The Day My Life Began

Raspberry and Killjoy at the Gala

Tonight was the Gala.

Let it be known, that even thought Doctor ruins ever party he goes to, I do not. Half of the parties I go to end up with something attacking, the other half I wanted to die of boredom.

My dress is slimming, which is great. I loved it, in that I might actually use it again. I wonder how dresses made for ponies transfer to humans?

My sister was less excited about her dress. She likes wearing revealing clothing, and a fancy dress for a fancy ball isn't her idea of a good time. It was gray, like her hair, with purple bits here and there.

The Grand Galloping Gala was in a few hours. Killjoy and I went to Rarity's Boutique yesterday just to be sure the dresses were nice. I have experience when it comes to dresses not fitting before the event.

Lilac still loved her dress, although it was explained to her that the Gala was past her bedtime. She was upset, but I told her that I had found her a foalsitter that could watch her for the night, until we got back. A mare named Amethyst Star, who had some kind of family connection to Dinky and Derpy. I wasn't sure what yet, but I know it's there.

I had originally wanted to bring Lilac to the Gala, but thought better of it. Her field trip to Canterlot was in one week. That meant one week until Discord showed up. I had seen those episodes hundreds of times. Discord actually seemed like a nice enough guy. He didn't hurt anyone, from what I saw. It was all actually kinda funny.

He was like...he was like Loki. A kid who just wanted somebody to be their friend. I've known a lot of people who had reality bending powers, some I've seen on TV. All of them had the name Freak somewhere in their title. Did Discord just want someone to laugh at his jokes?

Ya know, it's kinda like Luna. No one likes his stuff, so he lashed out. I looked at a lot of theorems. People think Discord was the last of his kind.

"Yo, you want a minute alone with your mac 'n cheese?" Killjoy asked.

"My what?" I asked.

Killjoy and Lilac giggled.

"Sis, you were zoned out big time." Killjoy laughed. "You were this close to falling into your food. I wanted to run up and get  the camera so I could take a picture."

"But I said...dat it was mean, and she should not be mean." Lilac explained.

I shook my head, looking down to see my plate of macaroni and cheese. It felt lukewarm.

"Killjoy." I grumbled. "You are such a killjoy. Oomf."

Killjoy had thrown a spoonful of macaroni at my head. It wasn't very fun.

"Jokes on you. Now you have to clean up me clean my hair." I stated.

"Just use your magic, Razzle Dazzle." Killjoy laughed.

Lilac laughed too.

"Lilac, honey, you have to stay here." I said an hour later.

"But Mom!" Lilac whined. "I wanna go!"

"You'll have more fun with Dinky than you will with me. Trust me." I admitted. "These parties are boring, and slow, and full of grown-ups."

"But you're going!"

"So I can mess with Sparkle of Twilight." I explained. I leaned in closer, my voice in a whisper. "Who knows. You might get another friend out of it."

Lilac started to smile. She ran off towards Dinky's room.

I trotted over towards Amethyst. "Thanks for watching her tonight."
