Mark walked out of the building with a special swagger in his step. He had a decent sized cloth bag in his mouth and gave it one last shake to hear the sound before flying home. He got a smile so big the bag almost dropped out of his mouth as he could hear the sound of his first payment after working as a janitor for the local mini golf franchise. It was not the best job in the world but at least had some money to start buying things.

When he got back to Rainbow’s to go to sleep. He found a note on the door. “Dear Mark, Twilight wanted us to all come over for a sleepover, see you there.” On the way over Mark decided he would tell everypony about how he is planning to try to get his own house in case they know of any good houses that are for sale and are cheap. When Mark got there he saw Spike waving for him from the bedroom so he went and landed on the balcony. “Mark you got here are the worst possible time.” “Oh no, is something wrong?” “Nothing is wrong but they are having make overs and I was hardly able to get out of there. And the schedule is for truth or dare next. But we can hang out here for now and if you want I can tell them that you stopped by and had to go some were.” “Ha thanks Spike. But I think I can deal with truth or dare.”

Mark waited a minute and then went downstairs into the library. Mark was very easily noticed by everypony in the library when he saw AppleJack’s hair was as curled as Rarity’s and began to laugh loudly. “Ah shoot, I didn't know he was gonna be here. Mark promise me you wont tell anypony about this.” “Sure thing. Oh, I got some news for all of you. I have decided I am going to get my own house when I get the money and was wondering if any of you knew of any good retail companies.” Twilight raised her hoof to silence him. “Mark at my sleep overs we have rules. One of them is that we don’t talk about outside things while here.,It ruins the fun. And it says so in the book.” She used her magic to get a book from behind her and placed in open in front of her. “Now the rules say that since you are the newest person here its your turn to ask someone a truth or dare.” Once he got in the circle they had made in the middle of the room he found who he would ask.

“Fluttershy, truth or dare.” “Dare.” “Kick me in the side as hard as you can.” Fluttershy squeaked as she stood up startled. Mark also got up and laughed. As Fluttershy walked around the circle everyone was watching her and chuckling. Mark thought they were laughing about how she is so small and wont do much but when she got over to him she turned around and knocked him to the floor with her hind legs. This caused Pinkie to fall on her back as well before standing up and helping Mark stand after the wind was knocked out of him. “HA, Mark you should have seen yourself you where all “Oh, she is not strong” and we were all laughing because we knew you where wrong.”

The entire rest of the night went about the same way. Most of the ponies would ask Mark for truths or dares because he was the newest to the group. Twilight was the only one to keep this from happening every time when she set up a rule that would make it so they cant ask someone who was just asked. However she got all her questions from the book so none of them were very interesting and she tended to get skipped for this. But after a while she was able to get a turn and decided to search the book for something interesting to get the most out of her turn. She turned the page and saw an advanced section. “Mark, truth or dare?” “I will have to go with truth.” “Ok, of everypony here who would you like to go on a date with?” “I. . . um. . . QUIT!” Before anyone in the room could react Mark had flown up the stairs and out the way he came in. All that was left was a dust cloud and a two small green lines that had come off the tip of his wings as he flew as fast as he could back to Rainbow’s house. Everyone that was still at Twilight’s took this as a good sign that its time for ghost stories and then to go to sleep.

Mark woke to the sound of somepony knocking on the door. He opened the door half asleep. “Hi Rainbow Dash, sorry about last night.” “Rainbow? I'm not Rainbow Dash I'm Derpy. I got a letter for you, And some flowers.” “Ok.” Mark took the letters and went back to the guest bedroom and went over the note carefully.

Dear Mark,

Yesterday at the sleepover you should not have left, we had lots of fun and I would have enjoyed it more if you had stayed. I think you should have just told us the answer to the truth and I think leaving is counted as cheating. Luckily for me I know you would have chosen me if you had not been so embarrassed. Also if you want you can stay with me until you find your own house.

From,
Your friend.

“This is not good.” Mark thought to himself the third time reading the message. Mark had looked for a return address to find out who it was from but could not find anything to help solve this puzzle. He felt he had been taking up space in Rainbow’s house for too long and which ever of his friends where offering this he would really like to have a change of scenery so he flew out the front door. Flying over ponyville helped him clear his head and as he did he realized he cant think right on an empty stomach so he looked around and saw a diner and went to get some food.

Mark walked into the small diner and sat at one of the open tables. After a few moments a blue male earth pony walked up to him. He had a small and shaggy brown main and a small amount of brown haired stubble under his chin. Surprisingly he had what looked like a small white mouse for a cutie mark. “Hello, I’ve never seen you around here. I’m Stewart, Whats your name?” “*sigh* I’m Mark, Is this your diner?” “Yep! So what can I get for you?” “Just give me some soup”
Mark laid his face on the table until he heard Stewart return. “You seem bothered by something, whats wrong?” Mark raised his head and saw Stewart lower the bowl of soup from his head to the table. “I’m not really sure. I went to a slumber party last night with my new friends and in truth or dare I got asked who I like most. I didn’t know what to do and panicked. I flew away and when I woke up I had a letter from one of them asking me to live with them. I'm already living with one and the letter did not say who it was from.” “And now you want to find out who?” “Exactly but It’s so strange.” “Well make it simple, just narrow it down and ask the most likely person if they sent the letter. Then you won’t get worried if your wrong. If you were me, I would eliminate the one your already living with since the letter would be unnecessary.” “Alright one down five to go.” “Well that's a lot to narrow on this sort of thing but I would go to the person who’s house it was.” “Alright, I will try that.” Mark finished his soup and paid a little extra for the advice and went on his way.

Mark flew to Twilight’s house first because if we was wrong he would still have a good excuse for coming over and Stewart’s advice aided in the choice. He walked into the library to find Twilight reading a book and Spike playing with some cards. Twilight heard the door when Mark closed it. “Oh, I didn’t expect to see you here what did you need?” “I got a strange note in the mail today and I was wondering if it had been sent from you. I thought you would be more likely to write a note then anypony else in our group.” “Well you obviously did not think enough about who sent it. If I had sent a note then I would just have spike send and It would arrive must faster.” “Oh, I thought Spike’s messages only went to the princess. Well I would like to stay but I need to find who sent this letter so I will be back later, see ya.” Mark walked out of the library a little embarrassed.

“Well that was incredibly awkward. Well at least It was quick and I can solve this as soon as possible. Next I think would be Rarity, she seems like the kind of mare to write a letter like that and she would have to use the mail because she would be busy with her work.” Mark thought out loud to himself as he walked to Rarity’s fashion studio. “If its not her I just hope this goes as quick as it was at Twilight’s.

When Mark got to Rarity’s, she seemed very interested for him to be there. “Mark just who I needed to see, well just the gender I needed at least. I’m working on a new design to expand my market to stallions but so far I can’t think of a single one and since you are a guy I was hoping you could help. So please tell me what kind of outfit you would wear.” “Oh, umm, back where I came from we had leather jackets. Most guys liked those.” “Leather?” “Ah, I guess you wouldn’t have that here. Can you use your magic to make a substance similar to skin but have it dried out?” “Well of course darling but why in Equestira would I do that?” “Leather makes a unique substance that has an interesting feel and having the skin of another animal around you makes you feel like you have their strength.”

After a couple tries Rarity finally got it right but it took a few hours. Then it took a while longer for her to shape it correctly and it actually came out pretty well for a new material for her to use. When Mark was finally able to leave he noticed it was already mid afternoon. He would have to hurry to get this all over with before night fall. Next he decided would be Pinkie Pie since she is the only one who is in town.

Mark went to Sugar Cube Corner and found Pinkie standing behind the counter looking very board. “MARK! your here, the cakes are taking care of a baby emergency and they needed me to help out here a little. So what do you need?” Mark decided that with Pinkie it would be harder to explain because she is a little crazy and decided to just show her the note and explain its origins. “WOW, you got a love letter. That's so super duper amazingly cool. And what a coincidence too, I saw Fluttershy with some love birds flying around her. Those are only used to show somepony that you love them. OH MY GOSH! What if Fluttershy sent the letter, that would be fantastically super duper amazingly cool.” “Thanks for the help Pinkie I got to go.”

Mark flew to Fluttershy’s cottage and found her just like Pinkie had described. She was surrounded by small pink birds that had a body that looked like a half of a heart and their tail looked like the other half. There were at least 20 of them and Fluttershy seemed to be working hard to get them calmed down and have them land on a little stand for them. “Hi Fluttershy, need any help?” “Oh Mark thank goodness, I was going to help these love birds practice their singing but I cant get them to calm down at all and they might hurt themselves flying around like that.” “Let me see what I can do.” As soon as Mark got near all the birds swarmed him and started singing. “Fluttershy help me, get them off” “Oh Mark, your in love aren't you? The birds only react that way when they find someone that is in love.” “I don’t know if I am or not. How do I get them off?!” “They will only stop when you find your love, other then that you will have to lease them.”

“Well I can’t do much with these things following me!” Mark shouted as he flew away. He flew away from Fluttershy’s cottage with the love birds following him very close. Surprisingly they had great flight skills and kept up with him as he flew around obstacles and while he flew as fast as he could. After he had tried everything he could think of to loose these annoying birds he saw Rainbow Dash’s house. Luckily she usually kept the door open and he was able to fly inside and close the door. That quick flying made him collapse on the floor to catch his breath. This was very short lived as he heard the door open and he got up and turned around to see Rainbow Dash walk in with the love birds following her.

“So, It looks like you got my note.” “This note came from you?” “Tricked you didn’t I? I made it to seem like it came from somepony else, hope that did not cause you any problems. Anyway I’m guessing these love birds mean you accept my offer.” Mark laid his neck across Rainbow Dash’s mane and responded in a whisper. “Well I am already living here. . .but if I wasn’t my answer would still be the same. Of course I will Rainbow Dash. For you, I would do anything.”
