>"And just as the manticore showed up, it leaped at me!" Exclaimed a colt sitting next to you.
>You are -slightly old than a filly- Vinyl.
>And this story is really boring.
>"Yeah, we know, Dart. You've told us a gazzilion times," replied your friend across from you.
>"How many times, Vinyl? Gazillion or bazillion by now?" she adds.
>You shrug.
>Way too many though.
>"See, even she's tired of it. Why doesn't any of us actually do anything cool?"
>You stare at the park hill's grass, absently carving curlicues along the ground with your hoof.
>It's a beautiful night out by Pony Angeles standards.
>"Alright then, Charm, why don't you tell us how you got your cutie mark again." Dart irritably comments.
>"Even I'm tired of telling it."
>Your ears had to perk up just to hear her mumble that.
>You huff, glare at her, and open you mouth to retort.
>There's so many good tales to tell.
>They're literally at the tip of your tongue.
>But nothing ever comes out.
>Just then, the fireworks began.
>Charm leans back and plops into the cool grass.
>"Hey! It's time for the sorry excuse of a party!"
>She took the sentiment right out of your mouth.
>It was time for the Grand Galloping Gala... in Canterlot.
>Everypony that wasn't invited, which is like 99.9% of Equestria's population, have their own "galas".
>Pony Angeles' version involves an explosive night filled with parties, clubs, and fireworks.
>You sigh and get on your hooves to head home.
>Charm twists over onto her belly.
>"Hey, where are you going? The show just started!"
>You point in the direction to your parent's' house.
>"O-oh. Okay then, see ya!"
>You give a slight nod, walk a block, and then make a turn that obviously isn't the way to your house.
 
>Eventually you find yourself near one of the more secluded waterfronts.
>It was near your home but more importantly it was close to your favorite club.
>You mainly came here to chill but recently you've come for refuge in order to get your mind of off your parents.
>You notice the nearby pile of stones.
>Plunk.
>The stone hit the water's surface with a lofty tide.
>Plop. Splash. Plunk.
>One by one you hurl more of them into the water, trying to target and time your aim whenever a firework's reflection appears in the liquid.
>Your aim sucks though.
>Defeated, you drop your rump onto the closest fountain and spark up your horn.
>The reflection of your face in the base of the water is accompanied by the white aura of your magic.
>As if on cue with a distant firework, your magic 'pops" and before you is a familiar summon.
>It's a small, semi-transparent sprite surrounded by a faint blue aura similar to your mane's electric color.
>It shakes off some magical residue and cock's it's head at you
 
>The voice of thinking inside of your head come as the voices of others seeing as how you don't know what you sound like.
>"Sup." You say in your mind while scooping up your white furred friend.
>It waves at you and hops between your hooves.
>"So. Another Gala... what do you think. Head to The Eclipse or go home," you 'say'.
>It squints it's eyes, thinking for a minute as you begin to hone in on the thumps coming from the joints down a couple of streets.
>Your focus becomes distracted as you feel your buddy pull at your chest fluff.
>It's pointing in the direction of your house.
>"Yeah, you'd think that..."
>It then jumps out of your hands and floats on the fountain water's surface.
>After circling around your prone body, it starts tapping at your recently acquired cutie mark.
>"Look I know they want me to practice but comon! Don't you hear that musi-"
>A familiar but different voice from the other side of you breaks your train of thought.
>"Uhh.. Watchya doin'?"
>Startled, you jump and lose your balance, falling off the foundation and into the water.
 
>"Hehe, Vinyl I didn't know you where so much of a scaredy cat!" Charm giggles from shortly away.
>Your horn deluminates and the sprite poofs into non-assistance.
>"What type of firecrackers you have going on in there?"
>She trots on over to see a blue firework's reflection in the water.
>"Huh."
>You sheepishly smile. No one's seen you summon before.
>Your facade of a grin melts into a meh upon recalling where you learned to bring that thing into reality.
>Canterlot's school for gifted unicorns. Ugh.
>Charm boops you.
>"What are you doing out here?"
>You nod your head on over to the pile of rocks then magic a stone and plump it into the water.
>As soon as it makes contact, a collective cheer from a huge crowd behind you two catches your attention.
>Giant spotlights light the cloudy sky in the direction of The Eclipse.
>Looks like you know where you're heading.
>You clamp Charm's hoof and drag her along behind you as you rush over to the club.
