Nothing is Over
Chapter 5 night on the town
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Wait. Why would ponies throw trash at you and call you names?" Twilight asked. All of them seemed confused and shocked at the fact that Manehatten treated me this way.
"They didn't like that I served for Equestria."
This grabbed their attention. Well except Fluttershy since she knew I was a soldier. "You were apart of the royal guard?" Rarity asks.
"Not the guard. A soldier. That's why I came here, to start over. I hate to ask, but would you know of any place I could work until I get my map shop running again?" Applejack said I could work on her farm for a while." Just stop by the hotel when you wake up, in case I'm not awake; although I've always been an early riser. Even when I was a colt. My mother asked me why I woke up so early, I told her 'more daylight to play in.'"
"Well someponies need their beauty sleep like myself." Rarity chimes in. I was about to say something, when I noticed the noise coming from the speakers. "What is that noise coming from that speaker?" They seemed confused by the sudden change in topic. Never did like to talk about my time in the Berets.
"You mean dubstep? It's Vinyl's favorite." Rainbow asks.
"Is that what that's called. Doesn't this Vinyl have anything good like Chicacolt or Equestrian Lights Orchestra?" They all started to grin. Until Rainbow Dash flew over next to me saying
"Dude, those are such old bands. No pony ever listens to them." I lower my head and reach for a drink. After taking a swallow, I noticed how much it burned going down and how it was missing the sweet alcoholic taste. Looking at the bottle, it read Extreme Hot Sauce.' That's why it burned.' Pinkie looked like she was about to burst into laughter as if she was waiting for my reaction. I didn't have much of a reaction, mostly because of my training and time eating rations that I developed a sort of numbed taste to certain foods, so I just kept drinking it, much to everypony's surprise. Twilight was the first to react. "H-How can you keep drinking that? Pinkie pulled a similar prank when I first got here and I had fire shooting from my mouth!"
"I've had worse." I replied. Glancing at the clock I noticed it was almost 12:30 and everypony was shoveling out. I said good night and stopped by the local bar for a quick drink. I sit at the bar. I said" Hey! Bartender, come down here." He gets down here. He says
"So what you want." I look at him and answer
"One bourbon, one scotch, one beer." I'm sitting now at the bar, I'm getting drunk, feeling mellow. I look down the bar and see the bartender severing a few other customers. I call out "hey bartender, come down here." He comes down here. I ask him what time it was.
"The clock says 1:30, so last call."
I pay for my drinks and head back to the hotel where I fix myself some more drinks while listening to some Music . Don't really remember what happened. The whole night was a blur. All I remember is getting drunk and sluggishly pacing around the room to the music. I don't remember sleeping at all. I also must've punched the mirror because it was shattered and I found blood and broken glass all over my right hoof I must be to drunk to feel it. I look at myself in the broken mirror. My eyes are bloodshot, my mane is even more of a mess then it always is. I woke up sitting on the floor, leaning against my bed with an extreme hangover. A sudden knock on the door partially wakes me.
