Chapter 4
I woke up with a minor headache and went to the kitchen, finding a pot of fresh coffee. I made a cup and began to sip on it, feeling my headache slowly slip away, remembering what happened last night only a couple minutes after the pain becomes too miniscule to notice. I smiled as I thought about the events of the party. Rarity walked into the kitchen with a messy mop of bed head and the shirt she wore to the party, her pants and shoes discarded revealing a rather funny pair of purple panties with numerous white cartoon kitten heads making different faces. I couldn't help but chuckle as she walked over and got a cup of coffee before walking over and sitting across from me at the average sized square table, "Morning fashion queen..sleep well?"
She looked at me with a very terd expression, "Somewhat..Yes..but I knew I shouldn't have had that third bottle of hard cider..gods my head hurts.."
"Don't drink much do you?" I asked with a smirk as I took a sip from my French vanilla flavored cup of coffee.
"Only when Pinkie throws a welcoming party or adult birthday party during AppleJack's Cider Season..It helps me loosen up a good bit..but I always end up regretting it the next morning..Im glad Sweetie Belle decided to have a sleep over with Apple Bloom yesterday..I don't think I could handle her hyper-activeness with a headache like this.."
"Yeah..for an alcoholic beverage that doesn't burn your throat very much..it's pretty damn strong..I had a minor headache from drinking one bottle..and a glass of it that AppleJack gave me for helping her with the first harvest..the bottle wasn't as good as the glass..but I guess that was cause it was freshly brewed..she did say it was the first glass of the season.."
She smirked lightly at me, "Lucky..that's pretty much one of if not the biggest honor you can get from Apple Jack..normally she drinks the first pint as soon as it's done…"
"Wellp.." I took another long sip from my coffee, "I guess I feel honored then…" suddenly there was a flash about a foot above the table and a scroll dropped down about a foot infront of me. Curious, I picked up the kaki colored roll of stationary and undid the midnight blue ribbon holding it closed, opening it and a gold ticket with silver writing dropped to the table. The scroll it's self just had a date a bit over a week away. I put the scroll down and picked up the ticket, reading it, "You are invited to the Grand Galloping Galla Present this ticket to the guard to enter.."
Rarity gasped dramatically and I just looked at her in confusion, "Oh my gods you got an invite to the Galla…"
"Is it that big of a deal?And what's the Grand Galloping Gala?" I asked obliviously.
She stared at me with a face of extreme surprise, "It most certainly is..it's only the biggest and most exclusive party in all of equestrian..only certain people are invited, most of them celebrities or nobles..but me and my friends received our invitations a week or so ago..you simply must let me make you something nice to wear there.."
I stared at the ticket for a minute, wondering why I was invited if this party is so exclusive, "Sure..why not?" I replied after a few minutes and she sort of squealed in excitement, any hint of her hangover now apparently gone.
"I need to get started before my inspiration disappears.." She jumped up and sprinted to her work room.
I smirked and finished off my coffee before getting up and heading towards the front door, calling a farewell to Rarity before walking out the door into the early morning sunlight. I spent a good couple hours wandering around Ponyville, trying to get a feel for the layout of the town. Soon I came apon an old-time styled school house. I was about maybe ten feet from the door when the bell rang and I heard an authoritive female voice call, "Don't forget tomorrow is Show and tell..bring something or some one and tell us about it or them..Scootaloo, Silver Spoon, Dimond Tiara, stay until the others are all gone..I need to have a word with you.." and I stepped to the side as several young kids walked out the front door. I walked around and heard the voice say, "Now what happened?"
"I was just minding my own business and she just walked up and punched me.." said a younger snarky female voice.
"Yeah!.."agreed another young voice I didn't recognize.
"Now that's a bold faced lie..you two were being mean and making fun of me and I finally ran out of patience when you called me a bastard little orphan.." said the unmistakable voice of my younger Sister with anger.
"Scootaloo!We do not use that kind of language missy..since we have no witnesses to support your claim..you will stay after class every day for the next two weeks and clean the calkboards and erasers.."
"WHAT?!That's not fair!"
I peeked through a window and saw four people, a woman with purple skin, white and pink hair, and green eyes in a pupleish maroon skirt, black legings, black heels, and a light green button-up shirt, Scootaloo, two other girls, one with pink skin, white and lavender hair, and blue eyes in a yellow jacket, black shirt and shorts, white skirt, a tiara, and white and light purple boots, the other had very light grey skin, grey and silver hair, and purple eyes with blue glasses, a blue pearl necklace, a white and purple school girl shirt, a white and magenta skirt, and purple boots, "You three are dismissed.." the adult went and sat at her desk and began grading papers. Scootaloo walked out of the school house in anger and sadness, the two girls high-fiving and walking after her.
I went back around and heard one of the two say, "Later talentless chicken bitch.." and they both laughed as they walked away, one laugh sounding very very forced. I walked over to my sister as she sat, sobbing in anger and annoyance.
"Hey sis..something got you down?" Her reaction was imeadiate as she tuned around and lept at me, hugging me tight as she cried against my shoulder.
"I-I..h-hate..sch-school..s-so mu-huch.." she said between sobs. I could do little more than hold her close as she sobbed. Soon her sobs quieted and her breathing turned slow and rhythmic. Holding her close, I walked towards the boutique, hoping to spend a bit of time with her when she woke up.
