Fancy Pants doesn’t know what to expect when he receives his invitation to the royal masked ball. As far as he knows, there hasn’t been one for more than a thousand year. He is the most important pony in Canterlot; never shall be said a royal party would be held without his presence.
After all, it shouldn’t be very different from all those parties he has already attended, should it?

Glad to see it on Fimfiction. It was a nice and interesting approach to the whole relationship angle.

I don't think many of us would have acted differently. He suffers the action after all.

Glad you liked it. I understand you didn't feel the need for the second chapter. In a way, I wondered if I should keep it, but I find that Fancy trying to deal with the consequences of the last night was too funny for me to be thrown away.
Moreover, I tend to keep things too subtle to the point where the reader can't really understand what's going on, so the second part was a way for me to break that subtlety, even if it meant to be too obvious for a trained reader.
Anyway, I have another entry I'm reworking at the moment. It should be published in a few days. I hope you'll enjoy it too, even if it's quite different from what we have here.
