A Canterlot Hangover

by grl6p


“Can I Buy You Some Drinks?”

“Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go and comfort my bride!” An angry Shining Armor yelled at Twilight Sparkle as tears began to well up in her eyes.

“And you can forget about being my best mare!” Shining continued as he left the throne room, “And if I were you, I wouldn’t even show up to the wedding at all!”

Twilight looked as if someone just ripped out her heart and stomped on it.

She and the others now stood there in silence, shocked at the argument that just went down.

Applejack was the one that broke the mood, “Come on y’all, we’ve gotta go check on the princess.”

Twilight watched in sadness as her friends trotted out of the throne room, furious with Twilght’s actions.

Twilight called, “Guys, come back! Please?” But her pleas fell on deaf ears.

Just when Twilight thought it couldn’t get any worse, Celestia got up as well and started to leave.

Twilight tried to explain herself, “Wait! I was-”

But Celestia didn’t listen, “You have a lot to think about!” the sun princess said in a very disappointed tone before slamming the door on Twilight.

How did we get this way? You see, the captain of the Canterlot Royal Guards Shining Armor was getting ready to marry Princess Cadance, the adopted niece of Celestia and Luna, and former foalsitter to Twilight.

The Mane 6 and Spike had gone down to Canterlot to help out with wedding preparations.

Twilight was the most excited because she couldn’t wait to see her B.B.B.F.F. and her foalsitter after many years.

However, she was dismayed to learn that over the years Cadance had changed from a sweet loving pony to a rude and ungrateful one who insulted everything her friends were doing to prepare for the wedding.

But the real drama didn’t start until Twilight noticed Candance casting a strange spell on Shining Armor and saw the original bridesmaids were replaced with her friends. So Twilight crashed the wedding rehearsal and tried to reveal that Cadance was evil, but it didn’t go over so well.

Now left completely alone, Twilight began to cry, “What have I done? My brother hates me, my own friends wouldn’t believe my claims, and even Celestia won’t talk to me.”

She walked to the stairs in tears, “I’ve fucked up everything.”

Meanwhile, outside the door, “Cadance” had snuck out from her chambers to use the mares room when really she wanted to listen through the door and gloat.

That stupid bitch really though she could stop me.” Cadance thought, “Well I’ll make sure she never interferes with my plans. And I’ve got a perfect idea.

The bride to be went inside to find Twilight crying and started to stroke her hair.

Twilight looked up at her and whimpered, “I’m sorry.”

Cadance’s eyes briefly flashed a look of evil before she before she switched to a faux calm demeanor, “It’s nothing. These past few days have been pretty insane but after tomorrow it will all be better.”

“No it won’t.” Twilight cried, “Everyone I care about is mad at me for what happened at the wedding rehearsal. I just want to get my mind off this whole wedding.”

Fake Cadance, knowing her plan was working, asked, “How about we go to the local bar and I’ll buy you a few drinks? Will that make you feel better?”

“I guess.” Twilight replied.

“Great. The night’s on me!”

A few moments later...

Farley’s Cider & Booze Hut was a popular sports bar in Canterlot where people could watch the latest game on television and have all of the cheaply priced alcoholic drinks they want.

Tonight, the bar was closed because the owner, Farley Fizz, was busy finishing preparing a huge shipment of alcohol to send to the Royal wedding reception the next day.

“This is one big order.” Farley thought before he was interrupted by the little bell on the entrance door ringing with Twilight and fake Cadance at the front door.

“Hi are you guys open?” Twilight asked.

Farley turned around and bowed at the sight of Cadance, “Princess Cadance, what a surprise. What brings you here the night before your wedding?”

Cadance let Twilight to the bar stools, “My future sister-in-law and I have had a very rough past few days and could use some drinks.”

“But are you sure you should be drinking before your big day?” Farley asked, scratching his mane.

Cadance gave Farley a nasty look, startling the bar owner.

“Just give us two ciders please.” Twilight said as her head plopped on the bar table.

“Okay, two ciders coming up.” Farley turned around, made the drinks, and handed back two mugs.

“Thank you. Just put it on my tab.” Cadance smiled.

“Okay,” Farley said, “If you need a refill, just give me a call.”

He left the room and Twilight took a small sip from the mug.

“Are you going to have any Cadance?” Twilight asked.

“No, this is a cheer up day for you.” Cadance said, “I want you to have as much as you like until you feel happy.”

“Okay.” Twilight quickly chugged down the mug, and put it down. Then she guzzled down the 2nd cup and slammed it down.

“Wow, I feel better already!” Twilight exclaimed with excitement.

“Perfect.” Cadance said to herself, knowing that her plan was working.

“Farley, two more please!”

Over the next hour, Twilight had consumed cup after cup of the bar’s alcoholic beverages and was starting to feel a little tipsy.

“How are you feeling Twilight?” Cadance asked.

Twilight was now starting to slur her words, “I feel like I can do anything!”

“I told you.”

Twilight then felt her stomach rumble, “Hey, Imma go outside and take a leak, but I shall return!”

She then stumbled outside the entrance, not noticing the bathroom signs near the jukebox.

Now that she was alone with the drinks, Cadance took out a small capsule.

My plan is working. That stupid pony is so drunk, she’s helping my with my ultimate goal. And now it’s time for the real fun to start.” Cadance thought.

After doing a brief double take to see if anyone was there, the fake Cadance put the capsule into one of the drinks.

Twilight stumbled in, her mouth was coated in vomit and she was now a complete mess.

She tripped on her barstool, so Cadance had to place her up.

“You know, I was wrong about you. When we were prepping that wedding, I thought you were a self centered bitch who was using magic on my brother,” Twilight slurred, “But now you’re totally rad! *hic*

“Aww, you’re hicupping.” Cadance said in a baby-like voice as she levitated the mug, “You need to take another drink. It’ll make you feel better in no time.”

Twilight grabbed the tainted cup and drank it.

*hic* Oh Cadence, you are so bad.” Twilight muttered as she felt herself going dark. “You are the baddest bitch and the best foalsitter... ever...” At those last words, Twilight went out like a light.

“Sleep tight Twilight.” Cadance sighed, “Now its my turn to have fun!”

She grabbed an unconscious Twilight and began to cackle as she turned into her true form: Queen Chrysalis!
