Sleepovers

Sunny walked into the library, carefully closing the door. She turned around to see all of the Elements of Harmony sitting around on sleeping bags. Her eyes focused on Twilight, who was standing and going through a book with a pillow on the cover.

"Alright, girls. Now, if everypony gets along, this will go along smoothly." She lowered her book and glared at Rarity and Applejack. "Understood, Rarity and Applejack?"

"Yeah, whatever." Applejack said, leaning back onto her pillow and chewing on a toothpick for some reason. Twilight switched her attention to Rarity, who was filing her hoof at the moment.

"Hm? Oh, yes, of course. I promise we won't ruin your second slumber party, Twilight." Twilight smiled gratefully and looked up to see Sunny with an awkward smile.

"Hey, Sunny!" She paused for a second before continuing. "Did I invite you?" Sunny's ears drooped before she sat next to Rainbow Dash.

"No. No, this clown did." She said, smacking Rainbow's back, causing her to choke on her Sun Soda. Dash pounded her chest in an attempt to clear her lungs, and finally stopped coughing when she looked up to see Twilight glaring at her.

"Uh...I told you, right?" Sunny planted a hoof against her face. Twilight snorted and cleared her throat before turning around and lifting the book back into her face.

"It doesn't matter. We're all friends here." She said, skimming through the pages. "First on the list is makeovers!" Rainbow faked a disgusted face, and Sunny actually gagged. Applejack rolled her eyes, and the rest of the mares squealed in excitement.

"I've got nachos!" Spike walked in carrying a few plates of nachos, a big smile on his face.

"Awesome! Give me one of those!" Rainbow blasted past him, snatching a plate in the process. She floated on her back, shoving a few chips into her mouth. Sunny rolled her eyes and leaned back against Rainbow's sleeping bag. That's when she realized she didn't bring one.

"Crap!" She shouted  grabbing the attention of the other ponies. She looked up, growing embarrassed from the sudden attention. "Uh...I forgot my sleeping bag." She said awkwardly.

"No problem, dude." Rainbow said casually, shoving another nacho into her mouth. "You can use mine!" Sunny planted a hoof to her face, just embarrassed to know Dash.

"Dash, what are you going to use?" She asked with a roll of her eyes.

"You could sleep on the couch, Sunny." Twilight said with a smile. Sunny smiled gratefully and sat up.

"Thank you, Twilight. Now that I've interrupted the festivities, let's get on with it, shall we?" She said, stretching her wings as she prepared to be make-upped to Rarity's content.

"Makeovers!" Rarity called out in a sing song voice, holding up a make-up bag. Sunny had to assume she prepared for this moment. At least Rarity was a professional.

Sunny gritted her teeth as Rarity applied mascara to her. This was so incredibly uncomfortable, she could not describe it. It was the worst thing she had ever experienced, and yet it wasn't over.

"Yuck! Rarity, stop! I don't even like make-up!" Sunny pushed her away, trying to rub the synthetics off. Rarity gasped and grabbed her hooves to keep her from removing it.

"No! Sunny, you'll ruin my magnificent work!" She cried, grunting as Sunny started to overpower her.

"I don't care! I want it off!" She shouted right back, yanking her hooves up and pushing Rarity back. She took into the air and growled, rubbing the make-up off of her beautiful, natural face.

"Well, that escalated quickly." Twilight said, a mud mask covering her face. Applejack laughed at Sunny's behavior, her own face covered with Rarity's most treasured beautifier.

"I think the makeovers are a bust, Twilight." Rarity said through gritted teeth as she watched Sunny hover in the air, just out of her reach. She grinned wickedly and activated her magic, pulling on Sunny's ear.

"Ow! Hey! Let me go!" Rarity dragged her back to the ground and let her go with a huff. Twilight eyes her carefully before turning back to the book.

"Next is ghost stories!" Pinkie squealed happily, making Fluttershy duck into her sleeping bag in fear.

"Ooh! Ooh! I wanna go! I wanna go! Pick me!" She squirmed in excitement, holding her hoof high into the air. Twilight rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Pinkie's turn."

"Yes!" She pulled her hoof down in a Cha-Ching motion. She popped up, eyeing the ponies carefully. Twilight smiled and dimmed the lights with her magic. "This is a story that was actually experienced."

"Oh brother..." Sunny mumbled with a roll of her eyes.

"I was having a fantastic day. I was called into the kitchen by the timer, and when I opened the oven...ALL THE CUPCAKES WERE BURNT! Oooooo!" She moved her hooves in a 'ghostly' way. All the mares stared at her in confusion.

"Um...I can see how that would be scary..." Fluttershy whispered, though she didn't actually mean it. Sure, it was an inconvenience, but it wasn't scary.

"Oh, come on, you guys!" Pinkie whined. "That was the scariest thing I've ever heard!" Sunny finally cracked, and burst out laughing. She struggled to breathe as she totally lost it.

"Oh, gosh...Pinkie! Pinkie, that was....that was priceless!" She wheezed, holding her chest as she finally started to calm down.

"Well... It was kind of funny." Pinkie said with a bright smile. "I mean, I never burn my cupcakes!" Sunny finally slowed down to a light giggle and rested an arm on Rainbow's shoulder.

"Oh...that was great. Now it's my turn." She cleared her throat before anypony could object. Not that they were going to. "There once was an old mare who lived in a small town. She was very poor, and very lonely, so when she died, nopony seemed to care."

"Aww, that's so sad..." Fluttershy said from her sleeping bag. Sunny cleared her throat before continuing.

"At first she was happy to die. She wanted to see her late husband. Suddenly, she remembered just how important she was to certain things. Without her, her plants would die. Without her, her cats would starve. So she was hesitant." The mares listened intently as Sunny continued.

"She lay on her death bed, wishing it would all be over, when a stallion knocks on her door. It was a notice, saying that her house was planned to be destroyed for a new market. She grew angry, but the anger only quickened her death. She swore vengeance on all insensitive ponies who would dare to do such a thing. And now, every time you do something insensitive, you'll have a week of terrible luck."

"Whoa..." Rainbow said, leaning back on her front legs. "You just make that up?" Sunny nodded with a proud smile.

"Yeah, I kind of made it up as I went along." She cleared her throat before looking up at the other ponies. "Hey, you know what? We should totally kick this sleepover up a notch!" She said, nudging Rainbow.

"Yeah, we should talk about personal stuff like teenagers always do!" She said, sitting up. "You know, not this kiddy stuff that little fillies do at their slumber parties." She said with a roll of her eyes.

"What's wrong with the stuff we're doing now?" Twilight asked, watching as Rainbow Dash walked into the kitchen.

"Hey, Twilight, got any bottles?" She shouted from the other room. Sunny locked up suddenly before chasing after her. There was a loud crash and Rainbow shouting in pain.

"Ow! Hey! Don't hit me!" There was a silence before Rainbow walked out of the room, rubbing her head. "Uh...Nevermind." She said, awkwardly sitting down in her spot. Sunny followed, sitting back in her spot as well.

"How about something less...extreme?" She asked, turning to Rainbow with a sharp glare in her eyes. Rainbow nodded feverishly, looking away in fright.

"Ooh!" Rarity squealed suddenly, popping up out of her spot. "Let's talk about our first kisses!" She said, happily clapping her hooves together in excitement.

"Pfft. How about our first times?" Rainbow said with a smirk. Sunny growled at her, and she yelped before nodding her head. "Yeah, yeah! That sounds good!"

"I guess we could..." Twilight said, rubbing her chin. Fluttershy shrank into her bag again.

"Um...I'd...rather not..." She whimpered. Rarity laid a comforting hoof on what would be her side if she wasn't covered by sleeping bag.

"Worry not, Fluttershy. We won't force you to say something you don't want to share." She said with a comforting smile. Fluttershy nodded gratefully before looking up at Applejack, who was currently trying to sneak away.

"AJ, where ya going?" Sunny asked, watching as Applejack froze. She gave a nervous chuckle before sitting down.

"What ya talking about? Ah ain't going nowhere!" She said, nervously fidgeting. Sunny raised an eyebrow before smirking.

"Alright then, you can go first." Applejack lowered her head in shame.

"Ain't nothing to tell. Ah ain't really had time for that sort of thing." She said, looking off to the side self consciously. Rarity let out a dramatic gasp.

"What!? But Applejack, you're already twenty three!" She shouted in shock. Applejack let out a frustrated sigh.

"Yeah, yeah, ah know. Ya don't have to rub it in my face Rares." She said with a pout. Sunny cleared her throat before speaking up.

"Sorry for putting you on the spot, AJ." She said, looking off to the side as well. How could a mare as amazing as AJ not have kissed somepony yet? She thought to herself as she turned to Twilight. "How about you, Twi?"

"Who me?" She let out a nervous chuckle before clearing her throat.

"Don't tell me you've never kissed anypony either!" Rainbow shouted, placing her hooves on her hips.

"I-I don't socialize much, okay?" She explained, shiftily looking around. Rainbow sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Not like that's much of a surprise..." She muttered. Sunny scoffed and smacked her upside the head. "Ow! What the hay was that for!?"

"You dissed your best friend, that's what." Twilight giggled at their shenanigans, and Sunny turned to Rarity. "How about you, la belle Rarity?" Rarity blushed at the words. Sunny grinned. The beautiful Rarity in French. She had a feeling Rarity would fall for it.

"W-well, I do have a story." She said with an embarrassed smile. "There was a stallion at a fair, and we got to know each other. It ended in a horrific breakup, but I got my first kiss out of it, so..."

"Come on, Rarity. Spill the details..." Pinkie hissed, sliding across the floor in front of Rarity. The white mare looked like she had just seen a cat grow two heads, but she cleared her throat and continued.

"Yes, well, we were in my bedroom. It was valentines day and he had brought me flowers. When he got ready to leave, he spun around and gave me a surprise kiss." She was blushing at the memory, and a longing smile grew on her face. "Ah, memories."

"Yuck." Rainbow said, crossing her arms. Rarity glared at her with an unamused expression. Sunny nudged Dash with a smirk.

"If you think it's so gross, why don't you spill your first kiss?" She asked, causing Rainbow to blush. 'Twas a rare occurrence when Dash got flustered, but she sure was now.

"I don't have to spill anything if I don't want to." She said, turning away and sticking her nose in the air. Rarity grew a smirk.

"Careful, Dash. You're starting to look like a Canterlot snob." She said with a giggle. Rainbow stuck out her tongue, just noticing the evil look on Sunny's face.

"I bet you don't wanna tell cause you don't have anything to tell." She said with an evil chuckle. Rainbow groaned and pushed her away.

"Fine! I'll tell! Geez, you guys are acting like it's government secrets." She said with a roll of her eyes. "It was with a mare okay? Don't judge." Rarity suddenly burst out laughing, quickly catching herself and covering her mouth with a hoof.

"Sorry, I don't mean to mock. I just...I always had the inkling." She said with a giggle. Sunny noticed that Fluttershy was now huddled all the way in her sleeping bag and was shaking in fear. She turned to Rainbow with a hopeful look.

"So, who was it?" Pinkie asked before Sunny could. She gasped suddenly before narrowing her eyes at Dash. "Was it Gilda?"

"What!? No!" Rainbow shook her head in disgust. "Yuck! Pinkie, she's a Griffon!" Rainbow said, pushing Pinkie away from her. "It was a pony, and she was a Pegasus. That's all I'm gonna say."

"Was she in your flight school?" Sunny asked with an excited smile. Rainbow raised an eyebrow before shrugging.

"Maybe. Maybe not. I'm not gonna say."

"She totally was!" Sunny squealed in excitement, bouncing around. Rainbow looked shocked.

"Can you read minds or something? Sheesh." She looked away and crossed her arms. Her gaze switched to Fluttershy still huddled in her sleeping bag, and her eyes filled with concern. "Hey, Flutters, you okay?"

"No." Came the frightened reply. Rainbow waved a dismissive hoof.

"Geez, who got your feathers in a ruffle? Relax, Nothing's getting out of this mouth." She said with a proud nod. That's when Fluttershy started crying.

"It was Fluttershy!?" Sunny shouted in surprise. Rainbow shot out of her spot and pointed an accusatory hoof at Sunny.

"Arrest her! She can read minds!" She shouted, shielding her head with her to her hoof. Twilight rolled her eyes with an unamused expression.

"Come on, girls, let's all just take a deep breath and-" Before she could finish, Pinkie broke out into song.

"Dashie and Flutters under a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" She said, jumping into the air and waving her arms around frantically.

"This is why I didn't want to talk about it!" Fluttershy shouted, breaking into tears.
