Ugh parties. Why in Equestria I accepted to attend this drab thing is beyond me. It might have to do with a certain green haired dragon. I know that he was untouchable, because of Anthea and him, but it didn't stop me from still having a small-school filly crush I suppose.
Songs repeated themselves and people shimmied and danced on the dance floor. The best dance couple was surprisingly Star and Hot Head. She was wearing a dress that was like a dance dress and had loose ends so she could shimmy along smoothly. Hot Head was wearing a normal shirt and jeans. They moved across the dance floor flawlessly and who knew Star could dance and dirty dance so well? All the guys looked so jealous and it was positively hilarious watching Prism and Del's jaw drop. Of course Turquoise had no reaction but some chuckles.
Sigh he's so innocent. And yet every detail and flaw about him is perfect.
Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, Turquoise came up and asked me for a dance. I thought I would die on the spot, as he took my hand and gently pulled me up. I tensed up as he turned to face me.
“Uh Oh, have I already done something wrong?” He joked nervously.
Dated Anthea
Anthea is a lovely mare even though she has a hybrid that I should be dating. Doesn’t prevent me from sneaking her dirty looks and being rude to her. All is fair in love and war I suppose.
American Boy by Estelle came on. Oh dear god .
Take me on a trip I'd like to go some day,
We walked to the center of the dance floor and awkwardly positioned ourselves. His claw rested on my hoof, as he placed his other claw on my hip. We rocked and did a few spins, passing a smiling Annie. Not a trace if jealousy was on her face. Ridiculous. I should be posing a threat, not a friend.
As we danced, I breathed in the familiar smell that he possessed. A musky dragon smell and a bit of cologne worn for the party.
Resting my head on his shoulder I took a quick gaze around the dance floor. Everypony looked happy and were dancing. We looked the most awkward, dancing. Thank Celestia we were moving correctly to the beat, and I thought that we were doing fine, but when Starburst and Hot Head passed us, there was no point.
Take me to New York, I'd like to see LA,
I really want to come kick it with you,
You'll be my American boy, American Boy
I smiled and reddened as Turquoise tried to turn me around.
"Do you know how stupid we look? A princess has a reputation to uphold.”
"I know, but it’s the least I can do for a friend. And for Annie.” He chuckled. We continued to rock around occasionally spinning.
My thoughts swirled around in my head. For Annie? He was only doing this because Anthea asked him to. He didn’t want to dance with me. He wants all of his dances with Anthea. Because he loves her. She’s the only mare out there for him.
“Take me to New York I’d love to see LA”
“And no, I ain't been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits
First let's see the West End, I'll show you all me best-“
My thoughts drowned out the loud music and I turned and slurred my movements. He would never like you Nidra. You know that he cares only for Anthea. It was foolishness that you could ever think differently.
“Stop.” I commanded. Turquoise looked at me curiously but I pushed him outside and collapsed on the step. Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. I swept them away with quickly and stared at the passing ponies.
Never again will I attend a party.
