Chapters Burst was sleeping pretty soundly until he heard a voice calling for him to wake up. "Burst.", Moon called sweetly. Burst let out a yawn as he opened his eyes. "Good morning."
Burst smiled. "Morning gorgeous. I gotta say. You sure make it hard for a guy to leave with a body as nice as yours." Burst's memory flashed back to the previous night. Namely because the first time he'd shared the bed with Moon while she was naked and he was shirtless. "I gotta say. I kind of like the two of us getting more intimate. You're going at a good pace. But you might wanna slip something on before we head down."
Moon beamed. "I brought myself a change of clothes for this morning. When you spend a thousand years on the moon, you get pretty good at planning things." As Moon changed in the bathroom, a question popped into her head. "Hey Burst?"
"Yeah?"
"Have you and the guys ever hung out much? You know, besides school and facing whatever random villain you need to take down?"
"Well besides yesterday, not really. We've all been busy with our lovely girlfriends. Huh. Makes me wonder if you and the girls have had a lot of time together also."
"That settles it.", Moon said with a smile. "You and the guys are having a sleepover. Same deal for me and the girls. No exceptions. We've still got a few days left of break. Might as well have the best time possible!"
"You know? That's one awesome idea. I'll text the guys. We'll hold it at Gold's house." Burst grabbed his phone, turned it on, and texted his friends. Moon did the same as she text the other girls.
Ice's house...
Ice was eating breakfast with his brothers and his little sister Midnight when he and his brothers got a text from Burst. "Huh. Looks like Burst plans on us going all-out for this break. You in guys?"
"You know it!", Ace said with a smile!
Shadow nodded. "It'll be nice to have some more hang out time without a random villain showing up."
"EEEEEEEEE!", Midnight squealed as she clutched her phone! "I can't believe it! I got invited by Moon to sleep over!" Midnight then hopped onto Ice! "Can I go? Please please please?! I promise I won't use my magic unless I'm asked!"
Ice and his brothers chuckled. "You've got our approval Midnight. But you'd better ask Mom and Dad."
"Yes yes yes!" Midnight scooped her adopted brothers into a big hug! "Thank you!" Midnight flew off to ask her adoptive parents for permission to go to the sleep over.
"You know? Our little circle's grown pretty big.", Ace noted. "Not that that's a bad thing though."
"Something tells me this sleepover's going to be fun.", Ice said with a smile.
North had just come down and read the text. "Well. Sounds like a smashing good time!"
Thunder Force's house...
Abyss opened her phone and noticed the text Moon had sent. Thunder Force smiled down at her. "It'll be good for you to go. A chance to apologize and probably make some new friends."
Abyss gave him a small smile. "Yeah. That'd be nice."
Pinkie's house...
Pinkie gasped at the text she had gotten. "Hmm. Now the only problem is finding out where to hold it. Wait!" Pinkie began texting away. "Hi Principal Celestia! There's a small favor we need..." Pinkie beamed as she sent the text and stuffed a cannon into her pack. "This is gonna be fun!" Soon enough, the guys and girls had gathered at their respective locations that were holding each group's sleepover. Each group was pretty excited.
Burst took a deep breath. "Here's hoping that nothing messes this sleepover up...."
Chapter 3: Just Girls Talking
"I've gotta say. Having some time to ourselves is pretty nice.", Sunset said with a smile. "Especially considering all the crazy things that have gone on during this year. Crazy magic, villains that tried to conquer the world through a childrens card game, all of us getting boyfriends. And we haven't even been to prom yet!"
Moon chuckled. "Yes. A moment like this is a nice change of pace." Moon then turned her attention to Abyss. "So how are you liking your new life so far?"
"Oh! It's going good. I've already got a good friend. He was the one who disguised himself as Sunset's boyfriend and Burst!", Abyss said with a weak smile. "His name's Narico."
Rarity giggled. "Sounds like little Abyss is quite smitten!"
Abyss blushed furiously! "W-We're not a couple!"
"Keep tellin' yourself that sister.", Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. "I was exactly the same before I accepted I liked Steel."
"Fine.", Abyss said with a sigh. "We're not a couple YET."
"Abyss. You were formerly a villain and you've met a sweet guy who loves you despite your past AND who had a few secrets of his own. You're not going to be single for too much longer dear.", Adagio said with her trademark smirk.
Aria groaned. "Oh come on Adagio. It's not going to happen that instantaneously!"
"Oh really? I remember you and Fang getting pretty cozy after he convinced you to stay. That's probably the first time I've ever seen you smile.", Adagio said with a giggle.
"Ooh! Does he lick you when he kisses you?", Pinkie chirped.
"Only in puppy form.", Aria said with a shrug. "And returning to Adagio, I never thought I'd ever see YOU show genuine interest in a guy." Aria shot back with a smirk of her own. "AND you still keep up the flirt routine with him."
A sincere smile dawned on Adagio's face. "I have a good reason for that Aria. I enjoy making him feel wanted by me. After all, wouldn't you do the same for Fang?"
Aria's smirked dropped instantly as she scratched her head. "Well....yeah. Guess you've got a point there."
"Y'know...it's pretty entertaining watching them go back and forth.", Midnight noted as she munched away at a bowl of popcorn.
Sonata beamed. "I know, right? You could get a whole audience to watch them and even pay admission!"
"Anyway, those two bring up quite the point.", Rarity added. "Each of us are quite fortuante to have found that special someone." Rarity sighed fondly as she remembered her first encounter with Inferno. "That begs the question: How far along in our relationships are we? Inferno and I are quite affectionate. What about the rest of you?" The rest of the girls blinked.
"Actually Rarity, we're probably all on the same level as you. Other than not being afraid of our guys gettin' a bit handsy.", Applejack answered. "Besides, it's not like any of us have gotten really far except for dating. Well, Moon being the exception."
"True.", Moon said with a shrug. "Burst and I are living together and we share a bed. But also, we've been getting more intimate as of late. Our little trip to the beach being the biggest piece of evidence." Moon sighed happily. "He's really good at holding me close." Rarity fainted at that moment. "...Is she going to be alright?"
Rainbow Dash shrugged. "It's Rarity. She always faints at lovey-dovery romantic stuff like that."
"Really?", Midnight asked. "I thought she was just referencing Gravity Falls." The girls shared a laugh. Midnight giggled.
Sunset's smile soon faded. "You know, all of this has got me thinking. What's next after this last year?" The rest of the girls soon fell silent. "I mean, what do we all have planned after this?"
"Well, I plan on working full time at the farm.", Applejack said proudly.
"I plan on launching a new clothing line.", Rarity chimed in.
"The Cakes were planning on setting up a party service. So I jumped at the chance!", Pinkie beamed. "I start after this last year!"
"Um...I plan on working as a vet.", Fluttershy said with a timid smile. "Or at least working at the shelter full time."
Rainbow Dash smiled. "Me? I got an invite to be a teacher at Duel Academy! I guess they recognized that they needed to get a bit more awesome! Now I can give my little brother a hard time!"
"You all look like you're having quite the conversation.", Celestia said with a smile as she addressed the group. "Speaking of the future, did you want to disclose your plans Moon?"
"Oh right!", Moon said with a smile. "Celestia's going to be training me as a teacher next school year." The girls applauded Moon having a set path. "What can I say? I enjoy working with kids."
Sunset smiled. "Well, I guess I'd better spill my plans. I'll be counselor at CHS after this year. I've got plenty of experience in dealing with people with troubled and uncertain paths. Myself included."
"That's so sweet Sunset!", Twilight said with a smile. "I was planning on becoming a student at Everton. That way I can carry out my own research! Namely on the monster world since it's become such a well-known dimension now."
"Eh. I'm a magical being who defies existence.", Midnight said with a shrug. "So when Ace, Ice and Shadow leave I'm gonna be sticking with my adopted mom and dad. They're going to be pretty lonely once my brothers are gone. And I don't mind having a proper childhood."
"Moving on from Midnight's adorableness...", Adagio began. "Me, Sonata and Aria are going full-career. We've got our voices back, and now they're minus a horrible mind control magic."
"I need to graduate high school. Again.", Abyss added.
"Well wherever our roads lead us, let's promise to meet up together whenever we have the time!", Sunset said with a smile. "At the very least, let's all keep in touch. Pinkie Promise?" All the girls recited the promise by heart. "Now that we've taken care of our futures, let's enjoy the present."
Burst and the guys had just finished their second movie as part of their movie marathon, and an important question popped into Burst's head. "Hey guys? After this year, what've we got going for us? What're we going to do?"
Gold took a breath. "Well, I'm going to be taking over Industrial Illusions after my father retires."
"Well that's a given.", Steel said with a nod. "Me? I plan on becoming a pro duelist!"
Burst let out a chuckle. "Speaking of dueling, I almost forgot to mention that Inferno and I got invites to be teachers at Duel Academy. So I guess we'll be doing that once we're finished with high school. At least we don't have to wear the academy uniforms. That's a plus."
Inferno nodded. "Yeah. But Rarity insisted on making us something that'd help us stand out. And if she's the one making it, you know it's gonna be pretty awesome."
"Pinkie's going to be working at a party service, so I think I'll work with her on that.", Akage chimed in. "How about you Night?"
Night smiled. "I'll be helping out Twilight with her research on the monster world. Someone's gotta keep her company."
"Aria said she and her sisters are going full career. So I'll be going along as the group pet!", Fang beamed. "Narico's still in school for a couple years. But that means he's got more time with Abyss." Narico smiled at the comment.
"And I'll be helping with stage setup.", Veenus said with a smile. "With my abilities, I'll be able to make some beautiful stages for them. What about you Ace? What're you and your brothers doing after you finish this year?"
"I'll be joining you two. I know Sonata would miss me while she's out there, so why not keep her company? That'll also take a lot of the stress of performing with her knowing I'm right there with her.", Ace said with a small smile. "As for Shadow, he and Starlight have gotten an invite to be professional cosplayers."
Shadow smiled. "People really seem to like our couples cosplay. We're even opening up a professional cosplay supply shop."
Ace nodded. "Then there's Ice. He's pla-"
"Ace. Let me say what I plan on.", Ice said flatly. Ace nodded. "Thank you. I plan on becoming an actor. Specifically a voice actor. I hope to become the next Steve Blum!"
"Well, you do sound like him Ice.", Ace said with a chuckle. "So how about you North?"
North snapped out of his thoughts. "Oh. Nothing much. Guess I'll just go back home and try to visit Applejack when I can." North frowned a little. "It stinks that I've gotten quite close to her and I'll be leaving soon. But I have her number, so I can let her know when I'm visiting."
Tyrannus stroked his chin in thought. "I wonder if any of the girls are uncertain about their futures too? Me? I don't know what I've got planned. Maybe I'll get a full time job working at the animal shelter. I'm pretty good with animals like Fluttershy."
"Well whatever happens, I know this.", Burst said with a small smile. "We're all gonna do the best at what we choose! I never thought I'd have so many friends. So let's make a promise! No matter what, we'll meet back up to catch up! And we'll all keep in touch with our girlfriends." All the guys put their hands in.
"ROCK THE DRAGON!"
Midnight and Abyss were bonding. Needless to say, Abyss was pretty surprised at how far Midnight had come. "Wow. So now you've got a whole family even after the incident that created you?", Abyss asked.
Midnight nodded. "Uh-huh! Everyone makes mistakes, but that just means we learn from them. I'm literally just a few months old! It's no wonder that I caused so much trouble. Heck, most of the guys have girlfriends who've made pretty bad mistakes!" Midnight sighed happily."I love my family. Looking back, I'm happy I made my mistakes. It let me meet them."
Abyss managed a small smile and blushed. "Kind of like how I feel with Narico."
"See? Things are getting better for you!", Midnight said with a grin. "You've already got a prospective boyfriend!"
"Speaking of boyfriends...", Sunset said with a mischievous smile. "How about we list off some of the cutest and/or embarrassing moments our boyfriends have had?"
Sonata giggled. "Me first! It was after Paradox was defeated. Ace showed me a box he had kept hidden, and it was full of cutesy anime! He was blushing so hard when he admitted that he was into that stuff! And then he turned on the sweetness by saying I was every girl in those animes rolled into one!"
"My turn then.", Rarity said with a smile. "In Inferno's case...I'd say his moment was when he was singing with my little sister Sweetie Belle. It was so adorable! The two were singing their hearts out. It was such a lovely moment."
"Me next!", Rainbow Dash said with a grin! "Steel's moment was when I caught him doing Power Rangers poses while he was watching a trailer for that new Power Rangers movie! I even caught him saying 'It's morphin time!" He begged me to delete the video I took of him! Somedays I wish I hadn't. It still cracks me up!"
Aria grinned. "Fang's cutest moment was when he turned into a wolf pup and slept on my lap. I swear I almost fainted from how cute he was!"
"I guess I'm up.", Sunset said with a smile. "Gold's moment was when he spread out his arms to represent a phoenix. I laughed so hard because he was taking his catchphrase so seriously!"
"In Veenus's case, his moment was when he gave me my pet name.", Adagio said with a fond smile. "He called me his rose. His eyes twinkled so cutely. Almost like one of those animes Sonata watches."
"Um, Tyrannus's moment was when he first came to help out at the animal shelter.", Fluttershy said with a small smile. "All the animals gathered around him. The smile he had on his face was so cute!"
"Oh! Akage's moment was when I caught him trying to do a move out of Naruto! I snuck up on him and surprised him! He jumped about ten feet in the air!", Pinkie said with a grin!
"Shadow's moment was when I first met him.", Starlight said with a giggle. "He was so eager to spend time with me. Then again, he was the last of the guys to get a girlfriend."
"Night's moment was when I caught him cradling a Mechagodzilla plushie as he took a nap at the beach.", Twilight chimed in. "It was pretty cute."
"In North's case, his moment was when Ah caught him mimicking a pose out of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Ah swear his face was redder than an apple! AH nearly busted a gut laughin'! He smiled and asked if I enjoyed him makin' a fool of himself. Ah told him Ah had no idea royals had a sense of humor."
"I guess it's my turn.", Moon said with a smile. "Burst's moment was during one of his dreams. He was a little kid in the dream, and he was playing around in his room. He noticed me, and showed off his room. He had the place decked out with posters of Optimus Prime, Goku, Power Rangers, you name it. He told me that one day he was going to be a superhero and struck a pose! I even played with him. We had a lightsaber duel and even fooled around with some of his transformer toys. Before I left, he gave me his little Optimus. He was so cute when he handed it to me. He said: 'Hope he keeps you safe!' It was probably the most adorable thing I've ever seen." The other girls collectively awed.
"...That's it. Moon wins.", Sunset said with a smile as the girls shared a laugh.
Burst and the guys were carrying on with their movie marathon when a portal opened up. Red-Eyes and Dark Magician Girl stepped through. "Hi Inferno!", Red-Eyes greeted! "Hey, you don't mind babysitting Chick do you?" Red-Eyes then handed Black Dragon's Chick over to Inferno.
Inferno blinked at the baby dragon in his arms. "Um, no?"
" 'Kay thanks! Bye!" Red-Eyes went back through the portal while Dark Magician Girl handed Berry Magician Girl over to Ace.
"Keep an eye on her!", she cautioned. "Berry's known to go crazy with her magic."
Ace sighed. "Can't be any worse than when Midnight tried to multitaks using her magic. I'll be careful." Dark Magician Girl went back through the portal, and the guys popped in the next movie. It was then that Chick and Berry's stomacsh growled and they flew over to the kitchen, Inferno took notice of her absence and heard loud noises coming from the kitchen. Ace noticed Berry's absence and followed. The two found the little monsters raiding the fridge. Ace tried to pry Black Dragon's Chick from the fridge, but she latched onto his face instead! "Ah! Can't see! Get her off! Get her off!" Inferno rushed to Ace and managed to pry Chick off of his head! Black Dragon's Chick then nestled on Inferno's head.
"Well, at least one can't say this has been a dull night.", Inferno said with a chuckle. As if on cue, Berry Magician Girl used her magic to unleash a storm of fireworks!
"Hit the deck!", Ace screamed as he and Inferno fell to the floor as quick as they could! "Okay, I take back my previous statement. This is WAY worse than Midnight's multitasking incident!" Burst and the others heard the commotion, and went to investigate. Fortunately, Berry Magician Girl ceased her spectacle of adorable yet devastating power.
"Well...that was out of nowhere...", Burst said as he scratched his head. "So how long do you two have to watch them?"
"About another hour or two.", Ace said with a tired groan. "Something tells me it's gonna be a LONG couple of hours."
"Huh. I don't think any of us saw this turn in out evening.", Steel said with a nod. "I think it'll take all of us to keep a close eye on them." And so, the group set to work taking turns watch Black Dragon's Chick and Berry Magician Girl. Needless to say, it was not the most thrilling of tasks. Steel nodded off as he and Akage began their shift. That is, until Berry Magician Girl conjured up a mini explosion jolting the two awake! Berry Magician Girl giggled in amusement while Steel frowned at her. "I'd say if the boredom doesn't kill us, these two letting loose will!"
Akage chuckled. "Try to find something you can laugh about! They give a new meaning to the term little monsters!"
Steel blinked and chuckled. "Yeah. Considering they literally ARE little monsters."
Ace and Inferno showed up to relieve the two. "Okay. DMG told me someone will be coming with Red-Eyes to pick up these two. Right about...now." A new portal opened up, and Red-Eyes and Gagaga Girl stepped through. "Oh. Hey Gagaga Girl! You here for Berry?"
Gagaga Girl nodded. "Yup. My big sis DMG called me in to pick her up." She scooped up Berry Magician Girl while Red-Eyes picked up Black Dragon's Chick. "Hope she didn't cause too much trouble for you guys."
Ace chuckled. "Trust me. It could have been a LOT worse." As soon as their monster friends returned to their world, Ace breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I think now's a good time to turn in for the night." The other guys nodded, and soon they were all asleep.
Sunset let out a yawn. "I don't know about you girls, but I think now's a good point to turn in for the night.."
"You crazy?!", Rainbow Dash protested! "We're not turning in until we get in a good pillow war! Every girl for herself!" Rainbow Dash then readied her pillow. "No one is safe!" Rainbow then swung away with her pillow as the other girls readied their own pillows. "WHO ELSE WANTS SOME?!" Rainbow was downed with a quick hit by Midnight! Rainbow charged with her pillow but hit Rarity instead!
"Oh...It. Is. ON!" Rarity hit Rainbow Dash full force with her pillow! The other girls then had at it with each other until all of them wound up fairly tired. As they began to fall asleep, Moon had a question.
"Hey girls? Do you mind if I link our dreams to the boys'?", she asked. The girls smiled and nodded as they drifted away to their dreams.
Moon linked the dreams of the girls and the boys before falling asleep. As her friends dreamed, she observed their dreams with a smile as they met their respective boyfriend or girlfriend.
Inferno and Rarity's Dream
Rarity glared at the figure who had her trapped in a gem prison. Lance sneered at her. "Now don't be like that dear. Don't you want people to see you for the gem that you are? This lovely display shows off my prize that I wrested from that dragon."
"I am not yours, and I never will be! That dragon was more of a prince than you could ever be, and he's far more noble than you could hope to be!", Rarity spat! "You have no idea the storm you've unleashed. He'll come for me. And since he knows that you've taken me, nothing will keep him from finding me."
Lance frowned. "Maybe you don't know just how this story is supposed to go."
"Maybe this story has a twist to it.", Rarity said with a smirk. As Lance was about to retort, a huge explosion was heard at the front of the castle! Lance rushed to the window, and saw a fire blazing at what was left of his castle's drawbridge! As he surveyed the wreckage, Lance then noticed his soldiers being attacked by a lone figure with a sword modeled after a black dragon! No matter how many swarmed the lone warrior, they stood no chance! The lone figure defeated them with ease as he blazed his way towards Lance's throneroom! Lance's eyes widened as the figure seemed to spot him from all the way down there.
"Looks like I forgot one item for this story.", Lance said with a frown as he drew his sword. "I have a dragon to slay." Lance sat on his throne with his sword ready. All the while he heard the groans of his soldiers being defeated and the clashing of swords. Soon, the sounds of combat all but fell silent. Then, there was a sound of footsteps. Each one sounded closer than the last before stopping at the throne room door. There was silence for a full moment. Then, a sudden gust of wind knocked down the doors! Lance shielded his eyes before he caught sight of two black dragon wings, and a lone figure standing before him with a drawn sword. Inferno glared at Lance as he raised his sword and flared his wings!
"I've come to reclaim my love.", Inferno said sternly. "I'll only ask nicely once. Return her to me, and I'll be on my way."
Lance scoffed. "Please. A beauty such as this maiden is too good for you!"
Inferno frowned. "Is that all you see in her? How disgusting." Inferno got into a battle stance! "You should know. When you take something precious from a dragon, you face their fury!"
Lance sneered. "Then come! Cross blades with-!" Lance was cut off as Inferno took to the air and swooped down at him with a slice that landed less than an inch from his neck! Lance rolled out of the way and kicked Inferno in the stomach! Inferno stumbled back a little before regaining his footing and the two renewed their clash! Each clang of their swords was like thunder crashing against the sky! "I never expected a dragon to learn the way of the sword! Where's the flames you're known for?", Lance taunted.
Inferno smirked. "You want fire, do you?" Inferno focused and lit the blade of his sword ablaze! Flames spiraled around the blade and heated Lance's blade! Shocking the fiend to no end! Inferno then took to the air, and brought his blade down full force! "METEOR DRAGON STRIKE!" Inferno brought his blade down with the force of a meteor! Lance raised his sword to block it, but it broke from the force of the attack! The shockwave sent Lance flying into a wall! Leaving a crater in the process! Lance scowled as he freed himself from the crater! He was almost snarling at Inferno. "Well, well. Look who's really the beastly one?" Lance roared in fury as he charged at Inferno! Aiming the broken blade at his heart! Inferno jumped into the air and brought his flaming blade down on Lance in a finishing blow! "Claw of the Black Dragon!" An energy projection of Red-Eyes brought its claws down on Lance! Inferno landed, and then snapped his fingers. "Ignite." Lance was Incinerated in a fiery column! Leaving only his armor when the flames died down. Inferno then made his way over to Rarity and carefully picked a point to shatter her crystal prison. "Hope I didn't keep you waiting.", Inferno said with a smile.
Rarity smiled as Inferno carried her bridal style. "Oh, darling. You're more than worth the wait." The two shared a kiss as they returned to their home.
Ace and Sonata's dream...
Ace was out at the beach just staring at the clouds. Then he heard it. It sounded like someone was singing, but there wasn't anyone else on the beach with him. Ace decided to follow the voice and found himself walking to a secluded part of the beach. From the sound of things, he was getting closer to the source of the singing. He then found himself at the mouth of a cave with the singing getting louder as Ace made his way through the cave. Ace shielded his eyes as he saw light at the end of the tunnel. Once his eyes adjusted, Ace found himself in a lagoon. He then saw the source of the lovely voice. It was Sonata. From the looks of things, she had made herself a mermaid. Sonata noticed Ace and giggled. "So did you like my song?", she asked with a smile.
Ace nodded. "It's so beautiful. I don't think I've heard anything more lovely."
Sonata beamed. "How about I give you a private concert? Come on! I promise not to splash you." Ace made his way over to the water and sat beside Sonata as she sung to him. At the same time, Sonata swam closer to him. "To be honest, I was singing for you. My song's only for the one who I want to give my heart to."
Ace smiled. "Then let me give my heart to you in exchange." The two kissed as the sun set across the sky.
Rainbow Dash and Steel's dream...
Rainbow Dash was squaring off against a figure clad in armor modeled after Black Luster Soldier! And from the ways things looked, Rainbow was the one who was winning! She had the armored figure pressed against a wall and she had a triumphant smirk on her face. "You give up yet? No shame in losing to someone as awesome as me!" The figure pulled up the visor of his helmet, and kissed Rainbow on the cheek while she was gloating!
"Looks like I win.", Steel said with a smirk of his own while Rainbow blushed furiously. Steel removed his helmet. "Be careful not to get blinded by your awesomeness." Rainbow Dash pouted before responding.
"Yeah? Well, you be sure not to become a cold person!" Rainbow Dash crossed her arms and pouted with her eyes closed. Then she felt arms wrapping around her. She opened her eyes to find Steel hugging her and trailing kisses along her neck. "...You really know how my weak points don't you?" Rainbow then pinned Steel to the ground with a grin.
Steel shot her a cocky smile. "Looks like you know mine too. Well? You gonna exploit it?" Rainbow Dash answered his remark by engaing a make-out session.
Rainbow smiled as she cut-off their session. "I won't lie. You're an awesome kisser."
"And you're adorable when you're angry.", Steel said with a grin.
Rainbow Dash playfully punched Steel's armor. "Shut up and continue our make-out session."
Fang and Aria's dream...
Fang was resting until he felt someone rubbing on his belly. Fang began to laugh uncontrollably! He opened his eyes and found Aria smiling down at him. "What do you know? Looks like I can make you smile too." Aria sat down while Fang propped himself up and kissed her on the cheek.
"And I'll always be here to cheer you up.", Fang said as he nuzzled Aria.
Aria smiled as she scratched Fang behind his ears. "You're loyal as a puppy. Most girls would kill to get a guy who gives cuddles like you. Speaking of which, I could use some right now." Fang wagged his tail as he curled up with Aria and napped with her. Aria had a blissful smile as she held Fang close. "Good boy."
Pinkie and Akage's dream...
Akage was meditating under a water fall. The sound of the water flowing soothed his mind and he let out a peaceful sigh. It was then that he felt a presence. Akage furrowed his brow in concentration. Then he heard an object whistling through the air! Akage raised his hand, and caught a...balloon? AKage was puzzled. Who on earth would toss a balloon at him? He soon got an answer when another balloon hit his face! Splashing its contents all over him! Akage found his face soaked!
"YES! Score one for me!", Pinkie chirped as she celebrated getting a hit on Akage! "C'mon Akage! It's not much fun if you don't try to get me back!" Pinkie giggled as Akage got his own set of water balloons and started chucking them at her! "You're gonna have to try harder if you wanna hit me!"
Akage smiled as he grabbed two water balloons, and ran along the wall of the waterfall! Once he was close to the top, he executed a forward spinning job before tossing his water balloons right at Pinkie! However, she just bounced out of the way giggling! Akage let out a chuckle as Pinkie prepared to unleash a series of water balloons. "Well, at least I won't have to worry about a shower tonight. Have at it." And thus, Akage was pelted with a barrage of water balloons. Soaking him to his skin. Pinkie giggled at the sight of him.
"Why didn't you use a move out of Naruto?", Pinkie asked.
Akage sighed. "Pinkie. Real ninjas can't shot gigantic balls of energy from their hands like a kamehameha. Although we can do magic with the elements."
Pinkie blinked. "Sooooo, no shadow-clone jistsu?"
Akage shook his head. "No. The closest I've got to that is an after-image technique." Akage made a duplicate image of himself. "See?"
Pinkie inspected the duplicate before turning to Akage. "Cool!" She then tackled him to the ground as she hugged him. "But I bet he can't snuggle like you can!"
Akage smiled as he dismissed the clone. "Heh. I guess not."
Adagio and Veenus's dream...
Adagio found herself wandering in a forest full of flowers. She had to admit. This was certainly a lovely place to dream about. "Well, well. It seems that I have a visitor in my garden." Adagio looked up to see Veenus smiling down at her. On his back were wings like that of Black Rose Dragon.
Adagio smiled. "I must say. Your work is quite beutiful. One could even confuse you as part of it with those wings of yours."
"Funny." Veenus glided down gracefully with his wings before approaching Adagio. "I could say the same for you. They say speaking to plants helps them grow quicker."
Adagio giggled. "Then maybe me singing will make this place bloom." Adagio began to sing. And in response, almost every flower in the forest began to bloom. Veenus smiled as he picked a flower for Adagio. Adagio smiled as she finished her song and accepted Veenus's gift. "I love you. Thorns and all." Veenus smiled as he wrapped his arms and wings around Adagio.
"What can I say? Your melody makes my love bloom for only you.", Veenus whispered in her ear. Adagio gave him a sultry smile as they shared a kiss. "I've fallen for your siren song."
Tyrannus and Fluttershy's dream...
Fluttershy was humming to herself in the forest. Everything was peaceful, and all the animals had come out to see her. Fluttershy smiled as some birds landed on her. Then she heard someone coming, and hid in the bushes. As she looked from her hiding place, she saw Tyrannus coming towards the animals, and sitting down. The animals all seemed nervous around him at first, but approached him gradually. A bird landed on his finger, and he smiled as he lightly pet it with his other hand. He then turned his head in Fluttershy's direction. "Well? They're waiting for you too. Wouldn't want to make them unhappy would we?", Tyrannus said with a smile. Fluttershy walked slowly towards them, and managed a small smile as she and Tyrannus played with the animals. Needless to say, both of them got tired fairly soon and rested against a tree. Tyrannus slept soundly while Fluttershy crawled up to him. She smiled as she took in how peaceful Tyrannus looked while sleeping. Fluttershy leaned in, and kissed Tyrannus on the cheek. Blushing lightly after doing so.
"Sleep well Ty.", she said lovingly before nuzzling against Tyrannus's chest and falling asleep. Tyrannus smiled as he put his arms around her and rested his chin upon her head.
"You too Shy."
Gold and Sunset's dream...
Sunset was looking in a mirror. In it, she saw the reflection of her pony form. "Hard to believe I've come so far since leaving my old home." Sunset sighed happily. "I've got good friends, and a loving boyfriend to boot."
"And to think we used to feel so alone.", Gold said with a smile as he walked up to the mirror and saw a reflection of his pony form. Phoenix wings and all. Gold's face saddened. "And it ate me up inside for so long because I thought I'd hold everyone down. I thought if I tried solving my own problems, I'd come out stronger. But it only made it hurt more. Heh. It literally took you slapping some sense into me."
Sunset giggled. "I guess I owed you for staying by me during my own dark times. You're here for me, and I'm here for you."
"And I'd be an idiot to forget that.", Gold said with a loving smile as he and Sunset shared a kiss and a tight hug.
Nightfall and Twilight's dream...
Twilight was staring in awe at the massive library she was in! There were books everywhere! "This is incredible!" Twilight was grinning ear-to-ear! "So much to read, so little time!" Twilight strolled through the library looking over the huge collection of books. "I could spend hours here." Twilight then noticed something out of place. She had spotted something that looked like..."Circuitry?" As Twilight got a closer look at the circuitry, it seemd to glow and trace a path! "Interesting..." Twilight followed the path and stared with wide eyes at the sight before her! Before her was Nightfall in what looked to be a workshop. She then saw a bunch of cyber monsters hanging around him. Night seemed to be playing with them. "You certainly have a way with technology." Night blushed when he saw Twilight.
"Yeah. It's been this way ever since I was a little kid. My dad was working on something on the cutting edge before he died." Nightfall frowned. "In fact, he's the reason I made my Cyber Dragon deck. He always told me that machines had a soul. And that I just had to find the one that spoke to me." Twilight walked up to Night and hugged him tightly.
"I guess taht goes the same for you and me, Night.", Twilight said with a kind smile. Night gave her a tearful smile as he hugged her tightly in return and shared a kiss with her. All the cyber monsters used their optic cameras to snap a picture of the moment! Causing the two to blush!
Night let out a nervous chuckle. "I guess that's one memory they won't delete any time soon. Then again, I don't think I'd ever want to."
Twilight smiled as she put her head to Nightfall's chest. "Same here."
Applejack and North's dream...
North found himself as Sweet Apple Acres sitting under one of the trees there. As he sat, North reached up into the tree and grabbed an apple. He took a moment to take in how peaceful things were, and let out a fond sigh. "Ah didn't expect ya to be dreamin' of this place.", Applejack said with a good-natured smile.
North chuckled. "Really now? And just where did you think I'd be dreaming of lass?"
"Buckingham Palace.", Applejack said with a chuckle. "If you don't mind me askin', why dream of here of all places?"
North smiled sadly. "I guess you could say...this place feels like home. Plus, a lass like you is quite rare. I've not seen most girls as genuine as you are. It's quite attractive if I may be honest."
Applejack blushed and smiled sheepishly. "Shoot, sugar cube! Honesty's a big part of who I am." Applejack sat down next to North. "You're pretty genuine too despite that lil' secret you've got." North froze, but Applejack comfortd him. "Don't you worry none. You don't have to tell me anything right now. Just when you feel like it."
North breathed a sigh of relief. "Gee. Nothing gets by you now does it? And...thanks for letting me tell you when I'm ready."
Applejack smiled warmly as she kissed North on the forehead. "No problem sugar cube." The two sat under the tree and decided to just enjoy the simple charm of their surroundings.
Back in the dreamscape, Moon smiled at her handiwork. Now, it was time for her own dreams. And she had something special planned for Burst. Moon floated over to Burst's dreams, and entered.
Burst and Moon's dream...
Burst found himself at the entrance of an old ruined castle. His outfit consisted of a long white jacket that fell to his calves, blue jeans, black sneakers, black kneepads, black fingerless gloves, and a shirt that had a symbol similar to Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the front. Burst was equipped with twin blasters and a sword modelled after Blue-Eyes as well. Here I go. , Burst thought as he took a deep breath and entered the castle. As he walked through the halls of the castle, Burst felt another presence in the seemingly deserted castle ruins. A flash of teal made Burst reach for the handle of his sword! However, there was nothing in the direction of the flash Burst had seen. "Man. Just this place alone has me on edge." Burst let his hand fall back to his side and continued walking. He soon found himself in the throne room.
"Well, well. It appears I have a visitor.", a voice said in a low and silky tone. Burst then heard a dark giggle surround the air. "And quite a handsome one too..." Burst spun around and found himself face-to-face with Moon! She was clad in azure armor that showed off a good portion of her body. Her wings and horn were on display and her hair had an ethereal look to it. She wore a seductive smile on her face.
Burst smirked. "Heard there was aparty going on here. But no food, no rockin' music. However, there's one heck of a babe present. How about we get this thing started?" Burst kept a hand close to one of his sword. Moon giggled as she advanced on Burst.
"Then let's dance." Moon summoned her sword and cut down a monster that had been hiding within the shadows! "Looks like this party's going to be quite lively after all!" Burst chuckled as he drew his sword and unholstered one of his blasters.
"LET'S ROCK BABY!" Burst and Moon charged at the nightmare creatures! Easily tearing through them with grace and powerful attacks! In a matter of minutes, the two were standing triumphant as the remnants of the nightmare forces faded into nothingness. Burst and Moon looked to each other and smiled. "So? Still have time for another dance?"
Moon smiled as she and Burst held hands. "I have all night long beloved." The two danced, and ended their night with a kiss. "I'll be waiting for you when I wake up."
Burst smiled lovingly at Moon. "And I'll always find my way to you."
"Dang.", Burst said in awe as he and the other guys headed inside the mansion that was Gold's house. "Your dad really spared no expense with this place Gold."
Gold nodded. "Uh-huh. Pretty nice, right? Just wait until you see the gaming center." Gold opened a large door. "Ah! Here we are!" The rest of the guys' eyes went wide! Almost every console needed and a flat screen TV almost the size of a wall were on display! "I take it this setup is more than adequate?" The other guys nodded in response. "Great! So what game should we pop in first? Smash Bros.?"
"I got it!", Inferno called out as he dug the game out of his bag. "Maybe we should try that eight-player smash mode! It's pretty intense from what I've heard."
"Eight players button mashing furiously while eight characters swarm the screen. Eh. Why not?", Steel said with a shrug. "Good thing I brought my DS for this." The guys each got their controllers ready, and the eight-player smash was underway! However, it didn't go quite as any of them expected.
"Who picked Meta Knight?", Gold called out! "He's OP!"
"My bad!", Shadow called out!
"Who got the pokeball?!", Akage cried out!
"This is madness!", Night yelled as he tried to pick out his character on the screen.
"Did any of you REALLY think that this would be orderly?", Burst asked. "Eight player smash is known for chaos!"
"Why did I even suggest this?!", Inferno groaned!
"It could be worse.", Ace noted. "We could be playing Mario Party." The group collectively shivered.
"That game is notorious for ruining friendships.", Ice stated grimly. "Ooh! Smash Ball! Every man for himself!" Each of the guys began a desparate rally to get the smash ball! Ultimately, only one player wound up unleashing the final smash!
"Uh...whoever was playing as Ike? You won.", Steel called out.
Burst laid down his controller. "Guys? Let's never do eight-player again. EVER."
The others nodded. "Agreed."
Veenus scratched his head. "Soooo, what now?"
Fang dug a game out of his bag. "How about Street Fighter? Two of us can play at a time."
"I call Ryu!", Burst called out!
"Dibs on Ken!", Inferno shouted! And from then, the guys engaged in a series of one-on-one matches of Street Fighter.
Narico tugged on Gold's shirt. "Hey Gold?"
"Yeah?"
"You got a DVD player? Everyone brought over movies to watch."
Gold smiled. "Narico. I've got an entire theater. And now I've got a good idea of what we're gonna do next!"
"Hope you got enough popcorn!", Narico said with a smile. "Fang's got a serious appetite."
