Burning Skyway


T

The Apple family is renowned across Equestria for their talents regarding the growth, harvesting, selling, and preparation of apples. From raw produce to baked goods, juices, soft and even mulled cider, their products are enjoyed by all except those unfortunate few who are allergic to apples. As such the family names follow a pattern covering a large number of their apple types and derivatives.

Speaking of derivatives, Applejack is named for a less common form of apple product, one only legally imbibed by those who have reached a certain age of responsibility in Equestria.

Even the newly minted Princess Twilight Sparkle, many times savior of Equestria, inventor of new magic, former holder of the Element of Magic, and the embodiment and example of the principles of Honesty, Loyalty, Kindness, Generosity and Laughter, and icon of leadership still must obey the laws of the land, even when her curiosity has gotten the better of her.
Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately) tonight she is celebrating the birthday which marks her transition. No longer restricted to the lightweight alcohol of meads, beers, and mildly hard cider, a new world of distilled spirits has been opened up for her to experience.
Applejack has brought one of her distaff cousins along with her, a certain Peach Schnapps, to help her with the celebration.
There's just a small hint of sex but I felt I should be on the safe side with the checkbox. There are also lots of alcohol induced consequences.

That description is WAY too long for a 2,000 word story.

When I wrote the description I was planning on probably 1000 more words worth of drunk Twilight but I decided in the end most of the night was best left to the reader's imaginations.

ground quartz cut with PGA

Should spell out what PGA is unless it's a very well-known acronym.

Unicorns and pegasii

One i in pegasi.

yall

y'all; it generally refers to a group of people (you all), although it is used by some to refer to an individual.

The merciless beams of an angry sun goddess

Brilliant!

I don't remember any of the books about hangovers talking about your mouth feeling quite this... fuzzy.

And . . . you went there. Should've seen it coming from the beginning.

I've seen pegasii in another place as correct (mythology book for some rpg I think) but will accept the current popular spelling with respect to MLP.

I've know that PGA was pure grain alcohol since I was in middle school but it's a minor fix and does scan better anyway.

As someone from the southern US, I'm very familiar with y'all usin' yall and where Applejack is using yall is exclusively singular (she's speaking to Twilight) but based on the writing guide I used in college (yes, they covered that yall and y'all are actually both correct for singular or plural usage.

And yes, that's very very strange but then so is the English language in general and American regional dialects in particular.

But I changed it to y'all because in hindsight it looks a bit better I think. I also found a couple of other minor errors while scanning through.

As for going there? That was the first line I wrote...:derpytongue2:

I can't clop to this...
