"TRIXIEANDTWILIGHTAREDATINGANDTHAT'SSUPERAWESOMESOIGOTCHEESESANDWICHPARTY!" A highly over-enthusiastic pink mare screamed at the top of her lungs.
"AND CAKE!" A caramel-colored stallion with a curly, brown mane and tail added, calmer than Pinkie Pie, but still just as enthusiastic and loud. Both of them wiggled a little, then stepped out of the way as a giant cake smashed down right where they had been standing. "Ok," Cheese Sandwich admitted, "Less cake."
"Mmmm," Pinkie took a bite of the upside-down, smashed cake. "This is as sweet as your relationship!" She held out a hoof covered in frosting and cake crumbs to Trixie and Twilight, whom had arrived just moments before.
Trixie stepped back a few steps, "Eeeeee..."
"I think we're good," Twilight responded calmly, more used to her Party Pony friend. She decided to change the subject to the stallion in an Old Western poncho and hat. "So Cheesy, where's the music?"
"It hasn't arrived yet," he responded with a shrug. "Usually, I play some good ol' polka at my parties, but Pinkie invited a guest who insisted on providing live entertainment." He grinned a bit at that.
"Yeppers deppers peppers!" Pinkie would have said, had she not been cut off by some very loud feedback. Trixie and Twilight made their way into Applejack's barn to see a huge party, filled with everypony they knew. A light machine danced to an unheard rythym, casting everypony in a myriad of colors. At the other end, a small stage had been set up, with a massive speaker system and turn tables adorned across its surface. Behind the instrument stood a familiar grinning unicorn in purple shades.
"Sweet Apple Acres, are you ready to kick it?!" Vinyl asked, just before a blast of synth and clav filled the air. "Yeah!" She added enthusiastically.
Trixie gasped loudly. "Pinkie you're a genius! I love Vinyl's music!" She grabbed Twilight by the hoof and pulled her into the mix of ponies that had begun to focus in the center of the barn. "Let's dance!" She suggested, not giving Twilight much of a choice in the matter. She didn't mind, of course, and followed her marefriend onto the dance floor. She quickly identified her friends. Rainbow and Spitfire were the easiest to spot, hovering over the crowd as they danced. Discord could be seen from a mile away, despite being in a pony shape so as not to frighten anypony. He was dancing wildly with -an obviously, slightly inebriated- Fluttershy. There was no other way she would dance so freely in such a large crowd, though Discord did tend to have that effect on her.
Rarity was off to the side of the crowd, attempting to have a conversation with Fancy Pants over the loud music. Pinkie and Cheesy had entered the crowd right behind them and were already dancing like no tomorrow. Applejack was watching suspiciously while....wait, was Spike dancing with and making googly eyes at Apple Bloom? It didn't matter. She was brought back to reality by a peck on her cheek. She looked back at her mare to see she was giving her an expecting look. Twilight took the hint and began dancing. Both mares moved to the beat, keeping eyes locked on each other. Maybe it was the music or the lights painting her in a new color every couple seconds, but there was something in the way Trixie moved while she danced that was undeniably sexy. Twilight was swept away by the rythmic clav and the sight of her mare disappearing and reappearing before her as she was washed over with light by the strobe. She would have to thank Vinyl later, but all she could concentrate on at the moment was dancing.
Trixie was just as transfixed. She'd never seen Twilight look so free. She seemed to become one with the music, her wings and hooves all moving wildly and expertly to the beat. The look of pure bliss spread across her face made Trixie happy. She had no idea how much Twilight enjoyed dubtrot music or dancing. She let go of reality a little and decided to melt with the music, but as she did, the song changed. It was a song written by Octavia, sung by Neon Lights and remixed by Vinyl. It had recently become very popular, but it was slow. The couple had stopped dancing. Trixie wasn't sure what to do, but Twilight had decided for her. She stepped closer and nuzzled against Trixie's neck. She began slowly stepping back and forth in a simple, slow dance. Trixie blushed and joined in, nuzzling against her mare. She didn't know what it was, but there was something about her that just felt...right.
As the song began to end, Trixie pulled away to look into Twilight's eyes. "I love you," She mouthed.
Twilight looked back at her lovingly. "I love you too!" She opted to yell over the music. They continued to stare lovingly into one another's eyes until eventually, Twilight's closed. She began leaning in for a kiss, and Trixie mirrored her actions. Her lips were just about to make sweet contact with Twilight's when an blood curdling scream cut through her bliss from somewhere in the crowd. Her eyes shot open just in time to see Twilight's shocked expression as she was picked off the ground by a large, black tentacle. Their hooves reached out for one another, barely missing. "Trixie!" Twilight shouted, being dragged toward a large, black mass. It seemed to be made of some sort of black smoke, as well as the tentacles and tendrils extending out of it in all directions. Twilight was wrapped up by several of them before being violently sucked into the epicenter. "AAAAHHHHHH!!!!"
All went silent. The music had been cut off, the regular lights were on, and no one dared speak a word. Trixie looked into the empty space she had last seen Twilight as the black mass disappeared. She could feel the tears welling in her eyes before dropping to the ground and finally letting out several sobs in anguish. "Nooooo!" She screamed out. The partygoers slowly exited the building, being ushered out by her friends. Twilight was gone, and there was only one pony they could go to if they wanted to rescue her.
It was time to go to the palace.
