A Brony Life
Chapter 34: Party Paranoia! (Episode 6)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWhat up every pony! Man I am so glad that my school's EOC's are finally over, along with most of my Exams! And as of May 22nd, I will have NO MORE SCHOOL! Thank Celestia for THAT! Anyway, with me having next to no important school stuff to do, I'll have a lot more time and focus to work on this story! But I also do have another story that I'm keeping up with (has to do with BioShock Infinate) and I want to write a little more than that since it's been about a month or two now and I only have two chapters up... yeah. So with all that said, let's start up the chapter and stuff!
And I have one other thing to say. Like I said in the announcement chapter, the last QotC question had so many choices and votes, that I couldn't keep them all up. So I put a poll up on my profile. And just recently I found out that whenever you put up a poll, it is by default turned off. So I finally got it up for real this time! So again, whoever wants to vote for their favorite pony in the intros, please go to my file and vote on the poll. You get two choices, and I put down all the ponies that were asked for in the reviews. So vote away!
Disclaimer: I do not own MLP, or anything famous that is mentioned in this story including music.
Now let the chapters finally resume!
Blitz's POV
Huh... Woah, where am I?... As I started to wake up, my head killing me. I looked around, my eye sight a little blury, and found that I was in a tree.
"Crack!" That didn't sound good. It came from right under me. To be more exact, it came from what I was laying on... A branch. "SNAP!" Before I could even respond, the branch under me broke under my weight, sending me to the ground.
"Ow..." I said.
"No kidding..." I looked under me and saw a pony with some really cool shades. She was a unicorn with a white coat, and she had a blue mane and tail with a lighter blue streak running through both.
"Oh... Sorry about that..." I said as I rolled off of her, barely concious. And by the looks of it, she wasn't doing that much better herself. He shades had a crack on the right side, and she had some dust on her. She looked like she had a fight with some pony and lost. "You okay?..." I asked.
"Yeah... What happened though?..." She asked as she got up and looked to me.
"Uh... I fell outta tree and landed on you..." I said as I had a hard time telling a story that happend literally ten seconds ago. It was a combination of both drowsiness and my migraine.
"Na dude, not that. Yesterday. I can barely remember any of it..." She said as she tried to think back. Scratching her head in thought.
"Yesterday..." I tried to remember, but had no idea myself. I tried to think back to what was going on.
Flashback #1, Blitz's POV
"How long did you say it was until you'll be back?" I asked, looking towards Twilight, and Rarity who were all boarding the train to _.
"Just two days. We have to be in _ for the _." Twilight reminded us. It was me, _, _, and _.
Since _ and _ had already gone off to _ for two days about something about a _, so there weren't that many of us left in Ponyville. Meaning that it was going to be a boring two days.
...
"Got it. I'm pretty sure we can last that long without burning down Ponyville." I said, joking about what Twilight said earlier.
"Good. Well we have to go now. See you in two days every pony." And with that, she and Rarity boarded the train.
...
...

End Flashback
"Oh yeah! They had to go to-to... Where again..." I tried to recall.
"What are you talking abo- WOAH!" The mysterious unicorn covered her mouth with her hoof, now getting a good look at me.
"What?! What's up?!" I said, now waking up faster because of her yelling.
"Your tail!... And-and your ear! They're missing!" She said to me.
"Huh?" I turned to see that my tail was indeed missing. I then felt where my left ear should be, only to find it missing too. "Okay, this is getting freakier by the minute."
"Ha, tell me about it!" She said rhetorically. "But how did you not notice?!" She asked, really confused.
"I'm uh... A cypony." I admitted. If I didn't tell her immediatly, then she would be scared and confused so much right now. "You see, some of me is made of metal..." I continued.
"Metal... OH! ELECTRIC METAL!" She said pointing to me, apparently remembering me from somewhere. What was wierd though was that name somehow made me remember something else that happened yesterday.
Flashback #2, Blitz's POV
"What up every pony?!" DJ Pon-3 yelled through a mic on her DJ set. "Me and Electric Metal here are ready to bring you some out of this world beats!" She yelled, sounding more excstatic then ever tonight. Apparently, she was really excited for showing off the music I showed to her.
"Now something cool we have for ya, EM here has his own DJ system built into his own head! So now he and I are gonna be playin some of that music for you partyin ponies down there! So are! You! Ready?!" She asked them. The whole system, along with me and DJ Pon-3, were all set up on a platform that was ten feet from the ground. That way, we could see the crowd under us and wouldn't get any background noise into the mic.
And for some reason, I only knew her by her stage name and not her real one. She never did tell me her real name did she?
Also, because of hanging with Pon-3 for a few hours, while we were putting together all the songs for the town-wide party that were in my head, literally I might add, I found out that ponies have really similar tastes in music if not the same thing. The only difference was just that they were against cursing in their music, which I could live with.
So I just played Pon-3 a bunch of songs I knew, playing the clean versions of them of course. This making me not only taking out the curse words, but having to change some of it so it didn't say anything about alcohol or violence directly. She said that they were all perfect as soon as we both came together to help make up the lyrics replacing the originals. Even though she didn't understand some of the lyrics because I came from a different world. But she didn't need to know that much about me, so I just said that I made up some lyrics just to make the songs rhyme.
Back to the party though, I did something that made every pony around us amazed. I took off my left ear just like last time, and plugged it into Pon-3's DJ station.
I started playing rock/rap music to them all like Good Feeling by Flo Rida and Let it Rock by Lil Wayne. Needless to say, they all loved it.
End Flashback
"That explains how my ear came off I guess, but where did it end up?" I asked her.
"Huh... Maybe it's still in my system?" Pon-3 suggested.
"Maybe... We might as well check it out. Let's go." I offered as I started to head back towards Ponyville. We had ended up at a tree on a hill that was probably a two mintue walk from it, so we could see it off in the distance.
"Right behind ya Electric Metal." Pon-3 said as she followed. She took off her shades and put them away. I guess she wasn't able to see them with the crack in the lens.
As soon as we got to Ponyville, everything looked the same. Every pony was walking around, talking to one another with a friendly smile. In fact, every pony was acting even more friendlier then ever.
As we both made our way to the town center where the party was, some of them saw us and smiled even more.
"Look! It's Electric Metal and DJ Pon-3!" One guy said as he saw us. He then laughed at me. "I guess EM litaerally partied till his tail fell off!"
All of them around us noticed and smiled and said hi to us, acting like we were celeberties to some extint. I think I even saw one of them getting a nearby napkin, ink, and quill, but we were already out of view before he could turn towards us.
As we kept going it was the same thing. I remember that party being huge from that memory, but I don't remember much else from it.
That's when I saw Ginger Star. But instead of greeting me, she laughed. "Dude! When they say party till your tail falls off, I don't think they mean it literally!"
Every pony around us laughed. I chuckled a little at it, though I didn't really find it funny because I had just heard that not two minutes ago. "Thanks, I'll remember that." I told her.
Eventually, we finally made it back to the town center, and immediatly spotted the platform from last night. I flew up to it and looked around, while Pon-3 came up the stairs.
"See it anywhere?" She asked me.
"No. No where." I saw the place in the system where my ear would fit perfectly, and remembered that being where I put it. But it was gone now.
"Huh. I was sure that it would be here..." Pon-3 started to think to herself.
"Maybe some pony else knows what happened. But who can we ask?" I said to myself.
"Blitz! There you are!" I looked up in the sky where I heard that voice and saw two familiar ponies flying towards us.
"Rainbow Dash? Fluttershy? What are you two doing here, aren't you two supposed to be..." As I said that, I remembered something else.
Flashback #1, Blitz's POV
"How long did you say it was until you'll be back?" I asked, looking towards Twilight, Spike, and Rarity who were all boarding the train to _.
"Just two days. We have to be in _ for the _." Twilight reminded us. It was me, _, _, and _.
Since Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had already gone off to Cloudsdale for two days about something about a rain emergency, so there weren't that many of us left in Ponyville. Meaning that it was going to be a boring two days.
And the only reason I couldn't go was because of my condition that kept me from messing with rain clouds. So I was pretty much useless to them.
"Got it. I'm pretty sure we can last that long without burning down Ponyville." I said, joking about what Twilight said earlier.
"Good. Well we have to go now. See you in two days every pony." And with that, she, Spike, and Rarity boarded the train.
...

End Flashback
"Wait, I remember!" I shouted out, making them all jump. Apparently, I was just looking off into space as the memory came back to me.
"Remember what?! And what happened to your tail and ear?!" Rainbow Dash asked, really confused. Fluttershy had passed out from the sight and landed on the platform.
"I remembered that you two had to go to Cloudsdale!" I told them.
"When did you forget it?" Rainbow Dash asked, getting more and more confused as I talked.
"I forot it when..." I started. That's when I remembered something else.
Flashback #3, Blitz's POV
"_, you come back here with my _ right now!" I yelled at him, flying after him. He was pretty fast, and since we had been up for a while, I was pretty tired so I couldn't fly as fast as I could.
"Blitz hold on! We can still have a great party without it!" _ told me. I didn't listen though as I just kept flying after _. He had a smirk on his face as he kept running, happy that he had it because _.
As I chased _, I knew that he wasn't really stealing it for a bad reason. Still, it was the life of the party and not to mention my _ for crying out loud! I couldn't let him just take it. Besides, _ and DJ Pon-3 would have a hard time keeping a party of this size going without it. Even though they were probably the best party masters in Ponyville.
"Er! You better give it back right now dude!" I said, trying to keep up. I was so tired though, that I closed my eyes for a few seconds. When I opened my eyes and flew into a tree, hitting it hard enough to make me black out.
End Flashback
"Wait, that's it?!" I yelled to no pony inparticular. I could tell that there was more behind that story, but I couldn't remember it quite yet.
"Metal, you okay?" Pon-3 asked me.
"Yeah! I just keep remembering stuff! But this time I couldn't piece together what exactly happened..." I tried desperatly to remember what else had happened, but it was no use.
"So what did happened?" Dash asked me.
"Well... I was flying after some pony who I guess stole something. But I was pretty tired from partying so I couldn't keep up. So I flew into a tree and blacked out. Guess that's why I can't remember." I summed up the memory.
"What even happened yesterday?" She asked me.
"From what I can remember, the whole town had a party, with me and Pon-3 at the center. I used my ear to play some music, and somewhere along the way, I went after that thief an ran in a tree." I said.
Rainbow Dash then put two and two together and laughed at me. "You do know that when they say 'party till your tail falls off', they don't mean it literally?!"
Okay, that was getting old fast. "So I've been told."
"Uh Metal?" I turned to Pon-3. "Did you forget about Party Pink too? She helped us out with the whole party." She reminded me.
"Party Pink..." Oh, here we go again.
Flashback #4, Blitz's POV
"Okay! Party Pink, Electric Metal? You two ready to kick off the biggest party Ponyville's ever seen?" Pon-3 asked us as she stood in front of her sound system.
"You betcha!" Pinkie said from right beside me.
I nodded along. "You know it!" I said, pumped about this whole thing. These two seperated could make great parties, but combined? Who knows how great this is going to be.
"Excellent!" She said. "Party Pink? You go ahead and get the party going with the snacks, punch, and all. Electric Metal? You know what you gotta do!" I nodded, ready to start helping with the music. This was going to be the best party ever!
End Flashback
"Um... Blitz?" I looked over and saw Fluttershy, getting up. "Are... Are you okay?..." She looked really worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine. My ear and tail were metal remember? I can't feel anything so I'm just fine." I told her. She did remind me that whatever happened to my tail was unclear.
"But what we need to focus on right now is finding Pinkie Pie. She might know what happened yesterday." I told them all.
"Okay. Any idea where we might find her?" Pon-3 asked.
They all looked at me, which confused me a little. "What?" I asked after a few seconds.
"Well your the one that keeps having flashbacks. So have another one." Rainbow Dash told me.
"It's not that easy. They just... Come to me, if that makes any sense. Besides, how should I know where Pinkie Pie is?" I asked them.
"Who?" Pon-3 asked, kind of confused. Did she always know every pony by stage names?
I sighed at that. "How should I know where Party Pink is?" I repeated my question, saying Pinkie's stage name instead.
"Oh, got it." She said with a nod of her head. "Before we go though what are their names? I know who they are, but not their names." She told me.
"Oh right. They're called..." Before I told her, I got an idea. Why should they go without stage names? I then smirked. "That one," I pointed to Rainbow Dash with my smirk getting bigger. "Is called Light Speed."
She opened her jaw to say hi, but saw how I called her something else. "Wait what?" She asked.
I moved right along, not letting Rainbow Dash, or 'Light Speed' correct me. "And that one's called," I then pointed to Fluttershy. "Nature Chat." I finished.
"Alright! What's up Light Speed and Nature Chat? I'm pretty sure you know me. I'm DJ Pon-3." She reminded them. Apparently they had met before, but never introduced themselves.
"Wait a minute, that's not my-" Before Rainbow Dash could object, I stopped her.
"We don't have time for this Light Speed, let's hurry up and find Party Pink." I told her. She groaned silently a little, knowing I did all of this on purpose, but didn't say anything else.
Fluttershy didn't object to it at all, already seeing how I did all of this as a joke. Either that or she didn't really want to object about it.
"Well let's check Party Pink's pad first. She probably crashed there after the party ended." Pon-3 told us. She then started to go down the stairs and towards Sugarcube Corner.
As we all started to fly after, Rainbow Dash stopped me, leaving Fluttershy to fly over to Pon-3 without noticing. "What's with the names?" She asked me.
"I'm not letting you two go without stage names while I have to have one. Wouldn't be fair." I told her. "Besides, do you really hate the nickname 'Light Speed'?" I asked her.
She sighed and started flying back over to the other two, knowing I had her beat there. "So what's your 'stage name' anyway?" She asked me, putting air quotes around stage name with her hooves.
"Apparently some time yesterday DJ Pon-3 had come up with Electric Metal." I told her.
... Are you serious?! Another one?!
Flashback #5, Blitz's POV
"So what do we do now?" I asked.
"Well, I don't know about y'all, but I got some work that needs doin. Sorry, but I gotta run. See ya later!" Applejack said as she headed off towards Sweet Apple Acres to do her work.
"Well I guess it's up to us!" Pinkie said from right beside me, with a determined look on her face.
"Wait, what's up to us?" I asked her. Not five minutes after most of the others left and Pinkie and me apparently had some important job to do.
"Well, with every pony else gone from the group, we need to keep Ponyville happy! Because we can't have a sad and quiet Ponyville, that would be so depressing! And think of all the sad faces from every pony here! They'd be all frowny and say, 'Why?! Why can't we have a great big Ponyville party?! Wah-ha-ha?!'" Pinkie imitated, pretending to be the ponies of Ponyville crying.
"Okay fine! It's up to us to have a party!" I said, trying to get Pinkie to stop fake crying because every pony around us was noticing, and blaiming me for her crying.
"YAY!" She yelled out in glee. "Okay first, we need one more pony to help us have a party this size! And I know just the pony for the job! Over there!" She said, pointing to a pony that was working on a DJ system. She wasn't playing any music on it so no pony was crowding around her yet.
"Woah..." I said, amazed. That system was probably the most tech advanced thing in Equestria! Besides me the cypony anyway. "Is that a DJ booth?!" I asked.
"Yep! And the pony rocking the DJ booth is called DJ Pon-3! Now come on, we need her help!" She then started skipping over as I just followed her.
"Hiya Pon-3!" Pinkie greeted.
"Party Pink! I haven't seen you for a while! How ya been?!" She asked, talking to Pinkie like an old friend. And if this DJ Pon-3 pony had helped Pinkie with parties before, I wouldn't say I'm that far off target.
"Oh you know! Same old thing! Throwing parties, and making smiles!" Pinkie said with an upbeat attitude.
"Hehe... Same old Party Pink. So who's this pony with the tail?" She said looking towards me. I couldn't tell what she really thought of me because he shades kept me from seeing her eyes.
"Oh this is one of my newest friends! He's a cypony!" She told her. Since they were best friends, I didn't really object to her telling the DJ that part about me because of two things. One, they were friends so I guess Pinkie could trust her. And two, I just always thought that DJs were laid back ponies that didn't judge others based on stuff like that.
"A cypony huh?" She asked, scratching the under part of her chin as she looked at me.
"Yeah! And it's so cool because he can absorb lightning from clouds!" She continued. Again, I didn't stop her because she was pretty much just boasting for me. Was it really wrong of her to do that?
"Hm... Oh I got it! I'll call you Electric Metal!" She said, pointing to me.
"What?..." I said thrown off. "That's not my-"
"Just go with it Metal. Trust me, DJ Pon-3 has a knack when it comes to names." Pinkie told me.
Well there goes my whole belief of, DJ's not judging others based on stuff about them.
End Flashback
"Blitz! Wake up!" I woke up to the sound of Rainbow Dash yelling in my only ear. Which wasn't helping because the whole one ear thing was making my right ear the only ear I could depend on for the moment.
"Ow..." I said, getting up from- the ground? "Why am I on the ground?" I asked. "And how come my chest hurts?"
"Because you blacked out again and fell straight to the ground. That party must've taken a lot out of you EM." Pon-3 said. She and Fluttershy had came back over to see if I was okay.
"Yeah, guess so. Man, this is going to be a long day for me isn't it?" I asked no pony inparticular as I got up from the ground. I just hope that I wouldn't be getting flashbacks like this all day.
Well this isn't normal is it? Oh well, hopefully Pinkie will be able to explain just how awesome the party was last night, because Blitz is pretty much hopeless on that. Anyway, hope you all enjoyed the chapter! See you all tomorrow!
QotC: Have you ever had a time where you just forgot everything that happened? Like amnesia wrapped around just one day inparticular?
