Chapter 2: Super Duper Sleep Over Surprise!

Previous Chapter

Pinkie Pie chuckled as she bounced up and down around her room. The party may have been over but for her the fun was just starting. After a year of waiting her bestest best friend from beyond Equestria had finally come for a visit and on top of that she was going to be Pinkie's room mate! A Summer long sleep over, what more could a pony ask for!?

"Hehehehehe!!" Pinkie chuckled as she continued to bounce around a like a foal who had just eaten her first piece of candy.

"We get if Pinkie Pie, you're excited" Rainbow Dash huffed as she rolled her eyes.

Pinkie just stopped and let out a happy chuckle. "Sorry Dashie, I just can't help it" Pinkie Pie widely smiled. "My very bestest best Hippogriph/Seapony friend staying the summer is just soo awesome!" Pinkie Pie cheered as she quickly and tightly hugged Skystar, the hippogriph just giving the peppy pink pony a happy smile in return. "And on top of that I have my bestest pegasus pony friend to help make her feel at home." Pinkie continued as she ran over and hugged Rainbow Dash as well.

"OK, OK, I get it you're happy" Rainbow wheezed as she pryed herself out of Pinkie's embrace. The peppy pink earth pony still smiling and chuckling. All of a sudden however Skystar spoke up. "Well, you know to be honest i've never been to a sleepover before." Skystar bashfully admitted. "And outside of Shelly and Sheldon i've never really had any room mates" She blushed. "So what exactly are we supposed to do at these kinds of things?" Skystar asked rather inquisitively.

Pinkie Pie just let another wide smile as the happy energy in her grew even greater "Oh my gosh Sky, there's like so many things you can do at a slumber party!" Pinkie cheered. "We can play games like Candy Land or Hungry Hungry Hippos, we can go downstairs and bake cupcakes, or or we can play hide and seek or have a pillow fight or play truth or dare, or build a blanket fort, or or tell each other super scary stories!!!" Pinkie Pie excitedly explained.

"Oh my, that does sound like quite a lot." Skystar chuckled looking over at her happy friend.

"Or we could just you know, sleep" Rainbow Dash chimed in as she plopped down on top of her sleeping bag, her head resting on her pillow.

"Oh, C'mon Dashie, it's not even that late yet!" Pinkie Pie pouted.

"Maybe not, but i'm poopped so, yea, sleep time" Dash sternly stated.

"OK, I understand" Pinkie Pouted. "I mean you were probably afraid that Skystar and me would beat you at Candy Land anyway." Pinkie Pie teased, knowing that this would activate her friends competitive streak.

As Pinkie had predicted Rainbow Dash darted up. "Say that again." Rainbow Dash huffed. "Oh no Dashie, it's OK, I understand i'm super duper good at board games, I don't blame you for being afraid to play against Pinkamiana Candy Queen Pie!" Pinkie Pie mischievously chuckled. By now Rainbow had her serious face on and looked Pinkie straight in the face. "OK Pinkie, get your silly little game and get ready to have your flank whooped by Rainbow Danger Dash!" Rainbow boasted with a cocky smile,

"hehehe, this sleepover stuff really is fun!" Skystar chuckled as she watched the two ponies stare each other down.

After a couple of hours had passed and the three slumper party participants had played about half a dozen games, Pinkie beating both at Candyland but Dash beating all others out at Clue and Hungry Hungry Hippos, Sky Star being surprisingly good at Marenopoly and Uno ending in a tie, by the final game of Super Silly Trivia Time the group had become burnt out on board games.

"You know Pinkie, these games have been fun and all, but I think i'm ready for a change of pace" Rainbow Dash admitted.

"Yea, same" Skystar agreed.

"Hmm, OK....I guess we can switch things up." Pinkie thought. "But how?"

"What about that Truth or Dare game you talked about earlier?" Skystar asked. "That sounded fun."

"Oh yea!" Pinkie Cheered. "Let's do that!" The peppy pink pony shouted.

"OK, OK we'll play truth or dare, just calm down Pinkie, yea don't wanna wake-up the cake twins do yea!?" Rainbow Scolded.

"Hehe, sorry" Pinkie Blushed. "I'll go get a bottle for the game and be right back!" She announced as she zipped out of the room, Skystar and Dash just looking at one another and chuckling at their friends seemingly never ending stores of energy.

Shortly after pinkie returned and the three set in the middle of the room.

"OK, so let me see if I understand this" Skystar began "We take turns spinning the bottle and whomever it lands on we ask them truth or dare and if we say truth they have to answer any question honestly and if we say dare they have to do whatever we dare them to?" Skystar curiously asked.

"Yea, more or less" Dash affirmed.

"But there are some rules of course" Pinkie said in as serious a tone as she could "You can't dare ponies to do something that could hurt them and while you can ask any truth you want most stay a way from super duper personal questions." Pinkie pie explained.

"OK, got it, let's play!" Skystar cheered as she clapped her claws.

"OK, Dashie, you go first!" Pinkie Smiled.

"Sure, why not" Dash agreed as she spun the bottle with her hoof, it landing on Pinkie.

"OK Pinks, Truth or Dare?" Rainbow Asked. "Oh, Oh Dare!" Pinkie Pie cheered. "Hehe, OK then" Rainbow Dash slyly chuckled. "I dare you to drink an entire bottle of soda in one gulp!" Rainbow Chuckled.

"Haha, child's play!" Pinkie boasted as she grabbed a nearby soda bottle and chugged it down faster then Twilgiht eating a hayburger. "BURP!!" she loudly belched afterwords. "Nothing to it!" She smiled, happy of her accomplishment.

"Bwahahaha, Pinkie, you are hilarious!" Skystar laughed as she rolled back and held her sides.

"Hehe, thanks" Pinkie Pie blushed as she set back down. "OK, my turn!" she sang as she spun the bottle as hard as she could, it eventually slowing down in front of Skystar. "OK Sky, truth or dare?" Pinkie Pie asked with a smile.

"Hmm....Since you did dare I guess i'll do...truth" Skystar chuckled wit ha reply.

"OK then, Princess Skystar, who do you like better, Shelly or Sheldon?" Pinkie asked with a rather serious face. Skystar just paused. "Pinkie, how dare you make me pick between my two oldest friends!" She faux-gasped as she pretended to faint. "Oh I mean sure Shelly is a much better listener then Sheldon, but Sheldon is much more articulate and more fun to debate Seaquestrian politics with" Skystar rambled. "But at the end of the day...." Skystar paused. "I just love all of my friends!" She chuckled as she grabbed Pinkie and gave her a tight hug.

"Bleh" Rainbow exclaimed, getting tired of all the over abundance of chuckling and lovey-dovey friendship mush.

"OK, OK" Pinkie chuckled as this time it was her turn to wiggle out of another's embrace. "It's your turn now sky, go ahead and spin the bottle!" Pinkie Smiled.

"Okie Dokie!" Skystar replied as she grabbed the bottle with her claws and began to spin. The bottle getting slower and slower until it stopped right in front of Rainbow Dash.

"Ohhh" Skystar cooed. "So, Ms. Dash, truth or dare?" Skystar asked a playful look in her eyes. Rainbow Dash thought about it for a bit. "eh, what the hay, i'll go with truth" She responded to the other's surprise. "I mean a dare would be fun and all, but anything you could come up with would probably be way to easy for me, no offense" The cyan mare boasted.

"Fair enough" Skystar replied. "OK then, Rainbow Dash, I gotta ask, Pinkie tells me a whole lot about you and the others in her letters, but she never really tells me much of anything too juicy-so i'm kinda curious. Do you have a special somepony, or is there any pony you have a crush on!?" Skystar inquired an eager smile on her face. Rainbow Dash however just froze. For somepony like her a question like this was one of the worst you could ask. Sure some ponies liked to gossip and talk about the colts n fillies they had crushes on, but Rainbow Dash always hated stuff like that, ecspecially when she did such a good job of constantly denying she ever felt any form of romantic feelings for anypony. Her fellow wonderbolts, just admiration, Quibble Pants, just a friend who also liked Daring Do, and Daring was just a fellow adventure pony. No romance there, nope, and then there was Pinkie Pie, I mean sure she was super cute and adored Rainbow Dash which stroked her ego in a way that Dash loved, but nope, no romantic feelings there either....right.

"Uh...Dashie? Yea in there?" Pinkie asked. The pony just waving her hoof in front of her friend. Rainbow Dash just blinked herself back to reality. "Oh ah, yea- about that" Rainbow began as she cleared her throat "Sorry Sky, but I don't do the whole romance things." Rainbow groaned. "I mean i'm awesome enough as is, and I don't need that kind of wing pony-if yea catch my drift." Rainbow stated

"I see" Skystar pouted. "Well, yea can't blame a girl for asking, I mean i went a year without hearing any juicy gossip." Skystar blushed. "But hey, you want to be a strong independent mare, I can respect that" Skystar smiled.

"Darn" Pinkie huffed "I was sure you were gonna say Quibble Pants" The pink pony replied. "Now I owe Applejack 10 bits!" Pinkie Huffed. Rainbow meanwhile just rolled her eyes and looked at the clock. "It's getting late, let's just go to bed already" She huffed.

"Okie Dokie Dashie" Pinkie agreed as she grabbed Gummie and hopped to her bed, Dash snuggling into her sleeping bag.

"Where do I sleep?" Skystar asked a bit confused. "Oh, right I forgot you didn't bring much with you" Pinkie sheepishly chuckled. "Well, how about you sleep with me" She smiled at her friend. "My bed is plenty big enough for one more!" She smiled. Skystar just smiled back and hopped up on the bed snuggling under the covers and giving Pinkie Pie yet another hug. Meanwhile Rainbow Dash just watched the sight, an uneasy feeling bubbling up in her stomach once more.
