It was a beautiful Saturday morning in the small town of Ponyville. Princess Celestia's sun was beginning to rise over the horizon and the citizens were beginning to awaken to start the day, unlike our residential librarian Twilight Sparkle. The ever punctual, ever faithful student of Princess Celestia was still sleeping in bed. She was currently sprawled out in blissful sleep and snoring with drool running down the side of her mouth. This was the ultimate state of peacefulness, until the sun's rays started to seep through the blinds causing the purple pony to stir awake.
"Mphmm," Twilight groaned as she tossed and turned in bed, trying to block the light entering her room. She slowly opened her eyes and sat up, grabbing her head.
"Augh my head is aching. What happened last night?"
Glancing over to her nightstand she noticed a medium sized bag.
"Oh what's this now? I don't remember this being here," she wondered, grabbed the bag and opened it. "What the?! Its full of bits?!"
It didn't take long before she started panicking. Did she steal them? Or maybe robbed some poor pony at magic point last night? She would have thought of even more scenarios but her pounding headache prevented her from thinking clearly. As she still held her head in pain.
"Come on Twilight," she said to herself as she got off the bed and headed towards her bathroom. "Let’s take a nice relaxing bath, pop some pain relievers and we'll be feeling like a whole new pony."
She turned the faucet. Steaming hot water filled the tub and she went over to her medicine cabinet, but the reflection in its mirror gave her halt. She paused to take a look at herself. Her mane was a mess and her eyes bloodshot, a perfect match for how she felt.
"Heh, you've seen better days, haven't you Twilight?" She asked herself and grabbed some pills and a cup of water. She swallowed the pills and drank the water, sighing in satisfaction, "Ahh, much better."
She turned off the water and got into the tub, allowing the hot water to soothe her muscles and her mind.
"Mmm, this is so relaxing," she said and leaned back. Her eyes started to droop slowly, and soon she fell asleep again.
Yesterday night, 8:30 pm
"Hmm I don't know girls," Twilight said, "I mean, a girls night out sounds fun and all but I was going to stay home and read some books and maybe do a little reorganizing."
"Twilight darling, everypony needs to have a little fun every once in awhile, and you're long overdue for that," replied Rarity, "so come with us, it’ll be fun."
"Yeah, don't be a buzzkill Twilight," Rainbow Dash mocked her.
Pinkie Pie started bouncing around excitedly, "Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! I could sure use a night off after the three parties I threw last week and two full days of foalsitting the Cake twins."
"So you relax from throwing parties by partying even more?" Rainbow Dash questioned.
"Basically," Pinkie replied mid-bounce.
"So ya comin’ with us, sugarcube? We’ll understand if ya don't wanna come," Applejack said.
Twilight sat down on a chair, mulling it over while her friends looked on happy but expectantly. It had been some time since she did anything with her friends and she hadn’t planned to do anything else today.
"Sure why not. I'll go with you guys," Twilight made up her mind.
"Oh boy, tonight is going to be so wonderful," Fluttershy said in between the others’ cheers.
Twilight woke up from her sleep. She had no idea what had happened afterwards but she assumed that she just had a night out with her friends. Now that her hangover was nearly gone she turned her attention back to the bag of bits that sat on her nightstand. Just where exactly did she get that?
"Hmm, I wonder if Spike knows something about it. And speaking of Spike," Twilight sniffed the air. Something was smelling delicious. "I smell breakfast. And it smells like… pancakes!"
After letting the water drain from the tub and stopping by her room to get the bag of bits, the purple unicorn headed downstairs where her breakfast awaited.
"Morning Spike," Twilight greeted him.
"Morning Twilight," Spike replied in between stuffing his face with pancakes.
"Morning honey," Trixie greeted her, flipping a pancake on the skillet.
Twilight sat down next to Spike, waiting for her pancakes. "Morning Trixie."
It didn't take her long to figure out something wasn’t right.
"Uh, Trixie?" Twilight looked confused, “What are you doing in my house?"
“Making pancakes," she replied, hovered a spatula and flipped over a pancake with it.
"I can see that Trixie, but why here? And did you just call me honey?"
Trixie turned around and used her magic to float a stack of pancakes over to Twilight's empty plate. She was wearing a white apron that said A Kissie for your Cook Trixie.
"Well I live here now. So I thought I should make breakfast, now that we're married."
"Wait, wait wait wait," Twilight replied shaking her head. "We got married? That's not possible! Spike, tell her that we're not married!"
"Twilight, you married Trixie and she lives with us now," Spike said and grabbed some more pancakes.
Twilight faced Trixie again with an assured look, "See, Trixie! I didn't marry you—Wait, what?!"
"You married Trixie and she lives here now," Spike repeated, "See, here's the wedding certificate." He held up a piece of paper and pointed at Twilights name. "There's your name right here."
Twilight felt her headache coming back. "Then I guess that this bag of bits is yours then?"
"No, it’s yours," Trixie said and placed more pancakes on a plate, "you even paid for the ceremony and everything, although Trixie is still surprised that you had so much money from last night. You even woke up Princess Celestia during the middle of the night so that she could perform the ceremony. You still never told Trixie where you got the money though."
Twilight had a thousand yard stare. "I did WHAT?!," she asked breathlessly.
In all the years that Twilight knew Princess Celestia, she was always a kind, loving ruler and like a second mother to her—but she knew one thing, wake her up during the middle of the night and you will face the fury of the sun goddess. Even her sister dares not to wake her from her slumber lest all hope will be lost.
But Twilight was still there. She must have done something that made the princess decide to spare her… or did she?
"Well, Trixie shall head to the market and buy some groceries. She will be making something special tonight," she said, taking the bag of money off the table and heading to the front door.
"THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE SHALL RETURN SHORTLY!" She threw a smoke bomb on the floor and disappeared only to come running back a moment later to shut the door, "Sorry about that, honey."
"So, does this make you Twilight Lulamoon or her Trixie Sparkle?" Spike joked.
Twilight only groaned in response. What had happened last night? She needed to find her friends, maybe they could help her if they weren't too wasted themselves. "Spike, I'm going out, I'll be back later!"
Twilight left the house for a few seconds only to come back and sit back down at the table. She grabbed a couple of the pancakes that her wife or husband or whatever made for breakfast and puts them on her plate.
"First I'm going to devour these pancakes, then I’ll find out what happened last night!"
Off to a good start so far.
....okay you are the 3rd story...maybe 4th... that I've read...to pull off getting added to fave's as of the first chapter! Your premise is fabulously fantastic, and I look forward to laughing loudly while rolling around on yonder floor.
...We really need a Luna emote.
5051901 Oh you. And we do need a Luna emote
5051943 Does this pleases Trixie?
Oh this is going to be fun. I love how Trixie is completely okay with this. And she cooks, which I support because you can't live the traveling life for long without picking up basic skills.
A few missing words here and there and some tense inconsistencies, but otherwise good. Will follow.
5052399 Mooncalf commented on my story?! I-I'm not worthy. Now I must make sure that your fav was not in vain. I will work hard to get this story to your divine standers.
I'm SO not worthy
Another fab story by James Burton! As much as I hate same gender ships (just doesn't seem right in the cannon), I will fav and see what happens.
5052803 I'm just branching out and trying new things. A lot of people like this story. I WILL NOT let you all down! Lets do this! Oh and thanks ButtonMash glad to see your still around.
5052829 likewise. So, what brought this story idea upon your head?
5052862 Well to tell you the truth. I have no idea. It just came into my head one day and here we are. Then again I have been reading some Twixie fics and tried to see if I could do something new.
5052862 If I had to take a guess, it would be the quest in Skyrim where the Dragonborn gets drunk, goes on an crazed adventure, get's a wife, and wakes up the next morning with no memory of what happened the previous night.
5052912 oh yeah, the quest to get the Sanguine Rose? Love that one!
Man this awesome, followed. BTW wouldn't trixie become twilight trixie
5052978 Well in the Hasbro toy line Trixie's last part of her name was Lulamoon. or something.
I have a feeling this is going to be fun and I am looking forward to it.
. . . Well last Friday night in a nutshell.
I definitely want to see more. BUT. It is in dire need of editing. Verb tenses are all over the place, lots of missing commas, and a sentence doesn't necessarily end when the characters stop speaking:
"Moring Spike." Greeted Twilight.
should be
"Morning, Spike," greeted Twilight.
I would say to get some proofreaders and run stuff past them. Like I said, I want to know how we got here, what happened on what must have been a very wild night for Twi and the girls. As it stands, though, the errors in pretty much every paragraph are distracting, making for a very clunky read.
5053251 It shall be done.
Wow, those verb tenses. That's a little painful to read. HOWEVER, the premise and characterization so far are very good and I'm excited to read more.
5052728 ...
...
...huh? Are you... taunting me?
Also, A Night To Remember was a hilarious quest, at least the first time. And until you realize that Sanguine's scheme to get you to live things up a little resulted in lots of people getting killed.
And then you realize 'getting lots of people killed' is standard procedure for the Daedra.
On another note, I believe that Twilight Sparkle's family are originally neighponese, and have reverse naming order. Her mother is called Twilight Velvet, after all. Thus they are members of the Twilight Clan. Who may or may not be ninjas.
So I guess Trixie might have changed her name to Twilight Trixie, or something. On the other hand, maybe Twilight agreed to take her name. She must have done something very right last night to make Trixie that happy.
You forgot--------GO to the market.
What happens in Las pegasus stays in Las Pegasus?
I sense The Hangover levels of shenanigans happened. This is gonna be good.
Funny stuff dude
5055174 Thank ya kindly
I
Hate
TRIXY!
I don't know why. But it is.
5055183 Eeyup happy to help
The same thing happened to Michael Caine in his youth. He went on a weekend-long bender with Peter O'Toole, and woke up in the apartment of 2 girls he'd never met before to find that he and O'Toole had been permanently banned from a local restaurant. They agreed that it was best if they never tried to figure out what really happened.
I like where this is going, i know the movie this is based off of, if it is based off of one that is, love it. 8/10 Friends Forever (referring to Twilight and Trixie :3) ╔═╦═╦╦═╦═╦═╦═╗╔═╦═╦═╦═╦╦╦═╦═╗

5058303 Try adding a newline after the "(referring to Twilight and Trixie :3)". Otherwise the line doesn't break, and your text-art gets messed up.
You can see what I mean in this screenshot
If you want some honest criticism, JamesBurton, then...
I hear a lot of verb tense errors. Either that, or you're writing in a style i'm just not familiar with.
I like the beginning though. It should be interesting to hear how this proceeds.

This is not how Fluttershy acts. She is the most wimpy character in the universe. The most you would get out of her would be a low pitched whine as she tried to hide in a tree. There is no possible way she would ever say something normal.
very good story. Love the charaterisations.
I have a feeling this is somewhat related to The Hangover
5058852 Thank you for the input. And please just call me James. I do plan to fix that problem.
I think we've all had mornings like this. Minus a spouse and a bag of money. I can't wait to read more.
Okay, who did they leave on the roof?
~Crystalline Electrostatic~
Or maybe she decided Twilight had chosen her own punishment + =
Loved it. I think it was wonderfully written and has a great plot to it
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! THIS IS HILARIOUS! Definitely favoriting! OMG! I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!!!
You know, a few shots of brandy and scotch made this story a lot more amusing, you've got my favorite
I like it, good start. Few punctual errors, but hey, I'm no expert. I hope to read more in future, thumbs up!

I'm gonna be honest here, at first I thought this was related to one of my stories, The Mane 6 Visit A Strip Club, so I read it, and I've gotta say... I love it!
The whole idea of Trixie and Twilight being married is fucking great(spousal fights, inbound?), something with Celestia, and then A random bag full of bits?! You've got something way better than I do.
You can't ever be sure of people on the internet, so sorry about labeling you as a potential story plagiarizer. Please, continue the good work!
Good start. Will keep an eye on it.
"She grabbed a couple of the pancakes that her wife or husband or whatever made for breakfast and puts them on her plate."
shouldn't it be "put"?
I was on board from the beginning, but seeing Trixie was in this has earned you a favorite.
Another one, huh? I just read one of these the other day with Applejack as the second party. Twilight and Trixie is kind of cute, but when these are only half-serious or less they get kind of tiresome. Just have to see where this rabbit hole leads.
"Morning Spike," Twilight greeted him.
"Morning Twilight," Spike replied in between stuffing his face with pancakes.
"Morning honey," Trixie greeted her, flipping a pancake on the skillet.
Me:eh morning?
DAAMMM Twili, what the HELL did you drink last night??
