That moment you realize you're awake.

We stepped off the stage. Applause following the end of the show and us stepping down. I had fake blood splattered across my face. Celestia still wore the also blood stained nurse's outfit she had put on halfway through the act. I went from the side of the stage, down three steps on that side and went from the stage exit to the bar in a matter of seconds. Princess Celestia followed.

"Hey bro, good performance. Uhhh....you got a little....blood on your faces and outfits." He said.

"It's not actually blood, for the record, that would just be creepy. Actually this is fake blood, bought it from a joke store. Anything special tonight?" I asked.

"Yeah. We got this new drink called a Cherry Bomb" The bartender said.

"Get me a bottle or glass or mug, whatever it comes in." I said.

The bartender turned and scanned the bottles on the shelves behind him and then took a large red one and set it right between Celestia and I. He then brought two shot glasses.

He opened the bottle for us. I levitated it before my nose and sniffed. It smelled normal. I put it up to my lips and cocked my head and the bottle back.  I took several large gulps of the red liquid before the bartender stopped me.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" The bartender said "That stuff is crazy strong. Hint: the BOMB part of it's name!"

"Ehhhhh..not back taste wise, but that stuff is anything but.........." I stopped unable to speak. It felt as if my brain had just been shot with a cannon. "Woooooow! That is a kick..." I said feeling a buzz in my brain.

"Jeez, you must have an iron liver. Most ponies can only take a sip of it and then start falling over and vomiting." The bartender said.

"Let me try it." Celestia said taking the bottle from me. She put it to her lips and took a lighter sip than I did. Seh immediately stopped and nearly dropped the bottle.

"That is quite strong." She said.

The next day.

"Urrrrrrgggggggggggg" I groaned as my eyes opened. "Where in the crab apples am I?"

"SILENCE! Pleassssseee....." Celestia groaned next to me on the damp bed. "I rose the sun already, now I just want to sleep...."

it took my brain a few minutes to comprehend what kind of excruciating pain was soaring through it. When it finally did, I let out an agonized groan. The bedroom was a mess. The sheets on the bed where halfway off the bed, the pillows were on the floor. One of the bookshelves had fallen forward, dumping most of the books on to the floor with the pillows. Empty bottles of those 'Cherry bombs' were everywhere, in the bed with me and Celestia, on the floor with the books and pillows, and even a few on the remaining bookshelves. Celestia had her head dangling off part of the bed so she could throw up into a trash can that had been moved to the side of the bed.

Celestia started coughing and then there was a series of wheezes and a few disturbing wet splats as vomit filled the trash can. Celestia rolled over and looked at me with a hungover half asleep look and tried to kiss me.

Sadly I didn't want that at all. I mean she had just thrown up!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa....you just threw up!" I rasped through a dry burning throat.

"Oh come on.....I threw up last night and you still kissed me." She groaned unhappily.

There was a knock at the bedroom door. Which on our side had a lipstick print on it and several globs of what appeared to be peanut butter. I looked around an found that the peanut butter tube was on the balcony, resting on the concrete railing.

Upon hearing the knock I called out "Come in!".

Princess Luna opened the door and stepped in. Her eyes widened upon seeing the mess.

"The maid wasn't lieing.....you did party hard last night." Luna said looking over the room.

"What is it, sister?" Celestia asked groggily.

"I was hoping to help you with your wedding plans." She said.

Celestia and I were both caught by surprise. "Wha-what?" she asked.

"You said once you wake up to help you with your wedding plans." Luna said confused as to why Celestia was confused.

"What? What are you talking about?" Celestia asked.

I felt an itch on my forehead, and I went to use my hoof to scratch it. The itch was right beneath my horn. As I went to scratch it, I felt something move on my horn. It felt like colt metal. I used magic to get it off my horn. It was a circular, left a warm spot on my hoof, and from the feel of it (Yes unicorns can feel things through magic) it had some sort of engraving on it.

I got it off my horn and then flew it in front of my eyes. It was a golden ring, it had very small words on it. I had to squint to read it, but after a few seconds of squinting I was able to read it.

Property.....of.......Princess..........Celestia.

I read it aloud for the Princesses to hear.

"Property of Princess Celestia?" I said with a tone of questioning.

"What?" Celestia asked leaning over and looking at the ring. I looked up at her horn and saw a ring. "You've got one too."

Celestia removed the ring from her horn. She read the inscription on it aloud.

"Property of Seethe Master." She said slowly as she read it.

"You two seem....confused." Luna stated.

"We seem it? Eh? Brilliant observation.....we are!" I said my hangover still screwing with my mind.

Thinking back on it. I might have been a little mean to Luna then. She gave me a slightly hurt look. "You don't remember it? You two came back to the castle last night, both of you had those rings. Seethe, you were excited, you were saying something about how you proposed to my sister. Celestia, you were  actually crying what you said were tears of joy. I think.....from the sounds of it.....Seethe, you proposed...in public."

I accidentally let out a surprise fart.

Luna let out a small surprised yelp and farted too.

Celestia farted too.

Both Princesses blushed.

I stopped breathing through my nose.

I always knew yawns could have chain reactions.

But I never knew that farts could have chain reactions. Ever since, I've wondered if burps could do the same.

At that very moment, I felt an earlier form of anxiety, that used to overcome me when in the presence of Celestia, return. It returned....stronger than ever. And then....I snapped.
