A Twilighted Darkness

  Twilight's previous night of sleep got to her a lot. So the next morning when she woke up, she actually woke up late. Then again, it was kinda stupid of her to think she wouldn't get less sleep than normal, only to wake up early... early... Twilight gasped. She suddenly realized she was late waking up. She hated waking up late, especially on mornings when she had a lot of things to do that day. She rushed downstairs to start her list.

  "Oh crap! Spike, we're late!" yelled Twilight.

  "What'd ya mean?" said Spike, in a maid looking outfit.

  "What do I mean?! Spike, we woke up late and now we're behind on everything!!"

  "No Twi, I got everything taken care of. I got the castle cleaned, I cooked breakfast, I even convinced Moondancer to help with the chores!"

  Twilight was confused, but then a small realization came to her. "Oh right, you said last night that today was special for me! So what, am I gonna be a lazy plot today while you do my stuff?"

  Spike laughed. "No silly! I got all your chores taken care of, so you can get gifts from your friends! Speaking of which..."

  Rarity opened the door. "Hello darling! Are you ready for your life changing best day ever?"

  "I guess, what's in store for me?" replied a confused Twilight.

  "AJ got you a country looking hat, RD and Pinkie are planning you a special party. As for me, well, let's just say I'm gonna give you a glimpse of your new life!"

  "Huh?" Twilight was teleported to the spa.

  "Lotus, Aloe, give the princess a good mane styling, and other things while your at it."

  The two sisters nodded, while Twilight was just confused.

.....

  "All done princess! Take ze look!"

  Twilight was stunned to see the mare in the mirror.

  She... looked beautiful. Her mane was made slightly longer, with curls at the end, and it sparkled like Luna's. Her eyes were underlined with dark blue eyeliner. Her legs looked leaner, and she felt more confident. "I.. I... I look gorgeous!"

  "And that's not all dear!" said Rarity as she rushed Twilight to Carousal Boutique.

  Twilight got another chance to look at herself, and she had been outfitted with jewel shoes and a plain dress with sparkles on it. "I remember this! This was when I had my first birthday with you guys! But this..."

  Rarity explained, "I made it more special by adding sparkles to it. Like it?"

  Twilight was stunned. "Like it?! I love it!!" She gave Rarity a big hug, as they walked down to where Pinkie was holding the party.

.....

  "What the..." Twilight was confused to where they had walked down to. It wasn't Sugarcube Corner. Instead, it looked more like a night club for adults.

  "It was Dash's idea," said Rarity. She obviously wasn't pleased with Rainbow Dash's present. Nether less, they entered to find the rest of her friends and Spike sitting there.

  "Hey Twi... WHOA!" said Spike. He swore he saw a Rarity clone for a second.

  "Hey Twilight!" started Pinkie. "Thanks for coming to our 'Happy Special Day Party!' I was gonna hold it at Sugarcube Corner, but Dashie had a better idea of taking you down here to try beer and a cigarette for the first time!"

  Everyone else except for RD exclaimed "What?!"

  Rainbow started. "Duh! You did have your 21st birthday months ago! Now that your 21, your finally legal for all this!"

  "Do I really have to?" said Twilight, worried.

  "Bartender! A glass of your finest Duff beer and a pack of cigars! Do I look like I'm kidding?"

  Fluttershy spoke up. "Um, Rainbow Dash, don't you think that's a bit strong for starters?"

  "I, think I might could handle it." Twilight took a sip of the beer...

  ...and loved it! "Whoa! This is tasty!" said Twilight as she gulped it down. Afterwards, she took a cigarette, lit it, and put it in her mouth, all the while her friends clapped.

  "If Twi can handle it, I reckon so can we!" Exclaimed Applejack. So while everyone chugged their alcohol, Twilight opened her presents.

  Applejack got her a country hat with jewels bedazzled along, Fluttershy gave her a necklace, Pinkie gave her her own party cannon, and Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadance visited with Shining Armor, while Shining wasn't happy with RD for the beer thing. In the end, everyone got drunk, so while the princesses recouperated at Sweet Apple Acres, Shining offered to take Twi and Spike home and sleep with them for the night.

  "Twily, we really gotta lay off on that stuff," said a bubbly Shining Armor.

  "I know, I just got too excited today," said an equally bubbly Twilight. "Well, goodnight BBBFF."

  "Goodnight LSBFF."

.....

  "AAAAH!" screamed Twilight, which startled Shining and Spike.

  "What happened?!" Said Shining.

  "Why am I still having these dreams? And all their doing is getting worse!"

  "Dreams?" asked Spike. "But I thought they would be gone."

  "It might be just dumb luck, but I'll have to wait and see."
