Chapter 8

Intoxicated

The next day, Neo woke up in a good mood. The Equestria Games were to start in a few minutes. Neo wasn't in a hurry to get to the games since he didn't really have much to do today, so Neo decided to stay in his room for a while and drink a few glasses of red wine.

Meanwhile at the stadium, ponies were taking their seats and were getting ready to watch the games. Neo's friends could hardly wait for the games to begin since Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy would be participating in today's event. Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie were in a hurry to get to their seats because they didn't want to miss a minute of seeing Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's game, their event was called the aerial relay.

However when they got to the stadium, security guards were having unicorns go through a security device that was disabling their magic. To prevent cheating, unicorns would not be admitted into the games without disabling their magic. Rarity had no choice but to go through security, so she went through it. The security device disabled her magic, she thought it was unnecessary because she had never cheated in her life, but she had to go through it or she wouldn't be allowed in.

After she went through, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie went into the stadium and they waited for the games to begin. Spike and Chucky were sitting next to them and the Cutie Mark Crusaders were sitting on a row below them.

Right before the aerial relay was to start, Neo finally came to the stadium. Sadly, he felt like he shouldn't perform because he had a little too much to drink.

As he came into the stadium, he saw Ms. Harshwhinny. He wanted to ask her if he could do something else instead of perform, so he went up to her and said, "Ms. Harshwhinny? I know you're really busy, but..."

"What is it?" she said in a rude tone.

"I wanted to ask you if I could do something else for the Games. Y'know, something really worthy of the Crystal Empire's admiration?"

"What are you talking about, you performed for the entire games, what else could you possibly want to do?"

"Uh, well, actually, that wasn't really..."

Ms. Harshwhinny cut him off and said, "That wasn't worthy enough for you? Ugh, for pony's sake! Next thing you know, you'll be asking to put on a rock concert."

Then she walked off, she snorted and said to herself, "Celebrities."

Neo didn't know what he was going to do now, and Ms. Harshwhinny was probably the rudest pony he had ever encountered.

When she was out of sight, Neo said to himself, "Geez, what a bitch."

During the aerial relay, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were up against the Wonderbolts, they did their very best but the Wonderbolts won the game. Applejack said that at least they got silver.

When the aerial relay was over, Neo came out onto the field, and since he was drunk, he couldn't walk very well out there.

Shining Armor approached Neo and said, "Neo, what are you doing?"

"I have to perform for the winners," he was slurring his speech a little.

Thinking he was going to sing the Cloudsdale anthem, Shining Armor said to the crowd, "And now... um... the Cloudsdale anthem, as sung by... Neo Anderson."

"Wait, the Cloudsdale anthem?" Neo said in a surprised tone.

Shining Armor said to Neo, "They only play the anthem for the winner, Neo! The Wonderbolts are from Cloudsdale!"

"But... But I don't know the words to the Cloudsdale anthem! I've never even heard it!"

Everypony was watching Neo, a crystal pony from the crowd shouted, "Sing for us, O Great and Honorable Neo the Brave and Mighty!"

Neo was in a really good mood since he was drunk on red wine, he began playing a song with his mind and he began dancing like a Punk Rocker ("Forgotten Rebel" by The Virus).

Neo danced and danced around the field like a Punk Rocker and sang his Punk Rock song. Everypony stared at him in confusion and wondering what he was doing. His friends couldn't believe what he was doing, singing Punk Rock music and acting crazy in front of everypony when he should be singing the Cloudsdale anthem.

Twilight facehooved herself. She couldn't believe what Neo was doing, and the princesses were just as surprised.

Neo kept singing and dancing like a Punk Rocker. Ms. Harshwhinny saw what Neo was doing and was in complete shock at his behavior, she had never seen anypony act like that. The only pony who liked Neo's song and dancing was Pinkie Pie. Nopony realized that Neo was drunk on red wine, and since all the unicorns had their magic disabled, nopony could stop Neo from acting like he was.

When Neo got to the end of the song, he danced out of the stadium. And when Neo finished his song, he passed out on the ground outside the stadium. Inside the stadium, everypony was still staring in shock at what had just happened. The entire stadium was quiet except for Pinkie cheering in the audience.

Soon after, Twilight went outside the stadium, she found Neo passed out on the ground. She ordered 2 crystal pony royal guards to take him back to the Crystal Palace. The guards took the unconscious human back to the castle. Twilight was very worried about Neo and wondered what had happened to him out there. She was thinking that Neo should probably stay in his room for the rest of the day until he feels better.
