Chapter 4
I woke up in twilight's room. It was sometime after noon. She layed in her bed with a big smile on her face, which was about three inches from my own. Her breath smelled of whiskey and it almost made me gag, then I thought that my breath might smell equally as horrible. I went to the bathroom but she only had one toothbrush so I ended up using my hoof to do the job. She woke up shortly after me. She rubbed her eyes as she came into the bathroom. She looked surprised to see me. The surprise quickly faded into calmness. "Hey" was all she said. At that moment I noticed I had a wicked headache. "Where do you keep the aspirin?" "Top shelf on the right, and give me some once your done" she said rubbing her face with her hoof. I took four and swallowed them with water from the sink. I got a glass of water for twi and handed her the bottle. She took six. "ever herd of overdose?" I said. "Yeah I think did drink a little bit much last night." she said with a small laugh "Me to".
"about last night" she started. "you didn't sleep together just because of the booze right?" she continued. "Because I have had those feeling for a long time and I really was hoping we didn't have sex just because we were drunk" "Of course not, Twi" "Oh good, otherwise it would have been awkward" she said. Twilight had taken care of me sense I had woken up in the hospital. She had been my fearless home and I was not going to lose that. We spent the next three months in the same manner. Most were stay at home days.
"welcome to the Canterlot hearts warming eve party!" said the announcer. He was a peppy perfectionist type, with a name somewhere along the lines of terry mint. "this event is supported by sweet apple acre cyder. 'it's the best around'." "whoo! Applejack!" me and twilight screamed simultaneously. The food was great and the festivities amazing.
Later that night princess Celestia requested an audience with me and twilight. "are you two having a good time?" she asked with a smile on her face. I had never met the princess before. She was taller then most ponies, her rainbow mane flowed like a wave of light. "yes we are, your parties are always amazing, especially the gala" they laughed at this, apparently an inside joke. The princess sighed "i have more to talk about then past parties". Twilight instantly sobered up the conversation "what about?" she asked "there are strange events happening in eqestria, we are losing communications with towns to the west and north, the pattern of the lost communications seem to be moving toward Canterlot, the origins seem to be ice blood lake and..." the alicorn trailed off. "and what?" asked twilight frantic. "and the everfree forest" "no, NO!" she collapsed to the ground and started to sob. I held her in my arms like she had for me all that time ago. "shh, shh. Its going to be OK, there all fine and we are going to see them soon" she sobbed quietly for a wile. I did not know weather any of our friends in ponyville were alive The princess stood solemn above us. Her expression hung in the air like a scent of something dead. "we are trying everything we can to figure out what is going on twilight, we will learn who did this" with that statement she left us in our misery. "they were my only friends" she said between sobs.
