Celestia and Jason stood near each other conversing about recent events. Standing among them were several nobles, curious about who Jason is and how he knew Celestia.
"Excuse me?" a Noble mare said,"But, I was wondering...How exactly do you know the Princess?"Jason looked over at the mare, giving her a slightly confused look.
"So Celestia never spoke about me? Huh." he said, scratching his head, "Well I knew Celestia when she was still a child, heck I was even good friends with her parents, King Solaris and Queen Aurora." The nobleponies stared at Jason, dumbfounded.
"You mean to say that you are older than Celestia?" One of the nobles said, "That can't be right!" Celestia laughed at this.
"Oh, its true alright." Celestia said,"In fact, He is older than any other creature on Equus."The nobles look at Jason in astonishment. "He is so old," Celestia continued,"That he was around before the first ponies."
The noble ponies were about to say something when a white coated pony with a blonde mane and tail and a compass rose cutiemark walked up and started talking."Oh Auntie Celestia,"He said,"This gala is soooo boring!Do I really have to interact with all the ponies especially those common ones fro-"
Jason cut him off. "Shut up. You've literally just started talking, and I've already lost seventeen chromosomes." Jason said in an annoyed voice, "Not to mention the fact that you interrupted our conversation."
"I say!" the pony exclaimed, " Do you even know who I am?"
"Do I care?" Jason retorted.
"I am Prince Blueblood!" Blueblood shouted, "Nephew Of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!"
"Again," Jason said, "Do I care?"
"I should have you arrested!" Blueblood shouted.
"Both of you stop it!" Celestia scolded, "You are both acting like children."
"But Auntie!" Blueblood whined. Celestia gave him an annoyed look.
"Ah shut it Bluebutt, no one wants to hear your whining." Jason said. At this, Celestia smacked him on the back of his head. "The fuck was that for?"
"Both of you need to stop bickering," Celestia shouted, "If you don't like each other, that's fine, but you need to at least tolerate each other while you're at the Gala!" Both Blueblood and Jason looked surprised at the princess's outburst.
"Sorry Auntie," Blueblood said, even though he was obviously not sorry, "I'll make an effort to get along with him."
"Ha!" Jason scoffed, "Keep kissing your aunt's ass like that and you're gonna catch pinkeye."
"Jason!" Celestia shouted angrily. Jason just laughed at her annoyed expression.
"Fine, I'm gonna go see if they have any liquor." Jason said. "I'm dying for a drink."Celestia glared at Jason as he made his way toward the remaining food tables.
As he walked over there, he surveyed the carnage he had caused as a result of his fight with the Minotaur earlier in the party. Several ponies and other various species stared at him as he walked by, whispering and pointing. Jason just kept walking, not because he wanted to avoid conflict, but because he simply couldn't give less of a shit about
what others thought of him. He made it to the tables and almost instantly spied what he was searching for. He walked over toward the table and grabbed a bottle of whiskey. He unscrewed the cap and proceeded to chug the whole bottle. He then grabbed two more, knocked the cap off of one and downing it too. He set the second empty bottle down and went on his way, but not before grabbing a fourth bottle.
As Jason made his way back through the party, he noticed that most, if not all ponies had gone back to what they were doing. A few of them glanced at him, but other than that, they paid him no mind. He eventually arrived at a row of chairs at the end of the ballroom. Sitting down, he placed one of the bottles on the floor next to him. He then opened up the one he was still holding and began to periodically drink from it while observing the party in front of him.
After about an hour or so, Jason had already finished the two bottles of whiskey he had grabbed, and had went back to the food table to grab two more. He was halfway through one of the bottles when a lavender coated mare came and sat down next to him.Upon noticing the various empty bottles scattered around Jason, the mare gave him an incredulous look.
"Drinking that much can't be good for you," she said, "Not to mention the fact that you should be passed out on the floor by now"
Jason laughed a little at her comment. "I have a high alcohol tolerance," he said, "But that's besides the point. If my guess is correct, then you must be Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship and former student of Celestia. Good to finally meet you." His words were only slightly slurred, as if he had only drank a few beers, rather than four and a half bottles of hard liquor.
"And you must be Jason Jaquel," Twilight replied, "An immortal being who is not only good friends with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, but who was also good friends with their parents, King Solaris and Queen Aurora. Also,you were accepted as a member of the royal family, even though you don't act like it.
Jason Chuckled. "Looks like someone did their homework like a good little filly."
"Hey!" Twilight exclaimed, clearly miffed by Jason's snide comment.
Jason laughed a little bit. "No need to get so worked up," he said, "I'm just teasing ya."
Twilight scoffed at this. "Teasing?" she said, "We barely even know each other, if I were any pony else, I would've taken that as a serious insult."
"Ehh whatever. "Jason said, clearly bored, "If someone can't handle a joke, then they aren't worth my time."
Twilight gave Jason a confused look. "How are you gonna make any real friends then? That's obviously not a good way to go about it."
"I don't go out of my way to make friends," he said, "They don't stick around for long when you're immortal."
"Okay then," Twilight said, "Anyways, I've got to go, my friends are waving me over." After she spoke, she got up and headed in the direction of her other friends.
"Alright then..." Jason said before giving a yawn and drifting off into sleep.
