//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: The Black Coated Filly // by bellensnow //------------------------------// Upon walking to the school grounds Marble saw her friends Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo. Upon seeing them she called out, "Hey guys!!" "Hi Marble!" Sweetie said excitedly. "Whats up?" Scootaloo asked. "Nothing much, i just wanted to know if you guys wanted to come to a party say around 6?" Marble said sounding oh so cool. "Well ah'll go." Bloom said. "What about you gals, ya in?" "Hell yeah!!" Scootaloo said fist bumping the air. "If you girls are going i'm going." Sweetie said. "Who all is going to be there?" "Us four, Silver Spoon, Pip Squeak and Rumble." Marble said. "Eww, why is Silver spoon going to be there?" Scootaloo asked. "Oh well i wanted to get to know her better so me and her have been hanging out after school when im not hanging with you girls..." Marble explained. "Why?" Scootaloo asked. "She a bucking bitch." "Actually shes not. She doesn't even talk about you guys, hell most of the time she talks about how much she hates Diamond Tiara." Marble said. She was telling the truth but she still couldn't tell if they believed her or not. "Fine, we'll see that tonight for ourselves." Scootaloo said. It was a challenge. One that she was going to lose. "So wheres this party being held?" Sweetie asked. "At 5723 Ponyville road." Marble said. "Don't bring anything but yourselves, i've got everything covered." "Ok so can we- BRINGGGGG "Damnit school bell!" Scootaloo said. "So are we hanging after school or do you and Silver Spoon need to set up?" "If its ok with you guys i'll need to hang with Silver so we can set up and what not." "Fine, So we'll see you at break?" Scootaloo asked. "Yeah." Marble said as Sweetie, Bloom and Scoots walked in to the building. Today was going to be a long day if Scoots kept acting so cold. "Oh well having your friends act cold is better than having none at all." Marble said to no pony. -----------------------------------------------------------In class---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Silver, Sweetie, Bloom and Scoots are coming to the party, Got anypony else in mind? Anyhow this note refers to what we are doing at our party what games, what drinks, what type of food. (I got food cover cuz of where i work) But yeah need your imput. Marble. Marble had suddenly looked up because she felt like she was being watched. She was, Miss. Cheeralie had asked her to solve the mathematical equation on the board. "Oh! Um the answer to the equation X= 2Y+4 is..." Marble had quickly writin down some work and answered "24 Madam." "Very good Marble, I thought you weren't paying attention." Miss. Cheeralie said. Marble smiled and went back to folding the note she had in hoof she had to get it to Silver without Diamond Tiara seeing it. That was going to be a challenge. she had passed it to Snails, who had passed it to Snips, who had passed it to Twist, who had passed it to Bloom, who had passed it to Sweetie, who had passed it to Scoots, who had passed it to Rumble who had almost passed it to Diamond Tiara but thought better of it and passed it to Pip, who had passed it to Silver. Marble had saw Silver read it wan reply while watching Miss. Cheeralie and pass it back through the line of Pip, Rumble, Scoots, Sweetie, Bloom, Twist, Snips, and Snails right back to Marble. Marble, Thats good, umm I dont really know what to do for games (You can figure those out, nothing like pin the tail on the pony though), for drinks i was hoping your mum could make some of her famous punch (two batches most likely) and i could go see berry punch and possibly spike the punch, and maybe get some drinks from her. For food well it really can't be that hard to guess, we'll need really sweet stuff most likely from the bakery, seeing as you work/live there thats your job too. Your the host not me, it was your idea. As for other people i was thinking maybe we invite spike and Blue Skies, i dont know just a possibility, their around our age, there both older but come on whats a party without a few older students, i'll text them and ask. Marble had read the letter and was kinda surprised about the fact that Silver had said it was her party but whatever maybe this was how she was going to get her cutie mark she wouldn't be last in the class Bloom didn't have hers yet but... She had quikly mad a reply and passed it back through the chain they had made. Ok tell me what they say and my party huh. Well i'll make a list of games and we can review it after school, and your only invite spike because hes Blues BEST friend and you like Blue. but whatever i'll talk to you after school Silver had to suppress a giggle from the fact that Marble was correct, she did like Blue. but that was not the matter right now . right now the matter was telling Marble that Blue and Spike had said yes. Both Spike and Blue said yes!!! and yeah its your party. Its your party cuz its your idea, duh! celestia get a brain, lol, but ok talk to you after school. Silver had passed the note through the chain back to Marble. The smile that was exchanged between the two young mares was one that looked like this was going to be the best night ever. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------After school--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So..." Marble began as soon as Diamond Tiara was out of the school grounds. "I guess we have to go to Sugar Cube Corner now right?" "Yeah," Silver said. "Lets wait like five minutes so that i know Diamond Tiara wont be out and about." "Yeah we probably should." Marble said. "On the other hoof for games i was thinking spin the bottle, 7 minutes in heaven, A dance circle, and maybe if Berry Punch will give us some alcohol beer pong and whatever other drinking games everypony can come up with. " Oh my Celestia yes." Silver said. "I might get to kiss Blue then!!" She said jumping up and down and squealing like a filly. "We should go. Come on Silver." Marble said as she started to walk. "Hm?" Silver questioned looking up form her day dream. "Oh! yeah!" She jumped as she started to walk. "So for food lets say we get a cake, 3 dozen cupckaes, 3 dozen cookies, 2 pails of ice cream, and 4 pizzas." Marble said. "Yeah, that should be more than enough food for 9- 10 ponies, Blue wants to know if his younger brother River can come, hes only a year younger than us." Silver said. "Yeah River can come, Sweetie likes him anyway." Marble replied. "Wait Sweetie Belle like River?" Silver said. "Yeah i found it odd too. I think they might be dating with the amount of time they spend together." Marble said. "Ouff, Oww!" Marble said as she ran into the door of sugar cube corner. "Oh well it looks like we're here." Of course Silver Spoon was off in a corner giggling about the fact that Marble had just run it to the door of her own house. "Silver!! Don't laugh at me!" Marble exclaimed. "Its funny." Silver said. "Whatever," Marble said with a wave of her hoof. "Lets just go and get the food." "Ok." Silver said still partially giggling. Ting-a-ling. The bell on top of the door jingled its little jingle as the girls walked in. "Why hello there girls, what brings you to sugar cube corner today?" Mrs. Cake asked. "Just here to pick up an order grandma." Marble said ;Umm number 35 please" "Oh dearie thats a big order, do you girls want any help with that?" Mrs. Cake asked. "No thanks grandma we've got it we're strong young mares." Marble said. "Ok dearie let me go and get the order, i'll be right back." Mrs. Cakje saud. "Thank you grandma!" Marble yelled into the kitchen. When Mrs. Cake came back the girls loaded up there saddle bags and headed to Silvers. Upon arrival both girls dropped they saddle bags and rushed inside to the cool air of a air conditioned house. "Oh thank celestia your house is air conditioned." Marble stated. "Yeah i know." Silver said. "Well no time to waste lets get set up we can relax later." "Ok, so we need two tables, we might have to move the furniture, and a room for 7 minutes in heaven. "Got it!" Silver said as she dragged two tables into the main room. Marble was right they were going to have to move furniture around, an easy task for a unicorn. She had moved a couple of thing to make room for a circle for spin the bottle, and room for the two tables. One for the food and the punch. And the other for the drinking games. In all that took the just under two hours and it was now 5. "OK." Silver said. "Now we need to see if Berry Punch will give us some alcohol." "She totally will we're like almost a year from 18." Marble said feeling confident. "Ok lets go then." Silver said. ----------------------------------------------------10 mins later------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *knock knock* Marble had knocked on Berry Punchs door. When Berry Punch had opened it she was the nicest mare in the world and had asked... "Umm Miss. Punch, Silver Spoon and I were wondering if you might be able to hook us up with some alcohol." "Oh I can do that, but what do i get in return?" Berry Punch asked. Silver had produced a large bag of bits from her saddle bag and said "200 bits. No more no less." "Good deal girls, come in and grab what you want and then be on your way." Berry Punch said. "Thank you Miss. Punch." Marble said. As soon as the girls had grabbed what they wanted, they were on their way. "Well that was easier than i thought it was going to be." Silver said. "Yeah." Marble agreed. "But thats Berry for you bring her a large sum of money and you can get basically whatever you want, now come on we need to get back to your house we only have half an hour before guests start showing up.
