//------------------------------// // What could possibly go wrong? // Story: Party Time // by pegasis23 //------------------------------// It was yet another normal day at Canterlot High but this was no ordinary day for me. Oh,who am I?My name is Silver Star,a not so proud sister of Silver Spoon. Silver Spoon can be a real pain but sometimes,she could be really nice. I had already gotten my special talent in Astronomy. Call me a nerd,but I discovered it while reading a book. Up till today,I haven't heard the end of how lame my "Special Talent" story was. I'm friends with Apple Bloom,Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. All four of us,the Cutie Mark Crusaders,always did things together. From annoying our sisters to slumber parties to even mysteriously burning a swimming pool that was full of water. The adults had a different name for our gang. They called us The Chaotic Four. Somehow,I preferred the other name but Sweetie and Apple was against it. So,this time,it was Sweetie Belle's turn to throw a party. It was a tradition for us all,since we all were joined together by a party a certain poofy haired,energetic sophomore had thrown for the school. We had even vowed on the lives of our pets that we would continue this tradition forever or at least,until Graduation. My parents often called me a careless fool,despite me being a complete nerd, I forget things easily and lose my stuff pretty easily. This was actually partly of the reason that I was in Big Macintosh's bed with a horrible hangover,until I see stars,with Scootaloo in the corner with her hands taped to a chicken and her legs taped on her scooter,Sweetie Belle that has a huge dinner bell stuck in her hair and some sort of guitar that she was snoring on and Apple Bloom with blooming flowers weaved into her hair with whipped cream and an apple on top,food stuff smeared all over her face and a huge,droopy hat and dress that is supposed to be on someone who is tall and a huge body. So Sweetie's in charge for the 'School Year End' party. Rarity's place was pretty small,and just so happens,Apple Bloom's siblings and grand mother are going out of town for a week. Sweetie and me then had the idea of having the party at Applejack's barn and preparations were quickly made a week before the event. Present Time My phone rang just as I was heading out of class. "Yo,Silver,hoped ya brought them drinks for the party,cause we totally needs it for the parking." The message from Scootaloo said,at to which I smirked at as my nerd habits kicked in. "LOL,autocorrect much?"I quickly typed back as I was rewarded with a mental image of Scootaloo rolling her eyes. Suddenly,I remembered that I had actually forgotten the drink and the gleeful feeling I had from before was transformed into panic. "Uh oh,I forgotten them drinks!"I typed quickly to Apple Bloom,Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. I was then greeted by a bunch of expletives from Sweetie,three dots from Apple Bloom and a triumphant reply from Scootaloo. "Hah!Sweets,you owe me a fiver!"The message from Scootaloo read as I continued to the big,family house to which the party was supposed to be held in. "No prob,I think I still got some of the apple cider left that smells kinda funny. Ok with y'all?"Apple Bloom's message came later. "APPLE CIDER?!"Scootaloo's message came a second after that. Like her idol,Scootaloo had a crazy love for apple cider. "OMG,APPLE BLOOM,YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!"I quickly typed,glad that my pal was going to bail me out. "But,you are still subjected to punishment."Sweetie's next message maliciously say and I groaned at the thought of drinking the Punishment Drink. You see,our group is kinda strict about tradition and when we didn't abide it,we have to drink a special sort of drink made of hot sauce,chocolate,cereal,wasabi,pepper ,chemical X and salt. We call this concoction the Punishment Drink. I finally reached inside and the prepping of the house for the party began at once. 2 Hours Later "So,Apple Bloom,where's the cider?~"Scootaloo sang as she flung some streamers around. "It's over here."Apple said in her country accent as she pushed away the door to a cellar with barrels and a few boxes of unidentifiable cans and glass bottles of something that says 'vodka'. "Ooh,apple cider."Scootaloo stuck a finger into the liquid and tasted it. "Mmm,tastes funny,but still apple cider."Scootaloo confirmed before taking out a small vial and filling it. Sweetie Belle snickered,"Hehehe,good thinking, chemical X for the Punishment Drink." Grinning mischievously,we made our way for the party with the cartons of drinks and began moving the sound of the music from Scootaloo's phone. The music then shut off as the party reached its climax and Scootaloo appeared with four glasses,each filled with the apple cider. "Time for truth or dare."Sweetie grinned,another glass full of spices and at the bottom,I could make out the faint outline of some sort of candy. "To start off,let us have Silver to um...tehehehehe,to consume the Drink of Punishment."Sweetie giggled,some sort of faint blush in her cheeks as she placed an empty 'vodka' bottle in the center of the circle we sat in. Gulping down my fear of having diarrhea,I stood up and took the drink and swallowed the lot down,to which the girls cheered as I wiped off the remains of the repulsive drink from the corners of my mouth. "And now,for Truth or Dare!"Scootaloo enthusiastically cheered as she spun the bottle. "You're up first,Silver!"Apple Bloom winked at me as the bottle pointed at me. "Truth or dare?"Scootaloo grinned,knowing of which I would choose. "Dare."I confirmed as Scootaloo's grin extended. "I dare you to drink this glass of apple cider."Scootaloo smiled as I grimaced before grabbing the cup and gulped the down the contents. As the cider went down my throat,I felt a sort of fire in my throat and liked it at once. "That wasn't daring enough."I frowned as I looked at Scootaloo with a questioning look. "I was just being nice."Scootaloo shrugged as I turned the bottle,only for it to face her. "Truth or dare?"I smirked as Scootaloo chose the latter. "I dare you to do the Chicken Dance."I giggled as Scootaloo sighed before getting up and doing the dance routine. "Hehehehe,chicken!"Sweetie laughed rambunctiously as Scootaloo began blushing in embarrassment. Scootaloo spun the bottle again,only for it to end up in Sweetie's territory. "Truth or dare?"Scootaloo grinned as Sweetie shyly picked 'truth'. "Are you crushing on Button Mash?"The question flew out of Scootaloo's mouth as Sweetie suddenly blushed. "N..N..No..."Sweetie denied,the blushing of her cheeks and nervous behavior giving away the truth. "Ooooooh..."Apple Bloom,Scootaloo and I wriggled our eyebrows flirtatiously,"Somebody's gotta crush on Gamer Boy." "Is not."Sweetie Belle protested. "Is to."Apple Bloom grinned. "Is not."Sweetie Belle defiantly repeated. "Is to."Scootaloo smiled. "Is not."Sweetie fought back. "Is not."I countered. "Is to!Uh oh..."Sweetie angrily yelled before realizing her mistake. All of us laughed and Scootaloo refilled my drink,once again as Sweetie spun the bottle to Apple Bloom. "I'll take the dare."Apple Bloom answered before the question was asked. "I dare you to put on your granny's clothes and take a selfie and post it up online."I said as Apple Bloom gasped. "Oooh...Harsh."Scootaloo fanned herself as Apple Bloom sighed,defeated. "Fine,I forfeit."Apple Bloom sighed. "You heard her,girls!If it's forfeit she wants,it's forfeit she gets!"Scootaloo cheered as she raced off to the kitchen as Sweetie Belle ran off to get some clothes and I dipped a hand into my glass and began 'washing' Apple Blooms face and smearing food stuff as 'makeup'. "Fabulous."I muttered,smiling at my 'master piece' as Apple Bloom gritted her teeth from the price of forfeiting the game. "Alright girls,I've got the flowers and the clothes."Sweetie bounced towards Apple Bloom and began putting on the 'ensemble' and weaving Apple Bloom's hair with the flowers. "Good,I've the whipped cream and apple."Scootaloo came back and began putting on the finishing touches. This sort of silliness continued,the seemingly,weird tasting apple cider fueling the party atmosphere as we continued the game. "Woo hoo!Victory is mine for the taking!"I crowed after Scootaloo finally couldn't fulfill the dare I had proposed. We all wounded up on Big Macintosh's bedroom,with the last cup of apple cider in Apple Bloom's hand,a small glass of 'vodka' for Sweetie and something that said 'bear' on the unidentifiable cans Scootaloo and I were drinking. "Guys,why am I holding a chicken?"Scootaloo slurred as she finished the 'bear' with a flourish. "Because you *hic* are one."I replied,drinking more of the 'bear' as the clock showed that it was nearing to 1 am in the morning. "Chickenloo."Apple Bloom teased as she lay in the corner. "Dinner Belle."I chuckled as Sweetie Belle teased me. "High *hic* Star."Sweetie grinned lopsidedly. " Apple Bloom."Scootaloo laughed,as the we scrunched up their faces in disgust. "Chickenloo,just no..."I said. "Don't..Don't do that."Sweetie shook her head at her attempt to make a pun. " Nnnope."Apple Bloom agreed as she took another swig of the apple cider before all four of us burst out in laughter at Apple Bloom's impersonation of her brother. . Next morning "Hehehehehehehehehehe..."A familiar raspy voice laughed as a clicking sound of a camera made the stars glow painfully again. "Oi,no photographs!"I half yelled,half moaned as a headache threatened to tear me apart. "What did you say?!I can't hear you!"Rainbow shouted,causing me to wince in pain. "Sweetie Belle! What are you doing!"Rarity shouted,causing the invisible hammer in my brain to start to pound harder. "Apple Bloom!What the heck is going on around here?"My eyes shot up wide open and I saw Applejack looking about,shocked. The other three then woke up and all in unison,we uttered the same two words. "Uh oh."
