//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: Party // Story: Twilight's new feather // by Onyxfire408 //------------------------------// Chapter 7: Party Eagle walked down the road with Rebel after the small magical chaos he had created. Seriously, that was chaotic. They arrived at their home as Eagle grabbed a bowl from the kitchen as he poured some dog food for Rebel to engulf. As Rebel started to dog down on his food, Eagle took a nearby book and started to read. They continued to do their activities as Eagle looked through his door to see Celestia's sun started to sink inside a field, he looked at his phone to see the time was 8:45. "C'mon boy, let's go to the party." Eagle said to his husky as Rebel barked and wagged his tail in happy agreement. Eagle placed his weapons on his back and flashed them gone as the two walked out and through the small town as they were rudely interrupted as Eagle could hear a distinctive loud warning. "Look oooooouuuuuuuuttt!!!!" Eagle flinched around as he could see a nearing cyan blue pegasus bolting through the town. Eagle tried to move away from the pegasus but reacted too late as he could feel himself and the pegasus both tumbling and rolling gathering dirt and bugs. The barrel rolling stopped as they both lied on the ground, multiple ponies surrounded the two downed ponies as Rebel came whistling through the crowd. He trotted towards his master as he started to sniff his face. The husky started to pat his paw on Eagle face making a 'wake up' expression. He started to lick Eagle face, lathering it with dog slobber and spit as Eagle woke up. He sat up as he could feel the husky's drool slathered all across his face, he hissed in disgust as he whipped away the drool with his hand. "Damn Rebel, why ya gotta do that?" He asked as the husky gave a simple bark at Eagle making him unimpressed. Eagle looked over to the pegasus who toppled over him as his eyes widened. She was a pegasus with a sky cyan coat and a mane and tail with colors of the rainbow. Oh crap, is that her? Eagle stood up as he put a hand out towards the mare. "Need some help?" He asked hiding his surprised emotion. The pegasus hissed in pain as she opened her eyes to see a brown unicorn stallion putting a hand a hand out for aid. The mare frowned as she swatted away the hand and flew up straight. "I don't need your help." She said in a tough tone as Eagle raised an eyebrow. "Ooooohhhkay." He simply said. "Well, just watch out next time." He advised to the pegasus as Eagle simply walked away from her with Rebel by his side. Eagle reached Sugar Cube Corner as he could feel a slight tapping on his shoulder. He knew who was tapping his shoulder, and he knew what she was going to ask. Eagle turned around with hidden annoyance as he could see nopony there, he raised an eyebrow to find that the pegasus was airborne and started to tap his head. A small patch of red struck Eagle's forehead as he started to loose it. "You the new one?" Eagle let out a heavy sigh of nirvana as he faced the mare. "Yea, moved in yesterday." "Hey I know you." She admired as Eagle's eyes shrunk but frowned in worry. "You're that one pony Twilight bumped into. You okay man?" "Yea, I've had worse. Well my name Eagle Eye, you?" "Rainbow Dash! Best flier of all of Equestria!" The mare said as she flew up in the are with a massive cocky grin and tone. "Well nice to meet you Rainbow, but I gotta go to Sugar Cube Corner." Eagle said as he started to walk towards the bakery. Inside the window, a orange mare kept waving her hands and pointing her fingers at the pegasus. The cyan pegasus quickly rained sweat as she looked around for a diversion, she saw the dog next to Eagle as a light bulb flashed above her head. The pegasus flew over to the husky as it stopped causing it's master to stop. "What are you doing?" Eagle asked as he noticed the pegasus mare started to scratch the top of Rebel's head causing him to lay down on his stomach. "Just petting your dog." "Well can you stop? I'm going to be late for this party I was invited to." He said pointing his thumb at the bakery store. He stopped as he looked over to the window to find an orange mare quickly zoom off Eagle's sight. Eagle connected the dots as he stared into the mare's eyes with annoyance. "I see what you're trying to do." "W-What do you mean?" The mare asked as bullets of sweat rained from her forehead. She knew she was done for, this stallion was ferry keen in sense. "You're trying to distract me from party aren't you? If that's the note then you should have just told me." He said with a simple tone as Rainbow Dash face palmed. "Are you serious! I mean I literally had to crash into you!" She yelled in annoyance at Eagle as he felt annoyed and wanted to keep flat like cardboard. But he lied and cringed back in fake fear in order to keep balance. He knew that if he didn't hold back, he would be feared among the town and would create a name, he just wanted to peace and quiet. "S-Sorry, jeez just calm the hay down." he lied through a fake expression as Rainbow grunted and pointed her face away. "Alright, just wait outside for like 5 minutes, the party should start soo-" "HIYA EAGLE!!!" "GYAA!!!!" The two screamed through shock as they could see Pinkie Pie right in front of their faces. The pink mare giggled as she grasped Eagle's whole arm and started to pull him towards the bakery. "C'mon you two, let's PARTY!!!!" The sugar pink pony exclaimed as she dragged Eagle inside the bakery. In there, balloons, confetti, and food rained down on the party as they partied hard. The music wubbed and dubbed as Eagle bounced his body with the music. He was offered a few drinks from Applejack, including a shot glass filled with red liquid, he easily intoxicated himself but still stood with minor consciousness. Then a certain song spun as Eagle felt a touch on his shoulder. He turned to find a blue turquoises mare with a pink peachy mane and tail smiling at him. "Wanna dance?" She asked as Eagle smiled at the mare. "Yea sure, why not?" The mare 'eed' as she dragged Eagle to the middle of the dance floor. The two started to move to the beat as they moved their bodies to the rhythm. "So what's your name?" "Lotus, you?" "Just call me Eagle." The two continued to dance as they broke out their sweat. Lotus then grabbed Eagle's whole arm as she dragged him towards the couch, the two sat down as she raised her hand towards Pinkie Pie who nodded at her. "So Lotus, what do you do in Ponyville?" "Oh, my sister and I own the local spa in Ponyville." "Really? That's interesting." "Yes, it's quite the job." Pinkie Pie returned with a silver platter with two drinks, both bright green liquid with icy fog appearing from them. Lotus smiled as she took both glasses and handed one towards Eagle. He took the glass and examined the liquid with a squinted set of lids as he simply placed the lid down and slightly frowned with disappointment. "Sorry, but I think I've had a little bit too much." He said as he noticed that Lotus was knocked out, she laid unconscious from the liquid she had just consumed. "Hey pinkie, what was in that?" "Oooooooo noooothing, just some super intoxicating stuff aged with perfection, and superly chilly iced to perfection! It's my secret stash of my super secret, "Bazai Blast!!!", and it's totally one to die for." She said with a 'squee' as she bounced away from Eagle's sight. He eyeballed at the unconscious mare as he gave a heavy sigh. Oh just help her already! But she's pretty much dead. Just help her already! I mean remember what happened to- Don't, go there. Then just help her. Ugh fine! Eagle looked around to find the town's ponies still in the hip of the party. He reached inside the mare's pocket and pulled out her wallet, he opened it and looked at the address as he closed it and put it back in her pocket. He picked up the mare and carried her over his shoulders, he called over to Rebel as he trotted next to Eagle as they walked out of the party, hoping to be unnoticed. As they walked out of the bakery, he noticed a tap on his shoulder, he turned to see Twilight Sparkle having a confused look on her face. "Hey where are you going? There's still a party out here." She reminded with a smile as Eagle returned the expression. "Yea I know, but this pony looks dead to me." "Oh you mean Lotus?" She asked as Twilight pointed at the unconscious mare. "She'll be fine, she's had worse. I mean what did she drink?" "What was it? Pinkie's so called "Bazai Blast"." He quoted as Twilight's hair frisked up in shock. "Wait what? Oh no, we gotta get her home straight away. Here I'll come with you, I know where she lives, and I think her sister is home so she'll take care of the rest." Twilight said with Eagle nodding as the three made their way towards Lotus' house. "So Eagle, where did you move from?" "I moved here from Canterlot." "Canterlot? Why here? I mean Canterlot is a great and majestic place." "Yea, I mean don't get me wrong, Canterlot is nice but, I think I'd rather have a nice place to rest with the grass against my coat and along with my dog rolling in it, with fresh farm grown food and nice ponies to talk to. No more snobs and and rich asses to say "Oh you welp, I'm richer that you are", or when they say "Oh, have you seen the latest croquet game?" or something, you know what I mean?" He asked as he imitated a rich like accent causing the lavender unicorn to giggle. "Yea I guess, by the way, don't you have a job yet?" "Well not yet, I'm still looking for one." "Oh well maybe you can help me? I need a personal 'delivery boy'." Eagle's face turned flat as he stared at the mare with a flat expression. "Okay I'm not some sort of child." "N-No I mean." Twilight cleared her throat. "I mean I need someone to deliver books to ponies when they order one. I get some mailed orders from other ponies for books they want to read. I just need you to deliver and/or pick up any rented books I may have given." Twilight explained as she rained sweat from her head. "I mean I would have my assistant Spike do it, but he's just a baby dragon, and he does a lot of work for me already, so um if you could..." She trailed off, having nothing else to say hoping for Eagle to accept. Eagle placed a checked shape hand on his hand as he thought about it. Being jobless in Ponyville wouldn't make a right image, and it's not hard or too easy. Plus it could be a good way to explore around the town, hoping to uncover any secret. But he wasn't sure. "Ehhhhhhh, gimme some time to think about." He said as Twilight nodded. The two reached an apartment building as they entered an elevator, Twilight hit a floor button as they waited with the music. "So Twilight, you work at the library right?" She nodded. "So how many books have you read so far?" Twilight was shocked, she never knew this stallion was so keen and smart. "W-What? How do you know I read so many books?" "Well it's almost obvious. You're a young unicorn surrounded by books, and not just books, but arcanic knowledge." He said as Twilight began to blush at Eagle's kind workds. "O-Oh, um, thank you." Twilight said trying to hide her blush from Eagle. The three both arrived at the apartment room as Eagle knocked on the door. The door opened revealing a mare very similar to Lotus, but with opposite colors. "Um, excuse me are you Lotus' sister?" "Oui, I am Aloe." (French: Yes) "Oh so you speak prench. *ahem* Je ne crois que ce qui vous appartient." (I do believe this belongs to you.) Eagle said as he pointed at the drunken dead Lotus. "Mon Celestia Lotus, encore une fois?" My Celestia Lotus, again!? Aloe said with shock and small anger as Eagle handed Lotus to Aloe. "Thank you, and I am sorry for the trouble monsieur?" (Mister?) Aloe dazed off asking for the stallion's name. "Eagle Eye, and soyez le bienvenu." (You're welcome) He said with a bow as Aloe closed the door. The three started to make their way down through the elevator as they reach the ground. The walked outside as Eagle tapped Twilight on the shoulder causing her to create a small blush. "Hey Twilight, I've been thinking, and I think I'll take upon that job you offered." He said causing the lavender unicorn to smile as she embraced the brown stallion causing them to both blush. Twilight quickly ejected herself from the hug as she began to blush brightly. "O-Oh Um, I'm sorry." "It's okay, so when do I start?" "Just come by the library tomorrow at 9am and I'll give you some basic orders." Twilight said as Eagle nodded and called Rebel to go home. Eagle reached his alleyway and opened his door to his massive mysterious home. He took off his clothes, placed his weapons on the couch and laid on the bed feeling slightly drunk, but soon dozed off and fell asleep as the alcohol started to hit his brain.
