Any Bar in a Storm [closed - pm for invite]

[Bramble Rose]

Rainbow Dash sputtered in surprise at Misty Morning's teasing. [colour=#0000cd]"What?! N-no! I couldn't even tell who was who out in that weather! Between wet goggles and how dark it was, ponies were barely more than shadows! I was focused on the storm!"[/colour]

She sputtered a little more indignantly before finally bursting out, [colour=#0000cd]"And howcome everypony assumes that I have some sort of fanfilly crush on him?!"[/colour] she wailed!

She groaned, and dropped her head onto the bar. It made no sense! She wasn't some stupid fillyish lovesick mare! She was an awesome athlete in her own right, and in no way a silly filly!

[colour=#0000cd]"Thanks, Keep,"[/colour] she groaned, [colour=#0000cd]"But I'm good to fly. If my head hit a pillow I wouldn't wake up for half a day, and I'm team lead. I gotta be back home to Ponyville so I can whip up a small soft white cloud to sleep on at the meeting place for the Ponyville weather team ... mainly so I can tell anyone who shows up for work tomorrow to just go home. But I totally will be on the Wonderbolts!"[/colour] She raised a hoof high in a weary approximation of swearing an oath in confidence.

​

[RarityDash]

[colour=#DDA0DD]"Well of course I am not disappointed! We all have bad days, even the best of us! [/colour][colour=#DDA0DD]Remember when I brought some of my experiments home that one day and caused that horrible stinky cloud that sat in our home for days? As embarrassing, and smelly as that was, it didn't suddenly make me bad at biology, so it is like uh.. You and flying! The same! Umm.. except for the stink of course. Umm.. anyway, you are still awesome and like you said, they had you do the hard stuff, cuz' your awesome!"[/colour]

[colour=#000000]Chaser gave a laugh, recalling the incident in question immediately. It would be hard to forget that one. [/colour]

[colour=#ffffff]"Ah yeah, I remember that! It stunk so bad I had to sleep outside in the clouds for like a week!"[/colour] [colour=#000000]she started, laughing some more. It had hardly been a laughing matter at the time.[/colour] [colour=#ffffff]"But I never once blamed you or thought less of you for that. Actually, I found it kind of cool in a way. There had to be some awesome science involved to make something that smelled as strong as that did!"[/colour] [colour=#000000]she added.[/colour]

​

[colour=#DDA0DD]"Look, it will be our secret, I won't tell them if you won't, 'kay? We'll just talk about how crazy the storm was all night out there, and I'll tell how I struggled and they'll smile; I don't mind. [/colour][colour=#DDA0DD]shall we go out?"[/colour]

[colour=#ffffff]"That sounds great..."[/colour] [colour=#000000]she said fondly returning the mare's kiss happily.[/colour] [colour=#ffffff]"You're the best, Flitter!"[/colour]

[colour=#000000]Cloudchaser smiled and gave a nod. She really was lucky to have somepony like Flitter. Sometimes she wondered what she had done to win such a cool, kind, smart, understanding mare as her. She was happy for whatever it was though. [/colour]

[colour=#ffffff]"Let's go back and join everyone else,"[/colour] [colour=#000000]she said, smiling and leading the mare back out into the bar.[/colour]

​

[AlisonRose]

Misty giggled as Rainbow made some sort of fuss about her having feelings for Soarin.

[colour=#00ffff]"You know hun, you could always just say that you want to be his special somepony. We are all adults here its not like this is Flight School, stallions don't have cooties."[/colour] She giggles again and then looks over at Martini and whispers in her ear.

[colour=#00ffff]"I am one of those Mares who has a thing for the Princess. She really is very very pretty and I can't even see that well. But one thing is for sure that you shouldn't sell yourself short since you yourself are very gorgeous as well."[/colour] A huge grin crossed her face as she quickly and sneakily stares into Martini's eyes before handing her the empty cup that used to hold Lemon Water. [colour=#00ffff]"One more Lemon Water please love, I really shouldn't drink much more before I find a place to sleep and maybe someone to converse with."[/colour] Misty sighed, that was one problem she would have to work out eventually was getting a room here at the bar and maybe even invite Martini over for some good conversation.

[tacobob]

"Oh, yes, that's me all right. I love baking cookies, and sharing them whenever I have an opportunity or an excuse to do so. It's how I got my cutie mark, after all. I sometimes wondered why there were never any left over after I brought a couple dozen in to the factory. I suppose that ponies were saving some to bring home. I'm glad you liked them. Did you have a favorite?"

The weary unicorn smiled as he closed a few of his notebooks and piled them on top of each other, "Well, I guess I really liked those little chocolate wafer-cookies with the minty taste. Those were delectable!", he tried his luck at a proper hoof-shake, but it was obvious he was both tired and rather tipsy. After a few unsuccessful tries, he managed to get his hoof around hers for a proper shake. "Looks like there was some excitement tonight! Nasty weather, but we sure got an interesting group of ponies to help clean up the mess. A few Wonderbolts and even Miss Rainbow Dash to lend a hoof.", the impressed unicorn added, "The weather did a little number of my little archaeologist team's dig. So we came here. And now I'm the only one left. Probably should have gotten my flank home, but the little conversations that have been bouncing back and forth during the last few hour have been terribly amusing. Not like I'm eez-dropping as they're all talking rather loudly.", he smiled rather broadly as he spoke, "Rainbow Dash apparently is head over hooves for her Captain and has been trying desperately not to admit it.", he made a 'hmmm' noise as he tapped a hoof on his chin, "Wonder if it's legal for an subordinate to date her superior officer?"

Another figure entered the 'Ponyland'. This was a red Pegasus mare clad in official R.E.A armor. As she glanced around the club, a look of both annoyance and concern was plastered over her face. After a few quick scans, she located the target of her search and slowly made her way towards the table. As she cantered on, she noticed at least one Wonderbolt, and one of Princess Celestia's champions nearby. Neither of this surprised her as the club was normally frequented by members of the Royal Equestrian Army. A few years back she had attended an event here for one of her brothers when he gained his second silver bar. While it would have been terribly interesting to chat with both ponies of great public importance, she had a job to do!

She made her way towards the table where the white unicorn was sitting and cleared her throat, "You'll have to excuse me miss.", she nodded towards the vanilla custard coated mare, "I'm here for Mister Pocket Change.", she tapped the stallion on the shoulder.

[PedestrianWolf]

[colour=#696969]"Well, I guess I really liked those little chocolate wafer-cookies with the minty taste. Those were delectable!" [/colour]the unicorn stallion said in answer to her question.

[colour=#8b4513]"Oh, thank you!" [/colour]Snickerdoodle replied. The wafer cookies themselves were fairly easy to make, but the mint chocolate coating was a bit more tricky. The chocolate wouldn't temper correctly in humid weather, so she only made them in the cooler months of fall and winter.

She shook hooves with Pocket Change after the third try. It was clear that he was more than just tired, he was quite schnockered too.

[colour=#696969]"Looks like there was some excitement tonight! Nasty weather, but we sure got an interesting group of ponies to help clean up the mess. A few Wonderbolts and even Miss Rainbow Dash to lend a hoof."[/colour]

[colour=#8b4513]"Yeah, when weather like this blows in, every pegasus in the area is expected to lend a hoof, even if they aren't usually weather patrol. I'm pretty certain Miss Dash usually does this sort of thing, and I'm sure having the Wonderbolts[/colour] [colour=#8b4513]helping out was a morale booster for some ponies."[/colour]

And it was true that the conversations in the bar were fascinating. Pocket Change may not have been 'eez-dropping' as he said, but Snickerdoodle sure was. She had been listening to the aqua maned Wonderbolt at the bar hit on the bartender for the past hour or so. Misty Morning, was it? The name was familiar, even though she hadn't seen her perform with the team. And to think, she had been worried about embarrassing herself in front of the elite flying squad members, when here was one flirting absolutely shamelessly with every pretty mare she sat next to! And poor Rainbow Dash, accused of being in love with Soarin'. She loudly denied it of course. Sometimes protesting too much meant you were hiding the truth, and sometimes it meant that you were just sick and tired of the rumors.

[colour=#696969]"Wonder if it's legal for an subordinate to date her superior officer?"[/colour]

[colour=#8b4513]"That I can answer with a definite No. They usually frown on that sort of thing in the workplace. Can lead to trouble and ponies feelings getting hurt."[/colour]

Just then a red pegasus in REA gear entered the bar. Approaching the both of them, she apologized and said, [colour=#800000]"I'm here for Mister Pocket Change."[/colour]

[colour=#8b4513]"OooOoh, busted!" [/colour]Snickerdoodle laughed. [colour=#8b4513]"I guess they had to send the cavalry in after you!"[/colour] She patted him on the hoof and smiled lopsidedly at him. [colour=#8b4513]"It's been nice talking with you. Look me up when you're sober, okay? You know where to find me."[/colour]

Then raising her right hoof in a smart salute, she turned to the red REA mare and said, [colour=#8b4513]"Take 'im away, officer!"[/colour]

[brianblackberry]

[colour=#CC6699]Martini Paradise[/colour]

Martini just smiled calmly at Rainbow Dash as the rainbow maned pegasus finished her frustrated rant. [colour=#cc6699]"Well hon, for what it is worth, I don't think you have a fan filly crush on Soarin'. My foal daughter, she has that kind of crush; you though, it's different; it came off more of just a genuine interest in a pony who likely shares many of the same interests as you do."[/colour] The barmare poured out a glass of ice water, [colour=#cc6699]"I could be wrong of course and you have no interest at all, but I am sure if there is any pony out there you like, it for more reasons than some silly crush."[/colour]

Martini slid the freshly poured glass of icy water in front of Dash, [colour=#cc6699]"I won't tease you anymore about it hon, but be sure to be careful when you fly home alright? Here, drink this before you go, it will help." [/colour] Martini respected Dash's reasons, even if she felt it was a little risky sleeping outside on such a cool, damp night; besides she could see it in the pegasus' eyes there was no way to change her mind.

Of course speaking of Wonderbolts, Martini was stunned when Misty Morning whispered flattering words her way. The compliment caused Martini to blush, something that was no easy feat given the nature of her job; she smiled brightly in response, [colour=#cc6699]"one more lemon water coming right up!" [/colour]

Martini poured out another tall glass of the icy water and delicately placed the last of the lemon slices into the water before sliding it to the waiting hooves of the light blue maned mare, [colour=#cc6699]"here you go hon, and to answer your other question we have several open rooms. Best part is they are all free, courtesy of the owner for all you pegasai have done tonight." [/colour] The pink unicorn bar mare gave a flirtatious wink, [colour=#cc6699] "myself, I am here all night, someone has to mind the inn with the guests, so I am sure I can find some time to chat one-on-one after last call."[/colour]

Before she could say anything else, Martini's attention was suddenly drawn by the newcomer. Of course the bar wasn't closed yet, but it had to be only a couple hours before Celestia's dawn, so it was unusual to have someone enter so late, especially on a night such as this. A customer was a customer though and this pegasus mare was R.E.A. who were always welcome no matter what the circumstances. Before Martini could give her a greeting though, that same ruddy mane announced she was there for Pocket Change.

[colour=#cc6699]"Excuse me miss, is there a problem here at all?"[/colour] Martini was perplexed, Pocket Change didn't look like he was R.E.A and claimed he was an archeologist. As a civilian, he only have to go with the R.E.A. if he broke some royal law, or this was his mate.

[colour=#DDA0DD]Flitter[/colour]

Flitter just laughed quite loudly at her mare's comments about the stink cloud, louder than she should have thanks in no small part to the quantity of hard cider she drunk. [colour=#dda0dd]"Well… The experiment overall was sort of important, but the truth was I was just real tired and mixed some basic chemicals at a quantity I shouldn't of, so really it was a foal like mistake, and nothing cool came of it, unless you wanted to make stink bombs. You wouldn't believe how much chemistry I was required to know just for the biology degree Cloudy."[/colour]

At least her rousing speech but Cloudchaser's spirits back up! Flitter started to walk back out, her steps though were clumsier than usual. [colour=#dda0dd]"Whoa.. I think I'll just lean on you sweetie."[/colour] It took more time having to depend on Cloudchaser to make it back to the bar, but it was well worth it.

Flitter spread her forehooves over the bar counter and laid her chin flat on upon it, [colour=#dda0dd]"I'll take one of those ice waters… Umm, actually, make it two. It was a heck of a storm last night, didn't do nearly well as the natural weather ponies here."[/colour] Flitter looked back at Cloudchaser and gave a huge encouraging smile.

Flitter's smile quickly changed though to one of worry, as it suddenly dawned on her that she didn't know if they had to be home before daytime or not, it was all dependent on Cloudchaser's work schedule. [colour=#dda0dd] "Cloudy… Do you have to be home for weather work tomorrow?"[/colour] If she did, could Flitter fly back tonight? Surrrrrrrre she could!

Well.. maybe.

[Bramble Rose]

Dash nodded and scooped up the glass the keep put down before her, taking a long draw and finishing off half the glass. She was still pretty thirsty, it seemed - but then, cider didn't really 'refresh' so much. Just tasted really good.

She turned back to Misty Morning and gave a sigh. [colour=#0000cd]"And the reason I don't admit it is cause it's not true. Look, I'm not gonna deny he's nice to look at ... really nice to look at. And if he asked me out there's no way I'd say no. But he hasn't, and if I was interested that way I'd ask him out. And I know how fans are, and if a rumor got out about the two of us it'd be all over Equestria in a couple days, and that'd just be frustrating. Hasn't anyone ever believed something about you that wasn't true?"[/colour]

Urgh. She was getting all thought-provoking and stuff... she really was tired, her normally scattered and hyperactive mind was focusing down onto a single path. She used to deliberately try to get this tired in the weather academy, cause this was when she could best do homework and especially could do complex math ... but she just didn't enjoy it

[colour=#0000cd]"Aaaanyway. I really do need to go. Adrenaline rush wearing off, wings rested up ... and a short quick flight home is needed. I have a prescription for six hours of sleep - take two and wake up this afternoon. Thank you for helping, Misty Morning."[/colour] She stood up, and nodded around the bar. [colour=#0000cd]"And to all the weather ponies here!"[/colour] she cried in a louder voice,[colour=#0000cd] "You did AWESOME tonight! The rest of Equestria will probably just be complaining about an unscheduled storm of that magnitude, tomorrow morning, but we know we did incredible work protecting everypony! You all are AWESOME in my book!"[/colour] She lifted up her glass in a toast, and then downed the rest of the water.

​

[tacobob]

"No worries Miss.", the guard pony found a seat near the stallion, "Just had to hunt this fella down cause his sister was worried sick about him. What happened?", she asked Pocket Change as he tried to keep himself from tumbling out of his chair, "Docket found out your dig was canceled and assumed you were hanging around your usual spot. When her meeting with the others was up, she popped over at your old hang out and freaked when you weren't there. Thought maybe the horrible weather blew you away. She ended up having me lend her a hoof and see if I could find you. Of course, this was the last place I bothered to look.", she glanced around the club, "It's been awhile since I hung out at the 'Ponyland'. Good times. Any-who, I was in the middle of looking for your sorry flank when the storm just got worse, so I ended up getting involved with the evacuation and rescue. Once that was taken care of, I continued my search and ended up here. Dockey wants me to escort you home, and she also asked if I could tuck you into bed. That last bit an't gonna happen. For now, I'll just get myself a little something and you can say goodbye to all those you've been hitting on."

She turned her attention to the barmaid, "Hello Miss Paradise, when you can, could you please bring me a nice cup of Chai? I need something to rest my mind and wings."

As the royal guard was ordering up something hot, the stallion let out a weary sigh, "Well, I guess it was nice meeting you Miss Snickerdoodle. If you ever run into Sun Catcher back home, tell her I said 'ello." The weary pony looked as if he had been caught with his hoof in the cookie jar.

[RarityDash]

[colour=#DDA0DD]"Well… The experiment overall was sort of important, but the truth was I was just real tired and mixed some basic chemicals at a quantity I shouldn't of, so really it was a foal like mistake, and nothing cool came of it, unless you wanted to make stink bombs. You wouldn't believe how much chemistry I was required to know just for the biology degree Cloudy."[/colour]

[colour=#ffffff]"Heh, and you learned it all! You're so smart, Flit. I wouldn't even know where to begin with that kind of thing,"[/colour] [colour=#000000]she said with a smile as they moved back toward the bar. Flitter was struggling a lot, she could see. She moved toward the mare to help support her.[/colour]

​

[colour=#DDA0DD]"Whoa.. I think I'll just lean on you sweetie. [/colour][colour=#DDA0DD]I'll take one of those ice waters… Umm, actually, make it two. It was a heck of a storm last night, didn't do nearly well as the natural weather ponies here."[/colour]

[colour=#000000]Cloudchaser just grinned quietly and helped her mare move slowly back to the bar. She nodded when Flitter ordered the ice water. That was probably all they needed at this point. She nodded again when Flitter smiled back at her and then looked at the barmare.[/colour]

[colour=#ffffff]"Yeah, just a water is probably enough for me too at this point,"[/colour] [colour=#000000]she said. After a pause she smiled at the mare.[/colour] [colour=#ffffff]"And... uh... thanks for before,"[/colour] [colour=#000000]she said, remembering how she had encouraged her earlier.[/colour]

​

[colour=#DDA0DD]"Cloudy… Do you have to be home for weather work tomorrow?"[/colour]

[colour=#000000]Chaser looked back at Flitter when she spoke. She shook her head and gave a laugh. [/colour]

[colour=#ffffff]"Nah, I would doubt it," [/colour][colour=#000000]she said.[/colour] [colour=#ffffff]"The schedules all get cleared after these kind of things, and as you know, I'm usually on night shifts anyway. They probably won't want me in again until tomorrow night."[/colour]

​

[AlisonRose]

Misty blushed heavily as her wings extend to full length before quickly wrapping back up. She wasn't used to being so well received by such lovely pony kind. She tilts her head down and mumbles something unintelligent about feeling rather pretty thanks to Martini but still thinking she was the most gorgeous mare she had seen.

[colour=#00ffff]"Well, thank you very much for the amazing Lemon Waters. They tasted so good, I think I will have to make a trip out here once in a while for some of this lemon pie and lemon water."[/colour] Misty nodded her head several times before she sprawls on the bar again and lets out a sigh feeling quite worn out from fighting the storm still.[colour=#00ffff] "You don't happen to give rub downs do you?"[/colour] She looked quizzically at Martini and felt a little embarrassed to ask the barmare to work out her kinks but she seemed skilled at everything else.

[brianblackberry]

[colour=#cc6699]Martini Paradise[/colour]

Martini didn't drink on the job, but she lifted up her own water in response to Rainbow Dash's toast. [colour=#cc6699]"Good bye, Miss Rainbow Dash! Fly carefully on the way home, don't fall asleep in mid-air!"[/colour]

Work called, though, and while Misty Morning was busy mumbling something, Martini had turned back to fill a teacup with water, her horn glowing a moment to bring the water to a boil. She opened up a small wooden box full of tea bags and flipped through them till she found one for Chai tea, lifting it out and letting it soak in the hot water, which she set down before the red guard pony. [colour=#cc6699]"I'm just glad Pocket Change isn't in trouble, then, miss"[/colour]

She turned her attention back to Misty Morning, smiling gladly that she appreciated all the different offers. But then Martini blinked. [colour=#cc6699]"Rub downs?"[/colour] She stopped and thought about it for several long moments, taken aback by the question. That certainly wasn't in her usual job description! [colour=#cc6699]"Ah ... I never have before, but I could give it a try!"[/colour] she said brightly. [colour=#cc6699] "Just a moment, though ..."[/colour]

Martini's eyes were growing heavy though, as she was already up hours past when the place was supposed to close. She created an intangible megaphone with her own soft green magic, calling into it,[colour=#cc6699] "Last Call, everypony! You can get a room in back, or I'll have to ask you to leave after this round, I'm sorry! Thank you so much for protecting all us flightless ponies all night long!"[/colour]

[colour=#CC99CC]Flitter[/colour]

Flitter blushed and squirmed a little - she loved it when Cloudchaser complimented her on her smarts, even when she wasn't feeling that way too much. [colour=#cc99cc] "Well, heh. I learned how to make stink bombs in primaries school,"[/colour] she corrected lightly. [colour=#cc99cc] "I got grounded soooo much back then ... had to sit there in my room all the time. That's actually when I started getting interested in stink bugs, and then other insects, and then I just started reading so much more!" [/colour] She thought about it a moment, then laughed softly. [colour=#cc99cc] "I guess you could say that stink bombs made me into the mare I am today!"[/colour]

She pondered a moment, taking in her own weary wings and Cloudchaser's tired expression. [colour=#cc99cc]"Perhaps we *should* take a room here tonight, and get a good night's sleep before heading back to Ponyville."[/colour]

[PedestrianWolf]

[colour=#cc6699]"Last Call, everypony! You can get a room in back, or I'll have to ask you to leave after this round, I'm sorry! Thank you so much for protecting all us flightless ponies all night long!"[/colour]

Snickerdoodle looked up as the barmare made her announcement. Closing time had come, but at least she had the option to stay in one of the rooms here instead of trying to find her way home. Her plate was empty, so she finished off the last swig of her spiked cocoa and brought her dishes up to the front of the bar. Retrieving a room key, she wandered back to the sleeping areas, waving goodnight to Pocket Change and the red REA mare who had come to collect him. Snickerdoodle found her room and fell into the bed, fast asleep before her head even hit the pillow.

[RarityDash]

"Well, heh. I learned how to make stink bombs in primaries school, I got grounded soooo much back then ... had to sit there in my room all the time. That's actually when I started getting interested in stink bugs, and then other insects, and then I just started reading so much more! I guess you could say that stink bombs made me into the mare I am today!"

Cloudchser giggled. "I get you were super cute back then," she said, grinning.

When she had been a filly, she had been kind of afraid of bugs. Even now, they kind of creeped her out when they had lots of legs. It wasn't a very cool thing to admit though, especially not to Flitter. Either way, her fillyfriend's passion made her glow. Maybe it was kind of weird for such a cute mare to like bugs and stuff so much, especially ones that made bad smells, but it didn't matter. That kind of stuff was what made Flitter perfect in her eyes.

​

"Perhaps we *should* take a room here tonight, and get a good night's sleep before heading back to Ponyville."

"Oh?" Cloudchaser started with a giggle.

"Sounds like a plan to me. It's been a long day. We could use some good rest before we go back!" she added, as she finished her water and stood up.

​

[AlisonRose]

Misty's wings unfolded all the way as she sprawled out a bit leaning into the counter a bit.

"Oh yes, that is very good." She sighs happily as her back and neck a few times as Martini works out the kinks and tension she had from all of the hard work out in the storm.

"So how much would it cost to rent a room and your services for the night?" Misty was hoping that it wouldn't cost too much to rent one of the rooms here at the bar, it was after all a nice place, that she could see. Misty lets her whole body relax as she keeps sipping from her last glass of lemon water, she stood by her previous statement that this was the best lemon water that she had ever had before. Something that Martini did to it was, different, then any other she had tasted. Silkily Misty mumbled something about a room for two before her eyes closed as she softly sighed again.

[brianblackberry]

Martini Paradise

As Martini stood on her haunches and slowly worked Misty Morning's back with her forehooves, she smiled as the Wonderbolt crooned approvingly at her massage skills, "glad I could help here hon. To be honest, I wasn't sure how good I'd really be, I've never done this formally, or had any actual training". She has given massages before, for one reason or another, but it was always an informal or intimate situation and it had honestly been years, Martini was surprised that her massaging skills had not gone rusty with time, either that or any relief the pegasus mare got for her achy back was good right now.

The bar mare laughed when Misty asked about the price of her massage services along with the rooms. "Well as I mentioned a few times to your fellow pegasai, tonight the rooms are free, courtesy of Ponyland! It's for all that you brave flyers did in combating that terrible storm that came out of the Everfree." Martini thought for a moment and snickered playfully, "I guess that means the massage is free too, although I wouldn't have charged ya anyways."

Martini looked up as she continued to kneed at the Wonderbolt's back with her hooves, it was well into the wee hours of the morning! Soon Celestia's sun would rise above the horizon, which meant one thing, "alright ponies, I doubt if anyone is still awake enough for anymore drinks but I still gotta say it! 'Last Call!' " At this point, Martini was sure the remaining ponies were much more interested in sleep than wetting their whistles.

Flitter

Flitter smiled wearily at Cloudchaser; it was clear the bow wearing pegasai mare was feeling the post-cider hangover and her once flirty, giggly demeanor had quickly mellowed out to hazy exhaustion. That and thirst, as she reached over and poured herself a small glade of cold water. "Ooogh, I think I went a bit too far with the apple ciders Cloudy hon…"

Hopefully she didn't act like a total mule earlier. Cloudchaser appeared to be in good spirits, so that was a good sign that things were alright.. Well, usually, and that is what Flitter was going to go with in her mind as she was simply too tired to actually inquire. "Cloudy hon, I think I'm..uhh ready to lay down now…"

Flitter slowly stood up and walked, well more stumbled towards the back and into the same room her and Cloudchaser had talked in earlier with only one thing on her mind… Sleep.

*Exit Flitter*

[tacobob]

"Trouble? This guy is always in some sort of mischief, aren't you?", Fire Walker glanced over at the stallion who had long passed through the gate of Slumberland. "And he's now asleep. Wonderful.". Once the tea was hoofed over, the mare quickly paid for her drink and took a long sip, "Thanks Miss. Hits the spot." She kept quiet and watched as the others came and went. Once she was finished, she tapped the stallion's horn. "Come on Pocket. Time to get up. There's no way in Tartarus that I'll be carrying you back home.", with a few more rounds of nudging, the stallion slowly emerged from his sleep and tried his very best to get out of his chair.

"Come on. Need all four to stand.", the Pegasus coached Pocket Change as he managed to free himself from the same seat he had been using for the better part of the night and early morning. "Come on Pocket, I have to drop you off and then it's back to work for me.", once the white pony appeared to be able to walk on his own, the mare placed a few more bits on her table for a tip and made sure to collect the notebooks that the stallion had left on the table. "Thanks for taking good care of Mister Change here.", she smiled at the mare before she lead the stumbly wumbly unicorn out of the bar.

(Exit Pocket Change and Fire Walker)

[RarityDash]

"Ooogh, I think I went a bit too far with the apple ciders Cloudy hon…Cloudy hon, I think I'm..uhh ready to lay down now…"

Cloudchaser nodded at her fillyfriend and shot her a smile. "Yeah, I think I'll join you, Flit," she said giving a hearty yawn. Sure, she had been unconscious for much of the day, but despite it she was still all achey and exhausted and wanted to rest her concussed head, especially after a night of thinking far harder than she needed too.

"See ya, everypony!" she offered as she stood, waving to the other bar patrons, especially Dash, the Wonderbolts and the bartender herself. She then followed closely after the other pegasus.

When they got to their room, Flitter collapsed almost immediately and was out of it. Chaser gave a small sigh, even though she had expected this. She could tell before that Flitter was tired and probably had drunk a little too much. She gave a small shrug and another yawn and then climbed onto the bed as well. As she waited for the inevitable approach of sleep, she replayed the day in her head, smiling all the while as she stared at the mare lying next to her.

(Exit Cloudchaser)
