"Wake up Tom! The party had already started!"
Tom gave a snort and turned over in his new bed and ignored Pinkie, not realizing what she was saying.
"Don't tell me you're a heavy sleeper cause that's no fun!" Pinkie pouted. "Tooooooom?"
Tom was still sleeping when he felt a ticklish feeling on his fur and he began to snicker.
"Heh...stop that Star..." Tom woke up and realized it wasn't Star but instead it was Pinkie. "Oh sorry."
"It's fine!" Pinkie lied giving a big smile. "What matters is throwing you the best party ever!!!"
"Yeah, I've never been one for parties." Tom admitted, to which Pinkie gave a loud gasp.
"Who doesn't love parties?!" Pinkie gasped. "Well you'll definitely love this one. C'mon, time flies quickly!"
Pinkie lead Tom down from the loft to the floor of Sugarcube Corner where the rest of the Mane 6 minus Rarity was there along with Marco, Spike, and few other ponies.
"I wish Rarity were here." Pinkie sighed disappointed.
"Y'know all the missions on the map take a while, there's no rush." Applejack reassured her.
Tom could only assume that Rarity was the white unicorn from when the Mane 6 first met him. He saw a gentle yellow pegasus mare and light brown colt talking eagerly.
And he recognized him.
That human boy Marco that he shoved in the Underworld as him and Star were bound together as star-crossed lovers...but then why was Star not beside him?
But instead this unknown pegasus mare was in Star's place.
Even though I was jealous...I thought Marco would be with her making sure she was safe.
Suddenly, the fact he wasn't with her was what made him angry.
Star's been LEFT to the devices of ponies who don't even know her like I do! Or Marco!
"HEY!" Tom barked at Marco, catching him by surprise. "One girl isn't enough is it?!"
"Marco, what is he talking about?" Fluttershy asked, glaring at him.
"I honestly don't know what he's talking about." Marco replied.
"Why do you think I was jealous to begin with?! Did you not like Star?" Tom interrogated Marco.
"What? No!" Marco snapped.
"But the moon, you two were meant to be star-crossed lovers..."
"WHAT." Marco gasped.
"Hey guys!!"
Marco was still shocked when Star opened the door with Vanita and Rarity behind her. The rest of the Mane 6 was looking at the three of them surprised while Fluttershy was staring at the floor like she wanted to sink into it.
"This seems like a really bad time..." Vanita commented on the obvious. But Star didn't seem to care.
"Everypony, this is my marefriend Vanita!" Star beamed till her eyes landed on Tom. "Wait, what the duck is Tom doing here?"
"He's my friend!" Pinkie replied eagerly oblivious to the tension. "We were throwing a party for him till he went on about you and Marco bein' star-crossed lovers-"
"What the hell?" Vanita snapped, glaring at Star.
"Babe, Tom's just a crazy ex of mine and Marco's my friend." Star reassured her.
"Whatever, I'm leaving." Vanita sighed, as she left Star went after her leaving Rarity with a lot to explain.
"I'm tired of all this love drama." Applejack confessed. "With Marco and Tom with Star, Marco with Fluttershy, Pinkie with-"
"Umletshavecakenow!" Pinkie yelled over Applejack.
"I..." Twilight turned around to face Rarity. "Did you two at least solve the problem?"
"Hehe...about that..."
"You let Star hook up with the pony with the possible friendship problem?!" Twilight exclaimed.
"I was asleep!" Rarity protested.
"I'm surprised you'd have sleep during that." Applejack huffed, earning a chuckle from Rainbow Dash.
Pinkie looked at Tom awkwardly as they were eating cake on the table they were all at. Tom was still getting used to not using hands to eat as demons would do and instead ate chunks of cake with his mouth.
Forget Pinkie being crazy, the drama with her friends is much more than I can understand. And don't get me started on Marco and this Fluttershy pony!
Marco and Fluttershy were across from each other with the former chewing his cake nervously while glancing at Fluttershy.
Most of the other guests took their cake and left after the scene, even Spike claiming he had to recheck Twilight's book organization.
Pinkie, Tom, Marco, and Fluttershy were feeling awkward and the last one feeling hurt from the drama earlier while the rest of them carried on the news of Star and her new marefriend.
"Told ya that demon pony was trouble." Mrs. Cake whispered in Pinkie's ear.
"I'm literally right here." Tom growled. "If I didn't know any better, no one wanted me here."
"I wanted you here." Pinkie whimpered, looking at him with big blue eyes. "Why do you think we're all here to begin with?"
"Because they're your friends." Tom pouted. "Do you think I want to hear them talk about Star's new girlfriend? No. I'm leaving."
Tom got up abandoning his empty plate and the whole table and left the Sugarcube Corner irritated.
Pinkie frowned, looking at the closed door longingly.
"Pining isn't going to do you any good Pinkie." Applejack stated.
Pinkie felt anger at how insensitive Ponyville has been to Tom just because he was a demon. But she didn't have the heart to shout her opinion like she was very much tempted too.
She glared at the whole table and left the building as well.
"Pinkie didn't finish her cake, she never does that!" Dash gasped. "Applejack, do you know what's going on?"
"Let's just say some of us have gotten too close to the new ponies 'round here." Applejack answered, glancing at Fluttershy and Marco.
"That's the truth." Twilight muttered. "Our goal is to get Vanita to stop seeing Star so we can get to the root of the problem."
"I bet that'll make Marco happy." Fluttershy huffed, her voice drenched with jealousy.
"I told you I'm not into Star!" Marco snapped. "I'm heading back to the cottage, we can talk there later."
"Later will be now actually." Fluttershy retorted. "I'm coming with you."
Marco and Fluttershy walked out of Sugarcube Corner as well. Twilight looked at the table with her mouth slightly open in shock.
These humans are tearing us apart!
