A Sophisticated Halloween

>Halloween at Equestria High.

>Be Sophie.

>It's only been a couple months since you came to this school, yet you have seem to made some friends.

>You didn't think you were going to, but hanging out with Group B has changed that.

>You wonder why they call themselves Group B.

>Oh well, you don't really want to pick at that subject to much anyway.

>It's Halloween, and you figured you could hand out candy this year.

>You've never done it before.

>You've never even trick or treated before.

>No one in the mountains would do that.

>They would just get candy.

>Well, not this year.

>This year you get to give candy to all the girls and boys of your neighborhood.

>You get to do it in your witch costume too, so it's festive.

>One thing about it that kind of irks you is that the skirt on the box art for the costume was longer, this skirt is a bit smaller.

>It shows a lot of legs.

>It's a good thing it comes with stockings, or else you would be a little embarrassed.

>Oh, here come some kids.

>"Trick or treat!" they all say in unison.

Oh my, what do we have here? A ghost, a frankenstein and a fairy! Well i better give you all some treats!

>You give them all some candy bars and some hard candy.

>"Thank you!" they say in unison again.

>You wish you got to do that growing up.

*Vrrrrm*

>Oh, your phone?

>You take it from the skirt pocket, seeing you have received a message from Vinyl.

>it reads "hay grl, thrz a sweet prty at my house! Come ovr! It'll b gr8!"

>After deciphering what she texted to you, you text back a reply about how you are handing out candy.

>You get a reply saying "Wut? Stp doin' tht. Come ooooooooon! Norman's here. ~ <3"

>N-norman?

>As in, your crush Norman?

>...

>Well, i mean, i could have my mom do this.

>But she's dressed really provocatively, the children would be scarred for life.

>But Norman is at the party...

>Well, i guess those kids are going to have to go to seek treatment tonight, because i'm going to the party.

>You walk inside your house and see your mother fussing with her costume.

Hay mom, can you take the candy shift for me? I got invited to a party.

>"A party? Sure, i wouldn't mind taking the privilege." she says smiling evilly.

>Those poor kids...

Thanks mom. Make sure not to embarrass any of them.

>"Mmhmm, yeah, sure dear." she says checking herself in the mirror doing poses.

>You begin to walk over to Vinyl's house.

>You're glad she is only a block away, these boots are not the best thing for long distance traveling.

>When you see her house in the corner of your eye, you can hear the beats from the songs she is playing.

>You wonder how her neighbors deal with it.

>You get up to the front door and knock as hard as you can so you know that someone hears it.

>Within seconds, Vinyl opens the door.

>She seems to be dressed up as a comic book character you've seen before.

>"Behold, OPTIC BLAST!" she says pressing a button on her visor, which shoots a red light at your shirt.

Wow, your costume looks great.

>"Yeah, if you haven't noticed, i'm going as a gender swapped cyclops from x-men. You're going as a sexy witch i see." she says lowering her visor.

N-no i'm not. Just a normal witch. I swear the box art had a longer skirt!

>She laughs.

>"It's all good Sophie. Come on in. We just dared Bonbon to kiss Snails." she snickers.

That's so mean.

>Yet so glorious.

>She kind of deserves it too for tearing your favorite bear.

>You swear she did it on purpose.

>You follow Vinyl into the main room to see a whole lot of people.

>"We got the dance room in here, the kitchen has loads of food and drinks, upstairs we have games, and out back is just a chill zone." she says pointing at all the places she mentioned.

So where is everyone?

>"Well, like i said, we're trying to get Bonbon to kiss Snails. Lyra and Roseluck are back outside egging her on. Zecora and Tavi are probably in the kitchen." she says shrugging.

>You feel like going into the kitchen, you are a little thirsty.

>Vinyl goes back to the corner of the main room to DJ.

>You enter the kitchen to see Zecora, Octavia, and a whole bunch of other people just mingling.

>"Oh my, could that be Sophie? You've come as a witch it seems to me." says zecora.

Yes, i'm a witch. What are you?

>"I am a mystic shaman, for this party of course. I can make powerful spells with magical force!" she giggles.

And what are you Octavia?

>"I am dressed as music itself. You can see with all of the notes i have around me." she says pointing to all of them.

>She must have worked very hard on that costume.

>Zecora offers you a drink and you take it.

>"We didn't think you were going to make it Sophie. What made you come here?" asks Octavia.

>"Is it not obvious? She came here for her crush. When she sees him though, she will stand frozen and blush." giggles Zecora.

>Octavia looks at you with a face that almost shouts "are you serious?"

>"I can't believe you have a crush on that idiotic boy." she says turning her head.

I don't understand why you have such a disliking for him.

>"He called my cello a giant violin, why wouldn't i dislike him?" she humphs.

>You shake your head.

>You'd like to tell her how stupid of a reason that is for disliking someone, but you won't because you know how stubborn she is.

>You begin to chat with Zecora and Octaivia for awhile until Vinyl comes out of nowhere and grabs all of you and pulls you outside.

What's going on Vinyl?

>"This better be important enough to make up for how you stretched out my costume." sulks Octavia.

>"SHE'S GONNA DO IT. SHE'S GONNA KISS SNAILS!" says Vinyl shaking her fists with a huge smile on her face.

>You all look beyond the pool to see Bonbon moving real close to Snails.

>She takes him by the shoulders and plants one on him.

>She immediately spits and begins to rub her lips with her arm as to get his germs off her.

>"SHE FRIGGIN DID IT!" jumps Vinyl.

>"Poor Snails, he would be confused for a long time, never knowing the details." says Zecora with sincere smile.

>Bonbon, Roseluck, and Lyra come running up to you all.

>"UGH! I'm going to be washing my mouth out all night!" she says still wiping her lips.

>"Wooooooow, i can't believe you actually did  that!" says Lyra laughing.

>Roseluck pats Bonbon on the back.

>"Oh hay Sophie, great to see you here." says lyra.

>She's dressed up as a centaur.

>She notices you looking.

>"Cool right? I got one of my friends in the science club to come up with this costume. Whenever i move my left leg, the back right leg moves. Opposite goes for the right. It looks really cool when i walk!" she says making herself look like she's trotting.

It is a spectacle to look at. What are you two dressed as?

>"Well, i'm dressed up as the Femme Fatale. Shes a feminist villain, but i believe that every feminist should be portrayed as a hero, so i am wearing this as a-"

>You begin to tune out Bonbon.

>She's always ranting on about feminist stuff, and even trying to convert the group sometimes.

>"Male heroes are nothing more than a portrayal of misogynistic power fantasies." she say crossing her arms.

>"What? You're stupid Bonbon. What about all the gay superheros?" asks Vinyl.

>This question stumps Bonbon.

>"That's what i thought. Anyway, lets all just get back to having a good time at the party, alright?"

>Vinyl smiles and skips back into the main room.

>Since everyone follows her, you think you might as well do the same.

>You've never really been to a party like this, so you don't really know what to do exactly besides mingle.

>"Oh yeah, Sophie, your boy is up stairs. Have fun!" winks Vinyl.

>Alright Sophie, you came here to have fun, and to see Norman.

>Let's just go up there, talk to him a bit, get him to understand you better, and hopefully spark a relationship.

>You hesitantly head upstairs.

>When you finally take the last step, you can see a whole bunch of people crowded around each other, either playing a game, or just chatting up a storm.

>You look around until you see him, or who you at least think is him.

>He seems to really be in the spirit of Halloween.

>He's dressed up as a creepy scarecrow.

>He even switched out his beanie for a hat to match his getup.

>You begin to walk over to him

U-um, excuse me.

>He looks to you.

>"Oh hay, Sophie right? What's up?" he asks smiling.

Oh, well, i'm new and don't have that many people to mingle with. Do you think that we could-

>"Sure. I don't mind making new friends at all. The more the merrier." he says pouring two cups of punch.

>He hands you one.

Thank you very much.

>This is starting off nicely.

>"So, i'm guessing Vinyl invited you?"

More like pleaded really.

>Though you came here the second she said Norman was here, so you can't really joke around about that.

>"Haha, yeah. I wasn't really planning on showing up really."

Oh?

>That's kind of disheartening to hear.

>"Yeah, i only came because... nah i shouldn't say, i'll sound really shallow."

What is it?

>"I uh... only came here because i heard my crush was going to be here." he says scratching his neck.

>You begin to blush hard.

I-i... came for the same reason...

>"Oh man, we're quite the pair huh?"

Wh-wha-

>"I mean, i thought i'd be the only person to do that kind of thing."

O-oh, yeah. hahah.

>Calm down Sophie, you two have just started to get to know each other.

>This conversation is only supposed to START the relationship.

>Relationships always start off small.

>"YO, IT'S SPIN THE BOTTLE TIME."

>You and Norman look to see who is in the group.

>Norman starts walking toward it.

>Oh my, is he going to participate in that?

>...

>I at least have to try.

>You follow him into the circle.

>You sit down on the opposite end of him.

>"Oh, Sophie, you are participating in this as well?" asks Rarity.

Y-yes.

>"I always think this game is good fun." she giggles.

>You realize that Rarity is Norman's crush.

>It makes you a little jealous.

>You've honestly been trying to get Norman to notice you, but it seems as though he's only had eyes for her.

>At least tonight you got him to actually talk to you.

>"Okie dokie loki, lets get this show on the road! Let's see who spins first!" says one of Norman's friends as she spins the bottle.

>You cross your fingers and hope it lands on you.

>The bottle spins really fast, but soon the friction becomes too much for it.

>It slows down...

>Just enough...

>TO LAND ON YOU!

YES!

>Oh my, did i say that out loud?

>Everyone giggles, even Norman.

>Oh gosh, i better just go ahead and spin it.

>You give your wrist a good flick, and the bottle does a lot of spins.

>Maybe you shouldn't have spun it so hard, i mean, this isn't extreme frisbee.

>After a long spin, it finally slows down.

>Everyone looks really nervous.

>You the most probably.

>It finally stops...

>On Norman...

>...

>I can't move.

>"Well okay then. Rules are rules. Sorry i have to take a kiss from you Sophie, you're probably in here for your crush." says Norman as he leans in.

Y-yeah.

>"Remember Norman, 3 second kisses." says his Pink friend.

>Norman waves her off and puts his lips on yours.

>You close your eyes.

>It feels great having your crush do this.

>You never knew you would be able to do something like this so quickly.

>This is what they call first base right?

>His lips feel great on yours, like they were meant to be there.

>Norman parts lips from you.

>You feel a little happy, a little sad, and most of all flushed.

>"Nice lip gloss by the way. I love sprite."

>THANK YOU SPRITE FLAVORED LIP GLOSS.

>"YO GUYS, COME DOWN STAIRS, THERE'S A FIGHT. NIGGAS GETTING KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT" says some fellow.

>A brawl at a party?

>You've never heard of such a thing.

>Everyone in the group rushes to the stairs.

>"Jesus, at a party? Must have been over something dumb." says Norman getting up.

>He offers you a hand.

>You take his hand hesitantly and he lifts you up easily.

>"Might as well see what all the fuss is about." says Norman.

>You follow him to the stairs.

>Once you get there and look downwards, you see two boys fighting.

>One is small and thin, the other is tall and butch.

>"Oh fuck, that's Adam. ADAM, USE THE SHOCK GLOVES!" yells Norman.

>This fellow, Adam, looks upwards.

>"Oh yeah... man i'm dumb." he says reaching into his pockets.

>He pulls out two gloves that seem to have wires and metal on the knuckles.

>He punches the butch looking fellow, and with a zap, sends him into a spasm.

>"There you go Adam! Never feel afraid to use cheap moves in a fight, the other dude would have done the same." says Norman giving a thumbs up.

>Adam heads upstairs.

>"Thanks for reminding me man, if you hadn't, i would have been pounded into mush.o" says Adam patting Norman on the back.

>"What was that all about anyway?"

>"Oh, he hit on Rainbow. Se told him i was her date here, and he wanted to fight me." he says shrugging.

>"What a dick."

>"Yeah. So who's this? Your date?"

O-o-oh n-no, me and him aren't dating.

>"Huh. That's weird, Norman said you looked cu-"

>"Shut it Adam. Lets go down stairs and kick that dumbass out of here."

>"Alright." says adam straightening his glasses.

>Norman looks at you and then looks away.

>"I-i'm uh... gonna go help Adam out real quick, when i get back, do you still want to hang?"

Yes! Definatly!

>Oh gosh, that must have sounded very desperate.

>"Great. See you in a minute then." he says helping his friend out.

>You stand there with your hands on your cheeks, sighing contently.

>"Look who got to kiss her crush." says Vinyl bumping you with her hip.

I'm glad that lady luck was on my side. I don't know what i would have done if i had seen Rarity kiss him.

>"You're just lucky it didn't land on Big Mac."

Why is that?

>"Well, let's just say that he might play for the other team... catch my drift?"

Ohhh.... OHHHH!

>That would have been really bad if he had gotten to spin it on Norman.

>You and Vinyl head downstairs.

Sop, did you take a break from DJ'ing?

>"Yeah, i'm letting a newbie at it. He's pretty good actually. He's a freshman too."

Who is it?

>"Featherweight."

>You turn to see a really scrawny kid working the panel.

>You actually like what he's doing with the music.

>You only came here for Norman, but this party isn't actually all that bad.

>Maybe it's just that you got to kiss Norman...

>Oh it was a good kiss too.

>"Excuse me Sophie, but have you seen Lyra? She said she was going to do something stupid." asks a scared looking Bonbon.

No i haven't, what is she going to do?

>"She put a onahole in the back of her centaur suit!"

A what?

>"A fleshlight!"

What?

>"SHE PUT A MALE MASTRUBATION TOY IN HER SUIT WHERE A HORSES VAGINA WOULD BE!" she screams at the top of her lungs.

>Music stops for a second.

>Bonbon looks at the DJ, and he puts the music back on.

O-oh... i um... wow. What does she intend to do?

>"She wants to get some guy to... to... ugh..."

Oh my... um, why is that?

>"Hell if i know Sophie, you know how weird Lyra can be." she says slapping her head with her palm.

>It is true.

>At some point, Lyra came to school handing out posters of horse genatalia.

>That was quite the day.

I'll try and help you find her. You check the kitchen, i'll check out back.

>"Thank you Sophie. My room mate is such a dumbass. I'm glad that i can rely on someone to help rangle her."

Lets go ahead and start before she does anything stupid.

>You nod to one another and head outside.

>What you find shocks and disgusts you.

>Your mother is here.

>And she's making a scene.

MOM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!

>"Oh, there you are Sophie, i just came to check up on you, This being your first party and all."

MOOOOM GO HOME!

>"Oh Sophie, you don't have to be so pushy. I am famished though after giving candy all night. Is there any food left?"

MOOOOOOOOOM!

>God, you don't know what else to feel other than agony.

>You get a tap on your shoulder.

>You turn around to see Norman.

>Oh GOSH NOT NORMAN, NOT NOW!

>"Hay uh, everything alright?" asks Norman.

>"Oh, is this that Norman fellow you have pictures of?"

MOM!

>"Y-you have pictures of me?"

>Oh my god my life is ruined.

>"Oh yes, she seems to have quite the crush on you Norman."

>This isn't happening.

>"I uh... wow... so then that kiss was..."

>"Oh? You two kissed? That is just cute!"

Mom please go home.

>"I will dear. Have fun you two!" says your mother walking back home.

>You stand there, looking away from Norman.

>You really don't even know what to do other than not look at him.

>"So then, i'm your crush then?"

>...

Yes...

>"And that kiss was-"

Yes...

>"Wow... i didn't think that someone would have a crush on ME."

>Please just kill me now.

>"So am i good kisser?"

I'm so sorry for not telling you tha- what?

>"That kiss, was it good? I'm a little self conscious about my kissing skills and-"

Y-you don't hate me?

>"No, why would i? You're practically the only other person at school who doesn't call me a racist besides my friends, AND you have a crush on me? Consider me yours.

You mean... like a boyfriend?

>"Well i mean if you wanna. Honestly i think you're really cute."

Wh-what about rarity though?

>"I've thought about the way she acts towards me and how that would effect my future. I didn't like it."

But what about getting to know each other?

>"You're basically asking me 'what are dates'?"

But what about-

>"Do you want to play 20 questions, or do you want to have fun at this party as my date?"

I-i would like to take the latter please.

>You follow Norman inside to the party.

>You and him begin to dance and have fun.

>You see Bonbon talking to Lyra about how she is stupid, but forgives her instantly.

>You see Zecora trying to give tarot reads to people.

>You see Vinyl trying to get Octavia a boyfriend.

>Then you look at Norman with a smile on his face.

>You can't help but smile as well.

>You're glad you came to this party.
