We're all friends here.

"I'm not joking with you fellers, I'm being honest, I've never had one too many ciders recently!"
Applejack pleaded for Twilight to stop using her magic to hover her above the ground.
Rarity responded to AJ's plead.
"You've got a problem, AppleJack, you live in that barn all day with that killing cider, and your actions yesterday were simply horrifying!"
Applejack started giggling to herself.
"Fellers, all I was doing yesterday was encouraging Applebloom to try harder on Ring Fit Adventure for the Nintendo Switch!"
The other weren't taking it.

"Come on, AJ, you were shouting so loud, and it was late at night, and it's cider sea- LOOK JUST ADMIT IT YOU'RE AN ALCOHOLIC!"

A frustrated Twilight confronted Applejack.
"Oh fuck- look she wanted encouragement, I gave her some!"

"It doesn't matter, we're here."
The ponies arrived at the community centre, with close examination Applejack read the notice board.

Wednesday 8:00 - Alcohol Anonymous.

"I'm the element of honesty, did you forget that shit man? Honestly..."
A rough Applejack was placed back down on her hooves, which took her a second to get used to walking again since she was in the air since they left Sweet Apple Acres.

"Alright, throw yourself in there AJ, we'll see you in a hour."
Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie stood outside the old centre, with Twilight giving Applejack a look saying, "Go on."

Applejack looked past the only door that was in front of her, she looked to the left and saw a stage with a few chairs stacked up on each other atop if it. To her left, was a number of chairs in a circle shapes with several ponies surrounding the circumference. A few faces, she recognised, a few faces, she was surprised were there.

"Hey.. AJ, come on in you're not alone bud."
A voice called that came from the circle, that kind of sounded like an old pony she knew.
As she approached the circle, she got a good look at the ponies there. She counted the heads, 8 in total. 2 ponies that she never met before, the group leader, (to AppleJack's surprise) was Princess Luna's, who greeted her with a smile.

She also saw a few other bystanders, Bulk Biceps, Derpy, Spike, Snails and with AppleJack's predictions being right, Rainbow Dash.

She took a seat beside Rainbow Dash, who looked rather stressed, her hooves twitching and her eyes fixed directly on AJ's.

"Alright, don't be afraid, there's no need to worry."
The Princess's words didn't affect Applejack in the slightest. AJ knew she was clean, she just wanted the others to shut up.

"So, Snails, please go on about the time at the Gala."
Applejack leaned back on her seat as she prepared for a long hour.

Snails looked and sounded way different to what he sounded like a few months ago, and he was dressed in all black.
'Fuckin' emo.'
A giddy Applejack thought to herself.

"I mean, like it's not my fault for drinking, like, my mom won't get off my back! It's my life, I can live the way I want! Like, the cider was free for anypony, so like, what's the big deal? It's free!"
The teenage pony let it all out.
"Yeah but you do realise you were held account for 6 murders between the period June 2013 to August 2014 due to your drinking, one of those murdered was your best friend Snips?"
The sarcastic Princess counteracted.

"Yeah well Snips was a wuss, he didn't try the cider I was gonna give him, like, shouldn't I be considered a good pony for doing that shit? Also it was June 2013 to October 2014."

"Yep, I bet that makes a difference, right? Shut your trap. Ok, Bulky, would you mind sharing your story with us?"
The Princess shut the young stallion up, and Rainbow Dash rose up from her seat.

"AHHH BULK BICEPS!!!"
The white stallion screamed at the top of his lungs, and you could see the gas emitting from his mouth that resembled the smell of cider.

"Ahh you fuckin', dude you can't drink here man! You... cock!"
The Princess tried levitating the 'pony' out of the building, but he kept on hesitating and twisting, that Luna couldn't hold him in the air for long, and her magic wore off, although Biceps was hovering over Derpy, and, awww dude, he absolutely crushed her!! Dude it was, ahhh... it's a horrible sight, looking at the replay, it's, oh...

The fall shook Biceps so much, that he was left twitching on the floor, mouth wide open and eyes glaring. Derpy couldn't be seen, so it was safe to say she doesn't have to worry about getting rid of her alcohol addiction.

"Ok, Rainbow, wanna say a few words?"

Rainbow Dash stood up from her seat.
"My- ... My name is Rainbow Dash..."
The pegasus was seen scratching her arm with her opposite hoof furiously and tapping her hoof off the wooden floor.

"And, I'm as clean as a Brony at bronycon..."

Multiple ponies were seen reacting gritting teeth and a few "Oooh...." and "Yeowch...."'s were heard around the circle.
"Yep, I'll admit it. As soon as cider was being sold in the market, I was hooked. I splashed on my bits on it, everyday, I told myself that it's only one pint, but it wasn't, it never was. The wonderbolts kicked me out, I spent any bit of money I scraped off the street on that wretched, horrible cider."
RD started breathing heavily.

Applejack couldn't resist it, she burst out laughing.
"Really? Oh God Damn!"

Applejack slapped her knee.
"You fuckin' drugga..."

Princess Luna chuckled to herself.
"Yeah, you really had it all, then cider came into the steets!"
The Princess also released all the laughter contained inside of her.

"Yeah well fuck you guys!"
Rainbow Dash tried to fly out of the door, but kept on twisting and turning, which caused the 2 ponies to only laugh more."

"Wow, you guys are so mean! You don't accept that she has a problem!"
One of the ponies stood up from her seat and confronted the leader.
"Hahe, we never said she didn't have a problem!"
The two continued laughing their shit off, and Snails, with his arms crossed and hood down, started chuckling along with the 2 girls.

The rest of the ponies left the hall, leaving just Applejack, Princess Luna and Snails.
The laughter died down eventually, and everyone was just kinda sitting there.

Luna sniffled.

"Wanna get shit-faced?"
"Yeah."
