//------------------------------// // Short Chapter; Mornin' Woes. (Start of Season 2) // Story: Conflicting Emotions [Remastered Edition] // by Eclipse //------------------------------// Twilight awoke face down on the floor in a pile of her own vomit; she slowly got up and looked around the library. Twilight gasped and shot up when she saw the pure discord of the situation, the library books were strewn all over the room, and cans and bottles of alcohol laid down on the ground. Twilight sighed lowly and picked herself up slightly and called out for her assistant until she finally realized that she had rudely kicked him out just the other night. “See what you’re doing to yourself Sparkle? You’re drinking yourself to a slow and painful death from sclerosis of the liver and driving your very best friends in all of Equestria away from you…” Twilight started to pick up the cans when she looked around, the library was lying in ruin, and Twilight couldn’t bear to stomach the situation. A knock at the door drove Twilight away from her boasting thoughts as she put down the broom she’d been levitating above her. Twilight opened the door slightly to see Pinkie standing at the door with her usual ‘invitational get-up’ symbolizing that Pinkie was inviting Twilight to one of her famous and wild parties. But Twilight couldn’t make heads or tails of her friend’s vibrant costume because she could barely stand up straight and see past her own muzzle. “Sorry Pinkie, I’m feeling rather sick today, I’d absolutely love to go to one of your parties, but I really think that it’d be best If I were to just stay inside today.” Twilight said, covering her eyes from the sunlight that was now penetrating the room from the small crack in the door. Pinkie hopped up and down, “Oh silly! This party is for you! How silly would it be if the mare that the party is being thrown for isn’t there huh? I mean duuuuh, of course we’re going to invite you, but then again, if you’re sick I guess you can’t go. I was sick one time, I was sneezing all over the place and eating tons and tons of soup. I tried to make soup one time but it didn’t work out so well, Mrs. Cake came in yelling, ‘How in Equestria do you manage to burn soup?!’ But the day turned out great once I washed my mane!” Pinkie finished as Twilight returned a bewildered look at her pink friend. “So you gonna go or not?” Twilight shook her head trying to make sense of everything that her friend had just said, an almost impossible feat when Pinkie Pie was around. “Yeah, okay, okay, I’ll go. But try not have the music up too loud, or have the lights on too bright, right now my head is pounding and I don’t need any more aggravation to that.” Twilight said as Pinkie nodded and giggled. “Oh Twilight, it must be horrible for you to know that no pony understands what you say most of the time, but we still like you anyways! Another thing I like is cupcakes, the sweet frosting and taste of them, though everypony seems to stay away from the cupcakes I make nowadays. I stay away from a lot of places because the Cakes don’t like me roaming around all over creation, but that’s another story! Maybe next time I see you I’ll tell you about what I did yesterday!” Pinkie said as she skipped away once again leaving Twilight in total bewilderment, and only one thing could come to her mind. “Why do I continue to hang out with these lunatics?” ---- Author's note, Yes, short chapters will start every new season as a bit of a teaser 'til I can write more. I've been on a hell of a hiatus so, don't kill me. But, enjoy.
