It's almost New Years in the most coldest, snowy Winter I've ever seen. My sister Sapphire and new boyfriend, Kasper, are standing with me at the front of the castle door where we wait for our other triplet sister, Emerald. It's hard to believe that I'm a triplet. Me and Sapphire wore our best dress coats. Kasper tried to see if his brothers wanted to meet me and my sisters all at once, but his brother, Flare, said no and Solar, his more nicer brother, said he had work to do with Princess Celestia. I learned to pay no mind to his brother Flare. I haven't met neither of them and yet I know Flare is no good. But you never know. He could be nice... To some point.
"Where are they?" Sapphire cried, "It's cold as plots out here!"
"Stop your whining," I yelled.
My father, Prince Shining Armor, was with Emerald the whole flight just like he was with us. It wasn't a long flight. For us, we had to fly for two hours. It seems like for Emerald, it's four hours. The wait was killing me. Sapphire looked like she was about to slap me and Kasper tried not to look at her. He thinks that if he looks her in the eyes then he'll turn to stone. It's kinda funny, but not true.
"Shut up, Ruby," Sapphire barked, "I'm just a little worry. They're not here yet and it feels like ten million hours have gone by. It's a blizzard out there."
"And I thought I was the lazy one," I smirked.
Kasper just stood there. He was quietly snickering at us. I paid no mind to him.
"What the buck are you talking about?" Sapphire yelled.
"You can't stand for ten minutes without whining," I snorted, "Yes, it's cold, but still. Just stop bitching about it!"
"They're here!" She pointed to the sky as a flying carriage flew down. Two Pegasus guards landed gracefully with the carriage strapped to them. "FINALLY, SHE'S HERE!!! WE CAN GO INSIDE SOON!!!!"
I rolled her eyes as we all stood there watching the carriage door open. I bounced lightly as a hoof poked out. A really light grey unicorn with green hair and purple glasses stepped out the carriage. Her coat looked like one of the coats I saw in Manehatten. She looked like she just woke up and never brushed her mane or tail this morning. Lots of ponies have this style of hair. Its pretty common.
"Hi," I said happily, "I'm Ruby and this is Sapphire. We're your sisters."
Emerald lifted her hoof half way off the ground. She waved slightly and looked away. Her mane covered her face as she frowned lightly. She looked like Ms. Fluttershy when I first met her.
Sapphire stepped forward. "Hey, what's up," she said, "You Emerald, right?" Emerald nodded as she continued to looked at the ground. Me and Sapphire looked at each other. "Umm..."
"Can you talk?" I asked in a worried voice. She nodded, but didn't say anything.
"She talks," our father said, stepping out the carriage with purple saddle bags, "She's just shy. I could barely get her to talk to me, but she did tell me her favorite hobby and color." He dropped the purple bags at Emerald's side. One bag unzipped and a ton of books spilled out into the snow. "Which isn't hard to guess."
Emerald smiled and blushed. Kasper stepped up at last. "And I'm Kasper," he smiled.
Emerald looked up at him with wide eyes and her mouth to the floor. It was like she never saw an alicorn before. "Are you my brother?" she asked.
"SHE TALKED!!" I cheered. Everypony stared at me like I was crazy. I sheepishly blushed and cleared my throat. "Um...I mean she talk."
"She's not mute, Ruby," Sapphire said, "Dad just said she can talk."
"Well...whatever," I groaned.
Emerald looked at Kasper waiting for an answer to her question. "Are you?" she asked again.
"No," he said, "Not yet anyways." He looked me and smiled warmly. I smiled back.
"So you two are dating?" she asked softly.
"There ya go," I chimed.
Sapphire gagged as me and Kasper hugged. I paid no mind to her.
"Can we go inside now?" Sapphire bellowed, "It's cold!"
"Looks who's complaining now," I said.
"You can always go inside, Fire Stone," our father said, "It's your home for now."
"FOR NOW?!" she yelled.
"Your mom will be here in a few months."
"Why doesn't that bitch just come and get us now?!"
"SAPPHIRE!!" We all stared at Sapphire. Emerald looked like she wasn't surprised at her. Dad, on the other hoof, we never heard him yell at any of us. He's raised his voice before, but not at us. Or Sapphire.
"And this is where I leave," Kasper said, running away. "I'll be at the party later on, Ru-Ru. Bye."
"I love you, Kasper," I smiled.
"Love you, too."
I watched as he left and was completely in the castle. When he was gone, I turned to Emerald. "I'm so sorry you had to see this," I frowned, "Sapphire can be this way. It's what makes her, her."
"I've heard worse," Emerald said quietly, "Trust me."
In the royal ball, Princess Celestia let us have our small party complete with balloons and cake. How they got a real rainbow in the ballroom is beyond me. The cake had a red layer, blue layer, and green layer. The balloons were all our favorite colors. My red, Sapphire's dark blues and blacks, and Emerald's purple. It was beautiful.
"Wow," we all said.
"You three have fun," dad said, "And make sure you clean up after."
"OK, dad," I said.
"Yeah... No," Sapphire mumbled.
Emerald just nodded. As dad left, Sapphire laid on the wax floor and watched a ladybug walk across her front leg. She groaned as she turned over on her back. She was obviously bored. Me and Emerald watched her as she looked up at us and glared.
"WHAT?!" she yelled.
Emerald backed away and hid behind me. "N-nothing," she whispered.
"Stop scaring her, Sapphire," I shouted. Sapphire sat up and gave me a death glare. She looked ready to kill me. I didn't flinch and run. I'm not scared of her at all, and Emerald will get use to Sapphire just like I did. "Do something! I dare you!"
"No need," Sapphire smirked, "You seem too busy being Emerald's shield."
"Because I know you sure as hell won't be hers."
Sapphire stood up quickly. I pushed Emerald back behind me when out of nowhere Kasper ran in.
"I'M HERE!!" he yelled from down the hall. "I'm here, Ru-Ru! Did I miss anything?"
"Not really..." I muttered quietly.
He stood at the door and turned his back to us, shouting down the hall. Sapphire laughed at him at if he was talking to himself. I held myself back from bucking her in the face. Kasper then turned back to us and ran on to the dance floor. Two very large figures ran in with him. The figures were two other alicorn colts who also had fire for hair.
Kasper stopped in front of me. "Hey," he said, "I told you I'd be here. I got my brothers to finally come with me too."
The two alicorns came up behind Kasper and tackled him to the floor. I stepped back a bit and looked at Sapphire and Emerald in delight and fear. Sapphire stared at the blue haired alicorn. Her eyes sparkled. Great, I thought, Sapphire likes a new colt. This won't end well.
Kasper and his brothers stood up brushed themselves off. "Ruby, this is Solar and Flare," Kasper smiled.
"Sup," Flare said. He then looked at Sapphire. "Oh... Hey, Sapphire... W-what's up...?" Flare started to blush.
"You two know each other?" I asked.
"Yeah... We met two weeks ago..." Flare said, choking on his words.
"We bumped into each other that night you so VIOLENTLY SLAMMED THAT DAMN DOOR IN MY FACE!!!" Sapphire yelled.
Flare smiled. "I love it when she's mad," Flare growled.
We all just stared at them as they looked into each other’s eyes. Awkward silence filled the room for a minute or two. In an attempt to break the silence, I walked up to Solar with Emerald by my side.
"Hi," I smiled. Solar stepped back a bit with a surprised look on his face. He waved shyly, keeping his eyes glued to the floor. The same reaction as Emerald's when I met her. "Did I startle you?" He nodded. He then glanced up at me with shy eyes. He made eye contact while answering my questions, but he just stood there silently. I then noticed he looked past my shoulder and his eyes went wide.
Before I could ask what he was looking at, a voice whispered creepily in my ear. "He doesn't talk much," Flare said behind me. Me and Emerald both jumped and fell to the floor. Emerald, however, fell in Solar's arms. "Ha! I scared you!"
"You OK?" Solar asked. Emerald looked up into his eyes and nodded. Her glasses were half off her face. Solar pushed them up with his magic.
"Thanks," she said, standing.
"Sure thing," he said blushing lightly.
"Your voice," I said. "It's so deep." Flare burst out laughing. I looked the there way in confusion. "Anyways. Your voice is deeper than Kasper's."
Flare stopped laughing long enough to say the dumbest thing I have ever heard. "That's why he doesn't like to talk," Flare said, "That's not his real voice. He actually has a little baby filly's voice." Solar glared at him and walked away mumbling something. "I'm the one with the deepest voice."
"That's a lie," Kasper snickered under his breath.
"I heard that!" Me and Emerald giggled. Sapphire walked over to Flare and stood tall trying to look pretty next to him. I can see how these two are already in love. "Why can't you just except that I have the deeper voice than the both of yours?!"
"Because it's not true," Solar said.
"Whatever, Solar."
"Well it's not. I was born with the deepest voice and you know it."
Flare's fire mane started glowing brighter and the whole room got hot all of a sudden. "Take... That... Back...!" Flare groaned under his breath.
"Flare, stop it," Kasper said, "You're making the room hot." The whole room felt like it went from 0 to 60 in ten seconds flat. As great as it felt to be warm in the winter, this heat was too much to take. Already, me and my sisters were sweating. "And you're also making the girls hot."
"That's not hard for the green haired beauty standing next to your marefriend," Solar muttered to Kasper.
"Huh," Emerald squeaked.
Solar looked away fast and blushed hard. "Help..." he whispered to Kasper.
"Flare, stop before you cook your the girls alive," Kasper pleaded.
"TAKE EVERYTHING BACK AND I'LL STOP!!" Flare demanded.
"Don't stop," Sapphire said calmly. A little too calmly. "Whatever he's doing is making me feel a lot better."
"But he's making us hot," I explained.
"Well too bad. I feel better in this castle now than I did two months ago."
I rolled my eyes turned to Emerald who was panting heavily. She magically carried her saddlebags over to her and grabbed a scrunchy from the pouch. She tied her mane in a ponytail leaving some hair in the front to make a bang. She smile to herself and noticed I was looking at her. She looked away shyly and frowned.
Why is she so shy? Was it something we did or said? Maybe she's just home sick or was sick of home. Whatever it is, we might need to get use to it and she needs to get use to us.
"If Blue Eyes can take the heat then I'm not stoppin' for no pony," Flare said, interrupting my thoughts.
"Blue Eyes...?" Solar said in a confused tone.
"That her pet name," Flare cooed, nuzzling Sapphire's neck.
"Stop nuzzling me," Sapphire sigh. She pulled away from Flare's embrace, blushing.
I groaned in aggravation. "Stop whatever it is you're doing and turn the damn heat down!" I yelled.
"No a chance," Flare hissed.
"Why not?" Emerald asked shyly.
"Because I think my poor brother, Solar, likes to see you sweaty and panting," Flare smirked. Emerald's eyes widened and she looked at the floor, blushing.
"FLARE, SHUT UP!!" Solar yelled.
"Just look at him. He's just dying over there." Emerald glanced up quickly and looked back to the floor, blushing even harder.
"SHUT UP!!!!!" Solar screamed. His face turned bright red and he couldn't look at Emerald.
Flare made things worse and tried to get Outcast in on the teasing, but instead of engage, he looked away and stood next to me. I put my hoof to my face and blushed with every word Flare utter. Sapphire was blushing as well, but I don't think she was blushing for Emerald's embarrassment. I couldn't stand to listen to another word so I stepped up and walked towards Flare, but before could even touch him, Solar spread his wings and ordered Flare to stop once more.
"Aww, doesn't the poor baby feel threatened," Flare teased in a whiny voice, "Should I kiss it for you?"
"Prepare to die!" Solar hissed. His eyes sparked with anger like two forest fires in two different parts of Equestria.
At that moment, I was just now noticing his eyes were two different colors just like Kasper's eyes. Only his right eye was green and the other was blue. In fact, I noticed Flare's eyes, although they were both blue, were two different colors as well. Light blue and normal blue. I gazed into each of their eyes and noticed only their right eye was blue. I wondered why.
I looked over at Kasper and whispered in his ear. "Shouldn't you do something," I asked. He nodded in response and walked towards them both. As he walked, his horn glowed in the brightest shade of red. To me, it looked a bit like a dark pink. The magical ore covered Solar and Flare from horn to hooves and they floated off the floor.
"That's enough you two," he said, "The both of you need to calm down and chill out." I giggled as his horn glowed brighter. In a flash, they all teleported to places unknown. Me and my sister looked at each other, confused. The temperature dropped in seconds and Sapphire started whining about the cold. I rolled my eyes and looked at Emerald again, making sure she was OK, but before I could, Kasper, Solar and Flare returned out of nowhere. Kasper looked fine, but Flare and Solar were covered in ice cycles.
My sisters and I stared blankly at all of them. "Oh," I said, "You weren't kidding."
After the big welcoming party for Emerald, Princess Celestia's New Year’s party was about to start. You would think being at Canterlot Ball would be the most amazing thing in Equestria next to the Grand Galloping Gala. I think Emerald's welcoming party was way better. First off, when the New Years party started, everypony entered like zombies, but then the alcoholic cider came out and everypony got drunk. You would also think the a Canterlot party of any kind would sophisticated. Well, at a New Year’s party, nothing is sophisticated at all.
Secondly, at Emerald's party, she really started to open up to us. She talked a lot more than when she just got her. She was smiling and laughing. We learned a lot about her and how she got her. She likes almost everything me and Sapphire like. From music and art to cake and ice cream.
But the New Years party changed our whole view on Emerald. Let me set the seine.
It was 10 at night. Princess Luna had just raised the moon and stars. Everypony was just starting to come into the castle. All is quiet for about 30 minutes. Then... The cider comes out.
"Awww, hell yeah!" Flare bursts. Princess Celestia, who was standing right next to Flare, gave him a hard glare of disgust. "I mean... Ummm..."
"No way out of this one, brother," Kasper said.
"Shut up, Kasper," Flare groaned under his breath.
Kasper glanced up at the staircase and saw my hot pink heels in the shadows. "By the way, the girls are ready." he said. Solar looked up and saw the three of our shadows. "Get ready, boys."
We all stood at the top of the steps, waiting to be noticed by all three of the boys. "Get ready, girls," I said.
I took the first step down with my sisters following second step. A gentle smile grazed across my face as well as a blush. I took another step and took a deep breath. Half way done the steps and already I felt like everything was going just perfect. We gracefully walked down the stairs. The second I saw Kasper, my heart skipped a beat. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped when he saw me.
"Wow," he whispered to himself. My smile widened and felt so happy to see him again. "Just wow."
Sapphire was the next the come out the shadows. Although, when she stepped into the light her grey coat and black dress made her like she was still in the dark. If it wasn't for the sparkly sequence in the dress, she wouldn't even seem to be coming down the stairs. She walked down the steps with a serious look on her face. She looked so serious that she didn't look in the slightest happy at all.
When Flare looked at her for the first time, he nearly died. "Damn..." he said. His mother gave him another glare, but he didn't care. Sapphire looked amazing. Her black dress looked perfect and her blue eyes gleamed in the like of the ballroom. "She looks sexy as hell."
Sapphire's serious look washed off her face in a flash. She blushed hard and covered her face. When she got to the bottom of the stairs, she stood next to me and looked behind her. Emerald was still at the top and didn't seem to want to come down. We all looked up at her shadow and smiled, waiting kindly for her to come down.
"Come on down, Emma," I said. She took a small shift backwards and then looked down at the stairs. She stepped forward and slowly walked down the stairs. "That a girl."
All eyes were on her, except for Solar who was trying to fix his tie and shirt. Emerald's purple slipper was the first thing to come out the shadows. She took another step. And then another. When her face was visible in the light, we all gasped in awe. At that moment, Solar glanced up from his tie for a second and then, looked back down, not noticing Emerald. It wasn't until it hit him the next second that he did a double-take and stared at her beauty.
"You have great taste in mares, little bro," Kasper whispered to Solar.
When Emerald made it all the way down the steps, Solar stepped forward dragging his jaw across the floor. "Wow," he said, "You look... Gorgeous!"
"Awww," me and Sapphire cooed.
Emerald looked at the floor. "Thanks..." she said quietly.
A frown spread across her face. We looked at her, a little confused. Solar turned to us and looked confused as well. We all shrugged, unable to help. Solar turned back to Emerald and frowned as well.
"You OK, Emma," I asked. She nodded in response, keeping her head down. "Well OK... I guess."
"HEY," Sapphire yelled, looking down at the ballroom, "There's liquor down there! Who wants to get drunk?!"
We all stared at her like she was crazy, but knowing she was trying to lighten the mood, I snickered a bit. Flare started cracking up and hugged Sapphire. Then Sapphire started laughter. The rest of us looked at them like they were insane.
"I love this mare," Flare exploded, "Damn, you're funny." I could see that Princess Celestia had enough of Flare's ignorant remarks. Her eyes were shooting daggers at him so hard that if they were real then Flare would be dead. "Come on guys."
We all started walking down the steps side by side. Sapphire next to Flare and me next to Kasper. Solar tried to reach out to Emerald by being a gentlecolt, but oddly she backed away. Solar's kind gestures seem not to work. Nothing did. It wasn't until the party really started that we all saw a side of Emerald that we'll all never forget.
Me and Kasper were sitting with next to each other with Sapphire and Flare to my right and Solar and Emerald on his left. Like expected, Sapphire was already drinking before midnight. Flare apparently does the same thing and Kasper was always sick of it. Although he couldn't get drunk faster than Sapphire, he always burped after every sip, slurp and gulp. Even Sapphire didn't do it like that.
"So them I run out the door yelling, I'M LATE!!" Sapphire said drunkenly, "And EVERYPONY on the block took me to shut the buck up..." She paused to take a sip of her cider. "But I kept running."
"How interesting, Sapphire," I said sarcastically, "That story gets best every time you tell it." I turned to Kasper and murmured in his ear. "Mostly because it never happened."
He snickered and whispered back to me. "It's kinda interesting to me. Flare never tells drunk stories and even though it’s not real, I still think it's pretty funny the way she talks." I nodded in agreement and turned back to Sapphire and Flare.
"Ha, that's crazy," Flare said. I rolled my eyes and thought about telling him it wasn't real. The way I knew was because I was there.
First off, Sapphire wasn't last, she was a whole hour early because she didn't set her clock an hour forwards. Daylight savings time messes with me too, but that's no reason to run around in circles screaming at the top of your lungs, "I'M LATE!!!!"
"And then I jump in an air balloon and squished away the pig goats," Sapphire said. At that moment, me and Kasper busted out laughing. We nearly fell to the floor cracking up so hard. For Celestia's sake, I never knew my sister was so damn lightweight. "W'AT IS SO DAMN FUNKY!?"
"I'm sorry Phire, but you're just so drunk," I laughed, "All you had was a cup and a half of that cider and already you're sliding off your chair."
"I'M NOT DUCK!!" Me and Kasper exploded with laughter. If other ponies saw us, I bet they'd say we were the drunk ones. "IT NOT FUNNY!!"
Eventually, Flare started laughing with us, but it was a very little snicker. "It's kinda funny," he said. Sapphire glared drunkenly at him. Flare stuck his tongue out at her and laughed again. "Lighten up, babe. We're not trying to be mean."
"I don't give a sh..."
Then out of nowhere, Emerald screamed. "THEY'RE PLAYING MY SONG!!!!!"
"Wait... What?" Kasper said with an extra confused look on his face. Emerald grabbed Solar's by the hoof and dragged him to the dance floor. We all look at her like she lost it. Kasper was the most confused. "Wait..... WHAT!?!?!?"
They were playing The Spectacle by Countess Coloratura. I love the song too, but the way Emerald reacted was just outrageous. She was literally cleaning the floor with Solar's face. It would be funny if his face looked like an abstract picture, but instead he looked like the inside of a trash can. Sapphire laughed at his face though. She was just that drunk.
Me and Kasper ran over to them and picked Solar off the floor. "You OK, little bro," Kasper asked. Solar dusted himself off and looked at Emerald who shoot a look at the floor, blushing in embarrassment. Solar didn't look angry at her. In fact, he looked bewitched at her strength, and quite frankly, so were we.
"You... Are STRONG!!" Solar exploded. Emerald hid her face behind her mane and frowned. "I'm impressed."
Emerald looked up, shocked. "Really...?" she said softly. Solar nodded and smiled brightly. Emerald blushed and looked at the floor again. "Nopony has ever been... Impressed with me."
"Well, I think...."
"HEEYYY YOU GUYS!!!!" Sapphire exploded from across the room, "I WON!!!!"
"Sure you did, Blue Eyes," Flare said with a devilish smile. Sapphire giggled and kissed Flare. We all rolled our eyes and they joined us on the dance floor.
"Next time she get drunk is the day of my wedding night," I said firmly. Kasper snickered a little and Flare obviously didn't like my remark. "I'm telling you for a reason. Sapphire is way too drunk for my liking."
"Whatever," Flare puffed.
"LET'S PARTY!!!!!!!!!!" Sapphire screamed. I slapped my hoof to my face and groaned. When I looked up for a split second, Kasper and Solar shrugged and started dancing. Then Flare. Before I knew it, Emerald grabbed my foreleg and spun me so fast that I felt just as drunk as Sapphire. I went with it evenly and danced alongside Kasper.
"I can get use to this," I thought out loud. We danced to five song, but to me they seemed like ten or even twenty. Each was upbeat and made everypony dance like they were straight up fools. Some ponies danced like they had sense and others danced like their life depended on it. Everypony looked stupid, but nevertheless, I didn't judge.
In the last 30 minutes of the old year, Emerald got her wish: Starting a dance competition. The crazy thing is, she won her own dance off. It started with her watching everypony else and somehow she won after words. Then she got a hold of the DJ siston and rocked the hell out of the dance floor. Famous ponies everywhere wanted her autograph and even wanted to sign her up for a record deal. Sadly, she turned them all down. If I were her I would've signed everyponies hoof, horn, wings, back legs, front legs, foreheads, mane, tail, and flanks if they wanted me to. Aside from what I would do, I think Emerald made the right decision because in the final five minutes of the old year, it was what happened after that counts.
Five minutes until the new year and both Drunk Sapphire and Happy Hooves Emerald wore us out with their hard partying, but to my surprise, Sapphire was ready to pass out. Well.... Not really.
"Isn't she just cute when she's sleeping?" Flare cooed. I turned to look at Sapphire and like a lion's roar, she snored loudly with her mouth hung open and drool pouring out in large gushes. Flare's passionate and timid smile wiped off his face and he blushed in embarrassment. "Umm.... Wow...."
"Not so sexy now, is she?" Kasper teased.
"She has her moments," Flare chuckled, "I still think she's the most beautiful mare I've ever seen." Sapphire took another big snort of air. I couldn't help but laugh at her. "Like I said... Beautiful."
"She's also the only mare you've met outside the family."
"What-bucking-ever!"
While Flare and Kasper yelled at each other, I glanced over at Solar and Emerald, who were on the dance floor slow dancing to a song. They are so cute, I thought. I then looked back at Kasper and motioned to him.
"Yes, beautiful?" he said.
"Shut up, Kasper!!" Flare bellowed. I hushed Flare and pointed to his 'Sleeping Beauty', Sapphire. "He started it."
"Argh, you two are so childish," I groaned.
"Anyways," Kasper said turning to me, "Did you need something, Ru-Ru?" I grabbed Kasper's hoof and pulled him from his chair and guided him to the dance floor. "Where are we going?"
I dragged him to the floor and we stood next to Solar and Emerald. "Hey, guys," I said cheerfully, "Mind if we join?"
"Sh..." Solar hushed softly. I looked at him a bit confused and mad. I don't know why I was mad though. Then Kasper stood on the other side of Solar and motioned to me to come over to him. Before our eyes was a sleepy light grey mare. "I think she's sleeping."
"Awww," I cooed, "Ain't that cute?!"
"Yeah," Kasper sigh, "How long has she been like this?"
"Ever since we stopped rave dancing," Solar explained quietly, "After that last song she just laid her head on my shoulder. Then this slow song came on and we slow danced until she passed out in my arms."
"Wow," I said.
"Wow, indeed," Kasper added, "You've never talked that much before. You barely say a word per day." I glared at Kasper and hit on the shoulder. "Ouch... It's true!"
"Shh...." Emerald shifted in Solar's arms and he held completely still so he wouldn't wake her. She yawned and nuzzled his neck as she drifted back to sleep. Solar bit his lip and blushed so hard that I could tell he wanted to squeal with glee.
"Hm... I think she likes your warm coat there, little bro," Kasper snickered. Solar just blushed harder and covered his face with his giant wing. "And I know you like hers."
"So!" Solar said loudly. Emerald shifted again and Solar stopped moving. When Emerald was settled, Solar sighed in relief. "If I like her then what?"
"Then you like her. I'm not trying to say it's a bad thing." Solar's ears flopped down and he seem embarrassed. "No need to be defensive."
"Sorry."
"No problem." They then bumped hooves and did this weird hoof shake. I just smiled like nothing happened. I felt so out of place like I always do.
Then I spoke up. "Hey, Kasper," I said cheerfully, "We got one more minute!"
He looked at the clock. "Oh, crap!" he exploded. He then levitated his glass and mine to our sides. Solar did the same with his and Emerald's. "Are we ready?"
"Yeah," I smiled, "But don't you think we should wake Emerald and get Flare and..."
"HEEEEYYYYYYYY, YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!" Sapphire screamed from across the room. We all looked at her with wide eyes and extended wings. "IT'S ALMOST 12!!!!!!"
"SSHHHHHHHH!!!" we hissed all at once. Emerald shifted in Solar's arms again but this time she woke up. "Damn it, Sapphire!!"
"Hm... What's happening?" Emerald yawn.
"It's almost midnight, my Queen," Solar said, "New Years is here." Emerald stretched and rubbed her eyes with another yawn. She then looked up at us with sleepy eyes and smiled at Solar. Solar smiled back and blushed a bit. "Emerald...?"
"Yes, Solar," Emerald said cheerfully.
Solar took a breath and looked right in too Emerald's eyes. Kasper and I looked at each other with proud eyes and happy smiles. I motioned to Kasper to give them space. After we backed up, Solar turned to us and thanked us with a nod. He turned back to Emerald and opened his mouth.
"Emerald..."
"IT'S TIME!!!!!!" Sapphire screamed as she hopped onto the dance floor like a nut, "HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!!"
Flare ran after her give two glasses of cider. "Wait, Blue Eyes!" he yelled. Sapphire ran up to everyone screaming like a fool. The most shocking thing is that she ran up to each of us and kissed us on the cheek. The even more shocking thing is that Emerald turned her head to Sapphire not sure what was going on and got kissed on the lips.
Sweet Celestia, I thought. Emerald's face froze like ice. We all lookwd at her and Sapphire like they were fillyfooler. Kasper, Solar, Flare and my mouth dropped to the floor. When Sapphire broke the kiss, she danced around the floor and within seconds, she passed out in front of us.
"Oh jeez," Kasper said, slapping his hoof on his forehead.
We all looked at Emerald with worried faces. "Umm... Emma?" I asked, "Are you OK?" She said nothing and stiffly stood there. She then took a step. Then another. Then another.
"Emerald?" Solar called worriedly. Emerald started walking faster. It was long until she ran up the stairs. Solar sigh and ran after her with me, Kasper and Flare who carried Sapphire up to her room with his magic.
Up stairs, Emerald's room was cracked up with no light peering out at all. I was a bit worried to her reaction. We knocked on her door. No answer. Solar looked at the door then directed his attention to me. He then looked back at the door and entered without permission.
“Emerald…?” he called out with a sigh, “Are you OK?”
“She kissed me….” Emerald said in a whisper.
“Emerald, it was an accident.” Emerald looked up with sorrow eyes. Solar sat on the bed next to her and smiled weakly. “What’s so wrong with her kissing you…? I mean, other than her being your sister.”
Emerald looked back at the ground and touched her lips with a hoof. “It was my…. First….” she said with a chock in her throat. I looked at Sapphire’s sleeping, lifeless body and glared for some reason. She snored loudly. I just rolled my eyes and shook my head.
"I see," Solar said, drooping his ears.
"My sister... Was my first kiss..." I could tell Emerald was traumatized. If Sapphire was my first kiss, I'd be flipping tables like it was my job. Emerald's head dropped to the floor and she seemed to be crying. Or at least that's what it sounded like. I walked other to her and stood in front of her.
"It's OK," I said. She just kept crying though, but I couldn't see tears. That's when I noticed She wasn't crying. She was laughing.
"Oh, Celestia," she cried out in laughter, "I had my first kiss with my sister! What a night I had!" I backed away from her and looked up at Kasper, confused. He shrugged at me, unsure of what to make of this. I looked back at her. Then at Solar, who looked up at me. He then looked at Kasper and Flare. They looked at each other and then we all looked at Emerald. She laughed and laughed until she couldn't anymore.
After she stopped, Solar started laughing. They were little snickers, but somehow they made Emerald start up again. Emerald's laughing made Solar laugh harder. Then their laughter made me laugh. All three of us dropped to the floor like idiots. Kasper and Flare joined in and we all laid on the floor laughing. All but Sapphire, who was completely knocked out on Emerald's bed. Soon we all finally stopped laughing. That's the last thing I remember that night.
It was 8:37am when we all woke up in sets of one or two. Sapphire rolled off the bed in the middle of the night. I could tell because she was laying on the floor next to the bed with her ass in the air. Kasper slept next to the window and somehow I was sleeping with Flare. I don't EVEN want to say what happened after I woke up. I'll be scrubbing my mouth out for years without end. I will say that my and him both screamed and woke Kasper and Sapphire.
"Argh... Damn," Sapphire groaned, "I was having the best dream ever." She opened an eye and noticed me and Flare scooting away from each other. I looked her way then looked back Flare. "What just..."
"NOTHING!!" me and Flare exploded at once.
"Shhh..." Kasper hissed as he stood. He pointed to the bed where Emerald laid on top of Solar, snuggled up, both asleep.
