Your wish came true.

Trotting away from your house with a piece of paper in hoof, and your bits in your saddlebag , you look down and you will need the following; Candy canes, salt water toffee, candyfloss, marshmallows, sugar cubes, crackers and a lot of chocolate, that’s only from Sugarcube corner. From Pinkie’s house you have to pick up all of her board games, making sure not to leave one she said. From Twilights you have to bring some scary stories for when the night comes and from Rarity’s Boutique you have to pick up ribbons and streamers for the decoration, can’t forget to go see Applejack for some tasty apples and apple juice. Leaving Pinkie Pie to set up the slumber party, you quickly head off to Sugarcube Corner to buy the candy first.

As you get to Sugarcube Corner, you see Mr and Mrs Cake putting out a brand new batch of deliciously looking cakes, along with sweets at the other end of the store. You huddle in and put the list on the counter.

“Hello Mr and Mrs Cake, it’s lovely to see you.”

“And you too, Pinkie told us about you after the party you held for Rainbow, she seems to like you quite a bit, are you her new friend Speedster?”

“Why yes I am, I came to buy these products from you please, we are holding a slumber party tonight and I have to go out and collect a load of things for Pinkie Pie.”

“Not a problem dearest, just let me work out how much that will be.”

“Okay, also could you throw a cake in there too?”

“Sure, that brings the total price to… 100 bits, is that okay?”

“Sure is, here you go.” You place 100 bits on the counter, plus an extra 25 as a tip. You quickly huddle the sweets into your saddlebags. “Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!”

“Not a problem dear, you’re welcome any time.”

“I’ll keep that in mind, see you guys later!” You quickly open your wings and fly back to your house to drop off the sweets, you see a slightly worried Pinkie Pie in the distance, hopping up and down with her hooves crossed, and you quickly hurry over to her to see what’s wrong. “Are you okay Pinkie?”

“Yeah just uhm, oh oh! I remember! I have to go get my sleeping bag from my house but I didn’t want to leave your house unlocked so I stayed here.”

“Pinkie, you have the key.”

“Oh yeah! Tehe, silly me! Oh oh! I can go pick up the board games while I am there too! Wahoo!”

“Okay, guess that’s something to tick off of the list at least.”

“Wait, don’t you have a sleeping bag?”

“Uh, no I can always go out and buy one though.”

“I can’t have you doing that silly! You can have my other one!”

“Oh, okay I guess that’s cool, as long as it isn’t too much trouble.”

“Not at all! I will go and get the stuff now, just go in and set up the sweets, I will be back shortly.”

“Want me to fly you there? It will be so much faster.”

“Sure!” She hastily jumps on your back and wraps her hooves around your neck with her nose nuzzled in your mane; it feels awkward, but comfy too. You set off into the sky towards Sugarcube Corner where she lives so go get the rest of the stuff when all of a sudden you see Rainbow zooming through the air with Spitfire, you stare at her for a few seconds, but Pinkie tugs on your mane to make you carry on.

As you arrive at Sugarcube Corner, she jumps off of your back and rushes inside. Within seconds, she has her sleeping bag, more candy and the board games, all stacked on her back. “Uhm, maybe I should tie these down with something, oh oh! I know! I can go get some ribbon that we use to wrap boxes of cakes!” She flashes away like a rocket and comes back, covered in ribbon. “Oki doki loki! I am ready to go back now!” She starts giggling and hops back onto your back, her hooves wrapped around you once again.

“Right, I will drop you off and leave the food there; I am going to go to Rarity’s afterwards to pick up the decorations, I will leave you to set up the party, ok?”

“Oki doki! I can’t wait for tonight, it’s going to be so amazing! We will play truth or dare, eat candy and have pillow fights! Oh my gosh tonight is going to be so totally awesome!” She squeals with excitement at the thought of it. She rummages through your saddle bag, taking out all of the food and dumps it in the house in a giant stack. “See you soon!”

“Okay Pinkie, I will see you soon.” You hastily retreat from conversation to go to Rarity’s Boutique, maybe you could pick up some new clothes or a better saddlebag even. As you arrive at the Boutique, you notice Rarity galloping around the store through the window and her sister sat in the middle, trying to speak but it doesn’t seem to be working. You knock on the door but with no answer, thinking it’s a bad time, as you turn around to leave for Sweet Apple Acres, she opens the door. You quickly turn around to be greeted with a giant smile of Rarity’s. “Oh, I was just about to-“ She cuts you off in mid-sentence.

“Hello and welcome to Rarity’s Boutique! And how may I help you today?”

“Yeah, I am looking for ribbons and streamers, do you have some?”

“Why of course dearie, step right in.” As you walk into the boutique, you notice dresses, bags and suits all over the place, they all look so amazing, and you can barely believe this type of fashion was even possible, it’s so inspiring to see someone create such a wonderful thing! You’re cut short on your imagination by a not to happy looking Rarity. “Here we are, how much of this are you going to need?”

“Uhm, well enough for a Pinkie party?”

“Wow, you will need all of this then, will you not?” She proudly starts laughing, a smile now appearing on her glum face.

“Yeah, has she not invited you yet?”

“No, where is the party?”

“It’s at my house, Pinkie should be over shortly to pick you up, and it’s a slumber party! I hope you have a sleeping bag, of course.”

“My little dearie, of course I have a sleeping bag, I made my very own, just like I do with most of my things.” She appears amused at that, also very proud looking.

“Oh, that’s very nice; do you sell saddlebags here, too?”

“Yes, they are 45 bits each. And by the way, it’s 20 bits for these materials.”

“That’s fine.” You pull out 110 bits out of your saddlebag and place them on the counter. “Could I have two saddlebags then please? I would like them both to be rainbow coloured.”

“You’ll have to excuse me, I don’t really make rainbow coloured ones, so you will have to pick them up later today or tomorrow if that’s better.”

“That sounds perfect, thank you very much.” She takes the bits and puts them in the till next to her. “Thanks again.”

“No problem dearie, it’s a pleasure to help, I have but one question though.”

“Go ahead.”

“Why are you having this party?”

“It was all Pinkie Pie’s idea, I just wanted to speak to you all.”

“But whatever for?”

“I have news.” You quickly grab the materials and put them in your saddlebag and rush out of the store, leaving Rarity slightly stunned. As you close the door to the Boutique, you quickly notice a certain purple Unicorn; it’s a Twilight Sparkle, trotting away with Spike into the distance. You quickly open your wings and fly towards her hoping to catch up soon. As you close in on her, you notice her shoo away Spike to go do some kind of chores for her, you fold in your wings and trot up to her. “Hey Twilight, I need a favour please.”

“Sure, what can I do for you?”

“I need to borrow some books from the Library, if that’s okay with you?”

“Well of course it is! But how do you know about me?”

“I was uhm… Talking to Princess Celestia and your name cropped up in conversation, quite the skilled Unicorn I must say.”

Twilight starts to blush, “Oh, it’s nothing really…” She shy’s down a bit and starts playing with her hoof and the dirt on the floor.

“So uhm, about those books?”

“Yeah, right this way.” She walks towards the library, you following in her tracks.

She opens the door and heads up to the bookshelves, “What kind of books are you looking for? We have them all in the library, any kind you can think of!” A small grin falls upon her face, but very excited at the same time.

“Well, I am looking for scary ghost stories, those.”

“Oh sure, right over… Ah ha! Her we are, “Scary Ghost Stories Volume 666” This should do the trick, don’t let the name put you off, I hear it’s still a good read.” She blows the dust off of it and you cough profusely.

“Yeah, that should do great thanks Twilight, has Pinkie Pie told you about tonight?”

“The slumber party? Yeah she did, I can’t wait!”

“Me neither!”

“Why do you want to have this party anyway?”

“It was Pinkies idea, I’m not going into detail, can’t wait to see you there!”

She starts to blush again, “Same to you, hey I never caught your name?”

“Speedsters the name, flying’s my game!”

“Cute, I like it!”

“Yeah, thanks, see you at the party then!” You quickly huddle away, but not before hearing a quiet murmur from behind.

“You bet you will.”

You pass it off at a friendly remark, not thinking what it could turn into.

As you head on over to Sweet Apple Acres, you notice Applejack bucking some trees in the field, you slowly hover down to her, just out of sight  so that she doesn’t see you, you carefully sneak up behind her, but before you can yell boo, she bucks you in the gut.

“Ouch!” You fall on the floor wincing with pain.

“What in tarnation’s?”

“Oooouchh…” Your stomach really hurts.

“Sorry there, ah didn’t notice you were there Sugarcube.”

Coughing in pain, you manage to speak. “*Vigorous cough*Yeah, I was going to sneak up on you and scare you. *Cough*”

“Well why in tarnation’s would yall wanna do that for in the first place, darn it?!”

“I was going to *cough* surprise you with the invite to my party tonight, it’s a slumber party, it was Pinkie’s *cough* idea.” You can’t help but wheeze out in pain, she has quite the buck in her.

“Sorry, ah didn’t mean to, ah thought you was a tree is all, yall shouldn’t be sneakin’ up on ponies like that, give ‘em quite tha fright.”

“Yeah, I will bare that in mind next time, thanks.”

“So what’s this about a slumber party?”

You clamber up off of the floor, “Yeah, me and Pinkie Pie are throwing a party, it was mainly her idea but I just want to talk to you all.”

“Why would yall even want to talk to us? And who do you even mean by us?”

“You, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight, you now, the group?”

“What about Rainbow?”

“Yeah, her too I guess.”

“How yall know about us?”

“Uh, through Rainbow, I don’t have time right now, Pinkie Pie will be down soon, I have to go see Fluttershy.”

“Careful, she aint exactly keen on strangers.”

“Okay thanks, I will bare that in mind.” You head over to Fluttershy’s cottage but you spot a bouncing Pinkie Pie in the dirt track, merrily hopping away. “Hey Pinkie, how come you’re here?”

“I was visiting Fluttershy, I told her about the slumber party and she can’t wait! I was just about to head on over to Sweet Apple Acres but I think you just came from there, so that means that everyone knows! They should be setting off right about… Now.”

“Oh, let us make haste, too my house!”

“What?” She stares at you blankly.

“Never mind, let’s just get going.”

“Oki doki loki!”

As you arrive at your house with Pinkie Pie on your back, you set her down and notice everyone turning up with their sleeping bags on their backs and all sorts of other things with them, it appears to be… Mother of Celestia, it’s makeup!
