I was pretty much the happiest pony in Equestria. I was getting a new house for free, I had a well-paying job, and I had a beautiful marefriend. I sighed in relaxation. Ditzy and I shared a few more hours together the past few days. We had planned a romantic stroll this evening after we finished working. I couldn’t wait!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“So how was your day Rave?” Ditzy said as we started our stroll.

“It was definitely long. But luckily, Applebuck Season is pretty much over, so I can spend more time with you.” I gave her a wink.

Ditzy blushed. “Oh hey, want to stop here and watch the sun set?”

“Sure,” I replied. We picked a spot on the grass and sat down there. She rested her head on my shoulder as we watched Celestia’s sun fall.

“The past few days have been the best days of my life,” Ditzy said. She picked up her head and looked into my cyan-colored eyes.

She leaned in and locked me in a deep kiss. This was the first real kiss the two of us shared. Sure, we gave each other small pecks on the cheek the past few days, but this one was the real deal. We finally broke apart after then sun had set and Luna’s moon came into the sky.

There were clear spots of red on her light-gray colored cheeks. She gave a small giggle. “Well that was fun, but I should really head on home.”

My head dropped in disappointment. “Are you sure? We can go to Bonbon’s Café and order some muffins or something.”

She giggled some more. “That sounds like a lot of fun, but I have a lot of packages to deliver tomorrow.”

My head fell again. She lifted my head up again with her hoof and our lips met again.

My cheeks were on fire. If they were any hotter, they would have burst into flames. “Well, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow then Ditzy.”

I waved good-bye to her as she flew away. This was quite easily the happiest day of my pony life.

I stepped in front of Vinyl Scratch’s club. I had stopped going the past few days because every time I went, Big Macintosh would put a hoof out and make me pay ten bits. I watched plenty of other ponies go in without having to pay at all. Big Mac just liked to take back the money I earned from the apple farm.

But today was different, today was a day to party. When you receive your first kiss, you have so much energy in you, that you feel like you’re about to explode! The best way for me to get rid of this feeling was a night of dancing.

I walked up to Big Macintosh and handed him ten bits. “Satisfied?”

Big Mac pocketed my money and said, “Eeyup.” He opened the door for me and I glared at him as I walked past. I paused for a moment as I heard an uncommon sound coming from the stereo. It sounded as though someone was playing a piano. I slowly walked into the room, unsure of what was happening. I was reassured as the piano music quickly changed to a fast-paced techno/rap song. I laughed to myself. The party don’t start till I walk in.

A few hours later…

I sat down on a chair in front of the bar table. I was tired, maybe I would go home after this.

“Would you like to buy a drink?” the bartender asked.

“No, I’m not much of a drinker,” I replied.

The bartender shrugged and walked away.

I saw a quick bouncing blur of pink move towards me. I sighed in fatigue.

“C’mon Rave!” Pinkie Pie said as she pulled on my leg. “Let’s get to partying! The night’s still young and I’m still rolling!”

“Pinkie Pie,” I said wearily, “I’ve just been dancing with you for the past two hours. I need a break.”

Pinkie’s smile faltered for a moment before it came back with full force. “Okie dokie lokey!” And with that, she bounced back onto the dance floor. I loved to party and all, but Pinkie Pie was like an unstoppable party machine. I don’t think she even sleeps at night.

The bartender returned and placed a drink in front of me.

“’I said I wasn’t going to drink anything.” I told the bartender.

“The mare over there requested it for you.” The bartender pointed across the room to a cream colored pony with a burgundy mane. She smiled and waved at me when she saw the bartender point at her.

“I wouldn’t deny a free drink from a lovely mare if I were you,” the bartender whispered in my ear.

He walked away. I looked down into my drink. It was clear and somewhat beige. I put my nose over my glass. I turned away as the smell of alcohol entered my nose.

I looked over at the cream-colored pony and she waved again. I didn’t want to seem impolite. I looked back down at my drink and gulped. I bent down and took a sip from my glass. It actually tasted quite good. I took another sip. Within the next few minutes, I quaffed the whole glass.

After I downed the glass, the mare stood up and walked over to me. She sat in the chair next to me. “What did you think? Manzanilla is my favorite drink.”

Her words sounded far-off. My head started to spin. I shook my head. No! I will absolutely not succumb to the effects of alcohol. “It was great! Thanks for buying me the drink.”

The mare giggled. “No problem. My name is Rose by the way. I love your light shows.”

My head started feeling dizzy, but I got over it. “Thanks! Practice makes perfect,” I exclaimed.

She leaned in and gave me a seductive look. “Why don’t you come over to my place and I’ll give you my own private show?”

My head spun as it tried to process what she was asking. “Umm…. sure?” I replied, the alcohol beginning to do the talking for me.

She gave me a lustful look with her eyes. She stood up and beckoned me to follow.

It wasn’t until we had reached her house until my mind was finally able to interpret what she meant. Private show?! I didn’t even think about ponies that way. I was disgusted by all the rule34 ponies back on Earth. But then again, I was a pony too right? So it wouldn’t be wrong to accept this? It was too late to go back. I had already entered her home.
