Within minutes, they were at Sugar Cube Corner. Strangely, the lights were off.
Violet cautiously opened the door. The purple pony got the shock of her life when the lights turned on, revealing the room to be filled with several ponies and balloons.
“SURPRISE!” cried Pinkie.
Violet raised an eyebrow. “Surprise? You invited me here.” Pinkie didn’t listen and yanked her over to the group of ponies.
“Violet this is; Lyra, Bon Bon, Caramel, Mr Cake, Mrs Cake, Pound Cake, Pumpkin Cake, Doctor Hooves, Derpy, Mayor Mare, Vinyl Scratch, Octavia…” She was cut off when Applejack called out.
“That’s enough Pinkie you’re going to make her dizzy.” Violet shot her look of thanks as the party pony let go of her hoof.
Violet wasn’t sure what to do exactly. She was in a room filled with different kinds of ponies. She didn’t need to worry as Pinkie Pie yanked her over to a Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Pony game. Before Violet realised what was happening, she was blindfolded and spun around.
When she stopped spinning, Violet could hear several voices cheering her on. ‘Aren’t these ponies a little too old for this game?’ she wondered. Violet shrugged and place the tail on the board. Violet could hear the ponies laughing. She pulled her blindfold off and saw that she had placed the tail on the pony’s nose. Violet started laughing at her silly mistake. The DJ, Vinyl Scratch had started to play music on her beatbox.
“Oooh, I love this song! Dance off!” cried Pinkie. She then yanked Violet over to the dance floor. Several ponies had started to dance. Violet didn’t want to just stand there awkwardly so she started to dance. Eventually she didn’t care if she was being watched and had lost herself in the groove. “Hey, nice moves Violet.” said a familiar voice. Violet stopped dancing and turned around to see Discord and Fluttershy standing there.
“Hey Discord, when did you get here?” The draconequus pulled out a pocket watch with squiggly hands.
“Just now,” he said. He then saw the dress she was wearing. “Hey, nice dress Violet. Curtesy of Rarity I presume.”
Violet nodded.
“You look beautiful Violet.” said Fluttershy.
Violet blushed. “Thanks, now are we just going to stand here or are we going to party!” The violet pegasus started dancing once more and motioned for Fluttershy and Discord to join her. The pair shrugged and started dancing with Violet. The rest of the party went great. In the middle of dancing, Violet approached by a yellow stallion with a brown mane.
“Oh hey, Caramel isn’t it?” she asked, trying to remember the stallions name.
“Yes, your Violet right?” Violet nodded.
“Um, Violet. I was wondering if you would like to dance?” said Caramel. Violet blinked in shock. She didn’t know exactly how to tackle the situation.
“I-um, maybe later.” she blurted out. Caramel’s face fell slightly.
“I understand, you’re new in town. Enjoy the party.” The stallion then walked away, leaving Violet stunned.
“I see you have attracted a few males.” said a voice.
Violet jumped but calmed down when she saw Rarity. “Yeah, I don’t know why though. Boys never hit on me when I was human and now I’m suddenly the prettiest girl in the building.” Violet explained.
“I’m not at all surprised darling. By pony standards you aren’t unattractive,” The unicorn inquired. “The least you could do is dance with a few of them.”
“There not even my species!”
“Yes they are, Discord made you into a pony, therefore you are just as every bit of pony as they are.” Rarity explained.
Violet rolled her eyes. She started looking around the room, until she spotted someone. There was a stallion breakdancing. He was wearing a navy blue leather jacket, but he was a pegasus. His coat was golden yellow and his mane was a vibrant blue. When Violet saw the stallion’s eyes, which were an icy blue, she felt her heart start beating faster and her mouth dropped.
“Who…is…that?” she asked.
“Oh that’s Comet Blitz, he’s one of the local weather ponies.” said Rarity. The unicorn then saw the exasperated look on Violets face and giggled.
“Looks like somepony has taken a liking to him, huh?” Violet slowly nodded. Rarity glanced over and saw that Comet Blitz had spotted Violet and winked at her. Violet blushed when she saw this.
“It looks like Comet has got his eye on you too. Go and ask him to dance.” Violet shot Rarity a look of shock.
“I can’t! What if I mess up?!”
“Violet, wake up and smell the roses, no pun intended. You won’t mess up, just go. Before somepony else asks him.” Rarity nudged Violet in the direction of the stallion.
Violet was still weak in the knees, but awkwardly walked over to the stallion. “Hi…my names Violet,” she began.
Comet Blitz gave her a friendly smile. “Violet, that’s a pretty name, my names Comet Blitz.” Violet thought she could melt at the sound of his voice. “A pretty name for a pretty mare.”
Violet blushed and rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. “Um…Comet, would you…like to dance?” Violet asked. Comet smiled at her before kissing her hoof, sending shivers down Violets spine.
“It would be my pleasure, Miss Violet.” As the two ponies made their way over to the dance floor, they passed by Rarity who gave Violet the pony equivalent of a thumbs up. Vinyl Scratch also saw this and put on a slow dance. Ponies all around were starting to grab partners and leading them to the dance floor. Somewhere in the crowd, Fluttershy was talking to Discord when the slow music played. Discord glanced at Fluttershy and gulped. ‘This is awkward, where’s Violet when you need her?!’ he thought. He looked around frantically until he spotted Violet, dancing with a stallion.
He shot Violet a ‘help me’ look. To his luck Violet spotted him and read his mind. She tilted her head in the direction of Fluttershy and gave him an encouraging smile. Discord gulped and turned around to Fluttershy.
“Uh…Fluttershy,” he started. The pegasus looked up at him, her teal eyes met his red and yellow ones.
“Yes, Discord?” she said. Discord rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
“Um…you...uh…wanna dance?” he said, holding out his paw. Fluttershy gave him a small smile.
“Sure.”
Discord felt that he would melt at the feel of her touch as he led her into a slow waltz. But due to her small size, he picked her up as if she was a child and swayed her to the rhythm.
Comet was also leading Violet into a waltz, the disguised human caught a glimpse of Fluttershy and Discord dancing. Violet mentally grinned at the sight.
Comet surprised her by dipping her. “Where are you from?” he asked.
“Manehatten.” Violet replied. Comet then swayed her around for a few more minutes, asking Violet questions about herself.
“So you’re a perfume maker?”
“That is what I came to Ponyville for.” said Violet.
“You know Violet; you seem like a cool mare. Wanna catch up, you know get to know each other more?” asked Comet.
Violet blushed. “Sure.” she said.
Comet grinned. “Great, how about Friday 10 o’clock?”
“I’ll check with my roommates.” said Violet.
“Oh, they wouldn’t happen to be Fluttershy and that Discord fellow, would they?”
Violet stopped dancing and gawked at the stallion.
“How did you…”
“I saw you talking to them,”
Violet shrank slightly. “You probably think I’m a weirdo for living with Discord.”
Comet blinked at her, then started laughing. “No no no, I think that having the Lord of Chaos and the Element of Kindness as roommates is the best thing ever. Sure Discord did horrible things in the past, but that was a thousand years ago. And the chocolate rain is the best. Could you tell him I said that?” he asked.
Violet chuckled. “Will do, so Friday right?”
“Friday, pick you up at your place.” “Do you know where it is?” “Course I do, it’s that cottage by the Everfree Forest.”
Violet smiled, said her goodbyes and went to look for her roommates. She found the two still waltzing. Violet tapped Discord on the shoulder.
“Should we go home down, everypony’s leaving.”
She was right, at least half the guests had gone home.
“Sure, come on Flutterbuddy, let’s go home.” he said.
