//------------------------------// // Bonus Chapter: Peter and Celestia Share a Drink // Story: Trapped // by Gylden Glor //------------------------------// Just a forenote: this is based upon a concept introduced in the previous chapter. Also, it takes place before Peter is captured by the Changelings, when he is first appointed to his position as Head Royal Technician. I gingerly rap on the royal door with a knuckle. "Princess?" I call out, sweat beading on my body as I look right at her. "Uh...you called me?" "Yes," the celestial ruler responds with a warm smile. "Why do you seem to be so afraid, Peter? I thought we were friends." "Yeah, but...the guard you sent told me it was about my job," I announce. "Are you...like, firing me?" "No, no," Celestia responds with a chuckle. "Come, have a seat." I sigh in relief as I approach the table Celestia is sitting in front of, and lower myself into a comfortable seat to her left. She nods to me, and proceeds to pull a few bottles out of a bucket of ice. One of the bottles is a brilliant gold, while the other is a soothing silver. "Tech has retired," she announces as she places the liquor down on the table. "I was going to give him a party for his retirement, but...he's already working on another project in his own workshop." I can't help but chuckle a bit as Celestia places glasses before the both of us. "Yep, that's Tech..." Celestia nods silently, and pours liquid from the silver bottle into both of our glasses. "Now, I've been thinking about who should be the new Head Royal Technician, and I believe-" "Princess, if I may?" I interrupt. She nods. "Uh...what is this, exactly?" I ask as I swirl the glass around. "And...why is it glowing?" "That is known as MoonShine," she informs me. "It is extracted from the glow of the moon, and contains the energy of light itself. Of course, the SunShine is much more potent - but I decided that we'd start off soft." I nod, and motion for her to continue. I feel a bit pompous and like a complete asshole as I do so. "Now, I've decided that the new Head Technician should be none other than you," she announces. I grin at her, and she uses magic to lift up her own glass. "Congratulations, Peter. Cheers." I thank her before curiously taking the glass to my lips. I tilt it backwards, and let a small amount come to my mouth as I sip, and- "Holy fucking shit!" I cry as I hold the drink at arms' length. Celestia giggles as I cough and sputter. "That's...that's strong!" "Well, of course it is," Celestia announces. "How else do you expect me to get drunk?" I shake my head as I gingerly take another sip, taking time to appreciate the taste a bit more. It tastes... Well, it tastes like a cool autumn breeze. I guess...shit, it is really hard to describe the taste! I begin to giggle to myself as I swirl the glass around. "What?" Celestia asks as she finishes her glass. "It tastes funny," I announce as I grin at the liquid. I take another sip. "I like it." Celestia smiles. "I thought you would," she announces. She opens the golden bottle, and pours herself a glass of that. "You stay on the MoonShine. I'll drink the SunShine for now. I'm afraid what it would do to you." I nod as I eye her drink. It's glowing very strongly, yet...it doesn't hurt my eyes. It's bright, yet subdued. Strange. Almost like it's a soft lantern. A few moments later...no, it's like a minute...wait...forty one seconds? I don't know, but I like this drink... Oh, it's empty? Darn it...no fair! "'Tia, can I have som're?" I ask, unable to remain upright as I lean on the table. Heheh...tabl-e... "Why, yes, my wonderful human boy," she coos. She moves the golden bottle of Sun...Shit to me, and I frown as it floats. "I thought you said-" "Shut the fuck up," she snaps. I look up to her, and see that her cheeks are flushed. "Just drink some, you fucking slut..." I giggle as I nod, and she pours a bit into the glass. As she does, the glass wobbles, but she keeps it stead- "Hic!" With a resounding smalashadash, the glass of SunFuck falls onto the...the... Fuck it, it falls. "Oops!" Celestia chirps with a giggle. I'm relieved that there wasn't much left in the bottle for there to be much of a mess. "Oh, you," I tease as I take a brave sip. "Be careful," Celestia whispers into my ear. "It's made out of the sun itself..." I spit out the liquid, which makes Celestia look like a drowned rat. I begin to giggle, forgetting why I spit out the liquid in the first place. Celestia starts to giggle to, and frowns at the broken bottle. "Oh, it broke," she bemoans. "I'll just get..." She lifts up another bottle, and frowns in confusion. "That's weird...I only had two bottles..." I look to the table, and raise my eyebrows in surprise. There are five empty bottles, both of MoonShine and SunShine. Mostly SunShine. Who drank all of that? Whoever it is, they are sooooo drunk... "But don't worry!" Celestia announces. "The sun matter is cool when you drink it?" "...uh...wha?" "The sun matter," Celestia reminds me, covering the entirety of my face with a hoof as she leans in to look right at me. "The SunShine is made out of the sun but it is the cool because it is not the hot..." I blink a few times. "That makes perfect sense," I announce. "Celestia, you're a genius." Her flush intensifies. "I know," she teases. "Go on, drink it." She removes the hoof from my face, and places it on my chest. "M'kay," I announce as I lift the glass to my lips. I tilt it back, and let the golden liquid flow in. It tastes like a summer... A summer... It tastes like sun took a shit... But that shit tasted really good because it was made out of sunshine... "It's nice," I announce as I place it down. Somehow, I end up on the floor. That's weird, I have perfect balance. "Finish your glass," Celestia urges. I nod as I bring it to my face, perfectly placing it in my mouth. Unfortunately, my mouth decides to be a jerk, so most of the liquid ends up en mi cama. "¡A mi me gusta esta bebida mucha señora!" Yo...yo...yo....yo dije? Yeah; si, dijo. Comento. "¿Huh?" "I'm - pfff - sorry - pfff - I - pfff - don't - pfff - understand - pffff - your - pffff - accent - pffffffffffff." "E hamina humina?" Celestia asks me. "Wa kalla," I respond. "Le maka maka?" She asks softly, leaning into me with angled eyebrows. "Le muki muki," I whisper. She moves the final inch, and our lips meet in a kiss. "More alcohol!" Celestia bellows as we part. "We demand more alcohol!" "...more," I agree as I grin, slumping over the table. Why do my lips feel funny? I wake up with a pounding headache. "What the fuck..." I groan to myself. I feel sticky everywhere... "Mmpph..." A feminine voice mutters. I put two and two together, and then add another two as I feel sticky, yet still soft, fur against my bare body. I smile as I cuddle into the mare. "Oh...Rainbow, how much did we have to drink last night?" "Mmmphh...I dunno....ask Rainbow..." I look up with a frown of confusion. "Huh?" I ask, squeezing my eyes shut as I feel a wave of death roll over my BRAINZ. "What're you..." Our eyes meet, and we remain still for a moment. A second later, we're letting our screams loud enought to chafe our vocal chords as we try to roll out of the bed. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in between Celestia's feathers, so I end up being dragged along with her and slammed unceremoniously into the ground, which does wonders for my POUNDING HEADACHE. "Holy shit," I breathe to myself as I stare at the bottles littering the floor. I'd say the table, but the table was overturned at some time or another. "What the fuck..." "I...I believe I had a total of twelve bottles," Celestia announces. A cough, or perhaps a sob, emerges from the back of her throat. "Holy Luna..." We look to each other again, and as we do, tears well up behind my eyes. One high-pitched moan later, I'm crying into Celestia's coat as she hugs me. "I can't believe we..." "Neither can I," she says softly. "And I...cheated on..." She shushes me, and, as soon as I've calmed enough to breathe without sobbing incessantly, she lets go of me. "I'm going to use magic to bring forth memories of last night," Celestia announces. "Why?" I ask, my voice barely a whisper as I curl up to endure the pain. "Why would you want to-" I'm interrupted by vomit. Ten minutes later, Celestia and I are sighing in relief as Luna finishes working his magic. "I can see why you were so apprehensive about coming to me," she announces with a grumble. "How dare you? Especially you, sister." Celestia nods. "I know...I'm sorry, Lu-Lu..." "And you, Peter. You'll have a lot of explaining to do to Rainbow Dash." I nod. "I...I know..." I feel like I want to cry again, but I just don't have it in me. "Now, sister, will you review your liquor-locked memories of the events of last night so I shall admonish you?" Luna asks. Celestia nods with a bitter frown. "Yes, Lu-Lu..." She looks to me, and her horn glows. I feel something in my mind, and- "Wait," I urge. "I thought only you had to remember!" "I'm not going down alone," Celestia hisses before plunging us into memory. I watch from a distance, as does Celestia. "So...we're both in our memories?" Celestia nods. "Because our memories involve each other, and I casted the spell on both of us, we can both watch." I blush. "This is...weird..." Celestia nods again. "But like I said, I'm not going down alone." I nod. I sure hope the guilt I'm feeling was worth it, as in it was really good sex. If it wasn't...then, fuck. Celestia and I watch as I get undressed. Celestia pulls at my clothes - which explains the teeth marks I found when I was putting them back on - to assist me, and within a moment, I'm in the nude. What happens next...is something I can never erase from my memory. I fall over, gasping for air as I clutch the stitch in my side. "I don't...I don't even..." Celestia mutters. I kick my legs in the air as crazy laughter takes over. For the crazy laughter, take your pick from the compilation: "What the fuck..." I pant as I stand upright. I watch as Celestia continues to dance, trying to persuade me to dance with her. I hear her saying that "dancing nude is what all ponies do, isn't that why you got naked?" "This is..." Celestia shakes her head in shame. "This is worse than adultery..." Celestia pulls off a spin, and does some disco move from the pony equivalent of the eighties. I burst out in laughter once more. "Alright," I hear myself announce. I freeze as I watch myself begin to do a helicopter dick. And not on purpose. I'm trying to drunkenly shuffle. Celestia falls onto her own back now, laughing hysterically as I blush, and my past self dances like an asshole. A moment later, we both fall over into a puddle of liquor, and end up rolling around...acting like fish. We both stare at our past selves in confusion and self-disgust for a little while. After a minute of this, Celestia slaps her hoof to her face. "Fast forward!" She announces. Just like that, we end up watching the two idiots in accelerated motion. A few moments later, time returns to normal as we begin to kiss, and lead each other into the bed. Celestia and I exchange a glance of dread. "This is gonna be great," I hear myself giggle. "Yeah," Celestia giggles in response. "I haven't done this in a long time..." "That's not true!" Present Celestia declares, stomping a hoof into the ground. "I made love just last week!" I stare at Celestia for a moment. A few moments later, it turns out that we weren't planning on making love: we were planning on cuddling. And by cuddling, I mean hugging and immediately passing out. "Well," Celestia announces with a blush. "I haven't cuddled with anypony in forty years, so...that's accurate." I nod, and Celestia quickly takes us out of the memories, to stand before Luna. The night Princess loses her shit. "I saw everything!" She declares as she roars in laughter. "You two are such baboons!" Celestia and I blush, and I hear clapping from behind me. "Bravo," Discord announces. "Bravo, Celestia! Truly, an act of alcoholic randomness!" Five seconds later, he's holding his crotch, and Celestia is furiously polishing her golden hoof-boot. "Disgusting," she spits. "I should've thought before I hit this things' balls..." "Yes, Celestia," Discord growls. "You should have." The rest is lost to history's magnificent folds. Because he took her back in time, and made her re-watch her memories. In full. I know this because Celestia dragged me along, too. I sigh as Discord roars in laughter. "Celestia?" "Yes, Peter?" "If Rainbow ever finds out about this, kill me." "Certainly." I nod, and sigh as the memory restarts. This is going to be a long fucking day.
