- -Theme Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmGkfWDtv78-
- >You sat in the banquet hall in Canterlot as the party surged around you.
- >Today was the longest day of the year, as well as the Summer Sun Celebration.
- >Celly had done her thing with the sun and the party had gone on all day.
- >Now you sat with more or less your closest friends and family taking it all in.
- >Anon and Rainbow were over talking to Luna.
- >By some miracle, Celly had gotten her parents to attend this year.
- >By an even GREATER miracle, they both seemed to be enjoying themselves. Both Queen Galaxia and King Cosmos were laughing and drinking and talking to other ponies.
- >That may be a reason for it, the booze.
- >You were liquored up and happy after a long day, most everyone here was.
- >Including your buzzed wife next to you.
- >"Heheeeehehe...never knew daddy to be a dancer."
- "Never knew your dad to be anything fun."
- >You turn to her.
- "Does booze just fuck up EVERYONE in your family or only the weirdoes?"
- >Celly lets out a sharp laugh. "And who in my family is a "weirdo"?"
- "Everyone who isn't your mother."
- >She shakes her head. "Asshole."
- "Bitch."
- >"Dick."
- "Cunt."
- >"Idiot."
- "Slut."
- >"Happy anniversary."
- "Cockho-what?"
- >A bit of red shone through her cheeks, you were hoping it was from the drink.
- >"Today was the day when you lost bet, remember? This time then you and I were married."
- >You lean back in your chair as you remember through the buzz.
- "Well...shit."
- >"Mhmmm~." Celly coos.
- >And here you were without a gift.
- >That would not do.
- >You peel yourself off your chair and head out to the floor, smacking the jukebox onto a new tune along the way.
- >The floor clears a bit as the song starts.
- -Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRP6egIEABk-
- >You bob your whole body to the tune and your own buzz.
- "I hope that our few remaining friends give up on trying to save us."
- "I hope we come out with a fail-safe plot to piss off the dumb few that forgave us"
- >You spread your arms and sing to the sky.
- "I hope the fences we mended fall down beneath their own weight."
- "And I hope we hang on past the last exit I hope it's already too late."
- >You take a few steps to the door and point out it.
- "And I hope the book store a few blocks from here someday burns down!"
- "And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away and I never come back to this town again."
- >You walk around the floor looking at the guests.
- "In my life."
- "I hope I lie."
- >You point a finger at Celly.
- "And tell everyone you were a good wife and I hope you die!"
- >You gesture at yourself.
- "I hope we both die."
- >You dance around the floor as the music flows.
- >Your spinning dance comes to a stop as the song continues.
- >You decide to go back to your swaying motion.
- "I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow I hope it bleeds all day long."
- >You raise a finger.
- "Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises."
- >You wag it.
- "We're pretty sure they're all wrong!"
- >You point to Luna with a stein in her hand.
- "I hope it stays dark forever! I hope the worst isn't over!"
- >You turn away from Luna as she grimaces and back to Celly.
- "And I hope you blink before I do and I hope I never get sober!"
- >You jump up on the table.
- "And I hope when you think of me years down the line, you can't find one good thing to say!"
- "And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out you'd stay the hell out of my way!"
- >You spin across the table.
- "I am drowning there is no sign of land."
- >You grab Celly's hoof.
- "You are coming down with me hand in unlovable hand!"
- "And I hope you die!"
- "I hope we both die!"
- >You do a jig to the drunken clapping of the room.
- >As the song winds down, you jump off the table back into your seat.
- >A few hours pass and more drink flows.
- >You and Celly have devoured two courses of food and shown the ballroom that you are the rulers of both the Kingdom and the dance floor.
- >Galaxia and Cosmos had said they were planning to go, but a quick "last round" and a song got them to stay.
- >You were currently sitting feet propped up between a passed out Twilight and a lounging Celly.
- "*Urp!* Happy Anniversary, Celly."
- >"Haaaaaah. And I get a song about how you hope I die for a gift."
- "Just like your birthday, right?"
- >"Guess it's a better gift than when you covered yourself in chocolate..."
- >She leans over and nibbles on your ear a bit.
- >"But not by much~."
- >In your drunken state you can only summon up the energy to wave her away with your hand.
- "So you gonna sing r' what?"
- >Celly cocks an eyebrow.
- >You elbow her.
- "C'moooon! It's my anniversary too!"
- >Celly smiles and rolls her eyes before she rises from her seat.
- >"I may have an idea..." she says as she walks to the dance floor.
- -Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHID8hMgWKc-
- >Celly plays a jaunty tune on the nearby piano with her magic.
- >The guests are used to this from you two now, quickly clearing an area.
- >You knit your fingers and place them behind your head as you sit back and enjoy the soon to be show.
- >"I ache for the touch of your lips, dear."
- >"But much more for the touch of your whips, dear~."
- >She tosses you a wink.
- >"You can raise welts."
- >"Like nobody else."
- >"As we dance to the masochism tango."
- >She dances along on shaky legs as she sings.
- >"Let our love be a flame, not an ember!"
- >"Say it's me that you want to dismember!"
- >"Blacken my eye!
- >"Make my marehood all dry!"
- >"As we dance to the masochism tango!"
- >She prances up to your table as you had done to her.
- >At my command!"
- >"Before you here I stand!"
- >You know this part, you grab a handful of food in preparation.
- >"My heart is in your hand... ecch!
- >She bats the food out of your hand.
- >"It's here that I must be."
- >"My heart entreats!"
- >"Just hear those savage beats."
- >"And go put on your cleats."
- >She flutters her eyelids.
- >"And come and trample me~."
- >"Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany."
- >"That's why I'm in such exquisite agony~."
- >She gyrates her ass as she sings.
- >"My soul is on fire it's aflame with desire!"
- >"Which is why I perspire when we tango..."
- >"You caught my nose in your left castanet, love."
- >"I can feel the pain yet, love."
- >"Ev'ry time I hear drums."
- >"And I envy the rose."
- >"That you held in your teeth, love."
- >"With the thorns underneath, love."
- >"Sticking into your gums."
- >She swings her face directly in front of you.
- >"Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches."
- >"The last time I needed twenty stitches."
- >"To sew up the gash."
- >"That you made with your lash."
- >"As we danced to the masochism tango."
- >She twirls around in her drunken state.
- >"Bash in my brain."
- >"And make me scream with pain."
- >"Then kick me once again and say we'll never part."
- >"I know too well."
- >"I'm underneath your spell, so, darling, if you smell something burning, it's my heart."
- >"Excuse me!"
- >"Take your cigarette from its holder, and burn your initials in my shoulder."
- >She rolls her shoulders at you.
- >"Fracture my spine, and swear that you're mine, as we dance to the masochism tango."
- >The room falls into steady applause as the song ends and Celly trots back to her seat.
- >You can smell the smarminess of her grin as she sat down
- >"How was I?" she asks.
- >You smirk.
- "Terrible."
- >It was late now, the banquet hall was deserted save for the members of your royal family.
- >And all of them were drunk and passed out.
- >Save you and Celly, who was currently helping you do a keg stand.
- >"Go! Go! Go! Go!" she egged.
- >As you down the last of the brew, you tear your mouth away.
- "*Cough cough* Enough! Let me down!"
- >Celly laughs and releases you from her magical grasp.
- >You wipe your mouth and look around the room.
- >You and Celly were the only ones still on your feet.
- "Huh..."
- >"It...seems we can handle our alcohol better than most..."
- >...
- "...POWER COUPLE HIGH FIVE!"
- >"HOOAH!"
- >You and Celly slap hoof against palm.
- "Hehehehehehehe...lightweights.
- >"It seems our lifestyle has finally given us some positives."
- "Apart from your horn-rot tests."
- >Celly snickers at you joke.
- "Guess we better clean these guys up..."
- >"Guess so..." Celly says with a smile.
- -Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShMajikZ8wM-
- >You kick the jukebox and start the swan song of the evening.
- >You and Celly walk away from the keg on either side of the room and go to pick someone up off the tables.
- >Celly lifts a passed out Shining Armor off his back and into a seat.
- >"You're a slob, It's such a bore, your underwear strewn on the floor."
- >You haul Anon up first and foremost.
- "And you're a nympho, most extreme, it's how you founded your regime!"
- >"The toilet's broke, and yet I bet, "His Majesty" ain't fixed it yet!"
- >You situate Rainbow.
- >"You're one to talk, sleepyhead, and get your fat ass out of bed!"
- >You both continued to help the guests.
- >"Oh but in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews. "not until death may we part".
- >You toss an ass slap back her way.
- "So until then I'm stuck with you."
- >Damn...Bluebro was heavy...
- >"You swore that you'd be good to me, but gave me immaturity."
- "Why should I give a tinker's cuss? You're just as bad, babe, what's the fuss?
- >Celly was very careful moving her parents, can't wake Daddy.
- >"Well then, let's propose a truce. What's good for gander is good for goose."
- "Hey now that's different, you tried to bed, my little bro and she he wed!
- >Your family taken care of you both strut towards the center of the room again.
- >"Oh but in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews. "not until death may we part". So until then I'm stuck with you."
- >"Oh but in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews. "not until death may we part".
- >Celly looked you over once with a face of disappointment but a fire in her eyes.
- >"This is my curse, I said "I do." Better or worse I'm stuck with you." Celly says with a roll of her eyes.
- >You both circle each other in the style of some dance they taught you ages back.
- >"You poked my eye, I wore a patch. I should have given you one to match."
- >You spread your arms.
- "Did you forget you got me back? You tried to pierce both of my sacks!"
- >"You plucked my feathers one by one. You looked like you were having fun."
- >"You took advantage of my hands, and tried to use on me your brands!"
- >You continue to circle one another, singing to an empty room save each other.
- >"Oh but in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews. "not until death may we part". So until then I'm stuck with you."
- >"Oh but in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews. "not until death may we part".
- >You both snap close together and you run a finger through Celly's hair.
- >"This is my curse, I said "I do." Lest you die first I'm stuck with you."
- >With her magic, Celly turned down all the lights in the room save the one directly overhead the two of you, leaving a single lit area.
- >Celly is inches away from you now, the booze in you making you no longer care about it.
- >"And as I live out my long life, I remember I'm your wife. And as I great each day anew, I'm just glad that it's with you."
- >You gently cup her face.
- "And as I sit here for all of time, I'm just glad I can call you mine."
- "And even though you make me groan, I'm just glad I won't be alone."
- >"Oh but in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews. "not until death may we part". So until then I'm stuck with you."
- >"Oh but in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews. "not until death may we part". So until then I'm stuck with you."
- >"Oh but in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews. "not until death may we part".
- >Celly nuzzles your hand a bit. "I'm not sad i said, "I do."
- >"I'm just glad I was stuck with you." you both say.
- >You pull her in for the most tender part of your drunken make outs tonight as the song winds down.
- >Once it's finished, the jukebox switches off, leaving you and Celly standing alone together in the single circle of light.
- >Nothing is said for a while as the two of you let the moment sink in.
- >Eventually, you open your eyes and she hers.
- "Know what I'm thinking?"
- >"That there's no way they'd wake up~?"
- "And who needs beds?"
- >You kiss Celly on her nose as she drags the two of you down onto the dance floor.
