Songs of Sorrows

"Oh yeah... I remember now, I took that Rainbow Drink didn't I?" Trebass finally remembered how he had come to be unconscious.

The pub door creaked as a black pegasus with a black and red mane entered. Trebass recognized the pegasus as Alexander, one of his few friends. The white unicorn placed his cup down and waved to his pegasus friend. Alexander returned the gesture and sat down beside Trebass.

"Finally got away from the paparazzi. It's not easy being a celebrity don't you know?" Alexander attempted to make conversation with Trebass, but the unicorn simply sighed and took another sip of his apple cider.

"Whats got you down pal?" Alexander asked once again.

Trebass explained his predicament to his friend. The money, the blond mare and the apartment were all gone.

Alexander sympathized with him as they both ordered a drink together. Thirty minutes passed as the glasses stacked up on each other. Suddenly, Trebass' ears perked up as the the tan earth pony asked the bartender for a rainbow drink.

"Are you sure about that hun? These rainbow drinks are pretty strong, they're supposed to knock you out in 10 seconds flat." Berry asked worringly.

The tan pony nodded, "I want to see if they're as good as the drinks in Las Haygas." She spoke with a tender voice.

Trebass and Alex watched the tan pony while they both sipped their drinks.

The blue pegasus spoke up, "Just be careful okay? Those rainbow drinks can knock even me out you know?"

The tan pony blushed and giggled as she leaned on the blue pegasus' wing.

Trebass bit into his cup with so much rage that the cider began to leak from the hole he had made.

Alexander turned to Trebass and chuckled, "Easy there tiger, I'm sure they're just friends."

The angry unicorn gripped his cup tightly, "They don't look like friends to me." He sneered sarcastically.

Alexander could easily read Trebass' emotions, and Trebass didn't like it. The tan pony began to take a small sip, but she stopped as her eye drifted towards Trebass. Their eyes met again, and like before, it felt like time had stopped. But she started to giggle again. Alexander nudged Trebass and told him to look down. The white unicorn jumped, as he noticed that the cider had spilt onto his vest. Embarrassed, he rushed to the bathroom to get cleaned up.

Alexander entered the bathroom, only to find Trebass trying to dry his vest with a paper towel.

"Damn it! Why am I so stupid?!" Trebass shouted at himself.

Alexander simply stood there, still drinking his cider. Minutes passed, but the cider-stained vest was dried. The two colts exited the bathroom. Neither of them had expected the scene outside. The tan pony was on the floor, unconcious. Berry Punch was on the phone, and the blue pegasus was cradling the unconcious pony in his hooves.

Trebass was both worried and enraged at the same time, his mixed emotions did not stop him from rushing over to the two ponies on the floor.

"What happened? Is she okay?" Trebass pestered the blue pegasus with questions.

The blue pegasus explained that the tan pony took too much of the rainbow drink and fell unconcious, and that Berry Punch was already calling an ambulence. Trebass sighed in relief to know that she was alright.

The blue pegasus introduced himself as Shock Bolt, a weather pony that lived in Cloudsdale but moved to Ponyville.

"I'm Alexander, you may know me from the Canterlot Symphony." The black pegasus explained.

Trebass remained silent, not wanting to reveal himself just yet. Everypony went quiet, but the silence was finally broken by the sound of sirens outside the pub.
