Why do I write? Because I can't draw! I write mainly as an outlet, and don't take it too seriously. If you like what I write, awesome! If not, that's cool too.

Princess Luna has a problem. Her elder sister is nowhere to be found, and it's almost time to raise the sun! The clues in her room point to one obvious conclusion, but in her sister's absence, Luna must assume her duties. The night princess can think of but one pony perfect for the task of tracking down her sister: her most faithful student.


(I know some folks have been wanting a Celestia chapter of my fic 'A Pony Walks into a Bar', so think of this as kind of a spiritual successor to that hypothetical chapter.)

"My godness, Celestia, this could take the rust off of iron!"

My goodness (or maybe it was a pun that only looked like a typo)

Celestia turned to Luna and nodded. "Okay, I'll do it. But this is the last time, Celestia!"

Unclear who is speaking here. Celestia nods, but then Luna speaks? If it's Luna, it could be appended onto the previous paragraph, which also had Luna speaking.

Also, vaguely funny. Needs 38% more hyperbole.

I've never actually heard someone hiccup while drunk

In my experience it only happens with high tannic acid ciders. Not even nitrogenated stouts cause it.

Boooo to the down voter !!! Great story.

6949716 ...uh, I do it sometimes :twilightblush:

I am prone to hiccups anyway, but add some booze in there and the likelihood of it happening goes way up.

The griffon behind the bar looked up from the mug he was polishing. He smoked a fat cigar and had tattoos down his arms, stopping at his talons. He seemed like an older gentlegriffon, and also as though he'd seen his fair share of craziness working behind the pine.

"Ah, a fresh face!" he said, switching his cigar from one side of his beak to the other. "Not too many of those in here lately. Name's Frosty Mug."

Well color me surprised he's a griffon. Either we never knew or I'm a scrub that doesn't pay attention to what I read.

Also, got a little lost halfway through after Twilight casted the sobriety spell. Luna just kinda slipped in there but I see now she did teleport in right around that time. If it were a snake it woulda bit me.

6949714 corrected the speaking confusion, thanks for reading!

The Bender? *thinks it over* OHhhhhhh now I get it! Fabulous story and futurama refrence. It was great:twilightsmile::yay::trollestia::moustache:

6950958 No, not a Futurama reference, I think. A bender is a term for an all-out drinking spree usually resulting in one waking up with little to no memory of the past several hours.

Actually a bender can be from any drug. Just take Charlie Sheen for example.

[technically a "run" is the same as being on a "bender". Although bender does usually mean a wild drinking spree, rather than a wild drug spree.]

Remind me of another Celestial Hangover of sorts.

Luna laughed. "Alcoholics? There wasn't a word for what we were. We drank the entire kingdom dry, and then ordered more from far across the ocean. We weren't sober for at least fifty years. In fact, ever wonder why our rivals have yet to even utter a cross word to us?"

"No..." Twilight replied.

"Because we personally threatened every rival ruler with banishment to a dimension of pure torment until the end of time. Or, so we're told."

:rainbowlaugh: And I thought I had seen some mean drunks in my time.

"Information." Twilight replied.
"Very good, one shot of information coming right up."
The unicorn bartender levitated a few different bottles above his head as he poured them into a tumbler.

I really want me some of that.

6950552 actually in the other story he's a unicorn. I actually forgot what he was when I was writing this lol

6950958 Actually, I think Bender's name is a reference to alcohol, not the other way around.

6955873 Okay that threw me for a pretty decent loop cause when I read the whole griffon thing I was like...:rainbowhuh:

So that definitely makes heaps more sense.

Some parts seemed to move a bit fast, but it was a fun read nonetheless. Kudos! :)

is this

Legend had it that it was so exclusive, that you had to hire a talented unicorn to go back in time and make reservations for your party, or there was no chance of getting a table.

a reference to "the restaurant at the end of the universe"

Oh this needs a sequel with all three of them drunk with the rest if the Mane Six looking for them.

6961462 i'll take that as a yes :raritywink:

That ending.
Hypocrite Luna is hypocrite. A really fun self-contained chapter though! :rainbowlaugh:

"Overshot just a bit."

JUST A BIT!?! JUST A BIT!?! YOU ARE ON THE FUCKING MOON HOW IS THAT A BIT?!?!

Always wondered what the Royal Princesses were hiding from their past.
Now I know...
Great work!

Celestia grinned. "Remember the last time we drank together?"
Luna stifled a giggle as well. "Indeed, but the world would be far less interesting without Discord, would it not?."

Sooo, Discord was created out of their joint, drunken stupor ??
