Chapters Sleepovers and Slumber Parties
Burst had just finished giving his performance and went to greet his friends. "Well guys, I ROCKED THE DRAGON!"
"I'll say!", Inferno said with a smile. "So what do we do this weekend?" Sunset then had an idea.
"How about we each have a sleepover? Should be fun for all of us! Girls and guys at separate houses of course."
"Moon. Are you going to be fine without using me as a pillow?", Burst asked.
"I was stuck on the moon for 1000 years with moon rocks for pillows. I'll be fine. Besides I can just pop in on your dreams."
"Okay. But I'll miss gazing at your hair. It looks like the stars." Moon smiled as she hugged Burst for complimenting her. "So who's hosting each party?"
"I'll host the girls.", Celestia said. "Luna and I's house is big enough for it."
"We can use my dad's mansion.", Gold suggested. "It's got plenty of room."
"Alright then! We'll set it up for tomorrow! See you guys then!" As the day ended, all of them made their plans and set aside their belonging they wanted to bring with them. Sunset even wrote to Princess Twilight to invite her to the sleepover.
"It'll be nice to tell Twilight all that's happened. I wonder if she'll freak out again. Pinkie's almost made a whole album of her freak out expressions." Sunset then got a reply. "Looks like she'll be able to show up after all."

The next afternoon Burst and the others arrived at Gold's mansion. "Hey guys! Didn't expect you to show up this early."
"Eh. Dragons are faster than car rides. No traffic.", Burst said. "We brought movies, snacks, sleeping bags, and a couple consoles and games."
"Well guys, you didn't need to do all that. Let me show you!", Gold showed them to his home's entertainment center. "Behold!" All the guys' mouths dropped at the sight of the gigantic flat screen! Not to mention Gold also seemed to have almost every console in existence!
"Gold.", Inferno said.
"Yeah?"
"You've got the room I only dreamed of having as little kid. It's beautiful!", Inferno said with teary eyes.
"How about we start off with a movie marathon? I brought Jurassic Park, Star Wars Episodes IV to VII, and the transformers movie.", Ace said.
"....Which one?", Burst asked.
"Uhhh, the first one?"
"Okay. We're good. Might as well introduce the two newest members to join our group. Venus Bloomer and Night Fang. Welcome to the club!"
"Thanks!", Venus said with a smile. "Didn't expect to be friends with the current duel champion. So who's your monster partner? Mine's Black Rose Dragon."
"Mine's Destiny End Dragoon.", Night said proudly.
"Red Eyes for me."
"Timaeus is my partner.", Ace said.
"My partner's Dragluon.", Shadow added.
"Crimson Dragon's my main monster.", Gold said.
"Red Dragon Archfiend all the way.", Ice said.
"BLS is my main.", Steel said.
"Blue Eyes for life.", Burst said with a smirk. "How about we start with an eight-person match in Smash Bros.? I've heard it's possible, but I've never seen one." They proceeded to engage in the legendary eight-person smash. It didn't go as planned. "Okay. Who's hitting who? There's too many characters on the screen! I can't even remember which one I selected!"
"I can't tell who got the assist trophy!", Inferno screamed. "Who's got the trophy?!"
"Wait, who got the star power up?!", Gold said. "What's even going on anymore?!"
"Who's playing as Meta Knight? He's OP!", Ace yelled.
"Look! The smash ball!", Burst said! This promptly caused everyone to make a desperate grab for it! "Wait who got it?"
"Only one way to find out. Everyone press their smash attack button!", Ice said. They all pressed the smash button, and only one character was left standing. "Well. That was less than ideal."
"So who was playing as Cloud?", Inferno asked. "Because whoever was, you won."
"I think that was me.", Shadow said. "No..no...I was wrong. I was Meta Knight."
"Sweet. I won.", Ace said with a grin. "But just to be safe guys? No more eight-person smash. It's WAY too crazy."
"Agreed. Wonder what the girls are up to?", Steel speculated.
Meanwhile with the girls...
"So has anything exciting happened in this world Sunset?", Princess Twilight asked. "I haven't received much word from you since I last came."
"We've kinda been busy.", Sunset said with a smile. "We rescued our own Starlight and most of us have boyfriends now."
"That's wonderful! So who're the lucky guys?"
"My heart belongs to Inferno.", Rarity said with a fond smile.
"Steel's pretty cool for a boyfriend.", Rainbow Dash said.
"I'm currently dating Golden Rise.", Sunset added.
"Shadow and I are going out.", Starlight said.
"Ace is the best boyfriend I could ask for!", Sonata beamed.
"I've kept track of every relationship!", Pinkie proudly said. "Dark Ice is dating Indigo Zap, and Adagio and Aria are dating Venus Bloomer and Night Fang respectively! The only ones still single are me, Applejack, Fluttershy, and our Twilight."
"Don't forget that Burst is dating me and Moon.", Celestia added as she went to talk with the girls.
"He makes quite the pillow. Especially since he hugs you back.", Moon said with a fond smile.
"Well now that we've covered our relationships, I think I should tell you about some of the crazy things we've had to deal with.", Sunset said. "Namely how our Starlight was controlled by this creep called Paradox Truth. Thankfully the guys were able to destroy him and save Starlight. It's also where Steel stole a kiss from Rainbow Dash."
"You'll never let me live that down will you?", Rainbow Dash asked flatly.
"Darling. It's how you two became an item. Of course you denied it the whole time it was obvious.", Rarity said with a giggle.
"Anyway...", Sunset continued. "There was also the time when Fluttershy got possessed by a vampire spirit and we had to save her. That was one crazy Halloween."
"That reminds me of the Flutterbat incident.", Twilight said. "What else happened?"
"Well there was Burst reuniting with his dad, and him defeating his evil step brother."
"How evil are we talking?"
"Imagine Burst's complete opposite in every way."
"Wow. That's bad. So anything else interesting happen?"
"Things have been pretty quiet. But I'm sure some form of adventure is bound to find the guys and us. There's never a dull moment."
"Like now!", Pinkie said as she began a pillow fight!
"Oh it's on now!", Rainbow said as she and the others engaged in all-out pillow combat.
Sleepovers and Slumber Parties
Burst and the others were holding their movie marathon when a portal opened up from out of nowhere! "What the heck?!" A certain chaos spirit Princess Twilight knew well came through.
"So this is Pegasus' world.", Discord said as he took note of the guys faces. "Oh. Hello there! Discord, master of all things chaotic at your serivce! Pardon me, but do you know where I might find Maximillion Pegasus?" Pegasus had just walked in.
"Discord? Is that you? It's been far too long old friend! How's life been?"
"Same old, same old. By the way, who're the ones that saw me come through the portal?"
"My adopted son Golden rise. He's from Equestria same as you. And the others are his friends."
"Pleased to meet you.", Discord said as he shook their hands.
"You never told me you were friends with the spirit of chaos dad.", Gold said. "Now I think I know who inspired your toon cards."
"Guilty as charged.", Discord said with a small bow. He then took a good look at Burst and Inferno. "Excuse me, but you two wouldn't happen to be Burst Stream and Inferno Flare would you?"
"That's us.", Burst said proudly. "I'm guessing you heard about us from Princess Twilight?"
"Indeed I did. She also told me of how you saved the world. By the way, what's this world's me like?"
"Exactly the same minus the chaos powers."
"Sorry for crashing your party. Here's a little excitement to make up for it." Discord snapped his fingers and a loud noise was heard from the kitchen! Burst and his friends went to investigate, and saw a Red Eyes Black Chick raiding the fridge! The little dragon noticed them, and flew right at Ace! The dragon then latched onto his face!
"Get it off me! I can't see!", Ace panicked! Inferno tried prying off the baby Red Eyes, but it wouldn't budge!
"This thing's got a good grip!" Inferno gave one last heave and managed to pry the chick off. The little dragon then perched on top of Inferno's head. "Heh. I think she likes me." The baby Red Eyes then nuzzled Inferno's cheek in response. Soon Red Eyes himself materialized.
"There she is! How did she even get here Inferno?", Red Eyes asked. "She didn't cause you too much trouble did she?"
Inferno handed Red Eyes Black chick over to Red Eyes. "Besides raiding the fridge, not really."The group then heard splashing coming from the pool! "Oh great. What now?" The group then saw another duel monsters creature swimming around in the pool. Codarus. He seemed to notice them and dragged Steel in for a swim! Codarus then splashed Steel when he surfaced!
"So that's how you wanna play huh?" Steel splashed Codarus back. Then an idea came to him as he tossed a ball to the sea serpent. Codarus then bounced the ball on his nose like a seal. He then swam up to Steel and licked him before returning to the monster world. "I won't lie that was kind of fun." The group went back inside to find a boxing ring with Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw waiting for his next opponent. One of them.
"This one's mine!", Inferno said as he stepped into the ring. Discord then appeared in his corner.
"List kid! Watch out for his hooks and aim for his face He ain't called Glassjaw for nothing!" The bell rang and Glassjaw came out swinging! Inferno dodged his punches no problem, and delivered the winning blow!
"Shoryuken!", Inferno shouted as he set his fist ablaze! Knocking Glassjaw out!
"Ladies and gentlemen! Your new champion!", Gold cheered.
"The events for you and Burst are next.", Discord said as a two Blade Kngihts showed up. Burst summoned his sword and Gold summoned his own. A red blade made to resemble Crimson Dragon. The Knights charged at them, but Burst and Gold dodged and counter attacked! Gold took down his opponent no problem while Burst was still dueling against the other Blade Knight.
"Have at thee!", Blade Knight said as he charged! Burst kept a calm face, and unleashed a strike so fast no one saw it coming! "A worthy duel wielder of Blue Eyes." Blade Knight said as he returned to the monster world.
"So what's next?", Burst asked with a smile. Discord snapped his fingers and the group was transported inside the giant monster movie they were watching.
"Best seats in the house.", Discord said as he summoned popcorn so they could truly enjoy the two kaiju clashing! Once the movie ended, they were back in the real world. "Well it's nice to meet those who appreciate a little chaos. But I must be off. Farewell!" And he disappeared in a flash of light.
"Well, this evening was more exciting.", Burst said. "I wonder if the girls are having as much fun as we are?"

"Moon. You simply MUST tell me how you get your hair to flow like that! It's as gorgeous as the night sky!", Rarity begged.
"Thanks. It flows because of my magic. You could learn to do it too. It barely uses any magic, so there won't be any strain in maintaining it." Moon then demonstrated as she made her hair normal and back again. "See? Easy. I taught the same trick to Celestia." Celestia smiled as she showed off to the girls too. "How about you try first Sunset?" Sunset's face lit up at hearing this.
"I always wanted to try this kind of spell!" Sunset focused a small part of her magic, and her hair shimmered as a result. "How does it look?"
"As gorgeous as the sunset itself!", Rarity said in awe. "Let me try!" Rarity used the same technique, and her hair looked like it was made of silk. "Not bad if I do say so myself.", she said with a smile. "Who else wants to try?" Rainbow Dash's looked like lightning was arcing through it, Starlight's looked it was made out of a galaxy, Fluttershy's looked like it was flowing through the wind, Pinkie's looked like it was bouncing, Applejack's looked like it had an earthy texture to it, and lastly Twilight's hair looked like it was sparkling.
"I think that's enough showing off for now.", Twilight said. "So now that we know who's dating who, how did your first dates go?"
"Inferno and I dueled against Burst and Celestia. And after some dinner he serenaded me. Ahh. It was lovely.", Rarity said fondly.
"Burst did the same for me.", Celestia said with a smile. "He sang his heart out to me that night."
"My first date with Burst was in his dreams. He gave me the childhood I never had. The two of us had a lot of fun watching TV shows and movies and we got in a good gaming session. We even joined up with Celestia and soon the two of us made out with him.", Moon said with a blissful smile. All the girl awed and Rarity blew her nose it was so sweet.
"Ace sang for me on our date. I even got my singing voice back from him.", Sonata beamed.
"Gold gave me his late adopted mother's ring to show how much I meant to him.", Sunset said as she blushed at the memory.
"My first date with Shadow had some mishaps, but it ended on a high note when I got my new deck.", Starlight said.
"Steel and I's date was pretty good. Most of the girls' jaws dropped when I kissed him right in front of them.", Rainbow said with a smirk.
"My date with Night Fang was nice.", Aria said with a small smile. "The guy's like a puppy. Loyal and pretty sweet."
"Venus Bloomer got me quite the flower arrangement. His talent suits his name.", Adagio said.
"So are you still crushing on Flash, Twilight?", Sunset asked. Twilight blushed!
"N-no! I've got more important things to worry about!" All the girls shared a laugh at Twilight trying to conceal the fact she liked Flash.

"Hey Moon? I've had a question.", Twilight asked.
"Sure. What is it?"
"When you were fused with Luna you took on a darker form of her body and now it's become your own body. So can you still fuse with someone?"
"I could, but it's hard to manage two minds at once. But I guess I could show off. Rarity, I'd like your assistance with this. You don't mind do you?"
"Of course not. When you're ready darling.", Rarity said as she prepared for Moon to fuse with her. Moon turned into a pile of mist and entered Rarity's body. There was a brief flash, and a figure that combined Rarity and Moon's traits stood. "Oh my. This form does look quite flattering." Moon then exited Rarity.
"So that's how it works. It's also easier if the one I'm fusing with willingly let me in. That's why my fusion with Luna and Rarity was so seamless. But I like being in my own skin.", Moon said with a smile.
"So what other abilities did you keep that you shared with Luna?", Twilight asked.
"Well I can dream walk and vanquish nightmares. And I can still alter dreams. I even went on a literal dream date with Burst and Celestia.", Moon said with a bright smile. "Sometimes I can't believe how lucky we got."
"Burst's definitely grown up since I first saw him as a fresh man.", Celestia said with a fond smile. "He was a cute little guy, and now he's grown up to be quite handsome. He was even willing to go shirtless on our dream date."
"Trust me. We've had the pleasure of seeing that sight by complete accident.", Rarity said with a giggle. "It was the day before he confessed his feelings for you. Not to mention I got a good look at Inferno being shirtless when I had him model some trunks I made." Rarity then blushed at the memory.
"If we're done with the mushy stuff, I've got a better question.", Rainbow said. "How many of us have beaten our boyfriends in a duel? I won when I dueled Steel."
"Inferno and I haven't dueled yet.", Rarity said.
"I lost to Gold.", Sunset said with a sheepish smile.
"Ace kicked my butt.", Sonata added.
"I won against Shadow.", Starlight said.
"I beat Venus Bloomer on our date.", Adagio said proudly.
"Night Fang beat me pretty good.", Aria said with a defeated smile.
"Both Moon and I have lost when we've dueled Burst. Then again, he is the reigning duel champion.", Celestia said.
"Then by default, those of us who did beat our boyfriends get a 20% awesomeness increase!", Rainbow boasted.
"And because Steel stole a kiss from you he gets a 20% awesome bonus over you.", Aj said with a smirk.
"Why won't you let me live that down?!", Rainbow nearly screamed. "One time!"
"This has been fun, but I'm turning in for the night." Twilight said with a yawn.
"I think a lot of us are feeling the same way.", Rarity said sleepily. One by one, the rest of the girls fell asleep.
Sleepovers and Slumber Parties
The guys had also followed suit, and were fast asleep. Moon noticed their dreams and the girls and an idea came to her. Using her magic, she linked each guy's dreams to one of the girls' dreams. The first one she saw was Inferno and Rarity. In it, Rarity was a princess being held captive by a wicked knight. His fortress seemed impregnable, until a lone figure in a robe showed up and kicked the gate down! An army of enemies awaited the figure, but he simply drew a sword that looked like the Red Eyes Black Dragon and charged forth! Striking each enemy that took a shot at him! He wasted no time in destroying them as he advanced on the tower where Rarity was held. The lone figure then challenged the wicked knight, and Rarity looked on as the figure's robe was cut to ribbons by the wicked knight. The figure turned out to be Inferno, and he clashed with the wicked knight! Inferno was soon cornered, but used this to his advantage by sliding under the villain and slashing at him while he was in shock at his evasion! Inferno then walked over to Rarity. "So where do you wanna go from here?", he asked with a grin.
"My hero.", Rarity said with a smile as she sealed Inferno's victory with a kiss. Moon smiled and moved on to Sunset and Gold's dream. The two of them were in front of a mirror that showed their pony forms and the two shared a kiss. Then Moon moved on to Rainbow Dash and Steel's dream. There Rainbow was rocking out on stage and Steel showed up and played the grand solo that served as the finale. Rainbow then tackled Steel backstage and made out with him. Moon giggled at the sight of that. The next dream she went to was Ice dreaming about Indigo Zap. The two of them were having a duel date. Starlight and Shadow were looking at the stars while riding on Dragluon in their linked dream. Sonata was mermaid in her and Ace's linked dream, and she was kissing Ace who was in dragon armor. The two of them seemed to be enjoying themselves, so Moon moved onto Adagio's dream next. In it, Adagio was in a field where Venus had arranged the flowers in a message for her. She was so happy she gave him a nearly bone-crushing hug. The next dream Moon looked at was Aria and Night Fang's. There Aria was rubbing his belly and he was laughing hysterically before she stopped and kissed him. Satisfied all her friends were having sweet dreams, Moon then paid Celestia a visit. 'Ready to visit Burst now?"
"I've been waiting all night.", Celestia said with a smile. "What kind of dream do you think he's having?"
"Knowing him, we'll always be surprised.", Moon said with a smile. The two went into Burst's dream and saw him training with his weapons. Burst was soon finished and rested against a tree. Celestia and Moon then decided to give him a wake up call when they each kissed him.
"Somehow I knew you two would show up.", Burst said with a smile as he opened his eyes. "You two caught me just before things were going to get crazy!"
"In what regards?", Celestia asked.
"Having a lightsaber duel against Megatron while I piloted the megazord crazy.", Burst replied.
"That awesome huh?", Moon said with a smirk as she and Celestia pressed their bodies against Burst and held him tight. "So how would that compare to this?"
"It doesn't.", Burst said with a loving smile as he, Celestia, and Moon enjoyed each others presence until they awakened.
Sleepovers and Slumber Parties
Burst and the guys were waking up with big smiles. "Best. Dreams. Ever.", they all said lazily. "Hey. Since we were dreaming about our girl, why not meet up with them?", Burst suggested. All the other guys agreed whole-heatedly agreed. They called up their respective girlfriend and they planned to meet at Sugar Cube Corner. "Well boys. Let's not keep our ladies waiting." The guys changed into their usual outfits and got ready to meet the girls. The girls followed suit and soon they both arrived at Sugar Cube Corner. Once they opened the door, they found quite the sweet surprise. All of their monster partners had prepared a special sweets bar for them. Each partner had made a special treat for each relationship. "You guys...", Burst said with a smile.
"Hey. If all of you can go the extra mile for saving our world and yours, why not come up with one sweet thank you?", Blue Eyes said with a grin. Dark Magician Girl was chatting with the other magician girls before she went over to Ace and Sonata.
"Thanks DMG! This was pretty sweet of you.", Ace said.
"Not as sweet as how much you love Sonata.", the other magician girls teased. Ace blushed after hearing that and Sonata kissing him on the cheek. Everyone enjoyed the sweets that were made for their relationships and spending time with the ones they loved.
"I guess you could say this morning....", Blue Eyes said as he slipped on a pair of sunglasses. "Was the icing on the cake."
Sleepovers and Slumber Parties
"Hey guys?", Inferno asked. "Are we an anime?"
"What makes you say that?", Ace asked.
"We can summon monsters, and our greatest power come from our friends. Also, we can shoot blasts of energy and perform special moves like Dragon Ball Z. Also we have gorgeous girlfriends."
"Inferno, I don't think we're an anime. We're just lucky.", Burst said. "Although I think our audience has other ideas."
"What was that last part?"
"Nothing. Just something Pinkie was going on about. Never really under stood what she meant by it though...oh well. So what's next on the list?"
"AAWWWWOOOO!" The group froze when they saw Night Fang howling at the full moon and he seemed to have wolf ears and a tail.
"Night? Are you SURE that tail and ears are cosplay?"
Night sighed. "Nope. I've had them for as long as I can remember. You don't think I'm a freak do you?" The guys just chuckled and activated their monster partner powers.
"Not really. We can use our monster partners' powers and get new forms like this. Although now I know why Aria likes to rub your belly."
Meanwhile with the girls...
"Aria? What's up?", Sonata asked.
"I think I heard Night howling. Maybe I'm just hearing things."
