Chapter 1
The small, quiet town of Ponyville was anything but quiet on this night. Tonight was the night of Troy and Canvas's wedding, and the reception was in full swing. The party was set up in the middle of the park for all to join the fun. Lanterns were stringed all around the park to make for a beautiful scenery. The gazebo glowing a nice light blue as it was turned into an open bar. Lights of various colors coming from the stage as the band played for everypony to dance till their hearts content. Everypony seemingly enjoying themselves as they all moved to the beat with smiles on their faces.
Canvas was sharing a dance with the lovely Lyra. Or at least he was trying too. Lyra insisted on teaching him how to dance on two hooves, which just seemed bucking impossible to him. With her support he was able to stand up on two hooves but would fall every time she let go. Although frustrating they both were laughing and having a great time.
Troy was watching his newly wed husband fall again and again with a look of concern. "So where did Lyra come up with this insane form of dance, and why is she so insistent on teaching Canvas it?" Troy asked as he turned to Bon-Bon who was siting next to him at the bar sipping on her drink.
Bon-Bon's face instantly went flat from Troys question. "Nope!" She said as she put her now empty glass down. "We are not going down the rabbit hole known as one of Lyra's crazy obsessions." Bon-Bon quickly shutting down the subject as she got up from her seat.
"But wh..," Troy started to say but was stopped by swift cream colored hoof keeping his beak shut. "No you are not going to chase the rabbit!" Bon-Bon said with a stern look. "Instead you are going to join me on the dance floor, so we can share a proper dance." She removed her hoof from his beak and grabbed his arm as she started to pull him towards the dance floor.
Troy let out the breath he had been holding as he finely gave in to his defeat. "OK fine, just a sec." Troy said as he turned to his Bother Blane who was siting next to him at the bar sipping on his own drink of choice. "Blane would you like to join us?" Troy asked, knowing Blane would not have much fun being left by himself.
Blane shrugged, as he started to put his drink down. "No thanks, I would make a bigger fool of myself than Canvas is at the moment." looking back at the pony in question and making a light chuckle as Canvas fell for the hundredth time. "But I appreciate the offer." Blane responded with slight smile to Troy.
"Alright then. Don't have too much fun." Troy said as he got up from his seat and let Bon-Bon drag him out to the dance floor. Leaving Blane all alone at the bar to his thoughts.
As Troy left, Blane was finally able to turn around and drop the smile that seemed like it took all his will power to keep up. 'What is wrong with me?' Blane started think to himself as he started to take another swig of his drink. 'This was supposed to be a happy day right? I mean of course I happy Troy is finally married. To a great stallion too. Well i guess that means i wont see him as much? Maybe that is why i'm so sad right now?' Blane continued to ponder to himself as he stared at his drink.
'Is 'sad' the right word? 'lonely?' I don't know.' Blane finished his drink, then got the bartender's attention to order another. 'Whatever I just need to find somepony to talk to keep me occupied. But who? Blade just left with Fluttershy in tow, Blaze is on the prowl trying to get lucky, and Lyle has already gone back with mom and dad to their room.' Blane took a sip of his newly poured drink.
'I should just go find Blaze and see if he needs a wing..' Blane's thoughts were abruptly stopped as somepony bumped into him as they walked past, Already not in a good mood, Blane was peeved. "Dude watch where you're going!" Blane said sternley as he turned around to see who the pony with four left hooves was. His eyes opened wide instantly recognizing the turquoise colored unicorn with a gray mane.
"Ohhh my gosh! I'm s-so ssorry." The stallion slurred as he turned around to face Blane. The stallion was wearing a gray dress shirt, with a black vest and a red tie. His cheeks were very rosy from the alcohol he had clearly been drinking. "Blane!" The stallions smile growing exponentially as he saw the griffon he bumped into. "It's been sssooo long sinsh i've seen you!" The stallion happily wobbled over and gave his favorite griffon a hug.
'Wow, Fashion plate is really gone' Thought Blane as he reluctantly hugged the pony back. While in such close proximity, The griffon got a whiff of the pony's alcohol infused breath. 'Jeez hope nopony light a match. What was this dude thinking? he could end up making a seen. I better get him to slow down.'
"It's alright Fashion Plate, come on have a seat, let me get you some water." The griffon help him into the seat next him, than got the bartender's attention and order a glass of water for the pony to help with the dehydration. "You having a good night?"
Fashion nodded excitedly. "I'm having a BLAST!" The pony said a bit too loudly. "That wass the mosht beautiful wedding I have ever sheen! Oh I hope someday I meet ssompony half as good as Troy." The pony's smile suddenly turning to frown. His whole body falling suite, looking like all the pony's energy was just sucked out of him as his head dropped down on the bar.
Blane looked at Fashion with a raised eyebrow. 'What the hell? That was a very drastic change.' "Are you OK? Whats wrong?" The griffon asked without hesitation.
"What?" Fashion picked his head back up and looked at Blane. "Oh... sorry. It's nothing. Just sad thoughts." The pony sighed then took a sip of his water. "Enough about mee. What's going on with you? Why are you here by yourself? Don't you have mares to go pleasure?"
That made Blane chuckle. "Now I know you you must be drunk to think I can get tail that easily."
Fashion Plate stared at Blane with his eyes opened wide with shock. "What are you taking about? You're Blane! The bigesst and sssexiest griffon I know. How can you not get anypony you want? With that strong chest, and thossse big broad shoulderss. I know I wish you were with m..." The pony's face suddenly turned pale. "uh oh." Fashion quickly got off his seat and as fast as he could ran to the nearest trash can.
'Been there, done that.' Blane thought to himself with a slight smirk. 'Well better go make sure he is alright.' Grabbing a couple napkins from the bar, Blane hop off his seat and headed towards the trash can Fashion Plate was currently puking his brains into. Once the pony heaved his last hurl, he accepted the napkin Blane was holding out for him with a quick, "thanks."
"No problem" Blane looked around and saw a couple of ponies looking their way at the scene that just transpired. 'OK time to get Fashion Plate out of here before This gets any worse.' Looking back at the pony, "hey where are you staying tonight? I think it's about time I get you to bed."
Fashion Plate looked at the griffon with a devilish grin, "oh you want to take me to bed? How could I possibly say no to an offer like that!"
Blane looked put-off by that comment. "No you horny unicorn. That is not what I meant. I just want to make sure you get back safely."
"Aww..." Fashion Plate responded with a tear in his eye. "That's so nice of you! But as much as I would love to have you take me to bed, I have a chariot waiting nearby to take me back home."
"That's fine." Blane said. And without warning, the griffon grabbed Fashion Plate and threw him on his back. The pony yelped in surprise as he landed on the giant griffons back. "I hope it's got room for one more though." said Blane, as he started leaving the reception with the pony on his back. "I mean I might as well accompany you back to your place so i can make sure you get home safe." 'That, and it beats drinking alone I guess.'
Fashion plate made a little 'sqee' as he smiled and said, "I would love that! Thank you. Your the bestest!"
And with that, the pair made their way to the chariot waiting for them.
