"So what's this place like?" Grif asked as he soared through the skies with the others.
"It's a lot like a club back from where we're from," Tucker replied. "It's just filled with ponies, not college girls that make stupid duck faces with their friends."
"I wouldn't know. I usually sit in a booth, stuffing my face with heaps of bar food," Grif chuckled.
"At least you're playing it safe that way," Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. "Big shot over there drinks like it's going out of style."
"Hey, whatever I'm doing, it's always in style," Tucker corrected her. "Besides, I knew what I was doing the entire time."
"Sure you did," she laughed, then looked back to see Fluttershy trailing behind. "You okay over there?"
"Yes, I am," Fluttershy answered with an extremely weak nod. "Just a little nervous, that's all."
The four pegasi soon reached the Mile, only to find themselves at the back of a rather large line. Knowing it was best not to try to cut ahead, they stopped at the back of the line. As they waited, Fluttershy looked around nervously. She had not even been in the club yet, but she already felt out of place. Seeing this, Rainbow Dash stepped closer to her and offered a friendly smile. She returned the smile with one of her own, trying to appear comfortable. After several more minutes, the line shortened and they found themselves at the front of it. The bouncer gave a swift nod to Rainbow Dash, having recognized her. Smiling coolly, Tucker began walking inside with her, only to be stopped by the bouncer holding his wing out, blocking the way.
"You look familiar," the bouncer grunted, eyeing Tucker. "Didn't we throw you out of here one time for some reason?"
"Nah, that must have been some other guy," Tucker said.
"Alright, go on in," he grunted. His eyes then came to Fluttershy, studying her quietly.
"Let her in, Bouncer. She's with us," Rainbow Dash sighed.
With a shrug, Bouncer stepped to the side, letting Fluttershy and Grif through.
"A bouncer named Bouncer? That sounds fucking-" Grif began with a snort, but it aught in his throat at the sight of the large pegasus that began giving him the evil eye. "-Cool. That sounds pretty cool and it totally fits you."
"That's what I thought," he muttered, looking away from them. "Next."
As soon as the four walked through the door, they were greeted by a large crowd of loud ponies, as well as slightly louder music.
"Pretty busy night, huh?" Rainbow Dash said as they went through the crowd, trying to speak loud enough so the others could actually hear her. "We should see if they have any booths to the side where we can hear ourselves think."
"Good idea," Fluttershy said, taking extra care as to not bump into any of the other patrons.
To their surprise, there were several round booths open at the back of the club. Rainbow Dash quickly flew to the largest one in the corner and sat down. Fluttershy then slowly flew inside, happy to be away from the sporadically moving pegasi.
"Guess everybody is too busy dancing and drinking tonight, huh?" Tucker chuckled as he sat on the other side of Rainbow Dash.
"Looks like it," Grif murmured, sitting next to Fluttershy.
"Hey, guys," came a familiar voice. Looking to the source, Tucker and Rainbow Dash began to smile. "I thought I saw you guys come in here."
"Hey, Cloudchaser," Rainbow Dash greeted back. "What's going on with you?"
"Oh, you know. The same boring stuff," she chuckled, sitting on the edge of the seat of the booth, ready to get up at any moment. "How about you? I haven't seen you two for a few months. Almost thought I'd never see you here again after what happened last time. Or does Tucker not remember his awful singing."
"I'm telling you, my voice is awesome," Tucker said with a smirk. "I probably just half-assed it so the ladies wouldn't swoon over me. Don't want RD getting jealous, do I?"
"Yeah, that's totally the reason," she snorted as Rainbow Dash lightly hit him in the ribs. She then paused and raised her brow at the other pair. "What's Fluttershy doing here?"
Fluttershy bit her bottom lip and looked at the table, involuntarily shifting in her seat, not liking being the odd one out.
"She decided she wanted to have fun with her friends," Grif said, scooting the tiniest bit closer to her. "Is there a problem with that?"
"Huh? No," Cloudchaser said confusedly, then shook her head and smiled. "I didn't mean anything by it, I was just surprised to see her here. But by your reaction, I'm assuming you're her boyfriend?"
"What? No," he said instantly, smiling at Fluttershy. "We're just friends. I've been crashing at her place for a while, and in return I help her by watching her animal friends. When I'm awake. Isn't that right, Fluttershy?"
"Yes. We're friends," Fluttershy said with a weak smile. "Just friends."
"Cool. Well, I should probably go. Flitter is here tonight and we're trying to find some keepers. If we don't find any in a few hours, we might come back here so we can talk," Cloudchaser said.
"Sounds good," Rainbow Dash said, turning to the others as Cloudchaser left. "So what do you guys think we should do? Want to go dancing, or what?"
"I don't know..." Fluttershy grumbled, voice barely audible over the throbbing music.
"This is a place for fun, drinking and making mistakes that you won't remember in the morning," Tucker laughed, looking around the club. "You can't just come here and do nothing. It ruins the point."
"Does it?" Fluttershy asked sincerely, not knowing proper club etiquette. Or if there even was etiquette.
"Ignore him. Clubs are for having fun, but just being here with friends can be fun too, right?" Grif asked.
"Yeah," she said back to him, feeling slightly more comfortable.
"Well, I'm going to grab some drinks," Tucker sighed, getting out of the booth.
"Hang on, I'll come too. I need to see what they have to eat around here, maybe bring back a menu," Grif said, getting out of the booth from the other side. "You girls hungry for anything?"
"Nah, I'm good," Rainbow Dash chuckled. "And only bring a few drinks. We don't want you getting tossed on your flank again. Plus Fluttershy probably won't have any."
"I might," Fluttershy said, smiling crookedly at Tucker and Grif.
"Really? I mean, I rarely have drinks, but I limit myself so I don't become what Tucker did that one time," Rainbow Dash grunted, not wanting her friend to wake up with a hangover. "You don't know what your limit is, so you could easily go over it if you drink anything Tucker brings."
"I don't want to be the only one not doing anything," she said quietly, but turned to Tucker and coughed. "Can you ask for a small one?"
"Sure thing," Tucker said, turning around. "Come on, Grif. Maybe while we're there we can see what we can do about joining the Mile High Club."
"Uh, no offense, but I'm not really into you that way," Grif mumbled, walking away with him
The Mile High Club...
How the hell did I not see that coming?
Huh, a drunk Fluttershy (thinks about it for a moment)
Please tell me that were this is going!!
2331926 it's a continuity nod (read the first one); its not what you think... or is it?
Let the drinking begin!
oh let the fun begin!

Heap bar food? Sounds horrible.
Fluttershy asks them to bring back a small drink for her.
They bring it back.
With Tucker knowing that it is the smallest drink in the club but also the strongest.
She continues to get more of the same drink.
Fluttershy is so going to get drunk and kareoke then kiss Griff
*sees title*
Live and die on this day.
The prospect of a drunk Fluttershy, the (very likely) likelihood of a drunk Tucker, probably-going-to-end-up-drunk Rainbow Dash, and Grif, who I suspect will eat more than the other three combined. Dis gon' be good.
And it would seem as though Grif is getting a mite protective of Fluttershy. What this means, we may not yet know. Perhaps it is merely thankful attachment for her being the one to provide him a place to stay, or perhaps it is more. Only time will reveal the answer.
One thing that's for certain is that not everypony will by flying home in a straight line tonight, and the smart man would have his money on it being Flutters.
2332061 That would be amazing.
inb4 Grif and her hook up. I can already see it happening.
Grif I swear to God if you screw this up...
Grif gon' be getting lucky tonight
2332263 And Tucker will be pissed because Grif got some before he did
2327869 Maybe and maybe I placed Delta in the wrong catagory, I think it could also be funny if Delta were to write a friendship report because of how analitical he is, and when I was writing the other comment I'm personally not sure about Eta and Iota because DarkWing for reasons on if we have the same opinion on Eta and Iota is trying to avoid having the two use any form of communication until such a point as RoosterTeeth desides to give tell us what they represent and what they would say if they do talk. I will stop because I'm rambling
2332158
or he is protecting the only one who is actually nice to him?
DAMMNIT GRIF! YOU DON'T FRIENDZONE SOMEONE LIKE THAT!
Grif, the man who has met Agents Texas, Washington, Carolina and fucking Maine, is intimidated by a muscular flying pony named Bouncer?
Let the fun begin!
2333431 Um when isnt Grif intimidated by someone bigger and stronger then him?
2333650 Pretty much the entirety of My Little Caboose 1.
2333122 I actually never thought of that, but out of the rest of the Mane Six and Reds and Blues, most of the Blues have tried shooting him at one point (though I can't imagine Caboose disliking him, except for the fact that they were enemies) even if they did it only because he was Red and they were Blue, Sarge hates him, but he gets along well enough with Simmons compared to the rest, and out of the Mane Six, only Fluttershy interacts with him. The rest sort of just leave him be...
That being said, all of what I just said is whether or not they like him, not if they're nice to him... And, as far as that goes, Fluttershy is one of the only ponies to actually be nice to him. You've got a good point there.
Oh God... someone find and post the 5 levels of fluttershyness
Well. This is going to turn out brilliantly.
I get the feeling that Griff isn't getting lucky, but that they will both wake up and think that he did and panic.
2331926well, I'm familiar, familiarity that's because I played just cause 2. I love using the shotgun.

Up in Fenril's post, post 6.
Yo, DarkWing. How 'bout some music like you did on the previous MLC when they enter the club, yeah?
Mile High Club.... Where is that from? the name sounds familiar
2586638 My Little Caboose is where the club is from.
