Unconventional Magic - 12: Moving On

This chapter is over 11k. You have been warned.
It also mostly focuses on character development, and moving the general story forward. As you'll find out, it sets up some potential future 'events' as well.
(proof-read, not yet completely spell-checked)



>The train ride was only a few hours long, and went rather uneventful
>Twilight eventually slouched down and passed out half-way on your lap
>You just observed the scenery out of your cabin window, all the while thinking about everything that's happened
>Not forgetting about any of the happy times you and Rainbow spent together
>At the same time remembering all the times she was suspicious of you and Twilight, and the two of you slowly falling apart
>How the discovery of your magic ability changed your life, in a great way
>Then again, and again, and again, sometimes in the opposite direction
>The most recent events are what bugged you the most of course
>You knew the moment Celestia spoke to you alone about Eris and Discord, that not everything would be okay in the end
>Sure, you may have saved the country, even the world, but you almost killed a princess, you somehow pissed off another one, and worst of all you lost your marefriend because of the actions you had to take in order to achieve victory
>The only real upside to any of this was the dramatic increase in power and ability you got
>There may be another positive, but you aren't sure how things would work out with Twilight, if you decide to be with her
>Oh who are you kidding, you've always felt something for her, and she obviously loves you, so why bother trying to deny it?
>Even after what you did to her during the crisis, she's closer to you now than she ever was before

>Twilight didn't care what you had to do;
>You took action and it worked, if it weren't for you, Discord and Eris would be in charge of this place for who knows how long
>And she understood that
>Still though, it may take some time getting over Rainbow Dash, so you're not going to rush into anything quite yet
>The fact that her brother is apparently pissed at what you did to his wife doesn't help things either
>In an attempt to shake those thoughts from your mind and move on, something else remains prominent on your list of things to remain worried about;
>Princess Luna
>She has been in conflict with herself ever since Eris was released, and still is now that she's sealed away again
>And if she has a problem with you about all this, then something just isn't adding up
>What the hell could she possibly be upset about?
>Apparently she was well informed about Eris and her past, Celestia wasn't even aware Luna knew anything
>Maybe she knows more than you all think?
>But what? What could cause her to be like this?
>Guess you'll just have to wait and find out
>For now, it's something else you don't want to think about anymore
>After clearing your mind, you zone out for the rest of the trip
>Eventually you feel the train's breaks go down and the horn whistle
>It was early afternoon when the train left Canterlot, and it was getting into the evening now as you arrive back in P0nyville
>You nudge Twilight to wake her up

>"Mmmm... hey Anon.. Oh, sorry for sleeping on you." she says quietly, sitting up and giggling at that last bit
"No worries Twi, I don't mind. It helped keep me calm."
>"Oh, well.. that's good, I guess."
"Come on, let's go."
>You get up from the seat and leave your cabin, Twilight yawning and following behind you
>After walking out onto the station platform, you and Twilight finally stretch your limbs
>"So, I bet you want to go home now, huh?"
"Yeah, I better go see the family and plan on getting back to work..."
>"I probably should too."
"Work... just seems like an odd concept right now... It's been less than a week, but so much has happened.."
>"Yeah... I think getting back to our normal lives is exactly what we need right now though, don't you think?"
"Sounds like it's exactly what I need."
>Twilight smiles, and a moment later you pick her up and give her a hug
>She gasps playfully when you grab her
"Thanks again Twilight, for everything you've done, and for being there for me."
>She waits a few moments before responding
>"Of course Anon, it's what good friends are for right? There's no other place I would have rather been then by your side."
>You break her off from the hug and set her down to the ground
>"You should probably get back to your family. I have to go home and make sure Spike is okay."
"Sounds good. Hey, how about we meet up for lunch tomorrow or something?"
>"Oh, yeah, that'd be great!"

"Awesome, I'll come get ya around noon or something."
>Twilight giggles
>"Kay. See you tomorrow then."
>You wave to her as you walk away, and she waves a hoof in return
>You take your time walking through P0nyville on the way back home, seeing if anything was still out of place, how the resident p0nies were doing
>Everything seemed completely back to normal already, as if nothing had ever happened
>Good. That'll only make things easier for you
>As the sun is setting, you approach Sweet Apple Acres
>Your home
>Barely after you pass through the fence gate into the front yard, you hear a yell from within the house
>A second later, Applejack Kool-Aid Guy's through the front door and gallops toward you
>"Yer back!"
>You simply extend your arms out to the sides and await your destruction
>If only you had a blindfold and cigar right now...
>Applejack dives into your chest and takes you to the ground
>As you wrap your arms around her, she grapples tightly onto you
>"Ahm so glad yer okay Anon! Ah had no idea you were even awake yet!"
"Yeah, it just kinda happened I guess, and since I was already somehow healed, I just decided to come home. It's good to see you too AJ."
>She pulls back and sits up on your stomach
>"Well come on inside, we're just gettin' supper ready an' Ah wanna hear everything!"
"Mmm, some good home cookin' sounds just perfect right now."
>AJ smiles and hops off you, trotting back to the house
>You get up and follow her in

>Not much progress is made before another, smaller figure steps out through the doorway
>"Big brother!" she shouts as she comes racing toward you
>You crouch down and snatch little Applebloom out of the air as she hops to you
>She immediately jumps from your hands and latches onto your head and shoulder in a hug
>"Thank Celestia yer okay!"
"Oh I'm more than okay lil' sis, especially now that I'm back home."
>Her smile widens even more
>Applebloom attempts to crawl onto your shoulder and you help her up
>She turns around and faces forward, extending a hoof outward
>"Come on big bro, that supper aint gonna eat itself!"
>Realizing how much they cared for you really raised your spirits that day
>You never thought having two illegitimate sisters would turn out so well
>But they were the best sisters you could ask for
>Big Mac would be a good brother to have around too, but you two never spoke to each-other very much
>You always got along well enough, he just wasn't much of a talker
>Speaking of which, as AJ trots into the house and you're still en-route with Applebloom on your shoulder, Big Mac steps into the doorway and smiles when he sees you
>"Welcome home, Anon." he says in his deep voice
"Thanks Mac. It's only been a few days, but it's good to be back here now that everything's back to normal."
>He nods and walks back into the house
>Yep. Man of few words

>You walk into the house and close the door behind you, heading straight to the kitchen
>As your taste buds were enjoying the orgasmic apple-flavored everything for dinner that you loved, you told the family the bigger details of what all went down
>There were certain things you left out, like specifically how you brought Lyra and Twilight back, what you did with them and Eris, etc.
>The rest was pretty much there, aside from Rainbow breaking up with you of course
>No need to worry them with any of that drama, they'll find out soon enough anyway
>Eventually, a while after dinner was done and you spent a good portion of the evening visiting with your family, you decide to head up to your room and go to bed
>You went up to your room and kept the door cracked open before taking a seat on the edge of the bed, letting out a sigh
>A few seconds pass and there's a quiet knocking on your door
>The door pushes open a bit and Applejack sticks her head in
>"Mind if Ah come in Anon?"
"Oh, sure AJ. What's up?"
>Applejack steps in and closes the door behind you
"AJ?"
>She walks up close to you then sits down on the floor in front of you
>"Ah can tell somethin's still botherin' ya Anon. And if there's somethin' botherin' you, then it bothers me too."
"Oh, no, I'm fine AJ, really. There's nothing to worry about."
>"Don't you lie to me Anon, Ah know yer not okay, but you can talk to me about anything, okay? Just tell me what's wrong."

>You sigh in defeat
>This mare always knew if you were lying, or if something was wrong, and she wouldn't ever let it rest
"I didn't want to say it yet, but.. Well, Rainbow Dash and I.. we aren't together anymore."
>"Wh-what do ya mean, not together? You two always seemed so happy together! And after all this? That just aint right! What happened?"
"I'll spare you the details, but you're already aware of my powers, and how I get them right?"
>AJ nods
"Well, I, umm.. kinda had to use that in my plan, to get Twilight back, and to take down Eris. Needless to say, Rainbow didn't like it at all."
>"Wha- so... are ya sayin' you had to rut Twilight to set her mind straight?"
"I was out of options. She was more powerful than me, and nothing else I tried worked... But that did. Thankfuly, she understood, and wasn't even the least bit mad at me."
>"Oh, well yer lucky then. But ya just had to do that with her right, nop0ny else?"
"Right. That's why I went for her first, because I knew she could bring you all back."
>"Well, how about after we were all back? Why Eris?"
"Hmm... I don't know to be honest, I think I just saw an opportunity and took it when I had the chance. I figured having her powers would give us better odds in case she prepared for the Elements or something."
>"Mmhmmm. So ya probably didn't need to do that one though huh? Might be why Rainbow weren't so happy with ya then."

"Yeah... I think we'll still be good friends though. She actually acted very mature through the whole thing, it was kinda weird."
>"Rainbow Dash? Mature about somethin' like that? Bahahaha!"
"I know right? She was serious though, and I can't blame her for making that decision, but it still sucks."
>"So what are ya gonna do now then?"
"Get back to my life I guess. Twilight and I seem to be getting pretty close, so maybe something will happen there."
>"Twilight huh? Well, Ah could always tell she had a thing for ya Anon, Ah bet you'll do great together."
"Thanks AJ, I'm sure we would, but I don't wanna think that far ahead quite yet. I just want to get back to work tomorrow and take things easy for a while."
>"Sounds good Anon. Well Ah guess ah'l leave ya alone. Thanks fer talkin' to me, don't forget you can always open up to me if ya want, it's better than keepin' it bottled up inside ya."
"Yeah, I'll keep that in mind... Goodnight AJ."
>"Night Anon."
>Applejack leaves your bedroom and closes your door behind her
>You get up and lock it, then proceed to lie down on your bed
>The conversation had annoyed you a bit, but she was right
>It did help
>Or so you thought
>Sleep wasn't coming easy
>Thoughts of Rainbow Dash kept coming back
>It doesn't take long to start feeling almost as bad as you did when you were in the hospital talking with her
>It may take a while to get over her after all
>As well it should, really

>One memory from earlier in the day comes back to you though
>Something you told Rainbow
>'Don't worry about the past, just look to the future.'
>That was something you needed to do as well
>Nothing would ever be the same, but maybe, just maybe, you could still forge a good life here
>Possibly with Twilight Sparkle by your side
>Maybe... you'll need some more time to figure that one out
-----
>You wake up bright and early the next morning
>Ready to work, you grab some breakfast with the family and get started
>It was going to be a slow day, on purpose
>You wanted to go light on the magic and just take your time
>Somehow you wasted enough time to get finished right around noon, so you went to see Twilight
>Every day for the next week was almost the same routine
>Wake up early and get some work done
>Meet up with Twilight for lunch
>A couple days you went into her basement so she could perform some tests on you, to make sure nothing was out of place after taking Eris's power or anything
>Nothing ever really seemed abnormal, she always just noticed a large buildup of magic within you, which wasn't uncommon for magic users
>Of course you had a lot more because you were much bigger than unicorns, and had more power then any of them anyway
>On those couple of days you spent some extra time with Twilight, mostly just hanging out, doing nothing super special
>It was nice

>You weren't completely ready to move forward again yet, and thankfully Twilight was patient
>One afternoon, about a week after you got back from Canterlot, you and Twilight were going to Sugarcube Corner for lunch
>It was always a good choice anyway because then you could both see Pinkie Pie too
>Today however you saw somep0ny in there talking with Pinkie that you didn't expect to see
>Rainbow Dash
>You and Twilight walk in through the front door, and they both turn to see you
"Rainbow?"
>She just stares at you two for a few seconds then shakes her head
>"Hey guys!"
>Twi:"Hey Rainbow! What are you doing here, I thought the Wonderbolts left already?"
>RD:"Nah, we were just going through some training back in Canterlot for the last week, so they can get me into the routine and all. We're leaving early tomorrow morning and had today off, so I figure why not spend it here?"
>Twi:"Well it's good to have you back for a day. Got any plans?"
>Pinkie suddenly explodes from behind the counter and jumps in-betwen everybody
>PP:"OOH OOH OOH we totally gotta throw a PARTY!"
>RD:"Oh come on Pinkie-"
"Hey now, I think a party is just what we need. To celebrate your success, Rainbow."
>Rainbow looks at you curiously for a moment, then rolls her eyes
>RD:"Fine, whatever, I can't deny a Pinkie party."
>Pinkie screams joyfully and takes off
>You soon find out she's already preparing and inviting everp0ny she can

>Meanwhile, you Rainbow and Twilight have some lunch and just hang out, like you all used to do back before any of this ever happened
>Eventually, Twilight mentions she has some things to take care of at home
>Rainbow says she flew here from Canterlot this morning and could use a little nap before the party
>With that, you decide to head home and tell Applejack and Big Mac about the party
>You're not sure about Mac, but AJ's definitely in
>Of course she wants to see Rainbow, but she says it'll be a good chance to finally drink you under the table
>Ha, yeah right, in your dreams AJ
>Since you figure you might be out kinda late tonight, you decide to take a nap as well
>You wake up a couple hours later and go to check on Pinkie Pie
>You teleport to her, but end up in the large opening in the middle of P0nyville
>The whole town square was already decked-out and ready for a huge celebration
>Banners, colored stage-lights, a giant DJ perch with speakers surrounding the place, a mobile bar, etc.
>Damn this mare sure knew how to setup a party
>A voice from behind you breaks your train of thought
>"Heeeyyy, Anonymous the human!"
>No way
>You turn around to see none other than the most amazing DJ p0ny around, Vinyl Scratch
"Hey Vinyl! So she dragged you into this too huh?"
>"Haha, yeah. Man, that mare is crazy, but I love it! Seems like this it big deal too, so I couldn't pass it up."

"Yeah, with you here this whole town is gonna be up all night." you say with a chuckle
>"Aww yeah, this party is gonna be off the motha-buckin' chain!"
"I hope so, we all need something like this."
>"For sure, for sure. So hey, how are you and Rainbow doin'?"
"Oh, we uhh.. kinda broke up."
>"Whhaaaaat? No way, you're just messin' with me aren't ya?"
"Hmm? No, she broke up with me about a week ago, right after the whole Discord situation was done with."
>"For real? Well what the buck did you do to make her do that!?"
"I dunno, apparently she's not attracted to hero-types or something. I mean I only just saved the goddamn world."
>Vinyl bursts into a fit of laughter, but stops herself after a few seconds
>"Are you tellin' me you stopped Discord?"
"Actually, yes. And his daughter Eris. The Elements backed me up, but if I wasn't here they would have won."
>"Hmm.. So just what went wrong then, seriously?"
"Honestly Vinyl, it's kind of a long story, and I'd rather not get into it. She can tell you if she wants to, but I'm just going to look ahead. We're still friends though, so ya don't have to worry about that at least."
>"Alright, alright, I won't pester ya about it anymore."
"Thanks. So how's the setup coming along here?"
>"Oh right, almost forgot. Yeah there's a lot to get setup here, I should get back to that."
"Ah, alright then. Need any help?"

>"Hmm. Sure, take my goggles and stand in the middle of the town square, where all the speakers are facing."
>Vinyl takes her goggles off and hovers them over to you with magic
"What about your eyes Vinyl?"
>"Eh I'm not worried, I know at least you dig 'em. Besides-"
>She cuts herself off by conjuring some magic
>You're completely stunned by what you witness
>She just turned her eyes from blood-red to emerald-green
"Oh, my... wow, how the hell did you do that!?"
>Vinyl chuckles
>"Magic, my friend. All you need to know." she says, giving you a smug grin
"Well that's some crazy precision. I've picked up quite a lot of power and new tricks along the way but I don't know if I could pull that one off."
>"Yeah, it took a lot of time and practice, but it was worth it. At least this way nop0ny will give me shit about my eyes when I don't wanna wear the goggles."
"Yeah I guess. I still wish you would just stop caring what they all think, but that's just me..."
>"Thanks man, but it's alright."
"So why hand me your goggles anyway?"
>"Oh, I've enchanted them to see sound waves."
"I.. wait, what? Enchanted? See sound waves? You've gotta be kidding."
>"See for yourself. Put 'em on and watch the speakers come alive!"
>Still dumbfounded, you walk to the center of the town square and inspect the goggles
>You have no idea about magic enchantments, or how you could possibly do or check something like that
>Hmm... wouldn't that be a nice ability to have?

>No, no, don't think about that right now
>You gotta check out these goggles
>Upon placing them over your eyes, nothing really seems different yet
>Everything takes on a hint of purple, but otherwise they just seem like an ordinary pair of goggles
>You see Vinyl power on her DJ stand with magic
>"Incoming wubs!" she shouts to you
>Oh boy
>The speakers adjacent to her booth start first
>They begin producing random beats
>Nothing fast or in any kind of rythm, just beats
>Your eyes widen as you stare at the speakers and what's coming out of them
>There were legitimate sound waves eminating from the speakers
>Just colored bursts of magic energy, shooting out in rythm
>Vinyl activates more speakers, and soon every one of them is sending out wubs in sync
>"How's it look?" Vinyl shouts again to you
>You're too mesmerized to respond
>"Helloooo?"
>The sight was just too unreal
>Suddenly you spot Vinyl bring up a microphone
>"Hey, Equestria to Anon!"
>Her voice booms through the speakers, sending new colors and waves of energy from the speakers at you
>It causes you to flinch and finally realize she's trying to talk to you
"Huh- what?"
>"How's it look?"
"Most amazing shit I've ever seen!"
>"Look around at every speaker, tell me if the waves coming out are all in sync. Make sure the colors are the same too."
>You nod and slowly scan around the ring of speakers

>Every speaker is checked multiple times before you turn back to Vinyl and give her a thumb's up
>She cocks her head at you and raises an eyebrow
>You sigh
>P0nies don't have thumbs, they probably don't know what that means
"Perfect!" you shout back to her
>With that, she powers down the equipment
>You conjure up a bit of magic and teleport next to her DJ perch
>Thankfully she was about eye-level with you up there so she wouldn't notice the couple seconds of your glowing erection
"Vinyl, that was insane! How did you learn to do something like this?"
>"I dunno, just years of practice I guess. Music's been my life-long passion, it's what I live for, so it only makes sense that I learn some unique stuff, ya know?"
"Hmm, yeah I guess. So you learned that enchantment on your own?"
>"Pretty much."
"You gotta teach me some of that some time!"
>"Ha, dunno about that one. I only learned enough to enchant those babies, then I stopped dealing with it all together. Enchanting is wicked hard."
"Aww... Oh well, not like I don't have free time, I could probably try to learn on my own some time."
>You were watching Vinyl carefully, searching for any sign of interest from her
>Probably not the best thing to do, but she had some abilities you definitely wouldn't mind adding to your roster
>And sexing up a mare was definitely a better way to learn than taking the time to study books
>Unfortunately she never really seemed to show that kind of interest

>Vinyl was very laid-back, and friendly to you, but that was about as far as it went so far
>Not that it was a problem, you'd love to have a famous DJ p0ny as a friend
>Maybe just hang out with her a bit more and something will come up?
>What would Twilight think though?
>Hmm, maybe considering her thoughts on how you handled her and Eris, she would be okay with it
>Ha, yeah right!
>You laugh at yourself on the inside
>You could only wish Twilight would be that cool
>Vinyl magics her goggles off your head and places them back on hers
>Before her goggles go on, you notice her eyes glance up above and behind you
>"Not hitting on my friend now are ya Anon?"
>You turn to see Rainbow Dash floating behind you, grinning
"Wha- no, just helping her with some sound checks and stuff. What's up?"
>VS:"Yeah bro, besides, I think you'd have to worry more about me hitting on him." Vinyl says, chuckling
>Oh really now?
>RD:"Oh, great, now I'm actually worried."
>You and Vinyl share a laugh
"Oh come on Dashie, I'm just making friends with the best DJ p0ny in all of Equestria."
>Still chuckling, Vinyl responds
>VS:"Yeah, 'Dashie', there's nothin' else goin' on here." she says sarcastically, trying not to laugh more
>Rainbow rolls her eyes
>RD:"Well good, 'cause I'm pretty sure he already has his heart set on another certain unicorn."
>Vinyl cocks an eyebrow at you
"Hey now, Twilight may be crazy for me, but there's nothing there. Yet, anyway."

>VS:"Twilight Sparkle, huh?"
>RD:"You know, I'm kinda surprised, I thought she'd be all over you by now."
"Twilight's actually got a lot better recently. I don't blame you for ever being suspicious Rainbow, she just kept losing her mind during the whole Discord/Eris thing, especially with the thought of Celestia not having faith in her. She was taking it really hard and I just wanted to be there for a friend. That's not how she normally is."
>RD:"Yeah, I know that now. And I'm... sorry, for being suspicious of you two.."
"Well thanks. Either way, it's not like I would get over everything that fast- over you especially."
>RD:"Hmm, yeah you're right. It hasn't been easy for me either.." Rainbow says, looking away
"Look, let's just put this behind us and have fun for the evening alright? We have a clean slate, just a bunch of good friends having a fun time."
>Rainbow turns back to you and smiles
>VS:"Now that's what I'm talkin' about!"
>RD:"Yeah, sounds good to me. So when's everything starting anyway?"
>VS:"Well, seems like a good deal of p0nies are starting to make there way around, so probably not long. I'll get the beats goin' as soon as the moon rises."
>The sun was nearing the horizon, so it wouldn't be long now
>More and more p0nies were making their way into the town square
>The Cakes were bringing all kinds of cakes and pies out from Sugarcube Corner

>Applejack and Big Mac came in with a small cart in-tow, holding various apple-flavored goods along with some Applejack Daniels
>Pinkie was just a blur, going everywhere, doing all the things, making sure everything was okay
>Berry Punch had setup a large table with a few giant punch bowls on it
>You've only had her punch a couple times before, but it was really good
>After instantly getting a craving, you walk over to the table she was setting up
"Hey Berry."
>You somewhat startled her, she flinches and turns to see you
>"Oh, hi Anonymous. How are you doing?"
"Great. Mind if I have some of your punch?"
>A faint hint of light pink forms across her features when you ask, but you think nothing of it
>"Oh, of course, that's what it's here for after all!" she responds, giggling a little nervously
>You fill up a cup and take a drink
>The taste was really sweet, but you liked it that way
>However, as soon you take the drink, you feel a burning through your throat and into your stomach
"Whoa- *cough* Damn, what's in this!?"
>"Dangit, did I use too much? Crap!"
"What- No, no.." you respond, still reacting from the burn "I just wasn't expecting it. Seriously though, what is in this?"
>"Just some, uhh.. Everfree..."
>She put in the Equestrian equivilent to Everclear?
>Holy shit
>You didn't think any alcohol or liquor here was anywhere near as potent as what's back on Earth, but this was pretty strong

>Taking another drink, you anticipate the burn and don't let it effect you
"Hmm... You know, that's tasty. You're gonna get p0nies drunk in a hurry with this stuff."
>You take another drink and Berry lightly blushes again
>Okay, what's the deal here
"Berry, why are you blushing?"
>Her eyes widen and she looks around, obviously embarrased
>"Oh, well.. I guess I'm just glad you like it so much?"
>Uh-huh, sure Berry
>Something was a miss here, but you'll play along for now
"Are you kidding? This is great! Doesn't beat much of what we have back where I come from, but it's still good."
>??:"There you are Anon!"
>Appearing next to you in a poof is Twilight Sparkle
"Hey Twi! I was wondering when you'd come back around."
>Twi:"Yeah sorry, I had to a lot to catch up on. How's everything going so far, it looks like Pinkie's really out-done herself."
"Yeah, she has. I think just about everything is ready, Vinyl's gonna start the music when the moon rises."
>Twi:"Vinyl Scratch? Oh, wonderful."
"What, you don't like her?"
>"Oh, she's alright, I'm just don't like the so-called music she puts out."
"Seriously? How can- ..ugh, I don't beleive you Twi. Here, take a drink of this!"
>She's thrown off by your sudden change of subject, but takes the cup of punch out of your hand with her magic anyway
>"It's just Berry's punch isn't it?"
"Uh, yeah. With a little something extra."
>Twilight gives you a curious look and takes a small drink

>"Mmm.. AAHH! OH it burns, why is it burning!?"
>You can't help but laugh
>Has she never had liquor before?
"Calm down Twi, just a bit of liquor in there."
>"Liquor!? Why?"
"Because spiked punch is always awesome, that's why. You have to admit, it still tastes great, and after a couple drinks you won't even know it's there."
>"But.. doesn't that stuff make p0nies act abnormaly and do things they regret?"
>Wow, Twilight really was innocent
>That probably just earned her some points though, you were going to get her drunk for the first time tonight
"It can if you're not careful with it. Otherwise it lets you let loose and have fun. Just give it a shot, will ya? I'll be here with ya so you have nothing to worry about."
>She eyes the cup, then looks up to you for a moment, before looking back to the cup and taking another big drink
>Oh man, this is good
>Twilight gags on it a bit after she finishes the cup, but takes it down much better
>"Oh, wow.. that is actually pretty good, just.. whoa."
>You chuckle at her
>BP:"Glad you like it Twilight! Feel free to have more, both of you."
"Thanks Berry, I think we'll take a couple more cups for now, don't wanna go too fast though."
>Berry nods, once again blushing just slightly, as you and Twilight each take a cup of punch and walk away
>Something just wasn't right about her, you'll have to get to the bottom of it some time
>As you're walking away Applejack trots up to you and Twilight

>"Hey there you two!"
"Hey AJ."
>"What're ya'll drinkin', punch?"
"Yeah, it's spiked. Here, try some."
>"Pfft, you think some spiked punch is gonna do anything to me? Yer gonna have to step up yer game if ya wanna take me down, Anon!"
>Twi:"What are you talking about Applejack?"
"She thinks she can drink more than me, but she's hopelessly outmatched."
>AJ:"Oh yeah? Take a bottle of some'a this here Applejack Daniels then and let's git started!"
"I've already started AJ." you say, holding up your cup
>AJ:"Ah told ya, no spiked punch can hold up against mah cider!"
"Bah, this punch will knock you off your flank before your cider even gets a buzz going."
>Okay, now Applejack looks mad
"Just take a drink dammit!"
>She angrily snatches the cup from your hand and downs it
>Her eyes widen as it's going down, but she doesn't stop
>AJ:"Whooo doggy, now that there's some strong punch!"
>You smirk at her
"See, what'd I tell ya?"
>AJ:"Alright, you win that one Anon, but that don't mean I can't out-drink ya!"
"Well I guess you better go get some more and find out then huh?"
>She nods with a determined grin on her face and heads for Berry's table
>Twilight looks legitimately concerned
>Twi:"Are you sure this is a good idea Anon?"
"It'll be fine Twi. We've had drinking matches before, just nothing to this scale."
>Twi:"Oh, well in that case.. think I could join?"
>Trying to hold back laughter from that question is excruciatingly difficult

"I dunno Twi, have you ever had alcohol before?"
>Twi:"Well, no, not really."
"Well there ya go. Feel free to drink along with us, but you won't stand a chance. And don't get mad if I have to cut you off early either."
>Twi:"Wha- cut me off? Why would you do that?"
"Drinking too much, especially when you've never drank before, can make you really sick. AJ and I, we're used to it. I'll let you get drunk if you want, for the experience, and... science too, I guess... but there's still going to be a limit."
>Twi:"Alright, fine. I like the science idea though, now I'm anxious to see what it's like being drunk!"
"Oh boy..."
>Twilight giggles at you
"I'm starting to think this was a terrible idea... just take your time, okay?"
>Applejack comes trotting back grabbing the edge of two full cups with her mouth
>She sets one on the ground next to you, then leans her head up and downs the other
>AJ:"Two down." she says enthusiastically
"Slow down AJ, it's not a race, it's who can take more."
>AJ:"Well fine then, since I took yer last cup, have that one an' we'll be even again, right?"
"Sounds about right."
>You snatch the cup off the ground and down the whole thing
>The punch goes down easier each time, and you drop the cup and belch, looking down at AJ and grinning at her
>Twilight finishes the rest of her cup, still recoiling at the burn
>Twi:"Mmm, there, now we're all even, right?"
>You and Applejack just stare at Twilight
>Twi:"Wh-... What?"

>You just nod your head sideways
>AJ:"Yer treadin' dangerous waters here Twilight."
>"Just what are you three doing?"
>You turn to see Rainbow Dash
>AJ:"Oh what, ya wanna piece of me too?"
>RD:"Whoa, what?"
"AJ actually thinks she can out-drink me, so... yeah, that's happening. Again."
>Rainbow chuckles
>RD:"Oh come on, if anyp0ny can out-drink you, it's me, and you know it!"
"Ha! You put up a good fight, but you still don't stand a chance Rainbow."
>RD:"Wanna make a bet? How far along are you anyway?"
"Two cups of Berry's punch, over there."
>RD:"Wha- punch? You're kidding, right?"
"Laugh if you want, that shit'll knock your ass out quick. Go down two cups then you can join us real drinkers."
>AJ and Twilight giggle, and Rainbow scoffs at you
>She takes off toward the punch bowls
>AJ:"She's a fool if she thinks she can stand up against me!"
"I dunno AJ, she can drink more than you think. I've seen her get completely destroyed while we were together, but don't tell her I said that."
>Applejack just waves a hoof dismissively
>You shift your gaze over to Rainbow who's taking her first drink of the punch
>She starts to drink, then suddenly stops and gags for a moment
>You and AJ lose it, just laughing hysterically at her
>Rainbow notices and glares in your direction, before tipping the cup up and drinking the rest
>She sets the cup down, re-fills it, takes a couple beathes then downs it

>Afterward, she shakes her head a bit and flys back over to you
>RD:"I dunno what you're all laughing it, that was nothin'!"
"Nice try Dash, we all saw what happened. Didn't expect it to be that strong did you?"
>RD:"Hmph... no, that's got a heck of a kick to it, but it's really good."
>Twi:"So hey, how about another one, hmm?"
"Easy Twilight, let the first two settle in a bit. It's only just now getting dark, we still got the rest of the night ahead of us."
>Speaking of dark, the princesses had done their nightly duty, and this signals Vinyl to crank on the wubs
>P0nies all around started cheering
>There was a sizable crowd gathering in front of the DJ perch that Vinyl was on, rocking out to her
>Others were dancing together around the town square
>Before the music gets very quick or heavy, Vinyl brings up a microphone
>VS:"Helllooooo P0nyville!"
>P0nies everywhere cheer again
>Vinyl's horn begins to glow and she looks at you
>Before you know it, you hear her voice in your head
><Yo Anon, when I give you the signal, bring Dash up here, kay?>
>You wave at her to signal an okay
>RD:"What did you just wave at her for?"
"Oh nothing, nothing at all. Defintely nothing you need to worry about." you say, failing at holding back a devious grin
>Rainbow looks a little scared
>VS:"Now none of this would be happening tonight if it weren't for one certain resident pegasus, so let's hear it for my personal friend, and P0nyville's own, Rainbow Dash!"

>Ha, perfect!
>You turn and snatch Rainbow in your hands
>"Wh- hey!"
"Sorry Dashie, I lied."
>After grabbing her, you teleport onto the DJ perch
>Making sure your crotch is hidden from view behind the turntables, you hold up Rainbow Dash over the perch and above the crowd
>Just like in The Lion King
>She's too stunned and embarrased to try and escape
>The crowd continues cheering
>VS:"That's right, this here pegasus is going on tour with the Wonderbolts tomorrow, so what better way to send her off than party, am I right!?"
>Crowd goes wild, of course
>VS:"So be sure to send your congrats and well wishes to her, but most of all, have fun!"
>With that she drops the mic and cranks up the beats
>You teleport back to AJ and Twilight, letting go of Rainbow
>Rainbow turns and glares at you
>RD:"Gee Anon, you could have least warned me."
"I barely had warning myself, she told me like 10 seconds before it happened via mind-link."
>RD:"Oh, so THAT's what you waved at her for."
"Yep. Come on it's not so bad, you obviously got a good deal of fans here. Speaking of.."
>As you say that, various p0nies walk over to your group, some calling Rainbow's name
>RD:"Yeah yeah, guess I should tend to my loving fans then." she says sarcastically
>Twilight, Applejack, and you all move away to a more open space, near the bar and punch bowls
>Rainbow loved the recognition, and this is what the party was for anyway, so none of you would keep her from it

>You all happen to notice Rarity and Fluttershy approach her too
>They pull Rainbow out of the crowd for a few minutes and talk to her
>Rarity and Fluttershy give Rainbow a hug before leaving her to her fans and coming over to you
>The three of you already each have another cup of punch
>Rarity spots this and rolls her eyes when she approaches
>R:"Enjoying the party I see?"
>AJ:"You know it!" Applejack responds, taking a drink afterward
>Twi:"Rarity, you have got to try this spiked punch!"
>Twilight floats her cup in front of Rarity
>R:"Spiked?" Rarity asks, taking a sniff of the drink
>R:"My word, whatever is in here!?"
"Just a little kicker." you say, snickering "It's actually really good."
>R:"Hmm, I think I'll pass, thank you very much. I still have much work to do anyway, plus little Sweetiebell to look after. And, you know me, not much the party type."
"Well you're no fun. How about you Fluttershy?"
>FS:"Hmm? Oh, um, no thanks. I just wanted to say goodbye to Rainbow, I don't really, umm.. like parties, either."
"Aww, really? Both of you quitting on us before we barely get started? Sheesh."
>AJ:"Pfft, let 'em leave, they couldn't stand up against us anyway!"
"You're right about that, but if they don't wanna party, then so be it."
>R:"Well, I'll leave you brutes to your silly little games then. Please do youreslves and favor and don't drink too much."
"Don't worry Rarity, I got it under control."

>R:"Glad to hear it. Goodnight everyp0ny." she says, turning and walking away
>You all say your goodbye's to Rarity
>FS:"I guess I'll be leaving too now. Goodnight everyp0ny, and umm.. Anon."
>Fluttershy is so bashful, especially around you, it's just too adorable
>You can't help but scoop her up into a hug, eliciting a quiet 'eep' out of her
"Thanks for at least coming out here. Goodnight Fluttershy."
>She just blushes and smiles while taking flight and heading home
"Well now, where were we. Working on number three, right?"
>Applejack and Twilight nod, then finish what's left of their cups
>You follow suit and do the same
"Hey Twi, mind grabbing us nother round of drinks?"
>Twi:"Oh, sure."
>Twilight begins walking over to the table
>You and Applejack watch as she slightly sumbles around a it, snickering at each-other when she does
>Twilight reaches the table, uses her magic to fill up the three cups, then begins walking back
>She returns and places the cups on the ground in-between you all
"How ya feelin' Twi?" you ask, snickering again along with Applejack
>Twi:"Who, me? Great! Why do you ask?"
"Oh, no reason."
>The three of you take a seat at one of many tables that were brought out, and just start random conversations
>Because, you know, alcohol will do that
>You all take your time on the fourth drink, and eventually grab the fifth round

>Twilight is looking tipsy as fuck at this point, you're surprised she hasn't fallen out of her chair or anything
>You and AJ were doing good, and just couldn't help but chuckle every time Twilight stumbled, or stuttered some words, or just started looking around mindlessly
>Eventually, Pinkie Pie suddenly spawns in a fourth chair next to the table
>PP:"Hi everyp0ny! Why aren't you all partying!?"
"Pinkie, we are, just in our own way."
>PP:"Oh yeah? Well what are you doing then huh?"
>AJ:"The game 'o drink, Pinkie Pie! And Ahm gonna win!"
"In your dreams!"
>Pinkie giggles
>PP:"A drinking game huh? Well don't have too much fun. You should all come out and dance for a while! I mean how can you not dance to music like this!?"
>You and AJ look at each-other and shrug
>Twilight hops out of her chair and tugs on your pants
>Twi:"Come on Anon, let's dance!"
>Oh, great
>God dammit Pinkie Pie
>Applejack just points a hoof and laughs at you
"This aint over!" you loudly whisper to her as Twilight drags you away
>You never really cared much for dancing so you didn't know much
>Twilight didn't seem to know anything about dancing either
>Hell, no p0ny here looked like they knew how to dance very well
>They didn't seem to care though
>And you're feeling good enough by now to not really care either
>The music is fast and heavy, so the so-called 'dancing' was too

>Twilight eventually stood up on her hind-legs and grabbed your hands with her fore-hooves
>She's just doing all kinds of crazy jumping and flailing and shit
>You just do your best to follow along
>It doesn't last more than ten minutes or so before Twilight starts to look a little woozy
>Geez, already?
>You stop and pick her up
>Twi:"Whoa! Anon, what are-- oooh..." she groans before she can finish
"Yeah, I could see that coming. Let's just sit back down for a while, kay?"
>Twi:"Uhh.. sure. More drinks!" she shouts and raises a hoof in the air
>Applejack sees the whole thing and falls backward in her chair, laughing her ass off
>You place Twilight back in her seat and you sit back down in yours
>Applejack gets back up, sets her chair upright, and takes a seat
>AJ:"Good show ya'll put on out there." she says, snickering
"Can it AJ, you heard the lady."
>Applejack cocks an eyebrow at you, then rolls her eyes and hops off her chair
>AJ:"Ya know it's kinda hard for me carry three cups..."
"Fine, just pour them and I'll grab them with magic."
>Applejack trots over to the punch bowls
>Twilight is struggling to remain upright in her chair
>You grab her chair with magic and slide it over right next to yours
>She doesn't notice until she's right next to you, flinching for a moment when she turns and sees you looking down at her
>Twi:"Whoa! Um, hi Anon!" she says playfully
>You just drape an arm around her

"I think this'll be it for you. You're pretty far gone already."
>Twi:"Wha-" *hic* "Ooh, my.. No, Anon, I'm okay, in fact I feel fantastic!"
>You just nod your head sideways and smile at her
>Twi:"Wh-what are you shmiling at?"
"Oh, nothing, just reminded me of a song from back home."
>Twi:"Oh? Wash it about *hic* drinking?"
"No, actually it was about drugs... but anyway, you're starting to slur your words, you're having a hard time keeping your balance, and you're attention span is just fucking gone."
>Twilight pouts at you
"It's okay, you can finish what you have here, just go easy okay?"
>Twi:"Oh alright.."
>Twilight finishes the cup she had on the table and leans against you
>Applejack returns to her seat
>AJ:"Aww, how cute. Now do ya mind gettin' our drinks?"
"Ugh, fine, gosh."
>Looking back at the punch table, you notice the three cups sitting on it, so you conjure up some magic and grab them
>The cups land safely on the table
"Okay, this is number six. And I'm calling it quits for Twilight, because.. well, it's not hard to see."
>Applejack just giggles and nods her head
>AJ:"Good, that just leaves you 'an me!"
>You take another glance back at the punch bowls
>Two of them were empty, and the last was about half-full
>P0nies were loving this stuff
"I wonder if Berry has any more, it's almost gone."
>AJ:"Ah sure hope so, but if not we can just have some cider."

"Yeah, I guess it'll do the job. It is good, we'll just need a lot of it."
>AJ:"Oh, we got plenty."
>You three sit at the table a while longer, taking your time through the sixth round
>Twilight didn't seem interested anymore, she was happy enough just snuggling up against you
"You gonna finish your last cup Twi?"
>Twi:"Hmm? I thought you shaid I was *hic* cut off?" she says quietly, looking up to you
"I said you could finish what's here. Besides, it's not like you 'have' to listen to me ya know."
>Twi:"I know, but I wanna listen.. you're taking care of me, keeping me shafe from thish, right?
"Uhh.. yeah, but I still want you to have fun."
>Twi:"Don't worry Anon, I am.."
"You sure? You look tired to me."
>Twi:"Yeah, I am kinda tired.." she responds quietly
>At this time you notice Berry Punch walking by with an emtpy punch bowl
"Hey, I'll be right back."
>You stand up and intercept Berry, grabbing your cup of punch as you leave the table
"Hey Berry, where ya goin?"
>BP:"Hi Anon. I'm, umm.. going to make some more punch. I left some supplies in the back of Sugarcube Corner so I wouldn't have to go all the way back home if we needed more."
"Oh awesome, Applejack and I were starting to get worried you'd be all out before her little game was finished."
>BP:"Oh don't worry Anon, there's plenty more to be had." she says, giving you a warm smile

"Good." you say, taking a drink of punch from your cup "Because this stuff is amazing. Much more potent that AJ's stuff, and really sweet too."
>Berry blushes again and turns away
>BP:"G-good, I'm glad you enjoy it so m-much! There's definitely more where that came from, just hang tight for a bit!"
>And with that, she's off
>Just what the hell was with that blushing and stuttering of hers though?
>It's just driving you crazy
>And... oh, what the...
>As she's walking away, you can see her tail twitching; rising up a bit at times but flinching back down
>She wasn't...
>Was she?
>You bring a hand across your face and shake your head
>Can't be thinking about something like that, not when you've been drinking!
>You turn and head back to the table, taking a seat next to Twilight
>She smiles at you as soon as you sit down
>Twi:"Heeeeeyyyy Aaanoooon." she says, leaning up against you again
>...wonderful
>Shortly after you sit down, Rainbow Dash makes her way over to you
>RD:"Hey guys, who's winnin' over here?"
"Well, obviously not you. Better catch up!"
>AJ:"Yeah, Anon an' Ah got a good tie goin', step up and make things interestin'!"
>RD:"Sorry, as much as I hate to say it, I'm gonna have to pass. We got a long trip tomorrow and we're leaving super early, so I can't be drinking any more. Gotta be on top of my game!"
>AJ:"Aw come on! Wussin' out already?"

"Chill AJ, it's fine. I'm proud of ya for bein' responsinble like that Dashie. So, wanna chill with us for a bit?"
>RD:"A few minutes maybe, I'm gonna need some sleep tonight."
>Suddenly, the pink blur comes back
>PP:"Hi Dashie how ya' doin'?"
>RD:"Hey Pinkie. This party's been great, thanks a lot"
>PP:"Oh don't thank me silly, thank everyp0ny that came to see you!"
>Rainbow just smiles at her
"How's the party going Pinkie?"
>PP:"Eh, seems to be dying down a bit aside from the p0nies dancing to Vinyl. You should so some magic tricks or something Anon!"
"Magic tricks? Are you mad?"
>PP:"Oh come on I'm sure you got something funny you could do!"
"Hmm... funny huh?"
>Think...
"Well, there is one little gag I could do I suppose, but it's not much."
>Pinkie squees with joy
>You stand up and step over to an adjacent empty table
>After closing your eyes and conjuring some magic, you manage to spawn some glasses of chocolate milk on the table, each with a straw sticking out
"Hmm. Cool. Hopefully this works."
>PP:"Is that chocolate milk? What kinda gag is that?"
"I dunno, how about you test it for me and see if it works?"
>PP:"Okay!" pinkie agrees, giggling
>She walks up to the table and places her mouth around the straw of one of the glasses
>Instead of drinking the milk, she drinks the glass
>The milk remains where it was even after the glass is gone
>Pinkie watches in awe the entire time

>A few moments after she's done, she busts into a fit of laughter
>Twilight giggles at it, Applejack and Rainbow just roll their eyes
>PP:"Thanks Anon, I gotta have more p0nies try this!"
>She zooms off and begins grabbing random p0nies
>You just walk back to your chair
>RD:"Was that Discords power?"
"Yeah. That's the first time I've ever used any of it."
>RD:"Hmm, I guess it was kinda funny."
"See? That's half the reason I wanted it, just to have fun. Like-"
>You turn and see Pinkie next to the table with a couple other p0nies drinking the glasses
"Watch this."
>Conjuring some more magic, you create a pink cotton-candy cloud right behind Pinkie
"Hey Pinkie Pie, look behind you!" you shout to her
>She gives you a confused look, then turns around
>The gasp that follows was so intense it could have created a black hole
>Pinkie pounces on the cloud like a fat kid on a cupcake
>As she devours chunks of it, chocolate milk comes squirting out, causing her to giggle uncontrollably while she's trying to eat it
>Now that's something everybody can laugh at
>When the laughing dies down, Applejack starts looking around
>AJ:"Where's that darn Berry with her punch already?"
"Ugh who knows, it shouldn't take her this long. I'm gonna go check on her."
>You stand from your chair and teleport inside Sugarcube Corner
>There's a couple dim lights in the front, but otherwise is fairly dark and void of life

>You wander around to the back and find the door to the storage room, which was just barely cracked open
>Faint noises are head from within; seems like that's where she is, but why isn't she done yet?
>Curious, you conjure some magic to levitate your way over to the door and gently open it just enough to stick your head in
>The sight and sounds you hear are... well...
>Magnificent, to be honest
>Well... the sounds and one of the sights anyway
>Berry punch was in the middle of the dark storage room, crouching over an empty punch bowl on the ground under her, and she was furiously rubbing a hoof back and forth across her marehood
>The fierce rubbing was causing her to moan joyfully
>You were simply stunned; just hovering there, peaking through the doorway
>Watching her masturbating was actually turning you on
>Now you were debating walking in on her and asking to join
>Before you get a chance to think it through, she begins to orgasm
>As she does, you quickly discover she's quite the squirter
>Her marehood erupts in an explosion of her juices as they spill out and into the empty bowl beneath her
>Funny, it was kind of a light magenta color, similar to her coat
>Berry's orgasm and screams of ecstacy last quite some time, surprisingly filling up almost half the bowl
>Damn, how could she have that much in her?
>That was impressive
>When she's about spent, she collapses to the ground next to the bowl, and sighs as she begins to calm down

>After a few moments, she reaches behind her and grabs a bottle
>Looks like Everfree
>Wait a minute...
>She begins to pour it into the bowl, stirring it with a ladel in the process
>As she's stirring, you hear something you weren't expecting
>"Mmm, yeah, now you can drink fresh." she whispers to herself
>Mother of god
>Was this actually happening?
>Has she been serving that kind of punch this whole time?
>Better yet, does she really taste that damn good?
>Whoa...
>Yeah, this was kinda awkward
>Obviously disturbing, but at the same time, it was...
>Well... kinda kinky
>Wait... that's even more disturbing
>You're better off going back to your friends and leaving this alone for now
>Needless to say, you think you were done with the punch for the night
>On the other hand, that means you would have to let Applejack win
>Well that's no good
>Berry finishes stirring and lets go of the ladel
>She begins to clean herself up a bit
>Well, time to leave
>You'll confront her about this soon, but probably not tonight
>Just think about it, what if you took on that property?
>Mares would be lining up to give you blow-jobs!
>Or maybe just Twilight would be after you all the time, to get a little taste
>Yeah, you were okay with that
>When Berry gets up, you teleport back to the table where Applejack and Twilight were sitting
>You sit down with a conflicted look upon your face
>AJ:"Everything okay Anon? Where's Berry?"

"She's, uhh... just finished mixing the punch..."
>AJ:"Alright! ...What's the matter huh? You look like ya seen a ghost or somethin'."
"Oh, it's nothing..."
>Soon Berry comes back out with her 'fresh' bowl of punch and places it on the table
>Applejack follows her to the table and fills up a couple more cups, then brings them back to your table
>She sets a cup in front of you, and begins drinking hers, slamming it on the table afterward and smirking at you
>AJ:"Mmm, even sweeter than before! Kinda warm though.."
>You just stare at your cup
>Do you really want to?
>As disturbing as it was, you were still at least a little curious
>...Damn, what the hell was wrong with you?
>Eh, fuck it
>You take a small drink
>It sure was warmer, and that didn't help the overall taste
>But it was sweeter too, like AJ said
>You couldn't believe this
>How the hell was it even possible?
>There's so many things wrong with this it made your brain hurt
>But honestly, not much about this world should really surprise you much anymore
>This was a bit different though
>AJ:"What's wrong Anon, don't tell me yer done already?"
>You don't respond, instead looking down at Twilight
>She was leaning up against you again, oblivious to the world around her
"I think I'm gonna take Twilight home."
>AJ:"Aww, givin' up are we?"
"Yeah, yeah. you win Applejack, but this isn't over. One night soon, just you and me, until one of us drops."

>Applejack shows a determined look on her face
>AJ:"You're on!"
>You lean Twilight up against the table, as she can still barely tell what's going on, and you stand up
>Rainbow had been distracted for a few minutes, but turns back to you when you get up
>RD:"Going home huh?"
"Yeah. Twilight's smashed and tired, I don't really wanna leave her out here."
>RD:"Ha, yeah I see that. I'm gonna take off soon too, but I'll keep AJ company for a bit."
"Cool, thanks. Be right back."
>You teleport into Vinyl's DJ booth
>She flinches for a moment, but smiles when she sees you
>"Sup Anon?"
"I'm gonna take Twilight home and call it night. Thanks for showing up and keeping this place alive!"
>"Don't mention it man, it's what I do."
"You gonna be around P0nyville very long?"
>"Hmm, probably be here most of the day tomorrow. Why do ya ask?"
"Just wanted to see if you'd wanna hang out tomorrow or something I guess."
>"Yeah sure, sounds good!"
"Awesome, I'll come find ya some time in the afternoon."
>"Later man!"
>You teleport back to the table
>RD:"You sure you're not hitting on Vinyl?" Rainbow asks, chuckling
"Knock it off Rainbow, just saying goodbye."
>RD:"Yeah, sure."
>As she laughs and rolls her eyes, you snatch her up and into a hug
>RD:"Whoa, what gives!?"
>After just a moment you let her go
"Again, just saying goodbye to a friend. Good luck with everything Dashie."

>You turn and scoop up Twilight from her chair and hold her in your arms up against your chest
>RD:"Yeah, you too Anon. Thanks."
>Twilight lazily looks around, then notices you holding her
>Twi:"Ugh, hey Anon, what'sh up?"
"We're going home Twi."
>Twi:"Oh, okay then."
>RD:"See ya later Twilight." Rainbow says to her, giggling at the state she's in
>Twilight manages to turn her head to face Rainbow
>Twi:"Yeah, goodnight Rainbow, and uh.. *hic* good luck, have fun for us!"
>RD:"You bet I'll have fun!"
"Alright, let's go. Bye Rainbow, see ya in the morning AJ."
>After your goodbyes, you walk away with Twilight
>You didn't see Pinkie Pie anywhere-
>Wait, she was in the DJ booth with Vinyl
>She wasn't there a moment ago...
>Oh well, you'll probably see her tomorrow
>Sure the party wasn't over yet, but you don't think you could drink anymore after what you saw Berry doing
>And Twilight, well...
>She wasn't making a fool of herself or being beligerant, which was good
>You were actually surprised she was so chill the whole time, but she just seemed really tired
>She must have been working a bunch at home today
>This won't be the first party you'll have, you'll get her truly drunk some time
>Twi:"So, you're.. taking me home?" Twilight says quietly, looking up at you as you carry her away
"Yeah, you could say that." you say, grinning at her
>She smiles and nuzzles her head against you, not taking her eyes off your for a moment

>When you leave the town square, you teleport into Twilight's house, next to her bed
>It was small, but... hmm, yeah it was pretty small
>There was something else you didn't think about though
>Spike
>He was sleeping in his own little bed on the floor at the foot of Twilight's bed
>Hmm... yeah that's no good
>Knowing that would be a bit too awkward, you teleport into your own room at home
>Your bed was big enough, and there wasn't anybody else around close enough to bother
>You lie Twilight onto your bed and make sure your bedroom door is shut and locked
>Twilight manages to sit up and look around
>"This isn't.. home.. is this your room Anon?"
"Yep."
>You strip yourself of most of your clothes, spare the boxers, and hop onto your bed
"I kinda had a feeling you wouldn't want to be alone tonight, and your bed is too small, so.."
>Twilight blushes furiously and turns away
>You smirk at her
"I'm surprised, you took the alcohol pretty well. Next time I won't limit you, so you can join me and AJ."
>Twilight turns back and giggles
>"Sounds good, especially if it leads to this."
>Twilight lies back down, snuggling up against you, her face just an inch or two from yours
>"Thank you Anon, this was.. fun.."
"Yeah.."
>"I'm not so tired, you know. We could have a little more fun." she whispers to you, her half-lidded eyes staring into yours
>You grin at her and it gives her the answer she needs

>Immediately, she leans in and gently meets your lips with her own
>You reach an arm around her back and pull her body up next to yours
>You're make-out session probably lasted a couple minutes, you couldn't tell
>Eventually Twilight let off and just rested her face in front of yours, touching your nose with her own
>"So, you're ready to move on then?"
"Yeah, I am. You've been patient enough, and... well, I just can't lie to myself any longer I guess."
>"What do you mean?"
"I guess... I mean, I love you Twilight."
>The most adorably warm smile creeps across her face
>"You.. you mean it?"
>You simply smile and nod your head
>Twilight responds with a quiet squee
>"I didn't think I'd ever hear you say that, but I love you too Anon."
>After that you move in to kiss her again
>Tonight, your relationship was finally solidified
>Being with Twilight this night definitely helped get your mind off of what you witnessed earlier with Berry Punch
>But more importantly, it showed that you had moved on and were prepared to begin a new stage in your life
>Again...

Special thanks for NetherPony for the idea behind Vinyl's goggles. I loved that too much when I was reading DE and think I found a decent way to apply it to this.
Also thanks to whoever originally came up with the idea of Berry Punch being like that, and to the few people who have written something based off it. It was too good for this story for me to pass up.

And for those who care, sorry for not writing a clop scene at the end. I wanted to but I kept hitting a brick wall and it was preventing me from finishing the chapter, so I just decided to end it there.

tl;dr- Yes they had sex. Maybe I'll write the scene later or something, I don't know. Not like I can write clop for shit anyway.
