Confusion was the only look on Amethyst’s face as he looked at Sunny Skies. Amethyst watched on as Sunny flirted with a red-furred unicorn stallion. He watched with wide eyes as Sunny planted a kiss on the stallion right on the spot. With a wink Sunny smiled at the stallion and he walked off with a goofy smile on his face.
Misty smugly looked over at Sunny. “So, did he bite?”
“You bet he did--what stallion alive can resist this charm?” Sunny asked as she swayed her behind in Misty’s face.
Misty smiled at the sight of Sunny’s backside. Meanwhile Amethyst just stared on in more confusion at Sunny’s antics. “So where are we going?” Amethyst asked.
“A special club, the best and most awesome club in town, you’ll definitely have fun there, Lavender, your brother loves it.” Sunny said with a smile as she led on.
The Prancing Pony Bar, that’s the only ‘club’ I ever go to. Amethyst thought. The three ponies continued walking down the street. Amethyst found himself drifting closer and closer to Sunny as he walked.
“Hey Sunny, can I ask you something?” Amethyst asked with a raised eyebrow.
Sunny looked over at Amethyst, “Sure.”
“Why do you like flirting with stallions so much?” Amethyst cocked an eyebrow.
Sunny giggled. “Why else Lavender? They’re cute, and sooo gullible. One wave of the plot and they’ll be tripping over themselves just to please me any way they can.” Sunny winked.
Slowly, Amethyst started falling back in his pacing. Soon he found himself walking alongside Misty.
“What’s up Shard?” Misty asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Amethyst looked over at Misty. “Oh, I just asked Sunny why she’s so flirtatious with the stallions. Honestly the answer sounded like something you would say.”
Misty tilted his head. “Pardon?”
Amethyst looked over at Misty, a skeptical look graced his face. “I’m just saying. In the few hours I’ve known Sunny I can’t help but notice that you two have a lot in common.”
“Why does it matter?” Misty asked with raised eyebrows.
Amethyst blushed. “Well I just thought maybe… err you two would make a good couple.” Amethyst winced at what he had just said. “I’m sorry Misty. Normally I don’t like to comment on relationships like that, but you two seem perfect for each other.”
Misty chuckled at the implication “You’re right Shard. We would make a very good couple. In fact we were for a little while.”
Amethyst’s jaw dropped and eyes went wide. “Wait! You two actually dated each other?”
“We sure did. We met about two years ago in the bar and we hit if off from there. You shoulda been there Shard, the lovemaking was awesome.” Misty drooled as he reminisced.
Amethyst cocked an eyebrow. “But if you two are such a good match for each other why aren’t you two together now?”
“Because we were too good a match for each other,” Sunny chimed in. Amethyst glanced at Sunny. “When we started dating we both only had one thing in mind…having fun.” Sunny nudged Amethyst. “As we continued to date each other we realized that the only thing we really wanted from the other was sex, not a relationship per se.”
Amethyst tilted his head. “Really, why would you only want each other for sex and not for something more?”
“I’m too much of a free spirit to get attached to Misty,” Sunny said with a wistful smile.
“And I’m too much of a mare’s stallion to settle with Sunny,” Misty chimed in.
Sunny nodded. “Yup so we decided to break it off with each other.”
“Err yeah--right.” Amethyst nodded awkwardly.
Sunny smiled at Amethyst. “Don’t worry about it, Lavender. We’re still friends and from time to time we get back together when we’re having a dry spell.” Sunny giggled.
Amethyst blushed, the deep red of the setting sun reflected in Sunny’s eyes as the three ponies continued walking down the street. The light of the bar’s green neon lights filled Amethyst‘s eyes as they came to a stop.
“Here we are. The best club in town: the Prancing Pony bar. You’re definitely gonna have fun here Lavender,” Sunny said as she slapped Amethyst on the back of the neck.
Amethyst’s eyes darted around nervously as Sunny led Amethyst through the front door of the bar.
It was pretty much exactly the way Amethyst remembered it. He subconsciously smiled as he looked around at the wooden floors, and the familiar round tables. Several lamps hanging on the ceiling dimly lighted the entire room. Most of the lamps were made of green glass and had yellow crystals generating the light. Amethyst passed by several stallions as he looked around, pretending to be surprised by the establishment.
The clientele looked very gruff and very strong. Most of the stallions sat around their tables drinking mugs of hard apple cider. Amethyst’s ears perked up at the sounds of ponies talking all around the bar about the day’s activities. On Amethyst’s left there was a table lined with barstools. The grunts of stallions sitting on the stools occasionally pierced the veil cast by the large volume of ponies talking. They too were drinking cider, a tan stallion with a blonde mane and blue eyes did the serving.
Amethyst blushed at the sight of the mares also present in the bar. His pupils shrunk as he saw numerous mares right next to the stallions. Some of the mares were nuzzling the stallions, others were just flirting; Amethyst couldn’t quite hear exactly what they were saying. As if watching mares flirt with stallions wasn’t disconcerting enough, Amethyst’s stomach sank at the sight of a few mares sitting around at the bar being hit on by numerous stallions.
Why did I let Sunny bring me here!?
“Well Lavender why don’t we go introduce ourselves to the crowd.” Sunny leaned in the general direction of a group of stallions. “Just watch me Lavender. With a plot like that you and me won’t be paying for our drinks tonight.” Sunny walked away from Amethyst. He watched intently as Sunny walked up to a dark blue pegasus stallion with green eyes, and a dog bone for a cutie mark.
“Hey there.” Sunny leaned in close to the stallion.
The stallion nervously recoiled. “Umm err hey…who are you?”
Sunny giggled as the stallion took a sip out of his cup of cider “Why, I’m Sunny Skies. Who are you?” Sunny said with a bat of her eyes. Amethyst could practically feel Sunny put the stallion on the spot. His eyes darted around the room as if searching for his own name.
“I-I-I’m,” the stallion stammered, “Dog kennel.”
Sunny smiled. “Nice to meet you Kennel. So, what do you do for a living?”
“I work in a local pet shop, specifically with dogs. How about you?” Kennel replied with a blush.
Sunny giggled and bounced up and down. “That’s awesome. I work for the weather team.” Sunny put on a fake frown. “Oh dear. I forgot all of my money at home and I’m sooo thirsty.” Sunny batted her eyes at Kennel.
Kennel blushed and smiled. “Err; I could buy you a few drinks, if that’s ok with you?”
“Oooh thank you. You‘re such a kind stallion.” Sunny hugged him.
Amethyst rolled his eyes; Sunny’s flirtatious nature wasn’t anything new for Amethyst. He internally groaned at the memories of coming to this place. Amethyst had come to the bar not more than a week ago when pretty much the same thing happened to him. He glanced over at the table he’d sat at as the memories flooded back to him. Amethyst brought a hoof up to his neck as he remembered he was nursing a wound he had gotten from the castle that day. As Amethyst had sat there a mare came up to him and out of the blue tried to nuzzle him.
Brother I feel your pain. Amethyst thought as he saw Kennel continue to recoil from Sunny’s advances.
A few minutes later another stallion came up to Sunny. “Hey if he’s not interested I’m always available.” the stallion looked smugly at Sunny.
Sunny looked into the stallion’s eyes. “Well if you buy me a drink we might have some fun later.”
Without a moment’s hesitation, the stallion ran up to the bar counter and returned with a pair of mugs full of hard cider. “Here you go miss.” The stallion set the mugs on the table.
“Thanks for the drinks,” Sunny said with a wink. “We can start having fun as soon as I have a chat with my friend over there.” Sunny motioned over to Amethyst.
The stallion blushed, muttering “no problem” under his breath. Sunny walked away from the stallion and over to Amethyst. She sipped on a mug of apple cider as she did so.
“You see Lavender, that’s how you get free drinks. Why don’t you try it?”
Amethyst glared at Sunny. “No thanks. I’ll pay for my own drinks.”
“But he looks like such a good catch.” Sunny motioned over to a stallion at the other end of the bar.
Amethyst groaned. “Not interested.”
“Come on where’s your sense of fun? Go on he won’t bite.” Sunny nudged Amethyst in the direction of the crowd.
“No, Sunny!” Amethyst immediately moved back.
Sunny shot a quizzical look at Amethyst. “What’s wrong with you? Why wouldn’t you want to enjoy the company of such handsome stallions?”
Amethyst glanced around nervously, sweat formed as he searched his mind for any excuse.
“Because I’m a lesbian!” Amethyst blurted out. He clasped his hooves to his mouth and looked around nervously as it dawned on him what he had just said.
A surprised look formed on Sunny’s face, “Oh! I didn’t know. I’m sorry Lavender.” Sunny paused before a smile formed on her face. “In that case...” Without a moment’s hesitation, Sunny walked up to Amethyst and kissed him on the muzzle. Amethyst blushed at being kissed by what he felt was the opposite sex.
Why did I say that? Amethyst thought as Sunny continued her kiss. After what felt like several hours, Sunny broke away from the kiss and grinned.
“If I had known, Lavender, I wouldn’t have tried to set you up with that stallion over there.” Sunny motioned to the stallion from earlier. “That doesn’t mean you should go without a date tonight. I’ve been coming here a while and I know most of the mares here are into guys. Although,” Sunny winked, “I have been known to swing both ways if you catch my drift. I’ll be back later.” Sunny promptly walked off as she leered at a stallion on the other side of the bar.
Amethyst sighed a breath of relief and took a seat at a nearby table. “I can’t believe that actually worked.”
As soon as Amethyst sat down, a female voice spoke to him “You’re not a lesbian are you?” Amethyst turned to look at the origin of the voice and saw a unicorn mare with teal fur, golden eyes, and a lyre shaped cutie mark.
“Err not really, why do you ask?” Amethyst looked at the mare.
“I figured you used that as an excuse to escape that pushy mare. I would, too. I hate being hit on by the stallions. Since I came in here I’ve had five guys slap my plot and ten more than that tried to buy me some rather questionable cider,” the teal colored mare said with a slight roll of her eyes.
“Then why did you even come here in the first place?” A wonderful aroma filled Amethyst’s nostrils and he quickly realized this mare had ordered a broccoli pizza.
The unicorn smiled as she levitated a slice of the pizza up to her mouth “I just came here because somepony told me that the food was the best in town.” The unicorn took a bite as she looked over Amethyst. She continued to munch on her pizza. “Yeah this is good pizza.” Lyra’s voice was muffled by the mouthful of pizza.
Lyra swallowed her pizza and examined Amethyst. “Hold on, haven’t we met somewhere before?”
“Not that I know of,” Amethyst replied, scratching his chin.
As Amethyst sat there, he saw a bright look grace the unicorn’s face as if a light bulb had just gone off in her head. “Oh, now I remember. We met at the hairdressers a few days ago. I’m Lyra, remember?” Amethyst scratched his muzzle as he recalled the day that he went to the mane stylists.
A few seconds later his eyes lit up as he remembered the conversation the two had shared at the mane stylist’s. “Oh yeah, Lyra. Cryptozoologist right?”
Lyra nodded, “And you’re Lavender Star. You got abducted by a llama girl.” Amethyst nodded at Lyra’s correct recalling of their conversation.
“Remarkable coincidence running into you here Lavender. So what are you doing here, and who’s that mare?”
Amethyst sweated a bit as he formulated a lie. “My brother comes here all the time and that mare is Sunny Skies. She told me that she would take me to my brother’s favorite hangout for some fun; I didn’t know what kind of fun she had in mind.”
“That sucks. Hey, care for a slice?” Lyra levitated a slice of pizza up to Amethyst.
Amethyst took the slice in his own aura. “Sure, I could eat.” Within a matter of minutes both mares demolished the pizza post haste.
As Lyra ate the last slice of pizza, Amethyst saw her head turn toward the back of the bar. In the far right corner, there was a wooden archway. Various bloops and other loud noises emanated from that archway. “What‘s over there?” Lyra asked as she got out of her chair. Amethyst followed her as Lyra went over to the arch.
Beyond the arch there was a small room filled to the brim with arcade games. Numerous large consoles lined the left hand wall of the arcade, and a pair of pinball machines sat at the far end of the room. In the center, a large air hockey table stood prominently for everypony to see, while to the right, there was a pool table with several stallions crowded around it. The entire room had several ponies playing many different games as Lyra and Amethyst looked in with awe.
“Wow this is totally awesome. Who woulda thought a place like this would have such a cool arcade,” Lyra said as her eyes glittered.
Amethyst smiled at seeing this place. I’ve never been so happy to see this place. Everything these past few days has been so weird it’s very comforting to see something familiar.
As the two mares stood in front of the archway, a pair of stallions hacked away at each other at the air hockey table. The two exchanged the puck furiously until the air cut out. The stallion closest to them threw his hooves up in defeat and stormed away from the table. The stallion on the far end smiled to himself as he took a sip of a mug of apple cider and departed as well.
“Oooo, I so wanna play that,” Lyra squealed as she darted over to the far side of the air hockey table with Amethyst following her.
Lyra smiled at the sight of seeing Amethyst join her at the air hockey table. “I didn’t know you liked air hockey.”
“You bet I do; I’m a pro at this.” Amethyst smirked with confidence.
Lyra smirked right back at Amethyst. “A pro huh? Let’s put that to the test!” Lyra promptly used her magic to levitate the puck hitter and attach it to her hoof. Soon after, Amethyst did the same with his. Amethyst levitated two bits and put them into the machine. The moment she did that, the table lit up with air. A puck came out on Amethyst’s side of the table. Without a moment’s hesitation Amethyst served the puck. Lyra hit it back and Amethyst missed the puck allowing Lyra to score a goal.
It was Lyra’s turn to serve the puck and she quickly did so. Amethyst intercepted the puck and hit the puck back at Lyra. The exchange of the puck went on for a few hits before Amethyst scored a goal on Lyra. The game continued for several minutes. At first Lyra dominated the scoring, earning a 5-point lead. However, Amethyst quickly responded by stepping his game up and he scored 6 points on Lyra before the air for the table cut off.
“Wow, you’re good. I haven’t seen a pony beat me since I met that little colt back in Ponyville.” Lyra said slack-jawed.
Amethyst walked up to Lyra and extended his hoof. “Good game.” Lyra reciprocated Amethyst’s offer of a hoof shake.
“I better go Lavender, it’s getting late.”
“See you around Lyra.” Amethyst smiled as Lyra walked away.
“Not bad…for a mare.” Amethyst turned to see an earth pony stallion with lime green fur and teal eyes.
“Pardon?” Amethyst asked as he gave the stallion a skeptical look.
The stallion smirked. “You played well against that other girl, but there’s no way you can beat me.”
“Why’s that?” Amethyst asked with a sneer.
“Because you’re a mare, and mares can’t play games,” the stallion said with a smirk.
Amethyst felt his face grow red, “Excuse me?!” Amethyst screamed.
The stallion kept his cool and leaned against the wall. “Don’t get me wrong, you’re good for a mare but a mare just can’t compete with a stallion in the gamers’ arena…especially me.” The stallion shot a smug look at Amethyst.
Amethyst stared daggers at this stallion and bolted right up to him. “Would you care to put that assumption to the test, plot head? You and me, that air hockey arena, right now!”
“Eh, I’ll pass. I got drinking to do.” The stallion said as he walked away.
Amethyst scowled. “What’s the matter? You afraid you’ll lose to a mare?”
The stallion turned to face him after he said that. “No, I’m not afraid.”
“If you’re so confident that mares are so bad at games and that you’re so awesome, then prove it!” Amethyst smirked.
“All right, you’re on,” the stallion said as he went over to the air hockey table followed shortly by Amethyst. Amethyst pulled two bits out of his mane and inserted them into the machine. Once again, the air hockey table lit up with air and the puck popped up on the stallion’s side. The stallion promptly hit the puck at Amethyst and Amethyst hit it right back into the stallion’s goal. The game continued and quickly it became pretty one sided. Amethyst scored goal after goal on the stallion on the other side of the table. The stallion looked increasingly desperate as Amethyst surpassed the fifteen-point mark. In his panic, the stallion hit the puck and it bounced off the sideboard and right into his own goal. Soon enough the game was over, Amethyst won the game twenty points to negative one. The stallion sat there slack jawed as the air hockey table lost its airflow.
“I--I can’t believe it. I lost. To a girl!” the stallion exclaimed.
Amethyst sat there smugly and looked back at the stallion. “Well well, it seems that mares can play games just as well as stallions.”
“You…you cheated. There’s just no other way you could have beaten me,” the stallion said as sweat poured down his face.
Amethyst rolled his eyes “Dude, just be a stallion and accept you lost, because right now I’m more of a stallion than you are.”
The stallion slumped to the floor and stared absent-mindedly into the distance. As Amethyst turned away from the table, he bumped into three stallions standing immediately behind him.
“Hey there. Err that was pretty awesome. Wanna play a round of poker with us?” the middle stallion asked with a smile.
Amethyst grinned at the idea. “You bet boys. If there’s one thing I like more than winning at games it’s winning at games and earning an extra bit or two.”
--------------------------------------
The night dragged on, although nopony could actually see that the sun had set several hours ago. A large clock decorated with cider imagery was the only indicator of the sun’s present state. Amethyst was sitting at a table in the bar along with three other stallions. His face was unmoving. He looked down at five cards he was levitating in his aura. In Amethyst’s mind’s eye, he smiled as he looked down at his hand.
“I raise ten bits and a kiss.” Amethyst grinned as he slid ten coins onto a pile of bits in the center of the table. A stallion on Amethyst’s immediate left slid five bits into the pile and grinned.
Another stallion to Amethyst’s right sneered and set his cards on the table. “I’m out,” he pouted.
The last stallion at the table was across the table from Amethyst. He grinned and slid a large pile of bits into the center of the table. Amethyst stared the stallion down as he discarded a single card and drew a new one. The stallion simply nodded as the pair continued to stare each other down.
“What do you have?” Amethyst grinned.
The stallion laid his hand onto the table. “Three princes, a five and a two,” he announced.
“A pair of twos, a five and a jack,” the stallion on Amethyst’s left announced as he set his hand down.
Amethyst soon followed suit “An ace, a discord which I’m making an ace and three princesses.”
Both of the stallions threw their hooves up in defeat as Amethyst levitated the entire pile of bits to his side of the table.
“I can’t believe you won again…I’m gonna quit before I lose my horseshoes,” the stallion to Amethyst’s left said as he got up from the table.
The stallion on the right soon joined him. “I’m with him,” he said.
“I’m out of money so I can’t play anymore,” the third stallion said as he too got up from his chair.
“Aww come on guys, just one more round,” Amethyst pleaded as his eyes grew big.
The stallions just ignored Amethyst and continued walking away. “Hey bozos you all owe me a kiss,” Amethyst scowled at them.
At hearing that both of the stallions turned around and the one in the middle spoke, “I thought you didn’t want to be kissed?”
“Buy me another glass of hard cider and I’ll call it even,” Amethyst smiled. Reluctantly the stallions went up to the bar table and ordered another mug of cider. Amethyst held his hoof to his head; an odd headache had developed after Amethyst had begun sipping on his first mug of cider. A minute later, the three stallions returned to the table and set the second mug next to the first.
“Enjoy your evening madam,” one of the stallions said. After that, the stallions left the table. Amethyst just sat there, sipping on his mug of cider. All the while, his headache started to grow more and more intense. I’ve never felt a buzz this strong, maybe I should stop. Nah I can handle three ciders easily. Amethyst thought to himself as he took yet another sip.
Amethyst continued to drink down his cider. By the time he reached his second mug, the world was becoming blurrier for Amethyst. He found it increasingly hard to focus on anything. Despite these feelings, he continued to drink the cider. He finished the second mug and slammed it down on the table. Amethyst tilted in his chair, his eyes drooped as he looked around the bar.
“Wow…I’ve never been so buzzed in all my life,” Amethyst slurred as he hiccupped.
He just tipped in his chair until a yellow blur sat down in front of him. “Hey Lavender.”
“Hey there umm err what was your name again,” Amethyst hiccupped.
The blur replied “I’m Sunny Skies, remember?”
The blur began to come into focus, the image of Sunny became clear for Amethyst to see. “Oh, right, Sunny how could I forget such a sexy face,” Amethyst leered.
Sunny looked back at Amethyst, a look of lust rapidly developed on her face. Amethyst found himself blushing at Sunny. She looked into his eyes, Amethyst looked right back. Soon enough, Amethyst had also developed a lusty look on his face.
“Well Lavender, it seems like I couldn’t get any good catches in the stallion department; may as well try the mare department.” Sunny grinned.
A look of confusion developed on Amethyst’s face. “Mare department? And who’s Lavender?”
Sunny stared at Amethyst in confusion. “Err, you’re Lavender. Don’t tell me you’re so drunk you forgot your own name?”
“Oh you,” Amethyst giggled. “I’m surprised you got so drunk as to think that I’m a mare. Geez I must have been breathing a lot of helium, my voice sounds waaaay too squeaky.”
Sunny looked on at Amethyst in growing confusion. “What are you talking about Lavender?”
Amethyst hiccupped kissed Sunny right on the lips “My name isn’t Lavender. I’m Amethyst Shard, the most smartest pony in all of err wherever we are”
“I thought Amethyst was your twin brother?” Sunny asked with a cocked eyebrow
Amethyst waved his foreleg into the air. “Silly Sunny, I don’t have a twin sister. And you have like the totally best mane I’ve seen on a mare.” Amethyst leaned in with a smirk.
“But--you’re a mare Lavender, Amethyst or whoever you are,” Sunny said while waving her forelegs.
Amethyst giggled, “That’s a good one Sunny. I’m not a mare I’m a big ol’ manly stallion. See?” Amethyst started rubbing around on his lower body. Panic began to build on his face as he continued to rub. “What the heck, where did it go? Oh, how could I forget!” Amethyst sarcastically face hoofed. “I got poofed into a mare by some magic statue thingy. Lavender Star is just a made up name so ponies don’t find out what happened, like you, Sunny.”
Sunny just sat there slack jawed. She looked on at Amethyst with wide eyes at what he had just said. “So… you’re actually Amethyst Shard?”
“Yeppers. The one and only.” Amethyst smiled and hiccupped. As Amethyst stared at Sunny, a pleasant sound filled his ears. He turned to see somepony had set up a karaoke machine and somepony had started singing.
“Oh sweet, its karaoke night! I’m totally gonna go sing tonight. I bet my voice is super sexy while I’m a super sexy mare.” Amethyst got out of his chair and stumbled toward the karaoke machine. As soon as Amethyst got there, the pony who was singing was gone. Without a moment’s hesitation, Amethyst got in front of the karaoke machine.
“Ok everypony. Now it’s time for some real fun” Amethyst giggled “I’m gonna sing ‘Love is in Bloom’.” Amethyst clicked a few buttons on the machine and ‘Love is in bloom’ appeared on the screen. Within moments, the song started playing and Amethyst started singing. As far as he was concerned, his singing voice was crisp, clean and perfect. However, the audience had a different opinion. Soon enough boos echoed from the crowd as Amethyst’s drunken singing penetrated their ears.
They love me! Their boos of joy are so encouraging!
----------------------------------------
For the past hour, some mare’s bad singing penetrated the entire bar. Since Misty had arrived, he had taken a seat at the bar stool and started sipping away at some cider. He glanced off into the air in deep thought.
It’s still hard to believe Amethyst is a mare now. I wonder how extensive the change is. Could it be changing his memory so he thinks he’s always a mare. Sweet Celestia I certainly hope not; I like Amethyst the way he is. Misty winced as another ill-formed note graced his ears.
“Good grief, that mare is too drunk to sing her way out of a paper sack.” Misty groaned as he put his ears to the side of his head. After a few minutes of listening to the drunken mare sing, the music stopped.
“Finally!” called out a random stallion. Misty sighed and took another sip of his cider.
I wonder how Amethyst is doing.
As Misty was sitting there, another pony joined him in the seat to his right. Misty turned to see Amethyst. Amethyst looked extremely unsteady; he tilted quite a bit as he sat on the barstool. His eyes were half closed and a rather creepy smile graced his face.
“I can’t believe those ponies. How dare they say I have a terrible singing voice.” Amethyst slurred as he took a sip of a mug of hard cider.
Misty looked stunned the sight of Amethyst like that confused him to no end. “Hey Shard, are you ok?”
Amethyst hiccupped and leaned in close to Misty. “Oh silly. I’m fine Fisty, perfectly fine.”
“Misty,” Misty corrected with an awkward glare. “How many ciders have you had?”
“Oh just three and half.” Amethyst giggled. “Hardly enough to get me that drunk.”
Misty nodded nonchalantly. “Yeah, sure, not drunk.”
“You know Listy,” Amethyst slurred while waving his left foreleg.
“Misty,” Misty corrected again.
Amethyst blushed, “Yeah right Misty, sorry. So Anyways I was just thinking about how much I total liked you. I mean like.” Amethyst abruptly hiccupped again. “You’re the most awesomest friend a guy like me could ever have.” Amethyst wrapped a foreleg around Misty’s shoulder.
Sweet Celestia I’ve never seen Amethyst so sauced before. I think he overestimated how much alcohol his new body could tolerate. Misty thought as he looked over at Amethyst.
“Yeah totally most-awesome friend,” Misty replied with a nod.
Amethyst giggled and released Misty from his embrace. “You know. I had the most interesting dream yesterday.”
“Yeah...” Misty nodded.
Amethyst drunkenly smiled and took another sip of cider. “I was in the bar and I was like totally a guy again. I got some coffee and then I saw you. And girly me was totally right next to you then we kissed and boom we made sweet love right over there,” Amethyst pointed over at a spot next to one of the table. “Oh man, you felt so good up in my mare bits.” Amethyst put on an awkward looking smile.
Misty cringed and shied away from Amethyst, “Ooook, I didn’t need to know that.”
“I’ve been thinking about that awesome dream. And I kind of think I had it because I’m curious about how you would feel inside me,” Amethyst giggled. “I can’t tell for sure because I’m into mares but from what I’ve seen you’re supposed to be pretty hot.” Misty blushed as his eyes darted around the room. “Ever since I became a mare I’ve had all kinds of questions. Oh, Celestia. I can’t help it anymore. I’m so curious.”
Without another word, Amethyst lunged at Misty and planted a passionate kiss on Misty’s muzzle. Misty went wide-eyed at the unexpected and sudden kiss that Amethyst gave him. He tried to break away, but Amethyst just held on tight and continued the kiss. Thirty seconds later Amethyst let Misty go.
“Oh Celestia that felt amazing. I’ve never kissed anypony else like that before, especially another stallion.” Amethyst shot a lusty look at Misty, “So what do you say we make my dream a reality? I’m interested to know what it feels like to make love to a stallion.”
Misty shook his head. “No Shard, I’m not interested.”
A frown soon graced Amethyst’s face. “Oh come on Misty. It would only be a one time thing. You take mares to your bed all the time. Why should I be any different?”
Misty looked nervously back at Amethyst. “Do you hear yourself Shard? You’re obviously drunk”
“I’m not drunk Difsty,” Amethyst said with a slurred voice and a hiccup.
“Yes you are Amethyst. You’re my friend and I wouldn’t violate your body while you’re in a female body. Especially since you’re so drunk.” Misty said with a concerned look on your face. “Let me take you home Amethyst.”
“Will you do naughty things to me?” Amethyst smiled as he started tipping in his chair more and more.
“Err yeah, sure. I’ll do such naughty things to you—yeah such naughty things.” Misty’s eyes darted around the room.
“Sweet, hey Misty mind if I take a little na-” Amethyst promptly passed out and fell face first on the floor.
Misty looked down at the unconscious Amethyst and sighed. I better get him home before he wakes up and does something he’ll really regret. Without another word, Misty slid his neck under Amethyst and hoisted him onto his back.
“Seems like Amethyst took in a bit more booze than he could handle.”
Misty nodded “Yeah, I think he overestimated his body weight.”
“Ah ha! So that really is Amethyst!” Misty turned to see who was talking to him and saw none other than Sunny Skies. Misty mentally jumped out of his fur at the sight of Sunny. She looked at Misty with an intense glare.
“Ok Charm, start talking, why’s Amethyst a mare?” Sunny glared at Misty. Misty shrank at Sunny calling him by his middle name, he knew Sunny well enough to know she only called him Charm when she meant business.
Misty shied away from Sunny, “How did you know?”
“He told me a half an hour ago. Right around when he started getting hammered. So again, Misty Charm, kindly explain to me what in Tartarus is going on!” Sunny growled at Misty.
“Look Sunny, I have to get Amethyst home so he doesn’t get into trouble. Come by my place in the morning and I promise I’ll tell you everything I know.” Misty turned to walk away.
Sunny continued her cold stare. “Ok but this better be good.” Sunny promptly stormed away and towards the front door.
Misty followed behind; as he was walking, he felt a sudden force of something hit him in the side of the head. He felt something splatter against his head and he heard a clang as a silver tray landed next to him. Red goo dripped off the side of Misty’s head along with an occasional bit of what looked like cheese.
Did somepony just chuck a pizza at me?
“Get your filthy hooves off her.” Misty looked over to see the source of the voice was an orange earth pony with green eyes, a brown mane a pizza cutie mark ,and a chefs outfit.
“What gives!? You threw a pizza at me,” Misty said as he wiped the pizza sauce off the side of his head. The stallion had a look of sheer rage on his face as he bolted out from behind the counter and placed himself between Misty and the front door of the bar.
“You were going to take that mare home and take her to your bed, don’t deny it!” the stallion shouted.
Misty recoiled from the accusation, “What! No I wasn’t I was just going to get her home before she does something she regretted.”
“Don’t lie to me Misty Charm. That’s right Misty, I know all about you. How you come into this bar looking for drunken mares. You promise them a relationship then you just cast them away when they no longer suit you!” the stallion said as he shuffled his left hoof.
Misty looked around nervously. “Yes I do take mares home and do that but not this mare. She’s my roommate’s sister. If I were to take her to my bed Amethyst would beat the crap out of me.”
“A likely story. You’re just taking this mare home to violate her. Well I won’t let you, this mare is delicate and I won’t let you take advantage of that like you did with Orchid.”
”Orchid? Look—” Misty paused. “—Name please?”
“Scrumptious,” Scrumptious replied as his tail flicked.
“Look Scrumptious. I’ll grant you that I absolutely took advantage of Orchid when she was at her worst but I won‘t do that to Ame—Lavender. He—she means a lot to Amethyst and Amethyst means a lot to me.” Misty looked back at Scrumptious.
“A likely story.” Scrumptious continued his hard stare at Misty.
Misty sighed and brought a hoof to his forehead. “Could you please move Scrumptious. I’m getting kind of sick of this.” Misty stared down Scrumptious.
“I knew I’d find you here Misty!” A feminine voice shouted. the two stallions were broken from their staring contest to see none other than Orchid Seed standing in front of the door.
“Orchid? What are you doing here?” Misty asked with a confused look on his face.
Orchid stared daggers into Misty’s eyes, “I went to check on Lavender and I noticed neither of you were home. So I figured you took her out to this horrid bar to get her drunk so you could have your way with her. And it looks like I got here just in time.”
“You don’t understand Orchid, I wasn’t going to do anything to her. Lavender got herself drunk and—” Misty stammered.
Orchid growled. “Just cram it, Misty. I’ve had enough of your lies, and who the buck is this guy?” Orchid motioned to Scrumptious
“I--I’m err um Scramptious—err I mean Scrumptious Delight.” Scrumptious looked around as sweat started to bead on his forehead.
Orchid glared at Scrumptious, “I bet you’re one of Misty’s bum friends. What are you hoping for? A three-way?”
Scrumptious gasped. “What!? No no no! I’m not one of Misty’s friends. I’m on your side.”
Misty felt his anger rising at these accusations. “Damn it Orchid why do you always have to make everything into a fight? I wasn’t going to do anything to Amethyst other than take him home and get him to bed.” Misty shouted.
“Well if you’re so keen to get this young lady home then why don’t you let Orchid take her?” Scrumptious grinned.
Misty groaned. “Fine if you insist, you two can take her home.” In a huff, Misty plopped Amethyst onto the ground and stormed out of the bar without another word
