Alwas Appreciate What is Right in Front of You

Ch 3 A Good Night

Today I am going to Manehattean. The reason I am going is because Twilight is on a business trip to discuss adding funding's to the city's needs. 

I am staying at a hotel. The hotel is decent; they have a tile floor in the lobby. There are also couches there and a wooden table with a television, decent enough. 

The news is they are talking about the meeting Twilight is at. I have a lot of free time for once and I am planning on using it to the fullest.

I discovered that all the kids who are staying at the hotel are required to go to a party because they want us to make the most of our experience. I don’t mind. I like parties. The ones Pinkie throws are always fun and enjoyable.

I entered a room where there were balloons and some snacks. They were playing kids hop. But to be honest no one likes that kind of music. It's the kind of music seven year olds listen to and most of us are nine, ten, or eleven. We don’t listen to that kind of music anymore.

I got some chips and sat down. There was a pegasus colt next to me. He had a gray coat, a spiky blue mane and tail, blue eyes, and his cutie mark had electric bars on it.’

“Can you believe the grown ups put this music on? I mean, do they think we’re that age.” the colt spoke up.

“I don’t know. It’s why I never attended those little kid parties back in Ponyville.” I said.

“You’re from Ponyville, you're lucky the people there I hear are really nice.” The colt said.

“Oh you’re right, the ponies there are really nice. I've met some that throw the best parties and love to cheer me up.” I said with a smile at the memories.

“Oh your life sounds pretty decent then.” He said.

I then let out a sigh at that. “It used to be that way but ever since Twilight became a princess I’ve had to deal with extremely racist guards and nobles.” I said with sadness at the mere thought of how they treated me.
 
“Okay that is just wrong.” he said. He then got out a simple cassette tape with some tapes and a pair of headphones.

“This is my cassette player, you need it.” He said.

“I don’t know what to say.” I said.

“You don’t have to say anything, my name's Electric Wave by the way.” He said.
“My name’s Spike.” I said.

I then had some dinner. It was a sandwich and some chips. I then decided that I might as well dance to the beat and I could get my own dance out of it. I slid to the left, the right, backwards and forwards in a pattern and created my own dance while all the other foals stopped to watch. I felt so alive after I was done all the fillies and colts stopped their hooves in applause. 

A unicorn mare with a light green coat then stepped into the room. 

“Am I in trouble?” I asked.

“No, my daughter is the one in trouble. Sunshine come out this instant!” the mare shouted.

A light green mare, with a yellow mane and tail, and a sun for a cutie mark then nervously made her way to her.

“Mom, I can explain.” the mare said apologetically. 

“How many times have I told you to stop treating the children like they are six years old. You and I both know that these kids don’t want to listen to music designed for ages 4-7. You have to stop treating them like children when they are more than just foals and have their own minds. You will leave now and allow these children to have a good time.” the mare spoke.

After that the music was changed to pop and the songs were really good. I didn’t even know about these artists it's been a while. There’s Cold Play, One Equesteria, Flo Kida, and Five Seconds of Fall. We also played a few games as well and just had a good time. I haven’t really gone to any parties since Twilight’s coronation and so this was nice. I headed back to my room and went in my covers. “Tonight was fun wasn’t it.” I grinned to myself as I slowly drifted off to sleep
