Chapter 2 - Morning Interruptions
Previous ChapterRarity woke up to the tossing and turning from Pinkie’s side of the bed. It had only been about two hours since she was sound asleep. It's 2 in the morning. Me and my loud thoughts... What is that pony doing …the mare's eyes shot open and she let out a silent sigh…
“Pinkie, please tell me you’re not ordering room serv-" Just as she turned her head, she realized how close Pinkie was to her; she could feel her friend's breathing and her body brushed up against Rarity’s side. Pinkie’s forehooves hugged around her friend’s curved body and she laid her hind legs around Rarity’s waist...
The unicorn has no words about the situation; her best friend was spooning her… Her cheeks grew red as she never felt Pinkie in such a way. Part of her wanted to gently push Pinkie aside or maybe even wake her up, however Rarity felt strangely comfortable in her friend’s embrace.
Pinkie’s soft body rubbed calmly against Rarity back, her hooves wrapped around her tighter. Her muzzle gently brushed into Rarity’s cheek... The feeling of her warm, sweet breathe causes the unicorn's face to grow red than before.
“P...Pinkie?” Rarity whimpered out. Her friend was in a deep sleep. She adjusted her body to face Pinkie…Her eyes stared at the pink horse. Even before, Rarity envied her friend’s natural beauty. Thinking about it causes her stomach to emit a butterfly-like feeling and she silently whines...
The pink pony’s breath smelt so sweet. Her head leaned forward to the point that Rarity began exchanging breaths. Rarity’s body grew warm from this moment. A name escaped from under Pinkie's lips. “…Rar…ity…” The sound of her friend’s sleep talk sends chills through Rarity’s body... Rarity bit her own lip and within an instinct, she carefully wrapped her forehooves around Pinkie and eased into her comfort… Her hooves slowly ran down Pinkie’s back and up to her mane.
Her actions cause Pinkie's hind legs to twitch a little and let out a small squeak. Rarity froze and from her friend's movements, not wanting to wake her up oddly. It was already odd enough to Rarity to see her friend Pinkie, known for being the loud kind of pony, be so quiet.
She thought to herself. Why... Why am I feeling like this over somepony who's just so... Different from me... She had been so deep in her mind that she didn't realize Pinkie was awake. She was greeted by her sky blue eyes. The room may have been dimly lighted; but Rarity could tell that her friend had a shocked expression painted on her face.
Both mares stared at each other; their expressions show as if they were both caught doing something guilty. The silence broke as both mares stumble back to their ends of the bed. They had the same color to their cheeks; red.
"U-Uh... Sorry! I had a dream about... Marshmallows! Big ones!" The pink pony let out a small nervous giggle and turned away from Rarity.
"That's fine! I was dreaming about, er... Dresses!" Rarity's excuse was extreme lame and she immediately regretted. "Yes. Dresses." Her muzzle scrunched up from such a bad lie.
More silence. Both ponies were still awake, unable to shake this awkward moment...
"Well, good night again!" Pinkie closed her eyes, trying to fall back asleep. The mare snuggled into the sheets, trying to get comfortable in this situation.
Rarity stayed silent, nervous she'd embarrass herself even more.
Hours later, Rarity was the first to wake up out of the two. As she sat up, so did parts of her hair. Her cow licked mane stood up and pointed in different directions. The unicorn was still dazed, not caring about her appearance. She turned aside, noticing that Pinkie was still asleep. Rarity was well rested even despite the interruption from last night. She hopped out of bed and stretched her limbs and body. The mare made it to the bathroom and went on to clean herself up.
After brushing her teeth, taking a shower and drying herself off. It felt like a brand new day to Rarity. With a bright smile on her face, she open the door and exit the bathroom-
"OH MY SWEET CELESTIA!" She jumped back, nearly slipping on the bathroom tiles. The mare was terrified from the sight she was greeted with. Her friend Pinkie had been standing silently in front of the door. What threw her off was the grumpy expression on her face and the flat mane. It was as if she was a different pony. In fact, it was like she was from some kind of horror story.
"Mind if I borrow the bathroom, Rares?" The grump pony asked. The tone to her voice sounded so neutral, that is was hard to make out her actual mood.
Rarity's shocked expression stuck until she had realized it was Pinkie Pie. "Of course, dear. Go right ahead." She stepped back, offering her to come into the bathroom.
"Thanks..." Pinkie slowly walked into the bathroom while Rarity exited the room. The door shut behind her and Rarity glared at it, wondering if last night had caused her to have bad sleep.
It was until her thoughts shifted as she began hearing odd sounds in the bathroom. Now she was just puzzled. She muttered to herself. "What on earth is she doing in there...?"
Her first instinct was to place her ear on the bathroom door. She heard what sounded like a drill bit, to a rubber ducky, to even an elephant in the room. And after a minute of unusual, the door opens.
Pinkie was revealed looking good as new! Her mane was inflated and she looked happy as usual.
Rarity squinted at her. "Are you... alright?" She raised her eyebrows curiously.
"Yepper deppers, Rare-a-rino~!" She greeted in a happy bubbly tone. She stuck her tongue out. It was as if nothing had happen.
"But you were just- You seemed so Grumpy just a moment ago! Are you sure?" The unicorn couldn't help but just question how her friend functions.
Pinkie rolled her eyes and flicked her forehoof out. "Oh! I'm usually like that in the mornings! I remember when I first lived with the Cakes, they would ask me that all the time." She giggles thinking back at her fillyhood...
"So... Nothing is bothering you?" Rarity questioned once more.
"Yep!" Pinkie shook her head.
"Are you sure, dear?"
"Mhm!" Shaking her head even more.
Rarity took a moment to stare down her friend; making sure she isn't lying... The pink horse just stuck her tongue out and stared back at her. "Alright then..." Convinced Pinkie was fine, she shrugged off her thoughts and trotted over to the mirror by their hotel bed.
"You excited to take a Ferry boat around Manehatten?! Because I aaaaaaam~!!" Pinkie sang out loud. Her excitement made Rarity grin due to the happiness she was emitting. The unicorn went on to to apply makeup on her face.
"Why of course! It's gonna be even better since all six of us are gonna be there!"
