Load Full StoryNext ChapterAfter quickly realizing that most of his items were already brought, Anon started to head home. Usually he buys from the apple family with some general sellers here and there, but the fresh crops are late this year, so he needs to wait for them. While he focused on making his way into the main road leading to his home, Anon was quickly interrupted by a sudden wind. After a quick glance at the Ponyville sky, he realized that pegasi were preparing for the evening rain. For Anon, that already was not something unusual. The summer weather tends to cause great heat, which is making flora less resistant and thus generating less food. This also meant that Anon was forced to take off his shirt inside his house to not overheat on the hotter days.
“Oh, rain. Great... It will cool things down a bit at least.” He said, while stepping a bit faster to not get wet in the process as the small droplets started to fly down.
Making his way into his home from a shopping trip, Anonymous was stopped briefly by a mailman, well in this case mail-mare. He quickly took letters addressed to him, and thanked the mare before coming inside to avoid the rain. Unfortunately for the mare, other letters were needed to be delivered today. Which made her unhappy in the process.
Anon now stood in the living room that consisted of a large brown sofa with a colorful rug in the middle of the room. A small TV with some movies stacked on it. And of course Anon's favorite place in the house, the kitchen. After coming to the kitchen, Anon put the groceries in the fridge and into the counter. He does not fill the refrigerator to the brim, due to him eating a lot outside, in Ponyville. But in weather like this one, some food stock is mandatory.
“Well now, let's see what this is. I paid my bills yesterday, so I have no idea what this might be.” Anon said while holding a knife to open up the letter.
In the latter, Anon found a note with one golden ticket to something called: The Grand Galloping Gala.
The note said:
“Dear Anonymous.
A Grand Galloping Gala is to be held in the magnificent capital city of Canterlot, on the 21st day of this month. The Ticket entitles you to one additional accompanying person. If you wish to attend with one. Gala attire is obligatory, the main event starts at midnight. It is with great joy that we hope to meet you at this ceremony.
Princess Celestia.”
After reading it out loud, he then spotted the second note which read:
“Dear Anonymous. I hope to see you there this year, please take my full apology for not inviting you the previous year. I hope you can understand that we were not informed that you weren't on the invitation list after your coming to equestria earlier in the year. Only after a Gala, I had fully understood that you're simply not invited. My deepest apologies.
Princess Celestia.”
“Well... I never even heard about it, so... No problem, I guess?” He grinned while holding the letter.
It means that Anon needs to go shopping for a “Gala attire” now. Considering that nothing happens, he should still have some time before the event. It is still very rare to send invitations this late. But maybe something else happened. Well, it’s not his job to worry about that. He did not even remember when was the last time he was invited to something like this, never after coming here last year, that is. He assumed that this is a very rare event that takes place once or twice a year.
Suddenly, a knocking interrupted his thought process. Anon swiftly went to see who might visit him in this weather. As he pulled the door open, he saw the purple Princess Of Friendship standing on his front yard, shielding herself with a magic bubble to not get wet.
“Twilight? What are you doing here? I thought you were in Canterlot at this time of the month.” Anon said while signaling with his hand to invite herself over.
“Oh, I just wanted to visit you and see what you have been up to.” Twilight said while entering the house.
“Did you get an invitation? I’m really sorry that we sent it this late, but we were not sure about... Well...” Twilight spoke while stepping a little back.
“Wait, please let me make us some tea. I rarely get to talk to anypony these days.” Anonymous said while inviting her to sit.
After some time, Anonymous came back with two cups of sweet chamomile tea. While he was setting up everything on the table, he could sense that Twilight actually is here to talk about something important. Maybe the gala ticket was not meant for him after all? Or Twilight did not want to actually see him there, things were getting interesting every second.
“So. What is going on?” Anon said while smugly sipping his tea.
“Nothing wrong, just you know, I wanted to clarify something... It’s just that the topic may be a little personal...” Twilight explained, trying to cool things down a bit.
“I’m listening.” Anon grinned.
“Okay. Let me start with this... Remember when a month ago you, Spike and Shining went drinking together?” Twilight asked calmly.
“Oh, I see what you meant when you said ‘personal’ topic.” Anon suddenly started to feel much worse.
“Anonymous, I’m not trying to ask you personal questions about what exactly happened. The word was out, and you know what they say. I just wanted to clarify that you remember that.” Twilight shortly said while holding the cup.
“No, that is alright, you can ask whatever you want. It’s not that I will not admit what I did that night.” Anon said while trying to maintain eye contact.
“Alright... Well, from what I heard. And I do not say I fully believe it, but you went drinking with Spike and Shining-” Twilight began simply to be shut down by sudden explanation.
“Spike did not drink anything. I never gave him alcohol!” Anon exclaimed while training to not look guilty.
“Em... Okay, just to clarify. Spike drank two whiskey shots with cola. But that's not wh-” Twilight shrugged before Anon spoke again.
“That little rat! I told him to not say anything! We agreed! I'm never drinking again with him!” Anon angrily spoke.
“Anon... Focus, I’m not here to talk about that. Spike did drink a bit before, and it’s nothing you should worry about, he is old enough.” Twilight explained while trying to calm Anon down.
“Oh... Well, sorry then.” Anonymous said quietly. While sipping the tea.
“Let’s get back on the topic at hoof. You were drinking with them, and after some time you separated, Spike went with Shining. And you went to buy something. Is that right?” Twilight asked
Anon simply nodded.
“Do you remember where you went?” Twilight asked again.
“Nope, I do not remember anything after my 7th shot.” Anon answered.
“Alright. And from what I heard, you, well...” Twilight started before taking a second to continue. “You were picked up by three mares, went to the hotel, and I quote one of the reception stuff: Went on a ‘sex-rampage’ adding more than three more ponies to the orgy, which lasted around 6 hours, to be last seen in the morning, drinking coffee directly from the dispenser.” Twilight said while looking deeply into Anon's embarrassed face.
“That seems about right... I do not remember it but from what I heard that happened. The last thing I saw was the train station. But that was when I got sober again.” Anon said while finishing his tea and still not making eye contact.
Then Twilight alongside Anon, just simply sits in silence for a good few seconds. Then Twilight broke the silence by starting the conversation again.
“Anon. I do not want to offend you or anything, but can you tell if you actually ‘can’ control yourself. I do not mean you can’t, but you know... Furthermore, I never heard anypony getting this much drunk and not passing out, and the sheer amount of stamina to keep somepony from Canterlot into Ponyville in that state.” Twilight explained.
“I understand. I’m sorry that this happened, I really am. And please do not think of me as some psycho animal who can actually hurt anypony. When I get drunk, I’m just a different person and your alcohol is much stronger than the one I had on Earth, so I get pretty fucked up very quickly. And I do get more, you know. Relaxed.” Anon answered.
“I’m just... Well, worried that you might get hurt in the process. That’s why I ordered to send the invitation to you at the last second because I could not figure out if you were going to do something like that again. And that’s why I was neglecting the well... ‘talk’ with you.” Twilight said while finishing her tea as well.
“Twilight. I will not embarrass you at the party. I promise. Not only that, but I know this party must be important to you. You are trying your best to learn how to rule alongside Celestia and Luna, so I know that you are just trying to have a great time at the Gala. You helped me get settled and everything. I owe you.” Anon explained.
“Anonymous, you won’t embarrass anypony, I know that. You are a good person. There’s just one more thing I wanted to clarify...” Twilight began explaining. “The heat season started one week ago. And many Stallions who are single suddenly reject invitations, they worry they might get a mare pregnant or something considering there will be more than two hundred guests. I do not know how humans work. But should I be worried about you getting ‘out of control’?” Twilight asked while trying to not lose her temper.
“I personally do not feel anything, nor do I see or smell as the season starts. I promise to not get carried away. I won’t even drink. I promise.” Anonymous tried to clarify his intentions.
“You do not notice anything right now? When does the season start for Humans?” Twilight asked, confused.
“For us, the ‘season’ is all year. We do not have a strict time when we can bear children. We are adaptive. ” Anon explained.
“Interesting... I need to free myself an evening after the Gala to talk about your civilization more. I’m sure we will talk about it at the Gala itself, hopefully...” Twilight said while trying to not note that right now.
“Anytime you want, Twi.” Anon said while smiling.
“I need to go back, but I really hope to see you at the Grand Galloping Gala later this week.” Twilight started before she started walking to the door.
“I also hope to see you there.” Anon answered. Before saying goodbye to Twilight and letting her out. The weather calmed down, so now Princess Twilight can go back dry, well ‘mostly’ dry...
“I sure hope nothing embarrassing will happen at the gala...” Anon said to himself after Twilight had already left.
