On a cloudy day in Ponyville the pegasi are moving clouds all over the sky covering the sunny day and preparing for a storm. The ponies on the ground however including Applejack and Rarity were taking off the loose branches on the trees so they don't go flying around hurting others. Rarity on the other hand was reatatching a branch on a tree with her magic. She then looked at the bushy leaves on it and pondered for a moment. Then an idea appeared in her head and used her magic on the leaves and turned them into pony shaped leaf sculptures.
"Perfect." Rarity said pleasingly. Then a lasso appeared and grabbed on to it and tore it back down to the ground ruining her masterpieces. She then sees it was Applejack with the rope in her mouth.
"[spit] Just take the broken limbs down, Rarity. Don't y'all care about nothin' other than prettifyin'?" Applejack asked with a hint of annoyance.
"Some pony has to. You were making an absolute mess of the town square, Applejack." Rarity pointed out all the twigs and branches that lie on the ground.
"Yeah, well, the storm's gonna make an even bigger mess if we don't prune all these loose branches so they don't tumble down on anypony." Applejack reminded.
"I simply cannot imagine why the pegasus ponies would schedule a dreadful downpour this evening and ruin what could have been a glorious sunny day." Rarity complained as she watches the pegasi up above cover up the remaining holes that show the blue sunny sky.
"[sigh] Think more practical-like, will ya? They accidentally skipped a scheduled sprinkle last week, so we need a doozy of a downpour to make up for it, is all." Applejack explained. After saying that the rain started pouring down.
"Oh no! My wonderfully styled mane shall be ruined!" Rarity said in shock.
"Ya shoulda hurried up and finished the job already." Applejack mentioned.
"Oh! Ah! Oh Ph! It's coming down too fast! Ah! Oh! Oh! Ah! Help me!" Rarity said frantically as she tries to find a spot for cover.
"Uh, there. Hunker down to yer heart's content whilst I finish things." Applejack pointed at a park table. Rarity then rushes to get under it but then sees the wet mud under it.
"Oh, no, no, no!" Rarity looked down in overdramatic fear.
"What now?" Applejack asked irritatedly.
"I prefer not to get my hooves muddy." Rarity pointed out.
"Guh. There is just no pleasin' ya, is there? Everything's got to be just so." Applejack said annoyingly.
"[scoff] Well, and how does muddying my hooves serve any useful purpose?" Rarity questioned.
"Y'all wouldn't know useful if it came up and bit'cha." Applejack stated.
"[laugh] That doesn't even make any sense." Rarity said mockingly.
"Does so." Applejack argued.
"Does not." Rarity countered.
"Does so."
Does not."
Does so."
Does not."
Does so infinity. Hah."
Does not infinity plus one. Heh." Applejack and Rarity's eyes then tensed with irritated looks at each other.
"What say we go our separate ways before one of us says something she will regret?" Rarity said angrily.
"I reckon y'all are gonna say something you'll regret first." Applejack retorted.
"On the contrary, I believe it shall most certainly be you who says something you will regret first."
"I'm not sayin' anythin"
"Nor am I."
"Y'all just be on yer way, then!"
"After you!" Rarity gestured with her hoof and both slowly back away from each other without breaking their angry contact. Then a loud boom of thunder startled the two and both yelped while rushing back to each other and hugged shakingly.
"Perhaps we should stick together for now and find some shelter." Rarity gestured with a more calm voice.
"Uh-huh, perhaps we should. And fast." Applejack agreed fearfully while she still hugs Rarity in the harsh weather.
-Main music plays-
The storm raged on as Applejack and Rarity are in deep trouble if they don't find any cover and quick. Applejack crouched under the park table to take cover from the wet rain while getting her hooves dirty.
"Nice and dry under here, sorta." Applejack said as she looked at her muddy hooves.
"Oh! Unacceptable." Rarity repulsed at the farmers choice of shelter.
"Applejack, Rarity! Applejack, Rarity!" the two then heard a very familiar voice calling for them from a distance. They both looked at the source of the calling and finds their caller to be Twilight Sparkle at her library door gesturing them to come over.
"Twilight?" the two said in unison.
"Come inside girls, quick." Twilight called over while gesturing with her hoof. Applejack and Rarity then rushed over to the tree library to take cover from the storm. Just as Rarity entered Applejack quickly halted inches away from a thought she had about the place.
"Whoa, nelly. Is inside a tree really the best place to be in a lightning storm?" Applejack pointed out.
"It is if you have a magical lightning rod protecting your home like I do. Come on in!" Twilight happily invited.
"Hah! We are most grateful for your invitation." Rarity thanked.
"Thank ya kindly for yer hospitality." Applejack joined as she begins to enter the library. Then Rarity held out her hoof in front her and stopped her in her tracks. Rarity then pointed at her hooves which are still muddy from being under the table.
"Uh, do be a polite house guest and go wash up please, won't you?" Rarity said fussily with a smug smile as she walks up to Twilight.
"[grumble] If I gotta spend one more second with that fussbudget Rarity today, I can't be held responsible for what I'm gonna do." Applejack muttered irritatedly while heading outside to hose herself off.
"Some storm, huh? The pegasus ponies sure have outdone themselves this time. I hope you and Applejack don't have any trouble getting home." said Twilight.
"It may indeed be a problem." Rarity said with unsurity.
"Well, you're welcome to stay if need be. Zach and Spike are away in Canterlot on royal business. I'm home all alone tonight. [gasp] You and Applejack should totally sleep over! We'll have a slumber party! I've always wanted one of those." Twilight clapped her hooves in excitement and glee. Rarity blinked in disbelief of the thought especially with Applejack involved.
"Oh! Uh, goodness. Uh, I do believe I have another engagement scheduled for this evening that completely slipped my mind until just now. [nervous laugh] Ah, silly me, I can't possibly stay here all night - with Applejack." Rarity said with urgency. Twilight came over to one of many bookshelves in the fairly big library and used her magic to float down a cetain book with a pillow picture on the cover and and levitates it to Rarity.
"Slumber 101: All You've Ever Wanted to Know About Slumber Parties But Were Afraid to Ask." Rarity read.
"My own personal copy. It's a fantastic reference guide. You should see the table of contents. I've been waiting for a chance to use it, and today is the day! This is gonna be so great!" Twilight said with a wide smile.
"Yes, uh, great. [nervous laughter]" Rarity said uncomfortably and looks outside. Applejack was trying to get the water hose to wash her hooves but she was having a hard time holding it because the water sprays uncontrollably to her face. Rarity had no choice but to stay with Twilight and Applejack for the night. Applejack finally finished cleaning her hooves as she walks in without mud trails following her and with a nice sparkling shine to them. She then turns her attention to the two unicorns which the sight surprised her.
"[gasp] What in tarnation!" Applejack said in disbelief. Twilight and Rarity were laying down with green mud masks on their faces. Rarity was rubbing it on Twilight's face while she enjoys the sensation of the mask being smoldered on her face.
"Now wait just a goll-darn minute. Ya make me wash the mud off my hooves, but it's okay for y'all to have mud all over yer faces?" Applejack assumed irritatedly.
"Silly! This is called a mud mask. It's to refresh and rejuvenate your complexion." Rarity explained as she posed with her hooves resting on both of her cheeks in a fashionista style.
"We're giving each other makeovers! Eee-hee! We have to do it, it says so in the book." Twilight squealed as she levitates the book to Applejack for her to see.
"Slumber 101: Everything You-" Applejack stopped reading as she widened her eyes in realization.
"Oh hey, heh, would'ja look at the time. I gotta skidaddle on home quick. I'm powerful late for, uh, fer somethin'. Uh, g'night." Applejack waved and started running for the door until a loud thunder scared Applejack with a shout and quickly came back.
"Or maybe I'll sit here for a spell." Applejack said.
"Hurray slumber party!" Twilight cheered joyfully clapping her hooves. Applejack however didn't feel like cheering considering she is now stuck with Rarity for the night. Then without warning a glob of mud mask came flying right into Applejack's face and Rarity started rubbing it on her. Applejack made a disgusted sound at the feeling and Rarity began putting sliced zucini on her eyes.
"What in the world is this for?" Applejack asked confusingly.
"[sigh] To reduce the puffiness around one's eyes, of course." Rarity explained flatly.
"Puffiness-schmuffiness!" Applejack said and licked off the zucini from her eyes and ate them.
"That's good eatin'!" Applejack said happily and started making chewing noises which was annoying Rarity.
"Tee-hee! Isn't this exciting? We'll do everything by the book, and that will make my slumber party officially fun." Twilight said excitingly as she again claps her hooves while reading the book.
"Did you hear that, Applejack? You certainly would not want to do anything that would ruin Twilight's very first slumber party, would you?" Rarity asked narrowing her eyes.
"Of course not, 'n you wouldn't either, I reckon?" Applejack assumed irritatedly.
"So do we have an agreement?" Rarity asked.
"You betcha." Applejack agreed and spat on her hoof and draw it to Rarity with saliva drooling off of it.
"Oh! Gross! You know, there's messy and there's just plain rude." Rarity said irritably.
"You know, there's fussy 'n there's just plain gettin' on my nerves." Applejack growled as she nears her face up to Rarity's.
"Fortunately, I can get along with any pony, no matter how difficult she may be." Rarity assured.
"Oh yeah? Well, I'm the get-alongin'ist pony yer ever gonna meet." Applejack reassured challengingly.
"That's not even a word." Rarity pointed out annoyingly.
"This is going to be the bestest slumber party ever! Yay!" Twilight cheered as comes out from behind the two bickerers and hugs them together.
"Yay." Applejack and Rarity said flatly with less joy as they looked at each other with angry expressions toward each other. The storm continues to ravage on with high speeding winds and lethal lightning strikes. The slumber party Twilight made is actually holding up okay despite the two's fighting differences.
"So, how are you getting along over there, Applejack?" Rarity asked smugly while wearing hair curlers on her mane and tail along with Twilight and Applejack.
"Just fine, Rarity." Applejack answered irritably.
"This is so awesome! [giggle] Makeovers, check." Twilight announced as she checked off the step and used her magic to get rid of the hair products. Applejack smiled in relief knowing she had her stetson hat back and didn't have to wear those silly looking things on her head and tail.
"Ooh, it says here we have to tell ghost stories. Who wants to go first?" Twilight asked as she read the next step in the book.
"Me!" Applejack shouted quickly raising her hoof.
"I'd like to tell y'all the terrifying tale of the prissy ghost who drove everypony crazy with her unnecessary neatness. Oo-oo!" Applejack immitated a ghost whail as she waves her fore hooves in a swaying motion.
"I'm sure y'all are familiar with that one." Applejack said while glaring at Rarity as a sign of what she's talking about.
"Never heard of it, but I have a much better one. It's the horrifying story of the messy, inconsiderate ghost who irritated every pony within a hundred miles! Ooo!" Rarity said ghostly as she repeated Applejack's act.
"That's not a real story. You made it up." Applejack accused.
"It is a ghost story, they're all made up." Rarity reminded. Then all of a sudden just the moment another lightning bolt stroked the lights in the library went into a blackout and made the two fighters screamed in fear and surprise. Then Twilight turned on a lantern which also startled the two a bit.
"I've got one! This story is called The Legend of the Headless Horse. It was a dark and stormy night, just like this one. And three ponies were having a slumber party, just... like... this one..." Twilight said with a spooky tone as the storm help emphasize her story. As the story went on Applejack and Rarity were actually getting really frightened of the story.
"...and just when the last pony thought she was safe, there... standing right behind her... just inches away was... the Headless Horse!" Twilight shouted shokingly and when another flash of light appeared their was a figure where Twilight sat with no head and it's arms raised into the air. Applejack and Rarity gasped in fear and quickly hugged each other screaming in total fear. It turns out though Twilight revealed herself under a sheet she was wearing and took it off so she could get to the book and turned back on the lights which was also part of Twilight's scaring plan.
"Ghost story, check." Twilight announced and checked off the next step in the book. Applejack and Rarity then realized their were holding each other and quickly withdrew from both of their grasps with unamused looks on thier faces.
"Now, who wants s'mores?" Twilight offered with her hooves on each of their shoulders. Later Applejack was preparing the marshmellows by roasting them by the fireplace while Twilight and Rarity get the graham crackers and chocolate ready.
"Then you place one marshmallow on the top of the chocolate and be sure it's centered - that's critical - and then carefully put another perfectly square graham cracker on the top. And done. Ta-da! [laugh]" Rarity demonstrated as she makes a s'more. Twilight eyed the treat in awe as she never seen a treat like it.
"Nah, ya just eat 'em." Applejack said and dove right into the s'more and ate it making munching sounds and moaned delightfully at the tasty treat. She then made a loud belch which Rarity was far from amused.
"[sigh] You could at least say excuse me." Rarity said repulsively.
"Aw, I was just about to, but you interrupted me. Pardon." Applejack excused with a dominant smile and Rarity rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"S'mores, check. Now the next item of fun we have to do is Truth or Dare." Twilight announced as she reads the book.
"I dare Applejack to do something carefully and neatly for a change." Rarity stated.
"Oh yeah? Well I dare Rarity ta lighten up and stop obsessin' over every last little detail, for a change." Applejack countered.
"I think the truth of the matter is that some pony could stand to pay a little more attention to details."
"And I think the truth is some pony oughta quit with her fussin' so the rest of us can get things done."
"Um, I don't think this is how the game's supposed to work. You have to give an honest answer to any question or do whatever any pony dares you to do." Twilight explained the rules from the book.
"I dares you to step outside and let your precious, tidy mane get ruined again." Applejack challenged. Rarity deeply gasped at the statement.
"You have to. It's the rule." Twilight said. Applejack laughed triumphantly at Twilight's defense.
"Fine!" Rarity said angrily and made her way outside. As she enters the cold outside rain she weeps in regret as she lets her wavy mane and tail get wet. Applejack snickered at sight and sound and watch her come back in shaking from the freezing temperature with her well groomed hair drizzled. Applejack laughed at the sight and it was Rarity's turn for revenge as she approaches her sharply.
"Okay. I dare Applejack to play dress-up in a fru-fru, glittery, lacey outfit." Rarity dared. Applejack gasped in surprise but changed her expression into anger and went to obey the dare. She comes back with princess like clothing unlike Princess Celesit's attire with a pointy hat replacing her stetson.
"Happy?" Applejack asked embarrassingly.
"Very. [smirk]" Rarity chuckled.
"Um, do I ever get a turn?" Twilight asked.
"I dare ya to enter the next rodeo when it comes to town." Applejack dared.
"I dare you not to enter the next rodeo that comes to town." Rarity countered.
"I dare ya to not comb your mane a hundred times before bed."
"And I dare you to comb yours just once." the two were throwing dares more than asking for truths that it was getting out of hand. So Twilight decided to move on.
"I, uh, I think we should check off Truth or Dare and move on. Let's see what our next fun-fun-fun thing is, shall we? Hm, what does this mean? Pillow fight?" Twilight read confusingly.
"Oh, please. I am not at all interested in participating in something so crude." Rarity rejected until a pillow hits her in the face and sees it was Applejack who threw it. She gave a menacing glare at the farmer and had enough of her.
"It, is, on!" Rarity said competetively and threw back the pillow Applejack used and got hit in the face as well. Applejack then counter attacked by bucking three more pillows at her which all hit their target. Rarity does the same by kicking them by the front except hers missed their target. Applejack then used a lasso and spun her pillows as hard as she could and let it fly at Rarity. Rarity however was a unicorn so she did the one thing a unicorn can do: magic. She levitates the thrown pillows by her sides and forced them back at Applejack. The two arguers had themselves a pillow war trying to hurt the other as much as they can. Twilight then appeared in the middle of the little battle.
"Oh, I get it! Pillow, fight! Fun! Ugh. Ah." Twilight was then caught in the middle of the fight as a share of pillows hit her in the crossfire.
"Uh, girls? Maybe we should take it down a notch?" Twilight mentioned as her eyes rolled in opposite directions from the pain.
"I will if she will." Applejack said angrily as she continues to attack Rarity and dodging her attacks.
"[gasp] She started it." Rarity argued back as she also dodges the flying pillows and throwing her set of pillows. They then came to their senses after seeing Twilight buried under a stack of pillows and stopped the fighting. Twilight popped out with a pillow on her head and feathers in her mouth. She spat out the feathers so she could speak.
"Maybe we should just call it a night and get some sleep?" Twilight mentioned. Later that night the two bickerers surprisingly agreed to share a bed which lies across from Twilight's. The two laid on their side by the edge so they don't sleep so close to each other. Unfortunately the snooty and fussy Rarity had to start a new fight.
"Keep your muddy hooves on your side of the bed." Rarity whipered irritably.
"My hooves ain't muddy." Applejack assured quitely also irritated.
"They were. There might still be a little on them." Rarity thought.
"There ain't. See?" Applejack rolled over and showed her hoof to her.
"Eww!" Rarity gagged repulsively and pulled the blanket away from Applejack rudely.
"Now who's bein' inconsiderate?" Applejack said and pulled the blanket back away from Rarity. She then gets off the bed.
"I have to make the bed again so the blanket will be right. Get up." Rarity pushed Applejack off the bed.
"Hey!" Applejack quitely shouted out. Rarity used her magic to flatten out the blanket and tucked the back corners under the mattres and smoothen out the blanket as she finishes. Applejack got up and was about to reenter the bed.
"Ah ah ah! You'll ruin it. You have to do it like this." Rarity demonstrated as she slowly slides herself in the blanket making soft moans as she goes along and sighed relaxedly. Applejack just gave a blank stare.
"Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Geronimo!" Applejack shouted as she jumped into the air and landed on the bed causing Rarity to bounce off and rolled the whole blanket back onto her.
"Hey!" Rarity shouted in surprise. Applejack sighed as she lays cozily under the warm blanket.
"You did that on purpose." Rarity assumed.
"Um, yeah?" Applejack said sarcastically.
"Get up so I can fix it again." Rarity demanded.
"Can't hear ya, I'm asleep. [snore]" Applejack mocked as she pretends to do snoring noises. Rarity growled as she lifts the blanket away from Applejack which made her surprised.
"I ain't budgin'." Applejack grumbled angrily.
"You will if you want any blankets." Rarity said between the blanket in her mouth and soon finds it taken away from her by Applejack. Rarity then grabbed the other side of the blanket and tried to tug it away from her but she won't give up without a fight.
"Give it back!" Applejack growled as she pulls the blanket.
"I will not!" Rarity rejected as she pulls back in a tug-a-war fashion.
"Yes, you will!"
"Won't!"
"Will!"
"Won't!"
"Will!"
"Won't!"
"Will!"
"Enough!" Twilight shouted out in frustration. The two fighters then halted and turned their attention to the annoyed Twilight.
"It says right here that the number one thing you're supposed to do at a slumber party is have fun, and thanks to you two I can't check that off!" Twilight said angrily as she shows the book.
"I've been tryin' my darndest to get along." Applejack assured as she drops the blanket and spoke clearly.
"No, it is I who've been trying my best." Rarity reassured also dropping the blanket.
"No, it was me."
"No, it was I."
"Me!"
"I!" the two fought and locked heads pushing each other back.
"I hope you're happy, both of you. You've ruined my very first slumber party. The makeover, the s'mores, Truth or Dare, the pillow fight... I mean, is there anything else that could possibly go wrong?" Twilight shouted in frustration waving her hooves around to emphasize her point. Suddenley they heard a very loud lightning bolt strike and it was very close by.
"Sorry I asked." Twilight said regretfully as she cowers under her sheets. They then were curious to see where the bolt striked and swiftly ran to the bedroom window to see. The three girls gaped in shock to see the lightning bolt strucked a top part of a tree and looked like it was ready to topple down on another house.
"Ya see? That's why we needed to take down all those loose branches in town, not spiffy 'em up." Applejack said as Rarity realizes her mistakes.
"But I-" Rarity was about to excused.
"Outta my way, missy! Time's a-wastin'." Applejack said and opened the window and got out her lasso and was getting ready to throw it. Rarity widened her eyes shockingly knowing what she is about to do.
"Wait! Stop! Don't!" Rarity urgently warned.
"No waitin'! No stopin'! Doin'!" Applejack muffled tensly through her swinging the rope and threw it out. It successfully caught the toppling top part of the tree just in time before the it could fall down.
"And that, my friends, is what we call gettin' 'er done." Applejack said proudly and tugged on the rope. Unfortunately it was huge mistake she should have never made. The unicorns cried out in horror as they watch the seperated tree top tumble down towards the library and crashes into the bedroom. Applejack dangles as she holds on to the rope from falling to the lower part of the library. The tree was stuck in the window and it blocked the windows path from closing away the cold rain and wind as it enters the library.
"[cries] I tried to tell you it would come crashing down in here." Rarity said angrily as she pointlessly cleans up the small mess that was caused by the crash. Applejack eventually climbed herself back up to the bedroom.
"Well, ya should'a tried harder." Applejack argued and widened her eyes in disbelief to see Rarity cleaning up a smaller mess ignoring the tree. Twilight pops out from under the branches with a dizzy look on her face.
"[sigh] I'm mighty sorry, Twilight." Applejack apologized sincerely.
"It's... Well, it's not okay. There's a giant tree branch in the middle of my bedroom, and the book doesn't say anything about having a giant tree branch at your slumber party. Or at least I haven't found that entry yet. Ur... ah!" Twilight said as she skims through the pages in her book in nervousness and tension losing concentration on the tree. Applejack came over to the other side to see Rarity still cleaning and putting away the fallen books back to it's shelf.
"What in tarnation are y'all doin' over there?" Applejack shouted.
"Cleaning up this mess some pony made. Who was that again? Oh, right, that's you." Rarity said sharply which also gave Applejack a very irritated look. She returned to Twilight to see her still flipping through the pages in her book.
"We gotta do somethin'!" Applejack shouted out.
"Baking... BFFs... Brothers... There's nothing in here about branches." Twilight said as she reads through the pages still not on the important task. Applejack then took it in her own hooves to get the tree out. She tried pulling it out, bucking it to smaller pieces, and even stomp on it to make it smaller. She then knew she can't do it alone so she dove back in to get Rarity who was still cleaning up the small mess.
"[grunts] Rarity, for pony's sake, stop sweatin' the small stuff and help me get rid of this thing!" Applejack ordered but Rarity ignored her and continued restocking the shelves.
"I said hussle over here and help me!" Applejack yelled again but was again ignored. Applejack was getting very irritated and was at the verdge of giving up until she had the guts to say the last thing she wanted to say to the arrogant unicorn.
"Look... I'm sorry, all right?" Applejack apologized.
"What was that?" Rarity asked in shock and disbelief now paying attention to her to make sure she heard correctly.
"I said I'm sorry! I should'a listened to you when you noticed where this here branch would end up. Yer annoyin' attention to detail would'a saved us from this whole mess. But right now, ya need to stop bein' so dang fussy pickin' up all the little things and help me move the one big thing in here that actually matters!" Applejack begged. Rarity paused for a moment to think.
"Please!" Applejack again begged. Rarity widened her eyes in disbelief. Applejack the pony she thought had no manners asked politely to help. Rarity then noticed the wet mess on the ground.
"Uh. Uh, but I'll get all icky." Rarity complained.
"Consarnit! What the... eh... you... I mean, yes, ickiness is often a side effect of hard work. But y'all need to get over it, on account I just can't fix this mess I made myself. I need your help." Applejack urged. Rarity took another moment to ponder. Then after a hard deciding moment she had to make she made up her mind.
"Oh. Let's do this." Rarity said with determination in her eyes and prepared herself to help out. The two made their plan up and nodded in agreement they were ready while Twilight was still distracted reading her book.
"Well, they do have a section about backyard slumber parties. Is that what we're doing right now? Does this count as camping?" Twilight asked in denial. Rarity then tensly concentrated her magic and turned the tree into small pieces and made them into small branch statues with shapes like horseshoes, variety of animals, and other objects and gently placed them on the ground. Applejack was ready to buck the stump out of the window which was caught on the wall until she sees Rarity sharpen her sight at her signing to not do it. She then slowly abondoned her bucking stance and slowly grabbed the stump with her mouth and threw it out the window. Rarity smiled proudly at her as she closes the window thus ending the chaotic mess. The two smiled at each other in admiration for a job well done. Rarity then notices the muddy mess on her with leaves and twigs stuck on her.
"U-ugh. Oh, I look awful." Rarity said sadly. Applejack couldn't help but feel sorry for her as she rubs her chin with her hoof and pondered for something to make her feel better. Then an idea popped in her head and approach Rarity with something in her hooves. She placed two things on her face.
"Better?" Applejack asked kindly. It appeared Applejack placed two slices of zucini on her eyes and Rarity couldn't help but smile at Applejack's silly kindness.
"Hmph, thanks." Rarity said and was waving her hoof forward trying to find Applejack blindly. Applejack approched and embraced her into a much needed hug. Twilight finally turns her attention to the small tree figurines that lie around her.
"Oh, pretty! Where did these come from? They're not in the book either." Twilight said as she returns to the book. The next day after everything was cleaned up and the storm was still brewing the three remained in the library until the storm simmers down. They were now laughing and having fun as they play a game of 20 questions.
"Is it bigger than a barn?" Applejack guessed.
"[laugh] Nope." Twilight answered.
"Is it smaller than a saddle?" Rarity asked.
"[laugh] No! Only three of your twenty questions left!" Twilight mentioned.
"[sigh] We're never gonna guess what y'er thinkin' of, it could be anythin'." Applejack complained.
"Are we getting warmer?" Rarity asked.
"Why? Is it too cold in here for you? I can turn up the heat." Twilight asked concernly as she misunderstood the term.
"She means are we gettin' any closer with our guesses?" Applejack explained.
"Oh! No. And that technically counted as a question, so only two more left!" Twilight said.
"Is it... a six-legged pony with a purple polka-dotted mane and shootin' stars comin' out of his eyes?" Applejack randomly guessed.
"Who flies through the air all over the world to hide magic, sparkly eggs?" Rarity added her question to help out Applejack's question and the two looked at Twilight with hope that they were right.
"That's it!" Twilight said.
"It is?" Applejack and Rarity asked bewilderedly in unison.
"No. [chuckle] It's that." Twilight pointed up and the two turned their attention to a telescope as Twilight's answer.
"But it was just so nice to see you two finally getting along, I wanted you to be able to win together." Twilight said happily. Two guessers laughed playfully to Twilight's plan.
"See? We could have been having fun like this all along." Twilight said.
"If only some pony hadn't been so persnickety." Applejack said as she looks at Rarity.
"Well, maybe she wouldn't have been if some pony else hadn't been so sloppy." Rarity stated and Applejack's expression along with Rarity's changes into angry looks but was changed again into warm smiles.
"Sorry for being such a pain in the patootie." Applejack apologized.
"Oh, no, I'm sure I was much worse." Rarity genourously insisted.
"That's kind of ya ta say, but I'm the one who's sorry."
Oh, I'm much more sorry than you are.
"Ugh. Are not."
"Are too."
"Are not."
"Are too."
"Are not."
"Are too." what looked like to be another heated fight turned into a fun joking fight as Applejack and Rarity laughed.
"I declare my first slumber party a success!" Twilight announced as she comes up between the two. Applejack and Rarity clapped their hooves and cheered. Twilight brought up the book and checked off the last step.
"Have fun, check." Twilight said and the two began laughing again.
"Now take two steps to your left. Uh, no, my left." Rarity instructed as she and Applejack play another game as Applejack is blindfolded by two slices of zucini on her eyes and moved unbalanced.
"Whu, which is it? Whoa!" Applejack shouted as she crashes right into a wall of books. She took off the zucini and got back up with a pillow on her head.
"That mess is your fault, not mine. [laughter]" Applejack teased.
"[laughter] Sorry." Rarity apologized and the two began laughing again as Twilight writes down another lesson for the princess.
"Dear Princess Celestia,
It's hard to believe that two ponies who seem to have so little in common could ever get along. But I found out that if you embrace each other's differences, you'd just be surprised to discover a way to be friends after all." Twilight wrote down and returned her attention the others.
"So... who's up for another slumber party tomorrow night?" Twilight asked with a smile. Applejack and Rarity looked at each other with devious smiles on their face and knew they both had the same idea. Without warning Twilight was found being hit by two pillows in the face.
"How about a week from Thursday? Oh, how about two weeks from Saturday? A month from now?" Twilight planned as Applejack and Rarity laughed at Twilight's early planning. After a whole night of harsh weather the dark rain clouds finally move away from the beautiful suns rays as it shines all over Ponyville. Now Zach and Spike have a clear path to get back to their normal lives.
