"Yeah, me and Dash had a couple of beers...It's not a big deal"
>"Uh huh...You must've had more than a couple to get hung over"
>You look pull your head up
"So I got drunk...Everybody has gotten drunk before"
>She takes her wing off of you and moves her chair back in front of you
>She takes a seat before speaking again
>"Why were you drinking? Were you drinking because you were upset?"
>You step down from your chair and grab the glass of water
>You take a sip from it and put it back down
>While standing you start to speak
"I don't know...We just started to drink and then party a little"
>She looks up at you
>"Party?"
>She's been to enough of Pinkie's Parties to know what it's like
"We drank a little, listened to music and danced... Until Fluttershy came up and told us to lower the music...Her animals couldn't sleep."
>"Then what?"
>Should you tell her?
>About what happened with Dash?
>How can she help you if she doesn't know the full story?
>You take a deep breath in
"We were both pretty drunk at this point...We were just talking for a while, I think..."
>You start to pace around in front of Twilight
>You look down at your hooves while walking around
>You shake your head as you prepare to tell her what happened
"No one while no about this right?"
>"I won't tell anyone Amber. You could trust me"
>You take a sigh of relief
"Well...If I remember right, I told her about Maple trying to...you know... She basically shrugged it off, saying that she understands why. She started calling me hot and stuff, and we sort of...made out"
>Twilight seems to have a shocked face
>She obviously wasn't expecting that
"But after that, we did a little more... I, uh...Well, we...kind of had sex"
>You feel the blood rush to your face
>Giving you one of the biggest blushes of your life
"Well, it wasn't really sex I guess, because it was just me doing the stuff...She kind of just laid there while I was...doing it to her"
>You can't look up at Twilight
>She's probably laugh at you
>Big and strong, Lieutenant Amber sleeps with a Wonderbolt in training
>The don't ask, don't tell rule was abolished, WAY before you were born...But that doesn't stop others from there idle gossiping
>"What do you mean you did it to her? It was just oral?"
>You continue pacing in front of Twilight before talking
"Yeah, pretty much...We don't have dongs so we couldn't really do it all the way"
>You manage to look up at Twilight
"But like I said, we were both drunk...We didn't know what we were doing...I swear! I didn't mean to have sex with Rainbow...She's one of my closest friends...and it just sort of happened"
>She looks, almost flustered
>She definitely didn't expect you to say you had sex with one of the holders of the Elements of Harmony
>"Well, that was unexpected"
>Told you
>"Does Rainbow remember?"
>You take a breath in
"She was the one that reminded me this morning"
>"Was she okay?"
>You shake your head
"She basically said that it was no ones fault and we should just try to forget about it"
>"Alcohol can make you do crazy things Amber...You have to try to find a way to control your emotions better. Theres no doubt that you got drunk to numb away the pain. And the reason you had sex, was probably because you were still confused about what happened with Maple that day"
>You ate Dash out because of Maple?
"W-what are some good ways to control the way I feel?"
>"Well, talking is always a healthy way. And my doors are always open if you want to talk. If you want, you can always come here and talk."
>You nod your head
"Yeah, I might just do that"
>Twilight stands up
>"So do you feel a little better?"
"Yeah, a little bit I guess...I just need to take a nap"
>She smiles
>You give Twilight a hug before leaving the library
>You hear your stomach grumble as you walk through the door
>A cupcake from sugar cube corner sounds good right about now
>And a beer
>But only coffee for you for the next few days
 
 
>You are on your way to the sugar cube corner when you notice the sun is starting to set
>You miss the days of summer when the sun would literally set at 9 P.M
>Now it's all depressing and shit
>Oh well, at least you can still play hockey with Maple
>Maple...
>You aren't mad at her
>In fact, you weren't ever really mad at her
>It was a weird feeling
>Like betrayal
>You were sleeping
>You know she didn't mean to do it
>Well, she meant to do it, but it wasn't like it seemed
>God, why does this shit got to be so confusing
>Why couldn't it be like before
>Cookies and milk while watching T.V
>You see Sugar Cube corner coming up
>The lights are still on, that's a good sign
>You open the door and you are greeted by a hyper active, pink pone
>"HIYA AMBER!"
>She literally yells at you
>You look around the store
>You don't see anyone else here
"Hey Pinkie...You guys still open?"
>"Not exactly, but I can make you something if you want!"
>That's pretty cool
"Are you sure it's okay? Because I have some fruit at my place"
>She runs up to you
>"Don't be silly Amber! Tell old Pinkie Pie what you crave!"
>You smile
"Do you have any cupcakes left?"
>"Yessir! How many do you want"
>You normally would only need one
>But you guess that you should pick one up for Maple too
"I''ll take two. One birthday cake flavor, and one cake batter flavor"
>She writes it down on a notepad, that she magically sprung out of her mane
>Weird
>"One birthday and one batter coming right up! Take a seat while I whoop some up for you"
>You sit down in the empty snack shack
>Pinkie Pie disappeared into the back room a couple of minutes ago
>All you hear is the banging of pots and pans
>With the occasional crack of a dropped utensil
>You close your eyes while waiting
>You begin to doze off
>Half sleeping, you have a very odd dream
>You see a fish
>A very dark fish
>With eyes as deep as an abyss
>You watch the fish intently
>Watching it swim up stream
>Each foot it gains up the stream it gets a little less dark
>But each time it gets a little whiter, it drops back down two feet
>Effectively killing any progress the fish had made
>The fish doesn't even seem to notice though
>It still has it's same, blank expression
>Until finally, it just stops swimming
>You watch the fish plummet further and further down the stream
>It's eyes are closed now
>Acceptance
>You feel pity towards the fish
>You try to help it
>But you can't move
>Looking down at your feet you realize that you are stuck
>By Maple syrup?
>The fish goes further and further away from you
>All the way down the stream until it disappears
>Leaving you alone
 
>"Amber! Wake up you silly goose! Your cupcakes are ready!"
>You open your eyes and see the pink pony standing over you
"Oh...yeah. Thanks Pinkie"
>"Anything for a friend! You seemed pretty restless though. Maybe the sugar will help you!"
>You nod at her
"Well, I better get going. I'll see you around"
>"Bye bye!"
>You walk out the door
>Your dream from the Sugar Cube Corner has pretty much been forgotten
>Now you are walking in the down the street with a bag of cupcakes in your mouth
>Maple is gonna be so happy when she sees you got her a cupcake
>It's pretty dark at this point
>You see a few houses with lights on, but that's about it
>The moon is over head, surrounded by thousands of stars
>You take a second to appreciate how quiet and still everything is
>Nights like these you wish you held on to your tent and stuff
>But you were desperate then
>That was before Maple got a job in the forest
>You can always always buy a new one at the sports store
>Maybe you'll pick it up for your fishing trip
>It would be fun to go camping with Maple
>So you decide that tomorrow afternoon, you will buy a new tent and supplies
>You smile at the idea
>You look up once again, looking at the moon
>It amazes you that Princess Luna was once banished there
>It seems like such a beautiful place to be exiled to
>But I guess if you were up there with no company for as long as she was, it would get pretty boring too
>Your house is getting closer
>You see one light on, but not much more
>Maple should be home by now
>You walk up to the door, but it's locked
>You start to knock on it
>You look through the glass and see Maple coming from the kitchen
>She opens the door for you
>"Hey Amber"
>You manage to mumble out a hi with the bag still in your mouth
>"Let me get that"
>She uses her magic and places the bag on the table
>"You pick up cupcakes?"
"Yeah"
>You say while trying to warm yourself up from the brisk night
>"Awesome, you can eat it after dinner"
