Ponyville / Drew, The Crew / Tuesday, 10:00 AM, 9/25/61
I had just woken up, because I was sleeping in like a champ! It turns out today is my birthday! I was turning 37 today, and I still look like I'm not even 24 yet. Turns out it's SomeAsian2347 a.k.a. the author's birthday as well, or at least that's what he told me inside of my head, I'm still confused on how he got into my head in the first place though. A full year has passed since we first got here into Equestria, which was pretty surprising considering that I'm still sane.
"Hey, happy birthday Drew! I hope you have a good one as well." Jhon came up to me and patted me on the back.
"Hey dude, happy birthday, I was up all night making you this." Nick opened his hand revealing a laser sight for Goldie.
"Aww, man! This is great! I always wanted one, but they're too expensive back on Earth!" I was so giddy, I instantly put the laser sight on Goldie, turning it on. Since it was 2161, we no longer needed batteries, it ran on a solar charge, one hour in the sun can run it for days. Tonight to celebrate, I was gonna go drink at the night club until I pass out, I was damn rich anyway.
"So, I heard it was somepony's birthday? Well, who is it?" Rainbow came up to me and asked, "Guess." I replied back, she really didn't know who's birthday it was.
"Is it Nick?" She asked, I shook my head no.
"Is it yours?" I nodded, picked her up.
"Took you long enough to find out." I kissed her, putting her back on the ground. She had to go somewhere because she had some business to take care of.' She's telling Pinkie Pie, I know it. ' I thought to myself, walking outside into the field in front of me, only to meet the six ponies, with that gleam in their eyes again.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY DREW!" They all yelled in my face, it hurt my ears pretty damn bad too, I may not be able to hear for the next few hours. I cleaned out my ears, and then stretched my arms out to hug all of them, I love cartoon physics man, you can do almost anything.
"Aww, you guys didn't have to get me anything. I'm just glad I'm here with you." I never got anything from anypony before, nor did I want to take it from them, they give me all that I need already.
"C'mon Drew, how come you don't want any presents?!" Pinkie gasped, I had told her that the last time I got a present from someone, I was in college. I had received one from Nick, but he's been my best friend since we met in boot camp, so that was an exception. Pinkie was planning on throwing a party for me, but I didn't want to have one.
"Pinkie, tonight I was just gonna go out to drink, maybe sing a little with Rainbow and you, and then go home. That's all I want." I calmly replied, she agreed to do it luckily, I didn't want those kinda girly parties, no offense to Pinkie. It was only the morning and everypony in town already found out it was my birthday within the span of a few hours. Everypony was telling me happy birthday, I was practially blushing all day, I couldn't help it, but I never had this many ponies tell me happy birthday, never in my whole life.
After lunch it seemed like I had an unexpected visit. I was drinking my afternoon tea, because my dad got me addicted to it when he was in the S.A.S., until Princesses Celestia and Luna popped out of nowhere, causing me to do a spit take.
"*Pfffffft!* Uhmm hello princesses. What brings you here today?" I asked nonchalantly, I knew what they were here for, but it was unexpected for them to visit me on such short notice.
"Why hello Drew, Twilight told me it was your birthday. I wanted to give you this." She came up to me, and gave me a bottle of moonshine?
"This is Princess Luna's home made moonshine, she made it herself." She gave me a smirk, Luna behind her was blushing, this was actually the real shit, not just something off the tap. Even though moonshine was redneck alcohol to me, it was the only thing besides Jack Daniels that could get me drunk. I popped open the bottle and took a swig, my throat was burning like fuck!
"Ohh, man this is strong.*cough* Thank you princesses, this might come in handy in the future. And what I mean by future I mean tonight." I said hugging both of them, trying to get the burn out of my throat, the princesses just giggled at me and teleported back to the castle. The burn in my throat hurt, but it was worth it, it only lasted for a few moments and then subsided and continued my weekly stroll around town.
Things in Ponyville could never be normal though, there was another Diamond Dog invasion today took out half of the buildings in Ponyville. Those bastards are gonna pay, they need somebody to teach them a lesson, and I was the one to teach them.
Once I had reached the cave alone, I made sure nopony was following me and made my way in.' Alright, Round 3! Let's go bitches! ' I thought to myself, this was the like third time in the last year they have done something to these ponies man! I mean, what do they have against them? HOW do they have something against them? Turns out I was on another hostage rescue mission, I saw...My GOD! They took the CMC's, now they're gonna pay, they were covered in bruises and cuts, probably from the dogs beating them.
"Somepony? Anypony? Help us! Please!" Scootaloo said, the dog shut her up by punching her in the cheek, I swear, these dogs are relentless. I don't even know if they know slavery is illegal, but wrong-doers have consequences that follow. My thermals said that they were being held behind a locked metal door, so it was time for a breach. I put the C-4 on the cave wall, and readied my stasis. I heard the announcer from back in the Modern Warfare series go through my head, that game was far from being realistic compared to real life, but it was still fun to play.
"Search and Destroy. Delta Force you are clear to engage." I lolled at that moment, remembering the good old days. I had headed through the corridors of the dark cave, it was so dark I had to turn on my thermal vision, killing any Diamond Dog that stood in my way
"BREACHING! BREACHING! Get on the ground motherfucker!" I yelled at their leader, pointing the laser toward its face. One dog tried to stab me with a spear, but I shot at it with a beam of stasis and put a bullet through its head, causing it to drop dead on the ground before it reached me. I wish the girls didn't have to see this in the first place, but this is what I was taught to do. The dogs wouldn't listen to reason, so there was only one other way to deal with hostages without negotiating, to take them back by force. I was now in control of the room I breached, the CMC's were safe on my back, I had healed them using my Alicorn abilities, and I headed out the hole I came through. I had killed their latest leader, so they wouldn't be attacking Ponyville anytime soon, this was one helluva birthday if you ask me. First, I was given a new attachment for Goldie, next Moonshine from the princesses, getting to rescue the CMC's, and then I was gonna sing a few songs and drink the night away.
"Drew, THAT WAS SO AWESOME! Oh, and happy birthday." They all said, one at a time, I just chuckled.
"It's no problem kiddos, just doing my job. And thank you." I replied, they all had hugged me. How many hugs was I gonna get today? This is just getting crazy! I think all this love and tolerance was getting to me, I may need some therapy when I get back home. Well, I wasn't expecting anymore presents today, but it seems that these ponies can't stop giving, I tried to stop them with my modesty, but they insisted on me taking them. Derpy gave me some muffins, they were delicious. Lyra gave me her old lyre, I know I could use this as a makeshift acoustic guitar with the right parts. And Colgate gave me, toothpaste, I had to keep proper hygiene somehow, so I decided to put it to good use.
"So, how are you guys coming along with your cutie marks?" I asked them, they revealed all new cutie marks, I couldn't describe them but they all looked like they suited them well. I dropped them all of in their proper homes, Scootaloo's parents were so worried about her, Applejack thanked me and gave me an apple, and Rarity was already making me something to wear at the Grand Galloping Gala, free of charge, she was also worried about Sweetie Belle as well. Well, I've had my fill of action for a while, or at least until the call to arms called upon Delta.
I think I'm ready for tonight, I could go for a drink. I think these ponies remembered my birthday because I guess Delta Force are kinda celebrities here and just wanted to hear us sing. I was grateful anyway, at least they knew bout it in the first place.
Later that day...
It was already night time by the time I went to the night club, I had the Crew and the Mane six tag along as well. I had my pocked full of Bits and my microphone fully charged, my guitars tuned, and the keyboards programmed. I was set for my birthday night, tonight was gonna be interesting, I will give it that. So I was going to get out all the singing first, and then drink until I pass out, or if the bartender said I've had enough. Usually, by the time I get done drinking, I'm still kind of sober and just walk home. I guess now that we're done setting up, we pick out songs to sing, I had a few in mind, since this is my birthday night, I have decided to sing this to start the night off.
I gotta feeling...
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
A feeling... Woohoo
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
Tonight's the night,
Let's live it up
I got my money,
Let's spend it up
Go out and smash it
Like oh my God
Jump off that sofa,
Let's get, get off
I know that we'll have a ball
If we get down and go out and just lose it all
I feel stressed out, I wanna let it go
Let's go way out spaced out
And losing all control
(Chi CHi Chi)
Fill up my cup,
mazel tov
Look at her dancing,
Just take it off
Let's paint the town,
We'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof,
And then we'll do it again
Let's do it,
Let's do it,
Let's do it,
Let's do it
And do it and do it,
Let's live it up
And do it and do it
And do it, do it, do it
Let's do it, let's do it,
Let's do it
'Cause I gotta feeling, woohoo,
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
A feeling, woohoo,
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

Everypony was cheering at this point, I was glad they liked American Music so much, I wonder why though.
"Thank you everypony! I just wanted to give a shout out to myself, saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I put my mic into the air, thinking of another song to put on for the crowd, the Crew and I have talked it over and decided on this one.
"This one goes to my marefriend, Rainbow Dash." I looked over to her, she was shocked, she never had a song dedicated to her, she nodded and started listening to the music we started to play.
On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's déjà vu
But I thought this can't be true
'Cause you moved to west LA
Or New York or Santa Fe
Or wherever to get away from me
Oh but that one night
Was more than just right
I didn't leave you 'cause I was all through
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
Mmm the way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
On the upside of a downward spiral
My love for you went viral
And I loved you every mile you drove away
But now here you are again
So let's skip the "how you been"
And get down to the "more than friends" at last
Oh but that one night
Is still the highlight
I didn't need you until I came to
And I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
Mmm the way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Please believe that when I leave
There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you
And a little time to get my head together too
On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's déjà vu
But I thought this can't be true
'Cause
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
Mmm the way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Rainbow was crying after I finished the song, because I dedicated it to her, of course. I was done for tonight, becaue I wanted to get in a drinking session.
"Another round over here Berry." It has been at least an hour since I started to drink, everypony who stayed to watch me drink were dumbfounded. I could drink for days, literally.
"I think you've had enough for tonight Drew." Berry Punch commented, I had like 25 shot glasses in front of me, all empty, and I was a bit tipsy, my words were slurred, but other than that I was wobbly as well.
"Okay *hiccup* I think I'll be *hiccup* going now. *Hiccup* Rainbow, please lead me home *Hiccup* if you would." I said, wobbling my way back home, this was the first birthday I've had that involved ponies, drinking, and singing all at one party. I think I may have to do this again sometime, but not anytime soon. I climbed into bed, with Rainbow crawling up next to me. As my 37th birthday ended, I drifted off to sleep, a year older than I was before today.
