Unto A New World

Chapter Fifteen: Twilight's Sleepover.

When I made it home lastnight, I cleared out Vinyl fridge. They just stood there and whatched me gorge on the food. I didn't care what it was, as long as it went into my stomach. I even ate hay, and to my surprise it wasn't even that bad, although it made my throat itch.
Once I was done, Vinyl told me that I had to restock the fridge, which ment buying four litres of milk, chocolate sauce, ice-cream, cupcakes, six pack of beer and I'd have to make dinner for the next three nights to restock the left overs.
Vinyl said she was looking forward to eating some hay and gravy for lunch the next day, which I was in the middle of eating.
Just make me feel like a monster why don't you?

For the rest of that night, we stayed up late. We played cards until atleast eleven, and Red had gone to bed, followed by Vinyl, which left me and Luna. We needed Tumbleweed here again.

"How was your day?" Luna asked me in a saddened tone.
I shifted around to the other side if the circular card table to sit next to my other half. "My day was great, it would have been better with you though" I said as I wrapped an arm around the princess. "What about you? How did your errands go?"
"Yeah. Good" she replied, bowing her head.
"What's wrong Luna? I asked, snuggling up under her wing.
Luna sighed, but smiled. "I was looking forward to spending some time with you".
"I know love, I was planning on it too, but little Applebloom wanted to play and it wasn't even for very long".
Luna smiled and looked at me with loving eyes "I want to have a filly of my own oneday".
"Oh? And who might you be wanting to have that filly with?" I asked with a wicked grin on my face.
"Who else?" She said as she wrapped her wing around me, making the hug even tighter.
She saw my face, which was one full of disbelief. She chuckled at the sight.
"I know what you're thinking, and it can be done" She started as she rest her head on my shoulder "Twilight introduced me to a zebra in the Everfree Forrest. I know of zebra magic and brews that can make a pony give birth to a zebra foal, so she may be able to make a brew that makes it so you and I can have a foal". Luna's face then loosened a bit "If not, we can always adopt". I could see how much she actually wanted to have a child in her eyes, she didn't want to adopt unless it was the very last thing we could do.
"We'll see Luna, we'll see" I said as I stroked her mane and pulled her in for a kiss.

Today, I awoke to find that Luna was ontop of me. She really was the hugging type when in bed.
She was making small whinnies everytime she breathed out, and she had her tounge poking out like she does when she concenrates. It was so cute.
But, unfortunately, she was getting heavy and I was finding it hard to breathe. I really didn't want to wake her up, but what choice did I have?
"Luna" I whispered, giving her belly a nudge with my arm "Luna wake up".
She slowly stirred awake "Wha-no I do not want the royal garments!" She yelled as her head shot up, hooves pressing down on my chest. Now I really couldn't breathe.
"L-Luna.. ca..eathe" was all I could say, there was no wind left in me at all.
Luna looked down at me and saw my face, my lips were turning blue.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" She said as she quickly got off my body. My body immediately took in a breath, and I cough and wheezed shortly afterward.
I felt myself starting to calm down, and my breathing was returning to normal.
"What a way to start the day huh?" I said jokingly.
Luna didn't find it funny. "I nearly killed you" she said in a hightened tone, tears were forming at the sides of her large, beautiful eyes.
"Well you didn't, so lets put this behind us and look forward to the day?" I tried to suggest. Her gaze didn't change at first, but then it soothed and turned into one of joy.
"I'm free today" said the princess in an excited tone "Want to hang out?" as she asked me, she lent back on a pillow and sniffed. She was trying to act cool and it was hilarious.
I started to giggle "Well we can hang out this morning, but I have to meet Junebug this afternoon" I told Luna, who's eyes dropped at the edges upon hearing this.
Her mood picked up, and she had a grin on her face. I knew that grin.
"Well then we'll have to make the most of it wont we?" she said as she clopped her hooves together.
Excited, but slightly frightened, I smiled and made a nervous chuckle. "Oh jeez".

Breakfast was over fast. The main topic for the conversation was Tumbleweed.
We came to a decision that we would have Tumbleweed stay with us. Vinyl could only give up one more room, so we were certain that she would be the one to take it.
We also decided what we were going to do today.
Nurse Redheart had to go back to the hospital and sign some forms to say that I'm healthy enough to look after myself. She could have done it sooner, but she wanted to stay with us longer. At this moment, Vinyl asked Redheart if she wanted to move in, and Red broke down in tears and said yes. They would only be together when Red was home from the hospital.
Vinyl told us all that she would go ask Tumbleweed if she wanted to move in, which we all hoped that she said yes. Red suggested that she go with her. The DJ didn't disagree.
Luna and I decided that her and I would go see Fluttershy, and afterwards the three of us would have a picnic in the country side. After that, Luna said she wanted to speak to Rarity, and I remembered that I had to see Junebug.
Busy busy busy!

I knocked three times on the cottage door. There were so many animals around, it was crazy.
The door slowly creaked open, revealing an observing eye. The eye looked me up and down, and on cue the door slowly opened, revealing the very shy and nervous Fluttershy. I hadn't visited her enough.
"Hey Fluttershy" I said softly, trrying not to scare her.
"Oh.. hey Jackson" She said, almost inaudible "Come in please.. I mean.. If that's alrigh-" her voice cut and all I could hear was a squeak. Her eyes were focused on Luna.
"Good morning Fluttershy" Luna said in a friendly tone.
"P-p-p-princess Luna!" Fluttershy replied, bowing her head as far down as she could get it.
"I've told you before Fluttershy, you don't need to be so formal with me!" Luna chuckled upon seeing the yellow pegasus mare's face turn a bright red.
"Oh y-yeah" Fluttershy replied, she tried hiding behind her mane. Her face blended in with her pink hair "Come in please!"
The canary yellow pegasus stepped aside from the door and let us into her home.
My oh my it was cosy! It was like an old ladies house, but had the feel of a much younger tennant.
"You guys can sit over here, I'll go make same tea" Informed Fluttershy, who trotted off to the kitchen humming a happy tune.
Luna and I took a seat at the table which Fluttershy pointed us to.
"I love Fluttershy" Luna said to me, looking around her house.
I shot Luna a glare "Not like that!" She retorted, blushing hotly.
"Well in that case I love her too" I replied, trying to make her feel better.
Right at that moment, Fluttershy came in with three teacups and a pot of tea, all resting on her wings.
"Love who?" She asked happily.
Luna and I looked towards eachother and nodded, then turned our gaze to Fluttershy.
"You" We replied in unison.
Fluttershy's cheeks flushed hot red "Oh.." She said shyly "Well I kind of.. like someone else.."
"Not like that!" Luna chuckled.
"We love you because you're so kind and calm all the time" I finished "And it's not like-like".
"It's like how a friend loves another friend" Luna finished for me.
Fluttershy's cheeks lost some of their reddness.
"Well in that case I love you both equally as much" She said quietly, so quiet Luna had to perk her ears up to hear and I had to lean in a little "But I sort of knew you ment that. It was just amazing to see you both speaking one sentence". Luna blushed and I wrapped my arm around her.
"So why are you both here?" Fluttershy asked "I don't usually get many visitors except for Rainbow Dash when she's hungry, Applejack when she's hurt, Rarity when she needs advice and TWwilight when she's lonely. Pinkie Pie just randomly pops up out of nowhere. She's so randomly random"
I smiled at the cuteness of this one pony. It's like all the ponies I've met have been combined into one. "We actually came to see if you wanted to go for a picnic with us?" I asked politely.
Fluttershy rose her hoof to her chin and stared at something out the window.
"I'm not busy, so I would very much like that" She said with a smile.
"You're not as shy as last time I met you Fluttershy" Luna said in a soft tone, similar to the one Fluttershy was using. If they kept this up I might need a hearing aid.
"Twilight taught me how to be assertive, but I wasn't sure it was working" She replied with a frown, which turned into a beaming smile "I'm glad it is though".

It wasn't long until Fluttershy was ready to go out. 'What did ponies need to do to get ready? It's not like she needed to get dressed up or anything. Do they even wear makeup?' I thought to myself, screwing up my face and shaking my head.
"What's that look for?" Luna asked with a chuckle. We were standing outside while Fluttershy got ready, and we were looking at all the animals that the shy mare was looking after.
"Do ponies wear makeup?" I blurted, which probably sounded like 'doponieswemakeup?'.
"What's makeup?" Luna asked quizzically. That answeres my question.
"Nothing important. The females in my world wear stuff called makeup on their faces, it's supposed to make them look prettier and hide their faults but most that do wear it are much prettier without" I explained "They think they 'need' it when they really don't"
"Oh! Well we do have this black stuff we put on our eyes, or around our eyes whatever suits you" She replied with a smile.
I leaned in for a closer look and Luna closed her eyes, showing me the black outline.
"Well I like it, it makes your eyes stand out" I told her, trying to make her blush.
She didn't blush "That's what we wear it for Jackson, both mares and stallions. Although the stallions that do usually act like mares.." She chuckled.
Fluttershy's cottage door swung open with a cracking noise, which made both Luna and I jump.
"Oh sorry.." Fluttershy said in a whisper, with a hint of humor in her voice "I don't know my own strength sometimes. The animals have grown used to it"
"Thats alright Fluttershy!" I replied "Let's get goi-" I stopped mid sentence realising something.
"Luna.. we didn't bring a picnic basket.." I said as I facepalmed, which connected with a mighty slap, making Fluttershy squeak and hide behind Luna.
"Oh?" Luna said with a grin "Watch this, my sexy apprentice".
Luna's horn started to glow, and I saw Fluttershy's face going red. "You did not just say that.." I replied, giving myself another facepalm.
Luna just chuckled as something started to form infront of her out of thin air.
A large basket appeared infront of me, wrapped in Luna's dark blue aura. "How?" I asked, gasping at the awesomeness that was just performed before me.
"Just teleportation Jackson, but I am amazed it worked so well! Usually I can't teleport something that I can't see" She confessed, but looking happy at the same time.
I pouted "Teach me?" I asked, trying to mimic Luna's puppy dog eyes.
"I will when you're ready, we have another lesson soon so I'll judge your ability then" She told me, poking her nose in the air and swishing her tail.
"Alrighty then" I said with a sigh, but still kept my pout face on. Fluttershy spoke up, apparently she was had been trying to say something for a while now.
"Um.. guys I forgot to tell you but Twilight is having a slumber party and she wanted you both to come" She said and looked down at the dirt road, pawing the soil "Thats if.. you didn't know already. I mean the rest of the girls will be there! It'll be so fun!" the pegasus clapped her hooves together in excitement.
"We'd love to come!" Luna exclaimed, clapping her hooves together.
True, I was excited but I didn't want to talk about hair and all that, although there would be Applejack and Spike.. and Applejack says she doesn't like all that frou-frou stuff so she'll be bored, Rainbow Dash doesn't really seem like the type either.
"I can't wait!" I said after taking a think about it.
"Great well it starts at six" Fluttershy informed us.
"Cool" I said as we continued walking "We'll be there".

We walked for around five more minutes? I couldn't tell, I was having too much fun talking with Fluttershy. Who knew that such a shy pony would be so interesting and have so many stories to tell?
"-And then the squirrel came right up to me and rubbed his cheek against my leg!" She finished her story, leaping into the air for emphasis.
Luna giggled at Fluttershy, who slowly sunk back down to ground.
"How does there look?" I asked, pointing to a small clearing on the right, which was covered by the shade of the tall trees nearby.
We weren't too far from Ponyville nor Applejack's farm, sort of in the middle.
"That looks great" Luna replied and Fluttershy nodded.
I smiled back and we made our way to the clearing, which wasn't twenty meters from the dirt track, but was located up a small hill.
I opened the basket that had been hovereing in Luna's magic and took out a checkered sheet and laid it on the ground while Luna and Fluttershy presented the food, plates and cups.
Cupcakes, hay, plenty of orange juice and some daisy sandwhiches were scattered around me on the blanket.
We started to plate up our food. Fluttershy took small amounts at a time, whereas Luna put as much as she could on her plate.
The two ponies looked at me as I placed some hay on my plate next to the cupcakes.
"What?" I asked, looking at their shocked faces.
"I thought you didn't eat hay?" Luna asked.
"Well when I ate out Vinyl's fridge, I ate hay and gravy and I liked it" I replied with a shrug of my shoulders.
Luna shrugged and dug her muzzle into her food and Fluttershy just smiled.
(A/N: Now I will tell you, I am slightly tipsy while writing this from here on, at eleven thirty at night so forgive okay? Okay).
"Now I know what to get you for your birthday" Fluttershy joked.
Luna looked up, food stuck to the sides of her muzzle "When is your birthday?" She asked.
I smiled at Luna, when she was eating she really didn't care about anything. Nothing mattered to her when she was chowing down on food.
"Thirteenth of July" I replied "What about you and Fluttershy?"
"Twenty third of January" Fluttershy informed.
Luna looked like she was thinking hard "I don't really know" she told me, looking down to her food "I was up in the moon for so long I was going a little crazy but now there's no crazy left I have to learn and remember things again".
"Well we'll find out" I comforted Luna, placing a hand on her back "I promise".
Luna looked a little happier "You know what? Let's do your magic lesson now" She said spontaneously. What made her think of that?
"Now? like now-now?" I repeated.
Luna nodded crazily.
"Well I'll let you two get to it then" Fluttershy said softly, but with a big smile on her face. God I loved Fluttershy.
"I don't want you to feel rejected or what have you Fluttershy" I replied to her kindness.
"Oh no! I won't be!" She replied quickly "Besides I'll see you tonight won't I?"
"Of course you will" Luna spoke up, and I nodded emphasising her words.
"Alright well see you then" Fluttershy said and she bowed to Luna before giving us both hugs, before she turned and flew back to her cottage.
Luna's horn glowed as she saw the yellow speck disappear into the horizon "This lesson will be on enchantments" She exclaimed excitedly.

"Junebug!" I shouted to the mare in Ponyville Square (A/N: I'm a poet and I didn't even know it?). She was sitting on a stone bench, looking at the water feature before her, which was a statue of Celestia with her wings fully stretched out. Her mouth was pointing heavenward, and water was streaming out from stone pursed lips.
"Jackson hey!" She said as she got up from the bench and smiled.
"I hope you weren't waiting long" I said, returning her smile.
"No I just got here" She said cheerfully "Shall we walk?"
I smiled and nodded. We walked for five minutes without saying anything. I decided to try and break the ice.
"So how are you?" I asked.
"I'm good thanks!" Junebug replied with a smile "How are you, my human friend?"
I chuckled "I'm great!".
Another awkward silence fell over us both. I wasn't really getting frustrated but I don't really know how to explain it.
(A/N: Not tipsy anymore, sorta fell asleep at the keyboard.. I think. Now I'm trying to continue on from where I left of).
"So Junebug! What do you like to do for fun?" I asked, hoping that we'd do it. She seemed to think for a few seconds before answering me.
"I like to pick flowers for my flower shop. Thats why I have these baskets" She said as she shook her rump, making the two baskets jiggle around.
Atleast we were going to do something! "Alright! Where are these flowers you want to pick?" I asked, trying to hide my boredom.
We were now atleast doing something. As much as I wanted to be here with her today, I just didn't feel like it. My mind was set on Twilight's sleepover and using the enchantments that Luna taught me, I was going to give them all presents since it was Hearth Warming soon.

We had been picking flowers for a while now, and I had learnt much. Flowers actually have healing properties which a zebra called Zecora uses.
I was starting to have a good time, and then Junebug said she had to go. We were only with eachother for three hours.
"I had fun today Jackson" Junebug said with a smile "Sure it was awkward at first but I didn't know you liked flowers so much! I could have just started with that"
"I didn't know I did either.." I replied, shrugging my shoulders "Want to catch up again soon? You can teach me more about flowers, maybe some healing stuff".
"Well I could certainly teach you about the flowers, but you'll have to speak to Zecora about the healing potions and brews" Junebug replied, off in her own little world "I'll let you know when I'm able to get away from the shop again" She said as she gave me a spontaneous hug, scaring me half to death. She was just standing there and the next thing you know A yellow blur hits me fair in the chest.
I calmed down and returned the hug, before I broke it. "Oh I nearly forgot!" I said as I took the pouch of gold out from my pocket and placed four bits in her saddlebaskets.
"You gave me two bits extra.." Junebug said in a mocking tone "I only used two yesterday!"
"Well when people, or ponies, give me any money at all I pay them back their full amount plus half" I said with a smile "But in your case I'm feeling generous".
Junebug giggled and shook her head when I bent over and bowed to her.
"Until we meet again m'lady" I said in a fancy tone.
"You foal" She chuckled and walked away "Cya".

'Now' I thought with a sigh as I turned to face Ponyville and it's shops 'Time to go shopping'.

Later:
I finished buying the presents for tonight withing an hour and it was now nearing four. I was to be at the library at six.
I spent all my bits on the girls, including Luna, Vinyl, Tumbles and Red.

I had found my way to Vinyl's and there was nopony there, so I had gone straight into the guest room and locked the door behind me.

Vinyl's POV:
So we all decided what we were going to do for the day. Everypony missed Tumbleweed and the truth was, I did too. The house was just so different without her, and I mean as much as Red and I love our privacy from time to time, I had to agree with Jackson when he called us a 'family'.
You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you that my house was usually quiet, besides the visits I got from Octavia.
And y'know? I sorta like it this way. I love the noise and the music that everypony plays.

Red and I left my house and started to walk to the hospital.
"I'm going to miss you" I told Redheart.
"I know you've told me twenty times Vinyl" Redheart chuckled to me "But I won't be gone for long, and I'll still come back every night after work".
"But that's still too long!" I replied, feeling my face droop even further.
"Well" Redheart said to me in a seductive tone "I'll make it up to you every night?".
She flicked her tail in my face as she trotted ahead of me, and I felt my cheeks flush red. "Then I guess I have something to look forward to every night" I replied, biting Red's tail and giving it a hard tug.
It was Red's turn to blush "Not until tonight V!" She exclaimed "And especially not in public".
"Aww" I sighed sadly as we came to a stop outside of the hospital. The building was huge, I'd only been here a few times, but it never seemed any less scary.
I hate needles.
Red smiled at the face I was making and gave me a kiss, before turning and entering the building.
'I wonder if Jackson and Luna are doing anything interesting?' I thought as I headed to the club to see if Tumbleweed was in.

Jackson's POV:
It was now five thirty, and I had finished setting up everything.
For Vinyl and Red, I had set up the dining room with red scented candles, cooked some food and had it all out and dished up for them. It was to be a romantic evening for the two mares.
I said I'd repay them somehow didn't I?
I left a note inside the door telling them what I had done and why.

I packed my things into my backpack saddlebags and left for Twilight's library.

I arrived at Twilight's house. I'd only been here once but I had been meaning to do it again.
Just as I raised my hand to knock on the door, and a familiar pink blur entered my vision.
"Ooh! Jackson! How're you? I'm great! You know what else is great? This party! I know its going to be the bestest sleepover yet! Even better now that you're here!" Pinkie screamed into my eardrum.
"Thanks Pinkie, I'm glad to see you too" I replied, slightly shell-shocked.
The library door creaked open to reveal Twilight's friendly face.
"Hey Jackson. Pinkie what did I say about harrassing the guests?" She said with a stern look on her face.
"Don't harrass them I know Twilight" Pinkie said sarcastically and rolled her eyes "Lighten up that pretty little face of yours and have some fun!" she touched her hoof to Twilight's nose, making her blush.
The purple unicorn looked over at me "Come on inside, everypony will be here soon" she stepped aside the door and let Pinkie and I in.
As I took a step inside, my nostrils were filled with the smell of cupcakes and lollies, which made my body shiver. It was a good shiver.
"Jackson! It's so lovely to see you!" Called a posh voice which could only belong to Rarity.
"Rarity!" I said as she trotted over and hugged me. She smelt like apple and cinnamon cupcakes. She was the only one here so far.
"How long have you been here?" I asked her.
"I've been here quite a while, I've been helping Twilight decorate the Library for the sleepover" She said with a confident smile "How does it look?"
I looked around the room and found that it had a very wintery feel to it, even though it was the middle of summer. "It looks great Rarity, you both outdid yourselves" I told her, boosting her confidence.
At that moment we heard a load knocking, or bashing, at the door.
"Rainbow ya weren't allowed to use ya wings ya cheat!" I heard a southern voice call from the other side of the closed door.
"You never said I couldn't!" Returned a boystrous voice, none other than Rainbow Dash herself.
"Ah didn't think ah'd have to!" AJ replied angrily.
Twilight rushed to the door and opened it, having Rainbow Dash fall through onto her face and AJ started laughing.
"That makes it all better!" Applejack said as she rolled on the floor.
"Shuttup AJ" Rainbow replied, blush on her face.
"Hey girls" Twilight said supressing a rising giggle "Glad you could make it! Come inside"
Applejack held out her hoof to help Rainbow up. "Thanks" Rainbow said "We'll race again soon and I won't use my wings okay?"
Applejack nodded "Sounds fair".
"Hey Applejack! Rainbow Dash!" I said as I brought them both in for a hug. Applejack returned it with her own hearty huug, but Rainbow just awkwardly laughed and put her hoof around me.
"Now we're just waiting for Fluttershy and Luna" Twilight said happily as she gave Applejack and Rainbow hugs.
"Um.. I'm here Twilight" Came Fluttershy's voice from the corner of the room. Everypony plus one human jumped in fright. "Oh sorry".
"That's quite alright Fluttershy" Twilight responded, using her magic to pick herself and everypony else up "How long were you there for?"
"Oh.. Only a few minutes" Fluttershy whispered.
"Alright" Twilight said awkwardly "Lu-".
She was cut off by a blinding light, which everypony was blinded by.. except me. I was used to it.
Luna was standing in the center of the room, she had two saddlebags on her flanks and had a rug over her shoulders.
"Hope I wasn't late" She said bashfully, looking around at the ponies on the ground.
"Just in time darling" Rarity called, shaking her head to clear her temporary blindness.
"Lets get this party started!" Rainbow said as she took flight and pumped her hoof in the air.

I had never partied like that. Ever.
I was exhausted and was slumping down on the couch, next to me was Rarity and Twilight.
"Great sleepover party Twilight!" I told the purple unicorn.
All she did was nod back. She wasn't the fittest out of the group, but that didn't mean she wasn't the most talented.
Luna, Rainbow, Applejack and ofcourse Pinkie were still up and dancing.
"I looked over to the two mares beside us and saw that Twilight had a big book floating infront of her and she was flicking through pages. The cover read 'The biggest book of sleepovers 101'. Twilight caught me looking.
"I used to have another one but I found this in Canterlot not long ago" She said with a shrug of her shoulders, slumping further down into the chair, before her eyes grew wide.
Twilight's horn's glow grew bigger, creating a second layer of magical aura around it.
'Everypony to the lounge please' She said in my head, and by the looks of it everypony else's. It was much like Luna's Mindtalk spell but Twilight used it in a different way. Luna looked impressed.
Everypony moved and sat around a large tree, which was decorated with large balls, bells, ribbons and fake snow.
Around the base were many wrapped presents all with colourful paper.
"Presents time?" Twilight suggested excitedly, which was returned with many excited hoofstamps and cheers. Twilight giggled "Alright alright calm down girls. Now I've already sorted all the presents into piles which belong to that pony" Twilight said as she pointed everypony to their piles. Each present was given by eachother and by a few other ponies around Equestria, like Twilight's parents and Celestia.

A few moments of unwrapping and the six friends had finished. Luna and I sat off to the side on a nearby couch and watched, locking arms and leaning on eachother.
The fire behind us was burning hotly when the six turned to us. "Now y'all gonna open ya presents too?" Applejack asked.
Luna and I lookied at eachother. We weren't expecting to receive any.
"We'll bring them over to you" Fluttershy said as she took two presents on each wing and carted them over.
Appljack picked one up on her nose and the other on her back, Rainbow balanced two on her own wings and Rarity and Twilight used their magic to carry two each of their own.
Pinkie appeared behind us with her two presents, making Luna jump and shift awkwardly from my side.
"We'll start with Rarity's first" Twilight stated, and Rarity was more than happy to obey.
The white fashonista smiled as she placed her presents infront of Luna and in my lap.
"Now it's not much so don't get your hopes up" Rarity said looking down at the floor while we opened the presents.
I saw Luna take out a beautiful black dress, with lace and what looked like onyx gems. Onyx is black right?
Luna was brought to tears "It's beautiful Rarity thankyou so much". Rarity blushed a little.
In my present was a coat and a pair of pants. The pants were made of the whitest silk and wool that was the nicest I'd ever felt. The coat had golden buttons and came with a vest which matched the pants. "Rarity I.." I was lost for words. All I could do was hug her.
"No need to say anything dear, it was my pleasure" She said happily, obviously seeming my gawking face. I released Rarity and she stepped back and lay down near the other five ponies. Spike was asleep and had been up in his room all night.
"Pinkie? Would you like to go next?" Twilight asked.
"Oh boy! Yesyesyesyes!" She said as she bounced around the group. Everypony was looking at her.
"Pinkie Pie, you are so random" Rainbow said with a facehoof, and received a nudge from a nearby Applejack.
Pinkie bounced over to Luna and I and placed to presents infront of us.
"Come on guys open them up I know you'll like them I made them myself! Oh no I think I just spoiled the suprise. They AREN'T cupcakes!" She said in a creepy tone.
They were cupcakes. Lots and lots of cupcakes. Luna tried her best to look suprised and I spoke for the both of us.
"Are you trying to fatten us up Pinkie?" I said jokingly, which received some chuckles.
"NO! Ofcourse not silly!" Pinkie replied, still bouncing "Do you like 'em? Do ya? DO YA?"
I took a bite of the top cupcake and my mouth was flooded with flavour. I moaned and Luna nudged me.
"What? They're good!" I replied to her teasing. Pinkie was estatic.
"Okay Pinkie, lets have Rainbow up now" Twilight said, a hint of frustraion in her voice, dragging Pinkie back with her magic.
Rainbow stood up and gave Luna and I her presents. They weren't wrapped very well, but I was taught never to judge a book by it's cover, and that was right.
Inside were our presents were necklaces.
"They're cloudstone" Rainbow informered Luna and I "You have no idea how hard it was for me to get them and to make them right for you guys to be able to touch them".
That made Luna and I gasp even more. The necklace looked like a thin chain of clouds, but was hard like a stone.. hence cloudstone.
"One size fits all" Rainbow said triumphantly as she helped Luna and I put them on. She had experience with moving clouds, so it was more or less the only way Luna and I could actaully put them on.
"Wow they suit you both so well" Rainbow said with a victory smile.
"I agree, yo ulook very dashing Jackson" Rarity said to me.
"Luna looks amazing" Fluttershy said softly.

Twilight instructed the other ponies up before giving her own, which were two books on romance. Gee hint hint Twilight.
Applejack gave me a ten gallon hat and Luna a few bottles of hard cider. Luna looked unsure why she gave her that, and Applejack whispered something in her ear. I still have no idea what she said, but whatever it was can make Luna blush as red as a lobster.
Fluttershy had given us small indoor plants that grew minature apples. Applejack was amazed.

Now, it was our turn to give the presents. I picked up my bag from the side of the couch and unbuttons the strap which was holding it closed.
Luna had given everypony a ticket to the Hearth Warming Masquerade Ball in Canterlot which was in a weeks time. Rarity was the most excited.
I took out the first present, which was for Fluttershy. It was her favourite flower, but had been enchanted so it would never die.
Rarity's present was a needle and thread, which were enchanted to bring good fortune.
Rainbow received a jacket and a pair of flying goggles, which she adored.
Twilight got a book to do with romance, which was a coincidence due to what she got me.
For Pinkie, I had a bottle of the hottest hot sauce I could find, which was supposedly imported from Tumbleweed's homeland.
And last but not least, Applejack.
"Now, I couldn't think of anything to get you" I confessed, kneeling down infront of her "But at the last second it struck me".
I pulled out an enchanted Red Ribbon, which I tied around the base of her hat.
"Whenever you need someone to talk to, or you just feel lonely.. All you need to do is whistle and I'll be there" I whispered into her ear "I know it's not much compared to everypony else's presents, but I want you to know no matter where I am I'm always here for you".
Applejack's eyes started to tear up. "It's perfect Jackson" she told me, letting a few tears roll down her freckled cheeks. Her friends were shocked that one of their most strongest friends was now crying.
I wrapped my arms around Applejack, and soon found that every other pony was hugging her too.

The rest of the night consisted of truth and dare, which had Luna and I kissing infront of everypony. Thanks Pinkie.
Then something that was going to happen, happened.
"Truth or dare?" Rainbow asked me.
"Truth" I replied.
"Ahhhh you baby! Alright let me think" Rainbow said as she rose her hoof to her chin and squinted her eyes "Alright got it!"
"Why were you really kicked out of the castle?" Rainbow asked, at which everypony's ears poked up.
I let out a long sigh "Guess I have to answer it don't I?".
Luna saw my distress and shuffled over to my side, wrapping herself around my body. Rainbow looked like she was regretting asking me the question.
"Well you guys remember how Luna and I were spending heaps of time in Ponyville not so long ago right?"
The girls all nodded.
"Well Celestia got a little jealous, and angry that I took Luna away from her" I said, and Luna gripped me tighter.
"Celestia wouldn't act like that" Twilight said, not accepting what I had said.
"She did" Luna replied before I could speak.
"But why? The Celestia I know wouldn't do that" Twilight protested.
"Well what if you lost spike for a thousand years, finally got him back just to have him taken away?" I asked her. Twilight remained silent, and my eyes started to tear up ""I took away the thing that ment the most to her away, without even knowing it" My voice was getting louder "I brought this on myself. All I've ever done is hurt people, and been blamed for things that I didn't even do"
"Jackson.. It's not like that" luna cooed into my ear, trying to calm me. It worked for a moment, but soon my anger took over.
"I need fresh air" I said as I got up and stormed for the door.
"Jackson wait!" I heard Rainbow Dash call. I took one look back at the ponies, before I shook my head. "I'm just going to hurt you too" I said as I closed the behind me.
"What'd I miss?" I heard Spike's voice coming from the library as I turned to leave Ponyville with one destination.
