//------------------------------// // Throwing a Toga Party // Story: Twilight Tries... // by Peni Parker //------------------------------// Hi, everypony, and welcome to another episode of Twilight Tries! Now before I reveal what it is I’ll be trying today, I want to see if you can guess what it’ll be based on what I’m wearing right now. Let me just back up a bit so you can get a full view of my outfit. . Well? Any ideas? . . Okay, times up. Today I’m going to try…throwing a toga party! . . That’s right, Spike! TOGA! TOGA! Ahem, sorry for that sudden outburst. It’s just that Spike and I are just really excited to be throwing this party! You see, a few nights ago Spike, Starlight, and I decided to all watch a movie together and the movie we ended up watching was Animal House. Starlight and I had seen it before, but it was Spike first time seeing it and he really enjoyed the toga party part. In fact, her enjoyed it so much that when the movie was over he asked if we could throw one ourselves. I said I didn’t see why not, but Starlight had a few…reservations. She said that toga parties can really get out of hoof, just like the one in Animal House did. But come on, I’m sure that the toga party in Animal House was exaggerated for entertainment purposes. Plus, how would Starlight knows what toga parties are actually like? She’s never even been to one…I think. You know, sometimes when she and Trixie go on their ‘magic show tours’ together I get the feeling they’re really doing, shall we say, other things; Unusual things. But enough of my theories about what Starlight and Trixie do when they’re alone together. Getting back on point, I told Spike that we could throw a toga party and that he could invite anypony he wanted. Needless to say, after I told him that he quickly wrote up some invitations and sent them out. I’m not quite sure how many ponies he invited, but I’m sure it wasn’t too many. After all, how many ponies can one dragon know? Now before we get the party started, I have to give credit where credit is due and thank all of my friends for their help in putting this thing together. So thanks to Pinkie for getting most of the supplies, Rainbow Dash for helping with the decorating, Applejack for providing the cider and other refreshments, Fluttershy for booking The Pony Tones to perform, and last but certainly not least, Rarity for making the toga outfits for myself and Spike. And with that said and done, let’s get this party started! Hi there, welcome! Welcome, come on in! Derpy and Bulk Biceps, good to see you! My, that certainly is a, um…very interesting toga you’re wearing, Derpy. . . It’s the sheet from your bed? You don’t say. I, um, never would have guessed that. . . Wait, it’s the sheet from your bed, Bulk? Okay, I definitely never would’ve guessed that. Well, enjoy the party you two! Phew. That’s 15 ponies in the last three minutes alone, and I think I greeted some 35 ponies before all of them. I’m actually starting to wonder how many invitations Spike sent out. Hi, welcome…Ember? . . It’s good to see you too. What brings you to Ponyville? . . You got an invitation from Spike to the toga party? G-Great! Come right in and make yourself at home! Oh sweet Celestia I really hope she doesn’t try to eat my castle again. I think I better go find Spike and ask him how many ponies, err, creatures he invited… Prince Rutherford?! . . Really. Spike invited you and your friends too, huh? . . Y-Yes, I’m sure that yaks are the best at toga parties but I really don’t think you need to... *CRASH* Okay, too late. I need to find Spike. Right now. Spike! Spike!! *CRASH* Oh what now? . . Sunset Shimmer? What are you doing here? And why is this window broken? . . WHAT?! You threw a barrel of cider through it?! Why?! . . Sunset, how much cider have you had? . . Six mugs?! How you had that much to drink already? The party only started a few minutes ago. You know what, it doesn’t matter. Let’s just find a nice place for you to lie down and- *POOF* And she teleported away. Super. I just hope she doesn’t over do it on the cider anymore than she already has. Now what was I doing before I ran into Sunset? . Oh right, trying to find Spike. Spike! Has anypony seen Spike? Spike!! . Wah! Moondancer? When did you get here? . . Okay, you’ve clearly had too much cider as well. I’m…glad you’re enjoying the party so far, Moondancer, but I really need to find- *KISS* D-D-Did you just kiss me?! . . Ooooh Moondancer. I’m, um, flattered that you like me that way, but right now I really need to find- *KISS* Stop that! Look, we’ll talk about this later, okay? Just…let me go so...so I can find...Spike. . Ah-ha! Phew. Well that got kind of crazy...and uncomfortable. But back to the matter at hoof; finding Spike. Spike! Spike!! . Oh good, there he is. Why is he holding Applejack’s guitar though? It doesn’t look like he’s trying to play it. It looks like he’s... Oh no. Spike, put the guitar down right now! . . Have you been drinking?! You’re underage, Spike, you know better than to be drinking cider! . . Okay, never mind that for now. Just…put the guitar down, nice and easy. . . You’re not Bluto, Spike. . . No, you’re not. Now put the guitar down this instant or…or I’m putting you on double secret probation, mister! . . That’s better. Now let’s get you to bed before- *CRASH* Oh come on! Wait, that sounded like it came from my room! Um… Oh good, Fluttershy! Can you please take Spike to bed while I find out what that crash was? . . Great, thank you! Okay, now to find out who’s in my room. . *KNOCK KNOCK* All right, whoever’s in here it’s time to-AAAAAAH! *DOOR SLAMMING* Sorry, Bulk and Derpy! I’m, uh, just going to let them finish what they're doing in there. Right now I think I need to find a spell that will help me forget what I just saw. Also, note to self: Be sure to look over this video before posting it to make sure there's nothing that needs to be pixelated out first. *CRASH* *SIGH* It’s going to be a long night. Welp, it’s morning now, and as you can see this place is an absolute mess. Various pieces of furniture has been broken, there are decorations and garbage scattered all over the place, and oh, a few ponies seem to have passed out right here in the hallway. I honestly can’t tell if this was a successful toga party or not. Frankly though, I don’t want to know. The one thing I do know is that real-life toga parties are exactly like the one in Animal House and that this was my last time ever throwing one. So as always, thank you for watching Twilight Tries and I’ll see you again next time. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go see if Bulk and Derpy are still in my bedroom. *SHUDDER* I really hope they aren't.
