At the Bar
It happened at a bar
On occasion Celestia, Luna, and I would disguise ourselves and hit the town. Usually this involved going to a diner or a movie. I have grown quite fond of those tofu dogs. Vile creation, but not as bad as I first thought. I digress.
This time was different though.
Luna’s guard captain, Starlit Dawn, one of her weird batponies or whatever you’d call them, and Shining Armor took us to their favorite bar. Cadance was along as well although she disappeared early that night and didn’t turn up again until the next morning. Apparently, she went to a donut shop and gorged herself on baked goods. I guess she has some kind of addiction from what her husband tells me. Again I digress.
I learned some very important things that night: One, Shining Armor can’t hold his liquor; Two, Luna is an angry drunk; Three and most interesting, Celestia is a fun drunk.
It was quite late when it happened.
Luna and her captain had a drinking contest that finished with what can best be described as the most pathetically hilarious hoof-fight ever. Shining Armor was passed out at the bar and a few of the Night Guard were drawing on his face; immature children. Still funny though.
And Celestia, Princess Perfect-Composed-Stoic-Superior Pants as I referred to her in my head that night. I was drunk, sue me. She was on our booth’s table dancing with a lampshade on her head. Where she obtained it is anyone's guess.
I guess I should mention that she was a normal-sized, pink-maned pegasus mare and I was a dark-coated unicorn mare. We were in disguise after all.
Anyway, this was the most hilarious thing I had ever seen. I just couldn’t stop giggling. Damn alcohol makes me giggly apparently. It was even funnier when she tripped and fell to the floor. The kicker was her raising a hoof to the air and saying “I’m okay.” I don’t know why, but that sent me over the edge. I burst out laughing. I couldn’t help it.
Of course since I was drunk all that laughing caused me to fall over and land next to her. By this point she was laughing as well.
Her mane was spreadout in all directions, she lost the lampshade in the fall it seemed, and I couldn’t help but think in my drunken stupor that the pink locks must’ve tasted like bubblegum.
I was disappointed.
I’m not sure how long we laughed after that, but I do remember how much panting we did afterwards. I think that that may have been the first time I had ever laughed that hard in my life.
After we caught our breath, it happened.
Princess Perfect-Composed-Stoic-Superior Pants rolled over on top of me and kissed me.
I sobered up almost immediately.
I was shocked to say the least. I just laid there frozen while she kissed me. That minute that our lips were pressed together felt like an eternity. But after that minute passed she rolled off of me and proceeded to pass out.
She's cute when she’s passed out drunk by the way.
The thing that bugged me the most, and don’t make a damn bug joke, was that I kind of liked it. I spent the next few minutes on the floor berating myself for not kissing her back.
Captain Dawn came over and broke me from my reverie; last call was being called. Heh, call called. I thought that was funny. Again I was drunk.
Given that we were the only ones not passed out and Cadance was nowhere to be found, I carried Celestia, I couldn’t think of her by that other name after that kiss, while Dawn carried Luna and Armor. Give that mare credit, she’s stronger than she looks.
I spent the whole trip back to the castle lost in thought.
I liked it that Celestia kissed me. I liked how her arms were wrapped around my neck, how she nuzzled me to get comfortable.
It had been a year since my failed assault on Canterlot and by this point we had become good friends. In fact, we had become each other’s best friend.
I liked spending time with her. We would play games, she loves that one trivia game; she almost always wins. She cheats. I liked going to the movies or having dinner with her even if technically Luna was there most of the time and we weren’t alone. It was just the two of us a few times though.
Almost like they were dates.
We had been spending more time together before that night; just the two of us. Luna would say she had royal duties to attend to.
Luna’s reasons always seemed suspect to me. She and her sister would usually make sure to have these nights free so we could have our nights on the town. She’s also not that great of a liar.
I remember thinking that maybe Celestia had convinced Luna to forgo some of our nights out so that it would be just the two of us. Having dinner together, going to a movie afterwards, or a number of the others things we would occasionally do.
I remember coming to the conclusion that Celestia liked me. I mean really liked me. Maybe the alcohol just made her do something she’d been meaning to do for a while now.
Of course before I could have thought more on that we arrived at the castle.
Dawn dumped Armor on the stairs, they have a bit of a rivalry even now, and we took both of the unconscious princesses to their rooms.
I remember tucking Celestia in after I broke the glamor spell she was using. I remember shifting back to my true form. I remember thinking how beautiful she was. And most importantly, I remember giving her a soft kiss on the lips before I left.
I went to my room and fell asleep with a smile on my face.

“And that’s the story of our first kiss,” Chrysalis said, “and when I started to think that there might’ve been something more between us.”
Princess Twilight Sparkle sat across from Chrysalis in the Royal Den, a cup of tea on the coffee table in front of her.
“That wasn’t as romantic as I thought it would be,” said Twilight.
“It was plenty romantic. Didn’t you listen to the end?”
Twilight took a sip of her tea. “Well yes, but my first kiss with my marefriend was under the night sky; the stars shining down on us. Our eyes met and we slowly grew closer and closer until we-”
“Oh please,” Chrysalis interrupted, “even I know that that’s a load of crap.”
Twilight’s eyes narrowed. “And how would you know?”
“Your other friends were spying the two of you and Rarity is quite the gossip.” Chrysalis took a smug victory sip of her own tea.
“Hmph, fine. Rainbow couldn’t spit it out and practically lunged at me to get a kiss. Still more romantic than your story.” Twilight stuck her tongue out at Chrysalis.
“Are you looking to start something, Sparkle?”
Twilight set her tea aside and planted her front hooves on the table in front of her. She leaned toward Chrysalis and shot her a glare, “Maybe I am.”
Chrysalis mimicked Twilight’s movements and returned her glare. “Bring it.”
“Oh just stop it you two.”
Their confrontation was cut short by the appearance of Celestia at the entryway. She trotted over to Chrysalis and nuzzled her. “I’m glad that you two don’t really hate each other anymore, but I do wish you would stop being so antagonistic.”
Chrysalis and Twilight exchanged looks.
“Fine,” they said together.
They settled back on their respective couches with Celestia joining Chrysalis and snuggling up next to her.
“Oh and Chrysie,” Celestia said.
Chrysalis looked at her. “Yes?”
“I wasn’t drunk.”
