"Psh, playing in the rain at a cold night doesn't make you sick! Watch me!"

Twilight has a sleepover with her friends on a cold stormy night, as they play truth or dare to pass the fright. When a dare from a certain pony tells the other pony to do...Twilight and her friends know that isn't the right thing to do from the decision that one pony made.

Don't do it!

Don't do it!

CLASH! The lightning went as the main six were inside Twilight's castle screaming at the sound. A sleepover with thunderstorms? Seems great at first! But when it comes to your home being made of all kinds, it can actually be a little frightening. The ponies inside giggled as they saw their scared faces, this was actually their first sleepover together since years of them being friends. So, why not have a little sleepover while we are still bonding?

"You should've seen Pinkie Pie! Her face was priceless!"

The cyan mare said as she laughed a little. Pinkie returned the giggle as she bit into another one of her delicious cupcake. Mmm! Vanilla with creamy creamy delight swirled on top! Nothing better than that, eh? It had only been an hour since the sleepover had started and they had been having a blast! Each having a giggle every hour, as their friendship glowed. But, not everything lasts forever, for they were getting bored every hour. It was getting close to 10:00 p.m, and the storm was getting worse. The weather ponies had put up a big cold thunderstorm which followed the next day. To the cyan Pegasus it seemed they were forming the storm of the century! Just looking at the outside of your window made you frown.
Rainbow sighed as she was resting on the floor with her head rested on her right hoof.

"Am I the only one really bored here?"

"Nope."

Applejack replied as she has her face buried in her own hooves. Pinkie watched everypony, thinking of what they can do to make the spirit come back to life.

"We can play a game!"

"We already played a couple of board games, Pinks."

"Hm....Oh! Oh! How about Truth or Dare? We haven't played that one yet!"

"I'm in!" The cyan Pegasus said with a smile, as everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Truth or Dare it is! Okay, er...Rarity! Truth or Dare?"

'Oh Celestia! Pinkie just asked me Truth or Dare!! Alright Rarity, calm down...just say Truth!'

"I choose Truth."

"Okie dokie loki! Is it true that you like marshmallows?!"

"Uh..yes?"

"You sure?"

"Yes."

Rainbow and Applejack started laughing quietly, as Rarity made a frown.

"Just because I like marshmallows or have a coat color similar to it, doesn't mean I am one!"

"B-but you l-like marshmallows!!"

"Hmph! What if I said that your mane looks like skittles?!"

Applejack looked at the disappointed Pegasus, as she started laughing. Rainbow sighed, as Applejack started playing with Dash's hair.

"Ah would have ta agree with Rares here, yer here mane looks like skittles!"

"Oh!! Maybe her hair tastes like skittles!"

They all looked at Pinkie shokingly, as she stopped giggling, "Whaat?"

"Oookay, moving on...Rares your turn."

Dash said as she tried to forget what Pinkie just said. Rarity nodded.

"Twilight, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth!"

"Hm...is it true that you have read the book series, 'Twilight'?"

"U-um....fine, yes I did!"

"You read Twilight?"

"Of course! I read every single book in this castle!"

"Okay..."

Twilight sighed, "Okay moving on, Fluttershy, Truth or Dare?"

"U-um Truth.."

"Why does everypony keep on choosing truth?!"

"Rainbow! Calm down, we are almost getting to you and Applejack."

"Fine. But please don't always choose Truth."

"...okay, um, Fluttershy! Is it true that angel is your favorite animal?"

"Of course he is!" Fluttershy smiled, "u-um Dashie, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare!"

"I um Dare you to...put your mane in a braid."

"Okay?" Rainbow starts braiding her hair, and finishes. "Is that what you wanted me to do?"

Fluttershy nods with a smile, as Rainbow sighs and turns to Applejack.

"Alright, Applejack! Truth or Dare?"

"Dare!"

"Heh, I dare you to hoofwrestle Twi!"

"Alright then!"

"Wait..WHAT?!" The alicorn said with panic as Applejack approached her.

"Alright sugarcube! Let's hoofwrestle..."

*****************************************************************
"Ow.."

Twilight said as she watched Fluttershy massage her right hoof, which Applejack destroyed during the hoofwrestle they had.

'Celestia! How strong her hooves are!'

Applejack sat back down in her spot, and turned to Dash. Rainbow looked at her and motioned her hoof, telling the farm pony to continue the small game.

"Dash, Truth or Dare?"

'Choose Dare! Choose Dare! CHOOSE DARE!'

"Dare of course!"

Applejack smirked at the Pegasus as she replied, "Ah Dare ya to go play in the rain outside fer a minute!"

"Challenge accepted!"

"No! Dash don't do it!"

"Why not, Twi?"

"First of all, there is a huge storm outside which is mixed with the cold and rain, Second of all, you'll get sick, and I would have to run some errands to zecora!"

"Psh, playing in the rain at a cold night doesn't make you sick! Watch me!"

"Don't. You. Dare. Open. That. Door!"

Twilight said with a furious tone as Rainbow's hoof was touching the door knob. Rainbow turned her attention back to the door, and...opened it.

"Close that door! Now!"

"A dare's a Dare, Twi!"

Rainbow said as she slowly made her way outside, feeling the rain hit her whole body, as powerful winds threw her around. Rainbow giggled as she looked back at the angry alicorn in the doorway.

"I'm only giving you thirty seconds out there then you're coming inside!!"

Twilight yelled as Rainbow began jumping on a couple of puddles that were around her. Twilight facehoofed as she saw her friend playing.

"ALRIGHT! THIRTY SECONDS ARE OVER! COME INSIDE!"

"NO!"

"DON'T MAKE ME COME OUT AFTER YOU!"

"FINE! I'M COMING EGGHEAD!"

Rainbow chuckled as she walked back to the castle, to meet the alicorn's eyes on the doorway. The Pegasus gave out a nervous chuckle before being dragged inside with Twilight's magic, as the door closed behind her.

"Are you serious Rainbow?!"

"Serious what? I was just doing my Dare, Twi!"

"Yeah! But wait till you have to stay grounded for a couple of days due to sickness!"

"Look I'm sorry Twi, but I know me! I'm a healthy pegasus, plus it's not like it's the first time i've been outside in bad weather."

"Yes, but this weather is the biggest storm we've faced in ponyville, Dash, it's still not so safe to be out there."

"Sorry.."

Twilight took in a big breath and sighed, "it's okay, just dry yourself off before coming over here with us." The alicorn said as she gave the soaken wet Pegasus a towel.

"Alright egghead." The Pegasus said as she began to dry herself off.

Twilight went back to her spot, while her other friends whispered to each other. The alicorn gave a confused look, "What are you gals talking about?"

Rarity was the first to answer back, "N-no thing deary!"

They all stopped whispering as Rainbow sat back down in her spot. Applejack rubbed the back of her neck, "Sorry fer making ya go out there, RD.."

"Eh, it's alright! Nothing bad happened to me anyways, so we're good!"

Applejack smiled as she gave the Pegasus a hug, while Twilight yawned a little. The alicorn looked back at the clock to see it written, '11:39' on it. She turned back to her friends.

"Okay gals, one last Dare before we go hit the hay."

They all nodded. "Alright! Pinks, Truth or Dare?"

"Darey Dare, Dashie!"

"Okay, I dare you to...keep on saying 'Chimney Cherry Changas' for ten minutes!"

"Oki dokie loki! Chimney cherry changa, chimmey cherry changa! Chimney cher-"

"Okay girls, time for rest!" Twilight said with a smile as she turned off the lights. Every one of her friends dug into their own sleeping bags, and shut their eyes, including the alicorn. Pinkie kept on doing her Dare, but after the ten minutes were done she stopped, and fell fast asleep.

Rainbow tossed and turned for a good minute before finding the perfect spot. She was cold. No denying it, she snuggled deep into her pillow trying to keep warm. She sighed, why was she cold? Everypony else were fast asleep, none shivering. The Pegasus got out her left hoof and touched her forehead, only to feel warmth. Rainbow shrugged it off, maybe her friends were the same, no biggie.

Wait. She knew what these symptoms meant...

'oh horseapples..'
