Load Full StoryNext Chapter

Timidthy, French Press, Sweet Dreams and Bumper had decided. They wanted to finally try cider! So they had gotten up early so they'd be at the front of the line to get some. They all waited until they heard Apple Bloom place the barrel full of cider on the stand to pull out their bits. Apple Bloom looked down and her face turned to concern,
"Umm.....Apple Jack?" said Apple Bloom, Apple Jack came over and stared at the quad of friends. Apple Jack shook her head and motioned kids out of line.
"Y'all do realize what's in cider right?" she said in a hushed voice, the kid's raised an eyebrow.
"Listen y'all can't--" Apple Jack was cut off when she heard the crowd get a bit noisy. Apple Jack sighed,
"Go to Twilight, she'll explain." said Apple Jack as she trotted back to her stand. Timidthy, Bumper, Sweet Dreams, and French Press looked confused. But did as they we're told and made their way to Twilight's.

Twilight was met with the curious gaze of two fillies and colts as they knocked on her room door. Finally Timidthy asked,
"What's wrong with us having cider?" Twilight's face immediately went into a confused state. 'I thought for sure their parents explained to them why having cider isn't the best idea.' Twilight sighed and said,
"Well the reason my you guy's can't have cider is because theirs a certain substance in it. That causes ponies especially ponies under age. To--" Twilight was cut off when she heard Spike cry for help. She sighed and told the kid's to go to Starlight for an explanation.
The kid's went to Starlight like Twilight had said and knocked on her door. Starlight didn't answer. The kid's decided to go inside to see if Starlight was asleep or something. When Timidthy, Bumper, Sweet Dreams, and French Press went into the room. There was nothing out-of-ordinary except a note on Starlight's bed. Timidthy levitated the note over and read it out loud,

' Dear to who this may concern,
If I'm not here that means I'm in line for cider season I'll be back when Apple Jack runs out of cider.

From, Starlight'

Timidthy sighed and sat on Starlight's bed, they would never figure out the answer! Bumper the growled and said,
"Well forget this! We wanted to get some cider and if the adults are gonna act wired just because we want some then let them!" Bumper then lit up his horn and over eight mugs filled with cider appeared in front of him. Timidthy, Sweet Dreams, and French Press. Sweet Dreams picked up and held the mug with uncertainty. While Timidthy stared at the liker with fear as he levitated his mug to him. French Press grabbed it and Bumper didn't wait as he started to guzzle his mug down. French Press followed while Timidthy and Sweet Dreams took small gulps and sips. And as the kid's went to their second mug. Their conscious slowly drifted further into their now intoxicated mind.


The sun had set and Starlight had successfully managed to get a mug of cider. Starlight walked down the hallways of Twilight's castle. And was surprised to realize that her door was open. 'Wiered I thought I had shut the door.' Starlight thought as she walked into her room and her jaw almost dropped to the floor when she saw her room. Everything in her room. (Including the bed and it's sheets) we're either ripped, teared, broken, or covered in cider. Starlight counted and saw their we're fifteen cider mugs on the floor and two on the bed. Some of the cider mugs looked as of not all the contests we're drunk and had been tossed on the floor. Finally she heard a small moan, it sounded like the voice was in pain. As Starlight made her way towards the voice she saw a couple of strands of yellow hair underneath her desk. Starlight used her horn the light up who ever was underneath and she paled. It was French Press, she herself was pale and her yellow freckled cheeks we're a deep crimson red. She was clutching her stomach. And Starlight could swear she saw tears in French Press's eye's. Starlight's magic wrapped around French Press who was still in too much pain to notice. She then wrapped the filly up in one of the sheets on her bed that hadn't been destroyed. Starlight was scared and worried she had a sinking feeling she knew what had happened.

Starlight had called the mane six and the Cmc to figure out French Press's side of the story.
"A-And then B-Bumper he teleported some ci-cider cups in front of us and we drank some." said French Press hiccuping with slurred speech. Everypony looked horrified,
"Wait I told you to go to Starlight!" said Twilight,

"Actually I was at Sweet Apple Acres getting some cider." said Starlight bashfully.
"YOU told HER to tell them why they couldn't have cider! I told them to go to you!" said Apple Jack, Twilight smiled nervously. French Press's face twisted into a look of confusion.
"W-Wait......we're not allowed to have....cider?" said French Press, everypony looked at French Press as they all shared guilty glances.
"No! And we should have told you in the first place. So do you remember what happened to the other's, do you know where they went?" said Rainbow calmly, French Press thought her mind was barely at a snail's pace with the cider in her system. "Um......Oh! Oh I got it!" said French Press, Rainbow looked like she was ready to explode.
"And.....their where?" said Twilight hoping French Press wouldn't forget again.
"B-Bumper he said something about going to......to Sweet Apple Acres for more cider." Everypony then ran out the door hoping they werent too late. Spike was the only one left. Finally French Press said,
"C-Can I have some aspirin?"
