A Turn of Events

Chapter Twelve

General PoV

Half an hour earlier

“But Tia!”

“No buts, Luna! You still have duties to attend to.”

“That’s not fair! You never let me go out anymore!”

“Because you are falling behind in your duties! You can’t just drop them whenever you please.”

Luna sighed in defeat and looked back down at her dinner. She had received an invitation from Pinkie for Nick and Justin’s ‘Welcome to Ponyville’ party, but she could not convince Celestia to let her go. She was feeling like she was at her wits end, and there was only one other option she could see that might work. But he would not be happy about it.

“Tia, could you excuse me for a moment?”

Celestia gave her a confused glance. “Um, I guess? Are you alright, Luna?”

Walking away, she called back “Of course I am, never better!”

Trotting down one of the many corridors in the castle, Luna-

“Pssssst!”

*AHEM* As I was saying, trotting-

“PSSSSSSST!”

Trot-

“PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST!!!!!”

WHAT?!?

“Um…”

*SIGH* What is it Luna?

“Well, you know that one other option I was thinking of?”

Yes…

“…”

Oh…THAT’s what you meant by ‘he wouldn’t like it’

“Yeah. I need you to cause a distraction so I can sneak out of here.”

…fine. But you owe me BIG time! Besides, once your sister finds out it was me…

“You mean IF she finds out, right?”

No, I mean when.

“…”

Just go, I’ll do it.

“Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!”

Just go already.

“Alright! Guard, fetch me a chariot!”

*SIGH* Here we go…

Back in the royal dining room

Celestia sat patiently at the table waiting for Luna when she heard a loud crash reverberate through the halls. Jumping up to see what it was, she ran into the next room, only to see a large cake sitting on a scale. Looking at the weight, she visibly began sweating. 2000 lbs. She began to back away.

“No! I just got done working off the last one! You can’t make me eat a second one!”

It was then that the doors banged shut, locked, and a large golden fork appeared, sticking out of the cake.

Sighing, Celestia approached the cake and pulled out the fork. Looking up, she muttered “I am so going to get you for this…” and began eating.

Back at the party, current time
Luna’s PoV

“Luna, you made it!”

“Of course I did Nick! I wouldn’t miss your welcoming party for the world!”

“You sure? Celestia told us you might not be able to make it.”

“Don’t worry about it, Justin. I called in a favor…”

That’s an understatement…

I giggled along with Nick and Justin while I thought back to the trick Shadow_Fire might have pulled on Tia. As the party went on, I saw my human comrades getting more and more intoxicated; I thought about how lovely it would be if they went up and sang something. A few minutes (and three drinks later) and they were up on stage, ready to go with some weird headphones hanging from their necks.

After some stumbling, the music kicked in.

Must it take a life for hateful eyes

To glisten once again

Five hundred years like Gelignite

Have blown us all to hell

What savior rests while on his cross we die

Forgotten freedom burns

Has the Shepard led his lambs astray

to the bigot and the gun

Must it take a life for hateful eyes

To glisten once again

Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

Singin' drunken lullabies

I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes

Turn a darker shade of red

And the bullet with this sniper lie

In their bloody gutless cell

Must we starve on crumbs from long ago

Through these bars of men made steel

Is it a great or little thing we fought

Knelt the conscience blessed to kill

Must it take a life for hateful eyes

To glisten once again

Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

Singin' drunken lullabies

Ah, but maybe it`s the way you were taught

Or maybe it`s the way we fought

But a smile never grins without tears to begin

For each kiss is a cry we all lost

Though there is nothing left to gain

But for the banshee that stole the grave

Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

Singin' drunken lullabies

I sit in and dwell on faces past

Like memories seem to fade

No colour left but black and white

And soon will all turn grey

But may these shadows rise to walk again

With lessons truly learnt

When the blossom flowers in each our hearts

Shall beat a new found flame

Must it take a life for hateful eyes

To glisten once again

Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

Singin' drunken lullabies

Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

Singin' drunken lullabies

Singin' drunken lullabies

There was a thunderous applause as Nick and Justin stumbled their way off stage and back to the buffet I was standing at. I was about to tell them how good they did for being drunk (I think, I don’t know how it was supposed to go) until Nick fell face first into the punch bowl. Justin and I burst out laughing as he got up and joined us. The night continued on like this, with drinking and dancing and singing, and we eventually found ourselves sitting out front, talking to a young colt who was surprisingly mature for his age.

Alas, all good things must come to an end as Celestia had finally gotten away from whatever held her up. Although, I did notice her carriage creaking more than usual…

As I suspected, she was not happy, but I managed to convince her to let me stay for one more song.

Justin, being the most sober, decided to sing one of his favorites from Earth.

Man it's a hot one

Like seven inches from the midday sun

Well I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone

But you stay so cool

My mu equita

My Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa

You're my reason for reason

The step in my groove, yeah

And if you said this life ain't good enough

I would give my world to lift you up

I could change my life to better suit your mood

'Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon

Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you

You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah

Gimme your heart make it real

Or else forget about it

Well I'll tell you one thing

If you would leave it'd be a crying shame

In every breath and every word I hear your name calling me out

Well out from the barrio you hear my rhythm on your radio

You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow

Turning you round and round

And if you said this life ain't good enough

I would give my world to lift you up

I could change my life to better suit your mood

'Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon

Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you

You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah

Gimme your heart make it real

Or else forget about it

And it's just like the ocean under the moon

Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you

You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah

Gimme your heart make it real

Or else forget about it

Or else forget about it

Or else forget about it

Oh, let's don't forget about it

(Gimme me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it)

Oh, let's don't forget about it

Let's don't forget about it, yeah

Oh, no, no

Let's don't forget about it...

As soon as he finished his song, Celestia grabbed me by the ear and dragged me back to the chariot. The only thing I remember hearing before I passed out was Tia saying “You just wait until we get back home. You, and a certain author I know, are in deeeeep doo-doo.”

Oh wow, I remember when this story only had ten likes, and now it's improved drastically. Dude, you are doing very well! Kinda reminds me of myself when my main story really got going. Keep up the good work!

And the style has improved a lot too. Not to mention I found this chapter quite funny.
