Darkness and Magic

After the tour around town, Mitchell went back home to find that his two sisters were asleep. Knowing that they wouldn't want to miss the party later that night, he wanted to wake them in his own special way. He didn't know when to go, so he just assumed it was night. He continued watching them sleep until an idea came to mind. He walked into the kitchen, and checked the fridge. There was a lot of whipped cream in it, "Do we really need this much whipped cream?" He then thought about one specific pony, "Pinkie..."

He then took one of the cans of whipped cream, and walked over to his sleeping sisters. A somewhat sinister grin grew on his face as his sisters were sleeping. He shook the can, and went to work. Afterwards, he left his work, and took a nap himself.

-5 hours later-

Mitchell's eyes opened slowly as he saw his sisters standing over him. Both with whipped cream on their faces, "Hey girls, you like my present?"

"We do, and we would like to return the favor!" They both jumped onto Mitchell, and they continued to spray each other with whipped cream.

-30 cans of whipped cream later-

"Ok, I think we've had enough fun," He started whipping the whipped cream off them, and himself until he noticed that the fridge was still full of whipped cream, "I could've swore we went through at least 30 cans of this stuff. Why is it still full?"

Emily walked over, some whipped cream still on her face, and looked inside, "Hey Mitchell, there's a note inside. Well, it's not really a note, more so an arrow," She was right, the piece of paper only had an arrow pointing out the door.

"We should follow it, after we get cleaned up," Mitchell looked at his two sisters who still had whipped cream on their cheeks. He whipped them off with some paper towels on the counter, leaving the two blushing.

"Why are you blushing?"

"I should be asking you that..."

They then said at the same time, "He nearly touched my cheek!" They both looked at each other and chuckled.

"I thought we established that just being his sisters were fine enough."

"Love conquers all is what they say."

"Unless that love is for your sibling."

"Don't I know it. I've had a crush on him for 8 years."

"I've had a crush on him since I was 5. Before we got separated. Why did you think I would want him to sleep next to me all the time."

"I did the same thing, but it's fine when you're young, not when you're my age. Or in your case, 3 years younger than him."

"You're a freshman in high school, right?"

"Yeah."

"I don't think that's weird still. Some siblings still sleep together at that age if they're close enough. When it's someone for my age, that's a little different."

"I see..."

"Are you girls not ready yet? Come on, I don't want to miss this party."

-15 minutes later-

"Wow, their are a lot of time jumps."

"Are you picking up fourth wall breaking from Pinkie?"

"It only depends on how you see it."

"Anyway, are you two finished?"

"Yeah, let's get to this party."

They walked towards each arrow that soon lead to the Sugercube Corner. Inside was extremely dark, as if nopony was inside, "Are you sure it's here?"

"It's where the arrows pointed to," Mitchell tested the door, and it was indeed unlocked, "See, it wouldn't be unlocked if it was closed. Let's head on inside," They saw the stairs that led up to Pinkie's room. Earlier, it was off limits for reasons, "You girls sense that?"

"Yup, they're definitely waiting for us. Come on Mitchell, don't keep the party waiting. Go in!" Mitchell took a deep breath and opened the door. Of course, the room was dark, but he could smell a very distinct cotton candy smell. Actually, the smell was right behind him.

"Pinkie-"

"Surprise!" Not only did Pinkie's party cannon go off behind Mitchell, but his sisters tackled him down with a hug, and the others piled on top of him, "Whoa, what's this?" A banner opened above him saying: Mitchell, the best friend anypony could ask for, and the strongest mage in the universe.

"Wait, what?"

Pinkie replied, "This is for you silly..."

Then Twilight, "With how much we've come to know who you are..."

Then Fluttershy, "And how much you've connected to us..."

Then Rainbow Dash, "We wanted...

Then Apple Jack, "Ta make this party...

And lastly, "Divine!"

"Mitchell, you've been a great friend."

"And a great brother."

"To everypony you've ever met. We wanted you to feel appreciated, along with the rest of Ponyville. So enjoy this Mitchell."

Mitchell could do nothing but smile like a weirdo at everything, "I don't know what to say."

"Don't say anything. Have fun!" Pinkie grabbed Mitchell's arm, and dragged him around her room.

"Pinkie, he has to be introduced to the citizens of Ponyville."

Pinkie stopped in mid air with Mitchell still in her grasp "Oh right. Down you go Mitchell."

"I wasn't even using a levitating spell..."

-Fluttershy's POV-

Alright, Mitchell went off to talk to everypony else, so this will be my time to plan this out properly. I snuck away from the crowd to bring my plan into fruition.

"What are you doing Fluttershy?" I jumped at the sudden voice only to find out that it was Emilia, Mitchell's sister.

"Oh, hi Emilia."

"Trying to get my brother drunk?"

"N-No, o-of course not."

"Fluttershy, Emily and I basically gave you permission to get him drunk. I looked at the wine here in Equestria. They aren't that strong. The wine on Ostracyce is much stronger than Equestria's and Earth's wine combined," She handed me a wine bottle with language I've never seen before, "If you give this to him, he'll be wasted in no time. You might want to wait until the end of the party though, when it dies down. If you do it now, I don't know what he'll do. I've never seen him drunk.

"O-Ok, thanks Emilia."

"No problem," She left me alone with the bottle of wine, and I then hid it so that nopony could find it. This was my chance to spend some alone time with him.

As the party went on, I made sure to pick my moment. I saw him chatting it up with the girls, and for some reason, I felt so angry about it. I don't think this was jealousy because I was... so angry that I would want to kill them. Was I obsessed with Mitchell?

No, that would be crazy. I mean, Mitchell has bought out the most out of me. He's even helped me be a little more assertive without being mean to my friends or strangers. I owe him a lot. I just wish he would at least spend more time with me. When we arrived on Earth, he spent more time with my friends than me. I may be attached to him a little too much. That doesn't matter, the party's almost done.

-Rarity's POV-

What is Fluttershy doing? She looks like a deranged pony right now. Wait, is that a bottle of wine behind her? Just what is this pony trying to do? Wait, she's going to Mitchell. She's trying to get him drunk! For what reason? I need to put a stop to this. Who knows how he is when he's drunk off his mind.

"Here Mitchell, I have some wine, would you like some?"

"Oh wow, this is wine from Ostracyce. I haven't had wine from there in so long. Did my sister get this?"

"Yeah, she said this wine is heavy."

"Yeah, which is exactly why I like it so much. I get so wasted when I drink it," Oh no, he's about to take it, "Wait, I don't want to get drunk in front of you girls. I get weird when I drink wine."

"Weird in what way?"

He paused, does he not want to answer her? Oh don't think I'm eavesdropping on the two, I'm just... actually, yeah, I'm eavesdropping. But what is he going to say, "Weird as in sexually."

Sexually? Oh my, Fluttershy is planning to... not on my watch, "Hello darlings."

"Oh, hey Rares. What's up?" Oh my gosh, his nickname is just amazing. I just get butterflies in my stomach when he says that.

"I'm fine. Oh, what do you have there?"

"It's an awesome wine from Ostracyce. It's extremely strong, but I don't want to drink it because I'm afraid to have what happened to Rarity to happen again."

"Don't worry about me darling. I wouldn't want anything happening to my dear friend Fluttershy."

"Yeah, you're just too innocent Flutters," Guh, her nickname rolls right off the tongue, "This doesn't give you permission to do the same thing again. I just found out you weren't in heat when we did it."

"Um, that's not the point. You should just a drink a little. You wouldn't want to upset 'Flutters' would you?"

"No, I'm going to drink it. Just not at this party."

I took the wine bottle, and poured him a cup, "Come on, not even a sip?"

-Fluttershy's POV-

What is she trying to do? Wait, she's trying to take him for her own. She knew my plan! Well, I'm not going to sit idly by as she does so. Time to get assertive.

"You should Mitchell. If you pass out, I'll be sure to carry you back home."

-Rarity's POV-

She's trying to counter me. Well, not on my watch, "Mitchell, I can carry you with no problem. I can use magic to carry you."

"There's a limit to how much you can pick up though. The max is about 68 kilos, depending on your size. I say yoi carry about 58."

"How much do you weigh? And please say it in Equestrian."

"145, all this extra muscle gives me more mass."

Damn it, he's good. Oh gosh, I did not mean to swear. That was so unladylike of me. Please forgive me. Anyway, I need to find another way to get to him...

-Fluttershy's POV-

I've never picked up anything more than 100 poinds, and neither has Rarity, so this was a good thing for Rarity to ask. Even so, I need to find a way to ask him properly.

He needs to get drunk soon. The party is almost over...

-Emily's POV-

This is getting bad. Watching them attempt to get Mitchell to drink is hard to watch. Let's see if we can help them, "Oh Mitchell!"

He turned towards me as I was waving a small shot glass. If I can convince him to a drinking contest, then he might just do it.

"How about a drinking contest? Me versus you."

He theb stared at me with a 'really face', "You're too young to drink."

No! He pulled the 'I was too young' card!

-Emilia's POV-

This is just sad to watch. Watch this everyone, "Look, I heard this was your favorite brand from Ostracyce. Spring Bear."

"No way, isn't this brand expensive though?"

"Not when your best friend is the maker of it. She gave me a bottle for my trip here, but she forgot that I don't drink. Come on try it. I know it's a little over aged, but you can't tell. H
The only difference is that it'll be really strong. But hey, it's your party, so you can do what you want."

"Hm, yeah, you're right. Alright, give me that shot glass Emily. Let's see how far I can go."

-Fluttershy's, Rarity's and Emily's POV-

WHAT!

-Emilia's POV-

And that's how you do it everyone.
