With CookieSweets in tow, Thunder Boomer had made it around the castle to the area the VIP lounge was nestled. The party seemed to be jumpin' and a small line had formed on the red carpet leading up to the roped off area. Acting like he knew what he was doing, the pegasus slid into the end of the line. He was a little nervous about what they were about to do, because it appeared the bouncer was checking names on a list. "If he gives us trouble, act upset." He whispered to CookieSweets.

Within a few minutes, it was their turn to enter the VIP section and it seemed it was going to take some finagling to manage it.

"Name?" The bouncer asked.

Thunder boomer glared at him. "What?"

"Sorry sir, we've had trouble with uninvited ponies sneaking into the lounge. We've been told to check everyone now.

Thunder Boomer shot him an angry look before glancing over his shoulder at CookieSweets, pulling the bouncer aside and speaking to him in a low tone while talking very quickly. "Look, I know you're just doing your job, but see that hot filly over there? I told her I was first-stringer, but I'm only a third-stringer. If she found that out she'd dump me in a heartbeat. Now, my name's on that list, but if you go digging around for it, it's gonna cause a scene and she's gonna start to ask questions. I'm sure a great guy like yourself understands right?" As he added the last part, Thunder Boomer slipped some bits into the pony's suit pocket and patted it.

"Oh, uh, yes. Sorry about the misunderstanding sir." The bouncer said and lifted the rope for them.

Thunder Boomer started towards it, but then paused and looked at the bouncer again. "One more thing. There's been this dark green pegasus that has been stalking my date . . a jealous ex or something. It's really upsetting her, and getting on my last nerve. If you see him, will you make sure not to allow him access. I'd appreciate it." Thunder Boomer then turned, and made his way into the VIP lounge. He didn't stop walking until the pair of them were nestled far away from the bouncer's rope.

As CookieSweets followed the pegasus to the V.I.P section she couldn't help but feel excited she's never done anything like this before and when they were approaching the rope the adrenaline rush was outstanding! She started to wonder why she never tried anything this daring before, either way she was happy to have met this eccentric stallion. 'If he gives us trouble act upset' she repeated to herself when it was their turn in line Cookie gave the bouncer a calm and sweet smile as he asked Thunder for his name, but then when the bouncer and him went to the side to have a little chat she took in everything the wonderbolts and the other high class ponies by the time the two got back she was pawing at the ground with her hooves ready to get inside.

Once they passed the bouncer and went far away from the rope Cookie asked "So we're in and almost everypony who is anypony is here. What else do you have in store for this scheme of yours?"

I can't believe that worked! Thunder Boomer thought to himself, as he stood around glancing at all the ponies surrounding them. If he was the type to be starstruck it certainly wouldn't be hard. There were a lot of recognizable faces.

What else do you have in store for this scheme of yours?

"Nothing else. I've been winging it." Thunder Boomer Grinned. "This is the payoff. Better Food, Atmosphere, Better Company," He snagged two glasses of champagne off of a passing waiters tray. "And better drinks. Lets stick to our story though. Which, I must admit, you were a lot better with than I thought you'd be". He passed the second drink to CookieSweets before sampling his own. "Time to hob-nob. You told me you ran your own business, but I don't believe you told me what that was."

"You're smarter than I thought." CookieSweets commented while thinking how everything has gone so smoothly even with the Zephyr thing. She levitated the glass to her muzzle taking a long swig of it "Well I'm glad I past your expectations of who you see me as. I must admit you're more cunning than I previously believed. You have brains, looks and charm quite hard to come by." she froze for a moment Cookie didn't mean to have said that aloud taking another swig and finishing it and grabbed another one from another passing waitress 'It must be the drink . . . ah well it's to good to stop now.' she thought.

"Well actually I run a little store in Manehatten called Sweet Cookie I sell all sorts of varied cookies and even do custom made ones and before you say it yes I know the name of my shop is corny but at the time I thought it was cute."

Thunder Boomer tossed back the last of his glass of champagne and set the glass on a nearby table.

"You're smarter than I thought."

Was that a compliment or an insult? Huh. Probably a compliment.

"I must admit you're more cunning than I previously believed. You have brains, looks and charm quite hard to come by."

Yup. Defiantly a compliment. He didn't get many of those. Peers usually chided him for being an idiot. Then again, she wasn't privy to some of his more dangerous habits. He eyed her as she gulped her first glass of champagne and then proceeded to down another. Daaaamn.

Cookie shop huh? That made sense. Couldn't go wrong with cookies. Nice, safe steady job. . .zzzzzzz. . . Thunder Boomer was starting to get bored again. Small talk always bored him. Now that he knew what she did, he wondered about getting her some of those contacts he promised her. Glancing around, he scoured for an opening to talk to some other ponies

CookieSweets went through her second drink much like first and she grabbed another glass off a table "I hope nopony drank this and if so I hope they weren't sick. . . . . ." she said aloud talking more to herself then her 'date' as she started her third drink Cookie took a quick look around it seemed as if everypony was starting to leave and the crowd was thinning less commotion was going on. She glanced back at Thunder her head a buzz with the few drink she got into her system "Seems like we got here a tad to late huh? All that commotion for a few ponies. You owe me a better date I hope you know that" she commented teasingly then a question suddenly popped into her mind "Well it seems we got a few more minutes to talk so you asked me a few questions now it's my turn. What do you do and where have you come from?"

I hope nopony drank this and if so I hope they weren't sick. . . . . ."

"Oh dear. . ." The mare seemed to be stealing drinks off the table now. He could tell she was starting to become drunk. Apparently she couldn't hold her alcohol.

"Seems like we got here a tad to late huh? All that commotion for a few ponies. You owe me a better date I hope you know that"

Thunder Boomer frowned as CookieSweets pointed out the thinning crowd. They had been kept occupied upstairs far too long he supposed. Oh well. The fun part had been sneeking around. Though, he wished they had more time to revel in their victory. "Sure! I'll take you base-jumping next time."

What do you do and where have you come from?"

Thunder Boomer figured it might be best to follow the crowd and get CookieSweets away from the champagne before she could steal another glass. He really didn't want to try and carry her out. So, he wrapped a wing around her and leisurely guided her toward the exit while he spoke. "C'mon, we better get out of here before somepony realizes we don't belong. . . I grew up in Trottingham, but I mostly wander around. I've never found a steady job that was fun enough to stick with."

The pair continued to walk to the front of the castle, chatting all the way. Thunder Boomer figured he owed the mare some small talk, even if he didn't enjoy it. Soon they walked outside and Thunder Boomer paused to look up and admire the bright stars. "Well. Here we are. Which carriage is yours?"

While being escorted out of the gala Cookie blushed slightly she thought it was because of all the drinks she had but it was really from being so close to Thunder, she was usually always alone in her shop constantly working and cleaning the only contact she got was from customers and her hired help which rarely happened. Sighing happily Cookie deliberately walked a little slower so she could enjoy this moment a little longer and leaned on Thunder because her legs were getting wobbly. As they approached the carriages Cookie looked at them all trying to remember which one was hers then she remembered and pointed with her muzzle to red velvet colour carriage "That one over there"

She couldn't believe it was almost over, Cookie replayed all the tonight's excitement in her head and it was the most fun she ever had! CookieSweets was grateful to have met this crazy Pegasus with his heart in the right place, as she got into her carriage she turned back to Thunder and smiled "Thanks for all the excitement tonight it's one of the best moments in my life. I hope we can meet up again sometime soon, so if you're ever in Manehatten be sure to stop by my shop and I'll make you a dozen cookies for free."

Thunder Boomer wound between parked carriages and led CookieSweets over the carriage she pointed out. He supposed the night hadn't sucked too much and their little side adventure had kept him entertained at least. It was a shame he hadn't been able to keep good on his promise of drumming up more clients for her shop. CookieSweets didn't seem to mind though, so he supposed it was okay.

". . . if you're ever in Manehatten be sure to stop by my shop and I'll make you a dozen cookies for free."

They arrived at the carriage and like a gentleman, he opened the door for her and smiled. "Yeah sure, why not? I'll try and look you up next time I'm out that way." He wasn't sure when he'd ever get out to Manehatten, but life could be funny that way. "Have a good night."

This was the last few minutes Cookie had with Thunder and she was going to savor it for as long as she could. "Well thanks again for tonight it was great and I had lots of fun. It will probably be a while till we see each other for a while so be safe your little schemes are well thought out but it can get you in trouble without me being able to cry our way out of it" she laughed and sighed with a look of content on her face 'One more quick adventure Cookie and make it count' she thought to herself and gave Thunder a quick peck on his muzzle and closed the door asking the pony who was pulling her carriage to start their long journey home. As the carriage pulled off she waved at Thunder "You have a good night as well" she called "Stay well!"

Thunder Boomer blinked in surprise at the peck and thoughtfully brought his hoof up to the spot she had kissed as he watched Cookie climb into the carriage and shut the door. As the carriage rolled away he smiled and waved at her.

Nope. Tonight hadn't been too bad at all.

Thunder Boomer watched the carriage until it rolled out of sight before spreading his wings and taking off into the night sky. He was still wearing the wonderbolts uniform, and he wondered now what he was going to do with it. Oh well. He'd think of that later. Thunder Boomer did a loop and put on a burst of speed, disappearing into the darkness.

[End]
