Chapter One : Too much cider

Chapter One

The Colt looked out of the window and saw her still unconscious. He sighed and shook his head.

''Some ponies defenitly shouldn't drink much cider'', he said to himself while he dragged the unicorn inside his bar. Inside he put her on one of the benches and tried to wake her up. First he just poked her in the side and shook her gently. Since she showed no reaction he started to speak with her.

''Miss?''he shooked her once again.''Miss Twilight'' he said this time louder but she still just lay on the bench without any signs of reaction. Finally he just grabbed a bucket which was behind his counter, filled it with water and poured the water over the lavender unicorn.

''AAAHHH......what in the hey.......!?'' she cried out and jumped up straight after the cold stream of water woke her from her deep sleep. The colt chuckled quietly as he offered he a towel with a wink of his hoof. She took it and dried her face until she could  saw without water in her eyes. Then she realized that she was in the house of a foreign stallion and tried to use her magic just to got a strong

headache immediately. He noticed her attempt and chuckled.

''Easy there. I wouldn't try to use my magic in the next few hours beside you want to lose your awareness''

''Where am I? Who are you? And why the hay im here?'' the lavender unicorn asked.

He looked at her and sighted.''No idea what happned last night Miss Twilight?''

''You know my name?''

''Of course I do after that show you and your friends have played here. But where are my manners.

I am Golden Booze and you are inside the Watering Hole the best bar here in ponyville. You were asleep since last night and I though it would be good to wake you up before some ponies see our librarian deep asleep in front of an bar on the open street'' he explained  the still confused unicorn.

''I think I should thank you for that Sir. What would my friend think of me when Im lie asleep infront of a bar'' she said while she blushed a bit. He laughed and replied '' Oh. Don't worry about your friend I think they have their own problems right now. Especially the farmer and the rainbow pegasus. What I would give if I could see their faces right now'' he said with a smile.

''My friends? Why would they have problems right now?''

''Well they all drank much more than you last night. You where out since the 6 round. I think it ended with 12 or 13.''

''Round? What round? In a race or something like that?''

''Miss Twilight. You are in a bar where we serve cider and booze. What round could it be?''

''You mean....I was a part of an drinking contest?''

''A part? Miss Twilight it was your idea in the first place. You suggested it together with the fashion designer.''

''Rarity too? Im so confused right now. Could I get something to drink? My throat kills me right now.'' she asked while she tried to organized the informations. Golden Booze nodded and filled a glass with some water. Twilight took the glass and drank the whole glass in one draft. He couldn't stand it and began to chukle one more time.''What so funny'', the unciron asked.'' It's just like last night. The whole glass in one draft.'' He chuckled once more and looked into the confused face of the lavender mare.'' OK . Two things. First please stop laughing about me. It's not fair to laugh about a confused pony just after it woke up with the hardest headache in equestria.''

''Deal '', he said, still smiling.'' And number two. I can't remember one thing of last night so I will ask right away.'' She sighed and shook her head. Then she asked, with a face that would make everypony bust out in laughter.

''What the buck happened last night?''

That was too much for him. He burst out of laughter and fell onto his back, still laughting like mad.

Twilight just covered her ears in reactions of the sudenly loud sound and let out a little cry.

''Hey! Why are you laughing? I said it one time before it's not funny too laugh about confused ponies!'',she hissed at the now calm but still grinning barcolt. He just stood up , walked over to the counter, took out a glass of cider and drank it. Twilight looked at him and commented '' Really this early?'' He emptied the glass and answered '' If you have to deal with a completly hilarious, first time hungover unicorn who knows nothing about the aftereffectes of a wild party night, what would you do to suppress another burst out of laughter? The only thing I couls think of was a good 'ol glass of cider''.''You have a serious problem you know?'' Twilight said with an annoyed face.'' Miss Twilight did you just insulted me?'', he answered beaming.''I just...you know forget it. I think I will go home and try to meet with my friends. Maybe they know what happened last night.''

''One last thing'' Twilight said as she walked, a little bit wavering, to the door.'' Your bar is really a mess. I think you should clean up.''

''Oh I will Miss Twilight even if one of the creators of this mess is just about to leave this place.''

''I...ah....sorry but...'' The barcolt looked at Twilight and let out a sigh.'' It's ok. You can leave and organize your mind.''

Golden Booze heared a quiet ''Thank you'' as the blushing mare leaved his bar. He looked at the watch. 1:30 pm. He sighed and began to clean his bar for the costumers who would come tonight.

As he cleaned up one of the tables he thought to himself '' Jep some ponies really shouldnt drink much cider. The third time this week I need too order new tables.''

Chapter Two : First time hangover

Chapter Two

Spike heared a crash from downstair's of the tree library a jumped out of his sleeping basket.

''What was that?'', he though, still sleepy. He was quiet for some second and then agian there was a lout noise from the ground floor. ''What is this? Where is Twilight? What should I do?''. And then he frozed right where he has standed.''What if downstair's a robbers or even worse zombie ponies?!

What if downstair's are zombie robbers?! I need to hide!'' He was about to hide under Twilight's bed when he heared a angry cry from the ground floor.'' Dammit! Since when have climbing stairs had been this hard!'' Spike let out a sight of relief as he regognized who was down and tried to get upstairs. ''It's just Twilight. Jezz since when I am such an chicken?'' Spike thought but then he realised what Twilight had just said. '' She got problems with climbing the stairs?''

''For ponies sake! What is going on with me!'' Twilight said frustrated and dissapointent in herself.

''Really?! Stairs?! I forgot how to climb stairs?!'' Twilight looke up and soon she could see her number one assisstent Spike who was observing her with a confused view. '' Twilight are you alright? I heared you yelling at some point but I think I didn't understand you right. You cryed something about stairs. What is wrong?''

''Spike good that you are here. Could you please come and help me to get up the stairs? I have some really bad problem with these little traitor.''

''Sure Twilight but what is your problem? You dislocated your back or something?'' Spike said as he reached down the stairs to support twilight at her way up the stairs. ''Thanks Spike and I don't really know what my problem is. I could possibly just woken up on the wrong hoof.''

'' If you say so.'' Spike answered as he and the mare walked up the stairs.

In her room Twilight just fell onto her bed and mumbled into her pillow '' Spike, when anypony want something from me just send them away and let me sleep. I need my bed now more then anything else.'' Spike nodded and replied '' Ok Twilight. Should I wake you later?'' but Twilight was already snoring into her pillow, her mind far away in some dreams only she knew about. Her number one assisstent covered the unicorn in her blanket, took of the light, leaved the room and closed the door as quietly as possible.

********************************************************************************

The Sun was still shining in the open, cloudless sky above ponyville as the lavender unicorns eyes shot open and her mind slowly begann to work again. She shoved her blanket away and started to strech her body. After some minutes she yawned loudly and looked at the watch. 6 pm.

''Oh Horseapples'' she mumbled as she stood up and begann to walk downstair's. One step infront of the staircase she paused and looked angrily at the stairs.'' Just hope this time I make it without trouble'' she thought and begann to walk down the stairs. She made it. '' Good. I have a strong headache, no memorys of last night and if I try to use my magic it feels like my head would explode but at least I managed to deal with the stairs again''.

At the main room of the library Spike was snoring between some books. '' Must have worked the whole day again. I think I should let him sleep right now. Im not the best pony to spend time with at the moment''. The mare continued her way towards the kitchen and made a mental list what she would do until she was going to bed again. ''It's possibly to late to gather my friends. I will just send them a inventation for an meeting tomorrow.'' At the kitchen she started to prepare dinner for her and Spike.'' I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I wake him for dinner. So where do I store all the gems again?''

Half an hour later Twilight waked up Spike and they both settled down at the kitchen table for dinner. They talked about some trivial stuff and enjoyed their meal. After the plates were took of the table Spike asked '' So Twilight how was the party last night?'' Twilight lookedat him and blushed as she said '' I will be honest Spike. I have no idea.''

''What do you mean you have no idea?'' Spike asked confused. ''It was your own one  year anniversary party and you have no idea?''

'' Im serious Spike. I can't remember one thing. I think I had too much cider.''

''So you were totaly wasted?'' Spike questioned with a giant smirk. '' Like completely drunk?''

''Spike stop it! Maybe I was. Maybe not. Like I said before I have no idea.'' Twilight reminded the little dragon. Spike was still curious but let her in peace. He knew that he won't get any informations from the mare.

Twilight leaved the kitchen and tried to use her magic again, just to be rembered that this isn't such a good idea. '' Ok. Magic is still not possible. Must be a result of the drinking. What does the barcolt called it. A Hangover? Yes that's what it's called. I should do some research on that.'' The lavender unicorn troted over to the main room and searched for books with the terms ''hangover'' and ''drunk''. Eveything she found were some films with the titels ''Hangover'' and Hangover : Part 2'' from which she knowed that Spike loved them. '' I don't think that watching this films would help me to deal with this hangover. Probably Zecora could help me but I don't want to look out for her in the Everfree Forest. The only thing I can do now is wait to get over with this.''

The unicorn looked over to the watch. 9 pm. '' Wow the research must had taken more time I realized. I can't believe nopony has ever written something about hangovers! What if somepony ever needs informations like me today. They would be totaly lost like me. Before I go to sleep I will take some notes for the generations after me. They need to knew this.'' Twilight was on her way upstairs as she heared a loud snooring from downstairs. '' Spike is asleep yet? Must have been a long day for him. He deserv that sleep.'' She finished her walk and closed the door behind her as she entered her bedroom. Downstairs Spike to snore some more time as he heared the door was closed upstairs. After a few moments a smile crept onto his face as he got up and made his way to the movie collection were his goal layed inside. He took out two movies and whispered '' Hello there sweeties. It's time to use you one more time.'' He unpacked the first movie and beamed as the menu of hangover was showed on the TV. '' This is gonna be a good night.''

Upstairs Twilight was taking notes about her lack of using magic , the headache after she was woken up in the bar and every other sign of the hangover. '' I still don't really now if this is just my kind of hangover or if everypony has the same sign. My friends sure will share their experiences with me. I bet this wasn't Rainbows first hard party. She must know some tricks to avoid situations like today. Speaking of my friends I still haven't send them inventations for tommorow. Must think of thats after I get up later.'' With her minds at her friends she begann to lay down and pulled her blanket above herself. With one final thought she drifted into sleep. '' How had my friends dealed with a hangover today?''

Chapter Three : Just a Rarity

Chapter Three

''Rarity? Rarity. Come on sis. Get up. It's nearly 2 pm. Rarity!''  Rarity slowly opened her bloodshot eyes and stared immediately into the big green eyes of her little sister. The mare let out a cry of surprise as the little unicorn jumped of the bed. '' Hey sis. I just thought that it would be good if you get up now. Nearly the half of the day is gone and you were just sleeping. I was worried and tried to wake you up since 10 minutes now. Can I help you today with your work? Or could all of the Cutie Mark Crusaders because that would be.....'' She was silence as Rarity put a hoof on her little sister mouth and looked at her really annoyed.'' Sweetie Belle. Could you please be quiet for a moment now? My head hurts, I dislocate my back last night and I sure do look terrible right now. Please just avoide me for some minutes until Im ready to face you again wihtout explode into a hurricane of

anger and annoyance.'' Sweetie Belle just nodded and leaved the room as fast as her hoofs carried her.

Rarity slowly stood up and walked over to the mirror. She guessed right. She looked really terrible.

The unicorn draged herself into the bathroom and turned on the shower. It was a long shower. Nearly fourty five minutes until she stepped out and begann to styled her mane. After some more minutes of styling her mane and brushing her teeth she exited the bathroom and was ready to face everything but not one thing. And this one thing was her overly bored sister who was waiting for her in the kitchen. ''Hey Rarity! Do you feel better now? Can I help you with something?''

Rarity simply sat down at the table and took her head between her hoves. ''Rarity? Are feeling sick?Should I get the Doctor?'' Sweetie Belle asked with a worried glance over to her sister.

''No. It's fine Sweetie. Im just not myself today. Could you be a good filly and give me some coffee. I will pass out right here if I don't get some caffeine.''

After Rarity had taken some sips of the coffee that was made by the filly she let out a happy sight.

Sweetie Belle definetly cam't cook but her coffee was the best thing that a pony can get after waking up. For Rarity it was a bit of heaven and the filly loved it to make coffee and was still hoping to get her cutie mark in brewing coffee. After some more minutes in quiet Rarity grabed to cup of coffee and said to Sweetie Belle '' If anyone of my friends ask for me send them into my room. You can deal with the customers today. I will be working on some dresses in privacy. When you want something then please knock before you enter.'' The little alabaster unicorn nodded with a little sight and was about to open the boutique for today with a little bit of dissapointment until Rarity said '' Oh and Sweetie. Thanks for the coffee and the wake up. I don't know what I would without you.'' Sweetie felt proude and was grinning as she flipped the ''closed'' cart to ''open''.

Inside her room Rarity placed to cup of coffee onto her desk and begann to draw some new designes for some customers. She was unconcentrated and hadn't realized that she was about to draw the same outfit for the third time as suddendly the top of her pencil broke and destroyed her image. As she stood up she knocked her cup of coffee over and the coffee spilled all over the finished pictures. In foolish try to safe her work she used her magic, lost her ballance because of the instantly strong headache and felt stomach first onto the ground. There she just layed still, closed her eyes and tried to calm down. After a while she heared a quiet knock on the door. Rarity mumbled ''Come in'' and her little sister slowly opened the door. As she looked into the room she was worried about her sister but she had seen worse as she entered the room some times before.

'' Sis? I think you should get back to bed. I will take care of this mess. You settle and get some sleep.'' Rarity felt that somepony treid to lift her up and she got up on her hoofs. With Sweetie Belle at her side Rarity was dragged herself over to the bed and crawled under the cover. She dragged Sweetie Belle into a long  hug and whispered into her hear in a loving voice '' Thank you Sweetie Belle. Im glad your here. I love you.'' Sweetie Belle hugged her back and waited until her sister had fallen asleep. Then she pulled out of the hug and started to clean up the mess her sister had created in the room. After thats she walked to the bed, looked at her sister and whispered '' I love you too. Even when you got some of these moods from time to time. Im really happy that something like this is just a Rarity.'' She chuckled a little bit at her own joke and leaved the room without making any sound.

*********************************************************************************************************

The next day Rarity woke up without the support of Sweetie Belle. The headache was gone and her back as relaxed in her sleep so the dislocation was gone. She carefully tried to use her magic and noticed that it was still hurting a little bit but at least it was possible to use it again. She looed around her room. Everything was cleaned up and nice. The mare was sure that Sweetie Belle has done this as she was asleep. '' She such a Treasure. Im proud to be her sister. Speaking of her, where is she?''Rarity walked into her bathroom to prepare herself for other ponies. Then she walked downstairs and read a notice Sweetie has written before she left the house to crusade with her friends. The unicorn was cooking waffles as she heared a knock on the door. After sh opened it the unicorn saw who it was.

''Hey Rarity. I got a letter for you. I think it's from Nightlight.''  said the gray mail pegasus with the bubble cutie mark and her blond mane.

Rarity rolled her eyes as she begann to speak with the pegasus ''Hello Ditzy. I think you mean Twilight. But why would Twilight send me a letter? We both just live a few apart from each other.''

''Oh yeah Twilight. I can't really remember names really good. I don't know why but she said it was importent that you get the letter as fast as possible. Im taking off. Bye. '' and with this the mailmare set off towards the sky and dissapeared behind he next cloud.

Rarity looked at the letter with an confused stare. What Twilight wrote to her was hard to read and hard to understand at some points. But the unicorn wanted all of her friends in the library to talk about the party 2 days before. ''I completely forgot! It was Twilight first party with alcohol. The poor thing must have the worst time of her life. First time hangover is not a thing to make fun about!'' Rarity took one of her sacles and began to walk over to Twilight to see how she was dealing with her first hangover.
