It is a warm sun shiny day in Ponyville. The birds were chirping and a pink pony was bounding around town on a pair of springs. A white Unicorn with a dark brown mane was trotting through the square wearing a white lab coat and a Beaker cutie mark on his flank. As he was trotting towards his lab to continue an experiment he was working on a maroon colored Pegasus with a pair of anime glasses for a cutie mark fell in front of him. "Still working with Rainbow Dash on your flying Maroon?" He asked. Maroon stood on all fours and replied "Yea, she's really working me over. Right now we're just working on conditioning my wings to carry my weight. She's a little annoyed that I never worked on them before." He said. "So Bunsen do you want to go to sugar cube corner and chill for a bit?" "Nah, I'm feeling spirited today. Let's go over to the hooded mare for ale." Suggested Bunsen Burner. "Alright I suppose we could," said Maroon waiving the white flag of defeat. So they walked to the Hooded Mare to grab a couple of ales before they returned to Bunsen's lab for SCIENCE. When they walked in they caught a familiar smell of hops as it wafted through their nostrils. "Oh how I love the smell of hops. I once used a ton of hops for an experiment." Bunsen stated. "How'd that go?" asked Maroon. "I got really, really, really drunk because I thought it would help increase my brain power and allow me to have more successful experiments." Bunsen stated. "And how did that work out?" Maroon asked. Bunsen looked down at the ground as he dug into the wood floor boards. "I just woke up this morning. I was in a drunken coma for a month." "That explains why no one has seen you for that long. Princess Twilight was getting a little bit worried about you." Maroon said. "Anyways" continued Bunsen "I spoke with the Princess when I woke up and explained my experiment with her. She thinks it's a good idea but for me to reverse the brewing process, which is what I attempted to do but I ended up drinking the whole concoction which was the equivalent of 3 kegs. I'm lucky I'm still alive and that I had a device to purify my liver." "Do I dare ask why you had such a device on hand?" Maroon stated "Past failed experiment," Bunsen said bluntly "I'm glad I had it but that's beside the point. This looks like a good spot." They took a seat in the corner of the pub when a pink pony popped out of nowhere and scared them. "Damn it Pinkie!" Bunsen exclaimed while holding his chest where his heart was. "You about scared me to death. I've already had one near death experience today, I don't need another one." "I'm sorry guys. What're you up to?" asked Pinkie Pie. "Well Bunsen just woke up this morning after getting near dead drunk and so we're celebrating his being alive by drinking more ale." Maroon said flatly. "I see. Well if you guys wanna have a good time with me and the rest of the ponies' just swing on by sugar cube corner. We got an all-night party going on." With that said Pinkie Pie threw down a flash pellet and was gone. "All the science in the world couldn't explain how she does the things she does." Bunsen stated with an astonished look on his face. After that ordeal a light blue earth pony walked towards them and took their orders. After they had a few drinks they both went their separate ways and Bunsen began working on another experiment.
