//------------------------------// // Being Pinkie Keen Lesson Two: Planning, Dancing, and Talking Sexy Pinkie Style // Story: Learning to Love: A Sparkling Sun // by Wolfe15 //------------------------------// Twilight let out a cry of frustration and let her head fall, hitting the table in front of her. She couldn't figure this out! How does one plan a party without a chart, paper, or any plan at all! She shoved all of her papers off her table then let her head rest on the table. She pouted then slowly got up and trotted out of the room. She pouted more when Spike gave her a look of irritation. "What?" She asked softly. Sighing softly he shook his head and walked to the kitchen. She sighed then trotted out of the house. She looked up into the sky then trotted down the street. She needed to distract herself. She bit her lip and looked up in shock when she crashed into a mare. The mare was a smaller white unicorn with an electric blue two toned mane. The mare's sunglasses had been knocked off and her ruby eyes glared at Twilight. "Watch where you're going!" She snapped then got up and moved to pass Twilight. Twilight sighed softly then levitated a pair of sunglasses onto the unicorn's face. "Sorry for crashing into you." Twilight said softly. The unicorn sighed then blew a lock of her mane out of her face. The white unicorn shook her head lightly before shrugging. "No harm no foul. Name’s Vinyl." "Twilight Sparkle." Vinyl cocked her head to the side then eyed Twilight, her eyes looking at the pink crystal around Twilight's neck. "Is that...A Project P crystal?" Twilight raised an eyebrow then frowned. "Project P?" "Project Pinkie." Twilight blinked in shock before slowly nodding, a bit confused. Project P? Vinyl grinned widely before moving closer. Twilight moved back and flushed deeply, very uncomfortable. "What are you doing?" "What lesson are you on?" Vinyl countered, shocking Twilight. "L-Lesson Two." Vinyl grinned then slung a foreleg around Twilight's shoulders. "Congrats Twi. I'm your next teacher. Lesson Two, Planning, Dancing and Talkin' Sexy Pinkie Style!" Twilight gulped but nodded slowly. What was she in for? Lesson 2: Planning, Dancing, and Talking Sexy Pinkie Style Twilight struck a pose and grinned at Vinyl. Vinyl smirked and bobbed her head to the beat of the music. Her magic wrapped around another disc then tossed it into the air. She let it float down to the turn table and continued to play. She smirked and Twilight began to dance. Her dancing was improving vastly since Vinyl was teaching her the right way to “bust a move”. She smiled lightly and finished dancing, panting lightly. "Okay, what now?" Vinyl frowned softly before hopping down from her DJ station. "I don't know. What'd it say on the crystal?" Twilight frowned and looked away. Vinyl raised an eyebrow then bounced over and pulled the crystal from Twilight's neck. She turned it on and they both sat down as the erratic pink blur known as Pinkie Pie ran around talking a mile a minute. "Lesson Two is a three part lesson! Part one is dancing with Vinyl Scratch my main mare friend! Part two is planning a party! Part Three is learning how to put the moves on that special mare in your heart!" Twilight scowled at the mention of planning the party then flushed at the mention of putting the moves on a mare and after some confusing instructions the screen went black. Vinyl smiled and nodded sage like while Twilight glared at the ground. Vinyl chuckled and nudged her lightly. "You okay?" "How can I plan this party?" Vinyl smiled and nodded to a table. "Come on. I'll help you plan." Twilight looked to Vinyl nervously but allowed the other mare to help her. Planning the party was discarded quickly since Twilight's and Vinyl's personalities kept getting in the way of their planning. Twilight winced as she remembered how Vinyl had flipped the table and they were about to do hoof to hoof combat for supremacy, before they were separated by Vinyl's friend, Octavia. Octavia smiled lightly, tiredly really, and said, "So you're Vinyl's new friend?" Twilight nodded and Octavia nodded then smiled at the pink crystal encased in Twilight's magic. "What lesson are you on?" "Two. How do you know about them?" Octavia smiled then took the crystal and chuckled. "My sister made this." Twilight's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open as she digested the information then grinned sheepishly at Octavia. "You're sisters with Pinkie?" Octavia nodded then looked to Twilight. "How about we skip the Party Planning okay? I don't want to have to bury someone tonight." Twilight nodded then paused slightly before looking at her. "Is your father okay?" Octavia blinked before chuckling lightly and nodding. "He took a nasty fall in the rock mines but the worst he actually got was a broken leg." Twilight nodded in relief and Octavia grinned saucily. "Now the next part is putting the moves on that special mare." Twilight flushed and nodded while Vinyl popped out of nowhere. "Ohhhh! I love this part!" Twilight and Octavia squealed in shock and moved back as Vinyl smirked. "I know just the place to go!" Twilight ordered another shot of vodka and slid lower in her seat as Octavia did the same. Vinyl was too busy using the worst pick-up lines on a poor mare to their left. "Do you have a map? I just keep on getting lost in your eyes." The mare being tortured, I mean, hit on giggled and leaned towards Vinyl while Octavia rubbed her eyes in exasperation. "Just ignore Vinyl." "Hey don't get in the way of my awesome and classic pick-up lines." Octavia scoffed and smirked, raising an eyebrow. "Those lines are stupid." Vinyl scowled while Octavia leaned toward her and said, "I don't think it can get any worse than that." Vinyl chuckled and they both smirked at each other. Twilight moved a bit further down the bar as Vinyl and Octavia stared each other down. "Same wager Octy?" "Of course." They shook hooves and Twilight watched in wonder as they rushed up to different mares. Round one: Vinyl versus blue coated mare with green mane Vs. Octavia versus green coated mare with red eyes Vinyl trotted up to a blue mare and took a seat at her hooves, looking up cutely. "If I followed you home, would you keep me?" She asked, giving the mare a cute look. The mare flushed then squealed softly before nodding excitedly and hugging her. Vinyl shot a grin over the mare's shoulder at Octavia, who glared at her before finding a mare of her own. Octavia took a deep breath then trotted over and grinned cockily at her. "Was your father a thief? ‘Cause someone stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes." She said as she leaned towards the mare, who flushed and giggled. Twilight looked between both mares and the green one pulled out a paper, wrote her number on it and handed it to Octavia before trotting off. Vinyl pouted as her mare trotted off with her friend and glared at Octavia. Winner of Round One Octavia! Round Two: Vinyl versus red mare with grey eyes Vs. Octavia versus Derpy Octavia blinked in surprise as she found herself in front of an unusual eyed mare. She smiled kindly and said, "Hi Derpy." Derpy giggled cutely while Octavia coughed then smirked. She leaned forward and a slight flush graced Derpy's face as she looked her up and down before wincing. "Ouch! My tooth hurts!" Derpy looked concerned and looked at her nuzzle nervously. "Why?" Octavia suddenly grinned and leaned forward, flipping her hair out of her eyes with a hoof. "‘Cuz you're sooooooo sweet!" Derpy flushed then giggled loudly as Octavia shot a triumphant look at Vinyl. Vinyl glared then looked around and trotted over to a red mare. She slid up next to her and tapped her on the shoulder looking a bit pained. "I was so enchanted by your beauty that I ran into that wall over there. So I am going to need your name and number for insurance purposes." The mare chuckled then winked at Vinyl, wrote down her number and handed it to her before trotting off while Octavia spoke to Derpy. Twilight nodded to herself and levitated a note pad next to her head. Winner of Round Two: Vinyl! Final Battle Octavia scanned the bar before raising an eyebrow. "Time for some field experience Twilight. See that mare?" Twilight looked around before her eyes widened and she looked horrified, as Octavia whispered a line into her ear. "No! Not her!" "Do it Twilight." Twilight whimpered before she took in a deep breath and trotted slowly up to a red eyed unicorn. "Am I dead, Angel? Cause this must be heaven!" The unicorn snorted into her drink then laughed, raising her hooves. "I give. Twilight wins." Vinyl said while laughing. Octavia nodded and Twilight smiled. Winner of Final Battle: Twilight? The colors in the bar were beginning to blur together as Twilight took another drink form her glass. Vinyl was on the dance floor with two mares while Octavia watched from Twilight's right. Twilight blinked to clear her vision then frowned. "I'm curious. Why aren't you with Pinkie and your family?" Octavia looked at her then to the dance floor. "Pinkie gave you that crystal for a reason and told me to help you. She didn't let me say no." Twilight blinked again and cocked her head to the side. "What do you mean?" Octavia smiled softly then looked at her drink. "Four months ago I wouldn't have been here helping you. Four months ago I'd be at home listening to Beethooven not out partying like Vinyl." Twilight looked at her in confusion before her eyes grew wide and she smiled lightly. "Yoooooooooooou like her." Octavia flushed and glared at the drunken mare. "You are drunk." Twilight frowned and shook her head before raising a hoof. "I am not drunk! I am....different." She giggled goofily before allowing her head to hit the bar table. Octavia chuckled and shook her head before looking out at the dance floor. Vinyl smiled at her and she smiled back before frowning as the other mare turned away. She looked to Twilight and was surprised to find the mare was looking at her with clear eyes. "Why are you helping me?" "I’m helping because you made Pinkie happy and I want to help you impress the mare of your dreams. Why are you making the party though and who is it for?" Twilight looked off into space before sighing lightly. "I'm making this party for Princess Celestia. I wanted to do this alone because I love her." Tears welled in Twilight's eyes and she looked to Octavia sadly. "I love her so much and I know she'll never see me as more than a student but I have to try! I-I just have too!" She looked down and Octavia placed a hoof on her shoulder before smiling at her lightly. "I understand Twilight. We'll give her hell okay?" Twilight smiled a watery smile and nodded before feeling a hug from behind. "With us on your side what could go wrong?!" Twilight flinched as Vinyl said that. So many things could go wrong.
