The Night Before New Year's Eve

Written by: Slendermuffin



Pinkie Pie's eyes slowly opened. She had a pounding headache and, as the sunlight shined through the windows of Sugarcube Corner, her eyes immediately shut. Pinkie Pie got off the ground and opened her eyes again, trying to get them adjusted to the light. She was in her room, and it was covered in party decorations. Then she remembered she threw a party with her friends the night before New Year's Eve, and that was it, everything went black after that. She then looked at a nearby table and saw two bowls, one with punch and one with what looked like hard apple cider. It all made sense now, the memory loss, the headache, the bowl of cider on the table. She got drunk that night and was now going through a hangover.

    "Whoopsie, I guess I had a bit too much to drink," Pinkie said to herself, leaving her room and going into the main room of the sweet shop. "Tonight's New Year's Eve, I should go invite my friends for another party since, as far as I know, they were enjoying themselves at the last one," Pinkie said, looking at a calendar.

    Pinkie grabbed some pieces of paper and wrote down six invitations to her New Year's Eve party. She then headed out of the sweet shop and started going to each of her friends. First stop: Twilight's Library.

   Cut to Twilight's Library

    Pinkie's hoof met the front door of the library as she knocked on the door. In no time at all, Twilight answered the door.

    "Hi, Pinkie, that was a nice party you threw last night," Twilight said, forcing a smile on her face.

    "Thanks, but I wish I could remember it, anyways, here you go," Pinkie Pie said, taking a letter out of a basket hat she was wearing. Twilight opened up the letter and read through it.

    "Another party, don't want to miss that," Twilight said

    "Another thing, Twilight, what happened last night?"

    "Um... nothing else really, we just...talked, yes we just talked."

    Pinkie gave Twilight a suspicious look.

    "Twilight, are you making up an excuse like last time?"

    "That didn't really happen, I... had a bit too much to drink myself."

    "Wow, Twilight, I never pictured you getting hammered."

    "Yeah, I'm trying new things," Twilight replied

    "Well thanks anyway, hope to see you tonight."
   
    "Bye, Pinkie."

    "Bye, Twilight."

    Twilight shut the door, and Pinkie started going to Rainbow Dash's house, but Pinkie could've sworn she heard a "Phew" from behind the door.

   Cut To Rainbow Dash's Cloud House

    "Rainbow, Rainbow, are you up there?" Pinkie screamed

    She could hear Rainbow talking to herself from up in her house.

    "Find my happy place, find my happy place, find my happy place," Rainbow said

    "Hey Rainbow, whatcha doing?"

    Rainbow didn't answer.

    "Well I'm just going to leave this in your mailbox," Pinkie said. "Also, do you have any idea what happened last night?"

    Rainbow still didn't answer

    "Well, bye, Rainbow Dash," Pinkie said

    "Thank Celestia she's gone," Pinkie heard her say

    Pinkie didn't wonder why Rainbow wanted her gone, so she brushed it off.

    "Well then, off to Rarity's place," Pinkie said

Cut to the Carousel Boutique 

 Before Pinkie could knock on the door, she heard the sound of crying from inside. Pinkie could only assume something bad had happened to Rarity, like at the Fashion Show before the Grand Galloping Gala, but what? Pinkie climbed up the tree where Opal was put to get Rarity out before, near her bedroom. Pinkie got a slow peek in and saw Rarity collapsed in her bed in a robe.

    "Wow, I wonder what happened that made her so sad. A good party should cheer her up," Pinkie said, climbing down.

    She knocked on the door, which was answered by Sweetie Belle.

    "Hi, Pinkie," Sweetie said

    "Hi, Sweetie, can you give this to Rarity," Pinkie said, giving her the invitation

    "Sure thing," Sweetie said

    "Thanks, Sweetie, bye," Pinkie said

    "Bye, Pinkie," Sweetie said, closing the door.

    "I really need to find out what happened last night," Pinkie said, heading to Fluttershy's Cottage.

Cut to Fluttershy's Cottage

    Pinkie knocked on the door hastily, hoping for an answer.

    "Fluttershy, are you home?"

    Fluttershy opened the door

    "Hi, Pinkie Pie," she said nervously

    "Last night, what happened after I drank too much?" Pinkie asked

    "I don't really want to talk about it, if that's okay with you," Fluttershy said

    "Please, Fluttershy, can you please tell me, our friends are either crying, Twilight had a good reason because she got drunk too, but can you please tell me?"

    "Seriously, Pinkie, I don't want to talk about it," Fluttershy said

    "Please, Fluttershy, tell me." Pinkie said again

    "Okay, just give me a minute," Fluttershy said

    "Thank you, now I'll finally get some answers."

    Fluttershy shut the door. Pinkie waited a few seconds before she heard a window open and somepony galloping away. Pinkie rushed over behind the cottage and saw Fluttershy galloping away.

    "I really thought I was going to get some answers, now how am I going to find out, and I forgot to give her my invitation," Pinkie said

    The Pinkie remembered, she forgot about Applejack, how could she forget about her? Applejack was the Element of Honesty after all, she would tell Pinkie what happened. Pinkie started galloping to Sweet Apple Acres, ready to get some information.

Cut to Sweet Apple Acres

    Pinkie arrived at Sweet Apple Acres and found Applejack bucking some trees.

    "Hi, Applejack," Pinkie said

    "Howdy, Pinkie Pie," Applejack said

    "What happened last night?"

    "Are you sure you want to know?"

    "Yes, I've never been so sure in my life."

    "Well, the party was going well, until you had too much to drink."



    All of Pinkie's friends were gathered around her at Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie had a mug in her hoof and the cider bowl was nearly empty, Pinkie had managed to go through five of them. Her friends couldn't find out why she hadn't passed out, or died of alcohol poisoning, but it's Pinkie Pie, don't ask questions.
   
    "Pinkie, are you okay?" Rainbow Dash asked

    "I'm fine," Pinkie said, a mug of cider in her hoof.

    "Don't you think you had a bit too much?"

    "I'll let you know when I've had too much!" Pinkie snapped

    "We should leave her alone," Applejack suggested

    "Maybe you're right," Rarity said

    All the other ponies then started taking and left Pinkie to her drinking antics. Twilight, Rainbow and Applejack were in a group and Pinkie took notice that Dash's back side was facing her. Pinkie started blushing as an idea sparked in her head. She went into the bathroom and open her medicine cabinet. Inside were an assortment of pill bottles and syrups for coughs and stuff like that. The bottle that caught was Pinkie's attention was the one labeled Horse Tranquilizers. Pinkie set her cider mug down and sneaked over to the punch bowl. While her friends weren't looking, she put six pills in six cups. Around the same time, her friends had finished their cups, Pinkie gave each of her friends the cups without spilling any because of her drifting from from left to right. Her friends all finished the punch in a matter of minutes, after that all of her friends dropped to the floor. Pinkie then dragged each body down the stairs and into the basement.

    Twilight awoke to find a dark room where she could see nothing, she heard her friends talking, but she couldn't quite make it out with all their whining, especially Rarity's. Twilight then looked down, wishing she hadn't. Twilight was dressed in a schoolgirl outfit, and, right then, the room filled with light. She looked around and saw she was suspended in the air being held up by chains along with her friends, whose limbs were all pulled apart, exposing their bodies fully. She then noticed, they were all wearing strange outfits like her. Rarity was wearing black socks on her front and back legs with nothing else. Rainbow Dash was wearing a pink sweater, but unlike her other friends she had a ball gag in her mouth. Applejack was wearing, unlike her other friends, a latex suit. Fluttershy, like Rarity, was wearing socks, except hers were pink and white striped. In front of them all stood Pinkie with a whip in mouth.

    "Pinkie, where are we?!" Twilight asked in full panic mode

    "Why my S&M Dungeon silly."

    "Why are you doing this?" Fluttershy asked tearing up

    "We were having a lousy time, I thought I'd spice things up. Now why are we talking, we should get started," Pinkie said

    "Please no," the other ponies minus Dash said

    "Let's get this party started. Pinkie Pie style."
   
    Pinkie slowly walked to the other five ponies. Just then she stopped, her head spinning, as she vomited on the floor and fell to the ground. Twilight's horn glowed as an idea bloomed in her head, she teleported out of the shackles and got her friends out. Once they all got out, they carried Pinkie to her bed. They all left the sweet shop, trying to put the previous memories behind them. When Twilight got back to the library she dumped the schoolgirl outfit, but not before Spike noticed her and got a little nose bleed.



    Pinkie was filled with shock. She couldn't believe she did such a horrible thing.

    "I'm so so sorry, Applejack. I didn't mean to do that," Pinkie said

    "It's all right, Pinkie, you were drunk, and you didn't know what you were doing."

    "Where did I even get this stuff anyway?"

    Applejack then remembered seeing some boxes where Pinkie got the equipment. She somehow managed to see who it was meant for. Surprisingly, it wasn't for Pinkie, but for Mr. and Mrs. Cake.

    "You don't want to know."

    From a nearby tree, Apple Bloom hid behind and listened to their talk.

    "I should try that with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo," she whispered to herself, trying not to alert her sister.

    The filly then galloped away to find her friends to play a nice, harmless game.

    "Well, Pinkie, I think it's time we have an intervention," Applejack said

Cut to Sugarcube Corner

    All six ponies were gathered together in the main room of the sweet shop, all at one table.

    "Well, let me start off by saying I'm sorry about what happened last night," Pinkie said

    "We forgive you," the other five said

    "Then why were you all avoiding me and making excuses before?"

    "We were too traumatized, first of all," Rainbow said

    "After all, you did try to rape us."

    "You all could've just told me, and we could've put all this behind us."

    "We never wanted to talk about it," Fluttershy said

    "So... what now."

    "You gave us invitations," Twilight said "Let's party till the New Year."

    "Let's get this party started!" Pinkie said, randomly grabbing her Party Cannon

    Thus, they all started partying til the New Year and lived happily ever after.

   The End
