A Winter's Rose
Chapter 26: Chapter 26. Party crashing fun!
Previous Chapter Next ChapterDear Fucking Diary.
Summer was cute last night, but the second we woke up, she was back to her usual bitch self. I was having so much fun with the peaceful silence as Summer didn't say a word for the entire time after that bullshit meeting. Anyway, I'll finish this later. I have a party to crash!
<<0>>
I put the dairy down as I saw the clock tick to the fifth hour of the day. In just an hour, I was going to a yard party at Priceless Jewels mansion for her birthday. I was forced to come as we were chained together and our guards said so since I dragged her around yesterday. Thankfully, if it wasn't for the fact that cousin Night Shade was going to be there with her father. I would have set the mansion on fire.
I sighed as I looked at myself in the mirror. I had my collar on with the little silver bell attached to it, my earrings were cleaned and had a perfect black shine. I didn't have to add any makeup as my eyes were on par with Summer in the lashes department, giving me that smokey, seductive look. I decided to add something since I wasn't going to wear that skimpy school outfit to the party. I was, at least, going to go with some class.
I put on a black leather jacket that had a high collar. I found it odd that the jacket had sleeves that ended halfway down my forelegs and how it ended at my waist. One would think that would compromise the warmth of the jacket, but in the end, it looked natural and epic. I left the jacket open and walked out of the bathroom and waited for Summer to get ready for like an hour.
I sat and waited on the wonderful couch for Summer while reading the Griffinicana Erotica, the fifth volume of the Pony Sutra series out of boredom. As I read the many positions that a pony could get into with a Griffin, I wondered what Blue was doing. I knew she left to go and join one of the most questionable clubs of the school with Lockheart. I swear that an Orgy Club should be allowed, period, but it's her life and she would get plenty of food for her changeling body. I had to accept that she wasn't going to stay with one pony anytime soon, it was not in her nature to do so. I guess being just, 'More than Friends' was as far as I was going to get with her. Still, I would have liked to have her all to myself, even for just a little while.
I sighed and closed the book that Lockheart let be borrow and watched Summer walk out of the bathroom, wearing the most prissy dress imaginable, that made me drool like an idiot. She looked like a sunset was wrapped around her so perfectly, that it would make Princess Cadence jealous and make her look like she was trash. Since I didn't know shit about clothes, that's the best I could describe it.
"It's too bad that your poor ass can't afford such expensive, see-through silk of such high-quality," she smugly said, killing my good mood.
'Just when she was about to get a compliment from me too,' I groaned internally.
"Whatever," I rolled my eyes. She gave me a snobby, 'Hmpf,' and walked out the door, with me following close behind with our guards.
We walked out of campus and was greeted with a fancy carriage that was waiting for us. The stallion's that were driving the carriage gave us a smile as we walked into something that Queen Elizabeth the third would ride as the roof was open. Once we were settled down on the red, velvet benches, the carriage began to move as the sun began to set, with our guards flying behind.
The ride was quiet for the most part. Summer didn't say anything, nor did the four stallions that were pulling the oversized jewelry box. I mostly focused my gaze on the sunset that moved unnaturally fast and was passed the horizon in a matter of minutes. The moon was just as fast going up as the sun went down. The higher the moon rose, the more street lamps lit up, lighting up the road like something out of a fantasy novel. I looked over to Summer, who was looking away from me and was watching the many buildings and ponies pass us by.
I couldn't help but stare in awe as her dress caught the light from the street lamps is such a way, that it made her dress shine and shimmer as bright as the stars. I'm not going to lie, she was absolutely gorgeous! She makes Feather Flight look like a fat, depressing, housewife and Fleur-de-lis like a twig with a fashion sense. Sadly, she was a cunt, if she wasn't. I bet we could be friends or even more? ‘Strange, I don't get that weird itch around her. Maybe I should talk to Lockheart about that,’ I thought.
“I see that you can't take your pathetic eyes off of me,” Summer smirked. I rolled my eyes. “Fine, you caught me. I'll admit that you are gorgeous, on the outside. On the inside, however, you are as ugly as a bag of tumors,” I said, causing her to blush and look away from me.
“T-That’s right, my tailor is the best of the best! Plus it h-helps to have such an amazing body like mine. Y-You should be thankful that you are even allowed to look at me and my perfect physique,” she stutter-blushed.
‘Why did she stutter?’ I asked myself, but before I could figure it out, we arrived at our designation.
We were not at a mansion like Summer had told me back at the dorm, but rather at the castle. We were quickly escorted to the gardens by our guards and a butler who looked at me like I was a serf or something, which put him on my hit list instantly.
The trek to the area of the party was quick and without delay. As we entered the area, I was rather surprised at how much crap and frilly - frilly foo-foo the ponies walking around with their parents were. In the north end of the area had a pyramid of presents that was as tall as Celestia. In the east corner was where a butt-load of food was on display for all to eat. The west corner had a stage where a small quartet of ponies playing classic music and the south, where we were from, had ponies in various kinds of dresses and suits pooling in.
The second we passed the little iron gate thing, all eyes were on us. Never have I felt so self-conscious in my life. I heard murmurs from the adults at how stunning Summer was and how well I complimented her and vice-versa. I was utterly shocked that I was also being praised for my bad girl look, Summer was equally surprised. We both silently decided that staying out of the spotlight was the beat idea. I don't want to know what will happen if the filly of the hour was ignored to a couple of her guests. We grabbed a bite to eat and sat on a bench by a small trove of assorted flowers, accompanied by our two thestral guards.
“What just happened?” Summer asked as I coughed up punch that was way to sugary. “Why are you getting attention for your hideous jacket? Why are they saying we look good together?” I poured my drink out in the flower bed in disgust. “I have a theory, ” I said before I asked Shadow to get me a cup of water.
“And what would that be?” Summer frowned at me as Shadow walked off to do my bidding.
“Well, they see me as a warrior Goddess for my scars and jacket while they see you as a Goddess of beauty for your dress. Because we look like polar opposites, they think we did this on purpose to complement and contrast each others style as we were seen coming in together. I can safely say that we will be the talk of the town and probably start a new fashion trend because of this,” I said, receiving a bottle of Sparkle Cola instead of water. Shadow just gave me a shrug and went back to his post.
“That's a pretty big guess, Winny,” said a familiar mare from behind. I and the confused Summer, turn around and saw Night Shade in a simple red dress with a cut down her right flank, revealing her leg in a very mature way. She wore a silver necklace with a little gold heart tied to the chain while her mane was tied in one long braid that went down her right shoulder. Summers jaw dropped while I just gave her a welcoming smile. “Sup, Night. How are you?” I said, jumping off the bench and giving her a quick hug.
“Could be better. That fight a month ago still bothers me a bit. How are you doing since you got the scars? Is aunty Spitfire doing alright?” Summer just stared at me confused, which was my cue to make her even more confused.
“Mom is doing fine and so am I. The scars make me look like a badass and my red eye is pretty cool too. Anyways, what are you doing in Canterlot? I heard something about a photo shoot or something?” I said with a smile as Summers' eyes widen in shock of what I just said.
“Well, that's good. My mom was a bit worried about you after you took on an entire pack of Diamond Dogs all by yourself, and as for why I'm here...I'm going to CSFGI this year. Plus, I just finished my modeling career for the fall, winter and spring line,” she boasted.
Summer was now fully broken.
“Sweet!” I cheered. “I'm in class A. What class are you in?” I asked. She gave me a bright smile. “No. Way. I'm in the same class! What house are you in? We got to hung out later.”
“I'm in The House of Seasons, but Summer here is currently glued to me. So I hope you don't mind a third wheel?”
“Dang, I'm in The House of Cards, at least, we are right next door, and why are you stuck with her?” she asked with a raised brow. I gave her a sheepish grin and rubbed the back of my head. “We got into a fight, then chained together with a magic chain as punishment.” I pointed to the green crystal embedded in my chest.
"Did you win?” she said, checking out my crystal. “Of course, I did! Winter Rose never, almost, loses a fight,” I scoffed mockingly at Night in a posh voice. Night giggled at my antics and booped my nose, causing me to sneeze. “Yeah, yeah,” she dismissed me. “Anyways, it was nicking talking to. My dad is waving me over and I don't want to keep him waiting. I'll see you tomorrow. Sometime around lunch in the courtyard?”
“You got it,” I saluted. Night gave me a smile and walked off to where her father was carrying a ridiculously large present on his back. I turned back to Summer and saw that she had the thousand yard stare. I thought about bringing her out of her trance but I thought against it as the bane of my existence, Priceless Jewel, began to open the hundreds of presents that all her fake friends and their parents, gave her so that they could be popular. We sat there for the duration of the opening of the gifts and the cutting of the cake.
As the classical music stopped to make room for a karaoke contest, Summer finally broke out of her trance while I was practicing a new trick that Spitfire taught me a little while ago. This trick allows me to feel someone's movements before they happen. It was a tough skill to learn as only a pegasus with a high air affinity can learn it, but once you have it down, it's rather easy to use. I know it will come in handy if I get into another fight, as I will become untouchable so long as if they don't have the exact same skill underneath their belt.
She gave me a quizzical look before she saw the lights dim and a spotlight was pointed at the stage. We watch as a pony walked on and began to talk about how amazing Jewel was at singing and invited her up to set the standard for the rest. I listened in agony as she tortured a poor cat with her voice box for a few minutes. There was a forced applause at the end of her song about herself from the victims that had to endure that torment. Just as I was about to make a comment to Summer about Jewels horrible singing, the spotlight was aimed at me with the announcer calling me up to have a go. I politely declined to which I was called a chicken by none other than Jewel, herself.
“Say what now?” I growled at being called a chicken. Summer backed away from me to prevent herself from getting a bad reputation because of me.
“That's right, you're a chicken! I bet your voice is as ugly as your face. No wonder why Dame Summer Rose drags you around on that leash. You are just here to make her look good,” Jewel mocked, causing everyone to go quietly. My eye twitched in anger, but I held it back. I saw Night right behind her, looking at me with a bit of fear in her eyes. Summer was as far away from me as possible with one of our guards behind her while Shadow stayed close to me to prevent me from sending the birthday girl to the hospital as my gift to her.
“Okay, Rose. Do I take her bait and make a fool out of myself, or do I go on stage and crush her? If I play my cards right, I could try to evoke a Perfect Symphonic Harmony, but what would be a good song that I know of that fits my personality? Wait...I Know!” I thought as I gave her a smug grin. Instead of making a witty comeback to her dog comment, I walked onto the stage, cleared my throat, grabbed the mic and began to sing with the quartet backing me up.
I stood up on my hind legs and used the mic stand as support as I whistled the intro while tapping my hoof to the high beat of the song. In less than five seconds, the quartet was playing the song perfectly. I began to swing my hips in a slutty way as I held the audience's full attention. The intro ended and I began to sing to the best of my ability.
'Hey, brother, what you thinking?
Leave that old record spinning
You feel the rhythm, going.
"They call it lonely digging!" The quartet joined in.
'Let's end your time to lay low
Your knees a-bending, so
It's time to get up and let go
"You're gonna come undone!" I spun around once as the quartet something to go with the song. I smiled victoriously at the entranced crowd and continued.
'Hey, mama, how's it going?
Can't see your body moving
Don't leave the party dying.
"They call it lonely digging!"
"Your booty shaking, you know
Your head has no right to say no
Tonight it's "ready, set, go!"
The music picked up as I took off the mic from the stand and danced to the song with empowering vigor.
I danced a slutty Swing as I rapped the chorus, moving my hips like a Brazilian booty dancer as I twisted and twirled to the rhythm. The crowd was losing their shit while dancing to the song along with me. The trumpet player was bobbing his head to the beat, Jewel was raging in the background to the fact that I stole her spotlight and Summer was staring at me in awe while Night danced like she was covered with bees. I smiled as I finished the chorus and continued after the instrumental while using the mic stand like a pole dancer.
After I finished the song, I was welcomed with a thunderous applause. I gave a quick bow to the audience and to the quartet and walked off the stage to where Night and Summer were giving me jaw dropped expressions of amazement. As I walked up to them, I saw Jewel in the far back by the tables with her mother, shooting dirty looks my way. I smirked at them and gave a brohoof to Night before she went on and on at how sexy and awesome I was while Summer kept quiet.

Dear Diary… Again
Today was an eventful day. This morning I did my routine and was surprised that Summer kept up with me. Lunch was simple after Summer walked in on me while I hanged Miss September on my wall. She instantly began yelling at me to take the poster down. She failed in that regard. The afternoon was spent shopping again as Summer didn't have the textbooks she needed. Since I was nice, I bought them for her. Of course, she was ungrateful but because I did that. She was forced to follow me to a music store to buy a keyboard and some speakers. Not sure how or why they worked, but I know I will find out in Rune Theory as that's how they were made. Once I made the order and gave the guy my address for my instrument to be delivered. We went to go pick up Summers dress. After the pickup, we went back to get ready for the party.
The party was alright for the most part. Summer was acting weird as usual. If it weren't for the mare of the hour to challenge me to sing on stage, everything would have been fine, but of course, I just had to go up and destroy the cunt who challenge me with some Electro-Swing. I got to say, it was rather fun to wiggle my butt like that.
Anyways…
The party ended after I finished my song due to the princess of the party had fallen I'll, which was utter bullshit. She was embarrassed so hard, she couldn't show her face anymore for the smack talk she gave me. So, to everyone's disappointment, the party ended.
The ride back was quiet. Summer didn't say a word nor dared to look my way. When I decided that she was being too boring, I began stargazing and I saw something that was just plain weird. In my peripherals, I saw Summer wanting to say something, but just as she was about to say it, she blushed and looked away. I didn't say anything about it, but it was interesting, to say the least.
After the ride, we got back, got undressed and went to bed. I woke up in the middle of the night again to use the bathroom which I should really not drink coffee before going to bed, and found Summer on my side of the bed, with her head nuzzle into the crook of my neck again. This time, though, it kinda felt nice. She frowned cutely as I had to use the throne room, but when I came back. I decided to put her back into her old spot to see how she would react. I quickly fell back to sleep with Summer as a teddy bear.
P.S. She is, somehow, a better cuddler than Blue. I don't know if I should be thankful or frightened about that.
(By the way. She kicked me off of the bed and denied ever cuddling with me last night)
