chapter 1 dreams shattered

A day in the richest part of Canterlot; well it is to be expected, as I am a bartender in a slum bar. Well, my day turns out to be good for me, considering my boss is a horse’s ass to say the least, but hey, the bits are good, so I could care less about what he says.

“Silver! We need 2 round robin vodka mixes, now! On the double!”

The best part of my job, is making my favorite drink for one of my best customers in Canterlot; which he pays me extra well for, considering he orders 2 when he gets the time to come in.

A round robin vodka mix is a blended vodka with 2 types of liquor of the customers choice, so the obvious would be a berry soda and a hint of moonshine with a pinch of lemon to give it the maximum taste with the vodka. 'Yeah, I love my job but the boss doesn't help at all'. As I took time to fix the drink, I noticed that a lot of the customers that normally show up, are nowhere to be seen.

“Hey boss, where are our regulars? It seems dead in here tonight...”

“Well, most are at the Royal wedding, so they aren't here.”

“Hmm. Okay. Just wondering.” I replied as I brought Mr. Shiners his vodka mix, and he rewarded me with a hefty bunch of bits for my trouble.

So this is my life as a barkeep; kind of depressing really. I have no marefriend at all, since most mares don’t even look my way, due to my social status and looks. I do not care to say the least, but it's their loss, so I take it as I go. While I make a decent living, Canterlot is not the place I want to live, since it is far from the perfect home I've always dreamed of.

“Silver Hoof! Stop day dreaming! Damn! You seriously need to stop and pay attention!” His boss yelled.

I think I went deaf! Gee, thanks a bunch for that!

“Well, you're lucky you're the only decent barkeep I've got, or I would have fired you by now!”

“Seriously boss, I do more than my fair share of work around here, and all I want is a little slack! I've been up for 34 hours so far without any sleep!”

“Well, that's no excuse! Even with sleep, you daydream a great deal, and it is making me want fire your sorry ass! You know what? I've got one for you Silver; You're fired! Just leave and don’t come back!” He shouted.

“Wow, seriously? Why me?” Silverhoof said as he left the bar, without a glance back, noticing a large amount of bits for him as he left the building, entering the streets of Canterlot.

An hour later, he reached his apartment; a fairly decent size for what it's worth. Unlocking the door, he noticed a package addressed to him from his boss.

“Hmm. Why a package all of a sudden?”

He then took note that an envelope was there, with the words 'leave town or I will make you leave this place in a heart beat.

Well, some letter... And let me guess, it's tickets to go wherever I please. Well, thanks for nothing, you damned foal of an idiot. I can't believe this horse-feathers for one stinking minute!

Meanwhile, in Ponyville...

Darkmint, a mare that just arrived in Ponyville, is looking for a place to set up a bar:

Where is the city hall? She thought to herself. I swear I am more lost here, than being in Manehattan! Ugh, I hate small places. She made her way until she saw the city hall sign.

"Finally! It took me long enough!" She thought out loud.

Taking a small step, she knocked on the door with her hoof, and a small, old earth pony answer the door,

“Ah, you must be Mayor Mare. I'm Darkmint; it's a pleasure to meet you.”

“Oh yes.” The mayor replied. “I was told to expect you sometime, but I am shocked to see that you came so early.”

“Well I can thank a fast train called Rainbow Dash; or should I say pegasus.” Darkmint replied with a chuckle.

“Oh you’re a friend of Dash, huh? Well, I think you will like Ponyville a lot.” The mayor said with a smile.

“I do hope so; I really love the city, but I want to make a business somehow, so I'll take what I can get.”

“I think that is perfectly fine miss Mint, so if you're ready we should be on our way.”

After walking around town, the Mayor stopped at one not so empty lot, with a nice building that was empty.

“Will this work for what you want? The mayor asked.

“Yes, it's perfect.” Darkmint responded with a nod. “I'm glad you saved it for me. I mean, really, it was probably hard to keep it all locked up.”

“Yes, well I made a request to a unicorn, Twilight Sparkle, who kindly set a magic ward up so no one could get in.”

“Hmm. Very impressive! Do you mind if we go in and look around?” Darkmint asked with enthusiasm.

“Yes, by all means!” Mayor Mare responded cheerfully.

Following the mayor, Darkmint was looking around as they stepped into the main hallway.

“Wow, its semi furnished already? She asked. “That makes things easier for me to set up here.

“Yes. The floor plan was an original design, and took a lot of stallions to make it right, but I believe you have ponies coming in tomorrow to help you set up the place?”

“Yes. I'm going to make this place as perfect as I can for everypony.” Darkmint replied with determination. “The bar is going to be big, made of a great wood; and I believe since it's Zap Apple season, I'm going to be making some damn good cider, once it's harvest time. I also know that I can’t wait to get started, but I will have to wait. For now, I need some sleep. But I'm not sure where I'm going to stay...”

“You can stay at my house for the time being, if that is okay with you.” Mayor Mare said as the pair made their way out of the soon-to-be bar.

“That sounds marvellous!” Darkmint replied with a smile, as they both headed toward the mayor's home.

Back at Canterlot Station.

After 2 hours of packing, Silverhoof made his way to the train station.

“I hate that I am being kicked out of Canterlot thanks to my boss, but this is kinda stupid getting a guard escort as well...”

ALL ABOARD FOR PONYVILLE!

'Well, that’s my train. It will take 2 days or so to get there; considering they make 2 stops or so before they reach the destination.' He mused.

He took a step into the train, making his way into a empty cart, which he was lucky to find at this rate.

'Wow, these cars are full! I wonder how many of these ponies are heading to Ponyville? And I wonder what kind of place it is... I'm far from excited, but I'm not complaining, either I suppose.'

Setting his stuff down, and making himself comfortable for the long 2 day ride, Silverhoof sighed. Keeping from being bored will be hard he thought."I hope to meet a special somepony in Ponyville... I'm feeling a bit lonely...”

“First stop Trottingham, and then Cloudsdale! Our final stop will be Ponyville, so keep in your carts everypony!” The attendant said to the ponies through a microphone.

“So 2 stops, then Ponyville. Sounds like a blast; and I get to see Cloudsdale as well! That will be a treat in itself!” He said aloud to himself, attracting the attention of another pony.

“So your heading to Ponyville, huh? Wow, another one meets an end, I see.”

“Who are you?” Silverhoof asked the stranger.

“I'm Stormcrusher. I'm part of the weather team responsible for helping Ponyville and Cloudsdale, and a good friend of Rainbow Dash.”

“I'm Silverhoof; it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm new to going to Ponyville; considering I'm from Canterlot.”

“So what brings you to a town like Ponyville?” The pegasus asked.

“My boss fired me, and had me booted from Canterlot for no reason. So here I am, on my way to Ponyville.”

“That sucks. I know how it is; getting kicked out of Canterlot. I was kicked out twice, in fact. It was a real blast the second time around.” The pegasus added with a chuckle.

“Let me guess - you're the one who raided the castle and tried to kiss Princess Luna?”

“Yep, that was me! Wow, news travels fast; I guess I did not expect anyone to remember that at all!” The pegasus said with a hearty laugh.

“Believe me, all the drunks I deal with, you wouldn't believe the stories I hear all the time.” Silverhoof said with a sigh

“That's true.” The pegasus said. “I love my drinks; especially vodka and moonshine! Best combination ever! Wait a second...Silverhoof? Whoa! I didn’t realize it was you!” The pegasus said with complete surprise

“Mr. Shiners? Is that you?” Silverhoof said, taken completely aback.

“Yep, it sure is! Wow so the boss kicked your ass outta the bar, and Canterlot? That's a rough thing for him to do!” he said with slight disappointment. “Not to worry though, Ponyville is fine; trust me. I'll make sure you are welcomed with open arms.

“Thanks, that means a lot to me.” Silver said as they chatted for hours on end.

Back at the tavern bar.

Two days had passed, and not much had happened, besides the construction ponies that were helping with the building; not to mention the fact that a certain pink pony made sure that she would be welcomed

As I was making my way through town, I was stopped by a pink pony, who I could swear was on some messed up drugs and sugar if I saw it,

“OHMGOSHOMGOSH A NEW FACE!” She rambled on about how she knew everypony, and that she was going to throw a party for me; since I was new in town.

“Um, ok, I appreciate it. I'm sure I'd like a party but first I have to get to Sweet Apple Acres to talk to a miss Applejack, I believe.”

“I can take you to see her!” The hyper pink mare replied. “Applejack is one of my friends here in town! I'd be more than happy to take you!”

Well, thanks; that makes me feel better, considering I don’t know where it is. So lead the way miss...”

“Pinkie Pie! And what’s your name?”

“I'm Darkmint. So, shall we get going?”

To say the least, I'm glad I ran into her, because I now have 3 cases of zap apples for making cider with moonshine, and vodka flavoured zap apple. I love mixing my drinks with great stuff, but I am in desperate need of a sign so looking through town for a sign maker was going to be more difficult than I thought it would be.

I came to a shop called the Flim-Flam Brothers shop

"Wow, funny name, but whatever looks harmful enough...”

“Hey, brother! We've got a customer! Flim said.

“Well, look at that.” both brothers said in unison,

“Hello, I'm looking for a sign maker for my tavern, the Nightsky.” she said.

“Oh, the mayor said to look for a pony... Darkmint, I think she said. Is that you, miss?”

“Yes, I'm Darkmint. I assume then, that you know what I need?”

“We certainly do!” Flam chimed. It will take about 4 hours to have it completed, so you can come back later if you wish.”

“I will be back soon, and thank you again for the help.” Darkmint said, leaving the shop. Trotting back into the main part of town was fun; the weather was great and enjoyable.

Well in a week or two, my tavern will be open for business and I'll be ready! She mused to herself

Meanwhile back in the train bound for Ponyville.

Well, it looks like it is going be a long ride, so I might as well enjoy it while I can.

Waking up 4 hours later, and noticing that the train had made it to Cloudsdale, Silverhoof was very excited to have arrived.

Well, time to get some rest. Tomorrow, I'm to meet the mayor as soon as possible. he thought to himself as he turned in for the night.

chapter 2 ponyvile the welcome

SilverHoof(pov)

All disembark to to Ponyvile! We have arrived!

Well, here I am in Ponyvile, and what a lively town indeed! As I wondered where to go, I started to ask around town about where the town hall was, so I made my way after asking a bouncy pink pony where it was, and she bounced off.

I found the town hall after a bit of searching, and it was a decent size for a place, so marching up the steps was a fun ride, considering it wasn’t that much of a trot at all. Knocking on the door to her house, he was greeted by a short Earth pony named Mayor Mare.

“Good morning, I'm SilverHoof. I'm new in town and I'm a bit lost, can ya kindly help me?”

“Oh! Another new pony! You're the second one this week. Well, follow me Mr. Silver, and we will get you settled in to the house where you will be staying.”

The walk took thirty minutes, but it was fun. She started by asking me where I was from, and why I came to a town like Ponyvile. I explained why I was kicked out of Canterlot; Thanks to my horses ass of a boss, and was forced to move somewhere else.

“Hmm. That is a really sad story, and I'm sorry to hear that you had to leave such a great city behind; It must have been hard on you.”

“Yes, it was, and I hate being away from the city. I feel like a stranger here in Ponyvile, and I hope to make a new life here.”

“I'm glad you came here, because not many ponies come to move or live here.”

“In that case, I feel very welcome here, and I promise I wont cause any trouble.”

After ten minutes, we arrived at a simple town house that was a great size, but all the more welcome.

“This is mine? Wow I love it!” I said as I walked inside, looking at the interior; noticing it had an inside bar, like a pub or restaurant.

“This is a two story house, and you are more than welcome to redecorate it as you see fit.” She explained, seeing my awe-struck look.

“Well, I thank you very much.” I replied. “I'm going to get settled. I'll come by sometime tomorrow, if that's okay?” I asked. Nodding, she waved her hoof as she left the house.

As evening arrived, SilverHoof was busy restocking the bar with his much rewarded liquors and different drinks he collected over the years, noticing that the shelves already had glasses, plates, and other silverware on them. He set to get the house in order, starting with the living room. Noticing the decent size, he decided he was going to make sure he had plenty of space, just in case he wanted to throw a party. After moving things from shelf to shelf, he was finally satisfied with his work, moving on to his master bedroom which was medium size.

'Not like the size matters, considering I'm single.'

Making his bed was fun; he had 3 layers of blankets, and while he did that he snook a peek into the bathroom, noticing a large tub.

“Now that's more like it!” He said aloud, grinning from ear to ear. Before he could step into the bathroom, a knock at the door interrupted his thoughts.

'Now who in the hay is here at this time of night?' He thought to himself.

Opening the door, he was tackled by the same hyperactive pink pony he recieved directions from earlier.

“Oh hi! I'm Pinkie Pie and I'm here to invite you to Sweet Apple Acres for your welcoming party! So come on!”

Trying to figure everything out, sitting up seeing the pink pony bouncing like a foal on a sugar high, he just nodded at her ranting about the party.

Pinkie Pie started to show him to where the party was, when he noticed a unicorn mare with a mint color mane in the distance. As they made their way to Sweet Apple Acres, he decided to tune out the bouncing pony, who was talking faster than he could think, so he deiced to nod every once in a while as they made it to their destination. As they approached the party, SilverHoof was in awe at how big the party really was.

“Wow, this is nice! Did you do this all yourself Pinkie Pie?” He asked in shock. She just simply nodded. “Well, I'm impressed!” Silver said to her giving her a hug in thanks.

Noticing more ponies coming to the party from all sides of town, “WELCOME EVERYPONY!” Pinkie exclaimed as she grabbed a megaphone from an old Earth pony.

“Welcome to Ponyvile! I'm Twilight Sparkle.” A lavender unicorn said to silver, and to the mint colored pony who did not look amused at all by the party. She probably didn't want to be there in the first place...

“I'm SilverHoof. I came from Canterlot; from the richer part, that's known for their casinos, bars, and clubs.”

Well since he's doing an introduction...
“I'm DarkMint, I'm not from this town either, and I arrived three days before you did it seems.”

“Well it is a pleasure to meet you DarkMint. Twilight said as she smiled. “I hope I can be a good friend, if you need one.”

DarkMint(pov)

Tonight was shaping up to be a good night so far; the party was great, and the stallion in silver was hot. He stood out in the crowd as he danced with Twilight. DarkMint then came up to him and asked him to dance. He nodded, making room for her to come up and wrap her forelegs around him as they danced.

“You’re quite the good dancer Mr. Silver, I mean really good!” She said as she was twirled round and around, giggling.

“Well your no slouch yourself! He exclaimed. “Wherever did you learn to dance? He asked, winking at her with a smile.

“I learned at the Canterlot School of Dance, she replied. “Which is a great school for beginners; the class was taught by that one mare who ended up pregnant later on that year.”

“Oh, I've heard of it, I've just never been to it before. Besides, I'm best friends with the instructor. She was a teacher in the filly and colt school of magic.” Silver said in a silly tone.

“Wow, that's awesome!” DarkMint said as the song ended. “And thanks for the dance! “It was really fun, and believe me, I haven’t danced in years, so it was a new experience for me!”

After the dance, she made her way to the bar, ordering some apple cider, downing it in two seconds flat. She grabbed two more glasses before going back to the party's main attraction, considering that she and SilverHoof were the ponies that the party was for in the first place; it was a bit embarrassing when she was invited.

“Well everypony, I must be getting home.” DarkMint said. “I have to clean up and get started on my little project that will be opening up in a few days.” Her announcement made, she went on her way, only to be stopped by SilverHoof

“May I go with you?” He asked nervously. “I've had enough of Pinkie Pie's energy to last me a month.” He said with a chuckle. “Besides, I'm a tad curious about what you're working on.” He added, smiling as he trotted next to her.

“Of course,” She responded. “I don't see how it could hurt.”

After a short walk, the duo made it to her tavern, causing Silver's eyes to widen in awe. As well as the words that came out of his mouth.

“Well damn, what a nice tavern! The nicest I've seen in my many years working in bars and clubs!” He said with amazement. “If you'd like I can help you fix the place up; I mean only if you'd like me to. He offered “I would be honored to help; it makes me happy helping others, and besides, I'd love to work here once it is finished.”

DarkMint pondered his offer for a moment, eventually reaching a decision.

“That sounds wonderful! She beamed. Besides, I don’t get much help, and this will be the first chance I've had to work on it to begin with. The party distracted me too much, and I want this place open soon.”

I can understand that.” He said. “I mean, my old boss opened his bar from scratch, and it was a hit with the neighborhood drunks; and they paid a fortune doing it.”

“I cant say that I'm impressed, but who was your boss?” She asked with curiosity.

“His name was Shine light, a neighborhood ass from university, and my now ex-boss. He had me kicked out of Canterlot for no reason.”

“I know who he is.” She deadpanned. “It sounds like he hasn't changed one bit. He was always bossy, and made people mad at him for his sheer stupidity.”

“Stupidity is right!” Silver exclaimed with a hearty laugh, as he told DarkMint the story on how he was fired.

“Shesh.” She replied. “He really is a horses ass, and he will forever be one.”

SilverHoof(pov)

Spending a few hours with the mare, he learned that she had opened up several bars all over Equestria, and settled in Ponyvile not too long ago.

“So, what made you decide to open a business in this small town?” He asked.

“Well, I love running bars. You could say it's my special talent; making people happy with my drinks.

“Well Dark, I think it's a wonderful idea! He chimed. “And I'd be more than happy to help you in any way I can; as long as you can tolerate me, that is.” He added with a laugh.

“Well, it'll take more than that to get me annoyed,and besides, I think Pinkie wins that contest hooves down!” She said with a laugh.

“That's so true!” He said to her, smiling like a school pony.

Looking around the tavern, he noticed the gargantuan size of the bar, complete with a TV, and a plethora of bottles; taking notice of the Zap Apple cider.

“Where did you get the Zap Apples from, if I may ask?”

“I ordered them before the season started, so I can make the cider once the apple season began. Plus, I made different drinks with the Zap Apples, that actually turned out to be pretty good.” She explained.

“Wow, how time flies when your having a blast.” he said with a yawn, noticing DarkMint yawning as well. “I think we should call it a night.” He added, stifling back another yawn as he headed for the door, so DarkMint could close up and get some sleep. He waved to her as he left the tavern, a smile creeping across his face.

I think this is going to turn out very well... he thought to himself as he trotted home.

To be continued...

chapter 3 oh thats smarts

DarkMint(pov)

After the night was done, and she and Silverhoof parted ways, she felt alone. Did he have that much effect on me? I never took much romantic interest in anypony, much less somepony like him. She thought. She decided to go back into the tavern and grab a glass of cider to calm her nerves. “Aww I needed that.” she said aloud, chuckling to herself.

I think I am gonna get some work done here. She thought to herself, as she started to move tables around and set them in the right angles, making sure each had three sets of silverware and napkins. As she worked, she started to think of Silver, only making herself blush as she did so.

After two hours of working, she turned the lights off and closed down for the night. As she trotted home, she planned a lot in her head as for what to add in the tavern, and what kind of TV network she needed for the sports part of things. “I never had much problems with setting up, so why is it hard right now?” She thought out loud.

“Oh, that’s easy!” Twilight Sparkle said, making her jump two feet in the air.

“What in tarnation are you scaring me for?” DarkMint said to a giggling Twilight.
“Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. And to answer your question, you have fallen in love; that's why you're so distracted.”

“How can you be so sure, Twi? I mean yeah, I think I get it, but I never in my right mind think of romance. But I just can't stop thinking about him, and it makes my heart go all jumpy.”

“Yep, I was right! And I'm always right! So, do I win a prize?”

“Hmm. Sure. I'll treat ya to some drinks tomorrow, but for now, I just want to crash after the night I've had.” Dark said sleepily.

“That's okay. Well, goodnight DarkMint. See you tomorrow!”

After Twilight left, Dark went straight home and took a long, hot, steamy shower, continuing to think of the stallion who stole her heart and making her all wet between her legs. Really now, I think Twilight is right. I have fallen hard for Silver, and it's only going to get worse now that he is going to work with me but oh snap he needs a job to work in the tavern.

After the shower, she climbed into bed tired, but not ready to sleep just yet. She grabbed a pen and paper, and started writing menus for the drinks; and to get a feel for the food as well. I'm thinking tavern food; like sandwiches, salads and whatever else ponies eat in this town. After that, she lay down, settling into dream land as she hit the pillow.

SilverHoof(pov)

Sleep was nearly impossible that night for him, so he decided to read and drink some wine. “Okay, why am I being such a dunce? This is not like me; and what is on my mind about that mare? I think it's obvious I am in love with a mare who I met tonight.” Silver said aloud.

Finishing the drink, he then lay back, thinking of DarkMint, and smiled. He wondered what it would be like to kiss the mare after the dance he fell for her instantly and it was something he never experienced before coming into town.

Falling asleep after awhile, dozing off into dreamland.

The next morning.

SilverHoofs(pov)

“Urgh, my head. Why is it pounding so much?” Silverhoof thought aloud, as he found himself on the floor instead of his bed. “Okay, why am I on the floor, and why must my morning be like this?” Getting up slowly, he made his way to the bathroom, looking into the mirror. “Okay, I look like shit.” Silver muttered to himself as he rubbed the sore spot on his head.

Making his way downstairs, he noticed one of two things. First, someone had left him a package, and second, the window was open. “Hmm, what is this?” He said to himself, as he went to the package.

To Silverhoof from Darkmint:

Sorry I had to come in through the window, but I left a package of my best moonshine for you. Let me know what you think when you make your way to the tavern at your earliest convenience.

P.S. Do not drink it by itself!

“Heh, typical.” He said with a chuckle “But it's moonshine, so I'm not complaining I suppose.” Opening the package, he pulled out a large bottle of homemade raspberry moonshine. “Well, now I'll be darned. She truly outdid herself; I must find a way to repay her somehow.” He said to himself as he made his way to the tavern, after cleaning up and grooming himself.

DarkMint(pov)

Making her way inside the tavern was fun. She dressed quickly, making short work of her mane, and dressing professionally for the day's work. “I wonder if Silver found the moonshine I brought him? Well I'll know soon enough.” She thought aloud, as she saw him coming to the door.

“Perfect timing, if I do say so myself.” She said, chuckling to herself as he came inside the tavern, out of breath. “Well don't die on your first day of work now!” She exclaimed, giggling at the stallion who was fighting to catch his breath.

“Sorry, I needed to rush to get away from a mob of Pinkie Pie.” He replied between breaths.

“Do I want to know why an army of Pinkie Pies were chasing you?” She asked with curiosity.

“Oh, you would not believe the day I've had so far, so let me explain.” He answered.

15 mins ago

Okay. So, I should make it in time for work if I leave now. Silver thought, nodding to himself as he locked the door to his house. And before he could turn around, he was surrounded by a dozen of the hyperactive psycho mare Pinkie Pie, “Okay. Please tell me I am not dreaming; or is this a nightmare.”

“Nope!” they all said in union, attempting to tackle the awestruck stallion.

“Oh hell no! I'm outta here!” He said, as he started to run away, trying to get some distance between him and the Pinkie Pies.

Back to present

“Okay, can I die laughing now? Please?” She said, holding her hut as she started laughing in mirth.

“Seriously, I'm freaked out by that crazy mare, who I swear has had way too much sugar to drive a sane pony like me crazy.”

“I 'm sorry for laughing, but she pulled that same trick on me the night I came here, so I feel your pain my dear Silver.”

“Geez, what is up with her? Did someone drop her on her head when she was born, or did she get a permanent high on candy?”

“I don’t know, but I find her jokes funny sometimes.” Dark said, trying not to laugh even more.

“Well then, shall we get started working?” Silver announced, and dark only nodded, leading him into the bar area as she continued to silently giggle at the prank from earlier.

“So, what needs to be done?” Silver asked looking at the TV that was hooked up, but not turned on.

“I think we need to test some of the drinks, and make sure they will be satisfactory for our future customers.” She replied.

“So, what do we have right now?” Silver asked.

“Well, we have wines, spirits, liquors, and soda. So in this case, pick your poison.

“Yeah, I refuse to do liquor, since I downed that moonshine from this morning.”

“Please tell me you added something to it...”

“Nope.” Silver said, shaking his head to an awe struck DarkMint.

“DAMN! You do realize you're going to have a bucking headache tonight, right?” Dark said, shaking her head at the stallion, who was grinning like an idiot.

“I have something called hangover cure, so I'll be fine. I just can't drink any liquor or alcohol for 24 hours.”

SilverHoof(pov)

After all the arguing back and forth, they both decided to just call it quits and began to decorate the tavern starting with the top floor first, making their way downstairs.

“Do you think we're going to have a great business here?” Silver asked.

I don't know yet. She replied. “And besides, I need to set up my alchemy lab sometime after I open the tavern.”

“Well, I think we will just get things to work and we will be set, true and I think it will be great to have a place open in ponyvile.

“I love what you've done with this place!” a white unicorn mare with diamond cutie mark said to the pair.

“Why thank you! You must be Rarity. Twilight said I should be expecting you this morning, I just didn't think you'd be here this early.

“What did you need me to do, exactly?” Rarity asked.

“I need a sign that will stand out for the tavern the name is going to be Starlit tavern,

“I can have it done by tonight if that is okay with you, Miss Dark.” Rarity said with a nod.

“Well of course.” Dark said, noticing Silver just standing next to her with his mouth shut being silent.

“You okay, Silver?” Dark asked the stunned stallion.

“I think so, I'm just tired, and the moonshine is kicking in like crazy.” Silver said, sitting down on a stool.

“Well, you're welcome to rest.” Dark said while blushing, looking at his flank as she said it.

“Are you sure?” he asked in a confused tone and she simply nodded.

DarkMint(pov)

He is cute she thought to herself. And I never realized how good looking he way she continued to ponder as rarity bid them a farwell , shall we call it a day and get something to eat silver suggested making Dark blush a deep red, sure only if I can take you to my place to cook.

He nodded to her as she locked the tavern up, telling him to follow her as they went to her place.

“I've never been here before.” He said to her, as she unlocked the two story house she lived in.

“Well, I like to live in style Silver, so get used to it.” She said, making him blush a deep red.

“Now that’s playing dirty!” He retorted as he blushed, and she let out a giggle at his expense.

She made her way to the kitchen, and told him to make himself at home. Silver could only nod as he looked around the bottom floor, looking at the living room and the objects she had.

“I see you’re a collector.” He said with a smile, and she just nodded; not turning around as she continued to cook.

“I also collect a lot of different drinks; from places like Las Pegasus, and Trottingham.” She said, as the smell of the food got the better of him.

“So, a drink collector, huh?” He asked. “It seems we have a lot in common. I have tons of drinks myself, and it’s quite a chore keeping up with it.”

Thirty minutes later, dinner was done and set. “Come and get it.” She said to Silver, who could only smile. Taking a sip of the berry juice, he fell over, and passed out cold.

“Oh, I'll bet that smarts.” She said, realizing that she had given him an alcoholic drink. She took him to her room, and tucked him into bed, deciding that she needed to clean up and put everything away.

She then climbed into bed after 10 minutes, and turned out the light, looking at the sleeping stallion, worried that he'd be mad when he woke up.

chapter 4 DarkMint and the knocked out colt

SilverHoof(pov)

Okay, I know I am an idiot, but damn. Silver thought to himself as he awoke in a darkened room. Urgh my head. What the buck did I drink? And second, where the buck am I? Turning around, he came muzzle to muzzle with a sleeping DarkMint. “Oh buck, tell me I'm dreaming.” he said aloud, causing the mare to wake.

“No, you're not dreaming; and I'm sorry I didn’t realize that I had given you an alcoholic drink.”

“It's okay, but boy does my head hurt.” He said, rubbing his head with a hoof. “What happened after I drank it? Did I pass out?”

She nodded. “Yup. I've never seen someone do that before.”

“Well color me pink, because I'm shocked you stuck me in the bed.”

“Well, I wasn’t going to let you sleep on the floor or couch, so the bed was a better option.” she said, blushing.

“Well I thank you for that, and just so you know, I'm not mad at you so please don't be upset.” Silver said, snuggling close to her, causing her to blush an even deeper crimson.

“Can I say something?” Silver asked.

“Of course, what is it?” dark said in a whispered voice.

“I like you a lot. And when I say a lot, I really mean it.”

“I like you a lot too, Silver. “You've been on my mind since the party we went to, and after talking to you, it was the best feeling.”

“Well DarkMint, will you be my marefriend? I mean, you don't have to answer right away, just think on it and give me an answer tonight, okay?”

“That sounds fair, and how about I give you my answer over a proper dinner; without having you going unconscious?” She said with a giggle.

DarkMint(pov)

Did he really just ask me out? I'm in total shock! she thought to herself, as she and Silver started to work on the big parts of the tavern.

“So what are we going to be adding to the tavern?” Silver asked, waving a hoof in front of her face, trying to get her attention away from her day dream.

“I think we need to get the cable working, so we can set up the TV and make sure it doesn't go out.”

They both heard a knocking at the door, signaling that the cable stallions had arrived, and were ready to work. As Silver let them in, they tipped their hats, and got straight to work.

“So, what shall we do while they're busy working?” Dark asked, realizing that it was starting to get dark early.

“Shall we embark on our dinner date, and see where it leads from there?” Silver asked.

“Sure, lets go.” She replied.

Making their way to a new restaurant that opened a day ago, Silver noticed Applejack working the tables.

“Hey there AJ! How are you doing tonight?” He asked, surprised to see her.

“I'm doin' great! And let me welcome y'all to the Apple family diner!”

“So you and your family opened a diner? I'm truly impressed!” Dark said, as silver took his hoof into hers, smiling as they made it into the diner proper. The diner itself was Cowpony style; with a pool table, a bar, and many other accessories.

“Well color me impressed yet again!” Dark said to AJ, who simply nodded.

“What can I get y'all tonight?” The country mare asked.

“I'll take the dinner special, with some apple cider.” Dark said.

“And what about you Silver?” AJ asked.

“I'll have the special as well, but make my drink an apple moonshine, with just a hint of lemons. AJ nodded, making her way to Big Macintosh, who was busy cooking in the kitchen.

“So, about my question...” Silver said, grinning a bit at a giggling DarkMint.

“Yes, Silver I will be your marefriend, but only on one condition: you'll have to move in with me.” She said, a sly smile forming on her lips.

“Well, how could I refuse a condition like that! Of course I'll move in, if that's what you want.” He said, kissing her as she leaned into him, almost laying across the table, but stopping herself, pulling away after the kiss.

SilverHoof(pov)

“Holy horsefeathers, you’re a great kisser Dark, and I mean it!” He said to the blushing mare, who realized she was laying across the table after their moment of passion.

“I feel like a school mare after that kiss!” Dark said with a smirk, as she kissed him once more, causing him to fall on his rump while she giggled.
“That isn’t fair Dark, it really isn’t. But just watch out; I'll get you back... Just you wait.”

“Oh really?” Dark asked, smirking once more, only to get a surprise from Pinkie Pie, who seemed to appear from the shadows like a ninja.

“HIYA!” She said, making both Dark and Silver Jump up in the air.

“What the buck Pinkie! Why do you keep scaring us like that?! And what’s with that cannon?” Silver asked, pointing to her party cannon which she seemed to pull out of nowhere.

“I'm a ninja, remember?” She said, bouncing around the couple, who just shook their heads thinking to themselves: Why us... but also giggling at the same time.

“Well, can we get back to our food now Pinkie? I'm hungry, and I'd very much like to eat in peace.” She nodded, bouncing her way out of the restaurant. “Finally!” Silver exclaimed in annoyance. “I thought she'd never leave!”

“I know what you mean.” Dark said. “And believe me, I'm just as hungry. It's been a long day, and the cable stallions should be done by now, so I'm eager to get back to work on the tavern.” Dark added in a hushed tone.

“After they left the restaurant, and made it to the tavern, they saw that the stallions were just finishing the last cables, and ensuring that all of the TV's were in working order. Nodding as they saw the couple, Dark signed the paperwork that was presented to her, allowing the stallions to finally leave.

DarkMint(pov)

The night went slowly after the cable stallions had left, so both she and Silver decided to swap stories of their pasts.

“So silver, what is the best drink you had and when did you have it,

“Well the best drink I've ever had, was a Phoenix martini, and that was about four years ago at my birthday party. How about you?

“Mine was an iced martini, with a pinch of raspberry juice, and that was about a year ago at a family reunion.”

“Aww, family reunions are always fun, aren’t they?” Silver chuckled, as Dark blushed a deep crimson, pushing him playfully.
“Well, my family is crazy and the parties they have are just... Wow. Trust me, you would feel completely out of place if you met my folks.” Dark said. He wrapped his hooves around her, kissing her softly.

“Well, I'll have to meet your family at some point, right? So I suppose it pays to be prepared.”

“You've got that right!” She replied. “Just wait until you meet my cousins; they are complete lunatics.”

A knock on the door signaled the tragic end of their cuddle time. I wonder who that could be? Silver thought to himself as he opened the door, and was greeted by Rarity, holding the tavern sign up for both to see.

“I've outdone myself, darling! I finished it in record time! She exclaimed with pride. “I do hope it brings out the best in the tavern.” She added with a starry-eyed smile.

“I love it!” Silver said, looking over his shoulder at Dark who nodded in agreement as rarity put the sign up at the door.

After Rarity had left, Dark sighed. “I'm tired as buck. Tonight was just ridiculous, but awesome. Spending time with my coltfriend, who I swear to Celestia is absolutely nuts.”

“Oh gee, thanks Dark, I feel so loved.” He said, crossing his forelegs, but couldn’t stay mad as he burst out into mirth at the faces Dark was giving him.

“Shall we head to your place?” Silver asked.

“Yes. I need a shower, and before you ask, you may join me, but only if you behave.” Dark said.

“Oh, now that's not fair!” He whined as she brushed past him, making their way back to her house.

SilverHoof(pov)

As she unlocked the door, she noticed that someone was in the house. Before considering she had the door locked when she left this morning,

“Someone has been here Silver, and I think they're still here.” She noted. He nodded, following her into the house, where they were greeted by Silver's old boss.

“Well, look who dragged himself out of the dark, eh Silverhoof?” His old boss said in a menacing tone.

“What the buck are you doing here?!” Silver exclaimed in a harsh voice, causing Dark to flinch.

“I came here to get payback. After you left, some of your old friends came and beat me up for kicking you outta town. So I'm going to kick your sorry flank for making a fool outta me.”

“So, you want me to send you home crying? Well, I'd be more than happy to.” Silver said smiling, but it quickly turned to a frown, once he saw that he had two guards with him.

“Dark, get the mayor and the police. Now!” Silver yelled, as he charged the two Stallions who seemed unfazed at his charge, only to buck him into the wall. Dark left without hesitation, marching up to city hall and getting the mayor.

Back at the house

Silver tried to dodge the Stallions as much as possible, landing a few blows, only resulting in enraging them more. This is bucking ridiculous! He thought. These stallions must be made of steel! They just won't fall down!

After ten minutes of fighting, all Three of the stallions were out of breath and panting, as the police stallions came barging in to apprehend the two guards, and Silver's psychotic ex-boss, who was none too happy being hauled off to prison. Dark rushed in, wrapping her hooves around Silver's neck, holding him close.

“I'm glad your okay.” Dark said to him, kissing him tenderly.

“I love you, DarkMint. And thanks for getting the police; I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn't.

“I'm just glad that you aren’t hurt.” She said, nuzzling his cheek. “Now, lets go get that shower.”

Following her upstairs into the bathroom, he noticed that it was much bigger than the one in his old home.

“Well damn Dark, we've got a big enough bathroom for the both of us.” He said to the blushing mare.

“Yes. I imagine we'll be using it quite often.” She said, giving him a sultry wink as she turned on the hot water, letting the tub fill up. She teasingly flicked her tail, briefly exposing her more private anatomy, causing Silver to blush.

“That isn’t fair, you know.” He said to her as he slapped her flank, causing her to let out a sharp squeak. He whistled, backing away just as she tried to kick him. He helped her into the tub, and she came to him; nuzzling close to the stallion who had won her heart.

“I love you, Silver she said to him. I love you to Silver said kissing her as she and him stayed in the tub for awhile before heading to bed

The next morning

DarkMint(pov)

Waking up, she noticed that her cuddle buddy wasn’t in bed, so she got up and caught a whiff of cooking food. Is he cooking for me? She thought while giggling, as she made her way down stairs.

“Good morning love.” Silver said, as he continued to cook pancakes and eggs.

“Well this is a shock.” She said. “Normally I make food, but I'm not going to complain.” She added with a smile.

“Well, I hope you're hungry,” He stated. “Because this will be breakfast and lunch for today, so get it while its hot!”

The spread was great, and she ate without missing a beat.

“Well then, shall we get our day started my dear Silver? Because we need to get some taste testers for our drinks and food.”
“But of course, my love!” He chimed with a smile.

They made it to the tavern, only to find the mayor waiting for them...

ok this chapter leads up to chapter 7 and 8 so enjoy the ride

chapter 5 the job and a major headache

“Well hello Mayor Mare! What can we do for you today?”

“I wanted to check on how close to the opening is!” she replied.

“It’ll open tonight. I just need to finish a couple of adjustments and meet some of the staff I hired the day I came to Ponyville.” Dark said.

“Well that makes sense. Will you allow me to attend the opening?” She asked in a sweet voice.

“Well of course!” Silver said entering from the side “We would love to have you!”

“I look forward to it. So I shall see you two tonight!” Mayor Mare said leaving the two to start working..

“Shall we get started love?” Silver piped up giving her flank a smack before heading inside.

“Indeed. Let’s make sure everything is in order. Starting from drinks and food to TVs and other things.” Dark said who started checking on the drinks.

“Hey Dark! Why don’t I bring my drinks and add them into the collection we have here, so we won’t run out right away? Silver proposed.

“Think you can handle it alone? I want to stay here and work before tonight.”

“Yeah I can do it.” Hell, I’ll ask Twilight to help me since she’s the neighborhood magician. He thought.

Finding the library was easy to find in fact, knocking on the door and waiting a moment seeing the place turn red as a very angry Twilight busted down the door with spike running for his life.

Poor little guy. Silver mentally stated.

“Uh… Twi, did I catch you at a bad time?” He asked.

“Nope! I’m just letting off some steam.” She answered as she turned back to normal.

“So what may I help you with?”

Silver explained everything to her as they made their way to his home. They quickly gathering all the bottles and putting them in boxes.

“Thanks for the help Twi! I mean, I don’t know what I would have done without your help.” Silver said.

“Well, I love helping others so it is no problem. Shall we make it back to the tavern?” He nodded as the tavern came into view from the side.

“Dark, I am back!” Silver said noticing that Dark was lying on the couch asleep. “Silly mare must of tired herself out. Not that I blame her. I’d be tired too working all day like she did.”

Putting the bottles on the shelves was fun yet annoying. Twilight handled giving the bottles to at a time placing them on the racks. “I think we did good today Twilight. W e got the shelves packed.”

“Indeed. We did great!” She said noticing that Dark was finally waking up.

“Well hello dear. How was your sleep?” Silver asked his mare kissing her gently.

“It was nice, but lonely without my stallion here to keep me warm.” She replied.

“ Hehe, I love you Dark.”

After Twilight had said bye, Silver and Dark put the sign up and started to give the tavern a much clean.

“So Dark. Tomorrow is opening day and I am excited!” Silver said as he swept the floor and mopped it.

“Yeah, it’s time to call it a night, We have a long day ahead of us. So, no staying up late!” She winked passing by him.

She is a tease I swear it she makes my heart jump.

He slapped her flank when she was not looking and whistled when she looked at him,

“You’re not innocent. Trust me, I saw it.”

“You take the fun out of it.” He said then kisses her deeply on the lips as they left the tavern heading home.

Opening up the door to the house, Silver and Dark made it upstairs to the bed they shared.

“Well, you want to take a hot shower before we go to bed? Tomorrow is going to be the grand opening and I am looking forward to it!” Dark said in a cheery voice.

“Sounds good love. Lead the way.” She did as she flicked her tail up showing her prize to his eyes and started to drool.

“Keep drooling and your mouth will fall off.” she said giggling noticing he was fully hard from her display.

******

The bath was amazing and so is Silver’s massages. Dark thought to herself. “I never knew a stallion can be so this gentle. I swear Silver. You have me spoiled already with your massages. It’s the best I had in ages!”

“Well, I love giving massages it calms me down and I need to be. Thanks to some teasing mare named Dark Mint.” He said shooting her a wink and a smack on the flank.

After the massage they stayed in the bath for a while cuddling and kissing, “Silver I want you to know that I love you with all I am and that you’re the best thing to come into my life.”

“You are also the best thing to come into my life Dark. I was not sure how or what to do, but being with you has made it easier to live.”

After the shower they made it into the bed making sure that they dried off before flopping onto the bed then settle back into a cuddle position.

“Mmm! I am so comfy; I don’t want to get up.” Dark said snuggling closer to her stallion as they closed their eyes and dreamt.

Next morning:

Waking up to the smell of food always was a treat for Dark Mint. Loving food but waking up to food and a drink was the topping of the cake for her.

“What smells so delicious this morning love?” Dark asked taking a seat on the stool to the bar as Silver continued to cook.

“It’s a special drink mix I have been working on that goes good with breakfast. It helps waking up all the nerves.”

“Sounds delightful! May I ask when breakfast is going to be ready, because I am really hungry!”

“Soon darling. It is almost done and believe me, I am hungry as well!”

After ten minutes they was sitting at the table said there thanks digging into the great feast that Silver had made.

“Hmmm! I knew you were a great cook, but wow! Plus I am in love with the drink. You were right! It calms the nerves.”

“I told you so!” Silver said chuckling as he cleaned up the place before heading out the door with Dark Mint in tow.

Making it to the tavern in time with a giant scissors to cut the ribbon; Silver, Dark and Mayor Mare made it to the front of the building where a crowd was gathered around.

“Citizens of Ponyville! I want to say welcome to the new tavern! Without further ado, here is Dark Mint.” Tons of hooves clapped as she made it to the front.

“Thank you mayor! I want to say that it is a pleasure to announce that Night Sky tavern is now officially open for business! So come on in everypony.” The crowds came in as Silver and the rest of the staff became busy with the day.

Saying the place is packed is an understatement in itself. Not after ten minutes open, the place is filled to the brim.

”Argh! Why must the place be this packed. It’s ridiculous.”

“Order up!” Said the cook with Silver retrieving the breakfast for the customer who seemed all too familiar,

“Mr. Shinners, is that you?” Silver asked giving the plate to him.

“Yes it is. It’s good to see you my boy. How have you been?”

“I am great. I got a filly friend and a nice job so I can’t complain.”

“Let me guess, Dark Mint is your filly friend.” Silver nodded as Mr. Shinners chuckled. “Well my boy she is quite the catch, if I may say so.”

“She is the most precious thing in my life. I love her dearly.”

“As you should! She is a strong willed pony, but very fragile from what she told me the day I met her.”

“You know her?” Silver asked shocked while Mr. Shinner nodded.

“I am one of the customers she had back when she started with her first bar. I will say this. Please take care of her. She needs a lot of love.”

“I will! I must get back to work. Don’t want to make anyone else mad!” Silver tipped his hat as he began to daydream while he worked.

“Silver?” Twilight said snapping him out of his daydream. She approached him.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah,” I wonder what I was doing? “What can I get you today?” He asked in a professional tone seeing Twilight giggle.

“I came to visit, if it’s okay?” Silver nodded at her. Twilight took a on the bar stool as he started mixing drinks chatting with her.

The night turned out to be better and a headache when Pinkie came around bugging Dark asking her “What’s this and that?”

Shesh! Can I catch a break from that psychotic mare! I have a damn headache and she is making it worse. Dark thought to herself. “Pinkie, please go somewhere and bug someone else. I am trying to work, but you’re distracting me and giving me a headache.”

“Okie dokie loki!” She said bouncing off.

“I need a drink Silver! Some moonshine, fast please!” He nodded getting to work then handed her two glasses of moonshine. “Thanks babe she said to him!”

“You’re welcome.”

“What’s with pinkie pie bugging ponies?

“She has had too much to drink. I swear.” Silver said shaking his head.

The night dragged on until closing time where it was Dark, Silver and Twilight,

“I am glad today is over!” Dark exclaimed as Silver chuckled.

“I am happy we made money. Would you look at the back room full of bits!” She looked and her mouth went to the ground,

I’ll be damned. He did good for the first night. Dark thought to herself then kissed him deeply.

“Shall we pack up for the night?” I’m tired, I just want to go home and sleep” he nodded. They closed up then made their way home.

“Can I ask you something Silver?” Dark asked and he nodded. “Do you ever think of making love to me? I have been thinking about it since I turned you on last night.

“Yes and no. For one I don’t want you to be uncomfortable doing it with me, if you don’t want to that is.”

“Well, I want to do it with you, if that is ok with you? I need the stress relief plus I’d like to feel your body on mine.”

Making it to the bed they were kissing more passionately than normal. She started to rub his hard shaft kissing him as he started stroking her flank as he patted her lips, rubbing her between the legs. She stroked him, making her way down his body she gave the tip a lick taking it into the mouth sucking his cock. Silver started to hoof her making Dark moan onto his cock making him jump a bit from the vibrations.

After a few minutes, Dark was on her back and Silver gilded himself to her.

“Are you ready?” He asked her. She nodded and he slowly entered her popping her cherry causing blood to dribble between the legs.

“Uh, want me to stop?” he asked her and she shook her head. Silver started to slowly move his body in rhythm with hers as they both moaned in pleasure. “I love you!” Silver said kissing her as he started to buck her faster giving her everything of his. All the passion, all of the love they shared into one.

“Dark, do you want me to cum inside? Silver asked.

�� Go ahead!” she replied smiling.

After ten minutes Silver panted as he came deeply inside her as they both collapsed. I love you they said together falling asleep instantly.

Waking up with Dark’s in hooves was amazing. Silver felt so alive after the love they shared that night. He carefully got out of bed trying not to wake Dark up. He making his way downstairs he started a warming breakfast making eggs and hay bacon with toast and some wine.

He started lighting a candle to make a romantic breakfast as well “I hope she’ll like this. After last night, she deserves it.”

Seeing Dark come down the stairs rubbing her head. “Morning love! Come have some breakfast. Today’s special is eggs, hey bacon, toast and wine. So, pick your poison pretty much.”

“Don’t mind if I do!” Dark said giving him a kiss before settling down. Silver sat across from her.

After breakfast, Silver decided to take a shower before heading out to the tavern. Taking his time cleaning and grooming his mane and body. He started to think of last night’s love making session. Did we really make love? Sure feels like it. He thought to himself.

After a few scrubs, he got out of the shower and got dressed in the official uniform that Rarity made for all of the tavern employees. Making his way out the door for his day to truly begin. He Became nervous as he stared a carriage with no other than his boss sitting inside.

Author's Note

this is a unfinished sneak peak of the chapter

chapter 6 the inventation

chapter 6 the invitation

Note to self never drink moonshine before going to bed . Silver thought to himself as he saw his ex-boss get out of the carriage he was in.

“Thought you could have gotten rid of me so soon didn’t you Silver? Well, I am back and don’t fret. I am here with a peace offering for you and Dark Mint.

“Okay. What is it?” Silver asked in a stern voice.

“I want to invite you and Dark Mint to dinner at the estate in Canterlot for a dinner party. That’s all really!” He said smirking.

“Dark what do you think love?” Silver asked her.

“Only under one condition. You do not try anything while we are at the dinner party and I may let you live.”

“Fair deal. Trust me, I won’t try anything; besides, this is my apology. So, I shall see you two tonight!” He said as he got into the carriage leaving tickets to Canterlot behind.

“I see a trap written all over this.” Dark said shaking her head. Silver nodding agreeing to the mutual thought.

As Silver and Dark made their way to the train station they stopped by the library to have Twilight dig info on Silver’s ex-boss . They told her to tell Berry that he is in charge until they return.

Arriving at the train station they gave the tickets to the booth admin then got on the train heading for Canterlot. “Well it has been ages since I was in Canterlot.” Dark said snuggling up to her stallion.

“Well, I did not want to go back there yet. Not for a while at least, but I am happy as long as your with me.” Silver said to her.

2 hours passed when they arrived in Canterlot. “Wow! This place is huge!” Dark said as she playfully shoved Silver making him giggle to calm his nerves.

“Thanks love I needed that.” He kissed her deeply.

They made it into the open area looking at the castle as well as the riche parts of Canterlot.

This place is amazing! I mean really amazing! I never knew the castle was this enormous! She said.

“Want to see the bar where I worked at? Silver asked.

“Oh can we! I want to see the sights before the party starts. It’ll gives me a chance to plot against him just in case he decides to play dumb and make a fool of you.”

“May I ask for you to be civil Dark?” Silver said. ” I know he made me look like a fool, but he is a nice guy. When he wants to be that is.”

“True! Besides, a party is what we need to start off our relationship, don’t you think?”

“Your right, plus I think Princess Luna will be in attendance. So he better not try anything at all!”

“Are you thinking what I’m thinking love?” Dark asked.

“Yup, I am! Let’s make a fool out of him so that Luna can see how much horse’s ass he really is.

“Holy horse feathers! This place is extravagant! Dark said as she trotted along side Silver Hoof whom seemed nervous and hyped at the same time,

“Yeah it is!” He replied as he saw some of the celebrities: Facy Pants, the Wonderbolts and DJ-Pon3with Octavia who is a regular in Ponyville.

“Welcome!” Mr. Shinners said as he came up to Silver giving him a hug.

“So, he invited you as well Mr. Shinners? Seeing as you’re a regular, I’, kind of shocked to say the least.”

“Well, he is the one who wanted me here for some announcement later.”

What kind of announcement I wonder. Silver thought to himself. “Well, we’ll find out soon I guess.”

“Fillies and gentlecolts ! Welcome! Please take a seat as I prepare the speech for tonight; and as always I want to give a thank you to Mr.shinners for helping me set up this event. IT is time to speak to a certain pony named Silver Hoof. In ten minutes I will speak again, until then: mingle!”

“That doesn’t sound too good.” Silver said to Dark. She growled in response before snapping to reality by a kiss from Silver’s lips.

“I am going to sit down and relax. Want to join me Silver? Dark asked winking to her colt friend.

Few minutes passed.

“Take a seat!” Said Silver’s former boss. “I am going to say this one thing Silver. You caused me a great deal and I plan on getting you back tonight.”

“What do you plan to do?” Silver asked quickly dismissing the threat.

“By killing your trusted friend: Mr. Shinners. Then, I’d be killing you as well. So, what do you got to say for yourself Silver?”

“Well, for one. I will not be tolerating this behavior.” Luna said in her royal Canterlot voice as hell broke loose with assassins everywhere.

“Kill Silver first!” One pony said pointing to both the couple who stood their ground bucking assassins as they came by.

“This is stupid!” Silver said bucking one pony in the head and then knocking some sense into another.

“I agree sugar cube!” AJ replied appearing from the trees whom landed on one ponies head. Dark laughed at the display.

“Thank the heavens for messenger birds, right?” AJ said winking to Mr. Shinners who was also trying to hold his ground against the assault.

THE AFTERMATH

“Well, this sucks!” Dark said to both stallions and the other mare who was locked in combat with the final assailant.

“So, how do you like that fact that you are going to die?” Silver’s ex-boss said laughing with a sword in his mouth.

“ You planned this all along? To kill Silver?” Dark yelled pulling out the hidden blade she kept near her at all times.

“No Dark! Let me handle him.” Silver said stepping in front of her taking the hit then falls onto his rump.

“So, Silver playing the hero for an ex of mine. How annoying! I should of killed you before her, but no. You insisted on living; though, this is perfect! The both of you will die and I will be free of the past from both my lives.

“This is how it ends!” Mr. Shinners said. “Spare these two and can take my life.”

“I don’t think so! They will die!” Silver’s former boss said. His blade came to a stop when he swung it at Mr. Shinners taking the blow intended for the couple.

“MR.SHIINERS! NO!” Silver yelled as his ex-boss ran towards the night as the police stallions raided the party.
