Operation:Sleepover

As she was watching TV, Magenta keeps thinking about the week she had. So far, six nights, six sleepovers. Soon, her brother, Lavender, joins her.

“Hey, sis.” Lavender greeted. “Who’s left to invite you to spend the night?”

Magenta gave her brother a straight answer. “The only one left is Pinkie Pie.”

“The party girl of the Rainbooms? What do you think she’ll come up with?”

“Good question. I wish I had a good answer.”

Just then, Willow Whisp came home, relieved that the week is over.

“Friday.” Willow sighed. “I never thought it would get here.”

“Hard day at the office, mom?” Magenta asked.

“Yeah. The meeting me and my fellow co-workers had was long. Then, the bell rang, and we went home for the weekend.”

“I hear you, mom.” Lavender added. “At least we can sleep late tomorrow.”

Willow then turned to Magenta. “Speaking of sleep, any news about night number seven, which is tonight?”

“No news from Pinkie Pie yet, mom?” Magenta answered.

Just then, Magenta’s smartphone sent a text message to her. She was very happy.

“Message from Pinkie!” Magenta praised. “She wants me to come over tonight by 7pm.”

“Better get packing, honey.” Willow advised. “By the way, how did you know Pinkie Pie would send you a message?”

“She’s the only one who hasn’t invited me yet. Until now.”

Magenta went upstairs to pack her backpack. Lavender was wondering about something. “What would Pinkie Pie have in store for Magenta, mom?”

“I don’t know, Lavender.” Willow answered. “But, if it’s Pinkie Pie who invited her, it’s got to be a lot of fun.”

Later that night, Magenta arrived at Pinkie Pie’s house. She knocks on the door. The door opens wide as Pinkie Pie, wearing a white tank top and red sleep shorts, greeted the visitor. “Magenta! Thank you for coming. Come in!”

Magenta comes into the house and follows Pinkie to her bedroom.

“Wowie, Pinkie.” Magenta called. “ You don’t fool around when it comes to sleepovers.”

“You got that right.” Pinkie replied. “And, there’s another surprise for you.”

Just then, a white haired girl wearing a lime green T-shirt and blue sleep pants comes in. Magenta recognizes the girl. “Limestone! This is a surprise!”

“Hey, Magenta.” Limestone greeted. “Pinkie told me that she invited you. So, she wanted me to join the fun.”

“This is one cool gathering. Where are Marble and Maud?”

“Marble is staying at a friend’s house and Maud is invited to the Canterlot Rock Museum for an overnight stay.”

“So, it’s just the three of us!” Pinkie chirped. “How can we start things off?”

“How about letting me slip into my own sleepwear.” Magenta answered.

“Oh yeah. That’s true. Okey Dokey!”

Five minutes later, Magenta came out wearing a yellow long sleeve shirt and marigold sleep shorts. Pinkie loved the look.

“I like that sleepwear you’re wearing.” Pinkie Pie informed.

“Thanks, Pinkie.” Magenta responded. “I chose this look because it’s like the colors of the sun setting.”

“Looks good on you, Magenta!”

Suddenly, Pinkie got hit with a pillow. She turns around and sees Limestone with the pillow in her hand. Pinkie got nervous. “What did I do wrong?”

“Pinkie,” Limestone informed, “this is a great tradition in sleepovers.” Limestone raises the pillow. “Pillow fight!!”

Pinkie picks up her own pillow. “It’s on!”

Pinkie and Limestone start whacking each other with pillows, laughing all the way. Seeing the fun, Magenta picked up another pillow nearby, and hit both Pie sisters.

“Hey, girls.” Magenta announced. “You can’t leave me out of the fun.”

Limestone and Pinkie nodded, and all three engaged in the pillow fight, giggling in the process. Five minutes later, Pinkie and Magenta were relaxing after the battle.

“I never knew you can use a pillow that well.” Pinkie chirped. “You’re good.”

“Thanks, Pinkie.” Magenta replied. “That was fun!”

Limestone came back with three small boxes in her hand. “Here we are, girls. Single serve pizzas for a good snack.”

The three girls opened the boxes and enjoyed their food. Pinkie had a regular pizza, Limestone had meatball, and Magenta had ham and pineapple.

“Ham and pineapple?” Pinkie yelped. “That’s different.”

“I went on a tropical type vacation last summer.” Magenta explained. “That’s the inspiration behind this combo.”

Limestone wipes her mouth as she listened to the conversation. “I heard any kind of pork goes well with pineapple. To each her own, I guess.”

After their meal, the three girls got ready for sleep. Pinkie cuddled on her bed. And, Limestone and Magenta got into their sleeping bags.

“Would you like my bed instead, Limestone?” Pinkie asked with concern.

“Relax, sis.” Limestone replied. “I don’t mind being in a sleeping bag. Besides, this is your house. And, I’m your guest.”

Pinkie felt better hearing that. The sisters looked at Magenta sleeping peacefully.

“Looks like Magenta adjusts good.” Pinkie realized.

“I guess she does.” Limestone said as she puts her head on a pillow. “Good night, Pinkie.”

“Good night, Limestone.”

Getting comfortable, the Pie sisters soon fell asleep. The next morning, Magenta and the Pie Sisters were eating breakfast around 7am. They each had a bagel and orange juice. Pinkie and Limestone put butter on their bagels. But, Magenta puts peanut butter and jelly on hers.

“PB and J?” Limestone yelped. “You sure are full of surprises.”

“That I am.” Magenta responded. “I’m impressed that you two have breakfast early in the morning.”

“Sometimes it’s necessary. On the rock farm, we of the Pie family like to eat early so that we can be ready for a day of harvesting. Right, Pinkie?”

“That’s for sure.” Pinkie answered with a mouth full of food. “When I do help sometimes, I got to be ready.”

Later, around 8:30, Magenta dressed in exercise clothes, slipped on her backpack, and carried a purple mat as she prepares to leave.

“Thanks for the good time, ladies.” Magenta praised.

“No problem, Magenta.” Limestone said. “Glad you dropped in.”

“Don’t forget,” Pinkie informed, “tonight’s the big slumber party.”

Magenta smiled at Pinkie. “I won’t forget. Time for me to head for my yoga class. Bye.”

Magenta waved goodbye to the sisters. And, they waved back. As Magenta heads to her yoga class, she realized that Pinkie is right. With the big slumber party coming up at night, who knows what surprises are in store for her.
