“And so then Luna, at the top of her lungs, yelled ‘For Equestria! Buck Yeah!’, and then pierced a hole in a nearby barrel with her horn, and proceeded to drink the entire contents. As I discovered later, the barrel had been filled with an extremely strong drink distilled from potatoes,” said Princess Celestia, taking a chug of her cider. Twilight alternated between looking at Princess Celestia, her own drink untouched, and staring at Princess Luna, who was engaged in a game of darts with Cadence.
“She then proceeded to commit all number of social and diplomatic faux pas. Fortunately, I was able to talk them out of going to war, but their borders remained closed to us for a very long time. And that is the story of the last time we directly interacted with the Yaks,” finished Celestia, draining her mug. “She didn’t really actually say ‘buck’ either, but a word that rhymes with it, but I am a pretty, pretty princess and cannot swear in public spaces.”
And just like that, Celestia toppled forwards, her head only just saved from slamming into the table by Twilight’s magic catching it.
“Huzzah!” said Luna, from over by the dartboard, “I have won!” Cadence grumbled something under her breath, and both made their way back to the table that they were sharing with Twilight and Celestia.
“It would appear that Celestia has passed out again,” said Luna, “she never did have a high tolerance for alcohol. Do you know what this calls for?”
Twilight and Cadence shared a look for a moment.
“Does it call for us taking Princess Celestia home and calling it a night?” asked Twilight.
“No! It calls for us to drink more!” said Luna, “Barkeep, bring out your strongest drink!”
“No!” yelled both Cadence and Twilight.
For a moment, everything paused. The bartender, not sure which of the princesses he was supposed to listen to, ducked beneath the counter. Then Luna magically picked up Twilight, Cadence, and the sleeping Celestia, and shoved them out of the door.
“F**k yeah!” yelled Luna, as the bartender delivered her the strongest drinks he had available.
Outside, Twilight sighed.
“Well, that’s another bar we can’t go back to again,” she said, levitating Celestia onto her and Cadence’s backs. “Let’s at least get Princess Celestia back to the castle.”
