A Night In
Scootaloo woke, her mouth feeling more akin to a desert than an actual mouth. With an exasperated groan she kicked the covers off her, rolling out of bed. As the chill of the room assaulted her coat, she reached up and yanked one of the blankets off the bed, throwing it around her shoulders and blearily tying it around her neck.
She slowly pushed open her door, freezing and wincing instinctually as the hinges squealed softly, and gazed out into the dark hallway outside her room.
She quietly trotted out into the hallway, determined to make no sound. The bathroom was just three doors down and to the left. Scootaloo sighed and shouldered her way into the bathroom, picking up the stool Twilight had bought for her in front of the sink, and pulled herself up onto it, fumbling with the faucet’s knobs.
After sating her thirst, Scootaloo turned the knobs the other way, shutting off the water flow. She padded back over to the door, slipping through it. She gave off a small grunt of annoyance. She was fully awake at this point. That was gonna make going to sleep even harder to do.
She rubbed her eyes with the side of a hoof, letting out a yawn. She briefly wondered if Twilight or Dash would be up for reading her a bedtime story, before quickly dismissing that idea. She’d already stated she was old enough to not need one, and both Twilight and Rainbow were probably already fast asleep.
She yawned again and then picked up the faint sound of voices. Her ears pivoting toward the noise, she listened in. It was a familiar voice, and it was laughing. It was a laugh that could only belong to Rainbow Dash.
Curious, Scootaloo followed the sound of laughter, soon hearing Twilight’s laugh as well. Scootaloo followed the voices down the hall and to the right, stopping outside the library. Peeking inside she saw a roaring fire in the fireplace, and what looked like two ponies piled over each other on the couch. Scootaloo cautiously approached the side of the couch, seeing Dash laying down on it normally and Twilight draped over her haphazardly.
“There’s no way you can solve a Rubik’s cube without any of the algorithms!” Twilight giggled, pawing at Rainbow’s face.
“Is so!” Rainbow boasted. “And I don’t even know what those are!”
Twilight leaned in close to Rainbow’s face, fur brushing against fur ever so gently as Twilight gave her an unintentional nuzzle. She whispered into Rainbow’s ear.
“Teach me.”
“Hmmmm.” Rainbow tapped her chin thoughtfully. “I’ll do it for a price.”
“Name it.” Twilight breathed.
“Give me a kiss.”
And in the next moment their lips met. All Scootaloo could hear was the sound of quick, slightly labored breaths as the two mares she had come to see as parents silently communicated their love. Scootaloo felt somewhere between giddy and grossed out.
Twilight pulled out of the kiss, panting slightly.
“You’re unfairly good at that, cutie.” Rainbow simpered, giving Twilight a peck on the nose.
“A little more drink and I’ll show you some other talents.” Twilight winked.
Wait, drink?
Like alcohol drinking?!
Are they drunk?!
No! Dear Celestia no! Why would they do this?!
Scootaloo let out an unintentional squeak and froze in place, hoping they hadn’t heard. A moment later she saw Rainbow’s and Twilight’s heads poking over the side of the couch.
“Scoot? What are you doing up? Did you have a bad dream?” Rainbow asked, her eyebrows knitting together in concern.
“Oh no, I, uh…”
They’re good ponies.
They’re good ponies.
Nobody is gonna get hurt.
“I went to get a drink of water and I heard voices.” Scootaloo managed. “Is uh… are you two… are we all gonna be okay?”
There’s nothing to worry about… I’m just being ridiculous. Right?
“Why wouldn’t we b-” Twilight’s eyes fixed on Scootaloo, looking very unfocused. “Oh. Oh honey, are you worried because we’re drinking?”
Scootaloo looked to the side and slowly nodded.
“No need to worry, champ.” Rainbow smiled. “We aren’t gonna do anything stupid or hurt each other.”
“Oh I don’t know…” Twilight purred into Rainbow’s ear. “I might just have to kiss you to death.”
Twilight started nibbling on Rainbow’s ear and Rainbow’s wings shot straight out. Scootaloo couldn’t understand why, she doubted Rainbow could fly like that, especially with Twilight on top of her.
“Ahaheaeahe Twilight, take it down a peg, there’s a foal here!” Rainbow protested, face turning bright pink. Rainbow turned back around to face Scootaloo as Twilight started kissing her way down the side of Rainbow’s face, eventually ending up under her chin and nuzzling it with her cheek. Rainbow’s eyes fluttered as she nuzzled back. “But uh… yeah, kiddo. We aren’t gonna be doing anyTHI-” Rainbow gave off a gasp and a soft eep as Twilight rolled off of Rainbow and landed on her back, worming her way under Rainbow. “...anything except cuddle and flirt.”
Twilight poked her head back over the side of the couch, regarding Scootaloo while upside down. “I understand your reservations dear, but you have to realize not many ponies are actually angry drunks. Rainbow and I are happy drunks!”
“Twi’s also a really cuddly drunk.” Rainbow grinned, kissing a line from the top of Twilight’s muzzle to the tip of her horn. Twilight giggled madly, throwing her forehooves around Rainbow’s neck and pulling her in close.
“Can you blame me? Look at yourself! You’re amazing and adorable and awesome! I just want to hug and snuggle and love you forever!” Twilight kissed Rainbow’s cheek before slyly grinning. “Isn’t that right, Pookie?”
Rainbow’s face broke out into a furious blush. “I asked you not to call me that around anybody else!”
Twilight giggled. “Don’t lie. You love it when I call you that. Don’t you, Pookie?”
Rainbow averted her gaze. “...maybe.”
“Scootaloo.” Twilight rested the back of her neck on the couch arm again, looking at Scootaloo upside-down again, but this time with a much more serious expression. “I don’t know how to assuage your fears, but if you’re concerned about us hurting each other or you, you can stay here or with Spike. Remember Spike is just down the hall, and you know your big brother is always gonna keep you safe. Drunk or not, neither of us are messing with a fire breathing dragon.”
I mean… she’s right. And from my experiences, drunk ponies are usually really uncoordinated so I could beat them to Spike’s room.
Plus, they’re Twilight and Rainbow. I… I know they’re not going to get violent… but…
“If I um… stay here, it won’t ruin your night?” Scootaloo shivered subconsciously.
“Don’t be ridiculous.” Rainbow laughed. “No matter how hard this crazy purple mare and I want to snuggle, you’re always gonna be our number one priority. We knew that when we adopted you and I know neither of us have regretted that decision. If it makes you feel better, go ahead and make yourself comfortable by the fire. Just don’t be surprised when your mom and I start making out.”
“What an idea~” Twilight cooed, pushing her lips against Rainbow’s with a soft moan. Her forehooves moved from the back of Rainbow’s neck to the back of her head and halfway down her back.
Ew.
Scootaloo padded over to the area between the couch and the fire, picking up one of the discarded cushions from the couch and using it as a pillow. She untied the blanket from around her neck and got to work tucking herself in, facing the fire and closing her eyes.
Scootaloo didn’t know how long it was. Might have been a matter of minutes, might have been an hour, she might have even fallen asleep and woken back up; but from behind her sleepy brain picked up the sound of a body hitting the floor behind her.
She instantly sprang to her hooves, fully awake.
Oh nononononono something happened. One got violent and one got hurt. Oh Celestia I need to find help. Spike! I just need to find Spike!
Scootaloo whipped her head around, adrenaline pumping hard in her veins, to see the damage. Instead of seeing one pony standing over the other, she spotted Twilight and Rainbow both half on the couch and half on the floor. Rainbow was above Twilight, pulling her into a hug as she peppered Twilight’s face with kisses. Twilight was laughing hysterically, stopping momentarily to catch her breath.
They… They’re not… hurting each other. But I always thought alcohol made you aggressive. Are they really… okay? Nobody is in danger?
It’s kinda like what Doctor Kind Mind said. Maybe I’ve been looking at the world through tinted glasses and… and these two are gonna show me that some things… some ideas I’ve been holding onto are just… not something I have to worry about anymore.
Maybe I am safe now…
With that thought in mind, Scootaloo tucked herself back in, and let the dulcet sounds of the two best ponies she knew lure her to sleep with a sweet smile on her face.

Aww, such a sweet, fluffy chapter
Aw... this was sweet.
I love this chapter, PERFECTION
10326140
10326137
10326124
Glad you all enjoyed it!
10326162
I did indeed! I can't wait to see what happens next
Daw! That was adorable!
Oh and I spotted this:
Dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
10326415
10326380
Thanks for pointing that little error out, I'll fix it.
What? She's stealing blankets from best pony? Such a naughty filly.
10327395
Some typos I honestly don't understand how I make. Thanks.
10331259
Hmmmm... Paragon or Renegade Jack? I personally prefer Paragon, but that's just because I find it hard to not make Paragon decisions
10331290
Paragon. And same. I started a full renegade “kill everyone” playthrough a while ago and it hurt. Only one that survived ME2 was Zaeed.
10331558
I'm surprised you even got him to survive. If you were trying to kill everyone, it meant no loyalty missions and full on rush to the base... I'd assume everybody would die. How'd you manage just Zaeed surviving?
Bah, it's not important. I've got some chapters to read!
10331654
I only did his loyalty mission and took him with me to fight the final boss
10331752
Thus is the life of a main character in a story... tis a tragic life indeed
10331763
Yeah this was an experience for everyone involved. I'm glad you think it all worked out in character though.
And Dash really doesn't want to hate AJ. They always had a good friendship and chemistry, but there's only so far you can stretch in her position. Forgiveness won't come easy, but in time it will come.
10331783
I'm glad you enjoyed! And yeah, aside from the fact that... well I don't write that kind of stuff, the relationship for them is gonna be purely romantic. I will make a ton of sex jokes, but I'm not gonna have them doing it.
I'm glad you're enjoying so far!
Spicy!
This was just a sweet chapter. Completely wholesome and adorable! I didn't start laughing like mad man this time... but I did have this perpetual 'eeeeeeeeeeeeee!' Sound inside of my head, mixed with some 'squees' and a healthy amount of d'awwwws'
It was just so adorable!
And the Pookie... OH MY GOODNESS THE POOKIE!
Came completely out of left field in ALL the right ways!
Though a small part of my mind is incredibly curious... which one is into chains and leathers? The obvious answer is Rainbow... but I dunno.
Regardless, that's not the point of this story. Hit some really good points in the chapter, besides the obvious adorableness that is each and every interaction between Rainbow and Twilight.
Scoots is still cagey about alcohol. Completely understandable. It's an obvious thing that she can blame a lot of stuff on. I'm glad she's starting to come out of her she'll though. It's a vital part of growing up, acknowledging that what one perceives might not neccesarily be the way the whole world works. We just witnessed the first step into the scary world that is maturity with Scoots here... this is a momentous occasion. I'm glad we got to experience it from her point of view.
Also, drunk Twilight is best Twilight. 10 out of 10, would read again. And now I've caught up! Hopefully my next comment will be relatively soon after you finish the next chapter. I do enjoy trying to keep up with you in this story, and hope my comments have proven useful! If not useful, then at the very least I hope they're entertaining. Regardless, I eagerly await the next chapter. Onward we go!

I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I had a blast writing this chapter. I love the idea that for how proper and well thought out Twilight acts when sober, she's spontaneous, cuddly, and forward as hell when drunk. It is adorable and my headcanon.
For the chains and leather thing, the joke last chapter was that they're both into it.
I don't even know where I got pookie from. I was just thinking "you know what would be adorable? Pet nicknames for each other." and then randomly thought of that one. But Twi didn't get one because
I'm super uncreativeI feel Twi making one and not Dash would be more fitting.Yeah, I like making Scoots mature. She's getting professional help and is in a completely new environment. She has room to grow.
I do enjoy your comments, they let me know what I did right and I always love the ethusiasm. They are also entertaining as well.
I'm gonna work on the next chapter today after work, but I won't promise it'll be out today.
10331831
BOTH of them?
Oh my... I love it.
I'm glad my feedback is appreciated. As long as you keep writing, I'll keep reading and posting my thoughts. But right now... I need to clear Tali's name of treason. Keelah Se'lai and forward we go!
