"I can't believe it! Finally! Here I am! The Grand Galloping Gala!" Choco said cheerfully, giggling and bouncing as she trotted towards the entrance with her beautiful dress. She noticed most of the upperclass ponies there, which they looked serious. She would hope to liven up the mood with her cheerfulness.

Mirror Image walked up to the castle, sighing. "The biggest party there is and im invited..... to work." As he walks up to the castle, not looking all classy, as per his routine somepony walks up to him. After being asked why he is there and to prove he was invited three seperate times, he finally gets somewhere he can sort of think, right by the front doors.

Choco turned and saw a happy stallion. "Hey there! My name's Choco Delight! What's your name?" Choco asked as she eyed the stallion. "Boy, this stallion sure looks handsome!" Choco thought to herself as she saw the royal ensemble playing in her peripheral. She also saw a few Wonderbolts just walking around. Among the group was Spitfire, Fleetfoot and Soarin'.

Belle walked into the castle for he very first time. She looked all around with large eyes of wonder over the beauty that it had. The stain glass windows, the, the paintings, the carpets, the floors  even the walls were beautiful. In her life she never thought once that she would be invited to the Grand Galloping Gala. She spun around a few times not caring who saw her. As she walked about her tics weren't acting up as much. As few neck tics and some shouting ones. But luckily she still had her mouth covered so it only came out in a slightly loud muffle.

[Concerto Dusk 240]

"Sigh, great just great i lost it" Mirror Image yells as he digs through his bag. "I know i put it in here, stupid suit, now I'm gonna look like an idiot after im done with my show, damn it." As he says this he notices ponies staring at him. "Sorry, just looking for something"

[Lightning Bliss 1,674]

Lightning Bliss sighed, and shrugged her long robe-scarf, tan in color, back over her shoulder as the wind blew it off her annoyingly once again. Not that she mind hitching a ride in the great Princess of the Night's private bat pony carriage, but the fact she was showing up in an entrouge like fashion...was down right annoying. Trying to ignore the wind blowing her fixed up mane, and readjusting her tiera back on her head, she pulled out the ticket she had settled in the scarf's secret pocket and stared at it with mixed thoughts.

 

Princess Luna had been quiet from trip from Blissy's new mushroom home outside Ponyville as the castle in Canterlot became more noticeable in the distance with it's lit up display. But she too sighed knowing the small, white, big eared alicorn, wasn't being as pro-postive about the situation as she'd hope she be. With a bit of her own annoyance, quickly shrugged away and replaced with concern once more, she placed a blue hoof on Bliss's shoulder and spoke.

 

"You know Lightning Bliss," Luna spoke softly, "if you really feel the way you do about attending the galla...there's still a chance that we could turn back-" She realized saying this, at the corner of her eye, made the two stallion bat pegasus grit their fanged teeth as she stated this, making her blush somewhat in an apologetic fashion. They had flown all the way out to Ponyville and had now just got Canterlot in their sights...To turn back now? How frustrating, especially for their wings and backs.

 

"No no, forgive me Luna," Bliss said absently as she placed the ticket Luna gave to her, back in her scarf, "I can't just ask you to turn us back...Especially when I promised you I would attend. You were insistant on the matter...And quite frankly, I'm just glad it was you that requested me to attend and not your older sister... she's-"

 

"Celestia can be firm," Luna finished her, "that's why I preferred to come to you myself, to show my support as well as my own concerns about you embracing your title at the gala." She turned her head towards her frustrated pegasus guards, "forgive the last sentence good sirs, we won't be turning around. Your efforts are appreciated and will be rewarded."

 

"Thank you, your Highness," one of the stallion bat ponies smiled to her and continued on with his partner.

 

"I understand you both want me to attend more of these royal events," Bliss replied back understandingly, "but I just don't feel ready for all of this...I'm a shy pony as it is in public, I'm nothing like Twilight or Cadence in that regard. I just...I just want to be normal...Well, normal as a big earred, gryphon tailed pony can be..."

 

"Normal, not normal...big ears, no big ears," Luna replied back, "you are so caught up in what is, and what will be...It's best to just face what is happening now, and not worry about what will be. You are an alicorn for a reason, gifted and couragous. This title is a part of you because you earned it. To deny yourself the obligation of what it means to be an alicorn, would be an insult." She placed a hoof on her shoulder again just as they were about to land at the front of the palace, "You are a great pony Lightning Bliss, and your presence at these events are greatly appreciated by us all...Please, try to keep that in mind before shying away...And..." she hesitated as the carriage made touch down and came to a halt, "and try to enjoy yourself. Ok?"

 

"Yes Princess Luna," Bliss nodded respectfully, forcing a smile on her face as she hopped out of the carriage, then turned expecting Luna to hop out with her but was surprised to see she was still sitting in the carriage. "Are you not coming with me Luna?"

 

"Sorry Bliss, but I promised a reward for these fine stallions efforts. But I will see you in the gala later on. Good luck to you!" Luna waved to Bliss and once again her carriage leapt to the air again, leaving the white small alicorn alone to face the Gala.

 

"Well..." she sighed as she walked up towards the first guard who was taking tickets, "maybe I'll meet some new ponies at this Gala too." She barely was able to whip out her ticket before the guard hummbly bowed to her and escorted her into the castle himself, not bothering to stare at her ticket. Once she was inside, she sighed heavily once more, slapping on a shy smile, and headed into the ball room, hoping to find the food and punch table.

[Eloquence 2,076]

Eloquence stared up at the magnificent castle, her green eyes wide as she took in the innumerable sights of the gala. Her heart pounded, but it was much more out of excitement than nervousness. She had always dreamed of being able to attend the gala, ever since she was a little Canterlotian filly watching the event from the uninvited outskirts. Now here she was, one of a select few writers chosen to attend and cover the event. 'Take that, Trenderhoof', she thought to herself with a grin.

 

Seeing as she was covering the event, she had to spend the evening carrying around saddlebags, which meant forgoing a gown. She felt a bit awkward about this, but dressed as best she could for the occasion regardless, wearing a flowing red velvet cloak with gold bracelets adorning her hooves and a large red rose adorning her mane, and with her mane and tail in an elaborate braided updo. Concealed under her cloak were two slim saddlebags, carrying her ticket, notebooks, quills, ink, and... buzzing... why did she feel buzzing...?

 

The moment she opened her right saddlebag her pet hummingbird came flying out, buzzing around her, clearly happy to no longer be in the cramped little space in her bag. "Ellipsis!" she nearly shouted. "I told you to stay home tonight, I'm not supposed to bring pets to this event." Ellipsis merely snuggled down into Eloquence's mane. She sighed. "Ponies always say 'I can't take you anywhere'. How ironic that I would be able to say that of you while also honestly stating that I can't not take you anywhere."

 

Deciding there was nothing she could do about the bird, she walked towards the front doors, soon forgetting about her annoyance entirely. There were so many amazing ponies at this gala, so many stories to be heard and told, and maybe, just maybe, she would finally have her chance to talk to one of the high princesses, Celestia and Luna. Oh, to talk to them for just a moment! To hear told by them a single tale from their magnificent, thrilling, ancient lives! She nearly let herself get lost in her reverie when she noticed a very flustered-looking stallion stopped in the doorway.

Belle was starting to get hungry and a little thirsty. Which wasn't good for her. That would mean shell have to take of her mouth wrap and if she has a shout tic that means she going to get a lot of stares and gasps cause of her sudden shouting of obscenities. Her stomach growled. He has a mental sigh and heads over to the food and punch table. When she got to the table she say a short and strange looking being with a a beautiful rainbow colored mane and  tail, He stole a few looks at them as she lift up her veil and undid her mouth wrap. She takes a deep breath an gets a glass and filled it up with some punch. She took a few sips and out it down. As she was reaching for a plate, one of her tics happen. "Conneries!" She quickly covered her mouth with both her hooves.

@@Gloomfury,

 

Bliss had barely enough time to figure out what kind of a drink she wanted to choose when she reared up in shock. The sound of an obvious 'cuss' that was unknown to her, stung her ears in surprise. But to more of her shock was where the verbal reference came from as she turned to the direction of its owner...

 

What she behold was a slightly tall, though pretty earth pony, wrapped in a seemingly beauitful scarf and turban that wrapped around her head. She seemed horrified by her own outburst and was quickly seeming to dissipate the scene by wrapping her lovely face back up tightly. Not wanting the poor mare to be more embrassed then she already seemed to be...Bliss randomly acted without thinking, for the own mare's rescue just as some of the other ponies were beginning to stare firmly. "SCHITZE (germane langauage" she cussed out abruptly, making the other pony guests turn, "gah! So sorry! I ah... stubbed my hoof on the table! So sorry for my language!"

 

"Oh!" The waiter at the table exclaimed, "are you alright my lady? Can I help you with that?"

 

"No no," Bliss quickly slid over to the green pony mare's side and wrapping her wing around her protectively, "no it's quite alright sir. If you could just give me and my friend here a drink?"

 

"Of course!" The brown unicorn quickly poured both mares two punch drinks, and watched as the small white alicorn quickly hustled her friend away from the table.

 

"Hey there," Bliss said to the green earth pony mare she never met before, "I'm sorry... I know this isn't my business...and this may seem awkward but, you seemed so scared and embrassed... I didn't want you to feel that way alone... I hope your ok?"

Belle gave a shy but thankful smile to the small rainbow maned alicorn. She gave a nod at her question. "Oui, I'm alright. Thank you for helping me with, Shit!" She covered her mouth so she didn't say it as loud.  "For helping me back there. I have tourettes and I sometimes can't help what I say." She said with her thick Cajun accent. "It can-dick! It can be a pain someti-Fuck!. Sometimes." Her face was bright red by the time she was done speaking.

"I wish there was some way I could help, but I don't think I have a suit in my bags." She looked up in the direction of her pet. "Then again, I didn't think I had a bird in there either, so I suppose I could be wrong."

"Tourettes?" Bliss asked innocently, only actually hearing about the tick once in her life, but never actually meeting a pony with it, "that's got to be a pain... Though I honestly never met a pony who had it... Forgive me, you are the first for me." She gently coaxed the mare away from looking eyes, though hard as it was being she was a royal. But finally after a few steps and shuus away from public eye, she managed to escort the mare to a table where it was a little more private. "Oh and sorry for being so pushy or...well escortive, I figured you didn't want to be noticed... Ahem, but where are my manners."

 

She pulled out a seat for herself, and levitated another one out for the exotic earth pony. "My name is Lightning Bliss... though the other Princesses prefer I use my sir name... Princess Lightning Bliss..." she sighed and shrugged, "but just between us, call me Blissy if you like. And you are?"

Bliss couldn't help but blush with the feeling of awkwardness and almost felt the best way to fix the problem was to mention in a joking way, that she was in fact married, but knowing Belle said her actions were 'involuntary' made her withdraw the idea. "It's...it's ok," Bliss said as casual as possible, "not sure how I should react to this situation. Are there no such cures for what you have? That must be problematic for you..."

 

Thoughts and images raced through her head at the thought what if she had that form of ticks within her, to go along with her big ears and tail. The thought of randomly cussing at other ponies, to top off looking freakish in her mind, was a living nightmare. She couldn't understand how one lives with such an issue knowing other ponies would either question, insult, or bully Belle with what she had. The thought made her large ears droop down more at the thought as she turned to Belle's interesting attire that adroned her head and muzzle.
