Chapter 11

>You head out and walk for Pinkie's house
>It's not very far
>You wonder how one girl can throw so many parties in the same house
>Half her life must be clean-up
>Despite being pretty obnoxious, she seems to have lots of friends
>Sits at different lunch tables every day
>Might just be because of the parties, though
>You sort of stopped talking to her when she went on about the supernatural while you were going through your edgy atheist phase
>Repress those memories, Twilight
>As you approach the house, you can clearly see that the party's in full swing
>Hell, you can feel it booming in your chest
>You wonder why these never seem to get shut down
>Ugh, fucking parties
>Only been to one, but still
>You awkwardly push your way inside the house
>Tons of people you don't know are talking, laughing, drinking...
>You grab a cup of booze
>Don't want to look too out of place
>Time to go find that corner...
>"EGGHEAD!"
"O-Oh... Hey Rainbow. H-Hey, Anon..."
>Anon chuckles
>"Didn't think you'd show up to another one of these after last time."
"Yeah..."
>"DUDE, I'M GOING TO DO A KEGSTAND SOON. YOU NEED TO WATCH!"
>You nod and take a cool sip from your cup
>Fuck this stuff sucks ass
>"RAINBOW!" a few jocks call out
>"DUDES! EGGHEAD, I'LL CATCH YA LATER!"
"S-Sure..."
>Anon takes a drink from his cup
>"So, we're cool, right? After all the rumor shit or whatever?"
"Y-You didn't start the rumor, so..."
>Anon laughs and scratches the back of his head
>"I mean, not the one with Trixie. I did tell everyone I thought you were a lesbian, though. Which isn't really a rumor, since it turned out to be true, right?"
"O-Oh... Well, I don't... know..."
>"And I guess I am sorry for always calling you Dykelight when I'd talk to people about you, if anyone ever called you that. It was just a joke, you know?"
>You try to hide your face behind your cup
"I... I guess it's... Whatever..."
>"Sick. So, what do you actually, like, do and shit?"
>Anon takes a drink
>Maybe... you should just be yourself
"Um, I like Magic—"
>Anon begins choking, sputtering beer onto the floor
>He almost spills the alcohol in his hand
"A-Are you okay?"
>"S-Sorry. No, you know, that was rude. No, magic can be cool. I've seen that Got Talent show or whatever. Magicians can be cool. What kind of tricks can you do?"
>Anon exhales before drinking again
"N-No, I meant Magic the Gathering. It's a card g—"
>More choking, sputtering, and laughing
>You shrink into yourself
>"Sorry. I'm sorry. That's just a good one, lol. Brad and I joke about that shit all the time. Didn't know you had a sense of humor too, man! Ugh, you know, that reminds me of Rainbow Dash. She plays video games way too much."
>He frowns
"W-What's so bad about video games?"
>Anon just gives you a weird look
>"They're made for kids! I mean, you know, CoD and Madden are sick, but Dash is all into the kiddy shit."
>You take another drink
>Better than talking
>He'll just 'it's just a joke dude' whatever you say to him
>"So, did you watch any of the Iron Man movies?"
>You nod
>Well, at least this is something you sort of know about
"D-Did you read the Superior Iron Man run?"
>"Oh shit, wait, are you being serious about this nerd stuff?"
"A-Aren't the movies nerd stuff?"
>"Not nerd-nerd, man. No offense."
>He scratches at the back his head
>"So, I'm just, like, curious. Are you and Trixie—"
>You frown
>"Hey, I don't mean it like that! I was gonna ask if you're both autistic. Since you both talk weird, or whatever. It's okay if you have autism, you know. I'm just curious, is all, you know?"
"N-No..."
>You look down into your cup
>"Should I not have asked that?"
"I-It's okay..."
>He groans
>"Man, I'm trying to be nice to you because you're Dash's friend, and that fucked up shit that happened to you. You don't have to give me the cold shoulder every time we talk."
"I'm sorry."
>"Whatever. OH BRAD, DUDE!"
>He walks off
>You just meander about the party
>Pacing around, trying not to look too alone
>Why would you come here...
>People chant 'DASH! DASH! DASH!' in the room over
>Probably doing her kegstand
>Whatever
>For all the fucking tries at positivity...
>Talking to people forces you to realize just how fucking awful a human being you are
>Functionally
>You know hardly anyone here
>Hell, you doubt the people here know everyone here!
>And still they can just... talk to each other...
>When you do actually branch out, your life gets flip-turned upside down
>You find a good corner to mope in
>'Drink your sorrows away, Frank...'
>"TWILIGHT!"
>Oh please no
"H-Hi, Pinkie..."
>"I'm so glad you came! You never come! Except for that one time you came and ruined Trixie's mementos given to her by her dead father and got booed out of my house!"
>Why can't you wake up from this
"D-Dash invited me."
>"I know! She's been looking for you!"
>So?
>"Do you like singing?"
"Not re—"
>Pinkie pulls on your arm
>"Let's sing some karaoke!"
"N-No, please! I-I-I'm scared of singing in front of people!"
>Pinkie pulls you into what seems to a large family room
>There's a large plasma screen on the wall
>You hear music and singing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mGBaXPlri8
>Right now, that Lyra girl and some other girl are singing
>You remember talking to her about 4chan once
>So you made sure to avoid her from then on
>Definitely not going near 'President of the Anime Club' chick
>You sigh
>Fucking 'President of the Anime Club' girl doesn't seem to be cringing to death
>Normies can party
>Autists can party
>What are you supposed to be, then?
>As the two finish, Lyra gives a huge bow while the other slides back into the crowd
>"OOH! OOH! ME NEXT! Then you'll go, Twilight!"
"I-I-I don't want too!"
>Pinkie pulls you into line
>She quickly picks her song, and the music begins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCFshtUqM9E
>You need to get out of here!
>Why is there a fucking line!
>Why would they let you fucking budge!
"W-Want to go ahead of me?"
>"Nah, we've all had plenty of turns! You can go!"
"I-I-I don't want too!"
>The fucking music is too loud
>The crowd is too loud
>The meat wall behind you won't part
>Holy shit holy shit holy shit
>You know you used to sing when you were a kid, but...
>Well, getting made fun of once put you off it forever
>No no no no
>You don't want to get up there, and—
>"Now it's your turn!"
>Pinkie pushes you up into the center of the room
"U-U-Uh..."
>"Pick a song Twilight! :D"
>FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
>People are staring at you
>Don't cry, please
>You look dully at the television
>Then at the mic in your hand
>People are starting to murmur
>"Don't worry Twilight! They've got EVERYTHING on there!"
>Fuck fuck fuck
>You hear someone shout in the crowd
>”SING ‘LIKE A VIRGIN’!”
>Laughter
>DARKNESS
>IMPRISONING ME...
>Fuck, you can't sing in front of these people
>They'll just laugh at you
>Just being up here is too much right now
>Pinkie looks to you expectantly
>Think, Twilight...
>There's no way it has everything
>You'll just put in something you KNOW isn't in there
>And then just be
>'uh oh, guess I can't sing!'
>Yeah, just something retarded that won't be in there
>It can only have normie shit on it, right?
>There will be no songs sung from fucking touhou shit
>You remember this touhou song you listened to for like a week straight
>An edgy streak pops up in you every once in a while
>So, you just type in—
>The music starts
>NO
>WHAT WERE YOU THINKING
>THIS IS TOUHOU NORMIE SHIT
>At least they won't be able to underst—
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRvGnq_WpAQ
>You hear a 'Sugoi! I love this song!' off to the side
>Frantically, you look around for an exit
>People everywhere
>You have seconds before the singing starts!
>The eyes of the crowd pound into you and you begin to shake uncontrollably
>Despite how loud the music is, you swear you can hear people laughing behind your back
>Fucking fuck
>You try to salvage this and sing along
>Nothing but stuttering
>Shaking too much
>You're going to fucking cry you fucking pussy
>The sound of your sobs fill your ears loudly
>Shouldn't have held the microphone up to your face
>Parties...
>You're floundering
>Blubbering
>All eyes on you
>Watching as you cry a-rhythmically to a fucking bullet hell song
>You gulp down all of your alcohol, hoping for some decrease of inhibition
>Or a black out
>"NICE, YOU GO TWILIGHT."
>Does she not understand what she's done?
>You're not going to be able to play this off as some fucking Avant Garde performance art piece
>This is your life being ruined before everyone else's eyes
>Fuck fuck fuck f—
>You feel a hand on your shoulder, and hear singing in your ears
>It's...
>It's Lyra
>"Come on!"
>She smiles at you
>You're not sure what to do anymore
>You didn't want to be seen with the President of Autism
>But...
>Going along is probably the least cringe option
>You try to sing with her
>Jesus this song is edgy
>Eventually, you sort of feel things fall in place as you sing
>It doesn't take long for the song to end
>"Don't feel bad, man," Lyra says, patting you on the back
>You hear snickering and laughter from the crowd
>Save for a small group where Lyra was hanging around
>She leads into the throng of animu nerds
>A group of mostly ugly, mostly autistic looking kids
>'Oh man, that song is so good!'
>'I didn't know you liked Touhou!'
>You use your shirt to wipe away your tears
>Of fucking course the spergy autists are like this
>While the normies laugh at you
>You can hear the next song start already
>You take a deep breath
>You're alive
>And normies have no ability to translate short-term memories into long-term memories
>You turn to Lyra
"Th-Thanks..."
>"Hey, it's fine. You looked like you were forced up there. That's no fun."
>You nod
>Reflexively, most of you wants to run away from her
>Lest the autism rub off, but
>Maybe it's not so bad to actually talk to people at a party who don't laugh at everything you say...
>You talk with the group of otaku weirdos
>Still a bit shaken, but you're improving
>"—and it's, like, my FAVORITE anime! Kogami is so kakoi!"
>"Nah, Psycho-Pass is so bad, man. The writers think dropping the name of a philosopher makes what you're saying smart."
"I-I don't know... I thought most of the references made sense with the plot and theme of the show. Kierkegaardian Despair certainly plays a pivotal role..."
>The others give you strange looks
"U-Uh, obviously Utilitarianism was involved, some Hobbes... I didn't think it was as pseudo-intellectual as Death Note—"
>Someone throws their hands up in the air
>"What?! Death Note is perfect! L is my husbando!"
>"Gay. Light is the best. Don't make me paddle you."
>Urgh
>The positive here is that you can barely hear these people over the music
>And MAYBE it's nice to be able to talk to actual humans about this stuff
>Even if some of those humans are literal weeaboos
>Lyra begins talking to you about /x/
>You know literally nothing about the board
>Seems dumb
>"So what boards do you go on again?"
>Yes
>You can totally tell her this without wanting to kill yourself
"U-Uh... Pff, you know, /r9k/, /d/. Ha ha."
>She laughs
"FUCK!"
>You're almost knocked over as someone bounds into you
>"TWILIGHT!"
"P-Pinkie?"
>"Want to sing another song?!"
>She tugs on your arm
"NO!"
>"Why not? Singing is fun, and look, you made some friends because of it!"
>Pinkie you fucking Apex Normie
>You don't fucking know what you put me through
"Look, I don't want to! People will laugh at me!"
>"That's silly! People laugh at me all the time, come on!"
>You rip your arm out of her hand
>She frowns
>"Is something wrong? You're being a REAL party pooper, Twilight!"
>You clench your fist
"Fuck off!"
>"W-What?"
>Pinkie stops with her energetic bouncing and looks at you with worry
"I don't want to sing!"
>"But everybody loves singing! You just—"
"I DON'T! Fuck, Pinkie, didn't you... Didn't you see the people laughing at me? Didn't you see that I DIDN'T want to be up there?"
>Pinkie steps closer to you and takes you by the hand
>You scowl
>"If people are being meanie-weenies, you just have to remember to have fun and laugh, Twilight! You shouldn't care about some silly-billies! Come on, let's go and—"
"No!"
>You try to pull your hand away
"I can't just... 'not care'! It's not just the people here making fun of me... It's the feeling of all the times I've ever put myself out there and been shunned, or beaten, or laughed at... I-I-I just..."
>God, why are you tearing up again
>Fucking crybaby
>"That's silly! You can't let stuff like that stop you from having fun!"
>You flinch as she pinches your cheek
>"Just let Auntie Pinkie Pie lead the way! We can sing a duet together, and it'll be SUPER awesome! And then we can—"
"SHUT UP! What the fuck is wrong with you?!"
>Pinkie seems to almost literally deflate
>Her head droops to the side, bearing a languid frown
>"I-I just wanted you to have fun, Twilight... You always seem so sad... I only wanted to turn that frown upside down."
"THEN STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME! Let me just be alone."
>"Okay... I'll just..."
>Why the fuck is SHE crying?!
>Pinkie falls onto a couch and begins sobbing uncontrollably into a pillow
>You can't really hear her very well over the boom of the music and all the talking
>But you see some people looking at her, then to you...
>Yell-whispering among themselves
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THIS TIME!"
>You just need to fucking get out of here
>Forcefully, you push your way out of the room and try to find a quieter spot to be alone in
>God fucking fuck
>Everyone's either a fucking normie
>Or a retarded autist
>Or are Pinkie, who seems to be some awful case of miscegenation between the two
>It's okay for everyone to laugh at you
>To make fun of you
>Fighting back just makes people whisper about you
>There's no winning
>Parties just aren't for you
>You can't talk to anyone
>And the people you can talk to disgust you
>You want to not hate them
>But the shit that brings...
>It isn't just water off a duck's back
>You grab another drink
>You've never been drunk before
>You hate the taste
>But fuck
>This seems like the time
>"Miss Sparkle?"
>Fucking Christ
"I don't feel like talking, Trixie."
>"Why are you all by yourself?"
>You grunt
"Why are you?"
>Trixie lowers her head
>"Trixie invited a friend, but he did not show up..."
>You sigh
"I'm sorry, Trixie. I'm just mad, is all."
>"Miss Sparkle is mad often."
>What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
>Oh
>Just simmer down, Twilight
"Why do you even talk to me?"
>"What?"
>Trixie frowns
"No, I mean... The anime club kids are here... You have Sunny... What do you need me for?"
>"Trixie cannot talk to Miss Shimmer about many things... And the anime club always talks about icky things..."
>You laugh to yourself
>So you fill the No Man's Land between the two
"Right now, I'm thinking I'm better off just being alone. I don't think you really need me."
>Trixie startles you with a hug
>"Trixie doesn't thing friends are about needing."
>Ugh
>You pat Trixie on the back with your free hand
>"Hey, Egghead!"
>Oh God, Rainbow and Anon
>"Sup lovebirds—FUCK. Fucking domestic abuse, Rainbow. No one here can take a fucking joke..."
>"So dude, what the hell happened between you and Pinkie? People said you were yelling at her and she won't stop crying!"
"Sh-Sh-She w-wanted me to sing karaoke with her, though!"
>Rainbow Dash stares at you, dumbfounded
>Maybe you need to be more clear
"Look, Pinkie Pie wanted me to sing with her, even though I said no!"
>"So you made her cry?"
"I-I-It's not my fault she cries so easily! And she made me cry first!"
>Rainbow gives you an incredulous look
>"Pinkie would never make anyone cry! She wouldn't hurt a fly!"
"I told her I was scared! I... I maybe should've reacted differently, but you don't understand how—how scared I was!"
>Anon rolls his eyes
>"Fucking L O L, man. You chewed someone out because you're afraid of karaoke? You should've seen the way she talked to me when I was just trying to make small talk. I told you she was a fucking bitch, Rainbow."
>Trixie moves between you and Anon
>"Miss Sparkle is no such thing!"
>"Why the hell are you even defending her?"
>Rainbow rubs at her temples
>"GUYS! Look, Twilight, I want to try and understand your side of the story, but it's not making any sense. Pinkie wanted to sing with you so you yelled at her?!"
"I-I-I... You guys don't understand!"
>"Who even told her about the party?"
>"I DID. So shut up, Anon."
>Your eyes already itch from rubbing at them so much
>God you hate parties
"People were laughing at me. I'm... scared of being in front of people... I told her, but she wouldn't stop!"
>Rainbow frowns and nods
>Anon glares at you
>"And why do you always act like you're above everyone? Constant cold shoulder. I'm not dragging you in front of people to sing shit. Come on Rainbow, let's go."
"It's hard for me to talk to people... And y-you're the one who always makes fun of me!"
>"OMG, this again. Maybe it would be easier to talk to people if you weren't such a bitch—"
>Anon stops as Rainbow throws her drink in his face
>"What the FUCK, babe?!"
>"Can you just fucking shut up, for once? You're the one being a bitch."
>Anon looks completely flabbergasted
>He holds his hands over his chest
>"ME? No, it's your fucking autistic friend, and now it's you. ALL I ever do is try to be a nice, fun guy to hang around."
>"You're not a nice guy to Trixie or Miss Sparkle! You always make fun of Trixie and her friends! You're a bully!"
>Even Trixie has more backbone than you
>But...
>Having people on your side
>It's almost overwhelming you right now
>"I don't make fun of ANYONE! I only make fun WITH people! Dykelight over there is the bully."
>You look down at your shoes
>"DUDE, just stop!"
>"Yeah, yeah. Let this fucking purple dyke shit on Pinkie and everyone else, since, you know, I'm the bad guy!"
"I didn't mean to..."
>"Oh whatever. You just think if you make your life enough of a sob story, people will ignore how much of a no-life bitch you are."
>Rainbow clenches her fist
>"What're you gonna do? Hit me?"
>That's exactly what Rainbow does
>You could barely catch her fist moving as it socked Anon in the face
>"WHAT THE FUCK! SHIT!"
>"Now quit being a dick!"
>Anon rubs at his face
>"Babe, I think you need to calm down right now. I think Dykelight's bitchiness is rubbing—"
>There's a loud thwack as another punch connects
>People are filing into the room, gasping, and filming with their phones
>"God damn, Babe! What's wrong with you? Can no one here take a fucking JOKE?"
>Whooping fills the air
>Chants of 'FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!'
>Anon puts down his guard
>"Babe, I don't want to fight you!"
>"Then apologize to my friend!"
>Anon turns to look at you and puts his hand over his heart
>"I'm sorry you're such a bitch—"
>Rainbow punches him in the gut
>"I WAS JOKING. FUCK!"
>"Then stop joking around and just do it!"
>Anon groans
>The crowd is booing
>They want blood
>"Twilight, I'm sorry you can't take a joke—"
>Anon dodges another blow from Rainbow
>"I was being serious that time! I am sorry for her about that! Having no sense of humor must—"
>Another fist lands on his face
>You simply watch from behind Trixie
>Rainbow Dash is a normie, and yet...
>She's getting into a fucking fight for you
>"Rainbow, babe, if you keep hitting me, I'm gonna fight back! I don't want to hurt you!"
>"You won't!"
>Anon shakes his head and throws a jab at Rainbow's face
>She bobs and delivers a cross to his cheek
>Rainbow starts dancing around him like she's fucking Bruce Lee or some shit
>Looking really fucking cocky, Rainbow parks herself in front of you and Trixie
>She motions for him to come at her
>"Babe! I don't want to fight!"
>"Then just apologize!"
>Anon takes a defensive position
>"How about YOU apologize to me? You go to fucking insane lengths for bitches like Dykelight, but when's the last time you took me out? Or how about how you never try to get to know MY friends?"
>"Oh shut up, you're such a bitch."
>'JUST FUCKING FIGHT ALREADY!'
>'STOP BEING SUCH A PUSSY!'
>'JUST DO IT!'
>Anon looks visibly shaken as the crowd boos him
>He snarls, cocks his fist, and runs towards Rainbow
>As he throws the punch, Rainbow weaves slightly to the left
>The punch misses and connects straight into Trixie's face
>You catch her in your arms and the two of you fall over
>"OMG, DUDE, I DIDN'T MEAN THAT."
>At this moment, multiple videos titled "Man Punches Autistic Girl at Party" are uploaded onto the internet
>Trixie holds her face, sobbing into you
>Sometimes you've thought about punching Trixie
>Seeing it happen?
>She never deserved to have that shit happen to her for real
>You hold her in your arms
"What the FUCK, Anon?!"
>"I didn't mean to hurt her, man!"
>Rainbow looks down at Trixie, and then to Anon
>Something goes off in her head
https://youtu.be/9LmYHOZorwc?t=1m3s
>Rainbow goes into a berserk frenzy
>Despite his best attempts, Anon can't defend himself at all
>Blow after blow lands on his face
>Jesus fucking Christ, never make Rainbow Dash angry
>Anon is getting thrown around like a ragdoll
>He's wrestled to the ground, and put into a choke hold
>People around cheer
>"WHAT THE FUCK, DUDE!"
>Anon taps Rainbow on the arm quickly
>"B-Babe, I'm sorry!"
>Rainbow let's off
>Anon collapses onto the floor
>"FUCK! Babe, man, what the fuck."
> He coughs
>"Just tell them you're sorry. Or else."
>'NO JUST FINISH HIM!'
>Anon stands up
>"Trixie, I'm sorry for punching you. Dy—Twilight, ugh, I'm sorry, okay?"
>You frown
>What a bitchass apology
>You pick yourself up from the floor, and help Trixie up as well
"Are you okay?"
>Trixie nods
>Doesn't seem like she'll be bruised too badly
>Just a little ice, probably
>Unlike Anon
>Boy does he look like shit
>Anon looks over to Dash who's staring at him with knives in her eyes
>"Babe... So, I'm sorry... We still good?"
>Rainbow crosses her arms
>"No, I don't think so."
>Anon sighs
>"Guess dykes gotta stick with the pack, huh?"
>Rainbow walks towards him with intent
>Anon puts his hands out in front of him
>"IT WAS JUST A JOKE!"
>It was just the last thing he said before getting knocked out
>Rainbow dusts off her hands to the roaring crowd
>'THAT WAS SO SICK'
>'DUDE FIGHTS LMAO'
>'THAT'S GOIN' ON MY VINE'
>She walks over to you and Trixie
>"Are you guys okay?"
"I am... I'm not sure about Trixie."
>Trixie rubs at her eyes
>"Trixie's face hurts..."
>"God, FUCK Anon. Ugh..."
>Rainbow leads you and Rainbow to the kitchen
"Rainbow... I just want to say thanks. For defending me."
>"No biggie, Egghead. You're my friend, and I know you're not a bitch. You're cool. Bros before hos."
>She rubs at her chin
>"Yeah, bros before hos. That works. I got your back, dude. I don't even remember why were dating in the first place."
>You don't remember why you even liked him in the first place...
>What a fucking douchenozzle
>Rainbow finds some ice for Trixie
>"Trixie thanks you."
>Trixie gives Dash a small smile
>Well, you still have some unfinished business...
"I'm going to... Try and find Pinkie. To apologize."
>Rainbow nods to you
>"I'll take care of Trixie, man."
>Even if it's not your fault...
>You still shouldn't 'be a dick' or whatever
>Pinkie means no harm
>She's just... Pinkie Pie
>You try to look for her where you left her
>Not in the karaoke room
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvq9r6R6QAY
>Ugh, fucking weebs
>This isn't even from the right continent
>Whatever
>You go searching for Pinkie around her house
>Fuck is this place big
>After a quick sweep, she doesn't seem to be on the first floor
"Ugh..."
>Time to head upstairs
>A lot fewer people up here
>Just some guys and girls milling about
>Wonderin' what they're all just standing around for
>Fuck, god damn
>Where in the hell is Pinkie Pie?
>You hear... What seems to be crying on the other side of one of the doors
>Probably Pinkie
>You push open the door
"Hey Pinkie, I—WHAT THE FUCK!".
>"Holy shit, I thought that was locked!"
>That wasn't crying
>That was, you suppose, people imitating that shrieking sound hentai grills make
>You gaze upon the writhing mass
>A hedonistic, spergy orgy-porgy
>Something man should never gaze upon
>Madness this way lies
>So on and so on
>It's a good chunk of the Anime Club, basically
>You just stand there, balking
>"Oh, hey Twilight! Wanna join in? You'd be a total baka not to!"
"N-No thanks."
>Lyra shrugs
>You slide out of the room and close the door
>The blood has drained from your face
>Trixie was right
>Anime Club is certainly an icky thing...
>Okay
>Don't open doors until you know what's going on behind them
>You place your ear on the doors you pass by
>How the fuck can Pinkie's parents be okay with their second floor being used as a sex hotel every night?
>Eventually, you come across a door with what you're CERTAIN is crying this time
>You twist the knob
>Locked
>Time for knocking
"Pinkie?"
>"T-Twilight?"
>You hear the door unlock and watch it as it creaks open
>Pinkie looks like total shit
>Tears streaking down her face
>What you did shouldn't warrant THIS, but whatever
"I came to say sorry."
>Pinkie opens the door further and stands, arms open
>You're not a huge hug practitioner, but
"I'm sorry, Pinkie."
>She sniffs
>"You mean it?"
"You were just... Trying to help. I got scared, is all. I didn't mean to upset you."
>Pinkie seems to regain some of her composure
>"Thanks Twilight. So does this mean you'll sing with me?"
>You pat her on the back
"Absolutely not."
>"Okay!"
>Pinkie seems to have perked up back to normal
>Mission Accomplished, Spark Bug
>Something moves in your peripheral vision
"CROCODILE!"
>You stumble backwards as a large crocodile lurches out of a bathtub
>"Oh, that's just Gummy! He's an alligator."
"W-What the hell is an alligator doing in your bathtub?!"
>Pinkie walks over to the thing and hugs it
>Jesus fucking Christ
>"He's harmless, see?!"
"U-Uh, okay..."
>At least apologizing to her was easy as fuck
>Having your emotions fluctuate between total lows and highs so easily is probably bad
>Probably a condition
>Pinkie bounces out of the bathroom
>"I'll see you later, Twilight!"
"Sure..."
>Her pet alligator slithers out after her
>You watch it pass by the normies
>They don't even fucking care
>Is this what people mean when they say "No Party like a Pinkie Pie Party?"
>Thrumming music, alcohol, alligators, fights
>How can normies do this shit so often that it doesn't terrify them?
>Fuck, whatever
>Just ease into this shit, Twilight
>The good thing is that the worst is over now
>You decide to head downstairs and check on Trixie
>Takes a while to make it through all the people, but you reach the kitchen eventually
>You spot Trixie laughing and talking to that Cheeto Dust guy
>Guess that was her invite, or 'plus 1' or whatever
>She seems happy...
>You can leave the sperg to her own devices, you suppose
>Maybe you'll just chill in a corner for a while
>It doesn't take long to find a spot
>People seem to avoid being the person in the corner
>Looking around you, you can't spot a single person off by themselves
>Right now, that's not making you feel all too bad
>"H-Hey Twilight."
>Fluttershy is looking at you meekly from under her hair
>Why the fucking shy act with you?
>You just decide to avoid eye contact with her
>She takes a place on the wall next to you
>"You know, I really don't see why he likes you. You're not like us."
"Glad you don't think I'm crazy, then."
>She laughs
>"He's going to see that I'm right about you."
>Just don't listen to her
>She bites her lip
>"I can't wait until you make a mistake. He'll see, then."
>God is she fucking crazy
>Deep breath
>She won't do anything to you in public
>Fluttershy turns her body over you, pinning you into the corner
"Personal space?"
>"I bet he'll even let me be the one to get rid of you."
>You gulp
>Something's poking against your midsection
>Turning your eyes downwards, you spot a switchblade in Fluttershy's hand
>She holds you down as you try to move away
>"Are you scared? Of little old me?"
>Fluttershy smiles at you
>You press yourself into the corner as much as you can
>"Fluttershy, darling, I was wondering where you'd gone off to!"
>"Be cool. :)"
>Fluttershy deftly pockets her knife and turns to Rarity
>"H-Hey, Rarity. I was just talking with Twilight."
>You can't stop shaking
>"Twilight, darling, what's wrong?"
"I—"
>"Y-Yeah, what's wrong?"
>FUCK YOU
>God, she's fucking with you
>If you do anything to her...
"N-Nothing... Just a little tipsy, is all."
>"That's why I don't drink, darling! Anyways, Fluttershy, we should go sing! Do you want to come along, Twilight?"
>You shake your head
"N-No thanks."
>"Aw... Th-That's too bad, Twilight... I-I'm scared too, but... I'll try, Rarity."
>"Brilliant! Come, let us get in line!"
>Fluttershy turns to you and waves as she leaves
>You collapse onto the floor, leaning against the corner
"Fuck..."
>The party continues on around you
>That Flutterbitch is masquerading as some little fucking waif
>And she's toying with you
>Is it going to be like this forever?
>She'll just be waiting for Discord to be bored o you
>Just pull it together
>Pull it together
>It takes you a while to stand up again
>Having a knife held on you?
>Not fun
>Never experienced anything like that
>Until now, the danger has been rumored and hypothetical, but
>Fucking Fluttershy
>She can just turn the crazy on and off
>You decide to stay in your corner
>People start filing out of the party
>Slowly at first, but it gets going
>You notice Cheeto Dust and Trixie leave holding hands
>Part of you wants to vomit
>Part of you thinks it's cute
>Gah
>Sunny's rubbing off on you
>"Egghead!"
>You give a relieved sigh
>Good to see a friendly face
>And one you know
"Hey, Rainbow."
>"Come on, dude. Need a drive home?"
>You smile
"Sure."
>You begin walking through Pinkie's labyrinthine house with Rainbow
>Pinkie bounds up to you and hugs you
"H-Hi."
>"I'm so glad you don't hate me!"
"Okay..."
>You spot Rarity and Fluttershy walking up to the three of you
>Your heart stops for a quick bit
>Just act normal
>"Sick, I like it when the gang's together."
>"Well, Applejack isn't here... Busy with commoner's work, I'm sure."
>You laugh
>Fuck Applejack
>"T-Twilight?"
>Your eyes widen
>The others look at you oddly when you don't respond
>Fluttershy mewls
>Fucking sociopath
"Y-Yeah?"
>She rushes up to you—
>FUCK
>—and hugs you, crying
>"I-I... I just wanted to apologize to you... For the nasty things I said..."
>What
>"A-A-And... Oh, I'm such a bad person... I guess I just... I felt like blaming you since I was so confused, and... I didn't really know what was going on that day..."
>WHAT
>She looks up into your eyes, bawling
>"C-Can... Can you ever forgive me?"
>YOU FUCKING BITCH
>The girls look at you with varying degrees of 'doesn't that just tug on the heartstrings ;_;'
>You look down at her and swear you catch her smiling for a brief second
"O-Of course I forgive you..."
>"Oh thank you, Twilight! But I don't know if I can ever forgive myself..."
>The rest of the girls pile in for a group hug
>Fluttershy, you insane cunt
>After a good bit of collective weeping, the hug ends
>Fluttershy wipes her tears, smiling at you
>A smile that probably seems like one of relief to the others
>And one that you know is endorphins flooding the bloodstream of a crazy person who gets off on lying
>The girls say their goodbyes and you head out with Rainbow
>Even she was tearing up
>God damn
>"I'm glad you guys made up, dude. Super sucks having friends on bad terms."
"Yeah..."
>You jump into her car

"Is this even music?"
>"Dude, once you get into it! Fucking kicks ass!"
>You'd rather kill yourself
"Rainbow... Can I ask you a question? About Fluttershy?"
>She frowns
>"I don't know, man. I told you. I don't really like talking about her behind her back like that."
"I'm... Just curious about what exactly happened to her, I guess."
>Rainbow sighs
>Didn't know she could look pensive
>"I don't know, man. She got bullied a lot. Looked all weird and gangly when she was a kid. Had some condition, really weak and sick all the time. Long hospital stays after she got... You know, beat up or whatever. I don't get why people can be such shits..."
>She sighs
>"Glad I dumped Anon's ass."
>You nod
>Don't really give a damn about Fluttershy's history
>You got beat up a lot, and look at you
>Turned out just fine
>Faggot ass pussy kids growing up today don't know what bullying is
>"So, dude... Do you think you could bring me over to do some, uh... drugs? You know, whenever?"
"Um... Maybe..."
>"SICK."
>You're starting to get sick of that word
>She pulls up to your house
"Thanks, Rainbow."
>"It's nothin'. See ya later, Egghead!"
>You walk into your house
>"Twilight! It's two in the morning, where were you? And who was that?"
"I was at Pinkie Pie's... That was Rainbow Dash..."
>Your dad shrugs and shakes his head
>"I worry about you, Twilight."
"Well, I'm going outside now... Isn't that what you wanted?"
>"I'm glad you're having experiences, but... I'm just worried, is all."
"It's okay, Dad."
>He frowns
>"Okay, Twilight. There weren't any dr—"
"No!"
>You head up to your room
>As always, your Faithful Assistant is there
>You give him a nice belly rub
>Aside from Fluttershy pulling a knife on you, and you crying in front of everyone, today was a good day
>It might be a normie thing, but seeing a fight in real life was sort of invigorating
>And having Rainbow Dash and Trixie stand up for you...
>You suppose you have more friends than you thought
>Real friends
>Discounting them because of 'autism' or 'shit taste' wasn't right
>And you're glad Trixie seems to have a budding relationship with another sperg
>Trixie might be in a relationship before you are, but that can only sting so much
>Maybe you shouldn't write off Anime Club so quickly...
>'BAKA~'
>'CHECK OUT MY YAOI WEBCOMIC'
>'DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU'
>You can come back to that one later
>Discounting people because autism or shit taste isn't ALWAYS wrong
>You flop onto your bed
>One more day until the next school week
>Fluttershy could have a message for you from Discord then...
>Just enjoy the weekend, Twilight
>It doesn't take you long to fall asleep
