“What’s this about, Twilight?” Applejack glanced around the throne room of Twilight’s castle, finding herself, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash all standing in a line in front of the princess. At their sides, each had a bag, the contents of which Applejack could easily surmise.
“Well, Applejack, I’m glad you all decided to come. As you have no doubt guessed by the provisions I’ve asked you each to bring, I thought tonight would be a great night for a sleepover.” Twilight flashed a smile to her friends. “Fillies only, of course. Spike’s in his room for the night.”
Rainbow Dash shrugged. “I guessed that was what you were up to.”
“Woohoo!” Pinkie jumped into the air.
Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy exchanged some skeptical glances. “Um, Twilight, why a sleepover all of a sudden? Not that I’m opposed, it’s just…unexpected.” Rarity looked back at Twilight.
“Well, after getting this huge castle, and spending a few nights alone here with just Spike, I realized something.” Twilight frowned slightly. “You girls are my first real friends. I’ve missed out on so much of my childhood, so I thought it would be a good idea to try and capture those memories.”
“Um…I don’t want to be a downer, but…we’re all grown mares. It won’t quite be the same as if you were a filly, Twilight.”
Twilight flashed a cunning smile. “Right you are, Fluttershy. Which is why I have done a little research.” Twilight levitated a book into view. “I found a temporary age regression spell that will turn us back into fillies for one night.”
“Wait, so you want to turn us into fillies for a sleepover?” Applejack raised an eyebrow.
Twilight nodded with a please smile on her face.
“Sounds fun!” Pinkie rushed up to the book, snatching it from Twilight’s magic. “Could you imagine how much fun we could have? And it will be like we’ve all known each other since childhood!”
“It seems a little farfetched…” Rarity placed her hoof to her chin. “But, I suppose it would be fun to relive my youth. I’m in.”
“Well, as long as we turn back, I don’t suppose it would hurt to do it for one night.” Fluttershy nodded.
Rainbow contemplated for a moment before shrugging. “I guess it could be fun.”
“Well, Applejack?” Twilight asked, taking the book back from Pinkie.
She rubbed her head. “I suppose. We can turn back in the mornin’ right?”
“It’s an automatic process, so yes.” Twilight flipped open to the right page. “Are you girls ready?” After a resounding ‘yes,’ a purple cloud of magic formed around the group of friends. In a bright white flash, it was done.
Standing where the six, fully grown mares once were was now a group of little fillies. They were no taller than Cheerilee’s students. The group of friends looked over their shrunken bodies, Applejack pulled her head out from her now oversized hat. “That was a trip…” she muttered, rubbing her head. She tried to place her hat so it would stay, but she found it sliding over her eyes.
“Oh, this brings back so many memories! I was a quick little filly, you know!” Rainbow called out. Her voice cracked at the end,making her flash red in the face before covering her mouth. “Don’t say anything, okay…”
Everyone giggled.
“Wow, my hair was frizzy when I was younger.” Pinkie pulled a strand of her mane tight and watched as it bounced back into place once she let go of it. As soon as it snapped back, her whole puff of a mane shook like jello and she giggled again.
“Oh, my goodness, Fluttershy!” Rarity called out. “You look adorable with a shorter mane, dear.” Fluttershy was the tallest of them all, but not by much. She had a short, pink mane that still tried to cover her face. She blushed as Rarity inspected her.
“T-thank you…” Fluttershy tried to hide behind her mane, but found it much harder to do when it was so short. “You’re…cute too, Rarity…” The designer’s mane was shorter as well, but still expertly curled.
“I still have wings…” Twilight remarked as she looked down at her sides. She was smaller and her mane a bit shorter as well, but she looked relatively the same as she had before the spell. “Oh, well. So, what shall we do first? Should I get my sleepover book?”
“No!” Rarity and Applejack said in unison. They looked at one another cracking a small smile. “I think, perhaps, we should…” Rarity paused, finding herself at a loss for words. “We should do whatever it is fillies normally do at sleepovers…”
“Oh!” Pinkie bounced up, landing on top of Rarity and pulling her into a hug. “We should make some popcorn and tell scary stories!”
“S-scary stories?” Fluttershy tensed.
“Sounds awesome!” Rainbow chimed in.
“I don’t think everypony’ll be okay with that.” Applejack’s hat slipped over her head again. With a sigh, she pushed it off, deciding to abandon it for the night.
“Perhaps we could just gossip, like we normally do?” Rarity offered.
“I would prefer that…” Fluttershy nodded.
“Alright. I can make the popcorn. You girls head on up to my room and get ready for some stories.”
After a few hours, an empty bowl of popcorn and a few jugs of juice gone dry, Twilight and her friends were all laying on her bed, laughing. “Anyway, that’s how I found out Gummy likes to play hide and seek!” Pinkie squealed in a high-pitched voice. Another roar of laughter came from the circle of friends.
“So, that’s why Mrs. Cake gets so jumpy around him.” Rainbow laughed.
“She was pretty mad about that one.” Pinkie started to laugh but was cut off by an exaggerated yawn. Her little mouth stretched wide and she found herself feeling drowsy. “I’m not usually tired so early,” she said, rubbing her eye.
“Now that you mention it…” Applejack yawned as well.
“Stop passing it around the room, you guys! We got to keep this party go—” Rainbow yawned as well. “Dang it, now you’ve got me doing it…”
“The spell tends to make you tired earlier than you normally would.” Twilight stretched her back and tiny wings before nestling back down into her spot on the bed.
“So, bedtime then?” Pinkie asked, her mane deflating and turning straight.
“Looks like it.” Rarity yawned as well and moved to the head of the bed.
“Let’s get some sleep then, girls.” Twilight used her magic to turn off the lights. “There’s more than enough room, so you can all just sleep in my bed.” Her nodded and slipped under the sheets under the cover of darkness. Just as Twilight laid her head down on her pillow, she heard Fluttershy whisper to get her attention.
Twilight rolled over to face her. “What’s up, Fluttershy?”
“I just wanted to say that I think this was a good idea tonight, Twilight.” Fluttershy smiled, though Twilight couldn’t see it. “I had fun.”
Twilight smiled back. “I did too.”
“Maybe we can do it again sometime,” Applejack added, joining in on their conversation. The rest agreed, their fatigue showing in their voices.
“Well, I’m glad you all had as much fun as I did tonight.” Twilight friends closed in around her, each cuddling close to one another under the huge blanket. She cozied herself up to her friends as well, feeling their warmth against. Twilight’s heart filled with joy. “Goodnight, girls.” Twilight closed her eyes and nestled into the embrace.
