Twilight opened her eyes, her head was resting on the book, salivia dripping down from her open mouth. The unicorn lifted her head, rubbing an eye with her hoof.
"Ugh...what time is it?"
She looked over a wooden clock, it displayed eight. Twilight got off and threw the wet book on the table. The party was at nine, so she had to get going.
"Spike!" she shouted across the library. A small purple scaled dragon popped it's head from the kitchen doorway. "Spike, can you watch over the library, I'm going to a par- erm...to meet a new friend,"
The baby dragon growled in annoyance, this meant yes. Twilight sighed and made her way outside.
The sun was gone, and the moon took it's place, illuminating the quiet town of Ponyville, Twilight began to trot to her destination. As further as she walked, the more unfamiliar places began to take place, dark alleyways and roads. As the lavender unicorn continued her trot, she felt as if somepony was watching her, very closely.
The street lamps began to shrink in number, the roads were getting darker and darker, Twilight shivered slightly. Sure she has been in dark places, but this particular part of Ponyville sent chills down her spine. The atmosphere was different, the air smelled funny, the streets were polluted with all sorts of junk, and there were three stallions with hoodies standing mere meters away from Twilight, wait what?
Indeed, two unicorns and one earth pony, all of them were wearing black hoodies, Twilight was lost in thought and she bumped into the earth pony. She shook her head and looked up, she couldn't see their eyes or faces because the hoodies hid their appearence.
"Look here boys, a little pony, what do you think?" The earth pony laughed menacly.
Twilight took a sidestep, so did the earth pony. "Hey, where are you going?" he took a step towards Twilight and she backed away. She looked for a way around the gang.
"Excuse me, I'm trying to walk here!" Twilight said, annoyed that they were taking her time. "Empy your pockets." the earth pony said bluntly. He grabbed Twilight's hoof. "Hey let me go!" she yelled, trying to pull away. "Not until you give us your bits." he began searching Twilight's body.
"Get your filthy hooves of her!"
Twilight turned her head, and to her surprise Ornald was standing, furious looking.
"I'm not jokin' Desh, get of her!" he yelled. The earth pony responded to his name by sighing and letting go of Twilight. "I'm sorry Miss, I hope I didn't hurt you." his act completely shifted, from a cruel thug looking for his next hit, to a polite gentlecolt.
"I thought told you about picking on mares." Ornald walked over Desh and patted his shoulder. "Sorry man." Desh lowered his head in embarrasment. "Just don't do it again, there are other ways of obtaining money." Ornald smiled.
The gang walked off, leaving Ornald and Twilight alone.
"You okay? That rat bastard always picks on lonely mares, one day I'll sort him out." he smirked.
"Yeah thanks for that, no idea what they would've done to me." Twilight chuckled. "Oh, they were going to take your money, then rape you and dump you in an alleyway." he said flatly. Twilight gulped, "R-rape?" she knew what it meant, "Oh yes, they would force you into unwanted se-" Ornald was cut short. "I know what it means, I'm just glad that you showed up." Twilight was grateful that Ornald had stopped them. "Yeah, come on, the party is waiting!" he said enthusiasticly, Twilight nodded in agreement and began walking towards a big structure with Ornald, as they neared the bulding, slight music could he heard, also cheering and whistles came into reach.
"Here we are!" Ornald opened a door, gesturing for Twilight to proceed- and so she did. As they both entered the bulding, a giant staircase lead up. Ornald and Twilight reached the second floor, he knocked on a wooden door numbered two-six-seven. The door enveloped in a blue aura and out came out a white unicorn mare, with an electric blue mane and DJ glasses, Twilight recognized her as DJ PON3, as the mare saw Ornald, she leapt into his neck, squealing in delight. Twilight stared in awe.
"Orny, I've been waiting for like, HOURS!" she squeezed him. tighter.
"Nice to see you too Scratchie, look, I've brought a new guest." Ornald pointed towards Twilight, the DJ brought up her head from Ornald's shoulders and inspected the lavender mare.
"Nice to meet you, I'm DJ PON3, but you can call me Vinyl, or Scratch, whichever you preffer. Me and my coltfriend are DJ'ing for this night!" she smiled.
At the word 'coltfriend', a window broke.
