"To another great show!" cheered Vinyl, toasting her stallion friend Big Mac at the bar of the nightclub they just finished performing in. Big Mac just toasts her back without saying a word. Vinyl then chugs her entire bottle of rum within a few secods. "You see that! 20! SECONDS! FLAT!" exclaimed the mare at her accomplishment.
Big Mac never chugs his drinks, except when he's competing against her sister in a drinking game, instead he just takes his time. "Eeyup!" was all the stallion says in response.
Vinyl then puts one of her forelegs around Big Mac. "Look, remember when you said that you wanted to start your own farm someday?" grinned the mare. Big Mac just silently nods in agreement. "Well, whenever that day comes, I'm going to be there to help you out, I'll be your number one worker and assistant, and that's my promise to you!"
Big Mac is surprised at what she's saying. "Why?"
"Because Mac, I owe you for all the help you've done, plus years of living a fast paced loud life makes you yearn for the quiet simple life." explained Vinyl. She then takes a look around the nightclub, and sees two light purple pegasus mares, possibly sisters, checking the unicorn and stallion out form their both at the other end of the room. Vinyl lowers her sunglasses and winks at the pair, only to be met with giggles and blushing from the two mares. Vinyl then turns over to Big Mac. "Hey Mac, I think I found a way for you to forget your problems." stated the mare to her friend.
Big Mac just gives her a confused look. Vinyl then leaves the bar and walks up to the pegasus mares. "Why hello there ladies, my name is Vinyl Scratch, what are you two lovely ladies called?" asked the mare, turning her charm up to 11.
"I'm Cloudchaser," spoke the pegasus mare with a spiky white-blue mane. "and this is my sister Flitter," she points to her sister with the light-blue mane and pink bow. "and let's just say that we're on vacation here, looking for a good time." winked Cloudchaser at Vinyl. A huge mischeveous grin forms across the unicorn's face.
"Rarity and her plus one." stated Rarity to the guard at the door with the guest list. The guard looks over the list and just silently motions them in. "Thanks." was all she said as her friend Fluttershy reluctantly follows her.
Both Rarity and Fluttershy, dressed in very extravigant dresses, walking into the mansion to see many high class, fashionable ponies of Canterlot talking to each other with a orchestral music playing in the background. "Okay Fluttershy, remember the deal, we are not leaving until you find a stallion, got that?" whispered the unicorn to her pegasus friend.
"Is that why you booked us seperate rooms at the hotel?" nervously asked the Fluttershy, while nodding in agreement.
"Now you're catching on darling." winked Rarity. "Now clam down, if you need any help just look for me, good luck." and with that, Rarity walks off to socialize, leaving Fluttershy alone in a party full of ponies she doesn't know.
"So," asked Soarin, taking his seat next to Applejack on his living room couch. "what do you to talk about?"
Applejack looks around the house to see that it looks more like a bachelor pad than a proper home. "Ah just wanted t'tell yo' that I've done nothin' but miss yo' these last three months." explained Applejack. "Every since yo' left, ah felt this here great loneliness in mah life, an' it got worse when Dash stopped talkin' t'me an' Big Mac ranaway." the mare looks at him with a sad face, almost about to cry.
Soarin rubs her back to comfort her. "I know how you feel, ever since that day, I've lost my passion in flying and my performace suffered because of that. It got so bad that Spitfire warned me that if I don't improve by spring, I'll be cut from the Wonderbolts." explained Soarin. "Plus I missed those applepies." smirked the pegasus, trying to lighten the mood. Applejack manages to smile at that, she then wraps Soarin into a hug.
"Ah missed yo' so much Soarin." whispered Applejack as she starts to cry.
"I know" whispered Soarin back, letting the mare cry on his shoulder.
It was all a blur to Big Mac, one minute he and Vinyl were talking to two pegasus mares at the nightclub, and the next, they're in their shared hotel room, watching Vinyl, on the bed next to his, making-out with Cloudchaser. Normally, he would greatly enjoy the show, but his mind was too focused on Fluttershy to care.
"Don't you want to have some fun?" poutted Flitter, kissing him on the lips, the stallion dosen't react. She's upset that Cloudchaser is having all the fun. "What's wrong? Don't you want to rut me senseless?" she then hops off the bed and gets into rutting position, giving Big Mac a full view of her marehood. Big Mac just stares at her blankly.
"Ah's sorry, ah would love to, but ah's just not in th' mood." stated the stallion trying to be polite.
"Well, I know a way I can get you in the mood." said Flitter seductavly, "Just relax and let me do all the work." she then pushes Big Mac, who lands on the bed on his back, the pegasus then winks at him. But Big Mac didn't pay much attention to her, as his mind started wandering to something else entirely.
"I love you Mackie, I love you so much." stated Fluttershy, cuddled up to Big Mac on the couch, in the living room of their very own home.
"Ah love yo' sugarcube." responded a happy Big Mac, looking down into his wife's blue eyes.
"MOMMY, DADDY!" yells a foals voice entering the room.
The fantasy suddenly ends when Big Mac feels a strange sensation between his hindlegs, he looks down to see Flitter's bobbing head on his crotch, shocking the stallion. He then uses his hindlegs to forcibly push the pegasus off of him, causing the pegasus mare to crash on the flood with a "THUD".
"OW WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU! YOU YOKEL!" yelled a very angry Flitter, getting herself up from the floor.
"WHAT DID YOU CALL HIM?" angry yelled Vinyl at Flitter, pushing Cloudchaser off of her.
"A yokel, that's what I called him." spat Flitter. "What? Do you get offended when ponies call your coltfriend that red-eyes?"
Vinyl just growls at her and hops off the bed, angry sparks flying from her horn. "I WANT YOU TWO SLUTS OUT! OUT!" demanded the angry unicorn. The two pegasi just give her dirty looks in return.
"Come one sis, we'll have a better time with just us two than with these freaks, let's go." stated Cloudchaser, she then trotts out of the room, with Flitter happily following her out and the slamming the door shut. Big Mac and Vinyl now find themselves alone in their hotel room.
"Sorry ah ruined yer fun." was all a guilt-ridden Big Mac was able to say.
"That's okay Mac, I'll probably have groupies after my next show anyways." stated Vinyl, trying to make her friend feel better. "Besides, I only did this for you." the unicorn then lays back on her own bed, while Big Mac gives her a confused look. "You're still thinking about her huh?" asked Vinyl, Big Mac just saddly nods in agreement. "Then I suggest that when you're ready to go back home, you get back to her."
Big Mac is confused at what Vinyl is telling him. "You hear me Mac? I need you to get back to her and make it up to her, no matter what it takes, you hear? Take this advice from a friend and get back together with her, okay?" continued Vinyl, waiting for a response from the stallion.
Big Mac just looks into her red eyes and says the most sincerest thing he can think of. "Eeyup."
Vinyl just smiles at him. "Well, I guess we'll be sleeping earlier than we thought, good night Mac." said the unicorn, tucking herself in while turning off the lights to their hotel room. Big Mac does the same but this time only saying "Eeyup."
Fluttershy is standing by herself in front of the punch bowl at the party, she was too afraid and shy to talk to guests, plus she can't help but think of Big Mac. She was desperate to leave, but can't because Rarity went off somewhere in the mansion with a random stallion.
"Fluttershy? Is that you?" said a feminine voice with a vague accent. Fluttershy turns around to see the familiar face of Photo Finish standing next to her. "It is you! How have you been?" greeted the fashion photographer.
"Um...okay..." mumbled Fluttershy, still nervous.
"Oh let me guess, Miss Rarity brought you here did she?" mused Photo in her dramatic flare. Fluttershy just nervously nods in agreement. "Now let me have another guess...she brought you here to meet a stallion, ya?" Fluttershy just quietly nods again. "Now tell me Miss Fluttershy, what kind of stallion are you looking for?"
"Well, one who is honest, hard working, puts loved ones and family first and will always be there for me and dependable." nervously explained the pegasus to the photographer.
"Tough luck darling, you're are not going to find what you're looking for around here, I've been in the business for a long time and trust me, all the stallions here are not good for you AT ALL! Maybe for Miss Rarity, but not for you." explained the photographer.
"You really...think so?" asked the pegasus.
"Of course darling! I'm Photo Finish, I know about these things! So I suggest you get your shriking violet rump out of here before these horrible stallions start talking to you and find your special somepony!" suggested the mare. Fluttershy just smiles at her advice.
"You're right! Thank you so much!" said a determined Fluttershy, thankfull. She then gallops off to find Rarity.
"Well that fills my good deed quota for the month." mumbled Photo Finish to herself, watching the pegasus leave.
"Rarity! Rarity! We're are you?!" shouted Fluttershy, although it sounded more like a normal speaking voice.
"YES!...YES!...YES!" yelled Rarity's panting voice from behind a bedroom door. Fluttershy walks up to the door and puts her up against the wood. "HARDER DAMN IT!...HARDER!" she hears her friend demand. The pegasus quickly puts the pieces together and finally realizes what Rarity is doing.
"Oh...my..." mumbled Fluttershy, her face beet red from embrassement. She then gallops off full speed out of the mansion, then flies off back to her hotel room to get some sleep. "I guess I'll be doing this on my own." said the pegasus to herself.
At Soarin's house, both Soarin and Applejack are sleeping in front of the fireplace, cuddling and wrapped in blanks. After talking to each other for an hour, catching up on what they did during the last three months, Applejack agreed to spend the night while Soarin offered that they sleep in front of the fireplace together with blankets due to the fact that his home gets cold during the night. Both then fell asleep, their legs wrapped around each other in a loving embrace.
Tomorrow is Hearth's Warming Eve.
