Chapter XI: An Escape From Formality

Ultimately, we ended up having to wait until the following day until we began the clean-up of Sugarcube Corner. Fortunately, having been a member of a real-life 'Delta house' did teach me some things that were actually useful, such as being able to clean up an absolute hellhole that only a drunken party can create...though almost always we cleaned up just so we can try to 'beat our high score' again the next night, but the clean-up skills came into play here, nonetheless.

When we all met up back at Sugarcube Corner to start cleaning it -- Vinyl included (who had actually asked me out once she sobered up...now you know who wears the 'daddy pants'...well, when pants are worn, that is), however, we found that Twilight had shown up early and had already done most of the work -- the wall included. After an hour or so of picking up trash and cleaning dishes, we were...done, which astonished me, because I was used to having to take several days to clean up a trashed frat house, but then again, we didn't even have a decent attention span, let alone fucking magic!

After we finished cleaning, I decided to take Vinyl on a date of sorts, which I felt was the least I could do for her, considering that, simply put, we had started 'dating' after having drunken sex...which apparently Twilight had taken drunken notes on...and not to brag, but I sound like a total stud in those notes...which is weird, because I'm anything but. And that's not implying that the fact that Twilight was taking notes on us having drunken sex was weird...though that would be right, because -- knowing Twilight -- I would have actually bet money on it.

Fortunately, the only location to go on a date was where we still were -- Sugarcube Corner. This was actually for several reasons: first, neither of us knew our way around Ponyville quite yet, second, we both preferred to not go somewhere public *cough* fans *cough*, and third, we were both too lazy to go anywhere else. Most importantly, however, we agreed not to drink...at least on this 'date'...with Vinyl stating her biggest reason as 'wanting to remember tonight', topping it all of with a seductive wink. Honestly, I'm not sure whether to be scared or excited...I know I'm going to find out though.

Unfortunately, however, Rarity happened to overhear us, and decided to take it upon herself to make it formal, much to Vinyl and I's chagrin, as we are anything but formal. Not like we even had a choice though, especially after she teleported herself and Vinyl to her boutique to size the latter for dresses. I wasn't any better off, though, because I was mentally rocking in the fetal position, knowing I was next.

All things worked out well in the end, though -- at least for Vinyl -- as our date began very late that night. As soon as Rarity left us sitting at a formal dinner table set up at Sugarcube Corner, with both of us forcibly dressed up in formal attire, we began plotting our escape. The moment the door closed, I gave Vinyl a look to keep her momentarily quiet.

"Okay, I'm going to make this clear. I know that you're antsy, and to be quite frank, after the torture of having to wait for my 'turn' combined with the actual turmoil of having to be sized and model for a suit for four consecutive hours, whatever dirty thing I know you have planned is exactly what we both need. However, we can't just rush, else we risk getting noticed, be it by any of your fans, or worse, Rarity. Fortunately, along with being able to clean up a hellhole, one of the things I learned from being in a fraternity is how to efficiently sneak around and how to not get caught for shit."

"I take it that you have a plan?"

"Almost; we still need to determine some things first."

"Such as?"

"Destination."

"I assume you don't have a house yet?"

"Nope."

"Remind me to buy you one, then; I have far too many bits than I know what to do with."

"Noted. And I assume that a hotel is out of the question?"

"Yep. I'm way too horny --" She pokes at me with her horn. "-- to have to sign autographs and all that shit."

I grin. "That reminds me...how much magic do you know?"

She grins back. "What do you have in mind?"

"Well, if you have sound-muffling and invisibility spells we wouldn't even have to leave here!...though I advise we do, though, lest we risk breaking something."

"I do have both of those, but we're going to have to decide on a location first, because my invisibility spell is in 'bubble' form, so it's essentially a shield."

Okay, but before we 'get gone' we need to 'set the scene' here..."

Vinyl's horn begins to glow. "Just tell me what needs to be done."

I grin. "Alright, well first we need to make it seem like we ate, so we need to take most of the food off of the plates and put them back in the fridge as leftovers..."

Vinyl levitates some Zip-Lock bags from the kitchen, puts the majority of the food -- which was spaghetti -- in them, then puts the filled bags in the kitchen fridge, and nods at me to continue.

The remaining things Vinyl happily does as I list them.

"Next we need to rub the napkins in the sauce a little bit to make them look used, pour most of the water into bottles and into the fridge -- unless you're thirsty that is -- pull out the chairs, mess up the table cloth a little bit, dirty the silverware, put them and the napkins on the plates, and then run away!!!"

Vinyl grins as her horn begins glowing again. "Or teleport..."
