Birthday Party [All Ponies Invited]

[Deleted]

So today was her birthday and she was having a party, but not at her own wishes. She was on vacation, relaxing and just spending time with the family, she didn’t expect to have to have a birthday party too. Spitfire liked things smaller and closer to home on her off days, it helped her stay grounded and remain the pony she was. Thought she was no going to go against her mother in wanting to give her daughter a party, she just though it would be smaller. Nope. Her mother had gone to the queen herself and asked for a room to have the party, one of the gala rooms to be exact. The queen didn’t say no either, she seemed quite joyed over the thought of Spitfire having a party. I guess connections to Celestria paid off?

Of course all of Equestria was invited to celebrate this moment with her; she would be no where without her fans. T would feel wrong to have them not invited to the party. Plus if it was only close friends then the Wonderbolts would be her only guests. She had put so much time into that team that she had little to no social life at this point. Most of her day had been spend in the clouds just relaxing, every family member seemed to be rushing off to do something. Spitfire, even though she hated it, was grounded. Finally getting dragged to the doctor, she was given an order of rest and no flying for a bit, her body and her wings needed to rest. She was sure that was the case with all the other Wonderbolts, it was bad to overwork the body. After a quick and what seemed short lunch, she was carried down to canterlot, royal style. The whole guard ponies came to pick her up, her facial expression not happy. She was a little embossed. A wonderbolt not flying!?

Getting shoved into a room, it wasn’t long before she heard music and the chatter of ponies downstairs. Ahh it seemed the party had started, without her. Only a couple minutes later if her younger sister come busting in with a covered bag in her mouth, shutting the door with her back hoof. Placing it on the bed, she zipped it open and showed the dress. A dress?! ”I can’t just wear something that is not a dress” she groaned a bit frustrated with the choice of outfit. But her sister’s face seemed unchanged, ” Sis we want you to look like a mare for once, just once” she said and walked out the room, there was no use in starting an argument. It wasn’t like there was anything wrong with being a tomboy, Spitfire was never much of the girly girl. But to the wishes of her family she slipped on the get up and tried to brush her hair a little bit. Oh but she felt like a little doll.

With a huff and a puff she marched downstairs, sneaking into the crowds of pones, but that didn’t work. Every pony could see her with this bright dress on and whatnot. So she was greeted and said happy birthday to right and left. She could even see where her mother was or her siblings, maybe mingling, maybe stuffing their face at the food bar thing. For the mean time she put on her big girl pony pants and braved it out, greeting some fans and taking pictures with them, as much as she hated the dress, she wouldn’t let that show one bit tonight.

Soarin' obviously already knew when his best friend and teammate's birthday was. So, an invitation wasn't anything suprising. No, what was suprising was what was ON the invite. Canterlot? Gala Room? This did NOT sound like the Spitfire he knew. Then again, when he thought it over, he realized she probablly didn't send the invite or plan the the party. Must've been somepony in her family, he figured. Either way, Soarin' wasn't missing the Captain's party for the life of him.

The day of the party arrived and Soarin' got up early to make sure he was ready. His formal wear Wonderbolts Uniform was cleaned, pressed and ready to go. He had got cleaned up and brushed his mane so that it actually went down and didn't look like he just stepped out of a tornado.

The gala itself wasn't too far from his hotel, so Soarin' got there pretty quickly. Though he was actually pretty early, more than a few ponies were already there. No sight of the birthday girl yet, though.

"Eh, I guess she can be late to her own party," Soarin' thought. "Maybe that's for the best, too. I can go scope out that snack table ahead of time...."

"Oh, and socialize, too. I guess."

And on that mental note, Soarin' set off in search of food. He figured he'd definately see Spitfire sometime tonight, so he was in no big rush to go and find her right this moment.

[Vinyl Scratch]

This was crazy, absolutely crazy. Beyond Vinyl crazy, the young DJ hadn't know that anything was out of her comfort zone but sure enough, there was and it was so very, very uncomfortable. Of course there was a bit of security and that had one rule that Scratch couldn't believe she had complied. She was wearing a dress. Her, in a dress. The craziest mare in Canterlot the one that partied every single night until it was morning then slept till 5 in the afternoon, in a dress.

Strangely enough Vinyl felt more naked in the dress than she ever did when she was actually naked. At least she still had her shades, she had refused to take those off. Of course, she never took them off in public. Ever, ever, ever. One could come up with tons of reasons why. Not that she would ever give an answer. Had to keep her mysterious aura up after all. Still, she hoped no pony she knew was here, she would die of embarrassment if anypony saw her in this dress. It was too frilly and it didn't even have frills!

Of course not wearing the dress wasn't worth missing a Wonderbolts party. What if there was a show? Pegasi always knew how to party. Well, she had heard that they do. She hadn't ever been to Cloudsdale to test out what she had heard, but she wanted to believe it. So many possibilities.

Pegasi could go anywhere they wanted without trains and junk. An entire audience that could be guaranteed wherever she went. Nothing was worse than an bad party. Even Vinyl couldn't always get a giant party going, especially in the small towns. So getting to know a few pegasi and convincing them all her parties were worth traveling to could be useful.

Vinyl walked around the party, even without seeing her eyes it was obvious she was a bit uncomfortable. Darn dress, made her feel vulnerable. Something she spent every moment of her life not feeling. It was too dang nerve-racking. But she still threw on a smile and trotted through the party. Looking about for somepony who looked friendly enough t-"Food!" she yelled out before trotting over to the snack table. There was a lot of fancy food that she barely recognized. She was starving. She quickly grabbed a bunch of things and shoved them into her mouth "Dish ish deriscious" she said through a mouthful of food. She felt much much better now "Now where ish-" she paused to swallow "-the music. Every party needs good music." she muttered.

After take a picture with one face, she walked just a couple more steps to get hugged by another fan. She didn’t mind though, hugging them back and taking a picture with them. By her right she could see the present table, full already. She could only guess it was fan mail more than anything, she loved reading those letters. To her left was food, her stomach grumbled a bit seeing the food. All of her favorites, thank you mother. She took one step toward the food and spotted Soarin’, his back to her. Finally a familiar face, but before she could even call his name she was swept away. Isn’t the point of a birthday party to enjoy yourself, especially since is it your birthday.

Turning her head, she saw it was no other pony but her brother taking her away to the stage. Intro? She stood beside him on the stage, getting a good look at the party, quite a turn out… ”Everypony…finally she has arrived” he said and looked over to his sister. She could just blush a bit and shake her head, she was not that late. ”Sis just wanted to let you know that we all love you and wish the best for you” she smiled. It was like he wanted to make her cry, she ‘awed’ and hugged him tight. ”So..let’s party” she cheered and finally set the music on. Gosh they seemed to be on point tonight, her favorite song was playing.

She left the stage with him, joining the jumping dancing crowd. Making her way into the center, she danced around with everypony else. Quite surprised she had not tripped on her dress already and make a fool of herself. Dancing around the dance floor, every pony seemed to want to get the chance to dance with her.

Soarin' was at the snacktable, looking at all the various sweets, apetizers and other assorted goodies. Whoever catered this gig sure did one hell of a good job. He was already filling his first plate of the night when he heard a sound he was more used to hear coming from himself right next to him. A blue haired unicorn with goggles was busy stuffing her face already. She seemed to REALLY be enjoying it...or she was just really hungry. Either way, that spoke really well for this food's quality. She looked familiar, but he didn't recall ever meeting her. She must be famous, but Soarin' couldn't recall her name.

After about a minute of him pondering (and her eating), it hit him. This was that DJ that seemed to be all the rage in the clubs. While Soarin' wasn't much of a party pony, he did enjoy cutting loose every now and then, and he knew more than a few ponies that were major partiers, so he'd hear about her quite a bit. She was just about the last pony he expected to meet here, so this was a pleasant suprise.

"Enjoying the food, P0N3?" he asked of Vinyl Scratch casually to try and get her attention. He was about to keep the conversation and introduce himself, but he heard somepony's voice on a microphone. Soarin' turned to the face to see Spitfire and her brother on stage to officially start the party. He had to say, seeing the Captain in a dress like that was kinda surreal...but she did look amazing in it. She cleaned up nicely, at the risk of sounding cliche.

With Spitfire's brother's announcement ending, the party really started. In his head, Soarin' thought out his plan of action. First, talk to Vinyl Scratch, Second, eat. Third, try and find Spitfire and talk. Fourth, Party (with any and everypony here). That sounded like a good plan to him.

[Vinyl Scratch]

The DJ was quite aware of the silent blueish pony looking at her, but she was sorta used to being looked at, both admiringly and with disgust. As he started a conversation Vinyl turned to Soarin'. Her first thought was: wasn't this guy a Wonderbolt? Her second: Wait, has he been to my shows. She looked at him skeptically, her mouth filled with food still. She gave him a wave and swallowed her food. Coughing a bit, she finished her stuffing her face, at least for now.

"Yeah I'm enjoying the food. It's better than club food at least." she said. Then the girl of the hour got on stage and everything went quiet. She was tempted to do something, say something, cheering? But the speech was over pretty quick, then the music started.

Vinyl was silent for a few seconds then nodded her head, not bad, she had heard worse. "So you're one of those wonderbolts right?" she said giving him a poke. She felt sorta proud that he already knew her name, well, stage name at least. But it proved that her name was out there among the big guys. "And you like my awesomely greatastic music?...not surprising but always appreciated." she said with a laugh.

"But ya shoulda mentioned me to spitball over there for the entertainment if ya knew about me. It would've kicked this party up a notch." Vinyl added, taking a bite of...it was something edible...probably. "Anyways, ya know I have a real name right? Ya can call me Vinyl Scratch, Scratch for short." at least this was distracting her from her dress. She barely ever got to talk with fans, the downside of working in the middle of the night was that the party usually ended when everyone left, leaving her alone in the club, usually passed out on the bar or something. But daytime parties just weren't the same. " Ya know, never thought a wonderbolt would be the late partying type."

Getting pulled from one direction to another, no break in between. She had spotted Soarin’ but kind of just lost him in the crowd. Her best guess would be that he was at the snack table; he would find her sometime this night. But for the moment, she went on dancing with different ponies, whoever asked her first. Some ponies seemed to be fans and still wanted to take pictures with her, putting on her best smile she did. Wasn’t there some kind of VIP area here or something? She was able to wander off a little bit and get away from the dancing and greeting madness. Finding her self standing beside her big brother, leaning on him a bit for support. After all she was a family pony, she would of liked to spend some time with her big brother and litter sister, wherever she was.

But her brother seemed to have other plans, ditching the mare o go talk to some mare in the crowd. Maybe he was using the Spitfire is my sister pick up line? Only a sigh could pass her muzzle, stallions. Walking more down, she did see the snack table. Soarin’ and another pony seemed a bit down from where she was, in a conversation maybe. But just because this was her party, didn’t mean she was going to go down and steal him, no, which would be mean. She might as well check out the snack table too, this was supposed to be her favorites. Candy? It was the first thing she could spot, she had a bit of a sweet tooth sometimes. If she could only eat enough candy before another fan dragged her away, she would be a happy mare.

The DJ Unicorn apparently approved of the food, which Soarin' figured was a good sign of it's quality. As DJ P0N3, responded to him, he piled some more food on the plate of snacks.

"Second in Command," Soarin' answered. "And yeah, I like your music. I mean, I haven't heard all of it, and I've never been to a show, but I like what I hear. Great for getting me pumped up before a show or work out. As for this party, I don't think the Captain planned it out. It is HER birthday...and this doesn't seem like the kind party she'd throw."

Vinyl took a moment to stuff her face, and Soarin' looked out into the party crowd for a second. He didn't see Spitfire amongst the dancing mass of ponies, so he figured she was busy dancing or talking with somepony. He turned back just in tame to hear the DJ's real name; Vinyl Scratch.

"Nice to meet ya, Vinyl," Soarin' said with a grin. "I'm Soarin', by the way. And I'm not the BIGGEST partier, I do party now and then. More than normal, recently, since I've been having trouble sleeping. And if I can't sleep, might as well do something with those hours, y'know?"

Soarin' took a look at his plate and figured he wasn't gonna fit much else on it, so he decided to dig in. Which he did. Spitfire's family sure got some good catering.

"Nicsh shades," he said to Vinyl, mouthful of goodies.

[Vinyl Scratch]

"Never been to a show!? Well that need's to change." Vinyl said, giving the stallion a poke on the nose. "It's not the same without the atmosphere ya'know. It's practically a requirement." she added with a giant smile. How awesome would that be? A Wonderbolt at her show? That could only lead to one thing, a great night!"Seriously, anytime.

I'll put you on the list." she said laughing, as if anypony she had ever met wasn't on her list. Heck! usually she didn't even want a list, but sometimes it was required, so she threw down eveyrpony she knew, then threw down some random names just in case. It had even worked a few times, who knew there was somepony named 'ice storm' or 'free form'.

Well, now, Vinyl did."Same here soarin and trust me, after one of my parties you'll sleep like a baby. But it'll be in the middle of the day until next morning." she then stuffed a bit more food into her mouth, taking a moment to smile at the taste "Shanks, One of a kind." she answered. Her chest puffed out a bit, she had immense pride in her shades. They we're her favorite material item, ever. They gave her confidence, not to mention were part of the ensemble which was the legendary and mysterious DJ-P0n3.

She then glanced over into the crowd and could swear she got a glimpse of the party's star. She cocked her said trying to get a better view. Of course, finding Spitfire's strikingly bright mane wasn't easy when you were looking through dark purple lenses. So Vinyl looked back to Soarin "So, next time you're up late at night fly on downtown or maybe to ponyville, I'll be somewhere. Just look for the flashing lights and huge crowd of people. If you don't hear the music first."
