Equestria: 7:00 P.M (Twilight)
Twilight was drinking some punch when a knock came at the door. "I got it!!!," piped up Pinkie Pie, as the expert party pony trotted to the door and opened it.
"Hey Pinkie," said the pony at the door, Starlight. "Looks like I came just in time." Twilight, at hearing her former student's voice, immediately ran towards her. They hugged, and smiles sparked on their faces.
"You made it!" said Twilight as she pulled away.
"How could I miss the birthday of the friend who helped me change my ways?" said Starlight, smiling. "I brought you a treat from Sugar Belle. I asked her to bake you because, I really don't have experience in cooking." The unicorn levitated a small white box towards the alicorn. Twilight opened it to reveal a small cupcake with a magenta sparkle in it, while an orange apple, pink butterfly, red lightning bolt, purple diamond, and a light blue balloon surrounded it. Twilight swore she felt a tear slide down her face from how beautiful it was.
"Why, thanks Starlight," said Twilight as she levitated the box next to herself.
"Oh, give the credit to Sugar Belle," said Starlight as she traced the floor with her hoof. "I just gave her the idea that's all."
"Exactly, which is why it's so wonderful," said Twilight. She hugged Starlight. Then she pulled away and placed the white box on the table where all of her other presents were. She sighed, wishing her Canterlot High friends could had also come. But knowing that it would overthrow the balance of both worlds, she pushed the thought away. Then came the thought of her crush—Flash Sentry.
There was a pony version of him in Equestria, but that wasn't him. That wasn't the Flash she knew. Which is why her relationship with him was so troubling to Twilight. She knew they could never be an official couple for a single reason, they were from different worlds. And the only way to reach them was through a mirror. So all the dreams of her and Flash sitting in grassy fields as the watched the sun set, were destroyed by the very reason it would never happen. Twilight looked down, having to face the fact that she didn't and probably wouldn't ever have a special somepony.
"Uh, ya okay there sugarcube?" Applejack asked, bringing Twilight back to the present moment
"Huh? I'm fine," said Twilight. "Just pondering on things, that's all."
"Twilight, it's a party. Your party," said Rainbow Dash as she hovered close to her friend. "You shouldn't be pondering while everyone else has fun."
"Yeah, because then you'll miss out and everyone else will have a great time, but you won't have gotten to do anything because you were too busy pondering," Pinkie said Pie quickly.
"And, whatever it is, we can help you," Fluttershy said in a timid but cheerful tone.
"Fluttershy's right, darling," Rarity said. "You can count on us."
"Thanks girls," Twilight pulled all her friends into a group hug.
"Well what are we waiting for?!" Pinkie said. "Let's party before we miss out on anything, especially the cakes and cupcakes with creamy frosting..." She began to drool and Fluttershy quickly grabbed a napkin and wiped it off. The others laughed at Pinkie Pie's randomness. Twilight was truly happy, knowing that no one could ever take away her happiness, and her friends. Best of all, a certain draconequus, perhaps hadn't come to ruin the party. I must be the luckiest mare in the world thought Twilight as she followed her friends to a Twister game.
Fell Equestria: 7:00 P.M (Twilight)
Twilight groaned as Pinkie Pie set down a cake that was a dark magenta, with a pink and a lighter pink layers of frosting. On the stop were three smiling flowers and under was the inscription 'Happy Birthday'. The cake however, gave off an awful smell as the blood that had yet to dry fell through the creaks of the cake.
"Pinkie Pie, I said I wasn't in the mood for cake!" yelled Twilight at the pink earth pony. Pinkie Pie had her mane down, the tips dies with the blood from her victims. She wore a dress that held now thirteen cutie marks of thirteen different ponies, which was only long enough to go down and cover only her cutie mark and the begging of her hind legs. Blood still swept down the edges of the dress. She also had a holder strapped around her waist with various knives and her coat was stained with blood. Her hooves had feathers of various pegasi and other winged feathered creatures who had been killed by the inane party planner.
"Aww, but Cheerlie worked really hard on it," pouted Pinkie Pie, insanity behind her sky blue eyes.
"And do I give a damn fuck?! No!," said Twilight. "Where's everyone else?! And where is my fucking tea that isn't made out of pony blood?!" Suddenly, a draconequus who was beaten up slowly made his way to the alicorn. His goat horn and dear antler were chipped and broken in half, and his face was covered in multiple cuts and bruises. The coat on his head was a light shade of gray but was brittle and bruises all over, and one of his ears had been cut in half. He had a black mane that had gone brittle from all the torture the draconequus had endured. But worse was his back, which was where several scars, cuts, and bruises lay, the fresh ones had blood streaming down. His light blue pegasus wing and bat wing hanged broken and limply behind his back, covered in multiple times and looked as if they would fall off. His limps were all bruised up and the scales of his tail were all broken, a bit of blood still coming out. His white tuff of hair was curled be wavy but like his black mane, had gone brittle. A collar was around his neck that had a ring at the back for him to be chained. Fear was shown in his yellow crimson eye and his yellow and aqua eye as he meekly approached the alicorn on all fours.
Twilight snarled at him as she took the tea, placed it on the table, then grabbed the draconequus by his neck with her magic. "What took so long shit face?," snarled the alicorn.
The draconequus's ears fell backwards as his body shook in fear. "I-,I-,I-,I'm sorry Q-,Q-,Q-,Q-,Queen Twilight," he said in whimpers. "I-,i-,i-,it was just hard to d-,d-,do it to im-,im-,impress you."
"That is no excuse for you to take that long to serve your rightful ruler!," yelled Twilight as her aura tightened around the draconequus's neck, making him choke as tears streamed down his cheeks. Twilight then slammed him to a wall and pinned him there as she stomps towards him with a whip levitated behind her. Pinkie Pie had been watching from behind, eating popcorn that she had pulled out her fallen mane.
The draconequus tried to run but his limbs were too weak to do anything, they always were. The whip came down hard as he yelped in pain. She did the same thing until finally, she stopped. Blood dripped down the back of the draconequus who winced in pain with every breath he took. Twilight then levitated him and slammed him into the wall of her basement, making sure to chain him up. Before she left, she levitated the wounded draconequus towards her.
"Listen to me well Discord," snarled Twilight. "Today is my birthday and you ruined it with your fucking excuses! You think you can take all the time you want? Well you're wrong! I'm your princess, your queen! So you better who me some respect! Understand?" Discord gave out a weak nod as more tears streamed down his cheeks as Twilight slammed him to the wall again.
"You're weak. No wonder your sister died because of you," said Twilight. "She would've been better to have than you." She knew that those words always had hurt Discord. She left the basement with a skip as she closed the door to her basement.
"Aww, couldn't you let me take his wings?" whined Pinkie. "We barely get anyone with a sweet personality to make sweet and delicious pastries!"
"Pinkie, for the millionth time, ask Fluttershy for fuck's sake!," snarked Twilight. "Now since the others aren't here, I might as well take this lump of trash back to his rightful owner."
Just then Spike had come downstairs, hearing all the commotion as he saw the trails of blood and brown fur on a wall. "Yo Flopple," said Spike. "Mind torturing your subjects in a lower mode. I'm trying to get my sleep."
Twilight rolled her eyes. "That's all you ever do pathetic piece of shit."
Spike chuckled. "At least I am not overlooked by ponies." With that he went back upstairs. Pinkie had already eaten the cake and began to leave as Twilight collared Discord and forced him to Fluttershy's cottage. No stars showed in the skies, only the blackened cloud that covered any light that dared to enter.
