//------------------------------// // Party Time // Story: Mental Colt // by SureFreeD //------------------------------// Twilight stared at the couple, dumbfounded. "Twilight, you alright?" She snapped back to reality, small driplets of sweat running down her forehead. "Y...yes, I'm t-totally fine!" she faked a smile, Ornald raised an eyebrow, still Vinyl was in his grasp. Vinyl chuckled and planted a small kiss on Ornald's lips, Twilight's left eye twiched, she released him from her embrace and trotted over the door. "Come on, we're gonna miss the party!" Vinyl motioned towards the pony filled room. "Right on you, sweetheart." Ornald smiled at Vinyl. The trio stepped into the party room, party ponies with various light attachments on them danced, drinked, smoked and talked, the room was fairly dark, the lights behind the turnables illuminated the room in a dim, green light. It was the correct party atmosphere. Vinyl quickly trotted behind the turnables and enebaled loud music which muted most of the cheers and whistles. Ornald gestured Twilight towards a couch, they quickly sat down. "So, have ya been to any other parties?" Ornald started, shifting closer to Twilight. She relaxed and looked directly into Ornald's eyes. "N-no, I've been staying at the library for some time, I go out though, meet and talk with my friends, go to the shops, I read books, lots of them!" she informed happily, "You should socialize more, being a bookworm is cute but it makes your social life turn bad," only then to frown. Ornald levitated a small pack of cigarretes and a bottle of hard apple cider. He unpacked and took a single cigar from the pack, placing in between his lips and lighting it with a spell, he inhaled deeply, then held his breath until the smoke came out of his nose, Twilight found it amusing and couldn't hold a giggle back. "What's so funneh?" Ornald removed the cigar from his lips and opened the apple cider bottle. "H-hey, isn't that bad for you?" Twilight asked, eyeing the bottle, somehow it seemed familiar. "Oh no, my friend Applejack specially made it for party situations, want some?" he gestured towards the bottle, Twilight had her jaw hanging, "A-Applejack is your friend, since when?" her attention grew bigger, "Oh, just for a couple of years." Ornald said fatly, Twilight couldn't believe it. "Yo Applejack, c'mere!" An orange earth mare came out of the buzzing crowd, quickly trotting over to Ornald. "Howdy honey-bun!" upon seeing Twilight she eeped. "Oh 'Twi, what in tarnation are you doin' 'ere?" Applejack's nervousness grew, Twilight could cleary see that. "You support alchohol, even make it?!" she yelled at her friend, only receiving a disgusted look from Applejack. "Hardy har har Twi, whaddya think I do with all those apples, eat 'em?" Applejack crossed her hooves. Twilight eyed her in disbelief, about the cider AND Ornald. "Y-you lied!" Twilight yelled, gaining attention of some of the party ponies. "Well, duuh', everypony lies!" Applejack exclaimed, a mocky grin creeped across her frekled face. Twilight was confused, dumbfounded and had a poker face. "But you're the element of honesty, you never lie!" Twilight's yells over the music gaining more attention. "Gosh darn it Twi, git it over yer head before Ah make ya!" "Ladies, ladies, reeelaax, just chill out, c'mere AJ." Ornald wrapped his hoof around Applejack's shoulder and planted a small kiss on her cheek. Applejack smirked. Twilight stared in awe. "Okay, thanks Orny, see ya later, bookflank." Applejack mocked Twilight and walked away in the crowd. "Y-you just...kissed her!?" "Twilight, calm down." "NO, I didn't think you were like that!" "Twilight, calm, the buck, down." Twilight stopmed her hooves in anger, her face was reddining with annoyance. "How many marefriends do you have?" she asked flatly, "Wh-what?" he tilted his head, "How many marefriends do you have?" she yelled. "Alright, jeez just calm down, please." Twilight sighed and threw her head back on the couch, she closed her eyes, only to feel light tapping on her shoulder, she opened her eyes, only to see a vodka bottle floating. "Drink, this will relax ya." Ornald smiled as Twilight took over the bottle and popped the cap, taking a long, powerful swing. "Crap." She threw the bottle and began choking and coughing, she spat some of the liquid, but most of it had already entered her system, Ornald quickly reacted and grabbed a glass of orange juice, she panicly took and gulped it down, the taste was revolting, it wasn't orange juice, it was something, else. "I... I don't feel so...good." Twilight placed a hoof on her stomach, "Where's the bathroom?" Ornald pointed towards a metal door, she had to go through the crowd of partying ponies. Twilight quickly stood up from the couch and gallooped towards the bathroom, upon entering she saw a row of sinks and a row of green stall doors. Twilight's cheecks inflated as her stomach's contents filled her mouth with a disgusting taste on her tongue. She pushed open one of the bathroom doors and vomited her puke in the toilet. She pulled away sighing as another wave of pain shot through her stomach, this time only white and red liquid came from her mouth, and into the toilet again. She moaned and exited the toilet stall, raching up to a sink, she turned on the tap and splashed her face with ice cold water. She turned off the tap and walked out of the bathroom, upon opening the door she saw a mane that was shockingly familiar, it had different variations of colour stripes, same as the tail, locked in a deep passionate kiss with Ornald. Twilight flinched.
