That moment you realize you're awake.

Hi, my name is Seethe Master and I am a profession partier and stand up comedian. I get paid sometimes thousands of bits just to perform for an hour. Ponies from all over Equestria love my routines. I never imagined my routine would attract...Royal attention.

So, one night I'm in Canterlot, I got an offer from a nice club for a few thousand bits and just for half an hour! Then I got to party for a bit. The perfect gig. That night I step on stage and look at the audience. I look over audience for any eye candy and who do I see? I see....Princess Celestia! So usually celebrities like it when I get them up on stage in one of my pieces. Photo Finish actually got mad when I didn't bring her up on stage once, I really did not notice her in that audience! So I treated Celestia like any other well know celebrity. I got her up on stage.

What I did is I said.

"Princess Celestia? Whatcha drinkin back there?" I said squinting and raising a hoof above my eyes.

She raised her glass and called up to the stage  "Simple red wine."

"Oh. My favorite don't mind if I do." I said levitating a new refilled glass away from the Princess and up to me on stage.

"Oh my." She said with a slight shock as the glass was taken.

"If you want this back don't want me to drink it, you'll have to come up on stage and take it from me!" I teased.

After that the Princess came up on stage and I began with a quick skit about Royal bathrooms. I remember I started with.

"Do the bathrooms in the castle have like...magical sink with a built in grill?"

After the show though, as the party was starting I was stepping off the stage and I found myself in the presence of Celestia again. Now she asking if I'd stay have a drink with her. Out of politeness I did.  After about 6 or 7 drinks I lose control of myself. You know, alcohol and all, I had about....15 drinks that night with the Princess not far behind. So now after a long night of partying, I found my self waking up hungover beyond comprehension.

The moment I realized I was awake, I instantly felt a throbbing in my head. I didn't want to open my eyes and be awake, but the noon sun was shining and hit my closed eyes. I was forced to open my eyes and see the sun shining in through and open window into whatever dark room I was in. I was awake. Luckily I was in a bed.

"Thank Celestia." I said upon the realization I was in a bed.

"Thank me for what?" Celestia asked coming from a bathroom connected to whatever room I was in.

I sat up in bed. Flabbergasted. My mouth was open but I couldn't find any words to ask the questions on my mind.

"Wha...what are you doing here, Princess?" I asked.

"Oh come on sweetie, there's no reason to say Princess. You can just say Celestia if you like."

"Um...okay....Celestia...what are you doing here?" I said repeating my previous question.

"Well I live here. " Celestia said. These words hit me like a brick.

"What? Where are we?" I asked now confused about where I was, what I had done, and of course how much I'd drank the previous night.

"Your in my personal bedroom, in the castle in Canterlot." Celestia said "are you okay?"

"No, I'm hungover and....my nethers kind of itch." I said.

She giggled. Celestia went to the bed and climbed back in. She cuddled up against me. My heart began to race. My mind began to race for the answer to the question: WHAT DID I DO LAST NIGHT?!

I decided to just ask the question that shot my mind. "What....happened last night? After the show?"

"You don't remember. My, my, it was in my honest opinion: it may have been the best night of my life." Celestia said cuddling even closer to me. Making me even more uncomfortable. Celestia took notice of my unusual breathing.

"Are you alright? You seem nervous."

"This is a new hungover wake up for me. I mean, I've almost grown used to waking up next random mares. This is a new one." I said.

And for the record, I have woken up next to many of my fans in the past. The craziest was a mare in Ponyvile. I woke up, hungover as usual, in some mare's bedroom. Next thing I know, she starts bringing me cupcakes and practically tackling me when I even get out of the bed. For the next few weeks I kept finding pink hairs in my mane.

"There is no need to be nervous around me. You wanted to know about what happened to last night?" Celestia asked.

"Yes. Please!" I begged.

"Okay, okay, it's alright. I'll tell you." Celestia said. "Personally stand up comedy is one of my favorite aspects of comedy. I've seen your shows before however. Last night was not the first time, sometimes when I'm in public I use magic to disguise myself as an alias mare I made up years ago just for my own personal life. Since you were nice enough to bring me up on stage on the one time I don't use my alias, I figured I repay you with the same friendliness. I bought you some drinks. After we were surely drunk, one of us started flirting, and then I escorted you back you here and we passed out on this bed before we took things any further."

"That's it?" I asked.

"That's the shortest version I could concoct."  Celestia said still uncomfortably close to me.

"Well now that's....Oh!" I felt one of Celestia's hooves drift a little too close to my 'nethers'.

"What is it?" Celestia asked drawing her hoof away from me.

"That was a little sudden." I said my heart racing from the sudden excitement.

"I'm sorry. Last night still has me excited." She said "How long are you going to be in Canterlot?"

"I can stay as long as I want now. I self manage my career. I take gigs I want, when I want." I explained.

Celestia nodded "That must be difficult to manage. Do you get offers often?"

"More than often, I get offers just about daily. Usually places try to call me back for more jobs." I said. "It's really not difficult to manage, I used to have a manager to help me, but he retired some time ago."

"May I ask an important question?" Celestia whispered into my ear.

"Sure." I whispered back.
