Chapter 17: Higher.
The sunlight broke through the curtains, cascading over my eyes.
Wearily opening my eyes, I took inventory of the room I was in.
Sighing deeply, I stretched my legs and got out of the hospital bed.
"Heh, thank the gods for the healing factor" I mused to myself.
A nurse had walked past the room, taking a quick glance in. "oh, you're feeling better already?"
the nurse looked visibly shocked. She watched as I continued to stretch myself out.
"eyup, hell, I feel a lot better, perhaps all I needed was a bit of sleep" I chuckled.
The bags under my eyes were no longer visible, but I still had some form of bed-head.
As I walked through the hospital, I had heard a conversation about books. must be Twilight doing her…rounds? I rushed to the room.
Rainbow dash had crashed again, and was arguing that she didn't need to read a book.
"you do rainbow," I popped my head in, "you'll go stir-crazy otherwise"
she looked at me, seeing I was back on my feet…
"I'd lend you one of mine but they ain't really for ponies" I chuckled.
As the book cart trundled past, I looked over to twilight.
"here, Rainbow, its Daring-do and the"
"yeah yeah, whatever… just set it on the side table" Rainbow Dash grumbled.
As the others walked out, I sat at the edge of the bed.
"Rainbow, books are for lack of a better word, brilliant… I'm sure that if you give it a try, you'll love it"
she looked at me with a frown.
"trust me, ever since I arrived here in Equestria, on the down time, I've been reading a very dark book,
its taken me for about as long as I've been here to get half way" I chuckled as her eyes widened in shock.
"that good?"
"yep" I nodded enthusiastically. "I'll leave you to it"
as I walked out, she re-read the title.
After walking for what seemed like a few minutes, Dr Whooves came running up to me.
"there you are, I've been looking for you, we're about to discharge you"
"awesome"
"just… sign here"
I signed the waiver with a flourish.
Walking through the town, I noticed it had become eerily quiet.
Looking up, I saw why. "well, would you look at that" I chuckled.
It was night, the moon glistened.
Luna had landed right beside me "you're out of the hospital I see"
"yeah" I smiled as I laid an arm over her shoulders.
We continued to walk and talk about things.
I told her about Rainbow Dash, and made a prediction "she's going to read that book, I just know it"
I got to the house, it was quiet.
Too quiet, perhaps it's a P.P party inside I thought to myself.
As I opened the door, the lights came on and I was met with a gigantic "SURPRISE!"
you just had to think it didn't you!
"Whoa, what's the occasion?" I asked, still slightly jumpy.
"you getting out of hospital silly" Pinkie Pie beamed.
Needless to say, the party was good, if not… fuckin awesome.
Pinkie Pie had discovered my abundance of heavy metal and hard rock.
Having that blaring out of the speakers was enough to keep me happy,
she would occasionally throw in some dub-trot stuff.
I noticed three Colts looking at my instruments, one was eying up my drum kit, another was looking at my bass,
and the third had picked up my blue Stratocaster.
"dudes, go for it, I'll be with you in a tick" their eyes widened.
"yo pinkie!" I shouted, "turn the music off for a bit, time for some live stuff"
the band started playing, the bassist attempted some vocals.
His voice was that of Tom Delonge's, fucking whiney as hell.
I covered my ears in discomfort.
I grabbed my Ironbird, and sighed, as I walked up to the colt on the microphone.
"dude, lemme take over" I grinned, he obliged me.
the drums kicked in as I laughed maniacally. Pinkie pie threw me a very recognizable bottle. "it's a party, it's a party" I sung.
as the night went on, i watched as ponies partied hard. i unwrapped the bottle. sweet sweet Jager.
opening the bottle, i took a swig, the liquid pretty much revitalized me. "dude... when its time to party, we will party hard!" shouted. we began a second song, more appropriate for the night. in the end, i was dragged off by a slightly drunk Luna. i looked over her form, but quickly noticed it...
uh oh, Wingboners at twelve o clock i chuckled to myself.
she dragged me upstairs to the bedroom.
as the music died down, the ponies all stopped to listen for a moment, hearing the moans and screams of enjoyment
coming from the upstairs bedroom. within a few moments they had left, due to embarassment.
Pinkie Pie snuck up the stairs, and opened the door. i was lying on the bed with the moon princess on top of me.
her rocking motions sending me to a state of bliss. Pinkie continued her little 'mission' and spotted flecks of white around Luna's mouth,
she was about to gasp, but quickly clamped her mouth shut. she then ran back down the stairs, shocked... but strangly not appalled by the act.
waking up to the sight of the sun once more, i looked around to see a sleeping Alicorn.
as i kissed her on the forehead, she woke up. "you know, i thought you would have gone already" i smiled.
she giggled lightly with a small blush. "i wasnt too... impulsive last night was i?" she asked.
"Lulu, i have a feeling that it would 'stick' with me for the rest of my days" i chuckled, grabbing a tissue to
wipe off the offending substance around her lips. "oh my... Celestia is going to kill me" she groaned.
i leant in and kissed her again, cheering her up. "come on, lets get in the shower"
"together?" her eyebrow raised.
"why not?" i retorted gleefully.
"it was certainly one wild night" i chuckled as i de-tangled her mane.
she giggled as i began the process of de-tangling her tail.
the memories of last night would keep playing in my head from time to time.
after all, its not everyday you can say that you had 'shacked up' with the princess of the night.
