Lessons Learned

Fluttershy walked up to the front door of Sugarcube Corner and walked inside. Pinkie Pie was no where to be found on the ground floor. Behind the counter was Mrs. Cake.

"Oh, hello Fluttershy. How may I help you?", she said with a warm smile.

"Hello Mrs. Cake, do you know where Pinkie Pie is?", Fluttershy asked.

"Yes I do. She's upstairs in her room, prepareing for the sleepover.", she said.

Almost as if on cue, Pinkie Pie came bounding down the stairs and burst out into the bake shop humming a merry tune and dancing around, "Oh hey Fluttershy!", she zipped over to her and asked quietly, "Are they here?"

"No, they're handling some," she used her fore hooves and made air quotations, "issues."

"Perfect!", Pinkie said as she placed a moustache on her face and rubbed her fore hooves together, "Everything is going according to plan."

At the same time inside Golden Oaks Library

'Everything is going according to plan!', Rainbow Dash thought as she walked through the door. 'I just have to keep putting on this "I'm in trouble" act and bingo!', she could almost laugh her plan was going so well.

"So Rainbow, we both know you were checking out something other than books here earlier.", Twilight said.

It took everything Rainbow had but she was able to push her excitement down and put on another nervous apologetic face, "Yeah, it's true.", she said as she lowered her head.

"Are you a lesmarian Rainbow?", Twilight asked quietly.

Rainbow Dash genuinely blushed, "Yeah, yeah I am.", she said as she kicked at the ground.

"Well, Rainbow, I'm not.", Twilight said with a stern voice.

'Wait what?', Rainbow thought to herself, 'What did she just say?' Rainbow's anger began to rise, she was so close. There was no way she was going to let Twilight get away. She was to close to what she wanted.

"But...", Twilight continued.

Rainbow Dash's head shot up, 'But? But is good.'

"I do love learning new things.", and with that Twilight leaned in and kissed Rainbow.

Sugarcube Corner- Pinkie's room

"So Pinkie Pie," Fluttershy asked while looking around at the decorations Pinkie had set out for the party, "who have you invited?"

Pinkie Pie looked up from the poster she had sprawled out across the floor for Pin the Tail on the Pony, "Oh just all of our closest friends!"

"Um, Pinkie? I thought this was going to be a party for the two of us?" Fluttershy started, "I don't think our friends enjoy the same 'activities' we do."

Pinkie Pie looked at Fluttershy and burst into deep uproarious laughter, "Oh Fluttershy," she wiped a tear out of her eye, "you really should learn to read our friends better."

Fluttershy felt a trinkle of anger rise within her, "And what does that mean?"

"Trust me Fluttershy. My Pinkie Sense gave me two tail twitches and a sneeze.", Pinkie said with a large beaming smile.

"What does that mean?", Fluttershy asked.

"Our friends are already enjoying their own 'activities' right now.", Pinkie Pie said.

Fluttershy blushed deeply, "Do... do you know who?"

Pinkie's eyes lit up and she answered in an excited tone, "All of them!"

"Um, are you sure?", Fluttershy asked incredulously.

"Yep, yep, yep!", she said quickly her tone of voice raising with each word. She looked into Fluttershy's eyes, "Including us!", and with that, Pinkie dove onto Fluttershy, tackling her onto the bed.

Sweet Apple Acres earlier that day

"Hey Rarity, what's up?", Applejack asked her friend warmly.

"I came by since you asked me so nicely to in your letter darling.", she replied as she pulled a letter out of her saddle bag.

Applejack arched an eyebrow.
