Love Is Magic

The liquor talking

After having such an amusing time in the fancy restaurant, the two couples considered Vinyl’s request and headed to the nightclub she was performing in. They paid the bill and headed out of the restaurant. There was an extinguished view waiting for them.

The sky was really clear at that time of the night. The stars shone brightly, the moon was full, everything was beautiful and extremely prefect. Twilight was taken away from her friends by the outstanding view and kept gazing at some familiar constellations. She continued glancing to the sky and stopped moving. She entirely forgot her friends and the ponies accompanying her and got lost in the magical sight in front of her. But she was drawn back to the earth by a soft touch from Luna on her shoulder and her sweet, soft voice.

“You seem to really like the view tonight.” Luna said with a smile.

“Huh!” Twilight said like she was awakened from a wonderful fantasy. And she turned to her lover. “Yeah, it’s been a while since I saw the sky so clearly.”

“I feel somehow offended.” Luna said playfully. “Like you say I’m not perfecting my task.”

“No, of course not sweetie,” Twilight said in a very apologetic way. “I’ve never meant to say that.”

Luna giggled a bit because off Twilights seriousness. “I was just teasing you a bit darling. You shouldn’t take everything seriously.”

“You shouldn’t do that often as well.”

“Do what?”

“Tease me.”

Luna burst out laughing. And twilight looked really sad by now. “I’m sorry. But you just look so adorable when you’re teased.”
“Well, I can look adorable in less offending ways as well.” Twilight said in a serious tone, or at least acting serious. But she couldn’t help to laugh a bit.

There was a pause of silence between the two lovers. They took the chance to swim in each other’s eyes for a bit. Their eyes widened, sparking softly in the moonbeam. They couldn’t help but to come closer to each other. And eventually they locked their lips in a short, yet very affectionate kiss.

After breaking the kiss Twilight looked to the sky with a sad look in her eyes. She let out a sigh with a depressing tone in it then she started again. “But looking at this sight brought back memories of the days that we used to stargaze together. And it made me realize that we hadn’t done it for a long time. It made me realize that we have been apart for a long time. I’m just-“
Her statement was cut with some small sound of crying. She tried to hide it but it was too late. Luna stood there with tears formed at the corner of her eye for a while. Then she wrapped her front limbs and her wings around Twilight in a soft embrace.

“It’s okay Twily, I’m here now right next to you. And I’ll be forever next to you. Even if I get busy sometimes. You’re never absent from my heart and mind. And I told you before that we’ll always be together I can assure you that.”

When Luna felt that Twilight got more relaxed, she eased the embrace a little and looked into Twilight’s eyes. Then she continued. “For now we should enjoy the beautiful night and the fact that we’re right next to each other. We’ll just have fun and let the future resolve this issue.”

“Okay.”

“Daww, that was so romantic.”

The two mares were snapped out of their state by that phrase. They both turned their heads to the source of the sound. And they saw Rarity standing there. She was blushing a little bit from revealing her existence to the couple.

“I’m terribly sorry.” Rarity said. “I really didn’t mean to say that out loud. Please forgive my innocent and stupid interruption.”

“It’s okay Rarity.” Twilight said. “I think that I’m the one who should apologize for keeping you waiting.”

“Oh, it’s not a big deal. Vinyl’s performance won’t start for an hour, so we still have plenty of time.”

“I think we better resume if we don’t want to be late.” Luna said as she started moving along, followed by Twilight, who ran a little to catch up with her and walk beside her. She made sure that she was as close to her as she could get as if she was assuring herself that Luna is really with her and that she wouldn’t disappear.

“Luna.”

“Yes Twilight.”

“Please promise me that you’ll always be with me.”

Luna looked at Twilight in the eyes. And then she said “I promise.” And she said every word with all the emotions she could gather.

“I really love you Luna.”

“And I love you too Twilight.”


The couples kept walking for about fifteen minutes. Then they reached a big, wild looking nightclub. Its sign was formed of big blue neon lamps. The name of the club was “The Electrified Dragon.” There were two big ponies standing on both sides of the big glass gate of the club. Each one was the same size and appearance as the pony called Snowflake.

They opened the gates and stepped into the night club. It was a really energetic atmosphere. Everypony was having fun either on the dance floor or sitting drinking and laughing. The house music was all over the place, adding to the energy of the place with the enthusiastic beats.

They settled themselves down at one of the tables. The place was appealing for Princess Luna and Applejack, but Twilight and Rarity seemed a little down. Twilight tried not to show it so she wouldn’t ruin the cheerful mood again.

“What’s wrong Rares?” Applejack said. “You seem down sugarcube.”

“Oh, nothing darling,” Rarity said as casual as possible. “I’m just not used to such loud music.”

“Well, the music is a little loud.” Luna said. “But it’s something predictable for a place with such energy.”

“I guess that you’re right P- ah.. Luna.” Rarity said with a little hesitation, which made the whole group laugh.

“I- I’m sorry. But I still can’t get used to referring to you with just your bare name.”

“Well, Applejack has been doing this effortlessly.”

“Well, ya said that we’re friends. And ah know that friends don’t have titles between each other.”

“You’re extremely right. I hope that you deliver that idea to your lover.”

That comment made them share a good laugh again. But they were interrupted by the coming of Vinyl.

“Sup guys.” The D.J said in her energetic way.

“Vinyl, hey.” Twilight said.

“I hope you’re enjoying your time.”

“We are having a wonderful time. Thank you for your concern.” Rarity said.

“Well, that’s good, because you’re about to be blown away.”

“Why, is there a bomb in the place?” Rarity said, half panicking.

“In fact there is.” Vinyl said with a creepy tone, trying to scare Rarity more. “There is a bomb of awesome wubs about to get blown.”

“Oh, ehm-“Rarity said with a red face. “Sure, I knew that.”

They all just burst out laughing.

“Ya look so adorable when you’re clumsy.”

“I wasn’t clumsy. I utterly panicked.”

“In a clumsy way.”

They continued laughing until there was an announcement for Vinyl to come on the stage to start her performance.
“Sorry, guys. Gotta go and light up the stage. Oh, and as a gift. I talked with the bartender. And all the drinks are on the house.”

And before they had the opportunity to thank her properly she was on the stage and started her performance. And she was right, the moment she started her music the dancing floor was set on fire. She was more than amazing. And there were a couple of hip-hop dancing wars between local dancing squads. The atmosphere was, at the least to be said, electrified.

The four mares thought that the best way to show their gratitude for the little gift given to them by the D.J is to take it. But they took it too far. And soon the four mares were on a fast truck going the speed of light towards that place called “as drunk as hell”.

And it was shown in all their behaviors. Starting from the fact that Applejack was doing a seductive dance on the table they were sitting on, which was now full of empty glasses. To the utter incident that Applejack wanted to have sex with Rarity in the middle of the dancing floor. But fortunately there were escorted to outside the club by two guards before they could do anything they would both regret. But that all was children’s play compared to what happened when someone teased the drunken princess of the night.

The misfortunate incident started when a playful drunk stallion went towards the mares’ table and started talking to Twilight.
“Hey there beautiful.” The stallion said.

“A- are you talking to me?” Twilight said, apparently drunk enough to be careless and uncomprehending to the consequences of this chat.

“Yes, how about you join me in my private room? I’ll give you some candy.”

At this point Luna started to act. But of course she was too drunk to act in a decent or a diplomatic way. So she went with the straightest way possible.

“What do you want from her, asshole?” Luna said in a way that would make any sober pony to flee for his life. But of course the only sober individual there was the bartender.

“Back off bitch or I’ll smack you.” The stallion said that with great confidence. But after just seconds he wished that his mouth has been locked with a spell before he could even start saying those words.

Luna lost it because of the insult. The princess of the night started glowing; her eyes became brighter than the brightest spotlight in the club. She grabbed the now shaking to death stallion with her magic. And she levitated a knife and pointed it to his chest. And what made it worse is that she started using her Canterlot royal voice.

“HOW DARE THOU SAY SUCH A FOUL THING TO YOUR PRINCESS? NOW YOU SHALL MEET YOUR END.”

The voice of Luna made Twilight snap out of her condition. She started to act immediately trying to save her lover from committing a crime.

“Luna, please put down the knife, and let’s leave before something bad happens.”

Luna looked to Twilight with a look loaded with a thousand daggers. Her light head allowed the old spirit of evil inside her to take over. Making her forget all the emotion she had except for one, anger. So the next phrase was unexpected to come from the princess to the one that she loved dearly.

“DON’T YOU DARE COMMAND ME YOU STUPID MORTAL. BACK OFF OR I SHALL SQUASH YOU LIKE THE FILTHY BUG YOU ARE.”

Twilight stood there shocked. Unable to believe that the sweet princess she loved could say something so dreadful to her. She knew that she wasn’t herself so she started to slowly approach her and try to calm her down.

“Luna, I’m begging you, don’t do so-“ And before she completed her sentence she was tossed away with a huge smack from the princess’s front limb. The hit was so strong that it made Twilight hit the wall then fell violently on the ground.

Twilight remained on the floor for some time. She wasn’t hurt from the smack or the fall. But she couldn’t imagine that Luna would ever hit her. The mare that protected her in her dreams became her worst living nightmare. She started crying hysterically and ran away from the club.

That sight made the princess become aware of what she had done. She became aware of what was happening to her. Her worst fear had happened. She hurt the mare that she loved most dearly.

“TWIIGHT, WAIT.” She called. She dropped the stallion and the knife and galloped after her marefriend. But it was too late. Twilight was nowhere to be found. She kept running but she didn’t see there was a pole in front of her. She hit her head violently and because of being weakened with the liquor, fainted.
