Lyra
I trotted behind Sunset and Adagio as we entered a bar. Bon Bon looked around curiously as Trixie grinned.
“Ain’t this the bar where ya got drunk with your friends from here?” Applejack asked curiously as Sunset nodded with a smile.
“Mhm,” Sunset conceded. I could see my Equestrian counterpart in a corner booth and her eyes lit up when we made eye contact. “Hey Aunt Berry.”
“I’m sorry?” Berry Punch said as she leaned on the bar. “Oh well I’ll be damned. If it isn’t my favorite world crossing customer. Still weird to know my counterpart is your aunt a bit.”
Sunset gave a quiet laugh as we all sat down on the chairs in front of the bar.
“Sorry, force of habit to call you aunt,” Sunset said sheepishly. “Whiskey for me, Lyra and Bon Bon please.”
“You got it. What about the others?” Berry asked and nodded at Trixie, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy.
“Vodka for Trixie please.”
“Anything apple related for me sugarcube.”
“I think me and Fluttershy will pass darlings,” Rarity said as Trixie scoffed. The magician eagerly took a shot of her vodka and coughed a bit.
“Trixie thinks you are just secretly a lightweight and are afraid of passing out in front of us.”
Rarity gasped and shot her a look as Berry Punch slid three glasses to me and Sunset before pushing the third to Bon Bon.
“I am not lightweight!” Rarity snapped as Adagio raised an eyebrow before drinking from her own glass. “Your finest wine please!”
“Woah Rares,” Applejack chimed in and gave her a concerned look. “Trixie is just trying to start a competition. Ya ain’t gotta listen.”
“Oh no darling. I’m quite certain about this,” Rarity narrowed her eyes as Bon Bon and I shared a look, before watching Sunset casually drink her alcohol.
“Howdy Sunset!” Equestrian Applejack patted her on the back and we all jumped. I hadn’t even seen her coming. “Lyra, Bon Bon, nice to see yall again.”
“Hey AJ,” Sunset grinned and the two hugged. “Meet well you, Rarity and Fluttershy.”
Equestrian Applejack gave her counterpart a unreadable expression as she examined her.
“So you’re the one who betrayed a pony that ya called family ah take it.”
Human Applejack flinched as Berry Punch stepped away nervously. I had partially forgotten she had been told about it as well. Sunset stayed quiet as she poured some more alcohol in her glass.
“Ah-”
“Shut up,” Equestrian Applejack interrupted and her counterpart fell silent. “Ah really got to know Sunset when she was here with her friends. She is a damn good mare and a friend.”
Human Applejack slumped further on the bar as Trixie gave the Equestrian version an impressed look.
“Ah know,” Human Applejack muttered. “Ah got her forgiveness now thankfully. Ah’d rather die than anything like that happen again. There could be camera footage of her killing someone and I still wouldn’t believe it.”
“Good. Just one more thing.”
“Yah?” Human Applejack asked as she sat up straighter. We all gasped as the Equestrian counterpart punched in the face and she slammed against the bar.
“Woah!” Rarity exclaimed as Berry pushed a first aid kit our way with a sigh.
“Now come sugarcube. Let’s get ya fixed up and share a beer now that Ah got that out of the way,” Equestrian Applejack grinned warmly at her counterpart before shoving her onto her back. “Ah’ll bring her back to the castle after.”
“Well that happened,” Sunset said finally as we watched the Equestrian Applejack wiping some blood off Human Applejacks jaw before the two hit their beer bottles against each other.
“Huh, guess what they say is true,” Rarity mused as I tilted my head curiously.
“What’s that?”
“Only true friends will punch each other and then share beers.”
I rubbed my head as I stumbled down the hall with Bon Bon and Trixie as the two struggled to keep each other up.
“My head hurts,” Sunset muttered as she yawned. “We may have drunk too much.”
“Trixie agrees.”
We had already dropped off Rarity and Fluttershy at their rooms. Surprisingly, Rarity held her own in a drinking competition with Trixie. Applejack was with well Applejack at the farm.
“I have to go to bed. I have to drop by and visit Sea Swirl and Sassaflash at some point along with Bon Bon, Lyra, Minuette and Amethyst if I get the time. Wish Derpy was here. I’m cold.”
Indigo Zap and Sunbeam trotted past as we stumbled down the hall, the two guards pausing to straighten Trixie before trotting away and snickering.
“You can always sleep with us,” Bon Bon slurred as she bumped into the door frame. “Oopsie.”
“I have a girlfriend. Can’t,” Sunset said and shook her head.
“Not like that silly filly,” I corrected as I helped Bon Bon into our room. “I love ya but I’m not interested in that with you.”
Sunset shrugged and nodded as she trotted into the room behind Trixie and shut the door. Trixie fell forward on her bed and grunted in a pillow. Thank the lord for Twilight planning ahead and leaving us some vomit buckets in the room already.
Sunset and I stared at each before looking at the bed as my fellow unicorn coughed and swayed on her hooves.
“So uh how does this work?” Bon Bon asked as she joined us after she covered Trixie up with a blanket.
“Like this,” I said pointed for Sunset to get in the middle. She shrugged and jumped onto the bed as Bon Bon and I looked to each other. “Now you pick a side.”
I expect her to pick the left side. She prefers that side for some ungodly reason. I watched her climb next to Sunset and yawn as I laid down on the right side, pulling the blanket over us.
Sunset turned red faintly as Bon Bon and I wrapped our hooves around her and nuzzled her cheek.
“Night Sunset,” Bon Bon muttered into Sunset’s mane as I rested my head on her chest.
“Night Sunny,” I whispered.
“Night girls.”
Sunset’s horn glowed faintly red as the light went out.
