Every Dark Night Turns Into Day

“So what happens now going forward?” Lyra asked me as I rested my head on Derpy’s lap. The other girls were scattered around my room talking.

“I don’t know,” I admitted. “Me, Derpy and Applejack have dinner tomorrow night to discuss things. I’d bring you, Bon Bon, Vinyl and Octavia and make a group date thing but Applejack is single and as frustrated as I am with her even though we are slowly talking again, I don’t want to hurt her feelings and remind her she’s single.”

“I mean we could always do one next week,” Bon Bon shrugged. “Been awhile since we went on a triple date.”

“We can definitely set something up,” Vinyl commented as Lyra and Octavia nodded their agreement.

“I’m in,” Derpy smiled. “Uh preferably not expensive. You guys know I’m clumsy and well I don’t wanna ruin your experiences by breaking something expensive and embarrassing you all.” Lyra placed a hand on her shoulder and squeezed.

“You can’t ever embarrass us Derp. Don’t worry about it.” Me and the others nodded in agreement as Trixie flashed a smile.

“Trixie agrees!” Trixie exclaimed. “Derpy is quite nice. Trixie is very fond of her baker friend.” I chuckled at Derpys blushing expression.

“Thanks Trix,” Derpy mumbled with a red face. Only Trixie allowed our large group to call her by her nickname. Just like I allowed them to call me Sunny. One day, I’m gonna get away with calling Lyra LyLy. So far she only let’s Bon Bon and Derpy call her that.

“What are you and Applejack gonna talk about?” Lavender asked as she played with some of her magic playing cards. Fuchsia sat across from her, clapping.

“How to work out the rest of the girls. I suppose Rainbow might be next. While I’m slightly mad at her shoving my sister like that, I understand it was her language of telling her to stop.”

“Rarity could be easy too. You could start a client buyer relationship and have her make a dress for the Spring Fling,” Adagio suggested.

“I’m banned remember,” I reminded her. That was my punishment for the Fall Formal. I was banned from all school functions like that. Mom had fought for me to get it removed but it was out of her hands she said. An awkward silence fell over us. Naturally, Lightning Dust shattered it.

“Well if they don’t let you attend, I won’t go either!” Lightning exclaimed as she slammed a fist into her palm angrily.

“Same here!” Vinyl agreed. Bon Bon nodded as she folded her arms across her chest. I identified the voices of the rest of the girls voicing their agreement.

“You guys don’t gotta do that,” I said sheepishly. “You girls should have some fun after all we’ve been through. I’ll be fine.”

“Hell no!” Lyra shouted and I jumped slightly. “I refuse to go. If we all refuse to go, they must change it. We’re some of the most well known students right now. Surely us doing this must change Principal Celestia and VP Lunas mind.”

“I don’t know if us starting a riot in the school is a good idea,” I said uncertainly. “Especially after anon a miss. Plus mom works there and my three sisters go there. It could make life hard for them.”

“I didn’t say we start a riot Sunny. Peaceful protest and all,” Lyra explained as Derpy stroked my hair.

“That could work,” Aria mused as she rubbed her chin. “I mean I still think you could use a few more molotov cocktails and throwing them around the school but to each their own.”

“God you and Scootaloo would get along great you little anarchist,” I grumbled. Sonata and Lightning both snorted back a laugh. Aria grinned as she nodded enthusiastically.

“I mean if you’ll let me and her burn down a few buildings downtown, I’ll take her.”

“Absolutely not!” Me, Bon Bon, Octavia and Derpy exclaimed at the same time as we shot glares at her.

“Fine fine.”

“We’ll figure something out,” Bon Bon promised our little terrorist friend. Or whatever the chaos driven siren we called a friend was. “We always do.”

“Let’s go Nerd Herd!” Sonata shouted suddenly as we all stared at her.

“The fucking what?” Lightning asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Figured we needed a group name. Plus when we all do group songs, we can use it as our band name!” Sonata giggled as she fell backwards onto my beanbag.

“The only nerds here are you and Lyra,” Aria grumbled.

“Hey!” Lyra growled and shot a glare her way. “I think it’s great Sonata.”

“Me too,” I agreed as Adagio gave a shrug.

“I don’t care either way. It’s certain memorable,” Adagio said.

I groaned quietly and rolled over in bed. I could hear quiet snoring coming from behind me. Derpy had spent the night last night. She should practically move in at this point. I felt something move next to me and I opened my eyes slowly.

“Derpy?” I mumbled and my eyes widened. Diamond Tiara was sleeping next to me tucked under my arm. Scootaloo was asleep between me and Derpy and Derpy had an arm wrapped around her as Scootaloo quietly snored. Silver Spoon was sleeping behind Derpy with her arms around her. Thank God we had pajamas on this time. We typically slept with near nothing on but we had passed out after changing.

“Hey Sunset,” Derpy whispered with a smirk. “We have some guests in bed.”

“I see that. How did they even get in bed without waking us up?”

“Well you see,” Derpy mumbled to avoid waking the three girls up. “I was going to the bathroom and was coming back to bed. They found me in the hallway and apparently Scootaloo had a nightmare. She wanted to sleep with us and the other two tagged along. Figured you wouldn’t mind. You don’t, right?” I gave her a warm smile before kissing Diamond on the back of her head as she breathed evenly as she slept.

“I don’t mind at all.”
