Operation:Sleepover

It’s 3:55 pm. Magenta looked at her dry erase board. Checking the days she spent with Twilight Sparkle and Applejack. Soon, her ten year old brother, Lavender Spot, came in.

“Lavender!” Magenta shouted. “Couldn’t you at least knock?”

“Sorry, sis.” Lavender replied. “I just came back from the Neighborhood Activity Center. And, I just wanted to say ‘Hello’ to you.”

“Well, I suppose that’s good to know. But, at least let me know when you come home.”

Lavender looked at his sister’s board. “What are you doing anyway, Magenta?”

Magenta explained her activity. “I’m making a list to help me remember who I spent the night with.”

“Oh, right. The week of sleepovers the Rainbooms are setting up for you.”

“That’s right. On Day 1, I spent the night with Twilight Sparkle. On Day 2, which was last night, I was with Applejack and her family.”

Lavender figured out why. “Is this to make up for the vacation that was taken away from you?”

“I guess so.” Magenta answered. “This is Day 3. And, who knows who will invite me tonight.”

Soon, their mother, Willow Whisp, came home. “Kids, I’m home!”

“Coming, mom.” Magenta and Lavender answered together.

The kids came downstairs to say hello to their mom.

“Anything interesting happening?” Willow asked.

“I got back from the Activity Center, mom.” Lavender answered. “They’re going to show a movie tomorrow.”

“That sounds like fun. How about you, Magenta?”

“Well, mom,” Magenta started to say, “nothing at this...”

Magenta’s phone signaled a text coming up. She looks at the phone, and sees who it is.

“Wow!” Magenta shouted. “It’s from Rarity.”

Willow figured out the purpose. “I’m guessing she wants you to spend the night with her.”

“Yes. She said to be over between seven and eight tonight. I better pack up and dress accordingly. Rarity is an elegant girl, you know.”

After dinner, Magenta changed into a bright red jacket, white dress shirt, crimson skirt, and black shoes. With a suitcase in hand, she is set to head for Rarity’s house. “So long, mom. I’m on my way.”

“Good night, Magenta.” Willow replied. “Have a good time.”

Lavender saw Magenta leave. “Boy, my sister is lucky. I wish I had friends like the Rainbooms.”

Magenta watched the sun setting as she arrives at Rarity’s house. She rings the doorbell, and Rarity answers the door.

“Hello, Magenta.” Rarity greeted. She looks at Magenta’s outfit. “My goodness, darling. You don’t have to look elegant just for me.”

“Maybe not.” Magenta said. “But, I’d like to show that I have a fancy side as you do.”

“That’s very honorable, Magenta. Come in.”

Magenta walks in the door when Rarity’s sister, Sweetie Belle, runs in.

“Hey, sis.” Sweetie Belle squealed. “I have some popcorn ready to heat up.”

“Good idea, Sweetie Belle.” Rarity replied.

“Popcorn?” Magenta yelped. “What for?”

“I figured you and I can watch a movie. I do have a Blu-Ray player, you know.”

“Cool. A great way to relax before bedtime.”

Later, after changing into her sleepwear, Rarity prepared her blu-Ray player as Magenta walks in wearing a short sleeved light teal nightgown. Rarity sees her walk in.

“Why, Magenta dear.” Rarity cooed. “Your nightgown looks beautiful.”

“Thank you, Rarity.” Magenta replied. “Is the movie ready?”

“Yes, darling. We’re just waiting for Sweetie Belle to come up with the popcorn and the sodas.”

Sweetie Belle comes in with a big bowl of hot buttered popcorn and two bottles of soda.

“Here you are, Rarity.” Sweetie Belle stated. “Green Apple for you and regular for Magenta.”

“Thank you, Sweetie Belle.” Rarity replied.

Magenta was surprised. “Green Apple soda? That’s new to me.”

“Green Apple is getting to be a very popular flavor, Magenta.” Rarity informed. “I do enjoy the taste.”

With a bag of popcorn of her own, and a small bottle of strawberry milk, Sweetie Belle sits next to Rarity.

“Sweetie Belle is watching the movie with us?” Magenta wondered.

“Of course, darling.” Rarity answered. “This is our favorite movie. And, you’re going to find out why.” Rarity picks up the remote. “Ready, girls? Here we go!”

Rarity pushes play and the movie begins. As the movie goes on, the three girls enjoy each other’s company.

“Would you like to try my soda, Magenta?” Rarity offered.

“Sure.” Magenta responded as she was given Rarity’s green apple soda. She took one swig and is astounded. “Wow! You’re right, Rarity. This IS good.”

Rarity smiled as the movie continued. Later, the movie was over. Sweetie Belle went to her own room as Rarity and Magenta prepared for bed.

“Do you like that air mattress I prepared?” Rarity asked.

“Sure is.” Magenta andwered. “This feels so good. I can fall asleep well on this.”

“I was hoping you would like it. Well, good night, darling.”

“Good night, Rarity.” Magenta replied softly.

Rarity and Magenta soon fell asleep.
The next morning, the rays of the sun shine through the window. Magenta slowly stirred, and rose up. She stretched and yawned.

“What was that?” Rarity asked. The yawning woke her up.

“Oh. Morning, Rarity.” Magenta greeted. “Did I wake you?”

Magenta got a little nervous. Rarity gave her an answer. “I was going to wake up anyway. But, you’re yawning startled me.”

“Oh. I’m sorry.” Magenta said nervously.

“Don’t be sorry, darling. I usually wake up at this time anyway. Whether a sound was heard or not.”

Magenta was relieved to hear that. Soon, Rarity and Magenta got dressed and went downstairs. Magenta had her suitcase ready.

“Are you ready to leave, Magenta?” Rarity asked.

“I’m afraid so.” Magenta answered. “But, I had a good night. Thanks for the good time, Rarity.”

“My pleasure, darling. Sweetie Belle enjoyed your visit too.”

Outside the door, Magenta was ready to leave as Rarity and Sweetie Belle went up to her.

“Thanks for you visit.” Rarity praised.

“You’re welcome.” Magenta replied. “And, thanks for the bagel too.”

“My idea.” Sweetie Belle responded. “Wouldn’t let you go without something to eat.”

Magenta soon made her way back home. As Rarity and Sweetie Belle waved her goodbye, Magenta thought about what’s next. “I wonder what night number four will bring.”
