“It looks kinda funny.”
“Oh man up Fluttershy! Just wash it all down and you’ll be fine!”
“U-umm…okay, if you say so.” With a strong but firm swing, Fluttershy lifted her glass and emptied its contents. She paused for a moment, hoping to get acquired to the taste. She did not. “It’s…nice.”
Rainbow Dash looked in disbelief. “Nice? That’s it? C’mon Fluttershy! That’s like your…second answer to everything!”
“But I have never seen this drink before.”
“Neither have I. That’s why I brought you here to try it with me. Somepony told me that this was a totally awesome drink. So for someone as totally awesome as me, I just had to try it!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed with a hint of pride. “So tell me how it’s like Fluttershy!”
“I…I don’t know how to describe it.”
“Well can you at least tell me if it’s okay?”
“It’s…nice.”
Losing her temper, Rainbow Dash shoved aside her stool and hovered above the pink maned Pegasus. “You know what Fluttershy!? You’re such a-!” The rainbow maned Pegasus could already see tears forming in her friend’s bright blue eyes. Immediately Rainbow Dash killed her rage and descended onto the ground. “…No don’t cry Fluttershy…It’s just that I-I’ve been really stressed lately and… You know what; let’s drink it together on the count of three.”
“But I’ve already-”
“Yeah I know, but it’ll be more fun if we have it together.”
“But!”
“One, two,”
“Wait-”
“THREE!”
Wasting no time, Rainbow dash swiftly drank all the contents followed closely by Fluttershy. The contents of both cups went down quickly, without either of them uttering a word. Fluttershy was the first to break the silence.
“It’s kinda nice when you get used to it.”
“NICE? This thing’s horrible! Now I understand why you didn’t-”
“Ummm…. Try it again.” Fluttershy interrupted. “It really is quite nice when you try it…the second time.”
Rainbow Dash could hardly believe the words she was hearing, especially it coming from Fluttershy. “If you say so…” Rainbow Dash refilled her glass quarter full with the orange, yellow coloured fluid. Hesitating, expecting the worst. She drank all the fluid this time with a different expression displayed upon her face. “Well…It has a nice strong aftertaste.”
Fluttershy’s face lit up. “That’s exactly how mine felt too!” Sharing their same experiences, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy continued to gulp down bottle after bottle of the same liquid, each time losing sanity as each bottle was emptied. With difficulty, Fluttershy hastily counted the number of beer bottles laid out across their table.
“Ummm…Ra-a-ainbow Dash, how many have we drunk…?”
“Dunno…Count them yourself.”
Fluttershy realised she did not feel like herself. She had an overwhelming sensation of passing out. She could hardly keep her balance too. What is this feeling? She thought to herself. Never have I had this feeling from doing, well anything. She took a glance at her friend who was experiencing the exact same thing.
“Rainbow, how do you feel?”
“Well…I’m…fine…”
“Are you…sure?”
“Yes…I-” There was a long pause. Eventually nothing came out of the cyan coated Pegasus’s mouth.
“Well…, it’s getting late and if it’s okay I’ll be heading home now.”
“Yeah! You do what you like!”
Surprised by Rainbow Dash’s reaction, Fluttershy promptly left her seat. She didn’t even remember the name of the building, or how she got there in the first place. Upon reaching the exit she could not help but notice a huge florescent sign displaying the buildings name. “…bar” She could barely read out the words. She took a shaky look at Rainbow Dash who was still guzzling down bottles of the liquid.
She stepped outside onto the cool night. She felt a little stronger now. Fluttershy clumsily proceeded onto her journey home enjoying the soft breezes brushing along her mane and face. A gurgling sound came from her stomach. She did not know what it was. Paralysed by the feeling, she stood upon the walkway, frozen. An overwhelming feeling of nausea swept across her head. Almost immediately she found herself spewing gallons of orange-yellow liquid, along with many other unidentified solids.
