//------------------------------// // Chapter Nine // Story: Save The World, Duh! // by TheKing2001 //------------------------------// Roseluck We all crowded around the statue as Sunset took a shot of some form alcohol in a loud bar next to Lemon Hearts and the pony Lyra. “Drunk Sunset is the best Sunset!” Rainbow cheered as Sunset continued her drinking game with her two school friends. Thankfully Rarity and Applejack were both already asleep. “Damn!” Cloudkicker whistled in awe as Sunset kept taking shots as Twinkleshine and Amethyst cheered her on. I never knew the drinking age is seventeen in Equestria. Sunset had made sure to reassure us of that fact. “I never knew Sunset had such a good alcohol tolerance,” Lily muttered in shock as Twilight joined her in drinking from a bottle. “She doesn’t,” Pinkie stated as we all glanced at her. “This is the first time she’s ever been drunk before remember?” I had forgotten Sunset had said that as well. “I didn’t know Twilight drank either,” I muttered as very drunk Lemon Hearts and a equally very drunk Moondancer started dancing together on the bar as Sunset and the rest of her group cheered them on. Berry Punch laughed as she hastily moved some glasses out of the way as some stallions and mares alike threw golden coins at them. I had a feeling this wasn’t the first time someone danced on her bar. “At least they are technically in a safe atmosphere,” Daisy pointed out and nodded to the Equestrian Bon Bon watching over them from a corner booth. “There’s the pony Bon Bon.” “And based on what I know about our Bon Bon, she’s super responsible,” Fluttershy whispered shyly as Raindrops nodded. I faintly made out Equestrian Cloudkicker and Sprinkle Medley along with White Lightning with beers in a corner booth. “Sunset is so going to be sick as hell in the morning,” Cloudchaser snorted as she fell back onto her pillow in the tent. “Never mind, looks like it’s going to be now.” Sunset staggered over to a door with a mare on it and stumbled into a stall. “Bleurgh!” Sunset groaned as she vomited into the toilet. I personally didn’t know ponies had toilets. I always assumed they found a bush or something like the ponies here do. Then again, our worlds ponies aren’t sentient like Sunset and the others are. “Fucking Celestia.” “Thank god Principal Celestia wasn’t here to hear that,” I muttered as the others nodded their agreement. We had gotten her permission to stay up with our tent around the statue under the guise of Sunset tasking us to be on the look out for something coming through. Sunset staggered back out to her seat with Lyra and Twilight. Twinkleshine and Lyra had stumbled off to the booth with Bon Bon smirking in the corner. Moondancer flicked her tail seductively as the stallions whistled as she kissed Lemon Hearts on the neck. “I never thought in a million years I’d see my former teachers drunk kissing on a bar,” Our Twilight muttered as she pushed her glasses up. Sunset turned a bright shade of red as Moondancer bit Lemons neck and the yellow unicorn moaned as Sunset hastily looked away. “I -hic- have to get home,” Sunset slurred as she stumbled up. “I got a wife at home.” “Wife?” We all echoed in shock as we looked at each other. “Girlfriend! Marefriend! Partner!” Sunset stammered out as she staggered for the door. “Think it’s time we head home too,” Twilight agreed as she climbed to her hooves. “See ya Twilight!” Berry called out as the rest of the group stumbled out the door. “Remember, don’t fly home! Flying drunk is illegal. Don’t get a DUI!” Bon Bon slammed her glass down and followed them out the door. “See ya Berry!” Bon Bon called out. “Bye Bon Bon!” Berry called back over the loud music as she polished some glasses off. “I feel like my stomach is going to explode,” Minuette groaned as she stumbled down the street. “Don’t worry!” Equestrian Lyra reassured her. “Our daughters are with Merry May. You call can come to my house. Well Twi Twi and Sunny has the castle.” “Daughters?” Raindrops asked in confusion. “We are so calling you Twi Twi now,” Rainbow tossed Twilight a mischievous grin. “We are so not doing that,” Twilight grumbled as she folded her arms. Minuette stumbled forward and her eyes widened as Bon Bon caught her before she fell. “Let’s get you home,” Bon Bon muttered as she nodded at Lyra and Twinkleshine, Moondancer and Lemon Hearts. “Have a good one Princess. You as well Sunset.” “Bye Bonnie!” Sunset called out as she and Twilight stumbled into the castle. The two parted ways as Sunset staggered into her room and fell face forward into bed, rolling onto her side and kissing Derpys head. “Goodnight Derpy.” “Wish I had a relationship like them,” I muttered under my breath. “Or well any relationship.” “Don’t worry,” Raindrops patted me on the shoulder subtly. “Me too. Not many guys like me because I’m a grumpy stern bitch. Especially with my brother, Snails.” “We should form a single girls club,” I whispered into her ear. “Maybe!” Raindrops laughed as a blue mare pulled a wagon in front of Twilights castle. She groaned as she unhitched herself from it and trotted inside the building. “Starlight!” The mare called out and we all froze at the familiar voice. “Trixie has arrived home!” “That’s what Trixie looks like?” Blossomforth asked in shock as we all stared in stunned silence at the blue unicorn mare. She tossed the cape and hat onto a table in the library and levitated a blanket and a pillow on the the couch. “Trixie should probably not have shouted that at two in the morning,” Trixie said sheepishly as she snuggled under the blanket. “I’m exhausted. I broke my freaking bed in the wagon.” “Strange,” Daisy muttered. “This Trixie has no problem with speaking in first person whereas ours doesn’t.” “Trixie sometimes does,” Pinkie admitted as she yawned. “Only in extreme circumstances.” “Huh,” Lily mused. “Never saw that coming.” “I’m going to bed,” I announced and slipped inside my sleeping bag. “Goodnight.” Daisy glanced back and me and nodded. “Goodnight sis.”
