Sunset
I rolled onto my back as my tail tickled my legs and groaned. Hangovers are the worst and eating isn’t helping. For ponies, eating sugary foods helps us get rid of hang overs but the cookies we all ate didn’t work. Nor did the water.
“Still hungover?” Aunt Berry chuckled as she trotted with Derpy into the room with myself and Sea Swirl along with the others.
“How did you know?” I asked in fear. Hopefully she didn’t tell anyone.
“I drink for fun a lot,” Aunt Berry said dryly as she gave me a knowing look. “I know what a hangover looks like.”
“You didn’t tell anyone right?” I asked hopefully as Aunt Berry nodded and I sighed in relief.
“It’s technically legal age here but the only people who know is Derpy and myself,” Aunt Berry answered as she sat down next to me. Derpy wrapped a wing around me as she folded her forelegs under her
“What happened to you guys?” Earth Lyra asked as the rest of my friends entered the room. I groaned and waved a hoof around.
“Hangover,” Equestrian Lyra simply as she flipped onto her head. “Hey look, I’m gonna balance on my horn- woah!” She fell face first and crashed into Octavia and Lavender. “Woah you guys look weird upside down.”
“You’re gonna kill yourself one day in a stupid fashion and I won’t attend your funeral.” Twinkleshine gasped and glared at Moondancer.
“Moondancer!”
“You wound me you know that?” Equestrian asked in mock hurt as she placed a hoof over her heart. “At least I didn’t have sex with Lemon Hearts. Sex with friends is bad.”
“I did not have sex with Lemon Hearts!” Moondancer shouted as I burst out laughing. “I’d rather die than have sex with her.”
“What is that supposed to mean?” Lemon Hearts demanded as she glared at Moondancer.
“Exactly as it sounds,” Moondancer answered with a hoof roll. “I wouldn’t have sex with you.”
“I don’t know if I should feel offended or not,” Lemon Hearts muttered under her breath as she ate a cookie in three crunches.
“I did not have sexual relations with that woman!” Vinyl called out as we all started laughing. Sea Swirl and the others from Equestria gave us all confused looks as I rolled onto my side laughing.
“Damn it Vinyl!” Earth Lyra laughed as she slammed a hoof on the ground.
“I don’t get it,” Twinkleshine raised an eyebrow as her eyes flicked to each of us.
“I’ll tell you later,” I said through my fits of laughing. I shakily stood to my hooves and kissed Derpy. “Aha! Finally got one back.”
“Now that you don’t smell like alcohol, vomit and sweat, I’m more than happy to kiss you,” Derpy commented with a smirk.
“I don’t feel well,” Earth Lyra muttered.
“Nor do I,” Bon Bon added as Starlight trotted in with Trixie. Octavia, Vinyl, Derpy and Earth Amethyst all chimed in with the same thing.
“Now that you mention it, nor do I,” I frowned slightly.
“You’re hungover,” Aunt Berry pointed out with a small smile. “It’s probably that.”
“It doesn’t feel like a hangover,” I admitted as I stood up. “It’s more like drained.”
“Probably the hangover,” Moondancer pushed her glasses up. “Never getting drunk again.”
“Famous last words,” Sea Swirl quipped with a grin. Moondancer folded up a nearby news paper in her magic and swatted at her with it. “Gah! No fair!”
We laughed as the newspaper followed Sea Swirl as she galloped around the room before she grabbed it with her magic and threw it in the trash can.
“No news papers for you!” Sea Swirl proclaimed as she held a hoof out. “All the news paper belong to me now!”
“We will see,” Moondancer scoffed and rolled her eyes as she adjusted her sweater.
“How on earth can you wear that love?” Octavia asked as she tugged at Moondancers sweater with a distasteful look. “It’s itchy and falling apart!”
“It is not falling apart!” Moondancer retorted as she pushed Octavias hoof away. “It’s hoofmade and well loved! Not falling apart!”
“Uh huh,” Octavia said flatly as she rolled her eyes. “If you say so.”
“I do say so! I made it myself and I’m not about to get rid of it!” Moondancer said adamantly. “I’d like to see you try and take if off of me.” Lightning tensed up and her wings flared out a bit as I placed a restraining hoof on her chest.
“Woah woah woah,” Sea Swirl and Minuette hastily placed their hooves between the two. “Nopony is taking the sweater, Moon. She’s just giving her opinion.”
“Relax everypony,” Equestrian Minuette said nervously as she eyed the two. “Let’s calm down. The cold wars over.”
“You have nuclear weapons here too?” Earth Lyra asked cautiously as she allowed the tension to leave her body and she stood normally.
“No the buck?” Moondancer asked in confusion as she stepped away from Octavia. “The cold war describes the conflict between the pegasi, unicorns and earth ponies that caused the windigos to cover the land in a snowy wasteland.”
“It was really cold!” Minuette chimed in from her place next to Sea Swirl. “Brrr!”
“Please that’s just an old foals tale,” Starlight scoffed and waved a hoof. “I don’t really believe in it.”
“Really?” Spike asked worriedly as he hugged Twilight’s leg. “They sure seem real to me because there’s one right behind you!” Starlight spun around with Trixie and they stared at the windigo floating behind them.
“Everypony run!” Minuette screamed with a giggle and galloped out the room, dragging a protesting Starlight behind her. Equestrian Amethyst blew her off horn as the illusion disappeared as we all started laughing as she gave us a smug smile.
“Nice one,” I snickered as we hoofbumped. “Think she will believe in them now Twi Twi?”
“Heck if I know. One can only hope.”
“Alright I’m going to bed,” Lavender stated as she yawned. “We still on to hang out tomorrow Sea Swirl?” The lilac unicorn beamed and nodded.
“You bet!”
I teleported Derpy and myself to our room with the door locked.
“So,” I drew the word out with a smirk as I traced a hoof on her wing. “Still want me to apologize for making you go to bed alone last night?”
Derpy slowly nodded as I shut the light off.
