Chapter 100: It's About Time 7

"Blueblood, I know you're trying to research as much as you can about Tirek and all that, but can we, And I mean this from the bottom of my heart when I say this, Can we please not spend another day in the library?" Starlight Glimmer was losing her mind from boredom, there were only so many days in a row she could spend in a library before even she started to get annoyed.

"Starlight, I already told you fifty thousand times, Something happened with Tirek and I have no memory of it, If I want to figure out what that son of a bitch was doing, I need to learn as much as I can about him, and if that means reading every single book in the Archives that goes over Tirek, then I'm going to do so," Prince Blueblood Platinum said, not bothering to look at his friend as he read through yet another autobiography of some historically significant individual that was alive and in Equestria when Tirek first attacked.

"Look, I get that, But we've spent three days in a row here, You're even getting the staff to bring you food, and the only times you leave is to use the restroom and sleep, I haven't seen you this focused about something since the week preceding the Caninia trip, I'm actually debating whether I should just leave you here alone, take Comet out for a walk or something, anything to stretch my legs," Starlight frowned as she stretched her legs, a sound similar to creaking floorboards sounding out as she did so.

"Your legs aren't supposed to sound like that," Blueblood pointed out before flipping the page, already noting to himself that the book he was reading was as useless as the rest.

"Those weren't my legs, Unlike you, I'm not a Pirate junkie, I haven't replaced them with wooden pegs yet," Starlight rolled her eyes before looking at a painting on the wall, noting the eyes of the painting motioning her to come over.

"Key word being Yet," Blueblood huffed as he threw the book down to a large pile of other biographies and historical accounts, before grabbing a new book from a different pile and opening it, "Also, Tell Raven to cancel the next two days of my schedule,"

"Will do," Starlight grunted as she stretched her aching back, cringing at the popping sounds coming from her spine before she walked out of the library door and into the empty hallway outside.

She didn't have to wait long before one of the paintings on the wall opened up, Raven Inkwell walked out into the corridor, and the two mares shared a look of exasperation before Starlight pointed her chin towards the door she just came from.

"Colts." She said with a roll of her eyes, the Earth Pony joining her before the two left to get lunch.

"Aargh!" Back inside the Castle Library, Prince Blueblood was pulling at his mane, "You're telling me that Tirek has been in Tartarus for over one thousand years, and not one person thought it might be a good idea to even try and get a read of his goals, his psychology, his past, anything?! This is actual dogshit! None of this is usable!" Blueblood had to physically stop himself from picking up the nearest chair and throwing it as hard as he could at the wall.

Blueblood took a deep breath and closed his eyes, holding the air in his lungs for several moments before he let it out in a slow and relaxing exhale, with but a thought he turned off all the magic he was using, several levitating books falling to the floor as he did so.

And with slow and tiring effort, Blueblood opened his eyelids, revealing a pair of Ice-blue bloodshot eyes, the Illusion he cast over his face now gone, the usually handsome prince now replaced with a Stallion who looked like he really needed a break.

"All I got is the Forbidden Section to check, and then I'm getting a fucking vacation," He whispered to himself, rubbing his leg over his face, "Chrysalis tries to assassinate me, A Week later I finally go for the Deer and come back with no questions answered and more brought up, and not even a full week later Tirek escapes Tartarus, does something to me, and then gets thrown back into a cell with no interrogation and barely any extra security, I'm starting to get grey hairs and I'm only 29..." A tired groan escaped his throat as he leaned his head on the table.

"If Someone had told me, that it would be more tiring to play the game of Politics than it was to take down International Arms Dealers in Cambodia, I would have told Albatross he's smoked something wrong, But now I'm not so sure," He whispered, closing his eyes for but a moment to let them rest, planning on getting some eye drops and a bunch of cheap energy drinks brought to him soon.

"Hey, Blueblood, Wake up," He sighed as he heard Starlight try and get his attention, Already back from whatever Girl's talk she and Raven were having.

"Just a moment," He mumbled, still letting his eyes rest, weakly pushing Starlight's leg away when she tried to shake him.

"Blueblood, It's Nine in the evening, Wake up," Starlight's words elicited a groan from the Prince, who slowly and weakly opened his eyes and turned to look at his Purple coated Bodyguard.

"Oh my, Blueblood, what happened to your eyes?" Starlight took a step back when the pair of bloodshot orbs stared at her, the irises blurry and unfocused, as if the Prince wasn't actually looking at her but at something behind her, "Never mind, You need to get some rest!"

"No time," Blueblood weakly said as he slowly stood up on shaky legs, "I need to go through the Starswirl wing, and then take a look if the Mistmane wing has anything about Tirek or the..." Blueblood's legs wobbled as he seemingly dozed off before continuing, "Centaurs! Or maybe Gargoyles.... None of these books have anything about either of them! and Tirek's brother has only been mentioned in two of them..." Blueblood yawned, his jaw almost seeming to dislocate with how big he opened his mouth, "I still don't know how he was defeated, All these papers are saying is that Scorpan, that's his brother, Betrayed him, and then Starswirl, who wasn't yet bearded, sprung a trap. There's no mention of what the trap was, there's no mention of how Scorpan betrayed him, There's no mention of anything else, FUCK! I'm pretty sure Starswirl and Scorpan were having an affair, and I'm not even sure if that's true or not, but it sure is hell more than I know about anything Tirek did!" Blueblood started to march around the table in the middle of the floor.

"Blueblood, you're tired and you're stressed, I am suggesting, not as your bodyguard, [i]but as your friend[/i], that you go to sleep, You clearly need it," Starlight said gently, trying to coax the prince into giving his search a rest.

"Starlight you don't get it!" Blueblood said hurriedly, "It's only a matter of time before Tirek escapes again, and I need to be able to defeat him when that happens!"

"You don't need to defeat anyone, except maybe Chrysalis, Why do you even care so much?" Starlight asked.

"Because then I can point at Celestia and say 'I told you so!' and she'd say something along the lines of 'Oh wow, it seems you're ready to take on some more important tasks,' And I'd wave my hoof at her like, 'Oh you, I was just doing what any Prince would do,' and then she'd give me some actual form of authority here in Equestria because I'm doing more than Cadance is and I'm kind of tired of still being lower than her in the line of succession, And also because I seem to be the only person in this castle that actually cares about security! We can't all rely on these Elements of Harmony, In a year all they did was stop Nightmare Moon and then turn some asshole named Discord into a Statue, do you have any idea what I've done in that time?!" Blueblood huffed tiredly before pausing, only to then start giggling to himself as if he thought of a funny joke only he got, "Starlight, get me some energy drinks, NOT coffee, I need something cold, And get it to me quickly!" Blueblood yelled before he turned away from Starlight and started running deeper into the library.

"...Why would you want more work?" Starlight shook her head before sighing tiredly and leaving the library, walking to get the Prince's energy drinks, making sure she walked slow enough so that hopefully he'd fall asleep before she returned.

---------------------------------------

Sneaking through the streets of Canterlot, Twilight Sparkle had her eyes set on Canterlot Castle, or more specifically, at the Spire of the Castle that constituted the Canterlot Archives, or to be even more specific, the Starswirl the Bearded wing of the Archives, were some of the most protected spells and information was kept.

"Why are we even sneaking around?" Spike the Dragon asked, his clawed feet tapping on the cobbled roads of Canterlot as he followed Twilight, "It's not illegal to walk around at Night,"

"We're supposed to be sneaking? I just thought we wore these sneaking outfits for the aesthetic," Pinkie Pie asked as she bounced after Twilight, the Unicorn dashing between bushes and hiding behind statues as the group made their way closer to the Castle.

"Guard!" Twilight suddenly yelped, Jumping into a bush, accidentally ripping a part of her skintight sneaking suit that definitely was not bought at an adult store.

Following Twilight's example, Pinkie Pie jumped into a nearby fountain while Spike ran to pose beside one of the many statues that decorated the path toward the Castle.

The group waited for the pony wearing the dark blue armor of the Night guards to pass by before crawling out of their hiding spots.

"This is fun!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed as her head popped out of the fountain, her skintight black suit making squeaky noises as she followed Twilight.

"No, This is not fun!" Twilight turned to tell her friend before she dashed into another bush, only to immediately jump behind a bench, following up by rolling underneath the legs of a statue.

"Oh..." Pinkie Pie said as she turned to look at Spike, neither of them following Twilight's Example of Sneaking, "I still don't understand how sneaking into the archives is going to help her find out about her birthday present,"

Spike answered by shrugging and taking a lick of his triple-scoop tower of Ice Cream.

---------------------------------------

Gently opening the bottom of the window, Twilight Sparkle looked left to right before nodding that the coast was clear of guards.

"Okay, The coast is clear, now slowly lift me u-" Her words cut off as a Pink earth Pony threw her head first through the open window, not caring for the sounds they were making as they followed Twilight into the Castle.

The group hid behind a turn in the corridor, hiding from the searchlight of a passing guard.

They then snuck behind a pair of guards who were staring out the window, hoping the two wouldn't turn around.

Or, at least, Twilight was sneaking. Spike was casually licking his Ice Cream while Pinkie Pie was happily bouncing after her.

"Hey Doorknob, Did you hear something?" Asked one of the guards.

"Nope," The second guard answered before the two returned to silently staring out the window.

"Okay, If my calculations are correct, the Starswirl the Bearded wing should be right around here!" Twilight whispered as she stood up after twenty minutes of sneaking around.

"Uh, Twilight?" Spike raised his hand to ask a question.

"What is it, Spike?" Twilight responded quietly.

"Isn't this the window we came in from?" Spike pointed at the nearest window, which as it turned out, was the exact same window she came in through.

"Cool, Can we climb through the window again?" Pinkie Pie asked before jumping out the window and climbing back in, "That was super fun."

"I don't understand..." Twilight started to walk in circles, "It's supposed to be right here, How are we supposed to find it now?" Her mind began to race, was there perhaps a magical spell hiding the wing from trespassers? Was the place perhaps under renovation, and so they moved everything somewhere else?

Or perhaps Twilight Sparkle was simply sleep-deprived and didn't see the door leading to the Starswirl the Bearded Wing.

Something which became apparent when Pinkie Pie pointed at the sign over the secure door.

"..." Twilight turned away from her friend and stared through the metal bars securing the door, like a prison cell of knowledge, "Look at all those priceless scrolls..." She whispered as she took a cursory look at the entrance of the Wing.

Now came the question, How do they get inside?

-----------------------------------------

Prince Blueblood felt like slamming his head against the table, and so he did that.

"Useless! This entire wing is Useless!" He yelled before standing up and walking to the only window in the Archive wing he was staying at, "So many scrolls of advanced spells and ancient knowledge, and none of them tell me anything about Tirek!" If he could, he would have thrown something against the window just to hear the glass shatter.

His vision was starting to blur, His legs wobbled as he stood in a daze, each page taking several minutes to read through sluggishly.

"Caw!" Blueblood frowned as he stared at a bird on the other side of the window.

"Red? Probably one of Celestia's Zookeeping pets from her bullshit sanctuary," Blueblood groaned as he tried to focus on the red bird outside the window, "What? Are you looking at something? I'm wide awake, Fit as a fiddle, and can keep going for hours! I'm not tired!" He could barely see the bird through the fog covering his eyesight, but he felt as if the Bird was looking down at him.

Pitying him.

"Hah? Don't look at me like that, Asshole! I'm one of the Richest ponies alive, I can do whatever I want!" He taunted the bird, "I'm the textbook definition of freedom, baby! So don't you dare look down on me like you know something I don't!" He slammed his hoof against the window, the secure glass only causing his hood to bounce right off, the weak flash of pain causing a bit of clarity to return to Blueblood, as he looked back at the window only to find the bird gone.

"Yeah. Fly away! Like the coward you are..." Blueblood sneered at the tree where to bird previously sat.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of the door to the wing open up, and as if a bucket of ice had been dumped on his head, Prince Blueblood was wide awake.

"Three pairs of hooves? No, Two pairs of hooves are walking, the third pair is actually four hooves all moving in sync. Bouncing? That would explain the sounds, but why bounce? And what about the last pair of... Footsteps? A Harpy? or perhaps a Diamond Dog? A small one in any case..." Blueblood felt his horn pulse with the soft touch of Magic, his body disappearing as it melted into an Illusion.

"Now, Who are you..." He whispered under the cloak of invisibility, Another pulse of magic grabbing a nearby pen from the table where he hoped to write down notes.

The pen flew at Blueblood, before being caught in mid-air, another pulse of magic caused the pen to bend and break, the pieces then melding together into the shape of a shiv, held together with blue lines of magic, levitating invisibly in the Prince's grasp.

-------------------------------------------

"I didn't expect the door to be unlocked..." Spike said as he took one last lick of his Ice Cream before eating the cone in one bite.

"We're lucky..." Twilight breathed heavily as she listened to the guards hoof steps walk further away from the door, "That nopony saw us..."

"What do we do know?" Pinkie asked as she peeked her head from behind a bookshelf.

Twilight turned to answer, only to spot her reflection in a nearby mirror, "Oh no, This is exactly how Future Twilight looked! All the signs are here!" She turned to her friends, "We need to find the Time Stopping spell to make sure the Disaster never arrives!"

-------------------------------------------

Keeping his body close to the floor in a dark corner of the Archives wing, Blueblood Platinum felt right at home, lying on his stomach, keeping his eyes on the intruders.

Once they find whatever it is they're looking for, he'd intrude on their little party.

The one with the ripped outfit was a Unicorn, who knows what Magic she has?

The bipedal one was an Unknown creature, too dangerous to try and take him.

But the bouncing one? Earth Pony, voice seems to indicate early to mid-twenties, Speaks a lot, Seems to not know the depth of the situation she was in, Perfect for interrogation.

Now, Interrogation wasn't his Strongest field, Information gathering was always Heron's job, But that doesn't mean he was useless at it.

And besides, Staying low for hours at a time was what he did.

He might be sleep-deprived and stressed out, But for the moment, Blueblood Platinum felt as awake as he ever was.

"Keep your eyes on the target..." He whispered to himself, his eyes following the trio through a pair of Silver Orbs, hidden under an Illusion close to the ceiling.

--------------------------------------------

Twilight was searching scrolls and books for the spell she could use to stop time. A minute turned to ten, Twenty minutes turned to an Hour, and an hour into two.

"Twilight," Twilight's turned to look at Spike, the baby dragon pointing at the only window in the wing, "The sun is rising,"

"It's officially Tuesday morning..." Twilight whispered in Horror before curling up into a ball and holding on to her head, bracing for the inevitable arrival of the horrible Disaster.

"Nothing's happening..." She whispered after twenty seconds, deciding then to stand back up and look out the window, Watching the sun calmly rise from behind the horizon, "There's no Disaster..."

"I mean, I don't see any disasters," Spike nodded before taking off the black skintight hood of the sneaking outfit he wore, "It looks like a pretty nice day,"

"But... Why? Future Twilight said she was from Tuesday Morning, Today! The Disaster should have happened by now..." Twilight looked at the nearby songbirds on a tree, singing the song of the morning.

"Maybe there wasn't a disaster to begin with?" Spike asked, "What if you already solved it without realizing and then spent the rest of the week stressing out for no reason?"

"You mean... I did all of this for nothing?" Twilight quietly asked as she blankly looked at the songbirds.

"I wouldn't say for nothing, You still Disaster proofed Equestria, remember?" Spike smiled awkwardly at his attempt to cheer his sister up.

"So... I was making myself frantic over nothing?" Twilight and Spike turned away from the window.

"I don't get it, If future Twilight wasn't warning you about a Disaster, then what was she trying to tell you?" Spike asked.

Twilight thought those words over for a moment before a soft giggle escaped her lips as a smile appeared on her face, "I don't know, But I do know one thing," She touched the bandage wrapped around her head with her leg, "I look ridiculous," The two sibling started laughing.

"And It's all because I couldn't stop worrying and let the future handle itself," Twilight smiled at the thought, her Friendship Lesson of the week already prepared.

"Well, Not anymore! From now on, I'm gonna solve problems as they come-" Twilight froze as a cough sounded behind her.

"What's wrong?" Spike turned to look at Twilight, watching his Sister's eyes frantically move all over the empty Archives in search of something.

"Hey, Spike..." Twilight took a step back, her eyes looking at the window on the wall as if expecting something to come crawling in through it, "Why was the door to the Starswirl the Bearded wing unlocked?"

"I don't kn-"

"Twilight Twilight! I found something!" The Sibling's train of thought was interrupted by Pinkie Pie dropping by, her Hood no longer covering her mane, as she held a scroll in her hooves.

With a purple glow to her horn, Twilight took the scroll and levitated her towards herself.

"It doesn't stop time, But it lets you go back in time. It says you can go back once and It only lasts for a few moments, Does that help?" Pinkie asked with a Smile.

Twilight shook her head to clear the worry away, "Pinkie, You're a genius!" 

Pinkie cheered at the compliment.

"Now I can go back in time and tell past Twilight that she doesn't need to go berserk with worry about a Disaster that's never gonna' come!" Twilight started to get ready to cast the spell, her legs spread in a wide stance, her eyes closed in concentration as her horn started to gather energy.

Only to stop quickly and open her eyes as a scream of fright entered her ears.

"You finish that spell and your pal gets a new breathing hole!" Twilight immediately dropped the Spell and turned to see Pinkie Pie being held down by a White Unicorn, his wavy blonde mane was frazzled and unkempt, his Ice-Blue eyes were bloodshot and piercing, and beside Pinkie's neck levitated a makeshift knife, one wrong move promising a quick end to the Earth Pony.

"Woah! Hold on hold on hold on! Don't hurt her!" Twilight Yelled, Her eyes widening at the hostage situation she suddenly found herself in, "She was helping me, I can explain everything! Please! Put the knife down!" Twilight felt her legs weaken at the danger in front of her.

"Your explanation for why you broke into Canterlot Castle, trashed one of the most secure Archives in the world, and then planned on casting a Spell that was locked here, all in the span of a few hours, better involve saving Orphans dying of cancer, or else this carpet might be getting a new shade of red introduced..." The White Unicorn growled at Twilight, the Shiv still pointing at Pinkie Pie's neck.

Spike was seemingly paralyzed in fear, the simple thought that he could be watching one of his best friends die in front of him was more than enough to get the Young Dragon to shut down.

"Okay! Please listen to me, Don't hurt her-" Twilight tried to calm the Unicorn down.

"SPEAK!"

Twilight hurriedly nodded her head and introduced herself, "My name is Twilight Sparkle-"

"Occupation and place of living?"

"Wha-" Twilight blinked at the sudden question.

"What's your job and where do you live? Are you slow or something?!" The Unicorn barked at her, the knife poking a soft part of Pinkie's neck, not hard enough to draw blood but definitely enough to be felt.

"I'm a Librarian from Ponyville!" Twilight hurriedly answered, "A week ago I got a message from myself from the Future,"

"Okay, So you're not only stupid, You're a fucking schizophrenic as well," The Unicorn said, ignoring the wide smile on his hostage as her eyes seemed to widen with recognition.

"No silly! Twilight Sparkle is the Element of Magic, Don't you know that?" Pinkie Pie's smile seemed to stretch to the corners of her face, "Pirate Wizard?"

As soon as the last two words exited her mouth, Pinkie Pie found herself being thrown away from the Unicorn, her body rolling on the floor for a bit before crashing into Twilight's wobbly legs and downing her like a Bowling pin.

"Fuck! Why are you here?!" The Unicorn yelled as he threw the Shiv into the ceiling, the makeshift weapon breaking against the stone, "Don't tell me... NO! I refuse to accept that!" The Unicorn pointed angrily at Pinkie Pie.

"Wait..." Spike whispered as his mind seemed to turn back on, "Prince Blueblood?"

"NOOOO!!!!" Prince Blueblood collapsed to his knees, a look of defeat on his face as he stared at the Pink Devil who smiled widely as she bounced closer to him, pulling the Platinum Prince into a soft pink hug.

"I missed you too! Sorry that your Birthday didn't turn out so good! I promise I'll make you one much better next year! It'll have twice the balloons and twice the cake! We're gonna have twice the fun!" Pinkie Pie's hug turned softer as she started nuzzling her cheek against the Prince's cheek in an attempt to stop the tears from escaping his eyes.

"Equestria is doomed..." He whispered underneath his tears, no longer trying to pry the Pink Devil from his shoulders, "The Elements of Harmony are Idiots... We're all going to die..."

"Wait... Prince Blueblood? What are you doing here?" Twilight calmed down as she watched the situation defuse.

"What am I doing here?" Prince Blueblood repeated her question, his tired eyes turning to glare at her, "I LIVE HERE!!! WHOSE CASTLE DO YOU THINK YOU SNUCK INTO?!?!" His yell turned into sobbing as Pinkie Pie hugged him tighter.

"There there pookie bear, Let all the sadness out," She whispered as she started rocking him back and forth.

"You-" Blueblood turned to Twilight, the intensity in his eyes causing the Unicorn to take a step back, "You broke into the castle, because a Future version of you came to tell you, that an unspecified Disaster was going to happen, And you didn't stop for a second to think if you're maybe hallucinating?"

"...Well, When you put it like that," Twilight scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.

"...I'm surrounded by Idiots, everyone around me is an Idiot, I finally figured it out, I'm the only smart person he-he-he-here!" Blueblood started speaking before devolving into more crying, causing Pinkie Pie's Power of Pink Puffiness to swell as she hugged him in a much softer embrace than before.

"...Go, Close the Time Loop or whatever, Don't let the past version of yourself physically interact with you and all that yada yada Paradox bullshit, Just... Just go... I'm not Drunk enough to deal with any of you..." Blueblood closed his eyes and lowered his head in defeat, The previously intimidating Unicorn now looking like a tired mess.

Twilight smartly decided that she wouldn't take this chance for granted as she cast the spell and disappeared from the Canterlot Archives, only to reappear two second later "-Stop wasting your time worrying about... Ugh, I can't believe I just did that!"

"Did you get your message across?" Pinkie Pie asked from her spot laying in Blueblood's lap like some sort of oversized puppy, her legs latching onto the defeated Prince and hugging him in an attempt to put a smile on his face.

"Of course she didn't," Blueblood said weakly, "She returned from wherever she was with a sentence already halfway through her mouth, and seeing as the original message didn't get across properly, suffice to say this one didn't either, Time Loop has been closed, the world isn't going to be swallowed in a Paradox, I'm still the smartest person in the room, I'm out!"

Blueblood stood up, dropping Pinkie Pie onto the floor, "Unless your Librarian Job requires you to wear BDSM gear, I suggest you change," He told Twilight, who replayed his words in her mind before she looked at the ripped sneak suit she wore.

Skintight black latex.

"I'll tell the staff to get three rooms-"

"Two, Twilight and I share a room," Spike interrupted the Prince.

"I'll tell the staff to get two rooms for you three to rest in," Blueblood sighed tiredly as he walked towards the door leading into the wing, "As Elements of Harmony, you are invited to stay at Canterlot Castle anytime, especially during an emergency, such as closing a time loop, Next time, please don't sneak around in the middle of the night, I might have actually just killed one of you If this Pink Beast wasn't here," Blueblood walked passed an awkwardly smiling Twilight before he stopped at the Door.

"As Prince Blueblood Platinum of Equestria, I am humbly inviting you to stay a day at the Castle," He turned back to the group and gave a short bow.

"I'm so tired, I think I'll just fall asleep here," Spike said as he walked up to Twilight, who nodded to accept the Prince's generous invitation.

"Great, And also-" The Prince's professional smile turned into an icy glare, "If you speak to anyone about what transpired here tonight, You will be hearing from my lawyers," And with that glare, Prince Blueblood turned away from the group, slammed his body against the doorframe, before correcting himself and leaving the door proper, his legs wobbling as his tired body dragged him to his room.

"...A bed in the castle?! Do you think the mattress is bouncy?" Pinkie Pie asked with a smile before she started bouncing after the Prince, A cry of 'Get away from me!' going ignored by the Element of Laughter as she tackled her Unicorn friend into another hug.

-----------------------------------------

Blueblood stared blankly at the Purple Unicorn that stood above him, trying his best to ignore the Pink menace glued to his back as he tried to focus on the aquamarine streak of hair in the Unicorn's mane.

"Where were you?" Blueblood asked his bodyguard.

"Well, you see, I got those Energy Drinks you asked me to get, but then I decided that I really don't want you to have them and then be grumpy for the next week, so I went to sleep and decided to come check on you in the morning to see if you hadn't died by pulling your brain out of your head while you pulled your hair," Starlight Glimmer said, her tone of voice not at all apologetic for her actions.

"You know, If you weren't my best friend, I'd have you fired for that," Blueblood told her.

"Awww, You're my best friend too," Starlight cooed smugly at the Prince, still standing over him as he lay on the floor in the middle of the corridor.

"Just drag me to my room so I can go to sleep... And let's act like tonight never happened," Blueblood raised an eyebrow at Starlight.

"Not happening, Raven and I are having brunch tomorrow, I'm telling her everything," She smirked as she lifted Blueblood in her magic, Peeling the Pink Earth Pony from his back as if she was a plaster before dropping her down to the floor, a nearby maid quickly rushing in to pick her up and drag her to her room.

As he was dragged by the telekinetic grasp of his best friend, Prince Blueblood Platinum tiredly sighed and said the six words he always falls back to in times of need.

"I'm not drunk enough for this..."
