Wheezy fidgeted as he smoothed his dingy shirt and adjusted his vest
"You can do this, you can do this" he muttered repeatedly
*Knock Knock Knock*
"Oh, hello Wheezy" Fluttershy said, opening the door
"H-hey, F-Fluttershy..."
"Can I help you with anything?"
"No, Urk! I mean- yes..."
"...would you mind telling me? If you want to, that is..."
"Well, uh, you know that big party tomorrow night? The one up in Canterlot?"
"Oh, the Grand Galloping Gala? Of course...what about it?"
"W-well, ahem, do you have a- a date?"
"Oh, no...I don't..."
"In that case...would you mind...going with me?"
X X X X X X X
"Couldn't we have just worn our regular suits?" Smart Ass asked, stepping down from the carriage
"But darling, this is the Grand Galloping Gala, your wear those suits every other day- making them was a good challenge for me, anyway"
He shrugged as they all walked past the guards and into the castle
"Lotsa guards around here, ain't there?"
"Well, it is only the most important social event of the year, anypony who's anypony will be here tonight" Rarity replied
"My suit's itchy" Stupid said, pulling at his collar
"Mine too" Psycho agreed, yanking at his spotted tie
"I still can't fathom why you'd want to wear that, it clashes with the rest of the suit"
"You're lucky- you at least got him into the suit" Smart Ass said
"Yes..." Rarity replied "By the way, remind me to look for some new drapes when we return"

"What's the matter, Wheezy?" Flasher smirked, walking up to the snack table "Not enjoying yourself?"
"Go away, Flash" Wheezy muttered, downing his punch
"Seriously, what's wrong?"
"Fluttershy..." he sighed
"Yeah, what about her?"
"She didn't wanna be my date..."
"Her? She's about as cruel as a butterfly"
Flasher looked thoughtful for a moment
"Oh my god...the puns just keep on coming..."
"Oh, pardon me, Wheezy" Rarity said, trotting up "Have you seen my escort for the evening?"
"I don't know, what's his name?"
"Prince Blueblood"
...
...
...
Rarity blushed as a group of ponies nearby stared at the two weasels rolling on the ground, howling with laughter.

Smart Ass rolled his eyes as he watched Pinkie and Psycho bounce around the room, being their usual selves.
"So, why aren't you out there?" he asked, looking to Twilight
"I'm not the best dancer...besides, I wanted to talk with Princess Celestia"
"Aren't you her student? Why not just come up here any other time?"
"I'm always busy in Ponyville, I'd never find the time"
"Eh, your toss, kid"
"Loss , and no, it isn't-"

*Knock Knock Knock*
"We do not wish to be disturbed" Luna called, laying on her bed
*Knock Knock Knock*
Luna marched to her door, and forced it open- she prepared to tell the pony off when...
"Duh, hi Princess- there's a big party downstairs" Stupid said "I didn't see you down there, want any cake?"
The large plate held a generously-sized slice of chocolate-covered short cake.
"Er, yes, come in-"
The weasel entered the room
Luna closed the door and turned to Stupid
"What brings thee here?"
"You weren't at the party, I thought you might be up here somewhere"
"That is very kind of you"
He set the plate down and went to the door
"I guess I'll see you later then, Princess" he said, opening the door
"Wait"
"Yeah?"
"Wouldst thou like to...chat...with me?"
"Duh, sure-" he said, closing the door and sitting on the floor "What do you wanna talk about?"

"Easy, easy, have to get this juuuuust right" Greasy said
He and Wheezy were currently standing in the rafters of the ballroom, positioning an anvil over a blonde-maned unicorn.
"You sure you want to do this? Not too late, you know"
"Eh, I'll do it- maybe seein' someone gettin' flattened will cheer me up" Wheezy said, hefting the other side of the anvil into position.
"3...2...1...go!"
Both of the weasels let go of the anvil, sending it hurtling towards the floor
X X X X X X X
Rarity looked up as a black object fell from the rafters
"Erm, perhaps we should remove ourselves to the gardens?" she asked nervously
"An excellent idea" Blueblood stated
A girlish scream escaped his lips as an anvil implanted itself into the floor next to him, eliciting riotous laughter from above.
Rarity shot glares at them as she and Blueblood trotted into the gardens
