Chapter 1 - Settling Inn
Load Full StoryNext Chapter“Twilight, do You really insist that me and Pinkie share a room?” Rarity questioned her alicorn friend. She and her dearest friends had booked hotel rooms at their trip over at Manehatten. Everypony within the group had been paired up with a bunk buddy. Unfortunately, Rarity wasn’t pleased with the pony she was paired with….
“Why do you worry so much, Rarity? I mean, it’s just Pinkie Pie!” She shrugged and gave a smile. The ponies were already at the lobby of the hotel. Everypony else had been occupied with the scenery of the city while Rarity and Twilight were at the front desk, obtaining the keycards to their rooms.
“Darling, you don’t understand! I-I’ve never…” She bit her lip and looked back at her friend, Pinkie Pie. The pink mare simply stared in awe, looking at the skyscrapers through the large windows... Rarity looked back to Twilight with fear in her eyes. “... We have never slept in the same room. I mean, I’m not saying she’s a bad pony to be around, but I just don’t think she’s… The quiet kind of pony.”
Twilight chuckled and levitated the three keycards, lending one of them to her friend. “Well you should give it a shot, Rarity. This will give you the chance to experience of sharing a room with Pinkie Pie. I mean, you shouldn’t fear your friends in the first place. Who knows, maybe she could be a quiet pony.” Twilight trotted off to give the remaining keycard to her other friends.
The white mare was left with her thoughts… She stared at the keycard with a worried look and darted her eyes back to Pinkie Pie, the pony who she would have to share a room with. “I really doubt it, dear…” She whispered.
A couple minutes fly by… Pinkie Pie and Rarity stood in the elevator, waiting for their stop. Rarity stood in a posh stance, staying quiet. She looked over to her friend, who was occupied bouncing in place with her saddle bag on her back.
“Ooooooh! I’m so happy we’re room buddies! I get to hang out more with my bestest friend in the whole wide world!” Pinkie hugged her friend and rubbed her cheek happily against her friend’s.
Rarity shot up a nervous smile and chuckled. “Haha, Indeed. I am, very delighted to share a room with you…” The tone to her voice sounded dishonest. The Pink mare wasn’t fooled by her response and pretended she didn’t notice...
The elevator had made it to their floor and the doors opened up. The mares stepped out and eyed the corridors. Pinkie and looked around curiously and searched for their room number. She trotted down the hallway, reading out the numbers…” 214, 215… 216!” She pointed at the door as if she found something exicting. Rarity pulled out her keycard and opened up the room. Just as she opened the door, Pinkie’s first instinct was find the bed. She bursts through the doorway and dove onto the only bed in the room…
“Wheeeee!” She bounced on top of the sheets and giggled happily. Rarity closed the door behind her and watched her friend enjoy the bed. She levitated her bag and tossed it aside. Pinkie took notice and tossed her bag aside as well. “We’re gonna have so much fun! Wait, are we allowed to call room service?! Can we order chocolate smoothies? Maybe even cheesecake! Or apple pie! I can go for something sweet right now! What about you, Rares~?” She laid on her belly and flailed her hind hooves around.
“Slow down, dear. They most certainly do have room service.” She sat on the edge of the bed and levitated the flyer left by the side table. The expression on her face showed that she was unsettled.
Pinkie sighed and her ears pointed down… “You don’t want to be my room buddy, do you…” She looked away from her and felt hurt from her friend’s behaviour… Rarity’s eyes widen and realized what’s she had been doing the whole time.
She sighed and leaned over to comfort her friend, gently wrapping her forehooves around her. “Darling, I’m sorry. It’s rude of me to be like this around you… I shouldn’t be the one to judge you for who you are.” The mare stroked her friend’s fluffy sweet scented mane… “I’m just a little nervous about… sharing a bed together. I mean, I’ve shared a bed with Applejack once, but to be honest, I’ve never expect that we would end up sharing one…”
The pink mare appreciated her friend’s comfort. She scooted closer to her and chuckled. “ I know I’m a party animal, Rares. I promise you, I’m a super good bed buddy!” Pinkie smirked up at Rarity . “Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!”
Rarity giggled and nuzzled Pinkie’s forehead. “Well I appreciate your promise, darling. Apologies for being such a ‘Debby Downer’ so quickly. I know what would make this evening better for us!” The unicorn smiled, levitating the phone to dial up room service.
And hour passes, Pinkie Pie had gone through about 5 milkshakes and two whole apple pies. As for Rarity, she had drank 2 milkshakes and ate an entire cheesecake… Both of the mares laid lazily on the bed, gossiping and giggling happily. The unicorn leaned against her friend, listening to what she had to say.
“…And that is how I found my rubber chicken, Sir George the II!” Pinkie Pie smiled as her friend laughed out loud to the story she just told.
“Sweet Celestia, that is a hilarious story, Pinkie!” Rarity leaned against her and wrapped her arms, continuing to giggle. “You know, maybe having you as a bed buddy isn’t so bad.” She smiled and sighed, relieved from her worries. “Darling, what time is it?”
Pinkie looked over at the clock. “11:35.” She grinned back at her friend for a moment until she realized how late the stayed. Both mares looked at each other in surprise. “Maybe we should hit the hay, huh?” She giggled.
“I-I agree!” The two of them adjusted themselves in the bed so they lay their faces away from each other. Rarity turned off the desk lamp beside her and snuggled once more into the sheets. “Good night, Pinkie.”
“Nighty night, Rares!” She turned off the desk lamp on her side as well before shutting her eyes.
Silence; something Rarity would’ve never expected coming from Pinkie. Not even an obnoxious snore to begin with. She smiled then silently sighed, hoping to have a nice night’s rest. The mare was only left to her thoughts. What was I thinking? This is completely fine! Pinkie actually sleeps quietly! Soon enough, Rarity begins to slowly fall asleep...
