Where the Bad Ponies Go

Sleepover Party! Part 2!

It was not long for most of the ponies who came to settle down in the living room. I greeted most of them at the door, while I figured that most of them seemed pretty friendly, well, almost...

I glared hard at the three who walked in last, their heads held high, while dark smirks covered their features. “Gilden...how nice to see you...” I whispered through my teeth, venom dripping from my words, as it was obvious sarcasm.

Gilden turned to me, grinning widely, before nudging his pals, “Well Jackpo-” He stopped, when Rose came over, and gave him a raised eyebrow, where he looked back at me, and gave me a smile, one that was as fake as can be, “I mean, Jackie. I wanted to thank you for inviting us to your sleepover party.”

One of the twins cut in, “Yea, thanks man!” He too, shared a fake smile, while his other twin rolled his eyes, but only nodded in response, before the three started to walk off.

I only raised a confused eyebrow, acting as though I didn’t know what was going on, but had a pretty good idea that Rose had something to deal with it. Turning to ask her the question, I found the spot where she once stood, was gone...”Perfect...” I muttered, before sighing deeply, and trotting over to a couch to sit down for a while.

I noticed a light blue unicorn smiling at me. She was pretty, had short light blue and white streaked mane and tail, with a few mint candies on her flank, and green eyes. A bit too bright for me, but nonetheless was fine.

I smiled back at her, as she walked over to me, and asked softly, “Did you plan this sleepover, or did Rose force you into it?”

I gave a soft shrug at her question, and spoke with honesty, “Oh, she had planned it, and then dragged me into it, as usual.” I then was curious of who this mare was, so I had to ask, “What’s your name?”

She giggled, and took a seat next to me, as I sat on the couch, watching over everything, “My name is Misty Minty, but everypony calls me Minty. You’re Jackie, right?”

I nodded. I guess it didn’t surprise me that she didn’t know who I was, since I never hung around with Rose and her friends. “Yes, I am. A pleasure to meet you, Misty. I hope you have fun here tonight, but be careful, Rose might go over her head again, and make things embarrassing, especially for me...”

Misty laughed softly, “Yea, that’s Rose for ya. Always the prankster of the group.” Looking around with curiosity, she asked, “Where’d she go anyways?”

Rose had went upstairs to fetch the games, while I just sat on the couch, conversing with a few of the other ponies, who had suddenly came up to speak with Misty and myself. I always feared that Rose’ friends would think of me as a weird Pegasus, but it seems they don’t seem to mind, since they’re weird as well. This bit of information, as they tell me, made me laugh with relief.

“I got the games!” Speaking of the Pegasus.

I looked up to see Rose with boxes of our favorite board games, and sighed deeply. I sure hope we can get this done quickly, and only hope that Rose doesn’t embarrass me.

As the games got started, Rose tried to get me to play along, but I had no interest. I only waved a hoof at her, as if telling her to just move it along, while I just sat here and thought about a few things. She gave me a light shrug, and continued playing.

The only thing I was more worried about now, was what the Terribles were up to, I just realized now that they’re not in my eyesight. My eyes widened in panic, and I ran into the dining room to see if they were in there; nowhere to be found. The family room...the cellar...not here either; where could they...? I then thought of a glass breaking, and my mother looking at me furiously.

I groaned, and then ran towards the kitchen, and that’s where I found them, eating the cookies that my mother left for me. I stopped in my tracks, first shocked, and then angry.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” I yelled loudly, catching their attention, the twins dropping a cookie, while Gilden only turned with a smirk.

“Oh, are these yours, Jackpot?” he asked, stuffing another one into his mouth, making my blood boil with anger.

“My mother made those for me!” I stated, glaring at them all angrily. Wrong answer...

“Your mother?” Gilden asked, his eyes suddenly widening, before he started laughing loudly, and nudged one of the twins shoulders, “Hey, Jackpot is a momma’s pony!” They all broke out in hilarious laughter, while I fumed.

I ran over, and grabbed the tray that had my mother’s cookies on them, and stared at the few crumbs that were left in shock and panic. I cannot believe this!

The next 15 minutes involved me wrestling with Gilden on the floor, while the twins tried their best to eat the rest of the cookies. Rose came in a few moments later to see what was going on, and then took Gilden off of me, who had been busy sending me punches to the face.

“Gilden! You promised to be good!” she stated, glaring at the pony angrily, who only rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Once I was on my hooves again, I only continued to glare at the three, before Rose said with a loud voice, “Alright, that’s it! Out! All three of you!”

Gilden tried to reason with her, but Rose flapped her wings rapidly, and was ready to kick them out herself, literally. Soon enough, the three were out of the house, and on their way home. I watched them leave, and caught Gilden glaring back at me, as if saying this was not over. Of course it’s not over...its just beginning...
