself was not into getting dirty in a bar. She had more social tact than that. She didn't feel sorry for these ponies who were o doubt on their way to an unhappy life for a few moments of physical pleasure. It made her sick to think that society had spiraled so far down, she was thankful she wasn't like that.

She then heard the clanking of her shot glass and turned back to face the silver mare. Taking the glass in her hoof she raised it to her and in one gulp downed the shot hitting the glass hard enough to make it clink, on the bar top.

"Oh, I needed that." she said shivering at the roughness of the liquid burning her throat.

"Of course dear. Can I get you a hot meal to go with your drinks?" the silver mare asked.

"Well now, what if I didn't want any food?" Starlight suggested with a wiggle of her brow. "Perhaps we can go, grazing in the fields?"

The mare giggled placing her elbows on the bar top and rested her head on them with a sultry look. "Sweetie, I may be young but I'm not that young. I'm old enough to be your mother I'm sure. Besides," the mare turned and bent over revealing herself to Starlight who took the sight in of her exposed marehood in all its glory.

"Jeez you can't possibly be that old. You're too good looking for to be." The pink mare asked, quickly looked away after a moment earning a smile from the mare. Getting up the mare readjusted her vest and adjusted her tie then set a bottle down on the counter top.

"That's very sweet of you to say, miss?"

"Glimmer. Starlight Glimmer."

The silver mare nodded. "Well then, Miss Glimmer. I'm Platinum and I'll be you r server for this evening." she then looked over to see a stallion waving her down the bar some way. "Please let me know if there's anything I can get you."

"Actually all joking aside I'd like two hay burgers and a side of hay fries please. Oh, and two more shots please." Starlight requested to the mare.

"Of course." Platinum took a note and wrote the order down. "I'll get this in and your order will be out soon. I'll be back Miss Glimmer."

And with that the mare was off and Starlight was left with her empty glass. A light chuckled from her left caught her attention. She turned to see a ivory white unicorn mare with the brightest neo blue mane she'd ever seen adjusting a set of deep magenta glasses sipping a cider of some sort sitting next to her. The mare took a large gulp of her cider and set the mug down on the counter top looking at her.

"Nice work there." she said. "Not everypony gets their name used by Platinum. That means she likes you."

Starlight blushed turning her glass in her hooves. Just then Platinum came back with a second glass taking the old one from her and placed a second one next to it. She even gave Starlight a wink, making her blush intensify much to the white mares amusement.

"See? She likes you." she said chugging her mug until it was empty.

"Oh and what makes you an expert?" Starlight said bemusedly.

"She and I are old friends. Well she's old I'm not. She's like suuupper old-"Thwack!

Starlight jumped in her seat when Platinum, as quick as lightning, came from one end of the bar to her side and smacked the mare aside the head. The force knocked her shades off sides from her eyes showing the deep red eyes beneath. "Quit lying you hooligan!" Platinum huffed indignantly.

"But it's true you are ol-ahhahah! I mean you're a lovely mare and you should not feel ashamed by your age!" the white pony quickly changed her tune covering her head. "I Sorry!" she cried trying to sound cute which made the older mare groan.

"You're lucky Octavia is your manager and a close friend of mine or I'd have thrown you out by now." She turned to Starlight and bowed politely. "I'm sorry for my friend Vinyl Scratch. She forgets social tact sometimes along with her mouths filter."

"It's fine."Starlight said and the grey mare returned to serving drinks.

The pony named Vinyl finally uncovered herself feeling a sense of relief having not been struck again. She then stuck her tongue out at the mare in a childish manner and quickly retracted it when she turned to face her as if expecting it. With a huff the grey mare returned to serving drinks but not before she mutter, 'hooligan' under her breath.

Starlight chuckled at the scene as it unfolded before her. She then drank one of her shots and Vinyl sipped her cider. Starlight liked this mare. She was funny. Maybe it was the drinks talking but she liked how Vinyl held herself, her childish personality reminded her of her long lost friend Sunburst. He was a complete goof but she liked him none the less.

Vinyl was so much like him it was like looking into a mirror. Her thought's were cut short when the unicorn glanced at her and got this silly grin before winking at her. Starlight blushed again and turned away, scolding herself for staring at her, but the white mare scooted closer and leaned onto Starlight's should resting her chin on it. Her breath was warm and breathe down her neck making the pink pony shiver.

"You liked that huh?" Vinyl said taking her hooves and rubbed Starlight's thighs.

The mare sighed feeling warm inside. She never felt such a desire for another mares touch but this pony, Vinyl, she had a magic touch, and all Starlight could do was nod dumbly at the mares words.

"Heh, I knew you'd like it." She said whispering into her victims ear. "Why don't you finish eating and we can go tom my place and perhaps, go grazing in the fields?"

Starlight's eyes went wide at the implication. She tried to say something but was stopped by Platinum's voice yelling across the bar as a empty mug collided with Vinyls face.

"VINYL BRASS MELODY SCRATCH! You stop molesting my customers this instant!"

"Oh would you look at the time! Well gotta run and do my thing!" the mare said replacing her shades. "Think about my offer, kay? Later doll!"

And then just as quickly as she came she was gone in a flash leaving Starlight panting and feeling slightly embarrassed from her bodies response to Vinyls touch. She felt many things at the moment. Hot, sweaty, entranced, violated. Many things ran through her head at this moment and she couldn't make any sense of it. Why was she feeling this way?

Perhaps she was under some spell cast by the mare? Perhaps it was the drinks? Was she under the influence? She was sure she wasn't, but at the same time she felt like she needed to see her again. A burning desire to see those red eyes again and that silly stupid grin. Even though Platinum was standing there apologizing to her, Starlight didn't hear a word she said. Instead she thought only about the white mare she just met, but the aroma off her food drew her in and like a zombie clinging to any source of nourishment she turned to eat and after a brief look at her hay fries she thought about Vinyl's offer, 'Perhaps we can go, grazing in the fields?'

Once more she blush shoving the fries away and devoured her hayburger in three loud chomps, followed quickly by her final drink. She slapped the glass on the table and stood up getting Platinum's attention.

"My bill please!"

After paying her bill Starlight thanked the grey mare for her time and was out the door in ten seconds. She stormed past several ponies and marched briskly to the edge of town where the lake was. She went over the bridge that had a small river flowing under it that lead straight to the lake and followed the river up stream. Once she climbed over a large grass hill she found Ponyville Lake.

It was a large lake with hills around every side of it. A small pagoda at one edge of the lake with lily pads and white bottle shaped flowers around it with a series of stones all around it. The moon shined over the lake reflecting its beauty over the calm crystal clear surface. There was no wind so the water lay still like glass. It was so serene that Starlight was sure it was a dream. That is until she saw a white spot in the water floating next to a group of rocks.

She climbed down the hill and upon closer inspection of the white blob she saw it was actually a pony laying in there with her back in the water , floating around the flowers. It wasn't until she was close enough to touch the pony she realized it was Vinyl Scratch. The mare was lazily floating in the water in place with her shades on her dry chest and looked like she was sleeping. Starlight touched the water but shivered at the cold sensation that greeted her and quickly pulled it back out.

The disturbance echoed in the water and rang in the white mares ears awaking her. She sighed leaning upright as the water dripped off her coat disrupting the serene peace of the lake that spanned outwards. She turned to find Starlight staring at her as the water dripped off her she gave the mare a suggestive look covering herself.

"Hey doll. Like what you see?"

Once again Starlight shook her head before passing out on the floor with a dull thud. Before she blacked out she saw Vinyl's white figure hurry towards her and felt warmth envelop her followed by the sensation of floating. Then darkness over came her as she slipped into unconsciousness.
