“They want to what?” Rainbow asked with a slackjawed expression. “Seriously?”

“Hang out with us,” I repeated myself with my arms folded across my chest. “And yes they do.”

“Not that I’m saying no darling but why?” Rarity asked with a raised eyebrow. We were at Pinkie’s side job getting milkshakes as usual at our normal table. This was our predecided meeting spot for a lot of things now. Especially since more than one band used the band room now. Trixie uses it, Flash does. Sometimes even Lyra and Octavia are practicing their lyre and cello together in it.

“Because they need more friends. And I expect you guys to be on your best behavior because I already said yes for you guys,” I said sternly.

“Than why ask us?” Applejack asked. “If yah already decided to speak for us, what’s our opinion matter?”

“She’s right,” Fluttershy said quietly. “You shouldn’t speak for others without knowing how they feel.”

“We will be nice. We aren’t mean!” Pinkie exclaimed. I rolled my eyes and stared at them.

“So because I spoke for you guys, you won’t let them hang out with us?” I raised an eyebrow. I know I may be a bit aggressive right now but I kinda started my time of the month and I’m not in a good mood.

“Woah now,” Applejack held up a hand. “We ain’t say that. Are ya feeling alright? You’re kinda moody.”

“Yeah I’m sorry. It’s just you know girl troubles,” I admitted as I drank some of my chocolate milkshake I had ordered. Fluttershy and Rarity gave me sympathetic looks while the others nodded.

“That explains it,” Rarity said. “It’ll pass dear. Don’t worry.”

“Freaking doesn’t feel like it,” I grumbled. Rarity reached across the table and squeezed my shoulder.

“We would love to hang out with your friends. My house tonight.”

“So what is that you guys normally do at sleepovers?” Aria asked as she sat on the floor next to the door. Sonata was playing some video game with Rainbow and Rarity was doing Adagio’s nails. “Not that I care but you know curiosity.” We all smirked at each other. She did a pretty bad job at hiding her legitimate curiosity and the fact she did actually care.

“Well sometimes we play card games, video games, talk, watch movies. Or just random stuff,” Applejack said from her spot on the bed.

“Or we eat cookies!” Pinkie screamed as she tossed an Oreo package on the bed.

“Or that.”

“What do you guys do at sleepovers?” Rainbow asked as she tossed aside her controller and tried to hide her side of the screen saying lose while Sonatas said winner. The three sisters looked at each other before shrugging.

“We only ever had Sunset over. We usually ate pizza, watched a movie and that was it,” Adagio admitted. “We didn’t typically do sleepovers.”

“Mainly we used to just focus on how to take over the world,” Aria chimed in. “We never had time for sleepovers when you’re a villain.” All of the Rainbooms looked uncomfortable except me.

“Well!” Rarity spoke up and stood up, quickly heading to her closest. “Since I lost the dare last time, Rainbow is making me show my closet of shame!”

“Your what?” I raised an eyebrow.

“Her closest of sexual clothing,” Rainbow grinned and rubbed her hands today eagerly. Fluttershy let out an eep and turned red.

“Rainbow Dash!” Rarity snapped with a blush of her own. “It’s nothing like that! It’s just a closet of old Halloween costumes I wore as a kid.”

“Like the Lola Bunny one?” Applejack asked and burst out laughing. “Let me tell yah, if yah wore that now ya would have everyone on yah!”

“Is that what that was? I thought it was a Playboy bunny.”

“I have never looked at those types of magazines Rainbow Dash,” Rarity gave her a dirty look. “Hugh Hefner was demeaning to women.”

“Not really,” Rainbow Dash retorted. “He only had women in his magazines. He was a icon. He changed the whole view of the girl next door as more than a sex object. He supported feminism, encouraged women to pursue college degrees and be independent. He celebrated sex in a way that allowed men and women to be open about their sexualites and reversed notions about premarital sex. The whole topic of sex was taboo when Playboy first got made.” We all sat quietly and watched the impromptu debate.

“Of course you would support premarital sex,” Rarity scoffed and rolled her eyes.

“What is that supposed to mean? I’m a virgin just like you!” Rainbow exclaimed. “There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sex before marriage. If two people wanna have a good time, who are you to stop them? You gonna walk in there and yank him out of her-”

“Alright let’s not,” Applejack quickly interrupted. “Just go and bring out some of your costumes and we will judge em.” Rarity glared at Rainbow with a red face before disappearing into the closet, slamming it shut behind her.

“Wow,” Aria said. “That was something.” She tossed a piece of caramel popcorn into her mouth.

“We meet Hugh Hefner once,” Adagio admitted. “Interesting human.”

“He also donated money to-” Rainbow tried to say before Applejack interrupted her again.

“Ah know what you’re about to say and don’t,” Applejack warned. “Rares is already mad at ya. Don’t bring up politics into this or we will never have a quiet evenin’.” Rainbow rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

“I wasn’t going to bring up politics. I don’t give a shit about them. I was going to say he donated money to animal shelters, mental health research and even funded the first rape kit but fine I won’t say anything else.” The door to the closet opened and Rarity stepped out. Adagio and Rainbows eyes widened as Aria spit out her pop, quickly covering her mouth.

“What the fuck?” I said as I stared at Rarity wearing a bunny suit. “I thought you were gonna show us ones you wore as a kid, not an adult!”

“W-wow Rarity,” Applejack muttered. “Ah wasn’t expecting this.”

“Oh my,” Fluttershy said softly with a bright red face.

“You look fuckable Rarity!” Pinkie shouted with a smirk.

“Pinkie Pie!” Applejack admonished. “Language!”

“What, Sunset cusses all the time and you never tell her to watch her mouth!” Pinkie pouted.

“Because Ah know she wouldn’t care if Ah told her too!”

“Damn right,” I agreed smugly as I tried and failed to not laugh at Rarity. Aria and Sonata quickly joined me along with Rainbow and Pinkie. “I-I gotta get a picture of this!”

“Normally I would say no but go for it,” Rarity shrugged and placed an arm behind her head. We all instantly stopped laughing and stared at her in shock.

“Woah really?” Rainbow asked. “This doesn’t seem like you.”

“Agreed,” me and Applejack said in unison. I shrugged and took the picture before saving it to my phone and setting it on the nightstand.

“Alright that’s all you guys get to see mainly because it’s the only one I have,” Rarity stepped back into her closet and shut the door.

“Ah worry about that girl.”

Author's Note

The Hugh Hefner argument was an actual argument I witnessed between two of my aunts one day. I had to Google most of the shit about Hugh Hefner to be honest.
