>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.
