Ditzy walked towards the party venue, Luna’s moon creeping up behind the mountain range in the distance. It was a cool night, a gentle breeze tickling Ditzy’s ears as she went. She knew this area well, years of delivering mail had given her a fairly good sense of direction. She turned the corner onto the street where the party was being held. She had expected music and a fair amount of ponies to give away the location of Lyric’s new home. But instead she found nothing.

“Well that’s strange”. She said to herself. “Usually there’s music at parties”.

She carried on down the street, certain that she would find it soon. Still nothing. Ditzy was becoming rather anxious, numerous explanations running through her mind.

“What if I've come on the wrong night?”, “What if I'm too early?”, “What if there IS no party?”

She began to trot quicker down the street, certain that she would find something to put her mind at ease. To her relief, in the distance she spotted the silhouette of another pony. Ditzy breathed a sigh of relief. She made towards the pony shaped object, hoping that they too were on their way to the party.

Once she reached the silhouette pony, she gave them a tap on the shoulder. The pony screamed, jumping at least 15 feet in the air, before landing and curling up in a ball on the floor.

“Ummm... are you alright?” asked Ditzy.

The other pony peeked out from behind her mane, giving a small nod. Ditzy recognised this pony, she was the animal lover who lived in the cottage. Before Ditzy could get a chance to ask what the pony was doing out at such an hour, a door opened behind her.

“Fluttershy! What’s all the noise!” The voice behind the door said in a hushed voice. “Lyric isn’t here is he?”

The light coming from the front porch now illuminated the other pony in light. It was unmistakeably Fluttershy. She had now picked herself up from the floor and was now conversing with the pony stood in the doorway.

“N... No Pinkie, I don’t think he is.” Said Fluttershy in her usual quiet tone. “B... But I think we have another guest.”

Pinkie shifted her view onto Ditzy, giving a big grin as she did so.

“Ditzy! I’m so glad you could make it!”. Said Pinkie, giving a quick look around. “Get inside before he comes back! Fluttershy, keep looking out for him.”

“Umm... Okay.” Said Fluttershy, slightly more assertive than before.

Before being able to ask what was going on, Pinkie had reached out and dragged Ditzy inside before slamming the door behind them.

“Well thanks for the tour around town Miss Twilight.” Said Lyric. “I’m sure i’ll be able to find my way now.”

“No problems Lyric, i’m just glad I could help out.” Replied Twilight. “I know what it’s like to be the new pony in town.”

Lyric was a fairly young pegasus. He was well built for his age, but despite his size he seemed like a genuinely nice stallion. His glossy red coat really brung out his large yellow irises. His bright teal mane was windswept but not unkempt and a bass clef cutie mark stood proudly on his haunches.

Twilight and Lyric were walking back through the park in the center of town. The moon shone in the distance, immersing the landscape in a beautiful glow.

“So what brings you to Ponyville Lyric?” Asked Twilight.

“Oh, I’m recording a new album, I heard that Ponyville has some great beauty spots so I moved here for some inspiration.” Said Lyric.

He looked around at the moonlit scene. “I wasn’t wrong.”

Twilight smiled. She remembered the first time she had experienced nightfall in Ponyville. She could guess Lyric was enjoying the scene, his eyes shone bright with awe.

“You should probably be getting home now Lyric.” Said Twilight. “It’s getting pretty late.”

Lyric gave a downhearted sigh. “Yea I guess you’re right, I just wish I could spend more time out here.”

Twilight and Lyric walked back through the now deserted streets of Ponyville. Their hoofsteps resonating off the buildings around them.

Ditzy waited in the dark with everypony else. She could tell that a lot of other ponies were there, but the dark combined with her vision problems meant that she couldn't properly identify anyone. The noise in the house was little more than a hushed whisper. The only thing Ditzy could make out was Pinkie’s poofy mane waiting by the front door.

“Hey Ditzy, how’s it going?” Came a whisper from behind her.

She turned in the direction where the voice had come from. Despite the darkness, Ditzy could easily make out the rainbow mane of her new friend. It was Rainbow Dash.

“Oh hey Dash.” Replied Ditzy. “I didn’t see you there”.

Dash walked up beside Ditzy. “Yeah, I was just over there talking to Lyra.” She said, waving a hoof somewhere into the darkness.

Ditzy attempted to find the pony named Lyra in the darkness, but returning nothing simply just nodded towards Dash.

“So, where did you go earlier?” Asked Ditzy. “I never got to say i’d see you later!”

Rainbow Dash blushed. “Well.. I .. errrm..” She spoke in an almost embarrassed, uncharacteristically quiet tone.

She was saved from answering Ditzy properly when the front door slowly creaked open. A timid yellow pegasus poked her head around and spoke in her usual quiet tone. “Ummm... Pinkie, you told me to, umm.. t... tell you if he’s coming back. Well, I... I’m telling you now”.

The pink earth pony gasped excitedly. She then turned to the darkened room. “Everypony be quiet! He’s coming! Oh, and Fluttershy, get inside!”

Fluttershy squeaked as Pinkie dragged her inside the house.

Everyone in the room immediately fell silent. The sound of hoofsteps outside grew louder and louder. Two muffled voices could be heard.

“Well, this is me.” Said the male voice.

The second voice was familiar to Ditzy, she delivered packages to the library all the time.

“Would it be okay if I came inside, it’s pretty cold out here.” Said Twilight.

The first voice returned. “Sure, I don’t see why not.”

The handle on the door twisted, causing it to swing open. The larger of the two figures walked in. Suddenly, the lights flicked on. Party poppers and streamers littered the room with confetti, and all the ponies in the room shouted ‘SURPRISE!’

Lyric jumped back, his face twisted into a mix of shock and surprise. His once windswept mane now stood straight and his red coat turned at least 4 shades paler than it’s original hue. He tried to speak but all that came out of his mouth was a squeak that would have made even Fluttershy cringe. Twilight giggled, Lyrics current state reminded her of when Rainbow Dash scared Spike on Nightmare Night.

Pinkie bounced over to the now calm pegasus, who was busy flattening down his mane.

“Hi! I’m Pinkie Pie and I threw this party just for you!” She said, beaming all the while.

“That was quite the surprise you gave me there Pinkie.” Said Lyric.

“Well duh, it wouldn’t have been a surprise then would it!” Replied Pinkie.

The stallion smirked at the earth pony’s simple logic. He hadn’t had a surprise party before, and after that initial shock had worn off, he was sure that he would enjoy it. His train of thought was interrupted when Pinkie once again spoke up.

“So who’s ready to shake their groove thangs!”

She was greeted by a hail of cheers as the record player burst into life. The party was under way. Ditzy and Dash made their way to the buffet table. Mounds of treats and big bowls of punch adorned the small table. Ditzy wouldn’t have been surprised if the table just collapsed right then.

“Wow!” Said Dash. “Pinkie’s really outdone herself this time!”

Ditzy attempted to respond, but the 5 muffins she had shoveled into her mouth were giving her some trouble, so she just nodded. Dash took a bite out of one of Applejacks famous apple fritters as she poured two cups of punch. After Ditzy had finished her mouthful of muffin, she picked up a cup and clinked it with Rainbows.

“Cheers.” Said Ditzy before chugging down Pinkies punch.
“Cheers to you as well.” Replied Dash.

Ditzy and Dash both staggered down Mane Street, chatting loudly as they went. Both were steaming drunk.

“That... hic... that was great!” Said Ditzy, slightly slurring her words.

“Y... Yea.” Said Dash, slightly steadying herself with a wing.

They both continued towards the field under Rainbows cloud home, laughing at Twilight’s poor attempt at dancing, how Pinkie had got stuck in a lampshade and at how Berry Punch began bathing in the punch bowl because she thought she was canoeing.

Once they reached the field, they were even less able to stand up, thanks to the fit of giggles they had caught. They instead chose to lay down until they could at least stand up straight. While trying to regain their breath, Ditzy looked over at Dash. Tears of laughter cascaded down her face, her cyan body convulsed as she continued giggling. Ditzy moved her eyes further down her friend. Dash’s cutie mark glistened in the moonlight, making Ditzy blush slightly. Rainbow really did have a great figure. Mind you, she’d have to be in great shape to perform all the stunts and tricks she was known for.

“Well now’s your chance Ditz”. Said her inner voice.

Ditzy found herself shuffling closer to her friend, which elicited a few glances from Dash.

“Umm... Ditzy?” Asked Dash “What are you do...”

She was interrupted by Ditzy, who had pressed her lips up against her own. Her eyes opened wide in shock. The shock quickly disappeared from Dash’s mind, replaced instead with feelings she had never really felt before. Dash felt her wings becoming rigid as she enjoyed the kiss more and more. Sure she’d had the odd fling back at university, but this was something completely new to her. She felt... passion.

The two pegasi lay in the field, locked in each others embrace. Their tongues explored each others mouths. Eventually Ditzy broke the kiss, eyes focusing for the second time that day at the mare of her desires. Her wings stood rigid on her back. A single string of saliva linking their mouths together as they stared into each others eyes. They must have been staring at each other for about a minute before Dash broke the silence.

“W.. Well Ditzy, I... I should be getting home.”
Dash had a huge blush covering her cheeks as her wings settled by her side.

“Y... Yea, i’ve got to be getting home for Dinky.”

The two exchanged an awkward glance as they went their separate ways. Rainbow made her unsteady ascent to her cloud home, while Ditzy had the misfortune of having to trek halfway across town. In her inebriated state, this was not an easy task.

Having successfully dragged herself in through the front door, she propped herself up against the wall.

“Hi Miss Doo!” Came the familiar voice of a young colt. “How was your night.”

He looked in disbelief at what he saw. Ditzy was wasted; her mane was messy, her eyes seemed more crossed than before, and a single bead of drool hung from the corner of her mouth.

“Okay... i’ll just take the money and go now.” Said Coke, grinning nervously towards the inebriated pegasus. He hurried out the door and into the night.

Ditzy stumbled down the hallway towards her bedroom. She couldn’t wait to get some rest, but she knew that there were 2 problems that needed addressing in the morning. The first was the hangover she would inevitably be lumbered with. The second problem was far more serious though. It could wait for now though. Ditzy slipped between the sheets, giving a sigh as the warmth now enveloped her.

“Goodnight Rai-” She stopped herself before smiling.

“Goodnight Dashie.”

She closed her eyelids as the realm of sleep now overtook her senses, sending her happily into dreamland.
