Welcome to the Applewood Ball!

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It was the night everypony has anticipated: The Applewood Ball! Meadow and Sweet-Song we’re both vary excited. Meadow was dressed up as a parisprite as her coltfriend was dressing as a one pony band. While Sweet-Song was dressed as a teenager wearing a jacket with fake bloody butcher knife in it. She made her hair look as messy as possible while she had put talcum power all over herself to make her look pale.

Once they we’re done they waited for Star-Studded to show up. But as they waited Sweet-Song had vibrant blush on her face as she jumped around the room in excitement.

“My first date! I’m so excited….and nervous! What if something goes wrong?” She said her mood quickly changing as she stopped in place and her legs shook. Meadow giggled,

“You remind me on my first date.” She said. Sweet-Song blushed as she looked both eagerly and fearfully at the door.

“I can’t help it! What if ponies disapprove of us? What if our disguises are ripped off? Are we doing to dance together?” She said pacing non stop across the room floor, Meadow rolled her eyes as she shook her head. Suddenly a knock came from the door and Sweet-Song got in a fetal position on the ground. Meadow opened the door and Blood Bones walked in just as promised the red alicorn was dressed as a one pony band.

“Where is Sweet Dreams and the others?” Meadow asked;

“Their parents said no they didn’t want them going to a huge adult party by their selves. And my brother decided that if Sweet Dreams couldn’t go then he wouldn’t go. Even if it made a part of him die inside for not going.” Blood Bones said.

“Have to give him one thing. That’s very noble.” Meadow said; Blood Bones nodded. As he caught a glimpse of Sweet-Song huddled on the floor.

“She’s handling it better then I expected.” He said, Meadow chuckled.

“I think this is the most emotions she’s felt this week.” She said; but suddenly the two heard hoofsteps just as the lights in their room went out. Blood Bones and Meadow huddled next to Sweet-Song who was beginning to shake as well. Suddenly giggling was heard and a clown dressed mare jumped out of the darkness holding a chainsaw ad she said.

“HERE’S OVATION!” Blood Bones, Meadow, and Sweet-Song screamed. Star-Studded turned the lights back on and giggled as she helped the three up. And as the lights shone on her as it was revealed that she was specifically dressed exactly as the clown from the movie: IT. Star-Studded didn’t hesitate as she pulled Sweet-Song into a kiss. The shorter mare blushed vibrantly as she melted into the kiss.

Meadow looked away while Blood Bones let out a small.

“Daww.” Finally the two released and Sweet-Song’s hooves shook as she almost passed out. Star-Studded quickly got her onto her hooves.

“Now breathe Sweety.” She said; Sweet-Song leaned on her shoulder trying to get her legs to behave properly. Once she was sure she could move; Sweet-Song walked next to Star-Studded. The two holding hooves while Blood Bones and Meadow walked after. When the group got to the ball the place was lit only with candle lit chandeliers. Giving it a elegant yet eerie vibe, the walls we’re painted a pure gold.

With posters of movies and various movie characters on them. The floor was made of marble as it shined a brilliant plum. Ponies in various costumes we’re at the party as tables of food, snacks, and drinks we’re layed out. A big stage sat at the end of the ball room as music blared from loud speakers. Sweet-Song covered her ears at all the noise while Blood Bones and Meadow trotted off to explore.

Star-Studded giggled at the two's curiosity, she then pulled Sweet-Song along as she started to get use to the noise. She started to look around noticing that not only was their movie stars, actors, directors, script writers, but also fans and worse yet paparazzi. Sweet-Song gulped,

“Star are you really sure that this is a good idea? There are a lot of paparazzi here.” She whispered. Star-Studded smiled seemingly almost blissfully unaware of the paparazzi.

“Why do you think we wear costumes. Us stars are always getting mobbed by them. It hides our identity not to mention since it’s done every year. We don’t run out if costumes to wear!” She said, Sweet-Song only looked slightly convinced.

“Okay….” She muttered, Star-Studded looked at her; her eye’s gleaming with concern.

“If you really don’t like all the ponies. We can out to a move out to a quiet place.” She said;

“I’d like that.” Sweet-Song said. And after the two grabbed some very sweet strawberry lemonades. They moved to a less occupied part of the ball.

Once they we’re alone Sweet-Song slowly started to open up a little.

“Um…..thanks for taking me along to the ball and everything. Even if I don’t like all the ponies.” She said, Star-Studded giggled.

“It’s fine. All I wanted to do was spend time with you anyway.” She said with a slight blush,

“Well thanks….by the way you can be really scary when you want to.” Sweet-Song said finding herself giggling.

“Aww! Thanks! But really it’s nothing but I have to admit I was worried I had scared you to death.” Star-Studded said; Sweet-Song looked around. And cuddled up next to Star-Studded; the taller mare blushed. Looking around nervously as well;

“Your so cute even with a costume of a dying character on it.” She whispered. Sweet-Song smiled as she nuzzled the side of her face on Star-Studded's chest. Once she pulled back, her taller marefriend giggled.

“You better watch the nuzzling. You don’t want to wipe all your powder off.” She said, and Sweet-Song smiled sheepish. Suddenly thought Star-Studded got a marvelous idea as she thought of the stage. She then smiled confidently as she said:

“Hey Sweety have ya ever heard me sing?”
