Chapter 45: Chapter 10
Previous Chapter Next ChapterPonyville / Drew, Rainbow Dash / Monday 1:00 PM
"C'mon Drew, wake up already! It's 1:00 in the afternoon!" Rainbow was trying to shake me awake, but to no avail. Then I felt a warm sensation on my lips, I instantly woke up to see Rainbow kissing me.
"Oh jeez!" I fell out of bed, with Rainbow laughing hysterically. I then smiled and rubbed the back of my head, she giggled at the sight.
"Hey hun." I managed to say, she then pushed me out the door and downstairs, forcing myself to change, brush my teeth, and put on a new batch of clothes.
"Now, you're ready to see the world." She put her forelegs on her hips, looking successful.
"But what if the world doesn't want to see me?" She gave me that look again. I then groaned as I went outside to face the harsh, afternoon sun, and I put on my signature sunglasses to counter the harsh rays.
"So, what do you want to do today?" Rainbow nudged me, I had a perfect idea, I just came back yesterday anyway.
"I want to go the fuck to sleep again, I barely had any sleep while on duty." Her expression is that she wasn't amused, I just chuckled.
"Just kidding! Gotcha this time." She slapped me, and I tend to get slapped a lot by Rainbow especially. I really wasn't kidding about going back to sleep though, I was in the process of thinking of a way to get back to bed. She then flew away, due to a change in weather that they pegasi team needed help with. So I decided to do the next best thing besides sleeping in my own bed, I slept on top of a cloud over by Twilight's Library. I was deep asleep when Twilight came up to see me sleeping, she then evaporated the cloud and made me fall to the ground. I was an Alicorn so I could actually sleep on clouds in the first place, so I caught myself mid-fall and started to fly to the ground.
"What was that for?" I asked, she just giggled. I was looking like this the whole time.
"Rainbow told me to wake you up, since you wouldn't earlier." She was still giggling, I just sighed as I walked away. Rainbow then tackled me to the ground, and she had a very determined look on her face. I just awkwardly smiled as a response, I was still an Alicorn too by the way, I was too tired to turn back.
"What did I tell you about sleeping? You need to get your internal clock fixed." She grabbed my ear as she brought me down to the ground, I was lying on my side.
"You don't have your internal clock fixed!" I whined, she just heartily laughed in my face, as I got back up.
"It's called Twilight Sparkle, she casts a spell on me in which I never have my internal clock messed up." She mocked, I just sighed as I went to go eat an early dinner. I could never win against these mares, ever. I may be able to take on Spartans, Dragons, and Griffons, but these girls had me beat. I sat down alone at the night club, which was also acting as a pub. Ponyville finally had a pub now, I'm surprised, anyways, Pinkie Pie came down to sit next to me.
"Hey Drew! Is something wrong?" She tilted her head, just fucking great, I had enough adorableness for one day.
"No Pinkie." I stated plainly, she then got all up in my face, giving me the Fluttershy stare.
"Fine! I can beat Griffon Armies, Dragons, even Discord! But every time I have the upper hand on you guys, you were a step ahead of me." I groaned, she just giggled.
"It's okay Drew, not even Princess Celestia understands us sometimes!" She shoved a cupcake in my mouth, I choked on it and I had to chug down some of my beer to wash it down. She then smiled as she passed me a microphone, I guess I could sing a little, but what am I going to sing? I then scrolled down my iPod I always bring with me, and chose something to play. Nopony was really at the club, it was a school night and almost everypony worked today, it was just like 5:30 in the afternoon, so they just got off work and coming home.
(Music)
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh
This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm...
Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win, I always win...
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know... (come on)
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
(Come on)
No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!
Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible lies...ahhh...
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
This song just brings my spirits up, and it looks like I've attracted a crowd too. I couldn't really do the autotune part in the song, I actually had an edited version of the song. I then chuckled as I whispered into Pinkie's ear, she giggled as she got a microphone herself.
(Music)
Just shoot for the stars
If it feels right
And aim for my heart
If you feel like
And take me away and make it OK
I swear I'll behave
You wanted control
So we waited
I put on a show
Now I make it
You say I'm a kid
My ego is big
I don't give a shit
And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
Maybe it's hard
When you feel like you're broken and scarred
Nothing feels right
But when you're with me
I'll make you believe
That I've got the key
Oh
So get in the car
We can ride it
Wherever you want
Get inside it
And you want to steer
But I'm shifting gears
I'll take it from here (Oh! Yeah yeah!)
And it goes like this (Uh)
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you (Uh)
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I don't need to try to control you (Oh, yeah)
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger (Yeah yeah)
I've got the moves like Jagger
You wanna know how to make me smile
Take control, own me just for the night
And if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this
So watch and learn
I won't show you twice
Head to toe, oooh baby rub me right
But if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this (Ay! Ay! Ay! Aaay!)
And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue (Take me by the tongue)
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you (Yeah yeah yeah!)
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
(Oh, yeah)
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
The now full house started clopping their hooves, I don't know what's up with these ponies and human music, but they sure loved it. It looks like all our friends are looking over to Pinkie and I, they were sitting in our usual spot in the club. And yes, we have a designated spot we sit at in the club, it's a circle booth right in the corner, best spots in the house. I chuckled as I went flying downstairs, turns out Pinkie pushed me, and I was unaware of that at that moment, which my chuckle got replaced with a moan of pain. I then limped to the booth, I wasn't broken, but I was going to be sore in the morning.
"You did great hun." I never thought I'd see the day Rainbow would say, "hun," ever. I started to giggle when I noticed the slight blush on her face, I pecked her on the cheek as I sat down at the table. I then made my way outside, looking into the cool night atmosphere, Luna's out done herself once again. I then climbed a few of the loose bricks on the side of the building and sat my lazy ass on the roof. Princesses Luna and Celestia decided to prance on over to Ponyville to give us a visit, and by prancing I mean teleport and completely scare the shit out of me. I then jumped and almost fell off of the roof, doing an epic cliffhanger pose, Nathan Drake style. I then let go, making me land straight on my feet ten feet below me.
"Nice timing princesses." I was being sarcastic, wiping the dirt off my ass.
"I must say Drew, we didn't expect you to be on the roof. Do you mind telling us why you were up there?" Princess Luna asked. I just chuckled as I went inside, leaving the two sisters in confusion. While I was zoned out, I didn't expect the CMC's to be in here, I guess there's no school tomorrow?
"Mr. Drew! It's been a while!" Apple Bloom came up to me, I picked her up and laid her on my shoulders. I guess Nick or whoever else were babysitting the fillies, and they took the girls here.
"Alright, who wants to see Drew sing?" Pinkie Pie suggested, all of them nodded, and I was like, WTF?! I was forced on stage this time around, I guess this was for a good cause?
(Music)
Here we go again
I kinda wanna be more than friends
So take it easy on me
I'm afraid
You're never satisfied
Here we go again
We're sick like animals
We play pretend
You're just
A cannibal
And I'm afraid
I won't get out alive
I won't sleep tonight
Oh oh
I want some
More
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
Take a bite of
My heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some
More
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Say goodbye to my heart
Tonight
Here we are again
I feel the chemicals kickin' in
It's getting heavy
And I wanna run
And hide
I wanna run and hide
I do it every time
You're killin' me now
And I won't be
Denied by you
The animal inside of you
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
Hush, hush The world is quiet
Hush, hush We both can't fight it
It's us that made this mess
Why can't you understand?
Whoa, I won't sleep tonight
Here we go again [3x]
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting
Here we go again [3x]
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
I then started to breathe heavily, the crowd loved it, and I loved Neon Trees. I then went to the bar area and ordered myself a whiskey. The CMC's then came over to me before I started my hour long drinking session.
"Wow Drew! I didn't know ya' had that much talent!" Apple Bloom said, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo nodded in agreement. I then waved them and everypony else goodbye as I started my drinking session, with Nick by my side to take me home when I pass out. Hangovers? Screw that, because I got 'dem Tic-Tacs!
